Chapter 108: This is going on a killing spree
The main force of the Japanese infantry who arrived at the three turnouts, listening to the gunfire still ringing on the left and right sides, somewhat knew that on these two roads, their troops were exchanging fire with the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army, and only the middle road was opened.

For such a situation, the Chengde garrison officer in charge of command was actually a little worried. But after listening to the report of the cavalry wing commander, he also felt that maybe he was too worried. And in fact, they don't seem to have a choice.
Seeing that the battlefield was being cleaned, and the cavalry who were clearing gravel and crosslogs on the road, the Japanese infantry who arrived first also joined the operation to clear the road. Seeing this scene, the garrison officer who rushed to the scene was a little relieved.
Judging from the scene in front of him, the Eighth Route Army also set up a blockade here. It's just that the commander of the cavalry wing, who served as the vanguard, finally chose this road to march. The reason is that it is more suitable for large troops.
One of the other two roads doesn't even want to be passed in a short time. Even if the infantry can pass, but their vehicles will definitely not pass. And the road on the right, even if they choose, they may not be able to go.
The reason is simple, taking the road on the right to detour too far will also delay their precious evacuation time. In this case, it was also a wise decision for the cavalry wing commander to storm the middle lane at any cost.
After spending nearly two hours of cleaning, looking at the cleared road, the garrison officer also breathed a sigh of relief: "Order the troops to run forward, pass through this dangerous area as soon as possible, and win back the wasted time." ”
'Yes, General! ’
While the infantry helped clear the barricades, the expatriates who were already tired were given a rare two-hour break. It's just that when I heard that I was going to trot forward next, I looked a little sad.
But the problem is, the troops responsible for protecting them are trotting forward, and they can't walk, right? The sound of gunfire from the left and right sides directly told them that this was not a safe place, and the sooner they left, the safer it was.
Under the threat of death, even though these expatriates were exhausted, they still gritted their teeth and kept up with the pace of the troops. The cavalry, who reconnoitred the situation in advance, also informed that there was no information about the ambush of the Eighth Route Army in front.
Just when everyone felt that they could safely pass through this dangerous zone. The Japanese soldiers, who were about to walk out of this road, suddenly saw three flares that pierced the sky. And the appearance of the three flares made many little devils feel cold all over their bodies in an instant.
'Yaga! Enemy attack! Prepare to dodge! ’
If three flares were fired, the trotting Japanese troops realized that they were being ambushed. Then the fireball that followed behind the flare made many Japanese soldiers know that this was the scene of the artillery shell!
Looking at the little devils who were protecting around them, they instantly panicked, and many expatriates were directly stunned. For them, they were exhausted after walking for so long, but now they are still under attack!
One by one, the shells hit the Japanese troops on the march, and the little devils who didn't do anything at all blew up in an instant. Especially in the middle route army where the expatriates are located, the scene has become even more chaotic!
In the face of the sudden and heavy shelling, the stunned Japanese garrison officers knew even if they were stupid that they had encountered an ambush. The Eighth Route Army, which can hit such a fierce artillery bombardment, is it not the main force, what is it?
I thought that this was a lucky escape route, but I didn't think that this was a path of no return that the Eighth Route Army chose for them. And they were also happy and happy, jumping on this road of no return that the Eighth Route Army had chosen for them in advance.
But there was a trace of confusion in the garrison's heart, if there was also the main force of the Eighth Route Army here, then what would happen to the tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army troops who had besieged Chengde and Luanping earlier?
From there, the Eighth Route Army sent so many main forces into Chengde to fight, and they still didn't know it?
One mystery after another, the garrison officer couldn't understand why this battle was fought the way it was. Looking at the troops and expatriates screaming and wailing in the shelling, his heart was also extremely painful, but he couldn't think of any way to make up for it.
It wasn't until he looked at the mountain beams on both sides of the mountain road that the garrison officer finally said: "Order the troops, disperse and break through, enter the mountains, and find a way to break through." If you can go one by one, you can have a destiny! ”
After such an order was given, the staff officers who stayed by him were also surprised: "General? ”
'If we continue to stay on the road, we will all be shelled to death by them without the attack of the Eighth Route Army.' Drilling into the mountains, maybe we still have a way to live. Tell those expats that if they don't want to go into the mountains, then find a way to hide.
If we wait for the Eighth Route Army to come, as long as they are willing to be prisoners, I don't think the Eighth Route will kill them. If they go into the mountains, we can't protect them. Now, everyone is on their own! ’
Listen to the constant explosions on the road, and the gunfire in front and behind the road. The garrison officer knew very well that he had penetrated into the ambush circle carefully designed by the Eighth Route Army, and it would definitely be impossible to break through.
On the other hand, if they rushed into the mountains, with the advantage of numbers, the Eighth Route Army wanted to annihilate them all at night, but I am afraid it would not be an easy thing. After all, tens of thousands of troops scattered in a hurry, and it would take a lot of effort for the Eighth Route to catch it!
After giving the order to break through the encirclement, the garrison officer continued: "Send a telegram to Your Excellency the Commander informing us that our troops have been attacked. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, let the North China reinforcements return to Beiping! ”
After a brief remark, the staff officers who followed him also didn't know what to say. What they thought was supposed to be a safe way to retreat turned out to be like this.
The most unbelievable thing for them was that the Eighth Route Army lurked such a main force here, and they didn't even notice it. From this point, it can also be seen how clever the commander of the Eighth Route Army is!
Even if it was already midnight, they received a farewell message from the Chengde garrison, and the officer on duty had to wake him up and report the frustrating news to them, even if they knew that Mei Xianzhi Miro had fallen asleep.
Originally, Mei Xianji Miro, who was still a little dissatisfied and felt that his sleep was disturbed, woke up instantly when he learned the news. In fact, he also found it hard to believe that he received this telegram.
'The Chengde garrison was ambushed by the main division of the Eighth Route Army? The scale of artillery used by the other side is no less than that of an artillery regiment? How is this possible? So many troops from where the Eighth Road? ’
Like the question of the Chengde garrison, Mei Xinzhi Miro also felt that the strength of the Eighth Route Army exposed in Chengde should already be their limit. But now a main division, where did it come from?
In the face of such disbelief, Mei Ji Miro also knows that no amount of talk will help. The farewell telegram sent by the Chengde garrison informed them very clearly that their plan to withdraw to Beiping had completely failed.
In other words, from the very beginning they were led by the Eighth Route Army. Being able to do such an accurate ambush is enough to show that the Eighth Route Army is only afraid of being prepared. Before the defenders of Chengde could retreat, they laid out this game.
As a result, they were really led by the nose by the Eighth Route Army and stupidly got in. Thinking of this, Mei Xianji Miro also felt very depressed in his heart, and he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood after half a sound.
'Your Excellency, Commander! ’
This vomit didn't matter, but it startled the officer on duty who came to deliver the information. Even if this officer knew that the Kwantung Army had been in trouble recently, most of the telegrams sent every day would not be good news.
The continuous bad news may be the reason why Mei Jimiro vomits blood. Fortunately, Mei Xianji Miro, who vomited a mouthful of blood, looked a little sad, but he still didn't fall down in the end.
After a while, Mei Xianzhi Meilang said: "Send a telegram to the North China Front, so that they don't have to advance anymore, and quickly withdraw to Beiping!" This time, we lost again! It seems that it is necessary for us to really pay attention to the existence of these eight roads! ”
Mei Ji Miro, who said this, had no expression on his face. But the low and indifferent expression let those who knew him know that the commander was really angry. Then next, the Kwantung Army is only afraid that there will be a big move.
Although the current situation in the Northeast is also relatively chaotic, many generals of the Kwantung Army believe that as long as they go all out, they can still ensure that the situation in the Northeast will not be out of their control.
Even if the time is not early, Mei Xianji Meilang is on duty and gives a few orders in one breath. After these orders were issued, the two divisions of the Kwantung Army stationed in Hei Province also carried out an emergency assembly overnight.
Once again, the two main divisions were assembled and prepared to go to the Rehe front, which was enough to show that the Kwantung Army would use all its strength to compete with the Eighth Route Army. I think Mei Yan Ji Miro also knows that he must let go of his hands and feet to fight.
Most importantly, he knew that soon the North China Front would also be supported by two divisions. At that time, it is believed that the North China Front will also launch a corresponding counteroffensive. And then it was time for them to take revenge.
Even, one of the two divisions that Mei Yanji Miro transferred from Hei Province this time is also the real elite of the Kwantung Army. A mechanized chariot division in the true sense of the word, this is going to kill on a large scale!
After all, anyone who knows the Kwantung Army knows that this division, equipped with a large number of tanks and combat vehicles, was used by the Kwantung Army to deal with the threat of the Soviet Far East Army. Now that it is transferred to the front line of Rehe, it is undoubtedly going to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army.
Perhaps He Zhengdao didn't expect that in order to deal with his continuous erosion, the Kwantung Army would be willing to take out such a family background to die with him. So not long after, how will He Zhengdao, who learned of this situation, respond to the strong counterattack of the Kwantung Army?
At least judging from the current situation, the combat effectiveness of the chariot units under the command of the Kwantung Army is still very strong. With only infantry troops, it is not easy to resist the counterattack of these ironclad chariots!
