Chapter 155 Hang up the devil prince
In late spring in northwestern Shanxi, the sky is already light and the air is filled with the fragrance of soil...
After a few bird calls, the earth also ushered in a new day.
But the devils don't have the leisure and elegance to experience this wonderful time...
"Report to the division commander! We have already investigated it clearly!"
"More than thirty kilometers to our east have been occupied by the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army!"
"It looks like they are cutting off our retreat!"
The 36th Division Chief of Staff reported in a panic.
"Nani?!"
"I said they just bombarded us last night but didn't launch a large-scale attack."
"At first I thought it was because it was dark and it was not conducive for them to attack. I was wondering how they could restrain themselves since the Eighth Route Army loved to attack the Locust Army in the dark!"
"Now it seems that they are just stopping us here..."
"If this brigade of soldiers is responsible for cutting off our retreat..."
"Then how many enemies do we have in front of us..."
"One... No! There must be two brigades!"
"Could it be that the entire 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army has been dispatched?"
"That shouldn't be the case. A division of the Eighth Route Army is not even as good as one of our brigades. They don't have the ability to surround us..."
Yamagami Inujiro said in confusion.
"Your Excellency, our army is in trouble now, but we don't know the strength of the Eighth Route Army yet."
"I suggest that we retreat to Liujiashan, where the terrain is difficult to attack and easy to defend."
"However, the 15th Brigade was hit by the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire on the east side of Liujia Mountain yesterday!"
"I suggest that we change direction this time and go around from the north!"
"As long as our locust army occupies Liujiashan and is in a commanding position, we only need to wait for the Eighth Route Army to attack us."
"By then, no matter how powerful the Eighth Route Army is, they can only leave behind a pile of corpses and retreat in a hurry."
The Chief of Staff of the 36th Division, Isamu Ye, thought for a moment, pointed to Liujiashan on the map, and said.
"Yoshi, this suggestion from Yefeng-kun is very good!"
"The situation is unclear right now, so we really can't act rashly!"
"So, Ye Fengjun will lead the main force to move towards Liujiashan, and the commander of our division will lead the remaining troops to cover the rear!"
Yamagami Inujiro said righteously.
"Si Guoyi! You are worthy of being the division commander! He actually took the initiative to take on such a dangerous task of covering the rear!"
"My admiration for you, the division commander, is as endless as the lava of Mount Fuji!"
"As the Chinese say, it means we are in awe!"
"But! I cannot let the division commander take any risk! Let me cover your retreat!"
Upon hearing this, Chief of Staff Isamu Nokaze spoke in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with admiration for Yamagami Inujiro.
"No need! Nokaze-kun! Follow the order!"
"Only the most dangerous place is where I, the division commander, should stay!"
Yamagami Inujiro waved his hand and said.
What a joke. If the locust army could think of it at Liujiashan, the Eighth Route Army would certainly have thought of it as well. If the commander of our division were to lead the team, we might be ambushed again.
But if we don’t go to Liujiashan and stay here, something bad will happen sooner or later, so it would be better for the chief of staff to go.
"Hai! Hai!"
Ye Fengyong bowed hurriedly and replied.
Looking at Nofuki Isamu's departing back, Yamagami Inujiro finally revealed a hint of a smile.
……
"Captain! Commander!"
"The Japs have retreated. They are heading towards Liujiashan!"
Zhang Dabiao ran to Li Yunlong anxiously and said.
"This Lin Tian is really a god at foreseeing things! The devils are really heading towards Liujiashan!"
"The Japs are so stupid. They ran away before I even fired a shot!"
"Notify the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments! Immediately occupy the enemy's previous position and build fortifications!"
"Damn it, this group of devils will definitely suffer a great loss at the hands of Lin Tian. When the time comes, he will have to come back!"
"I'll wait for him here!"
"Also, inform Lin Tian and the others of this news!"
Li Yunlong laughed and said.
"Yes! Captain!"
Zhang Dabiao answered and turned to leave.
……
Two and a half hours later, Ye Fengyong, the chief of staff of the 36th Division, led more than 8000 Japanese soldiers and arrived less than five kilometers away from Liujiashan.
Ye Fengyong held the telescope in his hand and observed for a long time.
"Order the troops to search and advance!"
"Once it is safe, immediately occupy Liujiashan and build fortifications on the spot!"
"Tell all artillery battalions to set up artillery positions in hidden places behind the mountains and not to expose artillery fire easily!"
"After the Eighth Route Army opens fire, we will detect their artillery positions and immediately open fire to destroy their artillery!"
"By then, no matter how powerful the Eighth Route Army is, they will be nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered!"
Nokaze Isamu gave orders to the commander of the 18th Brigade, Kuroshima Daisuke, who was standing beside him.
"Ha! Victory will belong to the Locust Army!"
Kuroshima Daixiong bowed.
"open circuit!"
Then he turned around, waved his hand and gave the order.
After hearing the order from their commander, the Japanese soldiers dispersed and rushed up the mountain with bayonets pointed.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo and his men had already discovered the movements of the Japanese, and Zhou Weiguo had long expected that the Japanese would take a detour.
To be on the safe side, he also built fortifications in the north and south directions.
After the whereabouts of the Japanese were exposed, Zhou Weiguo immediately ordered the troops to move into the fortifications on the north side and hide first.
"Weiguo, there are too few devils coming. It looks like there are only about 8,000 of them. They still have at least 7,000 devils that haven't arrived yet."
Fang Zheng said after looking at the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
"It's okay, Lao Fang, you see, the Japanese are still very cautious. This must be the Japanese vanguard, and they are about to go up the mountain now."
"Let's fight first. The 36th Division is here for the body of that devil prince."
"When the time comes, we will hang up the body of the Japanese prince and show it to the Japanese, and leave a few Japanese soldiers to go back and report the news."
"The devils are all stubborn. If they know the prince's body is here, they will definitely go crazy to grab it."
"When the time comes, we will annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
"Besides, even if they are scared and don't come, we can still find them as long as we gradually narrow the encirclement!"
"The devils can't escape this time!"
"This is a division, Lao Fang. If we can wipe them out completely, it will be of great significance! Maybe we can go down in history!"
Zhou Weiguo said excitedly after looking at the troop distribution map.
"Haha, I don't care about leaving my name in history. As long as I can kill these devils and drive the invaders out of China, that's enough!"
Fang Zheng said with a smile.
"Haha, then let's send the enemy's coordinates to the commander first, and let the artillery battalion fire a wave of artillery fire!"
"Let's go out and harvest again! Also, have the soldiers hang up the devil prince's body!"
Zhou Weiguo said with a smile.
