Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 661 The battlefield is not a chessboard
A group of Chinese soldiers walked down the mountain amidst Lang Lang's laughter.

It seemed that the heavy theory of life and death that made the air stagnate just now had never appeared before.

And the Japanese Army Command is also engaged in a wild dance of demons.

A group of Japanese generals and assistant officers with big black eyes offered their words and suggestions amid the harassing gunshots that sounded from time to time.

Strong advocates send a small group of troops into the mountains to find the Chinese army and fight to contain them, while the main force quickly passes through the mountain roads to the plains;
There are also those who can't stand this humiliation and suggest that the troops be divided into multiple routes and enter the mountains to encircle the Chinese army;
There are also those who pin their hopes on naval reconnaissance planes, asking them to help find traces of the Chinese army, and then the army is dispatched to encircle and suppress;
There are even cruel ones, suggesting that the army go into the mountains to catch the Chinese as shields. Of course, it is not to catch the Chinese soldiers, but the Chinese mountain people, and tie them to the side of the army. If the Chinese dare to bombard them, they will also be killed. Their own people were killed; or, as long as the Chinese dared to sneak attack, they shot and killed some civilians.

It was none other than the big traitor Li Shoushan who made this suggestion.

Don't tell me, as soon as this cruel and ruthless suggestion was made, even the Japanese generals couldn't help but take a second look at this "Chinese" who had defected to the empire.

How shameless is this Baga?Can you even come up with such a sinister idea?
But who is the Guozaki detachment? It is one of the strongest divisions in the empire. Even if it is disgraced once outside Guangde City, it is just a small setback. The pride of the strongest infantry division in the empire is still there.

Li Shoushan's proposal, which may have been effective but tarnished the honor of the Warriors, was eventually rejected.

To put it bluntly, it wasn't that he didn't want to, but that Kunisaki, who hadn't reached the end of his life, couldn't afford to lose that person.

In the end, Kunisaki decided on a tactical plan for the next few days based on the opinions of all parties and his own preliminary ideas.

Go, it is impossible to go.

Since entering China, Kunizaki, who has been advancing almost all the way, has never suffered such a big loss on the Chinese battlefield. .

It's fine if the front-line infantry loses an infantry brigade, and a dozen artillery pieces are also lost.Compared to this, the loss of troops outside Songjiang City is nothing compared to this.

He marched in a long snake formation, in fact, just as Tang Dao guessed, he was not just passively beaten at all, but was patiently looking for a fighter, in order to wipe out the Chinese army that made him lose face in one fell swoop.

It's just that the Chinese are much more patient than he thought, and they only send small groups of troops to harass distant mountains, never giving him a chance for a decisive battle.

What's more terrible is that if he continues to act according to the original plan, the Guoqi detachment will almost be harassed by the Chinese and become a panda detachment.

Sleep is difficult to guarantee, physical fitness deteriorates, and the combat effectiveness is naturally severely reduced. Even if the Chinese really want to fight in battle, the battle damage will be much greater than he expected.

That can only change the tactics, from the constant change to the active attack to seek a decisive battle.

Therefore, Kunizaki's tactical thinking is, no longer move forward, the whole army turns passive into active, and enters the mountain.

The whole army is still divided into three divisions.

Of course, this time it is no longer a long snake formation, but a parallel "Chuan" character, changing from the front, middle and back three parts to the left, middle and right three parts.

Of the remaining 5 infantry brigades in the army, two infantry brigades were led by him personally, with a mountain artillery squadron, six infantry artillery squadrons, and a cavalry squadron, and entered the Shizipu area of ​​the left-wing mountainous area to look for the Chinese army.

On the middle road, Oda Shinobi led an infantry brigade, the remnant of the Jing'an Army's first brigade, two mountain artillery squadrons, a heavy supply team, an engineering brigade, and a part of the armored squadron continued to move slowly along the simple road.

On the right, Takeuchi Yunshan led two infantry brigades, a mountain artillery squadron, four infantry artillery squadrons, an engineering squadron, and two Type 94 armored vehicles into the area around Yao Village in the right-wing mountainous area to search for Chinese troops.

No matter who finds the Chinese army on the left or right, they will launch an attack first to drag the Chinese army, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive before launching the final attack.

At the same time, send the decided tactical plan to the Tenth Army Headquarters, requesting naval air support, reconnaissance planes and bombers are needed. After the enemy forces in the mountains are wiped out, the whole army will quickly pass through the mountains in southern Anhui to attack Wuhu, and completely complete the attack by Liu Chuanping. The strategic conception of encircling Jinling before and after.

Yanagawa Hirasuke, who was up late at night, quickly sent back and forth calls, agreeing to Kunizaki's tactical plan.

For Yanagawa Heisuke, who has already arrived 60 kilometers outside Jinling, his strategy of going south to conquer the Chinese capital has been largely realized. Now there is no 18th Division and Kunisaki Detachment after the detour from Taihu Lake to outflank Jinling.

When they arrive and conquer Wuhu on the banks of the Yangtze River, they will complete the last closed loop of the encirclement. Jinling, an ancient Chinese city, will completely become an isolated city. Conquering it is only a matter of time.

Conquer the capital of a country!He may be the first general in Japanese history to hold his head high and enter the capital of the giant country that their ancestors once coveted but feared. The door of dreams is about to open to him.

Naturally, Yanagawa Hirasuke would not want any accidents to happen to the westward marching army, even if it delayed the marching speed.

Therefore, he not only agreed to Kunizaki's request, but also personally contacted the Third Fleet stationed on the coast of Songhu to request air support.

The conflict between the navy and the army still exists, but at this time and at that time, the army not only won the battle of Songhu, but also broke through hundreds of miles, pointing directly at the hinterland of China, and the limelight is gaining momentum.

And at this time, the commander of the East China Dispatch Army was no longer the idiot Matsui Iwane who was only influential in the army, but the imperial prince who had sufficient influence in the imperial political arena.

The traumatized admiral commander of the Third Fleet had no choice but to do his best to help the Army Malu, and he verbally promised to send three sorties of reconnaissance planes into the mountains during the day for reconnaissance. bombing.

The Guozaki detachment can be said to have exerted [-] points of strength at this time, waiting for the day to come and have a good fight with the Chinese army.

As everyone knows, the Chinese also think so.

However, the battlefield is not a chessboard.

An accident changed the trend of the entire battlefield.

Originally according to Tang Dao's plan, the appearance of Japanese reconnaissance planes during the day was the most necessary part of the plan.

Only in this way can the major general's headquarters with a large number of pack horses be accidentally seen by Japanese reconnaissance planes. The size of an army of hundreds of people cannot be said to be too large, but if a large number of pack horses are added, it will definitely become the most beautiful piece of fat.

A part of the Kunizaki detachment will inevitably be attracted into the mountains to encircle and suppress, and then the hundreds of people who are forced to be exposed will "flee" all the way to the selected hills, which can not only hold back the main force of the Japanese army, but also use the mountains to resist the main force of the Japanese army attack.

When the other part of the Japanese army wants to detour and come over to besiege, it must pass through the valley of the "Laojinkeng" to solve this Japanese army in the shortest time. The main force of the Japanese army who received the news can only give up the hard bone in front of them for self-protection. Temporarily retreat, so that the danger of the major general of the army will be resolved.

Even if they were determined to take down the mountain, they would have enough time to return after dealing with a part of the Japanese army's Tang knife, and the worst would be a head-to-head confrontation with the Japanese.

Let's see how tough the Kunizaki detachment is.

For this reason, Tang Dao even calculated that the Japanese army who entered the mountains to search would inevitably search for Chinese villages first, forcing the local villagers to serve as their guides or order them to tell the Chinese army's movements.

Soldiers are active in the mountains, of course they cannot avoid the eyes of the villagers, and Tang Dao, who is familiar with the Japanese urine, sends many infantry squads to the villages that can be seen to promote them during the day, so that they can hide further away. in the mountains.

In this way, it is avoided to expose the position of the army and prevent the villagers from being hurt by the angry Japanese army.

I heard that the Japanese are coming, and this place is about to become a battlefield. The simple mountain people are driving poultry and livestock, carrying their valuables on their backs, and fleeing according to what the soldiers said.

After the war, returning home is that life is more important than anything else. Although the mountain people have not read much, they still understand this simplest truth.

But there will be a hundred secrets in the end!
