Chapter 197 Hu Chuyuan's infighting and outfighting

The training of Huguang Camp is very well-trained and well-equipped. Their only disadvantage is that the formation time is too short, and they have not experienced the test of war.

Hu Chuyuan was not at ease, but he could only gamble to see it.

Since it's a gamble, it should be bigger.

After completing the transfer of Huguang Camp one after another, he began to secretly transfer Liu Jintang's troops to Gushan according to the follow-up plan, secretly hoarded supplies and arms in Gushan Port, and transferred the transfer center to Gushan. Together with Liu Jintang, he planned to land in Longyanpu and cut off the retreat of the Japanese Second Sendai Division.

With this year's preparation, he has secretly hoarded a sufficient amount of new equipment, especially Jiangnan rifles, which have produced more than 60,000 in the United States, Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration and Fuzhou Ship Administration Factory.

These rifles began to be extensively replaced by Liu Ming's department in mid-June, followed by Hu Guangying and Ye Boqi's department, which is now Liu Jintang's department.

In terms of Japan, the 2nd Sendai Division and the 6th Kumamoto Division are the most elite main forces, and they are also the pioneers of the planned invasion of China. The two divisions are besieged in Yizhou and ready to cross the Yalu River at any time. It is the general of the army who is responsible for commanding them - a ardent hope to change the Japanese version and make the Japanese version become Soldiers of the world's powerful countries.

Dashanyan is a smart person. From the beginning, he believed that only by stepping on the bones of the "china people" could he reach the peak of the world and conspire with the strong.

So, both the Lushun Massacre and many subsequent cruel tragedies were born in the hands of this person.

It was under his auspices that the Sixth Kumamoto Division became particularly bloody, which eventually led to the Nanjing Massacre.

This is the idea of Dashanyan - slaughtering Zhi like the Manchu people will definitely scare the Chinese people, because the Chinese people are a cowardly and afraid of death. It is because the Chinese people are cowardly and afraid of death that they will fail forever.

This sentence is so famous that it can almost be engraved on the tombstone of Dashanyan. Now, Hu Chuyuan has sorted these words into Chinese characters as the first complete sentence in Huguangying's literacy textbook.

The sitting statue of Dashanyan is also the only photo that appears in the whole textbook.

In the government of the North Sea Combined Fleet, on every warship, this sentence will be clearly displayed in the most conspicuous position.

The decisive battle is about to begin.

The war that determines the fate of Hu Chuyuan and the war that determines the fate of the two countries is coming.

The troops in Liu Jintang have secretly gone to Gushan by ship. Before Wang Debang led the six Xiang army battalions in the south of the Yangtze River to Dalian, and before more than 60 ships of the ship bureau arrived at Dalian Port...

That night, Hu Chuyuan wrote a "On the War of China" to write the reasons for the outbreak of the war, the goals of China, and the bottom line of China one by one. He expounded the problems that China will inevitably face in the process of development, talked about the current situation, and talked about the possible situations in the future. It also explains in detail the reasons why China must adhere to a long-term war.

China can win quickly. As long as it locks the control of the sea, I will fight at all.

China can also choose peace talks... But it doesn't make sense. For the future of China and the future of children, they must fight a real battle in their generation, and all the elites cultivated in the past ten years will be exhausted.

If there will be a war in the future, it may be the hatred and continuation of this war. At that time, it is not enough to care at all. Without the elite of the upper middle class, even with good equipment assisted by others, it is impossible to win the war.

The fundamental reason why the German army is terrible is not the equipment of the German army, but the elite commanders in the middle and upper class.

It is originally a lock, which constitutes the first chain to lock China's development to the sea. Before China surpass the British, the United States, the United States and other powers, no one will let China completely control the chain. Therefore, Hu Chuyuan's best choice is to disable it once and let it lose the role of the chain.

This is also the reason why Hu Chuyuan deliberately let the navy shrink. He should skillfully use the struggle between the two forces within the Japanese and the gambling psychology of the Japanese to force the army to the front line, so that he can also hit the elite of the army once.

Even if the Qing army has to pay several times the price for this.

Hu Chuyuan is also a master of infighting. He really needs to use himself to destroy his enemies and potential enemies. Through the Japanese army to fight against him in the Huai army and the Xiang army, attack Li Hongzhang, and take the opportunity to support his own strength. Isn't this the best infighting?

It is said that I am still very proficient in Chinese people's political infighting. Probably, they also dare to take advantage of this problem to gamble.

Hu Chuyuan published this article "On the Battle of China" in the Weekly, which deliberately downplayed the advantages of the navy, and reprinted it in the "Guardian", "Declaration" and "Jiangnan Daily", so that all the newspapers that published the articles were sold at zero price, increasing the printing volume to the maximum, fully distributed, and distributed within the army.

He will use this article to completely ignite China's ambition and defeat Japan at all costs for a better China.

"On the Battle of the Middle of the War" was published on October 3, 1890. The Jiangnan Newspaper alone published 600,000 copies, and the Guardian published 110,000 copies.

Almost in just a few days, the national resistance began to rise, and the squires from all over the country came to the government to petition one after another, demanding to kill the Japanese to vent the hatred of the country. Everyone donated money and goods, and enthusiastically supported the long-term battle between the court and the Japanese.

In such a situation, Japan decided to severely attack the arrogance of the Chinese people, make their worries come true, let them learn to be afraid like three hundred years ago, and learn to adapt to their own rule, just as the Mongols and Manchus did.

At 3:00 a.m. on October 24, the 6th Kumamoto Division served as a heavy commandment and forcibly crossed the Yalu River by building an pontoon bridge. The 13th, 14th and 23rd Infantry Regiments divided their troops forward and rushed to the defensive fortress of the town of the ninth company.

The person sitting here is Liu Mingchuan. He is not Song Qing, let alone Ye Zhichao.

Starting from 3:15, two artillery battalions between Jiuliancheng and Zhendongshan began to counterattack. This is an artillery battalion funded by Hu Chuyuan, a complete battalion, waiting for the same artillery regiment, with 54 155mm new howitzers with heavy firepower, with a staffing of 3 larger than the ordinary battalion. 0%.

Such an integrated artillery battalion was only one in the Xianghuai armies of the whole Qing army. Before that, Song Qing also lost two artillery. In order not to get the artillery, all the artillery was forced to be blown up.

The artillery columns and artillery companies under the jurisdiction of other battalions mainly use 75mm and 122mm mountain guns, which are much smaller in scale, but they also launch at the ferry of Japan to prevent the success of Japan.

said that I am relatively rich now, and I have also seized a large number of firearms and materials from Song Qing and Ye Zhichao. I used the New Kingdom of Korea to organize the so-called North Korea Reading Division to charge together.

Liu Ming's biography is not stupid. The so-called half-way attack is an old saying. He waited until most of his opponent's troops began to cross the river before issuing a full-scale shelling order.

Similarly, the Japanese artillery brigade has already launched an attack. Due to the retreat of the Huai Army's artillery battalion, it also has a ridge fort with greater firepower. The Japanese artillery brigade cannot directly attack the Huai Army's artillery battalion.

In the continuous entanglement between the two sides in the explosion, Dashanyan has personally suppressed the formation and forced all the troops to rush up, trying to cross the Yalu River before dawn and capture Jiulian City.

I said that I was very well prepared. When it was getting dark, the 2nd Sendai Division also began to cross Zhen'an Town and disperse the artillery deployment of the Qing army. On the other side, the 6th Division has pressed through the front line and began to attack the defensive fortress of Jiulian Town.

Because the nearby residents have long been dispersed, the two sides fought a life-and-death battle in this area.

The troops guarding the town of Jiulian are the three battalions of the Yi army led by Nie Shicheng. As the most trusted direct line of Liu Mingchuan, Nie Shicheng and Yi's army dare to fight more than anyone else. Nie Shicheng personally guarded at the beach mouth of Jiulian town, and resolutely refused to let me cross the Jiulian city defense of the ring river stone wall and two cottages. Royal line.

The time for them to equip Jiangnan rifles is the earliest. With this reliable, concise and easy-to-use rifle, the Yi army has not weak enough to equip the Lebel rifle in rifle firepower.

The Japanese army relied on the cover of artillery fire to carry out a strong charge, but on the contrary, it was madly counterattacked by the Yi army.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army rushed three times and left more than 3,000 corpses outside the Great Wall of Jiulian City. The third battalion of the Yi Army stationed in Jiulian City was also seriously injured. Not many people died, and many were injured.

In Zhen'an Town, Zuo Baogui, who was responsible for guarding Zhen'an's defense line, and his Fengjun also withstood the first round of attack, because it was not the main attack point, and the damage was smaller.

The battle on the first day seems to have come to an end.

Sitting in the building town, Liu Mingchuan, who guarded Wulongkou, did not breathe a sigh of relief and did not feel nervous. After a hundred battles, he had long been used to such an atmosphere.

He has his own habits and ways. Although he doesn't expect Hu Chuyuan to understand, he believes that he only needs Hu Chuyuan's money and materials, and the rest... nothing.

Because he is Liu Ming.

He appreciates Liu Jintang, the first general of Xiangjun at present. They are all from the old Liu family and can be collectively known as Xianghuai Er Liu. This is also a kind of fate, but he does not need Liu Jintang's help.

Because he is Liu Ming.

The temporary government office of the governor of the three eastern provinces and the minister of the full-time imperial delegation is located in Wulongkou. Originally, it was a temple, where he lived to command the whole situation. With the help of Hu Chuyuan, he installed a complete set of telegraph and telephones, as well as new things such as pocket sand tables.

Even if there was no sand table, Hu Chuyuan also provided him with a set of very detailed foreign maps to command the war, which was really helpful.

It's very good. With the help of these foreign things, this battle is much easier.

Liu Mingchuan is a real man. Of course, he understands what kind of war he can't fight, what kind of war can be fought, and how to fight if he can.

After seeing Ye Zhichao's defeat, he quickly adjusted his thinking and camped in Tangshan City, Wulongbei, Bianmen and other towns, as well as the whole Fengcheng County and Donggang County, half hoarding and half practicing, ready to fight a long-term battle.

Along the shore, he built a bunker and a wide low wall, specifically aiming at his tried his tried method of shelling first and then attacking. He built a large-caliber fort at the top of the mountain and made a plan to defend Dandong.

The people he called, except for Song Qing, are all his old direct lineage. They are all good generals who are not afraid of death, superfluous waste... He doesn't want any of them.

In Fengcheng County and Donggang County, Yingkou County, Anshan County and Kuandian County, he has organized at least 40,000 regiments to supervise the training of new soldiers.

He has figured out how much he has lost in the front and how much he has replenished from behind. He has enough artillery, enough supplies, enough guns and ammunition, and enough people. How can he fight?

To use the way of war, you must first stand in the invincible.

In terms of strategy, he doesn't think how powerful those on the opposite side are. It's just a move, that is, cannons go first, and then use infantry after indiscriminate bombing.

Good.

When he arrived in Dandong, he and Hu Chuyuan transferred 60 240mm-275mm heavy guns and built eight forts. There were two on the fort ridge, two in Wulongkou, three in Lianchengkou, and one in Yuanbaoshan.

These are artillery units specially used to deal with the enemy. It is said that where the artillery was set up, he bombed it with a fort.

Even so, Liu Mingchuan did not dare to be careless.

careless.

He paid too much for this word. In that year, he accidentally caused his Mingjun mule. After ten years of cold treatment, he had to resign and return to his hometown... He paid too much.

In old age, there is still such a chance.

Li Hongzhang refused and did not want to use him, but Hu Chuyuan, who controlled the Fujian and Zhejiang faction, proposed that the court should use him. It's really interesting.
