But Gentaro Kodama's judgment was: "The enemy will not land in the Liaoxi Corridor for the time being, cutting off our rear route, and we still have a chance to retreat and leave here......"

Several Japanese generals were very suspicious, and at the same time felt that this was an excellent opportunity: "Why doesn't the enemy cut off our retreat now?" ”

"That's because you don't want us to smash their pots and jars here!"

"How do you know this?"

"First, the Huaxia Army did not directly land in the Liaoxi Corridor after the Battle of Weihai, but launched an attack on the Shanhaiguan side, which was clearly intended to force us to go; Second, we landed in Lushun, but did not quickly attack northward, and so far there has been no news of an attack on Jinzhou, Gaizhou, and Fuzhou, which shows that the Huaxia Army has no intention of cutting off our retreat now! ”

The generals of the Japanese army are all experienced in battle, and they have a broad vision and quick thinking, and their ability is indeed very strong, and Kodama Gentaro said that they all feel that this is very reasonable.

Nogi Noshinori stomped his feet and shouted, "This is what the enemy wants to force us to do, and we just don't do what he wants!" ”

Lieutenant General Katsura Taro, commander of the Third Army of the Wakuni Kingdom, interrupted Nogi Noshinori's words: "You don't want to retreat, so where else can you go?" What else can be done? ”

"We can continue to fight with the enemy, and collect food and baggage on the spot, replenish the army, and continue to maneuver!"

"Hmph, the food can be used to the enemy, but what about the ammunition, how can the ammunition be replenished? Without ammunition replenishment, do you fight the enemy empty-handed, or do you rely on cold weapons to fight? ”

After hearing this, the arrogant Nogi Noshinori bowed his head and was speechless.

Katsura Taro paused for a moment and continued: "Hundreds of thousands of warriors of the Yamato nation should fight for the interests of the Yamato nation, but now staying on the continent of China, there is only one way to die, and that is just a sacrifice in vain, rather than this, it is better to take them back to the Goryeo Peninsula." It was closer to the Great Wa Empire, and although we didn't have the Combined Fleet, we could still try to smuggle back to the nearest place, or we could hold on to the Goryeo Peninsula. Fight to protect the Great Wa Empire! ”

Seeing that none of the generals spoke, Katsura Taro proposed: "More importantly, we can retreat to the Goryeo Peninsula, and maybe we can connect with the mainland of the Great Wa Empire and win some assistance." As long as the Goryeo Peninsula is held, there is still a good chance of enlisting the support of the European powers......"

In another time and space, this Katsura Taro is not only a soldier who is in the vanguard of the invasion of China, but also has formed a cabinet three times to serve as the prime minister, which can be described as a general, and he is very politically set, he glanced at the commander-in-chief Yama Prefecture Youpeng, and saw that he had a permissive look, so he continued:

“…… Now this Chinese Empire looks extremely powerful. Defeated the Dutch, the Spaniards, and the United States, and they were about to use the Pacific Ocean as an inland lake, but they offended the entire white world, although France, England, Oros, Germany and other powerful countries have not suffered the losses caused by them, but they are already secretly afraid of them, and they will definitely not let this large empire with a population of more than 400 million people be so hegemonic. This will be our perfect opportunity to turn defeat into victory! ”

Nogi Noshinori was very unconvinced, and he was still very reluctant: "In that case, we can only retreat to the Goryeo Peninsula!" ”

"Now in front of the 500,000 troops of the imperial army, we can only wait for change so hard!"

A chill pierced through the spine, and the generals of the Japanese army were born: the enemy had expected all this. Even if you know the enemy's intentions, you still have to act according to his intentions, what kind of terrible helplessness is this?

However, none of these cowhide coaxing generals of the Wa Kingdom refused to withdraw willingly and obediently, and they all thought about how to leave a deep memory for the Huaxia Army.

At this time. A strange roar of machinery was heard in the air to the southwest.

When Gentaro Kodama heard this voice, his face changed dramatically: "Airship, the enemy's airship is coming!" ”

Although the Japanese army has already made targeted research on the Chinese army, which is famous all over the world, and has put forward some ways to deal with it, not everyone can accept this object that has never been seen before, and many Japanese soldiers saw the group of airships covering the sky and the sun in the southwest, and many people stood in the middle of the road, staring at the air in amazement, at a loss.

"The enemy's airship is definitely coming to drop bombs, hurry up and disperse and hide!" Gentaro Kodama shouted, grabbed Yamaguchi Yutomo's arm, and ran into a nearby wood.

When the generals of the Japanese army saw that the commander-in-chief had fled, they scattered in a hurry and went to find a hiding place on their own.

Only Nogi Noshinori, known as the fiercest general of the Japanese army, was still standing there, drawing his command knife, pointing majestically at the sky, and ordering the surrounding soldiers: "Immediately launch a volley of guns into the air to repel the enemy's airship!" ”

It turned out that the brigade that passed through here at this time happened to be the troops of Nogi Noshinori's Second Division, and he wanted to pretend to be a pretend, and secondly, he was really unconvinced in his heart, and he had to compete with the air fleet of the Huaxia Army.

When dozens of Chinese army airships flew into the air, instead of hiding, the Japanese troops on the ground formed a neat formation on the ground and launched a platoon of guns in the air, and countless bullets rushed in the direction of the airship, and a large puff of smoke rose on the ground.

"Aha, these Japanese soldiers are really not afraid of death!" Seeing this, the commander of the airship group immediately gave an order to all the airships by radio: "Immediately increase the altitude, get out of the range of the enemy's rifle bullets, and drop bombs on the enemy's dense crowd!" ”

In the sound of bombs whizzing from the sky, many Japanese soldiers were so frightened that their legs went limp, but Nogi Noshinori shouted slogans and forced the soldiers to continue to reload and shoot.

Dense bombs fell from the sky, and before they exploded, they smashed many Japanese soldiers to bloody pieces.

Countless flashes of light lit up, followed by a rumbling wave of explosions that shot up into the sky, overturning and flying countless Japanese soldiers, and the stump of the human body fell like a torrential rain.

The rumbling explosions were mixed with earth-shattering screams.

Nogi Noshinori finally saw how **, armed with bushido, collided with steel.

"Ah......h

Seeing such a powerful bombardment hidden in the woods, the generals of the Wa Kingdom finally understood in their hearts why the Fifth Army and the Combined Fleet were all wiped out, and they thought to themselves: Even if they command the Fifth Army to fight in Weihai, they will be completely wiped out, and they will not even be able to run like Kodama Gentaro!
