It may be because of the sea, the fog on the surface of the river in the sub-section of the Shahe River is far less thick than that upstream, just like a faint green smoke, floating on the bank of the river. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Okuyama Yoshisho stood by the river, looking at Andong County quietly in the morning light with a serious face, his mouth full of bitterness.

With regard to the combat strength of the Sheng Army on the other side, in the several battles for Pyongyang's Funabashi Heavy Fort, the entire 9th Brigade, including Ta Okuyama Yoshizhang, had an unforgettable and painful experience.

Now facing the six or seven thousand strong soldiers of the Sheng army on the other side, pointing at his more than 1,000 troops, he used these eight small fishing boats of different sizes to forcibly cross the river in stages.

In Okuyama's view, this is no different from sending him to death.

However, in order to cooperate with the actions of the main force upstream, the commander of the mountain county has already issued a death order to cross the river and attack at all costs, and for the sake of the overall situation, Okuyama Yoshisho has to be ready to die.

"Warriors of the Empire, your deeds will be widely spread in the country, and your families will be proud of you; All for the Empire! ”

Standing by the river, Okuyama Yoshisho gave his final encouragement to the 115 'warriors' who voluntarily crossed the river to die with a white cloth with chicken blood written on their heads.

"All for the Empire!"

One hundred and fifteen Oriental soldiers, who had beaten like chicken blood, raised their right hands high, and then rushed to the fishing boat.

Immediately, these eight fishing boats of different sizes, in the prayers of the Japanese army, rowed hard towards the right side of the river in the boiling water.

However, until the eight fishing boats rowed to the right bank of the river, Shahezi, two miles from the shore, was quiet, the city gate was closed, and not even a single head appeared on the city wall.

Not to mention an attack.

These 115 Japanese soldiers who did not die in the catastrophe came ashore one by one as if they were sleepwalking, lying in the dry grass of the river embankment, surprised and confused, and did not dare to make a sound to look at the county town of Andong with the city gate closed.

Then, the eighteen Japanese soldiers rowed back to the opposite bank, and the remaining ninety-seven Japanese soldiers all maintained absolute silence, and in the sound of the rushing river, they honestly lay on the riverside, not daring to move.

"Captain, what's going on, the six or seven thousand people of the Sheng army actually watched us cross the river without attacking?"

Captain Masatsugu Inoue, squadron leader of the 3rd Brigade of the 21st Wing, looked at the strange situation on the other side of the river, with a confused face.

"They're waiting," Yoshiaki Okuyama's face twisted with hideousness, "Sheng Jun has such a big appetite!" ”

"Captain, are you saying that these Qing troops are deliberately letting the imperial army cross the river? These pigs are simply arrogant and arrogant! ”

The 12th Squadron Leader, Captain Suyama, looked shocked.

"Otherwise, how can we explain that the six or seven thousand Qing troops on the other side of the river did not move, watching these more than 100 imperial warriors cross the river safely? They were going to wait for us all to cross the river, and then close the door and beat the dogs; ”

Okuyama Yoshiaki said in a resolute and bitter voice: "All for the empire! ”

The Shahezi section of the Yalu River is wide, and it takes two hours for eight small boats to go back and forth, and every time they go back and forth, the rowing soldiers are almost exhausted.

Throughout the day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining, and there was no one on either side of the river except for the Japanese troops who had gathered to cross the river.

This strange atmosphere also affected every Japanese soldier, even if they crossed the river safely, there was no trace of excitement in everyone's eyes, but there was a faint fear of falling into the beast's den.

When the sun set and the stars climbed into the sky, the Japanese army barely transported three squadrons and more than 600 troops towards Jiangyou.

Okuyama Yoshisho crossed the river with the last ferryboats, and after arriving at the right bank of the Yalu River, he hesitated a little and ordered the troop movement to stop tonight.

He also ordered the fishing boats to anchor on the river bank without returning to the sea, and wait for tomorrow dawn to return to the river to transport troops.

Moreover, the soldiers crossing the river had to stay on guard all night above the blocking front with their guns and ammunition, just in case.

North Jiuli, Andong County, Langtou Town.

Jiang Zikang, Pan Jinshan, He Changying, Wu Weiyang, Lin Yunyu, Rongxi, the magistrate of Andong County, a group of people stood in the night by the river, overlooking the dark county seat of Andong downstream.

"Newspaper—"

At this time, a fast horse galloped over, and immediately jumped off the war horse and knelt down to say: "Report to the general, the Japanese have suspended the crossing of the river, and the fishing boats have stopped on the right bank and have not returned. ”

"What are the movements of the Sheng Army?"

Jiang Zikang asked in a deep voice.

"The three gates of Andong County are closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and the city is empty."

"This Lu Benyuan, Sun Xianyin, what do they want to do?"

Jiang Zikang said angrily: "The 6,000 army, right under their noses, let hundreds of Japanese people cross the river for a whole day!" ”

Everyone around them was silent.

The reason is very simple, everyone knows it, but no one wants to say it.

"Jiang Junmen, now that you are the assistant of Andong County, you have to make an idea about this matter, and you can't let the Japanese rebel anymore."

The magistrate of Andong County, the magistrate of Andong County, Rongxi Rongxi, looked at Jiang Zikang with his eyes.

"What should I do?"

After listening to the words of Rongxi, the magistrate of Andong County, Jiang Zikang turned his head to look at He Changying and asked.

Since Song Qing's order came down yesterday, Jiang Zikang was so angry that he scolded his mother.

The tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers at the entrance of this garden are about to fight, didn't Song Qing, an old thing, obviously let him come to the top post?

The Feng army couldn't even move Nie Guilin, and the Sheng army was scattered in Andong City, and there were 300 veterans in his Renzi army, and the rest were all new soldiers.

It is that the reinforcement army is sharp, but now the main force of the reinforcement army is still in the upper reaches of Jiuliancheng, and there is only one company here, and I don't know where to go in the past two days.

What to use against the tens of thousands of Japanese troops?

Jiang Zikang sighed for a long time and was depressed until this morning, and he was frightened to hear the downstream Japanese bombardment of the city.

Then it didn't take long for Rongxi, the magistrate of Andong County, to bring a group of officials to ask for troops, saying that there were Japanese soldiers on the river, but the heads of the battalions of the Sheng army in the city were infighting, and they were reluctant to send troops because of the prevarication.

Lu Benyuan and Sun Xianyin didn't know where to hide.

When Jiang Zikang heard that there were only eight small fishing boats crossing the river, he gritted his teeth and prepared to lead 2,000 soldiers to the riverside to shoot and intercept them.

As a result, the vanguard of the Korean reinforcement army suddenly arrived, which made Jiang Zikang suddenly overjoyed, and kicked this matter to He Changying.

After that, the reinforcement army, the Renzi army, quietly assembled in Langtou Town to rest and wait.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the team of soldiers who were killed and wounded arrived in Langtou Town, and a team of Nie Guilin's personal soldiers came over at the same time.

The news brought by Nie Guilin's personal soldiers was that the battle in the upper reaches had ended, the Yi Army, the Ming Army, the Wu Yi Army, and all the armies were nowhere to be seen.

In order to prevent being surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese people, the Feng army will retreat directly to Phoenix.

After listening to Nie Guilin's personal soldiers, Jiang Zikang was shocked and angry, and immediately roared angrily.

Nie Guilin was obviously afraid of being left in Andong to defend against the Japanese, so he came to the bottom of the kettle and slipped away.

Pan Jinshan, who was next to him, heard the bad news, and immediately turned white, and persuaded Jiang Zikang to immediately retreat to Phoenix City, and said that if he hesitated a little, he might be in the danger of a three-sided attack by tens of thousands of troops at the mouth of the garden, Jiulian City, and Yongchuan on the other side.

Jiang Zikang, who was in chaos, had to find He Changying to ask for a plan, and was appeased by He Changying, and waited until the current night.
