The bloody corpses of a team of 12 people were placed in front of Kunisaki.
But Kunizaki didn't show the slightest expression of anger. Instead, he looked at the village 600 meters away with his telescope, which was covered by trees and exposed the silhouettes of dotted stone houses. He looked at it for a long time before putting down the telescope.
With a calm face, he looked at the trembling senior soldier with his head lowered, "Senior Private Chi Zaosi, you said you saw a lot of Chinese, so please tell me, in the face of so many Chinese, all your colleagues died in the battle.
, and how did you escape?"
"Ueshima-kun, Kitada-kun, and I were designated by Miyamoto Souchang as the response team, and were responsible for covering their retreat if they encountered danger. However, we did not expect that there were too many Chinese people, and Miyamoto Sochang was dispatched in a very short period of time.
They surrounded us, and we were also attacked by the Chinese. Ueshima-kun and Kitada-kun tried their best to stop the enemy, and I was able to report the situation to the superior officer!" Chi Zaosi lowered his head and stammered that the general was already in his mind.
Speak out the lines designed in the movie.
This 'intelligent' superior soldier did not suppress his fear of facing the supreme commander, but instead appeared extremely normal.
In the Japanese army, the distance between a major general and a senior soldier is like a white cloud between a dog and the mud on the ground. It would be abnormal if the senior soldier was extremely calm because he had already thought out the wording.
Based on this alone, the most suitable profession for this superior soldier should be an actor.
Or maybe it was the will to survive that inspired all of Chi Zaosi's potential! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to discover his potential traits.
Of course, except for Chi Zuosi, the other 12 people were all dead. He said that he was in the position of the support team, who could say that he was not? Only in that position could he have a chance to survive.
Including Kunizaki, all the Japanese generals who paid attention to the expression of the fearful and trembling senior soldier did not notice anything unusual, and naturally they did not have much doubt about what he said.
"Your Excellency, the detachment leader, I hope that the detachment will take credit for the 12 brave warriors who died bravely under the command of our 7th Infantry Brigade. They not only discovered the Chinese and prevented them from escaping, but also used the weak to make the enemy stronger, showing our 'Steel Army'
In the name of that!" A Japanese major stood up and bowed his head to Kunizaki with a heavy face.
Several assistant officers on the side, including Kunisaki, couldn't help but feel a little bored.
Don't be so eager to grab the merits of Baga. Aren't you still asking the only surviving soldier about the battle situation at that time? Why don't you jump out and fix the name of the battle merits first?
However, these mid-level and senior officers who have been in the officialdom for a long time also know that if they were in the position of this army major, they would probably jump out...
If this is really the main force of the Chinese army, then the military exploits of this person who spent 12 lives to detect the enemy's situation are huge. Not to mention being immediately promoted to a higher level, and the position was vacant that day. In wartime, of course, people with military exploits must be used.
,What the heck, doesn’t he look good as a lieutenant?
Not to mention only 12 people died, even 120 people were worth it!
People all want to make progress in their own fields. Although it is boring, Kunizaki knows that he has to give face to the army major under his command.
Moreover, when the attack on the Chinese positions begins later, we will have to rely on this Army Major to exert his strength!
"Binshan-kun, please be patient. The empire will always remember his heroic soldiers." Kunizaki's face softened and he once again turned his gaze to Chi Zaosi, whose body was constantly shaking.
"Sir, don't be afraid. Tell me everything you saw. If the final result is as you said, you will succeed you to the position where you bravely killed Commander Cao and rebuild your team. I will serve as a major general of the Imperial Army."
Nominal guarantee.”
"I saw many Chinese rushing out of the mountains, at least several hundred people. In addition, they may not only have soldiers on that hilltop, but also in several other places. Because they fired signal bombs!" Chi Zaosi tried his best to calm himself down and described
What you 'see'.
"Yeah! I hope your observation is correct." Kunizaki nodded with satisfaction.
According to the battle with the Chinese in the past few days, the Chinese army has at least more than a thousand people. The open space in the mountain is small, so it is naturally impossible to stay on a mere hill. The guess of the superior soldier is very reasonable.
What made him somewhat doubtful was why the Chinese did not flee into the mountains when they found out that the imperial army was pursuing them, but instead sought their own death and hid in the mountains that were obviously deserted.
"It is written in ancient Chinese military books that the cauldron will sink the boat. Is the reason why the Chinese chose this way to place their hopes on this? It is also because this place is dangerous and can compete with our army? Or is it to attract our army with this force, and its main force
But you fled to the mountains?" The Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff on the side wasted no time in explaining his immediate superior's doubts.
"Your Excellency, detachment leader, when my vanguard arrived, dozens of Chinese fought fiercely with our troops for nearly ten minutes. Through my observation, at least hundreds of Chinese entered the mountain village through the path." The Army Major who had previously jumped out to claim credit.
Obviously not wanting his military exploits to disappear just like that, he spoke.
Even if the main force is not Chinese, as long as there are several hundred Chinese, it must be a military achievement.
"Are there at least hundreds of people?" Kunizaki's brows raised in confusion.
The eyes of the other assistant officers all showed joy.
Although the number of hundreds of people is not large, as the saying goes: Mosquitoes are still meat when they are small!
Perhaps the officers and men of the Kunisaki detachment did not realize that after experiencing the Battle of Mouse Mountain, their standards had been greatly lowered.
In the past, I would not be excited if I heard that a Chinese infantry division was blocking the road, so I would just let the 1st Brigade of the Jingan Army fight. But now, I heard that the Chinese army can surround hundreds of people, and my blood is boiling.
Once the bottom line is lowered, it is difficult to go back.
The Kunisaki detachment, who was hurt by the beating, is thinking like this now.
"Send out a search team and continue to track and search into the mountains to see where the Chinese are going. The rest of you will surround the Chinese here, but you cannot let anyone escape." Kunizaki finally made a decision.
Even if it was the 'wrist' that the Chinese army soldier put down after breaking his wrist, he would swallow it in one gulp and let him taste the painful taste of the broken wrist.
The Japanese army of more than 2,000 people began to dig a position 400 meters around Qinglongling Village in an orderly manner. Several assistant officers began to observe the battlefield and put forward combat suggestions to Kunisaki.
The search team sent into the mountains also received news that the Chinese had left a large number of pack horses and supplies in the mountains. Footsteps and traces showed that at least five to six hundred Chinese had entered the mountain.
All kinds of collected news made Kunizaki, who was sitting at the field headquarters 600 meters away, feel mixed with joy and sorrow.
Fortunately, the Chinese people he besieged may be more powerful than he imagined, and the revenge of the slap in the face a few days ago can finally be avenged.
What is worrying is that through analysis of the battlefield terrain, the location chosen by the Chinese is a headache.
No wonder the Chinese didn't run into the mountains, but chose here. The terrain is really too conducive to defense and not conducive to offense, unless he has the determination to stay here for more than half a month and rely on the siege method to encircle the people above.
Starve to death and thirst to death.
But that was obviously impossible. After half a month, the Battle of Jinling that he was thinking about would have been over long ago.
Damn it! Kunizaki frowned and was in a dilemma.
He could only attack by force, and gather most of his troops to attack by force, trying to deal with this Chinese group in the shortest possible time.
"Order Colonel Takeuchi Unzan to march here and tell him that I can only give him four hours." Kunizaki gave the military order in a daze.
The Takeuchi Yunshan Division, which was about ten kilometers away and was searching for the Yao Village area, received the telegram, and the entire army turned back. Under the guidance of the map, they marched toward Qinglongling Village along the mountain road that was feasible for large vehicles.
More than an hour later, Gu Xishui's special operations team discovered them through the telescope.
As expected, the Japanese mobilized their troops just as Tang Dao planned...
