Chapter 41: Shocked and Retreating to See Shangwen (Please Save)

When Takeda Hideyama's body was carried in front of Tachimi Naofumi, the military god of the Great Japanese Empire was silent for a long time.

Half a day, in just half a day, he lost a regiment commander and several squadron commanders.

How embarrassed was this military god!

"Gentlemen, the failure of this attack was due to my carelessness and failure to understand the strength of the Chinese. Here, I ask for your forgiveness." Tachimi Naofumi bowed his head deeply and said with a sad face.

"Major General!"

"Tachimi-kun!"

The generals around were panicked when they heard his self-blame and knelt down in a hurry.

Originally, they still had a little opinion of Tachimi Naofumi in their hearts, but now as soon as Tachimi Naofumi apologized, they disappeared without a trace.

"It's not your fault, Major General. It's all the fault of the Imperial Intelligence Department."

"Yes, Mr. Tachimi, judging from the previous offensive situation, our army has worked hard, and Mr. Tachimi's command has not been wrong. It's just that the Chinese army must have lost their morale and no combat effectiveness as shown by the Imperial Intelligence Department."

"Yes, Major General, the Chinese fortifications are well-organized, and some of them are unheard of. This is why the army of the Great Japanese Empire suffered a great loss. But I believe that under the command of your Excellency, Major General, we will be able to tear open the Qing army's defense line and achieve the final victory."

"Major General, please continue to lead us to attack!"

The generals all prostrated themselves and asked.

Hearing the words of the generals, Naofumi Tachimi raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Gentlemen, it is an honor for me to have you as my subordinates."

"Now, please put aside the grief in your hearts, continue to attack, break through the Chinese positions, and avenge Takeda-kun." Naofumi Tachimi said sincerely.

No matter who killed Takeda Hideyama, it is certain that he died in this battle, so there is nothing wrong with Naofumi Tachimi blaming the Chinese on the opposite side.

"Mr. Nishijima, the 18th Regiment is ready to attack. First, send a small number of soldiers to explore the strengths and weaknesses of the Qing army's positions, find the weak areas of the enemy's positions, and then attack."

Nagomi Tachimi immediately adjusted the offensive strategy. He did not believe that the enemy's positions were all impregnable and there must be flaws.

"Hi!"

"Xiao Zhengjun!..."

Tachimiya Naofumi began to deploy troops calmly, as if the old man who cried for Takeda Hideyama just now was not him.

Just as Tachimiya Naofumi deployed troops and prepared to continue the attack.

On the peak of Dagaoling, on the left side of the temporary Japanese garrison, there was a team of more than a thousand people quietly lurking in the deep forest.

This team was composed of part of the Yi Army and Zhou Dingchen's Yi Camp.

Although Song Qing took away most of his Yi Army, he still left some troops in Dagaoling, led by Ma Jinxu, who had fought side by side with Nie Shicheng before.

Zhou Dingchen and Ma Jinxu lay behind a rock, holding a telescope and looking down at the Japanese's actions.

Zhou Dingchen originally wanted to support the Yong Camp, but when Nie Shicheng saw that the Yong Camp fought well and was evenly matched with the Japanese, he immediately changed his mind.

As the saying goes, the first blow is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.

The Japanese came with victory and momentum, and if they can be forced to retreat today.

When they fight again in the future, the Japanese will definitely not have the current sharpness.

Therefore, Nie Shicheng ordered Zhou Dingchen and Ma Jinxu to lead more than a thousand people and sneak to the left side of their station while the Japanese were attacking.

"I didn't expect that a small sentry officer in your Luyu Defense Army would have such ability." Ma Jinxu lowered his head and said to Zhou Dingchen in a deep voice.

The two had witnessed the second setback of the Japanese attack, and it seemed that an important general was lost.

Ma Jinxu was surprised and asked who was defending the position. Zhou Dingchen, who was also a Luyu Army, knew it clearly and told him the truth.

Zhou Dingchen nodded happily and said, "Wei Zijie performed brilliantly in this battle. I'm afraid even Marshal Nie didn't expect it."

"Okay, it's time for us to take action." Ma Jinxu pointed at the Japanese troops and said with a smile.

"As you wish!" After Zhou Dingchen finished speaking, he turned his head and shouted with full energy: "Raise the flags, sound the drums and horns!"

Woo...

Dongdong...

Bursts and drums!

It spread throughout the battlefield in an instant, completely suppressing the neighing of the Japanese war horses.

The Japanese soldiers followed the sound and saw that in the deep forest on the left, there were flags of the Qing army flying everywhere. It seemed that there were thousands of troops ambushed there, waiting to give them a fatal blow.

Most of the Japanese soldiers changed their color and stopped involuntarily.

The Chinese are going to counterattack?

"Report, Major General, the Chinese have ambushed a force of several thousand men on the left, and they have blown the horn of attack."

When Li Jian Shangwen heard the loud noise and led a group of generals out of the temporary command post, a sergeant came to report.

"Not good, we have fallen into the scheme of the old man Nie Shicheng!" Li Jian Shangwen's mind turned over and over, and finally this thought suddenly came to his mind.

No wonder, no wonder our army attacked Lianshan Pass easily, but could not conquer this place for a long time.

It must be the plan of the old man Nie Shicheng. This old man set up an ambush here, and then slowly led our army into the ambush circle, and finally cut off our army's path. He wanted to annihilate my tenth brigade. He really has a big appetite.

Nie Shicheng must have gathered all the troops of the Eastern Route Army.

For a moment, Naofumi immediately took a breath of air. The more he thought about it, the more critical the situation became, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

"Quick, pass my order, the whole army will retreat immediately! Immediately, immediately, now." Naofumi immediately shouted in panic. His generals had rarely seen him so frightened.

Immediately seeing Naofumi's expression affected everyone's mood.

The generals rushed down one by one in a panic. Soon, the Japanese army became commotion and changed their offensive posture to a hurried retreat.

This is? The Japanese retreated, and Wei Jichen watched dumbfounded as the enemy troops raised a cloud of dust and quickly retreated to the rear. If the Japanese troops hadn't panicked and stayed in formation, Wei Jichen would have wanted to lead his men in pursuit.

Also, there was loud drumming in the mountains on the left just now. When did our army ambush a large number of sergeants there? Why didn't I get any news at all?

Wei Jichen rubbed his chin and was confused, but he was relieved to see the Japanese retreat.

In the General Command Post of the Qing Army in Dakaoling, when Nie Shicheng saw the Japanese troops retreating quickly, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Feng Guozhang said with a smile on his face: "Shuai Nie is wise. He made our army retreat the enemy without firing a shot as soon as he came up with a suspicious strategy. If Shangwen understood this immediately, he would be half angry to death."

It turned out that this was just a suspicious strategy devised by Nie Shicheng.

Nie Shicheng shook his head with a smile and said: "I didn't expect this strategy to be so effective. It's a pity that this strategy can only be used once and for all. However, in today's battle, Yongzi Camp should take the greatest credit. If they hadn't repelled the enemy forces time and time again, It makes Tachimi Naofumi suspicious, I'm afraid he won't retreat so cleanly."

Feng Guozhang smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I would also like to congratulate Commander Nie for adding a wise and brave general to our Luyu Defense Army."

"Hahaha," Nie Shicheng said with a hearty smile, stroking his beard, "This is the same joy, the same joy."

Nie Cairong, who was standing not far away, saw his grandfather looking so happy. He couldn't help but secretly feel jealous. Like a lost child, he lightly stamped his feet and thought: "It's Wei Jichen again. This Wei Jichen is really haunted." "Scattered."
