The loss of the second battalion is not small, and the devil's side is even more wailing, Prince Nohku of Kita-Shirakawa Palace looked at the preliminary casualty report, and the last bit of luck no longer exists, "The casualties actually exceeded two thousand, and more than 1,000 of them were killed and missing, Your Majesty will not let me stay in the army anymore, I will definitely not ......"

After the three main infantry brigades were disabled, the Guards Division, which had already lost a lot of losses before, completely lost the possibility of solving the second battalion alone, and Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace could only go to the Fourth Division for help, but the conversation was very unpleasant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The shrewdness of the Osaka traders is famous, and it is obviously impossible to expect them to carry forward their style and help for free, especially since the combat effectiveness shown by the 2nd Battalion in the previous battles once again proves that they are an exceptionally strong elite force, and how is it possible to expect the 4th Division to help without a big enough benefit?

Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace may not be able to pay a price that can satisfy the Fourth Division, but since he will definitely withdraw from the military in the future no matter what, what is the difference between taking fifty steps back and taking one hundred steps back? Anyway, it won't go to a military court anyway, and the Japanese imperial family will have to save face, so why do you have to eliminate the second battalion and feed these profiteers in Osaka?

So the two sides broke up unhappily, the Guards Division was unable to attack, and the Fourth Division was unwilling to contribute, so that the Second Battalion unexpectedly gained a valuable time to repair, but the Second Battalion now has little food left, if there are no reinforcements coming, even if the devils do not attack, they will at most hold on until tomorrow night and have to disperse and break through by night......

The signal has been sent several times before and after, and all the smoke materials have been used up, and Huang Haitao has done everything he can, so he can only pin his hopes on the navy. To be honest, he is really a little worried, although the Marine Corps is also considered to be the establishment of the navy, but because it has not been built for a long time, it has never been together before, and Huang Haitao is really not sure whether the captains with their eyes on the top of their heads can work hard to rescue.

It was a matter of life and death for the whole battalion, and Huang Haitao couldn't help but feel a little troubled until he suddenly heard a subordinate shouting, "Here, here!" The ship is coming, the warship is coming! ”

Huang Haitao suddenly stood up with a look of surprise and looked at the sea, his eyesight was indeed good, even if he didn't use a telescope, he could see the general appearance of those warships, and suddenly frowned, "It seems that I haven't seen such a warship in Yokosuka?" ”

It wasn't until the two warships approached that Huang Haitao recognized that they were the pride of the Chinese Navy - Haitian-class armored cruisers, and later saw the naval flag hanging high on the mast, that he finally completely relieved himself, and at this time there was already a cheer on the position, "It's our warship, it's really our warship!" ”

The cheers from the position of the 2nd Battalion alarmed the devils, and they soon discovered that there were ships coming from the sea, and since the Japanese navy was finished and the few remaining ships were also forcibly occupied by the Chinese navy, the Japanese troops of both divisions quickly judged that the comers were friends and foes.

The difference is that the Fourth Division, which had suffered losses before and knew that China's artillery had the ability to strike at long ranges, retreated a full 10 kilometers in one go, while Prince Kita-Shirakawa Miyano only asked his subordinates to move three kilometers west based on traditional concepts.

Although in order to avoid the loss of the life of the main gun, only eight 120mm secondary guns on the side were allowed to fire, but their firepower was equivalent to the total artillery of several Japanese divisions, which was enough to inflict heavy losses on the Guards Division, which had just completed the relocation and had not yet been established......

Under the sudden and heavy shelling, the Guards Division completely lost its proper order, and the frightened soldiers ran around like headless flies, which not only plunged the camp into unprecedented chaos, but also caused the crowding of personnel, which further increased the lethal effect of the shelling of the two Chinese warships.

After a quarter of an hour of full-speed shelling, the formation of the Guards Division had completely collapsed, and the captain could not find the squadron leader under his command, the squadron leader could not find the squad leader under him, the squad leader could not find the captain, and the captain could not find the soldiers, as for their division commander, Prince Nohisa Kita-Shirakawanomiya, because he had horses to ride and fled the fastest, there were only a few subordinates left around him at this time......

It was not until two days later that the remnants of the Guards Division were finally rebuilt, and the Japanese side later released figures that 272 people were killed, 159 were missing, and 1,764 were wounded, and the real losses were much greater than that.

Speaking of which, the devil is quite lucky, Li Hui is worried about promoting the progress of Western science and technology and has not taken out the radio station for a long time, otherwise as long as the second battalion sends a small detachment to bring the radio to provide guidance and calibration services for the warship, the guards division does not know how many people will be left!

"There is no room for failure in Tokyo, and there is no room for error in His Majesty the Emperor!" As soon as the Guards Division collapsed, the Fourth Division suddenly had an excuse to retreat, and when they entered Tokyo with a fairly strong military appearance and a basically complete structure, it was in stark contrast to the Guards Division, which had completely become a straggler, and it was naturally regarded as a lifesaver by Muhito, who had become a frightened bird. As a result, the Fourth Division obviously did not have any combat achievements in these two days of fighting, and suffered a lot of setbacks, but once again received a reward of excessive specifications, as if it was already the number one division of the Japanese Army, and even the division commander Shizugo Yamazawa, who had actually done nothing (even the strategy of reorganizing the army and re-entering the city was also thought up by his subordinates), was also promoted to the rank of knight and was known as one of the few famous generals in Japan. Comparing the Guards Division, which became a shame for the Japanese Army after returning to Tokyo, and Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace, who was almost ordered to seppuku by the angry Mujin, it is really more popular than people!

But compared with the second battalion that became famous in World War I, it is nothing, Li Hui borrowed the practice of the mustache in history, and in the propaganda, the results of the Yokosuka defenders and the two Haitian-class mounted patrol artillery bombardments were also attributed to the name of the second battalion, boasting that "one battalion repels 30,000 troops, cripples a division, and destroys (kills and wounds) tens of thousands of devils." The miracle of "the Chinese People's Liberation Army (Note 1) is invincible" abroad, and at home, it stimulates young people's yearning for the PLA by portraying superheroes, and at the same time improves the social status of soldiers.

Note 1: Li Hui originally wanted to name the Chinese army Datong Army or other names, but it was not as good as the People's Liberation Army, and finally chose this most customary one. (To be continued.) )
