Chapter 1005: The Fall (I)

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" Mamasaharu's judgment was right, their wing had just emerged from the gap in the encirclement, and the position they were in had been shelled by the Wehrmacht.

Looking at the skyrocketing artillery fire on the position, Maeda's face turned pale. If they had withdrawn more than ten minutes or so, they would have struggled under Wehrmacht fire by now.

Mamasaharu's judgment was correct, but there were also mistakes. For example, he did not expect that his retreat had been discovered by Wehrmacht fighters, and the ground troops were constantly converging towards their positions.

Less than three kilometres after their withdrawal, they have already encountered at least five waves of IDF resistance. At first it was three or four hundred, then gradually increased to seven or eight hundred, and even the most recent one saw the appearance of about a thousand or so troops on the other side.

And these troops fought very treacherously, they did not withstand the attack of the Japanese army to the death. Rather, they constantly harassed, blocked, and delayed the pace of the Japanese attack.

"How many casualties?!" Mayaharu was now covered in gunsmoke, having just captured a position but had not seen a single enemy corpse.

Ma Yaqing did not dare to let the troops pursue, once she chose to pursue them on the spur of the moment, these troops would most likely fall into the encirclement of the enemy.

Now there are gunshots everywhere, and no one can tell where there will be an ambush. In order to be able to withdraw safely, Ma Yaqing could only let the troops keep looking in the direction of Dongying to advance.

Now that everything is disrupted, the two divisions of Ma Yaqing can't contact each other at all. The only force he was able to gather and control was the one wing he had in hand now.

But with this one team, it is extremely difficult to rush out. For example, now, Ma Yaqing's wing has only rushed out about three kilometers, and it has already lost more than 500 people.

Keep fighting. It won't be long before the entire wing will be lost in battle. This was still not the case with a large Wehrmacht.

"Maeda, you rush straight forward with your troops! Leave nothing to mind, I'll take care of the wounded and the jade-shattered Imperial warriors. As many people can rush out, it's ......"

After a long time, the pale-faced Jian Yaqing gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "I will take someone to break the queen!" As long as you rush to the bottom of Dongying Castle, you will be safe......"

"No! Your Excellency, Commander, it is up to you to lead us in our rush out. And I'm going to break it off! That's ......"

Maeda couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and immediately tried to stop it. But Masaharu raised her hand to stop Maeda's words. But he saw that Mayaqing glanced at the Japanese soldiers who were resting silently and said.

"We don't have a lot of options right now, and what we can withdraw is considered a victory." Mamasa looked at the silent Japanese soldiers. said: "As much as you can go, even if you can!" It's better than being stuck here......"

"After all, I am the commander of the Fourteenth Army, and I should be responsible for this matter. So, Maeda! It's good for you to obey orders......" As she spoke, Ma Yaqing's tone became a little desperate: "I only hope." After I die in battle, those families in the empire will be treated kindly......"

Maeda didn't say anything when he heard this, he just bowed silently to Mayaharu and said, "Your Excellency, I now begin to think that General Shan's opinion is right, we shouldn't choose to go to war with China......"

Maeda surprisingly did not refer to China as "China", but chose to call it "China" directly. This is extremely rare for a high-ranking officer of the Japanese Army.

Ever since Japan had been reaping war dividends and ambitions had begun to swell before World War I, the tide in the military department had doomed them to despise China and try to annex it by all means.

Maeda ...... Actually, you said it. That's what I'm going to say......" Ma Yaqing sighed and said, "We chose them as enemies, which is extremely wrong...... But this kind of mistake we have to make. ”

Mayaharu looked at Maeda and said, "Asia is only that big. And China is just too big. History has proven countless times that once the country becomes a permanent regime, the whole of Asia and even the Middle East will be overshadowed by it......"

With that, Ma Yaqing stood up and turned her gaze to the gradually dark night. That direction is in the direction of China.

"Although reluctant to admit it. But in fact, our Great Sun Empire can only be regarded as a second-class power among the nations. In terms of resources, industrial capacity, and diplomacy, many times it is still under the constraints of Europe and the United States. ”

"We want to get out of this awkward identity. Then there is only one way to expand and become a first-class power! But this road is not easy to follow, and we need a lot of resources, manpower, and material resources to support the competition between us and them. ”

Saying that, Jian Yaqing sighed and said, "And China is the greatest difficulty in front of us. Even if you don't want to admit it, once China is stabilized, the Japanese empire will lose its influence in Asia and even the world...... They're too big and too powerful......"

"Your Excellency, I think you are wrong." Maeda frowned and said, "If China is really that strong, then why did they lose to us in the Sino-Japanese War?!" Thus reduced to a semi-colonial, warlord warlord country?! If they were really that powerful, they shouldn't be. ”

Masaharu is known as the "poet general" in the Japanese army, and he has his own research on painting, history and learning. And when he heard Maeda's words, he couldn't help but smile mockingly.

"Maeda...... Do you think that the war between our Great Japanese Empire and China only started in modern times?! Let me tell you, in fact, we have not stopped fighting with China since the Sui Dynasty. From the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even to the Republic of China and coalition governments, we have tried to defeat China and gain a voice in Asia. ”

After a pause, Ma Yaqing sighed and said, "But except for the end of the Qing Dynasty, we have not succeeded at other times." In the Tang Dynasty, the Onimuro Fushin assisted Goguryeo in trying to stop the Tang Dynasty's attack at that time. But we failed, and it was a fiasco. In the following ten years, we took a defensive position, built a large number of beacon towers in the western part of the state and the northern part of Kyushu, and arranged heavy troops to defend it, lest the Tang people attack our ......."

"During the Ming Dynasty. We have also tried to attack China. We used to carry out some exploratory attacks in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region and in what is now North Korea. But we can find out from history ......"

Ma Yaqing smiled bitterly and said, "We failed. Qi Jiguang and the others wiped out all our tentative forces, while Li Rusong repelled 150,000 of us in Korea. ”

Saying that, Jian Yaqing sighed and said: "Obviously, we have already occupied the whole of Korea at that time, if it wasn't for Wanli sending troops, then North Korea would belong to us." It is a pity that they used more than 50,000 men and more than 100,000 Korean coercive troops to repel the elite troops drawn by His Excellency Toyotomi Hideyoshi from Korea......"

The rest of the words were not spoken, but Maeda also knew. But many Chinese themselves do not know that Yuan Shikai, who was scolded the most, once defeated the Japanese army in Korea and directly defeated the Japanese army who tried to stage a coup d'Γ©tat to occupy Korea.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" A burst of artillery fire drowned out the conversation between the two, and all the resting Japanese soldiers quickly stood up and grabbed the weapons at hand.

Masaharu and Maeda swooped forward. Raised the telescope and began to observe. However, I saw that about a large group of Japanese troops appeared in the telescope, and they were being attacked by the Wehrmacht on their positions.

The Japanese corpses were strewn all over the field, and the whole position looked crumbling. Ma Yaqing put down the binoculars with a gloomy face, and ordered to the adjutant beside her: "Rush over immediately and help them repel those Wehrmacht!" ”

"Hail!!" The adjutant answered. However, after more than ten minutes, the Japanese troops below had already been prepared, and then rushed towards the Japanese positions in front.

The Japanese position was surrounded on all sides by the Wehrmacht, and the makeshift fortifications had already been bombarded several times by artillery fire. Even the entire ground was warmed by bullets.

"Assault!!" With a strange cry from Mamasaharu's subordinate brigades, a large group of Japanese troops rushed towards the Wehrmacht's position.

And in this attack, the Japanese army unexpectedly smoothly attacked the positions of the Wehrmacht. Almost without any hindrance, they broke through to the positions of the Japanese troops in the position.

"Hahaha...... These squirrels are finally in the urn! Tighten the encirclement now, and don't run anymore! If you want to run again, I'll choke you all and die! Gu Liangmin laughed, just now he saw that this army should be the main force of the Japanese army.

It's a pity. At that time, the 188th Army was busy cutting the long snake formation of the Japanese army, and at the same time, it also needed to take into account the encirclement and annihilation. There really wasn't too much force to accommodate the 3,000-strong wing.

Although Gu Liangmin squeezed more than 1,000 people out to block the attack in sections, he still gave Ma Yaqing and them more than three kilometers away. The route chosen by Ma Yaqing was very tricky, and there was no way for Ji to encircle this unit. This is not possible unless the number of troops is at least twice as high as theirs.

And it happened that a nearby Japanese army of more than 1,000 people was surrounded, so Gu Liangmin ordered them to surround the three and let this Japanese army join up with Mamasaharu.

At the same time, two nearby troops that had completed the task of annihilation were ordered to move over. On the other side of Masaharu, they complete the overall encirclement. Sure enough, Ma Yaqing jumped directly into the trap without much hesitation.

"Which team are you?! Who's the captain?! After rushing into the position, Maeda immediately shouted to the Japanese soldiers on the position.

But before anyone could answer him, the position was again shelled.

Maeda and others had to immediately hide in a makeshift artillery hole. Evade the shells fired by the Wehrmacht. They did not notice that groups of IDF soldiers had entered a newly established position just as they were dodging the shells. Ma Yaqing and the others have already been surrounded......

At this time, the convoy of the Japanese army in a mountain col more than ten kilometers outside Fenshan City was marching vigilantly. The cliff has been surveyed, but no one has been found hiding on it.

Sentry posts were set up around the perimeter to escort the convoy along the way.

Although Yu Aoki, the captain of the escort convoy, looks vigilant, he is actually in a much more relaxed mood. It's already very close to Fenshan.

It only takes about half an hour to get out of this col and reach Fenshan. Looking at the sky, you can reach Fenshan before it gets completely dark.

And once it gets dark, it is extremely dangerous for the convoy to march or station. If it weren't for that, Aoki wouldn't have risked passing through this cliff by taking this shortcut.

Finally about to finish, Aoki took a deep breath and ordered, "Everyone pay attention, now is the most critical time." As long as we cross this cliff, then we can reach Fenshan smoothly! I've already contacted the Fenshan side, and as soon as we get these shells there, we'll have the right to stay in the comfort station all night! Just us! ”

"Hail!! Thank you, Captain! The Japanese convoy resounded with cheers. Unlike other Japanese troops. Staying in the warehouse, they didn't have much opportunity to go to the comfort station.

In many cases, it's only when they rotate on vacation that they get a chance to pass. Now, all they have to do is arrive at Fenshan and there will be a comfort station that is completely theirs.

The Japanese soldiers let out a beastly howl.

"Comfort station?! Let's go to hell......" In the dense forest in the distance, the fourth child faintly heard the howls of those Japanese soldiers. He smiled coldly and pressed the button in his hand......

"Boom!! ......Just when these Japanese soldiers were extremely excited and proud, a huge roar made the mountain col where they were suddenly shake!

The violent explosion even shattered a lot of the glass in Fenshan City, and the drivers of the Japanese convoy in the col reflexively slammed on the brakes, and the entire convoy immediately stopped.

But before they could figure out the situation, they were horrified to see large swaths of earth and stones rolling down the cliffs on both sides! The dirt and rocks were smashing their heads and faces as they thought the convoy was smashing in. Many Japanese soldiers were buried alive or stoned to death before they even had time to scream.

Rumble...... Aoki was lucky, or unlucky, not to be buried alive or stoned to death by the dirt and rocks. He was desperately pushed to the roof of the car by his own adjutant, and was extremely lucky to escape the catastrophe.

But compared to this luck, Aoki would rather be buried alive or stoned to death! For he saw with his own eyes that his brigade of more than 1,000 men was wiped out without a fight.

Those soldiers who were guarding the cliffs. I'm afraid there are no bones left. With such a violent explosion, Aoki didn't think anyone would survive.

The Japanese soldiers below were even more miserable, buried alive after being stoned to death, or their lower bodies were smashed and crushed by huge stones, screaming continuously......

The whole valley became purgatory in an instant, the purgatory of the Japanese army.

Finished! Aoki's mind was almost blank now, and all that came to his mind was these two words. Almost all of the convoy was buried in this col.

Almost all of the motorcycles that were escorted were also buried. Except for Aoki. There are less than twenty living people here. It also included several Japanese soldiers who were screaming incessantly.

"Whoosh...... Burst! "Out of nowhere, a throwing knife flew and pierced Aoki's hand. Aoki rolled straight out of the car, but was immediately grabbed by two men who appeared out of nowhere, and removed the joints of his arms, knees, and jaws.

Aoki was completely immobile at this time, and he watched in horror as the men who came out of nowhere mended all the Japanese soldiers who were alive or did not seem to be dead.

They move with pride. It's like an old bandit. Every time the knife is slashed, the throat is cut directly and very lightly. Some are holding a diamond-shaped military thorn and stabbing it directly into the back of the head.

Others were scattered around the secret tasks of the Japanese army, such as search for mail and radio stations.

"Since this guy can survive, he shouldn't be a small person. Take it back and ask for it, it's good to be able to pull out something. A man with a colorful face on his face commanded the people around him with his skillful middle: "Clean up the battlefield as soon as possible." It is estimated that the explosion just now has alarmed the people of Fenshan. They will be there soon. ”

"Yes!!" The other men whispered, and then quickened their hands and feet. Aoki looked at his soldiers with horror and coldness. It's like pigs and dogs being slaughtered by these men.

This reminded him of the soldiers of the state who had been slaughtered by him like pigs and dogs. Aoki served in China, but he was fortunate enough to be repatriated after the Battle of Songhu.

Therefore, like other Japanese troops, they were not beaten by the Wehrmacht and lost their armor. At this time, Aoki thought of the soldiers of the national government who were slaughtered by him.

At the time, there was despair in their eyes. Aoki wondered if his eyes were full of despair now......

This is retribution...... Aoki's heart was gloomy, he didn't believe in this before. The Army's teachings make it natural to believe that the strong are inherently entitled to humiliate the weak.

And when you become weak, you will know that this kind of humiliation will make people extremely desperate. Aoki understood it, so he was even more desperate. Now he can't even kill himself, and he believes that these people will torture him in ways he can't think of.

Because, he's done it before. For those soldiers who were captured by him. But now, the role has been changed to the torturer, and it has become him......

And when the search team arrived in Fenshan, they were left with a mess all over the ground. At the scene where the team had already evacuated, Niwa Yuki, the leader of the search team, looked at the buried convoys and roared loudly: "Quick! Dig up all these weapons! Fast!! ”

PS: It's a bit stuck today...... It took half a day to trim before 5,000 words came out...... I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
