Chapter 103: Defeat has been achieved
Oyama Yan's face was getting redder and redder, and he could barely stop from the occasional cough at the beginning. He had even coughed up blood the previous night, and the Japanese military doctor had advised the commander-in-chief that he must immediately return to the rear to recuperate, but Oyama Iwa ignored it. He came to China to exterminate Yang Xiaolin, chasing him from Liaoxi to North Korea, and then from North Korea to back, after more than a month of hard work, it seems that there will be a result, how can he be willing to return to the rear at this time?
Now that victory seems to be really in front of Dashanyan, Yang's purpose is very clear, that is, he wants to cross the Yalu River again. After receiving instructions from Dashanyan, the troops in western Liaoning were ready to take a stand on the other side of the Yalu River. And in the past few days, I have been chasing behind the volunteers, and I can see the corpses of the volunteers who fell to the ground from time to time on the road.
Those people were basically exhausted or starved to death, and it can be judged from their bodies that although Yang Dagui robbed the entire Daixing, he did not obtain enough food for his march. Almost every soldier's gun chamber was empty, which meant that Yang had lost his ability to fight.
He was still a little worried if Yang Dagui continued to walk towards the Tumen River, where the troops were put together temporarily. But to the Yalu River? Dashanyan fully believed that when the Japanese army in western Liaoning would be able to hold off the exhausted volunteers, and when he caught up with Yang Xiaolin from behind, all the Japanese had to do was to easily kill those guys who had no food, no ammunition, and no physical strength.
It would be an easy battle.
After a violent cough, Oyama Iwa beckoned Nogi Noshinori to come over: "Nogi-kun, where are those guys running now?" ”
Nogi Noshinori hurriedly said: "Report to the commander-in-chief, an hour ago I sent a telegram from Songyuan that Yang Dagui is still one hundred and thirty kilometers away from the Yalu River, and looking at the direction of his march, it should be Anping Port." ”
Nogi Noshinori didn't wait for Oyama Iwa to ask again, and then said in more detail: "Commander-in-chief, don't worry. The 7th Division stationed in Dandong has sent troops to Anping to assist the defenders there in their defense, and we are building fortifications. The 10th Division, which went straight up to Songyuan, also quickened its pace, and the shortest distance between them and the Volunteer Army was less than twenty kilometers, and we would not give Yang the time and opportunity to cross the river. ”
Dashan Yan nodded, and his voice was a little weak: "Order straight up to Matsubara and go faster!" Also, the defenders in the Dandong direction must be on better alert. ”
"Hello."
Seeing that it was already dark, Dashanyan raised his wrist and looked at his watch, April 11, 6:30.
"Admiral Nogi. Tell the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire that victory is already in sight, and that the capture of that guy is not only for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor and the future of the Great Japanese Empire, but also to wash away the shame of our Japanese soldiers! Let the soldiers try harder and don't rest tonight! ”
"Hello!"
Dashanyan's decision really forced Yang Xiaolin to complain! Although Daixing is a county seat, it has a population of more than 10,000, and the little food it grabbed is not enough to ensure the marching needs of its 60,000 or 70,000 volunteers.
Troops lacking military rations have no way to shake off the pursuers behind them. Now don't say that the brothers can't lift their hungry feet, even Commander Yang's own legs are like being filled with lead, and it is extremely difficult to go up the mountain.
At this time, the Japanese army suddenly did not rest at night. Yang Xiaolin had to continue running, and the little physical strength that was already left was even more seriously consumed! Although he was only a little more than a hundred kilometers away from his target Anping Port, Commander Yang had finally doubts about whether he could get there, and he doubted that he would be able to complete this last short journey.
Cai Ye also felt that it seemed that the troops would really not be able to go on like this. At that moment, he ran a few steps to Yang Xiaolin: "Commander, I want to lead a team to stay and fight the Japanese to block it, and you take the large army to withdraw first." ”
After Cai Ye finished speaking, he began to breathe, and Yang Xiaolin naturally knew what the meaning of the so-called blocking at this time was. The best thing to say is to block. To put it mildly, it is to leave some of the brothers behind and use their lives to make the footsteps of the Japanese army pause a little.
"Songpa, it's not that time. Now we still have some hope, if my guess is correct, Zhang Lao Wu will make a move in Fengcheng tonight, and tomorrow he will attack the port of Anping, and by the time we run to the river tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow, we should be able to cross the river. ”
Cai Ye still hasn't given up: "Commander, the chasing soldiers are only a dozen kilometers away from us at most, I'll take some people to stay, you can be safer." ”
Feng Delin happened to run over at this time, and immediately said after hearing Cai Yi's words: "You two go, I'll stay." Let the sixth brother lead the troops to follow me, Xiaolin, don't worry, as long as my brother is there, he won't let him go straight to Matsubara. ”
At this time, the two of them said such words, which really moved Yang Xiaolin a little, this is the righteousness of the Northeast Locks!
The corners of Yang Xiaolin's mouth raised: "Big brother, Songpo, don't talk about it, I know you are good, but you really don't need it now." ”
Turning his head, he shouted to Sui Bing, who was following him: "Sui Bing, from now on, your troops will be behind!" If the Japanese are within five kilometers of you, turn back and block them immediately. ”
Sui Bing looked at Yang Xiaolin, and his Adam's apple swelled: "Yes!" Take care of yourself! ”
Sui Bing didn't seem to have called Commander Yang for a long time, because Cai Yi didn't allow it. Just these two words made Yang Xiaolin's eyes swell a little, watching this old brother who had followed Yang for more than ten years turn around and leave here, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.
"Order the brothers to throw away all heavy machine guns, light machine guns, packages and uniforms! Throw away everything you don't think you can carry! Burn the wind! ”
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! In the front, our army found a large number of weapons and equipment discarded by the Chinese army, including 2,400 heavy machine guns, more than 3,000 light machine guns, wraps, quilts, and even a large number of military uniforms thrown on the ground. ”
That is, an hour later, Dashan Rock was rewarded by the front. This news made Da Shanyan, who was already weak, excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood: "Oh? Have those machine guns been destroyed? ”
The Japanese staff officer said: "Only a small part was destroyed by them, but most of them are still usable, just without bullets." ”
Da Shanyan's eyes rolled a few times, and then he laughed: "Gentlemen, Yang Dagui abandoned his weapons at this time, and he didn't even want to damage these weapons, which means that they really can't run!" We'll get him right away! These machine guns were enough for us to arm four divisions. Yang Beat Ghost gave us the first loot! I hope you will come on, and I am sure that he will soon send us an even bigger trophy. ”
Of course, a group of Japanese generals also understood what it meant for Yang Xiaolin to abandon these weapons, if there was still a little hope, how could Commander Yang throw away the weapons? On the edge of Seoul, he ran out of bullets, but he didn't throw them until now, it's not that they really can't carry it, Yang Dagui will definitely not do such a thing!
At the same time, they also know what the greater loot of the Great Mountain Rock is! At this time, they were really happy, and they couldn't wait to fly to the forefront immediately. Yang's head is really very attractive to all Japanese generals.
Dashan Iwa looked at the Japanese generals who were gearing up, and the smile on his face was very bright: "General Matsumura Wumoto." ”
"Hello."
"I know you must be desperate for a chance to kill that guy and wash away the Second Army's shame, right?"
Of course Matsumura thinks so! This time, his second army was killed by Yang Xiaolin as soon as he fought with the volunteers when the war began. He knew he would go back like this. Although he will not suffer any punishment because he is usually popular, it may be unlikely that he will have any promotion opportunities in the future.
Oyama Iwa could think of himself and really moved Matsumura: "Please Commander-in-Chief give our Second Army a chance!" ”
Oyama also felt that giving this opportunity to the Second Army was very suitable for the Japanese Army. Just as he was about to say that the Second Army would be the first to attack Yang Dagui, a Japanese staff officer hurriedly ran over: "Report to the commander-in-chief!" We have just received news that the army of Liaodong has launched an attack on Fengcheng at 8:40 p.m. today! ”
At this time, Dashanyan didn't have many surprises, because it was reasonable for him to think that the volunteers would attack Fengcheng, and he had already arranged it, as if they couldn't turn over.
Seeing that it was only nine o'clock, he said very easily: "Order the defenders to defend Fengcheng and not fight." When we kill Yang and fight the ghosts, we'll clean them up. ”
The staff officer's face was very ugly: "Commander-in-chief, when the Third Mixed Brigade stationed in Fengcheng called, the Chinese army had already broken through Fengcheng, and they were currently engaged in street fighting, and they were also attacked all around. The brigade commander asked us to hurry up and give tactical guidance. ”
Dashan Yan's face changed suddenly: "What?!" ”
It was only at 8:40 that the Volunteers began to attack, and now it was 9 o'clock, and Da Shanyan couldn't believe that it only took 20 minutes for the Volunteers to break through his impregnable Fengcheng!
The staff officer handed over the telegram: "There is a very hidden tunnel in Fengcheng City, and we have not noticed it before. It was through that tunnel that the Chinese troops rushed in. And their firepower is very strong, and many of the soldiers use a state-of-the-art weapon that can fire quickly. ”
Oyama listened to him as he looked at the telegram in his hand. The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, who had always been calm, actually trembled violently at this time! He finally understood why Yang Xiaolin chose to pounce on the Yalu River, it turned out that the defense he had always thought was impregnable, but in the eyes of others, it was simply an earthen wall that would fall down as soon as it was pushed.
Once the Volunteers broke through Fengcheng, a gap was revealed in the entire defense line of western Liaoning. The most terrible thing is that the Japanese army really built the fortifications of Fengcheng very well! After Zhang Zuolin knocked it down from the inside, he only needed to put a few thousand people to guard here, and he had no hope of plugging this gap at all!
There is also the same defense line in Anping, which is defending the North Korean side of the Yalu River, but after the volunteers beat Fengcheng, they attacked from behind the defense line. When they have conquered the port of Anping, they can also use the fortifications there to block their troops from crossing the river in pursuit!
Dashan Yan suddenly felt so stupid! It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that he had been wrong from the beginning to the present. He has always been arranging the defense line, but Yang Dagui has broken through again and again to shake his entire defense line.
Why do you still think about arranging a line of defense after every loss? But what should you do if you don't set up a line of defense? Now that the gap is destined to be torn open, what can I do to plug him? That's pretty much! It's just such a little negligence and misstep! Why didn't you carefully check the tunnels in Fengcheng?
He couldn't find an answer to a series of questions, and in a trance he felt a wave of dizziness, and then a fishy sweet smell rushed to his mouth and nose, and his eyes suddenly went black, as if the whole world was shaking.
"Commander!"
"Commander-in-Chief!"
"Medic! Where is the medic! ”
All he heard was this cacophony of sounds. (To be continued......)
