Chapter 161 Three Goals!

From Yuan Shikai's mouth, Zhou Charter has learned the general direction of the Qing-Japanese War.

In the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the Japanese Combined Fleet defeated the invincible Beiyang Marine Division, which greatly fueled the arrogance of the navy. In Japan's base camp, the navy gradually gained the upper hand, demanding to take advantage of the victory to attack the Shandong Peninsula of the Qing Dynasty, destroy the Beiyang navy in one fell swoop, and hit the heart of the Qing Dynasty - Zhili!

There are various signs that the Japanese army is preparing to fight south. If the Japanese army changes its strategic direction, it means that North Korea, the birthplace of the war, will become a secondary battlefield. In the battle of the Yalu River, we must make way for the battle of Shandong!

If this is the case, the Japanese base camp is likely to withdraw troops from North Korea and reinforce Shandong. There are friends in the mountains and counties in North Korea who can't resist the pressure from the base camp and can only obey.

In this way, the strength of the first army of friends in Shan County may be greatly reduced, making him unable to take care of Anzhou.

However, this is only Zhou Charter's wishful thinking.

Yamagata is stubborn and stubborn. As the soul of the Japanese army, he has supreme prestige. In many cases, politicians in the Japanese military department and cabinet also have to act in his eyes.

It is his lifelong dream to break through the Yalu River and enter Manchuria. There is a possibility that friends in Shanxian County will ignore the base camp and insist on leading the first army to brazenly launch the Battle of the Yalu River.

If you want to force Shanxian Youpeng to change his mind, you must break his arrogance and arrogance and force him to retreat!

So, Zhou Charter aimed at the mixed brigade!

The mixed brigade is the pride of the Japanese army. From Seoul to Pyongyang, the mixed brigade has always been a pioneer and has been invincible all the way. The mixed brigade has almost become a synonym for victory.

Get rid of the mixed brigade! Break down the confidence of friends in Shan County! It will also hit the morale of the Japanese army!

This is an adventure of killing three birds with one stone - destroy the mixed brigade, occupy Anzhou, an important town in the north, and prevent friends from mountain counties from moving north!

The three goals must be achieved at the same time. If any of them is not achieved, Zhou Charter will face the crazy revenge of the First Army of the Japanese Army. Not only will it not get Anzhou, but also Yizhou will not be able to defend it. In the end, Zhang Jun will be eliminated by the Japanese army in North Korea.

However, every goal is extremely difficult.

With the existing equipment and strength of Zhangjun, if you want to eat the mixed brigade, it is more powerful than going to the sky!

If you can't eat the mixed brigade, then Zhang Jun will become a sandwich biscuit, which is sandwiched by the main force of the first army of the mixed brigade in peace and Pyongyang.

If this is the result, Anzhou is not a pie, but a trap.

The premise of eliminating the mixed brigade is to break through Anzhou and cut off the back road of the mixed brigade. However, Anzhou City has high walls, and the defenders are well equipped and well trained. If Anzhou can't be captured, once the mixed brigade under the peak of the fetus returns to the division, Zhou Charter's army will become sandwich biscuits.

The three goals are interdependent, and the three goals seem to be contradictory.

The action of Zhou Charter is completely an adventure!

What's more sinister is that since the start of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army has been defeated on various battlefields, and the main forces of the well-equipped Qing army can only be exhausted from defense, and Zhou Charter dared to lead his dilapidated army to launch a counterattack against the fiercely hungry Japanese army! This is not in line with the law of war!

Uneasy regular playing often loses miserably.

However, Zhou Charter had no choice but to take risks.

He doesn't have a chance at all.

The opportunity of Zhou Charter is at the peak of the fetus!

The peak in the fetus is an unknown peak. Among the lofty mountains of North Korea, there are countless such peaks. It can't even be regarded as a strategic place for soldiers, because it is a single peak raised on the plain, surrounded by no support. In the eyes of any commander, it is a Jedi.

However, in the eyes of Zhou Charter, it is a rare opportunity.

Fulifeng can delay the mixed brigade, consume its living power, drag down its morale, confuse its judgment, and make the mixed brigade unable to take care of both the beginning and end.

Zhou Charter needs to seize the momentary confusion or hesitation of the mixed brigade and take Anzhou before Aokiyuan wakes up.

All opportunities are fleeting like a white horse. The opportunity of Zhou Charter lies in that moment!

The peak in the fetus should be hit hard and can be delayed!

And for Anzhou's attack, it is even more rapid.

If Zhang Xun can't stand it and is quickly defeated and destroyed by the mixed brigade, the mixed brigade will either return to Shi'an Prefecture to eliminate Zhou Charter, or ignore Anzhou and go straight to Yizhou. No matter what the result is, Zhou Charter will die.

"How is the peak in the fetus?" Zhou Charter asked.

Feng Guozhang shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not very good. Come to report that Luo Mingfang has lost ten highlands, and the third regiment has suffered heavy casualties."

"How many other highlands are in our hands?"

"There are only five highlands left below Donglin Waterfall."

"So, there are at least ten highlands in our hands!" Zhou Charter said in a low voice, "Luo Mingfang should not have used the reserve team yet. We still have time."

The deployment on the peak of the tire is personally studied and formulated by Zhou Charter, with point control tactics, and also the tactical policy determined by Zhou Charter. Luo Mingfang only faithfully implemented Zhou Charter's intention.

"We should cross the river to attack the city as soon as possible. If it's late, I'm afraid Luo Mingfang can't stand it." Feng Guozhang asked.

"Wait a minute," Zhou Charter shook his head: "Waiting for the news of Han Lingzhun." Han Lingzhun led a company of the 401 regiment, disguised as North Koreans, and had already crossed the river into the city earlier.

"But..."

"Nothing!" Zhou Charter rudely interrupted Feng Guozhang: "This operation is related to the life and death of Zhang Jun. I must be confident enough to cross the river, otherwise, we will have no way out!"

"Yes, big brother!" Feng Guozhang bowed his head and said.

This operation is really too risky. Until now, they still don't know the strength and deployment of the Japanese army in Anzhou.

A row of lights suddenly appeared in the wilderness on the other side of the Daning River.

That's the Japanese horse lamp.

Zhou Charter waved his hand, and the direct camp behind him quietly hid into the rocks by the river.

There was a burst of despair in Feng Guozhang's heart, and the Japanese army appeared on the other side of the Daning River, which means that it can no longer be achieved if he wants to deal with Anzhou City unexpectedly.

Anzhou City is heavily guarded. If you can't carry out a raid, you can only attack.

With the existing troops and equipment, it is difficult to win the frontal confrontation with the Japanese army, let alone attack the fortress!

There is a faint fire in the northwest sky.

Feng Guozhang knew that it was the fire of war on the peak of the fetus. The Japanese army actually launched a night battle against the fetal peak!

It seems that the mixed brigade can't sit still.

With such an offensive as a mixed brigade, it is difficult for Luo Mingfang to persist until dawn.

The troops who raided Anzhou were blocked by the Japanese army by the Daning River, 15 kilometers away from Anzhou.

Feng Guozhang lay beside Zhou Charter and whispered, "Brother, the mixed brigade is likely to split up. I'm more worried about whether the Qiaochuan River can be defended!"

Zhou Charter said coldly, "That's about Wu Peifu!"
