139. Kogamikyo and Panlongling
Motegi rushed back to the camp from Okyo, and Shintaro Umei then reported to him: "General Motegi, Ono Taro Osaku said that the reconnaissance team they sent found the defenders in the area of Fushigou. They saw from a distance that there was a small group of defenders moving in the ditch of the house...... "Motegi listened to him for a long time, and then his consciousness was withdrawn from Kogamikyo and said, "Yaxi, they found the defenders? What kind of defenders, not the same as the 117 brigade? Umei said: "The scout team said that it looked like a Mongolian civilian, but there were guns in their hands...... Motegi said: "Ryshi, it's those red elements who are playing tricks again." According to the investigation of the Special High Division, the red elements in the defenders had developed an armed force in the north of the Rehe River to attack the transportation lines of the imperial army, and their conscience was greatly damaged. Order Ono Taro to pay close attention to the movement of the room body ditch......"
Motegi, Umei and the rest of the headquarters returned to the tent of the headquarters, and he said with a heavy heart: "Kogamikyo is a veritable Kogamikyo in the name, and the contents are so exquisite, and I have also discovered a secret, the descendants of ceramic craftsmen have been working together to regenerate jellyfish bottles that are the same as those of the past, until now." But those craftsmen have now added a lot of ingredients, and I think there are people from the 117th Brigade among them. He was so excited that Shintaro Umei didn't hear clearly, so he asked, "General, do you mean that you saw with your own eyes that the people there were busy processing?" ……”
Motegi was asked by him, and he didn't understand, those people didn't seem to care about their imperial army at all, and they were busy. He secretly felt that the way people looked at them was the same as when they looked at the army of the Jin Dynasty, and even reminded them not to try to rob the jellyfish bottle. The army of the Jin Dynasty was full of evil camps by robbing things. Motegi was a little overwhelmed, and he asked himself why I came to Shina?
Later, he saw that the personnel of the headquarters were busy, some were in contact with the various departments outside, to learn about the military situation, and most of them were making war plans for the battle that was about to begin. Compared with. He's like an outsider. At this time, the adjutant Captain Tsueta stepped forward and saluted and said: "General Motegi, the latest situation, the 117th Brigade has also been discovered in the Nanpanlongling (Huilongling) of Monkey Head Gou, if they are found in both places, which one will the imperial army attack first?" Motegi seemed to wake up and said in a panic: "The 117th Brigade fought against the Imperial Army, and repeatedly attacked the east and the west, and the situation here has changed again, and we must pay great attention to it." Monkey Head Ditch is only a valley away from Fangshenling Ditch, and the 117th Brigade must have set up a virtual force here, and the main force fled to the Panlong Ridge area. ”
Speaking of this, he felt his mission, and he remembered that His Majesty the Emperor had sent these iron-blooded soldiers to China to conquer the people here, and his thoughts just now were a bit of a loss to the Emperor. It seems that foreign cultures are quite terrible for conquerors like them. He was almost conquered by them, and the situation is contemplative. He had no choice but to put aside Xiao Shangjing's thoughts, and instead said to Mei Jing: "Inform all wings and direct commanders to come to the meeting, Monkey Head Gou is the decisive battle place between my Fourth Brigade and the 117th Brigade." Panlongling, I want to see, the 117th Brigade, what tricks do you have to play? ”
At one o'clock, the 13th Wing Captain Ono Taro Osa, the 17th Wing Captain Yamaoka Kiyoshi Osa, and the 7th Wing Captain Kameda Wusuke Osa, as well as the Lushun Heavy Artillery Brigade Captain Oni Beta Taro Osa, and the captains of the directly subordinate units, arrived on horseback. After entering the war room, a circle of people sat or stood in front of the map. Ono Yataro deliberately stood in front of Motegi and gave him a rough report on the situation of the defenders in the ditch. Motegi said: "Commanders of the empire, warriors of the Fourth Brigade, the 117th Brigade must have set a trap for us in Monkey Head Gou Village, and the Panlong Ridge in the south and the Fangshen Ridge in the north are all showing their form to me, how do you think we fight?" ”
Seeing that no one was talking, Oni Beta Taro Osa said to Umei, "They have set up positions on both the north and south sides, and it can be seen that they don't take our Fourth Brigade seriously. Since we are underestimated in this way, our Lushun Heavy Artillery Brigade will not let them go, and wherever the 117th Brigade is fighting, we will greatly suppress it. However, Panlong Ridge, the mountain is a bit high......"
Ono Yataro said: "I think the 117th Brigade is a fake in the Fangshengou formation, their main force may be in the Panlong Ridge area, we can pour its main force to Panlong Ridge to fight with it...... Motegi was very happy to hear this, and said: "Ono-kun, you have a great strategy, Panlong Ridge is the place where our department and the 117th Brigade will compete ......" Yamaoka Jie Dasa also said: "General, the 117 Brigade has fought against the imperial army many times, and there is no time that it is not full of tricks, never staring at one place to make a fuss, we must pay great attention to ......"
Tengtian Jin Shaozuo, a squadron directly under him, said: "General, do you want to send some people to the village of Houtougou to take a look and reconnoitre, so as not to give us a false shot from the 117th Brigade." After all, they are familiar with the terrain, and the monkey's head ditch is different from the Gudu River, in the Gudu River, they are also unstable, so they attract us to the distance; As for the monkey's head ditch, they have all driven there on the night of the 4th and until the 5th, and they are already very familiar with the terrain there, so we also need to know more about it......"
As soon as Tengtian mentioned the ancient capital river, some people didn't like to hear it, one was Motegi, and Kameda was helpless. Who wants to mention their sad place. Motegi suddenly thought that the Gudu River, the tomb roof beam, and the birch ditch were all tactical issues, and he could sit down and summarize them in the future, and he would go to Commander Okamura Ninji to ask for sanctions regarding the mistakes. At this time, it is understandable that subordinates have opinions on this matter, after all, so many warriors of the imperial army have been wiped out by the defenders.
Thinking of this, the roots of Motegi's teeth itched, and he said: "What Tengtian-kun said makes sense, the root of the 117th Brigade's victory over us is that he is more familiar with the terrain than us. He turned to Qinggu Jianxiong and said: "Qinggujun, I know, your special high class and brigade investigators have not been idle in the past few days, but there is a problem to pay attention to, the 117 brigade commander is in a good relationship with the fellow countrymen, and the red elements are the best at mobilizing the fellow countrymen, how many of the things you have detected in Houtougou are true?" Faced with Motegi's questioning, Aoguma was unable to defend himself.
Seeing that no one was talking anymore, Motegi said: "I ordered the 13th Wing to move all to the area around the mouth of the Fangshengou, the first to monitor the movement of the defenders of the Fangshengou, and the second to act as the main force of the source of the force, echoing with the various departments. You can send a small force to reconnoiter the ditch in the house...... "Ono Tataro stood up, saluted, and shouted "Hai". With his entourage, he went out of the tent.
Motegi said again: "Yamaoka-kun, the 17th Wing of your land is approaching the position south of Monkey's Head Ditch, so as to detect where their combat intentions are. I will send a heavy artillery brigade to support you, you land, you will lead the imperial warriors to kill the 117th Brigade to the ground......" Yamaoka Kiyoya stood up and saluted, shouted "Hai", and walked out of the tent to carry it out.
Motegi turned around and said to Kameda helplessly: "Kameda-kun, you lead the 7th Wing to Kojokyo, divide one part to protect the rear of the imperial army, and the other part is led by you to defend Kogamikyo." This little Shangjing is not simple, and it almost confused me. The 117th Brigade may have laid a trap here, you have to be very careful. If the village of Kogamikyo rushes out of the ambush, it is necessary to deal with them at all costs. ”
His last few words made everyone misty, and Umei asked, "General, you mean that there is also an ambush in this small village?" Apparently he didn't believe it. Motegi didn't explain further, and said to himself a little to himself: "Could it be that the 117th Brigade also discovered the secret of Kogamikyori?" At that time, they are likely to use jellyfish bottles to blackmail the imperial army......" He turned to Kameda helplessly and said: "You, you must be very careful, there are too many secrets in Kogamikyo, if someone uses Kogamikyo to blackmail the imperial army, you must stop them, and don't let them escape......"
Umei asked again, "General, what did you see in Kogamikyo Village?" Is it an imperial secret? When Motegi heard him ask, he simply said, "Let me tell you, I saw a real little Kamikyo, where exquisite porcelain is displayed everywhere, and each piece is a national treasure. It looked like a small village, but in front of me was a cultural site that still produced porcelain. This is not important, the most important and rare thing is that since the battle of Jinliao, the peerless boutique jellyfish bottle ......"
Everyone looked at Motegi, as if he was not a general commanding a battle, but an archaeologist describing an archaeological find. Everyone was moved by his rendering, and was happy that he had placed heavy troops near Kogamikyo. Both Umei and Kameda regretted that they did not follow Motegi to Kogamikyo to see the dazzling array of porcelain, and sighed and regretted.
Motegi was still described, and the two phones on the table kept remembering, and he and Umei were busy answering the phone, and they kept calling outside to adjust the deployment. During this period, the two kept communicating, and both focused on Panlongling, followed by Xiaoshangjing. The ministries are moving forward, and the reconnaissance range is expanding.
Motegi put down the phone and said unsatisfactorily: "If most of the 117th Brigade is wiped out in this battle, we will free up our hands and move Kogamikyo to Tokyo...... He turned back to Kameda helplessly and said, "Those craftsmen must be saved." Let those peerless treasures shine in our great Japanese Empire. Let Muto also see what an antique is. ”
At this time, Yamaoka Jie called back and said: "General Motegi, Panlong Ridge did find that the defenders were repairing fortifications, it seems that the main force of the 117 Brigade is ...... there" Motegi ended his archaeological rendering and said to Yamaoka Jie: "Keep a close watch, you must bite them this time." If there are no major changes, the attack will be launched tomorrow morning......"
