Note: I have been a little busy these days and I owe a lot of chapters. I will make up for them all today. Five updates today!!!
"Yes, so I would like to ask the King of Korea to provide more manpower so that we can protect the local security and the people's livelihood and contentment!" Li Ningyu quickly said the biggest reason for his visit today.
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed in the eyes of King Li Bin of North Korea. Li Ningyu felt that the hairs all over his body stood up. He forced himself to look at King Li Bin of North Korea and refused to show weakness.
King Li Bin of North Korea pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Forget it, since Li Shenling is protecting our country for North Korea, how can I, Li Bin, not support it? I will give you the troops and horses of Gangwon Province, North Korea."
, Navy Controller, as for the equipment, you can raise the military expenses yourself."
Li Ningyu was overjoyed, because with the Gangwon Province soldiers and horses, the Naval Control Officer could buy surface ships and weapons from various countries. So Li Ningyu hurriedly climbed up the pole and said: "Thank you very much, King of Joseon, for your generosity. I am very grateful."
, I hope you can give me the will so that I can immediately purchase and dispatch weapons and ammunition to protect North Korea."
"No problem! Someone will take care of you!" Feeling that there was nothing wrong with Li Ningyu's words, North Korea's King Li Bin immediately nodded in agreement.
The King of Joseon was writing the imperial edict, but Li Ningyu on the side was thinking that in this troubled world, he did not have his own armed forces, let alone doing business, and even his personal safety could not be guaranteed.
The territory was also a headache. Then with the help of Prince Gong, the happy Li Ningyu came to North Korea with 3,000 soldiers.
Because at this time in Korea, Japan attacked the Korean army from land and sea, and the internal strife of the Donghak Party in Korea had begun, the King of Korea asked the Qing Dynasty to send troops to help him, so Prince Gong followed suit and asked Li Ningyu to come to Korea. His position
He remained unchanged and led the expedition to Korea with his own five battalions of soldiers.
About a few minutes later, King Li Bin of North Korea wrote a decree. At this time, Li Ningyu also stretched out his hand to the iron soldier behind him, then took out a one-foot-long wooden box and said with a smile: "This is a little bit of my heart.
Give it to King Xiaona of Joseon."
The King of Joseon Li Bin opened it and saw that inside the box was a ginseng that was about a century old, and a list of military supplies worth ten thousand taels of silver. The King of Joseon picked up the list and read it carefully, and then turned around and thanked Li Ningyu.
Said: "Thank you, Brother Li. What we lack most in North Korea now is weapons and equipment. With these dozens of boxes of bullets and hundreds of guns, we can equip a battalion of troops. If there are enough armaments and supplies in the South-Singapore Campaign, we may not lose."
! Alas, but we still lost in the end!" When he said the excitement, the eyes of the King of Korea burst out with anger.
"Calm down the king. The defeat of the war of resistance is due to the national strength. The weapons are inferior to others. Everyone knows it. I believe that there will be a war between China and Japan, and this war will be related to the survival of the country and the nation. I hope the king will also come soon."
It's better to be prepared!" Following the words of the King of Korea, Li Ningyu said with determination as if he had seen through everything.
Li Ningyu's words first stunned North Korea's King Li Bin, and then he immediately sighed: "I didn't expect that at this young age, I would be so knowledgeable. It's so ridiculous that politicians are still drunk and dreaming all day long, thinking they can bring peace to the world."
"Please rest assured, your Majesty, give me six months, and I will drive the Japanese out of the Korean Peninsula!" At this time, Li Ningyu had already stood up, and then the King of Korea, Li Bin, was overjoyed and said: "Oh, if this is really the case, brother
But North Korea is a great benefactor, I don’t know how to thank you now.”
It's not that Li Ningyu didn't want to give some arms to the North Korean King Li Bin, but he knew very well that ordinary people are not guilty and those who possess a jade are guilty. If there are more weapons, it will arouse suspicion and even spying.
Li Ningyu stood up and said: "We are all sons and daughters of China, protecting our home and country, why should we care about it!".
Li Ningyu thought about how in the future, he would lead his comrades to fight against the Japs in person, and in the end they all died heroically for the country. His eyes turned red, and a thousand words came to his throat but he could not utter a single word. In the end, he just gave a military salute and left.
The carriage returned from the Joseon Palace.
In the following days, Li Ningyu began collective training for soldiers from his five infantry battalions, and 500 soldiers selected from 3,000 soldiers were undergoing special training at this time. Li Ningyu said to the outside world,
These people belong to the cavalry battalion, but Li Ningyu's army does not have 100 horses.
In the next six months, Li Ningyu had been training newly recruited soldiers and an independent brigade of 500 people in North Korea. At this time, the battle between China and France had moved from land to sea. The Fujian Navy was brutally destroyed in the Battle of Mawei. In December of the same year,
Japan took the opportunity to create a Kashin coup in North Korea.
And Li Ningyu is still using his own unique training methods to train North Korea's new army and other soldiers. At this time, on a high platform in a training ground, Li Ningyu is saying loudly: "Everyone, if you want to become a
An outstanding sniper, in addition to accurate marksmanship, must also have endurance and be able to do what others cannot. Sometimes you don’t know when the target will appear. The sniper may have to lie in wait for hours, or even days, so the psychological and physical
You must maintain your best condition and don’t relax for even a second!”.
In just six months of intense preparations, Li Ningyu recruited a total of 5,000 new troops in North Korea and 3,000 soldiers from Yunnan. At this time, Li Ningyu already had three regiments and an independent brigade under his command.
In December 1884, Japan created the Kashin coup in North Korea, which happened on time, but everything was under the control of Li Ningyu. First, he reached several secret agreements with the King of North Korea, Li Bin, and then Li Ningyu began to send troops to annihilate North Korea.
Native Japanese soldiers.
It was already winter, and the Sanchakou position in North Korea was filled with gunpowder smoke. The Japanese machine guns on the high ground were constantly spraying fiery snakes. Li Ningyu's attacking troops were advancing with great difficulty.
Mitsuba Uemura, who graduated from the Imperial Japanese Army University, was an outstanding tactician. The field fortifications he commanded were very original. The top of the Sanchakou Highlands was an oblique flat platform. According to convention, the location of the fortifications guarding one side should be built on the hillside.
The ridgeline of the platform allows for a clear view of the attacking side's dynamics, and also facilitates the deployment of firepower from a high position.
However, Mitsuba Uemura built the ring fortifications in the center of a flat circular platform on the high ground. The attacking troops could not see the defenders at the bottom of the slope, so direct firepower would be ineffective. And anti-aircraft firepower such as heavy machine guns was extremely weak. The attacking troops had just charged.
Going up a steep slope, as soon as they showed their heads, they were immediately defeated by Japanese snipers. The first two main platoons to participate in the attack suffered more than half of their casualties and lost their ability to attack.
Li Ningyu, who was not far away, could see clearly in the telescope. He called a battalion commander who had just withdrawn from the position and asked: "How far is the edge of the hillside from the ring fortification?".
The defeated battalion commander immediately understood what Li Ningyu meant when he asked: "It's more than 40 meters!".
