Nakata Jiro's regiment was an elite regiment of the new Japanese army. It was made up of brave and skilled Choshu soldiers, totaling more than 800 people.
According to reliable sources, the Qing army had already sent a troop to Koryo, and the landing point was at Inchon.
The order he received was that if he discovered the Qing army, he must put pressure on them to make them retreat. At the very least, he had to slow down the pace of the Qing army so that the imperial army had enough time to prepare. If necessary, they could strike to show the attitude of the Japanese Imperial Army.
"Baka! I want to let these Chinese pigs know how powerful we are!”
Nakata Jiro was really confused by such an ambiguous order. What kind of delay and attack could show the attitude of the Imperial Army? Was it just a few random shots? Or kill all those people?
However, he quickly left the Third Brigade led by Yamamoto Netake and headed west.
All of the Japanese soldiers had switched to Murata rifles. This was the first modern Japanese rifle.
After the Meiji Restoration, all of Japan's industries were heavily focused on the military industry, resulting in a deformed economic structure.
The Murata Rifle was designed to imitate the German 1871 Mauser Rifle, and it had been improved. Other than the high scrap rate, it was not inferior to other rifles in active service in Britain and France. It was much more advanced than the guns commonly used by the Qing army.
Therefore, he was very confident.
half a day later
Yamamoto Shinichi's team was already searching ahead.
"Baka! After walking for so long, they didn't even see a single Qing soldier!“
When Yamamoto Shin saw a stone bridge in front of him, he sat down and scolded while panting.
"Xin Yijun, I think those Chinese pigs won't dare to come!“
A soldier quickly handed over a water bottle and smiled charmingly.
"Humph! When the empire took down Korea, they would occupy the entire China!“
Yamamoto Shinichi said angrily. Japan was an island nation, and their only way out was to occupy a continent rich in resources.
The idea of occupying the entire Huaxia had long taken root in Hideyoshi's heart, and it had even taken root in the hearts of the entire nation.
As soon as they appeared, a few Qing scouts quickly lowered their heads and retreated through the dense weeds.
"Reporting, Master! Three kilometers ahead, the Japanese vanguard was spotted. There were 50 people in each squad! There was still a regiment behind them! There were less than a thousand people!“
Yuan Shikai, who was marching, received a report from the sentinel. Due to the complicated terrain ahead, they could only see the movements of the Japanese after crossing the hill. As a result, the main forces of both sides could not see each other.
"Alright, alright! The heavens are really helping me! Feng Guozhang! Take your men and eat this group of people. If one of them escapes, I'll kill you! I only want dead people, understand?"
Yuan Shikai was overjoyed. He had thought that he would only be able to face the Japanese when he reached Han City, but who knew that he would encounter them now.
He remembered Wang Guangxu's words. Wherever the sword pointed, the people were pigs, so this time, the big shot and the Japanese were pigs.
"Yes, sir! 1st Battalion, follow me. 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion, flank us! Eat the entire alliance, and if one of you runs away, you don't have to come back!”
Feng Guozhang shouted excitedly and gave the order to the three battalion commanders. Then, he waved his hand and ran forward.
"Eh!"
Yuan Shikai was speechless. Originally, he only wanted to take down the vanguard team, but after thinking about it, he didn't stop Feng Guozhang. He had quite a few three-inch cannons, and even a dozen four-inch cannons. It was enough to deal with these Japanese soldiers. As for the larger six-inch and eight-inch cannons, they were too cumbersome, so he hadn't brought them over yet.
Feng Guozhang took the initiative and quickly spread out, setting up a pocket in the direction of the Japanese army. The 2nd and 3rd Battalions also moved towards the rear of the Japanese army.
"Fight!"
Seeing that almost everyone was in position, Feng Guozhang immediately ordered.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
A series of gunshots rang out from the left and right, and the twenty or so people on the outermost perimeter of Yamamoto's team fell directly.
"Lie down, all of you lie down!"
Shinichi Yamamoto shouted loudly. The intensity of the fighting was quite terrifying. There were at least hundreds of people. If it weren't for the bridge blocking them, most of them would not be able to stand after one round.
When did the Qing army's guns become so powerful? He could hit it from so far away!“
"Get Nakata-kun to bring reinforcements!“
Shinichi Yamamoto organized his men to fight back as he spoke to the signalman. The ferocity of the Qing army's firepower really shocked him.
Fortunately, the bridge in front of them was a little narrow, and the other side had no intention of charging. Although they were beaten until they could not raise their heads, the Qing army had not rushed over yet.
