Chapter 148 Pyongyang, the Japanese cemetery!
On July 7, the First Cavalry Division of the Japanese Army crossed the Yalu River, and China officially sent troops to North Korea!
The two sides quickly fought and were shocked by the other side. According to the memoir of Zu Chengxun, the leader of the First Regiment, "The Japanese mostly use animal skin cocktails as clothes, gold and silver as puppets, and use human faces and horse faces, which is extremely shocking."
It was normal for the first time to see an enemy dressed as a demon and monster, and it was shocked. Many cavalrymen couldn't help but want to turn around and run away. Fortunately, the military cadres tried their best to stop them and told them that there were no ghosts in this world, so if you don't believe it, you will fight me!
Fortunately, the Japanese invaders on the other side were also shocked. Unexpectedly, the Chinese were so big and so tall. Compared with them, they were like elementary school students riding donkeys, and they were the kind of lower grades... How could they not be afraid?
When they saw the Chinese army rushing over, they fled in fear. But because their legs were short, they were still caught up and dozens of them were shot dead.
When cleaning the battlefield, the cavalry found that as military officials said, those who were not monsters at all, were just dwarfs wearing masks, strange-shaped helmets, and fancy armor...
I couldn't help feeling ashamed and angry, so I fought bravely to the forefront, looking for bad luck in the Japanese pirates everywhere to save my face.
The news that the Japanese pirates who were plundering everywhere were attacked by the Ming army soon spread back to Pyongyang City. Governor Konishi discussed with Kiyoshi Kiyoichi Kato and decided to shrink his troops and defend the strong Pyongyang City...at least in their eyes, it was very strong.
So the vanguard's 1st Division and the Independent Regiment, which landed from the Yalu River estuary, advanced to the vicinity of Pyongyang without any obstacles.
Then the First Division and the Independent Regiment monitored the Japanese pirates in the city, and the Second Division walked around the pine forest south of Pyongyang, logged wood and set up a simple wharf...
On July 13, the Third Division advanced eastward after landing in Anzhou, monitoring the three Japanese corpses on Hamkyung Road.
On July 17, the Chinese fleet of shipping flew upstream from the Datong River mouth, moored in Songlin Jiangyou, unloading the Fourth Division, the Fifth Division and the Artillery Division.
On July 20, the main forces of the Japanese army, except for the Third Division, gathered at the city of Pyongyang!
Of course, the Japanese pirates didn't just watch it. On the 14th night, Governor Xiaoxi sent 3,000 elite troops out of Daximen and attacked the Chinese army's camp at night!
This is a miracle trick that the wise generals of the Warring States Period have tried and tested. Coupled with their ghost appearance, they can often cause bombings. Governor Xiaoxi believes that taking advantage of the fact that the Chinese have not yet established a stable foothold, they should be able to achieve miraculous results.
As a result, the more than 3,000 people were discovered by patrolling independent regiment soldiers before they could enter the camp. At this time, the Japanese pirates were no longer scared, and the Qi family's army was incompatible with the Japanese devils. After a series of beatings, the Japanese invaders left more than 200 corpses and fled back to the city.
After that, President Xiaoxi became honest...
But he was not really honest. As a winner of the Warring States Period, Xiao Xisang was experienced in many battles and was well versed in military tactics. He was as cunning as a fox, and was definitely not an easy person. Otherwise, the monkey would not let him be the pioneer.
He has been carefully observing the movements of the Chinese army. Years of war experience told him that the decisive battle was coming and there was not much time left for himself.
Then he summoned all the generals again to make final adjustments to the latest deployment of the enemy.
"It can be asserted that the Ming army will launch an attack tomorrow!" Governor Xiaoxi, who was led by Yue, shook the small folding fan in his hand and tried his best to imitate his idol Zhuge Liang:
"From the movements and garrison of the Ming army, the east side is empty, and there must be a feint attack on the south side, so the main attack direction must be two cities in the northwest! Therefore, the main force of the First Army is stationed in the Seven Star Gate, the Small West Gate and the Big West Gate on the west side!"
President Xiaoxi said and sighed secretly that there is actually a "Little Ximen" in Pyongyang City, and I should be here to prove my enlightenment and become a god!
He arranged a task to station the north for the Second Army. In addition, the city gate to the south was handed over to the 5,000 traitor army... Li Bing's monarch and ministers were too distorted, and many Koreans took the initiative to sign up as puppet troops.
There are about 40,000 troops in total. After the deployment of defense, Governor Xiaoxi has also had a powerful reserve team, which can be said to be quite abundant.
Moreover, as the direct descendant of the Toyotomi family, the First and Second Army were equipped with a large number of "iron cannons", and the soldiers were brave and good at fighting, so they were all good at treating death!
So President Xiaoxi gave another passionate speech:
"Therefore, the method of using troops is to surround them ten times. The Ming army's military strength is not as strong as ours, so we can only attack the city but not besieged the city. This allows us to calmly allocate troops; and they came from afar; they attacked the city; they fought for other countries, and they had long been separated from the battle formation..."
He threw out the 'the enemy army will be defeated ten times' and he came again with 'our army'.
"We are waiting for hard work, have strong morale, have experienced many battles, have the benefits of firearms, relying on high walls and strong cities, we have sufficient food and supplies, we just need to stick to the rescue..."
In short, victory must belong to Japan, and to Taigong!
Finally, the meeting ended with a 'on-board' sound.
The next day, the Japanese army began to attack the city.
Moreover, the attack direction is exactly the same as what Governor Xiaoxi said, it is the north side of the west...
According to the experience of the Warring States Period, as long as you can predict the enemy's initiative, you can be invincible!
If you can always predict the enemy's initiative, you can be called the God of War!
Therefore, the morale of the Japanese army reached its peak, and Commander Xiaoxi was so crazy that he had already put the crown of the military god who defeated the number one in the Celestial Empire on his head.
However, the next scene, "Xiao Xi Zhuge" couldn't understand it.
The Chinese army has been slow to launch a siege, and there are no siege equipment such as ladders, tower cars, siege rams...
He just kept pushing one thick and long iron tube after another to the front of the formation with a wooden cart.
President Xiaoxi is not completely unaware of it, knowing that this is a large firearm similar to the ‘big tube’.
Although this thing has never been available in Japan, there are ones in Busan, Seoul, and Pyongyang Castle. His and Kato Sang's comments on this are quite disturbing and powerful, not as powerful as Otsune.
Oh, by the way, the Ming people call it artillery.
Soon, the artillery division of the First Army of the Japanese Army outside the city, the artillery regiments of each division, and the artillery battalions of each regiment opened fire together!
Please ask Xiao Xisang to taste this powerful, not as powerful as a large tube of thousands of cannons!
The city was shaken by the earth-shaking sound of cannons.
President Xiaoxi and others fell to the ground one after another, their heads buzzing, and they watched countless shells falling down like raindrops.
The Japanese invaders had never fired artillery before and had no idea how to be wary of it. They stood there stupidly and were beaten to death on the spot!
And because they did not have artillery, the artillery division's artillery boldly approached within 300 meters, so that grenades and flowering bullets could be fired...
Although the explosion rate of the grenade is touching, it cannot withstand a large amount! Hundreds and thousands of shells fell, and a small half of them exploded. The explosion sounds immediately formed from the city walls, and powerful explosion shock waves and broken single pieces flew across, blowing Japanese soldiers into pieces...
The skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a s
Even shells that are not exploded can jump around the city like solid bullets. As long as the flesh and blood body is touched, they will either die or be injured...
After several rounds of artillery bombardment, black smoke rolled on the top of the city, fired everywhere, and broken limbs on the ground, and the Japanese invaders were killed and injured. Even the leader Xiaoxi was injured by shrapnel.
Before being helped down and bandaged, Xiao Xisang, who was led to his knowledge of the counterfeit and inferior imitation by Li Chao, shouted angrily: "Fake fake and inferior to others will kill people!"
However, although the Japanese invaders suffered heavy casualties, they did not lose resistance.
To be honest, their ability to withstand death was indeed very high. Under the leadership of the samurai, the Japanese soldiers quickly reorganized under the walls, preparing to wait until the large-scale artillery fire stopped before entering the city.
Although I have never fired a cannon before, these experienced guys have already realized that the shells are not eye-catching! They are the same for the enemy and me.
Therefore, you can hide when bombarding, and it will not be too late to go to the city when the Ming army stops firing artillery.
In a word, there is no way to shells, but people cannot come up.
Their ideas cannot be said to be incorrect. If they encounter the Ming army, this tactic should work.
But now it is not the Ming army that sieges the city! It is the Chinese Japanese army that is enough to crush all the troops of this era!
Of course, it also includes the Ming army.
The Japanese invaders were crushed by the Ming army. When they encountered the Japanese army that could crush the Ming army, there was only one that was not because the Japanese army did not work hard, but there was Gundam on the opposite side!
Yes, Gundam and his brother-in-law have been honorably enlisted in the army and become the loading troops of the First Army Artillery Division...
The Ming army had never thought of human beings to attack the city. Since the city wall blocked the road, it would just be destroyed.
The Pyongyang city walls are very low and thin, not as good as those in the Ming Dynasty.
It is not just to avoid over-the-counter, but North Korea's brick burning technology is extremely poor, which can only continue the tradition of building cities with stones in the Baekje era of Goguryeo, but the cost is too high. Without urgent military demand, you can do it so seriously.
Moreover, as the old capital, Pyongyang is inevitably disrepair...
What’s even more crazy is that the artillery division is also equipped with the latest Chenghua cannons!
This is a front-mounted rifled gun, which fires a steel conical warhead. Its power is three times larger than a smoothbore gun. The disadvantage is that the range is too long and the shell is too powerful, so it is difficult to form vibrators, and the lethality is not as good as the smoothbore spherical bullet...
But it is perfect for siege.
With just one shot, a big hole was opened in the Pyongyang city wall!
After three artillery pieces, the city wall collapsed, crushing the Japanese army hiding under the city wall to death.
Not to mention Xiao Xisang, even Li Ning and others from the Cavalry Division were so brave that they saw it. With such a big gap, where is the war? It’s just a massacre...
‘Swear to be loyal to death and never betray…’ Liaodong generals all recited silently.
They never expected that when they saw someone fight a cannon, they would become loyal people's soldiers.
The gunners also realized that from then on, they would become the protagonists of the war. They became more and more excited, and they took out the highest level. The cannons were shot without any effort. With one blast, they knocked down the city walls on both sides of the northwest for more than a mile long!
The sound of cannon finally stopped, and the ticking charge sounded!
The independent regiment that snatched the vanguard mission rushed up with a thunderous thunder!
The Japanese samurai who was wielding the Japanese sword desperately drove away and tried to block the gap, but was killed by snipers from afar.
How could the Japanese army at the gap stop the Qi family army like a tiger going down the mountain?
Chapter completed!
