1518 Blocking enemy reinforcements

The commander immediately said: "Infantry cluster, immediately enter the Japanese tent in front to search, and not let go of a single Japanese car." "When the infantry received the order, they crossed the tank position and stormed the Japanese tent, and soon found the Japanese car hiding in it, and they immediately opened fire on the Japanese driver.

The Japanese pilots were not equipped with weapons at all, because Ishikawa Motoaki felt: these people are going to die anyway, so why should they be equipped with weapons again? So the drivers of these cars completely became lambs to be slaughtered in front of the bullets of Lin Yuan's troops, and some drivers pressed the detonation switch of explosives the moment they saw the soldiers of Lin Yuan's troops rushing in, but after all, such people were a minority, and most of them were killed by the bullets of Lin Yuan's soldiers before they could react.

In a short time, the drivers of the eighty cars were all killed, and Ishikawa Motoaki watched the infantry of Lin Yuan's troops rush into the tents of his troops again and again from the watchtower in the distance, and when he heard the dense gunfire coming from the tents, a burst of despair suddenly filled his heart, and he reluctantly said to the herald: "Inform Captain Kumamoto that the special attack operation has failed." ”

The herald quickly informed Kumamoto Shoichi of the news, and Kumamoto Shoichi was happy and sad when he heard the news, happy that Ishikawa had failed and could not be in the limelight; Sadly, their Imperial Japanese Army failed again and fell at Lin Yuan's feet.

Kumamoto Shoichi immediately told Mizuta Akito the news, and Mizuta Akito thought after hearing it: "It's not good, the camp of the chariot wing has been captured, and it is easy to go up the mountain from the location of the chariot wing's camp, if Lin Yuan's troops attack our mountain from the camp of the chariot wing, what can we do?" ”

At this time, Aso Yasuhito said: "Division Commander, it's time for us to retreat, Lao Xianshan can't hold it, we can only count on holding it in Qingjin City." ”

Mizuta Mingyuan nodded again and again after hearing this, and said: "That's right, we must stick to Qingjin City, there is a railway from Yoshikawa to Qingjin, reinforcements should arrive soon, and General Nogi has already sent the navy out, if our wing fleet can sink all the warships of Lin Yuan's troops, then we have hope to win back a city." ”

The Japanese army immediately began to retreat, and in the process of retreating, Lin Yuan's troops fired countless mortar shells from the occupied Japanese main artillery chariot camp to the Japanese mountain positions, and the Japanese finally retreated to Qingjin after losing their troops, and then retreated in the city.

The news that the Japanese army could not hold out in Qingjin was reported to Lin Yuan at 10 o'clock in the evening of 13 February, and Lin Yuan looked at the map in front of him and thought: "Since the Japanese army does not fight a decisive battle with our main force, it must be waiting for reinforcements." ”

So Lin Yuan said to the staff officer: "Find me the map of the deployment of the Japanese army near Qingjin." ”

Lin Yuan looked at the deployment map and thought: "Although the Japanese army has garrisons in the towns around Qingjin, they are all garrisons with a strength of several hundred people, and they are not opponents at all, only the ninth division of the Japanese army is stationed in Jizhou, with a total number of about 30,000, if the Japanese army wants reinforcements, the reinforcements must be them." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "According to the Japanese army's mode of transportation, how much time will it take for them to reach Qingjin from Jizhou?" ”

The staff officer replied: "The Japanese Ninth Division is a unit that does not have many vehicles, and if they want to quickly support Qingjin, the best option is the railway, if they use the railway to transport, it will only take less than a day." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "Although the little devil's train is as slow as a turtle, we still can't let them come, so you go to Director Shen and ask her to order her agents to demolish a large number of Japanese railways." ”

The staff officer nodded, and wrote down Lin Yuan's order in the notebook, Lin Yuan glanced at this action, and said, "Remember to burn the paper after the order is delivered." ”

The staff officer smiled: "Can there still be enemies in our Zhongnanhai?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Will the enemy let you see it?" ”

The staff officer said, "Okay, I'll burn the paper after I finish conveying it." ”

Lin Yuan nodded, and then asked, "If the Japanese army can't use the railway, what way will it maneuver?" ”

The staff officer smiled: "Then you can only use two legs!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Then it will take a lot of time!" Leave them alone, send a report to the 1st Division and let them immediately launch an attack on Kiyojin Castle! Then we will transfer the newly formed 31st Division and increase the total number of our troops near Qingjin to 40,000. ”

The staff officer nodded and left, conveying Lin Yuan's order to all parts, the first to do it was the agent under Shen Wanqing's command, the Japanese army did not expect that Lin Yuan would send agents to directly dismantle their railway, so they were defenseless, so the agent successfully demolished several sections of the railway.

The train of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army was galloping, but I didn't expect that the tracks in front of it were gone, so the train derailed, and the Japanese train was very slow, and the Japanese army was a blessing in disguise, and not too many people fell to their deaths, but many people hung up the lottery.

The Japanese infantry could not build the railway, so they could only wait for special engineering technicians, so it was delayed for a lot of time, and while waiting for the technicians, the Japanese army sent scouts to observe the railway in front of them, and found that many sections were damaged.

The Japanese army then told Nogi Noshinori the news that reinforcements were blocked, and Nogi Noshinori was furious after hearing this, and ordered the railway soldiers to quickly repair the railway, but the weather was freezing and the progress of the project was extremely slow.

At 6 o'clock in the morning of 14 February, the news of the destruction of the railway reached the ears of Kiyojin and Mizuda Aketo.

Mizuta Mingyuan immediately called the commander for a meeting, at which Mizuta Mingyuan first said: "I believe everyone knows the way, right?" The railway from Jichuan to Kiyojin was damaged by Lin Yuan's men in many sections, and now our troops are rushing to repair it. ”

Akutagawa and Mimi asked, "How can this be?" Could it be that Lin Yuan's troops also infiltrated that area? ”

Mizuta Mingyuan shook his head and said, "No, those people are agents of Lin Yuan's troops!" ”

Akutagawa and Mi said indignantly, "Why can't our agents sneak into Lin Yuan's rear to sabotage? ”

Mizuta Mingyuan sighed and said: "When China was still in power by the Qing government, there were our agents everywhere, but unfortunately, later the ruler became Lin Yuan, and it was difficult for our agents to sneak in. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, and Kumamoto Shoichi was the first to say, "Withdraw? Why do you want to withdraw? ”

Mizuda Mingyuan said: "According to the activity ability of the Chinese agents, we don't know when the railway will be able to be built well, if we can't wait for reinforcements, we will definitely be wiped out by Lin Yuan's troops in Qingjin, so I think, while Lin Yuan's troops did not land on a large scale, we immediately withdrew from Qingjin, advanced to the Jizhou area, and joined forces with the Ninth Division, what do you think?" ”

Aso Anren shook his head and said: "Mizuta-kun, with the combat effectiveness of our troops, we can hold on to Qingjin City for a month, a month, and the Ninth Division will climb and crawl!" ”

Mizuta Mingyuan said: "Our Qingjin City doesn't even have city fortifications, how can we stop Lin Yuan's troops? ”
