c_t; Now Yamada Yu is completely desperate, it's over, it's completely over, there is no hope at all, if the Chinese Revolutionary Army is also infantry, there is still the possibility of being able to escape, but now they are cavalry, and the strength is not 10,000 people, such a huge cavalry, sweeping away their thousands of remnants of the defeated general, it is simply easy!

If before the arrival of the self-propelled artillery battalion, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army still had a trace of survival, then now it is completely broken, even almost all the artillery of the artillery wing has been lost, and people now have at least more than 100 artillery pieces concentrated at the bottom of the mountain! How can he just defend this small mountain, how can he resist the opponent's strong attack?

Yamada Yu said astringently: "Come, immediately send a telegram to Kodama Jun, our department was besieged by the cavalry division and artillery regiment of the Chinese Revolutionary Army in Lingxiu Mountain, suffered heavy losses, and was trapped in the lonely mountain, Yamada is ashamed of his trust, and the only death is to repay His Majesty!" ”

Pyongyang, Kodama Gentaro had already retreated from Sinuiju at this time, had just arrived in Pyongyang, and the army was reorganized in an attempt to advance to the south!

At this time, the staff officer rushed in in and said urgently: "Your Excellency Commander, General Yamada Yu of the 10th Division has sent a telegram!" ”

Gentaro Kodama was shocked and shouted, "Read! ”

The staff officer read the telegram again, Kodama Gentaro stood in place in a daze, and did not speak for a long time, and the staff officer on the side was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Commander?" ”

The staff officer shouted several times in a row, and Gentaro Kodama woke up, his chest straightened, a mouthful of blood spit out, and his body slowly fell backwards!

The staff officer was frightened, and hurriedly rushed over, grabbed Kodama Gentaro, and shouted: "Someone, someone, quickly pass on the military doctor reads;!" Your Excellency the Commander fainted! ”

At this time, Kodama Gentaro was sore and weak, and all his strength seemed to be taken away by something at once. There is no life left!

It is no wonder that since Kodama Gentaro presided over the military affairs of the three eastern provinces, in less than half a year now, the Japanese army has lost five divisions of elite troops! Five divisions! The Great Japanese Empire only had a total of only 20 divisions, and it lost a quarter of its elite at once, how could this be worthy of His Majesty the Emperor and the trust of the commanders of the military department?

It was at this time. Watanabe, the chief of staff, together with a group of military doctors, hurriedly rushed into the headquarters. Several military doctors were scrambling to diagnose Gentaro Kodama, and Watanabe asked on the side, "Kodama kun, Kodama kun, what's wrong?" ”

Gentaro Kodama sighed bitterly, handed the telegram to Watanabe with trembling hands, and said astringently: "Watanabe-kun, it's over, the tenth division is over!" “

Watanabe read the telegram in his hand while reading it. Dumbfounded and speechless, the 10th Division is indeed finished. This Yamada Yu has always regarded himself very highly, and he has no one in his eyes, and he will only say such things when he is dead and alive, and when the 10th Division is gone, the strength of the entire Korean army will be less than 80,000. There is no longer an advantage in troops, at most it is evenly matched, with the strong firepower advantage of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, the prospects of the whole of Korea are already extremely bleak, no wonder Kodama Gentaro is so anxious that he vomits blood!

Watanabe asked, "Kodamama-kun, where are the 17th and 18th Divisions now?" Can you go to the rescue area of Lingxiu Mountain under the stars? ”

Kodama Gentaro shook his head and said, "It's useless, now the two divisions are still stuck north of Kaesong, and they are more than two hundred miles away from Ling Xiushan!" It will take at least a day and a half to arrive, but I am afraid that when we reach Ling Xiu Mountain, the battle is already over. If you don't make it happen, these two divisions will be in great danger if they are attacked far away......"

Watanabe looked helpless, and said astringently: "It's a step late, last night, the ambush encountered by the 10th Division, if our telegram had been sent earlier, maybe it could have been reversed, and the chess was a bad move!" ”

Hearing this, Gentaro Kodama coughed sharply again, obviously in a hurry, and his chest shook out.

Kodama Gentaro said astringently: "We can't wait, we must be prepared with both hands, order the Changshan Brigade to strictly guard Linqing Port, once things are not harmonious, we must lead the army to withdraw from Linqing Port to the mainland, we must reserve some more strength for the empire, our elite has been almost consumed, in the hard fight, I am afraid that the force of the twenty divisions of the empire will be exhausted; Ordering the four divisions to approach to the south, with a distance of no more than 30 miles, to meet each other, and fight to the death with Xu Huaijin's troops in the vicinity of Busan and Seoul, this is our last chance! ”

Watanabe replied: "Kodamama-kun, we must send a telegram to the Imperial Ministry to report the war situation in Korea, and ask the military department to send a fleet to stop at Linqing Port, otherwise, even if we occupy Linqing Port, we don't have enough ships, and we can't safely return to the mainland ......."

Gentaro Kodama nodded, struggled to sit up, and said: "Yes, I will bear this matter with all my might, Watanabe-kun, the safety of the future empire, I'm afraid it will depend on you......"

Ling Xiushan.

At this time, it was already late at night, and after a day and two nights of fighting, the remnants of the 10th Division were now less than 5,000 people, and the most serious thing was that after the fiasco, the Japanese army gave up almost all their baggage in order to climb the mountain, except for rations and ammunition, all heavy weapons and food were discarded.

Nowadays, the Japanese army is no longer a tragic word can be described, starvation is secondary, in the war, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, where is the water source on this dirt mountain, there is no water, it is equivalent to no life, the Japanese army has been hungry and thirsty and a little in a trance, now it is the late autumn season, the weather is gradually cold and dry, the Japanese army is lying on the dirt mountain, and even has no strength to move.

Yamada Yu looked at the soldiers of the whole army, and felt miserable, it was all his own momentary mistake, which caused more than 10,000 elites to die here, and his own is the sinner of the empire!

Yamada Yu has thought of all the methods, and none of them can make the remnants of the army escape, tomorrow, if the revolutionary army continues to attack tomorrow morning, I am afraid that within an hour or two, the remaining thousands of people will all have to be shattered!

Yamada Yu let out a long sigh, called the chief of staff Yushu Longsu over, and said in a deep voice: "Yushu-kun, now the fall of the Tenth Division is inevitable, but all these thousands of imperial warriors have died here What is the benefit of the battle situation, this defeat is related to the mistakes of my leadership, naturally I want to die to thank Your Majesty, but you, you must survive, lead these thousands of warriors to survive, the empire can no longer withstand such a loss!" ”

Yushu Longsu was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Yamada-kun, what are you doing here?" When did the Great Japanese Empire have warriors who surrendered? Only to die in battle! ”(。 If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
