After receiving the order from Oyama Iron, General Kuroki Weizhen, the commander of the 1st Legion, immediately organized troops to cross the river.

The 1st Legion was the main force of the Japanese army's participation in the war this time. It has three divisions, two brigades and three direct corpses, with a total strength of about 100,000. However, due to the continuous battle in the early stage, there are less than 90,000 people now. In addition, the Guards Division has crossed the Yalu River, so the forces on the west bank of the Yalu River are now about 70,000. Since the 1st Legion is responsible for guarding the Japanese army's northern line, the People's Army on the C line are not very strong, and it is not difficult to retreat. So Kuroki ordered the 15th Brigade to stay at Laoduntai, the 23rd Brigade stayed at Xiaoguling, and the rest of the troops immediately retreated to the Yalu River and retreated to the east bank of the river in turn.

The first thing to cross the river is the Guards Reserve Brigade, which is also part of the Guards Division, so it is naturally a priority.

The Yalu River is also a larger river in Northeast Asia. Since the wooden bridge is built near the estuary, the width of the river here is about 1,000 meters, and it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk normally. However, although most of the Japanese army's supplies have been transported across the bridge, there are quite a few supplies and supplies that the army has to accompany it. Not to mention, there are a lot of ammunition, and the cannons are extremely heavy.

Even the weight of the 75 mm gun is about 2 tons. With the horses pulling the cannon, the total weight of a gun group has been increased to 4-5 tons. Only one cannon can be passed at a time. If it is a level of 120 mm and 150 mm, it must be dismantled first and then transported in batches, which will naturally slow down the speed of crossing the bridge. As a result, it took almost an hour for the brigade to cross the Yalu River.

The second batch of crossing the bridge was the 2nd Cavalry Brigade directly under the 1st Legion. The reason is clear, because the brigade commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade was a member of the Japanese royal family: Prince Saihitoshi Shinin. This prince is the 16th son of Prince Fushimi Miyaki, who is famous for his fertility in modern Japanese history. (This prince gave birth to 17 sons and 15 daughters in his lifetime; the childbearing age was born from less than 14 to 65 years old, with a span of 52 years. He is even known as the first horse in the Japanese royal family)

After the Meiji era, it became the norm. It not only boosted morale but also increased the prestige of the royal family. Moreover, the royal family members held military positions not to be able to put a layer of gold, but to truly go through life and death in the war. The most typical example is that after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, in the Yiwei War of Japan, in which Japan suppressed the rebellion of the Taiwanese people, Prince Noku Kitashirakawa, who was then the commander of the Guard Division, personally led a team to Taiwan to participate in the war, and died in the battle of Bagua Mountain in Changhua (some say it was because he died of illness if he was not accustomed to the local conditions).

However, it was not a good thing to let the royal family die on the battlefield, so it was better to send Prince Jae-in, the Xianyuangong, to cross the river as soon as possible. Fortunately, all the prince led the cavalry and there were no heavy objects. Although the soldiers dismounted and led the bridge when crossing the bridge, the speed was very fast, and they all passed in a short time.

Kuroki looked at his watch and it was already past 11 o'clock at night. At this speed, the entire army could cross the river at around 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning. So he ordered the 2nd Division to cross the river. He also decided to lead the military headquarters to cross the river with the 2nd Division.

Now the 1st Army has crossed the river with one division and two brigades. Although most of the troops are still on the west bank of the Yalu River, the order of crossing the river is arranged. Each army only needs to cross the river in sequence, so there is no need for the command of the military headquarters. Instead, there are more and more troops passing through the east bank of the Yalu River, but someone needs to organize the locations of the troops stationed and the arrangement of the security arrangements. Therefore, it is natural for the military headquarters to cross the river.

It took only more than 10 minutes to go from the west bank of the Yalu River to the east bank, but Kuroki Weizhen was very moved, because just over a year ago, he crossed the Yalu River from here and entered Liaodong to participate in the war. Although he had experienced some twists and turns, he defeated Russia and conquered important Liaodong towns such as Lushun, Liaoyang, and Fengtian. Although the Russian army was still resisting, Kuroki Weizhen had no faith in the final victory, and it was not just Hei.

Mu Weizhen, at that time, the Japanese army thought that this would be the same as a great victory as the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Since overseas Chinese landed in Liaodong, the situation of the Japanese army has been declining. Not only have they lost consecutive battles, but they have also lost Lushun, Liaoyang, Fengtian and other places. Now they have been forced to retreat and encountered the Yalu River and even retreated back to the Korean Peninsula. All the achievements made in the past year and over the past year have been gone. Now, it seems like a big dream.

However, after all, Kuroki Weizhen is a senior general in the Japanese army and knows the plans of the senior management. Although it is a general situation to return to the Korean Peninsula, it is also a sign of preserving its strength and waiting for a comeback. Therefore, in Kuroki Weizhen's heart, he also hopes to cross the Yalu River again.

Just as Kuroki was thinking about it, he heard a consultant beside him say, "Look, is that a meteor?"

Hei Mu Weizhen looked up at the sky and saw that in the ink blue sky, there was indeed a bright yellow long tail, and it was getting taller and taller, the color changed from bright yellow to orange, and the tail flame was getting longer and longer, as if it was falling in his own direction.

At this time, someone shouted: "Meteor...the meteor is falling towards us."

Kuroki Weizaki was also a little surprised at this time, but when he looked at the "meteor", he vaguely saw that at the front of the long tail, it seemed to be a slender pointed thing, which looked like a shell on the side.

At this time, Kuroki Weizakura suddenly remembered that in the Eight-Nation Alliance's war invasion of China 6 years ago, there was a rumor among the Japanese that overseas Chinese had a shell with a fire-breathing tail, and later it was said that this shell was extremely powerful and could sink a battleship with one shot. However, Kuroki Weizakura just thought it was nonsense, so how could the tail of the shell be fire-breathing? But now it seems that this seems to be true.

This thought flashed through Kuroki Weizhen's mind, and saw that the "meteor" had already fallen and was heading towards a bridge. Because the distance was very close and the tail flame was bright, it could be seen very clearly that the flame was indeed spurted out from the tail of a shell-like object. And at this time, many Japanese soldiers crossing the bridge found it and couldn't help but get into chaos and fled to the shore. However, the soldiers who had just stepped on the bridge or were about to get off the bridge were fine, and they arrived in a few steps. The soldiers in the middle of the bridge came very much, but they pushed and collided with each other, and many soldiers fell into the river.

At this moment, a loud "boom" sound was heard, and a fireball burst out from the middle of the wooden bridge. Breaking flames soared into the sky, mixed with countless broken wood fragments and soldiers' broken limbs and broken arms, which were as bright as daylight for a moment.

When the fire gradually faded and the smoke dissipated, I saw that the wooden bridge had been broken by nearly a hundred meters away. There were still fires on the wooden boards at both ends, and the river was filled with stars and remains of flames, as well as countless Japanese soldiers struggling hard in the river.

Kuroki Weizaki couldn't help but be stunned, and sweat beads were oozing in his palms. He just came from this wooden bridge, which was only 10 minutes apart, and that was only a little bit short. Otherwise, the person who was struggling in the river now might be himself.

And what kind of weapon do overseas Chinese use? But in terms of power, it is not very terrible. Ordinary large-caliber naval guns have similar power, but this shell was fired from there. Even if the warship was parked at the mouth of the Yalu River and bombarded with a ship gun, it had already arranged personnel at the mouth of the Yalu River. Although it could not be stopped, at least there would be early warnings. How could there be no wind or noise? Then there was only one situation, that is, the shell was fired from a further place; and the general naval guns had poor accuracy, and the shell just now hit the wooden bridge without even shooting once. How could this be done? These are the terrifying aspects of this shell.

"Shanying Eagle reported to Yueyang ship, Shanying Eagle reported to Yueyang ship, Target No. 1 has been destroyed, Target No. 1 has been destroyed. Target No. 2 has been locked and can be launched* and can be launched*."

"Very good, Shanying, the second shot has been launched, keep the lock on target No. 2, guide *, and ensure the hit."

"Shanying understands."

After finishing the call, Han Zhi said: "* has been launched, keep the radar locked on the target No. 2 to connect to the data link."

He Bin said: "Don't worry, it's already connected, and now * is under our command. In fact, this launch * is really a slight idea. Just send out all 5 * at a time. Our firepower channel is not enough."

"It's better to be safer. We only have a few shots*, one less, so each one must be hit."

Han Zhi and He Bin are the 20 helicopters of the Sea-ZhiZhi on the Yueyang ship. They are now ordered to guide the Haihong Flag 16* launched on the Yueyang ship and hit the wooden bridge on the Yalu River.

Although the Caspian Red Flag 16* was an advanced medium-range regional air defense in the old time and space, it is now used to attack fixed targets on the ground. Moreover, the attack distance was too far. It was two pontoon bridges just built by the Japanese army, and it almost reached the range limit of the Haihong Flag 16*. Therefore, it is obviously not reliable to rely on * to rely on its own radar and must be guided by helicopters. After all, the helicopter can fly directly over the target and lock the target with airborne radar. Moreover, there is almost no air defense awareness in this era, and electronic interference is even zero, and there is no weapon that can threaten the helicopter. As a result, the first Haihong Flag 16* successfully hit the target under the guidance of the helicopter.
