Chapter 468: The Japanese army is in a hurry
Before Zhang Yi's army set out from Shanhaiguan, the Japanese army in Korea began to attack the three eastern provinces.
Seeing that Shangwen could not attack the Fengtian border for a long time, there were strong elite third divisions and an artillery brigade stationed here, as well as the eighth division to assist in the operation, with the help of the Yalu River as a battle, for more than half a month, the Japanese tens of thousands of troops, and they were not able to do anything.
Waited until now, now it has entered December, the severe cold has shrouded the entire three eastern provinces, the Yalu River has also begun to freeze, in the Jilin region, the ice is now more than one meter thick, and at the same time, a large number of elite troops were transferred by Zhang Yi to Heilongjiang to fight fiercely with the Russian army, and now Jilin has become the emptiest area.
As soon as Zhang Yi left Mukden, a Japanese intelligence agency sent the news to the hands of Lijian Shangwen, and after Lijian Shangwen read it, he jumped up excitedly, the Chinese tiger went south to Shanhaiguan, it seems that the pressure exerted by the Russian army in front of Shanhaiguan is too great, and his troops are a little unable to hold on!
Now, now, the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again!
Immediately saw that Shangwen immediately ordered the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Divisions of the empire to begin to go north along the Yalu River, heading straight to the opposite bank of Jilin, and at the same time ordered the Fifth Division and the Twelfth Division to continue to fight with the Qing army on the opposite side here, attracting the attention of the Mukden army.
It's just that it seems to be hidden, but how can it be hidden, the blue wolf and thistle left by Zhang Yi on the other side of the Yalu River back then, the two forces are now under the oppression of the Japanese army, and they have long been merged into one and established a unified organization.
As soon as they got the news, they sent it back to Mukden.
By the time Xu Huaijin received the telegram, it was already noon on the second day after Lijian Shangwen finished deploying the command. Crossing the King of Special Forces 468
Xu Huaijin was shocked, and now, Japan is finally going to do it!
Moreover, there are three divisions and 50,000 troops, which is much more than the strength of the two divisions last time
!
And as the Japanese army has gained a firm foothold in Jilin, I am afraid that more troops will enter Jilin!
Xu Huaijin hurriedly summoned all the military generals in Mukden and convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
At this time, the Japanese army had already arrived near Jilin, from the south side of Xin'an Prefecture to the north side, and had entered the opposite side of Tonghua, but the Japanese army did not stay all the way to the north, and marched all the way to the Baishan area, and began to stay, urgently preparing for battle.
At this time, Shi Dakai's main force was still in the Hunchun area of Yanji, and the last fierce battle in Jilin was carried out in this area.
When Shi Dakai was studying the military deployment, he suddenly received an urgent call from Xu Huaijin: The Japanese army is rushing north, targeting Baishan, and quickly deploying defenses!
Shi Dakai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, there are still more than a hundred miles away from Baishan here, close to two hundred miles away, even if it is a full-speed march, it will take two days.
Shi Dakai immediately sent an order to Zhang Zuolin, and immediately led a brigade of men and horses to immediately advance to the territory of Baishan to set up defenses, no matter what, to suppress the Japanese army on the other side of the Yalu River, and the main force of the Zhenbian Army will arrive later!
After more than ten days, the current Zhenbian Army has replenished the new army of 6,000 people, but they have not been on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is almost zero, and now they can only catch ducks on the shelves.
Zhang Zuolin is also anxious now, once he is beaten in by the Japanese army, and if he wants to drive it out, it will be difficult, the three Japanese army reorganized divisions,, I want Lao Tzu's life!
Zhang Zuolin did not dare to slack off, took all his elite first brigade with him, and marched all the way to Baishan, now is the time to compare, to see who can reach the destination first, who wins the first opportunity, who will occupy the overall initiative, but even if Zhang Zuolin's first brigade occupies the initiative, what can he do, he only has one brigade of troops, facing the three integrated divisions of the Japanese army, it is not enough to stuff his teeth.
Zhang Zuolin, who was marching desperately, finally rushed to the banks of the Yalu River in Baishan before the arrival of the Japanese army, and waited for his army to just finish deploying its position, and it was not yet an hour that had passed.
The 7th Division, the vanguard of the Japanese army, had already reached the opposite bank, and without even resting its breath, it directly threw itself into the attack.
Now the ice of the Yalu River is frozen thick, and there is no longer a need for ships to transport troops and weapons, the Japanese army directly threw the troops of two regiments onto the Yalu River, and launched a frantic attack on the opposite side of the town on the river, and an artillery regiment behind began a ferocious artillery bombardment, hoping to break up the position of the town border army
。 Crossing the King of Special Forces 468
Fortunately, Zhang Zuolin had just built a simple fortification, otherwise, this fierce artillery bombardment would have been enough for his first brigade.
But even so, Zhang Zuolin was under great pressure, and the Japanese army suddenly poured up the strength of two regiments, which was too violent!
Zhang Zuolin also ignored the fatigue of his subordinates, desperately reacted back, and desperately blocked the Japanese army on the opposite bank, after two hours of fierce fighting.
Zhang Zuolin finally blocked the Japanese army back, but in just two hours of bloody fighting, the first brigade had already suffered thousands of casualties, of course, the Japanese losses were more serious, close to 2,000 people, the Japanese army was on the ice, and at the most they could attack directly without ferrying by steamer, but the ice was smooth, and they marched too slowly, and if they accelerated a little, they would fall into a blue nose and swollen face, and the Japanese army was still complaining.
Just when the two sides were pausing for a moment to prepare for the second fierce battle, the Japanese Eighth Division also arrived.
The commander of the Eighth Division is none other than Nogi Noshinori, who is about to be promoted to commander of the First Korean Army, this guy is known as the god of war in the War Department because of his aggressive thoughts and brave and good fighting, and he is the fastest to rise in military ranks.
Nogi Noshinori and the commander of the Seventh Division, Long Wen Xiaoquan, were in one place.
After listening to the introduction of the dragon pattern Koizumi, Nogi Noshinori sneered: "Hmph, the opposite side is just the strength of a brigade, Long Wenjun, you continue to attack here to attract their troops, continue to the north, attack at the fishtail ferry fifteen miles ahead, directly enter Jilin, and wait until the ninth division arrives, let him march at the ferry in the south." Our three divisions are attacking together, and I want to see how the Qing army on the other side can hold off our attack! ”
Hearing this, the dragon pattern Koizumi was overjoyed, and immediately echoed: "Okay, Nogi-kun, good way, we will immediately organize a second wave of attack, I will attract their forces here, you bypass here, attack the territory of China at the fishtail ferry, and attack the first brigade in a roundabout way, we have decided that we can wipe it out in one fell swoop!" ”
As he spoke, the dragon pattern Koizumi directly ordered that the two regiments continue to attack, and the artillery behind carried out a comprehensive covering artillery bombardment, attracting all the Qing troops on the opposite side to be unable to move here. Nogi Noshinori ordered the march to continue and pounced towards the Fishtail Ferry. Where can Zhang Zuolin here take care of the fishtail ferry, a Tianxin ferry makes him feel a lot of pressure, and he has no awareness of the approaching danger.
