Not long after the telegram was sent, Li Jin replied, asking Lu Changgong to continue to stay here and not to move around if there was no danger. He would be here in about two days.
"Is Lee coming over?" Lafki asked.
"Well, the company commander said he will be here in two days." Lu Changgong nodded.
"Okay."
The next morning, half past six.
The morning sun is rising, and the golden sunshine is scattered in the Changming Mountains. A group of Japanese soldiers are still advancing forward from several directions.
At around eight o'clock, the Japanese soldiers from all directions met. After more than ten hours of rapid advancement, they did not find any enemy at all.
When they finally met, all the Japs fell silent.
The Japanese captain was even more gloomy.
"Liant Commander, no enemies have been found in four directions." The Japanese Major said.
"It's impossible, absolutely impossible. How could they escape in such a short time?
They are definitely still in the mountains. It must be because they advanced too fast and some places were not searched. Here we are, continue searching," shouted the Jaap team leader.
He did not believe that the other party could escape in such a short period of time. He would rather believe that the other party hid well and evaded the search. After all, the terrain in the mountains was complicated, and it was not necessarily possible to ignore some places.
"Hi" the Japanese Major nodded quickly and turned to give the order.
In fact, the co-captain had already guessed that the other party had run out, but he just didn’t want to believe it.
On the other side, Li Jin also set off with the soldiers of the special battle company. They needed to get to Fengling within two days.
It was not until the next morning that no trace of the enemy was found, and the Japanese captain finally believed that the enemy had escaped.
"Tell me, how could they run away? How did they manage to run so far in such a short time?" the Japanese captain looked at the major and said.
His tone was filled with a sense of defeat. Since entering China, when had he ever been in such a mess? Tens of thousands of people surrounded and suppressed two to three hundred troops, and he actually let the opponent escape.
And the brigade leader was ambushed by the enemy during the encirclement and suppression, and his jade was shattered.
The most important thing is that until now, none of them can see the enemy's face clearly, which makes him doubt whether this unit is human.
Is there any army that can do this?
"Captain, is it time to report the matter to the commander?" said the Japanese Major.
They still dare not tell the commander about the news about brigade commander Yu Sui. After all, tens of thousands of people encircled and suppressed a small unit. It didn’t matter if they didn’t succeed in encircling and suppressing them. The highest commander was still killed by the enemy during the encirclement and suppression. .
If this spreads out, people will not laugh to death.
"Go ahead and draft a telegram and send all the events of the past few days to the commander." After finishing these words, the Japanese captain slumped on the ground.
It’s embarrassing. I really don’t have the shame to see those colleagues. I was fooled around by a small army.
Japanese headquarters.
The Japanese commander looked at the sand table in front of him and smiled. The situation in Wuhan has been proceeding according to his plan. It can be won in half a month at most.
"Commander, the battle situation on the front line is stable. We have been gradually advancing, and I believe we will be able to capture Wuhan soon." said the Japanese Lieutenant General on the side.
They have broken through many defense lines of the national army in the past two days, forcing the national army to retreat continuously and losing many positions.
The current imperial army is almost unstoppable.
"Telegraph the frontline troops to proceed steadily, not to advance too fast, to ensure that the troops can take care of each other, and not to let what happened in Wanjialing happen again," the Japanese commander said.
Wuhan has become a treasure, so it is better not to let anything happen. If there are heavy casualties at the critical moment, that is not what he wants to see.
"Hi" the Japanese Lieutenant General nodded.
"By the way, what's going on over there in the Changming Mountains? Didn't Fujisei Ichiro say before that he had successfully surrounded the opponent? It's been several days and there's still no news." The Japanese commander suddenly thought of the Changming Mountains. of troops.
With tens of thousands of troops, it is impossible to surround and suppress hundreds of people and still let the opponent escape.
“It’s not clear yet, but since Fujisei Ichiro has successfully surrounded the opponent, he is probably still fighting.
After all, this force is still very strong and cannot completely compress the opponent. With the limited range of activities, it should still be difficult to destroy the opponent in a short time.
In addition, the terrain of the mountains is also beneficial to the enemy, so let's wait," the Japanese Lieutenant General said.
There are only a few hundred enemies, and their mobility is still very advantageous in the vast mountains. It is impossible to annihilate them all at once. The opponent is not an ordinary army after all.
"Well, it's best to destroy the opponent in these two days. I have to transfer the brigade to the front line to fight. For a small force, the opponent has been delayed for such a long time, and the opponent is proud enough. "The devil commander nodded.
This is the first time that tens of thousands of people have been dispatched just to annihilate a small army.
"I will have someone send a telegram to Fujisei Ichiro later, asking him to speed up and come back after killing the opponent." Japanese Lieutenant General said.
However, at this moment, a Japanese communications soldier hurried in, his face a little pale.
"Commander, there's a telegram from the Changming Mountains," the Japanese communications soldier said.
"Oh, it seems that Fujisei Ichiro has eliminated the opponent." The Japanese commander had a smile on his face. As soon as he said the opponent, there was a telegram immediately. It was good, not bad.
"That should be the case. After all, Fujisei Ichiro is also an imperial general. It is not easy for him to lead the team to destroy a small army." Japanese Lieutenant General also said with a smile.
No matter how strong the enemy is, they cannot stop them in the face of absolute strength. Although they have a numerical advantage, so what.
Sometimes, having more people is also a strength.
Speaking of it, the opponent is really powerful. In the past, the empire's troops defeated the majority with fewer troops, but now it is actually the other way around, and they have used thirty times more troops than the opponent.
"Uh, Commander, no, you'd better read the contents of the telegram yourself." The Japanese communications soldier stuttered a little.
The content of this telegram is not at all what the two said.
Hearing this, the Japanese commander frowned, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. He reached out and took the telegram.
The more he read the contents of the telegram, the darker his face became.
"Commander, Fujisei Ichiro could have let the other party escape?" The Japanese Lieutenant General also noticed something was wrong. Now it seems that this is the only possibility.
"Not only did he let the other party run away, but he was also killed by the other party." The Japanese commander said each word through gritted teeth. The veins on his forehead popped out and his face became ferocious.
"How is it possible that Nani Fuji Seiichiro's jade is broken?" The Japanese Lieutenant General was shocked and couldn't believe it at all.
"See for yourself." The Japanese commander threw the telegram in the face of the Japanese lieutenant general.
"What an imperial general? What a bullshit general. A person like this can actually become a brigade leader.
He is dead. If he is not dead, I will be too. I have to kill him with my own hands." The Japanese commander became more and more angry as he spoke. He punched the edge of the sand table with a dull thud, and everyone present was so frightened that they did not dare to breathe.
"Ten thousand troops, encircling and suppressing hundreds of troops, not only allowed the opponent to escape, but were even killed by the opponent.
Tell me, how did he command Yes, is he taking command with his butt? If this gets out, will we still have the face to see people? Tell me." The Japanese commander stared at the Japanese Lieutenant General fiercely.
He couldn't accept that he sent tens of thousands of people out, only to be escaped by a small force of several hundred people.
No matter how you look at it, the other party is destined to die, but they let the other party escape, and even their top commander was killed by the other party.
Although the Japanese Lieutenant General was scared, he patiently read the contents of the telegram.
"Commander, in fact, judging from Fujisei Ichiro's command method, he did not make a command mistake. The enemy was too powerful and cunning." Japanese Lieutenant General said.
He read the telegram carefully. If he were to take command, he would probably be like Fujisei Ichiro.
The only thing they didn't expect was that the enemy was far more powerful than they imagined, which led Fujisei Ichiro to make a wrong judgment.
"Oh, according to you, I have to praise him." The Japanese commander looked at the lieutenant general expressionlessly.
“Commander, I didn’t mean that. Fujisei Ichiro’s biggest mistake was to underestimate the enemy’s combat effectiveness.
He thought that with tens of thousands of people in his hands, he could easily kill several enemies. Hundreds of people, so they were careless.
The key is that the enemy released Captain Oshima and gave Ichiro Fujisei the wrong information," Lieutenant General Japanese said..
Although Fujisei Ichiro was a little careless at first, he still paid more attention to this encirclement and suppression.
However, Captain Oshima's words made him misjudge, making him think that the enemy was just stronger than them, just with more firepower than troops of the same number.
The enemy let Captain Oshima go and used the opponent's mouth to convey the wrong message, which completely amplified Fujisei Ichiro's arrogance and led to failure.
The Japanese commander also calmed down and thought carefully about Fujisei Ichiro's combat method. It seemed that there was really no big problem.
The enemy first attacked to the north, giving an illusion, and then pretended to retreat to the west, giving another illusion, and then jumped out as quickly as possible before encircling them.
Let Fujisei Ichiro think that the other party is surrounded.
Then, the enemy ambushed Fujisei Ichiro, broke through from the east, and gave the illusion of going north. In fact, the enemy did not run north at all. When the soldiers in the mountains went north to encircle and suppress him, the enemy Back in the mountains again.
And escaped from the mountains in the shortest possible time.
“Commander, this is not Fujisei Ichiro’s fault. The commander of this unit is really smart. In addition, the strength of this unit is beyond our imagination.
After all, even we don't believe that the other party can run more than 130 miles of mountain roads and escape in such a short period of time," the Japanese Lieutenant General continued.
The strongest troops in the empire could not reach this point, but the other party did it.
If the empire's most elite small force of a few hundred people were blocked in the Changming Mountains by tens of thousands of Chinese Central Army troops, they probably wouldn't be able to escape.
But this army did it.
This was the first time he was afraid of an army. The enemy's endurance and combat effectiveness were all top-notch. There were many artillerymen among hundreds of people, which was extremely rare.
It's as if the soldiers in this army are all-powerful. It's really scary. How come this kind of army exists and how it is trained.
This is only a few hundred people. What if there are thousands or tens of thousands of people? What will happen? It may be enough to change the direction of victory in a war
Fortunately, this This kind of troops will definitely require a lot of resources to train, otherwise it would be impossible to train them.
Training a force of several hundred people would require at least tens of thousands of materials to be consumed.
"Let them come back and concentrate on fighting Wuhan." The Japanese commander sighed.
That group of enemies no longer knew where to flee, thinking that encirclement and suppression would be impossible.
It’s really a bit frustrating. The other party actually killed two of his brigade commanders one after another. No, including the one from Fengling, there should be three brigade commanders.
In addition to the brigade commanders who were wiped out by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army at the dock, he actually lost four brigade commanders in this attack on Wuhan. This was unprecedented since the full-scale war.
Even Songhu did not lose any brigade commanders, and not even many company commanders died.
However, in just over a month, he lost four brigade commanders one after another.
Fengling, 5:30 pm.
The Japanese soldiers have withdrawn from the battlefield.
Inside the 215th Division headquarters.
Liang Gu listened to the casualty report reported by his men and sighed in his heart. Many more soldiers were sacrificed.
"Master, we are now in a stalemate with the Japanese. Although we have suffered a lot of losses, the Japanese are not feeling well either." said the first brigade commander.
The Japanese did not bring a lot of artillery, so their division could have an evenly matched artillery battle with the Japanese.
"But this is not a long-term solution after all. I heard that the frontal battlefield has begun to lose ground. In just a few days, many positions have been lost.
Yesterday was the day. Inside, the casualties reached tens of thousands.
Thousands of people from the 356th Brigade were directly killed, and few survived," the second brigade commander said.
"Master, I think Wuhan won't be able to hold on for much longer. We should be ready to retreat. Otherwise, if we try to retreat, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy casualties." The third brigade commander also interjected. stand up.
It is not a shame to prepare for a retreat in advance. After all, the green hills are left without fear of running out of firewood. Besides, their 215th Division has also made great contributions, and no one will say anything if they want to withdraw.
"Yes, I understand." Liang Gu nodded. Since Wuhan couldn't hold on, the final result was to withdraw.
If the retreat is not well organized, the troops will suffer heavy casualties. If we prepare now, we will not suffer so many casualties by then.
"Hey, Master, I heard that the Japs mobilized a brigade to the Changming Mountains a few days ago, and also mobilized the Japs from surrounding counties. Is this some kind of conspiracy?" The First Brigade The commander said, he didn't understand what the Japanese wanted to do. "Where did you get the news?" Liang Gu looked at the first brigade commander.
"Well, one of my classmates is a military commander. He told me before." The brigade commander said without hiding anything.
"That's it." Liang Gu didn't ask any more questions, but for some reason, he felt that the Japanese were recruiting people to the Changming Mountains, maybe Mu Jin.
"Mu Jin" Liang Gu said, "Mu Jin may have done something there to anger the Japanese and then fled to the Changming Mountains, so he was surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese." Please remember to collect, the latest website The fastest and free reading without anti-theft
