Chapter 093 Incheon Port
"It's all in the forest, everyone is alive and energetic, and we have also received more than 50 second sentry brothers." Then Ha Wuxiao said, "Today's matter, speaking of which, the two masters are right. They are both his mother's visionary, far-sighted, upright, and the mirror is hanging high..."
"You've finished your fucking nonsense!" Luo Mingfang shouted.
"It's over, it's over. Let's get to the point." That five. He said slowly, "Mr. Luo, it's right for Mr. Zhou to blow up your cannon. If everyone drags the cannon away, they will become little Japanese prisoners now! Therefore, you must understand Mr. Zhou's good intentions.
Luo Mingfang snorted.
Naha Wu turned to Zhou Charter again: "However, then again, without the wise command of Mr. Luo, even without the drag of the cannon, we can't escape. Mr. Luo said that the second sentry can only withstand the sky for 15 minutes. If we run along the road to Tian'an and can't run far, the Japanese cavalry will catch up with us. Therefore, Mr. Luo ordered us to run to the mountain, which is here! Mr. Zhou, if it weren't for Mr. Luo, not only would we not be able to live, but would you also catch these little Japanese?
Zhou Charter woke up. The second sentry did not stop it for 15 minutes. Luo Mingfang was really a general and calculated the second sentry. He made the best choice - to change the direction of retreat and move forward to the rear of the Japanese, which coincided with Zhou Charter's idea.
Zhou Charter hugged Luo Mingfang and said, "Luo Guandai, I'm offended. Zhou Charter blew up 8 cannons for you today. One day, I will give you 80 cannons!"
Luo Mingfang shouted, "Be your mother's spring and autumn dream! If you can get 8 cannons back for me, this matter will be written off today. If we can't find them back, let's wait and see!"
Naha Wu said, "Congratulations on the two masters' words of good-to-face." With that, he took the lead in applauding. The soldiers were stunned and applauded with Naha Wu.
After everyone applauded, Zhou Charter asked Luo Mingfang, "Brother Luo, what should we do next?"
Luo Mingfang looked at the towering peaks around him and said, "In this damn place, rabbits don't shit. I'm an artilleryman. I don't understand the reputation of your infantry. It's up to you."
Luo Mingfang is still interesting. His artillery has only about 100 people, and without cannons, he has become an infantry. Now everyone is tied together and become an army. A unit must have a head. Luo Mingming, an artillery belt, is obviously not suitable to be the head of this infantry, even if he is a thousand president.
Moreover, in the battle of Chenghuan, the two did not fight and did not know each other. Luo Mingfang admitted from the bottom of her heart that this fourth-stage infantry brother was better than his second-stage brother of artillery.
Zhao Xiaoman, Yao Xi and Naha five echoed one after another: "Yes, sir, you have the final say."
The artillerymen also agreed to learn about the interests of Zhou Charter in the battle of Chenghuan.
Lai Chuanwu leaned against the big tree with no expression on his face.
Zhou Charter noticed that although the officers and soldiers of Zhangzi Camp were mentally exhausted, they were fully equipped, and no one threw away their weapons.
In this way, except for the destruction of the second sentry, the new sentry and the first sentry retreated completely. In addition, there are more than 100 artillery without artillery, and the total strength is still maintained at 500.
This is the best result, much better than Zhou Charter expected. He thought that there would be dozens of defeated soldiers left in Zhangzi Camp. Now it seems that Zhangzi Camp still maintains its combat effectiveness. No, it should be said that after the battle of Chenghuan, whether it is the officers and soldiers of Zhangzi Battalion who are from the footman or from the army, their combat effectiveness has improved.
This is a gradually vibrant army.
They have experienced the baptism of artillery fire, seen the battlefield of flesh and blood, and witnessed the death of their comrades-in-arms and enemies. They have killed the enemy and been hit by the enemy. They have defeated the enemy and lost to the enemy. They have rushed into battle and been chased by the enemy. They have been scared to pee their pants, and also I once fought a bayonet with the enemy... What a soldier should have experienced, they have all experienced!
This is a veteran!
No matter how young they are, even if they are only fifteen or sixteen years old, you have to call every soldier in this team "veteran".
In the hands of Zhou Charter, there are 500 "veteran"!
This is the most valuable asset!
Zhou Charter asked, "Who has a map?"
A artillery shed leader quickly handed him a map of North Korea. The quality and equipment of the artillery battalion were better than those of infantry, and the map was a must for them.
Zhou Charter opened the map and first found the location of Zhangzi Camp, which is a alpine canyon marked as Dayu Ling on the map. 15 kilometers northwest of Dayuling is Chenghuan, 50 kilometers north is Tian'an, and about 80 kilometers northeast is the capital.
In the southwest of Dayuling, there is a road leading to Incheon Port. There is also a road to the east that leads directly to Chunchuan.
Zhou Charter closed the map and his brain was running fast.
Zhangzi Camp has become a lonely army, hanging alone in the south of North Korea, thousands of mountains and rivers away from the Qing Dynasty. The Korean court has declared its independence and declared that the Qing army is an aggressor. If Zhang Ziying continues to stay in the south of North Korea, it will undoubtedly be extremely dangerous. The North Korean attitude towards the Qing army has changed. Zhangzi Battalion will not receive any food and ammunition supplies, and this force will be in a desperate situation.
The best choice to survive is to go north to Pyongyang. That is the stronghold of the Qing army in North Korea. However, after the Japanese army occupied Chenghuan, the whole army was bound to advance rapidly north. Their purpose was to capture Pyongyang as soon as possible. Once the Japanese army took Pyongyang, the northern capital of North Korea, it was of great political significance. Even if most areas have not been occupied, at least nominally, the Japanese army has completed the occupation of North Korea.
From the capital to Pyongyang, it is all the world of the Japanese army.
There are still two ways in front of the Zhou Charter.
First, go to Incheon in the southwest, try to capture the ships and return home by pan-sea. This is a shortcut to the Qing Dynasty. Before the war, the Qing Dynasty sent more troops to North Korea through this sea route. Moreover, it is less than 80 kilometers from Dayuling to Incheon.
Second, go southeast, bypass the capital, go to Chunchuan, then cross Chunchuan, reach the northeast coast of North Korea, and detour along the coastline to Pyongyang. The difficulty of this road is that it stretches for thousands of miles, the terrain is complex, and the Qing army has never walked this road before. They are not familiar with the land and have no food supplies. The advantage is that in the area north of Chunchuan, the possibility of large Japanese troops is very small. There are only more than 20,000 Japanese troops stationed in North Korea, one of which needs to be stationed in the capital to suppress possible resistance, and the main force is to attack Pyongyang. The Japanese are still unable to take care of the area north of Chunchuan.
Moreover, Chunchuan is less than 100 miles away from the capital. The road to Chunchuan passes by the capital. These 500 people in Zhangziying are likely to disturb the Japanese army in the capital. Once they catch fire, they can't run away - the Japanese army left in the capital must be elite.
Zhou Charter said, "I think we'd better go south to Incheon!"
Luo Mingfang was stunned and said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Incheon is the landing point of the Japanese army. If the logistics supplies of the Japanese army are to be transported from China to North Korea, they must pass through Incheon Port. They will definitely set up heavy troops in Incheon. When we go there, we will throw ourselves into the net. Even if we rushed to Incheon and seized the ship, we could not go to sea. The sea road had been cut off. After the Battle of Toyoshima, the Beiyang sailors withdrew from the southern waters of North Korea, and the sea had long been the world of the Japanese combined fleet.
Zhou Charter smiled and said, "Brother Luo, didn't you just say it? I have the final say."
......
Major Mitsumi, the god-tailed Mitsumi, hung his arm and walked on the dock of Incheon Port.
At Songgu Peak, he was ambushed and a bullet rubbed his heart through his body. Until now, he hasn't figured out who attacked him in the city.
A merchant ship with a displacement of 2,000 tons is moored on the dock, which is the largest merchant ship in Japan, Nishikyo Maru, owned by the Japanese Postal Ship Company. After the government issued the war mobilization order, the postal shipping company provided all the four largest merchant ships it owned to the military free of charge.
So far, the military has requisitioned 136 civilian ships, with a total displacement of nearly 300,000 tons. These civilian ships are basically used free of charge, or only a small symbolic rent. It was because of the joining of these ships that more than 20,000 people in the First Army were extremely equipped and logistically able to arrive in North Korea in just 20 days, thus giving the Japanese army an absolute advantage in North Korea.
What is puzzling is that according to the report of spies in Tianjin, the Qing Dynasty, the other side of the war, has not requisitioned a commercial ship so far, but only relied on the rental of Western merchant ships to transport war materials.
Shenwei Guangchen is a Chinese master. His military career, also can also be said to be a spy career, started in China. From Liaodong to Shandong, Shenwei Guangchen knows everything about it.
Therefore, the war posture of the Qing Dynasty was unexpected and unexpected.
The mutual distrust between the imperial court and the subjects of the Qing Dynasty is the direct cause of this result. The subjects were worried that the court would take their ship and never return it back, while the court was worried that the subjects would sell the warship full of military supplies and fatten their private pockets.
In fact, the country that flaunts benevolence, righteousness and morality is facing an unprecedented crisis of trust. The court and the people, officials and the people, officials and officials, the people and the people are not interdependent, but mutual use. Since they are mutually exploited, they naturally need to keep one hand.
The court of the Qing Dynasty would rather believe in foreigners than Chinese people. Foreigners are very hateful and ask for extremely high prices, but they always have to do things with money, so it is difficult for Chinese people to say.
Kami Mitsumi believes that this country that lacks trust must be a plate of scattered sand, and the Qing Dynasty is not the opponent of the Great Japanese Empire at all.
