Chapter 110: The resentment of a friend in Shanxian County
"Please, people are an army! Even if the Japanese army in the Far East has a coffee table, it is also an army, as an army, there is an independent heavy artillery unit! When the Japanese hit Dahushan, the 120MM artillery was mighty, and they really waited until the other side moved the heavy artillery over, and then crushed themselves with the huge superiority in troops? Schmidt looked at each other with a strange look, which made Mackensen's heart a little hairy!
"If I had a division of the Bavarian Corps, I would have promised to drive back the Japanese First Army! But alas, I only have one regiment now! The rest were Russians and Qing nationals, and the former was no more combat-ready than the Japanese. And except for a very small part of the latter, the rest are not qualified as militiamen! And our ammunition consumption is very large, in the future combat effectiveness will decline, and the Japanese army will still continue to reinforce, in general, the Japanese lost this battle, but it is far from the extent of breaking the muscles and bones! ”
Schmidt's idea is very realistic, since he has felt a modern war, and at the same time tested the lethality of new weapons, it is time to retreat, in essence, Lao Tzu is a mercenary, taking money to do things, this is not his own country, he can't be so desperate! One-sixth of the casualties in a battle are enough to be worthy of the employer, and the Russians came up just to cover Lao Tzu's retreat!
It turned out that Ruprecht didn't even want to fight this battle, it was purely a hard fight, and the original plan was to pick up leaks and help the Qing army defend. However, the Qing army's defense line on the Yalu River collapsed too quickly, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to, so he could only resist the first wave of the opponent's attack first! Schmidt's evaluation of the Japanese army is quite pertinent, the will to fight is okay, and the quality of the commanders is okay. If you don't fight the elite Bavarian troops armed to the teeth, it won't be so miserable!
And when Schmidt was going to accept it when he saw it, Youpeng in Shan County also saw the telegram sent from the front! After the first battle, nearly 4,000 people were killed and wounded in one division and two brigades! You read that right? How many casualties did the Japanese Army suffer before breaking through the defense line of the Yalu River? Not even 400! Less than 150 people died in battle! If there is a telegram, Yamaguchi has friends who want to ask if it is Katsura Taro's brain that lacks a string and adds an extra zero.
If it's really such a big loss, Yamaguchi Yutomo is in the mood to chop Katsura Taro with a knife! How many did the Imperial Army die after defeating Korea? Good guy, you will kill and wound 4,000 people in one fell swoop, and nearly 3,000 will be killed in battle?! Why don't you cut yourself off like this!
But soon, when Yama County Youpeng saw a rifle that came with the war report, he immediately retracted his original thoughts, and Katsura Taro's height in Yama County Aritomo changed directly from 1.38 meters to 1.83 meters! You can't really blame Katsura Taro for this battle, the firepower of one rifle can top you ten! It's a miracle that Katsura Taro's department can still have a slight advantage in the exchange ratio! (Well, the Qing army is the denominator.) )
And after actually inspecting the battlefield, looking at the devastated battlefield smashed by shells, he even suspected that the other side had the firepower of a heavy artillery wing! In the tentative attack on the second day, Yama County Youpeng finally saw the power of rapid-fire guns and machine guns, and the fierce firepower directly pressed the Japanese army to raise its head, and the Japanese army, which was easy to rush up, was also beaten into a sieve by a semi-automatic rifle in close range of fire!
"The Germans are terrible!" Until now, Youpeng in Shanxian County has truly realized what is the first power of the army! In the past, looking at the history of the war, it seemed quite lofty to say that Prussia defeated France in the Battle of Sedang, but there was no specific feeling, but now, Shan County Youpeng really has a feeling, and after watching the battlefield again, I feel very intuitive and realistic! The piles of corpses on the battlefield are proof of this! Blood and flame education is the most intuitive! It's like the Black Ship Incident back then!
"Otherwise, forget about Jiulian City." Youpeng in Shanxian County had such an idea in his heart, he threw away 4,000 troops in one day, if he continued to fight, how many days would the first army last? Although the cannon fodder on the opposite side also went a lot, the reinforcements of the Russians also made the Japanese lose their minds in an instant! It is said that the Russian army is also equipped with the same weapons as the German army, and there are tens of thousands of Russian troops in the Far East, but this battle can be won and cannot be fought! If the Russians are annoyed and angry, the Japanese are still planning to go to war with the Russians at this point?
"Withdraw one after another, and then leave part of the troops on guard. The main forces continued to advance towards the Liaodong Peninsula. At the same time, report to the base camp on the battlefield, the First Army needs support, and diplomatically we must get out of the current situation! The trouble the navy has caused us is enough to shake the foundations of the empire! If Germany insists on going against us, then the outcome of this war is very likely to be lost! ”
In line with the principle that the navy does not scold the army for being abnormal, and the army does not scold the navy for being unreasonable, now the resentment of the navy has reached a new height, and he is almost about to wash the admiralty himself!! Let's see what the Navy has done! Forget it if you steal chickens and rice, throw 2 cruisers, hundreds of thousands of pounds in the water, in the face of such an opponent, you still don't admit your mistakes and ask for forgiveness, anyway, the Japanese have not confessed once or twice, they have knelt down to all countries, what happened to Germany when they knelt once?
In the end, with the help of the British, the matter was settled, and it turned out to be a trick in the end! Who is Germany? People are beating the existence of France! The French Army was once a teacher of the Japanese! It's not the same as playing when people clean you up! In the last battle of the Yellow Sea, a ship almost destroyed a fleet of yours! Even if the navy is pitted, the army will also take the blame! What are you not ****?
If the Germans were satisfied and ready to retreat at any time, and the Japanese hit their heads in front of the fire net, then the Russians felt that they were somewhere in between, and the two sides walked around the battlefield, although in the initial cavalry attack, the guy in the hand was better, and the Russian cavalry had a little advantage, but in the subsequent offensive and defensive battles, the Russians were surprised to find that if there were no superior weapons such as machine guns and rapid-fire guns, the Russians' combat effectiveness was not higher than that of the Japanese.
The Russians may be able to resolutely carry out their orders, but that's all, not to mention the tactical flexibility for the time being, purely in terms of fighting will and quality, the "gray cattle", mainly serfs, really can't beat the Japanese who are bent on "serving the imperial state"! In the face of the fanatical bayonet attack of the Japanese, the Russians, who had neither French blood nor German firepower, were not so strong. After all, executing orders and not retreating until death are two different concepts!
The second is more present~~~, ask for collection~~~ ask for recommendation~~~.
