Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 518: Forced to gather together

Kobayashi, the head of the Intelligence Section, was driven crazy by Chief of Staff Yamaguchi, and Yamaguchi could only rely on the intelligence he provided to determine the next direction and target of action. The intelligence personnel under his command were thrown out in large numbers, and they were like nothing in the sea.

He stretched his neck waiting for the news, but there was no reply.--%网

He had no choice but to order the scattered Japanese troops in various places in the name of Yamaguchi to send out small reconnaissance troops to search every place with a sieve method based on a radius of fifty kilometers. His move was really effective.

On the first day of dispatch, almost half of the reconnaissance team sent an emergency call, claiming that they had encountered a large force of the ** Division and were surrounded, requesting reinforcements.

When the large Japanese troops arrived in somersault style over the mountains and ridges, they saw only messy footprints all over the snow. Soldiers' corpses were frozen solid and were neatly stacked together. It looked like they were made of corpses.

The sight of the piles of firewood made the Japanese soldiers tremble with fear, and cold air ran down their backs.

After three days of struggling, all the agents in his hands were involved, and the soldiers in each unit also suffered a lot. In addition to the news of daily losses, not even a ghost could be seen in the huge Taihang Mountains. Xiao Lin really had no choice.

I have to face the Chief of Staff every day again.

After countless questioning, even shrew-like insults, and a few slaps in the face, he couldn't think about it for a moment, and committed suicide by caesarean section in his bedroom. It is said that this was the first time that the emperor had used this method since the beginning of the war in North China.

His Majesty's loyal senior intelligence officer.

Before committing suicide, he left a suicide note, claiming: "After more than 20 days of raiding the Taihang Mountains, we found nothing except a large amount of supplies and the morale of the soldiers. We could only fight with Tang Qiuli's troops in the Qinquan and Sucheng areas.

Once, I had a lot of questions about this battle, why did the imperial army, with its main division, dare not take the initiative to attack, but allowed Tang Qiuli to retreat unscathed?"

"Chasing to Sucheng, the Imperial Army was ambushed by landmines and suffered heavy losses. However, Chief of Staff Yamaguchi did not see any punishment for the derelict officers. At least there was someone responsible for hesitating. I have asked about this matter, and they all

I acted on the orders of the Chief of Staff, but now I think

Later, Chief of Staff Yamaguchi was actually too cautious for his own selfish interests and missed a good opportunity. Later, he blamed the intelligence department for the failure of the unit. Kobayashi was speechless. He was in a foreign country and the intelligence department was responsible.

The effect is negligible."

"What's even worse, Chief of Staff Yamaguchi did not realize the truth. Instead, he blamed me in every possible way, verbally insulted me, and even punched me. Kobayashi couldn't bear it. He neglected his duty first, and his superiors blamed him second. After thinking over and over again, he decided to die to clarify his will and to fight for the future.

To repay His Majesty the Emperor for his great kindness, long live the Emperor of Japan"

Kobayashi's final letter was so cruel that he temporarily bit Yamaguchi hard. Yamaguchi did not see the letter, but was quietly collected by Kobayashi's deputy and sent to the North China Expeditionary Force Intelligence Department.

The Japanese army's intelligence system has its own management system. Kobayashi's suicide caused an uproar in dispatching the military intelligence system in North China. Officers in the intelligence system were filled with indignation. A senior intelligence officer was insulted like this and even committed suicide in shame.

, the matter has been brought to the base camp

Reporting to the headquarters, an undercurrent of upsetting Yamaguchi was quietly surging within the North China Expeditionary Force. However, Yamaguchi, who was far away in the Taihang Mountains, had no idea. Those senior officers were originally worried about Yamaguchi's sudden promotion to the position of chief of staff.

I was so disdainful that I didn't bother to tell him the truth.

Little did he know that Yamaguchi, whose position was already in jeopardy, was still desperately serving the Empire of Japan. When he learned about Kobayashi's suicide, he was not even interested in taking a look. In front of the Deputy Intelligence Section who reported the situation

The section chief said sternly: "You are a waste, a coward, and you are not worthy of being a soldier of the Empire of Japan."

Little did he know that these words had been reported to the North China Expedition Force Intelligence Department by the deputy section chief through secret channels, which strengthened the determination of the senior officers in the intelligence system to bring down Yamaguchi.

It’s no wonder that Yamaguchi was angry at Xiao Lin’s incompetence. He had also had a hard time in the past three days. While asking Xiao Lin to find out the truth of the matter, he issued orders to all the brigade to raise the alert level at the station, send more sentries, and take strict precautions day and night.

Give the ** division troops an opportunity to take advantage of it. Small groups of troops are strictly prohibited from acting alone.

Even so, some troops were still attacked. The assault troops of the ** Division suddenly appeared at the Japanese army's station as if falling from the sky. The tactics were exactly the same. They first used cavalry to disrupt the Japanese army's position, and then used infantry to conduct a second raid.

Within thirty minutes,

It was like a whirlwind blowing by. By the time the Japanese army woke up, they had been beaten so hard that they couldn't even catch a single figure. And the way of attack was not limited to night. Some brigades had just started marching and were suddenly attacked.

**Division cavalry, take a hard bite.

Yamaguchi was about to collapse. He suffered from severe neurasthenia and suffered from insomnia all night. His head, which originally belonged to the wilderness, had lost all his hair and looked like a big egg. He was extremely distressed. Although he was not recruited into an organized extermination unit

, but this piecemeal approach was enough for him. The assault troops of the Japanese Army were like eagles, taking a bite here and grabbing that, and the total made Yamaguchi feel distressed and panicked.

In just four or five days, almost half of the division was lost. Yamaguchi couldn't stand it if this continued. What made him even more depressed was that he would vomit blood. The hateful and despicable Japanese division troops used their superior cavalry to make a surprise attack.

They entered the headquarters of the Third Brigade of the Gangze Cavalry Regiment, stole nearly a thousand horses, and killed hundreds of soldiers.

The other two brigades of the nearby Okazawa Cavalry Regiment heard the news and rushed to the rescue. On the way, they were ambushed by the superior cavalry of the ** Division and lost a large number of horses. Not counting the loss of a large number of cavalry, even the captain of the Lieutenant Colonel also

It was split in half by a saber. What was annoying was that the Chinese soldiers tied the captain's body into two halves, tied him to a war horse, and sent him back to the regiment headquarters without hesitation.

It is said that the captain of the Gangze Alliance was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, gathered all his troops, and frantically searched for the cavalry of the ** Division. The enemy was not found. On the way back to the station, he stepped on a large number of landmines, causing hundreds of casualties. The Gangze Alliance

The captain was blinded in one eye and had his leg broken. He was rushed to Shijiazhuang and died in anger.

Yamaguchi felt that the world had changed. The Taihang Mountains, which had been allowed to run rampant, had turned into death traps for the imperial soldiers. The five fingers he stretched out were all smashed, with broken bones and tendons, and blood flowed everywhere. He watched the commander for seven days.

Five days have passed since the date. Instead of advancing even half a step, the troops were beaten back and forth, losing troops and generals. If we continue like this, what are we going to do to attack Taiyuan? Your Excellency, Commander, won't you kill yourself alive?

In desperation, Yamaguchi let out a long sigh and had no choice but to give up his plan of sweeping the Taihang Mountains and destroying Tang Qiuli's home base. He gathered back the scattered troops, used Shexian County as the assembly point, clenched them into a fist, and prepared to march out of the Taihang Mountains.

, passed through Yushe, Jinzhong, and approached Taiyuan, executing Xiangyue Qingsi's battle plan to attack Taiyuan.

When Yamaguchi issued the order, his heart was bleeding. This was a crazy idea that he exhausted so many brain cells to come up with, but it was abandoned halfway. Yamaguchi suddenly became much older, giving the Japanese officers and soldiers a feeling of decline. These people also felt that Yamaguchi was in decline.

There was a lot of slander, and I followed him around the Taihang Mountains for more than twenty days. Everyone was sallow and thin, obviously exhausted, and he didn't even fight a decent battle.

At first, I marched and climbed mountains and burned houses every day. Later, I was beaten every day. I didn’t even know what my opponent looked like. I expected to be able to seduce the Chinese flower girl as I pleased, rob gold and silver treasures, and make a fortune. What happened?

The pigs didn't even see it, let alone the gold and silver treasures. He could only see half-empty dishes, just open his eyes. Following such a commander, he was really unlucky.

Yamaguchi has always been troubled by a question. How many troops does Tang Qiuli have in his hands that can fly all over the Taihang Mountains? He can attack any imperial army at will. This question has always been with him until he was later dismissed from the post of chief of staff.

, when he was sent to a remote town in the Chabei grassland to serve as the commander of the guard warehouse, he didn't understand it. This became a problem that he couldn't get rid of.

Not only Yamaguchi didn't understand, but even Tang Qiuli, who made the Eagle Strike battle plan, couldn't figure out what was going on at first. He knew exactly how many troops he had in hand. There were eight Eagle Strike troops in total, and they could attack eight people every night.

Who would have known that the battle report came out on the first day that fifteen Japanese brigades were attacked.

He ordered Chief of Staff Yu Guanghan to verify the battle report, and it became clear that seven of the eight troops, like Temulbagan and Han Mulin, attacked two targets in one night, and only one of them was because

The distance between the two targets was too close, and the fighting alarmed the approaching Japanese troops. They had no chance to attack again, so they had to return bitterly.

Tang Qiuli was very happy. The creative fighting methods of officers at all levels could cause more casualties and panic to the Japanese army. After two days of fighting, each Eagle Strike Force found that hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were scattered like sheep dung eggs.

In every corner of the Taihang Mountains, there are too many targets to choose from, more than a dozen in one night, which is obviously not enough. So we might as well organize the eight troops into several eagle attack teams based on battalions, and attack them all over the place.

There is a certain reason for doing this. The decision to fight or not to fight is in your own hands. Each Eagle Strike unit sneaks in through the gaps in the Japanese defenses. In addition to being guarded by a solid city wall, the terrain is conducive to Japanese defense but not conducive to the troops.

A place for rapid assault

Moreover, each department communicates with each other and tries to launch attacks at the same time, peeling off layers of skin from the outside inward, regardless of day or night, as long as it is convenient, it will kill a guy. This formed a formation that shocked Yamaguchi.

The eclipsed so-called encirclement.

Because it was a quick raid, the troops had almost no casualties. Once the Japanese army was on guard, they immediately gave up the plan and looked for the next target. The vast Taihang Mountains had a huge room for maneuver. The Japanese army could not use all their troops to stand guard, Tiger

There is also time to take a nap, not to mention that the little devil cannot be called a tiger, at most he is a hungry wolf.
