More than 1,200 people of the 13th Brigade of the 13th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army were all wiped out, and the captain of the brigade, Watanabe Shosa, was killed with a bayonet.

The 2nd Brigade was annihilated 688 people, and the captain of the brigade, Yoshimasa Kamada, fell into the sea with a shelling and died in the head of the ice.

More than 253 people from the headquarters of the 6th Cavalry Brigade and the 2nd Squadron escaped only about 30 cavalry (in the following days, they were all killed by angry villagers on the way to escape), and the captain Suzuki Shoroku was torn apart by Green's shelling.

Major General Yasumi Terra, commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade, was hit by a cannon and froze to death on the way to escape from the Saikyo Maru!

The Navy's Saikyo Maru, an armed merchant ship, was shot and sank, killing more than 50 Navy and Army soldiers on the same ship, and the captain of the ship, Yuyuki Kano, died.

The total number of Japanese casualties was nearly 2,200, including 1 major general, 4 major generals, and countless lieutenants died.

The Jinmen Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Army suffered 583 killed and 69 seriously wounded, and the Bian Changsheng Battalion killed 41 and seriously wounded 6.

Shen Zengjia, the deputy commander of the 2nd Regiment of the Jinmen Brigade, died bravely.

In its battle, the Qing army won a great victory!

The golden sun spreads on the green wheat fields of the Tang River estuary, the golden sandy beaches, the white and frozen river shores, and the turquoise waters.

The mixed ship group of the Japanese Combined Fleet had all retreated 2 kilometers south, out of the effective range of the Qing army's land and shore field artillery.

The main force of the Jinmen Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Army also withdrew north to the blind spot of the Japanese army's field of vision.

Only a battalion of infantry and a team of field doctors, as well as the statistics soldiers of the logistics department and the clerical bureau, were sent to return to the coastal battlefield under the supervision of Li Yuanyang, the military law chief of the brigade headquarters, to carry out the registration of the settlement and the treatment of the remaining wounded.

Liu Gangzhi, Nie Pengcheng, Shi Weicheng, Cao Yitao, Wei Jiaxun, Yang Guang,——

A group of officers of the Jinmen Brigade stood on a barley field in Huangtuobo Village, which was now filled with the remains of anti-Japanese soldiers.

The bodies were carried down the battlefield by brave soldiers during the shelling, and the bodies of some soldiers will be transported over the southern coast, in the wheat fields.

Shen Zengjia, deputy commander of the 2nd Regiment of the Jinmen Brigade, also lay there quietly.

And Shen Zengjia's old partner Nie Pengcheng, sitting on the land next to him, already had red eyes.

Second Lieutenant Li Yuan, former captain of the engineer corps of the Korean Aid Army, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Guangyan, captain of the Sino-Korean Anti-Japanese Brigade, and Lieutenant Hu Kuifang, deputy company commander of the 3rd Company of Li Fengrui's Battalion of the Shanhaiguan Regiment of the former Anti-Japanese Army,——

Captain Kong Benli, battalion-level officer of the Shanhaiguan Regiment, and Captain Zou Qingwang——

Major Yang Dongquan, battalion-level officer of the Lushun Regiment, and Captain Shui Zhiqian,——

Shen Zengjia, deputy commander of the regimental major of the Jinmen brigade, Captain Wu Dongke, commander of the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment, Captain Ma Yuxi, deputy commander of the 3rd Battalion, and Second Lieutenant Tao Haoquan, the lecturer——

For the sake of this battle of national fortunes between China and the East, for the sake of this vast and fertile hot land not to be encroached upon, and for the sake of not being enslaved by our Chinese people who have multiplied on this hot land for generations.

There have been too many sons and daughters of China, iron-clad men of the anti-Japanese army, who have shed blood and sacrificed without regrets.

"The blood that has been shed—"

Liu Gangzhi pulled his throat and shouted: "Follow the commander-in-chief, one day you will have to get it back a hundred times and slaughter all the dogs in the world!" ”

"Follow the commander-in-chief and slaughter all the dogs in the world!"

"Follow the commander-in-chief and slaughter all the dogs in the world!"

"Follow the commander-in-chief and slaughter all the dogs in the world!" ——

The entire Huangtuobo Village is surging with a roar like mountains and seas!

"Woo-"

The wind blows the reeds and emits a low whimper, as if to speak of the fragility of life, the brutality of the enemy, and the great and unyielding resistance of the defenders of this country.

On the sea, the Japanese Combined Fleet mixed ship group.

Flagship Matsushima.

"As a soldier, the battlefield of death and death—"

When he said the words 'battle death and killing field', Prince Akihito Komatsumiya's face couldn't help but show a blush, and continued to say coldly: "-It's their glory!" This day is the top of the tomb, and the beach and the sea are the cemetery, which is the best place for the children of the empire! ”

"Governor, there are now only 21 small boats on all the ships, and if they land, they must collect the small boats of the coastal ice belt; However, many of the boats have been overturned by the waves. ”

Ito didn't say it too clearly, but everyone around him understood what he meant.

The idiotic order given by the stupid Kamada Yoshimasa to land with all the soldiers not only caused the 2nd Brigade to drown 172 more infantry in vain, but also left all the landing boats on the coastal ice line.

Although the 86 small boats have weathered the bombardment and high waves, at least 60 or so are still in good condition.

Now, if you want to recapture the boats, you can only send the remaining sampans over and bring them back one by one.

But how could the Qing army on the shore let their idea succeed, and if they didn't make a random bombardment by land artillery, the remaining boats would not be able to come back.

However, there were no large number of sampans to land at the same time, and the 21 ships could only carry 126 people at a time (8 people on board, 6 people on board, and 2 people on rowing), which was like a refueling landing.

It is estimated that he can be laughed to death by the Qing army on the shore as a fool.

Then it's easy to eat it in batches.

"The troops abandoned the landing ,—— at the mouth of the Don River"

Prince Akihito Komatsumiya's gaze was cast on the stretching continent to the west, and he said in a deep voice: "According to the time, the 1st Army should have arrived in Tongzhou, and Kuroki Weizhen doesn't know how it is going; In any case, the Imperial 11 Brigade must not be a burden, if not a help! ”

The generals blushed.

With more than 2,000 soldiers, a major general, and the sunken Xijing Maru, this failed landing battle is expected to be transmitted to Jinmen tomorrow at the latest, and then the Qing Dynasty, the Empire, and the Westerners will all know.

What unpredictable variables will this bring to the Empire's negotiations?

Just think about it, Ito Hyungyou, these generals are full of torment.

"Governor, if you don't want to rely on a sampan to land at this time, your subordinates propose to march south to continue to attack the Qing army's Dagu Fort, and then use artillery fire to blow up a shore ice road, and the transport ship will directly dock at the Dagu Wharf."

After listening to Ito's proposal, the admirals on the bridge were a little moved, and this seemed to be the only way.

"There are a large number of Qing troops wearing Western-style military uniforms in Dagu Fort, and there are also Qing troops in Beitang Fort, and now there are only Qing troops here, no less than 5,000 people, and there are more than a dozen new rapid-fire guns, and the shells are also Western high-explosive shells;"

The chief of staff of the Combined Fleet, Dewa Shigeyuan, said in a condensed voice: "Then it means that the new-style Qing army in Shanhaiguan did not go to Yanjing, but was stationed in the area around the sea in Jinmen. ”

Deyu Shigeyuan's words caused the Japanese generals to ponder.

The 11th Brigade, which now has only 6,000 troops left, although it still has a strong combat capability, but against the new-style Qing army, which is estimated to have tens of thousands of troops, it still has to occupy the fort and attack Jinmen, and there will be 300 miles of troops in the future.

The army is clearly too weak.

"The troops do not go to Tanggu and Jinmen; ——There are a large number of foreigners' industries in these two places, and there are also foreign soldiers stationed in the purple bamboo forest in Jinmen, which is simply a quagmire! ”

Prince Akihito Komatsumiya deliberately avoided the topic that everyone knew and made people blush, and that there were still a large number of anti-Japanese troops stationed in Jintanggu, but chose to use foreigners to cover up the ugliness.

After thinking about it, he resolutely ordered: "The fleet will go to Dongying Wharf in Laizhou Bay to land, and in Dongying Port, where the Qing army is empty, the transport ship can directly dock at the wharf." ”

"Dongying?"

Ito Henyoke, Oku Baogong and a group of other Japanese generals were all surprised.

Dongying Port is about 300 miles southwest of the mouth of the Tang River, and if it lands there, the distance to Yanjing will be more than 600 miles in a straight line, and then there will be a detour along the way, during which there will be various unpredictable Qing army harassment.

Isn't it going to spring when the flowers are blooming, and the peaches and plums are fragrant?
