Chapter 86: Feint into a rout!
Looking at everyone's expressions, Ren Chao couldn't help but smile and said, "The purpose of war is to win, and to achieve victory at any cost!" But sometimes defeat is for the sake of victory! ”
Sun Huazhong and the others couldn't help but scratch their heads, still a little bit unclear. Ren Chao smiled and patted Sun Huazhong on the shoulder and said, "Your task is to bring in the little devils, as for how to eliminate the little devils, then leave it to us!" Saying that, Ren Chao pointed to the sand table and began to arrange specific combat tasks.
The next morning, the industrious little devil got up early, and the sun had just emerged from the horizon when the rumbling cannon rang out. The artillery shells whistled out a cloud of artillery fire on the position, and the raging artillery fire, heavy gunpowder smoke, and flying dust soon enveloped the entire position.
"The little devil is really willing to pay for it!" Ren Chao said with a sigh. Stretched out his hand and handed the binoculars to the guards beside him, and casually ordered, "Order all departments, one qiē according to the original plan!" ”
"Yes!" The herald answered, turned and strode away.
On the Japanese position, Sato Shodai waved the command knife in his hand and rushed forward
Thousands of little devils immediately let out a howl like a ghost crying wolf, and rushed out towards the opposite position.
On the right-flank position, looking at the little devils rushing up like ants in the distance, even Sun Huazhong couldn't help but feel a tingling of his scalp, "Brothers! Get ready for battle! ”
"Is the general a real fight or a fake fight?" At this time, a general of the Dongxue Army next to him couldn't help but ask.
"Nonsense! Fake hits, of course! Sun Huazhong deliberately lowered his voice and said, "But it can't be too fake, so as not to fall into the prestige of our Dongxue Army!" Let the little devils know that we are awesome! ”
"Got it!" The generals answered, and then they went down to prepare.
"Call me! Hit hard! With Sun Huazhong's order, dense gunfire began to sound on the position, and the bullets flew towards the little devil like a torrential rain, and the little devil who rushed in front instantly fell a large piece.
The little devil's reaction was not slow, and after being blocked, he immediately began to shoot back. This time, the advantage of the devil was revealed, and the sophisticated weapons and the accurate shooting of the little devil gave Dongxuejun great damage. Even if the Dongxue Army had a position to cover, it would not be able to resist the fierce attack of the little devils.
"General! The casualties of the troops are gradually increasing, so let's retreat quickly! At this time, someone had already begun to persuade Sun Huazhong to retreat. Because in the hearts of these middle and low-level generals, since the commander has given the order to retreat, there is no need to sacrifice here in vain.
But Sun Huazhong didn't think so in his heart, and the Japanese army's contempt for the Dongxue Army made Sun Huazhong very angry. Not only the Japanese Kou, but even the Tiger Benjun generally believed that the Dongxue Army had low combat effectiveness, which made the competitive Sun Huazhong have an extreme inferiority complex, but he did not give up, he desperately hoped to use a possible opportunity to express himself and prove to everyone that the Dongxue Army was not useless.
"No! That's it! What a shame! Inform the brothers, resist me, even if this battle is to be lost, I will play the prestige of my Dongxue army! Sun Huazhong grabbed the man's collar and roared loudly.
"Yes!" The man was frightened by Sun Huazhong's momentum, and he dared to retreat again, so he could only agree again and again.
"Brethren! Resist Lao Tzu! Without Lao Tzu's order, anyone who dares to retreat without authorization will be executed on the spot! Sun Huazhong pushed the man to the ground and shouted loudly.
Under the encouragement of Sun Huazhong, the morale of the Dongxue Army has improved, but this time the little devil is also ruthless, regardless of the qiē rushed up to the position, although the resistance of the Dongxue Army gave the Japanese army great damage, but the Japanese commander Sato Masadazo as if he did not see it, still urged his soldiers to charge desperately.
The efforts of the Japanese army were not in vain, after a fierce battle, the Japanese army finally rushed to the position of the Dongxue Army, and at this time Sun Huazhong still did not give the order to retreat, the Dongxue Army could only fight to the death with the Japanese army, and the tragic white-knuckle battle broke out immediately.
"General Sun! Lord Ren orders your troops to withdraw from their positions and stop making fearless sacrifices! The herald finally found Sun Huazhong, who was covered in blood, on the battlefield and conveyed Ren Chao's order to him.
"What retreat did you say?" Sun Huazhong wiped the blood from his face and asked.
"Yes! Lord Ren orders you to retreat according to the original plan! The herald replied in the affirmative.
It was only then that Sun Huazhong remembered the strategic plan he had made last night, and looking at the chaotic battlefield, Sun Huazhong sighed helplessly, "Retreat!" This roar contains a lot of helplessness, because Sun Huazhong knows in his heart at this moment that according to the current development of the situation, even if Sun Huazhong does not retreat, the Dongxue Army will not be able to hold out for long, and the feint will soon evolve into a real rout, such an ending is really difficult for Sun Huazhong to accept, but Sun Huazhong is not an unreasonable person, for the sake of the overall situation, he can only temporarily put aside the dissatisfaction in his heart and retreat according to the plan.
As soon as the retreat order was issued, the soldiers of the Dongxue Army, who were only supporting to the death, lost the last trace of courage to resist, and turned around and fled one by one.
Seeing that the Dongxue army had been completely defeated, Sato Masadasa was even more excited, and commanded the troops to chase and fight all the way. Because the little devil's movement was too fast, the Dongxue army behind didn't have time to retreat, and the little devil killed him, and some of the Dongxue army even heard that the little devil was coming, and immediately began to flee for their lives regardless of it, and tens of thousands of Dongxue troops suddenly became a mess. On the road leading to Seoul, the bustling city was crowded with the defeated Donghak Army soldiers, and the routs were huddled together, trampling on each other and suffering countless casualties.
"Yo Xi! Big drop good! Katsura Taro couldn't help but shout excitedly when he saw that the Japanese army had successfully broken through the defense line of the Dongxue Army, "Order to immediately send a wing to attack the Tiger Army on the middle and left flank positions from the right flank breakthrough in a roundabout way, and the locust army will flank the front and rear, and wipe out the Tiger Army soldiers on the position in one fell swoop!" ”
"Hay!" The adjutant answered, and hurriedly ran down to deliver the order.
After receiving the order, he didn't dare to slack off and immediately sent troops to attack the Tiger Army, but when the Japanese army rushed to the position of the Tiger Army, they were surprised to find that the Tiger Army on the position had all disappeared!
"Yo Xi! These timid and humble Qing soldiers must have escaped! After receiving the report, Katsura Taro said coldly with a hint of contempt in his eyes, "Order the troops to continue to advance in the direction of Seoul!" ”
