Volume 5 Divine Wind and Rain Volume Chapter 23 Cherry Blossoms Wither
.
It is a shelter on the city wall. In fact, it was transformed by the original artillery tower. It is the commanding heights of the whole city and has been specially reinforced. As a temporary command center, whenever the Chinese army starts to attack, it can easily see the Chinese army's advance route.
Through the telescope, you can naturally make an accurate calculation of the overall situation. However, sometimes such a clear vision brings more than just convenience to the Major General. Under the artillery fire, every fortress is destroyed, and there are still many people left in that squadron. All those squadrons have returned to heaven, and they all bring a little pain, just like chronic bleeding, which is torture and also leads them away from the world of Jiang Ren.
The Major General knew his troops very well. He often compared his troops to a sharp sword. Those were sword blades, those were sword spines, those were sword hilts, and those were floating ribbons. He was the peerless swordsman dancing with his sword.
But now, in the telescope, he saw his efforts. The eighth squadron of the third brigade on the tip of the division was suffering from a devastating blow from Zhao. The major general felt that his spirit and body were suffering from huge pain. Amid the series of coughs, the major general lost consciousness and fell to the ground like a rag bag.
On a small hill far away in the city, a cannonball roared and fell down with its majesty. When it hit a bunker on a hill, it immediately released a violent explosion, first with dazzling bright light, and then smoke and dust and fragments of objects flew up at the same time. In the explosion, it was with its own guns, tragic, and those unyielding souls ascended to heaven.
The war did not become gentle because of the enemy's cowardice. After a fire preparation, the Chinese positions outside the city blew a charge. A shiny trumpet rang, and waves of Chinese soldiers began to charge, and the earth resounded with the fearless shouts of the warriors.
The voice also woke up the unconscious major general. Regardless of the counselor's persuasion, the major general nervously held the telescope to look. On the eighth squadron's position, an officer crawled out in a piece of smoke and dust. One hand danced, stumbled, fell to the ground and got up again, and rushed on the ground, and then rushed on the ground, and got up again. Another soldier crawled out in the smoke and dust.
The major general recognized with relief that the officer was the squadron leader, Masaki Ooda, and the soldier was Sergeant Miyazaki Jino. Why are they still alive? This is very good. As long as they are still there, they will reorganize their strength, even if there is only one squad left, although they are defective, they are still at the tip of the sword.
Ota and Miyazaki seemed to pounce on the soldiers' bodies. Regardless of whether they died in battle or not, they would pick up the gun! Fight for the Emperor, and be loyal to their emperor no matter where they are.
A few hundred meters in front of them, the yellow wave of the Chinese army is getting closer and closer.
Decades later, the old man Yang Keming, who was just an ordinary soldier at the time, recalled:
That battle was fought, I couldn't understand it with my mouth. One bunker and one bunker were fought in. At the beginning, attacked along the ditch, and everyone threw it away.
So I dug a trench and attacked. In the first few days, I could hear the shouts of fighting, especially the Japanese supervising war
The team shouted fiercely: Suppress and give it to Vaka!
Later, my voice became hoarse, and I just gritted my teeth and stared at me. Sometimes the supervisory team shouted twice, but it was still howling. Japan couldn't stand it anymore. When I retreated, I couldn't stand it. Sometimes, I heard someone shouting indifferently, and the scream sounded miserable.
The smoke and fire, the corpse smelled so badly. In the first few days, I wanted to vomit when I smelled it, and my brain was so painful. Later, I couldn't smell it, so I could only drink some soup. So many people died, their eyes were red, they didn't feel hungry or tired, and they wanted to fight. When they were about to hit the side of the railway, there were more than 10 people in front of me, each with more than 10 grenades opening the way. The second echelon was full of explosives packs, shirtless, and machine guns rushed upwards.
What a life that is not alive? Just rush up. If you don’t kill me, even if my parents have another birth.
Movies and TV, as soon as this comes, the people of the motherland, wives and children, are all brought out.
There is something wrong with the land! I just sit at home and think about it.
The enemy is really tenacious. They fight you one by one, their eyes are bleeding, as if they can breathe in one breath
The prisoners were fighting for another seven days and seven nights. They were not vague and took the grenades to fight for us. Later, we did not keep the prisoners, and saw each one killing the other.
(This paragraph was not published later)
Mr. Liu was an emergency responder on the battlefield at that time, and he recalled:
"After graduating from Military and Political University, I went to the battlefield for the first time when I was so old that I was rushing to transport wounded people on the front line - I am the deputy captain of the emergency brigade.
On the snow that hit the road, there were red and yellow, and the bodies of wounded and martyrs everywhere. I saw that for the first time
The face was so confused. The migrant worker was even more confused than me and asked me: This leg is broken, and there is a hole in that head. Which one should I carry first?
?How can I understand! But even if you wear a black hat on your head, you can't pretend to be bad, so you just say: What's this and that? Just carry it quickly
!The first intestine came out, and I didn't dare to see it. The wounded man still understood, but he couldn't speak, so he grabbed it with his hands.
My shoulders meant thanking me for carrying him.
My tears are about to fall. They are all soldiers, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives in war. Let’s just recite them for a while. I said: Good comrade, don’t worry, I will definitely carry you out! After reciting a few times, I will have experience. First, touch your nose if you have anger. First, carry heavy ones and light ones. Most seriously injured people will not speak. One is that they have a lot of bleeding, and the other is that they are frozen. Some people will catch you and don’t let go.
I was slightly injured, so I told him: Wait a little longer, I will be seriously injured first, and I will come back to carry you immediately. I carried more than 10 wounded people back. The blood was so cold that it was frozen. After I got back, my cotton coat was twisted and bleeding, and I was so sticky in my dreams.
Finally, we deal with the remains of the martyrs. We used a big truck to pull a cart of more than a dozen or twenty, and each truck was pulled into a big pit on the mountain and buried it. The big pit we made was hundreds of. There were wooden cabinets at the beginning, but later they were gone, so we buried it. The wooden cabinets were all from fellow villagers. Every household in Japan had a big cabinet with a person who had a long and short floor. No matter where they were, if they were fighting, the rice cabinets in nearby villages would be gone.
There is a temple on the hillside next to the big pit, and there is a Japanese monk in the temple. He stands there, his eyes closed, and chants "" straight...
The bloody battle in this state is the most cruel war in the history of war. Both sides used their greatest courage, perseverance, and determination. However, in the early stages of the war, the Chinese army's attack did not go smoothly. After paying hundreds of corpses, they had to retreat.
Seeing the Chinese army retreating like a tide, the major general finally breathed a sigh of relief. When the war was fierce just now
He had to use the only five bronze cannons in his hand, and then he barely suppressed them. Seeing that the attack was not going well, the Chinese army quickly withdrew from the Japanese position, and the entire retreat process was as standard as a textbook.
However, after repelling the Chinese army, the major general's heart understood. The army in front of him had very high combat literacy and was definitely an elite trained after several years of bloody battles. No matter what the situation was, he was defeated but not defeated. Behind him, there was Tokyo without resistance. Thinking of this, the major general's heart immediately sank to the bottom.
At this time, Tokyo was holding an emergency meeting of the imperial camp. The imperial meeting of the imperial camp held by Emperor Meiji was in a state of grief.
The base camp is composed of military officers from the army and naval army. Its main members include: Chief of the military officer and Chief of the Military Affairs Officer, Major General Araoshi Akanomiya, Chief of Staff, Prince Shizuhito Sugagawamiya (Chief of the Staff), Chief of the Army Lieutenant General Kawakamiya (Deputy General Kuranosuke (Chief of the Navy Order), Chief of the Army Lieutenant General Kawakamiya (Chief of the Navy Order), Chief of the Army Station Lieutenant General Kawakami (Concurrently), Chief of Transportation Communications Army Infantry Colonel Teraunuchi, Chief of Field Supervisor Army Supervisor Nagano Hakutotsu, Chief of Field Health, Chief of Army Medical Director Tadatoku Ishiguro.
Compared with the original time and space: the naval generals have returned to the embrace of the great god of heaven. The military headquarters has become the world of the army.
The chief of staff of the base camp, the chief of staff, Prince Arisugawa Shizuki looked at a broken naval battle flag with expressionless face. Aside from the battle flag was a samurai sword inlaid with a chrysanthemum family emblem, and a letter was placed next to the knife.
Shiroin handed the letter to Meiji's hand with his trembling hands. The letter was short
"My Majesty, My Majesty,
I led the joint fleet to fight with the Northern China fleet for half a day, but I couldn't stand it. The essence collected by our country for ten years was gone in one day. I was determined to give up on my caesarean section to thank the people."
After reading it, Meiji said to Chichiren:
"Now the navy generals have withered and the navy has been wiped out. I wonder what the nobles of your family have."
The room calmed down, and Lieutenant General Kawakami Kawakami was interjected by:
"The navy consumed the country's money, but it was embarrassing to lose to the Northern China fleet. This shows that the navy's strength is just so. However, at present, the Northern China's army is as many as 100,000, and its combat effectiveness is very brave. I don't know how Mr. Aragou explained it. After all, before the war, Lord Aragou swore to announce that the Northern China would not have the strength to invade our country."
No one answered that the naval elites had already sunk into the sea. Now the base camp is the world of the army, but this desolate scene is something that the generals of the army are unwilling to see.
The imperial military expenditure has always been paid for 30% and the navy is divided into large numbers. The army has a large number of people, but only a pitiful little funding. During the preparations, each soldier has allocated 10 bullets, and each cannon has only 25 shells. In contrast, the navy's military expenditure increases by more than 30% every year, and many military expenditures are misappropriated by the army.
"I have a responsibility for this issue," said the chief military officer and military director, Major General Okazawa, and the head of the military, and the head of the military, and the embarrassingly. "The day before yesterday, the intelligence department of the North China Department sent a telegram, indicating that in the Shanhaiguan War last year, there were only 4,000 casualties in North China, and the more than 46,000 people reported remained in the Northeast. It was not until the large-scale mobilization a few days ago."
Meiji's expression is serious:
"You really want to say that the 50,000 most elite men in North China have not moved. We just waited for us to reveal our flaws and then sent troops. This army has been hidden for a year and has not been sent by us."
Okao Essence lowered her head:
"I think so,"
"Even without a navy, our tens of thousands of troops will still defeat the enemy and successfully eliminate the enemy on the ground!"
Kawakami Kawakami interrupted casually, saying that this time Dashan Iron had to pull him, reminding him not to be too presumptuous to His Highness the Prince.
"I think our army in Taiwan must withdraw immediately to defend its homeland, otherwise it will repeat the mistakes of Renchen."
The military officer, the chief army general, Okazawa, was worried and said slowly to the prince.
Kawakami Kawakami immediately pushed him back: "Kun Arago, I have some questions about you. How did your intelligence work be done? Do you not even know the current form? The United States has become an ally of China and declared war on us."
"Kan Kawakami is right!" With a part of his efforts, the Americans brought back the Imperial Army soldiers in Taiwan."
Kawakami Kawakami still sarcastically: "Mr. Arago, your judgments have already put our country in a great crisis. Please don't pay attention to it again, as it will make us all go to hell."
Arato's face couldn't be held back, so he stood up and bowed to Emperor Meiji.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and I have implicated the empire and I have applied to leave the seat early."
Meiji glanced at the expressionless answer
“Accept it!!!”
Unexpectedly, what he got in the end was this fate. Arakuyoshi stood up in disappointment and looked around. No one said anything, and no one could save this lost man at the price of angering the emperor. Therefore, Arakuyoshishi had to pay the price for his mistakes.
On November 8, Arao Jing committed suicide by having a caesarean section at home in Tokyo, at the age of 57. The suicide of this veteran reveals the final fate of the Sakura Kingdom.
Shortly after Arato spirit left, a messenger knocked on the door: "Military Information Report"
Prince Chiren shouted: "Remember quickly."
The room was silent, and everyone was looking forward to it and listening to the unknown battle report with some fear.
"Our Third Division fought hard for one day and repelled the enemy. The enemy suffered extremely heavy casualties, and our position remained unmoved."
Everyone in the room cheered in love, Army general Oyama Iwaki and others hugged each other. Meiji also smiled.
In this difficult time, every little victory is exciting. It is like an unfortunate person who strives to seize happiness, but in the end it just lets happiness slip faster.
