Chapter 176 Sanqijun

Shenwei Guangchen walked hard on the wide beach with one foot and one foot. Next to him, a 12cm cannon sank into the mud, and dozens of soldiers dragged the giant cannon with sweat.

In the battle of Liaodong, Japan is determined to win. In the past, the main gun type of the Japanese army was mountain artillery, while the second army was equipped with 12cm cannons and 15cm mortars, which were specially designed and manufactured by Osaka Arsenal to attack the cities with strong walls on the Liaodong Peninsula. The commander of Dashanyan hopes to use this heavy artillery to destroy the ancient walls made of glutinous rice and bricks on the Liaodong Peninsula in one fell swoop. The construction technology of the wall of this ancient civilization in China can be described as pure. This kind of wall was built hundreds or even a thousand years ago and is harder than granite!

"Mr. Kamio, can we go?"

Shenwei Guangchen looked away from the cannon. In front of him stood three "Qing people" in robes with braids on the back of their heads.

Shenweiguang said with a smile, "It turned out to be 'Misaki'."

These three "Qing people" are the three most powerful assistants of Kamio Mitsuomi, namely Yamazaki lamb Saburo, Hokuzaki Saburo and Fujisaki Hide, because there is a word "qi" in the middle of each person's name, and Kamio Mitsuomi is used to calling them "Misaki Jun".

Misaki Jun are all ace spies who have received special training. They have been in China for two consecutive years, with clear braids and speak pure Chinese. Before the war, under the leadership of Shenwei Guangchen, they dressed up as Qing people and explored the long coastline from Lushun in Liaodong to Weiwei, Shandong, and obtained a lot of information. They collected information about the mouth of the garden.

"Please give an order." Yamazaki lambsaburo bowed his head and said.

Shino Mitsuomi nodded with a smile: "Mr. Yamazaki is always in such a hurry. The spirit is commendable, but those who achieve great things still need to keep calm enough. You should learn more from Mr. Zhongqi about this. Mitsutomi Kamio glanced at Saburozhongqi, whose face was expressionless. This was his usual style, and his expressionlessness was his expression.

Yes! Mr. Kamio Yamazaki lamb Saburō said.

"In this Liaodong operation, our army's ultimate goal is to seize the Lushun Fortress, open the door of the Yellow Sea, and lay a good foundation for the next step to attack Shandong, completely defeat the Beiyang navy, and enter the heart of the Qing Dynasty." Shenwei Guangchen said, "You should act separately, sneak into Jinzhou and Lushun respectively, find out the enemy's defense, and prepare our army to attack the brigade. Note that our army will launch the Battle of Jinzhou at the latest on October 28 and capture Lushun in early November. Your information should be sent to the commander earlier than this time. Do you understand?

"I understand!" Misaki said.

Mr. Fujisaki, do you have any questions? Please speak bluntly." Mitsumi Kamio asked, and he saw that Fujisaki wanted to stop talking.

Fujisaki frowned: "There should be no problem for General Dashanyan's second army to attack Liaodong. The problem is that if you want to capture Shandong and then enter the land of Gyeonggi, I'm afraid there are insufficient troops. You know, Shandong and Jingji are the heart of the Qing Dynasty, and the defense there will never be as empty as Liaodong.

Mitsutomi nodded: "Fujizaki is extremely worried about this, but the base camp has long foreseen that the Third Division of the First Army in North Korea is ready to go in Incheon Port. The target is the Shandong Peninsula. After the Third Division participates in the war, it can make up for the shortage of the Second Army."

Fujisaki shook his head: "I'm worried that Marshal Yamagata will let the Third Division leave North Korea!" He has always hoped to lead the first army from the Yalu River into the Qing Dynasty.

On the beach, the huge body of the 12cm cannon finally got rid of the mud pit and pushed and pulled by the soldiers to the coast.

"Fujizaki, Marshal Yamagata is like this cannon. He is very heavy, but he has to adapt to the situation. You know, the citizens of the Empire of Japan, whether he is a marshal or a civilian, are the subjects of His Majesty the Emperor!" Shenwei Guangchen said coldly.

"I see!" Misaki said.

"Good luck and see you in Lushun!" Shenwei Guangchen raised his hand to salute.

Misaki crossed the beach and walked deep into the coast.

Shino Mitsumi looked at the back of 'Misaki', and suddenly a sense of inexplicable loss surged in his heart.

He remembered Zhou Charter.

The base camp suddenly launched the Liaodong Campaign. The Qing army had no resistance, and the Japanese soldiers attacked the land of the Qing Dynasty without bloodshed. This is the greatest victory achieved by the Japanese army since the start of the war. This is the crystallization of the wisdom of Japanese military strategists. Mitsumi Kamio even thought that this battle would be recorded in the history of human war for future generations to study.

However, for Shenwei Mitsumi himself, it cannot be regarded as a victory.

Because of this battle, he had to stay away from his opponent Zhou Charter.

Shenwei Guangchen firmly believes that this war between the two powerful countries in East Asia is actually just a war between him and Zhou Charter.

Other Qing generals are not worthy of his opponents.

Conversely, other Japanese generals are not worthy to be opponents of Zhou Charter, including the arrogant Marshal Shanxian Youpeng in Pyongyang.

Shenwei Guangchen suddenly realized that friends in Shan County are not the opponent of Zhou Charter! Although he is known as the soul of the army, and although he holds the elite first army in his hand, this first army has been fragmented by the unfolding of the Liaodong Campaign.

Strategically, the decision of the base camp was undoubtedly correct. The Japanese army suddenly shifted the focus of attack from North Korea to Liaodong. The Qing army was caught off guard, and the Japanese army that invaded Liaodong was like no one.

However, this decision has given Zhou Charter a great opportunity!

Zhou Charter, who survives in Yizhou, will never let go of this opportunity!

The real enemies of the Empire of Japan are not the generals of the Qing Dynasty, nor their emperors and empresses, but this Zhou Charter!

The base camp can defeat the Qing Dynasty, but they easily let go of Zhou Charter!

Return the tiger to the mountain!

A coolness surged up on the back of Shenwei Guangchen.

......

Pyongyang, headquarters of the 5th Division.

The commander of the Nozu Daoguan Division received a strict order from Commander Youpeng of Yamagata: the 5th Division immediately set out and marched north to the Yalu River.

At the same time, Nozu Daoguan also knew that the third division belonging to the First Army had boarded the ship in Incheon, targeting the Shandong Peninsula of the Qing Dynasty.

The battle of the Yalu River on the drawings has played a role. It has attracted the main force of the Qing army. Liaodong is qualified and Shandong is empty. At this time, it is meaningless to carry out the battle of the Yalu River. Along the Yalu River to Fengtian, the Qing army reached 80,000, while the Fifth Division and the mixed brigade were only more than 10,000.

If the mixed brigade successfully occupies Yizhou, then the 5th Division may still have the opportunity to break through the Yalu River defense line and set foot on Manchuria, but that's all. If you want to further attack Fengtian, it is almost a fool's dream.

What's more, until now, the mixed brigade has been blocked on the front line of the Taili Peak of the Qiaochuan River, which is still dozens of kilometers away from Yizhou.

The best choice at this time is to order the mixed brigade to retreat to Pyongyang and meet with the 5th Division.

According to the plan of the base camp, now, the task of the Japanese army in North Korea is no longer to attack, but to consolidate the occupation, turn North Korea into a base for Japan's attack on the Qing Dynasty, and then build it into Japan's overseas colonies and even Japanese territory, so as to complete the second transformation of Okinawa.

In fact, the situation in North Korea is not stable. The Li Xi court, which was supported by the Japanese military at gunpoint, did not really cooperate with the Japanese. There were signs that Min Ziying, a shrewd woman, secretly kept in touch with the Russians. Even Prime Minister Kim Hongji, who was supported by the Japanese, seemed to disapprove of the reform plan proposed by the Japanese.

In the folk, resistance movements occur from time to time, and the Dongxuejiao, who announced an understanding with the imperial court, also seemed to be ready to carry out anti-Japanese activities secretly.

Seoul and Pingyang are not peaceful, and the disappearance of Japanese soldiers occurs from time to time.

Just this morning, the gendarmerie publicly executed two North Koreans who killed Japanese soldiers on Pyongyang Street. There were many North Koreans onlookers, and their eyes seemed to be numb, but Nozu Michiguan knew that they were covering up their hatred with numbness.

In North Korea, stability is an overriding task!

The base camp has launched an offensive in Liaodong. In this case, the task of the First Army or Fifth Division should be to firmly control more than 1,000 kilometers from Seoul to Pyongyang and build North Korea into a rear base of the Empire of Japan. In this sense, the Fifth Division is extremely burdened with maintaining stability and is unable to launch an offensive against the Yalu River.

However, the persistence of friends in Shanxian County is almost crazy. Regardless of the training of the base camp and the basic fact that the situation in North Korea is unstable, he brazenly ordered the 5th Division to advance towards the Yalu River. This is an adventure. Yamagata is betting on his own glory with the blood of soldiers of the Japanese Empire!

Nozu was dissatisfied with the arrogance of friends in Shanxian County, but as a subordinate, he did not dare to openly disobey orders and could only adopt a passive and procrastination strategy.

Within five hours after receiving the command, the Fifth Division did nothing.

Yama Prefecture Yupeng finally couldn't stand it anymore. He ordered to remove Nozu Daoguan from his post and personally served as the head of the 5th Division.

The Fifth Division set off, targeting Anzhou.

Youpeng in Shanxian County has been reported that Anzhou was attacked by the Qing army, and the mixed brigade abandoned its plan to capture Yizhou and returned to Anzhou.

The attack on Anzhou is the Zhou Charter of Yizhou General, which has just been sealed by the Qing Dynasty!

Some friends in Shanxian County remembered Niu Xieli's unruly eyes on a low roof.

That guy actually escaped the gunfire and killed Yoshimasa Oshima, an outstanding general of the Japanese Empire!

Youpeng in Shanxian County really wants to meet this Qing soldier again and see what is in the eyes of this Qing soldier!
