Yoshimasa Oshima has nothing to do. For the next half night, he couldn't sleep, and anxiously circled around the brigade headquarters, but he still couldn't think of a good way to break the game.

Chief of Staff Gang Wai Shi Shaozuo Jian yì: "We can ask the Shuoning Detachment of the 10th Mixed Brigade to temporarily change the advance plan and respond from the Sui'an flank to Huangzhou. Such a two-sided attack may be able to break the enemy! ”

The 10th Mixed Brigade led by Major General Arimi Shangwen included the 1st Brigade of the 12th Infantry Wing and the 2nd Brigade of the 21st Infantry Wing, with a total of 2,400 troops. According to the plan, they should have set out from Xinxi by now, crossing Wufeng Mountain and approaching Sui'an.

Huangzhou, where the 9th Brigade was targeted, was stuck at a pass between the mountains, and there was a road leading east to Sui'an. If the 10th Mixed Brigade comes over, it will be able to wrap the front and rear of the Dongxian Ridge position.

It's just that there is a straight-line distance of nearly 50 kilometers between the two -- that's from the map. If you want to inform them, you have to go back in a circle, at least a hundred kilometers. Even the fastest communicator will take a day.

Even if the notice arrived, and Major General Immediately saw that Major General Shangwen agreed, they would need to cross the mountain road, and it would take at least two more days, which would have delayed the overall battle plan.

Not to mention whether such a change will work. Oshima Yoshimasa himself is not qualified to command the other party to change the troop route at will, that is a joke!

And he himself, because of his excessive pride, definitely doesn't want to ask for help from others! For Japanese soldiers, it is an unforgivable shame to ask for help from an officer of the same rank.

Yoshimasa Oshima unceremoniously refused: "The 10th Brigade has their tasks. Don't bother. Don't forget jì. We still have enough troops at our disposal. As long as you can use it. Find a breakthrough and still complete the final travel plan! Now, use your brains and come up with a good enough strategy! ”

It's a bit of a strong man!

A group of people from Okagaku Shi Shaozuo looked at me, and they couldn't help but be full of worry, and they didn't have a place to reason.

The staff officers of the Japanese Army have always been the best personnel in charge. At the same time, they are a group of ambitious people. Arguably. In the more than half a century after the Meiji Restoration, a series of plans for Japan's military expansion were basically the good work of the staff officers.

It's just that the difficulties in front of them are unheard of in their lives, and how to capture a strong fortress is too complicated. Having an obvious lack of understanding of thermal weapons, they simply could not think of how to make a breakthrough.

Dirt work? Someone thought about it. But under the mountain range they faced, the soil layer was not thick enough, but there was sand and gravel. Even if you can dig a few tunnels to get closer to the front, you can't get past the last rock barrier.

Yang Hao sued them with the actual situation. A hundred meters away, there was the rock barrier. Dig up some kinds.

You can't just dig it up. At that time, our army, which was still in the stage of the eighth road of dirt, was approaching to engage in earthwork, and that was because there were grenades available. Without that, even if you touch the front, can you just rely on a bolt-action rifle to charge? It's purely looking for death.

The biggest headache for the Japanese army was that they still did not know what kind of weapons the other side had and how many personnel. So far, not a single captive has been caught. Such a terrible state of affairs has never been seen before, ask the British, and Puley spread his hands - I'm sorry, I'm as strange as you.

In this atmosphere of helplessness and irritability, until dawn, the Japanese army did not make further effective actions.

Yang Hao waited for half the night, and he didn't wait for the second wave of attacks that might be predicted, or the non-stop attacks, which made him feel a little incredible.

"That's not right! Don't they all say that the little devil is strong-willed and extremely tenacious, he can't be defeated, scared, killed, and won't look back, and it's not over until he dies...... What's the matter with me doing all this for nothing? ”

He has listened to the old man talk about how cruel little Japan was since he was a child, and he has a clear impression until he grows up. In later Western movies and television films, the exaggerated tenacity of the Japanese army made him believe what a tragic price his ancestors had paid and how difficult it was to get the peaceful life he has today.

This is also one of the reasons why he has always been extremely disgusted with Japanese dramas. It's okay to make a joke appropriately, such as the Frenchman's "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", which can be stopped in moderation.

It's so much that the Japanese army is portrayed as a bunch of things that are not even as good as pigs, and then a group of bandits can annihilate a squad at every turn. You let the tens of thousands of Red Army troops who have gone through years of bloody battles and panning for gold in the sand, under the leadership of masters such as Deputy Marshal Lin, have fought with the Japanese baggage team with a heavy casualty ratio, how can you be embarrassed!

That is the strength of veterans of a hundred battles after a long march of 25,000 miles! Even if the equipment was inferior to the people, the Japanese army was defenseless, and they still fought so hard. It is conceivable how ferocious the main force of the Japanese army on the front line was.

Excessive disrespect for history is also disrespect for the compatriots who sacrificed and died at the beginning. What is it to describe the Japanese army as a group of stupid pigs, and what kind of people are the people who have been slaughtered by the repeated aggression of stupid pigs?

Scolding the ancestors did not go too far.

The impression that has been planted since childhood is not changed overnight.

Yang Hao and the others arrived at the second plane, and it took less than half a year to complete the battle, and the amount of information they might collect was quite limited. In addition to determining all aspects of the enemy's weapons and equipment and tactics, there is not enough intuitive evidence to judge what the fighting spirit of the Japanese really was.

Another reason that he had to pay attention to was the formulation of the plan for the Japanese army to attack Pyongyang.

Many experts in later generations verified that the Japanese themselves were not sure that the commanders, including Lieutenant General Michikan Nozu of the Fifth Division, claimed that they would die in battle under the city of Pyongyang. Based on this, it was determined that the Japanese army was not sure at all.

But these people ignored one thing, the Japanese army's arrangement, but there was not the slightest sign of lack of confidence. When many of their troops were not yet in place, they actually took a combined attack!

This tactic, which has been criticized many times in Chinese history and has led to many defeats, was used in terrain like Goryeo, which is full of mountains and rivers. It's no different from looking for death. Just a few hundred miles north from Seoul to Pyongyang. Any road. All need to cross at least three or more wide rivers.

The Japanese were not sure whether the Qing army would fortify every key road along the way. Their intelligence officers had withdrawn as early as the end of August, and it was unclear whether the boat could be found on the river. As for temporary bridges? That's a joke.

It was in this situation that they made extremely bold plans.

Oshima Yoshimasa's advance team of more than 3,000 people also had to attack the frontal battlefield in two directions. If Yang Hao hadn't been stuck in Dongxian Ridge in advance, after occupying Huangzhou, he would have to attack separately.

The Shuoning Detachment, composed of the 10th Mixed Brigade, continuously crossed many dangerous obstacles from the middle road. Attack in the southeast of Pyongyang in a detour. In the same way, they have to divide their troops into two ways!

The detachment that landed from Wonsan went straight to the rear of the Qing army to cut off their retreat. It shows that from the beginning, the Japanese army actually thought that they were sure to defeat the powerful Qing army. You know, the total number of detachments in the distant mountains is as high as 4,700 people! Nearly a third of the total strength of the entire offensive plan!

And more than 5,400 people from the headquarters led by Nozu Guandao will follow the 9th Mixed Brigade to Huangzhou, and they will divide their troops!

In this way, they will at least divide into three waves and six formations to encircle Pyongyang.

At the end of the 19th century. Radio has only just been invented and has not yet been applied to warfare. These multiple Japanese forces attacked in a combined manner. Only the battle plan drawn up at the end of August can be used as a reference. The rest can only rely on the troops themselves. For up to half a month, there was no contact between them.

Just imagine, under such terrible conditions, they adopt such bold tactics, this is called uncertainty? Is this called lack of faith?

Based on the analysis of various data, Yang Hao did not dare to be sloppy at all. He spotted the arrogance and inevitable loopholes of the Japanese army, stuck in Dongxian Ridge and Sheren Pass in advance, and used advanced equipment to suddenly attack the enemy. The results of one day and one night can be called brilliant. The casualties of their own side are almost negligible.

Even so, he still did not dare to take it lightly. In line with the principle of anticipating the enemy's leniency, we should make full preparations for battle.

As a result, I didn't expect that Bai waited for a long time!

The time before the wee hours of the morning is the hardest. Even if he and the soldiers of the first company were well rested, at four or five o'clock, they would still be sleepy.

The weather in Goryeo in September has turned cold, and the mountain breeze is blowing and it is wet, which makes people can't help but shiver.

At this time, Yang Hao and the soldiers became more and more nervous. As a result, until dawn, there was no movement at all!

He didn't know that the previous successive triple blows had almost crushed the morale of this Japanese advance team.

The Japanese army really condensed that kind of crazy and lifeless temperament, in fact, it was not until 1904, after Nogi Noshinori killed 50,000 elites at one time, that he was determined to be spiritual and omnipotent, and he could defeat the steel quercha.

The current Japanese army has not yet developed the arrogance and self-confidence cultivated after successive victories over two large countries, and it is remarkable that they have lost nearly half of them in one day.

At least that's how the British observers see it.

Facing the faint fog of the morning, Yang Hao stretched his waist fiercely, walked around the trench from beginning to end, and finally returned to the mountainside headquarters.

Several of the leading officers had already arrived, munching on compressed biscuits in their mouths, drinking hot broth, and discussing the situation in whispers.

Yang Hao raised his nose and smelled it, it was full of the smell of luncheon meat, and his appetite was greatly reduced. In order to show the equality of officers and soldiers, he has eaten too much in the past few months, and as a modern person, he has long been injured.

However, he didn't come out, and said with a smile: "The feelings of the warriors are not bad." However, our ammunition consumption has exceeded half of expectations, and if the Japanese attack so strongly, although they can be eliminated, the future plan will be greatly affected. ”

Their original plan was to wound and hold back the Japanese troops, mainly to accumulate experience in positional defense operations for the troops, rather than to make themselves the main force to fight the Japanese army. With a battalion of soldiers to deal with a division of other people, Yang Hao was not crazy to that extent.

However, other people's ideas were obviously more radical than his, and Ding Weifen couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Or we can go one step further, annihilate the current Japanese army, and completely break their offensive plan!" (To be continued......)
