"Brigade commander, our regiment has become entangled with the Japanese army attacking head-on, and we can't withdraw from the battle, so let the brigade commander advance into the mountains," a correspondent with a bloody face said with a crying voice

"Damn, does Wang Ning want to rebel? Let them alternately cover the retreat, what is entangled? How did you get out? Liu San scolded angrily

"Brigade commander, the regiment commander said that as soon as we retreat, the little Japanese rushed up and it would be over, and no one would be able to run away at that time, and the regiment commander asked me to tell the brigade commander that I must avenge him in the future......" The correspondent cried

"Little rabbit cub, cry your head and report the location of your troops, Lao Tzu will never leave a brother behind, kill back with me" Liu San said with tears

"Brigade commander, don't let down Commander Wang's kindness, he wants to leave a seed for our 87th Brigade, we will all explain it here as soon as we go back" Jiang Fei's face was pale, and at a glance, he knew that it was caused by excessive blood loss

"Fuck your mother's fart, when did Lao Tzu let his brother be a meat shield, you are a little show, you are afraid of death, get out of me," Liu San scolded at Jiang Fei

"Brigade commander, look at it, Situ Guang was raised by you since childhood, he was bombed and he couldn't even find his body, he opened up this road for us with his life, did he let you go back and die? Look at it, Commander Hang Tianhua, did his commando team rush up to get you back to your death? You can't be so selfish, do you want them all to sacrifice in vain? We live to avenge them in the future, not to die in vain, and now we are fighting and sacrificing here, does the court know about it? ? You don't want your brother to die in vain either? Their families are waiting for you to prove to them that they are good and heroes to make the court ...... Ahem...... I want the court to ask for credit for them and give them family benefits," Jiang Fei said excitedly, coughing incessantly

After Liu San heard this, the whole person was there, yes, the imperial court may not know the situation here now, if all of them die, their entire brigade will collectively evaporate in Chao Xian, and when the time comes, not to mention the soldiers who died here, it is possible to be said to be a mutiny

"Okay, you take them to withdraw 200 people to me first, and I'll go back to pick up ......" Liu San felt that his eyes were dark before he finished speaking, and the whole person was unconscious

"I'm sorry brigade commander, I have to take you away brothers, climb over the hillside in front, enter the mountain before dark, the Japanese devils don't want to find us," Jiang Fei said after knocking Liu San unconscious with the butt of his gun

"Yes"

The second regiment's blocking position was dark, and every soldier of the Qing Dynasty used up the last trace of strength to use all the weapons that could be used until the ammunition was exhausted, Wang Ning said to the only remaining more than 100 people around him: "Brothers, the situation there is not much better than ours at the brigade commander, the resistance of the Japanese devils in front must be more fierce than here, we hold off the enemy here for one more minute, and the brigade commander will have a better grasp of breaking through, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid" everyone said in unison

"It's already enough, and I'll pull a cushion on my back when I'm dying."

"Commander, what do you say?"

"Okay, all the bayonets have been polished, and I have practiced counter-charge during my usual training, let's do it again today, when the devil comes up, there is only one way to rush out together according to my order, I would rather die than be a prisoner of the little devil, I Wang Ning can't afford to lose this person, if you are afraid of death, say it now, I allow him to return to the brigade commander"

"My life is the head of the regiment, and I will be there where the head is"

"I ran out of bullets for my gun, and I ran out of grenades and bullets, looking for the brigade commander? It's not a burden for the brigade commander, and I can't afford to lose this person."

"Commander, if you want me to go back, shoot me directly, I'm afraid of my father, my mother, my daughter-in-law, I'm not afraid of death."

"Okay, brothers, we have been in Chao Xianwo for so many years, this will also be a vigorous once, on the Huangquan Road, we also have a companion" Wang Ning looked at these good brothers who were born and died with tears in his eyes

"Haha, my father and mother died early, and the whole family is alone, without worry, it is my blessing to go on the road with the head of the regiment"

"Commander, the little devil is touching again"

"Get on the bayonet, get ready to fight" Wang Ning looked ahead calmly

"Rush, ......" Wang Ning jumped up from the position and rushed down

More than 100 warriors followed closely, and at this time they had put life and death aside, and there was only one belief in their minds, and they would pull a cushion in death

More than 100 Qing troops and more than 1,000 people from three Japanese infantry brigades were mixed together, and it took the Japanese more than one hour to completely solve these Qing troops who were like immortal birds

Wang Ning was actually stabbed 3 times in his body, but he still fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the shock of this Qing army to the Japanese was too great, this was just an ordinary unit of the Qing army

According to the establishment of the Qing Army, the combat effectiveness of the 29th Division among the 40 divisions of the Qing Dynasty should be in the lower middle range

I really can't imagine what the 1st to 10th divisions, known as the main division of the ace of the Qing Dynasty, are like, and their victory over France and Britain does not depend entirely on delicate international relations and luck, and strength is always in the first place

Lieutenant General Katsura Taro, who was in charge of the frontal attack, rode on his horse and commanded the 3rd Division to continue to advance with a wave of his hand

Beijing, the Forbidden City still has not received any news from the DPRK and Xian, and it has been 10 days since Liu San's last telegram to the military headquarters, and the telegram sent to Seoul has also been lost

Guan Xuqing was worried about this matter, frowning and looking for something in the twists and turns in various places

"Your Majesty, secret telegram" Wang Shang handed over a telegram

"Who's?" Guan Xuqing didn't look up and continued to look for something

Wang Shang hurriedly replied: "Zhao Bingjun, General Zhao's"

Guan Xuqing hurriedly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, it was obvious that he had been seriously deprived of sleep in the past few days

"Get it"

"Chirp"

Guan Xuqing took the telegram and read it, Zhao Bingjun was worthy of being an excellent intelligence officer, and he had basically figured out the situation in only two days after he arrived in the DPRK

"Go and call Prince Gong, Li Hongzhang, and Feng Xianghua to me," Guan Xuqing said

"Chirp"

After a while, the three of them hurried to the Heart Cultivation Palace

"The minister knocks to see the emperor," said everyone on their knees

"All up" Guan Xuqing waved his hand and continued: "I just received a secret report from Zhao Bingjun, and the situation of Chao Xian has finally figured out that the king of Chao Xian and the Dongxue rebels have signed an armistice agreement, and they will be governed separately with Pyongyang as the boundary, but the Dongxue Party is a Japanese minion, and the Japanese army has just signed the agreement, and the Japanese army landed in Chao Xian, surrounded our 29th Division and 87 Brigade in North Korea, and fought fiercely all night, Liu San's life and death are unknown, according to Zhao Bingjun's feedback, the local people saw that our Qing army abandoned corpses, but the Japanese army did not seem to take any advantage, The casualty ratio is basically 1 to 1, what do you think? Guan Xuqing read it according to the telegram

Li Hongzhang said: "Japan deceived people too much, and actually provoked civil strife in the DPRK and Xian, which is a serious provocation to our Qing Dynasty, and the DPRK and Xian are our Qing Dynasty vassals, and this behavior is to provoke a war between the two countries, and I ask the emperor to allow his ministers to negotiate with the Japanese minister and condemn his behavior of ignoring our Qing Dynasty."

"Well, negotiation is a must, Uncle Six, what do you think?" Guan Xuqing turned his gaze to Prince Gong

"The minister feels that Zhao Bingjun's secret report alone is not enough to explain the problem, and he should contact the troops stationed in North Korea as soon as possible to understand the situation and then discuss."

"Yes, is it true that a telegram alone is not enough to explain the problem? Tell me about it," Guan Xuqing finally looked at Feng Xianghua

"The minister believes that no matter what the situation in the DPRK and Xian is, the life and death of our Qing troops in the DPRK and Xian are unknown, and the rebellion of the DPRK and Xian is undecided, and troops should be sent into the DPRK to stabilize the overall situation, as Zhao Bingjun said, we should negotiate with Japan and let it withdraw its troops, and the DPRK and Xian are our Qing Dynasty vassal states, and everyone knows that if it is not for Zhao Bingjun's words, it will not be too late to deal with his crimes."

"Well, it's a way Sixth Uncle, what do you see?" Guan Xuqing nodded with satisfaction and looked at Prince Gong

"The minister also feels that this trip is the safest"

"General Feng has thought it through, Li Hongzhang admires," Li Hongzhang flattered

"Okay, let the 1st and 7th Divisions of the Northeast Group Army enter Chaoxian and clarify the situation as soon as possible," Guan Xuqing said

"Chirp"
