"Battalion commander, according to what you said, why didn't we search the cliffs on both sides in advance when we entered this canyon?"

Peng Qianyan, who had just been selected as Shen Zhaoao's assistant, asked a little unconvinced. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"First of all, it's because we're in a hurry, and we don't have time to stop searching when we encounter danger along the way."

Listening to He Changying's first reason, everyone was disapproving.

What kind of reason is this, if you are in a hurry, the Japanese army can't ambush us?

"Secondly, Zhaoao, can you tell me?"

He Changying, with an elegant tone, asked for Shen Zhaoao's opinion.

"Second, because the positions and military objectives of the two sides are different, there will be completely different countermeasures;"

Shen Zhaoao instantly figured out the key and talked eloquently: "The target of the Japanese army is Pyongyang, so they need to rush to Pyongyang as soon as possible, and it is impossible to wait for the Qing army that may never appear in these mountains; Instead, they will be afraid of how to ambush them along the road. ”

"That's what it means, as the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, think about problems from the opponent's standpoint, and you will find that many problems will be solved."

He Changying nodded affirmatively.

When the team walked out of the sky, they marched through a valley with high mountains and gentle slopes on one side and steep cliffs on the other.

After about four or five miles of walking along this winding mountain road, the sky had completely darkened, and mountain turtle doves, rock pigeons, chickadees, and pheasants were all chirping among the cliffs.

After the procession had walked this section of the mountain road, there was a steep opening in front of it, a long stretch of two mountains between them, a very wide valley at the bottom, and the post road was covered with low shrubs on both sides, and the weeds stretched out into the dark distance.

He Changying took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, it was already seven fifty in the evening, which means that from leaving Huangzhou City, the team marched for nearly five hours.

"Battalion commander, Jin Gui said that this section is 'Nine Mile Valley', and there is a three-mile line of sky in front of it, and then it is to walk the ridge, and after crossing the seven mountain beams, it is the Heavenly Danger Pass."

Mao Chao, who rushed over from the front team, said: "There are often falling rocks on that line, which is not suitable for camping, and the mountain beams after that are steep and large stone slopes on both sides, and it is very dangerous to walk at night; Brothers are tired and hungry now—"

He Changying picked up the skin bag and drank a few large sips of cold boiled water, and said to Shen Zhaoao: "Order the whole team to stop advancing, and you let Guide Jin come over and talk." ”

"Battalion commander, let's fight here?"

Lu Zhaomei's face was excited.

"No,"

He Changying looked back at the five-mile slope that he had just walked out of, and said with a smile: "Where!" ”

"The gods bless the Japanese army to come over quickly, otherwise we will bring four days of dry food, these two days have passed, and everyone will be drinking in the mountains for two days?"

Lu Tie's legs spoke in a strange manner, with an unconvinced face.

He Changying smiled and didn't make a sound.

Soon, Kim Yongjun, the guide who had been sent to the Korean reinforcements by Min Bing-sao, the superintendent of Pyongan Province, in Pyongyang City, hurriedly walked over.

"Master Jin, is there a fork in the road here that can hide soldiers?"

He Changying looked at Jin Yongjun and asked with a smile.

Jin Yongjun first bowed respectfully to He Changying.

Regarding the battalion officer He Garrison of the Korean Army, Kim Yongjun, who was specially advised by Min Bing-seok before leaving Pyongyang City, did not dare to be careless.

A good friend of the eldest son of Li Hongzhang, the number one minister of the Qing Dynasty, and the battalion officer of the cadet army of the Beiyang Military Academy and the Sailor Academy, no matter which of these two identities is worthy of admiration.

If you don't know that the future is like Yuan Shikai's luxury, you don't dare to offend!

"Lord Qiyu, there are five or six forks in this 'Nine Mile Valley' where you can hide soldiers."

Jin Yongjun just thought about it for a while, and gave the answer He Changying wanted.

"How far is it from here?"

"One mile away."

He Changying suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "Let's go, take a look." ”

He Changying and the officers soon came to the fork in the road, and the area around the crossing was full of rocks, and there was almost no grass.

"Great place, this is it!"

Just by looking at this one, He Changying fell in love with this place.

If the fork in the road was full of bushes and weeds, the brigade would have been in a mess in the past, and it was obviously not suitable for hiding soldiers.

Under He Changying's order, except for a few people left by the guard team to pick up Yang Jiansheng's camp behind, the others immediately entered the fork canyon.

The fork in the road was rugged and difficult, walking through a long stretch of rocky road, and in front of it was a long wild road with bushes, and one of the soldiers was bitten by a poisonous snake, but fortunately the wound was cleaned in time and not life-threatening.

After walking nearly two miles along the sheep's intestines between the two stones, we came to a valley pit surrounded by mountains, where all the people would rest tonight.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Yang Jiansheng, who was full of disgruntle, finally rushed to the mountain recess camp with his battalion.

After waiting for Yang Jiansheng's battalion and the horse team to enter the fork, He Changying asked Lu Tiejiao to take the guards to carry torches to disguise the fork in the face of no one walking all year round, and Zuo Shangqing took the doctors from the field hospital to repair and accept.

"He Shoubei, you trapped everyone in this dangerous place, if the Japanese army really comes over and blocks the fork with guns, we are the old turtles in the urn, all of them are dead!"

Yang Jiansheng's face was angry.

Liu Guangyan, who had already figured out the situation from Yang Jiansheng, was also worried: "My lord, even the Japanese army will go to Dongxian Mountain, but who knows when they will come, have we been waiting in this fork in the road?" ”

"And we have only prepared two days of military rations, and today the soldiers drank water so much that some of their skins were empty."

Lin Yunyu also added with a cautious face.

"Tomorrow morning, the cavalry will ambush here, and all the infantry battalions will go to the ambush point to lurk."

After He Changying finished the first question in two sentences, he began to answer Lin Yunyu's question: "Today, when walking the mountain road in front of me, I said a sentence to Zhao Ao, 'As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, consider the problem from the opponent's standpoint, and you will find that many problems will be solved. ’”

Seeing that the generals were at a loss, He Changying said with a smile: "The information obtained by the Min Supervisor Division is that on September 1, the Ninth Brigade of Dongyang will set off from Pingshan and go to Ruixing Mansion; If I were Yoshimasa Oshima, then I would like to talk about the progress of the march of the 9th Brigade. ”

Anyway, He Changying already knows the result, and the next thing is to use his flickering Dafa to reverse the process.

"On the 3rd, the troops can arrive at Ruixing Mansion, rest for two days and start again on the 6th, Ruixing to Fengshan all the way is flat, and on the afternoon of the 7th, you can reach Shaliyuan City, Fengshan County, and then it is a day of preparation; On the 8th, it crossed Dongxian Ridge, on the 9th it reached Huangzhou City, and on the 10th, it moved towards Central and Pyongyang. ”

"This way has come from a distance, and with heavy artillery and all kinds of supplies, we must march with all our strength to reach Pyongyang City on the night of the 12th;"

"But the information Min Bingzheng got is that the 15th is the last date for the assembly, so there is no need to rush to the 12th?"

He Changying's tirade obviously failed to convince everyone, and Shen Zhaoao was the first to raise an objection.

"The 15th is the date of assembly of the last army, and since the Ninth Brigade is the head of the awl, of course it must be at least two days in advance; Since the 9th Brigade passed through Dongxian Ridge on the 8th, and tomorrow will be the 6th, then the advance team of Oshima Yoshimasa will have to come over the day after tomorrow at the latest, right? ”

He Changying's words, the flickering officers looked at each other.

It sounds very reasonable, but if the battalion commander can even guess this, he is simply a reincarnation!

"I won't say much more, I'll see tomorrow and the next two days, so I'll talk about the operational deployment."

At this time, under the faint bonfire, He Changying's ambitions were rising.

Thirty-four days have passed since that rainy night in Jinmen.

In these thirty-four days, He Changying racked his brains and ran away with time, and tomorrow was the first battle he came to in the first year of the First Sino-Japanese War.

Tomorrow will be the red of the bayonet, and the real chapter will be seen.

The process of rewriting the wheel of destiny of the Chinese nation will really start tomorrow!

Come on, Ichito Guard!
