Lieutenant General Michikani Tsuno smiled and said to Lieutenant Colonel Pulei, the head of the British Artillery Division beside him: "It should be a small group of Qing troops that were abandoned on the south bank before, and the imperial soldiers will soon be able to completely annihilate this flow army, and they will definitely not let it disturb the Korean people!" ”

"General Tsuno, as far as I know, both the royal family and the common people in Korea seem to trust the Qing army more; Moreover, this time your country invaded Korea uninvited, while the Qing army, on the contrary, came at the invitation of the Korean government. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Lieutenant Colonel Smirnov, a staff officer of the Tsarist Far East Military District Command, questioned Michikani Tsuno with a smile with a hint of sarcasm.

Lieutenant Yoshijiro Hayashi, the Russian interpreter next to him, couldn't help but change color, and he didn't know how to translate it.

This-stirring stick, I really don't know what the War Department thinks, invite such a disgusting guy to come and watch the battle?

Looking at the face of Lieutenant Yoshijiro Hayashi, Michikani Tsuno knew that there were no good words.

"Despite this, this Qing army dares to choose to fight in such an unfavorable situation, and it is also a respectable team."

Lieutenant Colonel Pu Lei estimated that the polar bear could not spit out any good words, so he turned away in English.

After all, the British Empire and the small countries of the East are still in a very friendly honeymoon period, and I hope that they can fulfill their promise to resist the southern invasion of Tsarist Russia in Northeast Asia.

"If you are interested, you might as well go to the castle tower to watch the battle of our imperial warriors, how to heroically annihilate the last Qing army in the south of Pyongyang!"

After listening to the English interpreter, Michikani Tsuno smiled and extended invitations to military observers and war correspondents from Western countries in the lobby.

"Okay."

"Very happily."

Hearing the translation of the interpreter around him, the foreigners from all over the world nodded one after another, showing great interest.

Those war correspondents hurriedly stood up and wanted to carry their own eating and putting tools, preparing to take a few more photos to witness history in a while.

In any case, a Qing army hanging alone in the south of the Yangtze River did not quickly cross the river from the upper and lower reaches to flee north, but bravely launched a suicidal attack on the Japanese army with the determination to die.

This army is a respectable force.

Compared with the Qing army in Pyongyang last night who fled without a fight, how can it not make people curious?

And it is a very rare war report, called "Spartacus Rushing to Death".

How sensational!

"You will also come with me to the city wall to watch the battle."

Tsuno Michikan was full of ambition and ordered his generals.

"Hey!"

The Japanese soldiers in the lobby all shouted in unison.

There was a smile of disdain in his eyes.

More than 20 people want to block the Datong River Boat Bridge, are these Qing troops crazy?

It's like sending you to death!

"General!"

Shi Shaozuo, the chief of staff of the Ninth Brigade, unintentionally flashed a picture of the old island in his head, and suddenly shouted in horror: "They are going to seize the Green cannon on the Mind Island!" ”

Yesterday in Peony Terrace, Yuanshan, who suffered a big loss from the big killer of the Green Cannon, the Japanese generals of the Shuoning detachment all changed color completely.

"Yaga, can a cannon stop the advance of the Imperial soldiers?"

Michikani Tsuno scolded Okawaishi.

American war correspondent Harris retorted with a smile: "Your Excellency, General, please don't underestimate this kind of heavy machine gun exported by our United States, when it arrives at the city wall, it may bring a big surprise to everyone." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Pu Lei, who was next to him, showed a hint of disdain in his eyes, and now the Maxim machine gun of the British Empire was very popular all over the world.

Green cannon, this junk weapon. - It's outdated!

"Really?"

Michikan Tsuno didn't want to offend this war correspondent from the United States, who had a good relationship with the empire, and said with a smile: "Then you must have a good insight." ”

On the wooden platform of the Green Cannon on Toulao Island, Liu Mingyang, deputy platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon, stood behind the Green Gun, holding the butt of the gun with his left hand and holding the runner tightly with his right hand, staring at the group of Japanese soldiers rushing from the opposite bank.

Several scouts stood beside him, all holding magazines in their hands, ready to change their bullets at any time.

And Luo Minglei, the leader of the second squad, led the rest of the soldiers, all prostrate on the bridge and in the shallow water on both sides, aiming at the Japanese soldiers who shouted and pounced fiercely.

When the reconnaissance platoon was formed, there were 4 squads of 49 people.

First, 4 people stayed in Jinmen to monitor the spy Shen Chuan.

Later, after the battle of blocking the breakthrough of the first brigade of the Japanese army on the Dongxian Ridge Post Road, 11 people were killed and 6 people were seriously injured, and 2 of these 6 people did not survive.

It can be described as a heavy loss.

After that, the platoon leader Xiong Kaiyu returned to Jinmen and took 4 more people with him, one of whom was the squad leader and two were the deputy squad leaders.

Up to now, less than half of the reconnaissance company has only 23 people left, and in addition to Liu Mingyang himself, only Luo Minglei, the leader of the second squad, is left to assist in management.

After this blockade war, I don't know how many people will survive?

"Shoot!"

"Bang bang bang-"

There was still a distance of more than 200 meters from Toulao Island, and the Japanese troops began to raise their guns to attack, trying to suppress the fire in advance.

"Aim and hit!"

Liu Mingyang hurriedly shook his head, dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, fine-tuned the muzzle of the cannon, and began to rotate the wheel of the Green Cannon with his right hand calmly and evenly.

"Da-da-"

Suddenly, the Green Cannon spewed out tongues of fire and shot at the Japanese troops charging on the bridge.

"Hit!"

With Luo Minglei's roar, eighteen bursting guns exploded almost simultaneously, shooting at the running Japanese soldiers.

"Ahh

The huge kinetic energy of the Green artillery bullets suddenly smashed the four or five Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front with flesh and blood.

Moreover, after the bullet hit these flesh and blood, it still spun at high speed and easily penetrated, beating the Japanese soldiers behind them into a cry.

"Da-da-"

"Change the bullet!"

As Liu Mingyang roared, a soldier beside him endured a big blister on his big hand, twisted his face and clenched his teeth, and changed the bullet in the magazine again.

"Da-da-"

Under Liu Mingyang's men, the Green Cannon roared again at a uniform speed and ploughed towards the Japanese army behind.

For a time, blood and flesh flew on the bridge, and the Japanese army retreated.

"Bastard, asshole!"

Squadron Leader Kenkichi Hirata yelled angrily, pushed away the panicked and dodging soldiers in front of him, and rushed forward.

Captain Hirata's eyes suddenly lit up, and his vision suddenly widened.

It turned out that in front of him, there was no longer a single Japanese soldier who could stand.

Captain Hirata's body immediately trembled, and he was shocked to see that the deck of the nearly fifty-meter-long bridge in front of him was covered with the bloody and broken corpses of soldiers on the bridge!

"Bastard, shoot me—"

"Da-da-"

A string of Green cannon bullets screamed at him, instantly knocking Hirata Kenkichi into a hornet's nest, and the bloody bullets immediately burst out of his back and shot at the Japanese soldiers behind.

easily killed the six or seven Japanese soldiers who followed Hirata Kenyoshi closely.

"The captain is dead, the captain is dead!"

The death of Kenyoshi Hirata completely crushed the psychological defense of all Japanese troops in the 11th Squadron, and they all shouted and turned around and fled towards the north bank of the bridge.

Fifty or so corpses of Japanese soldiers were left behind, and the blood was strewn strewn, staining the bridge red with blood.

And those Japanese wounded who were seriously wounded and waiting to die, let out a terrible scream from their mouths, rendering this bridge like a ghost domain like Shura Field.

Tsuno Michikan happened to lead the generals and the Western Observation Group to the Datong Gate Tower, and the Japanese troops below who retreated and fled, and the shocking accumulation of corpses on the bridge made Tsuno Michikani's face suddenly become extremely ugly.
