Chapter 348: Go to Liaonan
"What to do? Cold! ”
Li Hongzhang said angrily: "Since there was Song Qing first, it is not unusual for He Changying to see the wind and steer now, if you want to blame, we can only blame ourselves." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Li Hongzhang lit his cigarette pouch, took a puff of breath, and continued: "This battle has been fought until now, and the defense line of the Yalu River is no longer what we say, and people are just going through the motions, and it is up to the military department and the emperor to decide; Report all three telegrams, and be blind before you! ”
The signing room was quiet, and Li Jurong quietly saw that her sister's hands were all white.
-- Hard work, that's for sure; However, those ordinary soldiers are more bitter than me, for this family and country to be strong, no longer bullied, to suffer a little, there is nothing at all, this is the obligation of every Chinese, and it is also our unshirkable responsibility.
-- Many people do not understand me, saying that they cannot see through the behavior of our troops in aiding the DPRK, and slander us for playing tricks and stealing war achievements; I want to say, so many military exploits are sitting there, why don't you grab them?
-- I said that I couldn't see through our aid to the Korean army, and I had already made this clear in "The Scream", but their own selfish desires were too heavy and they didn't want to believe it; Look at others with their own dirty thoughts to figure it out!
"Daddy, it may not be like that, He--, Lord He, he is not that kind of person!"
Li Jingpu blushed and mustered up his courage, looked at Li Hongzhang and said: "The reason why he wants to go to Anton is to resist the Japanese and keep the defense line of the Yalu River; He-"
Li Jingpu's pretty face was dripping with blood from the surprised eyes of the room, although he was ashamed, he insisted and said: "Everything he did was for this country. ”
Li Ju looked at the girl with a snow-white face, and felt that her heart hurt like a knife stirring inside.
"My poor sister!"
Li Jurong's heart was full of sorrow.
Anping Estuary.
At 1:30 p.m., the commander of the 18th Wing of the Japanese Army, Masadasa Sato, gave the order to fight.
Immediately, the commander of the 1st Brigade, Ishida Masajin Shaozuo, led four squadrons of infantry to brazenly cross the Anping River and attack the Qing army position on the left flank on the west bank of the Pushi River estuary upstream.
At the same time, the five infantry squadrons of the 3rd Brigade Ushijima Mufan Shaozo also began to move west along the banks of the Yalu River to attack the flank of Hushan.
When the reinforcement army had just drawn out the camp and passed through Jiulian City, they heard a large number of guns and cannons in the northeast.
"There was a fight; If I were a friend of the county government, I would have ordered to continue crossing the river tonight. ”
He Changying glanced back at the majestic Tiger Mountain, and said with a smile: "Liu Shengxiu is still unwilling to move the nest?" Tomorrow he will be an old thing, and he will definitely run faster than a mountain rabbit. ”
"Regiment commander, where do you say the Japanese army will cross the river?"
Li Yuanhong next to him looked curious.
"I don't know,"
He Changying first confessed, and then added: "If I am a friend of Shan County, since this line of defense is full of flaws, then I will simply build five or six bridges, and cross the river at the same time. ”
After saying this, He Changying ordered loudly: "The whole army accelerates, go to Jinzhou!" ”
"Commander, didn't you go to Anton, why did it become Golden State again?"
Lu Zhaomei was listening to Lu Tiejiao talk about his great deeds of 'kicking the hall' with admiration, and when she heard He Changying's shout, she couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"Let's go to Andong first, but then we will go to southern Liaoning, and the purpose and final foothold of our reinforcement army is Jinzhou."
He Changying saw the confusion on the faces of many junior officers and ordinary soldiers, so he patiently explained carefully: "The Japanese troops who landed at Huayuankou, their purpose is not at all this Yalu River defense line that has been about to collapse, but the Arthur Military Port, and our task now is to protect this fortress gateway of Bohai Bay from being occupied by the Japanese army." ”
"Oh, that's right."
"Haha, there's another war to fight!"
"Beat these lappers to death!"
Hearing He Changying's explanation, there was a lot of discussion in the team.
"Commander, I still think there's something wrong with your words; You should still say, 'Speed up the whole army, go to Anton', or if you say that, I can also say 'speed up the whole army and go back to Jinmen', because sooner or later we will have to go back to Jinmen." ”
Lu Zhaomei, who was full of support, continued to discuss with He Changying very seriously.
"Hum—"
The team was churning, and everyone laughed and 'scolded' Lu Zhaomei, who could really fool.
He Changying rolled her eyes when she heard this, feeling that she was speechless by this nonsense guy.
Upper reaches of the Yalu River, west bank of the Pushi River, Tulouzi.
At 2:05 p.m., the Japanese army's Ishida Department took the lead in handing over fire with the Changzi battalion of the Qizi Army in Tulouzi.
The Changzi battalion, which was guarding the bank of the Tulouzi River, did not expect that after the defeat of the Japanese army at Hushan in the morning, it would launch another attack on the upper reaches only a few hours later.
Under the supervision of the battalion officer Chang Geng, the panicked flag soldiers barely resisted for more than an hour with the help of simple stone barriers.
When the Japanese army pushed the field artillery and leveled two stone fortresses in a row, the flying stumps and flesh completely frightened the Changzi army, who had only bullied the people and mountain bandits.
The frightened flag soldiers of the Changzi Battalion immediately blew up the battalion, leaving behind more than 30 corpses, and fled towards the mouth of the Pushi River.
At about 3:30 p.m., the Japanese Ishidabu completely occupied the entire Tulouzi, separated by the 100-meter-wide Pushi River estuary, and confronted the Qing army on the opposite side.
The fighting on the left flank subsided for the time being.
At this time, in the area of the chestnut orchard on the flank of Hushan downstream, the battle between the third brigade of Niudao and Nie Shicheng's Wu Yi army immediately began fiercely.
At noon, Song Qing, who was napping, was awakened by the sound of gunfire, and was surprised when he got a report from Goshha that a shootout broke out on the upper left wing.
Song Qing was immediately overjoyed, thinking that the Japanese on the other side of the river had been frustrated by Hushan, so he changed his strategy and wanted to attack Changdian.
As a result, before Song Qing could be happy for a long time, there was a sudden burst of guns and artillery in the direction of Hushan Chestnut Garden, and the artillery positions outside the city of Yiju also opened fire fiercely in the direction of Chestnut Garden.
Song Qing hurriedly ran to a high slope and stared at the bull's eye for a long time, only to see wolf smoke in the direction of the chestnut orchard, and the artillery position on the opposite bank was also said to be shimmering with fire, and black smoke covered the sky.
However, Song Qing looked at Liu Shengxiu's artillery battalion on the Jiulian City, and quietly held on to the artillery positions on the other side of the river.
Seventy-five-year-old Song Qing was so angry that he was like thunder, shouting that he wanted to have an indescribably profound relationship with the fifty-five-year-old Liu Shengxiu's wife.
At this time, Song Qing regretted stomping his feet again and again, he really shouldn't have let He Changying and his reinforcement army go west.
Wu Yijun, who was stationed in Liziyuan, when he heard the guns and cannons of Tuzilou, had the same thoughts as Song Qing, thinking that the Wuyi had suffered a big loss in Hushan, so he changed the direction of the main attack and wanted to attack Changdian.
As a result, after the gunfire in the upper reaches stopped at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Wu Yijun were still guessing the battle situation upstream, and they were shocked to hear the gunfire of the soldiers not far in front.
Then a fierce battle broke out.
With nearly 1,000 elite infantry of the Japanese army, coupled with the continuous smashing of artillery shells from the southwest, Nie Shicheng led the Wuyi army to fight extremely hard, and only after giving up two hills in a row did he barely stabilize the battle line.
By this time, however, the sun had begun to set, and night was approaching.
Immediately, Ushijima Mufan's third brigade also stopped the attack and took the initiative to retreat backwards and leave the battlefield.
Soon, the moon rose high and quietly shone on the entire Tiger Mountain.
The mountains are quiet.
