Liangjiadian, the headquarters of the 1st Division.

Lieutenant General Genji stood at the top of Mount Tai on the southwest side of the town, his eyes intently watching the troops rolling by the road below.

More than a month ago, he also stood in the same place, witnessing the black torrent like a steel train moving vigorously forward, filled with a high-spirited air that was enough to shatter a qiē barrier, running towards Jinzhou. At that time, his heart was full of pride, and he even thought of writing a poem to express his generosity.

But now, he had to witness a completely different scene.

Thousands of soldiers, anxious as lost dogs, struggling to drag their weapons and heavy steps, ran wildly across the rugged and snow-covered roads, one high and the other low. That's not running for victory and light, they're running for their lives!

Fighting spirit, gone. Spirit, gone. Joy is gone, and even the tragic and decisive decision that is willing to die in battle without even victory, is gone!

They are like a group of refugees who only know how to run along the road, trying to run faster than the people around them, so as to avoid the enemy who is being pursued behind them. No one can muster up the courage to go back and fight to the death, to fight for more respite for the others, just because all their will to fight has already been crushed!

"Imperial warriors, why is this so!"

Yamachi Genji almost burst into tears, only to feel a wave of depression and anger surging in his chest, conflicting, trying to find an outlet but couldn't get it, the restlessness almost broke through his flesh and skin, and exploded!

There seemed to be a faint sweetness in his throat, and he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it. The red blood stains immediately soaked the snow-white gloves.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!"

The next big temple Yasujun Osa is terrified! Hurriedly stepped forward to support the division commander. Concerned stared at his sallow face. Anxiously shouted: "Your Excellency! Don't get angry with your body! The army is suffering from temporary difficulties, and it is forgivable for the soldiers to expose some potential problems, and we can still put ourselves in order before continuing to fight. At such a critical moment, you must not fall! ”

Yamachi Genji took off his gloves, rubbed it and threw it aside, swallowed the blood that began to smell fishy in his mouth, and said hoarsely: "I will never fall down like this!" There is no need to worry. ”

Having said that, his weak body shivered in the cold wind. The face that could not be seen at all was deeply betrayed by the paleness inside him.

Chief of Staff Yasumi Oji felt a sense of shame in his heart, but when his eyes fell on the troops below, he lost even the power to blame himself.

Once upon a time, the Imperial Army troops would be defeated in a panic! That's not just a retreat, it's a way to run for your life! How many years has it been since something like this happened?

It would be nice if there was a little order, but look at what they look like. Soldiers and officers, wrapped in a mess of warm clothing, some of which had been ripped from local civilians. Some hides that have not been nitrated!

There are also tattered quilts and fabrics of various colors. I don't know where to remove the sack pieces, and there are even some things that no one can say what they are, wrapped around them haphazardly. In short, as long as they can resist a little cold and add a layer of protection, they are tied horizontally and vertically with ropes.

It looks like a dirty pig that has come out after rolling in the mud and running into the haystack!

Or, maybe it's a group of armed people called Hanako.

Shame, shame! The Imperial Army, which represented the vanguard of the Oriental race into civilization, once became the favorite costume of almost the entire Japanese people, and the students were proud to wear similar clothes from an early age. Now, all those majestic images have been destroyed by them!

Oji Yasu's innocence could not have imagined what a strong repercussion such a bad appearance would cause after it was transmitted back to China. I'm afraid that at that time, His Excellency the Division Commander and himself, and even many officers of the First Division, could only apologize in shame?

Fortunately, the reporters who accompanied the army were very smart and would never take out paintbrushes and paper to work on the spot at this time. Since the crushing defeat a month earlier, they have had no interest in depicting the killing and wounding of their own soldiers.

Are they still looking forward to creating again after a victory? Now, it seems that there are not many opportunities.

A bowl of hot rice soup was served, and the sparse one could almost show the figure of a person. But at this time, it is an extremely rare delicacy for the Japanese army, and one bite can increase the heat that can support a person to run out for several kilometers.

Yamachi Motoji took it, but he didn't drink it right away, he looked at it in a daze for a while, and then turned around and asked Oji Yasumun: "Can you guarantee a bowl of hot soup for all the soldiers of the army?" ”

Oji Yasujun shook his head very honestly: "It's very difficult. Your Excellency, we have long run out of food, and if we don't have the pursuers, we may be able to make a fire and cook as much as possible. But now such a situation ....... ”

Yamachi Motoji waved his hand: "Needless to say." Leave it to the wounded soldiers. ”

There is no doubt that the rice soup will be sent back, although if it continues along the way, it will inevitably become a cold lump, and it will be difficult to reheat it. But his attitude still showed it.

Oji Yasujun trembled with emotion, clenched his fists and screamed, "Your Excellency! You must ensure that your body, the soul of the 1st Division must not fall lightly! ”

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a hint of arrogance and stubbornness: "I'm not so easily knocked down. Daji-kun, immediately organize a group of forces to build a defense here, even if it is death, it is necessary to buy more time for the troops to disengage. We won't give in the towel! ”

"Hay!" Oji Yasumi bent down deeply.

Ten kilometers away, Liujiadian.

Yang Hao and Shi Jianfei entered the dilapidated village occupied by the Japanese army for more than a month.

After the last raid, the Japanese repeatedly reinforced a large number of fortifications in this area, and various bunkers built on the ruins of the wall were scattered in a radius of one kilometer. But they were all abandoned under the devastating attack, which barely played much use.

It was not that the fortifications were useless, but that the Japanese completely lost the courage to fight, and they showed their inner cowardice. Start running for the road!

Inside and outside the fortifications. Both sides of the road. There were dead bodies everywhere, as well as many soldiers who had surrendered. To Yang Hao's surprise, there were hundreds of people!

He also understood now that the Japanese army at this time was far from being the devil that would swell rapidly after the victories over China and Russia decades later. Now they have not yet accumulated the belief that they will win in their hearts. Especially as soon as he shot, he was intercepted and blocked three times and twice, which made the Japanese army always jealous and awe-inspiring. Even if Youpeng in Shan County won the battle of Jiangfang, it was just adding a sense of arrogance. Soldiers at the bottom. Still apprehensive.

Yang Hao's new military facts proved their concept of "China is very strong", so a month later, the collapse occurred, and the surrender was not unexpected.

The previous three or five were all killed, and now there are hundreds of captives in the formation, do they still have to deal with them like that?

The old man Xu Bangdao had the idea of going to Beijing to sacrifice prisoners in his heart. If you can escort hundreds of Japanese prisoners back in front of everyone, you will not only be personally summoned and rewarded by the emperor, but also be glorious and known to the world.

Shi Jianfei started from the so-called chivalrous demeanor of Western countries. Soldiers who lay down their arms should be treated well.

Yang Hao had different answers to them. To Xu Bangdao, he meant more tactfully: "We have received enough honors." If you go down any longer, you will become the target of everyone, and it will be too much. ”

The whole army is losing, and it's good to get a bunch of heads to go back with a bunch of people alone. Many live Japanese soldiers were escorted to Beijing, wouldn't that make other people completely shameless?

Xu Bangdao woke up and had to accept the reality. Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, he has a lot of age and can't be promoted, but he doesn't get any benefits, but he provokes a bunch of potential enemies for his children and grandchildren. That's not pretty.

Yang Hao's statement to Shi Jianfei is much more straightforward: "In my place, only dead devils are good devils." The Japanese nation can never be cultivated and trained, and as long as he has the opportunity and ability, he will always jump up and bite anyone around him. No matter how great their kindness is, they will take it for granted, and turn the crisis born on the volcanic island into an excuse to invade the surrounding countries and enslave other peoples. The best way for such a group of beasts, who have no tolerance at all, let alone mercy and morality, is to let them perish! ”

When he spoke, he was full of hatred from the bottom of his heart, which made Shi Jianfei involuntarily shiver. What a lot of resentment accumulation must be this, how much does Yang Hao hate the Japanese, and when did he end up with hatred?

Shi Jianfei was very faithful to his identity, so he didn't say anything more on this issue.

As a result, hundreds of surrendered Japanese soldiers soon became live targets for recruits to train their courage. Yang Hao was very rational and didn't practice bayonets with living people like devils, but just let the soldiers shoot them with rifles. His troops can be bloody and murderous, but they must not become beasts. Since ancient times, in the military history of the world, all troops that have become wild beasts will eventually harm others and themselves, and will collapse and collapse after quickly climbing to the top.

The teacher of the king, the benevolent is invincible.

After the first wave of fierce battles, the three regiments were overexcited, and their fighting spirit was fully aroused, and when they arrived at Liujiadian, they were ordered by Yang Hao to hold down and rest on the spot, and the mature regiment continued to carry out the pursuit mission.

After all, most of the three regiments were new recruits, and it was difficult for them to fight calmly for a long time. However, pursuit warfare is a great test of self-control, and in the face of various complex environments, endless attacks and obstructions, flexibility and combat experience are very important.

They can't even tell which are the traps that lure the enemy in, and rushing forward will only do bad things.

A regiment is much better, they are battalions as units, and they can ensure that nothing is missed in a steady attack. The company and platoon cooperate with each other properly, and the communication equipment is also advanced, so they can respond to each other at any time and will not be cut off and killed by the Japanese army's counterattack.

In addition, Yang Hao's pursuit order is also demanding, he does not want to drive the devil to the garden mouth in one go, but to pass through the two hundred miles of snow and practice a bunch of dogs alive!

"When you drive a dog into a poor alley, the dog will go crazy and bite back. That would lead them to a desperate counterattack with no way out. We don't need to bear that kind of casualties. ”

Yang Hao's explanation to all the officers was very clear: "The tactic of a regiment of pursuit is to always maintain a strong oppressive attack. Resolutely and quickly destroy any enemy who stays behind to block it with the most powerful firepower! Then chase after the ass of the Japanese soldiers, let them huddle together, and create mass panic! But it is necessary to grasp the stickiness, let them run wild for a while, and have a little time to rest, but not enough to slow down, eat and sleep. ”

This method is like fishing. The big fish that has been hooked may have pulled the fish's mouth directly, and the hands are empty.

As long as the fish is loosened and tightened from time to time to give the fish a certain amount of room to struggle, it will eventually run out of energy and finally drag it up lightly.

But in Shi Jianfei's ears, this hand is vicious!

The most painful thing for a person is not to cut off his hands, feet and head with a knife, but to be tortured worse than death. Under the defeat of the Japanese army, if they take the road and run wildly, the only body they have will be exhausted and exhausted to death. If you can sleep for a while, you can freeze to death, eat something to survive, and you can relax and continue the struggle.

Yang Hao didn't give him this opportunity, just to let them only take a breath every time, but they couldn't eat, and they were hungry and kept on the verge of collapse! If you go on like this, you will either fall down and never get up again, or you will completely exhaust your strength and then completely disintegrate!

For a month, the mortars, who have been trained in precision strikes, will ensure that the Japanese army will not be able to make a fire and cook. Without heat supplementation, in such weather, the snow-covered road will become the Yellow Spring Road that swallows all the Japanese troops!

"I want all devils to have a good understanding of what pain is before they die! Let them, even if they have the next life, they will never dare to have any thoughts of invading China! ”

The murderous aura exuded by Yang Hao's words made all the officers tremble!

But they can understand the deep emotion. As a Chinese, the Celestial Empire in my bones feels indispensable, and I dare to offend such a small state as Japan, and I am very unhappy. Seeing that every village was empty along the way, and the inhabitants had either fled or been killed, such a brutal act also aroused the righteous indignation of the whole army!

If there is revenge, you have to take revenge!

No one objected to Yang Hao's approach, and with all the things he saw and heard, especially the hunters who ran out of the mountains to tell the sins of the Japanese army, no one in the whole army had the slightest pity for them. These brutes should all be killed!

The pursuit of the first regiment has been rotating continuously from the first day, and the third regiment followed closely behind to observe and replenish, clearing the remnants of the Japanese army that had been left behind.

They pursued only twenty miles a day, stopping and stopping, at a moderate pace, always following the butts of a large group of enemies, and the shells always fell on their side. So that the Japanese army could not stop and rest, they could only keep walking, walking, walking! Day and night, endlessly!

Five days later, the main force of the Japanese army arrived in Liujiatun. Genji Yamagi was about to organize his personnel to fight to the death, but then he was shocked to find that he had less than 3,000 troops left at his disposal! (To be continued......)
