It is not as easy as the attacking Japanese army to withdraw from the battlefield.
Of course, the Japanese army was also on guard against the Chinese army, although they knew that the Chinese army was small in strength and did not have enough strength to rush down to the high ground and cause damage to the retreating army.
But, what if!
Didn't the Chinese come at night, and the black tiger ripped out the heart and gave the artillery position behind the army a fatal blow?
Kunisaki, who was filled with rage, would not make such a low-level mistake, so he also dropped reconnaissance troops on the nearby mountains, not only to ensure safety, but also to observe the next moves of the Chinese, and to regain fire support.
Enter the battlefield again and make tactical plans in advance to be prepared.
For this small group of Japanese troops hidden in the mountains and forests, Tang Dao did not spend any effort to find them this time.
After continuous marches and battles, his soldiers were too tired and they needed enough rest.
Except for the fact that there were no troops stationed on Highland 3, there were only two infantry companies stationed on the other two hills. All other soldiers retreated three kilometers and entered a long and narrow valley for repairs.
This is to prevent the Japanese infantry from turning around, and also to avoid being bombed by Japanese naval fighter planes and reduce unnecessary losses.
Sure enough, within two hours of the Kunisaki detachment retreating, an overwhelming swarm of bombers appeared in the sky.
After learning that the Kunisaki detachment had suffered a bloody blow in front of several hilltop positions, Yanagawa Heisuke became furious and directly sent a telegram to His Royal Highness the Prince who had just taken over as the commander of the Songhu Expeditionary Force, requesting air support.
The Japanese Army's fighter planes are basically still on Taiwan at the moment, so the so-called air support can only come from the Navy.
The number one culprit of the Jinling massacre may have ordinary military ability, but he holds a high position and is a radical in Japan. Both the Japanese navy and army have to sell his face. His orders are certainly not comparable to those of army generals like Matsui Iwane.
of.
In addition, the Third Fleet once again damaged two fighter planes yesterday and hated this mountainous position. At that time, it dispatched 36 fighter planes in a mighty manner. The number of fighter sorties dispatched was the highest in the half month after the Songhu Battle.
The intelligence stations along the Songhu-Jinling line were transmitting radio waves frequently, and the city of Jinling was even more trembling. Everyone thought that this huge fleet of aircraft taking off from the sea was coming to bomb Jinling.
In fact, except for the big city of Jinling, there is no other target that is worthy of the Japanese army dispatching such a huge fleet.
But everyone was wrong. This huge fleet of aircraft pounced viciously towards the mountainous area.
Knowing that the Kunisaki detachment had evacuated, the 36 fighter planes had no scruples. They opened their bomb bays at an altitude of 1,200 meters and dropped nearly a hundred large and small aerial bombs.
Moreover, this time the Japanese naval pilots learned to be smart and knew that there were trenches and tunnels on the highlands, with limited damage. Their main bombing target this time was the mountains and forests surrounding the highlands.
In this case, the Chinese reserve team and various auxiliary personnel can be wiped out in one fell swoop.
There are fortifications and trenches on the blocking position, so we can't build these in the rear! The Japanese logic is actually correct.
A mountainous area with a radius of one square kilometer was blown into a sea of flames.
If Tang Dao had allowed his troops to stay for one more hour, I'm afraid the losses they would have suffered would not have been smaller than yesterday's day of fierce fighting.
Fortunately, the main force hid in a valley far away from the position, and there were basically no other losses except for a few people who were injured by loose gravel from the huge earthquake that came from an explosion more than two kilometers away.
The two infantry companies located on the high ground did not have to worry about Japanese infantry attacks and did not leave any observation posts. They all hid in the tunnels before the Japanese fighter planes arrived.
After a round of hellish bombing, the officers and soldiers in the tunnel were frightened half to death and turned into dusty groundhogs.
In addition, the large amounts of aviation kerosene and bombs consumed by the Japanese navy did not have any other effect.
At night, after receiving Tang Dao's telegram, the two light infantry companies quietly withdrew from the battlefield, followed the traces of the main force, and continued to evacuate deep into the mountains of southern Anhui.
The Mouse Mountain Blockade is now completely over.
The main position plus the night attack battle, the total battle was only one day and one night, but it was able to block the fierce flames of the Guoqi Detachment and the 1st Brigade of the Jing'an Army around Guangde City for four days.
It was not until the arrival of the artillery battalion of the 36th Infantry Brigade and the baggage team of the 18th Division that Kunizaki sent the vanguard of an infantry brigade to Mouse Mountain again.
The commander responsible for leading this infantry brigade was none other than Colonel Takeuchi Unzan, who continuously commanded the 1st Brigade of the Jing'an Army and his own infantry brigade on Highland 3, but was beaten until his face was swollen.
Although in the early morning of that day, he clumsily hugged Major General Kunisaki who was spewing blood, his pounding heart still betrayed his excitement.
Anyway, Kunizaki, who had an extremely keen sense of emotion at the time, would never think that this LSP felt anything about his butt. I am afraid it was more about the position below his butt.
Therefore, His Excellency Colonel Takeuchi Unzan naturally led an infantry brigade and became the arrowhead of the entire army.
Of course, I, this major general, cannot chop off your head, but the Chinese people dream of it, and Major General Kunisaki is very skilled in killing people with borrowed swords.
But for Takeuchi Unzan, who is already in his forties, it is not something that a major general can handle at will.
How dare you ask me to lead an infantry brigade to attack several highlands that cannot be conquered by a single detachment? Do you think I am a fool?
Arriving near a quiet highland, the Japanese colonel, who had been beaten in the face by the Chinese army, had no intention of testing the attack at all. Instead, he and his subordinate captain each took a telescope and looked at the hilltop hundreds of meters away.
Take a sharp look.
It seemed that as long as he dared to look, the evil figure of the Chinese army would be revealed.
As a result, a whole morning passed in the "caution" of His Excellency Colonel Takeuchi Unzan.
It was not until Kunisaki could no longer hold himself back and led his army to arrive at the position that the Japanese infantry brigade had dug all morning that Takeuchi Yunshan sent out two infantry detachments to 'deliver food'.
The strange smell in Highland No. 3 was so strong that even after several days, the mountain wind did not blow it away.
The two teams subconsciously chose Highland 1 and Highland 2.
At that moment, no one knew whether the thirty Japanese soldiers were greeting Takeuchi Yunshan's 18th generation mother line or Kunizaki Zheng, but they had to climb a hillside of two to three hundred meters above sea level for a full half an hour.
It was really climbing, starting from a position more than 400 meters away from the top of the mountain.
From a distance, it looks like thirty green-headed turtles.
Compared to the shit yellow color on their bodies, the color of the 90 helmets is really too green.
Damn military industrialists, why do you have to paint your hair in such a green color? It feels so weird. Thinking of myself being away from home for a long time and my wife living alone, for a moment, the Japanese infantrymen on the battlefield always felt that this green color looked strange.
It cannot be erased in this life.
There was no terrible blow. There was no one on the Chinese position. Thirty Japanese soldiers who did not know that they had caused great psychological pressure on their colleagues excitedly waved the small sun flag on their rifles on the top of the mountain.
The cheers of "onboard" made Takeuchi Yunshan unable to hold back tears at that moment.
Not because it was so easy to occupy the Chinese position that had been difficult to conquer for a long time, but...
It's great. I don't have to fight with the Chinese anymore. This feels so wonderful!
But obviously, the next few days and nights prove that dreams are full but reality is skinny!
If you don’t fight here, fight there!
Just like the future war model, as long as the Japanese army is still on Chinese soil, there will be battlefields everywhere.
The same is true for Guangde.
There is no need to fight Mouse Mountain here, there are more mountains waiting for them until they get out of this mountainous area.
The key is how many people can get out of the mountainous area.
However, at this time, Takeuchi Yunshan could not imagine that it would be so far-term.
As the captain of the Green-Headed Turtles, he could very proudly give an order to the Major General's detachment leader who could not even vomit blood to death: "The Chinese have been repelled, and our imperial army will continue to advance towards Aurous Hill!"
"Bah!" Kunizaki stared blankly at the sun that was gradually setting towards the west. He wanted to spit a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the fairly straight face of his subordinate, General Zhong.
A few deserted highlands have blocked the army's one-day journey. Do you know that?

PS: The college started school today. I held meetings from 8:30 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. I went back to the old lady’s place to spend the holidays with them in the evening. I just finished writing two chapters. I’m sorry for the late update!
By the way, let me give you a warning for old book friends. The old books will be out in the next two days. If you still want to read, you can continue reading.
