The Japanese came over in a mighty way, with nearly 6,000 troops, lined up in five roads, Saigo Takamori sat in the middle, and the other four roads, advancing in parallel, pressed over step by step.Xuan Jianzhang squinted at the enemy, and waited until the Japanese reached within fifty meters, and their bows and arrows could reach the position of the Chinese army, before he released a shot, "Hit me" BangThe Japanese fought with a large number of casualties and frantically rushed towards the positions of the Chinese army, and they knew that they could only die more and more by fighting their weapons head-on, and only by entering into a hand-to-hand encounter could they have the possibility of victory.After a fierce round of blockade, Saigo Takamori saw that he really couldn't attack, and ordered the attack to stop.The active side is Saigo Takamori, Saigo Takamori now has no ambition to eat the Chinese army at all, after fighting a few times and personally experiencing it twice, he knows that the Chinese army in the group is just a bunch of iron lumps, and he doesn't have such good teeth."
Blow the trumpet, remember, bite, but you can't fight them in close combat, they rush back, let's withdraw again" Xuan Jianzhang decisively ordered."
Yes, the division seat, listen to the bite, but you can't meet them in close combat, they rush back, let's withdraw and blow the trumpet of the charge" The chief of staff of the division hurriedly conveyed Xuan Jianzhang's words.This is the Chinese army, although it is not a complicated order, and the number of people under control is not much, but there are only about 500 people, but in the real battlefield, in such a short period of time, it is very difficult for the soldiers to fully understand the commander's intentions.The charging horn of the Didi Dihua army sounded, and the soldiers rushed out of the trenches with shouts of killing."
Rush, kill."
Saigo Takamori watched the Chinese army rush over with a monocular, and the retreating Japanese samurai army fell one after another, "The Chinese are too cunning to kill me back, fight with them" The samurai army was frustrated in its attack just now, and it couldn't enter the trenches of the Chinese army, and its morale was already a little affected, and now it was chased and killed by such a small number of troops of the Chinese army, which affected morale even more.The Chinese army retreated while fighting, and while killing and wounding the Japanese, they retreated back to the trenches.Although the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army suffered an almost devastating blow in the Battle of Omsk, the officer corps still exists, and those who are supplemented later are all excellent veterans of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions.Therefore, the First Field Division of the Chinese Army has always been the trump card unit in the Chinese Army.After these three rounds, when the Chinese army completely retreated to the trenches, the Japanese did not even touch the hair of the Chinese army, and left more than a thousand corpses in front of the Chinese army's position."
Hahaha, happy."
The chief of staff of the division said to Xuan Jianzhang, who was leaning on the position and smoking, while firing.Xuan Jianzhang smiled, "Fight like this, when they come, they will come back to defend their positions, and when they leave, they will catch up and beat the Japanese, and let them see the tactical quality of our Chinese army." ”"Okay, Master."
Before the war began, the chief of staff of the division was worried that these few hundred people were no match for the Japanese army of several thousand, but now it seems that as long as they resist head-on, no matter how many Japanese come, there is no need to be afraid.President 1878 rifles, plus grenades and mortars, even if they hold positions on the open land of the plains, it is more than enough, who let the Japanese have no heavy firearms Modern warfare, in the end, weapons are supreme, the Chinese army does not have the strong strength to catch the Japanese one by one, but the Chinese army is playing with the Japanese in the front, more than enough.After four consecutive rendezvous blows back and forth, the Japanese were stared at by the Chinese army and died in front of the position.Saigo Takamori is a general who can fight well, not because he has no military talent, but he just doesn't adapt to the rhythm of modern warfare.The two sides faced off for a day."
Wait a minute, fight them head-on."
Xuan Jianzhang said to the chief of staff of the division."
I didn't expect that the Japanese were also very good at learning, and they actually knew how to dig trenches opposite us, hehe."
The chief of staff of the division said with a smile, "However, in addition to white-knuckle warfare, they have many advantages, and they will inevitably die in a head-on confrontation, we have mortars, aimed at fighting, enough for them to eat, division, don't fight with them" "It's not desperate, I'm afraid that after a long time, the Japanese reinforcements in the Satsuma River will come, if the enemy is attacked on both sides, it will be difficult to do, we have been fighting for so long, someone must have sent the news back." ”Xuan Jianzhang explained.The chief of staff of the division nodded, "Okay, then when will you attack" Xuan Jianzhang looked at his pocket watch, "It's six o'clock 16 now, launch the offensive on time at half past six, rush a little harder, let's rush directly into Yucheng, remember, don't chase their people."
lest they be entangled with them, and it will become a white-knuckle battle. ”"Yes, I see, Master."
The chief of staff of the division agreed, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements."
General, the Chinese army is just messing with us here, is there any trick they have and reinforcements are coming," a lieutenant general asked Saigo Takamori.Saigo Takamori shook his head with a sad face and said: "How do I know, but, don't worry, the battle has been fought for so long, I believe that Satsuma Kawanai should have received the news, our reinforcements will arrive soon, and when the time comes, they will be able to fight the Chinese army on both sides, and they will be hundreds of people, I don't believe they can fight ten at a time." ”"Hmm."
The generals around him nodded one after another, agreeing with Saigo Takamori's judgment that sticking to it would be beneficial to the samurai army and unfavorable to the Chinese army.At half past six, the Chinese army's charge horn sounded on time.The soldiers of the Didi Didi Chinese Army collectively rushed out of the trenches and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese positions.The Chinese army dug trenches, that was because the Chinese army had President's 1878 rifles, grenades, mortars and other weapons to help defend, while the Japanese dug trenches, at most to dodge bullets, and could not pose any threat to the Chinese army.Bang bang"Forget it, retreat to both sides," Saigo Takamori ordered loudly."
Yes, General."
Saigo Takamori's generals agreed.Saigo Takamori thought so, if the Chinese army wanted to pursue separately, they would circle with the Chinese army in the mountains, and when the time came, they would find an opportunity to meet the Chinese army in a short battle.The main thing is that it is impossible to judge whether the Chinese army is coming to reinforcements, Saigo Takamori is so decisive, if he knew that Xuan Jianzhang was also looking for him to fight quickly in order to buy time, he would not arrange it like this.The Chinese army rushed violently, took the Japanese position, and when the Japanese retreated by different routes, they killed and wounded a group of samurai troops, and the Chinese army killed two or three thousand Japanese in one day and one night without any losses."
No need to pursue, clean up the battlefield immediately, assemble the troops, quickly set off to Renji, take advantage of the emptiness of Renji's troops, and take Renji."
Xuan Jianzhang ordered.The guards around him hurriedly conveyed Xuan Jianzhang's order.Five minutes later, the troops were assembled, mainly because the Japanese did not have much to search for, so they were assembled so quickly.The Chinese army took a batch of baggage and quickly set off to Renji.The battle to take Renji was very smooth, and Saigo Takamori's troops were already insufficient, so he came with a large group of men and horses, leaving only more than 100 people in Renji, where was the opponent of the Chinese army with fierce firepower, and the Chinese army broke the city.What Xuan Jianzhang didn't expect was that this time he picked up a big gift package, Renji is not a small town, it is the largest town on the periphery of Satsuma, and a large amount of grain and grass is actually stored here, all of which are used by Saigo Takamori to prepare for the war against the Chinese army."
Hehe, it's okay now, don't talk about a war now, I think, Saigo Takamori and they even have a problem with winter."
Xuan Jianzhang looked at the two large warehouses full of grain, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy, "Hurry up and send a telegram to Nagasaki City, and let Lord Li Hongzhang tell Your Majesty." ”"Yes, Master."
The chief of staff of the division beside Xuan Jianzhang was also overjoyed, "I didn't expect that the Japanese would be so unbeaten, should we guard this person's auspiciousness, let them send us some more food, and it would be good for us to fight again." ”"If you get such an important town, you naturally have to defend it, so that the area north of Renji will be owned by our Chinese army, let's wait until the newly established garrison group comes over, and then return to Nagasaki City, Renji must have a garrison regiment.""
Okay, I'll send a telegram to the Kyushu Island Garrison Command to make it clear."
The chief of staff of the division went down leisurely.At this time, Huahuang's special train had arrived in Beijing.Headed by Xuan Zonglu, Xuan Hongtao, Xuan Hongbo, Xuan Hongyu, the elders of the Xuan family, plus the leaders of various units in Beijing, the leaders of the central government of China, and the people in the capital and the surrounding areas of the capital got the news and rushed to greet the emperor, there were more than 100,000 people.President Meng smiled and shook his head, "There are too many people, didn't I tell them, don't I like this kind of pomp and circumstance, formalism is meaningless." ”"It's different, this is not entirely formalism, the emperor's return to Beijing is a major event in China."
Princess Katrina Kaaf smiled and persuaded.President Meng smiled: "The key is that I have to leave in a few days, every time, I go, I have to send it once, I have to send it once when I come back, the trouble is not this time, and I will not take it as an example." ”"Yes, I'll talk to Zhao Qingluo."
Princess Katrina Kafu smiled, "I guess it must have been organized by Zhao Qingluo."
Before I returned to Beijing, I only told her. ”It was really not organized by Zhao Qingluo, Zhao Qingluo asked Xuan Zonglu what he meant, and Xuan Zonglu said that he wanted to greet Emperor Hua like this, as for the common people, many of them came over spontaneously, and they were just going to be greeted by officials in Beijing.t1706231537:
