Ding Ruchang Governor’s Office is sulking. I can’t believe that Beiyang Navy has come to such a point. If it weren’t for this time, nave’s adults wanted to rectify their armaments and eliminate redundant personnel. I really didn’t know that a quarter of these ammunition could not be scrapped or solid coaches’ bombs, and the technology was rotten. Fang Boqian, the leader of Jiyuan Ship, gathered people to gamble and be greedy for ink, and even prostitutes brought Jiyuan Ship to have fun! Shame on you! If the navy can fight like this!
Ding Ruchang adjusted four naval vessels in one fell swoop to purge military discipline, but what about ammunition? This is not an urgent need to supplement it! Moreover, the four Ming armies supporting North Korea have arrived in Yantai and will leave for North Korea in a few days. How can we fight the Japanese army without enough ammunition?
Ding Ruchang is quite stuffy officer came in from the outside and said, "Sir Li Zhongtang sent an urgent message for you to have a look."
Ding Ruchang took the newspaper from the clerk’s hand and read it in detail. With the deepening of reading, Ding Ruchang frowned for a long time before he shouted, "Order all the ship belts to come to the governor’s office for deliberation!"
After about half an hour, the management belts of each battalion arrived in Ding Ruchang one after another, and they looked around and said, "The day before yesterday, nave’s adult sent a supervisor to rectify Beiyang armament. After these days’ rectification, a group of black sheep have been expelled from all ships, and the morale of the army has gradually picked up. This is a good thing. Just now, nave’s adult transferred to North Korea. Nie Gongting said that they successfully detected that Ito Sukeyuki, the commander of the Japanese navy, had already made preparations and prepared for our army to transport reinforcements to attack our army on the way to North Korea. They chose the place near Dadonggou,
"ah!" When they heard it, they didn’t exclaim that it was necessary to attack beiyang fleet in the waters near Dadonggou. This Dadonggou happened to be the only way for troop carriers to go by sea and land. If it wasn’t for the news before, wouldn’t it be a trap for us to transport Ming troops to North Korea these two days?
Company commanders Liu Buchan step forward hand asked "adult since old nave to that we take such as amiable form? After all, the situation in North Zuo Baogui is tense. Now I heard that the Japanese army in North Korea has more than 20,000 times as many as the Qing Army. Besides, reinforcements such as’s military gate have not yet arrived in Kaesong. It is imperative to transport reinforcements by sea urgently. "
On one side, Deng Shichang, the duct tape of the Zhiyuan ship, nodded and said, "Brother Buchan said that it is very urgent for North Korea now that we don’t send troops."
Ding Ruchang mused, "nave’s adult asked us to maintain our strength. Now Guangdong and Nanyang Navy have not arrived. Only relying on our Beiyang department, there is no chance of winning …"
Liu Buchan said with a smile, "Your Excellency is powerful, powerful and wise. Although our Beiyang troops and firearms are not dominant, we have obtained the information that the Japanese navy attacked our army in Dadonggou, which is just the right thing to do. I suggest that beiyang fleet escort the reinforcements in two teams and one follows the warships in front to keep a distance, so that the Japanese army should not be aware of our attempt. When the Japanese attack is in full swing, the reinforcements behind us will be directly inserted into the Japanese navy’s ribs from behind, and his formation will be scattered. This way, our army should be able to win by surprise."
Ding Ruchang pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he said firmly, "It’s just a big deal that we died in battle or lost our official position. Toad said that this is a godsend opportunity. Instead of taking it, we took the blame. We ordered Zhenyuan, Dingyuan, Jingyuan, Chaoyuan, Guangjia, Guangc, Zhendong, Zhenxi and the front of the twelve ships in the town to escort the troop carriers, and they must meet the enemy in a wild goose formation to oppress the Japanese navy. Guangyi, Zhennan, and Zhenbei meet the front fleet and keep a distance of ten miles. Once the Japanese fleet is separated, it will accelerate. The front geese will sink or hit hard when they hit each other in the shortest time! After rushing to support our flagship, we surrounded the Japanese main force and tried to annihilate it! In this campaign, I have to be careful to prepare for the pre-war matters and wait for military orders! "
Ding Ruchang waved his hand and said, "Leave the toad behind for a while."
Chapter 39 A bloody battle in Kaesong
Kaicheng Zhang Yi assisted Nie Shicheng in handling the army and had already rushed back to Maoershan.
Zhang Yi looked at the Japanese garrison in the distance with a telescope. The Japanese army was somewhat heavy. Now there are no more than 5,000 people in Kaesong. At the same time, the soldiers are well-trained and there are weapons and ammunition coming from behind. On the other hand, Kaesong is not a small city, but after all, it can’t be supported by Seoul and Pyongyang for a while. I’m afraid the pressure will increase greatly. Fortunately, I led the Cang Lang brigade to stop the attack and killed dozens of Japanese officers as much as possible, which delayed the Japanese attack.
Zhang Yi has already handed over the trench fortification structure diagram to Tang Keqiang. Although Tang Keqiang has never seen such fortifications before, he can naturally see that the benefits of such fortifications can definitely minimize the casualties of his own troops and protect his strength.
Tang Keqiang came here to personally take a few brothers of Cang Lang Brigade to command a battalion of troops to build fortifications nervously.
Tang Keqiang looked at the criss-crossing trenches and sighed to himself that these trenches can minimize the lethality of enemy artillery shells, and at the same time, the parapet and sandbags can effectively block the bullets from the front. The criss-crossing trenches can make the soldiers’ bunkers mobilize and support at will. There are still pieces of barbed wire in front of them to hinder the enemy’s progress. Unfortunately, it is a war, that is, where can we find so many barbed wire? I’ll try to find some, but it’s already good. These fortifications are all under the personal command of several backbones of Cang Lang Brigade. It’s amazing that these people are almost incapable of military skills. In just a few months, they have been trained so badly by Zhang Yi. If they really train for two or three years, what a terrible army this Cang Lang Brigade will be!
Zhang Yi came to Tang Keqiang and said, "How’s Brother Keqiang’s fortifications?"
Tang Keqiang laughed. "Bro, rest assured that the whole fortification foundation has been repaired. It will take another two or three hours to complete this nearly two days. It’s really suffocating that a battalion of people rotates in three shifts to get it repaired. The brothers are so tired."
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Enkeqiang’s brothers have worked hard, but their own lives are hard. It’s also worth it. After the completion of the fortifications, let the brothers rest quickly. It is estimated that the Japanese army will launch an offensive in the day. Although we don’t know whether they will attack Kaesong or attack here first, we must all be prepared for the battle."
Tang Keqiang nodded and said, "Good boy, leave all these things to me to arrange. You just need to command the battle well then."
ōshima Yoshimasa in the Japanese army camp is having a hard time these days. More than 6,000 troops in this HunChengLv have not been given by Nie Shicheng and Ye Zhichao North-South Camp, but they have been blocked by that mysterious small army. They have lost dozens of middle-level officers and artillery casualties, and they have to rest for two days to straighten out the army and straighten out the command. General Incheon Yamagata Aritomo has severely reprimanded himself and expressed serious dissatisfaction with the battle ahead of him. I heard that he met a mysterious enemy and sent his right-hand man Akiyama Haogu to support him. If there is no significant progress, he will be supported.
ōshima Yoshimasa’s heart is quite stuffy. This mysterious Cang Lang Brigade is really too difficult to deal with. When he was reorganizing his armaments, the scouts came to report that Kaesong actually sent hundreds of people to occupy the commanding heights around Kaesong. Maoershan is building fortifications. ōshima Yoshimasa’s heart andao this Nie Shicheng is really not simple. It’s not the kui that a famous veteran of the Qing Dynasty has made a powerful deployment to the defense so quickly. These hundreds of people have taken the strategic high ground like a sword hanging their heads and can attack Kaesong at any time. Waiting to harass your rear is that you can’t concentrate on attacking Kaesong. I want to attack the Qing army back to Kaesong while the Qing army in Maoershan is unstable, but I haven’t finished the rest of my Hunchenglv. It’s definitely not a small price to pay for getting twice the result with half the effort. It’s even more difficult to take away the city again.
Now that my HunChengLv has completed its reorganization, it is necessary to launch an attack. Which one should I fight first? ōshima Yoshimasa hasn’t decided yet.
ōshima Yoshimasa was bored and shouted "Somebody!"
A Japanese soldier came in and stood at attention and said, "Do you have any instructions from the General Pavilion?"
ōshima Yoshimasa replied, "Order all the officers to come to the command post for deliberation." "Hay!" The soldier promised to act quickly and went out.
In a moment, all the Japanese officers came to the command post, and even Akiyama came over. This time, he directly brought a cavalry squadron to assist ōshima Yoshimasa’s follow-up Japanese reinforcements on their way to Kaesong.
ōshima Yoshimasa saw that the personnel had almost arrived and waved their hands to detain the command post. ōshima Yoshimasa said, "Gentlemen, now that we HunChengLv personnel have been reorganized, we can attack the Qing army at any time, sooner rather than later. We can’t fully prepare the Qing army, so we called you to discuss the attack. Now Nie Shicheng’s department in Kaesong has sent an army stationed in Maoershan, which is only a few kilometers away from us, threatening our flank at any time, making us unable to attack the Kaesong Institute. I plan to annihilate the Qing army in Maoershan first and then turn around and lay siege to Kaesong."
ōshima Yoshimasa looked at Akiyama Hiroyuki, a prominent rising star of the Japanese army, and Akiyama Hiroyuki really deserves ōshima Yoshimasa’s attention.
Akiyama smiled coldly and said, "There are only 3,000 Qing troops across from Oshima Jun, and even the morale of the Qing army is low. Our army is twice as strong as that of the Qing army. This is a winning situation. How to attack can take away the city? I need to send a brigade to pin down the Qing army across from Maoershan and then lay siege to Kaicheng, the main force of our army. It will take one day for our army to take away the city and then send troops to Maoershan to eliminate this Qing army. It will take two days to finish the war before the arrival of Qing reinforcements, and then back to Kaicheng to give the Qing reinforcements a head-on blow to wipe
Sato, the captain of the 10 th League on one side, frowned slightly. This Akiyama is so proud that he just came to the enemy and didn’t know the enemy’s situation. So, what makes it so? Sato said, "Qiushan Jun’s commander-in-chief of the Qing army, Nie Shicheng, is a well-known veteran of the Great Qing Dynasty and has a Kaesong barrier. At the same time, there is a partial division stationed in the western highlands that threatens our flank at any time. If our army wants to divide its forces and attack at the same time, I am afraid it will be difficult to win at the moment. If I expected, the mysterious detachment of the Qing army did not enter Kaesong and was left outside the city by Nie Shicheng. We must not be careless."
Akiyama Haogu’s face changed slightly. This guy has always been arrogant. Sato refuted this in front of everyone. He didn’t feel unhappy and stayed to speak back. ōshima Yoshimasa said, "Mysterious team? Sato Jun, I’m sorry, but I ignored this Qing army. Although the number is small, it is really a menace to us! Qiushan Jun, I hope you can divide your elite cavalry into several teams and send them out for close reconnaissance. You must dig them out and destroy them! Without the intrusion of the Qing army, we can rest assured that we will besiege Kaesong or Maoershan and ask you to eliminate the mysterious Qing army. I will ask the commander of Shanxian County to make a contribution! "
Chapter 40 A bloody battle Kaesong II
Akiyama doesn’t want to distinguish it in his heart, but when he saw ōshima Yoshimasa with a dignified face, he even said it, but it was not good to talk again and was silent.
ōshima Yoshimasa said, "So I ordered Akiyama Haogu to send a cavalry brigade to search for the mysterious troops of the Qing army and wait for an opportunity to annihilate them; Sato is commanding the main force of the 10th United Front to besiege Maoershan, but there are only a few hundred of them. Among us, there are more than 2,000 troops. One day, I want to see the Japanese military chess inserted into the top of Maoershan! I will keep a close eye on the enemy in Kaicheng. If Kaicheng wants to rescue me, I will ambush them as much as we can! "
ōshima Yoshimasa’s arrangement is not imprecise. If Kaesong sends troops for help, the Japanese main force will be intercepted halfway. If Kaesong doesn’t send troops, more than 2,000 people will be able to isolate Maoershan in one day, and then siege Kaesong with the troops in the big victory will surely succeed in World War I. Generals at all levels will also have to admire ōshima Yoshimasa’s wily.
Looking at the newly-built trench fortifications outside Zhang Yi’s fortifications in Maoershan, I nodded with relief. Although the veterans of Laoshan Camp are unruly, they are still very experienced in combat. They can be guided by a dozen reconnaissance battalion soldiers, understand trench fortifications and trench warfare in such a short time, and build strong fortifications at the same time. They can really be called elite divisions of the Great Qing Dynasty.
Tang Keqiang, Zhang Yi, looked at the trench fortifications and nodded his head. His heart was also filled with emotion. This Zhang Yi is worthy of Nie Junmen’s esteem. He is really powerful enough. Such a fortifications can really be said to fail the Great Wall. When ten thousand cannot force it has its own defense of Maoershan, it has also been greatly grasped.
Just as two people were inspecting the fortifications, an army soldier came running and said, "There is a Japanese army approaching Daren Mountain, and I’m afraid it will attack."
Zhang Yiwen got a shock in his heart, picked up a telescope and looked at the mountain. In the distance, a Japanese army was approaching quickly, and it was not long before it could reach the mountain to attack.
Zhang Yi shouted, "Order all personnel departments to enter the fortifications and enter the fighting state!" The soldier bowed down and replied, "Yes!" Go ahead, turn around and order.
Zhang Yi said to Tang Keqiang, "It’s up to us two brothers when the battle between Brother Keqiang comes!"
Tang Keqiang smiled. "Brother, listen to the brother’s dispatch of this battle. We must give the ghost some color to see!" Say two people turned into the fortifications.
The old mountain camp brothers had just been in place in the fortifications, and the Japanese army had already arrived at the mountain. Sato was narrowing his eyes and looking at the corners of Maoershan with a sneer. Hundreds of people were tight, and a hill wanted to resist his army of more than 2,000 people. That was an idiotic dream. No matter which Qing army you are, it will surely disappear!
Sato Masaharu said, "The artillery immediately adjusted the various targets-the position of the Qing army in Maoershan gave me fire cover to attack. I want to blow Maoershan upside down!"
Sato Masayoshi had just fallen and was ready soon. A busy mountain gun and a wild gun attacked the artillery positions, and they were already in place and fired together. At the moment, the guns rumbled into the sky. Maoershan was suddenly blown up by rocks and trees, and the smoke was rolling in the trench fortifications. Although there were few casualties, the Qing army was choked by smoke.
Zhang Yishen said, "Make everyone pay attention to concealment. Don’t be accidentally injured by stray bullets and gravel. Don’t fire in a hurry. Wait for the ghost to enter the rifle range and fire uniformly. No! Tell the brothers of the artillery position reconnaissance battalion to quickly lock in the Japanese artillery position and attack them to destroy their powerful firepower points! "
Aside to make soldiers hurried to make.
The Japanese mountain artillery carried out more than ten rounds of artillery fire in a row before it gradually stopped. Sato’s face flashed a smile. Such a large-scale artillery attack on a small hill must have destroyed the fortifications. Sato was cold and said, "Ordering the artillery not to stop shooting and continue shelling will destroy the fighting capacity of the Qing army to the greatest extent."
