Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 706 Retreat without a fight?

Although the little sparks are still on the distant mountain, but looking around, they are in all directions.

Even an idiot would know that the Chinese soldiers were under these little sparks, and he would know what they were doing.

They are actually coming here.

Majesticly, they moved towards an imperial army with more than 2000 troops and thousands of peripheral troops.

When were the Chinese so bold?
Did the imperial army even have a day when it was besieged?
I don’t know if this is the first time for the imperial army, anyway, in the impression of Major General Kunizaki, who has always been triumphant in the North China and Southeast battlefields, the cliff is his first time.

On the point of being surrounded, as Tang Dao said, Your Excellency, Major General of the Imperial Japanese Army, a proper little girl.

At this moment, my eyes are almost blinded by the torches that the Chinese are lighting up.

No, perhaps the reason why the major general of the Japanese Army solidified into a statue together with his eye feces was not just that the Chinese were fat and fat, nor that he was tender enough, but that he thought carefully and feared.

The Chinese officer who was able to block him for a whole day on the Mouse Mountain and successfully attacked the artillery brigade at night to blow up more than a dozen cannons had already proved that he was a tough and cunning opponent.

But would such an opponent come to rescue his subordinates with great fanfare at the risk of annihilation for no reason?
Yes, at the first sight of these sparks, Kunizaki knew the intention of the Chinese people to frantically surround them.

It's just to save people.

But this is definitely an irrational to almost crazy move.

The more than 2000 men under his command may not be able to attack the Chinese army that is firmly defended according to the mountain, but if the two sides change places, the Chinese will need at least several times his strength to attack him.And even for this, he will still get air support from the navy. Even if the Chinese gather a large number of troops, he believes that it will be nothing more than a bloody blow.

Even, in the case of mobilizing two forces by yourself, the main force of the Chinese may not be successful in saving people, but they will all fall into the battlefield.

But the Chinese did just that.

This is illogical!

Or, there must be other logic in it.

For example, they are confident that their two outer armies cannot be mobilized, especially that idiot Takeuchi Yunzan
Just when this idea came to the fore, Kunizaki felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of the sky.

"Order the entire army to enter the line of defense immediately, and at the same time strengthen the fortifications everywhere. The captains of the infantry squadrons must be vigilant, pay attention to the whereabouts of the Chinese, and wait for the military order from the detachment headquarters!" , put down the binoculars, and calmly ordered.

"Hi!" The Chief of Staff of the Lieutenant Assistant nodded heavily.

Seeing Kunizaki's face was so ugly, he hesitated for a while and finally asked: "Your Excellency, Captain, is there with Takeuchi Yunzan, shall we go again?"

The three infantry detachments dispatched in the afternoon seemed to have disappeared, and no one has reported back so far. The officers of the Kunizaki detachment actually knew that they were in danger.

"Continue to use the radio to call, and there is no need to send scouts to contact. According to the formation of the Chinese at this time, I am afraid that we have underestimated their military strength. They have at least one infantry division or even more. The situation is not familiar, and the lack of troops will only increase casualties." Kunizaki waved his hands with a livid face. "We can only wait for the navy millipedes to take off normally and bring us good news."

"Hi!" Seeing that Kunizaki had made up his mind, the Chief of Staff of the Zhongzuo could only nod and turn to leave.

In fact, both of them knew well that the situation might not be optimistic, especially at this moment when the Chinese suddenly put up such a big battle in the early hours of the morning.

However, whether it is the icy Kunizaki stunned, or the Japanese army lieutenant who is nervous, the worst case scenario is that the Takeuchi Yunshan Department has suffered heavy losses and its combat effectiveness has seriously declined. It would never have occurred to the Takeuchi Yunshan Infantry Regiment that Even Takeuchi Yunzan, the army chief, was put in [-] poses for the Chinese military reporters to "take pictures" and it will become an extremely important war history document in the Chinese Military Museum in the future.

Kunizaki's fluke was completely shattered after three hours of sitting on pins and needles.

First of all, the central army he mobilized was unable to move.

At the moment when the sun was just rising, the Chinese completed a terrifying blast on the way to the cross shop with the newly assembled central army.

The entire cliff was blasted across, and thousands of tons of rocks blocked the mountain road tightly. It is not impossible to pass through it. The whole army must abandon all luggage and all artillery.

To put it bluntly, only people can climb over it.

Is the infantry without artillery still the invincible imperial infantry?After passing through the battlefield in the mountainous area of ​​southern Anhui, Kunizaki realized in a daze that the cliff was gone.

In the face of this cunning and tenacious Chinese army, you may not be able to win with guns, let alone without guns.

Moreover, the artillery brigade borrowed from the 36th Infantry Brigade is already the last support of his Guozaki detachment. If all the brains are lost, I am afraid that the Chinese will really be able to treat him unscrupulously.

In desperation, he could only order his central army to be vigilant and garrison in place. It doesn't matter if they can't come to participate in the decisive battle with the Chinese, but don't let them be ambushed by the Chinese and it will be over.

The only thing that comforted Kunizaki from this news was that the Chinese did not blast the cliffs while the army was marching. Otherwise, if thousands of tons of boulders were thrown down, an unknown number of imperial troops would be buried here.

Of course the Chinese would like to, but the facts do not allow it!
First, the commander of the Japanese army was as cautious as a frightened bird. He sent up to four infantry squads to explore the way, and the distance from the main force of the slow march was as far as 1000 meters. One carelessness not only failed the plan of smashing the Japanese with stones If you are empty, you will also be trapped.

Because, there were only 4 Chinese soldiers who came to carry out this task of blocking the advance of the Japanese army in the middle.

Gu Xishui and Niu Er's special warfare team 1 was equipped with another 15 mountain people who were responsible for carrying explosives.

Seeing that the Japanese army was so cautious, Gu Xishui immediately gave up the unrealistic idea of ​​bombing the Japanese army, and immediately detonated the 200 kilograms of explosives buried in the cliff, blowing up half of the hill next to the road, and a large number of rocks fell. The simple road from Guangde County to Wuhu was divided into two.

The Japanese army wanted to clear the stones on the road to the extent that horse-drawn carriages and cars could pass through it, not to mention a few hours, even if they were given two days, it might not work.

In other words, Tang Dao completely restrained the Japanese army with more than 2000 troops and a large amount of luggage, and only sent 4 elite soldiers to do it.

Although neither side was harmed, the independent battalion should not take advantage of this exchange.

Of course, for Kunizaki, even if his central army can't come, it won't scare him. He still has a main force of more than 2000 people and the remnants of Takeuchi Yunshan, even if he has only 1000 people left , More than 3000 imperial infantrymen are enough to resist 8000 Chinese.

This is because Kunizaki took the initiative to lower the combat ratio against the Chinese army. Half a month ago, he even dared to say 2 Chinese.

The Navy Malu did not disappoint him this time. Although the fog was still thick, the Navy took the risk to take off a reconnaissance plane at the urging of the Tenth Army Command.

So, after receiving the good news and looking forward to it, Major General Kunizaki received the unbelievable bad news an hour and a half later.

The naval reconnaissance plane reported that in a river valley a few kilometers away from the battlefield, they found the battlefield after the fierce battle, and under the drive of curiosity, they took the risk and jumped into the low altitude of 300 meters, and found a large number of neatly arranged fruit corpses .

After several consecutive low-altitude observations, I finally had to regretfully tell the army idiots that the [-] corpses could only belong to the Imperial Army.

A few bloody corpses wearing shit-yellow military uniforms proved their identities.

As for why a large number of remains were made of red fruit, the Japanese Navy pilots did not need to describe in detail. The dumbfounded generals of the Tenth Army Command also knew that it must be that the cotton clothes had also become spoils of war for the Chinese army.

The remains of many Chinese soldiers have shown that those Chinese soldiers who came from the south went to the battlefield without even winter clothes, and suddenly they had warm clothes. No matter how disgusting it is to pick off the dead, it is better than freezing to death by yourself!

'According to the naval reconnaissance, all the jade in the Takeuchi Yunshan Department has been broken! Kunisaki took the telegram sent by the Tenth Army Headquarters in disbelief and read it several times before he believed this fact.

No wonder the Chinese dared to attack with a large army, and Kunizaki finally had the answer.

Although it was the answer he least wanted to face.

"Baga! Baga! All the Chinese are dead." Kunizaki's stunned roar in the military tent made the Japanese officers standing more than ten meters away shudder.

"Chinese, what are they doing?" After a long time, Kunisaki finally calmed down and asked in a daze.

"Your Excellency, the detachment leader, they are digging fortifications crazily and have not launched an attack. Thinking about it, they are also quite scrupulous about our army's position." The chief of staff of the lieutenant assistant quickly reported.

The voice did not fall.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of violent shelling suddenly sounded.

Clouds of gunpowder smoke rose around the artillery positions in the distance.

Pang Dahai's mountain cannon platoon with 4 mountain cannons slapped the brigade-level lieutenant chief of staff in a timely manner.

The whole place was quiet.

Kunizaki walked out of the field tent in a daze, his face as pale as a dead man.

"Pass my order, the 3rd and 8th Infantry Battalion, each draw out an infantry squadron and a heavy machine gun squadron, and send two additional infantry artillery squadrons to accompany them, and charge south with all their strength. The squadron stood firm and waited for follow-up orders." Kunizaki stared at the black smoke rising from his own artillery position, and ordered in a cold voice.

This is, retreat?breakout?
All the Japanese officers were stunned!
