Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 517: Confused

It snowed heavily all day and night. At dawn, it finally stopped quietly. The vast Taihang Mountains were covered with a layer of white. When the snow stopped and the wind came, the north wind began to blow strongly again, rolling up the snow on the ground and beating it.

On people's faces, walking against the wind, they have to turn their faces away.

She County, at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi, is covered with thick snow. The county, which has no residents in the first place, looks even more desolate and desolate. Houses without smoke stand silently in the cold wind, expressing their indifference.

With his eyes, he looked at the invaders who invaded this land. Occasionally, a group of Japanese soldiers passing by on patrol would hide their faces in their coat collars as much as possible to avoid the snow that blinded them. The smooth ground would occasionally knock them down.

A dog grabs shit.

The Japanese soldiers who got up spit out a mouth full of snow, slapped the snow foam off their faces, and cursed the weather. These guys were not the owners of this land in the first place. They were destined to endure hardship when they got here.

head.

The Japanese army in North China dispatched troops to sweep the headquarters in the Taihang Mountains. Yamaguchi woke up early in the morning and was in a bad mood. Heavy snowfall day and night made it more difficult for the troops to advance. It was His Majesty the Emperor's grace that he could climb out of the Taihang Mountains in seven days.

Fei dropped his heavy equipment, grew wings and flew out of the Taihang Mountains, and flew to the foot of Taiyuan City. On the dead tree outside the house, a few crows were croaking monotonously. Yamaguchi became even more upset when he heard it, and he angrily picked up his pistol and pointed at the crows.

Just a few shots.

I don’t know whether it was because the technique was too bad or because the crows were clever, but none of them were hit. The sound of gunshots was particularly harsh in the dead silence of Shexian County. The Japanese guard troops rushed into the headquarters in a hurry as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Mao was shocked.

No

, it was His Excellency the Chief of Staff who was raging there. Yamaguchi was filled with evil spirits and hurled such curses at the guards who were loyal to their duties. The guards were dizzy and His Excellency the Chief of Staff was foaming at the mouth before he gave up.

His bad mood was confirmed when the head of the intelligence section burst in with his face covered with snowflakes. Boss Yamaguchi was not happy. This is Mr. Kobayashi who claims to be "not panicked when hearing the news of His Majesty the Emperor's farts."

Is it? If all the intelligence officers of the empire are like this, it is really unbecoming. Yamaguchi has a problem in front of his subordinates. When he is unhappy, he will immediately show it on his face.

Xiao Lin didn't care what his expression was, and walked up to him in a few steps with a cold air: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I received the latest information. Just last night, my search troops from all over the country, a total of fifteen brigades, were attacked by a large number of Chinese troops.

The sudden attack by the troops all resulted in serious losses. The five most severely damaged brigades basically lost their combat effectiveness. The attack was extremely rapid, taking less than thirty minutes, and all caused serious losses to the imperial army."

Yamaguchi's face was full of disbelief. He took the telegram and looked at it. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning. It clearly stated what Xiaolin said. He swallowed hard and asked: "Xiaolin-kun, do you believe this is true?"

?" Xiao Lin looked at it

He looked at Yamaguchi with a monster-like look. Are you sick, Chief of Staff? It is clearly written in black and white. That captain has lost his head and is joking about such a major military aircraft? This is not a fight for China's flower girl. I am afraid that I will get less.

Xiaolin's eyes severely stung Yamaguchi's self-esteem. He became angry and shouted: "Xiaolin-kun, think about it with your pig head, how many troops would be needed to attack a brigade of our army and cause serious casualties? According to China

The army must have at least two regiments, so where did Tang Qiuli get his strength?"

Xiao Lin really thought about it with his head, and felt that the analysis of the Chief of Staff was reasonable. To attack fifteen brigades at the same time, thirty regiments would be needed. According to the establishment of the Chinese army, each regiment has more than 3,000 people, which is nearly one hundred thousand.

Xiao Lin was shocked by his algorithm as to the human strength, it was basically equal to the imperial army's strength.

But according to accurate information, Tang Qiuli's troops in the Taihang Mountains only numbered more than 30,000 people? Yamaguchi shared his confusion and ordered Xiaolin to "verify the information immediately." Xiaolin followed the order and Yamaguchi checked what the telegram said about being attacked.

He started marking areas on the map. After marking fifteen locations, he was so scared that his scalp exploded.

It's terrible. With Shexian as the center, it extends to Yanghu in the east, Matian in the west, Hongjing in the south, and Shicheng in the east, forming a complete encirclement. All targets under attack are on the periphery of the army. Tang Qiuli is

What are you going to do? Do you want to eat me in one bite? Thinking of this, he rejected this terrible idea.

Since entering the Taihang Mountains, it was like entering an uninhabited country. Under the pressure of a large army, Tang Qiuli had no power to fight back. He only had a head-on confrontation in Qinquan and was defeated in Sucheng under the pressure of heavy troops. This shows that his

The troops are empty, and now they suddenly move in

The offensive formation was launched at various points at the same time. He did not have that many troops. He must have spread suspicion and used small groups of troops to harass the garrisons in various places. What was his purpose? To force me to shrink my troops? Give up the attack.

His pursuit?

Yamaguchi felt that his head was in a mess, with all kinds of judgments and thoughts, affirming and denying like a revolving lantern. His temples were bulging with thought, and he couldn't come up with a reason. He could only wait for Xiaolin to come back and confirm his judgment, hoping that it would be

If Tang Qiuli's small group of troops harassed him as he expected, the dozen or so captains would be left with nothing to eat.

Yamaguchi gritted his teeth secretly, feeling like a cat was scratching his head. Xiaolin came back dejectedly. Yamaguchi was startled and had a premonition that something was not good, so he asked unwillingly: "Mr. Xiaolin, is the information true?" Xiaolin said with an extremely ugly face: "Staff

Sir, you can see for yourself," Yamaguchi didn't need to look, Xiao Lin's face, as if he was a dead father, had already said everything.

There was a deathly silence. If this is really the case, the hundreds of thousands of troops sweeping through the Taihang Mountains have been surrounded by Tang Qiuli's troops. Last night's action was a signal before the attack began. In the next step, the troops will be gradually reduced.

At that time, Yamaguchi did not dare to think about it. The result was very clear. With Tang Qiuli's combat methods, he was good at encirclement and annihilation warfare, but the troops in other directions were entangled with the Chinese army, and it was impossible to separate the troops to rescue him.

According to the current situation, it would be best to retreat to Shijiazhuang and Baoding while Tang Qiuli's encirclement has not yet been firmly established. Yamaguchi's face was livid, and he was really unwilling to give up the mopping up plan. This was the first step in dispatching troops to establish a foothold in North China.

If we fight with this kind of virtue, will we still be able to mess around in the future?

What's more, Commander Xiangyue Qingsi's plan to attack Taiyuan to break the deadlock failed, and he lost his troops. His Excellency, the commander, fell out of favor faster than turning the page of a book. It's not like he kicked himself like a wild dog.

Go to that corner and refrigerate it. The former chief of staff is an example. Even if the plan to raid Tang Qiuli's lair in the Taihang Mountains can be abandoned, do you dare not carry out the commander's order to attack Taiyuan? Thinking of this, Yamaguchi shuddered and must not retreat.

Yamaguchi's eyes were blood red, and he stared at Xiao Lin with the eyes of a gambler, and asked sinisterly: "Mr. Xiao Lin, has your intelligence system discovered that the army troops on the battlefields of Dezhou and Niangziguan have returned in large numbers?

I want you to give a definite answer about the signs in the Taihang Mountains."

Xiao Lin was so shocked by Yamaguchi's crazy look that his head tightened. What if the chief of staff wants to eat people? He knew the weight of his answer. If he was not careful, hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers and his own life might be lost in China.

In the mountains.

He silently filtered all the information in his mind, and then said after careful consideration: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the current information shows that not a single army of the Japanese Army has returned to the Taihang Mountains.

It is impossible to hide the march from the eyes of our agents, no, really not."

Xiao Lin very cunningly made the words "current and existing" very clear and ruthless. He had a back-up plan, lest the troops really be surrounded by military divisions descending from the sky. Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff, who lost the bet,

Using yourself as a scapegoat is the advantage of doing intelligence work. You always have a basis for what you say and leave no excuses.

As soon as Xiaolin finished speaking, he heard Yamaguchi holding his head and groaning in pain, which shocked him again. It's over, the Chief of Staff has a heart attack. He was about to call a military doctor, but Yamaguchi waved his hand weakly to stop him, his voice dark.

He asked hoarsely: "Mr. Xiao Lin, tell me, where did the Japanese division troops that attacked our garrisons come from and fall from the sky?"

Poor Intelligence Section Chief Xiao Lin, how did he know? Faced with Yamaguchi's questioning, he was speechless and couldn't answer a word. Yamaguchi suddenly became furious, rushed to Xiao Lin, grabbed him by the collar, and yelled: "

Baga, your intelligence class is doing all the work of pig heads and fools, go and investigate quickly, I want to know the truth of the matter."

Xiao Lin fled the room like a plague, touched his sore throat, and cursed in a low voice. After returning to the intelligence class, he gathered all his subordinates together and vented all the depression he got from Yamaguchi.

On the subordinate's head, one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. After his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, he gave up with anger still lingering.

He became angry and scolded, looking at his stupid subordinates one after another. He had to do the work assigned by the Chief of Staff. He sent all his subordinates out and organized a special investigation team to go to various places that were attacked.

He sent a team to conduct on-the-spot investigation, hoping to find clues and give Yamaguchi an explanation.

In the already sparsely populated Taihang Mountains, and with all the people evacuating, the Japanese intelligence officers bumped into each other like chickens. They were unfamiliar with the place and could not even see the shadow of any Chinese people. Three groups of two were alone.

soul

They are like wild ghosts, but wandering around the Taihang Mountains, hoping for the blessing of the emperor and good luck. The Japanese are like toads with short stature and obvious features. They act secretly, speak half-baked Chinese, and carry labels wherever they go.

After three collisions and two collisions, they fell into the net. The reconnaissance units of the Eagle Strike Force and the special operations detachments of the ** Division took them all in as ordered, and arrested each one.

In the name of Yamaguchi, he ordered each brigade to send out reconnaissance teams with radios to call immediately if there was any situation.
