Beiyang reactionaries

When the Japanese troops on the bridge were stunned by a burst of artillery, the Chinese troops that had been retreating suddenly began to countercharge.The Japanese troops who fought suffered heavy losses.

"Withdraw, withdraw."

Taro Yamamoto yelled.

However, when the order was issued, the Japanese army had already suffered nearly 300 casualties during this burst of bombardment and the countercharge of the Chinese army.

lost heavily.

Taro Yamamoto didn't know what to say.Because of the four attacks in one afternoon, the Japanese army suffered more than 400 casualties, and more than 60 people were captured by the Chinese army.

Lost half the army.

It even lost a large number of heavy machine guns and grenades.

"Major Yamamoto, you are a disgrace to the Japanese Imperial Army."

"Hay!"

Sinuiju.

The Yamamoto brigade was filled with sadness.

Because of the battle on the afternoon of August 8, the blow to the Yamamoto Brigade was too great.The Yamamoto brigade had nearly half of its casualties and prisoners here, and lost more than 19 people.But there is still no way to deal with the Chinese army on the opposite side, and the Yalu River Bridge is still firmly in the hands of the Chinese army.

After the Korean Division and the 06th Division of the Japanese Army decided to enter the Northeast, the speed was still very fast.From about 30:[-] in the afternoon until about [-] o'clock, the arrival of several trains brought nearly two Japanese brigades.There were also some trains in the follow-up, which brought a lot of military supplies.

A regiment of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army came to the Sinuiju area.

It was Kazuki Kimura who led the troops.

After Kimura Kazuki came to Sinuiju, he was in a very bad mood.Because the troops are still staying in Sinuiju.It should have been said that the troops should have passed directly through Sinuiju and entered Andong (Dandong) in the northeast for repairs.After the follow-up troops arrive, it is right to use the Anfeng Railway as a vanguard to directly attack Shenyang.

Only when the troops directly attack Shenyang can they put the greatest pressure on the Chinese army and help the Kwantung Army on the battlefield.

But what are you doing now?

The troops still stayed in Sinuiju, and the Yamamoto Brigade suffered heavy losses.One by one, the entire brigade was filled with negative emotions.

Just look at the vibe.

Negative.

Therefore, Kazuki Kimura was very angry, and when he came, he criticized Taro Yamamoto for a while.Then he asked, "Major Yamamoto, tell us about the situation of the Chinese army."

"Yes."

Although the daytime attack failed, Taro Yamamoto was a professional officer after all.Therefore, he immediately gave Kimura Kazuki a detailed introduction to the daytime fighting situation.

Not exaggerated, but the original introduction.

"Captain, I was worried about damaging the bridge, so I didn't use cannons. But the Chinese army didn't care about that at all, and even used heavy artillery."

Taro Yamamoto didn't defend himself at first, but finally defended himself.

Taro Yamamoto believed that the reason for his failure in attacking was that the opponent used cannon.If it weren't for the use of artillery by the Chinese army, Yamamoto Taro thought he could completely control the Yalu River Bridge.Kazuki Kimura snorted coldly, then walked out.The people behind also followed Kazuki Kimura out.

Chinese and Japanese troops continued to confront each other on the bridge.

However, after dark, both sides stopped the exchange of fire tacitly.Kazuki Kimura came over to look at the Yalu River Bridge, and said with an ugly expression: "Damn Chinese people. They don't care about destroying this bridge at all."

The Yalu River Bridge is really important to the Japanese army.

What is coming now is a regiment, and in the next few days, troops from a division will arrive one after another.Even many reinforcements from the Japanese army will land from Busan Port, and finally use this railway to enter the Northeast.It is planned that there will be at least three divisions of troops entering China from here.

Three divisions and about 7 troops have to pass through this bridge.

But this group of damned Chinese troops even used heavy artillery.

Don't care about the bridge at all.

If this bridge is damaged by the Chinese army, it will not be so easy to repair it, and many important things will be delayed.

"Captain, the Chinese army has begun to redeploy the defense line over there again. And they will definitely use cannons wantonly starting tomorrow. If we don't use cannons, we will not be able to defeat the opponent's defense line at all."

"Humph."

Kazuki Kimura picked up the binoculars and looked at the opposite position.

Not sure.

Because it is the ninth day of the lunar calendar, the moon is still half a moon.Unless there is a light on the opposite side, it is very difficult to see.But Kimura Kazuki still observed the opposite side carefully, and after watching for several minutes, he put down the binoculars.

"What about the weapon configuration of the Chinese army on the opposite side?"

"Lieutenant Captain, the firepower arrangement is very formal. When I attacked for the first time, their firepower arrangement was like this."

Taro Yamamoto immediately drew the firepower arrangement of the Chinese army on the ground.

After reading it, Kimura Kazuki also nodded and said: "It's very regular, and the weapons and equipment are not bad. If you don't use heavy weapons, it is really difficult not to use artillery. But this is not the reason for your failure. Your artillery can't Used on the bridge, can't you also use artillery on the position on the other side of the bridge? Pig brain, I doubt you learned anything in the Army University."

Kazuki Kimura was in a bad mood.

It was completely different from what he had imagined before.After arriving in Sinuiju, it turned out to be such a situation, how could he not be angry.So directly criticize Taro Yamamoto.

"The headquarters of the Chinese army must be on the opposite side. If you concentrate your artillery on the opposite side of the bridge, and then cooperate with your infantry to pull out these strongholds, then you have a good chance of controlling the bridge. But what are your artillery left for. You have completely disgraced the Imperial Army of Japan, I wish I could send you to a military court, Sato-kun."

"United Captain."

"Deploy our artillery unit and bomb the opposite position for me tomorrow morning. But tell them, don't bomb the bridge. Just bomb the target on the other side of the bridge."

"Yes."

"Major Suzuki."

"United Captain."

"Tomorrow, your brigade will organize troops and launch an attack at dawn. You must take the Yalu River Bridge."

"Yes."

"Major Yamamoto."

"arrive."

"Hmph, tomorrow is the day you will make amends. Write down the situation between you and the Chinese army today, and give it to Major Suzuki. And find some of your troops who have participated in the battle to cooperate with the Suzuki brigade. If tomorrow It’s easy to talk about everything, if you can’t win the opposite position tomorrow, you should know what to do.”
