"Your Excellency, the Qing and Japanese countries have been good neighbors for many years, and they should have worked together for development and progress; However, it is a pity that the Meiji government of Ruguo has carried out wolf and tiger affairs with reckless force, and even met each other in arms. ”

Seeing this, although Dashan Yan did not agree with the slander of the Qing army commander to His Majesty the Emperor, he felt that he could still watch it: "In today's battle, the fallen soldiers are the bodies of my Chinese warriors, and they should not be violent in the wilderness. ——”

After reading the letter, Oyama Iwa handed it to the mountain land Motoji next to him, and fell into deep thought.

"In the battlefield of Dongxian Ridge in Pyongyang, the Qing army captured a family of guards and Shaozuo, and then sent it back to Yanjing to invite Western countries to watch the 'sacrifice of prisoners'——"

Saying the words 'sacrifice of prisoners', Oji Yasujun paused for a moment, feeling a hot pain on his face.

That's just a captain, and today the Qing army captured the captain of the 24th Wing, a lieutenant who is about to be promoted to Dazuo!

"—to make it known to the whole world; Today's performance of the Qing army is very abnormal, is it really for the corpse of the Qing army in the wilderness? ”

Oji Yasujun couldn't figure it out for a while.

"The Qing army is afraid of us! They are afraid of the Imperial Army's attack and retaliation! ”

Da Shanyan felt that he had figured out the reason inside: "The breakthrough of the Qing cavalry this time is to reduce the pressure on the military rations of the Qing army in Lushun; However, the infantry of the Qing army could not escape at all with only two legs, so they were now trying to make a good move towards the Empire. ”

The Japanese generals in the war room nodded one after another, if this is not the case, today's series of things will not make sense at all.

Just thinking about it this way, the Japanese generals were all excited, and it seemed that the Lushun Fortress was already within reach.

"Promise them; You can arrange this. ”

Dashan Yan said a word to Daji Yasumun, and then looked at the generals in the war room and ordered: "Since the Qing army is short of food, then starve them for a period of time, and then defeat them in one fell swoop; All units immediately retreated to the original defensive line in the Nanguanling area to strengthen their vigilance and prevent the Qing army from breaking through the encirclement and escaping again. ”

Tuchengzi.

Although it was only 4:30 p.m., the setting sun was already in the west.

On the long front, more than 15,000 anti-Japanese allied troops and Japanese troops a mile away were facing each other, and the senior generals of the anti-Japanese army standing in a tulou in Tuchengzi were all nervous.

In the absence of the complete integration of the Lushun armies and the withdrawal of more than 1,600 cavalry at once, the anti-Japanese army was absolutely unwilling to choose to have a general decisive battle with the Japanese Second Army now.

Now, Shen Zhaoao's sincere letter has been sent for more than four hours, and if there is a response, it should come.

In the distance, a fast horse came.

"It's coming!"

Chen Shijie raised his right hand on his eyebrows and looked into the distance: "I don't know if Dashan Rock will fight?" ”

"As long as Yoshida Kiyoichi is exchanged, and Dashanyan believes that Lushun is short of food, they will not fight today, but wait for Lushun to run out of food, and then fight a decisive battle with our anti-Japanese army; After all, now in the decisive battle, Dashanyan does not have enough artillery, and they are on the offensive in the cold and freezing, and they are not comfortable. ”

Shen Zhaoao said regretfully: "It's a pity, if we hadn't sent the cavalry to Liaodong today, Qu Desheng would have been able to stir up the Japanese army's position into a mess." ”

"Then it becomes a competition and consumption without any substantive meaning, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred; We can't defeat the Japanese army today, and if the war continues to stalemate, the losses will only be greater. ”

Lin Yunyu frowned when he said it, just three hours of strong attack, the anti-Japanese coalition army had more than 1,000 casualties, nearly 200 serious injuries, and countless minor injuries.

And that's not counting the losses of the cavalry regiment, which were not large, but not less than twenty or thirty killed.

In this war, if the purpose of assisting the cavalry out of southern Liaoning is excluded, the difference between the casualties of the anti-Japanese coalition army and the Japanese army is limited, and it is a stupid way to lose both.

"What, reluctantly?"

Li Bohu walked up to Zhou Dingchen, who was looking at Yoshida Qingichi with an unhappy face, sat on a log, and threw a cigarette to Zhou Dingchen and Huang Xingwu.

"White flowers!"

Zhou Dingchen lit a cigarette regretfully, took a long puff and said: "But thanks to the righteousness of the brothers today, otherwise our Huaizi Army battalion would have been planted; Besides—"

Zhou Dingchen's face was a little gloomy: "The 137 brothers who went, and the 9 who were seriously injured, such a large pension, no matter how valuable this Zhongzuo is, it can't withstand the silver given by your anti-Japanese army; And then there's the promise of land. ”

"Hmph, hmph."

On one side, the commander of the independent cavalry battalion, Liu Gongzi, with a cigarette in his mouth, sneered several times.

This time the cavalry regiment was expanded, and the two battalions of cavalry from Lin Yunyu's department and Wu Weiyang's department were included in it, and only one battalion of cavalry of the guard regiment was left in the entire anti-Japanese army in southern Liaoning.

Later, through He Changying's order, the rest of the war horses of the anti-Japanese army were gathered and merged into the cavalry battalion of Liugangzi, forming a cavalry force of more than 400 cavalry, which was directly under the General Command Office.

Li Bohu's guard regiment was also expanded to 4 battalions and 1 company, with a strength of 2,800 troops.

"What? If you have something to say, just say it, don't be weird; ”

Zhou Dingchen glanced up at Liu Gangzi, and said unhappily: "Lao Tzu didn't provoke your thorn, right?" ”

"'Can't afford the money given by your anti-Japanese army'? Eating our anti-Japanese army, drinking our anti-Japanese army, the military salary is also paid by our anti-Japanese army, and your soldiers who are killed and seriously injured in battle are also the pensions issued by our anti-Japanese army, and they still think about the land of our anti-Japanese army. ”

Liu Gangzi sneered and said: "Our anti-Japanese army, which one promised you the land of the Jiesheng Battalion?" That's the welfare of our anti-Japanese army; As a result, 'you anti-Japanese army' really raised white-eyed wolves! ”

"Which white-eyed wolf, which white-eyed wolf? How can this battle be said and fought now, and it is not all according to the transfer of the General Staff? ”

When Zhou Dingchen heard this, he also shouted: "In addition to the appointment of officers, there are also military judges and clerks who have not entered the army, and I did not say that they cannot enter, but the Ministry of Military Justice and the Clerk's Bureau themselves do not enter; Blame me? ”

"We only have 83 horses on horseback, which is almost useless in such a big battle, and if we can be incorporated into your independent battalion, I will raise my hands in favor."

In today's battle, Huang Xingwu's cavalry sentry is completely a spectator, but the huge force of the cavalry cluster concentrated on the assault, and the young man who has been riding a war horse for more than ten years is full of enthusiasm.

Wu Weiyang, Li Bohu, Ma Decao, Cao Kun, Qu Desheng, Wu Ruisheng, Qi Youwei, Wang Shizhen, Li Yuanhong, Lu Tiejiao,——

These people from the Renzi Army, Dagu Fort, Feng Army, Yi Army, and Sheng Army were just small sentry commanders like themselves a few months ago, and now they are all commander-level figures commanding thousands of soldiers.

Huang Xingwu, a young sentinel who is still enthusiastic and ambitious, is not envious.

"Okay, just wait for your words!"

For Huang Xingwu's sentry cavalry, Liu Gangzi's eyes have been hot for the past two days.

After listening to Huang Xingwu's statement, Liu Gangzi hugged Huang Xingwu's shoulders affectionately, and said with a grin: "Haha, good brother!" In the future, they will all be brothers of our cavalry battalion. ”

"This kid!"

A group of high-ranking members of the anti-Japanese army who were standing on the earthen tower waiting for the Japanese army's letter saw this scene and couldn't help but be happy and speechless.

However, this layer of tissue paper is just the right time for the willow pole to be so violently pierced today.
