Chapter 505: Counterattack Fengtian II
Speaking of this, Nakajima Tokujiro smiled and said, "Have you noticed, not only do they not have artillery explosives, but even bullets are not scattered as indiscriminately as before; Hehe, after cutting off the post road of these pigs, they have no bullets! ”
"Haha, if you can't beat Pujiabaozi, if you dare to go to Fengtian, we can cut off their food and starve them to death!"
Toyoichi Taniguchi laughed wildly and said: "Nakajima-kun, you and I have two squadrons facing more than ten times the Qing army, holding their positions and not retreating an inch, and they will definitely be greatly rewarded by the empire after the war." ”
"I'm thinking, if we suddenly push out that Makqin and that Green Cannon, then the expressions on the faces of these Qing soldiers must be very exciting."
Nakajima Tokujiro had a dark smile on his face: "I remember that there is an old Chinese saying, which is called 'the way of the other, and the other is the way of the other', haha-"
Throughout the small Pujia Fort, there was a lot of laughter from Tokujiro Nakajima.
Thirty miles east of Fengtian, Fushun.
Beiyang Military Affairs Assistant Song Qing, Ludong Songwu Army Commander Zhang Gaoyuan, Yijun Sub-Commander Ma Yukun, Song Desheng, Ma Jinxu, Xinfeng Army Commander Geng Fengming,——
The black pressed a large group of generals of the Qing Dynasty, standing on the frozen surface of the Hunhe River, looking at Fushun City two miles away, all with a headache on their faces.
The coalition forces arrived in the east of Fushun on the afternoon of the 4th, and by the evening of the 6th, they had been fighting for two days and launched two major attacks, both of which ended in failure.
Fushun is backed by steep mountains and connected to the Hunhe River in the south, and after the Hunhe River freezes, it is obviously the best choice to launch an attack from the flat and wide south.
Then Song Qing did just that, using 2,000 troops for the first time, carrying a fir ladder to attack from the Hunhe River.
Just when they crossed the Hunhe River and came to a distance of less than 100 meters from the city wall, the Japanese army stretched out a Makqin machine gun from the southeast corner of the city wall, and a Green cannon from the southwest corner of the city wall.
In the chain of 'da-da-da' guns, a large number of soldiers were beaten to death.
The rest of the Japanese soldiers were armed with a Mauser gun, and the bullets were fired at random as if they didn't need silver.
The lead bullets fired by the Japanese army's red-coat cannons, after hitting the ice, immediately exploded into countless small shrapnel, but the lethality was extremely amazing.
Often, where a projectile falls, within a radius of seven or eight meters, within a radius of more than 200 square meters, the Qing troops who have not had time to lie down will be shot and fall to the ground.
The 400 Japanese army relied on this combination of punches to suppress the 2,000 Qing army.
In this battle, the Qing army killed more than 150 people and seriously injured more than 20 people, but the weather was freezing and there was no effective medical care.
On the morning of the 6th, Song Qing immediately launched a second attack, this time using 4,000 troops, 2,000 to attack the south city, 1,000 to attack the east gate, and 1,000 to bypass the Hunhe River to the west of Fushun and attack the west city.
It was still stubbornly attacked by the fierce fire of the Japanese army, and was once again repelled by the Japanese army.
In this battle, the Qing army killed nearly 200 soldiers and seriously injured more than 30 people.
In just two days, two large-scale attacks, the Japanese army Fushun City was still standing still, and the Qing army on the right had lost nearly 400 people.
It is equivalent to the total number of Japanese troops in Fushun City.
In the camp of the Qing army, there was a lot of mourning.
"If you don't lay down Fushun, there is no safe way back, and you can't go to Fengtian City; This Fushun City is as difficult as a hedgehog! ”
Song Qing looked at the little Fushun City, and his beard was cocked.
"The key is their Green Gun and Race Electro Gun (Makqin) machine gun, especially the one that is too terrifying, 600 rounds of ammunition a minute, which is equivalent to two or three hundred guns gathered together to shoot at the same time, and there is no grass at the place where the bullets are strafing!"
Zhang Gaoyuan's team suffered a lot of losses in the attack in the past two days, and one of his cousins was also seriously injured and died, so he couldn't help but have a thorn in his words.
After listening to Zhang Gaoyuan's words, Song Qing and Ma Yukun's faces were not very natural, and they were a little red.
On the night of the defeat of Mukden, Ma Yukun specially ordered a sentry horse team to take away the two precious stun guns in the team.
As a result, when the soldiers swarmed out of the city, the ranks were disorganized, and the soldiers disliked the heavy machine gun parts and cartridge boxes that were in the way, and secretly discarded them near the city gate.
There are only two electro guns in the entire Qing Dynasty, although the electric guns on the Japanese city wall do not have the name of Yi Jun written on them, which proves that they were discarded by Yi Jun.
But this matter is only tacitly known to everyone.
Now that he has been stabbed by Zhang Gaoyuan like this, the face of the general of the Yi Army is not very good-looking.
"Since the casualties in the past two days have been too large, everyone will rest for a few days before fighting, and there are only 400 Japanese people left and right, and they can still turn the sky?"
Song Qing smiled and calmed the emotions of the generals and said: "Destroy the Japanese in Fushun, and then join forces with the left side of Yiketang'a, our tens of thousands of troops will attack together, and the four walls of Fengtian will have nine gates, pointing to the 500 Japanese army that can defend it!" ”
"The military gate has a point; Let's build the camp first, fix the igloo, and then slowly grind these Japanese soldiers to death. ”
Geng Fengming's new Feng army, half of them are recruits, not to mention the complaints one by one in the past few days, and because of this extremely cold weather, a large number of signs of illness have begun to appear.
"Haha, since everyone has no opinion, let's decide it first."
Song Qing knew that it was not only Zhang Gaoyuan's Ludong Army, but Geng Fengming's Xinfeng Army, which was the Yi Army under his command, and many soldiers were made angry by the cold marches and death-defying attacks these days.
At this time, it is indeed not appropriate to force it too tightly, and it needs to be done slowly.
Anyway, most of the Japanese are going south, and the Mukden Japanese have no reinforcements, and sooner or later they will be consumed alive by the armies little by little!
What Song Qing doesn't know is that the person who thinks of his opponent as a pig is often an out-and-out stupid pig himself.
If he knew, he would have killed one or two thousand more people in the past few days, and he would have taken Fushun City in one fell swoop.
Then the soldier pointed to Mukden.
Then the Left Route Army of Iktanga could directly give up attacking Pujiabao and go south to the combined forces of the Right Route Army of Fengtian and Song Qing.
The grain road on the back road is not to take the Pujiabaozi road, but to take the Hunhe River instead.
Then tens of thousands of Qing troops attacked the big city of Fengtian defended by 500 people, and the Japanese army could easily occupy it because of one or the other.
This is also why, Komatsuzaki Rikuma only has a reinforced brigade of more than 1,300 people, but he took out most of the 800 people, plus the precious four machine guns, and most of the red-coated light guns, and placed them in Pujiabaozi and Fushun City.
Fengtian, the palace of the Qing Emperor, the Japanese army Fengtian City Defense Headquarters.
"Report, Nine Cities Telegraph."
A telegraph soldier presented the telegram to the commander of the city defense of Mukden, Komatsuzaki Rikuma Osa.
On the 4th, seeing tens of thousands of Qing soldiers marching south into Mukden in two ways, Komatsuzaki Rikuma pondered again and again, knowing that he could not resist the southern attack of the Qing army, so he sent a telegram to Jinzhou, hoping that the soldiers at the Jinzhou telegraph station could hand over the telegram to the commander of Shanxian County.
He didn't ask for too many troops, in Komatsuzaki Rikuma's opinion, give him three more squadrons of soldiers, and he would withdraw all the troops of Pujiabao and Fushun City and defend Fengtian City with all his might.
