Chapter 198: Ambush or Blockade

"Annihilation?" Wang Mo shook his head and said with a slight smile, "There's no need for that, I believe that as long as the Anglo-Japanese coalition forces on the Qingdao side are heavily surrounded, that Minister Zhu Erdian of the British Empire will be frightened." ”

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that the war between the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance and the Japanese army would be like this. The Anglo-Japanese coalition forces on the Qingdao side were still struggling to confront the German army, waiting for the Japanese 18th Division to clean up the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, and then go south to reinforce and conquer Qingdao in one fell swoop.

Even now, I'm afraid no one would have thought that Wang Mo would abandon the Japanese army in Jimo County and lead the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army to the south, otherwise the Anglo-Japanese coalition army on the Qingdao side would have run away like a burning ass.

It's just strange, these powers, who think highly of themselves, don't take the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army in their eyes at all, and Wang Mo sneered in his heart.

As for Wang Mo's battle plan, these officers brought out by Wang Mo have always been very convinced, and they all looked excited, as if they had seen the grand occasion when they led their troops into Qingdao.

However, at this time, Zhao Zhenhua, the combat staff officer, raised an objection and said: "Commander, I humbly think that once the Japanese army in Jimo County detects that our army is moving south, it will inevitably take the opportunity to raid our army from behind, and I am afraid that it will be very troublesome." ”

"It's nothing to be attacked by surprise, I'm afraid that the Japanese army in Jimo County will drag us on the one hand, and the Anglo-Japanese coalition forces that rule Qingdao will retreat by sea at the same time, and we won't be able to catch any of them at that time." Li Jian said very worriedly.

The Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army carried a large number of heavy weapons, and the marching speed was not much faster, and once the Anglo-Japanese Coalition troops on the Qingdao side were alert, I was afraid that they would not be able to intercept them.

Although the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy was afraid of the bombing of the Blue Eagle Flying Group, it did not dare to dock near Jiaozhou Bay. But as long as Terauchi Masashi sent a telegram to inform them, it would not be a problem to quickly rush to Laoshan Bay to pick up the nearly 10,000 British and Japanese troops in Qingdao.

If one is not good, the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, which is moving southward, will suffer heavy casualties due to the surprise attack launched by the Japanese 18th Division from behind, and will eventually be defeated by the Japanese army.

Wang Mo wrinkled his brows and thought for a while, before he said, "Since it is a dilemma. conAd1(); Then leave this choice to the Japanese. ”

Li Jian, Zhang Wei and the others looked at each other, completely unaware of what Wang Mo was talking about.

Wang Mo didn't rush to explain the doubts to Li Jian and the others, but asked the orderlies to take a map of Shandong, looked at the map and thought for a long time, and then pointed to the map and said to everyone: "Huhu Mountain, we will set up an ambush near here." If the Japanese army is in a hurry to raid our army, then they will beat him here! If the Japanese army cautiously probes, then change the ambush to block, divide the troops and march lightly, and quickly cut off the road for the Anglo-Japanese coalition to withdraw to Laoshan Bay! ”

Hear about this new combat scheme. Li Jian, Zhao Zhenhua and others all had bright eyes. Wonderful, in this way, no matter whether the Japanese army in Jimo County is desperate or not, the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army can deal with it.

"In this case, I hope that the Oriental people of Jimo County will fight for strength and come out to fight with us, just to destroy these turtle grandsons who hold the people of Jimo County hostage!" Zhang Wei said viciously.

Wang Mo didn't care what the Japanese would choose, anyway, whether it was to defeat the Japanese army in Jimo County or to encircle the Anglo-Japanese coalition army that trapped Qingdao. The Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army won the war completely.

"Alright, the order, the departments will immediately withdraw from the camp. March to Qingdao! In addition, the reconnaissance troops have to be scattered to Lao Tzu, staring at the Japanese army in Jimo County, and report any movement immediately! Wang Mo ordered.

"Yes!"

The officers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army around them stood solemnly and responded in unison.

Subsequently, the various units of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army withdrew from various positions on the outskirts of Jimo County. Began to assemble and march southward.

The actions of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army were very large. did not conceal their whereabouts at all, and the Japanese troops in Jimo County naturally noticed it quickly.

After a few days of rest. The Japanese army finally recovered a little from the series of blows, especially Terauchi Masayi and Kamio Mitsutomi who had finally regained their strength. conAd2();

The idea of holding the people of Jimo County hostage and making the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army throw a rat trap and not dare to launch a large-scale artillery bombardment was the idea of Shenwei Guangchen.

In the past few days, the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army has not fired a single shot at Jimo County, which makes Shenwei Mitsuchen think that his trick of holding the people of Jimo County hostage has worked, so he has been in a good mood recently.

In the headquarters, Terauchi Masatoshi and Mitsutomi Kamio discussed the latest changes in the battle situation while sipping tea.

"Kamio-kun, I've already asked the Tokyo headquarters for reinforcements. Although the Cabinet was very unhappy with our repeated defeats, at the strong request of the Duke of Shanxian, it had agreed to send us an additional division of reinforcements, including a heavy artillery wing. Masaki Terauchi said.

Hearing this, Kamio Mitsutomi suddenly looked excited, and said: "Okay, the reinforcements of a division and regiment, and a heavy artillery wing, no matter how cunning and treacherous the people are, in the face of such a strong strength of our army, there is only one way to die!" ”

"There is no room for loss in this battle, and we must completely annihilate the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army! Catch Wang Mo's Zhina, and I will give him the most cruel punishment in Zhina-Ling Chi! The temple Zhengyi gritted his teeth and said, he couldn't wait to eat Wang Mo's flesh and drink Wang Mo's blood.

Wang Mo ...... I'm afraid it's not so easy to catch, speaking of which, the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army has not moved much in the past two days, which doesn't seem to be in line with Wang Mo's combat style. Kamio Mitsuchen frowned and said, from the wars since these days, it can be seen that Wang Mo doesn't look like a passive fighter, why hasn't there been any movement until now?

As soon as Kamio Mitsutomi's words fell, a Japanese communications soldier walked quickly into the headquarters and reported: "Report, the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army has withdrawn from its position and is marching southward. ”

"Withdrawn from position? Could it be that the people of China are going to withdraw their troops? Terauchi asked in confusion.

"Marching south? Nanfang ......" Kamio Mitsutomi muttered, suddenly thought of a possibility, his face suddenly changed greatly, and exclaimed, "Not good, Your Excellency General, the people of China are heading for Qingdao!" ”

"What's the ...... about going to Qingdao" Terau Masashi didn't care about it at first, but he suddenly came to his senses halfway through the words, his face also changed drastically, and he asked urgently, "What do you mean, the people of China are going to go to the army of our allies over there in Qingdao?" ”

Kamio Mitsutomi nodded solemnly and said, "I'm afraid that's the case, most of the people in China want to capture the armies of their allies, so as to force our Great Japanese Empire to withdraw from Shandong China. conAd3(); ”

"Impossible, the empire has paid such a big price, it is impossible to give up the Shandong of China!" Masaki immediately stood up and said angrily.

"Although our allies have only 2,000 men, and there are a few hundred Indian soldiers among them, their country is different from our Great Japanese Empire, and once the Shina capture the troops of these allies, they can put a lot of pressure on their domestic cabinet and parliament." The more Kamio Mitsutomi talked, the more worried he became, if it was a Japanese soldier, let alone a few thousand people, even tens of thousands of people could be accounted for, but this was a British white soldier.

Terauchi Masayi obviously knew that the British army could not fall into the hands of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance under any circumstances, so he said: "In this case, immediately call Qingdao and ask them to temporarily withdraw to Laoshan Bay and transfer at any time by the ships of the Second Fleet!" ”

After speaking, Terauchi Masashi ordered the confidential telegraph room to send a telegram to the British and Japanese forces on the Qingdao side to warn them, and asked them to urgently withdraw to Laoshan Bay.

However, even though the warning telegram had been sent, Kamio Mitsutomi's worries were still undiminished, and he said, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid it's not enough to just call to warn. It would be bad if the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army attacked lightly and blocked the retreat of the coalition forces to Laoshan Bay. ”

"How is this possible, how can it be thirty or forty kilometers from here to Laoshan Bay, how can the people of China ......" Terauchi Masatsuki's words of disbelief were not finished, and he suddenly remembered that the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army had returned to aid Jiaoxian with a miraculous speed, and then he couldn't continue, but asked Kamio Guangchen, "Then Kamio-kun, what do you mean?" ”

Kamio Mitsutomi thought for a moment and replied, "Your Excellency, our army must attack!" If there is an opportunity, we will launch a surprise attack from behind the Shina people and defeat the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance in one fell swoop! If the people of China are on guard, then our army will do its best to delay them and buy time for the coalition forces on the Qingdao side to evacuate! ”

In this regard, Terauchi Masashi has no opinion, after all, he knows very well that the British army on the Qingdao side must not afford to lose. Therefore, he immediately ordered the Japanese army in Jimo County to start gathering, and sent a large number of reconnaissance troops to probe the movements of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance.

Coincidentally, both the Chinese and Japanese armies scattered a large number of reconnaissance units, both for the purpose of probing each other's movements.

Because the fuel ran out, the reconnaissance planes of the Blue Eagle Flying Group could not be dispatched, so in order to ensure that the reconnaissance unit achieved an overwhelming advantage, Wang Mo asked the 300 special combat personnel to also join the ranks of the reconnaissance unit.

Not long after, fierce fighting broke out between the reconnaissance units of the Chinese and Japanese armies, and the two sides fought back and forth in the dense forests of the mountain roads.

Bang-bang-bang

Boom-boom-boom

The sound of gunfire and grenade explosions continued to sound in the silent mountain road and dense forest.

The reconnaissance units of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army were led by special combat units that were skilled in jungle and mountain operations, and they were all children who grew up in the mountains and were accustomed to mountain jungles, and from time to time they could also obtain information about the Japanese army from local villagers.

In the face of the blockade network of the reconnaissance troops of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, the Japanese army could not reconnoiter the specific situation of the main force of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance.

In the end, Terauchi Masashi had no choice but to order the entire Japanese army in Jimo County to attack, and chased after the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, which was marching south.

After receiving the information that the whole Japanese army in Jimo County was attacking, Wang Mo did not rush back to fight a decisive battle, but while shrinking the reconnaissance force to avoid losses, he ordered the main force to rush to Baohu Mountain as soon as possible and set up an ambush according to the predetermined plan.
