Chapter 121: Breakout

Inside the Qing army barracks on Jeju Island

"Brigade commander, the reconnaissance company has just scratched its tongue, and the situation has finally figured out that the Japanese encirclement force is the First Army under the command of General Aritomo Yamagu, including the 3rd Division of Lieutenant General Katsura Taro and the 5th Division of Lieutenant General Nozu Michikan, a total of 50,000 people, who have no intention of doing anything to us at present, but only to help the Peasant Army of the Chao Xian Dong Xue Party to govern the Southern Dynasty Xian," an adjutant reported

"What*** Southern Dynasty Xian, Chao Xian is Chao Xian" Liu San asked suspiciously

"Brigade Commander, now King Xian and the rebel leaders have signed an armistice agreement, with Pyongyang as the boundary, the south is called Nanchao Xian, and the rebel army governs the northern Dynasty, Xiangui Dynasty and King Xian governs the Japanese army, and the Japanese army is governed by the Southern Chao Xian at the invitation of Shangdao to assist in governance," the adjutant explained

"Fart, the dynasty and the Xian are all canonized by my Qing emperor, what kind of bullshit agreement do they sign? What kind of green onion does little Japan count? him," Liu San said scoldingly

"General, the telegram can't be sent now, and it's not clear what the court means, you ...... it?"

"What is not clear, the imperial court doesn't let us take care of it ourselves, let us defeat the rebels, don't care how many Japanese devils come, first highlight which one to meet with the DPRK and Xian abroad, and then make a conclusion" Liu San made up his mind

"However, I'm afraid that the two reuniters outside are ......," Jiang Fei said worriedly at this time

"I see you've been comfortable for a long time, what's this? Now the guy in his hand is good, how can he be so brave that he hasn't done anything with the Japanese, and I have ordered all troops to assemble immediately and prepare to break through" Liu San interrupted Jiang Fei's words

"Yes," the adjutant turned and left the barracks

There was a distance from Jeju Island to Pyongyang, and after determining the route of the breakout, Liu San convened a brief meeting to assign the tasks of each regiment, and Jiang Fei also made a highly incendiary pre-war mobilization, where the first shot of the war against Japan would be fired

"Qing army, please return to the barracks, which has become the land of the Korean Empire, and then inform the Daqing government to take you back by warship," the Japanese interpreter shouted in pure Chinese to the Qing troops coming out of the barracks

"These ***s, why do you want to rebel? This is my subject country of the Qing Dynasty, and it is his turn to be here to be a fool of himself, and I will kill him, are you sure? Liu San said to the guards beside him

"Brigade commander, just look at it, our brigade is also the most accurate in my marksmanship," Ergouzi said and took out the Hanyang rifle that the military department had just equipped them

"Bang ......" "Bang, Bang, Bang" "Bang ......"

With the sound of a gunshot, the Chinese translator who was still shouting loudly just now suddenly lost signs of life, and a thumb-sized blood hole appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and blood continued to gush out

At the same time, the Qing army's side opened fire with light and heavy weapons, and beat the Japanese army at a point in the encirclement, and they did not think that the Qing army would use force against themselves so hastily, and they were a little blindsided all of a sudden

"General, the Qing army is attacking us, and it looks like they want to break through," an adjutant said to Youpeng in Shanxian County

"Are the Qing people crazy? Their radio stations were no longer able to communicate with the country, and what spurred them to do it, surrounded by our two field divisions? Youpeng in Shan County shouted excitedly

"General, do you want to annihilate them?" The adjutant asked

"Does the Qing State still think that it is a great power that all the nations came to the court before? This old empire is already rotten, and the Great Japanese Empire will replace them, pass on my orders, and destroy this Chinese army" Yama Prefecture Aritomo seemed to have made a lot of determination

"Hayi"

After being stunned for a moment, the Japanese immediately recovered and attacked Liu San, who was preparing to break through, and I have to say that the development of the Japanese Army in recent years has indeed been quite fast, and it is like two Japanese troops who met Liu San in Korea and Xianshi a few years ago

The troops in front of them have strong cooperative combat capabilities, and the coordination of the infantry and artillery arms is also quite skilled, often as soon as the artillery stops, the infantry has already rushed to the front, if it weren't for Liu San's troops desperately resisting, the position of the group that might be responsible for blocking would have been broken a long time ago

At this time, Liu San was leading the remaining two regiments, breaking through from the weakest direction of the Japanese encirclement and covering the artillery camp for less than 10 minutes, Liu San led the 2nd and 3rd regiments to rush forward and start a hand-to-hand battle

In recent years, the development of the Japanese army is inseparable from the economic support of Britain and France, but the Japanese themselves also attach great importance to the soldiers' individual combat ability, especially after the Sino-French and Sino-British wars, they saw that the Qing troops had excellent hand-to-hand combat capabilities, and specially let the troops learn hand-to-hand combat tactics

Therefore, in this hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese did not fall behind, and the casualty ratio of 387:396 can show the intensity of hand-to-hand combat

"Brigade commander, a regiment is almost unable to withstand the report of the front sharp soldier group, and there are at least 3 blockade lines of the Japanese army," a black-faced communications soldier said anxiously

"***, I haven't seen a lot of improvement in the combat effectiveness of Little Japan in a few years, it's enjoyable, it's enjoyable, the second regiment builds a defensive position on the spot, and lets the first regiment withdraw after 30 minutes, and the 3rd regiment follows me to continue to rush" Liu San made arrangements in an instant

"Yes"

After Liu San broke through the first blockade line of the Japanese army, he advanced less than 2 kilometers before encountering a Japanese infantry wing that was rushing towards him

"Brigade commander, look at this formation, there is a wing, but there are no heavy weapons, why don't we just fight here and wait for a group?" Jiang Fei said with a red face

Liu San thought about it for a moment and said, "Wait a fart, the Japanese army has already discovered our breakthrough route, don't you dare to see that we are going here?" Order the artillery battalion to prepare for the attack, and everyone to get on their bayonets and prepare for the attack"

"Brigade commander, we only have less than 2,000 men and horses in our hands, and there are more than 3,000 people in a wing on the other side, you also saw it just now, the little Japanese fight with bayonets twice, what do you use to break through when the troops are gone?" Jiang Fei said sadly

"You kid knows a fart, every minute we drag on, the situation of the two of us is dangerous, destroy this group of enemies, a group should also arrive, and then rush together If you wait for a group to come up, little Japan is also well defended, and there are 50,000 people in two divisions, and you have more people than others?? Let's compare time, don't talk nonsense, go and prepare" Liu San stared at Jiang Fei and scolded

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The Japanese troops who were marching hurriedly rushed over after receiving the signal for help from the defenders here, but they were shelled while they were still on the way

"Get down, get down," the Japanese wing commander Xiao Zong ordered loudly

The Japanese army has not yet reacted to where the cannon came from, and even the Japanese don't know where the Qing ** team rushed out, but they just lay on the ground during the artillery bombardment, and when the artillery fire stopped, they looked up and saw that there were already Qing ** teams around

A fierce hand-to-hand fight unfolded again, Liu San held a saber in his hand, which was issued at this award ceremony, although he did not go to Beijing to participate in the award ceremony, but the division commander Fan Tianhao personally sent this saber that means power to Liu San's hands

But Liu San always felt that this knife was more convenient to cut meat when he was used for barbecue, so that he felt awkward to pin it to his waist all day long, and now he held the saber in his hand and swayed his passion on the battlefield

I saw Liu San holding a knife in one hand and slashing horizontally in front of him, leaving an afterimage in the air, the chest cavity of the two Japanese soldiers in front of him was cut, and a warm blood spilled a strong smell of blood to Liu San, this veteran has become accustomed to such a scene, no wonder stepping on the corpse of the Japanese step by step, although the Japanese hurriedly entered the hand-to-hand combat, but its reaction ability still had to make Liu San feel the strength of the Japanese combat strength the more he fought to the end

Standing to the last ordinary Japanese soldier, or holding a rifle with a bayonet to attack the Qing army, this kind of soldier's temperament also made Liu San quite admired, after an hour of fierce fighting, Liu San only had more than 300 people left around him, and the Japanese reinforcements would never arrive at the designated reinforcement location

As soon as the battle ended, the regiment that withdrew from the position also arrived, and the situation was not much stronger than the third regiment, and there were more than 700 heads, and Liu San barely gathered 1,000 people and continued to break through to the original route

"Tell the 2nd Regiment to hold on to the same place for 2 hours and then retreat according to the original route," Liu San said to the correspondent beside him

"Yes"

"Brigade commander, the spearhead group has discovered the Japanese army, the number of people is ominous, and they are building a defensive position, and it seems that they have just arrived here."

"Damn, do you have any heavy weapons?" Liu San asked

"Not found for the time being, further observation is underway"

"Tell the troops, prepare for battle," Liu San yelled behind him

From the breakthrough to now has gone through a full 5 hours of fighting, looking at the troops below, almost everyone has big or small injuries, although several battles are mainly hand-to-hand combat, ammunition to not much loss, but everyone's physical strength has reached the limit, not to mention the battle of fighting with life, that is, the continuous 5 hours of rapid marching also makes the average soldier who has just enlisted unbearable

Liu San shook his head helplessly, the time left for him was not rich, and waiting for one more minute might lead to an additional Japanese blockade, and there was no more time for his troops to adjust and rest

"Third Regiment Commander, immediately organize the assault team to touch up and blow up those heavy machine guns, and a regiment of them will be on standby, listen to my orders," Liu San ordered

"Yes"

"Brigade commander, after here, the troops can rush into the mountains, where the Japanese can't find us anyway, find an opportunity to go to Pyongyang again," Jiang Fei said, clutching his stomach

Liu San looked at Jiang Fei, this show talent is capable of literature and martial arts, and when he fought with a bayonet, he was not stabbed in the stomach, and he was stunned and did not say anything

"Well, it's good to inform the second regiment, alternately cover the retreat, we will wait for them in the mountains" Liu San nodded

"Yes"
