Chapter 801: Turn to the North

The continuous pursuit of the Northwest Mobile Force,Finally let the last hope of Tachibana Koichiro's department be lost,Including Tachibana Koichiro,All the surviving days are running wildly,Even if it is Tachibana Koichiro's side,It's just a few soldiers who follow,The Northwest Army's tactical ability,Let him completely despair,Those armored trucks and tricycles,It's like maggots on tarsal bones,Chase them and fight,Own losses,Less than half,But in the pursuit battle,The number of losses keeps increasing,Every minute, Somebody has fallen.

Fortunately, just chased out more than ten kilometers, the Northwest Army stopped the pursuit, Tachibana Koichiro has suffered most of the casualties, the rest, are some remnants of the defeated soldiers, they scattered and fled, all over the vast wilderness, if you continue to pursue, the mobile forces must also be dispersed, they know ordinary armored cars and three-wheeled motorcycles, not armored vehicles and tanks, scattered to pursue, it is likely to cause casualties, Chen Liang achieved the goal, blocked and defeated Tachibana Koichiro after the division, unwilling to continue to take risks, After chasing for about a dozen kilometers, the pursuit was stopped.

Seeing that all the motor vehicles were returned, Tachibana Koichiro let out a long breath, it was terrible, the Northwest Army really lived up to its reputation, and 3,000 people defeated 12,000 of them, but why are they equipped with so many machine guns and outrageous artillery.

Mortars have not yet appeared in the military field of the world, and it is normal for Japan not to know about them, it is very strange that those small guns with strange ranges are only regarded as infantry guns or battle defense guns that are easy to carry, even if they are such artillery, the density in the northwest is too high. 3,000 people almost more than 200 cannons, known to Koichiro Tachibana. No country's regular army would equip its army with so much artillery. Let's not talk about whether the finance can support it, even if it does, how to supply logistics, the pressure of artillery on logistics is far greater than that of rifles, and the rate of fire of those guns is still so fast.

Koichiro Tachibana, who couldn't figure it out, had to stay there and gather some of the routs, but the reconnaissance team hit him too hard. From the moment he fled, the damage was doomed, and of the 12,000 troops, he only collected 1,200 people in the end, half of them were still collected on the way back, and among these people, only half were armed with weapons, and even fewer were bullets.

Sigh. Tachibana Koichiro took his men and went back in a gray way, and on the way, he ran into Mitsutomi Kamio carrying the main force of the Japanese army. They had already put things in order in a matter of hours, and they had taken the rest with them, except for a little logistical force left.

Qingdao Fort had so many 15-inch guns. I think it's an important area, Tachibana Koichiro's troops. It's just a vanguard that really has to work. Or the 18th Division, which has not lost most of the main force and has full firepower, but as soon as he walked halfway, he heard the sound of fierce firefighting in front of him, and it must have been Tachibana Koichiro who had received the enemy, but in terms of position, it was a little far away from the battery, did it encounter the defenders of Qingdao?

No matter what it was, Kamio Mitsuchen had to speed up, but soon, just when Kamio Mitsuchen was on the road, the gunfire had stopped, Kamio Mitsuchen was a little confused, could it be a victory, but soon, an hour later, they bumped into the Tachibana Koichiro rout, in fact, these Japanese routs had nowhere to escape, surrounded by Chinese, they naturally chose the landing location, at this time they were greatly stimulated, and even the military formation began to storm.

Kamio Mitsutomi ruled the army very strictly, seeing these headless and brainless routs, after several orders failed, they began to kill, after killing more than a dozen completely lost routs, the Japanese stabilized the situation, from the mouths of these routs, they got the information that shocked them, it turned out that it was not Tachibana Koichiro who won, but encountered a team of 3,000 people in the northwest, they were completely defeated, and suffered heavy losses.

Before Kamio Koichiro summoned the others, Tachibana Koichiro came back, compared to those six gods and no master of the rout, he said more clearly, the number of the other party, combat effectiveness and artillery weapons, one by one, hearing Tachibana Koichiro's words, Kamio Koichiro's face was quite ugly.

Tachibana Koichiro's narration,It's basically the truth.,Besides, there are also the confessions of the previous defeated soldiers.,Basically, you can basically match.,Although Kamio Mitsutomi still has some doubts about the number of the Northwest Army.,But in front of him is a powerful force.,This is no doubt about it.,They have built a solid position in the south.,Defeated the 12,000 Japanese army.,Although Tachibana Koichiro's department lacks enough heavy firearms.,But do you want to continue to go south?

Kamio Mitsutomi couldn't decide, so he had to call Kawamura Sogoro and Koizumi Masaho, Tachibana Koichiro came back with a lot of movement, half a division of people, only a few hundred or thousands of people came back, what happened to them, they were also very strange, they were thinking about Kamio Mitsutomi rushing there, almost met on the road.

When they heard Tachibana Koichiro's retelling of the experience, the faces of the two people immediately became very bad, the defenders of Qingdao actually sent a mobile force under such circumstances, according to the distance they were from Qingdao, it should have been prepared, the attack of the combined fleet, in front of others, there is no secret at all, this time it is also a trap.

If this is the case, it will be dangerous, several senior officers have realized that the current situation is already quite dangerous, a little belongs to the result of the total annihilation, the transport ship has either been sunk, or has washed to the shore, completely unusable, in this sense, the possibility of escaping from the sea is gone, besides, even if there is a transport ship, it is impossible for them to escape, after all, the combined fleet has been completely annihilated, surrounded by the control of the Northwest Navy, even if there are ships, It is impossible to escape from the sea, just encountered, none of them want to come again, they are the army, and the combat effectiveness on land is very strong, but at sea, there is no ability to play a body, but it can't be played at all, when the ship is sunk, it can only fall into the sea and drown, that kind of taste, no one can try it again.

There is no way at sea, so what to do on land, this is the only idea of a few people, the division commander level is already a high-ranking officer in the Japanese army sequence, and the entire Japanese military is only 18 permanent divisions and regiments, plus the War Department is only twenty or thirty, they are not wine bags and rice bags, almost all know that it is very dangerous to go south, and the best is to go north.

Replaced by the previous China, not to mention tens of thousands of people, even if it is a few thousand, they dare to swagger on the land of China, but now, no, although the war between the northwest and Russia, they got little information, but Russia's million-strong army has no effect, but it is a loss of soldiers, this is a fact, it is a fact that cannot be changed, not to mention whether the Russian army is first-class or second-rate, at least it is also the main force of Russia, Japan in the Russo-Japanese War, For the Russian army's combat effectiveness is quite understood, even if it is second-rate, the combat effectiveness is not weak, as for the northwest, you can refer to his combat effectiveness, but the vanguard was defeated before, maybe it is an elite force, besides, if Qingdao is a trap, it means that Qingdao can't go, then through the Jiaozhou Peninsula and to the camp in Beiyang is the most correct choice.

Mitsutomi Kamio took out the map and found their location, because coming to meet Tachibana Koichiro was equivalent to wasting a lot of time, they had to return to the landing place from here, at least 2 hours, and it had been more than 5 hours back and forth, if they didn't choose the direction of Qingdao at that time, but went directly to the north, maybe, they would be able to escape.

At this time, they don't have time to care, whether they can escape or not, the current situation is urgent, and they must find a way to leave Jiaozhou Bay, otherwise, it will be over in one breath.

The news of Japan's cooperation with the revolutionary party and Beiyang has not expanded on a large scale, and Mitsutomi Kamio only knows that there is a cooperation, but it is absolutely impossible to cross Jiaozhou Bay, or even Anhui and Jiangsu, and run to the territory of the revolutionary party, so there is only one thing they can choose, the territory of Beiyang.

The strength of Beiyang is not strong, and it is normal to not be able to raise its head in front of Japan, so according to the map obtained before, as long as you pass through the distance of more than 100 kilometers on the Jiaozhou Peninsula, you can go to the land of Beiyang, and even in Shandong, there is a town in Beiyang to be stationed, as long as you enter their defense area, it should be safe.

"Okay, we have limited time, there is no time to delay, we must set off quickly, the wounded and some unnecessary supplies can also be abandoned, in the landing area, form a defensive line, it can be regarded as delaying the pursuit as much as possible!" Kamio Mitsutomi was very decisive, and quickly gave up some that might affect the retreat, for this, the two division commanders felt very normal, Ci is not in charge of the troops, if they can't make a good choice, how can they defeat the enemy, all kinds of accidents appear, their situation is already very dangerous, and they can't have any women's benevolence.

Next, it is to prepare, integrate and transfer, after deciding, now it is a race against time, Tachibana Koichiro lost the soldiers he led, and the remaining rout soldiers were also scattered and entered other divisions, which is equivalent to his position being taken down directly, and temporarily served as the deputy of Kamio Mitsutomi, for this, Tachibana Koichiro has no complaints, and only in his current post, do as well as possible, in order to wash away his mistakes.

In 20 minutes without interruption, the Japanese quickly turned and headed northwest, and they did not notice that above the clouds, a specially painted airship, which had been 10 kilometers away, quietly hoisted them, slowly following them. (To be continued......)
