Chapter 514: Oshima and Yamaman
And the mountain sniper guerrilla brigade of the anti-Japanese army near Anzhou has been fighting a winter offensive for a month and a half. 【】
Under the joint cross-attack of the seven guerrilla squadrons and 15 independent guerrilla squadrons of the guerrilla brigade, the headquarters of the 9th Brigade and its two remnant brigades of Yoshimasa Oshima, as well as the ronin 'Heavenly Blessed Hero' who was full of mountains, were beaten unspeakably.
Nearly 2,000 Japanese troops and more than 2,300 Oriental ronin were suppressed in the three cities of Pyongyang, Anju, and Bocheon, as well as eleven pillboxes on the post roads in their three places.
During the day, with less than one squadron of troops, neither the Japanese nor the ronin dared to go out of the city gate, even if they walked out of the city bunker, they did not dare to deviate too far from the post road.
At night, the Japanese army closed the city gates, strictly guarded to the death, and listened to all kinds of shouts and curses in the darkness outside the city in humiliation, and did not dare to show their heads in life or death.
The Anzhou guerrilla brigade also rapidly expanded to 2,000 troops.
The Anju Mountain Sniper Special Company, the Hwangmyeonghe Outpost of the Ma Yukun Army, the Shuifeng Guerrilla Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Army, the local Korean peasants who joined with hatred, and a large number of Taoist soldiers who quietly hid from Jeolla Province.
For a goal that at least now has no differences, condensed together, and fought with the Japanese army.
On January 13, the telegraph station of Jianlong Reservoir in Anzhou finally waited for the radio order, which had been silent for a long time.
In the name of the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Anti-Japanese Army, He Changying ordered the Anju Guerrilla Brigade to send no less than 500 troops to Shuifeng and Xu Rubu to join forces with the Japanese army in the vicinity of Pyongyang while continuing to maintain the winter offensive against the Japanese army in Pyongyang, and then began to contain the remnants of the Okusan Yizhang Division attacking Uiju and Jiuliancheng.
When the news came out, Fang Dahai, Liu Minghui, Wang Guanji, Qian Pengfei and other officers of the guerrilla brigade were all excited.
Does this indicate that the commander-in-chief has shifted his focus to the Sino-DPRK border, and is this kind of magnificent and exciting counteroffensive about to begin?
"It's snowing!"
With the shouts of a Korean warrior, everyone looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky, which had been cloudy for two days, began to sprinkle large snowflakes.
Pyongyang City.
Oshima Yoshimasa, the head mountain is full of two people, sitting on the tower of the Datong Gate, and below is the Datong River that has been frozen.
Cup after cup.
Drunk spicy wine, squeezed into tears.
It's all tears!
Oshima Yoshimasa's 9th Brigade, at the time of the Battle of Asan, was so beautiful.
After that, the 1st Brigade of the 11th Wing, in Dongxian Ridge and Lao Xiaogou, was shamelessly ambushed by the Qing army one after another, not only was the whole army annihilated, but even the idiot of a household guard became a prisoner of the Korean reinforcement army.
Then the main force of the division was first frustrated in the bridge of the boat, and then the 3rd Brigade of the 5th Artillery Wing with the army was again defeated by the Korean reinforcements in Zhisongyuan.
Because of these embarrassing defeats, his 9th Brigade was split into two divisions by the commander of Shanxian County, one was to serve as a humiliated city defender, and the other was to continue to participate in the Battle of the Yalu River with the army.
At present, his 9th Brigade is stationed in Pyongyang as a unit of the city defense army, the 2nd Brigade of the 11th Wing is stationed in the Anju area, and the 1st Brigade of the 21st Wing is stationed in the Boju area.
In the past month and a half, the troops have been continuously attacked by the Korean and Qing guerrillas, and have suffered heavy losses, reducing their strength by more than 300 troops.
The troops who participated in the Yalu River with the army, the 3rd Brigade of the 21st Wing of Okuyama Yoshisho, were attacked again by the reinforcements in Andong County, and suffered heavy casualties.
So the troops were split again.
The 3rd Brigade of the 11th Wing, after the capture of Mukden, led by Komatsuzaki Rikuma, began to serve as a city defender.
The 21st Brigade of the 2nd Wing, which was first stationed in Jiulian City, had just been ordered by the commander of Shanxian County to go to Fengtian and continue to serve as a city defender.
The remnants of the 3rd Brigade of the 21st Wing were under the command of Okuyama Yoshisho, and served as the city defense soldiers of Andong, Dagushan, Yiju, and Jiuliancheng.
That is to say, the remaining nearly 4,700 troops of the Ninth Brigade are all reduced to second-class city defense soldiers!
"Ziyo-"
Yoshimasa Oshima took a sip of spicy wine, and his throat was spicy to his heart. - What a humiliation and shame!
Seeing Yoshimasa Oshima drinking sip of wine, Touyamaman also unconsciously sped up.
However, compared with Oshima Yoshimasa's dry drinking and not eating vegetables, Touyamaman drinks more elegantly.
He is a glass of spicy wine with a grain of fried peanuts.
However, the fragrant fried peanuts, chewing in Toushanman's mouth, are like chewing wax, and only the spicy spirit of the liquor can make him have some taste.
Compared with the city defense soldiers of the Ninth Brigade, the ronin 'God Bless Hero' under his command suffered heavy casualties.
Because the city defense soldiers of the 9th Brigade rarely go out of the city in peacetime.
Moreover, after the bunkers along the way were established, the bunkers were generally filled with an infantry squad of thirty Japanese soldiers, and one hundred 'God Bless Hero' ronins.
In the first attack on the first day of the lunar winter month a month and a half ago, six 'Heavenly Bless Heroes' jungler squads were wiped out and 143 people died.
Nearly at night that day, the three cities 'Heavenly Blessing Heroes' Tangkou, who couldn't figure out the situation, sent a search team of more than 200 people out of the city to search.
As a result, one was completely annihilated, and two of them fled back to the city with heavy casualties.
After repairing the bunker, more than 300 ronin, inside and out, were attacked by these mountain rats and sniped and killed.
After the bunkers were built, those shameless guerrillas spent the night in the dark insulting, mocking, and harassing, and as a result, many brave 'God Bless Heroes' rushed into the darkness with rage, and then were devoured in blood.
Then, these Qing guerrillas forcibly attacked and burned down two pillboxes, and the ronins inside were either shot to death or burned alive.
So far, in the three cities of Pyongyang and the bunkers along the way, more than 1,100 'Heavenly Heroes' have gone to the god of Rizhao.
And what made Toushan even more depressed was that the brave ronins had almost all died at this time.
Only those cowardly, cowardly, and deserving of the wrecks who should have died in battle earlier, instead hid in the city, drinking wine, eating meat and playing with Korean girls every day, and lived an incomparably leisurely life.
"Ziyo-"
Toushan is full of more and more depressed the more he thinks about it, these 2,300 ronin rice worms have simply lost the face of the imperial warriors, and they should all be 'dead, dead'!
"It's snowing?"
On the city wall outside the castle tower, a group of Japanese soldiers who were in charge of guarding suddenly shouted happily.
Oshima Yoshimasa's indignation that he could not participate in the war is a great thing in the eyes of these ordinary soldiers who have not been brainwashed.
The reason why they joined the army was actually the same as the purpose of the Qing soldiers joining the army, that is, to be able to eat white rice without starving to death, and to earn money to subsidize their families.
Otherwise, there would not have been a large number of Japanese soldiers who refused to eat in order to save food tickets, and as a result, tens of thousands of people fell ill with beriberi.
The difference between them and the Qing Dynasty is that these high-ranking officers of the Japanese army are a group of militarist fanatics, who use military sticks to drive them to train harshly and abide by iron discipline.
Moreover, the soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty fled, and they were able to return home by land.
And if these Japanese troops escaped, they would have to die in strange foreign countries along the way, across the vast Tsushima Strait.
Therefore, in the eyes of these ordinary Japanese soldiers, instead of climbing mountains and fighting in the ice and snow for thousands of miles, it is really far better to stay in the city like now, with food and drink, thick quilts to sleep, and firewood to keep warm.
"Phew! It's better to freeze this pack of mad dogs to death in the snow! ”
"Let God punish these bastards!"
Yoshimasa Oshima and Touyama looked at the sky at the same time, and scolded almost at the same time.
