Chapter 1171: Advancing into Pyongyang
Lin Xiao on the side saw Cai Yi's brows furrowed, and hurriedly asked, "Songpo, what's going on, what did the chief say?" ”
Cai Ye said in a deep voice: "The commander-in-chief ordered the first cavalry division to march at full speed, feint to attack Pyongyang, and then move south at a rapid pace, what kind of medicine is this selling......"
Lin Xiao was also a little confused, and said, "Okay, don't think about it, how can the deployment of the chief be measured casually by those of us?" Acting according to the Chief's plan is that there is no room for error. ”
Cai Yi nodded and said: "Okay, order Zhang Yan to immediately lead the First Cavalry Division to turn around, approach Pyongyang with all his might, and feint to attack Pyongyang, which is only seventy or eighty miles away from Pyongyang, I am afraid that it will not take too long to ......."
Before Cai Ye finished speaking, he slapped his head and shouted: "Ah, it's amazing, I understand, I understand the chief's intentions!" ”
Lin Xiao hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Cai Yi replied: "It's very simple, let's eat the 17th Division cleanly, the current Kodama Gentaro is still buried in the dark, the commander-in-chief is under pressure, if we want to attack Pyongyang first, it is to follow the mouth of the Pyongyang defenders, send a signal to Kodama Gentaro, we have already killed him, tell him to be careful behind, Kodama Gentaro got the news that we annihilated the 17th Division, do you think he can still sit still?" Dare to continue the siege of the commander-in-chief? ”
Lin Xiao was stunned, and then nodded, Cai Yi's analysis still has a certain truth.
Cai Yi ordered: "Let Zhang Yan act immediately, not only to act, but also to act with great fanfare, so that the defenders of Pyongyang can get accurate information!" Kodama, haha, it's uncomfortable for Kodama now! ”
Zhang Yan, who received the order, immediately turned his horse's head and galloped towards Pyongyang, while the third and fourth divisions continued to approach in the direction of Kaesong, after all, there were still more than 300 miles away from Kaesong, and it would take at least two days to reach the battlefield.
In less than two hours, before it was early in the morning, Zhang Yan's army had already arrived at the city of Pyongyang. After arriving at the city, Zhang Yan didn't say a word, he thought that Pyongyang had launched a fierce attack, and gave the Japanese army a dismount first!
When the Japanese army was asleep, the sound of Zhang Yan's cavalry division's wild horse hooves came from afar, is this an earthquake?
One by one, the Japanese soldiers who were sleeping were awakened, and the commander of the Japanese garrison, Wing Commander Edahashi. I was even more taken aback, there was also an earthquake in Pyongyang?
Wrong! Definitely not an earthquake. It's the sound of horses' hooves!
The captain of the Zhiqiao Wing was shocked, this, at least tens of thousands of cavalry can cause such a big movement!
The Japanese army does not have so many cavalry in Korea, could it be that the Chinese Revolutionary Army has crossed the Yalu River, this is too child's play, there is at least one division of the Japanese army on the banks of the Yalu River! Even if the 17th Division is weak, it won't be defeated by the Chinese Revolutionary Army so quickly, right?
However, the current captain of the Edabashi Wing did not dare to hesitate at all, jumped up from the bed, and shouted, "Someone." What is the situation outside, immediately check if there is an enemy situation? ”
As soon as Captain Zhiqiao's words fell, the sound of guns and cannons outside came.
Captain Zhiqiao's face changed greatly, he was broken, what were he afraid of, it was really the Chinese Revolutionary Army that raided Pyongyang!
As soon as the captain of the Edabashi Wing stood outside the door, the staff officer on duty rushed in. shouted: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, no, a large number of cavalry has suddenly arrived outside Pyongyang and wants to besiege Pyongyang!" ”
The captain of the Zhiqiao Wing turned dark and asked, "How many people are there on the other side?" ”
The staff officer hurriedly said: "There are too many, at least more than 10,000 cavalry!" ”
Captain Edabashi's head buzzed. There are more than 10,000 cavalry, and the whole of Pyongyang is now only 1,000 Japanese troops, how can it be defended?
Captain Zhiqiao shouted, "Where did this cavalry come from? Why didn't we have any news before! ”
The staff officer said abruptly: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, this cavalry is very arrogant, they themselves have said that it is the Chinese Revolutionary Army in Fengtian. The 17th Division has been completely annihilated in one fell swoop, and we are asked to surrender in Kaecheng, so as not to burn the jade......"
Wing Commander Zhiqiao River Channel: "Quick, immediately send an urgent telegram to Commander Gentaro Kodama that the Yalu River has been lost, the 17th Division has been besieged and annihilated, and the army is besieging tens of thousands of cavalry to besiege Pyongyang, please send troops to help immediately!" Order, all the soldiers, all climb the city, strictly guard to the death, must be resisted by Lao Tzu, otherwise none of us will survive! ”
Kaejo, Kodama Gentaro has not rested at this time, facing the first general of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, how can he not be nervous, this is the most critical time, no one dares to take it lightly.
Just as he was thinking hard about the best way to defeat the enemy, the communications staff officer on the side hurriedly ran in and shouted: "Your Excellency Commander, Pyongyang is in an emergency!" ”
Kodama Gentaro's heart jumped, at this time, how could Pyongyang send an urgent call to himself?
Gentaro Kodama shouted, "Read! ”
The staff officer replied: "Wing Commander Zhiqiao reports that the Chinese Revolutionary Army on the west bank of the Yalu River has broken through the defense line of the Yalu River, and the 17th Division may have been completely annihilated, and now the city of Pyongyang is being besieged by tens of thousands of cavalry of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, requesting urgent support!" ”
Yes!
Kodama Gentaro's face changed greatly, it's only been more than three days, less than four days, damn the 17th Division, damn Mingchuan Cangxiong, damn the Chinese Revolutionary Army! How did you decide the winner so quickly!
Kodama Gentaro hurriedly came to the map, looking at the map on the wall, Kodama was full of bitterness, from Sinuiju to Kaesong, less than four hundred miles away, if the Chinese Revolutionary Army marched with all its might, I was afraid that it would take only four days to reach Kaesong, and four days, if it was a cavalry, I was afraid that it would only take two days to reach Kaesong! Two days, two days!
In front of him are the two elite main divisions of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and there is also that Xu Huaijin personally commanding, even if he personally leads the troops to besiege him, it is impossible to encircle and annihilate the Chinese Revolutionary Army in just a few days! At that time, I will face the fate of being attacked on my back!
Run?
Now he is leading the main force of the four divisions and regiments, fleeing towards Linqing, and he doesn't have to return to the empire alive, the dignified commander, he is about to run away before the decisive battle starts, and he can't afford to lose that person!
Beat?
It is obvious that now the Japanese army is already in a very disadvantageous situation, and it will definitely not be able to fight!
How can this be good, the anxious Kodama Gentaro forced himself to calm down and think about how to deal with it, now it seems that Pyongyang absolutely can't take care of it, and he can only ensure that the main force of these four divisions will not be encircled and annihilated by the Chinese Revolutionary Army.
Kodama Gentaro said slowly: "Order, the fifteenth division and the eighteenth division in the middle immediately retreat thirty miles north to protect our back, and order the twentieth division on the right to immediately move closer to the left, ready to launch a battle against Xu Huaijin's division of the Chinese Revolutionary Army at any time!"
