Chapter 288: Scandals within the Japanese army
The sentinels in charge of air observation on the fort found that the airship of the Huaxia Army was flying very low, and the huge body of the airship almost covered the entire sky, so he screamed in fright and grabbed a single-shot rifle and shot into the air.
There are heavy machine guns and snipers on the airship, and every move of the Japanese army below is under the supervision of heavy machine gunners and snipers, and the Japanese sentry has just raised his rifle and is killed by the snipers on the airship.
When the other Japanese soldiers in the fort heard the news, they rushed out with rifles, but were blocked by the heavy machine guns on the airship.
Under the powerful aerial firepower, all the Japanese soldiers who rushed out could not be exposed to the guns of the airship unless they turned into corpses.
Under the blockade of snipers and heavy machine gunners, the Japanese army had no means to pose a threat to the airship.
At this time, the airship descended to a height almost close to the ground, threw down the rope ladders, and the warriors rushed down from the rope ladders one by one.
The fighters who descended to the ground immediately used light machine guns, grenades, and recoilless guns to suppress the Japanese troops in the bunker.
At this time, under the guidance of the radio, the troops of the Huaxia Army on the beachhead and the airship detachment to attack the Japanese army batteries had also rushed in.
Under the attack from both sides, the Japanese army was hit by the dense firepower and could not raise its head, more and more soldiers of the Chinese army rushed down from the airship, the artillery of the Japanese army bombarded by the outside on the fort position immediately became silent, and the Huaxia army that rushed to land on the beach had no firepower to stop it, and the action became extremely smooth, so that more troops went to besiege the artillery fort held by the Japanese army.
At this point, the Japanese army in Lushun has been divided into isolated strongholds by the landing Huaxia army, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed, and the Lushun fortress, which Matsuda Toshihiko claims to be able to resist the 30-day strong attack of the 100,000 army, was completely recovered by the Huaxia army in less than a day.
The Qing court built a cable telegraph in Lushun to communicate with the outside world, but it was completely damaged in the battle with the Japanese army, and the Japanese army could only communicate with the outside world using fast horses.
As early as when Lushun was attacked last night, Matsuda Toshihiko urgently sent fast horses to the north to report to the Japanese troops stationed in various places, but the Japanese army on the Liaodong Peninsula was very weak. With a total of less than 20,000 people, there was no strength to rescue Lushun, and there was no time to send troops to come to the rescue, and the Japanese army garrisoned by Lushun was completely wiped out.
News of the loss of Arthur. It was also reported by the fast horse to the main force of the Japanese army that was still near Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Yama Prefecture Aritomo, was still hesitant to immediately order the entire army to retreat according to Kodama Gentaro's suggestion.
When the news of the loss of Lushun came, Youpeng in Shanxian no longer had any hesitation, and immediately ordered: "Notify the whole army and immediately retreat to the east!" ”
However, Yama County Youpeng believes that the military conference will still be held. It's just that he can't sit comfortably at the conference table for a meeting, but orders the generals of all armies and divisions to rush to the front of Youpeng in Shan County, and hold a meeting on the side of the main road where the Japanese army ranks are retreating eastward.
"Why should we retreat? According to the strength of our Yamato national warriors, we have every strength to turn back and fight into the capital of the Chinese people, why do we have to retreat? ”
The loud shouting was Nogi Noshinori, the commander of the Second Division, known as the fiercest general in the Japanese country, and he was really fierce at the military meeting.
Hearing Nogi Noshinori's words, Yama County Aritomo frowned and didn't speak, this Nogi Noshinori is a good friend of his Yama County Aritomo and Kodama Gentaro, but it's a bit reckless to talk like this today.
The commander of the 1st Division, who was standing on the side, was also very unhappy: "Why are we so afraid of the Shina people." Even if you want to retreat, you have to fight a battle first, and then retreat when you are afraid of the people! ”
Gentaro Kodama sighed, and had to expose his ugliness: "The Combined Fleet and the Fifth Army have been completely wiped out, and without the right to control the sea, we can't continue to fight here!" ”
Hearing this, the generals of the Japanese army were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out, and Nogi Noshinori rushed up and grabbed Kodama Gentaro's collar and asked, "The three divisions of the Fifth Army and the combined fleet have really been wiped out?" ”
Kodama Gentaro didn't want to push away Nogi Noshinori's hand, but just nodded and whispered, "It's true!" ”
"Three divisions! The tens of thousands of troops are gone, why didn't you, the red deer, follow the disembowelment? Where is your bushido? Nogi Noshinori pulled out his command knife and laid it across Gentaro Kodama's neck.
"Presumptuous!" There are friends in Shanxian who shouted. Ordered: "The matter has come to this, it is useless for you to kill Kodama Gentaro, now we have to discuss what to do next?" ”
Nogi Noshinori is a short-tempered person, and a rush of blood rushes to the back of his head. Forgot everything, didn't care about Kodama Gentaro's face, was forced to withdraw the command knife by Yama County Youpeng, and still muttered: "Hmph, if you lose tens of thousands of imperial soldiers and horses, you don't commit suicide by disembowelment, what kind of face does this have to live in the world!" ”
The big mountain rock next to me listened. couldn't help but say coldly: "If that's the case, you should have died when you lost the wing flag in Kumamoto, so why do you still have to live in the world?" ”
This is a public case, many years ago, during the Japanese Civil War, Saigo Takamori besieged Kumamoto Castle, Kodama Gentaro was responsible for guarding Kumamoto Castle, Nogi Noshinori led a wing to the rescue, the result was that Kodama Gentaro defeated Saigo Takamori, but Nogi Noshinori's wing was wiped out, and even the military flag was captured by Saigo Takamori. Nogi Noshinori pretended to commit suicide, but was stopped on the spot by Aritomo Yamaguchi and Gentaro Kodama.
When you hear Da Shanyan's words, your face suddenly turned blue, and he said angrily: "Enough, now is not the time to expose the ugliness, now is the time when we need to unite sincerely to tide over the difficulties!" ”
As soon as Youpeng in Shan County said these words, Dashan Yan immediately had nothing to say, and Nogi Noshinori didn't dare to say anything, and the scene fell silent.
After a few minutes, no one spoke, and some friends in Shan County were furious: "Are you all dumb?" Why hasn't anyone spoken? ”
In the end, it was Kodama Gentaro, the first wise general of the Wa Kingdom, who stood up and spoke: "We have no second way to go except for a quick retreat to the Goryeo Peninsula!" Is it still here waiting to be wiped out by the Huaxia Army? ”
Gentaro Kodama's words are nothing new, they can be regarded as boring rehashing the same old tune.
The commander of the 1st Division, Lieutenant General Motoji Yamagi, agreed with Kodama Gentaro's opinion, he leaned over the map and pointed to the assembly place of the Japanese army and said: "The current situation is very critical, the enemy has mastered the sea control and has landed in Lushun, if we land in Jinzhou and Yingkou and cut off our rear road, it will be very dangerous, for the sake of today, we can only retreat as soon as possible, quickly leave the Liaoxi corridor, and enter Goryeo from Liaodong!"
