350 escaped

On December 10, 1832, World War I, or the first large-scale war on a worldwide scale after the Anti-Ming War, died down in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula and returned to a chilling calm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

On this night, more than 200,000 Japanese troops desperately retreated under the cover of night, while more than 300,000 troops of the Ming Empire were stationed in place for the first large-scale rest since the start of the war. Some of the soldiers spent the night in the village, while others camped in the wilderness, enjoying a rare good time for two days and one night.

However, in the area occupied by the troops of the Ming Empire, there are still people who have difficulty sleeping, and can only grope forward in the darkness with enough energy. The leader of these people was Uehara Sawa, the commander of the Japanese 8th Division, and there were only about 70 people left with him, and the rest were either dead or fled.

Judging from the results of the battle, the breakthrough carried out by the 8th Division under the command of Uehara was an absolute failure. With a force of nearly 10,000 people, only a few hundred people finally broke out of the encirclement, and the rest were quickly annihilated because of the failure to break through, which was definitely a complete failure.

As a result, the famous Japanese 8th Division was completely annihilated, and the Japanese army lost more than 60,000 men during this time. However, Uehara managed to escape, and he didn't even restrain the fleeing soldiers, because he knew that the fewer people around him, the less likely he was to attract the attention of the Ming army.

Because of the rapid rout of the Japanese army, the Ming army was filled with a large number of Japanese routs, and because of this, it did not seem very special to encounter a robbery of 100 Japanese soldiers in a certain village - this was the escape environment that Uehara sawa needed, and the more unnoticed, the greater his chances of escaping back to the area controlled by the Japanese army.

It's just that when the 8th Division broke through, there were not many rations left, and at this time, the soldiers gathered around Uehara Sawa were obviously exhausted and unable to fight. It is okay to expect these soldiers to rob civilians and deal with the army of the Ming Empire, it is simply a joke.

Uehara Ze himself also knew that his subordinates still had a few catties and taels, so they also avoided the Ming troops advancing head-on. The Ming army, which had no choice but to attack southward along the way, was like a river, and Uehara had to be very cautious if he wanted to cross some lines of communication according to the plan he had first conceived.

Because the troops of the Ming army were almost constantly advancing along the highway and railway lines, and even after a large number of troops passed, there were ordinary infantry covering the sappers along the railway and highway and other communication lines to carry out emergency repair operations. After all, these lines of communication have been destroyed by the air force of the Ming Empire, and although the front-line troops have filled many potholes, there are still many remaining craters.

"There are too many of these dogs, and it looks like at least tens of thousands of people have passed through here, which is really scary." An officer pressed the pistol on his waist and said to Uehara Sawa. He took a few scouts and Uehara Sawawa to the place close to the highway to reconnoitre, looked at the groups of Ming soldiers passing by, and said with a weak heart.

Uehara didn't eat anything for dinner, and it was when he was uncomfortable, watching the Ming soldiers who were advancing with torches marching along the highway line one by one, and he was also holding back his anger. Who knows when this endless will end?

He had been hiding on a hill for a long time before he came out at night. I originally thought that I could take advantage of the fact that the Ming occupation forces did not stabilize and escape along the gap between the opposing forces, but now I realized that I still underestimated the total strength of the Ming army.

But at this time, it is unrealistic to wait any longer, because everyone has already not eaten a dinner, and if you don't eat in the wild for a night in such a cold weather, maybe these seventy or so people will not even have thirty left by the next morning.

He led these people to break out, or to escape, and the main means of gathering morale was to claim to take everyone alive and retreat back to the occupied areas of the Japanese army. If the soldiers are forcibly required to continue to lurk at this time, it is tantamount to cutting off the way of life for most of the people, and it will definitely cause a mutiny.

Thinking of this, Uehara Sawa also determined his plan of action, he looked back at the more than seventy soldiers lying behind the slope, and whispered: "We can't spend the night in the wilderness, we must find a village, grab some food, and then think about the rest of the matter." Hot meals, hot rest rooms, must have. ”

This arrangement was immediately approved by almost all the soldiers, who had fled all the way to their present position, and the situation was clear, and when they heard their commander say this, their morale immediately rose. For the rout, another means of boosting morale is to rob property and condone murder and arson.

So the more than 70 Japanese soldiers, carrying their rifles and light machine guns, slowly advanced towards a nearby village that had already been chosen. Their goal was simple, to kill everyone in the village and turn it into a place where they would spend the night.

Looking at his men who were barely moving, Uehara couldn't help but feel pessimistic in his heart, as he passed by the neighborhood when he came, and he had more than 27,000 well-trained elite soldiers in his hands. But now they fled back in disarray, and only one squadron of a division was left with dissatisfaction.

"Miyamoto Yuren! You idiot! If I can go back, be sure to state your faults to the base camp, bastard! The elite of my Great Japanese Empire, 30,000 soldiers who can fight well, have been buried by your stupidity! He pressed his palms to his command knife and watched his troops stagger forward, shouting in a low voice of hatred.

Now all of this depends on your luck, that village obviously has not been stationed by the Ming army half an hour ago, and the location away from the main road is obviously not the way to go, there should be no large Ming army passing by. And it seems that the Ming army will have to rush overnight this night, and there will be no troops stationed in the village.

"Attack! As long as you attack overnight, you will give me a chance to escape and ascend to heaven! Uehara looked at the continuous torches on the road in the distance, and his mood immediately changed from angry to triumphant, and even the tone of his speech seemed different. Obviously, at this moment, he is very happy with his plan, but he doesn't know what will happen in the next second. (To be continued.) )
