Age of Conquest Reborn

The Japanese 43rd Division broke through, and fought a melee with two intercepting brigades of Marines in the east and west directions outside Tokugawa Castle. After daybreak, the troops' battle results report came up, and it seemed that they had fought well.

, wiped out more than 10,000 enemies.

However, the commander, Major General Han Tie, asked a question that had little to do with the outcome of the battle. Wang Dongshan blinked and replied: "According to the intelligence, the Japanese 43rd Division is an A-class division with a full strength of 20,000.

More than five thousand people!”

"Yesterday, how much were the losses suffered by the Japanese troops who tried to break through in the northern direction of Tokugawa?" Han Tie asked again.

The number of enemy annihilations was still in the mind of Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan. He opened his mouth and replied: "About more than 2,000 people!"

"Damn it!" Han Tie slammed the table hard, couldn't help but uttered a curse word, and said depressedly: "Chief of Staff, the battle is not going well, we are in big trouble!"

Wang Dongshan immediately realized that the full strength of the Japanese 43rd Division was more than 25,000. Yesterday's daytime battle plus the night melee meant that the number of Japanese annihilated was approximately 13,000 to 4,000. In other words,

The 43rd Division, with a strength of at least 10,000 people, led more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers into the vast mountains and dense forests of eastern Tokugawa. Isn't it a big trouble? His brows,

Wrinkled all of a sudden.

Wang Dongshan thought for a while and said: "Commander, unless the remaining more than 10,000 Japanese troops are finally eliminated, the battle on the northern battlefield of the Korean Peninsula will not be completely over, and we will not be able to evacuate. Now, we should take corresponding measures

If we really allow the Japanese army to gain a foothold in the deep mountains and dense forests, we will be very passive!"

The veins on Han Tie's forehead were popping up, and he gritted his teeth and said: "While the little Japs are busy escaping, we must pursue them step by step without stopping. Order the 7th Brigade to give up rest and immediately follow the Japanese army."

To pursue the retreat route, the Eighth Brigade was ordered to send two more battalions of troops in addition to the two battalions already sent out to continue to pursue the remaining Japanese troops in western Tokugawa. The other troops were immediately transferred to eastern Tokugawa.

Direction, join in the pursuit of the remaining Japanese troops!"

The headquarters issued an order. The entire 7th Brigade and most of the 8th Brigade, a force of 27,800 troops, immediately entered the mountains and forests in eastern Tokugawa to pursue the Japanese army. Wang Dongshan's worries were exactly

Han Tie shouted that the reason for the trouble was that there were more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers. They seemed to be a lot. But they were scattered among the high mountains and virgin forests. They were almost like a few drops of water falling into the sea. His troops had to destroy these more than 10,000 soldiers.

You can imagine how difficult it is to take out a Japanese soldier and kill him!

Han Tie got a headache just thinking about it. The Japanese army adopted the method of breaking out in a dispersed manner. This was the idea. A good encirclement and annihilation battle turned into a mountain pursuit battle. If things go wrong, it will still be a jungle guerrilla war. How long will it last?

Is he the boss?

Han Tie was not sure at all. He stood on the top floor of the tallest building in Tokugawa and looked at the mountains spreading out in front of him. The dense and boundless forests directly stretched to the sky. He could imagine the navy and land forces.

It is very difficult for the soldiers of the team to search for the hiding Japanese soldiers in such terrain conditions. It is conceivable that he does not believe in the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Instead, he was worried that the training of the Marine Corps had always been focused on beach landings and seizing islands. This was the first time he encountered such mountain and jungle warfare. The terrain was unfamiliar and the tactics and tactics were not suitable for him.

, shrouded in a layer of worry, thinking to himself, "I'm afraid, the troops chasing into the mountains this time are going to suffer a lot! I'm still not calm enough!"

Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan climbed to the top of the building and stood behind him. He felt the worried atmosphere of the commander. After a long time, he said: "Commander, the troops of the three brigades of the Southeast Mobile Corps under our command have all arrived.

Tokugawa South is waiting for orders from the headquarters!"

Han Tie turned around and said: "Chief of Staff, order the troops to enter Tokugawa for rest and reorganization. Regarding the next step, we will wait until the 7th and 8th brigades come back. Tell the three brigade commanders that the troops came from afar and marched overnight.

, take a day off first! Inform the Logistics Department to replenish supplies for the troops of the Southeast Mobile Corps!"

Wang Dongshan did not leave, he hesitated and said: "Commander, there is one more thing. Before the Japanese army broke out from Tokugawa, they carried out massive looting and rape in Tokugawa City, including those who lived in Tokugawa.

japanese, food, clothing

All the goods and properties were robbed. There were at least 60,000 residents in Tokugawa Castle, waiting for a mouth to eat. The citizens sent representatives to ask us to give them food. The logistics department asked for instructions, what should be done? Should the citizens be rescued, or should they be ignored?

"

Han Tie was furious and yelled angrily: "No matter! I have been following the kid for decades. What, in the end, I was abandoned by the master. The master turned against me and left nothing. What,

Even the Japanese

Being robbed, okay, this is damn retribution. Why should I, Han Tie, clean up the bad things that little devil did? I don’t care, I absolutely don’t care. If you piss me off, I’ll send troops to drive all these obedient Koreans out of Tokugawa.

, Where can I go if I love you!”

Wang Dongshan said nothing, watching the commander lose his temper. Han Tie roared for a while, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said in frustration: "It is also a sin for more than 60,000 people to starve to death. Tell the logistics department

, you can give them a mouthful of food, but don’t think about eating enough, this is not a refugee camp, just starve to death!”

"As for those Japanese, order the troops to gather them together, strictly guard them individually, and identify them one by one. There are no crazy people among these Japanese. They are playing with us with human bombs. Damn it, the little Japanese death squads are in the Liaodong Peninsula.

, killed more than a thousand of my soldiers, and I still gave them food to eat, it makes me fucking uncomfortable just thinking about it!"

Han Tie felt really uncomfortable and depressed. Most of the cooked duck of a Japanese division in Tokugawa flew away. Before leaving, he even scraped three feet of the Tokugawa land, and he still had to take it in.

More than 60,000 people opened their mouths to clean up this mess. If the Tokugawa War ended as planned, this mess would be left to accept the Korean Peninsula Working Group, so why should I worry?

In the evening, the 7th and 8th brigades that went into the mountains to pursue the Japanese troops withdrew one after another. Moreover, they were not withdrawn in an organized manner, but a battalion or a company was withdrawn from the mountain dispersedly, because Hantie did not withdraw from the mountain.

There was no order to cancel the pursuit, and the 7th and 8th brigades suddenly retreated, leaving him with a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Han Tie's hunch was right. When he saw Wu Fengge, commander of the 7th brigade, and Cao Jinchuan, commander of the 8th brigade, Han Tie almost didn't recognize these two subordinates. It was a bit miserable. The two major generals

The brigade commander was just like a defeated soldier in a defeated battle. His uniform was torn into pieces. His face was scratched by unknown sources, and there were bloody cuts one after another. Even the brigade commander looked like this.

From his appearance, one can easily imagine what happened to the soldiers below.

As soon as he saw Han Tie, Wu Fengge, commander of the 7th Brigade, grinned and almost cried, "Commander, you are such a damn coward! I was killed or wounded in a melee in eastern Tokugawa."

There were less than a thousand people, but in the damn mountains and forests, the little devils didn’t kill many.

Well, our seventh brigade suffered more than 2,000 casualties! After wandering around for a whole day, we were shot at by little Japanese everywhere. This battle was unwinnable. After discussing with Brigadier Cao, I had to withdraw temporarily. Commander,

I will accept the punishment for withdrawing troops without the order from the headquarters!"

Major General Cao Jinchuan, commander of the 7th Brigade, saw the blue veins on the commander's forehead, and hurriedly said: "Commander, it is not just Brigadier Wu who decided to withdraw the troops. I also fully agree with it. Our large army

Entering the mountain is in the light,

The Japs were scattered, in groups of three to five, and in groups of seven or eight, who hid in dark places and fired cold shots. Our brigade pounced on them, but could not find anyone. From time to time, we stepped on the mines laid by the Japs. Our Eighth Brigade

The casualties are similar to those of Brigadier Wu!"

"In addition, there are some soldiers who were bitten by unknown things and lost their feet and fell into the mountain stream. Brigadier Wu and I also studied a way to send out small groups of troops to conduct scattered searches and keep in contact with the radio. Once the little ones are bitten,

As soon as the devil's tail comes, the large troops will pounce on them and kill them one by one!"

"However, the small force either failed to catch up with the Japs or was ambushed and suffered heavy casualties. Our nearly 30,000 troops were thrown around by the Japs and were helpless. We had no choice but to stop the pursuit and withdraw. If we continued

If we continue, the casualties of the troops will be even greater! Commander, if you punish Brigadier Wu, I, Cao Jinchuan, will also accept the punishment!"

Han Tie weakly waved his hands and said: "What is the punishment? I was not calm enough and ordered the troops to pursue immediately. When it comes to responsibility, I am the biggest responsible. Our troops are not adapted to mountain and jungle warfare, and it is inevitable to suffer losses. Okay,

Go down and rest, you two troops, rest on the spot, block all roads leading to Tokugawa, don't let the little devils come back to us!"

Wu Fengge and Cao Jinchuan walked out of the headquarters with heavy steps. Just in time, Major General Xue Shiqiang, commander of the first brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps under the command of the Marine Corps, Major General Gao Degong, commander of the third brigade, and Fu Xiaochen, commander of the fourth brigade

The three major generals rushed to the headquarters to report. When they saw two ragged major generals going out, they looked at each other in surprise. They looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

Xue Shiqiang and the other three stepped forward, "Report to Commander Han that the Southeast Mobile Force has arrived in Tokugawa. We are here to report to the Commander and ask him to assign tasks!"

Han Tie returned the courtesy and did not shy away from the fact that the 7th and 8th brigades suffered heavy losses in pursuit of the remaining Japanese troops. After Xue Shiqiang and the others sat down, he said: "To be honest with you three, Brigadier Xue, there is no waste in occupying Tokugawa."

Shot after shot, the battle last night inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese 43rd Division."

"However, when chasing the remaining Japanese troops, our two brigades suffered heavy losses and suffered more than 4,000 casualties. Those who just went out were the 7th Brigade Commander Wu Fengge and the 8th Brigade Commander Cao Jinchuan. You I’ve seen it too, it’s such a mess!”
