"Okay, generals, fight well!"

At this time, Song Qing, Ma Yukun, and Song Desheng, who had only come late for reinforcements, rushed over with a large group of military horses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, it was already 7:1 in the morning, there was a faint mist between the sky and the earth, although he could not see the situation of the Japanese army on the other side of Zhongjiang, but looking at the stumps of the Japanese army on the high ground of Zhongjiang, which were swept away by the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army, Song Qing couldn't help but stroke his beard happily and laughed.

"The main force of your reinforcement army has not gone west?"

At this time, Nie Shicheng looked at He Changying with a smile and asked the doubts in his heart.

Seeing that everyone was smiling and looking over with doubts, He Changying pretended to be forced and said: "Where the Japanese army crosses the river, there is the main force of our reinforcement army!" ”

"Okay, you little rabbit cub, you really can't even hide it from the old man, but this battle is really good; Today, you are the first merit, hurry up and report the battle merits, and I will send a report to the court! ”

As long as it is a victory, Song Qing's face is bright, not to mention that today's battle is really mysterious and mysterious, which can be described as extremely dangerous.

Song Qing, who was awakened by the sound of artillery this morning, had the first thought of 'broken', and hurriedly led his troops to rush down the reed ditch, summoning Song Desheng to rush all the way along the river to reinforce him.

Hearing the dense gunfire in Zhongjiang halfway, Song Qing calmed down a little in his heart, thinking that Ma Jinxu had discovered the Japanese soldiers and was fighting fiercely.

However, Ma Jinxu only has 3 battalions of infantry, and his strength is weak, so he hopes that it will not be too late for him to lead his troops over.

As a result, when I arrived at the riverside, I got such a big surprise!

In today's war, if it weren't for the alertness of the reinforcement army and the courage of Nie Shicheng and Ma Jinxu to fight, maybe the tens of thousands of Japanese troops would have crossed the Yalu River and were attacking Hushan on all fronts.

Just thinking about the treacherous situation he was going to face next, Song Qing felt his scalp tingle and his heart trembled.

At this time, Song Qing, who had recovered his strength, looked at the other side of the river, and scolded angrily: "These Japanese are really cunning, clearly pointing to the Anping estuary, and actually secretly attacking Hushan!" ”

"Junmen, this matter today, Commander Liu is not interesting enough; The brothers fought for life and death in the river, and General Nie and I were cleaned up of the artillery camp, but he didn't say anything about sending troops in Jiulian City, and he didn't even hear a cannon to support. ”

At this time, Ma Jinxu, who had been at odds with Liu Shengxiu and was forced to leave the Ming Army to defect to Song Qing, looked coldly at the Jiulian City on the city wall not far away, which was full of Ming Army, and said hatefully:

"It's just a watchdog, you should bark twice at this time, cheer!"

Song Qing also glanced coldly at Jiulian City, which was still closed with the city gates, and said with a sneer: "This time the reinforcement army, Wu Yi Army, and Ma Commander have all made great achievements, and our Yi Army has a small credit yesterday; The telegram was sent to Jinmen, the imperial court, and the adults' eyes were bright, and they would have their own branches! ”

Liu Shengxiu stood on the city wall, looking at the thousands of troops at the mouth of the right bank of the river, and secretly scolded Nie Shicheng and Ma Jinxu for their good luck.

and that little bastard He Changying.

Clearly said that the main force was going west, but he cunningly hid the team in the mountains, what a cunning little fox!

"Disperse, our Mingjun should not be a bird, do not seek merit but seek no fault."

Liu Shengxiu said sourly and walked down the city wall.

North of Uiju City, left of the Yalu River.

On the entire riverbank, there was a gloomy cloud.

"In this battle, 531 people were missing and killed in our army, including 9 second lieutenant officers, 4 lieutenants, and the leader of the 11th squadron, Captain Ono Yusan, who was responsible for blocking the attack, was killed."

With the staff officer's report, Shan County Youpeng's face became more and more gloomy.

"In this campaign, the first to attack was the reinforcement army, which was divided into two directions: east and west; More than 500 troops of the original riverside detachment lurked in the east of the upper reaches, and when our army had just crossed the river with a squadron, it launched a fierce surprise attack, and the downstream was the main force of the reinforcement army, estimated at no less than 2,000 troops, and launched an attack when our army crossed the river with nearly five squadrons. ”

Captain Takaji Iwamoto of the First Army, a staff officer, continued to recount the situation of the battle: "The sappers of the reinforcement army forced a breakthrough with fire oil and burned the bridge; Subsequently, the two armies of Hushan, about 2,000 troops, participated in the battle group. ”

"Is Miki Kamio gone?"

Hearing the staff officer's report, Yama Prefecture Youpeng yelled: "She and Matsui Shinji should both commit suicide and apologize!" ”

"Lieutenant Kamio left yesterday."

Tamura Yi, deputy chief of staff of the First Army, said in a frightened voice: "Is this supporting Korean army a ghost, how can they calculate that the empire is going to cross the river in Hushan?" ”

"Baga, rest the enemy's ambition!"

Yama Prefecture Youpeng glared at Tamura Izuzao angrily, but at this time, he was also full of surprise like all the Japanese generals.

"The reinforcements should have guessed at the beginning that the empire was going to cross the river upstream; This is not difficult to guess, because downstream, the imperial army did not have enough ships to cross the river, so they secretly hid their troops in Tiger Mountain, waiting for the opportunity. ”

This time, the staff officer of the 9th Brigade, who followed Komatsuzaki Rikuma to the bank of the Yalu River, mustered up the courage to speak:

"In yesterday's capture of the Anping estuary by the Empire, there should be two speculations corresponding to the Qing army: one is that the imperial army is going to attack Changdian and go straight to Liaoyang, and the other is that the empire is going to cut off the support of the Qing army's left flank to the downstream and attack the downstream."

"Because the empire's army in Uiju City did not go north in a big way, the reinforcement army concluded that we will cross the river at Hushan and Jiulian City."

All the Japanese generals had a contemplative look on their faces, listening to the analysis of the history of Okagai.

For this thirty-six or seventeen-year-old young Shaozuo, no one in the Japanese generals present had any contempt.

Because he is the current chief of staff left behind in the base camp, after the Minister of War Oyama Iwa went on the expedition, he acted as the Minister of War, and was a personal disciple of Major General Kodama Gentaro.

"Then why did the reinforcement army appear in Tiger Mountain this morning?"

Yama Prefecture Youpeng had a gloomy face, looking at Okagashi, waiting for his explanation.

"In the war, no one dares to say that he is clever, and the only thing is to think in the words of Confucius, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'; the reason why you chose to attack Hushan, Commander, is the reason why the Korean reinforcements judged that the imperial army would cross the river from Hushan."

Okawaishi said in a deep voice: "In the same way, the best time for you to choose to attack, Commander, is the time when the reinforcements judge the imperial attack. ”

Although Okawaishi's words were a bit awkward, the people present immediately understood them.

Previously, the General Staff believed that if they chose to attack Jiulian City, once the imperial army was blocked under the city, they would face the joint attack of the Qing army of Jiulian City, Yushugou, and Weizigou.

The Qing army in Hushan could take advantage of the situation to descend the mountain, attack the back road of the Zhongjiang Empire, and even destroy the bridge.

In this case, it is likely to be a great disaster for the imperial army that has not crossed the river with baggage!

And chose to attack Hushan, the Qing army was in Jiulian City, and the army on the right bank of the Zhuanghe River could not come to support for a while.

Moreover, there are many peaks in Hushan, even if the war is unfavorable, the empire can completely establish a defensive position on the eastern front mountain, and then the rest of the army and grain and grass in Yiju City can be transported through the Anping River estuary.

After settling his position, he marched westward step by step, completely defeating the Qing army on the right bank of the Sang River and Jiulian City.

As for the time of the attack, for the Empire, of course, it is a quick battle, in case there are many dreams at night!

Obviously, for the construction of this battle situation, General Shan Shan and the General Staff of the First Army planned very perfectly.

However, it is precisely because of this that it was easily judged by the cunning reinforcements of the Korean army, the military deployment of the empire.
