Chapter 277: Combined Forces

The ambush on the Yizhou Avenue ten days ago, although unfortunately did not inflict heavy losses on this Qing guerrilla force, but there are friends in Shan County who finally figured out the details of this army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's the damn reinforcement army again!

Beginning on September 27, the Oshima Yoshisho Division of the 9th Brigade, together with the newly recruited Korean security forces, began to carry out cross-sweeping raids on the vicinity of the Daryong Reservoir, Sunanyi, Suzhou, Pyongyang, and the Merge River and the Pyongyang River.

However, this cunning guerrilla force has long since jumped out of the area around Pyongyang City and Euiju Avenue and fled without a trace.

In this time and space, the deployment of the Japanese First Army against the Qing Dynasty began to have some subtle changes because of the three surgical local annihilation battles of the Korean reinforcement army in Dongxian Ling, Shun'an Station, and Zhisongyuan, as well as the emergence of this small guerrilla force.

The entire division of the First Army rushed to the Yalu River and attacked Liaodong.

It became the remnants of more than 2,000 remnants of the 9th Brigade, stationed at the key points of the city on the Euiju Avenue in North Korea, purging the guerrillas of the Korean army and ensuring the safety of the logistics routes.

The remaining nearly 27,000 troops of the First Army marched north into the Yalu River to fight the Qing-Japanese War.

Not to mention the unpredictable future trend of the war, in North Korea, He Changying only used a company of 100 people to successfully drag down the Japanese army of more than 2,000 troops, which in itself was a tactical victory.

And, that's just the first step!

"On the way to retreat, the reinforcement army carried out complete damage to the bridges and plank roads along the road, and General Lijian's 10th Brigade was repaired all the way, and it is expected to arrive in Yiju before October 20; The Fifth Brigade of Major General Daeqi Shangmin arrived at Suzhou tonight, but Suzhou City had become an empty city. ”

Major General Ogawa, chief of staff of the First Army of the Qing Dynasty, stood in front of the map with a bamboo stick: "When the Korean youths around the Uiju Avenue saw the imperial troops, they hid in the mountains, and the people caught along the way always took the opportunity to flee in large numbers; Knowing that the empire needed a large number of mules, horses, and oxen, these abominable fools hid their cattle in the mountains, so that the army's cannons could not transport grain and grass. ”

"Kill!"

General Youpeng of Shanxian County said coldly: "From now on, if there are people who escape, catch a wisp and be punished as a deserter, and kill them on the spot!" ”

The air in the room suddenly froze, and the generals in the room exchanged glances with each other, but none of them said anything against it.

"Commander, this can easily cause resistance among the North Koreans, which is not conducive to the empire's long-term plans for North Korea in the future."

In the view of Tamura Jardine and Zao Nakasa, the deputy chief of staff of the First Army, as a staff officer, it is their responsibility to prevent His Excellency the Commander's inappropriate orders.

Seeing that the chief of staff, Major General Ogawa, was silent again, Tamura Eszo couldn't help but stand up and raise objections.

"Yaga! As a staff officer, what about your brain? ”

Seeing that a small Zhongzuo dared to challenge his authority, Shan County Youpeng was immediately angry: "The success or failure of this battle to conquer the Qing Dynasty depends on defeating the Qing Dynasty and making the Qing Dynasty completely surrender to the empire; North Korea is a piece of fat in the mouths of the empire and the Qing Dynasty, and fat meat is used to eat, if they don't have this consciousness and disobey the order, I will order the slaughter of all the North Koreans, what can they do to me? ”

Hearing the words of a friend in Yama County, the eyes of the Japanese generals in the room lit up.

Submission to China has been a dream that the empire has been striving for for thousands of years; Just thinking about it can make people's blood surging like crazy.

"Now all the First Army has to do is to reach Uiju quickly and occupy it; Then attack the banks of the Yalu River, attract all the main forces of the Qing army in Liaodong, land in southern Liaonan for the Second Army, and finally occupy Port Arthur and create fighters. ”

Youpeng of Shan County looked at the generals with burning eyes and said loudly: "Once Lushun falls, then the entire Bohai Sea will open her chest to the empire, then the empire will launch fierce attacks from the northeast, Ludong, Jinmen, Shanhaiguan, everywhere, and completely defeat the Qing Dynasty!" ”

Shun'an post is forty miles east, ten miles east of Pingcheng, and Datong River.

Between Pingcheng and Shun'an Station, it is blocked by a large continuous range of mountains and mountains, and is only connected by rugged and steep paths.

The Japanese army was eager to use Korea as a springboard to attack the Qing Dynasty, so in a large area of North Korea, except for the towns around Uiju Avenue that were controlled by the Japanese garrison, the rest of the country was completely ignored by the Japanese army and left to its own devices.

The government institutions and ordinary people in these places were still under the control of Min Bingzao, the superintendent of Ping'an Province, and had no idea about the Japanese army on the Euiju Avenue thirty miles west of Pingcheng.

At this time, the soldiers of the special company of the Korean reinforcement army and the Huangminghe post of the Yi Army were stationed on the bank of the Datong River, ten miles east of Pingcheng.

Because there were several North Korean soldiers in the team, the exchange of the Korean army and the city was very harmonious.

Not only did the local North Korean officials respond to their requests, but even the people in the vicinity all have a smiling face when they see the Korean aid army, and the soldiers pay money to buy things, and every time the common people try to give as much as possible to the arms of the soldiers who aid the Korean army.

"According to the traders who came from Pyongyang, the Japanese troops left Pyongyang this morning and headed north, so it won't be long before the entire Yalu River is covered with Japanese defense lines and flames of war, and going back at this time is tantamount to throwing themselves into the net."

Wang Guanji narrowed his eyes and said with a smile to Huang Minghe: "Now Korea has become a military vacuum for the Japanese army, and it is impossible for them to station a large number of troops here. Our special company is planning to take root in North Korea, and we will return to China when the war in Liaodong subsides. ”

"Do I have a choice?"

Huang Minghe smiled wryly: "If you join the army, you will join the army, but it depends on how the adults arrange to return to China in the future." ”

"That's, that's."

When Fang Dahai heard that Huang Minghe agreed to join forces, he immediately laughed happily.

Let's not talk about anything else, just that Chen Erniu is worth such a big effort and hard work.

As for the futureβ€”

The regiment commander even dared to annex the thousands of men and horses of the Fengjun, Yijun, and Renzi Army, not to mention the forty or so people of Huang Minghe.

Besides, according to the tradition of the Qing Dynasty, there is never a reason to spit out what is swallowed in the stomach.

"Okay, welcome Deputy Company Commander Huang to join us to aid the Korean army."

When He Changying went south to the south, he gave him a lot of rights to follow, and in order to win over Huang Minghe, Fang Dahai immediately gave him the official title of deputy company commander.

"What's next?"

After this matter was done, Chen Zhihui was also very happy and asked Fang Dahai about his next move.

"Last time, because of my mistake, we forgot the regiment commander's advice when we were leaving, 'Out of nowhere, wandering, unexpected, don't fall in love, just run away.'" ”

Fang Dahai reviewed: "We shouldn't risk attacking a large force of the Japanese army, let alone fighting, if it weren't for Cao Lixing, our special company might have been wiped out!" ”

Wang Guanji said with a heavy face: "The special company was carried away by the victory in the previous stage and became arrogant; The regimental commander always said: 'The enemy cannot be more stupid than we are!' But we forgot about it without a trace. ”

"In the next period, the special company can try to divide the troops, break them into parts, and divide them into small units that attack the Japanese army; In addition, they absorbed the enthusiastic Korean youths and slowly stirred up the whole of North Korea, so that the Japanese army could not send a grain of rice or a bullet. ”

In your words, the future prospects of the Special Company gradually became clearer, and Huang Minghe was surging in his heart, and he was curious in his heart, what kind of person is this Commander He, who actually made the brothers below so convinced?
