Under the order of Nie Yuanzheng, the soldiers of the 7th, 8th, and 9th Divisions of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army, who had been holding the forward position, began to 'defeat' the army under the command of the division commanders, brigade commanders, and regiment commanders, and 'escaped' from the positions they had held for nearly a day in batches.

Before withdrawing from the position, the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army took away everything they could take away, and all the cat's ear holes used to defend against artillery were also blown up, leaving nothing for the Yue Army.

The army didn't know why, they all thought that they had repelled the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army, but they didn't know that they had fallen into the trap of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

When the sun set in the sky, the entire three divisions of the army all poured to the west bank of the Yalu River, completely occupied the first defensive position held by the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army for three days and three nights, and began to repair the fortifications.

Just as the army was happily preparing to make a fire to cook and enjoy a victorious dinner, the shells of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army came.

In this 'feast' at dusk, Nie Yuanzheng prepared more than 200 heavy artillery pieces of various calibers and models for the army, as well as more than 200 heavy mortars and more than 400 medium mortars.

Taken together, more than 1,000 artillery pieces were simultaneously raining shells, high-explosive shells, incendiary bombs, and poison gas bombs on the positions occupied by the Japanese army...... Explosions on the positions one after another.

In front of the army is the second line of defense of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army, which is thousands of kilometers away, and behind it is the rolling Yalu River, with no way to advance and no way to retreat.

Under the merciless artillery fire, the Japanese army has been 'immortalized', and they have used their lives to serve their Emperor Majesty in the underworld.

The heavy shelling lasted from the time the sun set until nightfall, with more than 1,000 artillery pieces firing more than 100,000 shells.

After the shelling ended, less than 20,000 of the three divisions and more than 60,000 troops were still alive, of which at least 5,000 were crippled for life, and most of the remaining 15,000 or so were also painted, and less than 5,000 were intact.

After the end of the shelling, while it was still dark, the Dragon and Tiger Army launched the final charge, and the soldiers of the 7th, 8th, and 9th Divisions who had withdrawn from their positions more than two hours ago had no complaints about their previous complaints, and some only had the joy of winning the battle!

When night really came, there was no longer a living army on the west bank of the Yalu River, because the Dragon and Tiger Army thoroughly carried out the idea instilled in them by Wang Jundao: Anyone who invades China, on the battlefield, do not take prisoners!

As a result, except for a small number of Yue troops with better water surnames, who chose to swim across the river, the rest of the Yue troops who escaped under artillery fire were all killed under the submachine guns of the dragon and tiger army.

The Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army once again proved to the world that China's territory cannot be invaded by foreign countries with iron and blood, guns and cannons!

When the news of the victory of the Yalu River reached Yanjing, Wang Jundao had just rushed back to the palace, and before he had time to warm up with the women of Mingyue in the mountains, he couldn't wait to rush to the military hall.

When they arrived at the military hall, Lin Zhengnan and Pang Wei were already waiting for him, in fact, these days, they have never left the military hall for half a step.

Wang Jundao asked excitedly: "Tell me about the specific process of this battle, I want to hear it." ”

Lin Zhengnan excitedly explained the specific process, and at the end he praised Nie Yuanzheng vigorously.

After hearing this, Wang Jundao nodded frequently: "Not bad, Lao Nie really didn't disappoint me, let him deal with Xiao Yueben, that's absolutely right, originally I planned to add more troops to Liaodong, but now it seems that I am afraid that there will not be so many soldiers." ”

Lin Zhengnan nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation, it is true that there are not so many soldiers in a short period of time, but after today's battle, Xiao Yueben has suffered a big loss, and I am afraid that he will be annoyed and angry, and the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry." ”

Wang Jundao smiled disdainfully, and said: "No matter how high the means are, it is not much better, across the Yalu River, it is nothing more than using artillery shells against our soldiers just like we did with them, and ordering Nie Yuanzheng to withdraw the large troops on the position, leaving only the engineering troops to re-dig the cat's ear hole and rebuild the defensive position in the shortest possible time." ”

Lin Zhengnan nodded, but Pang Wai said with a smile: "I'm afraid that it's about to be dug now." ”

Wang Jundao said suddenly: "Well, in Lao Nie's eyes, I won't think of this, but I also want to remind him, let him pay attention to the emotions of the soldiers, don't be complacent and complacent because of this battle, so as to relax your vigilance, the main force of the army is still behind, and the big war and the vicious battle are still behind." ”

Lin Zhengnan thought for a while and said: "The best way is to replace the 7th, 8th, and 9th divisions, and then replace the 34th, 35th, and 36th divisions. ”

Wang Jundao nodded, it is indeed necessary to take turns, after all, the credit cannot be obtained by such a part of the troops, otherwise it will definitely attract complaints and dissatisfaction, and in the long run, there will be a gap between the army and the army.

Military merits must also be balanced, not one dominant, he doesn't want his troops to be like Lao Jiang, part of it is raised by the aunt, part of it is raised by the little mother, part of it is raised by the wet nurse, and even worse, it is directly without a mother.

Wang Jundao said: "Lao Nie can definitely take this into account, but it is also necessary to remind him, by the way, where did the five divisions from the south of Heilongjiang arrive?" ”

Pang Wai replied: "I have already arrived in Harbin." ”

Wang Jundao nodded, and asked again: "Has the Second Army of the Guards Regiment landed?" Where did the Fourth and Sixth Armies arrive? ”

Pang Wai nodded and said: "The Second Army has safely arrived in Donggang an hour ago, and it is estimated that they have all landed now, and the Fourth Army and the Sixth Army are about to arrive in Tianjin, and at most at noon, they can board the ships going to Liaodong." ”

Wang Jundao asked again: "What about the divine sword and sharp arrows?" ”

Pang Wei said: "The news was sent before dark, and it was less than 100 miles away from Pyongyang City, and it has not been discovered by the army so far. ”

Wang Jundao paused for a moment and said: "Tomorrow at six o'clock in the morning, send a report to the Excalibur and the sharp arrow, let them act separately, act as horns for each other, and act in the northern region of Korea. ”

Pang Wai nodded and said, "Yes, Commander!" ”

……

North Korea, Pyongyang, the headquarters of the Korean army, the commander-in-chief of the army and minister of the army, Terauchi Masayi, was furious at this time, and all the high-ranking commanders of the military were silent at this time, and they did not even dare to breathe, for fear of making Terauchi Masayi even more angry, so that he would do something that was not conducive to the safety of their lives.

In a whole day, the army lost more than 90,000 people on the Yalu River, and with the soldiers lost in the previous period, the army lost more than 100,000 soldiers on the Yalu River.

Three days, 100,000 soldiers were lost in three days, with the strength of the army in Korea, how many such three days can be supported?

However, the death of 100,000 soldiers in battle is not the most terrible, what is terrible is the fierce reputation of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army!

Now the whole army has fallen into a deep fear of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army, and it has even reached the point of talking about the Dragon and Tiger Army.

In such a situation, let alone defeat the Dragon and Tiger Army, no one dares to cross the river to fight for fear of giving orders, because for the Yue army, the other side of the Yalu River is hell and a battlefield of death.

From the beginning of the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, until last year's Battle of Northeast China, and now the Battle of the Yalu River, the original elite army of the Yue Army has almost been lost, and the rest of the army, except for a few divisions such as the Guards Division stationed on the mainland, most of the remaining divisions and regiments have only been formed for about half a year, and many divisions and regiments have only undergone three or four months of training.

Such an army, which has never even been on the battlefield, how can it dare to fight with the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army, which is like a dragon and a tiger and has never been defeated so far?

This is the reason why Terauchi Masaki is the most angry and worried!

Masaki Tsunai roared angrily: "What about Kuroki Weizhen? How could the empire raise a fool like him? Why didn't he cut his stomach by the Yalu River to apologize to the samurai who were loyal to the empire and to His Majesty the Emperor? How could he still have the face to pass on this news to me? ”

In view of the attack on China, the army has dispatched 22 divisions and regiments, temporarily organized into four corps, Hei Mu Weizhen is the commander of the First Army, under his command there are five divisions and more than 110,000 people, but also the main force of the Yalu River offensive battle, but unfortunately in just three days, the First Army lost 100,000 soldiers, resulting in the first army almost completely annihilated.

This time, the temple was angry, and the headquarters could hear the needle drop for a while, and no one dared to provoke him at this time, after all, 100,000 troops were killed in three days, and such a crime, no matter how big the reason, could not be excused.

After this battle, Kuroki Weizhen is completely finished, obviously the temple is going to push all the sins on Kuroki Weizhen's body, let him carry the black cauldron, who will touch the head at this time? Isn't that impatient?

After a long while, Nogi Noshinori, commander of the Third Army and chief of staff of the Third Army, asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, what should we do now?" Continue to increase the number of troops? Or a temporary halt to the offensive? ”

Terauchi Masayi calmed down the anger in his heart, calmed down, and said lightly: "Now we only have less than 100,000 troops of the Second Army in Longchuan County, and there are only more than 80,000 troops in the Pyongyang area, and the remaining 20,000 people are scattered all over Korea, and the Chinese & Army has at least 1230,000 troops in Andong, we don't have an advantage in weapons, so let's stop the offensive for the time being." ”

Nogi Noshinori suddenly smiled gloomily and said, "Your Excellency Commander, don't we still have the Korean army?" There are at least 500,000 people, so why not let the North Korean army attack the Chinese & army? ”

Terauchi Masashi said: "Those North Korean soldiers have weak combat effectiveness and backward weapons, how can they be the opponents of China & the army?" Well, let them consume the Chinese's bullets, and let China and Korea completely enmity themselves, pass on my order, the commander of the Second Army, Obaogong, personally supervise the battle, let the 100,000 Korean troops east of Longchuan County enter Longchuan County and be ready to cross the river at any time to attack the Chinese & army, and tell the Korean Emperor Li Xi to send orders to all parts of Korea to mobilize at least 200,000 troops to Yongchuan County to resist the Chinese & army, and let Li Xi tell the Korean people that the Chinese & army is going to invade Korea, occupy the Korean land, and occupy their homeland, to destroy North Korea. ”

Nogi Noshinori happily received the order: "Haiyi, I'll do it." (To be continued.) )
