The continued pursuit of the Northwest Mobile Force finally lost the last hope of Tachikawa Koichiro's army. All the surviving days, including Tachikawa Koichiro, were running wildly. Even Tachikawa Koichiro's side was only a few soldiers. The tactical abilities shown by the Northwest Army made him completely desperate. Those armored trucks and tricycles were like maggots. They chased them and fought, and their losses were less than half. However, during the pursuit battle, the number of losses continued to increase, and every minute, someone fell down.

Fortunately, after only chasing for more than ten kilometers, the Northwest Army stopped chasing. Most of the Takaha Koichiro's troops had suffered casualties, and the rest were some defeated soldiers. They fled in scattered areas and spread across the vast wilderness. If they continued to pursue, the mobile troops must also be dispersed. They knew that ordinary armored cars and tricycles were not armored vehicles or tanks, and they were scattered and pursued, which was very likely to cause casualties. After achieving their goal, Chen Liang was unwilling to continue taking risks. After chasing for more than ten kilometers, he stopped chasing.

Seeing that all the motor vehicles were retreating, Takaha Koichiro let out a long breath. It was so terrible. The Northwest Army was indeed well-known. 3,000 people defeated them 12,000 people, but why did their machine guns be equipped with so many artillery?

Mortars have not appeared in the world military field, and it is normal for Japan to know that. It is strange that those small cannons with strange ranges only treat them as infantry cannons or war defense cannons that can carry conveniently. Even such cannons are too dense in the northwest. There are about 3,000 people and about 200 cannons. As Koichiro Tachikawa knows, no country's regular army will equip the army with so many cannons. Not to mention whether the finance can hold it, even if it can hold it, how can the logistics be supplied. The pressure on the logistics of artillery is far greater than that of the rifles, and the firing rate of those cannons is so fast.

Takaya Koichiro, who couldn't figure it out, had to stay there and gather some defeated soldiers, but the investigation team's attack on him was too fierce. From the moment he escaped, the damage was destined, with 12,000 troops. He finally only gathered 1,200 people, half of which were still gathered on the way back. Among these people, only half were armed with weapons and even fewer bullets.

With a sigh, Takaha Koichiro took his men back in shame. On the way, he met Kamio Mitsumon and the main Japanese army. They had completed the rectification in a few hours. Except for leaving a little logistics force, the rest were all brought with them.

There are so many 15-inch artillery in Qingdao. It seems to be an important area. Tatehua Koichiro's troops are just a vanguard. What really needs to work is that most of the main force has not been lost. The 18th Division, which has full firepower, just walked halfway up the road. I heard the fierce fire exchange in front. It must have been Tatehua Koichiro who took the enemy, but in terms of location, it was a bit far from the fort. Have you encountered the defenders of Qingdao?

No matter what it was, Kanou Mitsuno had to speed up, but soon, just when Kanou Mitsuno was on the road, the gunshots had stopped, Kanou Mitsuno was a little confused. Did it win? But soon, an hour later, they collided with the defeated soldiers of Takaha Koichiro's army. In fact, these Japanese defeated soldiers had nowhere to escape. They were surrounded by Chinese people. They naturally chose the landing location. At this time, they were greatly stimulated, and even the military formation began to attack.

Kamio Mitsumon ruled the army very strictly. Seeing these defeated soldiers rushing over with no brains, they began to kill people after several failed orders. After killing more than a dozen completely lost defeated soldiers, the Japanese stabilized the situation and received information that shocked them from the mouths of these defeated soldiers. It turned out that it was not Takara Koichiro who won, but encountered a team of 3,000 people in the northwest. They completely failed and suffered heavy losses.

Before Kamio Koichen summoned the others, Takaha Koichen was back. Compared with those defeated soldiers who were unruly, he spoke more clearly. The number of people, combat power and artillery weapons of the other party were said one by one. After hearing Takiya Koichen's words, Kakashi Koichen's face looked quite ugly.

Tachiha Koichiro's story is basically the fact. Besides, the confessions of the previous defeated soldiers can basically be matched. Although Kamio Koichiro still has some questions about the number of the Northwest Army, there is a powerful army in front of him, which is beyond doubt. They have built a solid position in the south and defeated the 12,000 Japanese army. Although Tachiha Koichiro's army lacks enough heavy firearms, should they continue to move south?

Kamio Koichen could not make a decision, so they had to call Kawamura Sogoro and Koizumi Masao. Takiya Koichen was very disturbed. Half of the division team only came back, but only a few hundred or a thousand people came back. What exactly happened to them were also very strange. They were thinking about the way to get to Kamio Koichen, and they almost met together on the way.

When they heard Tachikawa Koichiro's retelling experience, the two of them immediately became very bad. Under such circumstances, the Qingdao defenders sent out mobile troops. According to their distance from Qingdao, they should have been prepared. The attack of the joint fleet had no secrets in front of others. This time it was also a trap.

If this happens, it will be dangerous. Several senior officers all realize that their current situation is already quite dangerous. It is a slight consequence of the entire army being wiped out. The transport ship has either been sunk or rushed to the shore and cannot be used at all. In this sense, the possibility of escaping from the sea is gone. Besides, even if there are transport ships, they cannot escape. After all, the joint fleet has been wiped out and is surrounded by the control of the Northwest Navy. Even if there are ships, they cannot escape from the sea. After just encountering it, no one wants to come again. They are the army and have strong combat power on land, but they have all their skills at sea, but they cannot play any of them. When the ship is sunk, they can only fall into the sea and drown. No one can try that kind of taste again.

There is no way at sea, so what to do on land? This is the only idea of ​​several people. The division commander is already a high-ranking official in the Japanese army sequence. The entire Japanese military has only 18 permanent divisions, and the army headquarters is only twenty or thirty. They are not a bag of wine. Almost everyone knows that going south is very dangerous, and the best thing is to go north.

If it were the previous China, let alone tens of thousands of people, even thousands of people, they would dare to walk on the land of China. But now, it is not possible. Although they did not get much information in the war between the northwest and Russia, Russia's millions of troops did not have any results, but instead suffered losses. This is a fact and an unchangeable fact. Not to mention whether the Russian army is first-class or second-class, at least it is also Russia's main force. During the Russo-Japanese War, Japan had a considerable understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Russian army. Even if it was second-class, its combat effectiveness was not weak. As for the northwest, it can refer to its combat effectiveness. However, the first-class army was defeated before, and it might be an elite force. Besides, if Qingdao was not a trap, it means that Qingdao could not go there. Then passing through the Jiaozhou Peninsula and heading to the Beiyang camp is the most correct choice.

Kamio Mitsumon took out the map and found their location. Because coming to meet with Takaha Koichiro, it was a waste of a lot of time. It would take at least 2 hours to return to the landing place from here, and it had been more than 5 hours back and forth. If they had not chosen the Qingdao direction at that time, but went directly north, they might have been able to escape.

At this time, they had no time to care whether they could escape. The situation is urgent now and they must find a way to leave Jiaozhou Bay, otherwise everything will be over.

The news of Japan's cooperation with the Revolutionary Party and Beiyang did not expand on a large scale. Kamio Koji only knew that there was a cooperation, but it was absolutely impossible to cross Jiaozhou Bay, or even Anhui and Jiangsu to the revolutionary Party's territory. So there was only one choice for them, Beiyang territory.

Beiyang is not strong enough and cannot raise his head in front of Japan. So according to the map I obtained before, as long as I pass through the Jiaozhou Peninsula for more than 100 kilometers, I can reach the Beiyang territory, and even stationed in Shandong, a town in Beiyang. As long as I enter their defense zone, it should be safe.

"Okay, our time is limited, and we don't have time to delay any further. We must set off quickly. The wounded and some unnecessary supplies can also be given up. In the landing area, a line of defense can be formed, which can be regarded as delaying the pursuit soldiers as much as possible!" Kamio Mitsumon was very decisive and quickly gave up some of them, which may affect the retreat. For this, the two division commanders felt that it was very normal. They were not in charge of soldiers. If they could not make good choices, how could they defeat the enemy? Various unexpected events occurred. Their situation was already very sinister and they could not have any kindness.

Next, he was preparing, integrating and transferring. After deciding, it was a fight for every second. Tatehua Koichiro lost the soldiers he led, and the remaining defeated soldiers were also disbanded and entered other divisions. It was equivalent to taking his position directly and being temporarily acted as the deputy of Kamio Koichiro. Tatehua Koichiro had no complaints about this. Only by doing as well as possible in his current position can he wash away his mistakes.

In the 20 minutes without interruption, the Japanese army quickly turned and headed northwest, and they did not notice that above the clouds, a specially painted airship was quietly hanging them 10 kilometers away, and slowly following them. (To be continued.)
