Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 129
On the second night after withdrawing from Pyongyang, in a large mountain on the outskirts of Pyongyang.A group of ragged and blood-stained people stepped out, and anyone who saw it under the dim moonlight would be horrified.

"Report to the division commander, the 29th Brigade of the 87th Division is back." A signal soldier reported.

Luo Ming raised his head abruptly, and looked at the communication soldier who came to report: "Are you back? Where are you? Take me to see them."

"Yes."

Under the leadership of the correspondent, Luo Ming came to the division health center and walked up to the unit that had broken through from the encirclement of the two divisions of the Japanese army.Although Luo Ming is a high-achieving student who graduated from the Army University, he has participated in the Sino-Russian border war and the Sino-British Burma war. He is also a battle-hardened veteran. He has seen many fierce battles, but he is still stunned by the scene in front of him. up.

There are 389 people left in the whole brigade from Liu San and below, and there are 3 people left including Liu San and Jiang Fei among the cadres above the battalion.All 389 people were wounded. Deputy brigade commander Jiang Fei's lips were pale, his face was blue, and the military uniform in front of his lower abdomen was dyed a large area of ​​bright red.After seeing Luo Ming coming, they all stood up and gave a standard military salute to Luo Ming.

"Brothers have suffered. Your enmity is the enmity of our expeditionary army, the enmity of our entire Northeast Military Region, and the enmity of our Qing Dynasty. The emperor has ordered a declaration of war against Japan. Your blood will not be shed in vain. Let Xiaoxue pay with blood. You can go back to your country and recuperate at ease, and we will leave the rest to us." Luo Ming said sadly and angrily.

Liu San was covered with thick bandages all over his head, body, and feet, exactly like a newly unearthed mummy.Except for the one above and below the head, which is Jiang Fei's masterpiece, the rest are left on his body.He took a step forward and said, "Report sir, we want to avenge our brothers ourselves. Let us stay."

"Let's stay." Everyone shouted along with Liu San.

Luo Ming saw something in the eyes of these people, something that people who have not experienced the test of life and death and severe blows would not have.It cannot be simply described as anger, but hunger and thirst.A kind of hunger and thirst for the enemy, the kind of hunger and thirst that yearns to eat its flesh and drink its blood.

"I can't decide this, you guys should rest here first, and then make a decision when General Dong arrives!" Luo Ming really didn't want to hit the tortured people in front of him.Looking at the four school stars on Liu San's shoulders that were not covered by bandages, he said, "Are you the commander of the 4th Brigade?"

"Yes." Liu Sanzhan answered straight.

Luo Ming nodded and said, "Let the brothers recover from their wounds, come with me."

"Yes." Liu San gave a standard military salute.

Luo Ming and Liu San walked into the division headquarters slowly. Luo Ming motioned him to sit down, and then said, "What's going on? Why didn't the Japanese army report to the court when they landed in North Korea?"

Liu Sanmeng stood up and said: "Sir, the 87th Brigade was ordered to garrison Jeju Island. No one landed. After receiving the order from the imperial court to deal with the Korean rebellion by itself. When we were about to send troops to Seoul, we found that people had surrounded us. At that time, the telegram It can't be sent out!"

Luo Ming sighed and asked, "Where have you been hiding?"

"Sir, we have been in a big mountain outside Pyongyang. Originally, we wanted to break through the human line of defense and find the North Koreans, so we hid in Pyongyang first. It turned out that Pyongyang was also occupied by the Japanese army. If the officer hadn't taken it back, We will soon be savages in the mountains." Liu San said.

"Okay, go down and rest first." Luo Ming stood up.

"Yes." Liu San turned and left the headquarters.

The news of the 87th brigade's return was immediately sent back to the capital, although Guan Xuqing had already had a premonition in his heart.But in the face of the facts, it is still a bit sad. There are only more than 7000 people left in a brigade of 300 people.Righteous hatred was directly brought to this dimension by later generations, but it is even more serious now.

The three divisions led by Dong Liang finally arrived in Pyongyang. Among them, Fan Tianhao called Liu San to him as soon as he arrived in Pyongyang.

"Damn, what's the matter with you?" Of course, Fan Tianhao didn't have to be so polite when speaking to his old subordinates.

"Teacher, the subordinates are useless. The brothers were all wiped out when they broke through." Liu San said with tears.

Fan Tianhao asked suddenly: "Let me ask you, who fired the first shot after people surrounded you?"

"It was opened when the subordinate broke through." Liu San replied honestly.

"When Lao Tzu's troops left the Northeast, I heard that Li Zhongtang received an envoy from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He said that he wanted to ask my Qing Dynasty's opinion when sending troops to North Korea. Let’s go. But it’s true that you started the war first?”

"Well, that's the way it is, but I definitely don't think so. He surrounded us with two divisions for two full days. He cut off our telegram because he didn't want us to contact the imperial court. I ordered the breakout! "Liu San said nervously.

"Well, I know this. So after you return to China this time, if Li Zhongtang or the emperor asks about it, they will say that someone shot first. Do you understand? Anyway, there is no proof now. You were bitten to death, and someone shot first. Do you understand?" Fan Tianhao knew that this subordinate was honest, so he had to teach him several times to lie.

"This subordinate took orders. But this subordinate will not turn around, and wants to fight devils here and avenge my brothers." Liu San said firmly.

"Your revenge, I will avenge you. Go back to heal your wounds first, and you will fight the battle." Fan Tianhao said without negotiating.

Liu San was so anxious that he was about to cry. He knelt down on the ground with a "plop" and said, "Master, is our 87th Brigade still considered to be the 29th Division's establishment?"

"Even if you are the last person left, it will still count as my 29th Division's establishment. This will never change." Fan Tianhao said.

"The imperial decree of the emperor clearly stated that the expeditionary force is composed of the first division, the seventh division, the No. How about kicking us back to the country?? We should transfer 13 Northeast reserve troops to North Korea to supply my 20th Division. Continue to fight in North Korea.” Liu San said sternly.

Fan Tianhao was also taken aback by what he said, and scolded: "Damn, do you want to rebel? I still need you to teach me how to do it? The establishment of the domestic reserve army (military service) is too short, and the soldiers lack training. Temporarily cannot Replenish it to the army, otherwise it will also reduce the combat effectiveness of the army. You should go back to heal your wounds, follow the imperial court's arrangement to replenish your troops, and come back early."

"Master, when we broke through the siege, we found the roads leading to Seoul and Jeju Island in the mountains for several days. The mountains were full of fog, and the Japanese army could not fortify every road in the mountains no matter how many troops there were. Let me be the director again. The general’s pioneer. I don’t want to add soldiers, just treat me as a battalion. Even if I am the battalion commander, I will not go.” Liu San knocked his head on the ground, and the wound that had just healed began to bleed again up.

"You..." Fan Tianhao couldn't bear to refuse him any longer, and he silently agreed to this man's request in his heart, saying: "You go back first, I want to discuss this matter with General Dong."

"Teacher, you agreed? I'll tell my brothers right now." Liu San was crying like hell just now, but now he smiled brightly.

Fan Tianhao scolded angrily: "Fuck off, who the hell agreed to you? Just to discuss and discuss, it may not work! Also, report the number of seriously injured in your brigade, how many people can continue to fight?" ?”

"Yes, yes, I'll go back and count right away." Liu San ran out after speaking.
