Chapter 681: Tongzhou
Johnson Town.
The 8,500 anti-Japanese soldiers searched for half the night, but they did not clean up many slightly intact corpses.
Under the fierce bombardment of the heavy artillery fire of the Japanese army, the southeast corner of the city was blown into a hellish ruins of bricks, stones, blood, mud and flesh.
It's a bad winter, otherwise no one can stand here now.
It is no wonder that the recruits of the Dingwu Army who have never seen blood dare not come over to clean up, that is, the veterans of the Anti-Japanese Army, who have experienced the bloody battles outside the Guan, many of them are scared to clean up, and they lie down in the pile of rubbles with a 'wow'.
The vomiting was heartbreaking, and even the bile was vomited out.
Pointing to this progress, it is far from being a momentary breath that can be quickly cleaned up.
"Luo Huafei will stay, and give you six thousand taels of silver to hire workers to clean up, if it is not enough, contact the Dagu Military Station; Build a martyr's cemetery on the hill and erect a large stone monument. ”
He Changying finished burning the yellow paper, slowly stood up, and after squatting for a long time, her legs were numb and trembling a little.
He looked at Luo Huafei who was anxious to speak, and categorically interrupted: "Don't bargain, if you want to fight the Japanese army, you will have to fight it, and if you want to fight, let these soldiers enter the ground as soon as possible; Don't forget, your uncle is also waiting for you to bury him, and the orphan widow of Jinmen is still washing her face with tears every night! ”
Hearing He Changying's words, tears gushed out from Luo Huafei's eyes again.
At 5 o'clock in the morning of February 16 in the Western calendar, in the loud wake-up call, the anti-Japanese army camp stationed by the Tang River in Qiaoshan Town immediately became lively.
Cook on the fire, boil water, arrange firearms and utensils, and warm up with mules and horses.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, in the early sun in the east, the Jinmen Brigade, more than 600 wounded anti-Japanese soldiers, Jiangnan soldiers, Lu Dong army, Lu Yong, Ting army, flag soldiers, as well as a large number of various baggage, 14 artillery pieces, 2,000 rifles and Liu Kunyi, nearly a million rounds of ammunition.
Be the first to set off and march in the direction of Jinmen in the south.
Because of the carriers' artillery, wounded soldiers, and baggage, it is expected to take four days to arrive at the Dagu military station on February 19.
At 6:30, when the Jinmen Brigade had not yet fully set off, the main force of the 5,000 anti-Japanese army also began to pull out the camp and march westward.
The soldiers each carried only a rifle, a hundred rounds of ammunition, ten days' rations, marching blankets and bedding, and each was issued another five taels of emergency broken silver, and marched lightly.
At this time, the Qing troops stationed in the Luanzhou coal mine had just gotten up.
According to the plan, 2,000 Qing troops and 10 battalions of Dingwu troops will have to prepare for a day today, and tomorrow morning after the opening of firecrackers will be held at the oath meeting of King Qin, and the camp will be pulled out and marched westward.
Weihaiwei, drizzle.
On the morning of the same day, after the Qing civil and military officials who forced them to surrender, the Japanese army in Weihaiwei Port began to expel all Qing troops from the military port after they swore that they would no longer participate in the Qing-Japanese War.
Niu Changyu, Ma Fuheng, Yan Daohong, Weihai Wei Gong Sui, Liu Gongdao Guard, Lu Dunyuan, Tian Lingqing, Yuan Yuchun, Deputy Battalion Leader, Li Chunting, Yu Fakai, and more than 2,000 soldiers; Beiyang Navy Weiyuan Pipe Belt Lin Yingqi and 218 sailors.
It will go to Yantai by land.
Kangji Pipe Belt Sa Zhenbing, Guangbing Pipe Cheng Biguang and other 27 officials, 30 naval students, will take the Kangji that has been disarmed and unloaded cannons, carrying the coffins of Zhang Wenxuan and others, and leave Hong Kong in the drizzle and sail for Yantai.
The whistle sounded, and the Battle of Weihaiwei came to an end.
If it weren't for Ding Ruchang, under the repeated invitation of the Lushun Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Army, he ventured to leave Weihaiwei and enter the Lushun Fortress, the Beiyang Naval Division would have been wiped out this time.
Unconsciously, the history of China has deviated from the original sad track and embarked on a new path.
Although the track is now not very far from the original track, it seems that it is not very far away, and the silhouettes of each other can be faintly seen between the two.
However, as the wheel of history continues to accelerate, the two in different directions will eventually go farther and farther.
Until the world is different!
After the Weihaiwei Japanese army drove away from the Qing army, all the Japanese troops began to get busy, loading grain and various military supplies to the merchant ships anchored at the dock.
According to the plan, on the 16th and 17th, a large amount of military resources, including the 10 80mm rapid-fire guns, and more than 8,000 army troops of the 11th mixed brigade, will be sent to the transport ship.
Then in the early morning of the 18th, it set sail westward, and on the morning of the 19th, it arrived at the mouth of the Tang River at the mouth of the Tang River, 60 miles north of the Beitang Fort in Jinmen, and landed.
In Weihaiwei, only 1 infantry brigade, 3 infantry squadrons, and 1 marine brigade were left, with a total of more than 2,600 soldiers, responsible for defending Weihaiwei Military Port.
Tongzhou.
The sun is setting in the west, and the sky is nearly evening.
The sunny days for several days have caused the temperature in the area of Jinjing to rise rapidly, and the snow on the ground has melted, exposing the muddy ground.
The carriage walked on the post road wet and slippery, after nearly four days of hurrying, Bao Shide, Allinger, Wang Wenjin, Li Minchen, and a group of carriages and horses arrived at the Tongzhou Qing army camp.
When Bao Shide, who was freshly washed and refreshed, entered Cheng Wenbing's military mansion, he was extremely shocked to see that in the past two or three days, one person only ate one nest a day, and the three of them were hungry and half-dead and dirty.
Bao Shide, who had just entered the room, could hardly believe his eyes, and immediately shouted angrily to Sun Yuwen, the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Secretary of the Ministry of War, who was in charge of discussing the matter:
"The British Empire has gone to great lengths to help the Qing Dynasty seek peace, and your rude behavior is simply a group of barbaric indigenous acts, so I can't see a trace of praying for peace in it!"
"This ——, two envoys have worked hard all the way, quickly sit down and drink a cup of fragrant tea to keep warm."
When Sun Yuwen ordered Cheng Wenbing to invite the three Oriental generals into the house, he was also taken aback, but outsiders were present, so he had to glare at Cheng Wenbing fiercely.
Sun Yuwen, who now feels at a loss, has no choice but to 'play Tai Chi' and say: "Look, the three Oriental generals are all fragrant tea and dried fruit snacks in front of them, but they just don't eat them. ”
Hearing Sun Yuwen's explanation, looking at the untouched pastry in front of Hei Mu Weizhen, Bao Shide's face was a little better.
He looked seriously at Kuroki Weizhen, who was sitting upright, and said, "I'm sorry for my tardiness; General, if you have any requests, just put them forward, and within my ability, I will try my best to meet them. ”
Listening to Kamio Mitsuchen's translation of Baoshide's Chinese into Japanese, Kuroki sat meticulously and squarely with a thin body, looked at Sun Yuwen and said, "I just want to know where the 1st Army is now?" I want to get in touch with the 1st Army as soon as possible to complete my mission. ”
Sun Yuwen listened to the translation of the Japanese translation beside him, and said with a smile: "Your 1st Army is now blocked by our elite army of Dong Junmen in Jizhou, and it is estimated that it will not be able to come to Tongzhou for a while." ”
"Then please give Jizhou an order to open the road, let the 1st Army reach Tongzhou, I will take over the military power of the commander of the county county, and then lead the troops to retreat east to the Bohai Sea to wait for the order to return to China."
"Haha-"
After listening to the translation, a room full of Qing civilians and warriors couldn't help laughing.
- How do these Orientals look like stupid walls one by one?
