Chapter 116: Heavy rain besieges the city

The sudden rainstorm seemed to rain endlessly, and by the next morning, it was still dark everywhere, only the majestic rain and lightning and thunder raged between the heavens and the earth. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He Changying was awakened at about four o'clock in the morning by Lu Tiejiao, who came back from the patrol of the guard, he took away the damp blanket wrapped around his body, and asked Lu Tiejiao: "Is there any violation of military discipline this night?" ”

"The dozens of people in the Beitang training army are honest, I guess some of them are uncomfortable in their hearts, it should be that the four people who said strange things a few days ago were beaten miserably, killing chickens and monkeys, and they didn't dare to take the lead this time."

Lu Tieleg said unhappily: "But those veterans of Dagu Fort have made a few complaints, saying that they borrowed the people's houses to live in this rainy day, what can they do?" We have come thousands of miles to help them fight, sleep in their houses, and give them a few big children, these poor people don't like to die. ”

He Changying smiled and didn't say anything, just asked him to go and rest with Lu Zhaomei.

According to Lu Tie Le's saying, 'Sleeping in their house, it's a big deal to give a few big words', then He Changying believes that sooner or later this team will also degenerate, 'sleep their women, it's a big deal to give a few big children'.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill, and that's the reason.

In the time and space where He Changying once was, he saw a group of pictures of the People's Liberation Army entering Shanghai in 49.

He was shocked at the time.

At first, when the conditions were not met, the PLA who hurriedly entered the city was asked by their superiors not to disturb the people, and the soldiers slept at night by the houses on both sides of the street.

This kind of behavior is in stark contrast to the corrupt military discipline of the retreating Nationalist Army, and it was only one night that the citizens of China's largest city, the Oriental Pearl, were moved to accept these People's Liberation Army.

Let's not mention the illusory things such as the people's hearts, in He Changying's view, such an army that orders and prohibits can be regarded as a real iron army.

There is no right or wrong justice in military affairs, as long as it is conducive to defeating the enemy, then it is the right decision.

Strict military discipline is the basic guarantee for victory.

Cultivating a sense of honor and pride in the army and giving them a sense of belonging is the best guarantee for cohesion of this force.

"Xu Ru, you go and notify each company and platoon, and let the cooking soldiers boil ginger soup for the soldiers to drink first; Zhao Ao, inform all companies and platoons to stop all training today and study in squads; Vians—"

He Changying shouted before remembering that Wu Weiyang was not at ease last night, so he ran to the area of the cavalry company and went to sleep, and he said to Lu Zhaomei: "Let's go, let's go and see the soldiers of each company and platoon." ”

In the early morning of August 31, 1894 in the Western calendar, the people of Bochuan City, who had been anxious and sleepless at night, were lucky to thank the gods in the house for not entering the house last night to harm themselves.

While worrying about whether his relatives were affected by the war, he opened the closed wooden window and peeked out.

All the people of Bochuan City, North Korea, were stunned for a moment.

Because they were surprised to see that under the eaves of their own and their neighbors, there were soldiers from foreign countries sleeping.

The storm raged all day on August 31, and in the evening, He Changying, who couldn't hold back, and a group of officers came to the outside of Bochuan City, and saw the white waves surging outside Bochuan City.

The shallow surface of the river, which had been only sixty or seventy meters yesterday, had expanded four or five times by this time, not only filling the riverbed and submerging the simple long stone bridges, but also spreading almost all the water to the walls of Bochuan Castle.

He Changying's face was gloomy at that time.

Since this is the case with the Daning River, then the Daqing River thirty miles away can also be imagined.

In Ho Changying's original plan, today's reinforcement army will pass through Anju City, and then carry out a four-day rapid march to reach Pyongyang City on September 3.

That night, after replenishing various supplies in Pyongyang, he went straight to Hwangju County, 80 miles away.

Then on September 5, the reinforcement army can reach Huangzhou County.

Then he lurked outside the city of Huangzhou and waited for the arrival of the 11th Brigade of the 11th Wing led by the 11th Infantry Shaosasho of the Japanese army Oshima Yoshimasa, the vanguard of the 9th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese army Oshima Yoshimasa.

In He Changying's time and space, the first contact battle of the Pyongyang Campaign was encountered by a sentry cavalry under Zuo Guigui and the first brigade of a household guard five miles east of Huangzhou City.

It's a pity that the Qing army only has the strength of one outpost, and it failed to leave more than 1,000 people from a household guard.

So far, He Changying believes that the storm fanned by his 'little butterfly' should not really begin to affect the world, so these circumstances should not have changed.

Of course, He Changying didn't have such a big appetite, and arrogantly wanted to use his own eggs as a thousand recruits to eat the first brigade of the next guard.

However, this battle was a very rare actual combat training.

If you lose, you will retreat if it is a big deal, and it is estimated that there will not be much loss.

Because the Oriental soldiers who were tired all the way and were not familiar with the terrain obviously did not have much strength to chase after them.

If you win, then it's time to beat the Reservoir Dogs.

After the Huangzhou encounter, more than 16,000 people of the Fifth Oriental Division in Korea immediately poured their troops in, and He Changying could no longer find such a good fighter for actual combat training.

And for this family of guards who became happy in Asan and defeated the famous Qing general Nie Shicheng, He Changying has long admired the name.

This little army junior sorbet grew up to become an army general in the East in the years that followed, and was the sworn friend of the so-called army 'god of war' Nogi Noshinori in the East.

And his adjutant in the Russo-Japanese War, Hayashi Mijuro, was the future commander of the Oriental Army in Korea, army general, land minister, and became the prime minister of the East the year before the 77 Incident.

In He Changying's calculations, time is interlocking.

However, now that the water is crossing, as long as it is delayed for another day, this first battle in Pyongyang, the reinforcement army will not be able to catch up.

"Zhao Ao, pass the order, tonight each company and platoon to make hats and ponchos, and go to Daqing River tomorrow morning."

He Changying ordered with a gloomy face: "Kaiyu, the reconnaissance platoon asks some local guides at a high price, and tomorrow morning we will go to the North Songli Post and Yanye Post in the upper reaches of Anzhou to reconnoitre, see how much the stone bridge there is flooded, and is there a way to cross the river?" Tomorrow—"

He Changying slammed his fist on a pine tree beside him: "The troops must cross the Daqing River!" ”

Shen Zhaoao felt that as a staff officer, he should tell He Changying truthfully at this time that having a beautiful ideal without any cornerstone for realizing it would not only cost him his life and money, but also that this kind of stupid behavior would make the prestige of the army commander in the hearts of the soldiers suffer a heavy blow.

"Battalion commander, I looked at the map, and I also asked the officials of Bochuan City, Anzhou Station, North Songli Station, Yanye Station, the stone bridges by the three rivers are all built very low, and stone bridges like this kind of heavy rain will definitely be completely submerged, and the people here usually wait for the water to recede before crossing the river."
