Chapter 95: One pit at a time

And just when the lieutenant general of the army was in a bit of a mess by Liu Lang's telegram requesting war, the commander of the 4th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, Major General Mitsu Suzuki, was also caught off guard.

Originally, he was thinking about how to leave the Chinese infantry of the other side who dared to block the infantry he sent to reinforce the artillery brigade, and even if the other party was ruthless enough to break his wrist with a strong man who played with him, he would also hang all the Chinese corpses and wounded Chinese soldiers on the position that could be searched in front of the pass to export evil anger.

But he didn't expect that the Chinese didn't choose either way, but played with him even better. Leaving an elite unit to block for no more than 10 minutes, they took the initiative to retreat, perhaps knowing that they would not be able to run far with their wounded soldiers, they even set up a blocking position again on the ridge on the side of the artillery brigade's garrison to resist stubbornly.

When Kasahara Kawa reported this to him, Mitsumi Suzuki was still wondering how these Chinese dug out the trenches in less than half an hour, and when he personally arrived to observe, he found that there were more than a few hundred Chinese in Yaga.

Improvisations were set up on the other side of the mountain, and it seemed that there were at least a few hundred people.

Looking at the Chinese soldiers in the telescope who still had iron pickaxes, desperately using the last time to dig the fortifications, Suzuki Mitsu understood that this was really not the stubborn resistance of the Chinese troops in front of them, this was a premeditated attempt to fight a blocking battle.

The Chinese did not take the existing seven or eight thousand troops under his command seriously, Suzuki Mitsu was not angry, on the contrary, he was very happy.

Looking at the Chinese soldiers sweating and digging fortifications, with his battlefield experience, he certainly guessed that this extra group of Chinese may not be someone else, it is the Chinese elite who sneaked up on the artillery brigade, and they chose to establish a blocking position here naturally not for anything else, but for the Chinese soldiers who were dragged down by the wounded soldiers.

This is really a way to heaven that you don't take, and hell has no door for you to break into! Mitsu Suzuki, who looked at the battlefield through a telescope and finally figured it out, wanted to look up to the sky and smile at that moment.

The losses of the two artillery brigades were finally made up for a little by the lives of these thousand Chinese soldiers.

It's just that when I think of the topic of making up for it, Suzuki Mitsu's face is a little green.

Remember the URL mom

In fact, it was not only two artillery brigades with 24 mountain guns that were lost. finally survived until dawn, and the losses on the side of the infantry side reported by the staff officers almost made the imperial major general feel, why is it dark again?

In the dark night, the Chinese bombardment was actually untechnical. However, this kind of unskilled random bombardment shattered 289 infantry and seriously wounded 368 people, not including the more than 100 people who were killed in the internal conflict with the Manchurian Infantry Brigade, and the strength of an infantry brigade, which disappeared in this way.

Among these casualties, 18 people were crushed by the military Cao, 7 were crushed by the captain officer, and there was an unlucky Shao Zuo who was hit on the door of his head by a stone about the size of a human head that fell from the sky in the trench。。。。。。

Therefore, that army junior still rolls his eyes and pants and kicks his legs, just in that state of convulsion that makes him feel cold when he looks at it, it is better to have tea with Amaterasu as soon as possible.

This is not the end, the two half-crippled infantry brigades sent out in the dark of night fought for nearly 2 hours with the Chinese army that blocked the attack, do you think it was a joke? No fewer than six charges cost the lives of more than 400 infantry and six lieutenant officers, including two infantry squadron leaders.

To put it bluntly, in the battle of this surprise artillery brigade of the Chinese, not counting the losses of artillery, the infantry alone, there was no one and a half infantry brigades, with nearly 1200 casualties.

If we add the troops lost in the bloody battle between yesterday day and the Luowenyu Pass, almost two and a half infantry brigades will be wiped out. And his 4th Infantry Brigade has a total of two infantry wings and 6 infantry brigades, which is good, but after two days and one night of fighting, half of his men and horses are gone.

This loss alone has left him with no good fruit to eat. Maybe you don't have to wait until you return to Japan, Your Excellency Lieutenant General Nishiyichi may not be qualified to eat him raw, but what about the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Muto Nobuyoshi? Will he slash his head with a knife, or throw a knife at him so that he can apologize to His Majesty the Emperor?

This may only be known to Amaterasu.

Suzuki Mitsu, who finished the calculation, had red eyes and green face, and simply forgot the old Chinese saying: red with green, race dog fart! Perhaps, his face, which is like a dried orange peel, doesn't care about these at all, ugliness has long been the norm for him.

Fortunately, he also had an Eighth Cavalry Wing, a chariot brigade and a stupid Manchurian infantry brigade, and there were more than 8,000 men and horses, and he still maintained a strength advantage over the Chinese defenders of Luo Wenyu.

As long as you can eat these thousand Chinese soldiers and use them to hook the main force of the Chinese defenders at the pass, maybe everything can be saved.

This is the only straw for Suzuki Mitsu right now.

But the tragedy of His Excellency Major General Mitsu Suzuki, who had just grasped the straw that had just saved his life, was not over.

After he mobilized two and a half crippled infantry brigades, and even the noble cavalry of the 8th Cavalry Wing were ordered by him to dismount and enter the first-line position to assist in the defense of the Guanqian position, and a regiment of Li Shoushan's Manchurian Brigade also entered the position to ensure that the main position in front of the Guanqian was foolproof, he personally led the last infantry brigade that was still intact, as well as another infantry regiment and chariot brigade of the Manchurian Brigade, to surround the 1,000 Chinese troops who were trapped in the beasts.

As soon as he arrived, he saw the unlucky face of Kasawara River.

The original report of 400 troops in Jade Shatter was revised again, and the number became 470. Haven't the eight Ga been at war yet? Why is there another 70? The face of the Imperial Major General clearly reads, are you kidding me?

After the captain of the big Zuo wing, who also had a green face, finished his report, Suzuki Mitsu looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle speechlessly, Baga, why is it dark again?

It turned out that the Japanese infantry who gradually entered the battlefield saw the mountain artillery left by the Chinese in the valley and did not have time to destroy and take away, not to mention the excitement.

I was excited and wanted to move these treasures over to my chief to offer treasures, even if they can't be used now, they can be repaired in the future! The Chinese simply underestimated the industrial capacity of the Great Japanese Empire.

So, the first person who ran the fastest to eat crabs went to the sky like this, no, to be exact, a group, not theoretically to the sky, but physically to the sky.

The power of five shells exploding together is not like shaking the ground, but blowing up a dozen people, it's not the same as playing.

As the old Chinese saying goes: eat a trench and grow a wisdom, and if you fall there, you will get up there. But the Japanese army just liked to lie there and lay still if they fell.

The first round hit the treacherous thunder laid by Liu Lang, killing ten people on the spot and seriously injuring six or seven people, although the Japanese army did not dare to easily touch the mountain artillery within the range of vision, but then, to clean up the corpse of the colleague crawling on the ground, something happened again, just picked up his thighs and was about to drag it to the carriage, he saw that the arms began to smoke, and they were still thinking about the principle of friction and fire, and with a bang, the corpse and the person who dragged his legs exploded into a cloud of fireworks.

What's more, when a bunch of people were so frightened that they didn't even dare to step on their feet, a blown human leg fell to the ground and formed a new round of explosions, another rain of blood.

In the end, Kasahara Chuan had to order a suspension of the clearing of the battlefield here, use a small red flag to divide this large area as a minefield, and order people to carry out a creeping forward inventory of the 500 meters in front of the Chinese mountain wall position, so that the large army dared to enter.

However, the vicious arrangement of the Chinese before leaving still cost the lives of 70 Japanese infantrymen.

There are still a lot of people who were injured by the explosion, and the Japanese army has not dared to report it!

"These Chinese, all dead." The domineering president Mitsumi Suzuki puffed out his cheeks and gritted his teeth.
