The silence of the northern part of the Korean Peninsula on December 10 does not mean that it will be quiet and peaceful on December 11. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Also after the sky lit up, the bombers of the Ming army once again went out on time, dropping hundreds of bombs on the roads and positions of the Japanese army.

Miyamoto was accustomed to hearing the occasional explosion of that kind of bomb, and when he opened his eyes, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning. Because the Ming army had not yet caught up with the fleeing Japanese army, and a fierce battle had not broken out between the two sides, the chief of staff and Jiro Yamaguchi did not wake up the poor Japanese commander-in-chief.

He washed his face, and then walked out of the bunker where he was resting, because of the cold, his face was hot, and as soon as he went out, he saw a hill in the distance, and the bombs that had just been dropped by the Ming bombers raised black smoke.

This kind of war was a little incomprehensible to him, because it was the first time that he had experienced this mode of warfare in which planes could be used to drop bombs a hundred kilometers or more behind enemy lines. What frightened him even more was that the enemy already had such a pattern of warfare, but Japan did not have such strength now.

"Your Excellency General, the 9th and 15th Divisions have sent a telegram saying that they have reached a relatively safe position, and the location of the 19th Division is not far from Anzhou......" An order officer handed the accumulated telegram to Miyamoto Yuhito, and briefly reported the news of the retreat of the Japanese army during the night.

The 2nd Division and the 20th Division, which Miyamoto Yuhito was most concerned about, were now near Tokugawa, and after a day and a night of wild running, the Japanese troops were not annihilated by the formation after losing the broken 5th Division.

This is definitely good news for Yuhito Miyamoto. He looked at the two distant Ming Empire bombers in the sky, sighed, took those telegrams, and after casually turning a few pages, he handed them back to the other party.

There is no difference between him looking at these things now and not looking at them - it is no longer possible for the troops on the front line to stop retreating and follow his orders to counterattack. If he just runs backwards, then what is the difference between him commanding and not commanding?

"One thing is worrying." The chief of staff knew that Miyamoto had woken up, and at this time he also walked over from the headquarters not far away, and spoke to his commander about the changes in the Ming army's offensive: "Your Excellency, the 2nd Army, which the other side attacked, did not continue to attack south, which may not be good news for us. ”

"The whereabouts of the 2nd Army of the Ming Army are unknown? Are you kidding? Hearing the chief of staff say this, Miyamoto Yuren immediately became nervous. Judging from past experience, the country has already sent someone to take over his command, and if there is any chaos at this time, it will be completely on the pillar of shame of the country.

"Have you investigated whether the Ming army's troops are resting their troops because they are advancing too fast, or have they changed the direction of attack?" He took the report from the chief of staff about the halt of the advance of part of the Ming army on the front, and quickly looked at it.

"Actually, the Ming army changed the direction of the attack...... Instead of pursuing the 2nd and 20th Divisions around Tokugawa, they attacked in a southeasterly direction and occupied Osehiro. When the chief of staff heard Miyamoto ask this, he quickly answered everything he knew.

After a little construction in his mind, Miyamoto Yuren guessed that the Ming army was going to attack the underwater, but the Japanese defenders there may not even have 1,000 people. Including the local North Korean Defense Wing, it is estimated that there are only 5,000 troops.

"It's underwater! They're going to take Underwater Lane and take Changhyeon-ri! When Miyamoto said these words, the muscles on his face tensed, because it was so hideous, his face was twisted and beating.

"Your Excellency General, in this way, those miscellaneous troops in the local area will not be able to hold the underwater at all." When the chief of staff heard that the main direction of attack of the Ming army was underwater, he also realized the seriousness of the problem, and said to Miyamoto Yuhito: "Do you want to support ......?" ”

At the end of the day, the more the chief of staff spoke, the quieter he became, and he knew that at this time, there were no troops at all who could immediately counterattack to a place like underwater, and even if there were, it would be almost the same as sending him to death.

However, if the Ming army was allowed to go underwater, then there would be a very serious problem in front of all the senior Japanese commanders: although some of the main forces of the Japanese 2nd Army and the 3rd Army escaped from Ascension, the Japanese 5th Army was actually surrounded in the deep mountains and old forests in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.

"What will we do if the Ming army continues to attack east from Changhyeon-ri?" The chief of staff also panicked at this time. The reason why the Japanese army was able to get rid of the encirclement of the 2nd Army by the Ming army was because the northern terrain of the Korean Peninsula was favorable for the Japanese army close to the plain.

But now that the Ming army realized that it had failed to encircle the 2nd Army, the main force of Japan, it turned around and cleaned up the Japanese 5th Army that was left behind, which made the Japanese high-level have no choice. Now the 5th Army is retreating in the mountains in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, not to mention the slow speed and lack of provisions, and it is blocked in the ravine by the Ming army, which can be said to be a sure thing.

"Send a telegram to the headquarters of the 5th Army, tell them about the current situation, let them retreat to Hamhung, Hongyuan and other cities as much as possible, and be prepared for a forced breakthrough." That's all Miyamoto can do now.

As soon as the chief of staff heard this, he knew that this was completely an order for the 5th Army to obey its fate. Originally, the 5th Army did not get the full amount of supplies, and now it has been suffering in the ravines and ravines for two days, and it is going to conduct high-intensity operations against the Ming army just after leaving the mountains? Isn't this the rhythm of watching the 5th Army go to its death?

"Your Excellency General, no, Miyamoto-kun...... Isn't this kind of order given to the 5th Army at this time to leave them to fend for themselves? The chief of staff looked at Miyamoto and asked with great emotion.

"So what do you think I can do? Where do I have any troops to rescue them? If they can break through, there is a way to survive, and if they can't break through, they must fight to the last soldier! This is their glory as soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire! Got it? Miyamoto stared at his chief of staff and said his true thoughts fiercely. Not only did he want the 5th Army to die, but he also wanted them to entangle the Ming Army before they died...... (To be continued.) )
