Chapter 199: The Battle of Pyongyang Twelfth
In Chenghuan and Zhonghe City, these Qing troops are so vulnerable, why are they so difficult to fight in Pyongyang City now?
There is also the reinforcement army, but with only nearly 1,000 troops, with the cooperation of one battalion and one outpost of the Feng army, they dared to swallow their first brigade stubbornly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It seems that this Pyongyang city is not so easy to conquer!
However, if Pyongyang cannot be quickly conquered and resupplied with resources, the military rations and ammunition of the Fourth Route Army will soon be exhausted.
At that time, what if the Qing army in the city launched a large-scale counterattack?
Yoshimasa Oshima couldn't help but shudder heavily, it would definitely be a huge disaster!
"Komatsu-kun, you supervise the various brigades to establish defensive positions in the Pine Garden, Shuiwan Bridge, and Earthenware Shop; Yongtian Turtle, you go to the artillery position in the sorghum field on the river bank, if the mountain artillery is not completely destroyed, you secretly pull it back, don't alarm the Qing army in Xibao; Okawai Shi wrote down the battle situation on the Eastern Front truthfully and sent it to General Tsuno to ask for instructions for the next battle. ”
After saying all this, Yoshimasa Oshima closed his eyes tiredly, and he couldn't stop a tear from flowing down the corner of his eye.
-- "This brigade will capture Pyongyang around 8 o'clock before the afternoon of the 15th tomorrow, and shake hands with the princes in the city to wish long live." ”
A voice sounded in Yoshimasa Oshima's head, how ignorant and proud he was at that time?
Shame on you!
Under the city of Pyongyang, outside the gate of Changqing.
When the Qing and Japanese armies were fighting happily at Jiangzuo Funabashi Chongbao, the left wing of the Japanese army, Okuyama Yoshisho, and the soldiers of Sun Xianyin's battalion were also firmly glued together.
The guns on both sides exchanged guns, and the fight was 'crackling' and lively.
"Shaozuo, if we continue like this, our bullets will be exhausted sooner or later!"
The 11th squadron leader, Captain Masatsugu Inoue, looked anxious.
Okuyama Yoshisho was also anxious, but the firepower of the Qing army was too fierce, and he couldn't charge at all when he pointed at his own troops.
Captain Sugiyama, the leader of the 12th Squadron, pondered and proposed: "Take off your hat, crawl ashore, and fight while advancing on the grass; Otherwise, this tall black hat is a living target. ”
Captain Sugiyama's words made both Yoshiaki Okuyama and Masashi Inoue brighten their eyes.
"Put the hat aside and move it to distract the Qing army; And-"
Inoue Masato shouted: "Let a very small number of soldiers still wear hats, virtual and real, virtual and real." ”
"Yo Xi, the first batch of hats to go up are all virtual, and the last part of the back is real."
Okuyama Yoshizhang happily added, it is really three stinkers who have beaten Zhuge Liang!
Under Changqing, Sun Xianyin also had a headache.
Although he successfully suppressed this Japanese army firmly under the shore, he was also welded here, and the Japanese rifles were extremely accurate, and soldiers on his side were shot and fell down from time to time, which was a great blow to morale.
"The Japanese are coming up, hatting!"
Seeing a group of tall black hats crawling up the river bank, the Qing army blocked the tall hats in the grass.
"Bang bang bang-"
Groups of hats crawled ashore, and then were broken one by one by the concentrated fire of the Qing army, but the hats of the Japanese still poured up, and the number of bullets of the Qing troops under the Changqing Gate became more and more frequent.
"Paralyzed, fooled, there's no one in the hat!"
A Qing soldier shouted in anger when he saw a Japanese soldier in the grass raise his head and shoot.
"Despicable!"
"Shameless!"
"Paralysis!"
The soldiers of the Sheng Army scolded angrily, began to ignore their hats, and went to find those who were hiding in the grass to shoot.
"Bang bang bang-"
The Japanese gunfire became more and more intensive, and the Qing soldiers screamed and were shot to death.
"He's paralyzed, and some hats have heads in them!"
A Qing soldier saw the forehead exposed under a black hat and shouted angrily.
Sun Xianyin felt that he was going crazy, and the dense bullets fired by the Japanese army were even more 'popping' and blowing up clumps of sawdust on the fence, which made people feel frightened.
"Two sentinels on the left and right come for reinforcements!"
Sun Xianyin yelled, feeling that he couldn't resist it.
"Shoot!"
Yoshiaki Okuyama lay on his stomach in the grass and roared, his heart was full of joy.
Some things, a little different angle, then it is a completely different vast world!
"My lord, will you get in? Otherwise, the gates will not be able to be guarded in a while. ”
A sentry officer was shot in the thigh, and with a shocking amount of blood dripping from it, limped and came to admonish.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers crawling densely in front of him, Sun Xianyin's heart was also afraid.
On his side, forty or fifty people have been shot, and it can be said that there are heavy casualties; The soldiers did not dare to stand anymore, and they all lay behind the wooden fence and began to empty their guns.
"Retreat!"
Sun Xianyin sighed and reluctantly gave the order to retreat.
"Retreat, retreat!"
As soon as they heard the order given by the Shangguan, all the Sheng troops immediately ran back with shouts as if they had been pardoned.
"All stand and run!"
When Okuyama Yoshisho saw that the Qing army was about to flee back to the city, he jumped up with a shout, and prepared to rush into the city in one go.
Then I, Yoshisho Okuyama, will be the first to lead the team into Pyongyang City!
Okuyama Yoshiaki was thinking about it with excitement, when suddenly a loud roar came from the north: "Kill the Japanese people!" Kill the Wouldn't Be Killed! ”
Okuyama Yoshisho looked in horror, only to see six or seven hundred gray-headed Qing troops rushing out of the woods by the river to the north, shouting while putting their guns down.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Okuyama Yoshiaki was so frightened that his thighs trembled, and he desperately yelled for the soldiers to run back to the riverbank: "The soldiers who retreated to the riverbank first immediately organized a defensive line and immediately blocked it!" ”
Suddenly, all the Japanese soldiers turned their bodies and fled towards the riverbank.
The form has taken a sharp turn!
After a 'crackling', thirty or forty Japanese corpses were left on the grass, and then all the Japanese fled back to the riverbank, where they rebuilt the defensive line in a state of panic.
And all the Qing troops who withdrew from Peony Terrace also ran into the wooden fence outside the Changqing Gate, and all of them lay on the grass and gasped for breath.
I was paralyzed, ran for more than ten miles in one go, and finally escaped back!
Sun Xianyin's troops had just fled back to the city gate, and when they saw the reinforcements coming, they ran out in a panic.
In a word.
At this moment, the Japanese army, the Sheng army, and the Feng army, all of them were tired and panting like cattle, and they were all about to be stimulated to collapse.
"Retreat!"
After the attack just now, almost all the bullets of the Japanese army had bottomed out, and Okuyama Yoshiaki knew that if he did not retreat, he might not be able to leave, and as soon as the defense line on the river bank was stabilized, he immediately issued the order to withdraw the troops.
So far, the arrogant Oshima Yoshima tribe organized three attacks in the eastern part of Pyongyang ended in failure.
The 9th Division of the Japanese Army suffered heavy losses!
At this time, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning, and there was still half an hour before the general attack of the Japanese allied forces on the northern front of Xuanwu Gate.
At Suzak Gate, the southern city of Pyongyang, Wei Rugui's Sheng Army and Ye Zhichao and Nie Shicheng's Luyu Defense Army had been fighting fiercely with the Japanese Fifth Division for two hours.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, with the roar of the artillery fire of the 2nd Brigade of the 5th Wing of the Japanese Army on the south bank of the ordinary river, the offensive and defensive battle of the ordinary river officially began.
The Japanese army had three infantry brigades, two infantry squadrons, and a cavalry squadron, with nearly 4,000 troops, crossing the ordinary river in four directions.
