Chapter 168: The Qing Army Dispatches
This is the humiliation of Chiguoguo! It's even more hateful than stabbing them in the heart with a bayonet!
Hideyama Takeda rushed to the brigade headquarters, which was not too far away, and found Oshima Yoshimasa holding a large bowl and drinking soup unhurriedly. Looking at the expression on his face, I didn't know what I thought he was eating. Actually, it's just a bowl of porridge.
Nakasa couldn't understand why His Excellency the Major General, who was more anxious than him, could be so calm. I believe that the mountain wind has blown the smell here, and he can actually bear it?
Before he had time to think about it, Takeda Hideyama shouted angrily: "Your Excellency Major General! I ask to lead the soldiers of my headquarters and launch another charge against the enemy's position! This time, even if you die on it, you will never back down! ”
Oshima Yoshimasa drank the last sip of soup, handed the bowl to the orderly next to him, glanced at him indifferently, and said quietly: "No." ”
"Why?!"
Takeda Xiushan's eyes erupted with fire, staring directly at the major general, if you don't give me a decent answer in that posture, I will get off the fire and kill you.
Of course, this is an old Japanese tradition, which has been around for hundreds of years. It's not unusual for an officer to pop up once in a while and do it.
Oshima didn't seem to sense the danger, so he took the towel and wiped his mouth to make sure there were no unsightly things like food scraps. Glancing at him lightly, he said, "Are you sure that you can break through the enemy's defense?" ”
Takeda Hideyama said: "...... No! But....... ”
Before he could finish speaking, Oshima Yoshimasa waved his hand: "I'm not sure, why should I allow you to deplete your precious troops without authorization?" Nakasa. Don't forget the jì. Our ultimate mission. It was a qiē Qing army that expelled in Goryeo. Until then, nothing that has nothing to do with the fundamental goal cannot be done! ”
Don't you want to attack the level ahead?
Nakasa wanted to ask impulsively, but he immediately came up with his own answer. It seems that there is really no absolute correlation!
In fact, until now, they haven't even figured out which part of the enemy on the other side is. The other party has no intention of talking. From beginning to end, it just stopped them from moving forward.
When Yoshimasa Oshima looked at his face, he knew that this guy had come to his senses, and immediately raised his chin high to restore his former arrogant posture. shouted: "You have to figure it out! As long as any person or force participates in a war, it will inevitably have the interests it pursues. There is absolutely no one in the world who helps people for no reason! Although I didn't determine the identity of the blockers in front of me, they must have wanted something to help Qingguo. ”
There is no absolute fool who can be a general.
Yoshimasa Oshima can stand where he is today. Being trusted to lead an advance force is enough to show that it is excellent. It is recognized by the base camp.
After yesterday's impulse, he himself gradually calmed down and began to reflect on the mistakes and omissions. Naturally, I got some kind of answer. The other party is not the Qing army, they have repeatedly been unable to get along with the empire, first of all, there must be a grudge.
However, judging from the fact that he did not take a position and disclose his identity before, he did not declare the contradiction to the world. So, is there an article that can be done here? Like, negotiations?
Human beings are all animals of interest, and there is almost no such thing as a self-benefit that is purely harmful to others. The act of war is not child's play, and those guys in front of it will inevitably gain their own benefits from the Nissin war.
The reason why he has been silent until now is that on the one hand, there is really no good way, and on the other hand, he wants to find an answer.
In the middle of the night, Oshima Yoshimasa sent a number of reconnaissance teams to try to climb over the mountains and find a way to attack Dongxian Ridge, but now there is no result. He also sent people to the rear to step up contact with the division headquarters to inform them of the relevant situation, and they were still on the way.
He also thought about sending someone to negotiate, but as soon as he walked out, he was killed by a sniper...... This road is not working.
Including the British, they are also actively thinking, what is the way of the guy in front of him, and what does he want to do? Understanding this problem may be the least costly way to break the game.
It's a pity that so far, he hasn't figured it out.
Takeda Hideyama was shocked by his words, and couldn't help but think about the possibilities. But after thinking about it, there is no sign of it! It will only make people more and more confused.
Oshima Yoshimasa sighed: "You go back first, continue to organize the team, calm the morale of the army, and wait for the order of the brigade headquarters." ”
The 21st Wing has actually been broken up, and it is impossible to find a fully formed squadron. The rest of the people have to be reintegrated, and it's really not that easy. You can't just start attacking and let dozens of people rush in a group, right?
So it had to be reorganized temporarily.
Drove the people away, Oshima Yoshimasa came out of his hiding place, stood on the top of a small hill, looked at the cave fairy ridge from afar, and had mixed feelings in his heart.
His position was actually very far ahead, and he could be hit by the enemy's artillery fire. But persevering here is a way of showing courage and determination. Moreover, in the past, it was rare to destroy people's headquarters and artillery positions at every turn from a distance of several kilometers - in previous wars, most of the artillery was fired at close range. Wars with warp firepower are still few.
The green smoke on the Dongxian Ridge is faint, and it is not particularly clear to see. But the large number of corpses at the foot of the mountain was particularly glaring, and it was impossible to go up and clean it up.
"What a catastrophe!"
Oshima Yoshimasa sighed from the bottom of his heart, arrogant and arrogant like him, and had to admit that there are still higher powerhouses in this world after all.
All afternoon, the Japanese army did not wait for any good news.
The reason why Dongxian Ridge is dangerous is that it can't be bypassed at all in the position with the card. The lofty mountains on the east side and the Datong River on the west side are all within the range of its frontal fire blockade. Unless everyone in the Japanese army can get a steel plate to carry it, they can still rush through. Right now? I can only manage to take this place!
When it got dark, all the reconnaissance teams came back to report the unfortunate bad news. Oshima Yoshimasa frowned, and circled around the brigade headquarters like a donkey. He understood that the starting advantage of this battle had been completely exhausted by him.
Pyongyang, more than 40 kilometers away, is a different story.
After Ma Yukun got the information handed over by Shi Jianfei's superiors, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately went into the city to find Ye Zhichao and several general soldiers to discuss countermeasures - this matter can't be hidden, and he doesn't want to eat alone to attract hatred.
But unexpectedly, Ye Zhichao shook his head vigorously when he heard it: "This matter is never credible!" is just a businessman, even if he has thousands of troops in his hands, he can't stop the Japanese soldiers! If he can do it, what do you want us to do as murderers? Master Ma is still serious about holding the position! ”
Ma Yukun was also angry, and he refuted with a blow of his beard and glare: "Lao Tzu can trust his generals, they will not lie to Lao Tzu!" Lao Tzu believes that Boss Yang is definitely not a person who talks about it, and besides, this cave immortal ridge-shaped shì diagram is not fake, right? ”
Shi Jianfei is a great talent, and in a moment, he used a very simple comparison to outline a defensive deployment map, proving the danger of the place. Although the rest of the information is fuzzy, it is enough for a group of veteran military leaders to see the importance.
Ye Zhichao was a single-minded runner and couldn't listen to anything: "Master Ma, you just said that you came to break the sky, and the official is not allowed!" In such a crisis, how can it be destroyed at will? ”
Ma Yukun stood up angrily and shouted: "Since it is determined that the Japanese army is coming from the south road, it should be fortified along the way and fight each other step by step!" In any case, I am going to send troops, if Lord Ye wants to impeach Li Zhongtang, listen to it! ”
He has such a tough attitude, and there is an element of trust in his subordinates. The other has been arguing constantly these days about whether to take the initiative to meet the enemy. Ye Zhichao has always been worried that someone will copy the back road, and he can't make up his mind. It just so happened that he took advantage of the topic to play.
At this time, Zuo Guigui also stood up in support: "The day before yesterday, Fu Diankui, the sentry officer of our department, also met the enemy, and the enemy was in full swing at that time. The outpost was understaffed and retreated. Now, if you are hindered from the outside, as Master Ma said, you must not miss the opportunity. Ben will seconded the proposal to send troops. ”
It's two to one.
Don't look at Ye Zhichao's appointment to arrest the president, it was Li Hongzhang's assignment, but he can't convince the public.
In addition, the general Fengsheng can't take care of anything, and the discipline of the soldiers under his command is bad, and he is a banner man with no ability, and the army is called "duck egg soldiers", which is just bumped into it. Hearing this, he simply waved his hand: "You can do this thing, and I will follow the crowd." ”
Another general, Wei Rugui, hesitated: "In accordance with Li Zhongtang's order, will we defend Pyongyang?" ”
His attitude is also not resolute.
At this point, Ye Zhichao was also a little shaken. Others are cunning and cunning, and their minds are lively, thinking about whether to ...... Get your feet wet?
That night, the soldiers and horses of the five routes were reorganized. Early the next morning, the main force of 7,000 drove out of Pyongyang. Zuo Guigui sent Fu Diankui to a sentry intact. Ma Yukun was very interesting, he was promoted on the spot, added an assistant position to Shi Jianfei, and sent another sentry to hurry up and rush to Huangzhou first.
The way they were in a hurry was to march as fast as they could. The rest of the main force, from leaving the city to neutralizing forty miles away, had to walk for a full day.
On the morning of September 6, Yang Hao and Shi Jianfei received a report from Kuaima and determined to send troops to meet the attack.
Shi Jianfei was overjoyed, thinking that the Qing army was still saved, but Yang Hao poured a basin of cold water on it: "Brother Shi, let me make a bet with you, if the army dares to drive to Huangzhou to meet the Japanese army, I will lose you 100,000 taels of silver!" ”
Looking down on him like this, Shi Jianfei couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, even if he no longer had a sense of belonging, he was now an officer of the Qing army.
After thinking about it, there didn't seem to be anything wrong, and Zhengse said, "Okay, then let's make a bet." Even if you win, I won't ask for it. Everyone looks at each other well, and they are happy, I won, and you invite our whole army to have a good meal. ”
A total of 10,000 people, how much can it cost to eat and drink? A few thousand taels died.
Yang Hao shook his head: "I'm serious. Just now I said, I lose, give money. If I win....... ”
Shi Jianfei glared: "How?" ”
Yang Hao smiled: "You resign, follow me!" (To be continued......)
