Chapter 355: Fierce Battle on the Riverside I
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
A group of cavalry of the Sheng Army, holding torches, yelled to drive away the hysterical ironclad mountain silks blocking the streets, and marched towards the north gate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sheng Jun is running away? Six thousand against one thousand, to escape, what a rat guts! Haha-"
Matsui Shinji waited until the cavalry of the Sheng Army left, and laughed happily: "Brothers, this is a credit for nothing!" The time has come for us to make a difference; When the Sheng army retreats, our brothers will immediately occupy the three gates of Andong City and welcome the descendants of Emperor Shenmu of the same culture to return to the Ming Dynasty! ”
"As long as you occupy this Anzhou City, in the future, the brothers will be the city lord and county order, and they will eat and drink spicy food; In the future, on the ground of Anzhou, our brothers will have the final say, and they will live in whomever house they want, and they will sleep with whichever aunt they want. ”
Mizuno Shin on the side is also fueling the flames on the side.
"If you say how you get it, the brothers will do it!"
A group of mountain ladies heard that everyone's eyes were red, and they shouted for cooperation.
Big fish and big meat, burning knives and small wine, which one doesn't want to enjoy this kind of comfortable day?
The white flowers are tender and tender, a beautiful aunt who pokes a stream of water, which man with a stick doesn't want to dance?
"When the Sheng army escapes, I will go to occupy the southern gate of the city and welcome the imperial army into the city; King Oye occupied the north city gate, and the mallet broke the sky to occupy the west city gate, and closed the city gate tightly, so as not to let the Qing army on the side of Langtou Town slip in. ”
Matsui Shinji's face was full of excitement, there is no doubt that when he returns to Tokyo, let alone a captain, maybe he can get the rank of Shaoza.
"Brothers, be careful not to burn down the houses!"
Qu Decheng hurriedly ran back to his cavalry camp, and saw a group of cavalry under his command lighting the horse gallery, and couldn't help but shout angrily and funny.
"My lord, you can put a hundred and twenty hearts."
The group of Sheng soldiers who set the fire agreed with a grin.
The tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers who landed at Huayuankou heard that they were coming in the next two days, who still wanted to stay in this 'dead land'?
Because one of the charges of Wei Rugui was to disturb the people in the previous court, this time the Sheng army burned it in moderation, just set fire to the ordnance and barracks facilities, and deliberately avoided the houses in the city.
Therefore, the fire looked ferocious, but it weakened quickly, and by the time the Sheng army brigade poured out of the north gate, the flames had begun to slowly stop.
"Take control of the gates and meet the Imperial Army!"
Shinji Matsui saw all the Sheng troops evacuate Andong County, took out the Murata rifle hidden on the wheelbarrow, and yelled excitedly.
Yalu River left, Matianpu.
In the quiet night, the abrupt firelight in Langtou Town suddenly shocked the Japanese army in Jiangzuo.
"It's the Qing army! There are so many people hiding in their upper reaches, is it to attack the Imperial army by lighting torches? ”
Captain Masatsugu Inoue, the squadron leader of the 11th Squadron of the Japanese Army, looked at the fire upstream in horror and shouted loudly: "They are a dead end downstream, and they must find a way to remind the captain that the Qing army is going to sneak attack!" ”
"How to remind, don't say that there is no boat to cross the river, even if there is a boat, it will be too late."
The leader of the 13th squadron, Lieutenant Nakao, looked helpless.
The squadron leader of the 12th squadron, Captain Seyama, gritted his teeth and proposed: "Use artillery to bombard the upstream, we will never fire artillery for no reason, I hope the captain can be vigilant." ”
"But with such a wide river, bombarding the upper reaches can only hit the center of the river."
Lieutenant Shigezo Takahashi, squadron leader of the 5th Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the 5th Artillery Wing, did not want to let go of the artillery in vain and waste the shells that did not have much in the first place.
"Bastard, at this time, how can some broken shells be worth the precious lives of imperial soldiers!"
Inoue Masatsugu was furious when he heard this, glaring at Takahashi Shigezo and yelling.
"Hey!"
Seeing the bull's eye staring at Masatsugu Inoue, Takahashi Shigezo, who had been a prisoner of the Korean reinforcement army, was timid and chose to give in.
However, before the artillery could open fire, the dark county town of Andong on the other side of the river suddenly turned red and the fire broke out.
"What's going on?"
The Japanese troops on the left side of the Yalu River ran to the riverside one after another, looking into the distance, and all of them were surprised and confused.
"Yo Xi, it was Matsui who set fire to the city;
When the riots broke out in Andong City, Okuyama Yoshisho, who was fortifying on the right side of the Yalu River, suddenly danced excitedly: "What a warrior of the empire, greatly good!" ”
"Captain, what are we going to do now?"
Captain Kazuaki Ohara, the leader of the 14th Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the 21st Wing, looked at the raging fires in the city and the fierce gunfire inside, and admired it with a face: "With such fierce gunshots, it is hard to imagine that Lieutenant Matsui only has more than 40 people, and there are only seven or eight imperial soldiers inside, and the rest are all mountain bandits from the Qing Dynasty!" ”
"We only have three squadrons of troops, and we can't attack Andong City; Be patient, I hope these warriors will burn all the food and grass of the Qing army. ”
The joy on Okuyama Yoshiaki's face gradually calmed down: "There are too few of them, and this riot will not last long; It's a pity! A few days ago, Matsui-kun crossed the river, and he should have been given more soldiers. ”
"Boom!"
Suddenly, on the Japanese artillery position on the other side of the river, six field guns exploded, blowing up a large group of fire.
"What for?"
Okuyama Yoshiaki looked back in shock, only to see that the cannonballs smashed into the middle of the river upstream in the quiet moonlight, splashing huge columns of water.
And the whole river was empty, there was nothing.
"Yaga! This Takahashi, who was captured once by the reinforcements in Zaesongin, has he become a fool? Why did you fire artillery to bombard the empty Jiangxin, could it be that there are water ghosts underwater! ”
Okuyama Yoshisho was so angry that he yelled 'Wow Wow'.
"Captain, do you want to cheer for the imperial warriors in the city on the other side, but you are afraid of being injured by mistake when you bombard this side?"
Ohara Kazuaki hesitated and said, "Although this is a bit of a waste of precious shells, it is not completely useless. ”
Outside the southern city of Andong County, by the city wall.
"These Sheng Jun are really a bunch of pigs!"
Li Bohu, who was quietly marching along the southern corner of Andong County, scolded and ordered in a low voice: "The third company of the second battalion will speed up and continue to advance with a low waist, and go around to the west to attack; Three battalions spread scattered lines along the city walls, ready to attack! ”
"Bang-"
At this time, there was a bang at the south gate, and the stainless steel gate insert inside was removed.
"Spread out, hide!"
Hua Zhengyin, the deputy company commander of the third company of the second battalion, who was advancing by the city gate, hurriedly silenced the troops and hid on both sides of the city gate.
"Squeak-"
With a piercing sound, the gate of Annannan City was opened in the dark, and Matsui Shinji led two Japanese soldiers and a dozen mountain bandits and strode out.
"Haha-, Yo-Xi, God bless my empire, empire Wan-"
"Bang!"
Matsui Shinji had just said half a sentence to his heart, only to hear a sound of wind passing by his head, and he was smashed to the ground by the butt of a gun.
"There's an ambush!"
"Qing Army!"
The more than a dozen mountain bandits who were shocked only had time to let out an exclamation before they were smashed to the ground by countless rifle butts, and one by one they broke their heads and bled out, killing three or four of them on the spot.
And the rumbling sound of artillery on the other side completely hid the screams here.
"What's going on?"
Li Bohu strode over.
"The deputy battalion commander is a spy of the Japanese army, and there are mountain bandits."
Hua Zhengyin's face was eager to try: "It is estimated that there are still inside, why don't you go into a platoon and pay them?" ”
Li Bohu glanced at the black hole in the city, and said: "Close the city gate, it is Hao Tiansheng's business inside, you are not afraid that your battalion commander will put on small shoes for you, just go in." ”
