The temporary tent was filled with coffins, and Li Guolou lit an eternal lamp. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, tears flowed down his eyes.
The sharp sword Arirang, the arrow Yang Cong, Fu Guozhong, the insulated, the awakening, He Zhuzi, Yang Jingwei, Yan Bin, so many comrades, lying quietly in front of him. This kind of heartache is beyond resounding and makes people cry.
For the morale of the army, Li Guolou had to control his emotions in front of everyone and showed perseverance and courage, but when there was no one, he was about to collapse. Such a major decision was decided by him, and The Ministry of War concealed the combat plan, and insomnia made him unable to sleep at night. He wanted to give up Hualien Town many times.
But in the end, he persisted. If he didn't have the courage to fight, how could he regain his territory? He won the victory, and no matter how big the casualties were, it was worth it.
Li Guolou murmured to himself: "Thank you for your trust. I will not let you down. I brought you to Taiwan. When I go back, I will definitely bring you back??????"
Li Guolou was sobbing that he couldn't continue talking. He was alone in front of the coffin, keeping his soul for his comrades.
When a dawn shines through the thick clouds, a thin mist in the air gradually dissipates, and the sun shines on the earth. When the birds return to this hot land of the motherland, they fly freely in the sky, and become a soldier standing. On the land of the motherland, welcoming the morning glow and red sun, showing a proud heroic posture.
Li Guolou stepped onto the high slope and overlooked the entire Hualien Town. So many lovely people paid their blood to win. Li Guolou ignited his fighting spirit, sacrificed his family for the country, abandoned his comfortable life, and continued to fight. The Qinghun Shishi still has a great battle. This time he wants to take back the sea control power and let the Japanese Navy know what resoluteness and courage means. For the sake of the treasure island of the motherland, Chinese men are not afraid of death.
In the morning, Li Guolou and Liu Mingchuan, Li Yun Captain, Nie Shicheng, Luo Shidai and others held a military meeting to formulate a plan for advancement. After a night of rest, everyone was relieved from their fatigue and looked energetic.
Li Guolou's strategy was to divide his troops into two groups, trap the Japanese army in Guishan and regain the Japanese-controlled deep-shui port of Langjiao.
Attack Langjiao by land, the main force of the Qing army was handed over to Liu Mingchuan's command.
Liu Mingchuan looked at the domineering attitude of no other than me, looking around the officers around him and stroking his beards with great confidence. If Li Guolou doesn't need him, who else can he use?
Everyone had no objection to Liu Mingchuan's command ability, and the plan to plan the Langjiao Battle was quickly passed.
Captain Li Yun led more than 10,000 foreign soldiers and a new military army to restrain the Japanese army in Guishan.
Luo Shidai, chieftain of the Beidong clan, heard that Li Guolou was about to leave, peeped at Li Yun's eyes, and looked at Li Yun's young captain, and a cold snorted in his nose.
Nowadays, all foreign soldiers are obeying the orders of Li Guolou. More than 10,000 foreign soldiers are volunteer soldiers. The leaders of ethnic minorities only admire Li Guolou. Li Guolou has long become a myth of the Qing Dynasty. More than 3,000 foreign soldiers have died in battle. There was no complaint from the people, and the foreign soldiers were willing to die for Li Guolou.
It can be seen that the ethnic policies formulated by Li Guolou are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Taiwanese people trust Li Guolou, but how many people know Li Guolou's nephew Li Yun.
Li Guolou knew that Li Yun could not convince the public, but he wanted to cultivate his own power and planned for the future. The future new martial army must be in the hands of the Li family, so he drove the ducks and put them on the shelves, and the Rockets promoted Li Yun to capture. Captain Li Yun was already in the title of deputy general, and he did not ask foreign troops to attack Guishan. The highest commander was Liu Mingchuan, and Captain Li Yun was just the commander of Guishan Defense Zone.
Li Yun had superb military strategy. The battle in Hualien Town was a battle planned by the Japanese army. Li Guolou was forced to counterattack. The scale of the battle in Hualien Town was so large that Li Yun, who was on the front line, sent a telegram to point out The Qing army and the Japanese army fought a decisive battle in Hualien Town, which outweighed the disadvantages. Only by killing and injuring the main forces of the Japanese army in the plains was able to allow the Qing army to gain a military advantage.
Li Guolou put all his troops into the battle of Hualien Town, which led to the four thousand ever-victorious troops defending Hualien Town and fighting the Japanese army to death.
Afterwards, it was proved that Li Yun had strategic vision and eliminated more than 12,000 Japanese troops in one battle. The Japanese army no longer dared to compete with the Qing army for the Pingtung Plain and gave up this grain production area.
Li Guolou seemed to have not heard the sneer of several toasts, stared at Luo Shidai with sharp eyes and said, "I left here temporarily to defeat the Japanese Navy as soon as possible and not to cut off the Japanese maritime transportation line. This battle There is no time to go. After I leave, you have a heavy burden. I hope you will cooperate sincerely and unite with Liu Zhentai and Li Yun. From now on, you will be national heroes. You must contribute to the country and overcome any major difficulties. ,”
Luo Shidai smiled foolishly, pretended to be honest and nodded, "Please rest assured, Commander Li, I will not enter the hinterland of Guishan without authorization. I understand what you said. Mountain wars can only rely on nibble. Only policies can win, but those who are anxious are doomed to fail.”
Li Guolou pointed his big hand at the head of the Heishan tribe Yu Ronggu and said, "Yu Tusi, you have a statement, let me listen,"
Yu Ronggu felt very honored and smiled on his face. Li Guolou asked him to speak the second time, correcting his attitude and expressing his position and determination.
Li Guolou named each of them, asking every chieftain to express his opinion that if he did not let anyone go, he would be afraid that any leader would get angry and break into the hinterland of Guishan and be surrounded by the Japanese army.
More than twenty chieftains and tribal generals expressed their position and were willing to obey Li Yun's command. No one clamored to liberate Guishan.
Li Guolou warned him and said, "As the commander, Li Yun, you must be more fierce, burn all the trees in Guishan, and all the people within 50 miles of Guishan migrated, burned me one mountain after another, let me The Japanese army was eating soil in Guishan, but I wanted to see how capable Xixiang was to occupy a barren mountain."
The officers, chieftains, and tribal leaders in the military tent were all dumbfounded. No one dared to say anything. They stared at Li Guolou in a daze. Captain Li Yun stood up in horror and shouted: "Yes, I know what's going on." If you do it, you will never let the Japanese army have a good life.”
Captain Li Yun understood as soon as he heard this. Li Guolou was afraid that he would not be able to convince the public, so he deliberately said two vicious plans. In the future, when fighting in Guishan, the Qing army implemented a strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, others could not criticize him.
Burning mountains is to damage the environment. Ashes will prevent any grass from growing in the soil. Even if the Japanese army cannot burn them to death, they will not be able to farm in the mountains within a year or two.
In the past, the Central Plains people used the method of dealing with northern ethnic minorities to "burn grassland pastures".
In ancient times, every autumn when the grass was ate and horses were fat, the garrison soldiers entered the hinterland of the grassland to "burn grassland pastures", causing heavy losses to the herdsmen. The people in the Central Plains have a tradition of burning grassland pastures for thousands of years, and the effect is significant. This is more effective than sending troops to fight, making the north. The herdsmen endured a winter.
The Qing Dynasty won the world on the back of a horse, and never used this strategy. It was almost lost. Li Guolou taught this vicious plan with shamelessness and was not afraid of being scolded.
Li Guolou had no choice but to use despicable means to destroy the environment of Guishan. Otherwise, the Japanese army would have to farm and grow vegetables in the mountains for a long time. The Japanese army set up a Governor's Office in Guishan, and the mountain wars attacked. The Qing army entered the mountains to fight against the Japanese army, and if they were accidentally surrounded by the Japanese army, the food route would be cut off and they could only surrender.
The Qing army was not sure and was unwilling to go into the mountains to fight. Even the old military officer Liu Mingchuan agreed with Li Guolou's military deployment, which shows that there was no other choice for mountain warfare.
Yunnan Governor Qin Yuying fought with the Miaojiang uprising army in Yunnan. He used the strategy of clearing the fields to capture a village and destroy a village. More than 1,200 Miao villages were destroyed by the Qing army. Finally, Miao The Xinjiang Uprising Army could not bear it anymore, so they surrendered. Otherwise, as soon as the Qing army left, the Miao people in the village rebelled again, and they could only completely destroy it and cut off the rebel army's retreat. It looked cruel, but the national war was only Rely on violence to combat violence, otherwise there will be no peace.
Several leaders of the Paiwan tribe were crying. Guishan was a holy place for the Paiwan tribe. Now it was occupied by the Japanese army, so how could they have the face to meet their ancestors?
Li Guolou said kindly and comforted him. If he didn't destroy or establish, he would be better tomorrow. Follow him to fight and have a good future.
Since the Paiwan people did not object, the chieftains of other ethnic minorities were not easy to object. Even if the fire spreads to their territory, in order to eliminate the Japanese army, they could only bear the consequences of the fire.
After receiving the personal promise from Li Guolou and Liu Mingchuan, the leader of the foreign soldiers left the military tent.
Li Guolou and Liu Mingchuan bid farewell to the chieftains of the ethnic minorities together, leaving Luo Shidai behind and discussing important matters.
There is also a Beidong Army in Dawu Mountain. Now the Pingtung Plain has been recovered by the Qing army. The four thousand Beidong Army led by the "housekeeping" Wangredong was cut off by the Qing army. This rebellious Beidong Army is in a retreat. In between, the food supply routes had been cut off by the Qing army.
Li Guolou wanted Luo Shidai to persuade the Beidong Army to surrender, and asked the Beidong Army to intercept the Japanese artillery column left in Dawu Mountain.
The Qing army had already grasped the situation of the Japanese artillery column. Captain Li Yun said: "The Japanese army in Dawu Mountain had about 300 people and 80 artillery pieces, commanded by Takeyu Osa Sakata, which is an elite Japanese army. There are five American officers in the artillery unit, but now they have become a useless person and cannot move even if they move. If the Japanese army wants to break through, they can only throw away these bronze cannons. I wonder if the Japanese army has the determination and courage to cut off their arm,"
Luo Shidai said: "I sent a letter to Wangredong some time ago. Although he did not reply, he will soon know the result of the Hualien Town Battle. I think he will recognize the situation and lead the Beidong Army on the battlefield. On the uprising, however, I am not sure whether Wangredong will fight back and attack the Japanese army. This person is Luo Xingshu's confidant. Even if he has to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he will not do it too well. I think Wangredong will Letting the Japanese army go is my humble opinion, for reference only.”
Liu Mingchuan's face became ferocious and he said gritted his teeth: "Luo Tusi, if you say that Wangredong cannot be kept, after the war is over, you will hand him over to me."
Luo Shidai had a red heart towards the Qing Dynasty. People who were not loyal to the Qing Dynasty were also a disaster. He said without hesitation: "A word is determined, and I also want to see if Wangredong is loyal to the people or will he betray him. Personality,"
Li Guolou said for a moment: "I think the Japanese army no longer believes in the Beidong Army. They are ready to break through. Since they are the elite Japanese troops, they will not surrender easily. They will still choose to break through. It is impossible to block them.
, Just leave the cannons. If Wangredong eliminates part of the Japanese army, you still sincerely submit. Don't be embarrassed by him. If Wangredongyin disobeys the Yang, you will be grateful to the Japanese army and let go of the Japanese artillery column.
The outcome is destined to be very sad, it depends on how he does it.”
"Well, I have sent a messenger yesterday. What will Wangredong do? I will know in two days." Luo Shidai's status was unshakable. He was the great savior of the people of Beidong, and he was more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than Li Guolou.
Li Guolou looked at Luo Shi Dai and said, "Luo Tusi, my requirement for you now is to restrain military discipline and manage your subordinates' mouths. If too much talk will lead to mistakes. Don't mention the past. If someone breaks a taboo.
, I can only kill Ma Su with tears, do you understand?”
"Yes, I guarantee it will be done," Luo Shidai rose up and saluted the chief in the military tent. He left proudly. With Li Guolou's cover, the great anti-Qing uprising of the Beidong people will surely be destroyed in history.
In the dust.
The Changsheng Army suffered heavy casualties and killed 123 foreign officers in battle. Li Guolou was severely criticized by the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War ordered the Changsheng Army to be allowed to run the troops.
Military orders should not be violated. Except for the serious injuries, the four hundred soldiers of the ever-winning army were ready to go.
Li Guolou and Liu Ming bid farewell to Browning. Bolt and his group, the injured Browning lies on a stretcher. Li Guolou and Liu Mingchuan personally carried the stretcher and carried Browning onto the carriage. The entire army was the ever-winning army.
Saying for farewell.
Browning was extremely excited, grabbed Li Guolou's hand tightly and said, "Commander General Li, you still owe me a poem. Now it's time to write it for me."
Who said that foreigners have no friendship? The British and French fought for the Qing Dynasty, not just to pay for money, but the real and touching comrades-in-arms accumulation is like intoxicating old wine. Foreigners also have good men and are friends for life.
Li Guolou was full of thoughts and could not calm down for a long time. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will write a poem to Changshengjun and bring a pen,"
Li Guolou wrote a long poem and wrote a book saying: Farewell to the ever-winning army in Hualien Town, Taiwan, and don’t forget your comrade-in-arms.
"Nian Nujiao? Taiwan Town"
The clouds and waves roll, ride thousands of miles, fight against Japanese slaves in the blue sea and yellow sand.
The treasure island has won the national prestige. The navy returned my mountains and rivers, raised my tombs, stained my flags with blood, and scattered my guns to sacrifice my loyal souls. The country is still the same, and the sea is boundless.
I think of the national humiliation and family hatred, and I feel bitter and hope that the suffering will come.
The sky is filled with bullets, cannons, thunder and beacons are fired, the nine-headed birds soar into the sky, and they are sad alone. The breeze is remembering the old friends, cleaning up the monsters, spreading their wings and flying, and the roc chasing the clouds and the sun.
Liu Mingchuan read the poem aloud and sighed: "What a 'chasing the clouds and chasing the sun', you can think of it,"
Browning sobbed excitedly, muttering words in her mouth, immersed in the artistic conception of poetry, gritted her teeth and sat upright, and forced a standard military salute to Li Guolou.
The soldiers of the ever-winning army kept wiping their tears, which is a true portrayal of the battle of the ever-winning army.
Liu Mingchuan shouted jealously: "Li Guolou, you have never given me a poem,"
Li Guolou smiled and said, "Liu Liumazi, can we encourage each other,"
Liu Mingchuan was so sarcastic that he vowed to let Li Guolou praise him.
