The first thousand one hundred and ninety-three chapters are fooled
While the Western Shu Army and the South Vietnamese Army broke their appointments one after another, they also made the same decision, that is, they did not tell the Japanese Army about their actions.
In their view, not reporting the news is not a big deal. After all, we are only a temporary alliance, so there is no telling when they will become opponents and fight will begin.
Since it is a potential opponent, why should I notify you? There is no such obligation at all.
But this was a hardship for the Japanese army.
Without knowing anything at all, the Japanese army of 200,000 people was alone and was approaching Zhangcheng.
In the last big defeat, Kunimuraji died in the battle against Zhangcheng. This gave the Japanese army a warning that the Dahua Army in front of them was not easy to mess with, far from being like the Nanwu Army they had dealt with before.
weak.
The Japanese are a nation that is very willing to learn from experience. After their last defeat, they began to consider changing their tactics. For example, when the army is marching, it cannot blindly attack fiercely, but must fight while moving. To put it bluntly, it means fighting steadily.
They must rely on their own strength to advance step by step, and at the same time, they must coordinate with friendly forces. Even if they find that friendly forces want to retreat, they must retreat. Only in this way will they not be overtaken by the Chinese army.
Encirclement will prevent the entire army from being annihilated.
The idea was good, and the Japanese army did the same thing. This time when they came to Zhangcheng, their marching speed had slowed down a lot compared to before. The idea of General Chiuchi who led the army was to first let the Western Shu Army and the South Vietnamese Army fight with
When the Great Chinese Army starts fighting, he will take action when their remaining strength is insufficient. This way, he will have more chances of winning.
No matter how good the plan is, it can't withstand the presence of a group of pig teammates. Just when they were slowing down and walking slowly, around them, the Shanshan Guards were forming a circle and surrounding them.
Without the Western Shu Army and the South Vietnamese Army, the only enemy Dahua had to deal with was the Japanese Army, which freed them up to concentrate their efforts on dealing with the Japanese Army.
Having already received the order, the Shanshan Guards transferred from Lizhou, under the leadership of their division commander Feng Xun, came like a dragnet.
Tea County.
The place where the eastern gateway of Xiangzhou is located was given to the Japanese army by Zhu Dangdao, king of Western Shu, as a temporary base camp during the last battle of Zhangcheng. It also became the place where the Japanese army gathered.
From here to Zhangcheng, the straight-line distance is only over 200 miles, and even if you take the official road, it will not exceed 350 miles. It is an excellent place to attack.
Moreover, there are many mountains around it. Except for one main official road, the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, so it is considered an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.
At least, so far, no army has come to trouble them.
This is an excellent place to store troops, and it also serves as the rear area for the Japanese army's offensive.
Chiuchi himself sat in the original county government office in the city, summoned the generals, and spent most of the day setting the order for the march of the armies. For example, who should be the vanguard, who should be the first army, who should be the middle army, and who should be the rear army, etc.
Detailed arrangements have been made.
Considering that the Japanese army has no cavalry and its movement speed is far less flexible than the cavalry, Chi Nei also deliberately arranged various materials used in the war between the central army and the rear army, so as to ensure that even if the Dahua cavalry appeared around them, they
There won't be any big loss.
After feeling that everything was arranged very carefully, Chiuchi ordered the army to set off early tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, 200,000 Japanese troops and 100,000 civilians walked out of Cha County one after another. Every not far away, there were Japanese vanguard soldiers. This kind of military force was equivalent to a scout. They did their best.
In order to understand their own functions, they had to investigate the surrounding situation very clearly. Only when they ensured that there was no danger, the army would march normally.
It was precisely because of this cautious behavior that they had to walk for seven days over a distance of more than 300 miles. Finally, they arrived safely on a slope thirty miles east of Zhangcheng City.
After arriving here so smoothly, Chi Nei was naturally very happy. In his opinion, the reason why he did not encounter any harassment from the Dahua cavalry on the way forward this time was because the target Dahua army was being attacked by the Western Shu Army and the South Vietnamese.
The military base was besieged, and it was Wu Xia's clone.
"Go and check how the Battle of Zhangcheng is going. Is it our turn to enter the battlefield? Hahaha." Chiuchi said excitedly.
Immediately, the vanguard soldiers left. More than two hours later, when Chi Nei was drinking and having fun with the generals in the military tent, the young vanguard soldier returned. As soon as he entered the tent, he lowered his head and paused.
He said: "Tell me, General, the city is very peaceful and there is no war."
"Where?" Chi Nei, who was drinking, suddenly opened his eyes wide and said with an expression of disbelief: "There is no movement in Zhangcheng. What is going on? How is this possible? Where have the Western Shu Army and the South Vietnamese Army gone?
?”
"I don't know, I haven't seen them. Could they have the same intention as us?" The young pioneer soldier expressed his thoughts.
"You mean they also want to sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight?" Chi Nei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and rejected this statement. It would be possible for just one army to do this, but it is impossible for both the Xishu and South Vietnamese troops to do it.
Such a choice is so abnormal.
Putting down his wine glass and sitting down, Chiuchi felt that he should think about it carefully. This matter made him feel so unusual.
But before he could think about it, when he was thinking too much, another person rushed in from outside the tent. His face was charcoal gray, and his clothes had burnt marks. As soon as he entered the tent, he fell to his knees with a plop.
He said in front of Chi Nei: "General, something bad has happened, Cha County... Cha County is lost!"
"Baga! What's going on?" As soon as he heard that the rear area was lost, Chi Nei's expression changed. This was what he was most afraid of. Even if he lost the battle, he was not afraid. Anyway, their territory was large.
There are plenty of soldiers, so if you grab some casually, you can form a large army. But if you lose even the city in the rear, it means you don't have any reinforcements, and that is the most terrifying thing.
The young general who knelt down was the garrison general who stayed behind in Cha County. Seeing Chi Nei's anger, he quickly introduced what happened in detail. According to what he said, on the third day after the army left, suddenly something happened over Cha County.
Countless birds appeared, and they threw thunder downwards while flying in mid-air. Without any precautions, the city was in chaos.
Taking advantage of this opening, countless Dahua cavalry suddenly appeared outside the city. Then they used sky thunder to blast open the undefended city gate, and then rushed into the city. There were fires everywhere in the city, and those who resisted
The order could not be conveyed at all, and it was impossible to prevent any effective counterattack. In desperation, the young general had no choice but to grab a war horse and rush out of Cha County to report the news.
"Your, incompetent, your, bastard." After listening to these narratives, a furious Chiuchi raised his foot and kicked the man to the ground, and then shouted outside: "Come here, drag him out.
Kill, kill."
Just killing this young general who reported the news and neglected his duties is far from enough to calm the anger in Chi Nei's chest. What he needs to consider now is what to do next?
Although he didn't know which cavalry group made the surprise attack on Cha County, he knew very well that the current situation was already very dangerous.
First, the two friendly forces disappeared, and then the lair was taken away. This was obviously planned. In other words, the so-called story that Vantage was poisoned and the Chinese people were panicked was pure nonsense.
be cheated!
This is Chi Nei's most realistic thought right now. But he still can't figure it out. The news he sent back was that the Tang Clan had a feud with Emperor Dahua. Even if that was the case, why would he help them spread false news?
After thinking for a long time, they still had no clue. The other young generals in the tent became anxious. The loss of Chajun meant that they had no way out. The number of people in their hands would die less, and the food they would eat would be less.
Under such circumstances, they must make a decision early, otherwise, the lack of food alone will be enough to demoralize their military, and even a mutiny is not impossible.
In the anxious eyes of all the young generals, Chi Nei gritted his teeth and said as if he had made a big decision: "Send the order, the army will stop resting and attack Zhangcheng early tomorrow morning."
Chi Nei is also a ruthless person. After knowing that there is no way out, he simply does not consider this issue. He wants to occupy the city with troops. In this way, he will have a new place to live. When the city is available, he will
You can then defend the city and wait for reinforcements to appear.
After making a decision, many young generals' expressions changed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is also a way. Otherwise, they can only send the army back. But the problem is that no one knows whether there will be any danger on the way back.
Are there cavalry from the Great Chinese Army waiting for me?
Since everything is risky, it is better to attack the city. I think the Chinese army would not have thought that not only would they not escape, but they would actively launch an attack.
Some young generals understood the general's approach and nodded to show their support. After seeing everyone's performance, Chiuchi said: "No one can tell the truth about the loss of Cha County, otherwise it will be beheading.
, do you understand?”
"Hai." All the young generals nodded in agreement. Of course they knew that once the news spread, it would not be easy for them to command the army.
The banquet naturally broke up unhappy. The young generals all went down to prepare, and Chiuchi also returned to his sleeping tent to rest. Once the war starts tomorrow, it will be impossible to have a good rest.
Zhangcheng is thirty miles away.
Tang Ao had already rushed back from Lucheng. He was so anxious all because of one thing, that is, Xue Fei seemed to be giving birth. She had complained of stomachaches two days ago, but everyone was nervous for a long time and calmed down again. This chapter has been completed!
