Chapter 277 Japan and Russia exchange fire

Due to the tense situation, there were more than 200 soldiers stationed in the Japanese Embassy in Seoul. They were patrolling back and forth with live ammunition, and time slowly entered late at night.

Three Japanese patrol personnel at the main entrance wrapped their coats, shivered a few times, and stamped their feet.

One of the Japanese soldiers complained: "In the past, all these things were left to the North Koreans, but now we have to do them. I want to say that we can only use strong forces to deal with the North Koreans."

Before the Jin Hongji cabinet collapsed, the Japanese army only needed to rest quietly at the base, and the patrols on the periphery were left to the North Koreans. Now that the Jin Hongji cabinet collapsed, he himself was exiled to Jeju Island, so even some miscellaneous things had to be taken by the Japanese in person.

"This is all good things done by the damn Russians, otherwise the empire would have controlled North Korea long ago." Another Japanese army replied indignantly.

The few people still wanted to continue talking and heard a rustling sound from the dark corner not far away.

"Who?" Several Japanese picked up the Shunta rifle and stared at the place with caution.

"The one who killed you." A cold reply came from the darkness, followed by several gunshots.

Bang bang..., a few gunshots seemed particularly crisp in the darkness, and several Japanese people had no time to react and fell to the ground.

The gunshots were like signal flares, and the prelude to the attack sounded. After these gunshots, a striking shout suddenly sounded around the Japanese embassy.

"Kill the Japanese!"

"Avenge the mother of the nation!"

When the Japanese soldiers guarding the embassy heard the shouts outside the door, they immediately defended themselves. The resting soldiers also quickly got up in panic, grabbed their rifles and ran out the door.

Bang bang, in the darkness, sparks at the muzzle flashed from time to time, and one or two shots were extremely accurate, both of which were in the chests of Japanese people.

Although the Japanese army was attacked, they were not panicked because they believed that they could withstand a night with their high walls and courtyards, while the Japanese garrison was stationed at the Gwanghwa Gate, Seoul, not far from the embassy.

However, this magical shooting technique caused them a lot of trouble. From time to time, Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground and could never get up again. Although there were countless Koreans in the dark, there were only a few thousand people who could hear the shouts. If the Koreans broke through the defense line, it would be enough to overwhelm the Japanese with the number of people.

Boom, just as the Japanese army was worried, a shocking explosion suddenly sounded at the walls of the back door of the embassy, ​​and white lights soaring into the sky flashed across Seoul.

Not good, North Koreans have used **.

In the room, Komura Sutaro had just lie down and woke up from the gunshots. When he finished his clothes and was about to go out, the shocking sound came.

"Kill the Japanese." Countless angry Koreans rushed in from the gap and fought with the Japanese without hesitation.

As soon as Xiaocun went out, he saw such a chaotic situation. A Japanese lieutenant who was commanding the battle ran over in panic.

"Your Excellency, the Koreans are in the darkness. I don't know how many of them are. They are using new firearms. The soldiers may not be able to resist them. Please, under my escort, you will first go to the Guanghuamen Emperor's Team's headquarters to avoid it. After dawn tomorrow, we will lead our troops to deal with them."

As the village walked, he asked calmly: "Who is attacking?"

"If you want to go back to your lord, it should be done by the so-called Korean soldiers who resisted the empire. But judging by their dense plans and advanced weapons, I'm afraid there are other countries behind it." The lieutenant of the devil said without hesitation without thinking.

"Russian!" Komura Sutaro said coldly.

Although most of the Japanese army retreated from North Korea, there was still a large army of more than 1,000 people stationed here. However, the name was changed to be called the garrison and helped the Koreans train their troops. Unfortunately, this work was almost stolen by the Russians.

The Japanese captain, Major Ishi Akira Kuroda, was also awakened by the sound of explosions that built the whole city. He hurriedly ordered someone to go and investigate, while summoning officers of all sizes and big and small.

When Kuroda Ishi Akira came to the staff room, all other Japanese officers were already here.

"Your Excellency, gunshots and cannons are coming from our embassy area. Could it be that the embassy of the Empire was attacked?" an officer said worriedly.

"Master, I think we should send troops immediately to prevent accidents." Another Japanese officer stood up and said loudly in a hurry.

Japanese clerk Zuo Kaichiro stopped him and said, "The situation is not clear now. I believe that the staff of embassy in various countries have heard the sound of gunfire. If we send troops quickly at this time, if it causes misunderstandings from other countries, the development of things will be in an unpredictable direction. Besides, the Imperial Embassy has more than 200 soldiers guarding it, so there should be no problem in protecting the safety of embassy personnel."

Seeing that the officers under Kuroda were arguing, he couldn't help but stand up and come and walk anxiously in the staff room. The soldiers he sent to check the situation had not come back to report. Now everyone is guessing what happened, but they don't know.

At this moment, a rapid knock came from outside the door.

"Report to the Lord Major, we met soldiers who escaped from the Imperial Embassy halfway." The soldiers outside the door reported loudly.

"What, the embassy was attacked!"

"Your Excellency, we will send troops to rescue the embassy staff immediately and protect their safety."

When the officers in the staff room heard this, they stood up in anger.

Kuroda Ishi Aki's face also darkened. Bad guesses have become reality, but he still remembers the soldiers outside the door.

"Come in quickly and tell me the details."

Kuroda Ishi Aki's words also made other Japanese officers stop restless.

Two soldiers walked in quickly, holding a soldier covered in blood.

"Your Excellency, please send troops to rescue Komura Jun quickly. The embassy was besieged by the Koreans. Although there is no problem for the time being, we also found that among these Koreans, there must be Russians. The Russians inciting the Koreans to attack us behind their backs. So in order to ensure safety, please send troops immediately." The blood-covered soldier crawled on the ground and cried quickly.

Of course, Ishi Akira Kuroda did not believe all his words, and asked several other soldiers that the embassy was besieged by the North Koreans. As for whether it was the Russians who incited it behind the scenes, although there was no direct evidence, Ishi Akira Kuroda also guessed it was them.

Now, of course, the Russians have the upper hand in the political power in Seoul, but the military power of the two countries is comparable. After North Korea King Lee Hee entered the Russian Embassy, ​​the Russians successively transferred four or five hundred Russian troops from the Far East Fleet anchored in Incheon to Seoul to protect the security of the embassy.

The soldiers covered in blood said confidently: "Master, when I ran out, I found that countless Russian soldiers were dispatching urgently. I don't know whether to go to stabilize the situation or help the North Koreans capture the embassy. Although the embassy wall is deep and the court is deep, it should have been resisted for a long time, with the participation of the Russians, everything is possible."

"Soldier, you just said that the Russian Embassy sent a lot of Russian soldiers?" Kuroda Ishi Aki was happy and asked.

"Yes, your Excellency. There should be not many people in the Russian Embassy now." The soldier said casually.

Kuroda Ishi Aki walked to the front excitedly, looked at the unknown officer below, and said excitedly: "You guys, this is the time for us to take back King Lee Hee, since the Russians first provoked disputes and encouraged the Koreans to siege our embassy, ​​it is completely reasonable for us to fight back on the international morality, and other countries have no reason to stop us from doing this."

The Japanese officers were first startled by Kuroda Ishi Akira's boldness, but then they realized that it was indeed a good opportunity at this time, but this move would definitely make a feud with the Russians.

But now the Russians are clearly trying to drive the Japanese out of North Korea in one fell swoop and dominate the peninsula. They are all bullying themselves. Will they still retreat?

Seeing that no one objected to his thoughts, Kuroda Ishiaki immediately ordered: "Hiyo Ninomiya, you will lead the first squadron to rescue the embassy personnel. The other squadrons will act immediately and quickly capture the Russian embassy and seize Li Xi."

"Hi Yi!" These generals who were influenced by Bushido, chauvinism and militarism were all extremely excited and were dissatisfied with the cabinet government's step by step in the matter of North Korea.

At this time, Kuroda Ishi Aki's orders were in line with their fanatical thoughts.

In the Russian Embassy, ​​when Russian Minister to North Korea, Weiber, was shocked at first when he received the news of the Japanese Embassy being besieged, he was first shocked, and then immediately calmed down.

Although Japan defeated China, it was not worth mentioning in the eyes of countries like Russia. A small country defeated a weak country.

Some people in Russia even believe that "a hat can overwhelm Japan." "Only by unambiguously making the Japanese understand that Russia is ready to defend its interests in North Korea, if necessary, that is, to put force into action, can we expect the negotiations to be successful."

That's why Weiber dared to be so arrogant. As soon as he arrived in North Korea, the King of Korea fled to the Russian Embassy was staged because he believed that the Japanese would not dare to act rashly. When encountering Russia, the Japanese could only tolerate it.

Weiber didn't know that the risk factor in Japanese thinking was even greater than that of the Russians, so he was destined to be a tragedy.

Veber was sitting in a chair calmly drinking coffee. Ruvsky, the Russian commander who protected the embassy, ​​came in slowly to report to him.

"Mr. Minister, it was done by those North Korean Yi soldiers stranded in Seoul. Should we stop them?" Rufsky asked with a relaxed look on his face.

Weiber waved his hand and said with a smile: "The deeper the hatred between the Koreans and the Japanese is, the more beneficial it is to our country. We just need to watch the fun on the side. But these righteous soldiers seem to be beyond our control. They dare not discuss with us and act privately. After a while, let the North Korean government completely dismiss them."

Weiber seemed to regard himself as the supreme emperor of North Korea.

"Since Mr. Duke decided not to interfere in this matter, I will go down immediately and order the army to guard the embassy." Rufsky stood up and said, touching his chin.

Weiber nodded slightly.

Boom,

Suddenly a cannon sounded not far outside the door.

What's going on? Veber and Rufsky looked at each other and were a little confused. Could it be that the artillery made a mistake?

Before the two of them could react, a dense gunfire sounded again. After a moment, a second lieutenant ran in panic and reported in a trembling voice: "Gentlemen, the Japanese army has opened fire at us."
