Volume 1 Unsettled Times Chapter 212 Two Lands

The battle is still stalemate.

On the Northeast battlefield, after Zhang Zuolin's 27th Army experienced the heavy lessons of the Japanese sneak attack, the Buyunshan defense line was in full swing after wave of attacks by various Japanese divisions. The defense line was shaking several times, but in the end, the Japanese did not break through and blocked the opponent's footsteps with the flesh and blood of the soldiers.

The entire Buyunshan front line has almost become a cruel "meat stirrer". Since the Battle of Buyunshan, more than 30,000 people have been filled in. In addition, the losses of the 54th Division at the beginning of the war, the casualties of about 50,000 were as high as 50,000. It can be said that Zhang Zuolin had almost put all his capital in to stop the Japanese. If the central government had not been cheering Zhang Zuolin for helping Zhang Zuolin and ensuring all the conveniences for the reconstruction of the 27th Army after the war, and Fang Zida had also privately promised many benefits to Zhang Zuolin through Yang Du, and mobilized the central bank to give Zhang Zuolin a huge sum of funds to calm the hearts of the people, he would probably have been unable to support it long ago.

On the battlefield in the Northeast, not only did the Twenty-Seventh Army lose huge losses, but even a brigade of the reinforced Twenty-Eighth Army almost fought for nothing on the Buyunshan front line. In addition, a division quickly transferred from the Central Army, the total casualties of the ** team in the ** team was 70,000.

Of course, China suffered huge losses and the Japanese army was not feeling well. Yamaguchi Katsu's 10th Division attacked the Buyunshan front for five days, with casualties of up to one multi-department, but no progress was made. Because it could not open the situation, the proud Yamaguchi Katsu had no choice but to withdraw the exhausted 10th Division and rest and handed over to other divisions to attack.

Several divisions that replaced the attack of the 10th Division thought that the opportunity to achieve military achievements had come. When they saw Katsu Yamaguchi's troops hit the Chinese positions, they were bleeding and they didn't say anything, but they were extremely happy and were ready to let Katsu Yamaguchi open his eyes and see their abilities. But who would have thought that as soon as they went on the battlefield, everyone felt that it was not good. The cruelty of the front line was far beyond their expectations. After several attacks, let alone making meritorious contributions, their casualties were even greater than the 10th Division. No matter what they tried, the Chinese on the opposite side were stuck firmly on the position like a nail and could not break through.

In the past half a month, the Japanese army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, which is not much compared to the China-National Team. But don’t forget that the Japanese army is fighting across the sea, while the China-National Team is fighting locally. Both are incomparable in terms of logistics and military support. The casualties of more than 2,000 people are already a damaging blow to Uehara Yoshizu's expeditionary force. More importantly, the situation has never been broken. Looking at the passing of time, the weather in the northeast is getting colder day by day. As the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force and the chief of the General Staff of the Army, Uehara Yoshizu, can be imagined.

Compared with the Northeast battle situation where the Japanese army had the upper hand but could never completely defeat the opponent, the Qingdao battlefield was another situation.

The artillery battle between the Second Japanese Navy Fleet and the Qingdao Fortress every day is as accurate as the clock. From 9:00 to 11:00 am, from 1:00 am to 5:00 am, the two sides agreed to each other to bombard each other for several rounds across the sea. Except for some unlucky guys who were killed in the artillery fire, the artillery battle had almost no substantial effect except wasting shells and causing some pollution to the environment. As for the battle on land, the Yagami Rokuro completely understood Wu Peifu's intentions and understood the purpose of the Chinese using the landing troops as bait to restrain the Second Fleet.

Unfortunately, the Eighth-Day Liulang understood too late. If he had cut off his arm at the first time and completely sacrificed the remnants of the 15th Division, the battle situation might be different. But now, the 15th Division has become a waste. Not only that, in order to save the fate of the 15th Division, the Eighth-Day Liulang also used a transport ship to send half of the other two divisions in his hand to the Chinese encirclement in several times. This made it difficult for the Eighth-Day Liulang to ride a tiger and sacrifice two-thirds of the army's strong troops. As the commander, he was almost impossible to make such a determination. However, to rescue the army that was on the shore, it was almost impossible to be under the noses of the Chinese who were waiting for the battle.

In a dilemma, Bada Ruo was sadly discovered that this war was almost a loss from the perspective of the Second Fleet. The failure of tactics led to the Chinese taking the initiative in the Jiaodong battle situation. Now, the Second Fleet was not only transported and supplied to the army trapped on the shore, or symbolically, the same "artillery battle" as Qingda Fortress every day, but it could no longer play other roles. The idiom "shot" to the rat and avoid weapons" is appropriately expressed the current mentality of Bada Ruo. Looking at the battlefield where Jiaodong is fighting fiercely every day, Bada Ruo was so worried that his hair was not much lost.

The 8th generation of Rokuro had a difficult life, and Wu Peifu was feeling more and more comfortable. A few days after surrounding the 15th Japanese Division, most of the Japanese 18th Japanese Division also fell into the trap step by step according to his plan. Now, the Jiaodong encirclement has completely surrounded the troops of a Japanese reorganized division. The Japanese Army, which lacks transportation capabilities, has almost no way to face such a situation except to strictly guard the position. Fortunately, the attack of the Chinese team was not fierce and did not completely cut off the logistics line, which made the Japanese army survive in the encirclement and prayed for the attachment of Amaterasu to save their lives.

After completing the mission of encirclement and luring the enemy, Wu Peifu's follow-up plans came to the surface one by one. Under his command, the new army in Shandong entered the battlefield one after another, and carried out a huge "large-scale training" with the enemies in the encirclement as the targets of training. Although the Japanese army quickly noticed the Chinese's intentions, under such a clear plan, the unlucky Japanese 15th Division and 18th Division could only reluctantly become this "instructor".

In this battle, the Chinese team became more and more vigorous and more easy, while the 15th Division and the 18th Division were more and more depressed and sad, and the morale was getting lower and lower. If these "hostages" were not of great use, Wu Peifu specifically told the front line that they would not be able to crippled or completely wiped out the opponent, otherwise so many Chinese teams would have rushed up and collapsed long ago.

"How many were killed today?" In the evening, wisps of smoke from cooking fires floated on the Chinese position, while the dirt-faced Japanese generals and their soldiers from the 15th and 18th Divisions could only chew cold rice balls. As the sun set, the unbearable day finally passed again. While the depressed Japanese soldiers hid in the cold trenches and gnawed rice balls, one side of the Chinese position also had a meal, but their dinner was steaming steamed buns with cabbage and boiled meat, and a bowl of vegetable soup with oil.

The person who asked was Deng Yanda, who looked excited, grabbed two steamed buns in one hand, and was next to Ye Ting, who was drinking soup.

"Three." Ye Ting finished the soup in a few sips, wiped his mouth and smiled.

"It's not bad!" Deng Yanda praised. After the Japanese on the other side understood the situation, they no longer played "pig sprints" like fools. From top to bottom, they all focused on survival and played trench warfare like the Chinese team. In this case, the casualties of both sides decreased day by day, and sometimes they shot at each other for one day, and the combined casualties of the two armies were only a dozen. In this case, Ye Ting was able to kill three Japanese soldiers, which made Deng Yanda admire him.

"What's the matter? Zhang Wenbai killed five Japanese on the first day." Ye Ting shook his head and said.

"How can this be the same? When he went to the front line, these little Japanese charge silly. As long as they are lucky, the machine gun will be swept through, five? It is not surprising to kill ten." Deng Yanda curled his lips. They came to Ji*nan to find Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui and asked to go to the front line to participate in the battle. Since we were all classmates and had some friendship, Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui still did not dare to agree to their request to come to the battle privately, but they just placed them first and reported to Fang Zida. Fang Zida was also the same after learning about the situation.

He was stunned, of course he knew the great reputation of these people. He did not expect that they were still "angry young people" now. Not only that, they also came to the front line from the military academy to ask for the war. After a little consideration, Fang Zida decided to keep them, and then broke them up and assigned them to various troops. In Fang Zida's mind, these are future generals, and it would be best for him to be able to join his own team. As for the troubles at the Central Military Academy, Fang Zida naturally had a way to solve them. Let these young people feel the war in the army, which is also a good thing for them.

After surrounding the 15th and 18th Divisions of the Japanese, various units of the new army participated in the battle one after another. Zhang Zhizhong was lucky. The troops he went to participated in the battle. After three days of fighting on the front line, he retreated and rested. Then the team where Gu Zhutong was located took over and attacked alternately. By the time Deng Yanda and Ye Ting came to the front line, the Jiaodong Battle had been fighting for almost half a month, and the Japanese on the opposite side were getting worse and worse. In addition, the superiors clearly could not launch a devastating blow to the opponent, which led to the decline in the results of the Chinese team's victory.

"I want to tell you, these little Japanese are really boring to fight. I heard that the Northeast is much more intense than ours. If I had known, I would have gone to the Northeast." Deng Yanda finished gnawing on the steamed buns in his hand in two mouths. He fired a lot of guns all day today, but no opponent was killed. After hearing Ye Ting's record, he grabbed his head depressedly.
