The Japanese's return journey was not smooth sailing. Old Japanese Miyazaki thought that their departure was a sign of letting Liu Zhen go, and the Independence Camp should burn incense to celebrate their departure.
Perhaps because he had suffered too many losses in Chenjialing, in order to avoid being attacked by surprise before passing through Chenjialing, Miyazaki deliberately stopped the large army and first sent a squadron to search ahead.
They almost searched the area within a few kilometers on both sides of the Chenjialing Highway. After confirming that there were no ambush troops, they notified the main force to pass.
It's true that "once bitten by a snake, I'm afraid of the well rope for ten years", so I wasted at least an hour.
The Miyazaki regiment finally passed Chenjialing smoothly and rushed towards Anping City for reinforcements. Because they received another telegram from Anping asking for help, the Chinese offensive was very fierce.
After passing Chenjialing, Miyazaki felt much better and started to be in the mood to chat with Kawamura Nakasa.
"Kawamura-kun, it seems that the main force of the independent battalion has really gone to Anping City, and they no longer even set up ambushes in dangerous terrain like Chenjialing."
"Your Excellency, Captain, your judgment is correct. Chu Xiong is going to use troops to surround Anping City to force us to withdraw. They will probably run away before we arrive."
Kawamura Nakasa subtly flattered Miyazaki, and of course it was from his heart.
Your Excellency, the captain of the company, indeed understands better than he does. Without supplies, this battle will only end like this.
Miyazaki is still relatively useful. It seems that Mr. Kawamura is not entirely a martial artist. He decided to give him some guidance:
"Kawamura-kun, don't think about defeating the Chinese in one battle. The war between the two sides is a protracted war. In this war, you must stay alive first to see the final victory!"
"Don't bet on luck when you're not sure. If you're lucky, you'll just catch a few thousand civilians, which isn't even military merit. If you're not lucky, you won't find any civilians. What will our two thousand troops eat in the mountains?"
Colonel Miyazaki's words made Kawamura suddenly enlightened. He was a little unconvinced before and felt that Lord Miyazaki was a little too timid. Now he finally understands.
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency, Captain. We have a long way to go. I understand my humble position!"
"Boom boom boom!"
"Ta-ta-ta!"
Just as the two old devils were bragging to each other, the sudden sound of gunfire interrupted their conversation. Kawamura quickly blocked the old devil Miyazaki with his body, which made Miyazaki very impressed.
"Yo Xi, Kawamura-kun's loyalty and bravery should be regarded as the model of an imperial soldier!"
Ten minutes later, a squadron leader came over and reported:
"Your Excellency, Captain, the Imperial Army was attacked by a small group of enemies and has been repelled. Our army suffered 17 casualties."
When Miyazaki heard this, he immediately understood that this was another Chinese harassment tactic. There was no other way to do it except to be vigilant.
"Yoshi, step up your vigilance and continue to clear the way!"
Miyazaki could only treat it as a group of annoying flies, and he was fooled by them because he cared too much about them.
The Miyazaki regiment continued on its way and was attacked several more times. The opponent's intention to hold back the imperial army was obvious.
Now he is starting to worry a little about Anping City!
"Kawamura-kun, order the troops to speed up. Anping City is in danger."
There are only a few kilometers left from Anping City, and the fierce sound of gunfire can already be heard faintly. There are no less than a dozen machine guns. This is a big enemy!
Liujiapo, Independent Battalion ambush position
The six heartless cannons of the machine gun company have been buried, leaving only a black muzzle pointing diagonally toward the sky. The eight 81mm mortars of the mortar platoon are positioned more than 500 meters apart. The 12 92s of the heavy machine gun platoon are Heavy machine guns are also hidden in the bushes a few hundred meters away from the road.
The third company and the fourth company were hidden in separate areas, with each company separated by several hundred meters. The third company was ambushed in the direction of Liujiapo towards Liuzhen. Their mission was to block the retreating Japanese;
The Fourth Company was ambushing on both sides of the road heading towards Anping City.
"Battal Commander, the Japs are coming. They are marching very fast, and the security team is not far away."
"Notify comrades to keep calm and use the sound of cannons as a signal!"
After Chu Xiong handed over the messengers, he continued to wait. The carriages, horses and artillery were already set up. He believed that his troops would withstand the test.
The Miyazaki regiment first passed through the ambush area of the third company, but the third company did not touch them.
A few minutes later, the leading troops entered Liujiapo, and Yan Haoyu asked the heartless artillery platoon to continue waiting.
The marching formation of the Miyazaki Regiment is that a squadron opens the way in front, and the main force of the Regiment is separated by a few hundred meters. They are arranged in four columns, with squadrons as units, one squadron and one square formation, between squadrons and squadrons. They are about fifty meters apart.
Old Japanese Miyazaki followed Kawamura's brigade, riding in the middle, accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Kawamura, and surrounded by several staff officers and guards.
Yan Haoyu saw that most of the Japs had entered his pocket, so he decisively gave the order to the unscrupulous artillery platoon to fire.
Six heartless cannons were lined up in a row, aiming at the Japanese on the road at different angles, with a strike width of more than one kilometer.
"Dong dong dong!"
Several huge explosive packets were thrown out and fell into the Japanese queue.
"Boom boom boom!"
Several huge flowers bloomed in the queue of Japs, swallowing up a large number of Japs!
"Enemy attack!"
"Boom boom boom"
"Ta-ta-ta"
…
The independent battalion's firepower was fully activated, frantically harvesting the lives of the Japanese...
Heartless cannons, 81mm mortars, 92 heavy machine guns, crooked handles, grenades, grenades, and 38 caps played a song of death, which was a funeral song for the Japanese.
Kawamura and Miyazaki were very lucky. They were not bombed by heartless cannons, so they luckily escaped death by bleeding from their seven orifices.
Others did not have such good luck. After one shot, there was no living person within a hundred meters. The Japs in the marching state were so dense that half the squadron had to be wiped out after one shot.
There were gunshots and gunfire everywhere, and the Japanese didn't know where to run, so they completely gave up.
There were corpses all over the road, and Chu Xiong was filled with excitement when he saw them!
"Damn it, this unscrupulous cannon is too cruel, I like it!"
"Blow the charge! Comrades, kill!"
After shouting, Chu Xiong tried to rush down with his gun in hand, but was stopped by two guards.
"Battal Commander, the instructor told me not to let you charge!"
"Damn it, do you listen to me or him?"
Chu Xiong suddenly became anxious. Doesn't this deprive him of the power to kill Japanese soldiers?
It's a pity that the two guards are the same, so Chu Xiong can only give up and watch others kill the Japanese!
Miyazaki rode his horse and fled towards Anping City, followed by hundreds of defeated troops...
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound from behind, and Miyazaki's face turned pale.
"cavalry!"
