Rise From Eight Hundred

The battlefield is as calm as the autumn water on a flat lake!

Tanichuan Masanori's heart was in chaos! It was like being constantly bombarded by the cannons of a naval fleet in the autumn water of Pinghu.

The continuous changes in the 36th Infantry Brigade have made him, the commander of the new brigade, very busy. When he has time, will he remember a noble man who came to the division to gild his body?

It wasn't until the fighting ended in the early morning that he suddenly remembered that there was an 'uncle' who was training in the army. He took time out of his busy schedule to ask for news about this man, but he didn't expect that the infantry squadron where he belonged was actually transferred to serve as the vanguard. , almost frightened the little Jiji to the point where he retracted into his abdomen, and immediately ordered the 2nd Infantry Brigade to rescue him to find him.

The 2nd Infantry Brigade, who went to serve as the corpse removal team, lived up to his expectations and successfully found the body of Second Lieutenant Hosokawa Harateng and presented it to the commander of the Shinko Brigade.

Tanigawa Masanori had never hated Ushijima Sadao so much at that moment. Even though he knew that this man had a small idea of ​​using his 36th Infantry Brigade to attack at night because he did not want to reduce the strength of his division, someone had to fight the battle. The honor of the Imperial Army must be safeguarded, and the 'Strongest Division on the Surface' is not afraid of sacrifice.

But Second Lieutenant Fujiwara Kawanishi who came to gild was killed in battle. What should we do? That he died a worthy death for the empire?

Don't be ridiculous, okay? That was just a slogan to let those civilian soldiers like him die. The reason why middle- and high-level officers like him who came from civilian families worked so hard on the battlefield was just to obtain the title of nobility so that their descendants would not Just charging stupidly with bullets in front of you.

However, the good expectations were shattered.

Masanori Tanigawa, who has nearly twenty years of military experience, knows very well that from the moment Fujiwara Kawanishi died in battle, his military career was over, no matter how outstanding he performed in this war.

That huge family has two generals and one lieutenant general in the army base camp alone, not to mention the huge power in the political arena. He, an army commander who is unattainable in the eyes of ordinary infantrymen, can only be described in one sentence. , can fall from heaven to hell.

You can't hide it if you want to. With the power of the Fujiwara family in the military, the cause of his death and the time of his death in battle can be clearly investigated at any time.

Tanigawa Masanori, who had been stunned for a long time, could only report the accident to His Excellency Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, who was the temporary commander of the 6th Division 200 kilometers away. Naturally, the acting commander who had lost his aggressiveness could no longer Without any scruples, he desperately listed the black features of Ushijima Sadao.

The famous crab theory psychology, if you let me die, I will also have to drag you into the water. The night attack battle came from your order, Ushijima Sadao.

The high-spirited Yanagawa Heisuke, who was mobilizing his troops to defeat the Chinese positions, received the telegram from Tanigawa Masanori at noon, and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

He is the commander of the Tenth Army and not the nanny of the Sixth Division. How would he know that there is such a great god hiding in the Sixth Division? The worst thing is that the great god is still a complete loser.

This is really a bunch of idiots, Hisao Tani is the dead ghost, Mitsuru Ushijima is, Masanori Tanikawa is, Sadao Ushijima is too

It is said that throughout noon, no one dared to approach the military tent of the lieutenant general who was still high-spirited in the morning.

Because he didn't know the situation, a poor communications lieutenant rushed into the Lieutenant General's military tent with a frontline battle report. He was stabbed to death by the furious Lieutenant General on the spot. He stepped hard into the dirt.

It has to be said that Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke was still brave. After his anger subsided, he made a decision. In view of the urgent situation on the front line, the news of the death of Second Lieutenant Fujiwara Kawanishi should not be leaked for the time being, and ordered the 36th Infantry Brigade to collect his remains. After cremation, it will be carefully preserved, and nothing will be said until the battle is over.

At the same time, the Kunisaki detachment was ready to go, intending to bypass Taihu Lake and go straight to the rear of Jiaxing. Yanagawa Heisuke must leave the 20,000 Chinese murderers who killed the Japanese nobles on the battlefield. This is also his explanation to the Fujiwara family, otherwise, he will not Know how to answer the other person's questions.

It is precisely for this reason that Tanigawa Masanori, who looked like a dead mother, and Ushijima Sadao who was still secretly laughing over there, quietly escaped this disaster.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Fujiwara family, the Jiashan defense line might not have been broken yet, and their replacements would have already been on their way.

Due to an unexpected accident on the Japanese side, the Japanese troops in front of the Jiashan defense line temporarily stopped and waited for reinforcements 200 kilometers away to move towards Jiaxing.

As long as they hold back the group of Chinese in front of them for five days, and the Kunisaki detachment with 6,000 troops arrives behind the Chinese, the Chinese will be like turtles in the urn, unable to escape.

In order to prevent the Chinese from escaping, Ushijima Sadao did not hesitate to use personal connections to contact the Japanese naval fleet commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa, requesting him to send a reconnaissance plane every hour to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance twenty kilometers behind the Jiashan defense line.

The Chinese are still as tough as they were on the battlefield. Except for some heavy troops transporting supplies back and forth, no large-scale troop mobilization has been seen, which makes Ushijima Sadao quite relieved.

Annihilating 20,000 people was his last straw and he must not let them escape.

However, the Japanese navy's reconnaissance planes did not dare to get too close to the Chinese positions. The two consecutive bomber formations reminded them that the Chinese had anti-aircraft guns that could effectively shoot up to 1,500 meters, and they did not want to become the trophies of the Chinese.

Therefore, Ushijima Sadao did not know what the Chinese army on the opposite position was doing.

"Everyone pack up and prepare to evacuate in batches!" This was a secret military order issued by the Jiashan Front Command to each division and brigade early in the morning.

The large carts that were spotted by Japanese reconnaissance planes on the simple roads during the day were not a baggage train transporting supplies, but artillerymen transporting the last batch of wounded and disassembling mountain artillery for shipment.

The bold decision made by Lieutenant General Wu at this moment was amazing even to Tang Dao.

He used the most core heavy weapons of the entire army to play a psychological game with the Japanese. He bet that the Japanese would not use bombers to attack sporadic carriage convoys that seemed to have little tactical value.

Of course, all this was based on the fact that the Japanese Navy's bomber formation was beaten twice in a row. If it weren't for those two tragic wars, the Japanese Navy might be much greedier than it is now.

But this still requires enough courage.

If the artillery is lost, the 20,000-man army will completely lose its support for confronting the 18th Division. Once the fortifications are left, the Japanese artillery can bury the 20,000-man army in the wilderness.

Lieutenant General Wu's gamble was successful. During the whole day, the wounded and medical personnel hidden in the carriages were transported away as many as 1,000 people. Two of the three mountain artillery battalions were transported away. The three infantry divisions on the battlefield had also packed their luggage and were waiting for the night to come.

Just before the sun set, two infantry regiments filed out of the fortifications and evacuated along the road to the Jiaxing defense line more than 20 kilometers away in the thin night.

An hour later, there were two more.

Then, it was all the baggage troops. All the horses had their mouths tied with towels, and thick cotton cloth was tied on their hooves. The troops even wrapped their faces with towels. Even coughing was not allowed. Except for the vanguard troops walking in the front who could light a few torches, all the other soldiers could only grab the backpack straps of their comrades in front in the dark and move forward.

Within three kilometers from the front line, no sound was allowed except footsteps and wheel tracks.

In this way, according to the principle of evacuating one batch per hour, the evacuation started at five or six o'clock and lasted until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. The independent battalion, as the last batch to evacuate, started its journey.

Not alarming the Japanese scouts deployed in the wilderness to leave the position was just the beginning. Next, they had to carry a load of 12 kilograms per soldier and walk a long road of 25 kilometers in 7 hours to reach the defense line, which was the final victory.

Otherwise, the Japanese army, who found that the defense line was empty in the early morning, used fighter planes to bomb. The wilderness without cover was the most deadly. The current independent battalion did not have the strong air combat capability as before.

Sometimes, too many weapons, ammunition and various supplies are not necessarily a good thing, at least when running away.

All members should be lightly equipped, which is the most correct way to run away.

Undoubtedly, this is a new test for the newly established independent battalion.
