"Huh?"

Song Zhanbiao's face was shocked, and he struggled to calculate in his heart how many eldest sons there were in a day for seven yuan of Guangyang a month.

He Changying turned around and led the officers of the anti-Japanese army down the mountain.

"With so many bullets from Lushun this time, we are not short of them; Now Liu Kun is asking Wang Wenshao for bullets every day, and the lawsuit has gone to the emperor. ”

Li Jingfang looked at the bullet box of the thirty-horse carriage on the post road under the mountain, and his face was happy.

In the three cities outside the pass, there are now 1.2 or 300 million rounds of ammunition, and in the battle on the 6th, more than 300,000 rounds were released by the 8,000 soldiers in the three cities, and there were no bullets, and no matter how good the rifle was, it was all wood-burning sticks.

On the 29th of the lunar month, after Song Zhanbiao, an artillery position in Shanhaiguan, routinely bombarded the ice in the Laolongtou sea area, he exchanged guards with the Xiao Ligang battalion of the anti-Japanese army.

As soon as Liu Kun heard the announcement of his subordinates, he snorted coldly: "No matter who is in the fort, if there is a mistake in the battle, I will kill them to correct military discipline!" ”

Subsequently, Liu Kunyi ordered the direct troops stationed in Luanzhou, the three battalions of the Ming army general Chen Fenglou's horse team, to move the army to camp along the coastline along the post road in Shanhaiguan.

On the one hand, it prevents a small group of Japanese troops from risking their lives to bypass the old dragon head to raid the artillery battalion, and at the same time monitors the movement of the artillery battalion.

At noon on the 29th of the lunar month, He Changying, Li Jingfang, Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, Xia Qingyun, Liu Mingyang, Fan Wenli, Nie Pengcheng, Shen Zengjia, and a group of generals were sitting in Anglo's staff room, checking and filling in the gaps.

I got the news from the north city of the north wing of the city that there were a lot of changes on the side of the Japanese army.

The generals hurriedly climbed the north city wall, only to see that in the direction of the Japanese position in the north, several thin black lines extended to the south, and then scattered and assembled in modules among the vast mountains and hills to the north.

He Changying put down the binoculars in his hand, and said with a pale face: "Youpeng from Shan County is finally here!" ”

The generals were silent, and they all changed their binoculars one by one, all of them with iron-blue faces.

Headquarters of the First Army of the Oriental Army.

The headquarters of the 3rd Division of the Army, and the 5th and 6th brigades (missing the 19th Wing and 2nd Brigade and Yoshijiro Ohara).

2nd Brigade of Sappers, 3rd Brigade.

The 1st Squadron, the 3rd Brigade, and the 5th Brigade of the 2nd Brigade of the Heavy Soldiers.

Army Field Hospital.

Not counting tens of thousands of Korean soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, tens of thousands of Oriental soldiers, baggage soldiers, and field doctors, the combat strength of the entire Japanese First Army reached nearly 27,000 people.

On the opposite side of it, the Qing army's Shanhaiguan defense line also concentrated nearly 37,000 troops.

In terms of numbers, the Qing army seems to have a great advantage, and it is the Japanese army attacking and the Qing army defending, occupying the right time and place.

It seemed that the Japanese army would be defeated.

However, in a real battle, a hundred hungry wolves can definitely easily cripple a thousand sheep.

South Water Well.

Youpeng and a group of senior generals of the Japanese army stood on a high slope and looked at Shanhaiguan.

"The Eleventh Brigade of Yasumi Oji, the Hiroshima base camp will be equipped with enough troops of 10,000 people; At this point, 9 of the 6 field divisions and 12 brigades of the Imperial Army will be put into the Qing Dynasty to participate in the Qing-Japanese War; If you don't win, you and my armies will all commit suicide by disembowelment, and don't go back to the East to be humiliated. ”

"Hey!"

The roar of the hillside was overwhelming.

"The elite of the Qing army's Beiyang has been annihilated by repeated attacks by the imperial army in Korea and Liaodong, and the only remaining remnants of the main force have been compressed in Lushun, waiting for their final fate, and there is still a remnant army that has been suppressed to Fengbei to survive, and there is not much time; The Qing army on the opposite side, no matter how many troops there were, was a group of mud-legged people who had just come out of the fields, and in the face of the iron hooves of the empire, they could only kneel down and tremble and pray! ”

A friend in Shanxian County shouted with great ambition: "Since the three cities outside the gate are their nails, then, knock them out tomorrow and give Daqing a big New Year's gift!" ”

"Report to the commander, the Western observation group and the war correspondent asked to enter Shanhaiguan and return to Jinmen for the New Year, and these foreigners are riding horses to Nanshuijing."

A Japanese lieutenant rode up the hill and jumped off his horse to report loudly.

"Yaga, you bastards!"

Youpeng in Shanxian County was instructing the country to prepare a poem, but when he heard the news, he was extremely dissatisfied.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, the New Year of the foreigners has long passed, I'm afraid that because of the attack on Shanhaiguan, these guys are going to discuss things with their Qing envoys."

The face of the deputy chief of staff of the First Army, Tamura Yizao, suddenly became very ugly.

"Whatever they want; This group of foreign devils, sooner or later the butcher's knife of the empire will kill them cleanly! ”

Youpeng in Yama County, who was born as a single samurai, has always believed that the loser does not lose the battle, although he knows in his heart that the empire still can't win against the Western powers, but the words in his mouth are extremely imposing.

Listening to Tamura Jardine's words, the Japanese generals on the hillside were all angry, from Korea to the Qing Dynasty, this group of foreign uncles pointed fingers all day long, it was really not ordinary annoying.

"Here it is; See what they have to say. ”

Katsura Taro knew that the teacher had always looked down on these foreigners, but he had to hold back his anger.

Last time, because he reprimanded Lieutenant Colonel Smirnov, a staff officer of the Far Eastern Military District Command of Tsarist Russia, he was sent back to Tokyo by Smirnov's small report, and was grabbed by Ito Hirobumi, and he talked about it for a while in the telegram.

A group of Westerners came to the South Well but did not come up, only Lieutenant Colonel Puley, the head of the British Artillery Division, came up.

OK!

Katsura Taro and a group of staff officers breathed a sigh of relief, and if Smirnov's nasty ghost didn't come up, the chances of unpleasantness would be much smaller.

"Your Excellency, tomorrow is your East Asian New Year, and we have decided to go to Jinmen for a grand festival and buy some utensils; The sappers who troubled Your Excellency continued to repair our temporary housing, and the members of the regiment complained that it was not well ventilated, and that the room was too cold and not warm, and hoped that by the time we returned, this little problem would have been well solved. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Pu Lei, who spent several years in both the Qing Dynasty and Tokyo, was extremely dissatisfied with the brutal killings carried out by the Japanese troops who had secretly avoided them, although he admired the enterprising spirit of the Japanese and despised the numbness of the Qing people and the cunning of the officials.

"Ventilation and warmth?"

Pu Lei's words made the Japanese generals on the slope a little angry.

"There's no need to repair it, Fukushima Yasumasa, don't the soldiers hate the cold wind blowing their butts? Turn these houses into thatched pits to keep the soldiers pooping a little warmer. ”

Seeing that Pu Lei, who was already full of shame and anger, Youpeng of Shan County said proudly in a cold voice: "Lieutenant Colonel, you don't have to come back here to be cold, before you finish the New Year, the imperial army has already captured Jinmen; Why bother running back and forth in vain. ”

"Your Excellency the Earl is truly confident; I'll wait and see, and I just hope that Your Excellency won't let us down, and that we'll have to walk the 200-mile post road. ”

Pu Lei's words also became very polite.

"Haha-"

There are friends in Shan County who pointed to the mountain customs: "The so-called Xiongguan, in my eyes, is just a paper wall!" ”
