Chapter 173: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell



c_t; Nogi Noshinori was the only one among the senior officers who was not injured, because he ran to command the Japanese army to encircle and suppress the blue wolf early in the morning, so he narrowly escaped.

He rushed into the tent angrily, saw that he was treating his colleagues, and said angrily: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I request that the Qing army's position be attacked overnight, and they must be made to pay a sufficient price!" ”

Kuroki Weizhen's face was gloomy, and he said after a long time: "Forget it, the generals of the Qing army are too cunning, we are still cautious, this time the Qing army attacked at night, it seems that they still maintain a certain combat effectiveness, if they attack now, the enemy is dark and I am clear, once we encounter tricks, we will lose more than we gain, these three days, our losses are big enough, we can't suffer such heavy losses." ”

Nogi Noshinori had to hit his fist hatefully, and said hatefully: "It's cheaper for this group of China pigs!" Let them live one more night! ”

The blue wolves completed the task of harassing and successfully withdrew the Qing army's position, and when they withdrew, they found that Xu Huaijin had not retreated, and dozens of people around him surrounded him here, waiting for the return of the blue wolf.

Zhang Enyuan exclaimed, "My lord, why haven't you retreated yet, most of the brothers here have already left, you are still staying here, he is in danger!" ”

Xu Huaijin smiled faintly and replied, "Why, do you think the Japanese army can easily keep your captain?" ”

Zhang Enyuan said helplessly: "Captain, of course we know your ability, but it's too dangerous to stay here, and the Japanese army may attack at any time." ”

Xu Huaijin smiled: "It's okay, I can't let go if I don't watch you come back, how is this mission completed?" ”

Zhang Enyuan replied: "The mission was successfully completed, the Japanese army was originally heavily defended, we did not rush in, in desperation, we were divided into two combat groups, and I led a few people to create chaos on the Japanese position to attract the attention of the Japanese army." Qingyou sneaked in quietly with a few people, and took advantage of the chaos to attack a group of officers of the Japanese army, estimated that the casualties were not small, and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. It's just that when the Japanese army was besieging us, they used more than a dozen heavy machine guns and powerful firepower. It was we who couldn't move, if it weren't for Keiyou's successful attack on Kuroki and the others. I'm afraid it's hard for us to come back. Even so, two of our brothers died there and did not return......"

Xu Huaijin's face darkened, and his heart was sad, the blue wolves who came over this time were all old brothers in the camp, and the elite of the elite all grew up with Xu Huaijin, and everyone was very emotional, and now two more people left him. The heart is naturally dark.

Meng Qingyou said: "My lord, since we have all returned, you should quickly withdraw first, we will naturally be able to deal with it if we stay here, and you still have to catch up with the main force and command them to arrange the defense of the fort." ”

Xu Huaijin nodded and said, "Okay." Then I will withdraw first, you must be careful, if it is difficult to hold on, then introduce the mountains and forests, preserve your strength, and do not sacrifice your brothers. ( ) Brothers, please......"

The blue wolves signaled, and Xu Huaijin turned his head and led the team to evacuate the position and chase the main force.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Nogi Noshinori gathered more than 1,000 men and launched a general attack on the position again, under the cover of artillery fire and heavy machine guns. easily rushed to the last position of the Qing army.

I didn't want the Qing army to be empty, leaving only an empty position that was blown to pieces.

"Ahh Nogi Noshinori looked at the empty position and roared loudly, this group of Qing troops was so cunning that they fled directly after the sneak attack last night, and they didn't even leave a chance for him to vent their hatred!

Nogi Noshinori said hatefully: "The position has been taken, the Qing army has fled, and I will immediately report to His Excellency the division commander and ask for the next plan of action!" ”

Not long later, Kuroki Weizhen led the main force to the position of the Qing army. Kuroki Weizhen looked at the empty position of the Qing army, sighed, and said: "I didn't expect that in addition to the Chinese tiger, there are such outstanding talents in the Great Qing Kingdom, with only two or three thousand people, they can stop our army for more than three days, and our emperor ** people despise China without people!" ”

Nogi Noshinori asked, "Your Excellency the division commander, what is our plan for the next step?" ”

Kuroki replied: "We need to take a break for a while, almost all the senior officers are wounded, and there are three jade fragments, and a few are seriously injured, which is extremely unfavorable to our operational command, and we have experienced several major battles, and we are running out of ammunition, which is the most difficult problem." ”

Tomioka replied: "Your Excellency the division commander, the problem of ammunition you mentioned really puts us under pressure, without ammunition, it is really difficult for us to carry out a large-scale battle. Therefore, Your Excellency the Division Commander, I ask for your consent to leave the team, lead the cavalry wing, capture the two cities, replenish our ammunition, weapons, and provisions, and it just so happens that you and the main force of the division can also take this opportunity to rest a little, what do you think? ”

Kuroki Weizhen's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Fu Gangjun, what you said is very reasonable, what we need is to feed the war with war, although your cavalry wing is only a few hundred people, but there is no problem in attacking ordinary cities, according to the information provided by the imperial spies." There is a huge arsenal in Jimo, there are not many defenders, you can rush to Jimo immediately, capture the Qing army's mansion, take all the weapons and ammunition there, and bring back as much food as possible! ”

Fu Gang Tianyou lowered his head and shouted, "Haiyi! Immediately, the rectification of the cavalry wing went straight to Jimo!

In the Southern Gang Fort, Xu Huaijin marched overnight without making the slightest stop, and finally rushed back to the fort camp when it was close to noon the next day.

Now the troops he brought back and the remaining troops of the fort are less than 1,000 people, and such a small number of troops is really difficult to resist the Japanese army's attack again.

Xu Huaijin saw Zhang Peilun and asked dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Youqiao, I once told you that I can hold on to Motianling for three days, please call Yuan Xiangcheng immediately and ask him to send troops to help, what?" He hasn't reached the Southern Gang Battery yet! ”

Zhang Peilun smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Ziyuxian, you listen to me slowly." I have good news and bad news here. The good news is that Lord Zhongtang has called me that the imperial court has removed Li Bingheng from the post of governor of Shandong, and that Li Bingheng's more than 6,000 troops are temporarily under your command, and Lord Zhongtang has called to Weifang and ordered the rest of Li Bingheng's troops to rush to Weihai and join you, I think at most five or six days can reach Weihai; In addition, Lord Dong Fuxiang was ordered to lead 10,000 Gan troops to Shandong, and now they have crossed the border of Texas and are approaching Liaocheng. The bad news is ...... The day before yesterday, a Japanese army of about 8,000 people, landed near Yantai, Yuan Shikai was not well prepared, so that the Japanese army landed at night, and then started a bitter battle with the Japanese army, and now it is still facing off in Yantai, Yuan Shikai's troops are close to 10,000, just able to withstand the attack of the Japanese army, and it is difficult to draw out any troops...... The situation is worrying. ”

"Ahh Xu Huaijin was shocked, another Japanese army landed in Shandong, now there are good days, more than 20,000 Japanese troops, how can they easily resist! (To be continued.)
