Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

As soon as the Japanese army was about to retreat, the offensive resistance of Lin Yuan's troops decreased a lot. They immediately reported to Xiao Yingwu. When Xiao Yingwu heard that the Japanese army was retreating, he immediately called for his staff and said, "Many Japanese troops have abandoned their positions. It seems that the Japanese army is going to conduct a strategic retreat."

A staff officer said: "However, Japan's territory is small and lacks strategic depth, and the Seto Inland Sea is under our control. Where will they retreat?"

Xiao Yingwu pointed to Oita County on the map, and said, "This should be where the Japanese army wants to go."

All the staff officers nodded and said, "Dafen County is surrounded by mountains, which is suitable for defense, but the mountains here are not high enough to be a fortress against our army."

Xiao Yingwu said: "Even so, we couldn't let them enter Oita County smoothly. We ordered the four divisions in the south to move to the east to intercept the retreating Japanese troops. Stop the Japanese troops."

Give an order, and all the troops immediately attacked the Japanese army according to the order. The first to attack was the 5th and 8th Divisions on the right line of Fukuoka. Among all the participating troops, these two troops always fought defensive battles. The ferocious firepower killed and injured the enemy, so the combat effectiveness was relatively intact, so they were the first to launch the counterattack.

However, the four Japanese divisions on the east front of Fukuoka have been fighting offensive battles, with relatively large losses, and have not deployed defensive positions. They failed to organize a strong defense when they retreated. Lin Yuan's troops directly bit the large troops, Nogi Xidian had no choice but to order the large troops to turn back to defend, but during this time, the 2nd Division of Lin Yuan's troops quickly defeated the left wing of the Japanese army and outflanked the Japanese army's rear.

It turned out that the commander of the left wing of the Japanese army did not deploy a retreat plan. As a result, the rear guard troops were insufficient and the deployment was scattered. They were soon divided and surrounded by Lin Yuan's troops, and they were completely eaten up. Hearing this news, Nogi Xidian scolded the 101st Division The commander of the regiment ordered the troops to step up their retreat.

However, the speed of the Japanese army was not as fast as that of Lin Yuan's army. The reason was simple: Lin Yuan's army used cars to maneuver, while the Japanese army used two legs to maneuver. There was a huge difference. Although the Japanese army was also equipped with trucks, the Japanese army had no fuel , and the truck technology of the Japanese army originated from China. When China sold the technology, it replaced the relevant parts of the engine. As a result, the fuel consumption per kilometer of the exported truck was 0 liters higher than that of the Lin Yuan army's own model. Although the figure is small, it is The trucks have a huge amount of equipment and a greater mileage, so the fuel burden of the Japanese army is much heavier than that of Lin Yuan's troops.

The Japanese army was surrounded by more than a dozen cities and villages. At eleven o'clock in the morning, Lin Yuan instructed the participating troops: "Use the tactic of 'dismembering the corpse with random blades' to quickly disintegrate the Japanese army." The classic tactic of annihilating troops after successfully outflanking the enemy. This tactic fully utilizes the advantages of Lin Yuan's troops with excellent weapons and equipment and strong individual fighting qualities. To annihilate the enemy army, both the Russian army and the Qing army used to be the "ghost under the knife" of this tactic.

Just when Lin Yuan's troops were using the tactics of "dismembering corpses with chaotic blades", the 24th Division, 48th Division, and 49th Division marched northward and joined the battlefield. The Japanese army retreated steadily. The temporary defense lines all collapsed, and the Japanese army was forced to move into the urban area to fight with Lin Yuan's troops. At this time, Nogi Xidian's headquarters was in chaos, and the busiest people were the correspondents. As the Japanese army units left their original positions, the new telephone line was temporarily unavailable. connected, but the Japanese army did not dare to use the radio for a long time, so many troops could not find Nogi Xidian.

The members of the command once again felt the coming of failure. Mizuki Nagata said to Nogi Nozomi: "General, I think we should withdraw to Honshu Island as soon as possible. Although there are Lin Yuan's troops on the sea, if we disguise ourselves and dress up as ordinary people, Lin Yuan's troops will never find us."

Nogi Nozomi said sadly: "In this big defeat, our Great Japanese Empire lost eight divisions, nearly 50 people! With such a big loss, what face do I have to see the Emperor?"

Mizuki Nagata said: "General, the forward of Lin Yuan's troops is less than one kilometer away from us. If we don't retreat as soon as possible, Lin Yuan's troops will definitely find us."

Just as Nogi Xidian was about to speak, he suddenly heard a burst of gunfire from outside. An officer covered in dirt and black and gray rushed into the command post and shouted loudly: "General, it's not good, Lin Yuan The troops are coming and are already exchanging fire with our guard brigade."

The people in the headquarters all panicked when they heard this, and Nogi Xidian yelled sharply: "What are you panicking? Isn't the gun of Lin Yuan's army still on our heads?" Nogi Xidian's majesty calmed down everyone's flustered mood. After a while, Nogi Xidian said: "I order: retreat to the east and approach the first division."

Everyone in the headquarters heard the order and hurriedly packed their things. Lin Yuan's troops outside didn't even know that Nogi Xidian's headquarters was in these small houses in front of them. They saw a large number of Japanese guards here, and knew that this place might be someone The command post, they wanted to break in, but seeing that the Japanese troops outside were extremely powerful, they couldn't take it for a while, so they decided: don't get entangled with this Japanese army, and continue to penetrate deep into the Japanese army, but the mortars and shells are behind It's too heavy, why don't you throw the shells into those little houses!

So the commander ordered the troops to set up mortars and bombard the small house, a series of shells flew over, and one shell just landed on the house where Nogi Xidian was. The explosion shook the beams of the house, and the beams fell just in time. Hitting Nogi Nozomi on the head, Nogi Nozomi passed out on the spot, so Mizuki Nagata took someone away to take Nogi Nozomi away, and went all the way to the beach, wanting to find a boat to go to sea and return to Honshu Island.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the battle basically ended. The eight divisions of the Japanese army that participated in the battle were completely annihilated. Thirteen divisions, two brigades, a total of 43 troops, and nearly 100 million troops from both sides, which is rare in human history.

Due to the use of a large number of high-firing weapons and modern transport machinery by both sides, this battle with a scale of up to 100 million people was settled in only two days, which made people realize the cruelty of modern warfare.
