Chapter 443: Shui Feng Falls II

At this time, the water is abundant, calm like a paradise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the mottled snow-covered land, a company camp was built outside the city of Shuifeng, and on the playground between the barracks, 2,000 North Korean soldiers lined up in 60 small squares to receive training from instructors of the Korean reinforcement army in platoons.

On the playground, all kinds of slogans and shouts came and went, one after another, in the early morning over Shuifeng City, rolling echoes.

In Shuifeng City, the original reinforcement army had a logistics department led by Xu Ru, with a total of 105 soldiers, and a cavalry company led by Liu Guangyan and Zhang Jingjing, with a total of 156 people.

The 60 cavalry of the original Lin Yunyu battalion were stationed in Shuozhou City.

After the opening of the route in Shuifeng and Anzhou, a large number of military resources of the logistics department were continuously transported to the Jianlong Reservoir, because Shuifeng has been quiet, so there are already 53 soldiers of the logistics department and 31 cavalry of Liu Guangyan's department, and they have not turned back when they went to Anzhou.

After the logistics department distributed the guns to the DPRK army, all that was left in stock was some medicinal herbs and nearly 300,000 catties of grain.

In this way, the rhythm of the entire Shuifeng City suddenly slowed down, and there seemed to be nothing worth doing except for the whole day of training.

At the time of Anzhou, the Korean reinforcement army had just absorbed more than 1,000 Feng troops, as well as a few hundred Yi troops and Renzi troops, and the military strength expanded to 2,300 people.

There were about 2,000 rifles in their hands, as well as a large amount of food purchased in Pyongyang.

At that time, He Changying, who only had more than 2,000 troops, was far from the current general pattern of confrontation with the Japanese army.

In his design, the Korean reinforcements traveled thousands of miles to Port Arthur, just to hinder the advance speed of the Japanese Second Army along the way, and the idea was to withdraw the people of Port Arthur.

Then the troops moved north and returned to the front line of the Yalu River to fight.

When the Japanese First Army fell into Motianling, Saimaji, and the south of Haicheng, the reinforcement army relied on the military funds of Shuifeng, united with the Korean army, and attacked and harassed, Yiju, Jiuliancheng, and Andong on the first line.

Such repeated lightning-fast attacks depleted a large number of Japanese troops and military reserves, and made it impossible for the Japanese army to concentrate on attacking Yingkou and Haicheng.

The First Army of the Japanese Army could not achieve its goal of feeding the war with war, and had to transport military supplies by land to maintain its offensive strength in Liaodong.

In the Fanghai Department in the Anzhou area, they took the opportunity to attack the logistics team of the Japanese army along the way, so that the Japanese army, which was deep in the snow nest in Liaodong, was short of food, medicine, and bullets and shells.

In a winter's time, the First Army was slowly dragged to death.

In this way, the war situation in Liaodong made the Japanese army even have to transfer a large number of Lushun's Second Army to Liaodong for reinforcements, and it was basically unable to open up the Ludong battlefield.

Through these small means, the entire Liaodong was turned into a mess, and little by little, the silkworms consumed the meager national strength of the Japanese army.

As long as they can hold out until the beginning of the spring of next year, a large number of Qing troops pouring into Liaodong from all over the country, although they dare not say a counteroffensive, can always achieve the goal of stirring up the Japanese army in Liaodong into a big organization and making a mess.

Then the Korean reinforcement army and the Korean coalition army tried to eat the two brigades of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese army stationed in Anju and Pyongyang, and once again put the whole of North Korea in the hands of the Qing army.

He Changying estimated that by that time, the economy of the East could be said to have completely collapsed, and peace talks, withdrawing troops, and finding a way to extort a little more money from the Qing Dynasty were the wisest choices for Muren.

However, when He Changying was wrapped in 6,000 Sheng troops and 2,000 Renzi troops, all the way to the south, after some dazzling calculations, annexation, and battle, the direct military strength quickly swelled to 12,000 people.

Plus a thousand new troops arrived from Jinmen.

There are also Xu Bangdao's 3,000 Gong Guards, and Jiang Zikang's other two battalions of 1,000 Renzi Army, which made He Changying's mood change a lot, and he decided to defend Lushun to the death, and then look for an opportunity to defeat the Japanese Second Army.

In this way, although He Changying is reluctant to admit it, the reinforcement army in Shuifeng City is actually equivalent to a temporarily discarded outcast.

And now there are friends in Shan County who quickly captured Yingkou, Gaizhou, and Haicheng.

Unless Muhito and Ito Hirobumi are crazy, they will choose to remove Yama Prefecture Youpeng and abandon Mukden, which is close at hand, when Dashan Rock is blocked by Dalian Bay.

It is conceivable that in a few days, the first army of the Japanese army will take Liaoyang and Mukden.

In Liaoyang, in Fengtian City, a large number of materials left by the Qing army can fully realize the battle of Youpeng in Shanxian County this winter.

They will no longer travel thousands of miles by land to North Korea and work hard to transport supplies.

Then, the troops in Shuifeng City, including Fang Haibu outside Anzhou City, have no direction to move for the time being.

Now, He Changying gradually realized that because of his appearance, the trend of the entire Sino-Japanese War may have completely changed.

It is no longer the same as Ito Hirobumi's design, constantly attacking the Qing army in the northeast, occupying Lushun in southern Liaoning, and then landing in Weihaiwei in the spring of next year, eliminating the Beiyang Naval Division, and forcing the Qing to submit to peace talks.

Instead, it is more inclined to the improved version of the three strategies of the Shan County Youpeng Zhengqing.

——Capture Mukden, establish a base area, and then go south to Shanhaiguan, and finally realize the battle with the Qing Dynasty, completely surrender to the Qing government, and force the signing of the alliance under the city.

One is to surrender to the peace talks, and the other is to surrender and sign the contract, and the difference of a few words has already involved the essential change of the Japanese army's combat policy towards the Qing Dynasty.

This is also why He Changying wants to go to Shanhaiguan, which really makes it easy for the Japanese First Army to knock on the pass and force the Qing Dynasty to sign an alliance under the city, which is obviously something He Changying is even more unwilling to see.

Therefore, for the two small teams on the North Korean side, He Changying is now powerless to take care of them at all.

His telegram to Fang Dahai was that starting from November 1, the Japanese army outside Anju, Pyongyang, and Boju would be flexibly cleared of small units, and finally the Oshima Yoshima Department would be completely compressed within the three cities.

In Shuifeng, because the Korean aid army only helped Min Bingzao, Min Yongjun formed the Korean army, and did not have any involvement in the command of the army.

Moreover, in the face of a large number of Japanese troops entrenched on the front line of the Yalu River, He Changying did not want to expose the existence of this army friendly to China because of the frequent movements of the reinforcement army.

Therefore, He Changying asked Fang Dahai to give it to Liu Guangyan, and the order conveyed by Xu Ru was to continue to stand by.

Because of He Changying's order, Shui Feng and Shuozhou's reinforcement army had a depressed feeling of being abandoned from top to bottom.

Liu Guangyan dragged Zhang Jingjing to drink sullen wine all day long, and the guard posts of the troops also repeatedly moved towards the harvest of water.

At this time, in the cold morning of November 27 in the Western calendar, the infantry of the four squadrons of the Japanese Okuyama Yoshisho Division and the Yamaguchi Keizo Division began to launch a fierce attack on the Korean military camp outside Suphong Castle from three directions.

The Korean recruits, who had never experienced a battle, were soon in a mess, and the reinforcements of nearly 100 cavalry companies mixed in with it, shouting the few troops that had barely been organized, were immediately dispersed by the fierce fire of the Japanese army.

In just ten minutes, the 2,000 Korean troops in the barracks outside the city either raised their hands and squatted in surrender, or fled in all directions like wild ducks in the mountains.

The soldiers and instructors of the cavalry company of the Korean reinforcement army had no choice but to shoot while retreating to Shuifeng City.

By the time Liu Guangyan, who was still sleeping, heard the gunshots and ran into the streets, a large number of Japanese troops had already rushed into Shuifeng City.

The streets of the city were full of North Korean troops and civilians fleeing towards the rest of the city gates.
