Chapter 390: Fat Military Division
At 7:35, when the battle in Jijiatun was in full swing, Mao Chao finally led the pursuers belatedly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
When the Japanese cavalry saw the arrival of a large number of Qing reinforcements, they immediately forced a breakthrough from the junction of Pan Jinshan and Jiang Muchen's defense area with their horsepower, leaving behind about 50 corpses and fleeing towards Fuzhou Avenue.
At 8:30 a.m., the Japanese army attacked the Jinzhou front line for nearly 3 hours, and then took the initiative to withdraw from the battle.
This battle, which seemed a little inexplicable to He Changying, although all units of the anti-Japanese army had withstood the test of war, the casualties were very staggering.
The Taishan artillery position and the Jinzhou City Tower had already finished all the shells, and the anxious He Changying ordered Wang Shizhen to immediately transport 5,000 shells from Dalian Bay for emergency.
Wu Weiyang's troops fought repeatedly on the Maqiaozi front, and Xikuanerlang's second brigade around Yanxitun and Sunjiagou, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
The 1st Wing of the Japanese Army, under the command of Nogi Noshinori, tried to break through from the junction of Chenjiatun and Maqiaozi, but was blocked by Qu Desheng.
At the critical moment when the Japanese army was about to break through forcibly, Qu Desheng led his original cavalry team of the Sheng Army, wielding a broadsword to confront the Japanese army who rushed over.
More than twenty soldiers of the pro-army team were killed in the white-knuckle battle, and finally repelled Nogi Noshinori's attack.
And Qu Desheng's left thigh was also pierced by Japanese soldiers with military thorns.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese cavalry bypassed the defense line of the reinforcement army and returned to the Japanese North Road Camp on Fuzhou Avenue, Xiaoyanjialou.
So far, the Japanese army used the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and perfectly realized the rescue of the cavalry brigade.
The war in Jinzhou was temporarily suspended, forming a line of Sanli Village, Chenjiatun, and Maqiaozi, and the Qing and Japanese sides were clearly distinguished.
"Jinzhou, Dalian, there are 621 imitation fast rifles, 70 German-made Mauser single-shot rifles, and 31 British-made repeating Mauser rifles;"
"On the coast, there are 129 cannons, including 6 Gatling machine guns, 63 heavy cannons of Monk Island, Lao Longtou, and Xujiashan cannot be disassembled and transported, and the explosives of Lao Longtou have been prepared, and the heavy artillery has been destroyed when the Huaizi Army of Xujiashan has withdrawn; The Gong Guard artillery battalion now defends Monk Island and refuses to bomb artillery. β
"2,460,000 shells, 33,810,000 bullets, more than 2,000 stones of grain, 3,210 bales of riceβ"
"Coax-"
In Peng Qianyan's report, he heard that there were so many shells and bullets stored in Dalian Bay, and there was an uproar in the war room.
"If this is ceded to the Japanese people, they will not have to transport bullets and shells from the country; Zhao Huaiye, he should be damned! β
Jiang Zikang blushed and roared when he heard it.
"Commander-in-chief, with only our manpower, it is difficult for these shells and bullets to be transported back to Lushun."
Shen Zhaoao frowned and said: "Although the two places are less than a hundred miles, and Nanguanling also has the same wide post road, there are too many ammunition. β
"If you can't take it away, it's going to be fried, otherwise these are the dishes of the Japanese army!"
Lu Shuncheng said in a low voice: "With so many shells, Jinzhou and Dalian can't collect a hundred carriages, and it is impossible to complete it in such a short time." β
"This shell is not only for the army but also for the navy, and seventy percent of the shells of the Beiyang Naval Division are stored in Dalian Bay, and they are all one tael of silver and one tael of silver, and the hard-earned money of the people;"
He Changying rubbed his head with a headache: "The Sheng Army Artillery Battalion will immediately take over the Laolongdao Fort, the sappers will continue to build the Nanguanling defense line, and the rest of the army will all come to Jinzhou to defend; Qu Decheng -- Can your legs still fight? β
He Changying tilted his head and asked Qu Decheng.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, there is no problem at all in killing the Japanese army."
Qu Decheng stood up straight, his body trembled slightly, and he probably touched the knife wound.
"Sit down; Qu Decheng succeeded Mao Chao as the head of the cavalry regiment, and Lu Tiejiao served as the deputy commander of the cavalry regiment; Mao Chao was transferred to Huaizijun,-"
He Changying looked at Jiang Zikang again: "Jiang Junmen, I have given the order, don't regret it afterwards, wronged me for swallowing your soldiers." β
"Little bunny, you talk a lot!"
Jiang Zikang said with a smile.
A few days ago, after Jiang Zikang finally became the chief soldier he had dreamed of for many years, he already felt that he had no regrets about being an official.
He himself is an easy-going man who does not have much ambition.
If it weren't for the fact that the war was tight, Jiang Zikang, who had become famous at this time, would even have hung up his crown and gone home to enjoy the beautiful life of his wife and children.
Especially last night, in the case of Li Hongzhang's downfall, He Changying still did not shy away from the intentions of the court and the emperor, and strongly supported Li Hongzhang, Jiang Zikang felt that he was really too eye-catching before.
He Changying, a young man who can send charcoal in the snow and has responsibility, is indeed his niece's son-in-law.
Even if you put this layer aside, He Changying is also the son of her cousin, isn't she?
Therefore, after the battle this morning, Jiang Zikang decided to hand over the battalion under the personal command of the Renzi Army himself, as well as the battalion of Yin Desheng, to He Changying.
The remaining two battalions continued to act as coalition forces.
Seeing Jiang Zikang say this, although He Changying still didn't ask why this old man was so tolerant of him, he privately guessed that the relationship between the two families was definitely not ordinary.
Otherwise, he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he actually became a sentry officer of the deputy battalion of the Renzi Army within two years of coming to Jinmen?
You must know that his sworn brother Fang Boyuan relied on Xue Yingchun's beauty to attract Lu Tiejiao, a pervert, and he just got a shed chief.
"Mao Chao was transferred to the Huaizi Army, the commander of the Renzi Army, and Yin Desheng was the deputy commander; The Huaizi Army and the Renzi Army were reorganized into battalions, companies and platoons, and the General Staff Department was responsible for operation; Judge General, clerk, field doctor, and various departments took the initiative to follow up and enter the battalion company; You recommend and report candidates at the battalion and company level, and you can confirm them at the squad and platoon level. β
With He Changying's words, all the generals were happy, as long as the restructuring was completed, then the anti-Japanese army immediately used more than 2,000 troops in 4 battalions.
Not counting the Jinmen Military Station, Shuifeng, the Korean army in Anzhou, and the anti-Japanese army in Jinzhou and Dalian, the total strength has reached more than 12,000 people.
"Commander-in-chief, I am responsible for today's battle, and I am the commander of this coalition army."
Hearing that He Changying did not let himself lead Niu Bi's cavalry regiment, but went to lead a group of miscellaneous soldiers, Mao Chao was in a mood at that time.
"You don't have any responsibility for today's battle, the plan set by the staff is to demand strict implementation, not how I think it's right to do it!"
He Changying first gave Mao Chao a sentence to lead his troops to fight the air, and then asked Mao Chao: "Who do you think is more suitable to be the head of the cavalry regiment, you and Qu Decheng?" β
"I'm not as good as him."
Hearing He Changying ask this, Mao Chao had to tell the truth that he couldn't win Qu Decheng, this fierce man who seemed to be born to ride a horse.
"Brother Mao, don't complain; Brother He, no, no, commander-in-chief, what do you think I can do? β
Zhao Liuhong, who was sitting on the side, was in a hurry, looking at He Changying with blank eyes, thinking that you Mao Chao was not satisfied with the mutiny of one thousand and two thousand, and he was pitiful that he had fallen into the gap, what should I do.
"Nominally, you are still the commander of these two battalions, but you can't fight, it's almost 200 pounds, right?"
"Well, in the early 200s."
Zhao Fatzi honestly admitted.
"War horses can crush you to death; You nominally continue to be the commander of the Huaizi Army, and if the Huaizi Army has military merits, you are indispensable, so be my military advisor by my side. β
He Changying lit a cigarette and said with a smile.
"Huh?"
Don't talk about Zhao Fatzi, a room full of generals are dumbfounded.
