Chapter 668: The Battle of Tokyo Bay - Iron Cavalry

Yama Prefecture Kurasuke began a desperate chase, and the result was not bad, relying on the advantage of the inside line, as well as the familiarity with the road, the Japanese army still rushed to Shanyi in front of the Manchurian Army. But Yama County Kurasuke didn't have the slightest joy, and running to Sugi was something he had to do, but he had already figured it out along the way, and it was not a way to run like this.

The fierce impact ability is not the greatest advantage of the cavalry, the world's first-class Mongolian cavalry, which is mainly based on Mongolian horses, is not mainly based on impact attacks, and the real advantage of cavalry is its unparalleled mobility ability. A well-organized phalanx of infantry could withstand the onslaught of cavalry, but no matter what they came up with, the infantry would never be able to keep up with the speed of the cavalry. Therefore, an excellent cavalry general will never command his troops to fight the enemy head-to-head, but will lead the enemy to race, using his own advantages to drag the enemy alive. Uliji is now forcibly pulling Yama County Kusuke to race, but Yama County Kurasuke has to run, although he knows that it is the enemy's tactic, Shan County Kurasuke still has nothing to do.

There were more than a dozen passes around Tokyo that could be used for large-scale cavalry advances, and they were well defended by Japanese standards, but they were useless when it came to the overly advanced Manchurian Army. If the main cavalry of the Manchurian Army stormed these passes, I am afraid that these peripheral points of Tokyo would not be able to hold out for even an hour. Therefore, the 20,000-strong army of Yama Prefecture Kyosuke became the only available troops to guard these points, and they had to follow the cavalry all the time. But if he runs like this, Yama County will die sooner or later, and the infantry will run after the cavalry, and they will be tired to death.

"Divert to horse training!" After Uliji found out that Yama Prefecture Kusuke had also arrived at Shanyi, he immediately gave the order to change the land, and after the Manchurian army stopped his horse slightly, he immediately pulled his horse away.

"The whole army is going to Shinjuku!" Yama Prefecture Kuaisuke figured it out, he absolutely couldn't run with the Manchurian cavalry, and he didn't want to be led by the nose, so he had to figure out a way to block the enemy.

Uliji's method is to attack it and save it, and Yama County Kuraisuke's method is to guard the road that must be passed. There are too many places for the Japanese army to be saved, and any pass that can lead to Tokyo is a place for them to be saved. But the Manchurian army had almost no way to go, they could go wherever they wanted, and there was no road they had to take, and everything else was random except for the fact that their final destination, Tokyo, was determined. What Yama Shan Kuaisuke had to do was to give up a place that must be saved, and then artificially design a necessary path for the Manchurian Army.

The Manchurian Army abandoned Sugi and headed north, and the nearest pass was Nerima, and Yama Prefecture decided to abandon this point in order to regain the initiative on the battlefield. After the Manchurian Army captured Nerima, the closest and smoothest way to attack the main city of Tokyo was Shinjuku, and Yama Prefecture Kyosuke went to Shinjuku, etc., and he definitely waited for people, and there was no need to worry about the cavalry turning around and leaving. The Manchurian Army, which had already broken through to the outskirts of Tokyo, would certainly not give up, but would fight to the death and fight to the death against the Japanese army in Shinjuku. Infantry and cavalry, the biggest problem is to find the cavalry, as long as you can start an honest battle when you are well prepared, Yama County Kyosuke basically won half of it.

After Yama Yama Kwaisuke set up a formation in Shinjuku, the news of the fall of Nerima came, and the Manchurian cavalry rushed to Shinjuku at high speed as Yama Yama Kyosuke expected. Yama Prefecture Kyosuke excitedly issued the order for all departments to prepare for war, and the cavalry rushed into the tight infantry position, the Japanese army really had to fight this time, and after a long time of fighting, they finally had a little advantage on a battlefield. Everyone had a rare amount of confidence, and everyone was very excited, but the Manchurian cavalry, which was moving like the wind, was nowhere to be seen.

"Your Excellency Yamagu, after the Manchurian Army moved south to Nakano, it suddenly turned northeast and entered Totsuka, and continued to advance towards Otsuka, as if it wanted to attack Tokyo from the direction of Bunkyo!" As Yama Shan Shan was sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai waiting for the Manchurian Army to take the bait, a scout hurriedly ran over and told Yama Shan Prefecture Youpeng a news that was like a catastrophe.

"How is that possible?" Yama County Kyosuke was panicked at this time, and the actions of the Manchurian Army were completely unreasonable.

The follow-up news made Yama Prefecture even more puzzled, the target of the Manchurian cavalry did not seem to be Tokyo, after they invaded the suburbs of Tokyo, they began to attack everywhere, and the movement was very chaotic, and it was impossible to judge their target. Saigo Takamori and Tokugawa Yoshiki all sent letters to inquire, ostensibly asking how the battle was going in Yamaprefecture, but in fact urging Yamaguchi Yama to quickly entangle the Manchurian cavalry, so as not to make the Manchurian cavalry too terrifying and cause a shock in the hearts of the people in Tokyo. Yamaguchi originally wanted to analyze and analyze again, find the law of the Manchurian cavalry movement, and then go to fortify and plug the leak, but he couldn't wait in the city of Tokyo. Emperor Meiji also kept an eye on the battle behind him, he couldn't wait, not only urged all the ministries to actively cooperate, but also directly issued an edict to Yamaken Kuosuke, asking Yama Prefecture Kuaisuke to annihilate the Manchurian cavalry that was alone as soon as possible.

Although the Manchurian cavalry no longer slaughtered the city, the killing and wounding of the raiders everywhere was not small, and Yama County Kyosuke was also anxious in his eyes. Now that everyone has sent a message to urge, although Yama County is a little bottomless, he can only send troops with a fluke heart. Yama Yama Shan Kuaisuke is going out to hit the luck, Manchurian cavalry is also ramming around, after all, the Japanese army has an inside advantage, Yama Shan Shan Kurasuke still has a few advantages.

After two days of hard work, Yamaguchi finally caught the tail of the Manchurian cavalry, and they found the baggage troops behind the Manchurian cavalry near Asakusa. Yama Prefecture hurriedly organized his troops to surround him, preparing to eat the supplies of the Manchurian army, forcing their main force to go to the beach to receive supplies, and then attack the enemy Yu Bandu. But at the beginning of the firefight, Yamaguchi Kurasuke regretted it, although the baggage troops were not the main force, but their combat effectiveness was not bad at all. In the face of the Japanese army that suddenly surrounded them, the Manchurian army's heavy baggage troops did not fall behind at all, and they fought and retreated, which was very calm.

"Attack with all your might, send five more brigades to outflank them, if we can't take them down, we won't be able to fight in the future!" Finding that people had the intention of breaking out, Yama County was furious and put the follow-up troops on top, he must make contributions today, and must not give up this hard-won fighter. After the Japanese attacked with all their might, the baggage troops also felt great pressure, but they still retreated to the houses near Asakusa Street in an orderly manner, as if they wanted to hold on to their houses and wait for reinforcements.

Seeing that the defensive area of the Manchurian Army was shrinking, and even several main forces could no longer echo each other, he couldn't help but feel confident that the first victory since the start of the war against Manchuria would be won in his hands. But just when the victory of the mountain mountain was in hand, the rumbling cannons suddenly sounded on the high ground not far away, except for a few courtyards guarded by the Manchurian army, violent shells fell everywhere. The Japanese army, which was launching an attack, immediately blew up a man on his back, and the troops who were resting also suffered heavy losses, and the shelling came too suddenly.

"Gather the troops, there are ambushes, there are ambushes! Organize defensive positions, defend! "Yama Prefecture Kurasuke reacted very quickly and quickly figured out what was happening, this is not a coincidence, this is definitely a Manchurian trap.

Yama Prefecture Kyosuke's order was timely, but Uliji did not leave time for the Japanese soldiers to carry out this order, and the seven thousand Manchurian cavalry had already roared out. The war horse was like a raging monster, rushing into the crowd without hesitation, and countless people were killed and trampled to death. The cavalrymen were holding their sabers flat, and the dense Japanese forces kept them from having to swing their swords vigorously, and as the horses galloped by, they could cut off countless heads.

The Japanese tried to resist, but the cavalry was too terrible, too fast. The horse's hooves made the whole earth tremble, and the hearts of the soldiers trembled with them, and the hearts trembled, and the hands naturally trembled, and the muzzles of the guns were not to the cavalry in front of them. Moreover, the cavalry was so fast that as soon as the rifle was aimed at them, they had already run more than ten meters away, and the already panicked soldiers could not find their target.

The cavalry came and went very quickly, and as soon as Yama Shan Shan Kuisuke shook his nerves, the Manchurian cavalry had already rushed through the ranks of the Japanese army, and disappeared very happily, not even a chance to organize a defense, not even leaving Yama Prefecture Kuisuke. Moreover, there was only one cavalry charge, and by the time Yama Prefecture was ready for the second cavalry charge, their opponent was no longer a fast horse scimitar, he had to face machine guns and *.

The Japanese army, which had made a series of mistakes in judgment, fell into a bitter battle at once, and the encircled baggage troops of the Manchurian Army easily withdrew, and after joining with the main force, they also rained down bullets on the heads of the Japanese army. Yama Prefecture Kyosuke had the advantage of troops, but the Japanese army's formation had just been scattered by the cavalry, and he couldn't give full play to his own advantages at all, but was almost out of breath by the Manchurian army. Yama Prefecture Kyosuke issued one order after another, and finally pinched the troops again in the chaos of the army, and began to counterattack the Manchurian army rhythmically and planned, but the Manchurian army, which still had the advantage, suddenly withdrew, and they withdrew without warning like wayward children.

After checking his own losses, Yamaguchi Kurosuke also began to retreat, he had a lot of wounded in his hands, and he needed the people to help him take care of him. But the Japanese army didn't even go out of Asakusa, and they were attacked by the Manchurian army, and a machine gun and small artillery almost made Yamaguchi Kyosuke mentally ill. In the end, the Japanese army still stubbornly held on, but the speed of the march was greatly reduced, and the number of wounded was doubled.

"This is where the cavalry is really powerful!" Yama Prefecture Kyosuke, who was completely entangled, was completely convinced.
