On September 20, the temporary command of the Japanese First Army in Huangzhou, North Korea.

Army General Yuto Yama Prefecture had just arrived, and he was not cheering, but a somewhat depressed military camp. When he saw the bodies of two major generals Yoshima Oshima and Shinmi Naomoto, he understood the source of the Japanese soldiers' repression. After only two battles with the Qing army, he was forced to death one major general and bomb one major general. Among them, Shinmi Naomoto, who was known as the Japanese military god, was very touched.

Yutoto Yama Prefecture's face was gloomy and turned to Chief of Staff Ogawa and said again: "What is the ability of the Chinese man Ye Zhikui to force Yoshima Oshima to kill Yukishima and kill Naomi Naomoto. It seems that it is very difficult. We should prepare for this battle."

Yutoshi Yama County is a strict, gloomy, domineering and arrogant person. Why did he value Ye Zhikui so cautiously? As a Japanese Ogawa, he certainly understood the reason again. During the Mu Reform Movement, Yutoshi Yama County and Sumiya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin-miya Shin

Chief of Staff Ogawa saw that this was not possible, and was afraid before he even fought. He quickly analyzed and said, "The British called Ye Zhikui the number one military genius in East Asia. In fact, Ye Zhikui was not worthy of his reputation. According to the previous imperial intelligence, Ye Zhikui had no experience at a young age. Perhaps he could win one or two battles with his temporary passion, but he had no experience in large-scale combat, and he was not comparable to you in any case."

Seeing that Yutoshi Yama Prefecture was listening carefully to himself, Ogawa continued: "Besides, Ye Zhikui has only participated in two battles. Although both battles have won, it cannot be denied that his military use is mostly strange and conspiracy to win is the ultimate strategy. Military tyrants must not only understand various conspiracies, but also understand soldiers, be able to train troops, and be able to attack the enemy with dignified soldiers. Obviously, Ye Zhikui is not qualified in this regard. His soldiers are all a group of militias, which is far inferior to the professional soldiers of the empire. Therefore, as long as we are cautious this time and do not fall into his trap, and fight head-on, victory is only at your fingertips."

Ogawa is once again a Chinese expert, and he has a clear understanding of the Chinese army. Indeed, the Huai Army is essentially a group of private soldiers, a militia recruited by Li Hongzhang. The real national defense force of the Qing Dynasty should be the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, but this group of master soldiers has fallen and cannot even win the militia. Therefore, this group of militias are now used as national defense military, which is a tragedy for this country.

Yutoto Yama County nodded, calmed down his feelings, and expressed his agreement: "In this way, my great Japanese imperial army is divided into two groups, one is commanded by you to launch an attack from the Datong River in Pyongyang, and the other is commanded by me personally to launch an attack from the west of Pyongyang. I believe that the Qing army must divide troops to defend Pyongyang four times, and in this way, my great Japanese imperial army can concentrate superior forces to attack the Qing army. If the Qing army comes to support in other directions, we can be weak and the real one is weak and attack other directions." Ogawa had no objection, this is a policy they had already agreed on.

…………………

At the Qing army's garrison, Ye Zhikui was assigned to defend the Datong River in Pyongyang. Ye Zhikui divided his troops into two units. A few troops were stationed at the Chuanqiao Fortress on the south bank of the Datong River, led by Wu Xiujie, and many troops were arranged on the north bank of the Datong River. In this way, as soon as the enemy reached the south bank of the Datong River, the Qing army on the south bank could detect and counterattack it in time. The Qing army on the north bank could also support it with cannons, and had enough buffering time so that the Japanese army could not cross the Datong River, and the Japanese attack on Pyongyang would also become a delusion.

On the eve of the war, Ye Zhikui inspected all the forts and found that the atmosphere was a little nervous because of the attack of the Japanese army. At this time, he had received the information about the results of the Battle of the Yellow Sea. He breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly happy that the Beiyang Navy had killed several Japanese ships. Therefore, he said to the soldiers around him with high spirits: "Brothers, the Japanese are not afraid of it. No matter how many people come, it will be in vain. Once you defeat the army, I, Ye Zhikui, won consecutive battles and never took them seriously. Therefore, don't ask me if I can defend Pyongyang, but when I should ask me when I drive them into the sea. Of course, we must despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactical attention. We can eat when we should eat, and when we should shoot, we must shoot accurately. Who among you has taken the head of the Japanese commander, Yama County Aotomo, for me, will reward one tael of silver." Everyone laughed, and the tension before the war was slowed down.

At 4 a.m. on September 22, when Ogawa led the 5th and 6th Brigades of the 3rd Division and the 10th Brigade arrived at the bridgehead on the south bank of the Datong River, they were discovered by soldiers who served as guards of the First Battalion of the Tiger. They fired guns to warn, and the battle started.

Ye Zhikuihu's brave army was under attack from more than 10,000 Japanese troops, and the pressure was very high. Unfortunately, not only were there more wars than people, but more than 10,000 Japanese troops could not be fully launched in this place.

Ogawa first ordered the 10th Brigade of Japan to attack. This brigade that had just been ravaged by Ye Zhikui was a little scared when he saw Ye Zhikui's troops and did not dare to rush too hard.

When they bent down and rushed to a distance from the bridgehead, they suddenly found steel wire mesh in front of them. The Japanese army who had never seen this defense method was stunned. What's the use of this wire? However, when they rushed to the present, they found that they were helpless about these steel mesh. They pulled them with their hands, and were suddenly poked bloodied by the spikes on them. They bit them with their teeth. They broke a few front teeth and couldn't bite them. They used guns to pick them, but found that they had nowhere to use force.

And every second on the battlefield was fighting. Just as they were thinking and sighing, the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion who were hiding in the dark of the fox pit fired the gun. As soon as the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion fired, they found that this was really easy to kill. It was easy to be killed because the barbed wire stood in the open space. As long as they squinted their eyes and aimed, they didn't even need to aim at anything, and there was no need to be any burden, the Japanese army was shot and fell down, leaving behind corpses on the ground.

Seeing this situation again, Ogawa took a breath. Ye Zhikui learned these things from there. Could it be that I am really behind this era? Ogawa couldn't help but ask himself secretly.

Well, there is no way, so I have to bomb with artillery fire first. With a few rumbling sounds, Xiaochuan raised his telescope and saw that the mountain was still the same mountain, the water was still the same water, and the barbed wire mesh was still the same. Even if there were a few gaps blown, no one could get through it. The steel mesh that stood there resolutely seemed to be mocking Xiaochuan's ignorance.

Baga! What should I do? Ogawa touched his bare head. There is no special thing in the existing weapons to deal with this thing, so just fill it with human flesh. Ogawa waved his hand and teams of suicide squads rushed last time, pounced on the barbed wire to open a human flesh passage for the backward troops. How could he say that the Japanese nation is perverted and cruel! He is not only cruel to others, but also to his own people. In the eyes of Ogawa, these lower-level soldiers are all numbers. If people are gone, they can be reborn. As long as they win, there are so many women waiting in the empire!

When Ye Zhikui saw the Japanese's sacrificing actions in the telescope, he had to sigh at the "crazy" of the Japanese. They were brainwashed by Bushido, and they were not comparable to those of the Japanese who were brainwashed by film A in later generations.

Fortunately, I still have a back seat, so Ye Zhikui ordered: The sound of cannons sounded.

When more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers stepped on the human passage of more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers and crossed the wire mesh, they thought victory was right in front of them, but they didn't know that what was waiting for them in front was death.

Behind the barbed wire was a deep gully. The Japanese were so happy that they couldn't stop walking. They fell into it one by one. The Japanese who fell in immediately got up and wanted to jump out, but the Japanese all had squid legs, short legs, and they couldn't jump out after jumping for a long time. At this time, they smelled a pungent smell again. When they were surprised, shells rang beside them, and they were immediately blown away so much that human flesh flew everywhere.

Ye Zhikui buried flammable objects in the gully in advance, and they added various seasonings, such as chili powder and mustard seed powder. These things formed deadly poisonous gases with the gas from the fire. According to statistics afterwards, less than 10% of the Japanese were directly killed by the Japanese attack, and only 30% of the Japanese were burned to death, while the other 60% were choked to death by smoke. Ye Zhikui was also the first to attack the poisonous gas bomb.
