Chapter 546 'Little People' Who Died Accidentally

The battlefield is as calm as the autumn water of Pinghu Lake!
Masanori Tanigawa's heart is in chaos!It's like being bombarded by a naval fleet's guns in the autumn water of Pinghu.

The continuous changes of the 36th Infantry Brigade kept him, the head of the new scientific brigade, very busy. When he had time, he would remember a nobleman who came to the division for gilding?

It was not until the end of the battle in the early morning that he suddenly remembered that there was another "uncle" who was training in the army. He took time out of his busy schedule to ask about him, but he didn't expect that the infantry squadron he was in was transferred to be the vanguard At the moment when Little Jiji shrunk into his abdominal cavity, the 2nd Infantry Battalion who immediately ordered the rescue must find him.

The 2nd Infantry Brigade, who went to be a corpse removal team, lived up to his expectations and successfully found the body of Second Lieutenant Hosokawa Hara Takashi and presented it in front of His Excellency, the head of the Xinke Brigade.

Masanori Tanigawa has never hated Sadao Ushishima so much at that moment. Even if he knows that this man has the careful thought of using his 36th Infantry Brigade to attack at night without compromising the strength of his division, someone has to fight the battle. The honor of the Imperial Army must be upheld, and the 'Strongest Division on the Surface' is not afraid of sacrifice.

But the Second Lieutenant Fujiwara Kawanishi who came to the gold plate died in battle, what should we do?Said that he died for the sake of the empire and deserved his death?

Don't be ridiculous, okay?That's just a slogan to let those civilian soldiers like him die. The reason why middle and senior officers from civilian families like him work so hard on the battlefield is just to get the title of nobility so that their descendants will not It's just a foolish charge against a bullet.

However, the good expectations were shattered.

Masanori Tanigawa, who has nearly 20 years of military experience, knows very well that from the moment Fujiwara Kawanishi died in battle, his military career was over, no matter how well he performed in this war or not.

That huge family has two generals and one lieutenant general in the army base camp alone, not to mention the huge power in the political arena. He, the army chief who is unattainable in the eyes of ordinary infantry, can only speak lightly , can fall from heaven to hell.

If you want to hide it, you can't hide it. With the power of the Fujiwara family in the army, you can investigate the cause of his death and the time of his death at any time.

Masanori Tanigawa, who had been sluggish for a long time, could only report the accident to His Excellency Lieutenant General Heisuke Yanagawa, the acting head of the sixth division two hundred kilometers away. Out of scruples, he tried his best to list the blackness of Ushijima Sadao.

The famous crab theory of psychology, if you let me die, I must also pull you into the water, and the night attack is an order from you Ushijima Sadao.

Yanagawa Heisuke, who was in a high-spirited manner, was wielding troops to conquer the Chinese positions, and received a telegram from Masanori Tanigawa at noon, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

He is the commander of the Tenth Army, and not the nanny of the Sixth Division. How would he know that there is such a great god hidden in the Sixth Division?The worst thing is that the Great God has finished Ba Ga's life.

This is really a group of big idiots, the dead ghost Tani Hisao is, Ushijima is full, Tanigawa Masanori is, Ushishima Sadao is also.
It is said that throughout noon, no one dared to approach 20 meters from the military tent of the Lieutenant General who was still in high spirits in the morning.

A poor communications lieutenant rushed into His Excellency the Lieutenant General's military tent with a battle report from the front because he didn't know the situation, and was stabbed to death by the Lieutenant General who was furious on the spot. He stomped hard into the dirt.

It has to be said that Lieutenant General Yanagawa Hirasuke had the guts to make a decision after a break from his anger. In view of the urgent battle situation on the front line, the news of the death of Second Lieutenant Fujiwara Kawanishi must not be leaked for the time being, and ordered the 36th Infantry Brigade to take his remains Carefully preserve it after cremation, everything will be discussed after this battle is over.

At the same time, the Kunizaki detachment is ready to go, planning to bypass Taihu Lake and go straight to the rear of the JX. Heisuke Yanagawa must keep the [-] Chinese murderers who killed the Japanese nobles on the battlefield. This is also his confession to the Fujiwara family, otherwise, he will not Know how to answer each other's questions.

It was precisely because of this reason that Masanori Tanigawa, who was looking like a mother, and Sadao Ushishima, who was still secretly laughing, escaped quietly.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Fujiwara family, the Jiashan line of defense might not have been broken, and the people who replaced them would have already been on their way.

Because of an unexpected accident on the Japanese side, the Japanese troops in front of the Jiashan defense line temporarily stopped, waiting for reinforcements 200 kilometers away to move in the direction of JX.

As long as they hold the group of Chinese in front of them for five days, and the Guoqi detachment with [-] troops arrives behind the Chinese, the Chinese will be the turtles in the urn, and there is no escape.

In order to prevent the Chinese from escaping, Ushishima Sadao contacted Kiyoshi Hasegawa, the commander of the Japanese Navy Fleet, and asked him to send a reconnaissance plane every hour to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance [-] kilometers behind the Jiashan line of defense.

The Chinese were still as tough as they were on the battlefield. Except for some supply troops transporting supplies back and forth, there was no large-scale mobilization of troops, which made Ushishima Sadao quite relieved.

Annihilating these 20,000 people is his last straw, and he must not let them escape.

But the reconnaissance planes of the Japanese Navy did not dare to get too close to the Chinese positions. The bomber formations that crashed twice in a row reminded them that the Chinese have anti-aircraft guns that can effectively shoot up to 1500 meters, and they don't want to be the spoils of the Chinese.

Therefore, Ushishima Sadao did not know what the Chinese army on the opposite position was doing.

"All staff pack up and prepare to evacuate in batches!" This was a secret military order issued by the Jiashan frontline command to each division and brigade early in the morning.

During the day, the cart swaggering on the simple road and discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance plane was not a convoy transporting supplies, but the artillerymen who transported the last batch of wounded and disassembled the mountain artillery.

Even Tang Dao was amazed at the bold decision Wu Zhongjiang made at this moment.

He used the core heavy firearms of the entire army to play a psychological game with the Japanese. He bet that the Japanese would not use bombers to attack the scattered carriage convoys that seemed to have little tactical value.

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that the bomber formation of the Japanese Navy was beaten up twice in a row. Without those two tragic war histories, the Japanese Navy might be more greedy than it is now.

But this still requires enough courage.

If this batch of artillery is lost, the 18 troops will completely lose their support to confront the [-]th Division. Once they leave the solid fortifications, the Japanese artillery can bury the [-] troops in the wilderness.

Lieutenant General Wu's gamble succeeded. During the day, as many as 1000 wounded and medical personnel were transported away hidden in carriages. Two of the three mountain artillery battalions left, and the three infantry divisions on the ground had already packed their luggage. , just waiting for the night to come.

Just before the sun set, two infantry regiments filed out of the fortifications and evacuated along the road to the JX defense line more than 20 kilometers away in the thin night.

An hour later, two more.

Then, all the baggage troops, all the horses had their mouths tied with towels, thick cotton cloth was tied to their hooves, and the troops were even wrapped in towels. Even coughing was not allowed, except for the leading troops walking at the forefront A few torches can be fired, and all the rest of the soldiers can only grab the backpack straps of the comrades in front in the dark and move forward.

Within three kilometers from the front line, no sound is allowed except for footsteps and ruts.

In this way, according to the principle of evacuating in groups of one hour, the evacuation started at five or six o'clock, and did not start until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, as the last batch of independent battalions to evacuate.

Don’t disturb the reconnaissance soldiers deployed in the wilderness by the Japanese army to leave the position, it’s just the beginning, and then they have to walk a long road of 12 kilometers to reach the defense line with a single soldier carrying a load of 7 kilograms and within 25 hours. It is the final victory.

Otherwise, the Japanese army who found that the defense line was empty in the morning would use fighter planes to bomb, and the open wilderness would be the most deadly. The current independent battalion does not have the strong air-to-air combat capability as before.

Having more weapons, ammunition and various supplies is sometimes not necessarily a good thing, at least when you are running.

Packing lightly is the most correct way to open when running.

Undoubtedly, this is a new test for the newly established independent battalion.
