Chapter 186: Battle of Pyongyang III

On the left bank of the Taedong River in the east of Pyongyang, fierce battles between the Qing and Japanese armies were still ongoing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yoshimasa Oshima, who was restless and restless, led the headquarters of the 9th Brigade to Plantashoin at 6 o'clock in the morning to directly command the battle at close range.

The 8th Squadron, which was responsible for guarding the artillery position, was immediately liberated, and quickly made a dozen extended planks and carried them to reinforce the Japanese troops in the center attacking the heavy fort of the right flank.

What He Changying, who was far away on the other side of the Datong River, did not know was that because of a mistake in his previous consideration, he crossed the river one night late and lost a huge fighter plane.

At this time, the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army concentrated seven squadrons and more than 1,400 troops in the right fort of the Qing army's Chuanqiao Fort.

Zhongbao concentrated more than 600 troops of three squadrons of the Japanese army.

More than 300 troops of two squadrons were concentrated on Yangjiao Island in Jiangxin.

At the regimental headquarters and artillery position of the 9th Brigade of Zaesongyuan, there were no guards except for more than 150 unarmed artillerymen from an artillery brigade, more than 50 people from an engineer squadron, more than 30 civilian guards from the division and regiment, and 10 or so unarmed field doctors from the field hospital.

As long as the tactics are appropriate, the more than 500 reinforcements of the Korean army can quickly strangle the regimental headquarters of the Ninth Brigade like a tiger, and then march away before the Japanese army a mile away returns for reinforcements.

"Yaga, damn it!"

In Zhonghe City a few days ago, Captain Lin Jiushi, the leader of the second squadron, who had beaten the 7,000 troops of the Qing army with half a squadron, was suppressed by the condescending shooting of the Qing army and lay on the rocky ground, shouting angrily, but there was nothing to be done.

One hundred and fifty meters in front of him, the Qing army was shooting again and again with the breastwall of the stone rampart, and behind him was a heavy masonry fort six or seven meters high.

Moreover, the cunning Qing army also dug a three-meter-wide trench around the chest wall, soaked in river water, and I don't know how deep it was, and it was difficult to get close to the chest wall of the Qing army.

"Why didn't Takeda Nakasa let the four squadrons behind come up for reinforcements?"

The fourth squadron leader, Captain Ogasawara Matsukuma, was lying on the ground, and while raising his gun to shoot, he questioned the captain of the first brigade, Mori Kei Shaosa, who was in charge of the attack of the two squadrons of the avant-garde.

"Bastard, Takeda Nakasa's decision is something you can interfere with!"

Mori Yujing was furious and cursed Ogasawara Matsukuma: "It's a shame for you and me to not be able to beat the right fort, and you still have the face to anger Shangguan?" ”

"Hey!"

Ogasawara Matsukuma blushed and yelled, "Call me!" ”

"Captain, the eighth squadron has come up, and they still have long planks from the trenches."

Lieutenant Hosoi Yushun, the deputy of the team, heard the voice behind him, and turned around to see a group of Japanese soldiers carrying wooden planks rushing out of the forest in the rear, and shouted with joy.

"The whole army stands and runs!"

The captain of the 1st Brigade, Mori Yukei Shaosa, immediately stood up bravely and ordered more than 400 soldiers of the 2nd, 4th, and 2nd Squadrons of the 21st Wing of the Japanese Army to attack on all fronts.

"Second squadron, the whole team runs and attacks!"

Lin Jiushi also stood up all of a sudden, facing the direction of the right fort and yelling.

"Fourth Squadron, run and attack! Long live the Emperor, kill the pigs! ”

Ogasawara Matsukuma also roared and jumped.

"Long live the Emperor, kill the pigs!"

The Japanese soldiers who were responsible for attacking the right fort were fiercely suppressed for nearly three hours, and at this time they were all red-eyed, and when they heard the order, they all stood up with their guns in their hands, and rushed towards the dense gunfire of the Qing army.

"Hit me hard!"

Ma Yukun, who had been in the right fort, also shouted: "Kill these widows!" ”

"Kill these widows!"

The fort roared, holding their guns and half-standing on the breastwork, firing at the running Japanese soldiers.

"The whole army runs and attacks!"

Takeda Hideyama, who had been looking for fighters in the rear, pulled out the saber at his waist with a 'bell', pointed at the right fort of the Qing army and yelled.

"Attack!"

With the shouting, more than 800 Japanese troops from the 1st, 3rd, 9th, 10th, and 4th squadrons of the 21st Wing of the Japanese Army stood up and followed behind the 8th Squadron and rushed towards the right fort.

"Bang bang bang-"

In the sound of gunfire, Japanese soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground, but the equipment of the Qing army was mostly single-shot fast rifles, and at a distance of more than 100 meters, before two shots, the Japanese army had already rushed to the front of the trench.

The Japanese soldiers on the side of the trench were screaming one after another, raising their guns to shoot at the Qing troops on the chest wall, while waiting for the planks of the Japanese Eighth Squadron.

"It's going to be bad!"

In the heavy fort on the right flank, including Ma Yukun, all the Yi soldiers looked at the Japanese troops who had rushed to the edge of the trench, as well as the large group of Japanese troops swarming in the distance.

Everyone's heads were 'buzzing', and suddenly there was chaos, and the gunshots fell scattered.

"Qing Zhu is scared, kill them!"

Lin Jiushi raised his gun excitedly and yelled.

"Long live the Emperor!"

The Japanese soldiers blocking the north side of the right fort shouted one after another, holding Muramasa's single-shot rifle one by one, and shooting at the Qing soldiers who dared to show their heads.

"Bang bang bang-"

"Kill the Japanese people!"

At this critical juncture, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly came from behind the right fort, and with the shouting, a large group of red and colorful infantry and cavalry rushed over.

Everyone held the precious Mauser thirteen rounds of fast guns in their hands, and while rushing, they hit 'bang bang bang'.

For a time, the rain-like dense array of guns beat the confused Japanese army to the back.

"Brothers, I've worked hard, I'll give credit to everyone in front of Lord Zhongtang when I go back to Jinmen!"

With a loud shout, the Yijun soldiers in the heavy fort were overjoyed, and it turned out that the left military gate of the Sheng Army personally brought the men and horses of the pro-soldiers and horses and the pro-army infantry team to support.

"Kill these widows!"

Ma Yukun yelled.

"Kill these widows!"

The Qing soldiers in the heavy fort position roared angrily, bravely re-stood on the breastwork, and raised their guns to shoot at the Japanese troops in the chaos on the periphery.

"Yaga! These cunning pigs! ”

"Bang-"

Lin Jiushi, who was scolding righteously, only felt a pain in his chest, and it seemed that all his strength was taken away at once, and his hands and feet were soft.

There was an unbelievable glint in his eyes, and he looked down to see a shocking hole in his chest, and blood was gushing out.

"How could I, die-? I'm a hero, and I'm waiting for the emperorβ€”"

The commander of the 2nd Squadron of the 2nd Brigade of the 21st Wing of the Japanese Army, Captain Hayashi Jiushi, did not finish his words, and fell heavily to the ground and died.

"Captain, ah-"

Standing beside Lin Jiushi, the deputy of the team Hosoi Youshun, just shouted, he was shot in the head by a condescending shot from a soldier who noticed the Yi Army, and his brain, blood, and bones were splashed all over the place.

"Retreat, retreat! Ahh

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mori Yujing had just shouted twice, and was shot and broken in the thigh by a Qing soldier who noticed.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Second, the Japanese troops of the 4th Squadron were already frightened at this time, and as soon as they heard the commander's order, they shouted and fled back as if they were dead.

Poor 8th Squadron was tired and panting and carried the plank, and did not run halfway.

"Stop advancing, retreat!"

Takeda Xiushan, who was also running halfway, was so angry that he gave the order to retreat.

If these cowards can defy death and weld firmly around the trench, although they will pay a huge price, they will definitely be able to take the right fort in one fell swoop this time.

It's a pity that now the Qing army has regained control of the position, and leading the team to rush over is tantamount to death!

"Zuo Junmen, play beautifully!"

Ma Yukun had already run out of the heavy fort, stood on the chest wall and laughed: "Sons, quickly set up a longboard and let the Sheng Jun brothers come in." ”

"Wow!"

Suddenly, there was a lot of laughter inside and outside the camp of the right-wing heavy fort.
