After a round of artillery bombing, the 10th Japanese Brigade suffered heavy casualties and was unable to attack. The commander of the regiment commander was only kneeling down and crying and begging Ogawa to replace him.

Seeing that the 10th Brigade had basically cleared the barbed wire and filled the gullies, Ogawa removed it and replaced it with the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division. What kind of unit is the 3rd Division? It is the unit that has notoriously participated in the Nanjing Massacre in the future.

The 5th Brigade recently entered the North Korea with a strong morale. The brigade commander, Major General Naomin Oma, is a Japanese Satsuma Samurai. He has a simple personality and strong personality. To put it bluntly, he is a simple mind and has developed limbs. He is the same type of person as Wu Dashan. He was a personal soldier of Meiji. Because he was tall and mighty, it was rumored that he had an injustice to Meiji.

The purpose of the Ogawa Sect is already very clear, that is, to fight Ye Zhikui to the end, no longer play any conspiracies with you, and to just use people to kill you.

Dama Shangmin divided the two corpses of the 5th Brigade into two groups to attack Ye Zhikui, attacking the bridgehead on the south bank of the Datong River, and bypassing the bridgehead along the way, attempting to directly attack the Datong Sect in Pyongyang City through the floating bridge.

This time the Japanese army came in full force, and Major General Damasa Shangmin personally supervised the battle. The corps captains of the two regiments personally led the charge, and the battle situation suddenly became fierce.

The eight fortresses of Jiangnan Bridgehead were stationed at the Tiger Battalion led by Wu Xiujie. When Wu Xiujie saw the Japanese army rushing towards him like locusts, he was not afraid at all. He ordered the soldiers not to shoot randomly and to fight when the Japanese approached.

When the Japanese army advanced to the low ground near the fortress, the Thirteenth Mauser of the Tiger Battalion fired a spear suddenly, and the missiles suddenly came like heavy rain. The Japanese detachment captain was commanding, and suddenly a bullet flew over and hit the forehead, and he died immediately. Seeing that the Japanese army was about to lose its power, the Japanese corps captain personally pulled out his command knife, shouted a killing gift, and took the lead in charge. At this time, the Rishan cannon position repeatedly fired a shrapnel bullet and continued to hit the Tiger Camp position.

Ye Zhikui stood at the Zhuque Gate and saw that the situation in Jiangnan was critical and it was only a matter of time before he was captured. There was a Japanese attack on the floating bridge, so he could not provide timely support. He ordered artillery fire support and sent ships to rescue and retreat. At this time, the Nan'an Huzi Battalion had already taught the enemy enough lessons. If he defended, the entire army might be destroyed. As Ye Zhikui's ace starting force, he would not have allowed this to happen.

The Japanese wing that attacked the pontoon bridge suffered the biggest loss since joining the war. The reason why Ye Zhikui did not blow up the pontoon bridge was to wait for the time being that the Japanese army was not easy to unfold on this small pontoon bridge, so he had to attack one team and one team. Ye Zhikui ordered people to arrange three arc-shaped defensive circles composed of foxgloves on the north bank of the pontoon bridge. Foxgloves are ring-shaped protective fortifications that protect individuals. For enemy light weapons firepower, shells and shrapnel can provide excellent protection to personnel. These foxgloves can only be contacted through traffic trenches. Once people in the foxgloves are injured or killed, the soldiers behind can immediately go to treat and guard.

The captain of the regiment watched his squad disappear one by one and fell on the bridge, and his heart was extremely anxious, but he could do nothing. He was extremely irritated and saw a ship suddenly floating across the shore from the river. After a closer look, he found that the Qing army on the south bank of the Yangtze River was about to retreat. The captain of the regiment immediately suspended the offensive of the floating bridge and touched the tiger battalion from the side.

Wu Xiujie occasionally found that the enemy was surrounded from both sides. He understood the enemy's intentions and knew that the situation was critical and someone must stay to block the attack. Otherwise, after being surrounded and annihilated, the entire army would be destroyed. So he ordered other troops to retreat first without hesitation, but he led three teams of troops to defend the fortress to win time for the retreating army.

The Japanese army relied on its large number of people and powerful forces to attack the Nanban Fortress. In the fortress, Wu Xiujie led the rest of the Huzi Camp to resist. The two sides fought hand in hand, and eventually they were outnumbered and all died in battle. They even shouted to kill the Japanese pirates before their death. When Ye Zhikui got the news, he remained silent for a long time. Wu Xiujie was undoubtedly the general he valued the most, otherwise he would not hand over his ace troops to him. Unfortunately, it was lost to this.

Ye Zhikui, who was crazy, was terrifying and ordered the artillery to pour dozens of shells into Jiangnan Bridgehead. As soon as the 300 Japanese army occupied the place, they were not even too late to celebrate, and they were blown into minced meat.

Ye Zhikui's Tiger Warrior Army can be said to be the most powerful unit of artillery among the Qing army. Not only did it have the largest number of artillery, but it also had the strongest personnel quality. Before, Ye Zhikui studied in Germany as an artillery student. Therefore, he attached great importance to artillery before. Now Ye Zhikui teaches artillery techniques learned in Germany and learned in later generations to the artillery team. When other units also used artillery as auxiliary units, Ye Zhikui had already carried out joint operations of infantry and artillery.

The Japanese army attacking the floating bridge was blocked. The Japanese corpses were everywhere on the floating bridge. The other end of the bridge was bombed by Japanese artillery fire. But even so, whenever the Japanese army launched another attack, gunfire would sound again. The Japanese army, who did not understand the situation, thought Ye Zhikui's troops were troops that could not be killed. In fact, several people had been replaced in the fox pit.

At around 2:30 pm, Ogawa saw that the bombs were exhausted and the troops had not eaten all day, so he ordered the attack to stop and evacuate the battlefield. Seeing that the enemy was quite regular in retreat, Ye Zhikui did not order to pursue him when he saw that the enemy was retreating in a manner, but he had few people.

In one morning, more than 3,000 Japanese troops attacking Ye Zhikui's troops died, and Ye Zhikui's losses were much smaller. In addition to the Huzi Battalion defending the south bank, which was severely damaged and suffered more than 300 casualties, other casualties were either injured by bombs, or stray bullets on the back, and very few were hit by the Japanese army in the front. However, Ye Zhikui's shells were consumed too much, so he had to cry in front of Ye Zhichao and transferred the artillery fire from other battalions.

The troops in Shanxian led the troops to attack the Xipujiang River in Pyongyang, and the defenders here were veteran Zuo Baogui and the fierce general Ma Yukun. Both of them were well-versed in battle and were well-defended, not giving the Japanese a chance to take advantage of the situation. It was not until noon that the two sides were hurting each other, and the battle became fierce until the afternoon. When the Japanese commander, Shanxian, saw that Ogawa was frustrated, he ordered a death charge to take down the Ximen without any cost. The Japanese army became furious and wanted to kill them. Once, all the fortresses outside the west of the city were captured and occupied, threatening the inner city of Pyongyang. Ye Zhichao hurriedly sent Lü Benyuan to support, which stabilized the front line under the city. The two Japanese troops at the same time could not attack for a while, so they rested and waited for tomorrow.

That night, Ye Zhichao summoned all the generals to discuss the defense. Ye Zhikui sat aside because he died in battle during the day and let everyone discuss it. At this time, a timid and afraid of death proposed to withdraw from Pyongyang. Zuo Baogui was very angry and cursed, "If you cherish your death, you can go by yourself, this city is my tomb." He firmly expressed his determination to live and die with Pyongyang.

Ye Zhikui couldn't bear it, and got angry on the spot, stood up and said, "Today, the fierce battle between Pyongyang is mainly based on my Ye Zhikui and Zuo Shuai. The other Japanese troops are all feinting attacks. I, Ye Zhikui, have not even said to retreat yet. What courage do you have to dare to retreat?"

Ye Zhikui put his revolver on the table and said, "Who wants to retreat? Ask me first the gun in Ye Zhikui's hand." Everyone was silent, and the person who proposed to retreat was also humiliated and lowered his head.

Ye Zhichao sat on the top and saw Ye Zhikui being excited when he saw that he was too upright and was afraid of offending everyone. He said, "Okay, Congyun, this is just a suggestion. Everyone can speak freely. Please tell me your opinion."

Ye Zhikui was silent for a moment, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said in a shocking voice: "As far as I see today, the Japanese army's military front was frustrated, suffered heavy losses and had little ammunition, which led to the inability to attack our Tiger Warriors in the afternoon. Except for the Zuo Shuai, our army suffered heavy losses, the losses of other units were insignificant. Therefore, we should not only not retreat tonight, but also attack at night and defeat the Japanese in one fell swoop. A real man made great achievements in this way. As for success or failure, the profit and dullness are not necessary to take it seriously for the time being."

Ye Zhikui said this reason. First of all, his Iron-blooded Thirteen Eagles have developed rapidly. Although there are still relatively few core personnel, the peripheral members have spread in North Korea at a terrifying speed like a pyramid scheme model. From the 90-year-old Korean woman to the children wearing open-crotch pants, as long as the news of the Japanese army is true, they will be given rewards as small as a candied haws to a few taels of silver. The butcher and the Seoul Li Ying have also secretly contacted each other. Therefore, in Ye Zhikui's eyes, the Japanese army is no different from the stripped prostitute, and they can clearly understand it. Knowing that the Japanese army is weak in the future and lacks ammunition and food, Ye Zhikui is now just trying to get on. Of course, he will not be foolish in playing the vanguard, so he must let other troops bleed.
