"This Qing army is completely different from those armies of Ye Zhichao in Seoul before, is it the real elite soldiers secretly trained by the Qing army?"

Yoshimasa Oshima said in a low voice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was another sentence, but he didn't say it.

-- As the saying goes, although there is no panorama, judging from the grandeur of the Qing army that we have seen so far, as long as the military strength of this Qing army is sufficient, then the first brigade of a household guard will have more than 19 murderers.

Thinking of the possible bad news of the 1st Brigade of the 11th Wing, Yoshimasa Oshima was so upset that he wanted to vomit blood.

As the advance team, Oshima Yoshimasa specially drew one squadron from each of the 2nd and 3rd Brigades of the 11th Wing, and half a squadron from the 5th Cavalry Brigade, supplemented the 1st Brigade, and handed it over to the command of Ichido Guard.

With a total of more than 1,100 troops, it is close to two standard brigades, accounting for one-third of the strength of its Ninth Brigade in Pyongyang.

In this 'Korean War' and even the subsequent 'Battle of the Qing Dynasty', the Imperial Military Department, under the leadership of Count Youpeng of Yamasan, had conducted countless tactical deductions before, and the conclusion was that the Qing army would be defeated.

During this period, various organizations of the empire sent a large number of spies, active in Tianjin, Beijing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Xi'an to collect intelligence.

He knows the number, generals, numbers, and comprehensive combat strength of each army of the Qing army.

Now, not only within the empire, but also the Western powers, all agree that compared with the navy and army of the empire, the navy and army of the Qing Dynasty are vulnerable.

Otherwise, the British Empire would not have changed its years of arrogance, first signing a treaty of equality with the Empire, and then allowing the Empire to issue war bonds in London.

Even the bombing and sinking of the ship "Gao Sheng" that shocked the world in July, the British government also pinched its nose and admitted it.

If the 1st Brigade is really wiped out, and the news is transmitted back to the division commander, back to the military headquarters, and back to the country, what kind of uproar will it cause?

And what kind of telegrams would be sent back to Europe in the presence of Western observers in the present battle, and what kind of bad impact would it have on the war debt that underpinned the Imperial War?

Yoshimasa Oshima couldn't even imagine it anymore.

If it really brings huge losses to the empire because of this, then he can only kill himself by disembowelment to thank the emperor!

Is this war, which seemed bright before, and the newly born Chaoyang Empire about to completely replace the decaying 'old empire' and become the new hegemon of East Asia, is it really smooth sailing as previously expected?

Just thinking about it, Yoshimasa Oshima felt like he was almost overwhelmed.

He let out a long breath and lifted his spirits, many things were not the time to think about now.

All he had to do now was to take Sheren Pass, and then occupy Hwangju City, clearing the last two obstacle strongholds under Pyongyang for the main force of the division.

Yoshimasa Oshima took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said resolutely:

"There aren't so many shells for you to splurge; Give you twenty minutes to prepare, and fill in all of your Eleventh Wing for me; Tell the soldiers of the Empire, including you, Xidao Zhuyi, to either occupy Sheren Pass, or all of them will die on the battlefield of the South Slope! ”

"Hey!"

Nishijima roared with a resolute face.

Half an hour later, when nearly 1,000 soldiers of the 11th Wing of the Japanese Army rushed to Sheren Pass with a tragic attitude like moths to a fire, they were stunned to see that the peak was empty.

There is not a shadow of the Qing army.

The position was in shambles, leaving countless bullet casings and stains of blood.

The Qing army actually retreated automatically?

All the Japanese soldiers looked at each other one by one, what was going on, or was there a bigger conspiracy brewing in the Qing army?

Oshima Yoshimasa, who immediately got the amazing news, was surprised to climb the Sheren Pass.

Looking at the sniper line at the peak, the blood stains of bullet casings all over the ground, and the fragments of body shreds that were torn apart by artillery, the pupils in Oshima Yoshimasa's eyes suddenly contracted.

There was not a single corpse left on the battlefield!

What kind of special army is this?

On the Asan position, not to mention the dead corpses and seriously wounded of the Qing army, even the Qing army with minor injuries and broken legs, were all helplessly left on the mountain position, no one cared for them, and finally became prisoners of the empire.

Oshima Yoshimasa strode to the north cliff of the peak, stood on the uniquely shaped flying stone, raised his telescope and followed the ridgeline, searching for traces of the Qing army to the north.

Soon, he saw a long line of Qing soldiers and horses on a mountain line, all of which were carrying the seriously wounded and the corpses of the dead in battle, marching northward.

Then, Oshima Yoshimasa faced a Qing army general who was holding a telescope and looking at his side.

Although most of the faces of the Qing army general were blocked by holding binoculars in both hands, looking at half of his face, he seemed to be very young.

Then, the Qing army general also seemed to have discovered Oshima Yoshimasa, only to see him put down his binoculars, revealing a young and excessive face, and a bright smile slowly exploded on his face.

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the valley in the north, his right fist clenched and the middle finger was facing upwards, and he raised it in the direction of Oshima Yoshimasa, and the middle finger of his left index finger made a scissor shape and cut it towards the middle finger of his right hand.

The middle finger is gone!

In the howling mountain wind, Oshima Yoshimasa's face suddenly turned pale, and his body was shaky.

"Commander!"

"General!"

Several generals standing next to him exclaimed, and Shi Shaozuo hurriedly supported Oshima Yoshimasa, afraid that he would fall off the bottomless cliff if he was not careful.

And Oshima Yoshimasa bit his lip tightly, still holding the telescope and looking north.

Seeing Yoshimasa Oshima's face full of Kahaku, Takeda Shuzo, Nishijima Sukeyoshi, Nagata Kame, and other military officers with telescopes in their hands picked up their glasses and looked in the direction that Oshima Yoshimasa's eyes were.

Soon they found the Qing army general who broke away from the Qing army and walked alone to a cliff and stood in the whistling mountain wind.

With a very unbeaten smile on his face, he raised his right hand to make a pistol, and fired three shots at the general of the house, and his mouth moved with a 'pop pop' accent.

"Baga, this clear pig, I will chop his head sooner or later to drink!"

The hot-tempered Nagata Turtle Shaozo scolded angrily.

"Bastard!"

Yoshimasa Oshima suddenly put down the telescope in his hand and slapped Nagata Turtle's big face: "What did you use to chop off his head and use your mouth?" You are a defeated general, what qualifications do you have to judge the winner! ”

Then Oshima Yoshimasa yelled at his co-captain, the captain: "You all listen to me, from now on, before every mountain, you will search for me repeatedly, occupy the commanding heights, and build a good iron bucket-like defense line for me at every pass; Unless you want to be like a family of soldiers, the whole army will be wiped out! ”

The entire flying stone became a deathly silence, and all the generals were shocked by Oshima Yoshimasa's words.

That's nearly 1,200 troops in two teams!

You must know that the battle of Asan faced the Qing State's first-rank admiral and second-rank general soldiers, and the imperial army only lost 87 people.

The deputy brigade commander of the Ninth Brigade, Komatsuzaki Rio Osa, looked at Oshima Yoshimasa in shock and said: "Commander, Ichitobei Shaozuo is just temporarily uncontactable, and it may just be cut off by the Qing army to the north of Dongxian Ridge." ”

Hearing the deputy brigade commander Rio Komatsuzaki say this, the surrounding generals showed a hint of ease.

Come to think of it, how could the imperial army of 1,200 people be eaten by these pigs so easily?
