"In this situation, the Qing and Japanese armies are facing each other outside Jinzhou City, and the seven hundred elite cavalry of the empire are deep into the hinterland of Dalian Bay, if I am the commander of the Qing army, what should I do now?"

Yamachi Motoji looked at the East Gate of Jinzhou City in the west, Chunhe Gate, and fell into deep thought. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I will pull out this stinger in the back at all costs before the army fights a decisive battle! They must not be given time to calmly deploy their troops. ”

Yamachi Genji's voice became colder and colder, and he strode down the hillside and ordered: "Gather all the officers and have a meeting immediately!" ”

At 5:30 a.m. on November 7, 1894, the Japanese First Infantry Wing of the Tokyo Infantry, the Second Wing of the Sakura Infantry, and the Third Wing of the Tokyo Infantry, with more than 10,000 troops simultaneously launched a fierce attack on Maqiaozi and Chenjiatun.

Soon after the battle began, the 2nd and 3rd Brigades of the 15th Wing of the Japanese Army, also under the orders of Kono Tsuyoshi Daisa, launched an attack on Lin Yunyu's division in Sanli Village and Hanjiatun.

The Japanese army's Shimenzi artillery position, the Qing army's Chenjiatun Taishan artillery position, and the city defense field artillery of Jinzhou City Tower immediately began to fire ferociously.

At this moment before dawn, the anti-Japanese army and the Japanese army fought in the dark.

The cannons roared in unison, the whole earth was buzzing and trembling, countless bullets in the sky, the cannonballs pulled out red bullet marks, and a huge roar enveloped the entire heaven and earth.

Because of the fierce outbreak of the war on the eastern front in Jinzhou, the Japanese army's fierce and pressing offensive made He Changying and the staff not sure for a while whether the Japanese army was going to attack or had other intentions.

In desperation, the plan formulated by the General Staff to draw troops from the Eastern Front and quickly gather and annihilate the Japanese cavalry entrenched in the vicinity of Lashufang Village was also disrupted and had to be readjusted.

The Yin Desheng battalion of the Renzi Army, the Jiang Zikang battalion, and the Lu Tie leg of the first battalion of the cavalry regiment, commanded by Qu Desheng, entered the right flank of the Chenjiatun Heights to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through the gap between Maqiaozi and the Chenjiatun Heights.

The remaining two battalions of the Renzi Army, plus the second battalion of the cavalry regiment, Wu Ruisheng's battalion, under the command of Jiang Zikang, continued to defend the area around Jijiatun, stifled the bay, and prevented the Japanese cavalry from breaking through.

The more than 1,000 new troops stationed in Dalian Bay, Mao Chao's cavalry regiment newly formed a cavalry battalion, and Zhao Liuhong's Huaizi army 1 battalion, totaling more than 1,800 troops.

It began to march towards the area of Lashufang Village, Dala Shufang Village, and Xiaola Shufang Village, where the Japanese cavalry was entrenched.

Zhao Liuhong and the other battalion of infantry in his hands were holding on to Laolong Island.

The remaining more than 1,000 recruits of the Korean army continued to build fortifications in Nanguanling, while tightly sealing the pass to prevent the Japanese army from attacking.

According to the original plan, the attack was scheduled for 6:30 a.m. sharp.

La Shufang Village.

Hearing the cannon roar in the direction of Jinzhou, the Japanese cavalry who were still dreaming ran out of the farmhouse they had occupied.

Yesterday, after occupying these three villages, the nearly 600-odd cavalry carried out a complete blockade, released a vigilance, and then went from house to house.

The old lady Zhou, a villager in Lashufang Village, had just scolded 'a Japanese beast', and was stabbed to death by a Japanese soldier who could understand expressions although he could not understand Chinese.

The three Japanese cavalry squadron leaders who ate fat chicken last night and slept with the flower girl heard the fierce artillery fire from the east, and they all gathered together refreshed to discuss action.

"There are too many Qing troops here, and the defense is too tight, I suggest that while there is a big battle in the east, we should immediately return along the path by the Bohai Sea."

Captain Fujikiyoshi, the leader of the 3rd Cavalry Squadron of the Japanese Army, looked at the still white sky and said, "Now is the best time. ”

Masajiro Kono and Ho Tada no longer objected after hearing this.

Now Dalian Bay is full of Qing troops, and the mountains are vertical and horizontal, with uneven heights, and it is not suitable for cavalry to attack in formation, so it is better to return to Chuangjialou.

Masajiro Kono immediately made a decision: "Grab a clear pig as a guide and return immediately!" ”

Soon, the Japanese cavalry captured a farmer with a simple face.

Tada Bao threw three yellow dentures up and down in his hand, and pointed to the east: "Your clear place? There is a big reward! ”

"Understood, understood, this is Old Lady Zhou's dentures, golden, I understand."

The honest farmer had a flattering smile on his face.

"Haha, clear pig!"

A group of Japanese cavalry standing next to him all showed disdain.

At 5:50 a.m., the Japanese cavalry brigade, under the guidance of a simple guide, moved in the direction of Jinzhou in the dark night.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Mao Chao, who had been hesitating, finally got a telegram from Jinzhou to attack in advance.

Mao Chao immediately ordered all his troops to launch an attack on Lashufang Village, but found that the building was empty, and there was no shadow of a Japanese cavalry.

"Pursue it now!"

Mao Chao asked the direction of the Japanese cavalry, knew that they wanted to escape, and immediately shouted and ordered the whole army to speed up the pursuit.

And the battle in the direction of Golden State is still raging.

At 6:10 a.m., there was a white fish belly in the east, and with the light, the speed of the Japanese cavalry suddenly accelerated, and the crop man was sweating profusely on a donkey.

At 7:15, the Japanese cavalry was deliberately introduced into the Jijiatun Qing army to block the defensive line.

"Haha, you brutes; Daughter-in-law, you are optimistic in the spirit of heaven, and I have avenged you! ”

Seeing a large number of Qing troops on the slope in front, the crop man had a hideous tear on his face, looked up at the sky and shouted: "When you go to the king of Hades, you have to complain about your grievances, and let all these beasts get into the oil pot." ”

"The Uyi are coming, the Uyi are coming!"

At this time, the Renzi army, who was cooking, saw the Japanese cavalry suddenly appear at the mouth of the bay, and they were shocked and shouted to get the rifles that were set aside.

"The whole battalion is on horseback and attacking!"

Wu Ruisheng, the commander of the second battalion of the cavalry regiment, jumped up with a shout, and rushed to his war horse while giving the order.

"Junmen, what should we do?"

Pan Jinshan ran to Jiang Zikang's side in a panic, and complained again and again: "This Mao Chao, he has three or four thousand people in Dalian Bay, are they all eating idle meals!" ”

Jiang Zikang rebuked Pan Jinshan with a righteous face: "What a panic!" Our troops are twice as large as theirs, and we are afraid that we will not be able to destroy these Japanese soldiers? The sons and daughters all picked up my guns and killed the widows! ”

Pan Jinshan was bitter when he heard this, they are elite cavalry, most of them are new troops, and Wu Ruisheng's Xinsheng army cavalry camp is only about 300 people, this battle is not easy to fight!

"Don't say it, have you forgotten what happened to Zhao Huaiye?"

Jiang Zikang coldly reminded Pan Jinshan and his nephew Jiang Muchen: "Today is Lafayette's birthday, and the defeat provoked He Changying, whoever sent the impeachment telegram will have to go to prison!" ”

"Kill them!"

Jiang Muchen gritted his teeth and roared: "People are hanging to the sky!" ”

"Brothers, call me!"

Jiang Muchen roared and rushed towards his own defense line.

"Gotcha, people are hanging to the sky!"

Pan Jinshan twisted his old face, and ran towards his team with a fierce and helpless face: "Brothers, resist me, resist it!" ”

"Baga, bastard, you piggy!"

Fujiki Daishi yelled and shot the farmer who was looking up to the sky and laughing, and then ordered loudly: "Formation, charge, charge!" ”

"Bang bang—"

Suddenly, gunfire erupted in the Jijiatun area.

More than 600 cavalrymen of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army in Tokyo, and nearly 1,300 infantry knights of the 3rd Battalion of the Anti-Japanese Army and the Renzi Army, launched a fierce firefight.
