The Rise of the Empire

"Please, they are an army! Even if there are some Japanese coffee tables in the Far East, they are still an army. As an army, there is an independent heavy artillery unit! The Japanese 120MM guns showed their power when they attacked Dahushan. I really waited until the opponent moved the heavy artillery. Come here, and then crush yourself with the huge superiority of troops?" Schmidt looked at the other party with a strange look, which made Mackensen feel a little scared!

"If I had a Bavarian Army with a division, I would guarantee that I could drive back the Japanese First Army! But unfortunately, I only have one regiment now! The rest are Russians and Qing people. No higher than the Japanese. Except for a very small part of the latter, the rest of the militia are unqualified! Moreover, our ammunition consumption is very large, and our combat effectiveness will decline in the future, while the Japanese army will still continue to provide reinforcements. Overall, , the Japanese lost this battle, but it was far from being injured!"

Schmidt's thinking is very realistic. Now that he has experienced modern warfare and tested the lethality of new weapons, it is time to retreat. In essence, I am a mercenary who takes money to do things. It's not my own country, so I can't afford to work so hard! One-sixth of the casualties in a battle is enough to be worthy of the employer. The Russians came up to cover Lao Tzu's retreat!

It turned out that Ruprecht didn't even want to fight this battle. It was purely head-to-head. The original plan was to pick up leaks and help the Qing army defend. However, the Qing army's defense line on the Yalu River collapsed too quickly, and I couldn't even leave if I wanted to, so I had to resist the opponent's first wave of attack before talking! Schmidt's evaluation of the Japanese army is quite pertinent, the will to fight is good, and the quality of the commander is also good. It wouldn't be so miserable if we didn't fight the elite Bavarian troops armed to the teeth!

And when Schmidt was about to accept it as soon as he saw it, Youpeng Shanxian also saw the telegram from the front line! After World War I, nearly 4,000 people were killed or injured in one division and two brigades! Did you read it right? How many casualties did the Japanese Army break through the Yalu River line of defense? Not even 400! Less than 150 people died in battle! If there is a telegram, everyone in the mountain county would like to ask if Gui Taro added an extra zero...

If it's really such a big loss, Youtomo of Yamagata would feel like chopping Gui Taro with a knife! How much did the Imperial Army die in taking down North Korea? Good guy, you killed and injured 4,000 people in one fell swoop, and nearly 3,000 died in battle? ! Why can't you break yourself when you beat it like this!

But soon, when Shanxian Youpeng saw a rifle sent with the battle report, he immediately withdrew his original thoughts. Gui Tailang's height in Shanxian Youpeng's mind directly changed from 1.38 meters to 1.8 meters. three! You really can't blame Gui Taro for this battle, he has the firepower of a rifle that can match ten of yours! It's a miracle that Katsura's exchange ratio still has a slight advantage! (Well, the Qing army is the denominator.)

And after actually inspecting the battlefield, looking at the devastated battlefield hit by shells, he even suspected that the opponent had the firepower of a heavy artillery regiment! In the second day's tentative attack, Yutomo Yamagata finally saw the power of rapid-fire guns and machine guns. The fierce firepower directly suppressed the Japanese army, who couldn't raise their heads, and the Japanese army who managed to rush up was also shooting at close range. Sieved by a semi-automatic rifle!

"The Germans are terrible!" Until now, Youpeng Shanxian has truly realized what is the most powerful country in the army! In the past, looking at the history of war, it seemed tall and powerful to say that Prussia defeated France in the Battle of Sedan, but I didn’t have a specific feeling. But now, Shanxian Youpeng really feels it, and after watching the battlefield again, I feel very intuitive and realistic. ! The piles of corpses piled up on the battlefield are proof of that! The education of blood and flames is the most intuitive! Just like the black ship incident back then!

"Otherwise, let's forget about Jiulian City..." Shanxian Youpeng had such an idea in his mind, and he threw away 4,000 troops in one day. If the fight continues,

How long can the first army last? Although the cannon fodder on the opposite side also went a lot, the Russian reinforcements also made the Japanese lose their minds instantly! It is said that the Russian army is also equipped with the same weapons as the German army, and there are tens of thousands of Russian troops in the Far East. This battle can be won or not fought! If the Russians become angry from embarrassment, Japan still plans to go to war with the Russians with this little army?

"Withdraw one after another, and then leave some troops on guard. The main force continues to march towards the Liaodong Peninsula. At the same time, report the situation on the battlefield to the base camp. The First Army needs support, and we must get out of the immediate predicament diplomatically! The navy has messed with us. Trouble is enough to shake the foundation of the empire! If Germany insists on fighting us, then the outcome of this war is likely to be a failure!"

In line with the principle that the navy does not scold the army for being abnormal, and the army does not scold the navy for being unreasonable, now Shanxian Youpeng's resentment towards the navy has reached a new level, and he is almost about to kill the Navy Department himself! ! Look at what the navy has done! If you can’t steal the chicken and lose the rice, forget about it. Throw away 2 cruisers, and hundreds of thousands of pounds are in vain. Faced with such an opponent, you still have to admit your mistake and ask for forgiveness. Anyway, the Japanese admit it twice. Once again, I have knelt down to all countries, what happened to Germany when I knelt down once?

In the end, with the help of the British, the matter was finally settled, but in the end they played a trick! Who is Germany? They are the ones who violently beat France! The French Army was once the teacher of the Japanese! It's not the same as playing when others clean you up! In the final battle in the Yellow Sea, one ship almost destroyed your fleet! Even if the navy is cheated, the army will follow suit! What are you not ****?

If the Germans were satisfied and ready to retreat at any time, and the Japanese had their heads smashed in front of the fire net, then the Russians felt somewhere in between. In the confrontation, it was better to rely on the guys in their hands, and the Russian cavalry had a little advantage, but in the subsequent offensive and defensive battles, the Russians were surprised to find that if they did not have such superior weapons as machine guns and rapid-fire guns, the Russians' combat effectiveness was no better than that of Japan. People are tall....

The Russians may be able to resolutely carry out orders, but that’s all. Leaving aside the tactical flexibility, the “gray cattle” mainly serfs really can’t beat those who are dedicated to “serving the empire” Japanese! In the face of the fanatical bayonet attack of the Japanese, the Russians, who have neither the bloodiness of the French nor the firepower of the Germans, are not so strong. After all, carrying out orders and not retreating until death are two concepts!
