Beiyang reactionaries

In 1919, a huge anti-Japanese wave broke out in North Korea.It really swept across the entire Korean peninsula, and millions of people participated in the anti-Japanese demonstrations at that time.Although the suppression was suppressed later, there are still many anti-Japanese organizations in the Korean peninsula.

Now Japan is strong, so they are dormant.

But it doesn't mean they will accept their fate.

Who knows what would have happened if the Korean peninsula had not been maintained by an army.Therefore, although the situation in the Northeast is in crisis, the governor of North Korea also needs to make proper arrangements before letting the troops go.

So it was quite a while late.

"If there is no train, it will take us six or seven days to reach Shenyang even if there is no resistance. If there is resistance from the Chinese army, it will take at least ten days. Despicable Chinese people."

Taro Yamamoto looked at the map and was very angry.

Taro Yamamoto was very angry with the Chinese army.

damn it.

Everyone should fight face-to-face, and what a thing it is to destroy the railway, it is a shame to the soldiers.It turned out that the Japanese army hoped to use the railway to come to Andong (Dandong) from Sinuiju, and then go straight into the hinterland where the Chinese army and the Kwantung Army were fighting.

If you use the railway, it will take a few days.

But what to do now?

If you want to rush to Shenyang without a railway, you have to walk, and it will take at least six or seven days.If you don't go to Shenyang to go to the battlefield in Dalian, the distance will be even further.Shenyang is 300 to [-] kilometers away from Andong, and Dalian is more than [-] kilometers away from Andong.Such a long time, without more than a week, there is no way to get there.

"Captain, look, there is a position of the Chinese army in the middle of the bridge."

"I saw."

Taro Yamamoto looked across the bridge.

The total distance of the Yalu River Bridge is only more than 900 meters.After Yamamoto Taro came, he observed it with a telescope.The Chinese army has deployed defensive positions in the middle of the bridge, and there are several defensive positions.

Even the deployment of heavy machine guns can be seen.

"Captain, without the train, our mission cannot be completed at all. The higher authorities require us to participate in the battle within at least three days. But in the current situation, if the large army wants to participate in the war, it will take at least a week without the train. By then Dalian The area has long been taken by the Chinese army."

"kindness."

Yamamoto Taro nodded.

Yes.

Without trains, it would not take a day or two for the Japanese army to rush to the battlefield or attack the flank of the Chinese army.It takes a week just to march.

By the time they went to war, the day lilies were cold.

It just doesn't work without a train.

"Go, send a telegram to the Governor's Mansion and tell them the situation here. Ask them to send road repairers as soon as possible to restore the railway here."

"Yes."

"Assemble the troops, I want to defeat the Chinese army in front."

"Yes."

Taro Yamamoto's idea is simple.

Destroy the Chinese army in front, then control this area, and seize positions for the later troops.There will also be a space for road construction troops later.So he immediately began gathering troops.

"Master, it's dangerous here."

Japan is observing the Chinese army, and the Chinese army is also observing the Japanese army.After the Chinese army deployed the line of defense in Anton, it had been waiting for the Japanese army for a while.I thought they would come over soon, but I didn't expect it to be much later than expected.In the position on the other side of the Yalu River Bridge, there was a group of officers observing the Japanese troops coming over.

Of course, there is going to be a war, and everyone will not wear it too obviously.

Because if the commander wears too eye-catching, it is easy to become a target.So everyone is wearing combat uniforms, and the rank epaulets are not obvious.

"fine."

He Wenchang (Boss He) waved his hand.

Continue to observe the Japanese army with a telescope for a period of time.Seeing that the Japanese army is gathering troops, he immediately said: "This is the vanguard of the Japanese army. It looks like there is about a brigade. They are gathering troops now, and it looks like they are going to launch an attack. Give orders to the troops in the front position to block the Japanese army for a period of time. After that, if the Japanese army has strong firepower, I will retreat slowly. There is no need to stick to the front position."

"Yes."

"Then give an order to the artillery unit behind. As long as our troops evacuate from the middle of the bridge, when the Japanese army rushes up, they will bombard me directly. From now on, the artillery unit will aim at the center of the bridge for me."

"Teacher."

Hearing He Wenchang's order, someone pulled He Wenchang immediately.

He whispered: "Master, this is the Yalu River Bridge, which connects China and North Korea. Its strategic location is very important. There are many heavy artillery in our artillery unit. Once the bombing starts, it is very likely to damage the bridge. Some parts may even collapse. If it goes down, it will completely damage the bridge. Isn't this inappropriate?"

The above commands are all vague.

First let the troops formulate a plan to blow up the bridge, but if it is difficult, they can blow up the railway above.Meaning, if you can, don't blow up the bridge.

In the early years, He Wenchang's troops were the troops of the Jingguo Army in western Hunan. Although their combat effectiveness was not weak, their weapons and equipment were poor.However, after defecting to Duan Xun, he was incorporated into the mixed brigade of Tang Shengzhi, Duan Xun's direct descendant, and his weapons and equipment immediately improved to a higher level.Later, he followed Tang Shengzhi to the Northeast and was incorporated into the No.12 Army.

This is a very direct line of Duan Xun, and because it directly faces Zhang Zuolin and Japan in the northeast, it is very valued.

The weapons are well equipped.

Among the artillery units, many heavy artillery units were assigned.If this is to bombard the bridge indiscriminately, it may damage the bridge.

"That's the order."

He Wenchang did not waver in the slightest.

However, he still explained: "During the war, how can you manage so much. When taking over the Shenyang Railway Station, the commander ordered the use of artillery even in such an important place, blowing up a lot of things. Compared with the Shenyang Railway Station Let me tell you, what is the Yalu River Bridge? After the war is over, if you need this bridge, you can completely rebuild it. Don’t think about so many things now. We are soldiers, and we don’t need to think about things other than fighting. We only think about how to win the war. .Tell them, do your best, and if anyone really blows up the bridge for me, I will give him a credit."

"Yes."

He Wenchang was under a lot of pressure.

Because his troops were deployed on the traffic arteries from Anton to Shenyang, and from Anton to Dalian.

The task is to stop the North Korean division.

And didn't give him time.His task is to hold it firmly before other troops take over.Therefore, in order to hold the position and complete the task, blowing up the Yalu River Bridge is nothing.

Blowing up the Yalu River Bridge may be criticized by some people later.

But if you can't complete the task, then your military career will end.He Wenchang can still grasp which is more important.

"Send a telegram to Shenyang, saying that the vanguard of the Japanese army has arrived in Sinuiju. Report the combat determination and combat plan of our department."
