After obtaining Dong Liang's consent, Fan Tianhao sent the remaining 389 people of the 87th Brigade back to China, except for the 84 seriously wounded including Jiang Fei, and the rest were all incorporated into the 29th Division's top soldier group, with Liu San as the team leader leading the 29th and 30th Divisions to outflank Seoul from the mountains, and the 1st and 13th Divisions to storm Seoul from the front

Liu San bitterly persuaded the 84 seriously wounded to return to China, but the effect was very small, and finally he had to put on the posture of the brigade commander, and almost didn't point a gun at them to go back, in his opinion, only he could stay here, and the rest was not important

Dong Liang finally got a telegram from Zhao Bingjun to confirm that the situation was similar to that reported by the 7th Division that had attacked Seoul before, and Seoul now only had more than one division of the Japanese army, with about 30,000 troops, and the reinforcements had not yet arrived

Dong Liang saw the opportunity and prepared to use this precious time to take down Seoul, which was undoubtedly a very big boost to the morale of this expeditionary force

After three days of adjustment, the troops finally set off

The first unit to set off looked like a wounded unit transferred with a hospital, each wrapped in gauze and bandages; But this does not affect their neat pace and high morale Luo Ming, Fan Tianhao, Dong Liang, these generals of the Qing Dynasty all know that this army is now like a tiger out of the cage, and it is best not to let the Japanese meet them, otherwise what awaits little Japan is the end of being torn apart and chewed up

Immediately after that, the 29th Division and the 30th Division also set off in a majestic manner, so blatantly sending troops is not intended to be seen by the intelligence personnel of the Japanese "chrysanthemum" agency, but even if the Japanese know it, they can't defend it, after entering the mountain, just like Liu San said, you can outflank Seoul, you can go to Jeju Island, and you can even go to any Japanese-occupied city, it is really too much for the Japanese to guard against it, it is better not to know, now it is known that the Qing Dynasty sent troops to 2 divisions into the mountain, and the direction is unknown, which makes the Japanese command in Seoul a headache

On the contrary, the 1st and 13th Divisions, which were attacking frontally, quietly set off that night to avoid the eyes of the Japanese spies, and set off one regiment after another, each time at an interval of a quarter of an hour

In this way, the prelude to the expeditionary force's first active attack after entering Chaoxian was about to begin

"Baga, have the troops of the Qing Kingdom entered the mountains?" Lieutenant General Michikani Nozu said

"Yes general, according to the members of the Ju Agency, the vanguard of his troops entering Daesan was wrapped in gauze, and it appeared to be the Qing army that broke through on Jeju Island, but the number was only between 200,300,000,000," a Japanese soldier reported

"What a bunch of waste, a regiment of the Qing army actually blocked the attack of the two field wings of the third division for eight hours, resulting in the Qing army running away, let alone 300 people, even one person ran out, it is a shame for us, not to mention, with these guides, they can lead the two divisions of the Qing army to any city we control, before the reinforcements arrive, we can only stick to Seoul, and we can't take care of other cities" Lieutenant General Nozu Michikan turned to a burly and sturdy Japanese man and continued: "Nakata-kun, how is the training of your mountain special forces?"

"It's ready for any fierce battle," the man named Nakata replied respectfully

"Okay, lead your mountain special forces into the mountains, find the 300-strong guide force and tear him apart, without the guide, the 2 divisions of the Qing army will basically lose their use," Lieutenant General Nozu Michikan ordered

"Hayi," Nakata nodded

This is a Japanese special forces armed with all British equipment, at that time it can be said that they were armed to the teeth, good at mountain warfare, these special forces have first-class physical fitness, accurate marksmanship, proficient in coordinated operations between three or five people, this force has a total of 100 people, and they also quietly entered the mountains under the cover of night, but the same, did not escape Zhao Bingjun's eyes

Dong Liang sat in Pyongyang and commanded in the center, and after receiving Zhao Bingjun's telegram, he hurriedly found Zhang Xun, the commander of the Seventh Division, who was staying in Pyongyang

"General, what Zhao Bingjun means is that although the number of Japanese troops entering the mountains is only 100 people, it can be seen that they should be special forces who are proficient in mountain operations, similar to the troops trained by Wang Feng in Vietnam, with strong individual combat ability, and considerable proficiency in small-scale cooperation, usually responsible for assassination, rescue and other tasks, it seems that they want to attack Liu San, the eyes of the mountains," Zhang Xun analyzed

"Hmph, my special forces in the Qing Dynasty are still in training, and they can't go into battle yet, so a small Japan wants to use special forces? Just more than 100 people, dare to go deep alone? Send me a telegram to Fan Tianhao, and choke this Japanese dog to death in the dung pit at all costs," Dong Liang scolded angrily

"Yes"

On the one hand, Liu San has been here for more than ten days and is already quite familiar with the terrain and route, and on the other hand, Liu San, who is eager for revenge, has already forgotten his task, and he has regarded himself as a commando rather than a sharp group

"Old Fan, isn't the march too fast, the frontal attacking troops have already set off later than us, and we will have to wait for them then," said Mao Weimin, commander of the 30th Division

"These bunnies, the reins are a little looser, and they will make some movement for me, come out, send electricity to the spearhead group, stop moving forward, observe in place, and stand by," Fan Tianhao shouted

"Report, General Dong urgently telegraphed," a communications soldier handed over a telegram

Mao Weiming and Fan Tianhao glanced at each other, and Fan Tianhao took the telegram and looked at it

"What's the matter?" Mao Weimin seemed to smell something wrong

"Oh no, little Japan sent a mountain special forces into the mountains, according to General Dong's analysis, they came to the top soldiers, so let's solve them at all costs," Fan Tianhao stated

Mao Weimin did not hesitate, and shouted behind him: "The 92nd Brigade marched in the direction of the top soldier group to protect the top soldier group and withdraw."

"Lao Mao, such a big mountain, if Little Japan doesn't take the initiative to show up, where can I find these hundred people?" Fan Tianhao stopped Mao Weimin

"However, Liu San, they have already paid a lot for the overall situation, do they still want to use them as bait? ? It's all your soldiers, how can you do this?? Mao Weimin roared at Fan Tianhao

"Don't fucking tell me a big truth, since they have chosen to be a soldier, they are ready to sacrifice for the country, Liu San has followed me since he fought in the Chu Army when he fought the Second Opium War, more than 20 years, he was only 17 years old at the beginning, and now he is in his 40s, and when it comes to feelings, he is closer than my daughter-in-law, what kind of living Bodhisattva are you pretending to be here?" Fan Tianhao scolded angrily with tears in his eyes

"Is your conscience for the dog? If anyone wants to use the life of the Elite Group as a stepping stone for him to become an official and become a knight, I will be the first to shoot him" Mao Weimin said and took out the Mauser pistol he carried, turned to an officer wearing a colonel's military uniform and said: "Dog, take your 92nd Brigade to replace the Elite Soldier Group, and the Elite Soldier Group is missing a pair of hair, Lao Tzu shot you."

"Yes," the officer named Dog was about to turn away when he heard a "bang......" gunshot

"Want to rebel? There's no fucking king's law? Fan Tianhao held a smoking pistol to the sky and continued: "General Dong's military order is not to destroy the Japanese special forces at all costs, not to let you go and replace the advanced soldier group, you have replaced the sharp soldier group, will little Japan still show up?" When the time comes, do you pay such a responsibility for the mistaken military order? ”

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, I didn't pay attention for a while, the dog looked at Mao Weimin, as long as his division commander continued to insist, he would not hesitate to carry out the order

But after listening to Fan Tianhao's words, he himself hesitated

"Old Fan, the two of us are brothers from the same battalion, Liu San has followed me for so many years, and I also know that you are a person who values feelings, and I am reluctant to let him take risks, but have you thought about it, if you don't solve the special forces of Little Japan this time, how many brothers will die in their hands in the future? Could it be that Liu San's life is more expensive than other people's gold? Everyone is also raised by their parents, they are all parents' baby bumps, let's discuss how to lure Little Japan out, and eliminate Little Japan's special forces as much as possible under the safety of the top soldiers," Fan Tianhao put down his gun and said to Mao Weimin with a pleasant face

"Okay, what do you do?" Mao Weimin was completely obedient
