However, when he saw the guard company, the reconnaissance company was closely pursued by the Japanese 22nd Wing, and was intercepted by the 3 brigades of the Japanese 7th Wing.

The danger of being surrounded on all sides.

Zhao Dabang's mallet did not hesitate to order that the cavalry regiment could have successfully broken through at this time, and instead of taking the opportunity to leave the battlefield and go south, he turned north to rescue the friendly troops of the guard company and reconnaissance company.

"Baga, annihilate them all, you must kill all these bastards!"

Seeing that on the vast battlefield, the cavalry regiment of the anti-Japanese army was churning left and right, Tsuno Michikan, Oshima Hisano, and the 7th Wing Captain Miyoshi Nariyuki Osa, and the 22nd Wing Captain Tomioka Mizo Nakasa, all of them were so angry that they shouted.

- This is bullying the empire without cavalry in this battle!

"Kill all these dogs!"

Amid the angry roars of Japanese officers at all levels, the 22nd Wing, the 7th Wing, and nearly 10,000 infantry of the Japanese Army swarmed towards the cavalry regiment, guard company, and reconnaissance company with a total strength of less than 500 people at this time.

In the southwest of Langfang City, in the area of Daluzhuang, the cavalry regiment skillfully and openly penetrated through the gap between the infantry of the 7th Wing of the Japanese Army, and rushed to the front of the guard company and reconnaissance company that were desperately running south.

"The cavalry regiment is benevolent!"

"Brothers, you are righteous enough!"

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the half-dead guard company and the reconnaissance company, who were tired of running, shouted one after another.

"Haha, brothers, get on the horse!"

Under the roar of Zhao's mallet, the remaining remnants of the guard company and the reconnaissance company jumped on their horses, two people and a cavalry, or jumped on the empty horses that automatically followed, and accelerated their escape.

Then he made a few big bends in the south of Langfang City, and drove away under the powerless pursuit and cursing of tens of thousands of Japanese infantry.

At this time, the infantry reinforcements of the Japanese 3rd Division had just arrived in the southern theater of operations.

"Commander, although the anti-Japanese army has fled, and this will be a turning point for them from prosperity to decline, they will no longer have a glorious record of invincibility!"

When it comes to 'invincible', Ogawa's mouth is bitter again.

Although the Imperial soldiers inflicted great casualties on the anti-Japanese soldiers during the volley, they were eventually allowed to escape.

Especially the soul of the anti-Japanese army, He Changying!

Youpeng in Shan County is now on the verge of exploding, and he wants to find a familiar figure to kick.

Only then did I remember that my nephew Yoshiro Inoue was driven to the artillery position by himself to shoot the 'heroic posture' of the artillery, but as a result, no one was alive or dead, and no corpse was seen.

"The Qing-Japanese War is over!"

Youpeng of Shan County was suddenly full of exhaustion, and ordered Xiaochuan again: "Order the troops to stay here, no need to return to Yanjing, and be on guard to prevent the Qing army from raiding; Hurry up and go to Tongzhou to inform the country of the situation of the war, urging the contract to be signed as soon as possible, the troops have been away from home for too long ——,. ”

Speaking of which, Youpeng in Shan County can't help but miss his woman and his daughter who has returned to China.

At this time, on the entire Langfang position, all the Japanese troops began to relax involuntarily, because they all vaguely felt that this would be the last battle between the Qing troops.

The war is over.

Now, in the near future, everyone will return to the East in the spring breeze and cherry blossoms.

On the morning of March 14 in the Western calendar, the anti-Japanese army suddenly broke through, and after paying a huge price, the main force finally jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese army and went all the way south.

In its battle, Langfang City, the families of officials, and the officials in the city fell behind in large numbers, and they were all captured and killed by the Japanese army.

More than 100 people were missing, including Wan Zhibin, who smashed Wang Wenjin with the butt of a gun.

More than 1,300 people were killed in the anti-Japanese army, more than 600 of the 2,000 Qing troops who newly entered Langfang City were killed, and nearly half of the remaining 1,400 Qing troops were extremely disappointed against the Japanese army.

The Battle of Langfang was the first major defeat of the Anti-Japanese Army since its formation.

Not counting friendly forces, the number of killed in battle reached 1,600.

The commander of the reconnaissance company, Captain Xu Weijie, a Chinese from Nanyang, Major Zhou Weilin, a battalion-level officer of the regiment, Major Sun Weicheng, a battalion-level officer of the 1st Infantry Regiment, Major Zhao Siqian, and Lieutenant Hao Yifan, a company-level officer, ,——died bravely.

Although the guns of the three artillery wings of the Japanese First Army were blown up, the total number of Japanese soldiers killed (including the Qing troops killed in the prisoner camp) was close to 1,500.

The battle losses of the soldiers on both sides of the Qing Dynasty were basically the same, but it could not change the fact that the anti-Japanese army broke through the siege and abandoned the city and fled.

However, after that-

The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly!

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the anti-Japanese army, Wang Wenjin, Hou Bolin, and Wan Benhua retreated to Maquan Village, forty miles south of Langfang City, for a temporary rest.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the anti-Japanese army set off without saying a word, and partly fought with Wan Benhua.

After this battle, the military headquarters of the Shanhaiguan Legion, the 1st Regiment, Luo Huafei Whistle, and an infantry company of the Jinmen Brigade that originally entered Langfang City to transport supplies.

Nearly 4,000 troops, only 2,300 remain.

plus the 739 Qing prisoners who chose to follow the anti-Japanese army.

With a total of 3,000 troops, the whole army marched to the northeast.

Wang Wenjin got the news, and after his face changed several times, he finally didn't say a word.

He was afraid that if he stopped it again, what the anti-Japanese army gave him would no longer be a 'yin' with the butt of a gun, and it would probably be a fatal bullet fired from someone I don't know.

Besides, as long as the anti-Japanese army can honestly stay away from Yanjing after the defeat, the imperial court will only gladly acquiesce.

- Before that, I was afraid that they would also transfer the team from Jinmen to the outskirts of Yanjing, so once the peace talks were successful and the Japanese retreated, there might be something wrong.

It can be said that the Japanese soldiers entered Langfang to relieve the worries of the Qing royal family.

Is there something greasy in this?

Wang Wenjin just thought about it, but his back was cold, and he felt that his broken head hurt even more, so he quickly stopped and didn't dare to think about it further.

On the night of the same day, the anti-Japanese army withdrew from Langfang to join the 2nd Regiment of the Jinmen Brigade at the Longfeng River, while the headquarters of the Jinmen Brigade and the 3rd Regiment pursued them on the rear road together with artillery.

In the early morning of the 15th, Hirobumi Ito received a telegram from Tongshu in Hiroshima.

Although it was a bit regrettable, the defeat of the First Army and the removal of the anti-Japanese army entrenched south of Yanjing was equivalent to avoiding a possible civil war that the Qing court would face, and the Qing court was able to pay war reparations to the East.

In the morning, the Emperor and the Cabinet reached a consensus on Hirobumi Ito's initiative to propose an armistice.

On the same day, Ito Hirobumi took a small steamer and hurried back to Maguan to quell the anger of Western countries against the assassination of Li Hongzhang and the attack on Langfang by the First Army.

Nearly that night, Hirobumi Ito and Mutsu Munemitsu went to the temple to 'pay a visit' to Li Hongzhang, and at the same time brought the news that His Majesty the Emperor had decided to take the initiative to armistice on his own.

However, Li Hongzhang's face did not have much happiness, but Li Jingfang forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Prime Minister, since your country has decided to take the initiative to cease fighting, why do you still attack Langfang?"

Li Jingfang couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Since our Qing court has decided to negotiate peace, why do we have to die so many lives in vain? ”

As soon as Li Jingfang's words came out, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped.

"Yaga!"

Mutsu Zongguang's smiling face suddenly retracted, and he angrily rebuked Li Jingfang and said: "At this time, the empire is willing to take the initiative to stop the war, which is already the supreme benevolence of His Majesty the Emperor. Don't you really want to beg for peace, and want to fight again, so that our 1st Army will capture Yanjing and capture your emperor? ”
