Chapter 879: Continued Use of Cannon Fodder
"Transporting 300,000 Japanese captives to Shanxi Prefecture to Tianying and Wan Douni, their eighth and tenth divisions need manpower, so let them attack and the state capital, now they have laid the Xinzhou Mansion, but the Qing Dynasty has resisted fiercely, the trenches have made them suffer a great loss, they have finished two garrison brigades, a field brigade of troops, now it seems that the Japanese prisoners have to be transferred, transfer 50,000 Southeast Asian servant soldiers to them as supervisors, let the Southeast Asian servant soldiers drive away 300,000 Japanese prisoners, and if they fight well, they will be reorganized into servant soldiers, If you can't fight well, kill it. ”
Zhang Qiang's efforts to solve the problem of so many extra foreign people and captives because of the war were also very painful.
Now I can't help but be cold-blooded.
Feng Quan said: "We will supplement the original soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom to where the Japanese island of Honshu is, let them take their families to settle there, the disabled or unsuitable for war let them be the people, the old and weak will also become the people, the ordinary will become the militia, and the rest will be reorganized into garrison brigades, so that they can eliminate those Japanese soldiers and civilians who dare to resist." ”
"Okay, send a million people and captive soldiers every month, although these people are from the Dajin Kingdom, but they used to be Han Chinese, as for the Manchurian and Mongolian people, they are also incorporated into the cannon fodder army, let them command those Japanese servant soldiers, or Southeast Asian servant soldiers, they are always closer to us than the Japanese." Mi Chun also said.
But it is said that Wan Douni fought the tragedy on the front line in Shanxi Prefecture, several brigades of the Tenth Field Division led by him suffered heavy losses and captured Linfen Mansion, and the brigade led by Tianying only left the remnants of one regiment to seize Linfen Mansion, until a brigade of the Eighth Field Division came to take over the defense of his slaves and retreated, replenished in Hejin Mansion for a month, and added a garrison brigade behind him to fill his field brigade, Tianying was just about to make persistent efforts, and ordered him to take over the Eighth Field Division, Wang Yuqun has completely let go of the Eighth Field Division, He was transferred to Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture as the commander-in-chief of the garrison.
He hurriedly left the field brigade and went to the 8th Field Division to take over the field division, and the newcomer Yapeng took over his 101st field brigade.
Yapeng led the 101st Field Brigade to the front line, and the other two field brigades and two garrison brigades had been fought with the Qing army in the capital of the prefecture into remnants, and the towns on all sides of the capital were captured, and the enemy retracted to the capital of the prefecture, but still controlled the two nearest county towns in the prefecture, as well as more than a dozen towns and more than 30 villages.
When the Eighth Field Division moved to Datong Province, they were ordered to attack a county town with a brigade of more than 6,000 people.
The total strength of the field brigade is more than 6,000 people, more than 1,800 people in each regiment, and there are more than 1,000 troops directly under the brigade headquarters.
The siege of the county town has not been fought for a whole week, the anxious Yapeng jumped to his feet, no way, although the weapons are advanced now, but they are not the kind that can be crushed, in the face of the trenches, they also have to meet the enemy's firepower charge, the enemy on the opposite side is not the Japanese with backward guns, Goguryeo soldiers, but after the incorporation, the reorganized Dajin Kingdom originally fought for many years veterans, they have the old cannons of the Qing army, as well as the imitation of the new cannons, as well as the arquebus gold change 2 arquebus, Elite troops still single-handedly loaded with flintlock pistols, and some still have flintlock pistols that can hold three bullets.
And even if these people are all dead, the Qing army is not a pity, these were originally taken into captives, and the command is still the Han general, and the Manchus have shrunk into the county seat, they all use front-loading bead guns, three bullets, although the rate of fire and power are not as good as the Huaxia army, but the difference is not too big.
They also have the advantage of defensive operations, as long as the food is constant, they don't need to worry, according to intelligence, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, more than 6,000 are horse bandits recruited by the Dajin Kingdom, Han green battalion troops, 2,000 are Qing army Manchu troops, and 2,000 Han army flag troops.
In the face of such a force, Yapeng also wanted to break his head and did not come up with a way to break through the enemy's defenses.
After a week's siege, more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded on their side, almost a regiment was lost, and the enemy suffered more than 2,000 casualties, but the enemy's troops were still more than their own side, and there was also the protection of the city wall.
But on this day he received an order that about 20,000 troops would be replenished by them, of which 1,500 troops were soldiers of the garrison brigade that supplemented their Han rear, and there were about 200 veterans and 300 recruits, all of whom were reorganized from the ordinary militia brigade, as well as 3,000 Southeast Asian indigenous servants, and 15,500 were captured by the Japanese side, of which 500 were naturalized servant soldiers, who served as middle and high-level officers of these soldiers and horses, and the supervising army was those Southeast Asian indigenous troops.
About 80,000 servants were sent to this field division.
Yapeng was so happy, he knew that the Huaxia Army had a tradition of using cannon fodder, he didn't catch up before, because he was at the bottom, and later studied at the military academy, and was later assigned to the Yunguizhou Garrison Brigade, and later was sent to Sishan Prefecture, at that time basically the war was over, the Guards were clearing some enemy remnants, and in the face of the enemy remnants, he fought well, but the main job was to maintain local stability, eliminate the remnants of the enemy, manage where the militia units were, stabilize the place, and take care of those Japanese immigrants, where are they running from the Japanese state now, Served as a field brigade commander.
It's time to really test your command skills.
Yapeng had heard of how Brother Zhu used these Japanese servant troops on Honshu Island, and the servant army still had some humanity and was a naturalized person, but these were Japanese prisoners, and now they were facing the Han and Manchus of the Great Qing Dynasty, and these Japanese prisoners had no scruples, so they fought more fiercely than those servant troops, and the 15,000 troops lost 6,000 troops, so they rushed to the city wall, and then a regiment of the field brigade followed behind, and broke through the city wall in a few strokes.
The 1,000 Japanese captives who survived were promoted to the rank of the servant army, and at this time the remaining more than 1,000 Southeast Asian servant soldiers were also promoted to the rank and contained in the punishment camp.
It took only two days to capture the county seat.
While reporting his achievements, Yapeng advanced to the front, uprooting several enemy strongholds in succession, and was the first to reach the city of the state capital.
After Wan Douni heard about Yapeng, after consulting him about how to use it, he also used it in this way, and a few days later, the 10th Field Division joined the division and merged under the state capital.
At this time, more than 50,000 of the 80,000 Japanese prisoners remained, 20,000 were converted into servants, 30,000 were still prisoners, and the Jingai-2 arquebuses captured by these captives were thrown to these captive soldiers, and the servant soldiers used the captured enemy's single-shot flintlock pistols, and were also equipped with three-pounder guns and six-pounder guns, and the fierce battle began.
The remaining 6,000 Southeast Asian servants, with 30,000 captives, charged towards the enemy's positions and trenches, killing and wounding more than 10,000 prisoners in one day, 4,000 prisoners in one day on the other side, and 2,000 Japanese servants, capturing the enemy's outer line positions and a trench.
He didn't expect that the enemy was so afraid of death, he actually fought like this, those people rushed up desperately, and many soldiers had already told him that those were not Han Chinese, they were Japanese.
Chen Yanjing waved his hand, "Come on, let the Goguryeo soldiers and Japanese soldiers in our team go out of the city to replace those captive soldiers adapted from the Dajin Kingdom, since the Japanese and Goguryeo soldiers are so capable of fighting, then let them go." ”
But the next day, instead of besieging their other trenches and fort positions, the Huaxia army waited, and the rear sent 50,000 Southeast Asian prisoners of war and Southeast Asian Han prisoners of war from Southeast Asia, all of whom were Du Ge's original subordinates, as well as thousands of descendants born of the Dutch and the British and Siamese who intermarried, and another 100,000 prisoners of war were transferred from Japan, as well as 100,000 Japanese civilians, all of whom were the families of the recalcitrant Japanese soldiers.
Zhang Qiang is bent on destroying the Japanese nation, so he doesn't even let go of those people, and how to deal with the five million people is a trouble, so he cleverly set up a name, punish them for stubborn resistance, and drive them to the battlefield.
Within a few days, Wan Douni, who had not attacked, waited for the 30,000 Qing soldiers from Shaanxi and Gansu Prefectures to be handed over from Shaanxi and Gansu Prefectures, including Mongols, Manchus, and those who resisted stubbornly in the Han Army Banner.
Soon Wan Douni launched another attack, and the encircled iron barrel and the state capital were surrounded by captives on all sides, and they were surrounded by three field brigades, a division directly under the headquarters, and a garrison brigade and a brigade that followed in the rear.
At different levels, the captives from Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture went first, and in their hands they held captured broadswords, bird guns, three-eyed guns, and Jingai-1 arquebuses, and in the rear were the troops of the Southeast Asian indigenous servant army, which were the supervision army.
The battle lasted all morning, broke into the enemy's trenches three times, captured fifteen enemy forts, and then these almost dead Han and Mongols were replaced, and then the Qing soldiers and Han army flag soldiers continued to rush, but they supplemented the trenches, besieged the tunpu, and then transferred the Japanese people and Japanese prisoners to storm the trenches, and it took an afternoon to capture the enemy's trenches, and the enemy's positions outside the city were scattered, although there were still some small villages and tunpu that did not fall, but it did not affect the fight and annexation of the state capital.
The casualties were heavy, 50,000 people from Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture were almost dead, and the remaining 5,000 were taken back to the punishment camp to be responsible for transporting supplies in the rear, and the Japanese people still had more than 10,000 people, continuing to prepare for the next day's battle with the Japanese prisoners.
The next day, the Southeast Asian captive soldiers were replaced, and the best position outside the enemy was attacked, and it took a morning to basically capture all of them, and the Japanese people and prisoners also solved the battle in other parts of the city, and the people were almost dead, and there were only a few hundred people left, and then they were merged into the punishment battalion transportation brigade, responsible for transporting materials, and the Japanese prisoners were still many, and they continued to attack the city with the artillery support of the Chinese army.
They fought all night, and only opened a gate the next morning, and then the remaining prisoners and servants who had not participated in the battle rushed into the city.
The Huaxia Army and the garrison brigade only sent some troops into the city to consolidate their positions, guide them to attack, and contain those troops who fled and ran in chaos.
It wasn't until Chen Yanjing broke through the siege and fled with the Manchu soldiers that the battle came to an end.
Of the 200,000 cannon fodder soldiers, there were only more than 80,000 left, and all of them were converted into servant armies and reorganized.
