~.-~   Chapter 573: "Dust Sweeping Plan" to Sweep Japan Island (23)

As the saying goes, the enemy is narrow, and Li Zaimian would not have imagined that what he would meet in New Odaiba was actually Sawataro Saemon.

Since they only have less than 2,400 land officers and soldiers under their command, the Essay Island that needs to be defended is too large. Therefore, in the defense settings of Essay Island, Tu Fangsan could only choose to focus his future defense on the Box Hall, as well as the Jiangchai to the north of the Box Hall and Songqian to the west.

Even so, due to the lack of military strength, Tuyasui had to entrust the specific defenses of Jiangcha and Songqian to local defense soldiers who had their own military funds adapted from the vassal soldiers of the original Matsumae vassal.

What Tu Fangsan could do for these two places is to let Songqian and Jiangchai expand their troops, and actively send out their newly selected teams to transform the defense teams in both aspects of political and ideological and military work; the other is to force some troops from his few "Central Army" to form a mobile brigade and stationed in Mugune, so that at critical moments, the two places in Songqian and Songqian can also support Jiangchai at any time, of course, reinforcements can also be provided to the box hall.

At the beginning of the attack on the army's direction in the direction of the Hakkatan, whether it was Tuoka Yoshimi who was responsible for the final land comprehensive defense, or Matsuhira Taro and Sawa Taro Saemon, they would have a presumptuous judgment that when they were all suffering a sudden and violent blow, whether it was Echa or Matsumae, it should definitely be a disaster.

Therefore, in the first two days, although he had clearly felt the various crises caused by the extremely insufficient force, seeing that Sawataro Saemon could only fight the surging Korean army step by step with various defeated soldiers, Toshiba Suzumi still did not dare to take any soldiers and soldiers from the mobile brigade he placed in Kikunei.

It was not until the bloody battle in the box hall had entered the fourth day. When the news was finally confirmed to be a very exciting good news that reached Gorenoku, Torikatsu Shisan waved his hand with great excitement, "Since Jiang Cha and Matsuqian are invincible, they will quickly reinforce the box hall."

The "them" mentioned by Tuya Sui San at this moment no longer refers to the mobile brigade led by the mastermind who had been hiding in Mugu, but included some local defense soldiers in Matsuqian and Jiangcha.

If Chiyo Odaiba, who is surrounded by ruins and walls, with incomplete soldiers, and lying incomplete body, is the last stop of his life he chose for himself. Unfortunately, the very attractive Toshikazu Yoshizo is unwilling to let him, a fighter who dares to sacrifice his life at the last critical moment, who is the best example among samurai, go to "rest with peace of mind" forever so early.

So, at the last moment when Chiyo Odaiba was about to be completely destroyed, Toshiba Suzumi sent a suicide squad without hesitation, and pulled Zhataro Saemon back from Chiyo Odaiba's tomb, and arranged him to the new Odaiba, which should have been relatively quiet, to do a temporary "cultivation".

But Zhataro Saemon, who had been suffering from serious trauma on his forehead and left shoulder, had only been recuperating for less than two days. It was as if he was specifically looking for him to fight to the death, and Li Zaimian hurriedly rushed to the gate of Shin Odaiba again.

Zawataro Saemon's eyes immediately turned bloody again.

This time, Zhataro Saemon, whose eyes were red, was much more courageous and bold than the one he had in Chiyo Odaiba.

Because in Xinodianba, there were not only about 200 defeated soldiers and defeated soldiers, but nearly 800 strong men gathered around him.

The new Odaiba in the copycat Gorenoku is indeed as Li Zaimian had expected in advance, and its architecture is really not very solid. In addition, under the tight struggle of Yu Zaimian, whether it is personally guarding the Tuyasui San in Gorenoku or sticking to Quan Xian and Shenshan Odaiba, they are always in a state of constant tension, and no one dares to easily resolve the siege of New Odaiba. Li Zaimian's initial offensive in New Odaiba was naturally quite smooth.

Several peripheral warning positions located around Xintaichang were quickly cleaned up by Li Zaimian. Xintaichang was trapped in the encirclement of more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of Li Lian's Second Division. Apart from the mountains behind, the Japanese army in Xintaichang had no other way out.

On the morning of September 9, under the fierce shelling of Li Lian's Second Division, which was strengthened by the artillery battalion directly under the legion, the soil and rocks of Xintaichang flew away and smoke filled the sky. The cannons placed on the Xintaichang city walls were constantly dumb and overturned, and the Japanese soldiers in the city were even more pressed so that they could not even lift their heads. What was particularly terrifying was that after resistant to repeated shelling for nearly an hour, the southwest edge of Xintaichang's four edges finally could not stand it anymore, and with the rolling smoke, it collapsed helplessly.

The officers and soldiers of the Second Division of the brigade rushed into the moat like a tide, and pounced on the torn hole of Xinodianba in the thick smoke caused by the rows of grenades thrown out.

However, what Li Zaimian could not understand was that in Xinodian, he once again tasted the helplessness he had encountered in Chiyo Odaiba.

Driven by Zawataro Zaemon, who was still on the line of fire with injuries and the tenacious Aoma plan who also possessed a samurai, the Japanese soldiers in New Odaiba were all injected with chicken blood, and they fought back one after another until the sun was going west, and no alive military officers and soldiers rushed into New Odaiba.

Looking at the gap in the New Odaiba that had been stuffed by countless soldiers on both sides, Li Zaimian, with a bitter face, could only swear a bitter cry, preparing to fight again tomorrow.

Regarding the location of his command center, Li Zaimian made careful choices in advance.

He did not accept the suggestion of Li Lian, the leader of the Second Division, and arranged his command center a little southeast to the back of the Second Division. In front there was the headquarters of the Fourth Regiment of the Second Division, and behind it, there was a depression responsible for warning the enemy in the direction of Wulingguo. Instead, he climbed a small hill about one mile west of Li Lian's division headquarters.

In his opinion, not only is this place a very good view, but it can clearly see the extremely hot battlefield during the day, but all areas further west are still under the full coverage of the sea fleet.

But what Li Zaimian never expected was that the brave Japanese army would dare to pass through this area where the North Korean fleet could be fully covered by artillery fire from the sea at any time, and would sneak towards his command center.
