Chapter 493: What are you fighting for?
"Retreat, retreat!"
Yongzhi Fukushima, who was fighting at more than 200 meters, was also stunned at first by the sudden appearance of the Green cannon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he came back to his senses, he saw that his charging team was being beaten into a mess by the fierce beast-like Green Cannon combined with the rifles on both sides of the anti-Japanese army's northern city.
Fukushima knew that not only had the raid and demolition operation been a complete failure.
If it was a little later, maybe his two infantry squadrons, plus an engineer squadron, would be buried at the north gate of the north wing of the city, and he hurriedly shouted and jumped and gave the order to retreat.
"Back off, back off!"
The Japanese charging team, at this time, had already been frightened by this Green cannon, and after hearing the order, they all shouted and turned around and ran.
"Ah, Yaga--don't step on me! Ahh
The Japanese soldiers who were huddled together did not care about the lives of the fallen soldiers at all, and trampled on the wounded Japanese soldiers on the ground and shouted 'wow', and a few were trampled to death on the spot.
"Da-da-da-
A long bullet chain happened to finish, and Liu Mingyang, with a hint of comfortable pride, regretfully thought that it was too late to change the bullet chain.
What a pity!
"Ahh
After the Japanese charging party fled back to their positions, from 50 meters in front of the North City Gate to 150 meters from the Japanese attack line, there were corpses lying all the way and seriously wounded soldiers who were still screaming repeatedly.
Stumps and severed arms, brains, dragging intestines flowing out of the stomach, desperately towards the Japanese position, screaming while crawling soldiers,-
A blood-stained bloody road was paved.
At this moment, both the Qing army and the Japanese army were so shocked by this bloody road of corpses piled up that they forgot to shoot.
There was an extremely rare, ghostly and terrifying tranquility in the North Wing City.
"Shoot!"
With Fukushima Yongzhi's angry roar, the North Wing City suddenly burst into gunfire, and the fierce fire from the top and bottom of the city immediately began again.
"Brothers, these fools!"
I don't know which anti-Japanese army man on the city wall roared, and immediately aroused the emotions of all the soldiers, and they all shot while shouting with laughter: "Kill these fools!" ”
Hearing the laughter and shouting of the Qing army coming from the city wall on the north wing, although Fukushima Yongzhi couldn't hear it clearly, of course, it was impossible to understand what the shouting was, but without thinking, he could guess everything.
At this moment, Fukushima Yongzhi, lying on the cold earth, his face was red and burning in shame, and he wanted to die on this hard frozen soil.
On the north wing of the city walls.
He Changying returned to her original position with a smile, raised her binoculars and looked at both sides of the rear, the Qing and Japanese sides in East and West Luo City were still in a fierce stalemate, and the Japanese army did not have the rest of its abnormal actions.
However, it is also natural to think about it, because the two Japanese brigades attacking the East and West Luo City are only responsible for containment, and the northern wing city is the target of the Japanese army's breakthrough this time.
Moreover, with more than 1,000 troops, it is obviously not so easy to break through a fortified city defended by 2,000 people.
"Anzhi, these soldiers fought really well, and the same is true of Dongluo City; Look at Zhou Zhongsheng, I have been observing Nancheng for a long time, and I fought very bravely, but in Pyongyang and Liaodong, how could I be easily defeated? And it's a complete defeat! ”
Li Jingfang was attracted by the roar of the Green Cannon in the southern city, and had the courage to sneak a glance at the tragic situation below from the battlement of the north wall, and then endured the nausea, and retreated to He Changying's side with a pale face, with a questioning face.
"First of all, the soldiers must be courageous, and secondly, the soldiers must understand what they are fighting for, that they are fighting for their country and for their home; Let them have a sense of pride and mission, not just fighting for a few taels of silver. ”
He Changying said in a cold voice with a slightly weird tone: "For a few taels of silver, not many people will be stupid and desperate. ”
For the Chinese army, He Changying never doubted the bravery of the soldiers.
Starting from Dongxian Ridge, a series of battles have proved that both veterans and recruits can burst out with the courage to see death as if they were at home and dare to fight to the death at critical times.
Throughout the First Sino-Japanese Battlefield, if it weren't for Ye Zhichao's mistake in dividing a large number of troops in the early stage of Pyongyang City, which led to the lack of troops in the city, and in the later stage, he abandoned the city and fled for fear of death and rain, and was ambushed by the Japanese army.
It was impossible for Nozu Dokan to occupy Pyongyang City so easily and inflict heavy losses on the Qing army in Pyongyang.
You must know that the Qing troops of the previous Funabashi Fort, Datongmen, Pingpingjiang, Wei Rugui and Ma Yukun allied forces all had the advantage, beating the Japanese army to the point of crying wolf, and it was difficult to suppress an inch.
Later, the defense line of the Yalu River, not Song Qing's careful eyes, had a dirty relationship with Iktanga, and forcibly squeezed out Iktanga's nearly 8,000 troops.
Liu Shengxiu of the Ming Army is another ghost who is afraid of death, and he has an army of 4,000 and cannot go out of the city to reinforce.
The defense line of the Yalu River is not something that can be conquered by a friend in Shanxian County.
There is also Jinzhou City, it is not that Li Hongzhang is short-sighted and selfish, and Jinzhou City is not so easy to capture as Dashanyan.
Not to mention the Dalian Bay, which has 120 guns, as long as the Beiyang Naval Division dares to enter the bay to assist in the operation, even if the Japanese Combined Fleet and the Second Army of the Army conquer Dalian Bay, the Combined Fleet and the Second Army are estimated to be half-crippled.
In He Changying's view, just as he said to Li Jingfang, the two problems of 'generals and soldiers' were the fundamental reasons for the successive defeats of the Qing army.
First, almost all the officers of the Qing Dynasty relied on the village party, nepotism, silver, smuggling beards, and adding the guts and grooves of the officials.
All kinds of relationships climbed up.
One by one, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, smoking, embezzlement, bribery, goose plucking, and one by one, their hearts and eyes are smaller than the nose of a needle, forming gangs and factions, fighting against differences, and not distinguishing between right and wrong, only talking about intimacy and intimacy, and internal friction is not stopped.
Because he eats, drinks and has fun on weekdays, gambles money and plays with women, and does not want to make progress, he is not only as stupid as a pig, but also timid and afraid of death.
Therefore, when you arrive at the battlefield, you don't think about how to win and control the enemy, but only think about how to die and don't die in poverty, and you have to run away when you get the opportunity.
The second is that the soldiers do not know who they are fighting for and why.
In order to prevent soldiers from escaping, the Qing army has always adopted the method of withholding military salaries.
At present, the military directly subordinate to the army is generally pressed for more than three months.
The soldiers who went to Korea and fought in the northeast had already stopped their salaries, saying that they were waiting for the post-war repayment.
After Li Bingheng, the governor of Ludong, took office on the peninsula, he even ordered that only half of the remaining monthly military salary be paid on the premise of withholding military salaries for three months.
Since the bureaucrats of the Qing Dynasty used silver as a means to threaten the soldiers with their lives, how many soldiers would really lose their lives for the sake of silver?
Under the repeated cutting of the Qing Dynasty, the common people and bureaucrats of the Han Dynasty not only dragged a long pig's tail behind their heads, but also degenerated their minds step by step into cows, horses, jackals, foxes, and beasts.
Become a typical jungle rule, savage and rough inferior world.
Just like the groups of awakened people before the East, in the past ten years, groups have come to the Qing Dynasty and hiked the mountains and rivers and northeast and north.
It is to find like-minded comrades-in-arms in the Qing Dynasty, unite with the Qing and Japan to dominate Asia, and then resist the Western countries, and finally realize the dream of the Qing and Japan to divide the world.
As a result, I saw the ignorance and cunning of the Chinese people, and the stupidity and greed of the Qing officials.
The Oriental began to slowly change its thinking, from uniting the Qing Dynasty to first conquering the Qing Dynasty and then challenging the world.
