Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Yoshihiro Shibano in Pyongyang City had discovered the Qing army a few kilometers away from Pyongyang at this time. According to scouts, the Qing army probably had less than 5000 people. Yoshihiro Shibano judged that the Qing army was going to attack Pyongyang City. He knew The Qing army must have been fully prepared to go back and forth this time, so they did not attack rashly.

Yoshihiro Shibano couldn't contact the base camp. These days, he was anxious like ants on a hot pot. He wanted to cross the Yalu River, but unfortunately there was not enough food, grass and ammunition. He wanted to retreat to Seoul, but he didn't dare.Seeing the troops of the Qing army coming to attack today, we can only defend Pyongyang first.

So on the entire battlefield, the only place where they confront each other is the Peony Terrace.

More than a thousand Japanese soldiers surrounded Mudantai and attacked from the south slope.

The slope is more than 1000 meters long, and the bottom of the slope was originally densely forested. During the Battle of Pyongyang, many trees were broken and scorched. Even so, these trees became a barrier for the Japanese troops to hide and cover.

Fade Chen carried out Lin Yuan's order: to attract the enemy, and then the Qing army moved by Lin Yuan annihilated the enemy, so he did not let the Qing army in the fort bombard Pyongyang City.

At a distance of 800 meters from the fort, the dark blue uniforms of the Japanese army appeared and disappeared in the sparse forest. Fade Chen ordered the gunners of the Qing army to fire.

These captured Qing soldiers were often bullied by the Japanese army. As soon as they heard the order, they acted quickly, measured the distance, and adjusted the gun position. Prepare for rounds of accurate strikes.

Of course, the Japanese soldiers in the woods also understood this. They knew that the precise artillery fire was coming soon, but they were not afraid, because the rate of fire of the artillery was very low. The next shot, and can also predict the landing point according to the sound of the shell, and avoid it in time.

Nine 9mm artillery pieces fired first, and the shells whizzed towards the woods where the Japanese army was located. The shells of the Qing army exploded in the air above the woods, and the dense shrapnel fell like raindrops, and the broken branches and leaves were knocked off the ground. , All the Japanese soldiers hid behind the trees one after another, so they did not cause many casualties.

At this time, the Japanese army accelerated their marching speed, and it took only 400 minutes from their position to the 3 meters between the spaces. During these 3 minutes, the artillery fired more than a dozen times, killing and wounding more than 100 Japanese soldiers.

Before the Japanese army approached the 400-meter open space, they were preparing to launch a charge here. During the Battle of Pyongyang, the reason why the Japanese army was able to attack the fort was that after occupying the outer fort, they used the heavy artillery there to break the wall, and swarmed through the gap. But now, the heavy artillery of the outer fortress has been destroyed by carrier-based aircraft, so the Japanese army took up the ladder and prepared to climb the wall.

Fade Chen on the fort saw the Japanese army resisting the ladder, and felt funny in his heart. This scene reminded him of the costume movies he had seen. At this time, he gave the order to attack. At a distance of 400 meters, one person was just one person. Small black spots, so the assault rifles in the hands of the marines are difficult to use. At this distance, the machine gun is the most deadly weapon.

Fade Chen considered that the Japanese army would take advantage of the numbers to launch a charge, so he brought all the machine guns in the hands of the marines on the Beijing ship, three 12.7mm heavy machine guns, and 12 7.62mm light machine guns, forming a formation along the fortress wall. A line of firepower, the Japanese army had just rushed up, but was suppressed by the dense rain of bullets, and after dropping a large number of dead bodies, they retreated hastily.

The soldiers of the Qing army took advantage of this gap to come to the emplacement of the 250mm heavy artillery. These artillery were used by the Japanese army to bomb Pyongyang after occupying Mudantai. Unexpectedly, they have now become the ghosts of the Japanese army themselves!

The Japanese troops in the city were brutally bombarded. Yoshihiro Shibano immediately ordered to assemble more than [-] people including the Ninth Mixed Brigade and the Tenth Infantry Brigade, and seize Mudantai at all costs!

At this time, Mudantai has 60 marines and 40 gunners of the Qing army, a total of 100 people. They are about to fight against an enemy forty times their own!

Fade Chen in the fortress counted the amount of ammunition. Half of the machine gun ammunition was consumed in the round of battle just now, and the rifle ammunition was not consumed. Even so, Fade Chen in the fortress did not panic. After all, they had the greatest advantage, the sky, they Air support can be called at any time, and their combat goal is to lure the Japanese army to dispatch, with Mudantai as the center, to annihilate the enemy.

When the large Japanese army surrounded them like ants, Fade Chen couldn't help but wonder why the Qing soldiers led by the captain didn't attack.

How could Chen Fei know that something unexpected happened to Lin Yuan!

When Lin Yuan saw the Japanese troops dispatched, he was about to persuade Ye Zhichao to send troops. At this time, a telegram from the Qing court came, ordering Ye Zhichao to stop all military operations and retreat to a safe place, because the Qing court was preparing to negotiate peace with Japan!

The Japanese base camp has not been idle since the United Fleet lost contact. They are looking around for the whereabouts of the United Fleet while actively thinking about countermeasures. The whereabouts of the United Fleet have not been found out here, and the connection with the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula has also been cut off. Yes, although the Japanese could not imagine the arrival of an aircraft carrier, they knew that they should stop fighting with the Qing court.

So the Japanese, through the British envoy, sent a request for peace talks to Li Hongzhang, Governor of Zhili, Minister of Beiyang Commerce and University of Wenhuadian.

Li Hongzhang did not dare to be negligent, and immediately reported to the Queen Mother, Lafayette, who was preparing for her [-]th birthday. Naturally, she did not want to celebrate her birthday when there was still a war at the door of the house. The rumors were that the official Weng Tonghe and others saw the Japanese and asked for peace, thinking that the celestial dynasty His prestige has already made the barbarians surrender, and they all agree with peace talks.

So Li Hongzhang sent a telegram to Ye Zhichao to stop all military operations.Lin Yuan actually didn't know that Ye Zhichao also had his own plan, that is, he had received a secret report that Song Qing's troops set off from Lushun by boat and crossed the Yellow Sea. They did not enter North Korea through Dadonggou, the mouth of the Yalu River, but directly Datong Jiangkou, in this way, Song Qing came much faster than expected, Ye Zhichao didn't want his hard work to be picked up by others.

Ye Zhichao's refusal to send troops was fine, but something that worried Lin Yuan even more happened—dark clouds had accumulated in the sky, and they were getting thicker and thicker.

Lin Yuan hurriedly ordered the helicopter on the ship to take off to pick up the marines and the Qing army in the fortress. Just after the order was issued, there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and it began to rain heavily!

The dark clouds make people on the ground impenetrable. This cloud layer is only 0 meters above the ground. At this altitude, the plane is absolutely afraid to fly, because the airflow near the ground is very unstable. Stall, then there is only a crash of the machine and death.What's more, it is still raining heavily, making it even more difficult for the plane to fly.

At this moment, gunfire rang out from the Japanese positions!

The Japanese army launched more than a dozen artillery pieces and launched an artillery attack on the main fortress of Mudantai.

Where did these guns come from?After the Battle of Pyongyang, an artillery squadron of the Japanese army cherished its equipment very much. In order to prevent the artillery from being exposed to sunlight, it cut down a lot of branches and built a shed for the artillery. These branches hit the ground by mistake. It played the role of modern camouflage. Since the Beijing ship's reconnaissance of Pyongyang City mainly relied on visible light photography, these artillery pieces were actually omitted.

For Chen Fei and the others in Mudantai, their biggest advantage is that air strikes no longer exist. First of all, they cannot find the artillery positions of the Japanese army, because the radar of our air police 00 early warning aircraft works in the l-band, that is, 15-30 cm band, this band can't complete the mapping of equipment the size of the artillery, and they can't use the laser designator to indicate the direction for the air force, because the heavy rain and thick clouds will absorb a lot of laser energy.

The J-25, which can barely complete the reconnaissance and mapping, the active phased array radar of this fighter works in the 3 cm band, but because of the heavy rain, it cannot carry out reconnaissance and mapping.

Facing the Japanese infantry, the carrier-based aircraft were also helpless, because they were too close to the marines. Without laser guidance equipment, the aerial bombs had a considerable chance of falling on the marines' heads.

A shell from the Japanese army landed next to the 250mm heavy artillery. The shrapnel of the high-explosive grenade detonated the shells piled aside in an instant. The deafening noise made everyone's heart tremble. Lost half of it.

Fade Chen's body was covered with mud and water. He looked at the densely packed Japanese army, turned his head to look at his subordinates, and shouted: "Brothers, from the moment we stepped onto the helicopter, we were doomed to be surrounded, doomed We have to rely on the guns in our hands to kill the bleeding! Brothers, shoot down the little devils! Nanking's revenge! 1000 years of debt, let's forget it together today!"

The marines and the soldiers of the Qing army shouted together, welcoming the most tragic battle!
