Chapter 261: The Fainting Emperor

Mobile reading

At this time, it was not Zhu Mingyuan and his 118th Regiment stationed in the first line of defense, they had been replaced after a fierce battle with the Fourth Division in the morning, and now it was the 119th Regiment that was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army here, and the regiment commander was called Qian Xiaoshan.

Don't look at Qian Xiaoshan's name is a bit vulgar, but he is a very intelligent young man, with excellent military skills, although he is only in his twenties, he has trained the 119th Regiment into a model regiment of the second division, and his combat effectiveness is also very strong.

"Sue the 2nd Battalion, be careful not to let the enemy attack from the flank, and don't patronize your head." Qian Xiaoshan shouted at the communication soldier.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were charging towards the position outside like they were desperate, Qian Xiaoshan pouted, "We occupy a favorable location, and our firepower is a hundred times stronger than yours, and I am afraid that the little devils will play with their lives, and no one will collect the corpses for you when they die, a bunch of brainless goods." ”

"Organize mortars to bomb me for a round, let the little devils slow me down, don't let them see a little hope." Qian Xiaoshan gave the order again.

After a short time, each company let its mortar men start to drop bombs, and for a time there were explosions on the position, and after a few minutes of bombardment, and after the smoke cleared, there were not many Japanese soldiers who could stand up, and this round of attack was once again declared a failure.

"Baga, Baga, the enemy's firepower is too strong to rush through at all, which will only make the soldiers die in vain." A brigade commander saw that most of the charging soldiers were killed or wounded by the mortars of the Huafu Army, and he threw the telescope in his hand to the ground in distress.

Gangmura Nagataro and Utsunomiya Taro also saw the attack from a distance, and the two of them were also uncomfortable in their hearts, the attack was blocked, and the enemy's firepower was so strong, but they couldn't help the soldiers from risking their lives to charge under unfavorable circumstances, and the two of them, as commanders, couldn't come up with any effective methods, and they were really uncomfortable.

They were all elite Imperial Army commanders who had fought in the Russo-Japanese War, and Okamura Chotaro had also been a commander in the invasion of Korea. They are all veterans of battle, and when have they encountered such an unmanageable opponent.

"I think it's better to organize artillery and carry out a round of artillery bombardment on the enemy's positions to suppress the enemy's fire, so that we have a chance to seize the position." Gangmura Chief Taro said.

Utsunomiya Taro thought for a while, "The artillery unit must pay attention to concealment, my artillery regiment was discovered by the enemy." It was blown up by the opponent's artillery. ”

"Well, tell me to go down. Let the artillery regiment find favorable and concealed terrain, shell the enemy's positions, tell the attacking troops, and wait for our artillery bombardment, seize the opportunity to charge. Okamura Chief Taro gave the order to the staff officer.

The artillery units of the Japanese army began to shell, but because the angle was not good, less than half of the shells that could reach the position of the Huafu army, and the others flew to other places, but that's it. It also caused casualties in the position of the Huafu Army for the first time.

The Japanese made very good use of the shady side of a mound to block the sight of the Huafu army, and completed the sneak attack and artillery bombardment.

"Phew" Qian Xiaoshan spat out the foam in his mouth, and then shouted to the communicator, "Hurry up and contact all battalions, count the casualties, and treat the wounded in time." ”

With that, he hammered the dirt slope in front of the trench. scolded in his mouth: "Damn, let the little devil sneak attack, this time I will definitely be taught a lesson by the division commander when I go back." ”

"Do you see where the shells are coming from?" Qian Xiaoshan asked the guards beside him.

"Regiment commander, the cannon is coming from behind the mound, we are just blocked here, and we can't see the situation clearly." The guard said.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to do anything if I hid behind. Give me the coordinates of the mound, tell the artillery regiment from which coordinates to extend to shell me, I will blow up the small mound for him, and it is useless to hide behind. Qian Xiaoshan said fiercely.

Two minutes later, the retaliatory shelling of the Huafu army began, which had been carried out after this round of shelling. The artillery regiment of the Japanese 1st Division was still preparing to disassemble the artillery and transport it to other places, but the Huafu army moved too fast, and before they could finish dismantling, the shells fell on the position.

The sound of the "boom, boom, boom" shells exploding on the ground was completely different from the sound of the explosion of the Japanese 75 Mountain Artillery shells, which was a ruinous explosion, which was heard very clearly by the Japanese temporary headquarters a few miles away.

This round of shelling lasted for a full ten minutes, and the shells covered the mound one by one, and the three-dimensional intersection was bombarded in all directions without dead ends.

"Hurry up and contact the artillery regiment to see if it has been evacuated." Gang Village Chief Taro shouted anxiously.

After a short time, the staff officer reported: "Your Excellency, division commander, our artillery regiment has been attacked, and the enemy's retaliatory artillery bombardment came too suddenly, and no one in the artillery regiment has withdrawn, and all the pieces have been shattered. ”

Oka Village Chief Taro opened his mouth slightly, his breathing was a little stagnant, and he felt a little dizzy in his head, "How can it be so fast, how can the enemy's artillery be so powerful." ”

Utsunomiya Taro didn't speak on the side, he was also very sad in his heart, sad that the attack was not good, but deep down, there was a trace of snickering, although even he didn't want to admit it, but where did he buy it for a moment, but there was such a thought in his heart,

His Fourth Division lost most of its combat strength in just one morning, and he felt that he had no way to explain to the military department, and he was likely to be removed or even held accountable after the war, but now that the First Division had suffered the same fate as himself, it felt really good to have someone to accompany him, and even the most elite First Division of the empire had suffered heavy losses, so he could say that he had passed, and maybe he could still escape the catastrophe.

It was getting dark, and by noon the snow had stopped, and there was not much snow, only a thin layer on the ground, but it turned everything white.

After this round of attack, the 1st Division also suffered heavy losses, and after collecting the remnants and wounded, it returned to its own position, and the two sides still confronted each other.

The 4th Division was not idle when the 1st Division was attacking, and began to build a large number of fortifications and dig trenches on their own side, and they wanted to turn this place into a large battlefield to stop the advance of the Huafu army.

However, Hua Fujun really didn't want to attack now, and the two sides just formed a tacit understanding, and they both fell silent when the night came, taking stock of their gains and losses and future.

At this time in the Japanese Imperial Palace, Emperor Taisho was lying in a large bedroom, with a white towel on his head, Emperor Taisho's face at this time was white and frightening, his eyes were closed, and only his chest was slightly floating up and down, showing that he was still a living person here.

Kneeling around sat many important Japanese figures, such as Crown Prince Hirohito, the elder Saionji Konobo, Yama Prefecture Aritomo, Prime Minister Terauchi Masashi, and many cabinet members, including Umi Minister Kato Yuzaburo and Land Minister Kenichi Oshima.

The silence in the room was terrible, no one dared to make a sound, and everyone had heavy expressions and looked at His Majesty the Taisho Emperor of Japan who was in a coma.

Well, Taisho was unconscious, and after hearing the report of the cabinet that all the warships of the Navy had been sunk by the Huafuku fleet of the South China Kingdom, the Yokosuka military port was occupied, and the attack of the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army was blocked, and the losses were heavy, his head felt as if he had been smashed by a giant hammer, and a huge buzzing sound sounded in his ears, his face turned pale, his body trembled, and then he fell directly to the ground of the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Taisho's health has not been very good, in addition to brain disease, his body has also been damaged, if it were not for the careful care of the imperial family's doctors, it is estimated that he would have survived until now.

Suddenly, hearing such shocking news, Emperor Taisho's heart was overwhelmed, and he fainted directly, of course, it is still impossible to tell whether he was angry or frightened.

After a period of chaos, the Imperial Palace finally stabilized, Crown Prince Hirohito came, the patriarch Saionji Gongwang and Yama Prefecture Aritomo were also invited, now is the most critical moment for the empire, and a countermeasure must be come up, Emperor Taisho has been in a coma for four or five hours now, and the doctor said that it is just a simple coma, and there is no danger to people, so these people can relax a little.

Emperor Taisho opened his eyes leisurely, his lips opened and he often let out a breath, rolled his eyes, and saw a group of important imperial ministers kneeling beside him, and he felt a little better.

"Father, are you feeling better?"

"Your Majesty, you're awake." Everyone stepped forward to greet them.

"Who can tell me what really happened and why the empire has come to this point." Emperor Taisho did not speak loudly because he was weak, but every word was knocked on the hearts of these ministers.

No one wants to talk about it, but as the current head of the government, Terauchi has to do it.

"Your Majesty, it is the incompetence of the ministers and other ministers that has caused the empire to suffer heavy losses, and please take care of your body." After Terauchi Masashi finished speaking, he knelt in front of Emperor Taisho.

At this time, Emperor Taisho had already asked Crown Prince Hirohito to prop up his upper body, looked at Terauchi Masayi who was kneeling in front of him, glanced at the ministers again, and said: "Since the Meiji Restoration, my father has worked hard and worked hard to make the empire under the heavy pressure of the European powers, please colonize it, and develop into a country that can talk to European countries and be proud of East Asia. ”

"This is all the important ministers and people of the empire, with all their efforts, after getting such a result, all along, we have been developing step by step in accordance with the designated national policy, and step by step encroaching on the dying Eastern Empire Huaguo, and received very good results."

"But why, in such a short period of time, the empire has been hit one after another, so that it has fallen to this point."

"That Guo Yu, as well as his Nanhua Kingdom, Huafu Army, is the biggest enemy of the empire, and it is also the biggest disaster, since the fight against Guo Yu and the empire, the empire has been damaged one after another, and has suffered heavy losses, and now you sue me, even the combined fleet has been sunk, so is there a way out for the empire."
