Chapter seventy-ninth vote
"North Korean Rebel Army?" Army General Yoshihara Oshima was shocked when he heard this answer. He knew about the North Korean Rebel Army, and he had fought with the North Korean Rebel Army more than once. (eng.com) He was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the North Korean Rebel Army.
At that time, an infantry squad (50-70 people) of the Oshima Division drove more than 1,000 rebels to run away with their heads. Now the Yamazaki brigade stationed in Pyongyang is a complete system and has a total force of more than 1,400. Moreover, the Yamazaki brigade participated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and has rich combat experience. Even if it encounters the Chinese Army with the same force, it will not suffer such a big loss.
In the heavily guarded command center, the captain of a brigade was assassinated quietly, and even the four squadron leaders were killed and injured. However, under such a huge loss, he did not even touch the enemy's hair.
If it weren't for the soldiers of Yamazaki's brigade that had eaten shit, then the enemy's combat power was too strong!
Army general Yoshihara Oshima called a wounded lieutenant captain and asked, "Do you see the enemy clearly?"
The injured lieutenant had an arm hanging around his neck. When he saw the division commander ask him, he immediately lowered his head and returned: "Report to the division commander, we only had a brief fifteen-minute exchange of fire with them. Their firepower was extremely powerful and their marksmanship was accurate. Captain Yamazaki died under the gun of their snipers. There were only dozens of people. After the captain and several squadron leaders died one after another, when we reported it, they immediately retreated without any desire to fight. They retreated very quickly and fled directly into the mountainous areas. Since the commander was no longer there, we were afraid of falling into the enemy's trap, so we did not continue to pursue. During the exchange of fire with them, they were wearing the clothes of the North Korean rebel army!"
"Baga!" Army General Yoshima Oshima was furious: "A brigade can even dozens of people break into the Central Army Command to assassinate the commander. Are your soldiers all muddy?"
The injured second lieutenant kept silent. If he defended himself when the division commander was angry, wouldn't he begging for trouble?
After venting his anger in his heart, Army General Yoshihara Oshima said, "I will send a new commander to take over Yamazaki Battalion immediately. You all give me a warning. I will arrive in Pyongyang in person. I want to see how powerful the North Korean rebel army is now!"
The injured team leader quickly bowed: "Hi!"
After everyone stepped down, Army General Yoshima Oshima paced around the command center alone, constantly guessing about the incident this time in his mind.
I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as imagined. Perhaps the Chinese Army has sent some elite troops to sneak into North Korea. Those "North Korean Rebels" with strong combat effectiveness are likely to be pretended by the Chinese Army. Now it seems that Hirahachiro Togo's words are not alarmist.
Army General Yoshima Oshima has also carefully studied many battle examples of the Chinese Army, one of which is very similar to the attacks that occurred in Yamazaki Brigade.
It was during the Chinese Civil War that the Russians sent 50,000 troops to march south to help Yuan Shikai encircle and suppress Tang Jian's National Revolutionary Army. The Russian commander at that time was Witt. Yoshihara Oshima had a relationship with him when he was in Chunfan Building, Maguan, Japan.
Yoshima Oshima heard that when Vite was about to march into Jingzhou, he suddenly encountered heavy rain, so he camped in a small mountain village not far from Jingzhou to rest. Early the next morning, half of the commanders of the 50,000 Russian army were assassinated, and no one of the 50,000 Russian troops discovered it.
The mysterious unit of China was like a ghost in the dark. After a strange appearance took away his life, it disappeared mysteriously. It seemed that China sent this mysterious unit to North Korea.
Humph! Oshima Yoshima sneered. From the several battle examples, it can be seen that although this mysterious unit has strong combat effectiveness, the number of people is probably not large. Otherwise, the civil war in China would not have to be fought for several years. I guess they might be mingling with the North Korean rebels at this time.
A small army dares to enter North Korea? So what if it is strong in combat? Faced with the siege of tens of thousands of troops, they cannot fly even if they have wings.
Oshima Yoshihara's strategy is very obvious, that is, to use the human sea tactic to kill this mysterious small force in North Korea!
"Come!" Oshima Yoshima ordered.
"Secretary Commander, what are the instructions?" A Japanese lieutenant came in.
"Find out which North Korean rebel army is near Pyongyang, and report to me immediately after finding out their exact location!" Oshima Yoshima said with a grim smile. Since this army attacked the Yamazaki Brigade and despised the authority of the Imperial Japanese Army, let them taste the revenge of the Imperial Army, find this North Korean rebel army that has connections with China, and then use their heads to pay tribute to the dead officers.
"Hi!" the Japanese lieutenant replied respectfully.
……………………………….
Pyongyang, North Korea, in a mountainous area.
The North Korean rebels were mainly distributed in the north, more in the south. Because the Japanese army's main force was south of Mount Kwang, the rebels in the south were suppressed by the Japanese army and fled to the north with empty Japanese troops. In the mountains in the north, they continued to fight against the Japanese army with the most primitive weapons.
Among the northern rebels, there was the largest rebel army, with a total of 100,000 people, most of which were concentrated in the mountainous areas near Pyongyang, relying on the high mountains and dense forests to mediate and resist the Japanese stubbornly.
Choi Jingen, the leader of this rebel army, was one of the believers of Dongxuedao (the former Dongxue Party member). After the failure of Jeonju and the failure of the uprising, Choi Jingen fled into the mountains with his remnants and continued to fight against the North Korean government.
However, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and the Japanese and Russians controlled the southern and northern regions of North Korea respectively. Cui Jingen immediately changed the program of the uprising. The first thing for the rebel army was to expel foreign humiliation. Now Russia has been expelled, leaving only Japan.
Under Choi Jingen's call, nearly 200,000 North Korean rebels unanimously opposed the guns to the outside world, and wanted to crush Japan's ambition to completely annex Korea.
At the same time, Choi Jinge-eun temporarily gave up his former revenge and began to contact the people of the Korean royal family, and begged the North Korean king to help the rebel army resist the Japanese army.
The King of North Korea readily agreed to secretly support the rebel army during the period when Japan controlled North Korea. After North Korea and China reached an agreement, China sent the lone wolf to this rebel army, and the first batch of supported weapons and ammunition will also secretly equip the rebel army.
When Wang Jianchuan led the Lone Wolf to land from Nanpu Port, he directly found Choi Jingen. However, Choi Jingen thought that China would send a large army to support North Korea, but he did not expect that after meeting, he found that it was only a small army with only 200 people. Choi Jingen immediately looked down on Wang Jianchuan and had no good expression on the Lone Wolf.
In order to gain Choi Jingen's trust and support, Wang Jianchuan made a letter of controversy with Choi Jingen, using the head of a Japanese brigade captain stationed in Pyongyang to show the combat effectiveness of the lone wolf.
However, Wang Jianchuan sent that squad to Pyongyang for five days, and there is no news yet. Choi Jingen doesn't believe that a squad with more than 50 people can enter the city of Pyongyang, which is heavily guarded, and can also kill the captain of Yamazaki who is stationed in Pyongyang.
Before, when the rebels and the Japanese army faced each other, they often specially selected those Japanese army who were single or had weak combat power to start. Before each move, they fully investigated the enemy's situation and used ten times the Japanese army's strength to dare to take action. Of course, the rebels would suffer huge losses every time, and the gains were not very big. On the one hand, it was because the rebels' equipment was backward, and on the other hand, the rebels were too dispersed and their combat quality was not high.
Therefore, when Choi Jingen heard that Wang Jianchuan was going to use a team of fifty people to kill Captain Yamazaki, Choi Jingen sneered at that time, and Wang Jianchuan laughed without saying a word.
In the base camp of the rebel army, Cui Jingen looked at Wang Jianchuan with a sarcastic look and said, "Captain Wang, don't talk big. It's been five days, but your team has no news at all. I'm afraid that it's completely wiped out by Yamazaki's brigade before it has entered the city, right?"
Wang Jianchuan smiled and said, "Captain Cui, you don't have to worry too much. At their speed, you should be able to return today!"
Cui Jingen still didn't believe it. Looking at Wang Jianchuan's calm smile, Cui Jingen suspected that Wang Jianchuan was pretending.
At this moment, one of Cui Jingen's subordinates hurriedly ran in and said, "Report to the leader, the small army is back, no one is injured! He is carrying a few bloody heads in his hand."
"Ah?" Cui Jingen said in surprise: "Take me to see!" Cui Jingen was shocked. Could this army really have such strong combat power?
Wang Jianchuan followed Cui Jingen with a smile. In the square, the company commander of the second company, Ma Rushan, had already been waiting outside.
Wang Jianchuan asked: "Second Company Commander, how did the mission be completed?"
Ma Rushan said expressionlessly that several of his men threw the heads in their hands on the ground, and several human skulls were thrown in the center of the square. All the rebels present made a sound of amazement. The heads were covered with blood and could no longer see their original appearance, but the military cap on the head was obviously from the Japanese army.
Ma Rushan was afraid that Cui Jingen would not believe it, so he threw a Japanese saber on the ground.
Choi Jingen, who was a little suspicious of the head, believed it thoroughly this time. If the head and the Japanese military cap could be faked, then this assistant sword could not be forged, because these command swords are symbols of the identity of the Japanese commander and have always been carried with them. It seems that one of the heads is from Captain Yamazaki.
Ma Rushan said: "I originally wanted to kill this gang leader alone, but when I met several other squadron leaders, I brought them back together."
Wang Jianchuan turned around and said to Cui Jingen, "Chief Cui, how about it? You should be satisfied with this letter of fame!"
