Yang Hao didn't rush to comment, and turned his head to ask other people's opinions.

Li Yingjiu grabbed his scalp and sighed: "I still don't understand the war, but our current strength is afraid that it can't withstand the slaughter of the imperial army." It's not that the British are not happy to see the collapse of the Qing Dynasty! ”

As soon as these words came out, Ding Weifen and the others' somewhat hot minds seemed to pour cold water on them, and they immediately calmed down a lot.

I did get a little carried away just now. Yes, even if they can kill the remnants of the Japanese army in front of them in one fell swoop, what can they do? At best, it reduced the Japanese forces besieging Pyongyang by the thousands, but it was unlikely to affect its overall battle plan.

The Japanese army prepared nearly 20,000 men for this war. Nozu Kando, who was behind, took more than 5,000 people with him, and it was enough to attack Pyongyang all the way.

Unable to achieve the goal of truly controlling the war, killing more Japanese troops and killing fewer Japanese troops had little impact on the enemy, but when they ran out of ammunition, they could only withdraw in advance, which made it difficult for them to achieve their strategic goals.

In addition, they went too far and let the Qing court know that the only fate after that was that the Manchus would rather make peace with Japan than destroy them first!

Defending against internal enemies is more important than external enemies, which has been an established national policy since the Qing court moved in. In order to continue to dominate China, they dared to sell any interests to the foreign powers. This kind of virtue is vividly expressed in the remarks of "I would rather give friends to domestic slaves".

Yang Hao's current strength may be stronger than the original Tianping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Army. Not only will the Qing army be desperate to crush it in advance, but the great powers will also fan the flames while watching the excitement.

Britain, which vainly wants to dominate the interests of the Far East, will certainly help the Qing court to contribute money and efforts to the blockade and attack. Then. A great undertaking that has just begun. It is very likely that the middle way will collapse.

Which head is heavier. Which end is lighter, it is self-explanatory.

Ding Weifen is a bright and upright character, and immediately said apologetically: "It's me who has the idea of being greedy for merit." So what do we do next? ”

Yang Hao saw that their thoughts turned around, and said with a smile: "It's impossible to not move at all." Now it is certain that the Japanese are not capable of breaking through the defenses in person, and we can intercept them until more troops arrive. However, I expect that another line of Japanese troops coming north from the right flank should also be in place. Three-way enemy. It could be just these two days. ”

He was talking about the Third Company, which had set up a position in Chuanpoli, more than 10 kilometers away, ahead of schedule. It was not only responsible for blocking the enemy who might attack Huangzhou from the mountains in a roundabout way, but also cooperating with the scouts to guard the east, discovering the traces of the Japanese army at any time, and then attacking and harassing the delay.

All in all, along the way, the Japanese army must not be allowed to progress too smoothly. Want a Lily Soso past? There are no doors.

However, because Yang Hao intervened in another change in directing zhì, it came soon. At ten o'clock in the morning, Shi Jianfei led his horse team to Huangzhou.

Under the guidance of those left behind. Arrive at the mountain behind Dongxian Ridge. He climbed up with a few of his men and saw the bloody battlefield full of corpses under the mountain. Dengshi was stunned!

"These ...... You killed them all?! ”

Shi Jianfei's eyes widened, trying to distinguish the dead bodies scattered on the three-kilometer-wide position under the mountain, and repeatedly confirmed that they were all Japanese soldiers, and after a rough calculation, there were actually five or six hundred or even more corpses on the surface!

What kind of combat power is this! The Japanese army, that is a strictly trained army soldier, is not a miscellaneous commodity like the Qing court. Isn't there several thousand offensive forces at five times the strength of the force?

He looked around again, and in the trenches he could see, there were only two or three hundred troops guarding the front line. Although he couldn't understand the weapons in the hands of some people, he could fight so many enemies with such a small number of people, and kill so many .......

Shi Jianfei was stunned that he didn't find the wounded camp. Looking at the spirit of the mortal soldiers, he calmly and calmly made him afraid!

Yang Hao was both surprised and delighted by his arrival. In these years, I can see a high-achieving student from a regular military academy, which is rarer than a giant panda, and it is also worth his friendship.

greeted him warmly with a smile on his face, and said lightly: "The Japanese army is arrogant and excessive, and it is not surprising that they blindly attacked our defense line and suffered some losses." ”

That's weird!

Shi Jianfei muttered in his heart, feeling more and more that this world-famous big boss was unfathomable. Even if you see the escort team with your own eyes, but the caravan bodyguards and the battlefield elite soldiers, this is too far away!

Where the duty lies, he must ask about the situation. took a deep breath and arched his hand at Yang Hao: "Boss Yang has really done amazing things repeatedly. As far as the contemptible can see, it will take ten days or more to construct so many trench barriers. Your hands and feet are prepared, but it is too much! ”

A merchant with such a powerful army is enough to lead ten times more forces to cause an uprising.

Yang Hao also deliberately exposed a little strength because it was him. If you are someone else, you will not serve.

He still didn't miss anything out of words: "When you're away from home, it's always good to be more guarded." Not to mention such a dangerous place for soldiers. Yes, I did lay some hands here earlier, but I didn't expect to encounter a very unreasonable Japanese army. They will fight when they come up, and we won't be able to fight back if we don't fight back! ”

Say it like a victim.

Since Shi Jianfei is from the Staff Section, and he has been a talent in the show, how can he fool him? muttered in his heart: "Since I know that the soldiers are in danger, I still dare to run around, and the profits of the goods sold are not as high as I imagined...... You're here for this war at all! ”

In normal times, he also pays attention to collecting intelligence, and naturally connects Yang Hao with the mysterious unit that caused the Japanese army to suffer a big loss two months ago.

Well, what the soldier is holding in his hand seems to be the Russian standard rifle Mosina, which is too coincidental!

But everyone is a smart person, and some things are better not to be broken, otherwise you will have to tear your face. Looking at the people around him, Shi Jianfei was sure that he couldn't run out at all.

He would not be like an ordinary Qing official, who really thought that wearing a tiger skin, he could show off his might to the common people. That's if you don't run into hard stubble, if you don't do it well, you can lead to death!

Yang Hao was very interested in his arrival. asked, "Brother Shi is here." It was sent by Ma Junmen. Can't lead an army to help us? ”

Shi Jianfei shook his head with shame: "Ma Junmen can't spare too many people, so he sent me to reconnoitre." At the moment, it seems that it can't help Mr. Yang much. ”

Yang Hao shook his head: "No." The so-called improper name is not good. If it was only our side that was fighting against the Japanese army, it would only make people suspicious when they said it. However, if the Shi brothers lead the crowd to attack, and there is a military order from Ma Junmen, then this feat can be made public in a generous manner. ”

Shi Jianfei's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Mr. Yang wants to make such a great contribution." Send it to Ma Junmen? ”

This is no joke! Killing hundreds or thousands of enemies is a great feat at any time, and no one can erase it. In other words, if he is an ordinary officer, he can be promoted several levels in a row, including himself, as long as he hangs his name, it is easy to be promoted to a battalion officer. If you don't make trouble, you can also get an official position such as guerrilla and capital division.

This favor is too big. Yang Hao sent it out so lightly?

Yang Hao looked at Shi Jianfei meaningfully: "I'm a businessman, what's the use of military merit?" At best, it was in the document of the victory to the imperial court. The reputation of hanging a thumbs-up is satisfied. Of course, this also has to be sent out by Ma Junmen. More than that. It takes a few hundred people to get it, right? ”

The rest of the words need not be said explicitly.

The main Ma Yukun sent some men and horses to Dongxian Ridge to hang around, and if they held it for a day or two, they could claim that the battle exploits were theirs when they turned around. If Yang Hao doesn't say it, no one can find fault with him.

Shi Jianfei knew that he must not hesitate in this matter, if someone sends military merits in vain, he will not report it, it will be impossible to keep up with the future of the official, and the feud is like killing his parents.

He just couldn't figure it out, what was the benefit of doing this to Yang Hao himself?

Yang Hao didn't say it, and he couldn't ask too much. After hurriedly looking at the position, he wrote an urgent report on the spot, and asked his most trusted siblings to send it to Pyongyang as soon as possible.

Forty kilometers in a straight line, the march is slow, but the delivery of the letter is absolutely fast. In the case of horsepower, it will not take a morning to arrive, and the decision will be made that night, and the people will arrive tomorrow.

After finishing his work, Shi Jianfei decided to take a closer look at this strange weapon. Yang Hao has the intention to win him over, and he also wants to take the opportunity to observe how he behaves. Although a few days ago, I have made many inquiries and determined that this person's temperament and character are the best choice, and he can fully serve as his staff team.

Before you know it, noon arrives, and a wind blows from behind. Yang Hao asked the cooking squad to bring the cauldron with the broth to the front of the battle, and let the wind blow fragrant and the smell until the Japanese army.

Seeing that Shi Jianfei had doubts, he explained: "We searched the corpses of the Japanese soldiers below and found that they almost didn't bring anything to eat. Continuous observation has also determined that there is very little smoke from the enemy's cooking, and there are few signs of hot meals being delivered. It can be judged that the rations of this Japanese army are strictly insufficient. ”

This is another very important piece of information, at least let the defenders behind know it, and it can increase the confidence of holding it.

Thinking about Ye Zhichao's gang of senior generals who were bent on escaping, Shi Jianfei's heart became more and more uncomfortable. People who are fifty or sixty years old and have fought all their lives are not as clear as a businessman.

At the same time, he also understood the viciousness of Yang Hao's hand. Hunger, that is a very difficult torture to endure. The Japanese soldiers on an empty stomach smelled the smell here, and I don't know if they will go crazy!

At this time, the Japanese army, although not crazy, was almost the same.

Including Major General Yoshimasa Oshima, from yesterday to now, they have been willing to add a little salty salt to rice balls. Don't even think about meat or vegetables, a salted dried fish can become a delicacy.

After yesterday's fierce battle, the morale of the army was extremely low. I basically didn't eat much in the morning, and I couldn't even satisfy the rice balls at noon. Originally, they were supposed to arrive in Huangzhou today and scavenge for food supplements.

The smell of broth blowing in the wind was like an iron hook, piercing their stomachs fiercely, causing many people to flow for a long time. Look at the coarse porcelain bowl that even the bottom is licked clean, and the Japanese soldiers look at the top of the mountain, like hungry wolves!

Takeda Xiuyama finally couldn't hold it back, smashed the bowl into pieces, and shouted through gritted teeth: "Damn guy! Absolutely unforgivable! I'm going to keep attacking! (To be continued......)
