Chapter 168 Dead Knot
According to the instruction of the base camp, under the cover of the joint fleet, the Second Army will take Incheon and Datong River Yuyin Cave as anchorage, detouring the Liaodong Peninsula, and raid the Liaodong Peninsula while the main force of the Qing army is unable to gather the Yalu River.
The landing location is the garden entrance!
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the landing battle at Huayuankou, the base camp strictly ordered the First Army to stop the Yalu River combat plan, and the third division it belonged to was the combat reserve of the Liaodong Peninsula to be on standby at any time to attack Liaodong.
Losing a whole division, the battle of Yalu River with friends in Shanxian County was completely bankrupt!
Dashanyan, a minister of the army, turned into a commander of the Second Army!
Dashanyan is here to grab the work!
Now, friends in Shanxian County have realized that he has been fooled by Dashanyan!
Dashanyan hid in Tokyo and let Shanxian Youpeng stay in North Korea, clearing the way for him to attack the mainland of the Qing Dynasty. At the last moment when he was about to set foot on China, Dashanyan appeared and robbed the glory that originally belonged to Shanxian Youpeng!
The shame of being cheated made friends in Shan County completely out of control!
He overturned the battle sand table that attacked Manchuria and vented his anger on the commanders of the headquarters.
However, in anger, some friends in Shan County issued an order that seriously violated the training order of the base camp!
He ordered the Third Division to gather in Incheon and make a gesture of reinforcements in Liaodong to cope with the base camp. At the same time, he ordered the 5th Division of Yejin Daoguan to ignore the instruction of the base camp and advance towards the Yalu River!
A friend in Junhunshan County has resisted!
As a core member of the Meiji government, Yamagata Aritomo once swore allegiance to the emperor, loyal to this country, to this government, and unreservedly obeyed the orders of the central government.
The army unconditionally obeyed the emperor and the government, which is the lifelong goal of the Meiji scholars. In Japan, this goal has been achieved, the army has been nationalized, and the lords and warriors can no longer control the dispatch power of the army.
Yamagata Youpeng is also a loyal believer of this system. Once upon a time, he handed over his army to the country and took the lead in allegiance to the emperor.
However, today's mountain county has friends who violate the system he believes in, and the warlord habits in his bones have the upper hand.
In constitutional Japan, as a front-line commander, it is a serious incident to violate the order of the base camp.
Nozu Daoguan, the head of the division, implicitly raised objections to Yupeng in Shan County. At the same time, Nozu Daoguan conveyed the order of the base camp to the 5th Division.
As a subordinate, Nozu Michishi can't disobey the commander's orders, but he is the defender of the national system. He can't ignore the destruction of this system by friends in Shan County - this system is bought by countless benevolent people with blood!
What's more, Shanxian Youpeng ordered the Fifth Division to launch the Yalu River Campaign, which itself seriously violated the tactical principle. Some friends in the angry mountain county seem to have forgotten that there are 80,000 Qing troops on the west bank of the Yalu River, which is almost the sum of the northern forces of the Qing Dynasty! Even if the Qing army has no fighting spirit, the 80,000 heads waiting for the Japanese army to cut will lay down the first army.
The 5th Division stationed in Pyongyang expressed its objection to friends in Shan County in a passive standby manner.
However, the furious mountain county friend lost his mind. He had no vision and reminded him that he ignored the Qing army, which had an absolute advantage on the west bank of the Yalu River, dismissed Yejin Daoguan, and issued a strict order to the mixed brigade advancing into Yizhou to take Yizhou within two days!
......
Just when Youpeng in Shanxian County decided to resist the order, Aoki Yuan was leading a mixed brigade to fight fiercely in the peak of the fetus.
The First Wing has captured all the strongholds of the Qing army below Donglin Waterfall, and some Japanese troops have burst into the main position of the Qing army - Donglin Waterfall.
At this time, Aokiyuan received an order from friends in Shan County to take Yizhou within two days, otherwise, he would commit suicide!
At the same time, Aoki received two disturbing news.
The first news is that the second Wing's attack on the Qiaochuan River was blocked.
The second news is that a large number of Qing troops appeared outside Anzhou.
Aokiyuan suddenly fell into a dilemma!
According to the order of friends in Shanxian County, the mixed brigade must immediately cross the Qiaochuan River and advance to Yizhou. Otherwise, he will not be able to complete the task of conquering Yizhou within two days.
However, he is faced with three untie dead knots.
First, the attack of the second regiment responsible for forcibly crossing the Qiaochuan River was blocked. The Qing army deployed more than 4,000 of two regiments in the Qiaochuan River and defended it dangerously, while the second regiment had only 2,000 people and no boat bridge. If you want to quickly conquer the bridge and river defense line, you need the reinforcement of the first team. That is to say, it is necessary to withdraw some of the troops that besieged the tire peak and reinforce the Qiaochuan River.
Second, Anzhou is the base for the Japanese army to advance north and is the rear of the mixed brigade. Once Anzhou is lost, the mixed brigade will fall into an embarrassing situation. At the same time, the follow-up troops of the 5th Division will also be blocked south of Anzhou and cannot reinforce the mixed brigade. The mixed brigade will become a lonely army! In order to ensure Anzhou, Aokiyuan also has to pull out a force from the peak of the tire to go south to Anzhou.
Third, no matter how strong the first team is, it can't divide into three routes, all the way north, all the way south, and all the way to attack the peak of the fetus. In fact, whether it is north or south, the First Wing must give up the tire peak and concentrate on attacking a little. However, the peak in the fetus is almost at your fingertips. At this time, how did Aokiyuan communicate to the officers and soldiers who died in the battle?
The three dead knots are entangled together, and Aokiyuan's brain is in a mess.
He began to regret that he should not have left the first team in the fetus.
The target of the mixed brigade is Yizhou, not the fetal peak!
If it hadn't been for his fever, he temporarily changed his deployment and changed the second Wing from the peak of the tire to the Qiaochuan River. At this time, the elite first Wing would have broken through the Qiaochuan River defense line. He can at least complete the task of taking Yizhou within two days assigned by the commander of Shan County Friends!
Now, Yizhou is out of reach, the Qiaochuan River and Taili Peak have not been able to attack for a long time, and the Qing army has appeared again in Anzhou.
The two ends of the first mouse are a taboo for soldiers! Under the peak of the fetus, the change of defense of the two teams made him in an embarrassing situation where he could not take care of each other at the beginning and end.
"How many Qing troops are there in Anzhou?" Aokiyuan gritted his teeth and asked.
The chief of staff replied: "According to the report of Aso Fujino, the commander of the Anzhou Police, there should be no less than 800 people. They crossed the Daning River, and a small team of our army was broken by the Daning River."
"Are they going to capture Anzhou?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but with the combat level of the Qing army, I'm afraid it is unlikely to capture Anzhou"
"You mean they are harassing?" Hope appeared in front of Aokiyuan's eyes.
"There is such a possibility." The Chief of Staff hesitated: "Actually, we should see that the ultimate combat intention of the Qing army is to delay our attack Yizhou. They set up a fortification in the Qiaochuan River and block it at the peak of the tire. Their real purpose is to contain our army from entering Yizhou in the north. I think the Qing army in Anzhou is probably the same intention.
"It's not possible, it's certain!" Aokiyuan said, "Besiege Wei to save Zhao! They want us to go back to Shi'anzhou! By the order, the first Wing immediately broke away from the contact with the enemy and headed for the Qiaochuan River! Try your best to break through the defense line of the Qiaochuan River and take Yizhou before dusk tomorrow!"
"Bedge commander, do you mean that the two regiments all advance north, regardless of Anzhou?" The chief of staff is a little worried.
"I believe that Aso Fujino can defend Anzhou!" Aokiyuan gritted his teeth and said. At this time, he can only hope for the Anzhou defenders!
"What about the peak in the fetus?"
"Let him go!" Aoki Gen shook his head helplessly.
The strict order of friends in Shan County makes it impossible for Qingmuyuan to take care of Anzhou and Taili Peak.
What's more, there is no reason for Aoki Gen to doubt Fujino Aso. The tall and strong Anzhou wall and the well-equipped and well-trained Anzhou garrison should not let a Qing army succeed!
Aokigen issued a retreat order to the subordinates on the peak of the melee.
However, depressing news came from the peak of the fetus.
The troops that attacked the peak of the tire could not be withdrawn, and they were dragged down by the Qing army's counterattack!
From yesterday to today, after the continuous attacks of the two teams day and night, the defenses of the tire peak were able to launch a counterattack, and the counterattack was resolute and rapid, and the first team was too tired to get out of it.
Aokigen suddenly realized that he had been fooled!
......
10 o'clock, West Gate of Anzhou.
In the wilderness west of the city gate, there are Zhang Jun's corpses.
The heads of each corpse are facing the west gate, and they are on the road of charging. None of them were shot in the back.
Every corpse has no gun in his hand! Their guns were taken away by their companions in the charge.
This is the first time that Zhang Jun launched a siege battle. Before that, the battles experienced by Zhang Jun were all blocking or retreating.
The troops attacking Anzhou have two battalions, with more than 2,000 troops combined, but only half of them have guns.
Zhou Charter ordered to fire bullets to people without guns! With the order of the charge, more than 2,000 people launched a charge at the same time. After the man with a gun fell, the man without a gun immediately grabbed his gun and continued to charge!
This is the standard sea tactic. After the human war enters the era of firearms, it can still fight such a battle! This is to accumulate victory with human life!
However, Zhou Charter has no other choice.
Time is more precious than life!
Zhou Charter knows that Aokiyuan doesn't give him much time!
Luo Mingfang successfully delayed the mixed brigade, but it won't take too long. Aokiyuan's drowsy brain will soon wake up. Once he realizes that the tire peak is just a bait, he will immediately abandon the tire peak and either go north into Yizhou or return to Anzhou. No matter which choice, he will kill Zhang Jun!
The only choice is to attack with all its strength and seize Anzhou in one fell swoop before the Anzhou garrison has figured out the truth of the Zhang army under Anzhou.
Zhou Charter's judgment is correct.
