When the Qing and Japanese armies were fighting each other on the right flank of the Pushi River and Husan, the 3rd and 5th Brigades of Japanese Engineers stationed on the outskirts of Uiju City, under the supervision of the Minister of Engineers, Hideichi Yabuki, nervously fabricated four new bridges.

Because the bridge erected at the first river of Hosan last night was still intact, after discussions between the General Staff of the First Army and the head of the engineer department Shuichi Yabuki, it was decided to build a new bridge over the first river on the edge of the city of Uiju.

It was used to divert 20,000 troops crossing the river to achieve the purpose of quickly transporting troops to the middle of the river.

The 1st Gangdu Bridge outside the city of Uiju will be responsible for transporting the four brigades of the 5th Brigade of the Japanese Army, the 6th Brigade and the 2nd Brigade of the 9th Brigade attacking Jiuliancheng and the mouth of the Sanhe River.

The first Jiangdu Bridge, which was intact upstream, was responsible for transporting the 10th Brigade to attack Hushan.

This time, the Japanese sappers learned the painful lesson of the previous time, and at great cost did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money, completely using iron wire instead of hemp rope to connect the bridge plates, and the bridge plates were all made of wet wood from outside the city.

And no longer like last night, in order to save trouble, directly dismantle the dry door panels of the people's houses in Yizhou City as bridge plates.

At ten o'clock in the evening of the same day, the Japanese sappers began to build a bridge at the First River outside the city of Uiju, while the 10th Brigade of the Limi Shangwen Division, which was responsible for attacking Hushan, marched in the direction of Hushan upstream from Jingbomen.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the 10th Regiment quietly crossed the first river opposite Hushan and waited quietly on the left bank of the middle river.

The Japanese sappers in charge of the Zhongjiangdu Bridge in the Hushan section, under the supervision of Masaka Masang Shaozuo, began to intensively erect the Zhongjiangdu Bridge.

At this time, the moon and stars are scarce, the river is sparkling, and the entire north bank of the Yalu River is dark.

The various units of the Qing army, which had been tossed around on the other side of the river for a whole day, absolutely did not expect that the Japanese army would be so persevering, and they actually began to re-erect the Zhongjiang River crossing in the original place overnight.

At about one o'clock in the morning of the next day, the erection of the first Jiangdu bridge outside the city of Yiju was completed, and then the downstream sappers were divided into two construction groups to erect the Zhongjiangdu Bridge almost simultaneously in the section of the Jiulianseong River and the section of the Sanhekou River.

At four o'clock in the morning, the Zhongjiangdu Bridge in the upstream Hushan section was quietly erected.

Immediately, six infantry brigades of the 12th and 22nd Wings of the 10th Brigade, with more than 7,000 troops, began to quickly cross the Zhongjiang River.

At 4:40 a.m., 7,000 troops of the 10th Brigade crossed the Third River and landed on the right bank of the Yalu River.

An Yeyanbu, a teammate of the 12th Wing, advanced from the left flank of Hushan and along the left bank of the Sanhe River, preparing to attack Hushan from the left flank.

At the same time, cut off Hushan and the right bank of the Sanhe River, in the direction of Yushugou and Weizigou, possible reinforcements of the Qing army.

The 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Tomioka Sanzo Division of the 22nd Wing attacked the Makinsu Division directly from the front.

The third brigade was to cooperate with the 18th Wing of the Niudao Mufan Division, attacking the upper reaches of the right flank of Hushan, in the direction of Chestnut Garden.

In this way, in the Hushan battlefield, Ma Jinxu's three battalions of infantry and one battalion of crippled artillery, about 1,800 troops, will face the joint attack of five infantry brigades of the 10th Brigade and more than 6,000 Japanese troops.

The Wu Yi Army, which is less than 2,000 troops under Nie Shicheng in Liziyuan, will face the attack of the 10th and 5th Brigades of the Japanese Army, a total of 11 squadrons, and more than 2,200 Japanese troops.

At about five o'clock in the morning, when the fog was rising, the soldiers of Ma Jinxu's troops who were on guard at the foot of the river in front of Hushan were the first to discover in horror that a large number of Japanese troops were coming.

"Bang bang—"

"The Japanese soldiers are coming, the Japanese soldiers are coming!"

Several Qing soldiers in charge of the guard fled backwards shouting while shooting one after another.

The heavy fog immediately hid the figures of the fleeing Qing soldiers.

"Attack! Attack! ”

Seeing that the Qing army had discovered the traces of the troops, the captain of the three major teams of the 22nd Wing, Mihara Shigeo Shaoza, roared and gave the order to attack.

"The Japanese soldiers are coming, the Japanese soldiers are coming!"

"Call me!"

Suddenly, there was a shout on the slopes of the Hushan River, and in the vast white fog, the Qing troops on the top of the mountain rushed to the tents of the troops, holding rifles and shooting blindly down the mountain.

The battle for Tiger Mountain immediately unfolded fiercely.

In the vast fog, hearing the fire in the direction of Hushan, Major General Kuroda Hissataka, the head of the artillery who stayed in the Japanese artillery position, immediately ordered the 3rd and 5th Artillery Wings to shell Jiulian City according to the previously corrected trajectory.

In the fierce and sudden artillery fire, the Ming army who blew up Jiulian City cried and shouted that his father and mother had nowhere to hide, and in the vast white fog, he didn't even know where to blow up the artillery to return fire.

At 5:20 a.m., with the completion of the Zhongjiangdu Bridge in the Jiuliancheng River section, the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was responsible for attacking Jiuliancheng, began to cross the Zhongjiangdu Bridge in the Jiuliancheng River section.

At 5:40 a.m., the vanguard of the 6th Brigade waded through the 3rd River on the bank of Jiulian City and landed on the right bank of the Yalu River.

On the way ashore, the 6th Brigade accidentally touched the dry mines planted by the Ming Army along the river bank several times, killing and wounding more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.

However, the shells and vast white fog poured by the Japanese army on Jiulian City drowned out all movement.

And the Ming army soldiers who were supposed to be on duty on the wall of Jiulian City, because they were afraid of the power of the cannonballs, had already fled from the city tower and hid in the city shivering.

Therefore, until the Sixth Brigade arrived outside the Ninth Company, the Ming Army in the city did not find anything.

"What a bunch of stupid pigs in captivity!"

Major General Hisunao Oshima, commander of the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Army, stood in front of Jiulian Castle, looked at Jiulian Castle, which was shrouded in artillery fire and fog, and began to issue orders.

"Tell Minister Kuroda that our army will encircle Jiulian Castle together, and please suspend artillery attacks; The 7th Wing established a defensive line in the direction of the Danghe River in the east and Weizigou in the north, and the 19th Wing was responsible for the remaining two directions, and the wire team immediately looked for the telegraph line and cut it off; My request is that not a single mouse will be allowed to slip out of Nine Links City! ”

"Hey!"

The Japanese generals of the 6th Brigade roared in unison, and their voices were full of pride and pride.

About an hour later, at about 6:30 in the morning, in the vast fog, the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Army completed the encirclement of the entire Jiulian City on all sides.

At this time, the city of Jiulian was full of houses that had been ignited by artillery fire, and the fog was accompanied by billowing black smoke, raging in the city.

Liu Shengxiu and his 4,000 Ming army have already become turtles in the urn, and they don't even know it, and they hide in places that they think are a little safer, and they don't dare to show up a little probe.

At the same time, the 6th Wing, the 2nd Brigade of the 18th Wing, the 3rd Brigade of the 11th Wing, and the 2nd Brigade of the 21st Wing of the 9th Brigade, which had just crossed the river, totaled more than 7,000 troops.

In the thick fog, they began to launch a sneak attack on the 2,000 Yi troops of the Ma Yukun Department of Yushugou on the right bank of the Rang River.

When the gunfire rang out in the direction of Hushan last night, Song Qing hurriedly sent his own soldiers to order Ma Yukun, Song Desheng, and Liu Sheng to rest the troops, and asked to send troops across the Shan River after dawn to reinforce Hushan.

In this way, while the generals of the Yi Army were anxiously waiting, the gunfire in the direction of Hushan rang out until dawn.

The artillery fire of the Japanese army on the other side of the river has always been bombarding Jiulian City from time to time, and it was not until not long ago that it gradually stopped.
