No wonder Hasegawa is so shocked and angry, the 9th Brigade guards the upper riverside positions and the place where they are guarding, which is the right-hand man guarding Pyongyang, no matter who side is breached, the impact will be incalculable, and the enemy will be lightly backed by the enemy, the key point, it will be interspersed by the Qing army, and then the whole army will be annihilated.

What he is angry about now is not the group of Qing troops who are digging holes on the other side, nor the Lushun cavalry who have made a detour behind him, but the grandson of Oshima Yoshimasa.

I know that the two brigades are now cold. The reason why he didn't want to resist the powerful attack of the opposite Lushun army today was to prevent the Lushun army from occupying his position. Then go around behind him and attack Yoshimasa Oshima.

However, now, this old bastard did not hold even one noon, so he retreated to Pyongyang, giving the Qing army a chance to take advantage of it and detour behind him. Poke yourself in the ass.

The chief of staff looked at the annoyed and embarrassed Hasegawa and clenched the command knife, knowing that he was angry now, but as the chief of staff, there were some things he had to remind.

Carefully picking up the map from the ground, the chief of staff walked up to Hasegawa Yoshi, bowed his head and asked, "Your Excellency General, what should we do now?" Is it a defensive position or a ......"

After listening to the words of the chief of staff, Hasegawa stood up and walked to the mouth of the bunker.

It was indeed not the time to get angry, he had to decide whether to defend or retreat.

Defense, if the riverside position is not lost, if there is no appearance of the Qing cavalry behind, he guarantees that the warriors of the 12th mixed brigade will definitely be able to firmly hold this place and not let the Lushun army advance a single step. And yet now. Hasegawa shook his head helplessly.

There was no guarantee that he would be able to hold this place.

There are more than 10,000 Lushun troops on the opposite side, plus the Lushun cavalry that has appeared behind them, if they still blindly defend here, then they will fall into the fate of fighting on two fronts.

If once the main Lushun detour behind itself, then ......

Hasegawa Yoshiyoshi appeared in front of him, and this is what happened to him.

One is black wood for Zhen, and the other is Oji Anjun. Neither of them had a good result.

Kuroki was destroyed by the entire army, and the remnants of the Oji Yasujun surrendered.

Although Kuroki was killed in battle and became a hero, he was accompanied by thousands of soldiers of the Japanese Empire. This is a road he doesn't want to take.

The emperor personally ordered that the five horses of the entire family of the Oji Yasumi be divided, and that he was also expelled from the household registration of the Oji Yasumun, and was banned from entering Japan for life. He didn't want to take such a road.

Since neither path was chosen, the only choice was to retreat, and retreat while the Lushun cavalry had not yet arrived. Only in this way will it be possible to preserve the reputation of the 12th Mixed Brigade and itself.

The chief of staff for the "withdrawal" finally received an order from Hasegawa. An imperceptible smile appeared on his face and he walked out.

"What, what did you say, withdraw, it's really fake." Liu Jun stood in front of the map and looked at Zhong Lin, who was reporting the situation to him.

"Yes, Li Rong reported that the 12th Mixed Brigade had withdrawn from its position in the second half of last night, and after a brief exchange of fire with the cavalry, it retreated to Pyongyang." Zhong Lin said while eating.

"Impossible." Liu Jun put down the pen in his hand, walked to the chair and sat down.

You were still fighting yesterday, you are my life, and I ate more than 1,000 of Lao Tzu's troops, how could I suddenly retreat, there is something wrong. This is not logical or reasonable, Liu Jun bit the pencil.

"No, there's definitely something wrong with him." Liu Jun threw down the pen in his hand, and then looked at Zhong Lin: "Bring the map to Lao Tzu." ”

The messy table was tossed aside, and the two of them spread the map on the table.

According to Li Rong's intelligence, Liu Jun quickly drew the current situation on the map.

"Grass mud horse, that's what happened." Liu Jun stood up and looked at the two marching routes representing Ding Ruchang's cavalry and Li Rong's troops and the black Japanese army's marching routes.

Zhong Lin was a wooden head, looking at Liu Jun with a smile on his face and hugging his arms, he asked suspiciously: "Head, what do you see, look at you are excited." ”

"Oh, you didn't see it." Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin with a puzzled expression.

"No," Zhong Lin shook his head.

Glancing at Zhong Lin, Liu Jun said: "He is afraid that Lao Tzu will mobilize the main force to make him dumplings." ”

"Hmph, he's too smart, I don't think there's time to beat you. Lao Tzu is going to Pyongyang. Liu Jun smiled coldly.

Seeing Zhong Lin still standing in front of him like a stick, Liu Jun took a look: "What do you see, don't hurry up and pack up your things." ”

"Where to go?" Zhong Lin didn't react at once. ”

"I'll you paralyzed." Liu Jun slammed Zhong Lin's buttocks.

"Oops." Zhong Lin shouted in pain and ran to the side

"Hurry up and pack up, Lao Tzu is going to the front line. Hit Pyongyang. Liu Jun began to roar at Zhong Lin.

On the outskirts of Pyongyang, everything seems so quiet, and the silence feels a little abnormal.

Looking at the faintly visible city of Pyongyang, Liu Jun put down the telescope in his hand in confusion.

The city of Pyongyang looks calm, except for the dejected sun flag on the city wall.

There were also Japanese positions outside the city.

It seems that the Japanese army has learned to be obedient, and this time they actually used a lot of sandbags to pile up bunkers, and machine guns were set up in many places.

"Head, to fight or not to fight." Zhong Lin approached Liu Jun and asked softly.

"Fight, why don't you fight, if you don't fight my tens of thousands of troops, won't you be able to travel here?" Liu Jun said to Liu Jun angrily, then looked at the Japanese position outside the city, and pointed to where he was energetic: "Order artillery, attack." ”

Boom, boom, the artillery placed not far away received the order to attack, and dozens of shells began to fall on the positions of the Japanese troops.

The Japanese positions on the opposite side were suddenly filled with smoke and rubble flying.

Ten minutes of shelling was enough to destroy these improvised bunkers made of bags.

"Order, artillery fire extended." Liu Juntou didn't reply, and directly gave the order coldly.

Artillery fire extends to fire, which means that it is time for the infantry to charge immediately.

With a shout of "kill", the two regiments of the Third Army, which had already been at the forefront, jumped out of the trenches and began to attack the Japanese positions.

Seeing that the troops were getting closer and closer to the Japanese position, Liu Jun was a little uneasy, and he only now found that on the opposite side, there seemed to be a lot of improvised fences that he thought had been made.

If it's to stop a cavalry attack or an infantry attack, these things are obviously too bad. Ninety or so pieces of broken wood are not yet knee-high, and as long as a person jumps slightly, they can pass through. What is this for, Liu Jun tilted his head and kept thinking.

Boom, an explosion woke up Liu Jun, who was thinking.

Liu Junding looked at it and saw that the attacking troops were now under attack from Japanese artillery, and the terrain was now flat. Not to mention that there is no place to hide.

From time to time, shells would explode among the soldiers, and then a lot of minced meat and stones would fly into the sky.

"I'll grass your ancestors." Liu Jun's eyes widened. Then he slammed his hand on the ground.

was actually tricked by Nogi Nishinori.

No wonder I didn't see the Japanese artillery counterattack just now, no wonder the Japanese put some fences somewhere, that's a signal.

As long as the soldier has reached that position. Then the artillery will immediately attack, and at this time, the retreat cannot be retreated, the advance cannot be advanced, and the live target is the Japanese shooting.

Looking at the screams coming from the other side, Liu Jun's eyes were about to burst.

He was very direct, if he had thought of this earlier, then the troops would not have been hit so hard. The losses are so heavy......

"Zhong Lin, find out with Lao Tzu." Liu Jun's eyes were blood-red as he stared at the artillery fire on the other side.

"Okay." Zhong Lin nodded, immediately grabbed the binoculars, and began to search the Japanese artillery positions. ”

"Found it." Zhong Lin put down the telescope in his hand.

Liu Jun snatched the telescope at once: "Where is it, what the hell." ”

"That," Zhong Lin pointed to a small hill opposite.

Liu Jun took a look, where there were a lot of bushes, where the Japanese artillery was,

I didn't find it just now, but now, there are at least a dozen field guns somewhere, and they are spewing artillery fire.

"Beat him down." Liu Jun gritted his teeth and roared.

Zhong Lin hurriedly used his hands to estimate the distance.

From here to the Japanese positions on the opposite side, it was simply not within the reach of field artillery.

Zhong Lin said aggrievedly: "Head, the distance is too far to hit." ”

Unable to hit, Liu Jun calmed down and seemed to observe the surrounding terrain.

The position where I am now is a hill, and not far away, there is a bare place. Although it is tens of meters higher than here. But where it is steeper, it is not easy to transport. Not to mention artillery.

As long as the artillery is moved, it should be possible to hit the Japanese positions on the opposite side.

"Go, call the artillery to dismantle the field artillery to Lao Tzu, and then move it to there."

Zhong Lin looked at the place where Liu Jun pointed his finger, and it was the bare hill. "Okay, I'll do it right away."

"Boy, you wait for me." Liu Jun angrily pointed to the Japanese drama position that was still shooting. Make a cursing sound.
