Although Gentaro Kodama resigned from the post of Minister of War, in fact, Emperor Meiji was somewhat helpless. The problem of Japan, www.biquge.info "Fun" is not actually a problem at the top, but a problem at the grassroots level.

Although Emperor Meiji was a little reluctant to see this situation, in order to extinguish the anger of the great powers and at the same time give an explanation to the country, he could only let Kodama Gentaro resign and apologize.

However, after his resignation, Gentaro Kodama did not fall out of favor because of this, and he was appointed by Emperor Meiji as an army adviser.

And Kodama Gentaro is known as the first wise general of the Meiji period, and is known as the three heroes of the Meiji Army together with Katsura Taro and Kawakami Caoroku.

This time, Emperor Meiji decided to learn the lessons of the defeat in the war. It is not known what last year's war would have turned out to be if it had not been for the political advantage.

In addition to this war, the Japanese suddenly woke up from their sleep, and they suddenly felt that their tactics seemed to be backward again, and Huaxia, who had served as a Japanese teacher for nearly a thousand years, once again surpassed Japan in military command by virtue of its profound heritage.

If the Manchus were still in power, then the Meiji Emperor would not have too many worries, but it was Wang Sirui who was in power, a little-known Han Chinese, and who had taught the Japanese a painful lesson as soon as he was born.

The two wars hurt the Japanese somewhat, and similarly, they also made the Japanese realize their own shortcomings.

Emperor Meiji hoped that Japan could temporarily calm down and continue to develop its industrial strength by relying on the indemnity from the Xincho Treaty, while on the other hand, the army carried out tactical reforms, hoping to surpass China again.

Based on this premise, Army General and Minister of War Gentaro Kodama was appointed as an army adviser to study the details of the operation in order to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of the tactics of the two sides, and to decipher the attack method while perfecting the tactics as much as possible, hoping to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army.

"It turns out that we still need our ......navy to fight this war," Navy Minister Gonbei Yamamoto said with some triumph.

The Emperor decreed that the army should not wage any war, and that all the remaining armies must return to Japan for training, except for two divisions each from Korea and Taiwan, to stabilize the region.

According to the Japanese style, the army's training will take at least a year, and with the Han army's tactics that I don't know when it will be figured out, maybe it will take even longer.

During this time, the Navy can take advantage of this opportunity to ruthlessly loot the resources belonging to the Army. The thought of adding a few more battleships to the navy made Gonbei Yamamoto a little excited.

"Hmph, without our army, can your navy still be able to drive warships to land?" Gentaro Kodama replied very unconvinced.

"Two, calm down, now is not the time for us to quarrel, Kodamama-kun, you must study the tactics of the people as soon as possible, and then find a way to crack it. In addition, the army equipment side can be temporarily stopped, but the research program cannot be stopped. Yamamoto-kun, before the army expands, the navy can temporarily use the resources allocated to the army, but once the army needs to expand, the navy must return the resources borrowed from the army. Katsura Taro said to the two members of his cabinet.

Although he didn't want to do this either, after all, Katsura Taro was born in the army, but in fact, in his heart, he was still more inclined to the army.

But the current situation is pressing, and Katsura Taro has no way to continue to occupy those resources and prevent them from being used by the navy. After all, at present, the equipment of the army is generally sufficient, and it has not yet reached the point where it needs a lot of resources.

On the other hand, the navy was always clamoring for the construction of new warships, which hurt Japan a lot. In order to balance the two parties and no longer look for trouble with each other, Katsura Taro had to come up with a compromise solution.

"Yes!" Yamamoto Gonbei directly agreed, what about his future, anyway, he only needs the current one, and he will say that he can't take it out in the future, what can you do with the army? If you dare to disobey, you will stay in the country for the rest of your life, hum.

On the other side, the distant Northeast.

Qin Chunfeng's 10th Regiment in the vast northeast, under the leadership of local Han guides, can be said to come and go like the wind, in just three days, they defeated three Japanese baggage teams.

Among them, 1,000 rifles, 1 million rounds of ammunition, and various other supplies were seized. And these materials were also temporarily placed in a hidden place by Qin Chunfeng, planning to wait until after the war, or when their weapons and ammunition were scarce.

"Cannon! Many, many cannons! One of the soldiers ran back in a panic, with a slightly frightened expression on his face, as if he had encountered some kind of wild beast.

"Cannon? Be clear! Qin Chunfeng was slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed, it must be the Japanese artillery who can appear here, and those artillery are naturally going to support the Shengjing Front, if he can kill this artillery unit of the Japanese army here, then wouldn't it be more enjoyable to fight in front?

"There are almost twenty cannons, and there are almost four thousand devils guarding them." Listening to Qin Chunfeng's questioning, the scout calmed down a little and told Qin Chunfeng about the situation in front of him one by one.

Twenty cannons? This is one-fifth of the total number of artillery of the Han army, and if you can capture these artillery, it will definitely be a great achievement.

However, although the scout said the number of the opponent's artillery and the approximate number, this was not the information that Qin Chunfeng wanted.

"First battalion commander, you go to the front to set up an ambush, the second and third battalions ambush on both sides, and the fourth battalion goes around, let's give the little devil a dumpling." Qin Chunfeng hurriedly ordered. However, he seemed to find something wrong, and continued to order: "Try to keep those artillery, don't fucking mess with Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will let you be the squad leader, and you will be the vanguard every time." ”

"Hehe, head of the regiment, I still want to be the head of the regiment, you can rest assured." The commander of the first battalion laughed and laughed, and several other people echoed one after another.

Qin Chunfeng didn't blame these subordinates, but waved his hand, signaling them to go to their respective ambush locations according to the arrangement.

As for Qin Chunfeng himself, he turned back again with the scout.

He had to take a personal look at the troops on the other side, and if there were any problems, he could just let them retreat.

After all, there are only more than 3,000 people in a regiment, and there are only about 2,008 combat troops in the middle of the year, but there are 4,000 little devils, if it weren't for their own firepower, Qin Chunfeng would never dare to do this.

Immediately after, Qin Chunfeng and the scout came to the back of a small dirt slope, only revealing half of their heads to stare at the road below.

This is the only road leading to Shengjing in the vicinity, of course, it is not that the other roads are impassable, but the artillery and baggage troops are not able to go at all.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the Japanese soldiers in the front row slowly appeared in Qin Chunfeng's sight.

The first to appear was the devil's cavalry, but the number was not large, only about a hundred people, but according to the report of the scouts, there were more than 100 cavalry in the rear.

Immediately afterwards, there were about 1,000 devil infantry, each of these infantry had a Type 30 rifle, and in the middle of the team there was only a Maxim heavy machine gun that was pitifully wrapped, and this Maxim heavy machine gun was also the only heavy machine gun in this unit.

Further back, there were hundreds of carriages of all kinds, except for the twenty-two carriages that pulled the artillery, which looked a little good, the other carriages were snatched from the hands of the people at a glance, and they were full of all kinds of supplies.

Next to each carriage, there were about four or five soldiers busy before and after, and these Japanese soldiers were even like marching on the Japanese mainland, and even their weapons were thrown directly onto the carriage, and they had no sense of defense at all.

Further back, almost as before, about a thousand infantry followed behind the convoy, and behind the infantry, a cavalry of about a hundred men.

However, this army felt a little strange when they walked, obviously feeling that they could go faster, but the people in front of them always seemed to be suppressing the speed of the march, which made Qin Chunfeng a little difficult to understand.

However, according to the reconnaissance at the scene, Qin Chunfeng also roughly judged the troop configuration of this Japanese army. It should be one wing of infantry, plus two brigades of artillery, which is actually an infantry wing and an artillery wing.

It's just that the ratio of troops in this army is very painful, and the cavalry belongs to the third brigade of the cavalry of the third division, that is, the cavalry that has been eliminated by artillery.

The infantry belonged to the 4th Division, and the artillery consisted of two brigades, which were subordinate to the 4th and 3rd Divisions. The people of the Third Division wanted to march to the battlefield quickly, but the people of the Fourth Division did not want to go to the battlefield, even if the cavalry accelerated at a faster pace, the infantry would not leave, which made the soldiers of the Third Division curse secretly, but they were helpless, they would never dare to march alone without the protection of the infantry of the Fourth Division.

After observing clearly, Qin Chunfeng gradually retreated, and then trotted all the way back to the ambush position.

The four battalion commanders were called over, and then began to convey the details of the enemy.

"The enemy has one company of infantry and one company of artillery, and two squads of cavalry, and it is that infantry wing and two squads of cavalry that are really capable of fighting. The cavalry is deployed at both ends of the ranks, and once the battle starts, you don't have to have any reservations, but first knock out the cavalry of the little devils to prevent them from maneuvering at high speed to attack our defensive line.

In terms of machine guns, I only saw a heavy machine gun, so we still have a big advantage on our side, using our advantage to prevent the enemy from melee with us and kill them as far as possible. After this vote is done, I personally ask the brothers for credit to the military seat! Qin Chunfeng simply added the tactical arrangement. (To be continued.) )
