Chapter 190: Wonsan Landing

"I heard that Nozu Michikani that idiot is having a hard time? Logistics supply lines and military stations are a mess for the Qing people? The commander of the Japanese First Division, Motoji Yamachi, said with some disdain.

"It's really not good to fight on the front line of Yuefeng Mountain, but if you take into account that Notsu-kun's supply line is too long, the Qing army is in a good position. It's forgivable to play like this. Regarding the accusations of the mountains, Major General Hasegawa Yoshimichi, the commander of the 12th Mixed Brigade, said with some dissatisfaction.

"Don't talk about the unpleasant things, my 1st Division and Your Excellency's 12th Mixed Brigade will play a decisive role in the Korean campaign. We will attack Pyongyang, the material distribution center and base camp of the Qing army in Korea, from behind. Completely cut off the way for the Qing Army to return home," said Yamachi Motoji with some pride.

"But we need more heavy artillery and ammunition to be able to move. The biggest failure of the 5th Division is that there is too little heavy artillery and the supply cannot keep up, judging from the current situation, our army can transport supplies to Wonsan by sea...... Then supplies were transported to the front by land from Wonsan, and in general the supply lines of our army were somewhat better than those of the 5th Division. As for artillery? "The commander of the 1st Wing of the Field Artillery, Takanori Imatsu, proudly pointed to the 107MM field gun next to him and said. We can completely wipe the city of Pyongyang off the map with shells! ”。 …。

"Well, it is true, Your Excellency's 1st Division has the 1st Infantry Brigade (under the 1st Infantry Wing and the 15th Infantry Wing), the 2nd Infantry Brigade (under the 2nd Infantry Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing), the 1st Cavalry Brigade and the 1st Field Artillery Wing, as well as a brigade of engineers and a battalion of baggagemen, while my 12th Mixed Brigade has the 14th Infantry Wing and the 24th Infantry Wing, the 1st Squadron of the 6th Cavalry Brigade, and the 3rd Brigade of the 6th Artillery Regiment. The total number of troops reached 25,000. This is more than the Ma Yukun ministry stationed in Pyongyang. With heavy fire support from a whole artillery wing. We can completely break the backbone of the Qing army stationed in Korea. "Major General Hase is also full of confidence. In his eyes, although the predicament of the Fifth Division is understandable, there are still some unscrupulous things in his heart.

However, the only thing that made the Japanese army bosses in Wonshan dissatisfied was that the transport fleet was too small, although the resistance of the Qing army in Wonshan was quickly crushed, but it was absolutely impossible to transport the 25,000 people and the corresponding supplies in half a month. (Historically, the Japanese troops who landed at Huayuankou were these two troops, and they were transported for half a month) and when the troops were transported, it was mid-November, and the weather was cold enough for ..........

If the fighting does not end by early December, I am afraid that both sides will have to stop, not for the sake of the New Year, but because the winter in North Korea is too cold. Not at all suitable for fighting, and in the winter of the DPRK, the best thing to do is to correct it. If this is the case, the war in Korea will be delayed until next spring, which is a great bad thing for Japan!

At the same time, Ma Yukun in Pyongyang also knew the news of the Japanese army's landing in Wonsan, and Ma Yukun also planned to let go of Wonsan in advance, but he really did not expect that the Japanese army actually used a reorganized division and a mixed brigade to land in Wonsan, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

Ma Yukun had more than 10,000 troops in his hands, many of which were baggage troops, and under the cover of the Japanese navy, Ma Yukun could not prevent the Japanese army from landing at all. Therefore, Ma Yukun simply focused the defense of the troops on Pyongyang, and informed Nie Shicheng that if necessary, he could consider withdrawing from the Wolbong Mountain position and converging with the main force to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the direction of Pyongyang. On the way from Wonsan to Pyongyang, Ma Yukun mainly blocked and delayed, consumed the Japanese army as much as possible, and like Nie Shicheng, once the main force of the Japanese army attacked in the direction of Pyongyang, he released the harassment force composed of cavalry to strike at the Japanese supply line. …………。

AND AGAINST THE JAPANESE ARMY'S 107MM HEAVY ARTILLERY SUPERIORITY. Ma Yukun simply did not have enough heavy artillery in his hands to counter-suppress, so he had to focus on the purchase and construction of official affairs, hoping to offset the Japanese artillery damage as much as possible through a complete trench system and dark bunkers.

The overall situation is that Ma Yukun of Pyongyang City is wholeheartedly repairing the city defense and hoarding supplies. And the Japanese army in Wonsan absolutely did not dare to attack without authorization. The tactics of dividing troops and attacking together were not unthought about by the Japanese army...... However, with the arrival of the Feng army general Zuo Guigui, the Japanese army did not form an absolute superiority over the Qing army and gave up. Both sides are gathering strength, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at the right time.

If it is said that in terms of land warfare, the two sides sharpened their knives, and it was not that they fought a few big battles. On the naval side. It can be described as the calm before the storm, and the main forces of the Beiyang Rapid Fleet and the Japanese guerrilla fleet are still lying in the shipyard for repairs. These two forces can be directly eliminated, and a decisive battle is brewing for the Beiyang Fleet and the Japanese Fleet. According to the agreement between the navy and the army in the base camp of the Japanese army at that time. The navy should ensure that the army's sea supply points move northward. The Qing army's supply port tests were distributed along the coastline from Asan to the north. The additional supply at the same time made the supply situation of the Qing army much better. Therefore, whether it is to compress the supply space of the Beiyang Army or shorten its own supply lines, the main fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet must leave the Korean Strait and move towards the Yellow Sea.........
