This was the end of the first attack of the Japanese army on Chenghuanyi, Oshima Yoshimasa lost more than a thousand men on this morning, and the loss of nearly 30 percent almost caused the rout of the Japanese army on all fronts, if it were not for the poor attack power of the Qing army, then this would have happened.

With a group of remnants of the defeated generals, Major General Oshima hastily withdrew from Anjo River, but his opponent Nie Shicheng was not happy, although he was not a general who really knew modern warfare, but he also saw that the victory in this battle was not at all a proper command, and what the soldiers achieved with their lives was purely smashed out of mortar guns and grenades, and this morning twelve mortars fired more than 3,000 PAO shells, and all reserves were almost swept away.

As for the grenades, there are also few left, according to the standard, his subordinates have two each, and the number of Jiang Zikang's department is still small, not for all soldiers, but for a separate group of grenadiers, a total of no more than 6,000 grenades, and now more than 4,000 have been smashed out, if the Japanese army launches another attack of the same scale, he doesn't know if he can hold it, so Nie Shicheng sent people to urge the rear base of Asan to quickly transport ammunition, especially mortars and grenades, While readjusting the deployment based on the problems exposed in the last battle.

And Oshima Yoshimasa also lost the courage to attack, at this time the Japanese army was not the beginning of World War II, at that time was extremely arrogant by half a century of victory, and dared to play pig rush to charge, now it is not good, this war even the Japanese cabinet is worried, let alone ordinary soldiers, plus it has not been many years since reunification, and even the civil war has just ended for more than ten years, at this time the Japanese soldiers' will to fight can not be called tenacious, even in the late period of the First Sino-Japanese War, desertion is not uncommon, Now that the war has suddenly suffered such heavy casualties, morale has been extremely low, and Oshima Yoshimasa does not have the courage to continue attacking his subordinates.

Under these circumstances, he immediately ordered the remaining troops of Seoul to be sent south for reinforcements, so the two sides began to confront each other across the Anseong River, and the war was completely distorted from now on.

The news of Cheng Huan's victory, Tan Qingyuan, the guard general of Asan, sent back to Liugong Island by wireless telegraph, and then reported to Tianjin, Li Hongzhang, who was conducting diplomatic mediation, his confidence immediately skyrocketed, and the news of sinking Qiujin Prefecture had already made the government and the opposition excited, and the Qingliu people declared war, Master Weng even publicly accused Li Hongzhang of fearing the enemy, and now there is the stimulation of the victory in the land battle, Li Ergui also let go of his caution, and then ordered the main force of the Beiyang Naval Division to escort the remaining two battalions of Jiang Zikang's department to reinforce Asan, At the same time, he transported another 10,000 grenades, eight mortars, 5,000 PAO shells, and eight Krupp 75 elements artillery to Nie Shicheng, and made up his mind to fight the Japanese army in Asan.

On the other hand, he proposed to the imperial court to declare war on Japan.

This was naturally in line with Master Weng's wishes, so on August 1, China declared war on Japan.

At this time, Yang Feng's huge fleet also sailed into Singapore, although theoretically as a neutral country, the British should no longer let warships with the Yellow Dragon flag enter the port, but in order not to make Yang Daboss angry, and in addition, in order to be worthy of the check in his pocket, the British Governor of the Straits Settlements insisted on letting the telegraph office withhold all the telegrams from the Sino-Japanese declaration of war, and then watched Yang Feng's fleet complete the supply and go straight to Dagou Harbor.

As soon as this guy left, the Japanese consul in Singapore sent a telegram to the country in a panic, this uninvited guest who suddenly appeared, but made the Japanese cabinet jump, no one thought that this goods would have a good day, but they had to run to join in the fun, an armored cruiser, four destroyers, six large armed merchant ships, such a force is not a fart in Europe, but it is already the fourth strongest in Asia, the British Far East Fleet, the Beiyang Naval Division, the Combined Fleet, and then it will be his turn.

However, the Japanese cabinet has nothing to do, their main enemy now is the Beiyang Naval Division, there is this huge shadow overhead, and they can only watch Yang Feng go north, they not only watched Yang Feng go north, but also had to watch the Beiyang Naval Division reinforce Asan, the Battle of Toshima not only made them lose Akitsu Prefecture, but also sent the number one general Yoshino into the dock, four nitrocellulose charge 152 shells, directly destroyed its front main gun, in addition to causing a lot of damage to the hull, it is estimated that it will take half a month to repair.

Under such circumstances, the Combined Fleet did not have the courage to take the initiative to provoke the Beiyang Naval Division.

Because of the smooth sea route, coupled with the knowledge that the real strength of the Japanese army in Korea at this time was 8,000 people, so Li Erguizi increased the commander of Dengzhou Town, Zhang Gaoyuan, to go north to North Korea with the four battalions of the Songwu Army, which is another elite Huai army, and the equipment level is the same grade as Nie Shicheng's department, at the same time, the thirteenth battalion of the North Road Wei Rugui Division, the four battalions of Ma Yukun's Yi Army, the nine battalions of the Zuo Guigui Division, the six battalions of Fengsheng Abe's Fengzi and Ji Zi training army, and the four-way army, a total of 32 battalions of more than 13,000 people, entered the DPRK and went straight to Pyongyang.

In order to avoid the Beiyang Naval Division, the Japanese army landed in Busan with the commander of the 5th Division, Lieutenant General Nozu Michikan, and the Tachimi Sangwen Brigade to land in Busan and attack Asan from the south, and at the same time, the commander of the 3rd Division, Katsura Taro, led the division headquarters and the Daeko Sangmin Brigade to land from Wonsan to threaten Pyongyang and contain the Northern Fourth Army from the flank and rear, and the 6th Brigade of Oshima Kunao landed from Inchon to supplement the defense of Seoul.

Just when the reinforcements from Seoul arrived, Oshima Yoshimasa cautiously launched a second attack, in view of the fact that night operations are prone to problems, this time he changed it to daytime, the last battle of Jialongli Takeda Hideyama once sent a team around the rear to attack, as a result, most of this squad sank into the swamp, I have to say that Nie Shicheng commanded modern operations may be almost good, but he played the ancient Chinese tactics very well, and casually blocked the river downstream, forming the best barrier for himself.

But this time Oshima Yoshimasa still didn't get any benefits, because when his reinforcements arrived, Nie Shicheng's reinforcements also arrived, it was only a one-day voyage from Weihai to Asan, and it was only a day's journey from Asan to Chenghuan, and the reinforcements from both sides arrived almost at the same time, but Nie Shicheng arrived not only with reinforcements, but also with his cannons, pao shells, and grenades.

The Oshima Brigade, which was still divided into two directions and attacked at the same time at Niucheri and Mt. Gaspong, once again ran into the iron plate.

Nie Shicheng, who has enough ammunition, is still the old way, maximizing his firepower advantage, using overwhelming artillery fire to cover up the lack of combat effectiveness of his soldiers, and mortars have very low requirements for artillery, which is suitable for the level of artillery under his command.

The Japanese soldiers with single-loading rifles knew what despair was this time, the explosion of the PAO bullet tortured their nerves all the time, the corpses of their comrades who were blown to pieces were sometimes smashed on the top of their heads, coupled with the screams of the wounded, the courage of the Japanese soldiers quickly disappeared with time.

The scene in front of him made Nie Shicheng very pleased, watching the enemy being beaten by himself without any power to fight back, but it was a very pleasant thing, although the Japanese army also had artillery, but in terms of quantity and quality, it could not be compared with him, at most it was harassment, and he had to be wary of the artillery fire of retaliation.

But as the two sides entered the range of the rifles, Nie Shicheng's face became gloomy again, and he found that his subordinates' marksmanship was really terrible, holding the best rapid-fire rifle in the world, and he couldn't use firepower to suppress the Japanese soldiers holding single-loading rifles, this kind of unbelievable thing made him speechless.

Fortunately, Nie Shicheng didn't just have a rifle in his hands.

He sighed and waved his hand at the line of soldiers next to him.

Then he heard a sudden sound of shooting, and the Japanese soldiers who were shouting loudly and rushing towards the Qing army fortress fell in pieces like sorghum blown by the typhoon, and there were ten Green guns lined up next to him, or Gatling heavy machine guns, and among these Gatlings, there was also a Makqin, although it was produced by the Jinling factory itself, although it was made by the black Huo, but it was also Makqin.

Yoshimasa Oshima, who was brandishing a saber and personally supervising the battle, was directly stunned by this sudden blow, originally he was most worried about getting closer, and then overwhelmingly smashing down the grenades, but he didn't expect that the grenades had not started yet! He had to face the most terrifying nightmare of the infantry on the battlefield of the future.

He is unwilling, he is really unwilling, he thinks that the general on the opposite side cannot be compared with himself at all in command, and the soldiers on the opposite side are also unable to compare with his own soldiers in Suzhì, and even in his opinion, the soldiers of the Qing army are simply garbage, such a good rifle can't stop the single-loading rifles of his subordinates, but why do he always fail, and always fail miserably?

Why, just because you have money? Major General Oshima roared angrily in his heart.

This time he failed again, the Japanese army, who had already been blown up by the shells and was on the verge of collapse, just because of the little courage gained by firing rifles, was smashed in front of the heavy machine guns again, and they also knew very well that the grenade hell should be next, in this case, it was better to run!

Thousands of Japanese soldiers turned around and fled as fast as they could, ignoring the angry reprimands of the officers, and even Major General Oshima watched several officers being trampled underfoot.

This scene made Nie Shicheng also stunned, he really didn't expect that this kind of weapon, which was regarded as a waste of bullets by Li Zhongtang, actually had such a huge power, he saw it very clearly, in the only few minutes of shooting just now, at least three hundred Japanese soldiers fell under the bullets of the Green Cannon and Makqin, which was even comparable to the casualties caused by the shelling to the Japanese army, as for his thousands of soldiers who fought two battles and fired hundreds of thousands of bullets with rifles, the casualties caused to the Japanese army were not as good as these few minutes.

It is clear that this weapon is not not cost-effective, but too cost-effective.
