Chapter 798: Angry at Meiji
The 59th Division and the 60th Division were the two main divisions that were originally guarding the Akita line, and these two divisions were formed when they were fighting with the Tsarist Russians. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info medium color.
Since you are here, don't leave, I am worried that I can't find a target to start, but Ding Ruchang also knows very well in his heart that relying on his first army and part of the second army alone, it is impossible to gnaw these two divisions, and the only way is to let Feng Guozhang, who has already occupied Tokyo, support one or two.
"Immediately send a telegram to Commander Feng Guozhang and ask him to immediately send the 25th Army to attack the junction of these two divisions from the flank and rear, so as to eat them." After considering the mature Ding Ruchang lowered his head and thought about it, he began to give orders to the telegraph man next to him.
On the outskirts of Tokyo, the sign of the Japanese Tokyo Defense Headquarters has now been trampled on thousands of footprints, after Nogi Nishinori retreated. Feng Guozhang, who followed behind, occupied this place, and used this good place as a headquarters, of course, if it was originally, this place was nothing, but now, this place has been burned to ashes by an incendiary bomb by the navy, so Tokyo, there is no such good place.
It was still too late, Feng Guozhang, who was standing in front of the map, took a deep breath and was about to go out to get some air, but as soon as he walked to the door, a telegram was handed over to him.
Ding Ruchang's telegram, Feng Guozhang, who looked at the location, immediately looked at the contents.
Caught two divisions, this is a big net, can't let them run away, thinking of this, Feng Guozhang immediately took a look at the current position of the 25th Army, and immediately issued an order to let the 25th Army go north immediately.
The 25th Army and the 1st Army were the elite of the Liaodong Army, and the two divisions of the Japanese army were unlucky when they met them, and in less than two days, the 60th Division and the 59th Division, which had nearly 30,000 people, were surrounded and divided by the forces of the two armies plus one division of the Second Army, and thus were eaten.
Saitama. On the front line of the Japanese Tokyo Corps, Nogi Nishinori, who was besieged by the Liaodong Army and retreated in time, is now living in this town.
Hey, it's a big loss, it's really a loss this time, inside the temporary headquarters, looking at the soldiers who were withdrawing behind, Nogi Nishinori who was standing in front of the door looked remorseful. He clearly knew that he was responsible for the failure of this campaign.
Hey, Nogi Nishinori, who sighed again, returned to the headquarters. Unfolding the map, he asked the chief of staff who said Zhenno: "Have the 59th and 60th Divisions returned?" ”
With a grunt, the chief of staff who heard the question was cold, he had already received the news of the two divisions two hours ago. But now, I don't dare to say it.
"What's wrong? What can't be said. Seeing the evasive eyes of the chief of staff, Nogi Nishinori was shocked, and his words trembled a little.
He couldn't keep the fire all the time, and when he saw Nogi Nishinori asking, the chief of staff could only take out the telegram from his sleeve, and he didn't want to hand over the telegram in his heart.
"Your Excellency, Commander. Two hours ago, a call came from the separate 6th Brigade in charge of observation. The 60th Division and the 59th Division have been completely annihilated by the First Army and the 25th Army of the Liaodong Army. ”
Thunderbolt on a sunny day, this is almost a bolt from the blue, and Nogi Nishinori, who heard the news, took two steps back.
It's over, it's completely over, I had 130,000 people at the beginning, but now, in half a month, I have lost nearly 70,000 people. If this continues, the emperor will kill himself at that time.
"Let's send electricity to Fukushima, Tokyo is lost." A depressed Nogi had to send the telegram he least wanted to send.
Yagaya Road, Fukushima, watching Inoue Xin who lost the telegram, angrily retreated everything on the table. The Battle of Tokyo, so well prepared, was lost in less than half a month, he didn't know, whether it was the Japanese army's own incompetence or because of the commander's problem.
Nearly 70,000 horses were lost. This allows you to explain to the emperor and the people.
Hey, maybe I knew about this result for a long time, Inoue Xin just calmed down after a few minutes of anger. It has already happened, and it is useless to hold anyone responsible. Now, there is a more important problem to solve, and that is the Liaodong Army that landed in Akita. Akita's Liaodong Army, according to the latest situation, has landed 30,000 people.
Although these 30,000 men are a small number, his influence is indeed very huge, which means that the Japanese army on the northern front will completely collapse and thus lose.
cough cough cough ..... cough cough cough ...... The Emperor's Imperial Palace. Meiji's condition worsened again, and according to the doctor's advice, he couldn't withstand too much of the blow, but as the prime minister, Inoue Shin didn't know all this.
"Your Majesty. The Prime Minister asked to see him. The adjutant walked up to Meiji and whispered.
Brush, a flash of fine light. Meiji sat up forcibly and motioned for the adjutant to call Inoue Shin.
There should still be etiquette, and after coming in, Inoue Shin took a deep breath after asking for peace and said to Emperor Meiji next to the bed: "Your Majesty, Tokyo is lost, and we have lost 70,000 horses. ”
Wow, Meiji, who heard the news, was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened.
Wow....... After a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, Meiji then leaned back and collapsed on the bed.
This startled Inoue Xin, and after running over in a few steps, Inoue Xin held the emperor. But shaking vigorously doesn't seem to be of much use.
"Doctor, doctor." A scream rang out in the Emperor's palace.
With an uproar, the palace suddenly fell into chaos.
The night was already very deep, but in front of the palace, Inoue Xin had been waiting outside for a day, and several times he wanted to go in to ask about the situation, however, seeing the busyness, he could only hold back and dare not ask again and again.
Finally, the attending physician walked out, Inoue Xin stepped forward, and before he could ask, he suddenly saw the other party's shaking his head.
There is no help, Inoue Xin trembled when she saw this expression, how could the emperor die at this critical moment, if he died, what would happen later, who would take over Japan.
It's a disaster. Inoue was on the verge of crying.
"The emperor woke up, and he let the prime minister in."
It seems that she is going to confess her last words, thinking of this, Inoue Xin can only wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, tidy up, and walk in slowly.
As soon as I entered, I smelled a smell of medicine. After walking a short distance inside, he saw the Japanese Emperor Meiji lying on a white bed in collapse. (To be continued.) )
