"This is bullying us for not having artillery in our hands!"

Dashan Yan was so angry that his face was bruised, but he was helpless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In his memory, since he met this damn Qing army, it had brought him too much helplessness.

Moreover, he is still helpless!

"Yoshida, although your troops have suffered great losses, they have lost their positions again; And yet—"

Seeing the anger and frustration on the faces of his subordinates, Da Shanyan had no choice but to encourage loudly against his will: "Now the Qing army's Jiangzishan position, their earthen wall has completely collapsed, as long as they want, the imperial soldiers can easily reoccupy them at any time!" ”

"Hey!"

Hearing Dashanyan say this, the glass hearts of the Japanese generals were a little better, looking at the open Jiangzi Mountain Heights in the distance, it seemed that they could easily occupy it again with just one charge.

"Now the Qing army only has four earthen fortifications, the north of Jiangzi Mountain is Yingchengzi, the northwest is Dianzi, the south is Xiangmengou Village, West Huangling;"

The next big temple Yasuchun motioned to the staff officer to open the map, took the branch and began to analyze: "In the next attack, I suggest a feint attack all the way, the main attack all the way, and at the same time quickly recapture Jiangzi Mountain and cut off the connection between the north and south of the Qing army; Then the imperial army attacking Jiang Zishan went around the back of the main attack point to prevent the reinforcements of the Qing army behind. ”

After listening to Oji Yasumi's suggestion, Dashan Yan looked at the map and nodded: "Cut off the middle road, and then cut out one wing, then the remaining wings will be completely useless, and you can only flee in embarrassment." ”

"And after occupying these five high grounds, for the dozen or so small enclosures behind, the imperial army can completely shoot condescendingly, and they can quickly be cleared one by one."

Motoji Yamagi also nodded in approval of this plan.

"Yo Xi, after the camp city, there is a more open flat area, and the mountains in the south are ravine, which is very easy for the imperial soldiers to attack interspersed; Below are Tuchengzi, Erlong Mountain, Jiguan Mountain, Pantao Mountain, Baiyu Mountain, the last barrier of Port Arthur; Armies work hard! ”

Da Shanyan clenched his fists and roared, in fact, he was as bitter as Huang Lian in his heart.

It is said that it is the last step, but this last step is the real turtle shell of Lushunkou, and if you want to really seize it, you don't know that you will have to kill and injure the lives of tens of thousands of imperial soldiers.

And that's still the best outcome.

As for the bad result, Dashan Yan didn't dare to think about it at this time.

"Suspend operations today, and carry out a general offensive tomorrow according to the above plan! The General Staff came up with a concrete plan. ”

Da Shanyan felt distressed and panicked, and decided to let the cook fry two side dishes and drink two glasses of sake, otherwise he would be depressed and collapse.

The moon was dark and the sky was full of stars.

Lin Yunyu's anti-Japanese army, commanding the engineer brigade, and nearly 1,000 people, boiled them in large cauldrons with frozen soil, ice water, and straw behind Jiangzi Mountain, and then quietly transported them to the Jiangzi Mountain Heights by horse-drawn cart to build an earthen fortress overnight.

At this time, the night in southern Liaoning was already ten degrees below zero, and the layers of mud were sandwiched by the door panels, and soon they were slowly frozen.

This time, the anti-Japanese army learned the lesson of breaking the wall before, and built a 1.5-meter-high ice and soil barrier 15 meters behind the nearly two-meter-high wall of the east wall, and opened a small door with thick wooden planks wrapped in iron sheets.

In this way, even if the Japanese army broke through the first earthen rampart, the second earthen rampart dealt them a more fatal blow.

Without the threat of the Japanese grenade bombs, the deployment of the anti-Japanese army would be easier, including the large-scale killing weapons such as the Green Cannon, which has not been placed on the defense line of the camp city.

Nearly 1,000 soldiers of the anti-Japanese army and engineer brigade of Lin Yunyu's department were busy all night, and at about four o'clock in the morning of the next day, the new Jiangzishan defensive earthen fortress was finally completely built.

The mixed structure of ice and straw gives this soil barrier a stronger and more resilient structure in this winter.

At five o'clock in the morning of the same day, the Japanese troops who were preparing to launch a general attack looked at the re-erected earthen wall on Jiangzi Mountain in amazement, and they were depressed and wanted to vomit blood.

It's this trick again, haven't you already used it once in Nanguanling?

"The Japanese army has withdrawn, the Japanese army has withdrawn!"

On December 11 of the Western calendar, Oyama Iwa reported the situation of the Second Army to Lieutenant General Kawakami Cao, who sent a telegram to inquire.

The Hiroshima base camp immediately sent a telegram back, demanding that Dashanyan suspend all attacks, and at the same time withdraw troops to the line of Nanguanling, control the mouth of the ridge, prevent the Qing army from attacking, and break through the encirclement. 、

Wait for the Qing army to run out of food, and then make a plan.

When the telegram reached the Second Army, the officers were all ashamed, and Nogi Noshinori was so angry that he hacked to death a dozen coolies of the Qing Dynasty before he was slightly discouraged.

As the highest commander in the army, Dashan Yan knew that such a retreat would be very embarrassing, and it was estimated that when he returned to China in the future, everyone's military career would be shamefully stopped.

However, looking at the harshly worded order of the base camp, Dashan Yan knew in his heart that this was the best plan at the moment.

"The armies, now that the weather is freezing and there is no artillery support, when the Qing army in Port Arthur runs out of food, it will naturally collapse; By the beginning of spring next year, a large number of imperial artillery will arrive, and there will be naval support, which will be the end of the Qing army. ”

Dashanyan glanced regretfully at the position of the Qing army not far away, before the order of the base camp came, he listened to the advice of the staff officers, and decided to divide the troops into two routes, all the way to oppress and attack in front of the camp city position, all the way into the south of the Jinlong Temple mountain range, around the back of the camp city to attack.

But even if you can capture Yingchengzi, Tuchengzi below, Erlong Mountain, Jiguan Mountain, Pantao Mountain, and Baiyu Mountain-

What can I do?

"The Japanese army actually fled, is this still the Japanese army coaxed by the cow?"

Standing outside the earthen fortress of the camp city, Chen Shijie gritted his teeth angrily, he crossed the sea thousands of miles and finally came to Lushun, but he didn't even have time to put the gun, and the Japanese army actually fled!

"These high-ranking Japanese soldiers are not stupid! strangle Dalian Bay, and then fully support the First Army to attack Zhili; Look, unless we go to fight them, there will probably be no battle here a year ago. ”

Although there are some regrets, Shen Zhaoao's heart is relaxed, otherwise the more than 20,000 Japanese troops in front of him are blocked in front of him, and it would be false to say that he is not frightened.

"Telegraph to Shanhaiguan for instructions on the next step;"

Although Wu Weiyang said this, according to his judgment, the commander-in-chief would not let them attack the retreating Japanese army.

Then Wu Weiyang looked at Chen Shijie, and said very vaguely and meaningfully: "Next, it's up to you." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the Japanese army retreated to Nanguanling, and then established a defense on the defense line of the original anti-Japanese army and the Gongwei army at the mouth of the ridge.

The rest of the large army retreated to Dalian Bay and repaired as a whole.

However, the anti-Japanese army still maintained the defense line of Yingchengzi and did not take the opportunity to advance forward, but only sent more than 30 squads into Jinlongsi Mountain and set up beacon towers on some of the ravines that must be passed through to guard against the Japanese army from bypassing the mountain range and attacking.

The southern Liaoning front, which had been fighting vigorously for the past few days, suddenly fell silent.

The Qing and Japanese sides held their positions, each did its own thing, and put on a friendly posture that I understand the rules and that everyone's well water does not interfere with the river water.
