Chapter 144: Angry Qin Yu
Not far west of Anda County, Yingshun and Ba Ying'e marched east with their troops, constantly complaining along the way that those bandits and bandits had the audacity to damage the railway, so that they could only walk to find the Japanese army.
The booming explosion came from the area of Anda County, which shocked Yingshun and the others very shocked, it is not easy to listen to the momentum, there is an army in front of it!
"Someone, go find out what's going on right away?" Yingshun was not sure if it was the Wehrmacht and the Japanese army fighting, could the vanished Wehrmacht have run in front of him?
Ba Ying'e shouted: "Order, prepare for battle immediately, it is very likely that there is our traitor Wehrmacht of the Qing Dynasty in front!" ”
Yingshun's army was also very alarmed when they heard the sound of these secret books and guns from afar, and even many soldiers were ready to flee, knowing that they had just come out of Longjiang City, but there was a war here, and if it was an ambush by the enemy, it would be over.
"My lord, is it possible that the bandits who are not long-sighted are attacking Anda County, and they just happened to run into the Japanese army, and the two gangs are facing each other?" An officer with a whip still on his hand guessed.
Yingshun and Ba Ying'e both fell into deep thought, it stands to reason that the bandits in Longjiang do not have such great ability to dare to provoke the Japanese army, and the Japanese army will not use such fierce artillery fire to deal with those bandits, but recently there have been a gang of lawless but powerful bandits, and it is really possible that they will be them.
"The whole army stopped and rested, and then continued until the accurate information was obtained, and the flames were extinguished, and they could not be exposed in advance!"
Yingshun knew that whether it was the Wehrmacht or the bandits, the strength of such a large battle must be not small, and he only had about 30,000 troops, coupled with the long journey, the soldiers were already tired, and joining the battlefield was simply going to die.
"Report, tell your lordship, the news from Longjiang City is out, Xu Lanzhou has retreated from Longjiang City, and is rushing in our direction with the army!" A cavalry quickly rushed to the two Yingshun who were watching the battlefield in front of them and thinking.
Ying Shun and Ba Ying glanced at each other, their eyes were more shocked, although they had already guessed the final result, but they didn't expect it to be so fast, in their opinion, even without them Xu Lanzhou should be able to support five days and eight days, but now it was beyond their expectations.
"What the hell is going on, how could Longjiang City be breached so quickly?"
"According to the news in the city, Li Jinglin was afraid of rebellion, so he opened the west gate of the city to let the rebels enter the city, but Longjiang was lost, and the specific reason is not clear!"
Ying Shun thought for a moment and said, "When will Xu Lanzhou and their gods catch up with us?" How many troops does he have? Yingshun hit Xu Lanzhou's idea, if Xu Lanzhou's troops were much smaller than his own, he wouldn't mind annexing Xu Lanzhou's army.
"I don't know, after they withdrew from Longjiang City, they also encountered an ambush by a national defense army, and it is estimated that they can escape in the end!"
Ba Ying'er and the two were very glad that they had left Longjiang City earlier, and they had not encountered any ambushes, if they had stayed there, it was very likely that they would have been killed by those rebels by now, after all, who would have thought that Xu Lanzhou's henchman Li Jinglin would be a traitor and make Xu Lanzhou so miserable.
"The situation is a little bad, Longjiang City has been breached, then the next goal of those rebels will be us, but there is still a war in front of us, whether to wait for Xu Lanzhou to go along or for us to take a detour and bypass that battlefield!" Ba Ying's forehead whispered.
Ying Shun Zou frowned and said, "Don't be in a hurry first, wait for the scouts in front to come back and continue to talk about this, Xu Lanzhou won't be able to catch up with us for a while!" ”
No matter how fierce the battle ahead was, the army of Yingshun and the others just didn't dare to continue to advance, afraid that they would be dragged into the battlefield, and they were nervous in rest.
More than an hour later, the soldiers who had gone to investigate finally returned, and hurriedly ran to Yingshun and Ba Ying'e and knelt down to report.
"Report to my lord, we just caught a deserter, it is from the Wehrmacht, their army was ambushed by the Japanese army, and they are fighting against the Japanese army, and the defense in the rear is very weak!"
"What, are you sure that those rebels are fighting with the Japanese army, and they have been ambushed by the Japanese army, and the rear is very empty?" Young-soon asked again and again in disbelief.
"Yes, my lord! National defense...... The rebels were ambushed by the Japanese army, and the losses were strict, and the forces in the rear were indeed weak! ”
The two never thought that they would have such an opportunity, it was simply the favor of God, if the national defense forces here were annihilated, their prestige in Longjiang would surpass that of Xu Lanzhou, and they would also be valued by Fusang, and Longjiang Province would be theirs in the future.
Yingshun and Ba Ying'er immediately gathered the officers to prepare for battle, and they were going to attack the rear of the rebels and flank the rebels with the Japanese army.
In order to attack the Wehrmacht as fast as possible, Yingshun and the others decided to attack, which meant that they had to advance with torches, which would give the Wehrmacht time to react. Yingshun and others believed that the Wehrmacht had been pinned down by the Japanese army, and there were no troops to defend the rear at all, and even if it was discovered by the Wehrmacht, it would not have any effect.
…………
"Quick, quick, retreat immediately, don't fight!"
News of the army's retreat soon spread throughout the area where the Wehrmacht was fighting, and more than 30 percent of the soldiers were reluctant to retreat, saying they would continue to fight here.
"Retreat, what's going on, didn't you just persuade those soldiers to come back, isn't it contradictory? How can I just walk away in such a gray way, I won't go! "The voices of skepticism brought the army's retreat to an impasse.
There is no such resolute intention to stay and fight among the officers, the situation in the whole field is very obvious, even if you don't retreat, you can't please it, after all, you have already fallen into the enemy's trap from the beginning, and you are one step at a time!
"What are you doing, doesn't you mean that you won't continue to fight devils in the future, what is the duty of a soldier, the retreat above must have its own plan, don't you know the current retreat?" Xu Yuan shouted at the soldiers who were unwilling to leave and insisted on staying to avenge their comrades.
The soldiers were silent, and they knew a little bit about what Xu Yuan said, but they just couldn't swallow it in their hearts.
"Retreat for me at once, and always remember today, we will have to return it sooner or later!"
Xu Yuan was also reluctant to retreat, but he had to obey the commander's orders, even if he knew that retreating was not good.
"Don't rub it off, it's almost time, kill a few more devils!"
In the rear of the army, Jiang Yiwu and they were ready, and before leaving, they would give some small gifts to the Japanese army and the rebels, that is, to lay a large number of mines in the rear, and the empire equipped them with a large number of mines.
Jiang Yiwu: "The soldiers' complaints about the retreat, you can explain more, this is a last resort, retreat to the north!" ”
"Yes, mission guaranteed!"
………………
"Report, the people of China are preparing to retreat!" The officer walked up to Ihara and said.
Ihara picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the Wehrmacht, and under the light of the artillery fire, he could see groups of Wehrmacht soldiers retreating to the rear.
"Speed up the attack, annihilate them as best you can, abandon the plan of division and encirclement, and concentrate the attack from the center and the left and right flanks!"
"Yes!"
Ihara suddenly stopped and looked into the distance of the Wehrmacht, and then ran up to the side of the ground a little higher, and the dense torches not far behind the Wehrmacht directly scared him.
"Bastard, what's going on behind the Chi Na people, what are you all doing, let people investigate immediately!"
A few officers nearby were also dumbfounded when they heard this, they hadn't seen those torches just now, what the hell! Several other officers were running towards them, presumably seeing this and rushing to report.
Ihara also had some guesses about that army in his heart, and now there is only Xu Lanzhou in Longjiang Province who still has the strength to come up with so many troops, but Xu Lanzhou does not have the strength to come here at all, so he can only be a reinforcement from the Zhina army. But since the Chinese army has reinforcements but retreats, is it tempting to concentrate its forces there, and then solve itself with the help of reinforcements?
However, Ihara soon strengthened his confidence, even if it was a reinforcement from the Shina people, the strength would plummet after a long march, and he did not need to be afraid of a group of exhausted Shina troops.
The Japanese army's three-way concentrated operation made the Wehrmacht artillerymen very excited, and they frantically dumped shells in these directions, and several gun barrels exploded due to excessive temperatures. The main reason why the artillery was so crazy was that the commander ordered all the cannons to be blown up after the retreat, because they were too quick to retreat and couldn't take the cannons with them.
Half an hour later, the Wehrmacht retreated, the Japanese army was chasing closely behind, and Yingshun and the others were dumbfounded when they arrived, there was only a pile of burning materials at the scene, and in the dark night, they were almost considered to be the Wehrmacht and had done it with the Japanese army, so depressed that they almost vomited blood.
"Your Excellency General, the direction of the retreat of the Chinese people found a large number of Chinese troops, which are from the north, will our army continue to pursue?"
As the sky gradually became clearer, the Japanese army was still closely following the Wehrmacht, and when they were about to catch up, they found another branch of the Chinese army in front of them.
"Retreat, retreat now!"
The Japanese officer, who was pursuing the Wehrmacht, saw that the reinforcements of the Chinese army were more than their total strength, and then decisively withdrew.
Jiang Yiwu's army met Han Ming's army heading south, and soon everything was reported to Qin Yu as it was.
…………
In the Central Garden, Qin Yu was very angry with the telegram sent by Han Ming and Jiang Yiwu, the 100,000 army was only a little more than 30,000 troops, and the commander was killed in battle, this was the first time that the empire had suffered such a big loss since leaving the northeast, it was simply a shame!
What Qin Yu couldn't accept the most was that the intelligence department under his personal control was likely to have a traitor, and Anda's fiasco was all directed at the intelligence department, and the battle plan was completely grasped by the Japanese army.
Qin Yu threw the telegram in front of Zhou Yang, the head of the intelligence department, and said angrily: "I believe you also know about Anda's failure, I want to know who is involved in it, and I want the result in three days!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhou Yang walked out without saying a word.
Qin Yu looked at this student who he taught by himself, and was very entangled, maybe it was time for someone else to come to this position. On the same day, the Imperial Daily reported on the defeat of the 18th Army of the Wehrmacht, and regretted Xiong Kewu's martyrdom.
Han Ming and Duan Qirui, who were rushing to Longjiang Province, and the others all received a private telegram from Qin Yu, asking them to take Longjiang Province and annihilate the Japanese army in a short period of time, leaving no prisoners!
