Chapter 141: Assassination After Victory!

On October 3, seeing that the Japanese army abandoned the blockade and released the refugees, Yuan Shikai had an extremely bold idea:

Since the Japanese have already released one batch, they will release a second batch. If, at this time, the troops were hidden among the refugees and suddenly attacked, wouldn't the Japanese army be caught off guard? Isn't this exactly a very haode fighter?

The idea came out, and he immediately discussed it with Wu Zhaoyou and others, and everyone had already held back their anger in the battle a few days ago, and they all applauded when they heard it.

Soon, the specific jihua was worked out.

Zhu Xianmin and He Manzhu each led a battalion, mixed in the ranks of refugees, and prepared to attack the trenches on the north and east sides of the east gate respectively. The rifles were hidden in various methods such as bamboo rafts, trolleys, long cloth bags, wooden burdens, etc., and all the soldiers were dressed in the white cloth clothes of the Korean people, and everyone was unkempt with mud and dirt, and walked with their backs on their backs to ensure that they could not be seen in the crowd.

Yuan Shikai even inspected it himself to see if this group of fake refugees looked miserable enough and pitiful enough.

Fu Diankui's battalion in Hancheng was waiting at the east gate, preparing to follow up, while the two battalions on the north bank of the Han River were led by Wu Zhaoyou, ready to abandon their positions and reinforce the place at any time.

Whether the attack on Jihua can succeed depends on two premises, the sneak attack must be successful, and at the same time, Wu Zhaoyou must kill it in time.

In the early morning of October 4th, when the refugees began to leave the city, Yuan Shikai stood on the city tower and kept worrying about his heart.

The Japanese were apparently ready to let go, and watched as the people approached the trenches.

A moment later, gunshots rang out almost simultaneously from both directions, and the Chinese soldiers who were ambushed in the crowd suddenly attacked the Japanese army, and the scene was in an uproar, screams, cries, and stampede screams, and the Japanese army was unprepared, and before they could figure out what was going on, a large number of them had fallen.

Yuan Shikai only relieved himself at this time, what he was most worried about was being seen by the Japanese, which was a catastrophic consequence, and now Jihua's first step was successful. He ordered Fu Diankui's battalion to immediately go out of the city and directly attack Mount Esan.

At this time, the blockade line, the Japanese army was already in chaos, and Ochiai Kanechi Shaozo was the first to be killed in a random shot. Suddenly attacked, the Japanese army was no longer able to organize effective resistance in the melee, and could only rely on individual martial arts to resist desperately.

It was a one-sided battle, and the two Japanese battalions were quickly routed.

At the same time, Takashima Tonosuke was brewing a counterattack, and Akiyama Yoshiko thought that this would be a good opportunity for a decisive battle, as long as he held on to Mount Asa and outflanked him with cavalry, saying that he could not destroy the enemy in one fell swoop, Takashima agreed.

Soon, the guards who routed the enemy army and rushed through the trench gathered in front of Esheng Mountain, and at this time Fu Diankui had already led the army to kill, and the three battalions launched an attack together, and the killing sound shook the heavens and the earth.

Not to be outdone, the Japanese soldiers on the mountain shouted: "Try my Yamato's wrist strength!" Rushing down, the two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire on the hillside, rows of guns rang out, and a large number of people on both sides fell.

He Manzhu shouted: "For the sake of New China, move forward!" Then all the officers and men of the Guards raised their bayonets and rushed forward with enthusiasm, and after a "long live", the entire wing of the Japanese army rushed down fiercely, and the strength of the two sides was equal, and a total of thousands of soldiers launched a fierce melee.

It was a baptism of flesh and blood, blood splashing on everyone's face and body, the sound of metal clashing and screams of pain, and the sound of flesh falling to the ground, forming a symphony of death.

Yuan Shikai stood on the city tower, looking at the smoke and dust of Eshan Mountain with a telescope, knowing that the fierce battle was inseparable. What's worse is that a huge cloud of smoke and dust has also been raised on the north side of Mount E, and the speed of movement is extremely fast, nine times out of ten it is a headache for the Akiyama cavalry, he can't help but worry, Wu Zhaoyou is delayed in the future, is there any accident, if the reinforcements are not available, the mountain siege troops may be surrounded and annihilated, it is really self-defeating.

Yuan Shikai was in a hurry, Zhu Xianmin and others on Mount Eze were also anxious, they had also noticed the enemy's movements, and a large number of Japanese cavalry had been inserted into the middle of the east gate and Mount E, around the rear of the guards, and were rushing here. At this time, there are only a few hundred soldiers in the city, and there is no way to reinforce them, but this side is deadlocked, once the back road is attacked, the army's heart will be in chaos immediately, He Manzhu has already shouted, should I rush back.

A moment later, the Japanese cavalry was only more than 2,000 meters away from the mountain, and even the sound of rumbling horses' hooves could be faintly heard.

There was already a little commotion in the camp of the Guards.

At this moment, only a few loud noises were heard, "boom", "boom", the Japanese horse team that was charging suddenly exploded continuously, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and a cannonball flew from the south with a roar, and accurately landed in the middle of the cavalry team, the Japanese striker turned on his back and fell down, and the momentum of the charge was frustrated, but there was a burst of earth-shattering cheers in the guards: "Long live Bixia!" Long live China! ”

Whether it was Yuan Shikai, Zhu Xianmin and others, they all felt that these cannon sounds were simply the most beautiful music on Shijie at this moment, and Wu Zhaoyou's troops finally arrived.

Major General Wu Zhaoyou's troops, because they were responsible for blocking the Han River, so the heavy weapons of the two regiments were almost all handed over to him, and now they finally came in handy, and the equipment of the two artillery companies, a total of 16 field guns, a fierce salvo, immediately bombarded the formation of the Japanese cavalry brigade.

Under the cover of field artillery, Wu Zhaoyou's two battalions appeared in the south of Eshan Mountain with the red dragon flag held high, and Akiyama Haogu immediately commanded the cavalry to turn and rush to the south, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Wu Zhao gave an order, the military horn sounded, and all the soldiers quickly lined up in battle as they usually trained, and the first line lay on the ground, aiming with their guns; the second line half-squat aiming; The third line stands and aims, forming three lines of fire. The artillery unit also adjusted the direction of the muzzle and the angle of fire according to the flag of the observation post.

With the sound of thundering horses' hooves, a large number of Japanese soldiers shouted "Long live the Emperor!" He quickly pounced on the guards, and soon there was only a distance of more than 1,000 meters, but Wu Zhaoyou ordered all the soldiers not to shoot.

At a distance of 900 meters, 800 meters, 700 meters, and 600 meters, a volley of artillery was fired, thousands of Mauser rifles fired in a volley, and the dense rain of bullets swept down the Japanese cavalry piece by piece, and the commander who rushed in front was also killed on the spot. The swift cavalry finally suffered a heavy blow, and under the combined blow of field artillery and Mauser guns, no matter how brave, fierce, and excellent riding skills the cavalry was, after all, it was flesh and blood, and it was vulnerable in the face of the steel storm.

This is also Ding Yuntong Weishenme is unwilling to use a large number of cavalry, after all, firepower has become the first element of the war, and the larger the scale of the war, the smaller the role of cavalry in the frontal battlefield, in World War I, hundreds of thousands of Russian Cossacks fell under the heavy firepower of Germany, the role of cavalry is in reconnaissance, harassment, sneak attack and destruction, it is no longer the main force of war.

Times have changed.

After suffering heavy losses, the nimble Akiyama Yoshiko immediately realized that such an attack was simply suicidal and had to order a retreat.

By noon, the situation on the battlefield was already clear, Wu Zhaoyou's army rushed to Mount Esheng and joined the attack, while the Japanese army was defeated by the previous sneak attack by two brigades, so that its troops were at a serious disadvantage, and it was difficult to support it under the strong firepower of the Guards.

Akiyama Yoshiko, who was once majestic, is now in an awkward situation, he can no longer attack the main force of the superior Guards, and even wanted to attack Seoul directly, but there is also nothing he can do in front of the tall city walls.

The worst moment came, the Japanese army was running out of ammunition, the Guards had been accumulating in Seoul for a long time, and they had a huge advantage in the ammunition base, especially the field artillery, which always maintained a roar, while the Japanese bronze artillery was completely dumb.

In the afternoon, Takashima Tonosuke finally ordered the troops to retreat, and it no longer made sense to continue to hold on, and the Japanese began to retreat while fighting. However, the Guards, who had experienced the Sino-French War, had long understood a truth: defeating the enemy only represented victory; And chasing the enemy is the only way to get the results.

Seeing the Japanese retreat, the soldiers of the Guards did not leave an inch, shouting behind them to chase and kill. Fu Diankui led a group of people to take the lead, rushed violently, and directly killed into the depths of the Japanese army, outnumbered in the melee, and was shot to death, his eyes opened angrily when he died, shouting "Japanese slaves!" The corpse is standing! The Japanese soldiers were horrified and frightened.

In the end, the retreat turned into an escape, and the escape turned into a rout, but even so, once they were caught up and surrounded by the Guards, the Japanese soldiers would not surrender, but fought to the death, which also slowed down the pursuit.

The pursuit continued until dusk, and the remnants of the Japanese army were driven far away more than ten kilometers from the outskirts of Seoul.

That night, China and North Korea held a celebration party in Gyeongbokgung Palace, and called Beijing overnight to report the victory.

In one day's fighting, the Guards killed 379 people and wounded more than 600 people, including nearly 200 seriously wounded, who will be sent back to the country. After the inventory of the battlefield, more than 800 Japanese soldiers were killed, and except for some comatose and seriously wounded, almost no prisoners were captured.

After receiving the good news, Ding Yuntong was very happy, this battle seemed to be very small, and the casualties were nothing more than thousands, but this was the first battle between the two armies, it was about morale and momentum, after the defeat in the first battle of Jiawu Yashan in the previous life, the Qing army soon deteriorated and collapsed.

He felt that his tense nerves had finally relaxed a little, so he summoned Yuying again, and he could relax tonight.

Yu Ying has become much more docile now, and after the left and right guards retreated, she skillfully took off her clothes, and her long hair was flicked, like a black waterfall hanging on her snow-white body, black and white were distinct, extremely eye-catching.

Then Yu Ying began to dance lightly, spinning and moving in front of Ding Yuntong, graceful figure, long hair up to the waist, hands up, left and right, milk waves and hips with light and agile, like a crystal clear, pink carved bird, sometimes combing its wings, sometimes dancing with the wind, sometimes strolling by the stream, sometimes bowing down to drink, sometimes standing, sometimes whirling, posture, beautiful,

I saw Ding Yuntong as if he was intoxicated.

At the climax of the dance, Yu Ying even sat directly in Ding Yuntong's arms, surrounded by jade arms, and hugged his neck.

The warm fragrant nephrite was full of arms, and the exhalation was like an orchid that made the ears itchy and comfortable, Ding Yuntong could even feel the other party's plump mountains squeezing him, and for a while, he couldn't help but hold his slender waist with one hand, and press the other hand on a creamy peak, what he got was a slight moan, and the smoothness of his hands.

Ding Yuntong was confused, and was about to rub it vigorously, when suddenly, he felt the carcass in his arms tighten all over his body, the hands on his neck were empty, and an instinctive vigilance hit like lightning!

He subconsciously looked up, only to see a jade hand holding a hosta and slamming it into him from the air!

Under the bright light, the hosta's head flashed with blue light, and the resentful light in Yuying's eyes seemed to be brighter than the light!

Seeing the hosta piercing, Ding Yuntong sighed secretly: "My life is over!" "
