Chapter 166 Furious Military Soul
Most of the companies that entered Anzhou City were arrested or surrounded, but a few people escaped the Japanese army, crossed the wall, returned to the Daning River, and reported the situation in the city to Zhou Charter.
Zhou Charter suddenly realized that Han Ling was exposed, but Zhang Jun's combat intention was not exposed.
Although the Japanese army strengthened its vigilance in Anzhou, in the eyes of the Japanese commander, the vigilance was aimed at a small group of resistance, not a large-scale counterattack by the Qing army.
At the same time, the Japanese search force came to the south bank of the Daning River.
In the dark night, the Japanese horse lanterns suddenly appeared, and they obviously had not found Zhang Jun on the north coast. However, after the Japanese army came to the riverside, they stationed down. According to Aso Fujino's order, they had to be on guard by the Daning River to prevent possible enemy troops.
Zhou Charter is very anxious, and there is a temporary error in the judgment of the Japanese army, but this mistake will not last too long!
Once more and more people are arrested, the Japanese army will realize that this group of people mixed into Anzhou is not a scattered Dongxue, but a regular army!
Japanese commanders will soon realize what it means for a regular army to enter the city?
Moreover, after dawn, the Japanese army on the other side will soon find the Zhang army in Jiangbei. A larger Qing army appeared in the Daning River, and the Japanese army in the city will immediately make a correct judgment - the Qing army wants to capture Anzhou!
The Japanese army in the city is not afraid, but the city of Anzhou is tall and strong, and the Zhang army has no experience in attacking the city. Once it is blocked by the Daning River or Anzhou city and returns to Anzhou, Zhou Charter will fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy. As a result, it can only be besieged and annihilated by the Japanese army.
Once Zhou Charter fails, the tire and the bridge river defense line will be meaningless!
The whole battle plan will be completely failed!
The more terrible prospect is that Zhang Jun is artificially four, and the mixed brigade can calmly eliminate the four enemy troops under Anzhou, Tailifeng, Qiaochuan River and Yizhou one by one.
There are two ways in front of the Zhou Charter.
First, immediately cross the river, destroy the Japanese army on the other side before the enemy finds Zhang Jun's intention, quickly press under Anzhou, and launch a strong attack on Anzhou before the enemy wakes up!
Second, the whole army retreated to the Qiaochuan River and joined the defenders of the Qiaochuan River.
The advantage of the former is that once successful, the whole strategic intention can be realized; however, this is extremely risky. The most important problem is that although the number of Japanese troops stationed in Anzhou is not large, they are well-equipped and well-trained, the city of Anzhou is strong, and Zhangjun lacks experience in siege. Once Anzhou cannot be overcome, the consequences are extremely severe. Heavy.
The latter passively avoids war, but at least can preserve its strength. Once it retreats to the Qiaochuan River, it can also find fighters. However, Zhang Xun's third regiment, the main regiment of Shangzhang Army, will completely become a lonely army and can only be at the end of fate.
What's worse is that once you retreat, the so-called preservation of strength is just illusory!
The Japanese army will never allow a resistance force in North Korea! This is an obvious fact. retreat only delays the demise, but it can't change the demise!
Zhou Charter resolutely ordered to cross the river to fight.
Without ships, the officers and soldiers of the division's battalion and 401 battalion jumped into the cold river.
Feng Guozhang personally led a company as the leading force. The direct battalion is the elite of Zhang Jun, and this sharp knife company is the elite of the directly subordinate battalion.
When the leading troops landed on the south bank, the Japanese army found Zhang Jun's forced crossing operation and immediately launched a blocking attack. The gunshots cut through the long cold night.
Feng Guozhang attacked bravely and decisively. He faithfully carried out Zhou Charter's order to completely annihilate the Japanese army on the opposite shore in the shortest time at all costs, and no Japanese soldier could escape the net.
After the sharp knife landed continuously, it launched an almost suicide attack on the Japanese army. The soldiers went forward and followed, completely ignored the casualties, and quickly surrounded the Japanese team.
This Japanese army has only more than 50 people. Although it is well trained and accurate, it can't stop Zhang Jun's sharp knife and desperate attacks. What's more, in the night, the shooting techniques of the Japanese army were greatly reduced.
Feng Guozhang asked the soldiers not to take into account the casualties and charge continuously. After rushing to the Japanese position, he immediately launched a white-handed battle.
To avoid the gap in tactical literacy between Zhang Jun and the Japanese army, the only way is to engage in close combat.
The sharp knife launched a sea of people tactics and surrounded and annihilated the Japanese team by the Daning River with three times the advantage of the enemy. The whole battle only melted for half an hour, which can be said to be rapid.
Fortunately, after the Japanese army was surrounded, they did not choose to break through. They held on to the position and fought to the last person. Fifty Japanese soldiers chose to die in battle and commit suicide, and none of them laid down their weapons.
The samurai spirit of Japanese soldiers is admirable, but sometimes, the samurai spirit is also very rigid.
Japanese officers and soldiers chose jade fragments! However, they ignored an important link - they should find ways to pass on the enemy situation by the Daning River back to Anzhou City.
The sound of gunfire by the Daning River reached Anzhou City, which aroused Aso Fujino's vigilance, but it did not cause him enough vigilance!
The gunfire by the Daning River only sounded for half an hour before it fell silent, and the gunfire was not fierce.
Fuchino Aso took it for granted that the Japanese army was suppressing Dongxue believers.
He did not expect that when the mixed brigade marched north, the main force of the Qing army would appear in the Daning River.
From this moment on, the opportunity of Zhou Charter has come.
The commandos advanced to Anzhou with all their strength. At dawn, they saw the wall of Anzhou.
On the wall, the Japanese army was armed with live ammunition and a cannon was set up on the Ximen Tower.
After a night of search and arrest, Fujino Aso finally realized that it was not a group of Dongxue's rabble that sneaked into Anzhou City, but an army.
The team searching for vigilance by the Daning River is likely to be more or less auspicious.
The Japanese army climbed the wall and the cannon took off their coats.
Zhou Charter has no choice but to attack.
October 20, 1894, Pyongyang, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.
Army Marshal Youpeng in Shan County was furious, and the officers and soldiers at all levels below the chief of staff stood upright and couldn't take their eyes off the roaring commander.
The power of Youpeng in Shanxian County has never been shown by anger. In fact, Youpeng in Shanxian has never been so frustrated since he came to the First Army.
Youpeng in Shanxian is never happy or angry. When he is satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, he just nodded slightly, and when the performance of his subordinates is not so satisfactory, he is only slightly distant.
A nod is enough to make people ecstatic, and his subordinates who shake their heads know what they should do, and they will automatically accept the punishment they deserve, or even apologize.
This is the highest level of a general. His eyes are orders, irresistible orders.
Therefore, in the eyes of reporters, there are friends in Shan County who are self-restrained.
At least, in the eyes of Tsuaki Kamei, Yamagata is a respectable elder. Kamei landed in Incheon with the main force of the First Army. As a senior photojournalist, he was assigned to the headquarters of the First Army, focusing on interviewing senior generals of the First Army, including their strategic decision-making and enemy command.
Kamei's photography technology is perfect. In his camera, Yupeng Yamagata is an outstanding model of the Meiji New Army, wise, well-bred and profound, and even carries the unique elegance of Orientals and the stereotype of Westerners. The photos were sent back to China and published in newspapers, and Japanese citizens accepted the image of such a commander through the photos.
After three months of coexistence with friends in Shan County, Katsuaki Kamei thought he knew the commander.
However, this morning, the performance of friends in Yamagata surprised Kamui.
Youpeng in Shanxian seems to have changed into a person. The calm and steady commander disappeared and was replaced by a roaring beast!
Kamei Tsumei seems to have seen a warlord in the shogunate era!
The Japanese army marshal, the soul of the Meiji New Army, slapped a staff officer for no reason, and then overthrew the sand table placed in the center of the battle room.
This sand table marks the mountains, rivers and roads from North Korea to Manchuria, as well as the deployment of the Japanese and Qing armies. Kamei knew that this was actually the next battle plan of the First Army.
For this plan, some friends in Shanxian County have spent a lot of energy. This sand table marks an impeccable attack, starting from the Yalu River to Fengtian to Shanhaiguan! Every walk of the Japanese army entering Manchuria is pre-designed and extremely accurate.
That's his masterpiece. In fact, Youpeng in Shanxian County did not pay much attention to the war in North Korea. In his opinion, the Korean War is only a prelude to the battle of the First Army, and the real war should be in Manchuria! That's where he showed his skills.
However, today, a friend in Shanxian County personally overthrew his masterpiece!
