Chapter 95: Helpless

The sky in the Far East is not yet fully bright, but on the land of Korea, a life-and-death struggle has begun.

Since the commando is a death squad, then Cunchun does not take his own life seriously, and the artillery has not yet been extended. More than 100 members of the assault team had rushed out with the shells whistling in the sky.

The front-line positions of the Japanese army were denied by the sudden artillery fire. A brigade of Japanese troops on the front line, before they could figure out what was going on, was blown up and dizzy. I finally came to my senses, and immediately faced the bayonets of the terrible Lushun Army commandos.

The Japanese army was horizontal, and the Japanese army who came to their senses short-term bayonets fought with the commandos, but the bayonets relied on the courage not to be afraid of death and the spirit of daring to change one for one.

The commando team did not want to die, which already made the Japanese army feel terrible, not to mention that the dense Qing army was coming behind it, and the Japanese army was afraid.

The Japanese troops on the front line could not bear such psychological pressure and began to retreat.

"Okay, take it." Li Rong clenched his fists, saw that the Yellow Dragon Flag had been fluttering in the forward position of the Japanese army, and excitedly looked at the staff officers around him and said: "Pack up your things, move the headquarters forward, and I will personally go to the front line." ”

The "understood" staff officer immediately put away the map on the ammunition box, and then accompanied Li Rong under the escort of the guards, thinking that he was still smoking the smoke and leaving the newly occupied Japanese position.

Li Rongneng was close to the front line, he learned from Liu Jun, Liu Jun once said, one soldier is a bear, a nest of bears, a general who is afraid of death, always stays behind, and talks about a fart commanding thousands of troops, not to mention the soldiers who give you their lives.

As soon as he arrived at the front line, Li Rong casually crawled into a pit that had been blown up by a conscienceless cannon, and there was a broken arm next to the pit, and he didn't know that it was so unlucky for the Japanese army. Disgustingly picked it up and threw it aside, Li Rong raised the telescope in his hand.

The fact that the forward position is easy to take does not mean that the second line position is easy to take.

A sudden attack can only be used once, and no matter how stupid the Japanese troops in the second-line position are, they have already prepared at this time.

Now Li Rong clearly saw that the attacking troops were suppressed by the Japanese army at the foot of the hill of the second-line position, and they could not raise their heads.

"Damn." Li Rong scolded angrily, turned his head and shouted loudly: "Push the field artillery up." Aim at the Japanese positions, bomb me, cover the troops' attack. ”

No wonder Li Rong is not in a hurry, Liu Jun's order is to tear open the Japanese defense line as soon as possible, and then advance towards Pyongyang. When it comes to the tactics of digging tunnels, it will waste a lot of time, which is contrary to Liu Jun's order. Therefore, Li Rong's is definitely attacking directly in turns, even if the sacrifice is bigger, it doesn't matter.

In Sinuiju, the sky was already bright, Liu Jun opened his eyes, looked at the already dazzling light outside, looked at the clock hanging in the room, and got up with a grunt.

He really couldn't sleep in a bed like this with a Goryeo stick. Pushing open the door of the room, Liu Jun came to the living room with his clothes on.

Zhong Lin had already gotten up and sat there, and as soon as he saw Liu Jun, Zhong Lin immediately stood up, put a stool for Liu Jun, and then began to get food for Liu Jun.

", what the hell." Looking at the thing on the table, Liu Jun was startled. Raising his head, he looked at Zhong Lin in surprise and asked.

Hey, hey, Zhong Lin laughed a few times: "I don't know, Duan Qirui got it, said it was a specialty, I ate some, it tasted good." ”

The black ones are still delicious, and Liu Jun has no appetite when he looks at them, but looking at Zhong Lin's expression, it should be good.

After tasting it carefully, Liu Jun nodded, and quickly ate the temptation that Zhong Lin handed over. Wiping his mouth, Liu Jun picked up the tea next to him, just put it to his mouth, and put it down: "What is the situation on the front line." ”

"Li Rong has already launched an offensive on the northern front at six o'clock today, and Ding Ruchang, Ran Xu, and Shoushan have already begun to attack the Japanese army on the riverside at eight o'clock. At present, the 4th Division has occupied the opposite bank, and the sappers are erecting pontoon bridges. It is estimated that in the afternoon, the main force will all cross the river. ”

Liu Jun thought for a while: "Ding Ruchang is not very worried about hunger, the Ninth Brigade has less than 3,000 people left, what I am worried about is that where Li Rong is, everywhere is mountainous, the Japanese army is condescending, it is not easy to attack, besides, although the 12th Mixed Brigade has lost part of its troops in Dandong, his main force has not been damaged much." ”

"Head, then do you want to supervise Li Rong. Let him tear the ground apart at any cost? Zhong Lin looked up at Liu Jun.

"Forget it, tell Ding Ruchang. After crossing the river, he immediately led the cavalry brigade to support Li Rong, detoured behind the Japanese army, attacked him from both sides, and stabbed him in the chrysanthemum. ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Zhong Lin nodded, and then walked out of the door.

Liu Jun's worries did confirm that the current Li Rong was already in opposition to the 12th Mixed Brigade.

When Hasegawa withdrew to Korea, he was the first to cross the river, so he did not suffer much damage, and although he lost more than 700 people in Dandong, he still had more than 6,000 in his hands.

Although Li Rong now has more than 10,000 people in his hands, it is still relatively difficult.

After Li Rong occupied the forward position of the Japanese army, he quickly took the second position, but when he was in the main position, he and Hasegawa Hao fought a positional battle, and the two sides threw hundreds or even thousands of troops on the position, and fought and even fought with bayonets on the position.

The two sides were in a zone where they were going to play, from noon to afternoon, and no one could help anyone.

Seeing that it was already sunset and dusk, it was futile to continue the fight, so Li Rong had to order to stop the attack

Looking at the corpses that had been paved at the bottom of the mountain, Li Rong sighed helplessly and sat on the ammunition box.

Mei Linhai saw Li Rong sitting there with his head pulled up, and walked over: "What should I do, now that the Japanese army is blocking fiercely, do you want to use the old method." ”

Li Rong raised his head: "I hope to use the old method, but where is the handsome?" ”

"Didn't the marshal already send a telegram, and now Commander Ding has already led the cavalry to detour to the back, which means that the marshal knows our situation here."

"Okay, just the old way." Li Rong stood up. Said firmly.

At the Japanese headquarters a kilometer away, Hasegawa looked helplessly at the Qing army who was looking at his position like a mouse.

Half an hour earlier, he had ordered the artillery to attack the Qing troops who were digging, but the effect was really indescribable.

As soon as they shelled themselves, the rats immediately stopped digging and crawled quietly in the tunnel, and as soon as the shelling stopped. The rats would pick up their shovels again and keep digging.

For this method of the Qing army, where did he hear about Nogi Nishidian, when fighting Dalian, the Qing army used this method, close to Dalian City, and then moved the terrible Grim Reaper, and began to bombard the city wall violently, and the hard city wall was collapsed in less than half an hour.

He estimated that the Qing army on the opposite side would use this method against him.

It is not the ghosts that people are afraid of, but they know how the other person is going to treat them but they have no power to fight back.

Just now, in order to stop the movement of the Qing army on the opposite side, he asked the troops of a wing to attack, but only halfway through, the Qing army on the opposite side organized an artillery blockade line that was tens of meters long to stop himself, and those soldiers who were digging would also stop digging and crawl in the tunnel to deal with themselves.

In desperation, he had to come down and withdraw his troops.

Look at the tunnels that have now become several zigzags. Hasegawa could only close his eyes helplessly.

Handing over the matter in hand to the chief of staff, Hasegawa reluctantly returned to the table at the headquarters and lay down, he wanted to take a good rest, he knew that tomorrow was the most critical time.

However, God seems to have a good idea to get along with Hasegawa.

Less than four hours after lying down, he was woken up by the chief of staff.

Seeing the panicked eyes of the chief of staff, Hasegawa was shocked: "Has the Qing army attacked?" ”

The chief of staff shook his head and said a situation that was even more depressing than the Qing army's attack: "The scouts came to report that there were Qing cavalry in our rear. ”

"Nani," Hasegawa was taken aback and rolled over to the map. And wipe the dirt off it with your hands.

"Here," the chief of staff pointed to a place name on it, in the castle.

In the ancient castle, that is to say, the Qing army is now less than fifty kilometers away from him.

"How many are there?" Hasegawa thought about it for a moment, folded his arms and asked.

"It is estimated that there is a brigade. 3,000 people. ”

"Three thousand,?" Hasegawa's face was full of doubts.

You must know that this is Dingzhou South, behind yourself, Pyongyang, and your own rear, and the Qing army will make such a detour to its back, is it impossible to fall from the sky

Seeing Hasegawa's expression, the chief of staff coughed and said, "The Ninth Brigade has lost its riverside position. His subordinates estimated that the Qing army made a detour along the river to our rear. ”

"Yaga." Hearing this, Hasegawa angrily flipped over the table, and then sat weakly on the ammunition box.

After a while, he raised his head weakly and muttered to himself: "It's over"
