Chapter 45: The Calm Kunisaki Noon

The cold wind was cold, and the disgusting bloody smell in the air was blown into the distance by the bitter north wind.

The entire road was covered with corpses, staining the earth with blood, like a Shura hell, and it was a terrible sight.

Qiao Anbang jumped off the armored chariot and happened to see the chariot tracks covered with broken flesh of people and horses. He couldn't help but feel a churn in his stomach. Qiao Anbang immediately turned around and vomited continuously.

"Deputy throne, all the Japanese were wiped out, and no one missed the net. Since many Japanese were crushed into minced meat, the specific number could not be counted, but at least about 800 to 1,000 people!" Zhang Xudong, the company commander of the reconnaissance company, walked over with a stern expression and saluted and reported.

"Yeah!" Qiao Anbang finally stopped vomiting and nodded. This vomiting almost spit out all the things he had eaten three days ago.

"Did we have any casualties?" Qiao Anbang asked after his condition improved a little.

"Four motorcycle soldiers in our reconnaissance company were killed and seven were injured. All four were drivers, and they were shot by the Japanese with horse guns. There were no casualties in the chariot company." Zhang Xudong's face became a little heavy and replied.

"Oh! Take away the bodies of the fallen brothers and cremate them, and then send them back to their hometown to have a grand funeral! Order the platoons to retreat immediately." Qiao Anbang ordered without changing his face. There are no immortals in the war, so he didn't pay special attention. Besides, he wiped out a large group of cavalry in the Japanese with more than a dozen casualties. Such a result is the first case since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. With this battle alone, his security regiment will be enough to become famous all over the world.

"Retreat now? The battlefield has not been cleaned yet. We don't want the Japanese weapons and equipment?" Zhang Xudong said in confusion.

"No more cleaning, let the Japanese clean the battlefield." Qiao Anbang looked around and wanted to vomit, and forced himself to say, "Most of the Japanese guns were crushed into pieces by our chariots and people, and the guns. Besides, we don't care about the Japanese's garbage equipment, so we should order the retreat quickly."

"Yes!" Zhang Xudong stood up and responded, then turned around and sent the order.

…………………………………………………

About an hour later, a small team of Japanese vanguards took several tricycles to drive quickly along the road from the direction of Lishui City.

When a motorcycle drove first to the battleground where the security regiment had encircled and annihilated the Japanese cavalry just now, even though several Japanese soldiers were used to life and death, they were still deeply shocked by the scene in front of them.

Some Japanese soldiers with low tolerance had already turned around and vomited wildly.

On the road about two or three miles, there were incomplete human corpses and horses everywhere, all of which were covered in blood and flesh. What's more, some seemed to be crushed into meat pie and minced meat by heavy objects.

It can be clearly distinguished from the clothes and the broken flags that this is the first cavalry unit to set out on orders.

The leading Japanese lieutenant stopped being sad and immediately pointed at the two soldiers next to him and ordered in Japanese: "You stay here, I will go back and report to General Kōzaki."

"Hayi!" The two Japanese soldiers bowed their heads at the same time and responded.

Immediately the lieutenant boarded a motorcycle and led the other Japanese to run wildly towards the road.

On the road, Major General Kiyoshido was sitting in the armored command vehicle with slightly closed eyes and resting. Suddenly, a roar of motors sounded outside the vehicle, and then the armored vehicle stopped abruptly. The three chief of staff, Colonel Yasudaya, who was sitting next to Kiyoshido, immediately opened the door.

A second lieutenant officer jumped out of a motorcycle with a panic look, and suddenly stood up and breathed and said in a hurry: "God of General, it's not good, something happened to the First Cavalry Brigade."

"What happened to the first brigade? What happened?" Colonel Yasudaya, who was standing beside him, couldn't react for a while and asked.

The old Japanese devil, Teng Kwanzaki, had a very sensitive sense of smell on the battlefield. When he saw the panicked expression of the forward lieutenant, he could guess it and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Sure enough, the second lieutenant continued: "The First Cavalry Brigade was ambushed by unknown armed forces twenty miles away. The entire team was from the corps leader Xiaojiu, who was under Colonel Fan, and none of them were spared!"

"Hiss!" Kwanzaki Ton and Colonel Yasuda took a breath of air when they heard this. Colonel Yasuda was even more disbelief. His narrow eyes were so wide that the boss asked, "Is the situation true?"

"Report to the Colonel, the situation is true. More than 900 Huang army warriors were all broken, and none of them were spared!" After the second lieutenant of the Japanese answered, he said with a serious expression: "And... and they all died without all corpses. Most of the corpses were smashed by powerful and dense bullets. Beizhi guessed that it was very likely caused by heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. In addition, some of the Imperial Army warriors seemed to have been crushed by chariots, including their men and horses!"

"Bagaya Road! How could this happen? How could the great Japanese Imperial Army be completely wiped out in one fell swoop in such a short time?" Colonel Yasuda roared madly. You must know that it was not an imperial army team, or a whole cavalry troop. Even if it was ambushed by the enemy's absolute superior force, how could none of the cavalry's mobility be able to escape and be completely wiped out?

"Yasada-kun, stay calm." Kwanzaki Tok was indeed shocked, but he quickly recovered his calmness and began to think about how this happened. It was the first time that the entire brigade-level system was completely wiped out by the enemy since the Imperial Army invaded China.

After pondering for a while, Kōzaki-don didn't think of any reason, he waved his hand and ordered the second lieutenant: "Send the scouts immediately to Dangtu to reconnaissance situation, be sure to find out the number of the Chinese army stationed in Dangtu, and the strength of the troops stationed in Dangtu."

"Hayi!" The second lieutenant of the Japanese suddenly lowered his head and immediately took the order and left.

Watching the lieutenant leave, Colonel Yasuda asked in confusion: "General, according to the information provided by the intelligence department in advance, Dangtu has only less than one regiment of Chinese soldiers at most, and some of the defeated soldiers who retreated from the Songhu front line, their troops will definitely not exceed two regiments. Could it be that the attacks of the cavalry were done by Dangtu's defenders?"

"No!" Kunizaki Ton raised his hand to reject Yasuda's guess and said coldly: "I suspect that there must be other Chinese troops in the Dangtu area, and it should be an elite unit with a combat power of less than that of its Central Army! Otherwise, the entire cavalry first brigade would be wiped out."

"Oh." Yasudaya nodded and asked again: "Then will we report the shattered matter of the First Cavalry Brigade to the Central China Expeditionary Force Headquarters?"

"No, before I figured out that it was done by the Chinese army, the entire Kazuo was in trouble with the first cavalry brigade of Xiaojiu, who was the first cavalry brigade, will not be reported yet." Kōzaki said coldly.

"Also, immediately order the troops to continue to advance. I want to see what kind of troops can wipe out a cavalry brigade of our Great Japanese Imperial Army in one battle!" Kunizaki Ton finished his order with a stern expression, and said confidently: "No matter what kind of troops they are, I will destroy them all to sacrifice the heroic spirits of the thousand Imperial Army warriors of my first brigade, to win back the military authority of my Great Japanese Imperial Army, and to win back the undefeated glory of my Ninth Brigade!"
