Chapter 324: A diagonal hook

"It's so easy!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Xian's mouth. The 3,000 men broke more than twice as many enemy troops, and in half an hour they routed the enemy, with very few casualties themselves. And looking at the slow speed of the turtle when the Japanese army was defeated and fled, it is estimated that the battle can be over in two hours!

Liu Xian, who was still at the headquarters of the Qin army in Shinagawa, was well aware of the Qiujin ambush dozens of miles away. This is really a kind of unsolvable bug in war. In the command of the battle formation, it is necessary to completely analyze the enemy's troops. Although in heavy rainy weather, the energy consumption of opening a virtual map is larger, and its own energy absorption power is much smaller than that on a sunny day. But compared with the war that maintains the fortunes of the country, the disparity between gains and losses is comparable to that of mud.

……

Sengakuji Temple, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

"Your Excellency, the Qing army has canceled its preparations for attack, and the brigade is retreating from its position." A lieutenant, a Japanese officer, reported to Arisugawa Miyashihito with surprise. What a surprise! The Qing army actually retreated!

"Nani?" Arisugawa Palace, who was wiping his saber with white silk, trembled his hand and directly cut a cut in his finger. Youqi Chuan Gong Chiren was stunned for a moment, didn't care about bandaging, and strode to the front line of the position again, and he could still hear the sound of a large number of troops moving in the position of the Qin army opposite.

A large number of troops were moving, but the Japanese soldiers and the volunteer sword drawing team lurking in the rain did not give a warning, which showed that the enemy was indeed retreating, not attacking! "Why is that?" Did the enemy stop attacking because of the heavy rain? But the rain became heavier and didn't just start today, and Liu Xian's deployment in front of him was not to deceive himself?

Arisugawa Gong Chiren was full of puzzlement. But the crisis on the front line of Sengakuji Temple has indeed eased. It would be good if he could hold up here for one more day, reinforcements from the southwest would soon arrive. If he can top the Sengakuji line for three days, Tokyo will have three wings of reinforcements in hand, and even if the Sengakuji is lost, the Chinese can bombard Tokyo and enter Tokyo, but they will never have a chance to take Tokyo again.

"Pay close attention to the enemy's every move, and don't be negligent!"

Arisugawa Gong Chiren's heart was beating faintly, but he couldn't see anything wrong. Moreover, the offensive of the Qin army was suspended, and this huge good news also filled his heart with surprise, dispelling some of that worry. Arisugawa Miyashihito had no choice but to order the Japanese officers and soldiers on the front line to continue to be vigilant.

"Hey!" A young captain responded solemnly.

Arisugawa Gong Chiren would never have imagined that Liu Xian pressed the attack on the front line of Quanyue Temple at this time, not because he did not intend to attack, but because he had to wait for Chen Bo, Li Shien, and Xie Jigui to clean up the Qiujin battlefield, and along the line of Kume, Rinma, and Fengma, after inserting it into Tokyo from the northwest, he would take advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack at that time!

Little Japan, a country, if you give him a stick, you can't change him. The wildness and bestiality of the Japanese in their bones will only make them hate you even more. But if you can beat them to the point that they are half dead and dying, then the little devil will know what to be afraid of!

Because of the current general environment, it is really difficult for Liu Xian to beat Japan to that point. And there are also Western powers, especially Britain, which is a very bad-stirring stick, after China's development momentum, he will definitely support Japan to contain and balance China.

The battle of Liu Xian was to add trouble to Japan's future development. It would be great if it could cause a large number of reform bigwigs to withdraw from politics and cause Emperor Meiji to abdicate.

When reinforcements from the southwest turn into a deadly enemy army, Tokyo will become chaotic, right? In this case, do the Japanese soldiers at Sengakuji still have the heart to fight to the death with themselves? Their nest is gone! At that time, it was the best time to break through the front line of Sengakuji Temple. Then flank from both sides and take Japan in one fell swoop! Liu Xian is full of confidence in this plan!

The tide of battle changed just as he expected. On the afternoon of the next day, when two thousand Xu Qin troops appeared in Fengma City in the guise of four or five thousand people, the whole of Tokyo exploded.

"Mr. Smith, Mr. Lauren, Mr. Heath......" An interpreter from Qin Jun appeared in a depot at a military station in Daejeon, and said to the more than a dozen military attachés of the British, French, American, and other countries in front of him: "Gentlemen, from now on, you can move freely. ”

"I hope you can understand what happened unpleasantly."

Without a word of apology, the translator finished speaking and left the warehouse. He turned a deaf ear to the group behind him clamoring for 'protest' and 'an apology from the Qing government'.

Liu Xian sent troops to infiltrate the area around Lake Tama, and it was crazy that the group of observer personnel would continue to move freely. All the forced confines were locked up in this storeroom, and now that everything has been implemented perfectly, the people will be released again.

"Gentlemen. I think the first thing we need to do now is not to quarrel here, nor to threaten the Qing army and intimidate them into making an apology from the Qing government, but to find out what kind of changes have taken place in the war.

Marquis Liu must have carried out a secret military operation to ensure the confidentiality of information. I think that on the battlefield now, the Japanese will suffer a big loss. ”

Smith was right. Let's put our frustrations to vent later, and now it's important to figure out where the battle has progressed. "After all, they are all members of the Mission, not face-saving diplomats.

……

Fengma is just a small town. If it weren't for the Qin army's sudden stroke, the eyes of the Japanese command would not have cast more glances on it.

Now, it's the focus of the battle that holds it together.

Yama County Youpeng personally led a thousand Japanese troops to arrive here. The war has been fought like this, but it is no longer just the subject of the navy, and the fate of his army Qingshan County Youpeng will be even more dishonorable than Shenghaizhou.

led the troops to die on the battlefield, or negotiated peace after losing Tokyo, and then committed suicide by caesarean section. Of the two options, Youpeng chose the former. So he personally led the army to guard Fengma.

Reinforcements from the southwest were routed. At the same time that the news of the approach of the Qin army reached Tokyo, hundreds of Qin troops escorted a large number of Japanese prisoners of war, and the news that the cities of Kodaira and Musashino were moving towards Daejeon also reached Tokyo. Now the truth is revealed!

The Japanese army, who had worked hard to come for reinforcements, was ambushed by the Qin army. After several days of rapid marching, the Japanese soldiers who braved the rain and ran out of body were defeated and lost. The Qin army divided small units to escort the prisoners of war, and the other large troops went straight to Tokyo from the northwest. Of course, the news is also mixed with the name of a village that has been wiped out......

Twenty-four mortar cannons shook at the same time, and the firelight first spewed out, followed by the thunderous cannons, and the smoke was filled, and in the blink of an eye, pillars of smoke and earth rose all over the Japanese Fengma position!

When the cannon rang out, Li Shien jumped out of the trench, "Brothers, the time has come to serve. Kill me with me—" The artillery shells in the team are very limited, and it is impossible to fight without stopping like a frontal battlefield. As far as Li Shien knew, each of the 24 mortars had less than 20 shells.

However, the defense of Fengma small city seemed to be weaker, but the explosion of five-pound mortar shells caused a large column of smoke inside and outside the city, and the fragments of the shells swept the entire Japanese position like a storm. The debris of the barricades flew in all directions, the muddy water in the trenches splashed more than ten meters high, and the masonry at the head of the city fell straight down. The smoke soon enveloped the entire front, and at first you could see people running around on the Japanese positions to avoid artillery, and then gradually blurred.

The heavy machine behind him roared, the bullet belt shook wildly, and a string of powerful heavy bombs poured out, and the bullets rained down on the Japanese position.

The Qin army came too suddenly, and Youpeng led the troops to Fengma in Shanxian County, and the battle line was too late to be arranged, and the vanguard of the Qin army could already be seen on the city. Therefore, Shan County arranged all the main forces in his hands in the city, and only one squadron of troops was deployed outside the city. And the Japanese troops of this squadron rushed to build a position, and the trench was not even a meter deep, and it was full of muddy water. The flowering shells of the mortar shells bombarded the entire position outside the city. Even the old city wall of Fengma City showed a few grinning teeth, and the city wall, which was only two meters high in total, collapsed everywhere, and the rammed earth layer under the city bricks was also exposed.

Li Shien's troops were the first wave of attack. The soldiers carried the bamboo ladder and shouted loudly forward. The starting position was less than a mile away from Fengma City, which was purely a bully of the Japanese army's shortage of artillery fire, and the three leaders were confident that they had come suddenly, and even if the Japanese army could rush to the defense, it would definitely not be too late to bring the artillery up. Therefore, the attack position was directly arranged less than a mile away from the enemy.

The first wave of impact team did not stay behind, and it was an all-out impact at the beginning. Heavy machine gun chains passed past them, covering them, so that the remaining Japanese soldiers in the trenches opposite could not raise their heads. All I could hear was the sound of bullets chirping into the muddy water.

The soldiers in the Japanese trenches began to fight back, but the rifles were not accurate. And under the suppression of heavy machine gun ground fire, it does not seem to be very dense. The attacking troops rushed to a distance of less than 100 meters from the Japanese positions in one go, and only then did the speed begin to slow down and casualties began to appear. The soldiers carrying these door ladders kept falling, and soon someone took their place.

The Japanese soldiers of the squadron outside the city didn't even roll up a few waves, and disappeared into the flow of Qin troops.

Ladders were put up on the trenches, and door panels were laid up again. The attacking troops continued to rush towards the city without hesitation...... R1152
