Chapter 39 Sakai's Thoughts

The retreat order of Souyama's devils was actually ordered by Bo Tian. In his imagination, the Chinese army that could eat up a brigade of Masao Murata and capture Longkou Fort was at least one division strong. Of course, they and When the imperial soldiers fought, the casualties would definitely not be small, at least three to 4000 people would be lost.So the Chinese army in the mountains has at least 6000 to [-] people, right?Although the imperial army is invincible, if you go deep into the mountains with a few hundred people to fight against the thousands of Chinese troops, and the terrain is unknown and the geography is not familiar, you will definitely suffer losses. It is really not wise to attack blindly.After thinking over and over again, he decided to keep the empire's vitality as much as possible, so he gave the order to retreat.

The facts were just as he had imagined. He lost more than 200 soldiers after entering the mountain for only seven or eight miles, and none of the lieutenant officers who entered the mountain came back.The fighting power of this army is really terrifying!Now Anqing City is short of major generals, all three captains under him, eight captains, two died in battle, two hid in the fish belly of Anqing Wharf, two were seriously injured, and one of them was said to have hit the ship's cabin heavily , It seems to be stunned, whether it can be better is still a question.Now only the captain of the Artillery Regiment is not injured, but there are not many cannons. Is he useful?The generals are gone, and there are not many soldiers. In case the Chinese army on the mountain storms Anqing, can they hold it?Ha Tianzhong had no idea at all.

I have to have a laparotomy, but before the laparotomy, I have to keep Anqing, otherwise Anqing wasted so much manpower and material resources of the empire and returned to the hands of the Chinese, then he will become a sinner through the ages. .He was a courageous man, and he immediately ordered the troops to abandon the surrounding area of ​​Anqing and gather all of them in Anqing. At the same time, he sent a report to Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, the head of the Sixth Division, asking for reinforcements to come quickly.

The shelling incident in Anqing set off a storm in less than a day. The death of the famous naval officer Matsumoto Tanimoto made the arrogant Imperial Japanese Navy Minister furious, and he was about to duel with the Army Minister in front of the Prime Minister.There was too much movement, and the emperor would inevitably be disturbed, so he ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.Therefore, under the coordination of the Prime Minister, the incompatible navy and army finally set up a joint investigation team. Anqing Airport will be repaired within three days, and Anqing must be firmly guarded at the same time.

Japan's ruling and opposition parties were arguing over the death of Tanimoto Mataro, and Inaba Shiro, the head of the Sixth Division of the dispatched army, was also devastated. Eight generations are all over the place.He was also quite depressed, Shigeichi Hata is such an idiot, he doesn't even know whether he is round or flat?This battle was just for Peihe to attack Anqing, so he included his detachment in his battle order. Unexpectedly, he was stabbed into such a big basket all at once, and the blame was to be settled on his head !Who is Matsujiro Tanimoto?How can you die in your own sphere of influence?
The irritable Shiro Inaba smashed a table in a row, kicked over two office desks, tore up three urgent telegrams from Shigeichi Hatata, and slapped four staff officers around him, but he couldn't explain the anger in his heart.

He tossed and turned in the spacious office, roaring like thunder, continuing the ancestors of Shigeichi Hatada.Chief of Staff Shigeta Shigetoku reminded: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Anqing is in danger now. The several captains and battalion captains of Hata Shigeichi are all broken. The Chinese people in Anqing are very powerful, and reinforcements must be sent quickly. Otherwise Anqing’s mistakes, ours are even more difficult to explain.”

Inaba Shiro had vented his anger enough, and he calmed down. He immediately ordered the chief of staff to call the Sakai detachment who was resting in Qianshan, and asked Sakai to go to Anqing quickly at all costs. take over.

At this time, the Sakai detachment had already occupied the buried hill, and was doing its best to wipe out the rest of Yang Sen's troops. It could be said that they were victorious, and they had firmly compressed tens of thousands of Yang Sen's troops in the front line of Taihu Lake and Wangjiang River. Completely annihilate the Chinese army.

Receiving Inaba Shiro's order, Sakai Tokutaro was not worried but happy, and said to Chief of Staff Nakata Kizo with a smile: "Yo Sai, Anqing, we have to go out. Nakata-kun, order the troops to assemble immediately, Go to Anqing." His mission was to capture Anqing, and it was for this reason that His Excellency, Division Chief, sent a large number of troops to his brigade and established the Sakai Detachment, and he also received orders to quickly capture Anqing.But people are not as good as heaven. After his troops set off from Hefei, they went all the way south and rushed to Anqing with all their strength. Who knew that when they attacked Tongcheng, they were stubbornly blocked by the Chinese people. Although the personnel were not damaged much, they were delayed in vain. Two days of work.When he finished clearing Tongcheng and was about to go to Anqing, he got an order from the head of the division: Anqing had been captured by the Taiwan dispatched troops, and his task was changed to attack the buried hill and clean up the remnants of the Chinese army who had escaped from Anqing.

When he received the telegram, he was a little demented.He is a proud and arrogant person. He did not capture the provincial capital of China's Anwei. Instead, he was asked to wipe it for others. He went to small towns and counties to wipe out those dilapidated remnants and defeated generals. I really can't accept it.What made him even more unacceptable was that the army that captured Anqing turned out to be the Empire's bastard troops, the Taiwan Dispatch Army.Who are those people?Although most of them are of the Yamato race, they are no longer pure-bred Yamato people after intermingling with inferior natives.What's even worse is that I heard that part of their army is still native aborigines!Losing to such an army was worse than death for a purebred Yamato man.

But Anqing was really captured by others. Although most of this was due to the credit of the Imperial Air Force and Navy, it was not he who stepped into Anqing City, but these bastards indeed!He almost vomited blood with anger at that time, but the military order was so high that he had to take the troops and turn around to those small places and beat up the remnants of the soldiers.But this tone is really hard to swallow, but it hasn't happened yet.Now he can only vent his anger on those Chinese people, so as soon as he entered the Qianshan area, he ordered the troops to attack violently, winning seven consecutive battles and crushing the large Chinese troops. Finally, I let out a little bit of evil spirit.

But compared to other people's An Qing, this little credit is really nothing?According to his mind, this sulking can only be appeased by taking down Wuhan, the second capital of China, with the strength of a detachment of his.But the Chinese army in front of them is as numerous as a cow's hair, and even if they are soft-handed, they will not be able to kill them.After several bloody battles, although he won without exception, Sakai Tokutaro's spirit was still slightly frustrated, and he felt that it seemed a bit difficult to directly attack Wuhan with his detachment.

It's all right now, the division commander's order has come. The Taiwan dispatched army who robbed him of his business has been beaten to death by the Chinese, and Anqing is almost lost. This telegram is really timely.To clean up the mess, he has to be called Tokutaro Sakai!

He was so happy that he immediately ordered the commanders above the brigade to gather at the headquarters, and began to arrange a plan to march into Anqing. He wanted to avenge his shame and restore the reputation of the famous general!
