Golden State City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

By 3 p.m., the fires in all parts of the city had almost completely ceased, and only the ruins and green smoke of the embers of the city told of the catastrophe that had occurred.

The field doctors of the Second Army immediately began to search deeper into the city.

Two infantry squadrons of the 2nd Wing of the Japanese Army also took the initiative to enter the city and participate in the rescue when they passed through Jinzhou City.

Everywhere there were the ruins of collapsed houses, which had completely blocked off all the streets, and beneath the black ruins that had been piled up one after another, there were countless pits full of dark fires.

"Boom—"

"Ahh Ahh

A field doctor didn't pay attention, and a staggered support that seemed to be very strong under his feet suddenly collapsed, and he fell into the pit with the field medic together, splashing the sparks of the tent.

The carbonized debris that had not burned out due to lack of oxygen, but still maintained a high temperature, suddenly burst into flames three or four meters high, accompanied by the terrible and desperate howl of the military doctor.

The large pile of layers of ruins that were stacked and piled up in a mess immediately broke out into a short period of 'youth', and the 'hulala' burned violently for more than ten minutes before the fire was gradually put away.

The Japanese soldiers standing on the side could only watch with horror in their eyes as the military doctor was burned alive.

"Report to the commander, the magnesium and aluminum powder accelerant of Shimose gunpowder can quickly cause a high temperature fire, and it will quickly drain the surrounding oxygen, causing the soldier to suffocate to death due to high temperature and lack of oxygen; The fire in the city of Golden State has doomed the imperial soldiers to fall into the city-"

The head of the Second Army's military medical department, Toshio Ishioka, reported to Oyama Yan with a sad face: "No one can survive. ”

Da Shanyan's face was silent for a while, and he asked the squadron leader of the Second Squadron of the Sixth Engineer Brigade, Captain Shimoyama Haoba: "Can Jinzhou City be simply repaired and garrisoned?" ”

"Report to the commander, Jinzhou City has burned to a pile of ruins, instead of cleaning up the garrison, it is even better to choose a place around the area to rebuild the new city."

Haya replied loudly: "Except for the wall tiles and tiles, there are no useful materials in Jinzhou City. ”

This answer made Dashanyan extremely depressed but helpless, and now he can only hope that Dalian Bay will not be burned too thoroughly, otherwise it will not be easy to survive this winter.

"Order the troops to stop searching."

Dashanyan finally reluctantly gave up his plan to enter Jinzhou, looked at the direction of Dalian Bay, and gently spit out three words: "He Changying!" ”

This name has already brought him too many unpleasant accidents.

If when he mentioned this name before, Da Shanyan, who was the number two person in the Japanese Army in the East, still had a slight disdain, and now he has regarded He Changying as an opponent worthy of his serious treatment.

Golden State City, ruins in the west of the city.

"Whoa—"

The captain of the 1st Engineer Brigade of the Japanese Army in Tokyo, Tamura Yoshiichi Shaosa, climbed out of Qu's well with difficulty, lying on the ground panting heavily, looking around in shock.

The stone walls of the entire compound have been completely destroyed by the sputtered shrapnel, and the houses in the courtyard have also collapsed and ignited under the shock wave of high-explosive shells.

Everywhere there are traces of the fire.

Only the ten tombs and the wells of the Qu family are intact.

In the midst of the fire and heat wave, Tanaka Yoshiichi and a group of Japanese soldiers could not stand the heat wave and jumped off the Qushi well to take shelter.

At this time, on the top of the wide well, the corpses of Japanese soldiers floating at the mouth of the well, only Tanaka Yoshiichi escaped by luck.

Is it because of my kneeling?

Tamura Yoshiichi looked at the ten new graves of Mori, and felt that his courage was about to burst with fright, and his breathing was chaotic, and he fainted.

The surroundings were quiet, and the branches of the tree that had been smashed by the shrapnel of the shells were broken, and the scarred locust tree was only half of the trunk and one branch left.

And the only branch left, but it was still straight and stubborn pointing straight to the sky.

At near night on November 14 in the Western calendar, more than 3,500 troops of the Second Wing of the Second Army of the Japanese Army, which had been ordered, arrived at Jijiatun.

Immediately, on the land between Xiaotuozi Bay and Jinzhou Bay in the Bohai Sea, a positional defense line was established to completely block the eastward escape of the Qing army in southern Liaoning.

On November 15, the 12th Brigade of the Japanese Army, with nearly 8,000 troops, entered Dalian Bay.

Although a large number of buildings in Dalian Bay were burned down by the fire, they were far less complete than the destruction of Jinzhou City.

A lot of houses can still be sheltered from the wind and rain with a little tidying up.

Under the orders of Major General Hasegawa Yoshimichi, the Japanese brigades advanced separately, and finally established a defensive line at Sujiatun in the east of Nanguanling, and faced Lin Yunyu's anti-Japanese army in Nanguanling.

On November 16, the headquarters of the Second Army of the Japanese Army arrived at Jijiatun and set it up as a temporary wartime headquarters.

At the same time, Dashanyan ordered the 2nd Brigade of the 15th Wing of the Nogi Nogi Noshinori Department to divide troops and stairs to garrison the main roads outside Potou Mountain, Chenjiatun, Shimenzi, and Jinzhou City to ensure the safety of the back road.

The 2nd Brigade, the 1st Wing of the 1st Brigade, the 3rd Brigade of the 15th TInfantry Wing of the Takasaki, the 1st Wing of the Tokyo Field Artillery, the 3rd Brigade of the 3rd Wing, the 1st Brigade of the Tokyo Baggage Corps, the 1st Brigade of the Tokyo Cavalry, the 1st Squadron of the 6th Brigade, and the 2nd Squadron of the 6th Engineer Brigade were stationed in Dalian Bay one after another.

The various units immediately began to set up defense zones and camps on a large scale in Dalian Bay.

The scouts of the Japanese army, like rabbits in the mountains of Dalian Bay, touched the direction of Lushun with needles and needles.

The two sides of the Qing and Japanese sides in southern Liaoning, the bowstrings that have been tense these days, temporarily fell into a brief calm.

Waiting for the upcoming Nanguanling offensive and defensive battle.

Liaodong.

At this time, the battlefield of Liaoyang was in decline, and signs of collapse were showing everywhere.

Throughout He Changying's time and space, the Sino-Japanese War.

Lushun, Ludong, Haicheng, and Saimaji, including the great Motianling that was boasted by the Qing army, were actually all great routs of the Qing army.

It is not so much that the Japanese army stopped at Motianling, but was successfully blocked by Nie Shicheng and Song Qing.

It is better to say that because of the ravages of various diseases such as beriberi, dysentery, typhoid fever, gastroenteritis, etc., coupled with the extremely cold weather in eastern Liaodong, it is not suitable for the Japanese army to attack Liaoyang from Motianling.

Therefore, the commander of the First Army at that time, Tsuno Daoguan, chose to break through from Yingkou and Haicheng on the Western Front.

In this way, the upper can march into Liaoyang and Fengtian, and the lower can overlook the Shanhaiguan Pass and oppress the Zhili Plain.

It is far more cost-effective than climbing mountains one by one in a big ravine.

According to post-war statistics, the Japanese army mobilized a total of 240,000 troops throughout the First Sino-Japanese War, of which 175,000 went to Korea. Northeast, Ludong and Taiwan.

Among them, the Japanese army died a total of 13,488 people.

More than 12,000 people died from the disease, with cholera and beriberi coming in at the top two.

Before the Japanese army began the war, there was a local outbreak of cholera in the East, and many soldiers who had been called up to fight were already sick, which further exacerbated the spread of the infection during the assembly at the Hiroshima base camp.

On the mainland, 8,481 Japanese troops were horrified by cholera, of which 5,211 died.

In the Northeast Battlefield, the staple food of the Japanese army was directly distributed rice, and almost no miscellaneous grains were eaten, and the non-staple food was distributed to individuals in the form of vegetable money, and then handed over to the logistics officers of the company.

Most of the soldiers in the Japanese army were poor civilians, and in order to save vegetable money to subsidize their families, they desperately ate polished rice, which could only be eaten by nobles in the past, and only paid the most basic amount of vegetable money, buying a little salt and condiments, which led to a large area of nutritional deficiency of soldiers.

Due to the lack of B vitamins in polished rice, long-term rice as the staple food is easy to suffer from beriberi, malaise, loss of appetite, edema of the chest, abdomen and lower limbs, loss of knee reflex and other symptoms.

In severe cases, it can even cause 'beriberi heart disease', arrhythmia, pericardial edema, and death.

In the First Sino-Japanese War, more than 1,800 Japanese soldiers died of beriberi.
