A tracer bullet passed by, and Brushov, who was relaxed and comfortable just now, broke out in a cold sweat. Turning his head and looking, good guy, the four planes behind him followed in the blink of an eye, and the speed was no less than 200 kilometers, where was the Fokker plane that his old cow pulled the broken car could dodge. And how can this plane have a machine gun? It's still a direct shot type.

But soon he didn't have to be curious, because he found that the other party's two planes had flown to his sides, flying side by side with himself, and the two planes behind him were like guards with rifles, he saw the opponent's airborne machine gun shooting, and also understood that his plane was definitely not the opponent of the other party.

In this case, Bryushov felt that he was certain to die, but calmed down and observed the opponent's plane, the opponent was a biplane fighter with a small wingspan, but looking at the opponent's engine was full of power, and he could see that the opponent's flaps were already half-bent, which was obviously a slowing effect, of course, in order to synchronize with himself. This discovery made Bryushov feel very ashamed, he thought that his plane was also advanced, but he didn't expect the other party to deliberately slow down in order to synchronize with him, but it is conceivable that the other party's limit speed must be far beyond his own, and if he escapes, he is afraid that he will be humiliated. The other party's military emblem does not seem to be a red circle like the Japanese, but a symbol similar to the eagle emblem, isn't it the Japanese? Bryshev was a little confused, but he had seen in the newspaper that the first and second London Paris Air Races seemed to be won by Chinese, and the British actually stopped the competition in a fit of anger, could it be these guys who participated?

While Bryushov was thinking nonsense, one of the pilots on the other side held up a large wooden board, on which was written in German in simple and clear terms: "We are Chinese, you give up resistance and follow me." Bryushov was very interested in how the opposing planes could fire machine guns from the nose of the plane, and there seemed to be no other choice in this situation, especially since the two opposing planes were behind and a precise burst of fire passed between the left and right wings, and the warning was very clear.

So Bryushov was not able to repeat his legendary experience, but had to land at the Zhucheng airfield and gloriously became a prisoner of war of the Chinese Defense Forces.

In the early morning of September 28, the Japanese army sent two squadrons of troops to launch a sneak attack on Fushan in the dark. Due to the high mountain and steep road, at 3:30 a.m., these Japanese troops were suddenly fired by German rifle fire, and because they could not distinguish the position of the other side, they had to send a small detachment of 15 people to detour back to the southeast foot of the German position to search, and the rest of the Japanese troops scattered and continued to advance towards the German position.

At 4:30, the Japanese army was again under heavy fire from the Germans, so they had to lie down on the spot and observe the surrounding terrain. Approaching 5 o'clock, the sky was slightly white, and the visibility of the Japanese troops had reached a distance of twenty or thirty meters, and finally the position of the main force of the German position was discovered. In the fierce fire, at 5:20, the Japanese squadron leader Kahei Sato was killed. Chitaro Oka of the Japanese Army, who succeeded him, was also shot and killed when he rushed about 40 meters in front of the German formation.

At about 5:30 a.m., the sky was bright, and the Japanese squads were only about 15 meters away from the German position, and they launched a charge on the almost vertical cliff. The German soldiers stationed there still fiercely resisted, and many Japanese soldiers were hit and rolled down the cliff. The Japanese then changed tactics and attracted the attention of the Germans with a large force onslaught on the eastern flank of the heights, while sending soldiers to climb the tall raised boulders and shoot downward over the heads of the Germans. Then, the Japanese sent death squads to climb the cliff and concentrated several top marksmen to block the German troops in the direction of the cliff.

The battle lasted until 10 a.m., when large Japanese forces concentrated at the foot of the hill and fired at the Germans stationed at Fushan. At 11:30 a.m., the Germans had no choice but to raise a white flag and surrender to the Japanese. At about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army occupied the heights around Fushan, captured 58 German soldiers, and captured a large number of weapons and ammunition. The Japanese army finally announced that 24 Japanese officers and soldiers were killed and nearly 100 were wounded.

At 12:30 on October 2, about 30 German soldiers attacked from the front and flank of the Japanese positions in two directions. The Japanese officers who were inspecting halfway up the mountain hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat to the top of the mountain and hold on. A German machine gun squad carrying two heavy machine guns crossed the Haibo River from the direction of Taitung Town to the avenue about 50 meters northeast of the bridge, set up machine guns and fired fiercely at the top of the hill in all directions. The Germans who rushed up the hill were repulsed by the Japanese, who had fewer troops, and after retreating, they joined up with the Germans at the Haibo Bridge guard post.

German heavy machine guns fired until 1 p.m. At this time, the 12 German field guns located on the east side of Taitung Town also began to bombard the Japanese troops on the Sifang Mountain, but due to the long distance, the Japanese casualties were not large. After 10 minutes, the Germans ceased fire on all fronts, and three German soldiers carrying red cross flags and stretchers walked out of the Haibo River Bridge guard post and came to the foot of the Sifang Mountain to carry away the dead and wounded.

In the afternoon of the same day, the commander of the 48th Wing of the Japanese Army believed that the Germans might attack again that night, so he sent an infantry squad and a heavy machine gun squad to support the Japanese troops in Sifang Mountain. At about 8 o'clock in the evening, the German field artillery positions began to bombard the 54-meter-high ground of Sifang Mountain. At 9:15 a.m. on the 3rd, he turned around and fired at the surrounding area of the mountain. The Japanese found about 60 German troops at the front of the position, slowly approaching the Sifang Mountain, which was held by the Japanese army. It turned out that there were about 300 German troops behind the German vanguard, and the troops suddenly attacked the Sifang Mountain, 2 kilometers east of the coastal fortress, in three directions.

This day is the thirteenth day of the ninth month of the local lunar calendar, the full moon is not full, and the visibility is good. The Japanese army blocked the path leading to the village of Dongwujia in the saddle area about 200 meters southeast of the 58-meter-high ground of Sifang Mountain. When the Germans reached about 200 meters away from the Japanese position, the Japanese suddenly fired fiercely, and the Germans immediately dispersed and returned fire.

At 9:30, another German army attacked the left side of the Japanese position from the direction of Dongwujia Village, and quickly rushed to five or six meters in front of the Japanese position. The Germans then retreated after 10 minutes of strong attack. At this time, there was still fierce fighting on the front of the position.

The fierce battle lasted until 10:20 p.m., when Japanese reinforcements arrived, and the Germans began to retreat to the starting point in front of the mountain and return to Taitung Town by car.

That night, the Japanese strengthened their forces in Sifang Mountain and sent outposts to guard the direction of the coastal fortress to prevent another night attack by the Germans. After the incident, the representatives of the Japanese army and the German army jointly negotiated and buried the dead German officers and soldiers on the mountain northeast of Sifang Mountain.

After clearing the outer defensive line of the German army stationed in Qingdao, the Japanese army advanced to the city of Qingdao at that time. The last line of defense of the German army consisted of five fortresses, of which the central fortress was located on the present-day Zhenjiang North Road. The Germans knew very well that once the defense line of the five major fortresses was broken, the German army would have no danger to defend and would no longer be able to organize effective resistance, so they deployed heavy troops on the defense line of the five fortresses. As a result, the two sides entered a stalemate until the evening of October 6, 1914.

The Japanese forces attacking the central fortress of the German army were the 56th Infantry Wing of the Yamada Brigade (Kurume Unit), and the 3rd Brigade (led by Nakajima Shosa) led by Wing Commander Garten Daisa served as the main attack. On the evening of October 6, the visibility was good, and you could see the scenery dozens of meters away. At 5:30 p.m., a squad of engineers first came to the front of the outer trench and cut a large gap 6 meters wide in the barbed wire, and then braved the machine gun fire of the German army in the direction of the northern fortress of Xiaozhan Mountain to cut a hole in the barbed wire of the inner trench. At 6:30 p.m., the engineer squad used explosives to collapse the walls of the German outer trenches, while opening huge passages in both directions for the infantry commandos to charge. The accompanying scouts carefully observed the German fire deployment and the direction of the assault in front of the formation, and made a detailed report to the brigade headquarters after returning.

Based on the report, Kato concluded that it was possible for the Japanese to break through the German defenses here. Moreover, after repeated attacks in recent days, the German army's will to fight has become exhausted and depressed. In addition, the Germans were generally more alert at dawn. Therefore, at this time, all the forces of the German army should be deployed in field fortifications to wait for the enemy to surprise them. It was precisely because of the German army's passive and old-fashioned operational principle that the Japanese army created an excellent opportunity for a surprise attack.

At about 8 o'clock that night, the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army asked the artillery to stop bombarding the central fortress. At 9:30 p.m., a small detachment of infantry, assisted by an engineering detachment, was sent to the front of the central fortress to carry out a surprise attack. Japanese sappers, under the cover of heavy machine guns, destroyed the barbed wire fence of the outer trench by nearly 100 meters, and also expanded the two assault passages to a width of 10 meters. If he succeeds this time, he will be followed by a squadron of infantry. At 10:30 p.m., the 3rd Squadron of the 10th Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army set out. At this time, the Germans also seemed to observe the intention of the Japanese to attack the central fortress, and from 10 o'clock in the evening, the German rear batteries opened artillery bombardment on the third attack position of the Japanese center group. At 11:30 a.m., the Japanese assault team advanced to the front of the central fortress amid German artillery bombardment.

At 0:50 a.m. on October 7, the artillery of the Japanese brigade used grenadiers and mortars to shell the rear positions of the German central fortress and the north side of the north fortress of Xiaozhan Mountain, but the central fortress did not return fire. At 1 o'clock in the morning, the engineer detachment set up three ladders at the bottom of the trench, and the Japanese troops quietly and quickly entered the outer trench, quietly stepped forward in the night, dismantled the barbed wire fence on the high slope of the front of the fort, and climbed over the inner trench to the front of the shelter.

At this time, the German fortress was still so quiet. At 1:15 a.m., after the sappers dismantled the electronically controlled mines laid in front of the German central fortress, the Japanese squad, led by Second Lieutenant Nakamura, occupied the skirmish trenches in the front line of the German army, and came to a place about 50 meters away from the German shelter to conduct a close reconnaissance of the surrounding terrain of the shelter department. Suddenly, the Germans on duty at the fortifications spotted the Japanese attack, and 11 panicked Germans blocked the path to the shelter with heavy machine guns on the north side of the fort. Seeing this, the Japanese commandos immediately made a detour to the southern slope of the fort and used the tall shelter to block the German machine-gun bullets. But the sudden discharge of a volley of mortar shells from the fortress made the Japanese attack meaningless, because the white phosphorus in these shells illuminated the entire position, and the Japanese moved under the threat of German machine guns, and the Japanese had to retreat after losing a squad.

At 1:20 a.m. on October 7, the Japanese commandos returned to the rear of the fortress in two ways, and when they came to less than 30 meters in front of the gate of the huge concealment department, they found that only a German surveillance sentry was on duty outside. However, the Germans in the fortress were not frightened, but decisively pressed the handle of the detonator, a burst of smoke rose, and the explosion was not loud, but dozens of standard directional mines arranged on the position cleaned the surrounding positions without dead ends, and the Japanese commandos who were killed and wounded had to ask for tactical guidance again.

The Germans also changed from the conservative stereotypes of the past, and the counterattack came very quickly and effectively, and groups of soldiers armed with short-barreled shotguns and Mauser* pistols quickly got out of the bunkers and shelters, and charged through the trenches to the Japanese retreating team, after a burst of random gunfire, the Japanese retreat turned into a disorderly rout, and the Germans took the opportunity to restore some of the occupied trenches and pillboxes. However, when the Japanese rushed to the open field, the Germans did not pursue again, except for a few bursts with Madsen light machine guns and then went all out to repair the fortifications, there was no offensive action, so that a wing of the Japanese army that had been assembled behind felt ignored, but they could not do anything about the German troops who had re-retreated into the turtle shell.
