Chapter 185: Entering the Encirclement
The Snow Mountains were just ahead, and Sun Liangmou, with less than a hundred remaining soldiers, had difficulty making his way through the mountains and forests!
Not far behind are the Japanese army's pursuers!
Two days ago, the Japanese army finally completely occupied Yongling Town, an important node in the Snow Mountains!
The death of Hidekawa Juichiro did not cause any ripples!
Watanabe quickly took his place, and the Japanese army quickly passed through Yongling Town and continued to pursue forward!
Watanabe firmly believed that the enemy's main force was ahead! At least a division! Otherwise, how could they have such powerful firepower!
"Watanabe, are you sure it's the main force?"
"General Yamada, I'm sure! The enemy has at least one division of troops!"
Watanabe tried his best to hypnotize himself, telling himself that the enemy was a division! But he knew very well that he could see clearly through the telescope that the sparse enemy on the defense line was only a battalion at most! But sometimes telling the truth can be very hurtful! Especially when the leader doesn't want to hear the truth!
Order your advance troops to continue the pursuit! Make sure to annihilate them! They are so abominable that they almost ruined the entire Ice Cone Plan! Other directions are going well, we have to work hard now!"
"Hi!"
"Send a telegram to General Togo and tell him that our First Army has crossed Yongling, an important strategic stronghold of the enemy, and annihilated countless enemies! We are currently advancing in great strides! We will soon leave the Snow Mountains and enter the Jijiang Plain!"
The staff officer couldn't help but secretly look around. What was the point of killing countless enemies? Where were the enemies? The few scattered corpses on the battlefield could be counted with one hand!
The general is really good at bragging!
Togo Heijiro had been waiting for this news for several days. Seeing that it finally came, he was very excited. Although the small town of Yongling looked inconspicuous, it was in a very important position! If we take this place, the follow-up troops can attack from both sides! We can capture Jijiang and attack Fengtian!
"Order Yamada-kun to lead the First Army to attack Yoshie! I will personally lead the Second Army to attack Mukden!"
At this point, the Xianli Front Army is finally about to leave the snow-capped Mountains!
And what Xu Yan was waiting for was for them to come out on their own!
Outside the Snow Mountains, Xu Yan has prepared a super gift for the Japanese army!
He Jishen's armored forces, a total of two armored divisions, are quietly waiting for the arrival of prey on the Jijiang Plain!
Behind the armored forces were the elite field troops that Fang Tianlong had urgently transferred from Yacheng!
There is also an independent artillery unit at the back!
Everyone was waiting for the Japanese army to appear! The huge army was lying dormant on the Jijiang Plain! Like a lion waiting for its prey!
Yamada's attack went quite smoothly and he did not encounter any decent resistance along the way, which made him a little worried!
Has the enemy really been defeated? If we go any further, we will be out of the mountainous area! Once we reach the plain, there will be even less defense!
Could this be a trap? The enemy must have set an ambush for me not far away!
But every time when he became suspicious, a force would rush out and fight him!
At the same time, the attack by General Heijiro Togo seemed to be going very unsuccessfully!
In the end, they all agreed that the enemy's main force was on the Fengtian side! Jijiang was empty!
After reaching a consensus, Yamada no longer hesitated and ordered his troops to advance quickly and break through the mountainous area as quickly as possible!
He didn't know that if he stayed in the mountains, Xu Yan might not pay any attention to him, and the moment he left the mountains, he was doomed to be eliminated!
