Nogi Nishinori now looked at the screaming Qing army covered in artillery fire, bared his teeth, and laughed out loud.

In fact, he knew in his heart that he could not hold Pyongyang. There is no way to hand it either. Quite simply, I don't have any outside aid or support.

He has been given the full plan of the base camp.

The order given by the base camp was to defend Pyongyang without any supplements and support, and even if it could not be defended, it should be delayed as much as possible. The 1st and 15th Divisions were given time to attack Shengjing and coerce Beijing to sign.

Nogi Nishinori can finally become the god of the Japanese army, and he is also stupid, he knows that Liu Jun will definitely attack Pyongyang to put pressure on his own government.

When the 9th Brigade and the 12th Mixed Brigade withdrew to Pyongyang, he was surprised and calm.

Surprised, he didn't expect Liu Jun to move so quickly, calmly, he knew that the Ninth Brigade and the Twelfth Mixed Brigade would not be able to stop the Lushun Army. It was a matter of time before it was withdrawn.

Since the Lushun army has crossed the Xinjin River, the Lushun army will reach the periphery of Pyongyang in three days at the most, and what he has to do is to hold a meeting on how to hold Liu Jun.

It's just that he didn't expect that Liu Jun would use 40,000 troops to gnaw Pyongyang.

For the first time, Nogi Nishinori did not shout at the enemy, but convened all the brigade-level officers and held a meeting to discuss how to deal with Liu Jun.

The commander of the 12th Mixed Brigade, Tanigawa Yoshi, had the longest fight with the Lushun Army, so he had a certain understanding of the tactics of the Lushun Army.

The Lushun army's attack is definitely a carpet bombardment with artillery, and then it will launch a deadly group charge, ranging from a few hundred to thousands.

He thinks. If the troops are placed on the periphery, then before the war starts, most of them will be killed by the Lushun army, it is better to use all the troops to defend the city, and then just arrange some positions outside the city that no one will defend at all. Then the artillery was hidden, and as soon as the Arthur army attacked the range, it would be shelled, thus killing and wounding the enemy while wasting enemy shells.

This plan was good, so immediately Nogi Nishinori forcibly asked the people of Pyongyang to arrange a lot of positions made of sandbags outside, and also made a lot of scarecrows, and arranged a squad of death squads to confuse the Lushun army at the same time, let the artillery hide outside the city. And the main forces all returned to Pyongyang. Arrange positions in the city, once the city is broken. Fight with the Lushun army in the streets.

Now he was very happy to see that the Lushun army on the opposite side was wasting a lot of shells, and there were thousands of Lushun struggling in front of the position.

After looking at Hasegawa Yoshi, who was standing beside him, Nogi Nishinori patted him on the shoulder: "Hase-kun is worthy of me as a warrior of the Japanese Empire." Come up with such a brilliant plan. ”

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Excellency, everything is under the command of Your Excellency General."

Hehehe, when Nogi Nishinori heard this, he unconsciously stood up in heartache, put his hand on the side of the city wall, and smiled to enjoy this visual feast.

Outside the city, Liu Jun looked at the two regiments in front of him and now there were less than six hundred people left, and his heart was full of anger.

One regiment commander was killed on the spot, and the other was now covered in blood and was kneeling on the ground crying incessantly: "Commander, the brothers were hit by the Japanese artillery as soon as they went up, and many brothers didn't even have time to hide." Dashuai, you have to avenge your brothers, they died unjustly. ”

Hearing the cry of the regiment commander, who had now blown off one of his hands, Liu Jun felt uncomfortable, he closed his eyes in pain and asked people to send him down for treatment.

Secretly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, Liu Jun took a deep breath: "Did the artillery go up?" ”

Ding Ruchang, who was standing beside Liu Jun, hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Zhong Lin looked at the hill: "Head, it's almost over, now the ammunition is being assembled and transported." ”

"Good. Immediately after the assembly, he opened fire, took his artillery position, and avenged my dead brother. Saying this, Liu Jun turned around and walked down, he wanted to see these soldiers who had escaped death.

The hospital at the foot of the mountain has now become a living hell, full of screams and the strong smell of blood.

After taking a few deep breaths, Liu Jun, who came to the door, still decided not to go in, and he couldn't control his emotions when he saw this painful side.

called an old master in charge of treatment, and after Liu Jun explained that he did everything he could to save him, he turned around and left.

On the bare hills, but several guns have been assembled and, under the command of the gun commander, have been loaded with shells, waiting for the order to open fire.

"Ready, fire."

Boom, a huge tremor lifted the dirt from the ground. Then a puff of white smoke came out, and the shells were filmed in the Japanese drama artillery positions hidden in the bushes.

It was already early spring, and there was already a lot of dead grass in the bushes, and this round of shells hit it, and then it ignited the dead grass somewhere.

Boom, there was an earth-shattering sound, and then a small mushroom cloud rose up. The city of Pyongyang was red.

The huge explosion stunned Liu Jun, who was scolding there, and even more stunned Nogi Nishinori and the Japanese officers on the city wall.

Nogi Nishinori's face was now pale, and the cold sweat on his face kept falling. He estimated that the artillery was finished.

Sure enough, after a while, a Japanese soldier dressed in tatters ran over and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency General, the Lushun Army has concentrated artillery shells, and our artillery is all finished." ”

"Yaga" Nogi Nishinori looked at the Qing army opposite and cursed loudly.

But almost all of his artillery and eight layers of ammunition are there. Now they are all lost, which proves that now in their own hands, there are only a dozen artillery pieces and a pitiful amount of ammunition to use.

Can these stop the attack of the Lushun Army? Nogi Nishinori had a question in his mind. However, he didn't have to wait for him to figure it out. His face turned pale, and his body began to tremble. "Quick, quick, let the soldiers dodge the shells, dodge the shells." ”

After all the calculations, he didn't expect that the Qing army would carry the artillery up the mountain, you know, the distance of the artillery at the top of the mountain is much farther than shooting on the ground. Now not to mention the artillery positions, even Pyongyang is also in the artillery fire.

Although Nogi Nishinori has not been in contact with Ha Liu Jun, he has heard some things about him from others.

This person is a person who will take revenge and will never delay, he has eliminated him so many failures just now, he estimates that Liu Jun is cleaning up his artillery position, and in the next step, he will definitely bombard Pyongyang and retaliate for his treatment of him just now.

Outside the city, Liu Jun looked at the mushroom cloud that had not completely disappeared, and the anger in his heart had finally decreased a little.

Hey, hey, Liu Jun laughed.

The mushroom cloud just now, he knows, is not a little shell can be formed, a lot of shells can form such an effect. And the mushroom cloud exploded continuously. He estimated that the Japanese artillery was probably running out.

Run, where can you escape to, Liu Jun looked at the Japanese soldiers in Pyongyang who were running under the city wall, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Zhong Lin. Come over to Lao Tzu. Liu Jun put down the binoculars and shouted at the opening of his throat.

"Head, here, what's the matter?" Zhong Lin, who was observing the situation on the side, heard Liu Jun calling him, so he hurriedly dropped the telescope and ran over. "Go, tell the artillerymen, aim at Pyongyang for me, and bombard him for Lao Tzu."

"Boom...... Bombard Pyongyang. Zhong Lin spat on a mouthful of saliva. He stammered: "Head, there are a lot of North Korean civilians, if this is bombarded, then it will." ”

"How many people die in North Korea don't care what happens to me. As long as you can blow up the Japanese army, it is nothing to kill a few Goryeo sticks. Liu Jun waved his hand aggressively. Fleet Zhong Lin was still standing there: "Don't go yet." ”

Boom, the artillery who received the order turned the muzzle of the gun, pointed at Pyongyang, and launched an artillery bombardment.

"Tut-tut. It's spectacular. : Liu Jun, who picked up the binoculars, kept shaking his head and looked at Pyongyang City.

A lot of cannonballs passed through the walls and fell into the city. Many shells fell on the city walls. From time to time, the bombed city wall was littered with rubble. There were even Japanese troops who were blown off the city walls. Dropped.

The city wall is more than ten meters high, and even if you don't die, you have to be seriously injured.

Liu Jun only now felt that he had calculated a bad breath in his heart. "Don't stop, give Lao Tzu a bang." Liu Jun kept urging, he wanted to teach Nomu Xidian a lesson, how to get me, how will I pay you back, even if it is worth sacrificing the common people, I am saying, this is not his own people, it is not heartbreaking to die.

Perhaps it was not enjoyable, Liu Jun personally climbed to the top of the mountain and watched the fire and smoke coming out of the city from time to time. After looking at it a few times, but didn't see Zhong Lin, Liu Jun called the artillery commander in confusion and asked where Zhong Lin went.

The answer I got was very simple, it seemed that there was an urgent telegram coming from Sinuiju, and the director went down to receive the telegram.

Strange, what information can there be now, Liu Jun is very puzzled.

Now the two sides are fighting and stopping, and the area around Liaodong is under their own jurisdiction. The Japanese army was dragged to the northeast and Shandong, and although Weihai was also occupied by the Japanese army, the facilities could not be restored at once, and he did not understand what urgent information would make Zhong Lin personally go out.

"Head, it's not good, it's not good." Zhong Lin's voice came over.

"What's the matter?" Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin, who was now sallow, suspiciously, not knowing what was going on.

Zhong Lin stammered and said, "Head, what the hell is the imperial court, you should see for yourself." Zhong Lin didn't dare to speak, and handed the telegram in his hand to Liu Jun.

Lao Tzu was fighting in the imperial court, and Liu Jun took the telegram absentmindedly.

"I rely on your ancestors for eighteen generations." Liu Jun threw away the telegram in his hand and roared angrily.
