According to Chen Zhong's deployment, Lei Yang, the commander of the 2nd Division, sang an empty city plan at Wonju City, with the aim of luring the Japanese army into the pocket they had set up in advance between Icheon and Chuncheon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Two platoons of troops were left in Wonju City, and they put some broken and scrapped cannons, as well as some scrap copper and iron, on an open land outside Wonju City.

The soldiers of Yuanzhou City placed some scarecrows around these cannons, and the scarecrows were wearing the uniforms of the Hainan army.

From a distance, these discarded cannons and those delicately placed scarecrows are enough for the strength of an artillery regiment.

Taro Itahara, the captain of the 78th Artillery Wing of the Japanese Army, carefully watched the movements of the Hainan defenders outside the city of Chahara Prefecture with a telescope.

Itahara Taro saw the Hainan defenders on the city wall, sparsely and leisurely, he was very puzzled.

Itahara thought that it stands to reason that the defenders of Wonju should not be like this. This time, General Youpeng of Yama County mobilized a large number of men and horses to come to Wonju with great fanfare, and his purpose was to create a great momentum. In addition to aiding Seoul, it is more important to deter the army in Hainan.

Because Hainan is currently facing a domestic war, it is unlikely that a large number of troops will be sent to North Korea. If they had learned that the Japanese army was massing towards Seoul, they should have been nervous.

Itahara Taro gasped through the telescope when he saw a huge artillery group waiting for more than a mile outside the castle of Haraju. It turned out that the Hainan defenders of Yuanzhou City deliberately created this kind of leisurely atmosphere, with the purpose of paralyzing them!

"Itahara Daisa, we seem to be making a bit of a fuss." Lin Shigeru, the chief of staff of the wing, said with a smile, "The Hainan defenders in Yuanju City seem to be still dreaming. It seems to me that we will only need a few dozen shells to take Wonju City. ”

"Yaga! Bastard! Look at what is in the fortifications in the south of Wonju City. Itahara yelled.

Shigeru Kojima immediately stood in front of Taro Itahara and said respectfully, "Itahara Daisa, I'm sorry, I may have said a little too much." After speaking, he looked in the direction of Itahara Taro's finger and found a full 300 wild mountain cannons standing in an orderly manner outside Wonju City.

"Itahara Osa, I found their artillery positions, but these cannons are too densely placed for artillery battles, and at the same time, if they are shelled by the opponent, the losses will be great," said Kojima. ”

Itahara Taro, pondering for a while, said with a smile: "All signs indicate that these Hainan defenders in Wonju are too light on the enemy. Maybe they had a smooth journey, and a little bit of victory carried them away. Then let's let these Hainan turtles taste our Japanese artillery today. Kojima Shaoza ordered the artillery of our army to start the first round of attacks on the artillery positions of the Hainan defenders outside the city of Yuanju! ”

Under the order of Taro Itahara, nearly 100 cannons of the 78th Artillery Wing of the Japanese Army began to bombard the artillery positions outside the city of Wonju.

More than a dozen wild mountain cannons hidden between these scrap copper and rotten iron also began to fire back, and in an instant, there was a burst of fire outside Wonju City.

Itahara Taro saw through the binoculars that the artillery group on the artillery position outside Wonju Castle had been blown apart, and some artillery had begun to flee into Wonju Castle.

Itahara Taro laughed out loud and said, "I didn't expect that the Hainan army would be so vulnerable to you!" Far beyond my imagination. Kojima Shaosa, we can have lunch in Wonju Fortress at noon, and we can march to Seoul in the afternoon. ”

Shigeru Kojima said: "Itahara Daisa, you are so brave, General Yama will definitely reward you!" The bunch of fools in Seoul, the strength of a division, were beaten so miserably by them. ”

"Okay, let's not comment more on Seoul, stop shelling! The 78th Artillery Wing is all approaching Wonju City! Prepare to storm Wonju City! Itahara Taro pulled out his command knife and pointed in the direction of Harashu Castle.

The Japanese 78th Artillery Wing, led by Taro Itahara, rushed to the artillery positions outside the castle of Haraju.

They saw that the fortifications outside the city of Wonju were full of scrap copper and rotten iron that had been blown up, and there were no more complete cannons.

Kojima Hayashi Shigeru said with a smile: "Itahara Daisa, the power of our empire's cannonballs is really too great, look at these Hainan cannons, they are so inconsistent, actually, after our first round of shelling, it has become like this!" I really don't know how they managed to get Seoul into the situation it is now. ”

Itahara Taro said with a smile: "These bandit-like armies may be carried away by victory, just like there is a story in their country - Fan Jinzhongju's appearance, crazy. ”

"Fan Jinzhongju? Your Excellency, what do you mean? Kojima asked puzzled.

"That is, in ancient China, there was a scholar who took the imperial examination for decades and did not pass the examination, and later, he finally passed the examination, but because he was too eager for it, he suddenly got it, and he went crazy."

"Oh, it turns out that this is what it means, Itahara Osa is really erudite and learned, and Kojima admires it very much!"

Taro Itahara raised his head proudly, he felt that the taste of victory was so good! His peripheral eyes slowly scanned the artillery position of the Hainan army beside him, and he suddenly found a question, why was there not a single corpse of the enemy on this position?

Itahara Taro immediately walked in front of the scrap metal in front of him, looked carefully and looked at it, he stood up suddenly, he seemed to feel that there were countless guns around him aimed at him! Taro Itahara has realized that he has fallen into the trap of his opponent.

Taro Itahara picked up the binoculars and looked at Harashu Cheng, and on the city wall, a slogan was printed in Japanese: Little Japan, die!

Itahara Taro immediately brandished his command knife to order his artillery wing to retreat, but before his words could fall, hundreds of shells whizzed down like overwhelming fireballs.

The 78th Artillery Wing of the Japanese Army's Itahara Taro had not yet gained a foothold when it was already caught in a frenzied artillery fire.

Itahara Taro no longer has any breakthrough gaps, the artillery of the Hainan army has surrounded Itahara Taro, and the machine gun company of the Hainan army has begun to gradually advance towards them, and Itahara's artillery wing has completely become the target of the opponent's artillery.

Itahara Taro looked at his artillery wing in despair, and in the dense artillery fire, it quickly turned into a flying scrap of copper and rotten iron, and the Japanese soldiers were also beaten and fled in all directions, and his artillery wing was completely out of control.

Shigeru Kojima said, "Itahara Daisa, we've been fooled!" Let's quickly change into a common man's clothes and escape. ”

Itahara Taro raised the sword in his hand and slashed Kojima to death, looking up to the sky for a long time, and then slammed the sword that had brought him imperial honor into his chest.
