In that case, the bombing just now was done by the self-defense division?
How did they know the latest battle report from the front line?
"The command center told the self-defense division about the destruction of the 5th regiment?”
Ma Shan Zhan asked.
"No." The signalman was stunned. We only received a telegram from the Self-Defense Division and didn't make any contact with them.”
The question in Ma Shan Zhan's heart grew even greater.
However, since the Self-Defense Division had already sent a telegram, they would be the main attackers in the next battle.
At the thought of this, Ma Shan Zhan said to the signal soldier,""Go back first and inform the people in the command center. He ordered the troops below to quickly withdraw from the camp. All the troops were to withdraw. Gather the troops to the left of the Japanese!"
"Yes, sir! Marshal!"
After saluting, the signalman quickly mounted his horse and returned to the command center.
Ma Shan Zhan's face finally revealed some joy. He said to the guard camp behind him,""Looks like we won't have the chance to die for our country. Let's go back with me. After the troops gather, we'll have a good fight with the Japanese!”
"Yes, sir! Marshal!"
·······································
Just as Ma Shan Zhan's army was about to retreat, Zhang Qian's self-defense division finally arrived.
Zhang Qian had been very clear about the battle between the Japanese and Ma Shan Zhan.
This was because every time the Japanese troops attacked and fought, they would send a message to their headquarters.
Zhang Qian, who was able to intercept their telegrams, was naturally very clear about the current situation on the battlefield.
When Zhang Qian found out that the soldiers of the 5th Regiment had all been killed, he ordered the mortar battalion of the Artillery Regiment to fire on the spot before the troops reached their target.
Fortunately, they were not too far away from the front line and were still within the range of the mortars.
They bombarded Ma Shan's 5th Regiment's position and wiped out all the Japanese who had just occupied the position.
They stopped the Japanese from attacking Ma Shan Zhan's army.
As Ma Shan Zhan's army retreated, the entire camp was quickly occupied by the Japanese.
Just as the Japanese were happy about Ma Shanzhan's retreat and their successful attack, the artillery regiment of the Self-Defense Division had already set up camp.
Thousands of cannons began to bombard the base of Ma Shan Zhan's army.
The bombs exploded on the ground, and countless shrapnel exploded into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers, who had been happy to get their positions, did not know that they were not stepping into the enemy's territory but hell!
Thousands of cannons blasted the Japanese, who had no idea what was going on.
It was as if the land had been blown up.
Faced with the suppression of the artillery, the Japanese army could only retreat temporarily.
This also gave the Self-Defense Division soldiers the opportunity to reoccupy their positions.
In the positional warfare, the allied forces of Zhang Qian and Ma Shanzhan, who had the advantage in terms of manpower and equipment, were not at a disadvantage in the battle with the Japanese.
At the same time, Zhang Qian had also sent a copy of the information to Ma Shan Zhan's army.
With the natural advantage of intelligence, the alliance held the initiative in the battles of various regions.
The Japanese had just arrived, and they were not facing an opportunity to take advantage of the weak defense. Instead, they were facing an ambush from all sides.
The Japanese's firepower at the front line was also targeted by the Alliance Army.
If you're strong, I'll blow you up.
If you are weak, I will send troops to fight.
If you send troops to launch a sneak attack, I will ambush you.
If you send troops to ambush me, I can choose not to go.
Facing such a strange situation, both the 1st and 2nd divisions were in a difficult situation.
They really couldn't understand how these Chinese officers could guess their meticulous deployment.
Why did Ma Shan Zhan's army, which they had beaten to a pulp, suddenly launch such a fierce attack after joining up with the Self-Defense Division?
It was as if their military chief had suddenly changed at this moment.
If the superior weapons and powerful firepower of the self-defense division surprised them and made them unable to resist, it was normal.
Then, what was the reason behind the sudden change in Ma Shan Zhan's army, which was lacking in weapons and firepower a second ago?
"Baka! Why? How did they see through our deployment so easily? Who can tell me why?"
The Chief of Staff of the Japanese in the 2nd division headquarters angrily slammed the pencil in his hand on the military map.
This was already the seventh time!
There were a total of seven military arrangements, but they did not achieve any results.
The troops at the front line were beaten down by the enemy and could not fight back at all.
The enemy had predicted that the deployment would fail.
It was the responsibility of the General Staff.
However, they could not understand why.
Who was the enemy's military commander?!!
The same thing was happening in the 3rd division command post.
When they found out that they had encountered the same thing, they all realized that there must be something fishy about it.
The most likely possibility was that their military deployment secrets had been leaked.
Some of them were sending detailed battle intelligence to the enemy!
But who could it be?
Now that the two armies were exchanging fire, it was obviously not the time to deal with the traitor. There was no time for them to deal with and think about this matter.
"Chief of Staff, there's a telegram from the front line. Our soldiers can't hold on any longer! A self-defense division from Xishan Province is attacking our headquarters! The 2nd division also sent news that their heavy artillery formation had been destroyed by Ma Shan Zhan's soldiers! They asked about our situation and if we could send fire to support them.”
The 3rd division's chief of staff had already sensed the danger from this information. He quickly came to the 3rd division's major general and asked,""Major General, the situation is dangerous, please make a decision.”
How could the 3rd Regiment Commander not understand what he meant?
He stood there and pondered for a minute before saying,""Send a message to the military headquarters. During the joint attack of the Shengma Mountain Army and the Xishan Province Self-Defense Division, there was an unknown reason and information was leaked. Requesting to retreat.”
The chief of staff nodded and quickly went down to make arrangements.
When the Japanese military received the telegram from the front line, they quickly agreed to their retreat plan.
Although these armies were defeated, the remaining people were still soldiers of their empire.
Since he knew that he was no match for them, reducing casualties was the most important thing.
After receiving the order from the military, the remaining troops of the 3rd and 2nd divisions began to retreat.
The intelligence department of the Self-Defense Division, who had intercepted the Japanese's telegram, immediately reported it to Zhang Qian.
However, Zhang Qian frowned deeply when he saw the planned retreat route in the telegram.
If he was the one commanding this army and needed to retreat, he would definitely choose the same retreat route as the Japanese.
However, since the Japanese had already guessed that their information had been leaked, would they still choose this route to retreat?
They were able to intercept the Japanese's telegrams to the frontline troops and obtain this information. This meant that their self-defense division also had the ability to obtain telegrams and intelligence from them and the military.
Moreover, if the Japanese wanted to retreat, they would definitely send an order to the troops at the front line.
Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be courting death if everyone retreated?
Thinking of this, Zhang Qian once again observed the retreat route of the Japanese camp.
The retreat route mentioned in the Japanese's telegram was the fastest route for them to return to the enemy's territory in Mongolia.
However, this path was extremely dangerous.
In the middle, they would encounter several excellent ambush locations. Wasn't this a piece of meat that was delivered to their doorstep?
On the contrary, there was another detour route.
It was to bypass these dangerous mountains.
They retreated from the northwest.
This path was three times longer than the previous one.
Which one would they choose?
"Commander, the Japanese's 3rd and 2nd divisions have ordered the frontline troops to retreat to the northwest!”
The appearance of this piece of information made Zhang Qian frown even more.
The Japanese were trying to trick him!
The military had asked them to retreat from the nearest route, but they had told the troops below to retreat from the northwest.
What were they doing?
"Inform Ma Shan Zhan, have them split up and set up an ambush in the northwest where the Japanese are retreating.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Inform the first regiment to withdraw from the battlefield in advance and set up an ambush at Liang Fengshan, the closest retreat route of the Japanese. At the same time, order the mortar battalion of the Artillery Regiment to cooperate with the first regiment!”
"Yes, sir! Teacher!"
