On January 19 of the Western calendar and the 22nd of the lunar month, the cavalry regiment of the Anti-Japanese Army raided Gushan Town of the Japanese army in the early morning, and wiped out 63 Japanese soldiers in the town.

Subsequently, Qu Desheng, Lu Tiejiao, Meng Zhou, Song Fei and other generals saw Chen Xiangbei, who had traveled thousands of miles from Qingdao Port, and learned that the 'Nilske' stopped at Daludao, forty miles away, to stand by.

After some consultation, it was decided that the 'Nilske' would be suspended at Okashima, and the cavalry regiment would immediately rush to Andong County and annihilate more than 150 Japanese troops in it.

Nearly at night that day, the cavalry regiment quietly arrived at Changshan Town, 20 miles west of Andong County, and camped.

And Seinfeld's intelligence department 2 began to march east on foot in the night, and their task was to cut the cable from Andong County to Uiju at dawn to prevent the Japanese army from sending news.

Then, after the cavalry regiment had completely captured Anton, Anton's communications would be restored.

At the same time, he was also responsible for the blasting of the west gate of Andong County.

Early the next morning, in the quiet of the morning, the cavalry battalion marched eastward.

After fifteen miles to the east, the cavalry regiment began to divide its forces.

The first route, led by Meng Zhou, bypassed the northern part of Andong County and intercepted in the area of the Yalu River in the northeast of Andong County.

One route was led by Lu Tiejiao to the south to the sea ice zone, blocking the eastward escape of the Japanese army from the south and east of the river and sea ice.

The main force led by Qu Desheng attacked Andong County from the west, to surround it and then annihilate it.

The county seat of Andong.

Captain Kazuaki Ohara, squadron leader of the 14th Squadron of the Japanese Army, was responsible for the defense of the entire county town of Andong.

However, the silence of more than two months, as well as the cold snap of the violent southward movement in the past two days, made Ohara Kazuaki stop sending soldiers out of the city to patrol on guard, and instead stayed in the city with high walls.

The gates were closed in all directions.

Like Kanji Nagaoka, who had already met the god of sunshine, Ohara Kazuaki was also conceited that the Qing cavalry that broke through from Lushun must have been as eager to flee back to Naoli as a group of lost dogs.

So he wasn't worried about the safety of Andong County at all.

There were also those rabble in Shuifeng before, but I heard that except for a few small fish that slipped through the net, the rest of the Qing army and Korean soldiers either surrendered or were killed cleanly.

Get up, wash, eat gruel and kimchi, and then Ohara Kazuaki gathered all the soldiers who were not at the city gate and were on duty at the city head according to military regulations.

"Brave soldiers of the Empire, because of your bravery, the Empire has won victory after victory, occupying this fertile land—"

When Ohara Kazuaki saw the soldiers below, he looked at him intently, and a kind of smug self-satisfaction rose from his heart.

He felt a slight tremor in the soles of his feet, so he stomped his feet and continued: "--Tomorrow is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, I decide-"

Kazuaki Ohara suddenly stopped talking, because his face was ugly and he saw that the soldiers below were all stamping their feet slightly.

Yaga, these unruly bastards!

Ohara Kazuaki was just about to scold, but above the west city wall, a frightened shout suddenly came from afar: "Qing army, Qing army!" ”

"Yaga!"

Ohara Kazuaki's face changed drastically, and he pounced towards the west city wall, and soon panted and climbed to the top of the west city wall.

A mile ahead, Qing cavalry dressed in Western-style military uniforms, holding high a scarlet banner, charged like a cirrus cloud.

"All go up to the walls, and don't let them go near the gates! The telegraph operator immediately-"

"Boom!"

Kazuaki Ohara, who was shouting, suddenly heard a loud explosion in his ears, and then the ground shook under his feet.

Smoke and dust obscured the sky!

Ohara Kazuaki and a group of Japanese soldiers at the head of the city fell down one after another in horror, and two soldiers even fell directly down from the city tower, and lay on the top of the bricks and stones with their heads broken and bleeding and screaming 'wow'.

The west gate of Andong County was perfectly blasted by the technical soldiers of the Second Intelligence Department of the Anti-Japanese Army.

"Kill"

Immediately, before the Japanese army could react from this huge explosion, Qu Desheng led the soldiers of the cavalry regiment and rushed into the county seat of Andong.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

Dense gunshots burst out in Andong County.

Yalu River Estuary, Salary Island.

Xu Ru and Shen Yuedong led a platoon of soldiers to lurk on the island for two days.

A few days ago, when Xu Ru's team expanded to 1,300 people and 800 rifles, she decided to go to Yizhou City, hoping to relieve a little pressure on Shanhaiguan, which was thousands of miles away.

As a result, Wang Guanji led 800 soldiers of the Anzhou guerrillas to appear in Shuozhou, and brought a new order from the Dagu military station,—— the team stood by and went to Andong County to meet the cavalry regiment and merchant ships.

So she hurried all the way south, lurking quietly on Wahua Island, waiting.

"I wonder how you're doing? Tomorrow is the New Year. ”

Xu Ru sat alone on the shore, looking at the frozen dragon of the Yalu River, and whispered to himself.

"Cavalry, our cavalry!"

At this time, a vigilant soldier yelled excitedly.

Xu Ru hurriedly stood up in surprise, only to see that in the west of Andong City, the Yalu River was frozen into the sea, and the cavalry of the two anti-Japanese armies held high the banner of hunting and flying, and charged!

"Boom!"

In the direction of Andong County, a huge explosion suddenly sounded, and the west gate of Andong County was full of dust and smoke from a distance.

"Put up our red flag too!"

With Xu Ru's order, a broken but clean red flag fluttered high on the island.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of January 19 in the Western calendar, the cavalry regiment of the Anti-Japanese Army took less than 20 minutes to completely annihilate the Japanese defenders of Andong County.

141 people were killed and 6 were captured, including Japanese telegraph operators.

"Woo-"

Under the setting sun, the 'Nilske' slowly approached the pier of Andong Port and stopped in the ice zone more than 20 miles away from the pier.

"There are 3,000 Mauser repeating rifles with 900,000 rounds, 21 Krupp 70mm barrel guns and 1,500 grenade shotguns, 200 high-explosive rounds, 4 Makqin water-cooled machine guns and 800,000 rounds, 300 Borshard revolvers,——"

Listening to Chen Xiangbei's report, it is pitiful that now that Shui Fengjun is short of guns and ammunition, the eyes of the soldiers in Xu Ru's row are red.

"There are also wire machines, milling and drilling machines, cold-forged deep-hole drilling and boring machines—"

Although Chen Xiangbei is from the South Seas, he is still confused about these terms, and he can't help muttering: "The commander-in-chief enters these foreign things, who can drive them?" ”

"If someone can drive it, at least those craftsmen in the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau can drive it, and there are four foreign mechanics on board."

Speaking of this, Seinfeld, who came from the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy, also shook his head slightly.

According to the order of the commander-in-chief, these equipment were transported to Shuifeng through the Yalu River after the anti-Japanese army completely annihilated the Japanese army in Yiju and Jiuliancheng.

Not to mention that these bulky equipment are difficult to transport, that is, to transport them, who will make them?

In Seinfeld's opinion, listening to Chen Xiangbei's words, these foreign technicians who have hated the cold weather since they passed Shanghai and are willing to come out of the cabin estimate that even if Shuifeng is not frozen to death, he will choose to hibernate like a bear.

And these foreign mechanics have already said that according to the contract, they will return to Europe in the fourth month of the solar calendar.

Two months is not only necessary to train a group of qualified craftsmen, but also to train enough maintenance workers, which is very difficult for an apprentice who has never been exposed to these things.

Could it be that those guys from the Beiyang Bureau are just living a comfortable life, and they have come all the way here to suffer?
