1. "The brothers of the big knife battalion are merciful, give us some ears!" ”

The cavalry of Zhang Mingxin's cavalry battalion, when they saw that the legendary Japanese soldiers who beat the elite of the Beiyang to the point of urine, were so vulnerable, they all shouted anxiously in the north: "You have all killed them, and Lao Tzu can only touch himself at night!" ”

"Brothers, Jizhou City is full of yellow-faced mothers-in-law, that is, thirty or fifty sisters, and there are only two or three better restaurants, so that the cavalry brothers can get the silver, and we can't win them with our feet!"

Zhao Dabang, the forward sentry commander of the Broadsword Battalion, saw that the cubs of the Broadsword Battalion slowed down their hands and feet, and hurriedly shouted and reminded with a broken gong: "When the time comes, there will be no wine to drink and no woman will be hot, watching the gentlemen of the riding camp hug the woman and hum a little song, don't complain that Lao Tzu didn't remind me!" ”

"Kill the Japanese and cut off your ears!"

When the swordsmen of the Dadao Battalion heard this, it seemed that it was just like this,—— Shangcang Village was still more than ten miles away from Jizhou City, so that the cavalry could not win against them if they got the silver.

So they yelled again, bravely chasing the Japanese soldiers who fled in embarrassment, and at the same time cut off a pair of ears and stuffed them into the blankets.

Yin Wenxin, the battalion officer of the cavalry battalion, scolded and shouted: "I'm sorry, you're a big stick mallet, your heart is really bad!" Brothers, work hard, killing enough fifty dogs is enough for us to be cool; Look at who will go to Jizhou City first! ”

"Haha, fifty of them can't make you together!"

Zhao Dabang laughed wildly.

"Yaga, these damn cunning dogs!"

Sweating profusely, Tatsuburo Nagainami stopped running in vain, and he turned to look at the red arrows rushing from the north three roads, as well as a large number of killing gods who were all black, and his heart was full of despair.

A quarter of an hour ago, he and his soldiers were still thinking about waiting for noon to surround the town of Beshan, kill people, set fire to eat meat, drink wine, and find women.

How could you have thought that you would fall into a desperate situation in the blink of an eye!

"Stop the retreat, concentrate on building a ring of defense, shoot and block, block! Long live the Empire, long live the Emperor! ”

"Bang!"

"Click."

"Bang!"

Tatsuzaburo Waha, with a twisted face, stood in the snow and began to raise his gun to shoot, quickly reloading and making a final struggle.

"Long live the Emperor!"

The remaining seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers, all of whom were also in despair at this time, heard the order of Tatsuzaburo Nawanami, about half of them stopped fleeing, turned around and gathered together to raise their guns and shoot.

And the remaining half is running even faster.

"Yaga, these bastards, cowards!"

Wahatsu Saburo was so angry that he cursed loudly, but at this time, he had no way to care about these deserters.

Yin Wenxin, the battalion officer of the cavalry battalion, saw this scene, with a sneer of disdain on his face, and ordered loudly: "The left wing cavalry battalion continues to pursue, and the middle army, the right wing, and the horses break through their defensive circle!" ”

"Yu—"

The cavalrymen who heard the order adjusted their horses one after another, and in the sound of horses, they slaughtered into the enemy group.

The Japanese army's ring defense circle was immediately stirred up, and the horses flew and the snow was splashed, and the big knives tied with red ribbons slashed steadily and fiercely at the panicked and dizzy Japanese soldiers.

"Yaga! Steady, steady, shoot quietly, still-"

Tatsuzaburo Waiba yelled with his rifle in his hand, trying to knock down a cavalryman who was rushing towards him ten meters in front of him, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then his head left his neck and fell into the snow with a flip.

"Sixth, you actually robbed me-"

This is the last half of the sentence that Tatsusaburo Waiba heard in his life.

Shangcang Village, the camp of the Chinese army in the Jizhou defense line of the Gan army.

Nie Shicheng, Dong Fuxiang, Wang Yuean, Ma Anliang——

A group of generals sat in the house with a burning charcoal, all with dark faces and dull silence.

Although in the court meeting on the 12th, the Guangxu Emperor, who was in a mood of agitation and humiliation, completely forgot about Dong Fuxiang of the Jizhou Defense Line, but the ministers of military aircraft and the bigwigs of the military department have not forgotten it.

In the afternoon of the same day, a group of military ministers discussed it properly and reported to Guangxu, suggesting that the 10,000 Gan army in Jizhou, as well as the southern Anhui soldiers and Miao soldiers who were newly transferred to Shanhe County, all be transferred back to Tongzhou to join forces with Cheng Wenbing's 10,000 Hubei troops.

With an army of 30,000 to block the road of the Japanese army's westward advance, in the original words of the Song Fold, it is 'to use the glorious army of a hundred battles to deter the Oriental clowns from jumping east to the Ning River, not daring to have a little more distance, and peeping at my dignified Qing Dynasty without soldiers!'" ’

At first glance, this plan is somewhat similar to the military idea of 'decisive battle in Jizhou' proposed by Nie Shicheng before.

In fact, there is a fundamental difference.

Nie Shicheng's intention was to fight a decisive battle, even if he could not defeat the Japanese army in Jizhou, he would consume the Japanese army's strength as much as possible, so that it would no longer have enough strength to threaten the capital.

And the meaning of Weng Tongyong's group of military ministers is to walk out mules and horses to save face, and self-righteous to scare people.

Because they all believe that this damn war is finally over, and the following is just to see how much oil and water the Qing Dynasty can be knocked out by Xiao Dongyang, a poor ghost.

The Japanese have concentrated so many troops in Weihaiwei, and they all said that they will not fight, and their generals have also come to relieve the military power of the misbehaving Shanxian Youpeng, and the world's No. 1 power, the Sun Never Sets Empire, can this war not end?

The Qing Dynasty has a territory of thousands of miles and a population of hundreds of millions, and how many things can be knocked out with all the strength of the small Japanese?

To tell the truth, the Qing Dynasty plucked a hair casually, and it was thicker than their thighs!

The most important thing now is that 'losing people don't lose the battle', and the face work must be done with great strength and brilliance, but we can't let Xiao Yi look down on our Qing Dynasty.

We have to let them understand that our Daqing is not not not unable to fight, nor is it impossible to win, but to look at the oriental's 'poor and naughty', and reward them with a little bit of oil and water exposed in the cracks of their big hands!

When Emperor Guangxu heard this, he also felt that it was such a reason, and hurriedly ordered the southern Anhui soldiers, Miao soldiers, and Gan soldiers to all retreat to Tongzhou, take a bath and scrape the face to clean the red training military clothes, plant Tongzhou with colorful flags, and erect a new Krupp fast cannon in an obvious place, so that the Japanese children know the majesty of the Qing Dynasty.

The telegram was sent to Jizhou City, and the fast horse was sent to the camp of the Gan army in Shangcang Village, and immediately poured cold water on the men who had rushed from Urumqi all the way.

Under the excitement of the crowd, Dong Fuxiang called Tongzhou on the morning of the 13th, arrogantly saying that the first army of the Japanese was just a 'mud pinch', and it would definitely be able to 'fight a peace'.

Then the generals waited, and the telegram had just arrived, still urging them to immediately withdraw their camp and go to Tongzhou.

"Dong Junmen, it's not a bad thing to go to Tongzhou, the four armies have a total of 30,000 troops, and the Japanese soldiers are coming all the way from North Korea, and it is estimated that the strength is limited, so it is just to encircle and annihilate in one fell swoop."

For going to Tongzhou, Nie Shicheng is naturally willing, but without Dong Fuxiang's nod, he can command a sentry of personal soldiers he brought from Shanhaiguan, and he can't command these tens of thousands of Ganjun alone.

The generals in the room full of Gan Jun frowned slightly, including Dong Fuxiang, who ignored Nie Shicheng.

"Oh-"

At this time, suddenly there was a cheer from outside the house.

Dong Fuxiang said angrily to his Goshha leader, Liu Jincai: "What's the matter? You go and see what the noise is, when is it, all the nonsense! ”

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the generals were surprised, and the slightly closed door was pushed open from the outside.

"Report to the military gate, the vanguard cavalry battalion of our department, the Dadao battalion, killed two hundred and three people in a squadron of the Japanese in Da'an Village, and none of them escaped the net!"

Zhang Mingxin, the general who rushed into the house, carried a bloody cloth bag in each hand, and shouted excitedly: "We only have thirty heroes!" ”

"Bang!"

Dong Fuxiang's big hand slapped on the generous table fiercely, and he yelled with his eyes open: "Okay, what a vanguard cavalry battalion, what a big knife battalion, sure enough, I am a heroic hero!" Immediately prepare the fast horse, the old man will personally go to Jizhou City to send a telegram to report the victory! ”
