"Nani, aren't those the Emperor ** team? Qing people, this is impossible, such a heroic army is those braided minions. It's absolutely impossible, it's ridiculous. Masahiko Kawamura, the senior adjutant of the station, barely believed his eyes, but several regimental-sized Russian charges were blocked from the ridge by the Qing army wearing the black uniforms of the Japanese army.

"It seems that our children are very skillful, and they are probably a young tiger." The fourth division of the Saito Kei Nakasa was also very helpless, the boss originally sent him two heights to defend, and also said that he would send a Qing people's volunteer team to participate in the battle, in fact, it was to use them as cannon fodder and consume the ammunition and sharpness of the Russian army. However, he did not expect that the order changed later, and the Volunteers became an independent combat formation, and his fourth wing was assigned to the defense of Heights 322, and he was not allowed to take a step back for an hour before the main force retreated.

"Their firepower configuration is very distinctive, in fact, although they don't seem to have many people, but in terms of firepower, oh, especially the firepower output per unit time is far superior to the Russian army, and even the general infantry divisions of the imperial ** team are not inferior. Their mines are powerful, the number and configuration of machine guns have not been used by the emperor's ** team, and the concentrated use of that grenadier canister can actually play the effect of barrage, which is a very meaningful attempt. I think if the Russian army continues to attack, I'm afraid the price will not be small, well, it seems that the Russian army is going to bypass the 214 heights. "Masahiko Kawamura was observing the enemy situation, and he saw that the three regiments of the second echelon of the Russian army were moving towards the flank of the 214 heights, but they were getting farther and farther away from the 214 heights, and they were coming straight to the junction of the two highlands." It seems that they are trying to cut us off from 214 Heights. Saito-kun, do we need to support that Seigo Volunteer Army? ”

"No need, I'm afraid that the commander of the Russians has finally come to his senses, and then we are afraid that we will have to prepare to face the main force of the Russian army." Although Saito did not see the movement of the Russian army under the distant horizon, it can be clearly felt from the seriously reduced artillery fire density of the 214 heights, the second-line troop movements of the Russian infantry, etc., that the Russian army has found that the desperate struggle for the chicken-ribbed 214 heights is really worth the loss. Now the Russian army must make a choice in order to drag the main force of the Japanese army and annihilate it, compared with the 214 heights, which have little value, the 322 heights covering the retreat route of the Japanese army are the eyes of the Japanese army. "The Russian army will attack our positions more ferociously next, I don't know how long the Russian army's offensive will last, but the strength of the fourth wing will definitely not be surplus. As for the 214 heights, even if they are lost, there will not be much hindrance, not to mention that they have already bought us half an hour's time. However, Kawamura-kun, I would like to ask you to return to the military headquarters as soon as possible, the impact of the Russian army is not terrible, but the performance of the volunteer army you just observed is worth our thought, please return to the military headquarters to report everything here, our samurai are very brave, but their combat methods and weapons still need to be improved, I hope that the people of the Ministry of War do not only discuss the tea ceremony, it is time to do something practical for the country. In short, it's up to you. ”

"Don't dare to be, Saito-kun, then I'll go to the military headquarters. Please hold on for at least half an hour, and I will ask the military department to let the division send you additional troops" This Kawamura Masahiko is a full-fledged graduate of Lu University, and he is a little contemptuous of this Nakasa who has not been to Lu University, but from the Sino-Japanese War and several subsequent dispatches, he has won the position of deputy of the wing step by step, and his own strength is still very strong. Kawamura was also a little shocked by Saito's request, but he didn't expect that this guy, who seemed to be as oily as the other Osaka soldiers, would be able to put the interests of the empire first at a critical moment and allow him to go back and report on the war situation here.

"No need, Kawamura-kun, there is no need for the military headquarters to send any more reinforcements." Saito is not a fledgling hairy boy, and their Wing Captain has taken the opportunity to supervise the supply of ammunition and is gone, in fact, the Fourth Wing has been placed in the position of an outcast. Even if the division wanted to send troops, it would not be of much use because it was broken up by its own defeated troops, so it was better to establish a blocking position on the next high ground and respond to their advance. As for Saito's own plans, it's just not enough for outsiders, and it's not all out of public interest that he asked Kawamura to return to the military headquarters, after all, this is also from Osaka. In addition to wanting to please this graduate of Lu University, another important reason is that once Kawamura leaves, he Saito is the only commander on this position, so he can implement the next plan, if he can succeed, then he will definitely become a big hero of this transfer after preserving the main force of the Fourth Wing and completing the blocking task, this credit He doesn't want Kawamura, the young man of the headquarters, to share the profits, God knows how big this guy's appetite is, can he give himself some leftovers. Although his mind was a little dirty, His Excellency Saito, the deputy of the Osaka Wing, was still very righteous and awe-inspiring: "Please Kawamura-kun don't think of us, we will swear to hold our positions to the death, and we will definitely stop the offensive of the Russian army." Please tell Your Excellency the division commander that the Fourth Wing has not disgraced the Fourth Division and has not discredited the fathers and elders in his hometown. ”

Kawamura saw that this middle-aged uncle who had made a fortune was actually a hot-blooded man, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, and when he went back, he would inevitably say good things for Saito-san in his words, which was exactly the benefit that Saito's old boy expected. The two sides saluted each other with a sincere affection and a false salute, and said goodbye with tears.

"The emperor's samurai, please cheer up, the Qing slaves on the opposite position can be ten with one, how can we, the emperor's loyal and brave warriors, be inferior to the Qing slaves? Use your bayonets to prove to the world that our emperor ** people are heroic in the world! I don't know if Saito's preaching was an appetite for these Osaka soldiers, but the Fourth Division is also an old standing division, and the soldiers' combat quality is still guaranteed.

"Shoot!" Saito didn't worry about the captain of the front line having to command, so he simply commanded on the front line himself. The moment his command knife slashed, a burst of green smoke erupted from the thirty-year-old gun, and the shape of the Russian army three hundred meters away was suddenly cut off. The momentum of the Russian army was suffocated, but these gray cattle, under the command of the officers, quickly returned fire and continued to stubbornly charge towards the top of the mountain. The accuracy and low rate of fire of the 30-year-old small gun made the soldiers of the Osaka Division hate and love, basically every shot of the Japanese army can be successful, but at a distance of 300 meters, even if it is a hillside, this kind of old-fashioned rifle with one shot can fire at most seven or eight times, that is to say, after hitting only four or five Russian soldiers at most, the firepower of this brigade cannot completely stop the charge of two or three regiments of the Russian army.

The formation of the Russian army's charge is no longer a dense cluster charge, so that the intensive firepower of the "Japanese army" on the 214 heights has taught the Russian army a good lesson, although the brain is not very bright, but instinct tells them that if the hedgehog gathers a bunch, it is purely looking for death, so the Russian soldiers unconsciously took an evacuation formation, and the rugged hillside made it impossible for the Russian army to charge in a straight line, although the speed of the Russian army moving left and right was not very fast, but the swaying gray figure made the Japanese army's accurate marksmanship useless. Most of the officers of the Russian army were nobles or citizens, and the more courageous officers were sacked by the accurate marksmanship of the "Japanese army" on the 214 heights, and almost all of the rest were characters brandishing small pistols and shouting "give it to me". However, in this way, the casualties of officers also dropped significantly, and even if the Japanese killed and wounded a large number of Russian soldiers, they could not make these Russian troops collapse. After repelling a charge, the Japanese army faced a large group of Russian troops who had entered fifty meters without thinking and began to raise their bayonets for hand-to-hand combat, and for a time the 322 heights were fought together, gray and black military uniforms were cut and pierced by bayonets from time to time, blood and shredded flesh splashed out, and young figures screamed and fell, rolled, curled, and finally fell silent.

In the fortifications on the 214 heights from the anticline, Wu Luzhen and the two battalion leaders raised their binoculars and silently watched the fierce battle on the opposite high ground, and for a while there was no other sound in the headquarters except for the ticking of telegrams.

"Whew, it seems that these two have fought blood." Finally, Guan Yue put down the binoculars and exhaled a turbid breath. The others lowered their binoculars as well, exhaling the gloomy in their chests at about the same time. "These guys are really dead, such a big casualty can still fight to the death, although it is not a good thing, but it can be regarded as a bloody man."

"The tactics and training of the Russians and the Japanese may not be worthy of emulation, but their fighting spirit is really admirable." A battalion commander spoke. "I'm thinking, my lords, although our new army of martial arts is also well-disciplined and has high morale, in the face of this life-and-death struggle, can we persevere, can we beat the opponent's crazy momentum?"

"I have to admit that our equipment is by no means weaker than that of our opponents, and the training strategy proposed by Marshal Wu is still to the point, with our weapons and equipment, as long as we are not suddenly cut into our position by the opponent, relying on artillery fire suppression and infantry light weapons superiority, we may not suffer losses even if we are one to five in defense, but if it is an encounter battle, especially in hand-to-hand combat, whether the courage of our soldiers can persist for a long time, even if the officers can hold on without collapsing, it is debatable." Wu Luzhen concluded: "It seems that this dispatch of troops is the marshal who provides us with an opportunity to experience the war first-hand, so that we can experience the gap with the armies of the great powers of Japan and Russia at zero distance, this gap is not only in terms of equipment and training, but also honor, responsibility and the courage to fight to the death." In a word, no matter how good our training is and how advanced our equipment is, as long as we don't go to the battlefield and fight bloodily, we will always be a vase on the table, and we will be a kind of goods. ”

"Shou Qing is right, the elite soldiers are not trained on the training ground, but from the battlefield, from the pile of dead people." A voice rang out in the doorway of the command headquarters. Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to find out who was talking loudly, but when they saw the figure in an iron-gray military uniform striding forward, they all hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Good seat." ”

Dare to say that Cao Cao Cao arrived, it was Wu Chenxuan and Wu Dashuai himself, who led the cavalry and a battalion of infantry to turn the rear of the Russian army upside down.

I know why Wu Chenxuan was able to arrive in time at this juncture, and I also want to talk about a magical journey after this guy escaped from Linghaiji.
