Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 670 Cowardly!

Takeuchi Yunshan was actually quite excited when he received Kunisaki's telegram.

At least, he can finally get rid of this difficult trek in the mountains of China.

Because they were worried about being attacked by the Chinese lurking in the mountains, they didn’t need Kunizaki to issue military orders. The Japanese army officers who owned horses voluntarily gave up riding. Most of them chose to wear ordinary Japanese infantry uniforms, and even threw the command knife to the orderlies, let alone handsome. The long leather boots and white gloves, which made the Japanese Army Colonel, who has always been equipped with 13 online, feel extremely uncomfortable psychologically.

Of course, like most ordinary human beings, physical fatigue is the real source of pain compared to psychological suffering.

The most difficult thing for Takeuchi Yunshan is to use his legs to measure the vastness of the Chinese mountains like the infantry.

Therefore, most of the time, Takeuchi Yunshan was squeezed into the cockpit of the small Type 94 tank with the tank soldiers, enduring the maddening roar of the engine and the unpleasant smell of diesel.

So much so that the communications staff of the regiment who came to report the military order of the detachment took several glances before he recognized that the guy with the dark face that had come out of the 94 tank was the daily elegant regiment captain.

The experience of capturing Guangde County in southern Anhui, China this time was really terrible. Takeuchi Yunshan is currently in such a state of mind.

Kunizaki stipulated that he must reach the mountainous area near Shizipu on the right wing of the road within four hours, about 12 kilometers away from his location.

If this distance is replaced by a plain area, it can be reached by a quick march in at most 2 hours, but in the mountains, the time will be doubled.

Because there are almost no roads in the mountains of the Chinese. Even the main road connecting them to the town can drive large vehicles, but it can only handle small Type 94 tanks. Otherwise, the excellent combat power of the 89 main battle tank is not enough It will be thrown to the army occupying the simple road in the middle.

In order to ensure the passage of Type 94 tanks, Takeuchi Yunshan could only choose a marching route with a large road.

This is also what Tangdao needs. Laojinkeng is the only way for the Japanese army to reach the Shizipu area, unless they give up their luggage and travel across the mountains with light equipment. .

But obviously, the Japanese army, which relied heavily on artillery and heavy weapons, would not make mistakes. The American cowboys did the same when they faced the mountains on the ice sheet more than ten years later.

The crazy tactical behavior of abandoning all the luggage and carrying only light weapons across the mountains and mountains for 200 miles a day and night will only appear in the hands of Chinese soldiers who rely more on people than weapons and equipment.

The outcome of the war finally proved the correctness of what the great man said, "talent is the factor that determines the victory of war, not weapons".

The mobilization of all the troops of the Japanese army is completely in line with the war chess deduction before the Tang Dao battle, but Tang Dao is not a god, and after all, it is still wrong in two points.

One is that due to an accident, the Lengfeng infantry company was forced to take the initiative to attack and exchange fire with the Japanese army. They could not reach the predetermined battlefield at all, and had to abandon the high ground that had already spent manpower to build fortifications, so that the whole army entered a desperate place to compete with the main force of the Japanese army, and Had to reluctantly discard most of the pack horses and supplies.

In this way, more than [-] people entered the battlefield with no room for strategic maneuvering, relying only on the superior terrain to fight against the main force of the Japanese army. This was the second time since Tang Dao came to this era, and the first time was the dead grave in Sixing Warehouse.

But at least there was a Western Concession there as a shield, and the Japanese heavy artillery and planes had become decorations, and Qinglongling Village had nothing but mountains.

What's more terrible is that if the Japanese army fleet arrives to cooperate with the Japanese army to launch an attack immediately, within a few hours, the cold front will not have any support. Can they hold it?
After receiving Leng Feng's report, Tang Dao stared at the surrounding map of Qinglongling Village and remained silent for 3 minutes before calling Leng Feng back. ', is also enough to reflect the depression in his heart.

Second, Tang Dao underestimated the cautiousness of Takeuchi Yunshan, the chief of the Japanese army.

He didn't know how much psychological shadow the Battle of Mouse Mountain had caused to him. Takeuchi Yunshan repeatedly replayed the Battle of Mouse Mountain in the past few days, and came to a conclusion that the Chinese commander was particularly fond of the kind of surprise attack.

Originally, the head-to-head blocking battle on the first day basically ended with the victory of the Chinese. The Chinese commander could have used this battle to add a lot of color to his military exploits, but he didn't. Instead, he used it at night. The surprise attack, which was almost moths to the flame, severely damaged the artillery position of the detachment after nearly [-] troops, and performed the victory to glory.

But this is also a double-edged sword. If it is not successful, the major defeat of hundreds of people will be swallowed up by the victory of the daytime battle. Anyway, Takeuchi Yunshan would never make such a risky move.

But the Chinese commander did just that, and it succeeded.

Therefore, although Takeuchi Yunshan, who had received the military order, moved closer to the main force, he was extremely cautious in order to prevent himself from being attacked.

From the beginning, Takeuchi Yunshan dispatched a full infantry squadron as vanguard, at least six miles ahead of the main force, which was enough to ensure that the Chinese mortars could not hit the main force.

Not to mention the 200-man infantry squadron as the vanguard, and once they encounter dangerous terrain, this person will send a second infantry squadron to climb the mountain ridge to look around and order the troops to move on if there is no danger.

That's not the kind that just sends a few soldiers with bayonets to poke and shoot a few times in the bushes on the hillside and finish the job without finding anything abnormal.

One or two hundred Japanese soldiers could not wait to line up and walk in the grass for several laps.

Its cautiousness made Gu Xishui's special team, who had been accompanying them about 500 meters away in the mountains, click their tongues. It is really not an easy task to ambush these cautious little devils.

Being cautious can avoid being ambushed and attacked, but the corresponding marching speed will be slower.

In the first two hours, more than 2000 Japanese soldiers only traveled 8 miles, and the speed of marching 2 kilometers in an hour was like a snail crawling.

The location reported to the detachment headquarters every hour made Kunizaki look at the map in a daze and almost stared at him. If he hadn't held a magnifying glass, he wouldn't have been able to find out where the reinforcements he sent were.

It's not like Kunisaki didn't do nothing in the past two hours. He has organized infantry and artillery to launch a tentative attack on Qinglongling Village, and the result is as he expected.

Although the small mountain village with cliffs and steep slopes is not very high, the terrain is extremely unfavorable for attacking. The Chinese have a large number of continuous-firing firearms, and their counterattacks are extremely resolute. They have basically been judged as elite troops.

This judgment left Kunizaki with mixed joy and sorrow, both the joy of blocking the Chinese elite and the worry of insufficient troops.

Although he has two infantry brigades under his command, the hill in front of him is 1000 meters long and more than 300 meters wide, and the front encircled from three sides is nearly 1600 meters long. Infantry squadrons, according to the three-wave attack principle, require 3 infantry squadrons.

Moreover, Kunisaki Teng can't even have a reserve team, which would put both the artillery and the headquarters in danger. The rear attacks of the Chinese army in the past few days have always made Kunizaki Teng deeply wary of this.

As a result, the bastard Takeuchi Yunzan only walked a third of the way two hours after the military order was issued, and Kunisaki's stunned anger was obvious.

The wording of Kunizaki's return call became more and more intense, especially 10 minutes ago, the telegram clearly told Takeuchi Yunshan that if he didn't increase the speed of advance, he could step down as the captain of the alliance.

A commander's words to the third or even the second person under him can also imagine Kunizaki's eagerness to wipe out this Chinese army before dark.

In fact, when it gets dark, who knows what kind of moths the Chinese will make.

There was no other way, Takeuchi Yunshan had no choice but to issue a military order to speed up the march. Except for the vanguard squadron to continue to search and guard along the way, the large troops did not have time to check two steps and take one step as before.

Even so, Tang Dao and his subordinates waited an hour longer than expected when the main force of the Japanese army arrived at the forefront observation post after letting go of an infantry squadron that was advancing ahead of the main force of the Japanese army.

If Gu Xishui hadn't sent a secret telegram an hour ago, saying with certainty that the Japanese army would arrive, even Tang Dao couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

It is true that the ambush in Laojinkeng has turned into a situation that has to be fought at this moment. If this group of Japanese troops is not quickly dealt with, more than 700 people in Qinglongling Village will really be trapped in the urn, and they will never escape. .

In the field of vision of Tang Dao's telescope wearing camouflage clothes, a large group of shit yellow has appeared.

The queue is like a long dragon, stretching for miles.

Then, the long dragon stopped, before the valley, beside the trap dug by Tang Dao.
