Chapter 747: Heavy Blow

The headquarters of the main peak of Niuxin Mountain in western Liaoning, Tang Qiuli saw that the vanguard of the southbound troops of the Kwantung Army was approaching the ambush site, and finally came, although it was more than three hours later than he estimated, according to the marching speed of the Japanese army, it would take at least more than four hours to enter the ambush circle, he was vaguely worried, seeing that the sun was about to set, if the Kwantung Army followed the practice of not marching at night, the troops would have to be ambushed overnight, which made him even more worried about what happened.

The vanguard of the Kwantung Army, which was already close to the ambush circle, suddenly stopped in place, what is going on, could it be that the ambush troops were violent, and they were discovered by the Japanese army, but it is not like it? The Japanese soldiers did not take tactical actions at all, or made preparations for battle, but just stayed in place, and the unexpected situation made the atmosphere in the headquarters suddenly heavy, and the staff officers secretly scolded: "What kind of fame is the little devil doing? ”

Lieutenant General Otozaburo Yano, commander of the southward movement of the Kwantung Army, was indeed an extremely cautious commander, unlike many high-ranking generals of the Kwantung Army, who had no arrogance in their eyes, although along the way, they kept receiving reports from aerial reconnaissance planes, and no abnormal situation was found, and no large-scale Chinese troops were found.

This made Yano's heart more and more uneasy, according to the convention, more than 200,000 independent division troops were on the way to the front line of Shanhaiguan retreat at this time, and now, there was not even a single figure, and they disappeared without a trace all of a sudden, including the independent division troops who fought with their own troops in the morning, where did they go?

There is a report from the troops, this branch of the army, retreating to the north, remember to ask for instructions, whether to send troops to pursue, was categorically vetoed by themselves, to the north? It was Nurur Tiger Mountain, which stretched for hundreds of miles, and the troops of the Independent Division, if they didn't stop themselves in front, what were they doing in the mountains? These cunning people will never make the emperor understand.

Yano's Otozaburo was beating a drum in his heart, while racking his brains to ponder a series of abnormal phenomena, the car was dangling on the road, his heart was also up and down, and he couldn't find the opponent The most terrible, the staff officer sent a report from the avant-garde troops, it was close to the Niuxin Mountains, everything was normal, and the troops were preparing to pass.

Yano Otozaburo seemed to have been stung by a bee, sat up straight suddenly, hit his head on the roof of the car, "bang", the movement was so loud that the driver's heart trembled, and on the head of His Excellency the commander, the bag the size of a goose egg could not run, and he was worried about being slapped in the face, but he saw that Yano Otozaburo didn't look at him, and ordered the staff officer loudly: "Yaga, go and convey my order, all troops, stop advancing immediately!" ”

Yano Otozaburo found the reason why he was nervous and worried all the way, that is, Niuxin Mountain, Itagaki Seishiro Division, it was here, Tang Qiu, who was known as the devil of China, set up an ambush, and the whole army wiped out more than 50,000 soldiers, all the jade was shattered, and no one survived, the commander of the Itagaki Division died on the spot, and the Itagaki Division, known as the most elite unit of the Kwantung Army, disappeared and ceased to exist.

At that time, Yano Otozaburo was just an ordinary staff officer of the General Staff of the Kwantung Army, he carefully studied the reasons for the fall of the Itagaki Division, and finally, came to his own conclusion, everything stemmed from the commander of the Itagaki Division's improper command, arrogance, and rash attack on the enemy, only to fall into Tang Qiuli's ambush, this word, he can only bury it in his heart, at that time, Itagaki Seishiro, after his death, did his best to do his honor, and received a commendation order personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor, and the base camp also called the hero of the Yamato nation, the immortal god of war.

Of course, Yano Otozaburo sneered at these in his heart, but he was just a martial artist, and now, it was his turn to command the soldiers of the Imperial Army, passing by here, could he repeat the mistakes of the Itagaki Division? The undulating hills in front of you are like dark castles, winding roads, like a noose, and it is unlucky to look at.

The troops of the Kwantung Army stayed for more than half an hour on the periphery of the Niuxin Mountain ambush circle, Tang Qiu was centrifuged in his throat, Yano Otozaburo was very troubled, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, more than 300,000 troops, camping in the wilderness, were not safe, plus the generals called one after another for instructions, asking for a quick passage through the Niuxin Mountain and near the mountain customs.

Yano Otozaburo finally made up his mind, and the troops passed through the Niuxin Mountains overnight, however, he did not make any mistakes, and sent a wing of troops, by car, into the Niuxin Mountain, and after an interval of half an hour, he sent another wing of troops to enter, and went in the same way, Tang Qiuli watched thousands of Japanese soldiers enter the ambush circle, but the brigade stayed outside, and the car drove away, leaving a trail of dust.

It's time for this time, right? The second batch of Japanese cars also entered the ambush circle, the brigade still did not move, Tang Qiuli watched the Japanese cars go away, and secretly scolded the commander of the Kwantung Army, what a cunning guy, however, I have patience, these little shrimps have not yet taken a fancy to it, the past two batches of Japanese troops, there are more than 6,000 people, Tang Qiuli realized that things are a little troublesome, these Japanese troops, after the ambush war, turned back and bit over, and it was a great threat to the troops who were ambushed head-on.

He had no choice but to give an order, the right flank ambush troops, draw out a brigade of troops, covertly follow these two groups of Japanese troops, must not be violent targets, after the main battlefield started, all annihilated, I thought that the Japanese brigade was coming, who knows, it is another team of cars, there are still so many troops, the interval is still thirty minutes, so calculated, the Kwantung Army brigade entered the ambush circle, these three groups of Japanese troops happened to be out of the ambush circle, this is the strength of a brigade, more than 10,000 people, this is a large force, placed in other battlefields, can sweep more than a dozen counties, Most of the provinces.

Tang Qiuli was almost crazy, he couldn't wait to strangle the commander of the Kwantung Army to death, there was no such fun, what kind of bird is this, more cunning than a fox, he has become a fine, not only Tang Qiuli thinks like this, but more than 200,000 soldiers of the independent division are also scolding in his heart, Yano Otozaburo received a report from the first batch of troops, and he has left the most dangerous area of Niuxin Mountain, and nothing has happened.

On his face, a fox-like smile finally appeared, three temptations, no matter how cunning the opponent is, he should also come out, moreover, once the brigade is still ambushed, the strength of a brigade will turn around and attack, and any ambush circle can be broken, proud, really proud, Yano Otozaburo believes that this dangerous mountain march, his own command art, can be included in the Imperial Army University classic course, for those juniors to follow.

But he ignored one point, the time, nearly two hours before and after, the sky had already darkened, and when his main force passed through the Niuxin Mountains, it was late at night, and it was more conducive to the ambusher's action, especially in the suitable place for ambush, the troops who were suddenly attacked were extremely easy to fall into a mixed state, and the communication and command were not smooth.

The officers of the Japanese troops who received the order to continue advancing, while cursing the coward commander and letting them suffer the wind on the mountain road for two hours in vain, urged the soldiers, "Hurry up, hurry up and get out of the way!" Countless Japanese soldiers, Huang Whir and a turbid wave rushed over, the sound of car motors and horns, and the footsteps of soldiers resounded in the valley in a disorderly manner.

Tang Qiuli sat on the shell box almost paralyzed, after several years of fighting, he had never encountered such a cunning and cautious Japanese commander, if he had the opportunity to be captured alive, he must personally interrogate whether this guy who almost tortured himself crazy had a better head than the other No. 1.

At more than 11 o'clock in the evening, all the Japanese troops entered the ambush circle, Tang Qiuli first gave an order to the air force, all fighters, immediately take off to participate in the battle, and then, to the communications staff officers who were guarding dozens of telephones: "Let's start!" In the dark night sky, on the hills on both sides of the road that stretches for more than 30 kilometers, countless red signal flares suddenly rose, like small suns, reflecting half of the sky, and the festival flowers were as gorgeous and dazzling.

The light of the signal flare has not dimmed away, behind the hillside in the distance, suddenly rose a piece of smoke clouds, in the sky, passing through the bright spots like meteor showers, row by row, dragging the dark red tail flame, from far and near, with a piercing scream, in an instant came to the top of the head of the Japanese soldiers, experienced Japanese veterans, the face of the "swish" became miserable, my Amaterasu, this is thousands of artillery pieces, at this time, the thunderous sound, only then echoed between the peaks, the earth trembled.

The battle line of more than 60 miles of Niuxin Mountain, in an instant, as if activated by the current, burst out of blazing flames, first a cluster of firelight, in the firelight, you can clearly see clusters of soil waves, like mushrooms, constantly rising, and then, it is a row, a piece, later, it is impossible to distinguish the number, the soil rolls over, the gravel flies sideways, the rising gunpowder smoke rises into the night sky, is reflected in the dark red by the explosion of firelight, in the sky, countless flying cannonballs, plunged into the earth that has been like molten iron.

As soon as he attacked, Tang Qiuli concentrated all the artillery on both sides of the ambush position of more than 30 kilometers, and even the anti-aircraft artillery of the air defense brigade was temporarily ordered to be flat, and thousands of artillery pieces were sent to the dense marching formation of the Kwantung Army.

The Japanese soldiers who were suddenly shelled immediately fell into chaos, the night sky was red by the explosion of death, they wanted to return fire, on the slopes on both sides, there was no target to aim, only shells flying continuously in the distance, after 20 minutes of shelling, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army who passed through the initial mixture, their bodies were covered with the blood and limb fragments of their comrades, and despite the heavy casualties, they still found a relatively safe place to hide from the shells flying in the sky.

Countless signal flares rose in the night sky, emitting a miserable light, and behind the silent hillsides, cliffs, rocks, and trees on both sides, countless small round black dots flew in, and crow-like instantly fell on the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and the infantrymen in ambush shot again.
