"I'm okay with that."

Xu Bangdao was the first to speak.

"I'm okay with that."

Jia Qisheng was also 'light G' at this time, and nodded in agreement without saying a word.

Xia Qingyun hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth and said: "If Lao Tzu dies here, it will be all dead people and birds, and what kind of ghost fisher do you pay attention to?" You can take these five battalions of Wuyi Army and just take care of it, as long as you can destroy the Japanese people, it's worth it! ”

"Ready——, release!"

"Boom-"

From the top of the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan, the Japanese army's small artillery still kept smashing solid small projectiles into the three cities, although it did almost no substantial damage, but it was particularly annoying.

On the main city wall of Shanhaiguan, the rogue style of the Japanese artillery, after the soldiers in the three cities outside the pass, ran three or four times inside and out to prevent the artillery from the wall, and all the soldiers were completely enraged.

The bolder ones stood at the head of the city one by one, or in the open space of the inner city, pointing at the Japanese artillery on the Great Wall, and scolding angrily.

"The chop of the dog raised by the grandson, can you still let your grandfather have a bowl of hot soup?"

"These filthy grandsons! In the past, if you knew which cheap sister in the Oriental kiln was your mother, Lao Tzu would have patronized it a few more times! ”

"Ma Bi, Lao Tzu really doesn't move today, just this broken cannonball, if you love to blow up, just blow it up! I'm waiting for you grandsons to come and serve! ”

The timid soldiers, on the other hand, were busy running into the fortifications, while admonishing the soldiers who were so angry that they refused to enter the fortifications.

"Brother can't get tired of running two steps, you must know that cannonballs don't grow eyes."

"I'll hide when the cannon comes, I'll stop the cannon now, what is special is that there are many cannons in the Japanese people, or Lao Tzu's legs are numb!"

Hearing the statements of Xu Bangdao and the others, He Changying's face showed a relieved smile, and said to Qi Jiacai and Lu Wenjie beside him: "This matter will be handled by your General Staff and Military Judge Office. ”

"Yes!"

Qi Jiacai and Lu Wenjie both saluted and responded to the order.

"Gongwei Army, Sheng Army, Wuyi Army, Renzi Army, Aid Korean Army, plus thousands of recruits who have been replenished one after another; As long as the main force of the Japanese army advances south, in this Shanhaiguan, our strength is not weaker than that of the Japanese army, and the guns are slightly superior, and the artillery completely crushes these small cannons. I'm fighting this—"

He Changying looked back at the main city of Shanhaiguan, and the corpses hanging on the city wall, and said loudly: "Full of confidence!" ”

Yongpyeongfu.

Yama Prefecture Aritomo, Katsura Taro, Nozu Michikan, Ogawa Matsuji, Tamura Rice and Saku,——

A group of generals of the First Army stood on the southern city wall, looking at the 2nd and 3rd Cavalry Brigades that had just been reorganized, totaling more than 1,200 cavalry, as the vanguard across the Tang River and marching south towards Tangshan.

"The ten infantry brigades composed of 10,000 soldiers must be formed day by day, and the whole army will be set up early tomorrow morning to target Tangshan."

Shan County Youpeng ordered the staff officers around him:

"On the way to Tangshan and Yanjing, the new army was responsible for conducting a thorough search of all suspicious villages and towns along the way, and exterminating on the spot those who were dissatisfied with the great deeds of the Qing army, local militias, and those who expressed dissatisfaction with the great deeds of the empire; While marching, while training! ”

"Hey!"

The small river on the city wall once again answered loudly.

In the early morning of February 6 in the Western calendar, the First Army of the Japanese Army completed its reorganization.

Nearly 27,000 main forces of the First Army, as well as a large number of artillery and military resources, began to leave Shanhaiguan and Yongping Province and march towards Tangshan, a new coal town of the Qing Dynasty, 400 miles to the southwest.

On February 7, the three cities outside the Daqing Customs completed the initial integration.

In addition to the nearly 2,000 soldiers in Liu Kun's hand, Luo Huafei has a sentry Dagu artillery in his hand.

The remaining nearly 9,000 soldiers in the three cities outside the gate were organized into four infantry regiments, two artillery battalions, one cavalry battalion, one guard company, one reconnaissance company, and one engineer company.

The supreme power, including the appointment and dismissal of officers, the payment of military merit pensions, and the final interpretation of military law and discipline, is under the control of the Three Cities Joint Command.

Commander He Changying, Deputy Commander Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, Xia Qingyun, Li Jingfang.

The three-city Joint Command and Staff Department is responsible for the specific implementation of the battle plan, with Lieutenant Colonel Angus as chief of staff and Lieutenant Colonel Bruce as deputy chief of staff.

The military exploits of soldiers and officers, as well as their military salaries and allowances, are recorded by the Archives and Documents Bureau directly under the headquarters, and the director of the Archives and Documentation Bureau is Tang Shaoyi.

Military discipline and punishment of soldiers and officers are enforced by the Military Judge Advocate General in accordance with the Military Law Regulations, with He Changying as the Chief of the Military Law and Lu Wenjie as the Deputy Chief of the Military Law.

The logistics were in charge of the deputy commander Li Jingfang, and Li Xiang, a captain clerk of the former Archives Bureau who was transferred from Lushun, assisted as Li Jingfang's deputy.

At the same time, field hospitals were formed, as well as various civilian and technical posts directly under the headquarters.

Liu Mingyang, commander of the First Infantry Regiment, and Li Fengrui, deputy commander of the First Infantry Regiment, have four infantry battalions and a total of more than 2,200 troops.

Liu Gangzhi, the commander of the second regiment, and Cao Yitao, the deputy commander of the regiment, have three infantry battalions and a Green artillery sentry post, with a total of more than 1,900 troops.

Nie Pengcheng, the commander of the third regiment, and Wei Jiaxun, the deputy commander of the third regiment, have three infantry battalions and a total of more than 1,700 troops.

Jia Rongchun, the commander of the Fourth Regiment, and Chang Yuqi, the deputy commander of the Fourth Regiment, have three infantry battalions and a total of more than 1,700 troops.

In this whole army, except for Nie Shicheng's own junior Nie Pengcheng, who was just in his early fifties, there were almost no officers over the age of forty in the rest of the four infantry regiments.

He Changying set up a military council under the joint command of the three cities.

He and the other four deputy commanders served as members of the Standing Committee of the Military Assembly, and all the old and ideologically rigid adjutant generals, staff generals, guerrillas, and garrisons were placed in the Military Assembly, and they were raised at a starting salary of 50 guangyang per month, and then raised them layer by layer according to their seniority and rank.

He Changying, Xu Bangdao and the five people do not receive salaries, among these generals who retired in disguise, Fan Wenli, who was injured in the abdomen and did not return to Jinmen, has the highest rank, and can receive 231 Guangyang per month, which is nearly 3,000 Guangyang in a year.

"I know that the generals have a lot of questions, but now my words He Changying are placed here, as long as the banner of the anti-Japanese army does not fall, as long as I He Changying is still sitting in this position, you will have a lot of salaries from now to a hundred years, and it will continue to increase over time."

He Changying and Xu Bangdao sat on the top of a large room in the North Wing City, and there were nearly twenty military councilors sitting below, and even Fan Wenli asked his own soldiers to carry him over to listen.

The generals in the room all exchanged glances with each other, and everyone was not stupid, and they heard He Changying's words, and there was something deeper behind these actions.

He wanted to take over the Hunan army and the Huai army, and re-establish the third new force of the Great Qing State that could be held in the Forbidden City.

"The biggest, and arguably the only thing in front of us now, is how to defeat the Japanese army besieging the three cities, and all the forces must be twisted into a rope; If you can't survive, everything will be stopped! ”

'If you can't survive, don't mention anything!' ’

- He Changying's words knocked out all the thoughts and questions of all the generals present, and their lives are gone, what are they fighting for?

First of all, it is necessary to defeat those ruthless Japanese troops on the periphery and survive, so that they can calculate other things.

"Boom-"

With the sound of artillery one after another, the continuous shelling of the Japanese army's Y soul only stopped for a while and began again.

"This artillery fire is very helpful to the growth of our new army; Field warfare requires much more from the army than from defending a city. ”

He Changying said with a smile: "Although it is inevitable that there will be sacrifices, it is worth it!" Without this minimum baptism of artillery, it is really in the field battle outside the city in the back, and when you see the fierce impact of the Japanese army, it is easy to weaken and collapse. ”

"Let's go out and have a look."

Li Jingfang smiled and proposed: "We are also in the artillery fire of the Japanese soldiers, practicing iron courage." ”
