Chapter 123: The Sailor Is Not a Ground Mouse
He Changying couldn't help but feel a little sad. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In He Changying's time and space, the military strength of both sides in the Battle of Pyongyang was 16,000 against 20,000, and in terms of weapons, the Qing army lacked artillery, but had an advantage in guns, and relied on the Datong River moat and Pyongyang Chengxiongcheng to defend.
Moreover, before the decisive battle, the Qing army had a good understanding of the distribution of the Japanese army's military strength, the marching routes and offensive directions of the Japanese troops from all directions.
The result was still a mountain of defeat.
There was also the previous battle of Chenghuan, the Qing army Nie Shi Chengjiang from Kang Xu Zhaogui's department, a total of more than 2,800 people, against the Ninth Mixed Brigade of Yichang on the large island of the East Ocean nearly 4,000 people.
The Qing army defended according to the dangerous terrain, and the Japanese attacked.
As a result, from 5 a.m. on July 27, Oshima Yoshimasa ordered a general attack, and at 7:30 a.m., the Japanese army occupied Chenghuan.
The battle lasted only two and a half hours.
In the Battle of Chenghuan, the Japanese army lost 37 killed and 50 wounded, a total of 87 people.
The Qing army suffered more than 100 casualties, and it is estimated that more than 200 people were reduced by starvation and epidemic during the retreat.
From these figures, He Changying can easily guess how scum the Qing army's combat power is!
It is estimated that at night, when they saw the Oriental soldiers rushing over in the dark, the Qing army also 'crackled' in the dark, and put two rows of empty guns indiscriminately, and began to think about running away.
As for Ye Zhichao's report to Li Hongzhang and the imperial court seen in later generations, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, and the sound of shouting and killing was in harmony with the sound of guns, shaking the sky and the earth, and the mountains were suspected of crumbling. ’
'Open the rifle, try your best to fight, the meteor is ten thousand ways, flying in the air, its sound is soaring. ’
Thousands of them were killed, the dead and wounded were piled up, and the blood flowed like a canal. ’
In He Changying's words, the whole TM is full of magnifying cannons, boasting, and shameless bragging!
There was also the subsequent Lushun offensive and defensive battle, the Qing army had nearly 15,000 troops, and more than 20 Krupp batteries on the peninsula defended according to the dangerous terrain, and all of them fell in one day.
In its battle, the Qing army lost more than 2,000 people, while the Japanese army only lost 280 people!
Then, for four days and three nights, the Japanese army carried out the 'Lushun Massacre' in Lushun to exterminate humanity.
Women were stripped of their chests, babies were picked at the tip of swords, and young men were decapitated, braided together, and tied to horses to show off their might.
The whole city of Arthur was full of gunfire, shouts, screams, moans, blood soaked the ground, and the streets and alleys were full of mutilated corpses.
He Changying's heart was almost out of breath, and he decided to work harder, as long as the sailor division was not lost, the subsequent offensive and defensive battles in Liaodong would not be so hard.
"After the military gate, you will bring the troops back to North Korea, are you planning to take a boat?"
"Of course, when will the land road be high and the forest will go? This time I am going to take the route that Yasuyuki has just taken; Haha, when you were in Pyongyang, Bo Xing was full of praise for An Zhi and told a lot of your deeds; Especially this time, if it weren't for Anzhi's sharp eyes, the fleet would have been ambushed by the Oriental Fleet at the mouth of the Datong River. ”
"Is there really a Japanese fleet at the mouth of the Datong River?"
He Changying asked fearfully.
Nie Shicheng nodded cautiously: "The merchant ships of the United States are near Qilin Island, and they met the Oriental Fleet that set sail for the return journey, and the number of merchant ships has been counted, a total of sixteen warships; The news came back to Jinmen, which frightened Zhongtang, and the sailor almost cut off his arm this time. ”
Speaking of this, Nie Shicheng's heart trembled with fear: "Your Majesty was furious, and ordered to severely reprimand Governor Ding who was not escorted by the whole division, and praised Lin Taizeng who changed the route, and rewarded him with a thousand taels of silver, a white jade pipe, and a fire sickle. ”
Nie Shicheng looked approvingly at the young man in front of him.
The writing is good, and he dares to beat up Western devils, and he is still one against four, but he is not timid.
For the scoundrels, dare to kill with a knife.
is a scholar, but he joined the army for the country and was determined to kill Kou.
And he has a sharp eye and can stand up for his own opinions.
Talent!
Nie Shicheng looked at He Changying, a young man, and really liked it more and more, and suddenly asked, "An Zhi is not married yet, right?" ”
“?”
He Changying was unprepared to be asked this question and shook his head in confusion.
"Can you deny a parent?"
He Changying thought about it, with her own slot temperament in Feixi, it is estimated that no family is willing to marry the girl to herself.
So he shook his head again.
"What does the daughter of a friend in the county have to do with you?"
"it!"
He Changying was asked so suddenly by Nie Shicheng, and his mind couldn't help but think of the shadow that he had been suppressing for a long time, and the shadow that overlapped with Luo Yao, he couldn't help but scold, and there was a trace of warm anger on his face.
"Huh."
Nie Shicheng saw He Changying's anger and thought that he was angry because he associated him with an Oriental woman, and she was also the daughter of Youpeng in Shan County, a major minister of the East.
"An Zhi doesn't need to be angry, there are friends in Shan County, and there are friends in Shan County, and his daughter is his daughter; As a soldier, when the road is uneven, he saves a weak woman, which is done by his husband, and no one can gossip; However, An Zhi has a bright future, and you are the future pillar of my Qing Dynasty, so I will try not to mix with these Yi women in the future. ”
The more Nie Shicheng looked at He Changying, the more satisfied he became, and he wanted to say what he thought in his heart, but he glanced at the trainee soldiers around who were listening with their ears pricked up and sneering, so he had to press his mind and wait for the long-term discussion in the future.
Damn, where is this?
He Changying glared at the smiling subordinates beside him, and decided to pick up the topic just now: "Junmen, if you take the waterway, it is not appropriate to take Dadonggou again." ”
"Why, don't go to Dadonggou, don't land in Andong County, where is there a landing site? I dare to go to the mouth of the Datong River, but does he Ding Ruchang have the courage to do this! ”
Nie Shicheng looked at He Changying puzzled.
He Changying said cautiously: "Since the Oriental Combined Fleet knows that Dadonggou will be the landing point of our army in the future, then they will definitely patrol the mouth of the Yalu River from time to time and find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with our naval division." ”
"Wouldn't that be better, to settle the fleet of the East at ease; As long as our sailors defeat the Oriental fleet, this land battle in Pyongyang will not be fought directly, and the Oriental people will escape from Seoul overnight as if their buttocks were on fire, and return to their turtle dens to lie on their stomachs. ”
Nie Shicheng laughed, and the soldiers in the vicinity who laughed all looked over.
"What if we lose?"
He Changying looked at the turquoise river and said quietly: "The form of the dynasty, the corrupt military discipline of the sailors, and the aging warships, I don't need to say more, if you want to come to the military gate, you should also look at it." ”
"If you don't fight, why should An Zhi decide to lose? The situation you said is there, but this is not the basis for victory or defeat, the fleet of the East Ocean is not much stronger than our Qing Dynasty, but there are a few ships in it that are newer and faster; However, our artillery has a larger caliber and a longer range, and maybe the warships of the East Ocean were sunk by the main guns of 'Zhenyuan' and 'Dingyuan' before they got close;
Nie Shicheng's eyes froze, and he said earnestly: "An Zhi, the imperial court, Beiyang, spent tens of millions of taels of silver for decades to build this sailor, so that they can fight for the country, not local rats!" If he doesn't fight, his entire sailor can be ridiculed, laughed to death, and scolded to death by the countrymen! ”
He Changying rolled her eyes.
Gotta count me too much!
This Dadonggou naval battle seems to be inevitable.
Let's cross the river.
I'm still thinking about going to Huangzhou, how to clean up a family of guards!
