I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 491: I’ll bully you, what?

News that our army had moved to Shouxian County and Heyuan County immediately reached the First Army Headquarters in Jinyang City.

Hanagu Junzhi held two broken telegrams from the Shouxian defenders and the remnants of the 8th Brigade, and he wanted to kill them with his sword.

Crazy roar:

"idiot!

Tuba Road!

Deceiving too much!

If you have the guts, come to Jinyang!

Why are the locust troops bullying my small and remote counties? "

If Yang Yuanshan heard this, he would probably be furious on the spot.

Then he immediately replied: Idiot, I’m going to bully you in a remote small county, what’s wrong?

Have you never heard of rural areas surrounding cities?

If you haven’t heard of it, go home and study for two more years!

Hanatani Junzhi became furious, smashed several teacups, and then drew a knife and smashed a table before finally calming down.

Then he felt a chill on his back.

The map of Jin Dynasty has long been engraved in his mind.

Now he doesn't need to look at the map to know how dangerous the situation in northwest Shanxi is now.

Without thinking, you can guess that our army's next goal is definitely Shuiquan City!

He immediately ordered the telegraph operator:

"Quickly, send a report to Lord Pinglu in Shuiquan, asking him to shrink his troops and strengthen the defense of Shuiquan City to guard against Tubal Road attacks."

The telegraph operator took the order and left. Hanatani Junichi sat on his chair, like a puddle of mud.

He knew that when the battle in southern Shanxi ended, it would be the time when he, Junyuki Hanagani, would be transferred to the reserve force.

……

Shuiquan City.

The fourth independent brigade was formed. The commander of the brigade, Major General Isao Hirakawa, was sitting in his brigade headquarters with a serious look on his face.

He was in a bad mood.

In the previous series, my Sakata Regiment was deactivated due to issues with the regiment flag. My brigade of more than 8000 people instantly turned into a brigade of less than 5000 people, and its combat effectiveness was directly reduced by half.

Later he was transferred to the battlefield in southern Shanxi. He was full of ambition and prepared to lead his warriors to fight bravely, trying to let General Okamura see his bravery and help him make up for the missing regiment. However, he did not expect that before the battle started, he He also received an order to garrison in Shuiquan City.

The opportunity to kill generals, seize flags, and make meritorious deeds was directly lost.

Fortunately, he later received a telegram from the First Army Chief of Staff Hanatani Junyuki, saying that a Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment was sent to him to enhance his mobile combat capabilities.

So he looked forward to it, hoping that Kuroshima Morita and his people would come quickly so that he could lead the army out of the city earlier to sweep away the Tuba Road who were causing trouble everywhere.

I reluctantly vented my depressed mood.

However, what he didn't expect was that the idiot Kuroshima Morita had his entire army wiped out before he could reach Shuiquan.

He didn't even have time to send troops to support!

It’s simply trash among trash!

He has never heard of a cavalry regiment being surrounded by Tubal Road!

This is simply unreasonable!

Shame on you and throw it to the base camp!

This even made him a little lucky. Fortunately, this trash didn't come under his command and it would be over. At least it wouldn't hurt him.

After all, Heiraku Yongfu has heard a saying: Don't hang out with fools, they will easily be implicated when struck by lightning.

The long-awaited supplement was gone, and Hiragakuo Yuuo had no choice but to accept the reality and stay in Shuiquan honestly.

Then he selected hundreds of people from the city's expats, ronin, coal mine policemen and other random people, and organized and trained two squadrons as his own backup force.

His superiors did not have the troops to supply him, so he had to find a way on his own.

I have to say, this guy is quite capable.

However, before the supplementary troops of his two squadrons were fully trained, he received an urgent call from a nearby county——

"Yang County is attacked by the main force of Tubal Road. The enemy's artillery fire is fierce and the situation is precarious. We request tactical guidance. It is urgent!"

Yangxian County is only 25 kilometers away from Shuiquan. If we march urgently, we can arrive in two or three hours. However, Pinglu Yongfu is very confused and does not know whether to send reinforcements to support.

After all, after the former Eighth Brigade suffered a heavy setback in Heyuan County, General Okamura sent a message to various places asking them not to leave the city at will.

Once you are ambushed by Tubal Road outside the city, you will be severely punished!

At this time, Colonel Imamura Gunpei, chief of staff of the brigade, hurriedly walked in and reported:

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we received a call from Jinyang City Headquarters, asking us to reduce our troops to defend against Tubal Road attacks."

"Nani? Shrink your troops?

Is our locust army so weak now? "

Hiragakuo Yongfu couldn't believe it. A year ago, when Tuba Road saw the strength of their two squadrons, they would run away!

Now, it's okay to be able to fight them until they can't leave the city. After all, there is a reason. The battle in southern Shanxi cannot be delayed, but now the headquarters actually allows them to actively reduce their troops. This is too outrageous!

Imamura Gunpei explained with a very ugly face:

"It is said that Tubal Road attacked Heyuan County today. Within a few hours, the remaining two large brigades of the 8th Brigade were completely wiped out!

Now, the entire Eighth Brigade has been completely wiped out from the Locust Army's establishment! "

"Nani?

Is the independent mixed eighth brigade gone?

Baghya Road!

These damn country rats..."

Hiragakuo Yongfu took a deep breath and then cursed loudly.

After a long while, he calmed down and asked Imamura Junpei:

"Imamura-kun, how do you think we should shrink our troops?"

"Abandon Yang County and Ping'an County, and withdraw the troops of the squadrons in these two counties to the commanding heights around Shuiquan to help defend Shuiquan!"

Imamura Gunpei answered.

Since ancient times, city defense has never been able to rely solely on city wall defense.

It is also necessary to make use of the favorable terrain outside the city to form strategic depth and leave sufficient room for maneuver for oneself, so that it can be defended.

If it is just an isolated city, no matter how tightly guarded it is, it will easily fall.

Especially now is no longer the age of ancient cold weapons. There are now various powerful artillery. Once the siege party sets up artillery at the commanding heights and bombards the city, the defenders' front will be greatly shaken.

Now, at the commanding heights on the east and west sides of Shuiquan, Hirakawa Yongfu has deployed troops to garrison them, but they are still slightly weak.

That's why Imamura Gunpei now makes such a suggestion.

Hearing this, Hirakata Yongfu couldn't help but hesitate.

After a moment he said:

“Now we only have Yang County under attack, and there is no movement in Ping’an County.

Why not withdraw the squadron from Yang County to Pingan County and stick to it?

In this way, Ping'an County can have a large force of troops. When the time comes, Ping'an County and Shuiquan will be horns with each other, and we will be safer! "

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, since Tubal Road can capture Heyuan County with sufficient troops, their strength must be extraordinary.

Although Ping'an County has not been attacked now, once they attack, should we rescue or not?

If we don't save it, even if there is a large group of troops guarding it, it may not be able to be stable.

As for rescue, although Shuiquan is less than 10 kilometers away from Pingan County, once Tubal Road sets an ambush on the road, we will lose the geographical advantage, which is very disadvantageous! "

Imamura Gunpei explained.

“Yoshi!

What Mr. Imamura said makes sense.

Immediately send a report to Yang County and Ping'an County, ordering them to withdraw from Shuiquan overnight without any delay! "

Hiragakuo Yufu followed the good advice and immediately made a decision based on Imamura Gunpei's suggestion.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, should all the supplies in these two counties be burned?"

Imamura Gunpei asked.

Since it is an emergency retreat now, it is naturally impossible to bring all kinds of food, cloth and other supplies, which will affect the marching speed.

That's why he asked.

Hearing this question, Hiragaku Yufu also scratched his head.

Fuso is a small country with few resources. If it hadn't occupied Liaodong and plundered and exploited it like crazy, it wouldn't be able to support today's millions of troops.

Therefore, the supplies of the Locust Army are always very tight.

The base camp has repeatedly ordered that the troops stationed in various places must not waste any materials, otherwise military law will be imposed.

If he now directly orders the burning of supplies by Hirakata Yongfu, he may inevitably be held accountable by his superiors later.

Although a little rebuke couldn't hurt him at all, General Pinglu, it would inevitably cause some loss of face.

After pondering for a moment, he finally chose the solution that both wanted and wanted——

“All supplies in Yang County were burned.

Since Ping'an County has not been attacked by Tubal Road, all the food must be transported back to Shuiquan without leaving a single grain behind! "

"Hi!"
