Wadsey explained to the generals: "Now that the Bismarck battery has been destroyed by the enemy, we have fallen into total passivity, so there is no point in continuing to hold the position, it will only be destroyed by the enemy's artillery, and according to the report of Lieutenant Colonel Nedwitz, the combat effectiveness of the overseas Chinese army is not strong, so we might as well attack on all fronts and fight to the death with the enemy." There may still be hope of victory, and even if we still lose the battle in the end, we did our best and did not dishonor the German soldiers. ”

After listening to Wadsey's words, the officers understood and could not admit that Wadsey's plan was indeed the best choice for the German army at present, because only in this way could the German army have a glimmer of life, although the probability was not great, but it was better than no chance at all.

The deputy commander, Major General Falkenhain, said: "Your Excellency, the enemy has now attacked from the sea, how can we deal with the enemy's attack from the sea?"

"We still have seven warships in Qingdao Bay, and we should be able to resist for a while, but we still have to end the war on land as soon as possible, so success or failure depends on this." ”

Major General Schwarzhofer, chief of staff, said: "However, the offensive requires more troops than the defense, and now the total number of troops in several positions on the front line is only 900 people, and after being bombarded by the enemy, there will definitely be some losses, so even if you take the initiative to attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat the enemy." We still have more than 500 reserves, since it is a success or failure in this move, it is better to put the reserves into the battlefield, plus these troops, it should be about the same, even if the reserves do not immediately enter the battlefield, but they should also arrive close to the battlefield, observe the battle situation at close range, as soon as there is an opportunity, immediately join the battlefield to fight, and strive to defeat the enemy, if we are not able to defeat the enemy, then we have no other way. ”

Wadsey nodded and said, "That's all there is to it." ”

At this time, Ye Shike, the governor of Jiaoao, stood up and said, "Marshal, I request that I bring the reserves to the battlefield in person. Ye Shike is also a German soldier, and he also has a sense of honor as a soldier, although his rank of colonel is not high in the German army, in the German fleet, there are 7 or 8 major generals and brigadier generals alone, and there are more than a dozen colonels, but Ye Shike is the governor of Jiaoao after all, so he is duty-bound to guard Qingdao, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to personally lead the reserve team into battle.

Wadsey thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, it's up to you to lead the reserves." ”

So Ye Shike immediately set off with 400 reserves. An hour later, Ye Shike led his army to Jialing Mountain, by which time the sky had already brightened, and the battle here had entered a white-hot stage.

It turned out that after Wadsey's order reached the front line, the German troops at Bismarck's position first abandoned their positions and attacked on Jialing Mountain. Because Jialing Mountain was relatively close to the German position, the KPA set up the position of 75 mm caliber howitzers here, and the German army could determine the position according to the trajectory of the artillery shells without sending troops to reconnoitre.

Jialing Mountain was originally just a small hill, and the position of the 75 mm caliber howitzers was located on the top of Jialing Mountain, and the other troops who arrived at Jialing Mountain had no place, so they could only be arranged under the mountain, with the first battalion arranged directly in front, the second battalion on the right side, and the fifth battalion on the left side, forming a zigzag shape.

The position of Bismarck Hill was in the southwest of Jialing Mountain, so the German army in Bismarck's position abandoned its position and launched an attack that was almost equivalent to a desperate attack, and the first thing they hit was the 5th Battalion arranged on the left side of Jialing Mountain.

At this time, there was indeed a feeling of victory in the People's Army, thinking that the German army was powerless to return to the sky, and could only be trapped in the position and captured, but no one thought that the German army would take the initiative to attack the People's Army at this time, so it was indeed not at all prepared for battle, and there was no action.

The other five battalions are a unit with a small number of veterans as the backbone, supplemented by most of the recruits, and the so-called veterans, in fact, are just one more month of military training, and in the defense of Tianjin experienced the battlefield atmosphere several times, in fact, not even a formal battle has been fought, strictly speaking it is also a recruit, it can be said that the entire five battalions except for dozens of platoon-level and company-level officers are crossing soldiers, basically composed of recruits, and the whole battalion is extremely lacking in actual combat experience.

The German army suddenly attacked, and indeed hit the five battalions by surprise, and the German soldiers also knew that the victory or defeat of this battle was in one move, so everyone fought bravely, raised their guns and rushed violently, first of all, they shot a dense rain of bullets at the five battalions, and immediately shot down a piece of the soldiers of the fifth battalion, and then the German soldiers put on their bayonets and launched a fierce charge against the people's army, only to kill the people's army fell to the ground one after another, almost no resistance, and was beaten by the German army into chaos, and retreated again and again.

Although dozens of platoon-level and company-level officers of the 5th Battalion tried their best to command the troops to resist, even the battalion commander of the 5th Battalion, Xie Mingfeng, joined the battle with QZ95 rifles and launched fierce strafing fire on the German troops. Because according to the experience of the last war, the various weapons used by the soldiers can play a great role in enhancing the combat effectiveness of the whole army on the local battlefield, so before this battle, Zhu Yaping also demanded that commanders at all levels should personally go into battle during the battle, first, to boost the morale of the whole army, and second, to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the whole army.

However, a force of more than 400 people, supported by the efforts of only dozens of people, is obviously insufficient, and the five battalions are almost all recruits who have not been on the battlefield, and they were caught off guard by the Germans, panicked before fighting, and listened to the sound of gunfire endlessly, and the companions around them were shot and fell to the ground screaming, that can still resist, many soldiers are frightened and flee one after another, only a few soldiers can still follow their commanders, and strive to resist the attack of the enemy. One platoon even appeared, and the entire platoon ran out, leaving only the platoon commander and deputy platoon commander still fighting hard.

Fortunately, there are still dozens of crossing soldiers in the whole battalion in the face of the German attack, and under their leadership, there are more than 100 soldiers who insist on fighting and fighting to the death, so the whole battalion will not be defeated, but only these 100 or so people can not withstand the fierce attack of the German army, and can only retreat, and at the same time they have also suffered heavy casualties, and three crossing soldiers have been shot and died.

At this moment, I only heard the sound of gunfire from the side, and saw an army coming from the left side of the German army, and more than ten soldiers in the first row were armed with rifles, spraying a dense rain of bullets, and in just a few tens of seconds, they actually shot down more than 20 German soldiers. This moment stunned the German army, and then several bombs from nowhere fell into the German army's formation and exploded, killing and wounding the German army, and then the whole army followed and launched a fierce fire on the German army.

Just now, the German army attacked fiercely, and it was very easy to fight, and it was thinking of completely defeating this enemy army in one go, and it was indeed unprepared for the weak attack on its own flank. It can be regarded as being taken by surprise, and hurriedly turned around to meet this newly killed enemy army, which gave the fifth battalion a chance to breathe, and the battalion commander Xie Mingfeng hurriedly took advantage of this rare opportunity to reorganize the troops and enter the battle again.

And from the flank of the German army, it was the first battalion of the People's Army.

The area of Jialing Mountain is not large, and it is quiet in the early morning, so there was a fierce battle on the left, and the sound of gunfire also reached the middle battalion, Luo Yue immediately ordered people to reconnoitre, only to learn that the German army had taken the initiative to attack the People's Army, and the five battalions could not resist.

So Luo Yue also immediately decided to immediately go to reinforce the fifth battalion, and at the same time sent people to send signals to the second battalion on the right and the headquarters of Lao Yaling, telling them the news that the Germans were taking the initiative to attack, and he was going to reinforce the fifth battalion, so that the second battalion would pay attention to protecting the artillery position, and let the Lao Yaling command send reinforcements as soon as possible.

After informing the other troops, Luo Yue immediately led the whole battalion to attack, went around to the left, and launched an attack from the flank of the German army. The second company of the first battalion that took the lead, that is, the company that launched an attack from behind the German army in the first battle of Hualoufeng.

Although in the last battle, the second company suffered large losses, and the whole company lost as many as 37 people, accounting for almost one-third of the whole company, but after the tempering of that battle, the combat effectiveness of the whole company has been significantly improved, and at the same time, it has also accumulated considerable experience. Drained the magazine of the QZ95 rifle as quickly as possible, and at the same time fired several grenades.

This move really worked, and immediately disrupted the German army's position, and then the two sides launched a full-scale engagement, but the combat effectiveness of the first battalion was not comparable to the fifth battalion, whether it was personal quality or actual combat experience, it was much stronger than the fifth battalion, and it came prepared, plus seized the opportunity, so the German army was always suppressed by the first battalion and was at a disadvantage.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than ten minutes, although the German army was at a disadvantage, but after all, it was well-trained, although it was defeated but not chaotic, and it fought and retreated, but it advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. But he can't slow down this breath, no matter how he turns the tide of the battle.

At this time, Xie Mingfeng, the commander of the fifth battalion, also reorganized the troops, although some soldiers had fled from the battlefield, they also organized nearly 300 people, which was regarded as a free force to pull the troops up again.

The battle just now made Xie Mingfeng very annoyed, because the performance of the fifth battalion really made his face dull, no matter how many objective reasons, but the result is the most important thing, fortunately, the battle is not over yet, and he still has a chance to get this face back. Therefore, Xie Mingfeng reorganized the team while observing the battlefield, hoping to find a good opportunity to join the battlefield again.

At this moment, his walkie-talkie sent a signal with information, Xie Mingfeng hurriedly turned on the intercom, it turned out that the command had sent him a message, and another German army appeared on the left side of the battlefield, asking Xie Mingfeng to intercept this enemy army.

It turned out that after receiving Luo Yue's report, Zhu Yaping was also taken aback, he didn't expect the Germans to take the initiative to attack, so Zhu Yaping ordered to dispatch the sixth battalion stationed in Lao Yaling to rush to the battlefield, and at the same time, he immediately released a drone to observe the situation on the battlefield.
