Qinggang area.

Qinggang, originally a huge quarry, was set up in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, once prosperous, and then abandoned in 1926, located in the northeast of Baishiling, the two are 50 miles apart.

Although the Qinggang Quarry has been abandoned and has lost its former glory, it can vaguely be seen from the huge quarry workshops left behind by it and the rows of hundreds of houses built along the mountain.

The rocks that used to be bare in the mountains have grown layers of thick grass with age. There are only a few podocarpus trees in a radius of several miles, growing there alone, and its 20-meter-high branches, swaying in the wind, look extremely lonely, adding a touch of sadness to the Qinggang quarry, which has been abandoned for many years.

At this moment, a group of about 100 Japanese soldiers was trampling on the fine stones, running rapidly, pulling bolts and shooting at the front from time to time, and everyone's expression was full of disdain and laughter.

Hundreds of meters in front of the Japanese army, hundreds of soldiers of the national army, relying on the mountains and rocks that were half a man high, were fighting back at the Japanese army.

However, the counterattack of the soldiers of the national ~ army seemed to be extremely slack, and the gunfire was also sparse, like a group of routs who had been greatly frightened, and they seemed so panicked and frightened.

Even though a few soldiers of the National ~ Army were not angry and shot back, the bullets they fired were also flying randomly, and after a round of shooting, a little devil did not hit, but wasted a lot of bullets in vain.

On the ground along the way, from time to time, a military hat of a top country ~ soldier was left, and even guns and grenades were left, and the entire valley road looked extremely messy.

The Japanese squadron leader picked up a military hat from the ground, played with it in his hand, and laughed: "Stupid Zhina, it's really vulnerable!" ā€

A Japanese soldier beside him immediately chimed in: "If the people of China are not stupid, how can they be defeated by us?" ā€

"Roar!"

The Japanese squadron leader patted the soldier's shoulder happily, "Matsui-kun is right!" ā€

After a pause, he immediately asked, "Matsui-kun, check what location is here?" ā€

Hearing this, the soldier immediately took off his backpack, took out a map from it and looked at it, and replied after a while: "Your Excellency, the current location of our current location is called Qinggang, and it is less than 250 miles away from Guangzhou. ā€

"Roar!"

The squadron leader of the Japanese army looked happy and said: "Matsui-kun, immediately send a telegram to the division commander, and report the situation of the collapse of the Chinese people to the army, and report it truthfully!" ā€

"Hey!"

~~~~~~~

A group of hundreds of soldiers of the National~ Army were hiding behind the rocks and shooting back at the Japanese army.

A man with the rank of major of the National ~ Army sat on the ground with his back against a large rock. Qing took a mouthful of spit, and said with a look of resentment: "Made, this battle is really aggrieved!" ā€

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately echoed by the surrounding officers and soldiers.

"Being chased by the little devil behind the buttocks, and we can't fight back with all our strength, of course it's not pleasant."

"Yingzuo, this deception and escape, it's more tiring than his mother's charge!"

"Yes, my military cap has been thrown away, and next time there is this kind of work, our battalion will not be able to take anything!"

"You can pull it down, you just threw a hat, Lao Tzu's Zhongzheng rifle that he had just arrived a few days ago was snatched by our platoon commander and thrown on the ground."

"Haha, that's bad luck for you old boy!"

The battalion commander of the major of the national ~ army waved his hand and interrupted everyone's gossip, "Okay, don't talk about it, since the little devil has chased after us, and we have rested enough, then we should continue to flee now." ā€

"Ah, I'm running away again!" A young soldier complained.

Immediately, the battalion commander of the major of the National ~ Army gave him a burst of chestnuts, and scolded with a smile: "Just you ~ have a lot of words, we must do enough tricks now, and when we get to Baishiling, let's spill all the gas that we have been holding all day, give the little devils some color and take a look, let them know that we are powerful!" ā€

Qinggang Quarry is still 50 miles away from Baishiling, the center point of the encirclement!

~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~

The 5th Division of the Japanese Army.

Division Commander Toshiyoshi Ando said with a smile: "Order the whole army to speed up the whole army, be sure to quickly catch up with the defeated Chinese ~ army, and annihilate them all!" ā€

"Hey!"

A Japanese junior officer replied in a loud voice.

After the young officer left, the expression of the staff officer of the 21st Army Commissioner, Major General, looked unusually solemn, and he frowned: "Your Excellency the division commander, we are more than ten miles ahead, but we are about to enter the continuous hilly area, as far as I know, there are countless large and small hills and ravines, there are forty or fifty places, once there is an ambush of the Chinese ~ army there, even if the 5th Division is strong in combat, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties!" ā€

"Huh!"

At that moment, the division commander Toshiyoshi Ando laughed contemptuously, "Inoue-kun, you are too worried, the Chinese ~ army was beaten by us, and it was crushed, and now I can't wait to grow two legs to escape faster, how can I set up an ambush on us?" ā€

"The people of China don't have that wisdom, let alone that guts, because they are all a bunch of cowards, veritable sick men of East Asia!"

The commissioner of the 21st Army of the Japanese Army, named Inoue Yufu, with the rank of major general of the Japanese Army, once graduated from the Japanese ~ Army Non-commissioned Officer School with the first place in the same grade.

His wisdom and keen sense of war won the admiration of the commander of the 21st Army, Guzhuang Michiro, and he is currently serving as a senior staff officer in the 21st Army of the Japanese Army.

Inoue looked at the division commander with a confident face, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and said: "Your Excellency the division commander, don't be careless, I feel that even if the Chinese ~ army is not ambushed, we shouldn't stretch the team too long, and now we are chasing the defeated national army, the battle line of the 5th Division has been stretched too long." ā€

After a pause, he aggravated his tone, and said in a cold voice: "The 21st Wing of the forward force and the 22nd Wing at the rear are already more than 60 miles apart, once the enemy comes to attack, we will definitely not be able to react, and we may even be cut off by the enemy, cut our army into several units, and annihilate them!" Therefore, it is recommended that the forward troops postpone the pursuit and wait for the main forces of the division and regiment to converge, which is a safe and secure policy! ā€

"Enough!"

Suddenly, the division commander, Lieutenant General Ando Toshiyoshi, was furious and roared angrily: "Inoue-kun, you remember for me, I, Ando Toshiyoshi, am the supreme commander of the 5th Division, don't I know what to do?" Remember your duty, I don't need you to point fingers! ā€

"Your Excellency the division commander, there is no trace of overstepping the authority of the lowly position, nor does it have any malicious intent, everything that the lowly post says is for you and for the sake of the 5th division!"

Senior Staff Officer Inoue felt aggrieved and hurriedly said.

Hearing this, the complexion of division commander Toshiyoshi Ando improved a lot, and he collected his anger and said: "Inoue-kun, the fighter plane is fleeting, if the 21st Wing of the forward force is ordered to suspend the pursuit, it will inevitably make the Chinese rout run further, how can we wipe them all out?" ā€

"Your Excellency the Division Commander!"

Inoue wanted to persuade again, but was impatiently interrupted by the division commander Ando Rikichi, and said coldly: "Okay, you don't need to say it anymore, I have made up my mind!" It's just a group of sick men in East Asia, where do they have the guts to set up an ambush on our invincible 5th Division? ā€

At the moment, Inoue Xiongfeng is full of a lot of helplessness in his heart.

"The division commander is so arrogant, he is bound to suffer a big loss in the future! Once the Chinese ~ army sets up an ambush in the area of Baishiling, our 5th Division will surely fall into a deep quagmire of war, in a dilemma, and it will be difficult to extricate itself! ā€

Inoue thought so in his heart.

Suddenly, a cold chill hit his heart in an instant!

"Report to the brigade commander, the 21st Wing of the Japanese Pioneer Force has arrived in Qinggang, less than 50 miles away from Baishiling!"
