The Japanese soldiers could bear it, but Terauchi Masashi could no longer watch his troops withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army all the time, and the Japanese soldiers were slaughtered, and shouted anxiously: "Retreat, order the front-line troops to retreat immediately, and immediately evacuate the range of the artillery of the Zhina!" ”

Kamio Mitsutomi opened his mouth, just about to say what to do with the several squads that were blocked by the two battalions of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, but in the end he didn't say anything. Because he knew very well that it was unwise to pay a greater price for casualties in order to save hundreds of soldiers, and that under the fierce fire blockade of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, he might not succeed in rescuing these squads that were conducting fire reconnaissance and delaying time.

Now, these imperial warriors can only be loyal to the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, Kamio Mitsutomi sighed secretly.

After receiving the order to retreat, the Japanese front-line troops, who were suffering from the overwhelming artillery bombardment of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, hurriedly evacuated the range of the artillery of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance.

Seeing the retreat of the Japanese attacking troops, Wang Mo did not order the pursuit, because once the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army, which was inferior in strength, left the range of artillery support, it was bound to suffer a big loss.

You can't afford to buy and sell at a loss, especially if you're at a disadvantage. Therefore, Wang Mo ordered the two battalions that attacked to continue to surround and annihilate the Japanese squads. Mosquito legs are also meat, and they can weaken the advantage of the Japanese army in terms of strength.

The retreat route was blocked, and several Japanese squads that were originally just conducting reconnaissance and delaying time suddenly became outcasts, and the Chinese and Japanese armies knew very well what would happen to them.

In a desperate situation, they were still given up by their own high-ranking officers, but these Japanese officers who were brainwashed by militarism did not tremble in despair and frustration, but shouted with hideous faces: "Gentlemen, the time has come to be loyal to the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor!" Great Japanese Empire onboard! His Majesty the Emperor onboard! ”

"Great Japanese Empire onboard!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

Under the leadership of the officers, groups of Japanese soldiers shouted slogans and launched a decisive charge towards the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army, and the crazy look frightened all the recruits of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army.

"He, mother, what are you doing in a daze. Waiting for the Orientals to rush over and kill you? Shoot, shoot Lao Tzu right away! ”

The officers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army were not frightened by this Japanese army, and immediately kicked and scolded them, so that all the soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army continued to shoot at the Japanese army.

Bang-bang-bang

Dada-da-da

Fierce rifle fire and machine-gun strafing sounded again. Although the soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army were greatly inferior in shooting because they were frightened by the madness of the Japanese army, even so, the Japanese soldiers who launched a decisive charge fell under the dense bullets in pieces.

It didn't take long for these Japanese squads to be slaughtered by the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army.

"They are all true warriors of the Great Japanese Empire!" Kamio Mitsutomi watched with great sadness as those Japanese soldiers tragically launched a decisive charge towards the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance. In the end, they were slaughtered one by one.

Terauchi Masaki gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will use the blood of the ten-fold people to pay tribute to these warriors of the Great Japanese Empire!" ”

Just when the two of them were thinking about how to settle this account with the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army in the future, a communication soldier from the confidential telegraph room walked in quickly and reported: "Report, Your Excellency General, the call from the Horichi detachment is that they are less than thirty kilometers away from the county seat of Jiaoxian, and they will definitely arrive in Jiaoxian tomorrow and destroy the logistics base of the people of China in one fell swoop!" ”

Finally heard the good news, and Kamio Mitsutomi looked uplifted. said: "Call the Horichi detachment, while speeding up the march, be sure to avoid being detected by the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army, all the Zhina people encountered along the way can be killed, and you can't let the Chinese civilians warn the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army!" ”

"Shenwei-kun, are you worried that Wang Mo will lead the army back to help Jiaoxian?" Masaki Terauchi asked.

Kamio Mitsutomi nodded and said, "That's right, once Wang Mo senses that the Horinai detachment is marching towards Jiaoxian, then he will inevitably lead a part of the main force back to aid Jiaoxian." With the strength of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, if you stick to the county seat of Jiaoxian. The Horiuchi detachment may not be able to break through Jiaoxian. Even if it can be breached, it will inevitably pay an extremely heavy price for casualties. ”

Terauchi Zhengyi didn't care about this, and sneered contemptuously: "Shenwei-kun, you are too worried. The 18th Division fought a decisive battle with the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army here. Does Wang Mo dare to let the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, which is already inferior in terms of troops, divide its troops? Even if he dares, Jimo County is sixty kilometers away from Jiao County, and there is only less than a day to go, can the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army rush back? ”

It is also true that in the absence of mechanized troops, it is definitely not easy for a large army to march 60 kilometers in less than a day.

For this. Kamio Mitsutomi, who has served in the army for many years, naturally understood, and said: "It's always good to be careful, in case Wang Mo notices the Horinai detachment, it is not impossible to lead some elites back to Jiaoxian desperately." ”

"If Wang Mo really stupidly divides his troops, it will be even better, our army will just take the opportunity to annihilate the troops he left behind!" Temple Zhengyi smiled coldly, he desperately hoped that Wang Mo would divide his troops to return to Jiaoxian, so that he could annihilate the remaining Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army in one fell swoop by virtue of the absolute superiority of the Japanese army.

Kamio Mitsutomi thought about it, no matter whether Wang Mo divided his troops or not, he would definitely face a rout, so he didn't say anything more.

At present, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army has no intention of fighting a decisive battle with the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army, so after losing hundreds of reconnaissance and probing troops, it has slowly shrunk its forces, looking like it is temporarily avoiding the edge of the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army.

Seeing the performance of the Japanese army cowering, Wang Mo not only did not rejoice at the success of annihilating hundreds of Japanese soldiers, but became more and more worried.

"Commander, the Orientals are not quite right, it feels like they are deliberately delaying time, planning something in secret." Operations staff officer Liao Yan reminded Wang Modao.

Chen Shishi said excitedly: "What can be wrong, I see that these Oriental little radish heads are scared by our artillery, and they are all bear-like." Young master, according to me, why don't we attack in a big way, defeat and annihilate the Orientals, what are we going to do? ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Mo glared at Chen Shi angrily.

Although the Japanese army was in danger of running out of ammunition, it was still possible to support them in a few hard battles with the ammunition in their hands. Under such circumstances, if the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army launched an all-out attack, it would only fall into the Japanese army's crowd tactics, and Wang Mo was not sure that he would use a mere 20,000 troops to win nearly 40,000 well-trained Japanese troops.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Mo ordered: "Order, let the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade dispatch reconnaissance planes to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of all the defensive positions of the Japanese 18th Division, Lao Tzu wants to see what tricks little Japan is playing!" ”

……

Jiaoxian, Liujiapo.

One by one, the villagers of Liujiapo were pushed and shoved by the fierce Japanese soldiers and gathered in the open space at the entrance of the village, surrounded by groups of Japanese soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition.

Under the guns of the Japanese soldiers around them, the villagers of Liujiapo were all frightened, not knowing what these Oriental troops were going to do.

The men stood in front of their families, and the women held their children tightly, trying not to make them cry for fear of angering the Orientals.

Liujiapo is a very inconspicuous one of the thousands of mountain villages in Shandong, and few outsiders usually come. However, today, because three villagers fled back to the village after encountering the Japanese soldiers when they returned from the town, the Japanese army pursued Liujiapo in a big way.

Major General Fumijiro Horiuchi sat on horseback, looked down at the villagers of Liujiapo who were trembling under the guns with a contemptuous expression, and asked Yamashita Hachiro, the chief of staff of the plate, "Yamashita-kun, have you found out all the people in this village?" ”

Yamashita Hachiro bowed his head and replied, "Your Excellency General, please rest assured, the various departments have carefully searched the entire village twice, and absolutely no one has been missed!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Fumijiro Horiuchi nodded appreciatively and said, "Then let's do it, our army must rush to Jiaoxian as soon as possible, and we can't delay any longer!" ”

"Hey!" Hachiro Yamashita nodded in response, and then waved his hand at the Japanese soldiers around him.

Bang-bang-bang

Dada-da-da

Rifles and machine guns were fired at the same time, and the villagers of Liujiapo fell in a pool of blood before they could understand what was going on.

After a while, the villagers of Liujiapo, men, women and children, were brutally slaughtered by the Japanese army.

Fumijiro Horiuchi was very accustomed to such a bloody massacre, and he didn't even glance at the corpses of the villagers of Liujiapo who were stacked on top of each other, and waved his hand and ordered: "Continue to march towards Jiaoxian, and all the people you encounter along the way will be killed!" ”

What Fumijiro Horiuchi, who led the Japanese troops out of Liujiapo, did not notice was that in a bush not far from Liujiapo, a pair of eyes full of tears and hatred were staring at him.

Hiding in the bushes was Liu Zhongyan, the only survivor of Liujiapo, who was not easy to find because he was small and hiding in the bushes, and he came back from outside the village, so the Japanese soldiers did not search for him.

"Daddy...... Mother......"

After all the Japanese troops left, Liu Zhongyan rushed out and threw himself on his father's corpse and cried.

Liu Zhongyan is the only teenager in Liujiapo who goes to school in the town, and he has seen more than ordinary mountain village teenagers after all. He knew very well that if he wanted to avenge such a bloody feud, he could not help the Oriental army with just a small child.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhongyan thought of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army that was rumored to be at war with the Orientals, and believed that as long as the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army was told about this, they would definitely not let the Orientals go.

It's just that how do you tell the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance?

He is a small child, and it is not an ordinary difficulty to run to Jiaoxian alone.

In the end, Liu Zhongyan decided to ask his teacher in the town for help, so he wiped his face with tears on his face and ran in the direction of the town.

Originally, the transmission of news from the people of this era was extremely slow, and the Horiuchi detachment was barely able to keep the news of their march into Jiaoxian by massacring the Chinese civilians they encountered along the way.

However, after Liu Zhongyan brought the news of the massacre of Liu Jiapo to the township, the news of the appearance of a large number of Japanese troops in Jiaoxian County immediately spread, and the special service personnel of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army quickly reported to the blue wolf who stayed in Jiaoxian County through the channel of the special service department.
