Beiyang reactionaries

When Neji Gangmura saw the liaison officer of his unit riding to him on horseback, his expression was not very good.

"A telegram from the Governor's Office. Except for us, the Chinese government has bombed four places. It is not our military camp, but our logistics camp. Our ammunition depot in Pyongyang was also bombed, and the loss was great. The Governor's Office asked Itagaki Commander, sort out the casualties here and report them as soon as possible."

"There are four more places?"

Okamura Ningji and Itagaki Seishiro's expressions froze.

A total of five places?

If the losses are as heavy as here, then the Japanese army lost too much in the air strike of the Chinese army.The total number of Japanese troops on the entire Korean peninsula is less than 4.

How many casualties will there be at this time.

Things are getting bigger.

Ningji Gangmura's expression was even darker.Because what he considered was not only the loss, but also how many planes the Chinese government mobilized to be able to attack so many targets at the same time.

There are more than 60 planes attacking here. If the air strikes five targets, more than 300 planes have been mobilized.With so many planes mobilized in one air strike, the strength of the Chinese aviation force has reached such a point.

Just think about it.

"Itagaki-kun, you sort out the casualties as soon as possible, and I will transfer the troops. Those rebel forces will definitely make trouble."

"Okay. I..."

"Boom boom-"

"Da da da--"

Just as the two were preparing, the sound of artillery and heavy machine guns suddenly sounded from the north.The two judged in an instant that the sound of the artillery was not an infantry artillery, but a mortar.

"Damn it, this group of damned rebels. Mr. Itagaki, these rebels attacked us while we were under air strikes. You should integrate the troops as soon as possible, and reconcile with the officers of the troops, and don't let the troops disperse. I will immediately take Troops are coming for reinforcements."

"kindness."

The two judged at once how the cannon and gunshots came from.The Korean Independence Army has been waiting, and immediately took advantage of this opportunity to surprise the Japanese army after the bombing by Chinese planes.

The current Japanese army is in a mess, and it is the most chaotic time.If the Korean Independence Army intervenes, it is likely to cause a major defeat.Itagaki Seishiro is a senior staff officer of the Governor's Mansion and came here on behalf of the Governor's Mansion.When the head of the Honda brigade was killed and the command system of the troops was in disorder, Seishiro Itagaki was qualified to temporarily integrate the troops.

Linjiang.

Dong Songyan's headquarters was established in Linjiang.Originally, Dong Songyan's headquarters was placed in Tonghua. From Tonghua to Hunjiang (now Baishan), Linjiang, and Changbai were all defensive positions of Dong Songyan's troops.Dong Songyan's troops were adapted from the former Beijing garrison troops, and they were from the real Imperial Forest Army.

Dong Songyan also changed from the capital garrison commander to the current army commander.Because of their different backgrounds, Dong Songyan's troops are relatively large, and their weapons and equipment are better than other troops.

However, because the Japanese army suddenly crossed the Yalu River and entered the Badaogou area, Dong Songyan took a car from Tonghua to Linjiang overnight.A new command post has been deployed here.And the military headquarters in Tonghua also moved to Linjiang.And several troops under Dong Songyan began to gather here.

Dong Songyan's temporary headquarters was placed in the mountains behind Linjiang.

"How's it going?"

"The effect was not very good. Although the Korean Independence Army took advantage of the chaos to attack the Japanese army, the Japanese army responded quickly. It was a little flustered at the beginning, but quickly stabilized its position. Although the Korean Independence Army worked hard, judging from the current situation It seems that it is difficult to break through the Japanese defense line, and the occupation is in a stalemate."

"It seems that the military quality of the Japanese army is really not bad."

Dong Songyan looked at the opposite position with a telescope and sighed.This is the first time that the Chinese army and the Korean Independence Army have cooperated in combat.Although the Chinese Army did not attack, the Chinese Air Force bombarded the Japanese positions indiscriminately.

More than 60 planes dropped so many aerial bombs and carried out machine gun fire for half an hour.The casualties of the Japanese army exceeded a thousand people. For a force of about 8000 people, such casualties were already very large.

Moreover, the Japanese army also lost a large amount of military supplies.

When the Japanese army did not fully react, 5000 troops from two brigades of the Korean Independence Army attacked.This is also the first such large-scale attack since the establishment of the Korean Independence Army.

Unfortunately, the effect is very bad.

The Korean Independence Army was completely inexperienced in such a large-scale war for the first time.The cooperation between the various troops is not very good.To make matters worse, the Japanese army reacted too quickly.

Although the air strike suffered a lot of losses and the troops were a little flustered, they were able to come out quickly and deploy the defense line quickly.

Face to face, direct confrontation, the Korean Independence Army is still very young.After all, the Korean Independence Army has only been established for more than a year, and it has never fought a war of this scale.Although the generals of the Korean Independence Army have all received formal military courses in China, they are all knowledge from books.It was the first time to command so many troops, and the command was also in a hurry.Including officers and soldiers of the Korean Independence Army also received formal military training, but they have not fought a major battle if they have not fought a major battle.

Fighting a war with a small force is a completely different command than fighting a large force.After the Japanese army stabilized, it was much more difficult to attack.

"Yes. If our troops are under such a large-scale air attack, we may not be able to stabilize so quickly."

Chen Mingshu also nodded.

The military quality of the Japanese army is still very positive.Chen Mingshu is from Cantonese and used to be in the Cantonese Army.After the Cantonese Army was reorganized by Duan Xun, most of the young officers of the Cantonese Army were reused.

For example, Deng Yanda is now Duan Xun's chief bodyguard, or the director of Duan Xun's military staff office, and has already been promoted to the rank of major general.

Chen Mingshu was also one of those young officers who was promoted relatively quickly.One of the big reasons is that although Chen Mingshu was born in the Guangdong Army, he is Xu Yongchang's classmate and Duan Xun's student.It was a student of Baoding Military Academy that Duan Xun personally took care of.In fact, many senior officers of the Guangdong Army in the early days graduated from Baoding Military Academy.Among them, there are many officers who are inextricably linked to Duan Xun.

you could put it that way.

Because Duan Xun came from Baoding Military Academy, the Baoding Department is the largest force in the current Chinese army.At present, [-]% of the senior military officials are from Baoding Military Academy.

Among the officers of the Cantonese Army who are reused by the Ministry of Military Affairs, those from Baoding Military Academy are the most likely to be reused.Because they have many classmates in the military department.Not to mention that Chen Mingshu was still a student directly taught by Duan Xun, so he had already become the chief of staff of the army in just a few years.

Moreover, he is the chief of staff of Dong Songyan's army, who was born in the Duan Xun Yulin Army.

Speaking of which, Dong Songyan and Chen Mingshu were classmates of Baoding Military Academy, but neither of them had fully graduated.When Chen Mingshu was in school, the second revolution broke out, so he transferred to Japan to participate in the second revolution.But Dong Songyan opposed Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor and was expelled from the school.

"This won't work, it won't work."

Dong Songyan frowned watching the battle on the other side of the Yalu River.The meaning of the above is obvious.Take advantage of this opportunity to severely attack the strength of the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula, creating a power vacuum on the Korean Peninsula.Before the Japanese reinforcements arrived on the Korean Peninsula, the Korean Independence Army could expand its power on a large scale on the Korean Peninsula.Let the Japanese army fall into the quagmire of the Korean peninsula.That's why the Korean Independence Army gathered so many troops to raid the Japanese army.

But now it seems that the effect is not obvious.The strength of the Japanese army is still too strong. Not to mention that the Korean Independence Army caused large-scale casualties to the Japanese army, it is still a question of whether they can retreat completely.They only brought casualties to the Japanese army at the beginning, and now the two sides are in a stalemate.

After the Japanese army recovers, it will inevitably counterattack.The Korean Independence Army can't stop this force at all.Two brigades, 5000 troops, this is the main force of the Korean Independence Army.If the loss is too large, it will seriously hurt the vitality of the Korean Independence Army.

"Brother Zhenru (Chen Mingshu), what do you think?"

"Indeed."

Chen Mingshu nodded, and said: "The Korean Independence Army is seriously lacking in combat experience, especially in this scale of combat experience. It was such a good opportunity just now, they should let an elite force rush in, and don't give the Japanese a chance to react. Give the Japanese army time to lay out the defense line. If the Japanese army could not quickly deploy the defense line, it could have brought huge casualties and confusion to the Japanese army. What a pity."

Not satisfied.

Chen Mingshu was very dissatisfied with the choice of the Korean Independence Army.What a great opportunity just now, after the Japanese army was bombed, there was chaos.At that time, don't miss the opportunity to fight. It is the best way to find a sharp knife army to rush in, and then a large army to make a surprise attack.Once this happens, it will be very difficult for the Japanese army to organize a line of defense.

"They have never fought a big battle, so they don't know what to do. They think that a large number of people can strengthen their courage, but they are wasting the opportunity for nothing."

Dong Songyan was not satisfied.

But I also understand the choice of the Korean Independence Army.They had never fought such a war, and they were beating drums in their hearts facing the Japanese army.So concentrate your forces and give yourself courage.
