Obokuri and Yoshida Shoin-dogu looked closely and noticed that about a division of Japanese troops appeared behind the Korean Guards Corps.

Which reinforcements arrived, the two looked at each other in unison, trying to find the answer from each other's eyes, but, as both of them shook their heads, their thoughts couldn't help but come to naught, just when the two were confused, a sun flag waved in the wind, appearing in the field of vision of Obokuritsu and Yoshida Shoin, the military flag had a few big characters written on it, the 10th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army.

It turned out that the 10th Division of the Japanese Army had arrived.

Does this mean that the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Hirobumi Ito, also came?

The answer is yes.

It was the Japanese Prime Minister and the Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese invasion of Korea, Hirobumi Ito, who led the army to help.

However, how could Ito Hirobumi and the Japanese 10th Division, which was stationed hundreds of kilometers away from the besieged area of Yoshida Shoga, appear here so quickly? Not only did Obokuritsu and Yoshida Shoin not understand, but the officers and men of the Korean Army and the Eighth Army of the Taiping Army were also surprised.

Of course, to understand the reason, we have to start from the beginning.

On the one hand, he strictly ordered more than 400,000 troops on the western and northern fronts to quickly move closer to Yoshida Shoin, and on the other hand, he personally led the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, which was the general reserve, to move quickly in the direction of Pyongyang and prepare to rescue Yoshida Shoin.

Hirobumi Ito carefully studied the map before setting off, and he found out. The distance between the location of his forward headquarters, that is, the station of the 10th Division, and the place where Yoshida Matsuyin was besieged is quite far, and the total distance should be several hundred kilometers away.

If Yoshida Matsu's pussy is finished like this, then the blow to the Japanese army will be quite large, and this kind of consequence is a burden that Ito Hirobumi cannot bear, and it is also a burden that the Imperial Japanese Army cannot bear, and it is a shame for the Great Japanese Empire.

Therefore, Ito Hirobumi will never allow such a thing to happen, and he must find a way to rescue Yoshida Matsu's pussy.

Fortunately, the days are endless, and the occurrence of an unexpected thing made the Japanese army somewhat impossible, and finally became possible.

In the course of routine patrols, the patrol of the 10th Division inadvertently intercepted a North Korean smuggling syndicate and captured the number two person of the smuggling syndicate.

It would have been just a pointless arrest. The result is nothing more than extorting more money from this smuggling syndicate. In the end, the people were released, but what the Japanese army did not expect was that in order to survive, the arrested No. 2 person took the initiative to confess to the Japanese army some secret passages to and from major cities in Korea, and among these passages, there was really a way to solve the urgent needs of the current Japanese army, which was a shortcut from the station of the 10th Division to Pyongyang, starting from the station of the 10th Division. Take this road to Pyongyang. It may only take a day or so at most.

The Japanese learned of this. If he found the treasure, he immediately reported the matter to Hirobumi Ito.

When Hirobumi Ito heard about this, he was also overjoyed. He once again personally interrogated the number two and after confirming that the information he had provided was correct, he decided to lead his army to take a shortcut and go straight to Pyongyang to save the people.

However, for the sake of insurance, before embarking on that strange road, Ito Hirobumi had to find a guide, so he made a promise to the No. 2 person, so that he could lead the way, of course, the No. 2 person was very unwilling, didn't let him play with his life, he didn't do it, but, this kind of thing could not be objected to by the No. 2 person, under Ito Hirobumi's combination of soft and hard, the No. 2 person could only agree and promised to be a guide for the Japanese army.

As a result, it took Hirobumi Ito and his 10th Division to get out of Pyongyang in less than a day and surprisingly took a ride behind the Korean Guards.

After it was determined that it was the Japanese 10th Division that came to help, the Japanese thieves in the Yoshida Matsuyin Division, who had been besieged for a long time, were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, in addition to fearlessly blocking the attack of the Eighth Army Corps, they also flanked the Korean Army with the 10th Division. Or psychologically, the Korean army completely collapsed and was on the verge of instant collapse .

Seeing this good opportunity, the Japanese army could not let it go, and even more desperately pursued and attacked fiercely, and the Korean army was finally defeated and completely defeated, and the Japanese army also opened a way to escape smoothly.

In the end, among the remnants led by Yoshida Shoin and Obokutoshi, except for the part of the death brigade that volunteered to stay behind to block the 8th Army, the other officers and men took the opportunity to join the brigade of the Japanese 10th Division, and broke out of the encirclement from the opened escape route and retreated south.

After the Eighth Army Corps had killed all the Japanese death squads that had broken off, they saw that the Korean Army had been defeated and the Japanese army had gone far away, so they did not dare to chase after them casually, and then Chen Yucheng hurriedly reported the enemy situation to the coalition headquarters.

Soon after, the order came, and the command ordered that the Seventh Army Corps should assist in collecting the remnants of the Korean Army Corps, withdraw the army to the Pyongyang camp for repair, and the commanders and deputy commanders of each corps returned to the joint headquarters to make a post-battle summary.

Just before returning to the camp, he sent envoys to the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army respectively, carrying his own handwritten letters, to meet with Lu Qingtian and Dongfang Bufu, and shared with them the defeat of the Eighth Army and the Korean Army and the breakthrough of the Shoyin of Hiyoshida, so that they could be careful.

After that, it's all very clear.

In fact, from the point of view of the war itself, if there is really anyone who is responsible for the partial defeat, it should be the Korean Army, and it is precisely because of the defeat and retreat of the Korean Army that the Japanese army can take advantage of the opportunity to escape this annihilation.

Strictly calculated, really from the overall situation of this battle, between the Sino-Korean coalition forces and the Japanese army. On the surface, China and North Korea won a small victory, and Japan lost a small loss, but in fact, in the end, there were no losers and no winners.

Since it is not a matter of winning or losing, then among the Sino-Korean coalition forces, there should not be anyone who needs to bear the main responsibility, if it must be said that there is a mistake, it can only be said that everyone is at fault, because, there are too many unexpected factors in the war, just say this battle, among them, how many accidents have occurred, between the Sino-Korean coalition forces and the Japanese army, you calculate, I calculate you, although the Chinese and North Korean sides have always had a faint upper hand, thinking that the Japanese army was decided, who knows, in the end, it was escaped by Hiyoshida Matsu's yin.

This qiē can only illustrate one problem, that is, this is not a crime of war, and it is beyond the reach of man.

The most important thing for the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces to do is not to hold anyone responsible, but to reflect on and reflect on some of the problems exposed by the coalition forces in this battle, so as to make subsequent improvements and ensure that the next time they fight the Japanese again, they will not make the same mistakes again.

Therefore, Tian Xiaoer had to convene a meeting of the generals for collective reflection. His real purpose in doing this is not to hold anyone accountable, but to make a good summary. In case of recidivism.

All the generals understood the wrong intention, thinking that Tian Xiaoer was going to be held responsible.

"Marshal, the besieged Japanese ran away. Forget it, but why did the command withdraw our Seventh Legion, don't you know, our Seventh Legion has already gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the Japanese army led by Hidasugi Shinsaku. Maybe after a short wait, my Seventh Army Corps will be able to take down the Japanese Takasugi Shinsaku Division, and it's a pity that a great opportunity has been lost like this." Dongfang Bufu was sorry when he mentioned the withdrawal of troops, he always felt that this was a great opportunity to be wasted.

After finally figuring out the mystery of the Japanese army's breakthrough, Dongfang Bufu finally let go of this heart that he had been, but he complained a lot about the command to recall his Seventh Army, because the Seventh Army had the upper hand in the confrontation with the Japanese army, and the situation was very good, but the command asked him to give up the good situation and take the initiative to retreat, which is really a bit unreasonable.

"Dongfang, don't be impatient, since you have so much confidence in the Seventh Legion, then let me ask you, where is this so-called possession? Do you mean that individual heroism prevails, or does it mean that the Seventh Army has killed and wounded a large number of Japanese troops, so that the Seventh Army has the upper hand in comparison with the total number of Japanese troops, you are saying that you have the upper hand is very general." Tian Xiaoer was not in a hurry, and said unhurriedly.

Of course, Tian Xiaoer knows what makes his brother special. If you go it alone. It was a rare opponent, but Tian Xiaoer also knew the comparison of strength between China and Japan.

"This, this ......" Tian Xiaoer's words hit the key point of Dongfang Bufu, making Dongfang Bufu speechless for a moment.

Dongfang is not confused, think carefully. Only then did I wake up to the key point in this, yes, the upper hand in my mouth was just the upper hand I had in the competition with Togi Takayo, not that the strength of the Seventh Army really had the upper hand compared with the Japanese army, on the contrary, the overall strength of the Seventh Army was still faintly inferior compared with the Japanese army.

In terms of total numbers, the Seventh Army Corps had only 200,000 men, while the three divisions of the Japanese army led by Takasugi Shinsaku combined had 240,000 men, which was more than 40,000 more than the Seventh Army Corps.

Compared to personnel, the Japanese army won.

Therefore, the superiority of the East is only added to his personal heroism.

"What, Dongfang, figured it out?" Tian Xiaoer said with a smile.

"Yes, it's not so confusing, but we don't necessarily have to lose." Although Dongfang Bufu has accepted the fact of withdrawing the army, he is still not so convinced.

Tian Xiaoer first shook his head with a smile, and then said sternly: "Every decision made by the command is for the sake of the overall situation, in fact, from the moment Yoshida Matsu's yin broke through, this battle has already ended."

"But..."Dongfang is not confused and wants to say more.

"Okay, Dongfang, this matter is over, no more talks, if you have that heart, you can tell me how the next battle should be fought." Tian Xiaoer interrupted Dongfang Bufu's words and said.

"I don't know." The East is not confused and is more direct.

This is the truth, at this time, the East is not confused what good ideas can be.

Seeing that Dongfang was not confused and serious, Tian Xiaoer shook his head helplessly, no longer paid attention to Dongfang Bufu, turned his head and said to the generals: "Everyone, the purpose of inviting everyone to come here today, I think everyone is very clear, so, please think about it after you go back, what should you do in the future, as the saying goes, eat a trench, grow a wisdom, we can't pay this tuition in vain."

"Yes, as the marshal commands." Everyone agreed in unison.

"Alright, that's it, if you don't have anything else to do, then disperse." Tian Xiaoer saw that everything that should have been said was almost done, so he was ready to end this summary meeting.

"Nope." And they said.

"Let's disperse." Tian Xiaoer waved his hand and said.

Then the multitude will be dispersed. (To be continued......)
