March 10 in the Western calendar, early in the morning.

Yalu River right, outside the city.

Clear.

At the end of the first year and the beginning of the second year, after the snowstorm that swept through most of northern China and north of the Dadong River in North Korea, it was a sunny day for more than a month.

At this time, the snow on the mountains has melted away, and the ice on the Yalu River is also thinning day by day.

Last night, Xu Ru, Shen Yuedong, and Song Fei came from Shuifeng to see off the army that was about to be opened.

Qu Desheng's 3rd battalion of the cavalry regiment plus the troops directly under the regimental headquarters and the logistics supply brigade totaled 1571 cavalry soldiers and 85 carriages full of grain, grass and ammunition.

At this time, 4 cavalry teams and 1 carriage baggage team were lined up, waiting for the departure order.

On the banks of the Yalu River, after a harsh winter, these cavalrymen rode straight on the horses, like a sharp sword waiting to be unsheathed.

Although the sword has not left the sheath to reveal its edge, it has seen a good look.

Zhang Jingjing's North Korean Changbai Mountain Anti-Japanese Regiment had been expanded to 4 battalions at this time, with a strength of more than 2,300 people.

In the middle of the infantry, the 21 Krupp 70mm tube retractable rapid-fire guns and 4 Maxim water-cooled machine guns shimmered in the sun.

Visually striking.

"Cherish all the way, I wish my comrades-in-arms invincibility!"

Xu Ru's face was full of excitement, and he saluted the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army lined up in front.

"Smack!"

All the anti-Japanese soldiers raised their hands excitedly and excitedly to return the salute, and at the same time shouted in their mouths: "The anti-Japanese army is invincible!" ”

It has been dormant on the banks of the Yalu River for a winter, although I have not heard of the spring thunder in the east.

However, the anti-Japanese army, this iron-blooded elite of China.

Today you can finally show your sword!

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

As orders were issued, cavalry, infantry, baggage troops, and 4,000 troops began to set off.

"Onward! Forward! Forward! Our team to the sun—"

The horses are chirping, the wheels are rolling, and the singing is loud.

A rifle with bayonets, the blades shining in the sunlight, rushed to the killing field as the long line moved.

Ru Xu, Yuedong Shen, Fei Fei,——

Everyone watched the long river of the army, and their eyes couldn't help but moisten, and their hearts were surging.

——

In accordance with the combat order issued by He Changying, the Lushun General Staff Department added a number of specific branches, and the Yalu River Military Sub-district carefully agreed on the details.

The 1st Battalion of the Cavalry Regiment first went down the southwest of the river, and then went west to Dagushan after reaching Andong, and then went north to Xiuyan.

After taking Xiuyan City, he continued to move north, and on March 18, launched an attack on the Japanese army in Haicheng.

The 2nd Battalion of the Cavalry Regiment first went up the northeast of the river, crossed the river from the mouth of the Pushi River, and attacked the Japanese detachments in the towns of Changdian, Kuandian, and Saimaji along the way, and went straight to Liaoyang.

The 2nd Cavalry Battalion, a team directly under the regimental headquarters of the Cavalry Regiment, marched north from Jiulian City along the west bank of the Aihe River to attack Phoenix City.

After taking Phoenix, the team forced Liaoyang, and there was no need to launch a thunderous attack on March 18.

After the various divisions took the above-mentioned cities, the cavalry regiment assembled in Liaoyang, and then marched into Mukden for the final decisive battle of the Qing and Japanese armies in Liaodong.

The North Korean Changbai Mountain Anti-Japanese Regiment went down the southwest of the Jiangxi River to the county seat of Andong, and then marched to Dagu Mountain.

A platoon of soldiers stationed there, with the help of local people's manpower and mules and horses, transported the six 75 Krupp racks and a large number of shells that had been hidden when the Korean reinforcements entered southern Liaoning, as well as a large number of shells, into Gushan Town.

This time, it will be transported to the Golden State front along with the army.

Although the mountain road is rugged and difficult, fortunately, the order of the staff is to arrive in Pulandian by April 1st, and 21 days is definitely enough.

Soon, three armies with gray arrows, one southwest, one northeast, and one north.

In the white mountains and black waters of Liaodong, they each rushed to the predetermined battlefield.

Mukden.

Since the 23rd day of the lunar month last year, the Qing army was raided by the Japanese army on the left side of the north and retreated.

Yi Ke Tang A, Song Qing, these Qing army generals, rested in Tieling for a month and a half, and finally couldn't restrain the panic in their hearts, and once again gathered a large army to the south, trying to recapture Fengtian.

This time, the Qing army learned the lesson of the last time, decided to send troops all the way, and prepared a large number of ladders in advance, preparing to raid Pujiabao, which is easier to capture at night.

Then the army advanced directly all the way to Mukden and fought a decisive battle with the Japanese army.

In this battle, the Qing army used a total of 10,000 troops, nearly 5,000 rifles, 300 guns, and nearly 1,000 native and bird commanders.

And the remaining more than 3,000 Qing troops all held broadswords, javelins and bows and arrows in their hands.

After the last defeat and consumption, the Fengbei Qing army only had less than 200,000 rifle bullets left in their hands.

This battle can be said to be an all-or-nothing bet.

If the Japanese army could no longer be defeated, the Qing army, which captured Mukden and used 5,000 rifles as sticks, would no longer have any means to control the enemy.

On March 5, the Qing army marched out of Tieling.

On the afternoon of the 6th, the army arrived anxiously at the mountains and forests near Pujiabaozi, which made Iktanga's soul sad, and quietly waited for the night to come.

In the early hours of that night, tens of thousands of troops marched quietly and secretly surrounded a dark earthen fort.

Then they yelled and set up a ladder and rushed up, climbing the earthen wall of Pujiabao, and they all shouted in surprise, 'Broken, broken!' ’

Then, I found out that Pujiabao had already been empty, and there was not even a shadow of a ghost.

Iktanga and Song Qing were surprised and delighted, and they couldn't understand why the Japanese retreated, thinking that it was the army in the south that defeated the Japanese soldiers?

Or has it already been reconciled?

On the 7th, the Qing army paused and sent Tanma south to Fengtian and east to Fushun to spy on the enemy.

That night, it was reported that Fengtian and Fushun were still stationed a large number of Japanese troops, and the city gate was closed and it was strictly forbidden to enter and exit.

After that, Yi Ke Tang, Song Qing, Zhang Gaoyuan, Chang Shun, Yulu, Anding, Wu Heng, Geng Fengming, Ma Yukun, Ma Jinxu, Song Desheng -

A group of Qing army generals repeatedly discussed the military, pulled the skin for a whole day and two nights, and finally came up with a compromise plan.

The 1,700 Jilin training troops led by Changshun, the 300 Qizi training army led by Wu Heng'e, the 700 Shengzi training army, the 500 Xinfeng army led by Geng Fengming, and the 800 Yi army led by Song Desheng.

A total of 4000 troops.

Formed a blocking coalition army and established a defensive position in the area of Dongshan and Ditai Village, fifteen miles downstream of Fushun, to prevent the reinforcement of the Japanese army in Fushun to Mukden.

At the same time, it also enabled the main force attacking Mukden to attack Mukden City with all its might, without fear of falling into the dangerous situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back.

On the 9th, 10,000 Qing soldiers were divided into two routes.

The blocking coalition army was led by the Jilin general Changshun, and walked through Weitanggou, Magang Village, through Dayang Mountain, and south to the Hunhe River.

The main force of 6,000 troops commanded by Yiketanga and Song Qing marched quickly to the southwest and arrived at the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum in the afternoon of the same day.

Then he hurriedly built a defensive position in the area of the imperial tomb, and erected countless flags.

The books 'Song', 'Yi', 'Zhang', and 'Ma' show the strength of the Qing lineup, and want to use this to scare off the Japanese soldiers.

Here, all the generals of the Qing army tacitly did a clever job.

When the 6,000 main force of the Qing army arrived at the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum, the southbound army led by Changshun slowed down the pace of the march after crossing the Dayang Mountain.

The purpose is to fantasize that the Mukden Japanese soldiers will see the fierceness of the Qing army, and it is best to take the initiative to evacuate the Fushun army, and then abandon the whole army of Fengtian City.

Then the Qing army can take Fengtian City without blood.

However, after all, these veterans of the Qing Dynasty were disappointed, and the Japanese army in Mukden saw the Qing army appearing in the direction of the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum, and they had no intention of abandoning the city at all, let alone evacuating the Japanese army in Fushun.
