In the early morning of September 14, on the Datong River where the mist was rising, the headquarters of the Japanese Fifth Division downstream and the Korean reinforcement army upstream began to cross the river almost simultaneously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the same time, the Wonsan detachment stationed at Shun'an-post decided that the first squadron of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade would stay at Shun'an-post for early warning, and the rest of the troops would move to the Kanbuksan heights north of Pyongyang, and together with the Limi Sangwen Division, they would jointly attack the northern defense line of the Qing army.

In Suzhou, which is 40 miles north of Shun'anyi, since getting the news of the fall of Shun'anyi, the battalion officers of the Sheng Army, the Yi Army, the Feng Army, the Luyu Defense Army, and the Renzi Army have also learned the fine tradition of their marshals, and they have been arguing until midnight, and they have not come up with a charter.

In the end, the battalion officers compromised, and while closing the city gate and guarding it tightly, they sent cavalry squads to Anju to deliver a message, pointing to the Anju Telegraph Office to ask the adults in Pyongyang for advice.

After the whole army of the Korean reinforcement army crossed the right side of the Datong River, under the guidance of Kim Yongjun's living map, they immediately passed through the nose of the northern line guard post of the Shuoning detachment of the Japanese army.

Then all the way to the north, in the mountains and mountains, along the sheep intestine path taken by the locals, towards Shun'an, forty miles away.

Shun'an post south of five miles, python mouth.

Wu Weiyang, Duan Xiongbo and a few people were lying on the mountain ridge in the north mouth of the python mouth, watching from a distance as the Japanese army marched south along both sides of the merged river.

The surface of this merged river is clear and shallow, and it can be waded through, and the upstream is the Jianlong Reservoir, which is about 10 miles north of Sunanyi, and then goes south through Shunanyi, and finally flows into the Taedong River 10 miles north of Pyongyang.

Wu Weiyang and the others patiently lay in the bushes on the top of the mountain, watching the Japanese infantry and the artillery passing by the python mouth, gradually disappearing in the south, before standing up.

"Twenty-three artillery pieces, no less than 5,000 troops, the cavalry did not appear, it should be left in Shun'an Post as an early warning force."

Wu Weiyang took out his pocket watch and glanced at it: "It's a quarter past nine, and at twelve o'clock at noon, barricades will be set up to seal off both sides of the merged river, and a single Japanese soldier must not be spared to escape!" ”

"Put three Grimm guns in the middle of the road and cover them with pine branches, so that nothing goes wrong."

Deputy company commander Duan Xiongbo added.

Wu Weiyang thought for a while, nodded and said: "The Green Cannon can be set up, but we don't have many machine gun bullets, you give an explanation to the artillery squad, and don't shoot easily if it's not necessary." ”

"Yes,"

Duan Xiongbo looked at Shun'an Station, which was five miles away, and said with confidence: "Last time, our cavalry company didn't catch up with Dongxian Ridge, this time we must leave all the Japanese troops in our position!" ”

Near noon, more than 700 people of the Korean Reinforcement Army marched all the way, and finally arrived at the hillside on the southeast outskirts of Shun'an Station and lurked.

He Changying led a group of officers to lie on the top of the hillside, looking at the Japanese soldiers below the mountain who were chattering and laughing, lighting the fire and cooking.

On the tethered horse piles around the Shun'an post stable, more than 200 war horses were densely tied, and some Japanese soldiers were feeding the war horses forage bean cakes.

"It should be a cavalry squadron, about two hundred people."

Shen Zhaoao leaned on He Changying's side and whispered, "Now they are cooking, which is just right for a raid." ”

"Let them eat a full meal before they die, and be a full ghost;"

He Changying said with a smile: "Haven't you heard a saying called 'the hungrier you are, the more energetic'? When they are all fed and the people are sleepy, it is the most favorable time for us. ”

He Changying lay on the hillside and looked at the smoke below, and then began to give orders: "The first and second companies will go around to the post road by the river north of Shun'an Station, and launch an attack as soon as everything is ready; When the rest of the divisions heard the gunfire from the north, they waited for five minutes and immediately attacked the entire hillside to drive the Japanese army north; This battle—"

He Changying paused for a moment and said: "From now on, before arriving in Yizhou, do not take prisoners in all battles; After the battle, Shun'an Station gathered the corpses of the Japanese soldiers and asked John to take a few more photos as evidence. ”

"My emperor has been passed down for a thousand generations,

It has been passed down to eight thousand generations,-"

Captain Takahashi Ichiro, the leader of the first squadron of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army, drank the hot stewed old hen soup, and the pride in his heart was indescribable, so he couldn't help but sing.

Immediately, the Japanese soldiers who were finally able to eat with a round belly also yelled and yelled one after another.

"Until the fine stone turns into a rock

until the rocks grow moss. ――”

A few days ago, the Wonshan detachment marched all the way through the lofty mountains and mountains, and there was no time to grab the food of the Korean people along the way.

After arriving at Shun'an Station yesterday, the detachment leader Sato Shodasa ordered the whole army to immediately 'fetch food' and sweep the nearby villages, but last night many people ate a lot of fish and meat.

This morning, after drinking a dense meal of corn porridge, Ichiro Takahashi finally got his stomach up, and now he is holding the fragrant chicken soup, and he is sweating all over his body, which is extremely sweet.

After eating and drinking, all the Japanese soldiers were weak in their stomachs, spread out their marching blankets, basked in the warm sun, and fell asleep.

Soon the entire Shun'an Post was snoring, and even the soldiers on guard around it were staring with their heads down, only the war horses of Shun'an Post were constantly whining and whispering.

"Why are these horses so anxious?"

First Class Sergeant Cao Nishida Jiroku looked at his mount strangely, his gaze followed the raised head of his beloved horse, and looked at the gentle hillside of the grass to the east of Shun'an Station, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

"It can't be someone up there, right?"

Nishida Jiroku said to Second Lieutenant Tamura Kanichi, who was lying next to him and was asleep, with some panic.

"It is estimated that it is a tiger passing by, and it drools when it sees horse meat, haha, I don't believe you go up and take a look, and fill the tiger's belly."

Tamura smiled and scolded, turned over and continued to sleep.

Hearing the squad leader say this, the soldiers around who were not very down-to-earth all showed a look of relief, and they all joked, "You go feed the tiger", "Even the bones will be swallowed for you, and it will become a puddle of tiger" and continue to sleep.

Looking at the wind blowing the hills and the artemisia grass swaying, Nishida Jiroku still had a little trembling, as a young veteran hunter in Hokkaido, he had an innate innate instinct like an animal about danger.

But let him go up alone, and he didn't have the guts, in case there was really a tiger hidden.

Nishida Zhiliu's heart and liver trembled, and he couldn't sleep well left and right, so he stood up and walked towards the guard post at the north entrance, preparing where to pass the noon time that made him feel inexplicably palpitated.

Merge the riverside, Shun'an Post North Exit Post Road.

After a hearty lunch, Wu Chang Manabe Wenwu, who was in charge of the guard at the north entrance of Shun'an Station, held a simple fishing rod and sat by the river to fish.

Four of his men dozed off a slope.

Three miles to the north, there is a military Cao Guangqiao leading the guard, as the second guard post, Manabe Wenwu feels that he can be completely lazy and rest.

There was a soft sound behind him, and then a footstep came over.

Manabe Bunmu was not in the mood to look back at what these guys were doing again, just staring closely at the fish float made of dried reeds.

Suddenly, behind Manabe Bunto, a voice suddenly came from behind him that made him tremble:

"Yes, I caught a big crucian carp."
