Chapter 39: The ambush fails

Wang Guorui asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and then ambushed again, and then asked Liu Feng to continue to send personnel to reconnoiter whether anyone was coming in front. Liu Feng soon sent a reconnaissance unit to take charge of the reconnaissance, and twelve hours later, someone came back to report.

"Lord Wang, someone came back just now to report that a Japanese army about the size of a wing has approached. According to the flag, it seems to be the 1st Wing of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Guards Division. And they're coming to us, and in about three hours, they're going to be there! Liu Feng said.

Wang Guorui said: "Okay, this time we will try to defeat one of their wings, and then we will be enough to boost Taiwan's anti-Japanese morale!" ”

On the road to Hsinchu County, a Japanese wing lined up and walked forward, while wing commander Suzuki Matsutake commanded the soldiers in front to speed forward, apparently hoping to reach Tainan as much as possible and get the first credit. This is the credit for expanding the territory, and everyone wants to get it. They also know that this Taiwan has no forces that can stop them, so they can rest assured that they can occupy Taiwan, and they will not doubt that they can occupy Taiwan, after all, they have even defeated hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops!

"Speed up, this time the fourth wing in front actually ran in front of us, and sent a brigade to grab credit without authorization, this time we are the first wing of the first brigade, how can we fall behind others? That Matsumoto really wanted credit and wanted to go crazy, and he ran away so fast. If we go late, we'll probably not even be able to drink the soup! Suzuki Matsutake said.

The Japanese army is not so united, and the army of any country has a situation of grabbing credit, whether it is benign or vicious, it is all zài. Even if it was the later revolutionary army, they all had the situation of grabbing credit, after all, only after meritorious service can they get honor! No country can avoid this situation. Some leaders even deliberately stimulated them, so that the army could be more meritorious. If the army is full of people who don't want to make meritorious contributions, it is really not far from the death of the country.

"Report, the 1st Guards Wing of the Japanese Army has arrived outside our ambush circle, but they really want to stop! They didn't move on, so we don't know what they would think! Liu Feng said.

"What? Did they stop? What kind of fame? Wang Guorui muttered.

And in the Japanese army, the wing commander of the 1st Guards Wing of the Japanese Army was also fighting an officer who seemed to have no more than a captain, but he actually quarreled with the wing commander here.

"Captain Suzuki, the terrain here is dangerous, and it is obviously the enclosure mentioned in Sun Tzu's Art of War. The mountains on one side and the sea on the other, form a narrow passage. If the enemy were to set up an ambush here, we would be in a situation where we were completely besieged. At that time, we were faced with being ambushed and suffering heavy losses. Therefore, I must send troops to reconnoitre, otherwise it will be very dangerous! The captain said.

And the wing captain Suzuki Matsutake said angrily: "Yamanashi Hanzo, don't think that you are the adjutant of the Governor's Palace, you can order me." I am the commander here, and now His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for us to open up the territory for him, if we waste time here, then how can we complete the merit of opening up the territory? But here you actually use the identity of the official of the Governor's Palace to order the soldiers to stop, so what do you mean by this? ”

But the Yamanashi Hanzo said, "Captain Suzuki, I have to warn you that the terrain here is not in our favor, and we must go through careful reconnaissance to get through Guò." If we rush in, it will be irresponsible to our Imperial Japanese Army. Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud......"

"Okay, don't say anything about the Art of War. Sun Tzu's Art of War is outdated, and although the Chinese have Sun Tzu's Art of War, haven't they been beaten by us to pay compensation? Therefore, Sun Tzu no longer needs to learn the Art of War, and to learn it is to learn our Five Wheels Book. ”

I have to say that the defeat of the Manchus this time made these Japanese officers very arrogant and looked down on China. And this situation is also the case in many foreign countries, they look down on China's qiē, and think that China is backward. So now this Suzuki Matsutake is obviously very unpleasant to hear that this Yamanashi Hanzo admires Sun Tzu's Art of War so much. After all, this is a Chinese thing, and the Chinese are their defeated men, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

"Captain Suzuki, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!" Hanzo Yamanashi said.

But Suzuki Matsutake said, "Didn't we have a brigade in front of us?" If they've been ambushed, they've been known for themselves. In this Taiwan, can anyone beat the soldiers of our brigade? One brigade is enough to sweep through Taiwan! So, since there is no problem with the brigade in front, how is it possible that we will be ambushed? ”

Suzuki Matsutake's statement was also not wrong, because he did not think that there were troops in Taiwan that could annihilate one of their brigades. What's more, even if it is to annihilate a brigade, it will take a certain amount of time. And Suzuki Matsutake never dreamed that the brigade in front of him would be completely annihilated in less than two hours. So because of such a fast speed, Suzuki Matsutake didn't expect that the brigade in front of him had been wiped out, and no news was exposed.

"General, it's better to be like this, you give me a team, and I'll personally lead people to reconnoitre. If there are no problems, I'll send a signal, and then Wing Commander you send a squadron over at a time. Then one squadron at a time had to come over to make sure there were no problems. Hanzo Yamanashi said.

"Okay!" Suzuki Matsutake said.

Suzuki didn't want to offend the adjutant of the governor's palace, after all, people were people close to high-ranking officials, and if he offended the leader's close people, he would be looking for trouble. The ancients all said that Hades is aggressive, and imps are difficult. So this adjutant is not easy to offend, if he says anything to the governor of Taiwan, Kayama Shiki, then his own wing captain is really going to be unlucky. Although they belong to the army and Kayama Shikiki belongs to the navy, this time they temporarily belong to Kayama Shikiri as the supreme leader. At that time, Kayama Shiki's words will be able to erase his military exploits, so that he will come this time in vain.

"Lord Wang, this time the Japanese army did not directly let the army in, this time they just sent a team to test, they have already gone to the road to reconnoitre." Liu Feng said.

Wang Guorui scolded in a low voice: "What's the matter, this time the Japanese army is so shrewd? ”

Tanya, a stinky woman, added fuel to the fire at this time and said: "It's not that the Japanese army is too shrewd this time, but the Japanese officer in front is too stupid!" This is a normal officer. ”

Only then did Wang Guorui know that the Japanese captain Matsumoto was too light on the enemy, so he was like this. This time, people may not underestimate the enemy, after all, as a qualified officer, when they come to this kind of terrain that is very unfavorable to themselves, most of them will conduct a certain amount of reconnaissance. This time, the Japanese army was not as light as the Japanese captain Matsumoto in front. So this time they sent a team to investigate, and it was not impossible.

"Let's be careful, don't expose it!" Wang Guorui said.

That Yamanashi Hanzo walked in slowly with a small team, then looked around, and even climbed to the bottom of the mountain to conduct some reconnaissance. However, they were destined to find nothing, because these sites had been cleaned up by the engineers, and even after about twenty-four hours of preparation, the scene had been restored so much that ordinary people could not tell that a major war had just taken place here. As for the next Yamanashi Hanzo, he was not able to find anything, after all, he was not a professional engineer and scout, so he didn't find any problems.

Hanzo Yamanashi sent one of the soldiers back to the Japanese army, and then informed the wing commander Suzuki Matsutake that the squadron was sent to the city. And Suzuki Matsutake immediately let a squadron of more than 200 people slowly come to the ambush circle, hoping to pass through Guò here to continue to test whether there is a problem this time.

"Lord Wang, this time the Japanese army is really a goblin, and they only sent out a squadron at a time!" Liu Feng said.

Wang Guorui also scolded in his heart, isn't it good for these Japanese soldiers to be stupid? How can you be so shrewd? This time, the Japanese apparently used the method of ant moving to get through this dangerous situation, and they sent one squadron at a time, so that they could fight back even if they were attacked. And once it is attacked, it proves that there is an ambush here. Once they encounter an ambush, they will immediately be prepared and go into battle. But such a ghost, he actually came to a squadron at a time, and let Wang Guorui fight or not.

If they are allowed to go over like this, then I am afraid that this dangerous place will disappear completely, and Wang Guorui will be tantamount to giving up his geographical advantage.

"Order, this ambush looks like it's going to fail. Miss Tanya, wait a minute, you lead the special combat team to destroy the Japanese squadron that has just passed through our ambush circle, and then everyone enters the trench position at the other end. Then the artillery covered, and the engineering troops did their best to build good fortifications, and this ambush could not be fought. However, since we can't fight an ambush, then we will also fight a blocking war! Wang Guorui said.

"Yes, Commander, I haven't killed in a long time. This time, there are more than 200 people, which is not enough for me to stuff my teeth, and I have to share with the soldiers of those special combat teams, there is really no oil and water! Tanya complained helplessly, obviously not very satisfied with the fact that there were only more than two hundred enemies.
