Chapter 453: The True Situation in the City

Dongfang Bufu set up the headquarters of the Seventh Army Corps in the temporary place of the original First Regiment, which is about seven or eight miles away from the East City Gate.

And after Dongfang Bufu came here, the first regiment, which had been temporarily stationed here, took advantage of the situation and was ordered to attack and advance.

With the exception of the 1st Regiment, the other armies of the Seventh Army were all grouped in regimental units and advanced in all directions according to the established disposition.

At the same time as the Seventh Army launched the search operation, the Ninth Brigade of the Eighth Army Corps, which was responsible for blocking the four gates, was basically in place, and they occupied the other three gates in time, plus the east gate, which had been controlled by the Taiping army, and captured the four gates of Kaicheng in the hands of the Taiping army in one fell swoop.

Speaking of the Eighth Army's seizure of the other three gates, it was a bit complicated.

Before the capture of the other three gates, in addition to the east gate has been completely controlled by the Taiping army, the other three gates are also occupied by the Japanese army, the more critical problem is that the movement of the Japanese army in the city is unknown, if the Taiping army wants to attack from the city to occupy the other three gates, it is a bit impossible, so, the best way can only be out of the east gate first, and then along the city wall from the other three gates outside the city to attack the city, but, if the city is tough, it will inevitably drag on for a long time, which is not conducive to the action of the entire army, so, The Taiping Army used this qiē to use a killer weapon.

Tian Xiaoer mobilized the special operations team, yes, in addition to the three main army corps among the troops who came to North Korea with Tian Xiaoer this time. There is also a special operations team, and the purpose of the special operations team is to solve intractable diseases for the army.

So, here comes the opportunity.

The Taiping Army took advantage of the innate advantages of the special operations team to break through the other three city gates in one fell swoop, and then let the Ninth Brigade of the Eighth Army enter the city, and then, the three regiments of the Ninth Brigade controlled the three city gates respectively.

This is how the trend of closing the door and beating the dog has been formed.

And in the city, the Seventh Army Corps, which had already launched an operation, cast a large net under the command of Dongfang Bufu, and while slowly collecting the net, they began to salvage the big and small fish in the "pool".

After a period of probing, the first regiment of the Seventh Army encountered the Japanese army, however. They were ambushed by the Japanese army.

There are traps everywhere. There are ambushes everywhere.

Fortunately, the first regiment was not in vain, they encountered this battle, the battle was not chaotic, in the unfavorable situation, relying on their own good suzhì, first solid defense, and then organize an effective counterattack, almost half a pillar of incense time, the first regiment from the passive counterattack gradually grasped the initiative. Slowly began to gain the upper hand, but. It was at this time. The Japanese suddenly stopped their attack, and they stopped fighting and ceased fighting. I don't know why.

In the face of such a situation, the first regiment was a little at a loss, they couldn't figure out what kind of plane the Japanese army was doing, but they knew that the Japanese army had always been cunning, so they did not dare to relax in the slightest, and at the same time on high alert, they immediately sent a search team forward to check the movements of the Japanese army, but the news fed back by the search team shocked the top management of the first regiment, and the Japanese army disappeared without a trace.

The commander of the 1st Regiment did not dare to slack off after receiving the report, and immediately reported the situation to the deputy marshal who commanded the army later and the acting commander of the 7th Army Corps.

Dongfang Bufu was also stunned when he first heard this letter, he couldn't guess what the Japanese army was doing, and just when he was puzzled, the army that was searching in other directions also sent back the news, their experience was exactly the same as the first regiment, they were also ambushed, and when they also had the upper hand, the Japanese disappeared in a daze.

Dongfang Bufu was completely confused, he didn't understand, what these Japanese soldiers wanted to do, he couldn't figure it out.

However, regardless of whether it is solved or not, this army still has to continue to move, so Dongfang Bufu strictly ordered all regiments of the army to be careful and vigilant in the process of advancing, and pay close attention to the sneak attack that the Japanese army may launch at any time.

However, although the Seventh Army Corps was careful, they were in the open, and the Japanese army was hiding in the dark to attack, this light and dark, the difference is very big, so the Taiping Army can be said to be in danger all the way, and the Japanese army's behavior of stealing chickens and dogs is unguardable, they were wounded and killed, and lost a lot of people.

Dongfang is not confused, so he is so anxious that he screams, he hates to dig out these little Japan from the shadows, cramp and peel the skin, cut his heart and lungs, and only in this way can he solve the hatred in his heart.

However, hatred is hate, Dongfang is not confused and can't find any good way to deal with the sneak attack of these disgraceful rats, the only thing he can do is to strictly order the army to be careful and then be careful.

Of course, the Taiping army also encountered a lot of Japanese troops along the way, and also injured some Japanese soldiers, but among these Japanese troops they encountered, the number of Japanese soldiers in each group was mostly more than 10 people, and the maximum number was no more than 30 people, which made the Seventh Army feel a little bit like holding aircraft artillery to fight mosquitoes.

As the battle deepened, the Seventh Army advanced faster and faster, and the positions of the various city gates became closer and closer, and the Japanese army seemed to have nothing to hide.

However, the more he came to this time, the more uneasy Dongfang Bufu became, he always felt that the Japanese army did not look like they were going to fight a decisive battle with the Taiping army, and they seemed to just want to slow down the Taiping army's advance as much as possible.

If this is the case, then the problem is strict, which shows a problem, the main force of the Japanese army is no longer in the city, and these Japanese troops may have already withdrawn.

Thinking of this, Dongfang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if this is the case, then these Japanese soldiers are really too cunning.

Thinking of this, he sent a letter to the Eighth Army guarding the gate of the city through a special channel in accordance with the original agreement with Tian Xiaoer, asking them to immediately send people out of the city to reconnoiter and focus on finding out the movements of the main force of the Japanese army, and on the other hand, he notified Tian Xiaoer, who was waiting for news at the headquarters of the coalition forces, to report his latest judgment to him.

Soon after the news of Dongfang Bufu was sent, he saw the dust rise behind him, and the earth began to tremble.

There is no doubt that most of the Sixth and Eighth Army Corps led by Tian Xiaoer have arrived.

After receiving Tian Xiaoer, Dongfang Bufu explained the current situation in detail, Tian Xiaoer thought about it for a while, and made a conclusion about this matter, nine times out of ten, it can be determined that the main force of the Japanese army has abandoned the city and fled, and only a small group of Japanese troops remained in the city, and their purpose is to drag down the main force of the Taiping Army, so that they do not have enough time to pursue the retreating main force of the Japanese army.

By this time, the motives of the Japanese army were already clear.

What to do? Everyone turned their inquiring eyes to Tian Xiaoer.

Tian Xiaoer waved his hand and ordered, the Seventh Army continued to clear the remnants of the enemy in the city and was responsible for the defense of Kaesong, the headquarters of the coalition army also stayed in Kaesong, and Wang Xiaoyong was temporarily responsible for handling the affairs of the first qiē coalition army, while Tian Xiaoer personally led the majority of the Sixth and Eighth Army Corps out of the city to pursue the main force of the Japanese army.

Once they are clear, they can't have any more hesitation, although they know that it's too late to chase after them at this time, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they can't give up.

And when Tian Xiaoer proposed to pursue the main force of the Japanese army, Dongfang was not confused and stood up and said that he wanted to lead the army to chase after Tian Xiaoer, but Tian Xiaoer refused, saying that this time, he must chase in person.

Maybe, this time, the Japanese army really provoked Tian Xiaoer.

After Tian Xiaoer finished explaining the relevant matters, he hurriedly led the army to chase the main force of the Japanese army that had fled.

Dongfang Bufu led the Seventh Army to stay behind and continue to clear the remnants of the Japanese army in the city.

After basically making it clear that the remaining Japanese troops in the city were the remnants of the enemy, Dongfang Bufu was full of confidence, and he had every reason to believe that it would be a piece of cake to deal with the remnants of the Japanese army with one of his legions.

And at this time, he finally had a little impression of the tactics adopted by these remnants of the Japanese army, it should be that kind of what, he seemed to have heard Huang Xu talk before, what is it called guerrilla tactics, that is, if you can win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will run, in the case of the difference in the strength of the enemy and us, try to avoid confrontation with a strong enemy, shoot a shot to change a place, let the enemy run for his life, and in the process as much as possible to use the favorable form shì to kill and injure the opponent's living force.

And this tactic was applied to the city, it was called urban guerrilla warfare, and it was obvious that the Japanese army adopted the tactics of urban guerrilla warfare this time.

Fortunately, he woke up early, otherwise, he would really be dragged here by the Japanese army's urban guerrilla tactics, although they still woke up a little late, but after all, they didn't know until the end, which was a blessing in misfortune.

Dongfang Bufu breathed a sigh of relief, leaving a part of the army to guard the headquarters of the coalition army, and then, he led his personal guards to the place where the first regiment was located, he went to see which group of Japanese troops was so annoying, and actually played such a trick on him Dongfang Bufu, he must let them remember it for a long time, and let them understand that he Dongfang Bufu is not so easy to play.

Dongfang Bufu stepped on his horse with a dark face and chased in the direction of the first regiment. (To be continued......)
