"Your Highness, now that the morale of the locusts army has been frustrated and the formation is in chaos, we must take measures as much as possible, and if we continue like this, it will inevitably lead to a larger scale of chaos." The chief of staff couldn't help but remind.

"Yes!" Only then did Beibaichuan Gong Nengjiu react, "The order was sent to the Fourth Brigade, and the Fifth Brigade stopped the Qing army at any cost, and the other departments immediately turned in the direction of Laizhou." ”

"Hay!" The chief of staff answered, and immediately ordered someone to go to deliver the order.

After all, the Japanese Guards Division was the most elite unit of the Japanese army, and under the order of Kita-Shirakawa Miyahisa, the Japanese troops of the two brigades finally temporarily contained the offensive of the Tiger Army under desperate resistance. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the large Japanese army was able to temporarily retreat back, and the main force of the Japanese army retreated for more than ten miles before barely holding a foothold.

Ren Chao saw that he couldn't take much advantage if he continued to fight, so he immediately ordered the attack to be stopped, and the whole army retreated ten miles back to set up camp, and built fortifications on the spot. After the war, the number of people was counted, and the Tiger Ben army suffered great losses, with more than 1,000 casualties. But the results of the battle were also quite fruitful, the Japanese army lost nearly 3,000 people one after another, three brigades were directly disabled, and two brigades were severely damaged! The most important thing is that this battle played the military might of the Tiger Ben Army, knocked out the sharpness of the little devil, and made the little devil dare not act rashly for the time being.

"It's so cool, this battle is really happy!"

"More than 10,000 little devils were beaten by us, and the wolf bèi escaped, it's really happy!"

The main generals of the Tiger Ben Army in the command room were gathered together, excitedly discussing today's results, and everyone's faces were filled with the joy of victory.

"That's it! Look at the beauty of you, all the tails are about to rise to the sky! Ren Chao said coldly with a straight face.

When everyone saw Ren Chao put on a dead face, as if everyone else owed him eight hundred taels of silver, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to squeak. Because everyone knows that this boss is very unhappy now, and if this boss is provoked, everyone will have to walk around without eating. It is true that Ren Chao is very unhappy now, according to Ren Chao's plan, he will completely defeat the little devil in one go, and when the time comes, he will chase and kill all the way, and more than 10,000 little devils can leave at least 5,000, but he didn't expect the little devil to suddenly react, and sent two teams of little devils to bite the tiger army, so that the little devil did not completely collapse. In this way, the record this time was directly reduced by half, and Ren Chao naturally couldn't be happy. This kind of thing can never be done again, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is lost, and it will not be so easy to defeat the Guards Division in the future. After all, there are more than 10,000 little devils, and there are only a few thousand people in the Tiger Army, and there is a huge difference in strength.

"A little bit of success, one by one will be happy like this, look at your little bit of talent." Ren Chao had nowhere to vent a fire in his heart, so these officers under Ren Chao were unlucky.

The entire command room immediately quieted down, only Ren Chao's abuse remained, and after venting, Ren Chao held back a breath in his heart, and finally came out a lot, after a period of silence, Ren Chao waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, what should you do, why do you go, when the little devil wakes up, it will inevitably be another vicious battle." ”

Where did the generals dare to say anything, one by one they walked out of the command room, and after everyone left, the chief of staff, who had always been immersed in studying the map, raised his head and said softly, "Your Excellency, don't be angry, the brothers have done their best, after all, there are more than 10,000 little devils, and they are all the elite of the Japanese army, and it is not easy to achieve such a record." I know adults are anxious, but everything has to be done step by step. ”

Ren Chao sighed helplessly and said, "I don't know this, it's just that the situation is urgent now, and seeing the little devils trampling on my territory, I'm really anxious!" Our country has already suffered too much, and the people are already miserable, and we must do everything we can to drive out the little devils. ”

"Don't be anxious, my lord, in two days at most, our second batch of troops will land in Jiaoao, and then we will have enough troops to try to defeat the Japanese Guards Division in one fell swoop, so that the initiative in the war will be completely in our hands, and it is only a matter of time before the Japanese army is defeated." Yang Jichang said as he said with a hint of yearning flashing in his eyes, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Ren Chao nodded slightly, "Now I only hope that the Qing army in the inland can resist for a while longer, forget about it, let's take care of the present first!" Saying that, Ren Chao walked up to Yang Jichang, and the two began to study the defense against the map.

After this battle, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, and most importantly, its morale was frustrated. Although the Tiger Army took the initiative to withdraw from the battle, the North Shirakawa Palace did not dare to attack rashly, for fear of falling into the Qing army's strategy of luring the enemy, and the low morale of the Japanese army was really not suitable for launching an attack immediately, so the two sides were stalemate for a day, and no large-scale battles broke out.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency Commander Dashan Yan has sent the latest order." The chief of staff walked up to Kita-Shirakawa Miyano and said respectfully.

"Read!" The fact that the North Shirakawa Palace can face like frost for a long time shows that His Royal Highness the Prince is now in a very unhappy mood, and it is no wonder that he lost the first battle, and was defeated head-on by the enemy who was only one-third of his own strength, and anyone who put such a thing on him would be very angry, let alone this arrogant royal family!

"Order your troops to do everything possible to eliminate the Tiger Ben Army in Jiaodong to ensure the safety of the locust army's logistical supply lines, and capture Jiaoao to prevent similar incidents from happening again......," the chief of staff said respectfully.

Beibaichuan Gong Nengjiu's face couldn't help but flash a trace of anger, "Pass the order, and the whole army will attack tomorrow!" ”

"Hay!" The chief of staff bowed in response.

"Boom! Rumble! The next day, the rumbling artillery of the Japanese army was the first to kick off the battle, and the Japanese concentrated all the artillery of the entire division and began to launch a fierce artillery bombardment of the positions of the Tiger Army.

For the sake of shame, Kita-Shirakawa Palace Nengjiu ignored the obstruction of his subordinates for a long time, and personally came to the front line to command the battle, looking at the position of the Tiger Ben Army filled with gunpowder smoke and flying artillery, Kita-Shirakawa Palace Nengjiu showed a long-lost smile. Kita-Shirakawa Palace ordered the artillery to launch the most fierce attack on the enemy's positions, regardless of the loss of shells. His purpose was very simple, that is, to use this kind of high-intensity artillery bombardment to also disintegrate the fighting spirit of the local area and boost the morale of his own side. Kita-Shirakawa Palace Nengjiu knew very well in his heart that his own side was more than twice as strong as the enemy's army, and in terms of combat effectiveness, his own side, as the most elite unit of the Great Japanese Empire, was only stronger than the enemy army, so no matter how he calculated, he had an absolute advantage, and the only flaw was that because of the previous battle, the Japanese army was frustrated and the morale was low. Kita-Shirakawa Palace naively thought that as long as the morale problem was solved, then they would win this battle.
