The Northwest Army and the Eighteenth Division faced each other on the beach in Qingdao, looking at the increasingly tight and deeper defense line, Kamio Mitsutomi had almost given up hope of breaking through, he could only expect the Northwest Army to attack later, so that he could defend for a few more days and support the arrival of reinforcements from the base camp.

On the other hand, those Japanese soldiers who took advantage of the night to pass through the defense line, they took advantage of the night to pass through the defense line of the Northwest Army, these people were selected by Kamio Mitsutomi, who were once his subordinates, who had stayed in China for at least 3 years, and who were proficient in Chinese.

In the case of losing equipment and military uniforms and changing into regular uniforms, except for some fundamental habits, which are slightly different from the Chinese, the rest are not much different from the Chinese, which is also the fundamental reason why Kamio Mitsuchen is relieved.

In the night, the defense line built by the Northwest Army had a lot of air raids, and these well-trained soldiers were divided into more than a dozen groups, entered those gaps, and quietly left, after penetrating this defense line, there was no fixed encirclement, especially after entering the countryside, it was even more hidden. Most of the defense lines of the Northwest Army were aimed at large forces, and the military regulations were special for not disturbing the people, and the inspection of these people was relatively small, and the farther away they were from the encirclement, the more comfortable they became, and they could even walk openly.

In the middle of the march, Mitsutomi Kamio sent out 12 teams, gradually gathered together, they were familiar with Shandong, and chose Yantai, a big city closer to Qingdao, they came to Yantai from different roads, of course. It is not completely without losses, and there are a few of them that are not long-sighted. It happened to bump into the patrol in the northwest, and was unexpectedly caught. The rest all went to Yantai.

On the way, they were surprised by the changes in the whole of Shandong, starting from Qingdao, the entire Jiaozhou Bay, everywhere there were garrisons, everywhere was the Northwest Army, the number was far greater than their troops, and even Yantai was also charged. At this time, the sky was already bright, and on the streets of Yantai, soldiers wearing Northwest military uniforms could be seen everywhere.

These Japanese officers knew that their landing operation had definitely fallen into the design of the Chinese, and they had been fooled, not to mention a surprise attack, even if it was a frontal confrontation, they were definitely not opponents in the northwest. Under the ambush of the Northwest who was waiting for work, they were able to have the current result, which was already good.

Don't worry about the outcome of the 18th Division, for them. The most important thing is to carry out the task and send back the current situation of the 18th Division and the information on Qingdao. As the men split into different groups, they slowly approached the telegraph room. But when they arrived, several people froze. In the telegraph room, all of them were the Northwest Army. Even on the street outside, there are several layers of sentry posts.

An officer hesitated slightly, pretended to be calm, and stepped forward, wanting to cross the inspection posts, but he was stopped just halfway through, and after a few words of inquiry, he was driven back, and hid on the corner of the street to ask about the situation, but he was distressed to tell the reason, it turned out that the Northwest Army in front of him was extremely inspected, not only required to provide a certificate of household registration, but also had at least 4 neighbors as a guarantee, and the telegram could not be entered in person, and the telegram must be written on paper, and these soldiers went in and sent it.

The very simple method almost blocked some of the possibilities of their telegram, which made them very depressed.

After Cai Yi guessed the purpose of Kamio Mitsutomi, he chose to encircle the point to send reinforcements, but how to surround the point to send reinforcements, there is a point to say, you can't have any preparations, just let the Japanese get the news. The reason why he asked Yang Yuanzhao to build the Corps is to reduce casualties as much as possible, encirclement and reinforcement in ancient Chinese tactics, is a classic tactic, but there are many ways to crack him, don't set the trap, but the reinforcements behind them broke their encirclement, and contacted the Japanese army inside, this is not his style.

The most important thing to slow down their speed is that in the vicinity of Qingdao, these cities closest to Qingdao have not all been under the control of the military, and the telegraph room must be under the jurisdiction of the military. Such strict control will make people very inconvenient, from the beginning, the people of Yantai have complained, but the real need for telegrams is only a very small number of people in the city, their voices, can not affect the mainstream of the city at all, besides, it is not impossible to send it at all.

The Japanese plot cannot be achieved at all, they will not be false in Chinese, where to find someone to vouch for, not to mention that they are low-level officers, do not know the secret telegram of the General Staff, even if they know, in this telegram room tightly controlled by the soldiers, you send a lot of things that do not know what to do, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the other party, and when the time comes, these soldiers will definitely detain them.

Hiding here for more than half an hour, I looked at the telegrams sent in the past, and each one of them was carefully checked, some of them did not send them back, and some of them brought witnesses and household registrations, and they were considered to have entered it, but they still couldn't enter the telegraph room, and looked at the posture of the Northwest Army, which was preparing for a protracted war.

"It's so ruthless, it looks like they're ready to isolate us and annihilate us, and we can't let their plot succeed."

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, what should we do?"

Shao Zuo thought for a moment, and said: "Yantai can't, then continue to go, no matter how the northwest is, the control is only a Jiaozhou Bay, and the surrounding territory, which belongs to the German sphere of influence, the larger territory is in the control of Beiyang, as long as you leave the scope of Qingdao and enter Jinan, or those cities further north, does the northwest dare to control it so blatantly?" ”

This officer is still relatively knowledgeable, and the Northwest Army is really in several cities around Qingdao that have telegraphs, that is, dozens of kilometers around Qingdao, on the Shandong side, and the northwest has not moved for the time being, knowing that the revolutionary party and Beiyang have bad intentions, but sometimes, the name is still needed, and the northwest cannot accept the consequences of taking the initiative to provoke disputes for the time being.

Those Japanese in Yantai for a long time, the final choice is to take the train to leave Yantai, into the city belt, the traffic is much more convenient, especially over the years, the northwest has been promoting the national railway construction, from Yantai, to Jinan, and even to any larger city in Shandong, there are trains, the fare is not expensive, in order to reduce the goal, they are scattered into 10 teams, into zero, buy train tickets and leave Yantai.

From Yantai to Jinan, at the speed of the northwest train, it is only five or six hours at most, and the commander of the division is in Qingdao, and he can resist it, and when he is waiting for the train at the railway station, Shaozuo said silently in his heart to Qingdao in the distance.

That's right, this officer's estimate is good, and Kamio Mitsutomi is really able to resist, because the Northwest Army has not launched an attack on Kamio Mitsutomi's department at all, and the Northwest Army is thinking about building a defensive position outside, preparing to surround Kamio Mitsutomi's department, and there is really no battle, but Kamio Mitsutomi's shape is in danger.

Kamio Mitsutomi is a good officer, he knows very well what the purpose of the northwest is, surround him, in this case, the tighter the opponent's defense, the lower the probability of them escaping, although he doesn't think that the base camp will give up their 30,000 people, but what if, what can he do when the time comes, there will be no chance at all.

A thought rose in his heart, if he attacked at this time, maybe it would be better, but then Kamio Mitsutomi completely abandoned this idea, if he had a complete 18th Division in his hands, and had all the logistics supplies, he would definitely try it, but at this time, he didn't dare to move at all, on the one hand, they were tired soldiers, remnants, on the other hand, the number of the Northwest Army was far above them, and the defense system built step by step made Kamio Mitsutomi frightened, he asked the survivors of the 89th Division, Knowing the process of the destruction of the 890th Regiment, the other side only used one or two thousand people, not only resisted the decisive attack of 20,000 people of the 89th Division, but also successfully counterattacked, and now the life and death of Koizumi Masahor and Kawamura Sogoro are uncertain, and most of the officers and wounded soldiers have been captured.

The defense line of one or two thousand people is so difficult to break, not to mention that the number of the opponent is far more than the current eighteenth division, in this case, Kamio Mitsutomi does not dare to attack lightly, the other party will snicker if he does not attack, and it is good to be able to hold the defense line. Don't think about attacking or anything, his only hope is that his subordinates can quickly send electricity to the base camp, so that the base camp can rescue them as soon as possible.

A day has passed, after a group of resting Japanese troops, it is considered to have recovered a little strength, in the area of one square kilometer, the fortifications have been strengthened a lot, and even slowly expanded outward, sometimes the defense is tight, the range is too small, the opponent is covered by a dense artillery fire, maybe you can make most of the defense fail, since the other side does not attack, then expand outward.

When night fell, the seaside in winter, it was extremely cold, and the Japanese army shivered and hid in the defense line, nervously preventing the Northwest Army from sneaking attack, but in the other direction, the defense line of the Northwest Army, except for some observation posts, the rest were hiding in a solid defense line, night vision goggles and searchlights, almost so that the Japanese army could not launch a sneak attack, and in the cold days, it was still warmer and more comfortable in the room.

One night, in the frightened past, almost the second half of the night, Kamio Mitsutomi, who had not had a good rest for several days, still couldn't resist the fatigue, and fell asleep deeply, there was no movement throughout the night, tens of thousands of people were concentrated in an area of dozens of square kilometers, and they didn't even go off the rails, and when the sun rose again, it was a new day.

The clear sky, in the eyes of Kamio Mitsutomi, there is no comfort, above the blue sea, there is no unobstructed view, there is not even a fishing boat, whether the base camp has received information, will they send troops over, but even if it is the fastest, it will take a few days, these days, there is no restful sleep.
