Chapter 79: Crazy Little Devil
That night, Ren Chao only squinted in the big tent for a while, and the next morning he took a few personal soldiers out of the big tent to the front line to inspect.
"My lord, please see, this is the Hatch Kaiss fast gun and the Mauser fast gun captured from the Japanese Kou last night, and there are also marks of the Qing army on them, it should be that the little devil captured it from the Qing soldiers." Wang Jing pointed to the pile of rifles in front of him and said.
Ren Chao casually picked up a Mauser rifle and pulled the bolt, "En! Not bad! This gun is good! ”
"According to the information we have received, due to the capture of Seoul, Incheon and other places, the logistics of the Japanese invaders in Pyongyang have almost been cut off. The Japanese army, which was originally difficult to supply, almost fell into the predicament of running out of ammunition and food, but the Japanese army captured Pyongyang and seized a large number of military supplies from the Qing army, including the most scarce weapons and ammunition of the Japanese army, which is estimated to be enough for tens of thousands of Japanese troops to fight a large-scale battle! Wang Jing said indignantly.
"How do you say that, if you are not afraid of enemies like tigers, you are afraid of teammates like pigs." Ren Chao shook his head and said.
"Humph! If Ye Zhichao had been able to hold out in Pyongyang for one more day at that time, the entire First Army of the Japanese Army would have been annihilated by us in one fell swoop! Wang Jing sighed and said.
"That's it! Now there's a for talking about this! Ren Chao waved his hand and said, "Hmph, it seems that the Qing soldiers can't be counted on, and if we want to defeat the little devil, we can only rely on ourselves!" As Ren Chao expected, after receiving Ren Chao's telegram asking for help, Li Hongzhang had no intention of sending troops to attack the Japanese army, and sat back to watch the Tiger Ben Army and the Japanese army fight to lose both sides, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but Ren Chao will never let his conspiracy succeed.
"Chirp~boom!" Suddenly there was a whistling in the air, followed by a violent explosion.
Looking at the gunpowder smoke rising not far ahead, Wang Jing hurriedly said, "My lord, the little devil has launched another artillery bombardment, and it is estimated that a new round of attack will be launched soon, for the sake of safety, you better go back to the big tent first!" ”
"No hurry!" Ren Chao waved his hand slightly, "Order the artillery position, give me a return shot!" Today, let's let these Oriental beasts see the power of our Tiger Army! ”
With Ren Chao's order, the three infantry regiments, the two artillery battalions belonging to the fourth regiment, and dozens of mountain artillery and field artillery, began to exert their power one after another. For a time, 10,000 artillery guns fired in unison, and the entire battlefield was soon shrouded in artillery fire and smoke.
In the Japanese headquarters, an officer hurriedly walked to Katsura Taro's side and reported loudly, "Your Excellency the commander of the report, the Qing army's counterattack artillery fire is very fierce, and the imperial army's artillery is temporarily pinned down by the Qing army, and it is impossible to give effective artillery support to the infantry!" ”
"Baga Ya Road!" Katsura Taro couldn't help but scold, "This group of hateful Qing soldiers, I must break them into pieces and avenge the teacher!" Order the artillery wing, don't spare the shells, give me a hard bombardment, and be sure to completely destroy the artillery positions of the Qing army. ”
"Hay!"
"Inform Major General Tsumi Shangwen that you are ready to attack!" Katsura Taro ordered with a resolute expression.
"Hay!"
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, the Tiger Ben Army is well-equipped, well-trained, and its combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to that of ordinary Qing soldiers. Ogawa saw that Katsura Taro had almost lost his mind again, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"Why should Xiao Chuanjun grow up others to destroy his prestige, I am the first in the world in the Japanese locust army, are you still afraid of his small tiger army? What's more, our locust army is far more powerful than the tiger army, can't we defeat them? Katsura Taro said impatiently.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! The Tiger Ben Army also has tens of thousands of Dongxue troops to help, and the total strength is several times more than that of the Locust Army, and the enemy should not be underestimated! At the beginning, His Excellency the Commander was because he was too light on the enemy, so he led the Seoul fiasco! Ogawa continued to persuade.
"Shut up!" Katsura Taro reprimanded loudly, "That's because the Tiger Army used conspiracy and trickery, and the teacher would fall for the enemy if he didn't check for a while, and now the Tiger Army is not self-sufficient, and it is even openly confronting the Locust Army, just so that they can see the power of our Great Japanese Locust Army!" ”
On the Japanese infantry position, the commander immediately saw that Major General Shangwen commanded the sword forward, and the time had come to make a contribution, pick up your rifles to blow the enemy's head, pick up your bayonet and dig out the heart of the enemy on the opposite side, His Majesty the Emperor will be proud of your bravery, kill and give! ”
"Kill, give!" With the order of Lijian Shangwen, the whole two teams of little devils rushed out of the position with a bright bayonet ghost crying wolf, and rushed towards the opposite position like a pack of mad dogs.
"Brothers, the little devil came up and sent me to death, beat me hard!" In the face of the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the soldiers of our Tiger Ben Army were not afraid and calmly responded to the battle.
"Da Da Da!" The machine gun roared and rained bullets down on the crowd of imps. "Bang bang bang!" The crisp and rhythmic sound of the rifle sent the little devils directly to hell.
"Report! The position on the left flank is critical, ask for reinforcements! ”
"Dong Xuejun, these pieces of waste! I personally led the troops to support! Wang Jing stood up and said.
"Yes! There you go! Ren Chao nodded and said. Raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the left flank position, there were already groups of little devils on the left flank position, although the Dongxue Army on the position resisted desperately, but the equipment was too poor, it was not the opponent of the little devils at all, even if it was a white-knuckle battle, in the face of well-trained little devils, the Dongxue Army, a group of peasants who had just put down their hoes, was far from being an opponent. Although the battle was fierce, due to the existence of the warlords, there were no large-scale routs.
"This little devil is really fucking desperate!" Ren Chao really didn't expect the little devil to come up with a desperate posture, in just two days of fighting, the northern front battlefield has annihilated more than 2,000 little devils, but this did not stop the madness of the Japanese army, the little devil still launched attacks again and again without hesitation, and each time it was more violent, as if he didn't care about casualties.
Before, Ren Chao thought that the little devil was so desperate because of the lack of ammunition, trying to solve it quickly. However, according to the information currently available, the weapons and ammunition of the little devils are not very scarce, although the Incheon occupied by the Tiger Ben Army has cut off most of the supply lines of the Japanese army on the northern route, but the Japanese army can still replenish it from the port of Wonsan in eastern Korea, and there is no need to attack Seoul at such a cost. Is it just to avenge the mountain county Youpeng, maybe there is a reason for this, after all, the mountain county is known as the father of the locust army, and he is also the teacher of Katsura Taro, but Ren Chao does not believe that Katsura Taro, as a senior commander, just to avenge his teacher, so he launched an attack regardless of casualties, so what is the reason why Katsura Taro is so crazy?
