While Lin Yi retreated with his troops, he began to check the harvest of this battle.
This ambush caught the little Japs by surprise. The Japs responded hastily and suffered heavy losses.
Lin Yi and the others eliminated nearly 2,000 Japs in one fell swoop. Not only did they seize a batch of trophies, Lin Yi also received a reward of more than 20,000 points.
With these points, Lin Yi's strength can undoubtedly be further strengthened.
Looking at the tens of thousands of points in the system, Lin Yi was also excited.
Lin Yi also didn't expect that in just a few days, he would now have such strong strength.
With his strength greatly increased, Lin Yi was even more confident about the upcoming battle.
As for the Japs, although the simple bridge was successfully repaired and the main force of the Japs successfully crossed the river, Lin Yi and the others had already fled far away and it was too late to pursue them. Now they could do nothing except collect the corpses of the Japs. .
Akashiba Yaezo cursed angrily: "Baga Yalu! Don't let me catch these bastards, otherwise I will definitely cut them into pieces."
In desperation, the old Japs could only report the situation to the Japs headquarters.
After receiving the report, Tsubuzaki was shocked. He quickly found Isoya Kaiki with the telegram and said with a sad face: "Your Excellency, the division commander, you have just received the latest report."
"The imperial army was ambushed by the enemy near Zhaojiaqiao and suffered heavy losses."
"More than 1,800 locust army warriors were shattered! They also lost a large number of artillery and vehicles. The enemy retreated in a hurry and blew up all these heavy weapons."
"Nani?"
Isotani opened his eyes suddenly and asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Tsubukkaki could only carefully repeat what he just said.
Isotani asked angrily: "Zhaojiaqiao? Why did an enemy force suddenly appear there?"
"And what does that bastard Chichai do for food?"
"Thousands of locust troops were defeated by a group of enemies who appeared out of nowhere. The face of the locust army has been lost to these idiots. What use do I need them for?"
Tsubujiagui quickly tried to persuade him: "Your Excellency, division commander, please calm down, this is just an accident!"
Isotani said angrily: "Accident? Once or twice, are they both accidents?"
"Where do all these accidents come from?"
"Should I also report this to the headquarters and base camp?"
"Is this all an accident?"
"May I?"
The little devil Isoya's division suffered heavy defeats one after another and suffered heavy losses. Now even he, the division leader, didn't know how to explain it to his superiors.
Tebujiagui could only shut his mouth obediently, because he also knew that the current situation was indeed difficult to explain.
If their superiors were to blame, they would not be able to live with it. After all, they had lost too many troops.
And the funniest thing is that until now, they don't know which part of the enemy army defeated them.
Although Isotani was angry, he was still a little unbelievable.
"Tell me the specific situation!"
Tsubuzagui answered cautiously: "Your Excellency, division commander, the situation is like this. The locust army is retreating in accordance with the order."
"When we crossed Zhaojiaqiao, the cunning enemies had already been ambushing here, but they were not in a hurry to launch an attack."
"After the main force of the Locust Army crossed the bridge, they suddenly blew up the bridge and then besieged the artillery and baggage troops of the Locust Army behind them."
"The locust army was caught off guard, and the bridge was blown up. The locust army on the east coast was unable to provide timely support, which led to this tragic defeat."
"According to reports, this enemy force is well-equipped, has quite fierce firepower, and is equipped with a certain number of cannons."
"Preliminary estimates suggest that their strength should be three to four thousand, or even more."
This is because Akashiba Yaezo deliberately lied about Lin Yi's military strength in order to evade responsibility.
Of course, Akashiba Yaezo and the others were on the east coast at that time, and the situation was chaotic. In fact, they had no idea how much strength Lin Yi and the others had.
Isotani scolded angrily: "A bunch of idiots, all trash."
"Then how did these enemies suddenly appear in Zhaojiaqiao?"
Tsubujiagui explained: "Well, I don't know about the humble position."
"Judging from the current situation, it seems that these enemies deliberately avoided the search of the locust army and went to ambush near Zhaojiaqiao."
Isotani stared at the sand table carefully for a while and said: "In other words, these cunning enemies had escaped the search of the locust army last night, detoured back to the area near Zhaojiaqiao, and laid an ambush until the locust army retreated. When they arrived at Zhaojiaqiao, they suddenly launched a sneak attack."
Tsubujiagui responded respectfully: "Hai, judging from the current situation, it should be like this."
"Bagaya Deer~!"
Isotani cursed cheaply: "This enemy army is indeed very cunning, but are the locust troops who are searching for them all idiots?" '
"Thousands of enemies suddenly crossed their search line and ran to their rear, and they were unaware of it."
"This is thousands of enemies, not a few, not dozens."
"What do they do for food? They are just a bunch of losers."
Tsubujiagui quickly explained: "Your Excellency, division commander, please calm down. This matter is indeed caused by the carelessness of the Locust Army."
Isotani said angrily: "Successive defeats, heavy losses, and being so careless have resulted in another heavy casualty. Akashiba and the others should commit seppuku."
Tsubuzagui said quickly: "Your Excellency, division commander, please calm down. The top priority is to eliminate this enemy and take revenge. Now is the time to employ people, so let's give them a chance to redeem themselves and make meritorious service."
Isotani was just angry and said the angry words deliberately. He also knew that at this time, we couldn't really let these senior generals all commit seppuku.
Will there be anyone in the army by then?
Isotani frowned and said, "Tsubuki-kun, don't you think this matter is getting more and more strange?"
Tsubuta Ki didn't understand what Isotani meant for a while, so he quickly said: "Please make it clear, your Excellency, the division commander."
Isotani said cheaply: "At the beginning, this enemy army only had a hundred and eighty people, but later it turned into hundreds, thousands, and now it has thousands of people. How much strength is this, at least A brigade of troops?”
"Isn't it strange that their troops are increasing in number?"
"And if the enemy really deployed such an elite force, how could there be no news at all?"
"But until now, we still know nothing about the situation of this enemy force."
"Isn't that strange?"
Tsubujiagui said quickly: "What the division commander said is absolutely true. There is indeed something fishy about this matter."
"I will definitely order all units to investigate this matter as soon as possible."
Isotani said cheaply: "The enemy's main force has obviously withdrawn south, but such a force always stays near the Lion City. Is this normal?"
Tebujiagui pondered for a moment and said: "This may have been the enemy's conspiracy from the beginning. Their main force deliberately withdrew southward in order to confuse the locust army and create opportunities for this force to make a sneak attack."
