Chapter 117: Soldiers are approaching the city, and 100,000 are in a hurry
Chapter 117
Da Shanyan gave an order, and Da Qiang Shangmin's mixed brigade was nailed to the front. The main forces of the 1st and 2nd Divisions in the rear bypassed Songak Mountain, led by the cavalry brigade of Akiyama Yoshiko, and stabbed towards the west side of Kaesong.
It's a pity that a hundred secrets are sparse, according to the plan of Lijian Shangwen, this battle will definitely wipe out the Qing army, but he forgot, although it is difficult for the blue wolf to cover the north of Kaesong, but for the south of Kaesong, especially the two key areas of Seoul and Kaesong, it has long been made clear by the blue wolf, the large-scale bypass of the Japanese army, so that the blue wolves feel that the situation is serious, it seems that they are marching towards the west side of Kaesong, but what the other party has intentions, it is still unknown, the blue wolf who explored the Japanese army's transfer route quickly reported to Nie Shicheng, as for the strategic intentions of the Japanese army, then it depends on how Nie Shicheng analyzes.
Kaesong, Nie Shicheng, who was anxious in the command post, finally waited for the information of the blue wolf again, and the Japanese army forced Shang Min's troops to stay put, feint to attack Songyue Mountain, and the main forces of the first and second divisions rushed straight to the west of the flank of Kaesong!
Nie Shicheng immediately understood, the West, isn't that Ma Yukun's station? Now Ma Yukun has completely transferred the main force to Yuema Mountain, and only one battalion of troops has been retained in the original station, plus the direct personal guards of the Yi Army, and now there are only more than 500 people!
Nie Shicheng's face was pale, he was so powerful in Dashan Yan, he was so keen in using soldiers, he discovered the hole in my Daqing's defense so quickly, and stabbed it with a knife. The main force of the two divisions is 20,000 people, but the garrison of the entire Kaesong today is less than 4,000 people! How to deal with the enemy?
Nie Shicheng was really a little panicked in his heart, after so many years of war experience, he felt that death was imminent!
Xu Huaijin's eyes flashed on the side, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, I'm afraid that the Japanese army is advancing westward, and it is not just as simple as breaking through Kaesong!" If they really want to open the city, then what do we give him, the problem is my lord, the Japanese army is attacking Kaesong with heavy troops, which will inevitably lead to chaos among the nearby garrisons, waving troops to support my Kaesong, our army is scattered, I am afraid that it will be broken by the Japanese army's heavy troops, this is the key to the problem, if our 30,000 army is defeated in a battle, then even if North Korea is really finished, North Korea will no longer have an army to resist the Japanese army, and the Japanese army will definitely gather heavy troops to rush to the Yalu River in one go, and then attack the three provinces outside the Guanwai! ”
Nie Shicheng was like an initiation, and he saw through all the problems at once, that is, the Japanese army is going to annihilate the 30,000 heroes of our Qing Dynasty, not just eat the next Kaecheng!
Nie Shicheng shouted: "Quickly pass the order, all departments are stationed on standby, without my military order, no one can return to help Kaecheng!" Huai Jin, with the more than 4,000 elites in our hands, we will stick to Kaecheng, see what the Japanese army can do, and send an order to the Yi army in the west of the city, ordering them to retreat quickly and not engage in battle! ”
It's a pity that Nie Shicheng's military order was still too late, and when Nie Shicheng issued the military order, Akiyama Yoshiko's cavalry brigade had already arrived at the Yi Army garrison west of Kaesong.
Akiyama Yoshigu looked at the Yijun garrison in the distance, and shouted coldly: "Order, all cavalry, you can charge, I want to clear the camp on horseback and avenge General Nozu Michikan!" ”
Hundreds of Japanese cavalry roared, urging their horses, and the wind swept towards the camp of the Yi Army.
In the camp of the Yi Army, it was Ma Yukun's henchman who stayed behind, who led Long Tao.
Long Tao was sitting in the camp, waiting for Ma Yukun's battle report in the north of the city, when he suddenly felt the shaking of the earth, Long Tao, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, his face changed, he quickly lay on the ground, and then jumped up quickly, and roared: "Order, there is a cavalry attack on the camp, immediately the whole army should fight!" ”
As he spoke, Long Tao packed up his clothes and armor and rushed out of the tent, after coming out, the sound of the cavalry charging in front of him became heavier, and the soldiers of the Yi Army battalion had already heard it, and they had been on the battlefield for a long time, and they had picked up their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy.
In the blink of an eye, the Japanese cavalry had already appeared in the sight of the Qing army!
Long Tao roared angrily: "Heavy machine gun, heavy machine gun!" to fire and stop the Japanese cavalry from approaching, and the infantry to get ready to shoot! ”
This is hundreds of cavalry, like a whirlwind of charge, the only four heavy machine guns of the Yi army, fired together, can not be suppressed at all, the cavalry that charged up, instantly rushed into the camp by the Japanese army, the Qing army camp suddenly a big chaos, the Qing army cried dad and shouted mother, scattered and fled!
It's just running away! Once these infantry are close to the cavalry, they will have the opportunity to escape, and they will not be able to organize an effective defense at all!
Long Tao won a big victory, pulled out his waist knife, and cut down several Qing troops one after another, still unable to stop the collapse of the situation, helpless, Long Tao had to lead part of the Qing army, towards the direction of the Prancing Horse Mountain defeated, Autumn Mountain looked at the scattered Qing army, complacent, just a symbolic pursuit, began to clean up the battlefield, for the follow-up of the first division, the arrival of the second division.
Half an hour later, 20,000 people from the two main divisions of the Japanese army at Dashan Rock gathered under Kaesong in a lightning flash. Today's Kaesong City, the people are panicking, the war is coming, the Japanese soldiers are coming to the city, and now the Qing army is trapped in Kaesong, and the Korean people in the city have already blown up their nests.
Nie Shicheng's face was heavy, and he ordered: "Xu Huaijin and Tang Keqiang, the two of you are fully responsible for the defense command in the west of the city, and there must be no mistakes, so as to strengthen the inspection in Kaecheng, strictly prevent the Korean natives in the city from making trouble, and once you encounter a disturbance, you can suppress it, don't hesitate!" ”
Fortunately, Nie Shicheng began to prepare for the city defense as early as last night, and for most of the day, the personnel and ammunition were all prepared, and the Qing troops in the city were all elite, but they were able to calm down.
As soon as Nie Shicheng conveyed the general's order, the gunfire in the west of the city had already sounded. Dashan Rock mobilized an artillery wing, and dozens of heavy guns opened fire at the same time, and the west of Kaesong fell into a sea of fire. Xu Huaijin looked at the layout of the Japanese army coldly, and was very calm in his heart, knowing that he must remain absolutely calm at this moment.
Tan Feng said: "Give the order, Tan Feng, order the artillery battalion to return fire, aim at the Japanese artillery position, and return fire fiercely!" ”
Now the artillery battalion led by Tan Feng is far from being comparable to the artillery battalion of the Zhenbian Army and the Yi Army, and its combat power is still above that of the Japanese army, and it is formed by the backbone of each battalion and a part of the blue wolf, and it is well-trained.
Tan Feng nervously issued a combat order, and his artillery quickly locked on the position of the Japanese artillery, in the gap between the first wave of the Japanese attack and the second wave of the attack, dozens of shells fell on the Japanese artillery position as if they had eyes, and dozens of Japanese soldiers were blown into the sky, and the Japanese position was in a mess~!
