Chapter 485: The First Fortress Bombardment I

But people are like this, when they see a big blade on someone else's head to be in order to correct military law, they will generally applaud loudly; But if the blade is on your neck, it will obviously be very unhappy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

He Changying is very unhappy now.

So he didn't let Nie Shicheng drink laba porridge.

It is precisely because Nie Shicheng is a good general and a gentleman who is more public than selfish and does not hesitate to do anything for the country.

That's why He Changying used this little temper to express her unhappiness.

It's not unpleasant, not dissatisfied.

Because, for the sake of the people of the world and for the sake of China, this northern wing city must be guarded.

There must be someone for whom blood must be shed and sacrificed.

"Since the idea is back and I have caught up, then let's get on!"

He Changying let out a long sigh of depression again.

On January 5, the Japanese troops outside Shanhaiguan were still stationary.

Just build camps, build fortifications.

On the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan, the main city, Weiyuan City, and the Great Wall of Jiaoshan, the Qing army from time to time set up a Kangxi bronze and iron cannon of four or five hundred catties, and the muzzle of the cannon pointed directly to the north.

Seeing this scene, Sakurai Kuzaburo and all the artillerymen sneered at the corners of their mouths, as if they were watching a clown perform poorly on stage.

It's just that Yamaguchi Sochen and Okubo Toshisada, who saw this scene, have become not calm.

Okubo Toshisada frowned and said: "To destroy these artillery pieces on the Great Wall of the Qing army, the artillery position needs to be moved at least one more mile to the south, then the distance between the heavy artillery wing and the northern flank city becomes five miles; If there is artillery hidden in the city, the Imperial artillery will be within the effective range of this great fresh army. ”

"Are you worried about the recurrence of the tragedy in Nanguanling of the Second Army?"

Yamaguchi Suchen looked at the northern wing of the castle that was standing quietly in the south, and his expression began to become cautious.

The Tokyo Field 1st Artillery Wing of General Dashanyan's Second Army was ambushed by the despicable Qing artillery in the artillery battle of Nanguanling in southern Liaoning, and the artillery was almost completely lost.

The Second Army's fierce offensive all the way had to be stopped, and it was only by relying on the naval guns of the Combined Fleet that it finally captured Nanguanling.

And now, with the departure of the imperial fleet, the Second Army had to accept the fate of its foil in humiliation, blocking the breakthrough of tens of thousands of Qing elite soldiers in Lushun in southern Liaoning.

"Since this army is wearing the uniforms of the Korean reinforcement army, it is impossible not to guard against them from playing this hand again."

Okubo Toshisada said regretfully: "It's a pity that there is no high mountain higher than the North Wing Castle nearby, otherwise you can observe the situation inside." ”

"Report; General, this matter can be solved perfectly. ”

The captain of the fortress artillery wing, Sakurai Kuzaburo Osa, who came over not long ago, looked at the mountains and seas in the south, and said with great ambition: "We can divide an artillery squadron, move the position forward, and knock out these antique guns of the Qing army one by one, and the rest of the artillery will be silently waiting in the original position." ”

Yamaguchi Suchen glanced at Okubo Toshisada, and seeing that he also nodded in approval, he ordered: "Do so, and after the position is completed, immediately carry out the attack!" ”

"Hey!"

Sakurai Kuzaburo replied loudly: "My subordinates must let these pigs see what is the real artillery and what is the real accuracy!" ”

North Wing City.

After eating at noon, He Changying saw that the Japanese army did not look like they were going to do it today, so she decided to sleep for a while.

Now the Qing and Japanese armies are facing each other in the mountains and seas, the Qing army is guarding the city and the Great Wall, and the Japanese army is also cautiously constructing their circular positions.

Whether you attack me or I attack you, it's basically to send meat to your opponent for the New Year.

As soon as he was in a daze, Liu Mingyang, the deputy head of the regiment, came over and knocked on the door.

"What's the situation?"

Seeing Liu Mingyang coming over in person, and his face was solemn, it was obviously not an ordinary trivial matter.

"There is a change in the artillery of the Japanese army, and three guns are moving south."

"Let's go, let's see!"

Hearing Liu Mingyang's words, He Changying couldn't help but be shocked.

He Changying and Liu Mingyang hurriedly walked to the corner tower in Dongcheng, and saw Li Jingfang, Li Fengrui, Luo Huafei, and a group of generals standing on the top of the corner tower.

Relying on the condescending advantage, they held binoculars to each other to look at the three gun carriages that had just descended the hill and advanced the post road.

"The Japanese army wanted to knock out the artillery on the wall of Shanhaiguan first; Junmen, I'm going to prepare, and I must entertain these blind guys well. ”

Yesterday, the red-coated cannon made a prestige, and even his Luo Huafei's name entered thousands of households, and was written into the Governor's Mansion of Zhili and the Military Affairs Office of Tongzhou.

Maybe even the emperor can leave a little impression.

So now Luo Huafei is working hard to knock out the three guns of the Japanese army and make new contributions.

Give yourself a long face, but also give your uncle a long face, and even give Prince Alcohol a long face of the Dagu Fort, which was named the 'No. 1 coastal defense in the world'.

"How similar is this to Nanguanling? However, in Nanguanling, we concentrated forty-six artillery pieces of three artillery battalions, which was forty percent more than the Japanese army; ”

He Changying put down the binoculars and said: "There are more than them, the performance of the artillery is better than theirs, and the damage to the cannon body of the solid bullet is far better than that of the grenade shotgun; And we're the last strikers! ”

The officers of the anti-Japanese army on one side all understood. Only Li Jingfang and Luo Huafei were still at a loss.

"Tell the cities that the Japanese are going to bombard the artillery at the head of the city; Don't expose the six Krupp mountain cannons in the city, they are all scattered, at least today there will be no wasted shells to bombard the northern wing of the city. ”

He Changying was depressed and just wanted to sleep.

"Sentry Commander Luo, you will understand when you look at the accuracy of the Japanese artillery; You opened fire here, and before you could reach the side of the three Japanese guns, thirteen guns over there blew up. ”

Seeing that Luo Huafei was still unconvinced, Liu Mingyang said with a smile: "I also know that Luo Junmen has trained artillery elites in Dagu over the years, but you are running, others are not idle, and the most important thing isβ€”β€”"

Liu Mingyang shook his head and sighed and said, "People can beat you, but you can't beat people." ”

Hearing Liu Mingyang say this, Luo Huafei was immediately deflated and stood silently on the top of the corner tower.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the three artillery pieces of the Japanese army were arranged on the slope of Yao Mountain, six miles north of Shanhaiguan City and four miles north of the North Wing City.

Two hundred meters in front of the Japanese artillery squadron on the slope of Yaoshan was the defense area of the 16th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, which did not give the Qing army any possibility of breaking through at all.

"Report to the captain, the artillery is ready, please give the order."

Squadron Leader Hideyoshi Kusuyama, standing in front of the second group leader Shinroku Kondo, asked for an attack order.

"Clear those small cannons on the Great Wall first, the three bronze cannons in Dongluo City, and finally clear them; Let's attack. ”

With a faint smile on the corner of Kondo's mouth, he looked at the Shanhaiguan city wall six miles away, in addition to the eleven earthen cannons, countless flags of various colors, and dense Qing soldiers.

The Great Wall of Shanhaiguan, the north wall of the main city.

Today, the generals in the Guannei all went to the Yuguan Camp in Yongping Prefecture, 20 miles south of Shanhaiguan, to discuss the arrangements for the training of the 46th Battalion in Xiangchu, which will soon go north, and the distribution of the 600 quick-sharpness guns that had just been released to the Shanhaiguan Camp Office.

Therefore, the only people left behind in Shanhaiguan were Bai Ji, who was not short of guns, and Wang Liansan, who knew that he would never be able to get a gun this time.

After hearing the warning from the North Wing City, the soldiers who had given the warning in the past were not only ridiculed by the various armies in Guancheng as 'fearing the enemy like rats', but also aroused the interest of the various armies in Guancheng.

Including the soldiers of Weiyuan City of Jiaoshan Great Wall and Huanxiling Great Wall, the sentry commander, the battalion officer, as well as Bai Ji and Wang Liansan, all ran to the main city of Shanhaiguan.

It is to see how the three cannons in the mouth of the anti-Japanese army, separated by a distance of six miles, come to bombard the red-coated cannons at the head of the city.

"If you can stop it, Lao Tzu will go down and swallow the smoke paste."

A flag soldier who had just smoked a big cigarette was full of disdain.
