"The 10th Division should now retreat to the vicinity of Yingkou. Now it is moving towards Lushun, and it will not take long to arrive. Lieutenant General Shigeyuki Hitohara said in a deep voice.

"Is the Shina army still attacking Golden State?" Admiral Anton Sadami said with a gloomy face.

"Your Excellency, we've figured it out. It was the guard regiment of the Zhina Army that attacked Jinzhou, which once served as the personal guard of Feng Yong, the young marshal of Zhina. The combat effectiveness is very strong. The Jinzhou security forces have been defeated by them, and the Lushun garrison has also suffered a lot of losses in their hands, if it were not for the fourth detachment stationed in Port Arthur, the Chinese troops are afraid of the firepower of the ship's heavy artillery, I am afraid that Lushun will really not be protected. Lieutenant General Nitahara said carefully. The guard regiment of the Northeast Army began to attack Jinzhou at the beginning of the Japanese landing. After several engagements, it didn't take much effort to break up the security forces in Golden State. Then it led to the Lushun garrison stationed in Lushun. Because the Lushun garrison was under the protection of heavy troops and naval fleets, the size of the troops was not large, and there was only one reinforced wing, with a strength of less than 3,000 troops. There is not much difference in the number of guards in China. The two forces fought several times on the land of the Liaodong Peninsula controlled by the Japanese. There were casualties on both sides. The Northeast Guard Regiment seemed reluctant to fight the Lushun garrison, and each time retreated before the decisive battle was about to be caused. Even so, the two sides were entangled for almost a month, and the Arthur garrison suffered heavy losses. Had to huddle in Port Arthur and defend it with the help of the heavy artillery of the Fourth Fleet.

Although the Guards Regiment was arrogant, it never stepped into the effective range of the ship-borne heavy guns of the Fourth Fleet. The entire Liaodong Peninsula was thus stalemate.

"Give electricity to the 10th Division. I don't want these pesky flies to roam the land of the Great Japanese Empire when the First Army arrives in Golden State. Admiral Anton Sadami said in a deep voice.

"Hay!"

"Report to Your Excellency General, an urgent telegram came from the 1st Division, and the 1st Division was suddenly attacked by the Chinese army."

Senior General Anton Sadami and Lieutenant General Shigeyuki Nitahara looked sink.

"How are the enemy's troops, and what is the state of the battle?" Admiral Anton Sadami asked urgently.

"Your Excellency, the troops attacking the 1st Division are about one regiment of the China. Because the troops were on the march, the 1st Division left part of its forces to hold back the chinas. The attacks of the Chinas did not slow down the advance of the great army. The herald said loudly.

"There is only one regiment?" Lieutenant General Shigeyuki Nitahara said with a suspicious face.

"Yes!" The herald affirmed.

"Got it. The 1st Division will take care of these little things. Admiral Anton Sarumi waved his hand absently and said. As the commander of an army, a troop engagement of this magnitude was not taken into account.

Ten minutes later.

"Report to Your Excellency the General, the First Division of our Army has been attacked by the Chinese army again?" The herald once again reported to Anton Sadami with a strange face.

"How's the troop?"

"It's still a regiment! The 1st Division has already repelled it! ”

"Got it!" Admiral Anton Sadami said in a deep voice.

"Commander, are you in a hurry with our sudden withdrawal, and you want to intercept the army of the Great Japanese Empire with a single regiment. It's really an egg hitting a stone. Lieutenant General Shigeyuki Nishigahara said disdainfully.

"No, it's not as simple as it seems. Chief of Staff, since our First Army landed on the land of China, we have had a lot of contact with the China Army, and we have become accustomed to their despicable and shameless methods. However, according to the information of the special high school, the Chinese people definitely have a lot of troops in the southern battlefield. Moreover, from the fact that the commander of the Chinese dared to attack the elite 10th Division of the Great Japanese Empire with two non-descendant brigades, and won a complete victory, he knew that the commander of the opposite Chinese was by no means a straw bag. According to the information of the special high division, the commander of the people on the opposite side of the country is named Zhenzhen. His grandfather was a Xiucai in the Manchu era, and he received a traditional education in China from an early age. I didn't go to a modern military school in China, and I didn't study abroad. The people who grew up in the decaying country of China were stunned to use those unseemly means to stop the attack momentum of the First Division of the Great Japanese Empire. With such means, he can already be called an excellent general. Such a person, no matter what, we should pay full attention. Anton Sadami said in a deep voice. Although in life his personality is more irritable. But on the battlefield, his mind is still very calm, otherwise he would not have become an army general. In Japan, in addition to the imperial family and top nobles, if you want to become an army general, you must have enough strength.

"Your Excellency, do you think this is a trick played by the Zhina?" Lieutenant General Shigeyuki Hitohara said in a low voice.

"Possibly." Admiral Anton Sadami is also not sure. After all, it is only based on the interception of a regiment of the Chinese people, and it is impossible to judge the enemy's purpose.

"Report to Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the 1st Division has been attacked again by the Chinese army, and the size is one regiment." The herald said.

"Could it be that the tens of thousands of troops of the First Division can't even take that regiment? Send a telegram to the 1st Division to kill this undead and alive Chinese army. "Anton Zhen's beautiful face sank like water. In just one hour, the powerful and elite First Division was attacked three times by a regiment of the Chinese people. This is an absolute disgrace for the 1st Division.

"Report to the division commander, this regiment of the Chinese people withdrew very decisively during the counterattack of the first division. Because the large army is on the march, it is difficult to launch an effective attack on them. The herald shouted.

"Damn the Shina people, do they want to stop the retreat of the Imperial Japanese Army so that they can buy time to gather their troops?" Lieutenant General Shigeyuki Nitahara said uncertainly.

"With this possibility, I remember that after the 1st Division went north, the Shina people divided quite a few troops to deal with our grain collection team. Inflicted considerable losses on the Imperial Japanese Army. Now that the Imperial Japanese Army has withdrawn, they will certainly not be reconciled. Rinda Hara-kun, the internal struggle of the Shina people is very severe. Moreover, this person named Zhen Zhen is very qualified in the Northeast Army of China, and he is the first old man to follow Feng Yong, the young marshal of China. Such a person is in a high position, but without the corresponding military merits, he will definitely not be reconciled. Now the empire's defeat on the Korean border battlefield has brought to the fore a new group of Chinese generals. It is also very likely that Zhen Zhen on the opposite side wants to gather troops and fight us in a decisive battle. In exchange for enough military merit to sit firmly in the current position. "Admiral Anton Sadami also has his own understanding. Their generation's perception of China's power is still stuck in the Manchu and Beiyang eras. There is a lack of understanding within the current Northeast Army. After all, it is difficult to change a person's perception in a short period of time.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, if the strength of the Chinese army is really more than the troops belonging to the first division. I think we should get rid of the Shina people as soon as possible, return to defend Jinzhou, with our backs to the sea, and the Imperial Japanese Army is not afraid of the Shina army. Lieutenant General Shigeyuki Hitohara suggested.

The information on the defeat of the North Korean army has been sent to them, and different people naturally have different opinions on the reasons for the defeat of the North Korean army, such as Lieutenant General Shigeyuki Intianhara, who believes that the biggest reason for the defeat of the North Korean army is that it is fighting across borders and cannot guarantee logistics. Now the 1st Division has traveled nearly 100 kilometers north, and its situation is very similar to that of the Korean army that was advancing at that time, and if the Chinese army launches a decisive battle at all costs, the 1st Division may not be able to please even if its reputation is resounding. If something happens to the 1st Division again, the blow to the Japanese Army will be fatal.

"Alright! Send a telegram to the 1st Division, ordering their troops to speed up their advance and not to give the Chinaites time to gather their troops. "General Anton Sadami's mind is still clear. There is no confusion in the mind of a possible decisive battle. However, what General Anton Sadami and others could not have imagined was that it was their cautious attitude that brought the 1st Division into danger.

Northeast Army, Headquarters of the Southern Theater of Operations.

"The sixth regiment has completed the attack mission, and the Japanese army has left a squadron to block it, which has been swallowed by the sixth regiment in one bite, and the troops have finished cleaning the station commander and are moving quickly!"

"The Eighth Regiment completed the attack mission, the Japanese army chose to counterattack, and before the Japanese army launched a counteroffensive, the Eighth Regiment broke away from contact with the Japanese army, and the preliminary judgment of this battle caused hundreds of losses to the Japanese army. The troops are moving towards the next staging area. ”

"The 10th Regiment completed the attack mission, and the Japanese left a brigade to be responsible for sniping, and the 10th Regiment severely damaged this brigade, and now the troops are being transferred."

“……”

A series of orders made the entire Southern Theater headquarters lively.

Zhen Zhen looked at the map with a solemn expression, and there was an indescribable firmness between his eyebrows.

"Commander, the battle plan has unfolded as you think! It's just that this only caused hundreds of casualties to the Japanese army at one time, and it is difficult to affect the large force of tens of thousands of Japanese troops, right? Qian Zhuangfei said worriedly.

"Nope! Now is just the beginning, the Japanese army is not stupid to let us cut the meat, our current attack is more tentative. At the same time, it was also intended to slow down the advance of the Japanese army. The scout troops of the Japanese army were not so simple. As the Japanese army strengthened its alert and expanded the search area. It will be difficult for the troops to attack. Only then will we be tested. Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Commander, is it too much for our troops to move on a large scale and only inflict such small casualties on the Japanese army? And if it goes on like this, it may also affect the morale of the fighters. Qian Zhuangfei was puzzled.

"Don't worry, what the war needs is patience, and the combat effectiveness of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army should not be underestimated. It's understandable that we're starting to suffer losses. But when the fighters got used to this attack, it was when the Japanese army was unlucky, don't forget. Scouts' reconnaissance is powerful during the day, but its effectiveness at night is greatly reduced. Zhen Zhen smiled nonchalantly.

When Zhenzhen was planning for the war, the headquarters of the Liaodong Theater and the Changchun Major Marshal's Mansion were all nervously concerned, after all, this is the only battlefield in the Northeast that is currently in the crossfire.
