Chapter 258: Design

"Since the Qing army has lost the important city of Pyongyang, the three cities of Anju, Suzhou, and Dingzhou are obviously more suitable for the defense of the city; Moreover, the Qing naval division was defeated, and Pyongyang broke and fled, and if the Qing army did not want to be annihilated, it could only retreat to Uiju and rely on the Yalu River and the empire to resist stubbornly. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The chief of staff of the First Army, Major General Ogawa, recounted to the generals in the hall the inferences drawn by their staff officers:

"So these Qing troops may be a small group, with dozens or hundreds of soldiers, who were deliberately left around Pyongyang to harass and attack the empire, trying to interfere with the northward advance of the imperial army."

"In the big picture, these forces will not have any adverse effect on the victory of the Empire, but they will cause a lot of problems for the Empire, such as logistics and transportation;"

The deputy chief of staff of the First Army, Iva Tamura, added: "Especially in the future, after the army enters Liaodong to fight, the role of the North Korean supply line will be particularly important in the winter when the coastal sea and the Yalu River port are frozen." ”

Yama Prefecture pondered for a while and began to issue the final directive.

"Oshima Yoshima Division, some of your troops are stationed in Pyongyang, Suzhou, Anzhou, Dingzhou, and Guicheng, relying on the city to exterminate all the remnants of the Qing army in the territory."

"Hey!"

Yoshimasa Oshima's humiliating instinct for suicide was to use his elite 9th Brigade as a second-class local unit.

However, the shameful results of Dongsenling and Plantussubin made Oshima Yoshimasa unable to have any confidence in questioning.

"Immediately see Shangwen, your department will set off tomorrow to the north, such as Suzhou, Anzhou, Dingzhou, each city is defended by the Qing army, and it will be annihilated on the spot; After arriving in Yiju, if Yiju is defended by the Qing army, attack them directly! ”

In the mind of Youpeng in Shanxian County, any art of war, strategy and strategy are stinky dogs~, under the iron fist attack of the Imperial Army, they will immediately collapse and annihilate, and they will be vulnerable.

Attack, attack, attack.

Fight all the way to the capital of the Qing Kingdom, capture the little emperor of the Qing Kingdom and the old woman alive, let them bow to His Majesty the Emperor, and hand over the entire territory of the Qing Dynasty to the empire.

This is what the iron-blooded Imperial Army should do.

"Hey!"

Immediately saw Shang Wen drink loudly.

"The rest of the departments, give you 8 days to prepare, on October 4th, the whole army will set off for the Qing Dynasty and destroy them!"

Youpeng of Shan County nervously raised his right hand, clenched his fist tightly, and shouted:

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the capture of Pyongyang by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the minister of imperial affairs three hundred years ago, the empire has never been able to take a further step north, and drinking the Yalu River is a dream that the empire has been striving for for thousands of years, but has never realized; Now, this thousand-year-old imperial dream is realized by you! ”

"Drink the Yalu River!"

Youpeng in Shanxian pulled his neck and yelled desperately.

"Drink the Yalu River!"

"Drink the Yalu River!"

In the hall, all the Japanese generals roared in unison, which shocked Kishiro Inoue's ears and turned black.

"These bulls!"

Inoue Yoshiro muttered in a low voice, and even his own uncle, Yama Prefecture Youpeng, scolded him together.

In the early morning of the next day, the Xuanwu Gate was opened, and more than 3,000 troops of the 10th Brigade of the Shangwen Department rushed out of the city, along the Yiju Avenue, towards the north.

At the same time, two squadrons of Japanese troops at Jinghaeemun Gate and Changqingmun Gate quietly left Pyongyang City, wearing the clothes of local Korean civilians.

This was a plan that Oshima Yoshimasa and Tachimi Naomumi discussed in the middle of the night after the military meeting last night.

The 10th Brigade took the right road to Yiju Avenue to attract the Qing army.

Nishijima Suke Yoshinakasa led a disguised squadron as the right flank and secretly walked through the sorghum forest five miles north of Euiju Avenue.

Okuyama Yoshisho led another disguised squadron as the left flank and sneaked along the north bank of the ordinary river south of Uiju Avenue.

The purpose is to strike together from east to west and completely annihilate the shameless Qing army.

What Oshima Yoshimasa didn't know was that when their disguised squadron left Jinghai Gate, Cao Lixing and the three of them from the reconnaissance platoon of the Korean reinforcement army discovered this anomaly, and quickly guessed the sinister intentions of the Japanese army.

"The Japanese army has already advanced north, and our reconnaissance platoon can all immediately withdraw to Anzhou according to the instructions of the regiment commander; Immediately return at full speed, inform all the scouts along the road to retreat, and I will inform the brothers of the special company. ”

As the deputy squad leader, Cao Lixing hurriedly gave the order to retreat, and then quickly advanced along the river embankment on the west bank of the ordinary river, wanting to report to the special company.

About two hours later, just as the sun was just jumping over the hillside, the 5th Cavalry Brigade, the vanguard of the 10th Brigade, reached Mount Kanbei and continued its march north.

After leaving Kanbei Mountain, the cavalry suddenly became nervous, pulled the bolt and loaded the bullets, and held them tightly in their hands, preparing for a battle that could break out at any time.

"Paralysis, these rabbits have finally come out, it's a lot, it's a tough battle!"

On the east side of Yizhou Avenue, on a densely wooded hillside about a mile away from the avenue, Fang Dahai put down the binoculars in his hand and said to Chen Zhihui beside him: "Send two brothers to inform Liu Mingyang, who is stationed at Shun'an Station, and ask them to notify the head of the regiment as soon as possible; Inform everyone that if they are separated in battle, they will meet at Eagle's Beak Mountain in the Jianlong Reservoir. ”

"The sea, there are so many Japanese soldiers, why should we provoke them?"

Not long after, after the news that the Korean reinforcements were going to attack the Japanese army reached the Huangminghe outpost, Ma Shunde hurriedly ran over to dissuade him.

Seeing Huang Minghe, Chen Erniu's group of Qing soldiers all came over, and Fang Dahai said with a smile: "Brothers have also seen it these days, the hundred and ten Japanese soldiers who died in our hands were not three heads and six arms, and they had two *** and died without being injured by one shot; This matter is so decided, but these days the Yijun brothers are also tired, why don't you find a place to rest, and we will fight? ”

"Why don't you go?"

Chen Erniu squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Shunde with disdain.

"I'll paralyze Chen Erniu and turn the sky upside down!"

When Ma Shunde heard this, he jumped up and scolded: "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu shot you? ”

"When I saw the Japanese army, I was more damn softer than a softer, and I was really capable of comparing my own people to a tiger like a cow!"

Chen Erniu grimaced and continued to taunt the red-faced Ma Shunde.

"You're paralyzed, let go, let go of me!"

Ma Shunde scolded angrily, picked up the rifle in his hand and was about to smash it towards Niu Er, but was held by several soldiers who were quick to help the Korean army, unable to move.

"In this way, those who are willing to go will stand this way, and those who are unwilling will stand that side."

At this time, Huang Minghe spoke, and took the initiative to stand on Fang Dahai's side.

Chen Erniu stood over without hesitation.

Soon, of the sixty or seventy Yi soldiers, only five of Ma Shunde stood on the other side.

"Haha, isn't this solved, as for being so angry?"

Fang Dahai laughed, and seemed to have unintentionally exchanged glances with Chen Zhihui and Wang Guanji.

Each of them saw the killing intent hidden under the deep sea under each other's eyes!

Just like He Changying explained before leaving, the arduous war behind enemy lines can best expose the quality of a soldier.

And a grain of rat poop can bring a devastating disaster to the entire army.

But this matter is obviously not in a hurry now, as long as you know it in your heart, and then think about it in the long run, and slowly figure it out, but also.

Half an hour later, the first ambush detachment of the special company lurked on a hillside 200 meters north of Uiju Avenue.

Between it and Euiju Avenue, there is a green sorghum field.

Because there were too many Japanese troops, the reinforcement army could not bypass the avenue and set up an ambush in the east, so Fang Dahai decided to divide the troops into three divisions and raid and harass them in the west.

At this time, on this section of the road, the artillery units of the Japanese army were marching.

"Bang!"

With Chen Erniu's first start, a Japanese lieutenant on a war horse fell headlong.

There was chaos on Uiju Avenue, and there was shouting everywhere.

"Bang, bangβ€”"

On the hillside, 61 soldiers of the Yi Army of the Korean Reinforcement Army opened fire at the same time, shooting at the Japanese troops on Uiju Avenue.
