Chapter 175 Garden Mouth
Feng Guozhang gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fuck, the second company, rush with me, and everyone will die together!"
A whole company of more than 200 people followed Feng Guozhang and rushed into the open land. In the rain of bullets, people turned their horses upside down.
Zhou Charter took the gun and turned around and shouted, "Where is the fourth company?" There are four companies directly under the division. The first, second and third companies attacked the North Battery with Feng Guozhang, and the fourth company is still in action as a reserve team.
Guo Erbar, the commander of the fourth company, straightened his chest and said, "Guo Erbar is here!"
Guo Erpa is not tall and seems to be thin, but he has muscles, black all over, and has blue veins on his face. This boy has once practiced martial arts and knows some foreign kung fu, and is quite strong. This man was originally a man of Fengtian. He worked in agriculture for a living and has a hot temper. He once punched the other party's head in the corner of Fengtian Street and came out Human life. Guo Er pole was so scared that he ran to the Yalu River. He happened to meet Wei Rugui's Sheng army to fight in the court. Guo Er pole ran to Sheng Jun and asked to eat food and become a soldier.
The morale of Shengjun entered North Korea, and its morale was extremely declining. Everyone was unwilling to go to North Korea, and many people deserted along the Yalu River. Now, someone has taken the initiative to ask to join the army. Of course, Wei Rugui welcomes him, and no matter what Guo Erpole comes from, he will be recruited immediately.
Guo Er pole is a new recruit. He doesn't have the inferiority of those veterans of Shengjun, but he is full of energy and desperate to fight. Therefore, when the direct camp was established, Zhou Charter promoted him to a company commander with more than 180 people.
This guy has a bad temper and often hits people. His fists and feet are heavy. He can't stand it as a soldier and runs three times. From Chenghuan to Yizhou, Zhang Jun has never deserted. To put it bluntly, it is Zhou Charter's unit. In Guo Erpa's company, there are only three, which is too fucking humiliating. Feng Guozhang was furious and grabbed Guo Erba and asked him to engage in military law.
When the execution was about to be executed, Zhou Charter came and bailed Guo Erba. The crime of beheading turned into 40 military sticks and asked him to make meritorious service. However, Zhou Charter asked Guo Er pole to guarantee that he would not beat and scold soldiers in the future.
Guo Erbar swore to heaven in front of the whole company that if he beat and scolded the soldiers again, he would know himself without the division commander!
Guo Erbar did what he said and never beat the soldiers again. If anyone provokes him, he will call the man in front of him and split a small tree with a thick bowl in front of the man!
This move is more useful than beating people, and no one dares to provoke him anymore.
Guo Erchang faced Zhou Charter and saluted: "Master, it's time for the second shot! The division commander was assured that the second pole was hit in a row, and the second pole died with his brothers. He was definitely not as cowardly as the battalion commander. He ran back and cried.
Guo Erpole said, regardless of Zhou Charter, and waved back: "Brothers, come with me!" More than 180 people in four companies followed Guo Erwan and were about to rush to the open ground.
Zhou Charter shouted: "Guo Er pole! Where the fuck are you going? Stop it!"
Guo Ershu was stunned and hurriedly turned around: "Master, didn't you say that if you hit one company, you will go to another company?"
"Bulls!" Zhou Charter scolded, "Feng Guozhang's troops haven't been finished yet. It's not the time for you to die!"
"Master, what did you ask me to do?" Guo Erbar scratched his forehead.
"Come with me!" Zhou Charter raised the rifle and rushed to the southeast of the North Battery.
It is located on the north side of the south battery, which is a residential area under the south battery, which has long been a sea of fire.
Guo Erbar scratched his forehead: "Master, that's not the direction of attack of our direct battalion..."
Zhou Charter's figure has disappeared into the fiery streets and alleys.
"Follow the teacher!" Guo Erpole howled and followed Zhou Charter into the fire.
......
October 24, 1984, at the entrance of the garden.
The garden mouth is located at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula and on the north coast of the Yellow Sea. It is an unknown small fishing village.
Just two days ago, no one knew the name of Huayuankou, whether in the Qing Dynasty or Japan.
However, from 3:30 a.m. on October 24, 1894, the name will be recorded in history.
Because at that moment, 51 Japanese Marines landed on the beach at the mouth of the garden, opening the prelude to the landing at the mouth of the garden.
This is the first Japanese army in history to land in mainland China. That was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's lifelong dream, and hundreds of years later, his descendants finally realized it.
The coast was unusually quiet, and there was no expected resistance on the 1,500-meter-wide beach.
This 1,500-meter beach was once the focus of debate between the Japanese navy and the army.
The silt bandwidth of 1500 meters at the low tide on the coast of Huayuankou. If the Qing army sets up a heavy defense here, the Japanese army will be trapped in the mud. Therefore, the army, led by Dashanyan, the commander of the Second Army, firmly opposed the landing at the mouth of the garden. The landing site they chose was Ziwo in Dalian Bay.
However, the navy has opposition to Piziwo on the grounds that the sea area is too close to Lushun Port, the Beiyang Marine Division's base in Liaodong, and the sea is vast, which is not conducive to the concealment of the fleet. If the Beiyang Marine Division launches an attack when the Japanese army makes the landing, the landing fleet will face great danger.
Although the Japanese Combined Fleet defeated the Beiyang Marine Division in Dadonggou, it still had a lingering heart. That victory was actually a tragic victory. Although none of the warships of the joint fleet were sunk, the five main battleships, including the Matsushima, lost their combat capability, and the dock workers worked hard to repair them day and night to restore these battered warships their cruise ability, and their combat effectiveness has not yet. Recovery.
What shocked the joint fleet was that in the later stage of the naval battle, the Japanese ships concentrated all their artillery fire to attack the two iron-clad giants of the Beiyang Marine Division, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan. The two giant ships were fired dozens of bullets, but they still stood still. Instead, they used the huge guns they were equipped to injuring several Japanese ships. In the end, the joint fleet could only watch Dingyuan and Zhenyuan go long and have no choice.
Zhenyuan and Dingyuan are the lingering shadows in the hearts of Japanese people.
The debate between the navy and army about the landing site is so long that even the base camp is difficult to decide. Finally, the army made a concession and agreed to land at the entrance of the garden.
However, during the whole landing, the Japanese army suffered neither resistance from land nor attack from sea.
On land, the main forces of the Qing army are all gathered on the front line of the Yalu River. From the Huayuankou to the Jinzhou front line, the Qing army has only 3,000 people, and most of them are gathered in Jinzhou, which is dozens of kilometers away from the garden mouth. Four days after the Japanese army landed at the entrance of the garden, they encountered 300 Qing troops near the nest, and the Qing army retreated without fighting.
And at sea, beyond the expectation of the joint fleet, several warships such as Beiyang Marine Division Dingyuan and Zhenyuan haunted in the direction of Shandong Gaojiao, and had no intention of approaching the garden entrance at all.
Everything went surprisingly well.
The battle of Liaodong began in silence.
