Chapter 148: The Fishing Spring Escapes Alive
c_t; When the main force of the Japanese army learned the news of the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, the crowd was excited, and their morale suddenly rose, no one wanted to die unjustly at the foot of this man's mountain, and no one wanted to die if they could walk out alive!
In an instant, the main force of the Japanese army, more than 7,000 people, began a frantic attack on Tang Keqiang's troops on the south side, trying to open a gap in the shortest possible time.
However, Tang Keqiang led the first battalion with the strongest combat power in the Qing army, and it was equipped with the most artillery and powerful firepower, which was not easy for the Japanese army to beat.
Tang Keqiang in the cold day of November, the upper body was stripped of a fine light, carrying a saber in his hand, standing at the forefront of the position to command the battle, the Qing army under the inspiration of Tang Keqiang, repelled the Japanese army again and again crazy counterattacks, the Qing army's position remained immovable.
At this moment, the third battalion on the west side and the fourth battalion on the rear side, under the leadership of Li Gang and Tan Feng, also began a fierce attack, the two sides were entangled together, and the Qing and Japanese sides invested a total of about 60,000 troops near Zinan Mountain, and launched the final life-and-death struggle, which is a large-scale battle that is rare in the world after the Franco-Prussian War!
The three large battalions were at the foot of Zinan Mountain, and they were wearing down the sharpness of the main force of the Japanese army a little bit.
In the south of Zinan Mountain, the Yuquan Cave defended by Ma Yukun has encountered the biggest trouble.
Although the second battalion led by Ma Yukun has the strongest strength, its combat strength is average, and it stands to reason that 6,000 troops to defend Yuquan Cave is not something that the Japanese army can capture in the short term.
It's just that to Ma Yukun's surprise, the Japanese army on the opposite side was led by Japan's best general, Limi Shangwen.
Seeing that the storming of Yuquan Cave was blocked, Lijian Shangwen actually took a two-pronged approach and sent only more than a hundred international mercenaries, which was a special force that he had worked so hard to stay.
Lijian Shangwen ordered their first task to sneak into the high ground, wait for an opportunity to snipe Ma Yukun, and create chaos for the Qing army; The second task is to sneak attack the artillery positions of the Qing army and create the biggest trouble for the Qing artillery.
Under the reward. There will be brave men!
What's more, this is still a special elite force second only to the blue wolf, these international mercenaries came up with a bold idea, the mercenaries were divided into five combat groups, and the five Maxims of the Japanese army were disassembled, and each combat group carried a heavy machine gun. When you arrive at the predetermined location, assemble a few Makqin. Give the Qing army the greatest lethality at close range!
In this way, under the cover of heavy Japanese artillery fire, the international mercenaries began to infiltrate the high ground of the Qing army and carry out the battle plan.
In the artillery position of the Qing army, the artillerymen were nervously carrying the shells to return fire at the Japanese army, and at this time, the three international mercenary battle groups had quietly stood in their positions, nervously assembling the Makqin heavy machine gun.
One of the mercenaries chuckled under his breath, "Wait. Stupid Chinese, this time it's our turn to take revenge! ”
In a matter of moments, three heavy machine guns had been assembled, and three battle groups, all of a sudden, opened fire at the same time and launched a fierce attack on the artillery positions of the Qing army!
The unsuspecting artillery battalion of the Qing army was taken by surprise and suffered heavy casualties. The entire artillery position was in a panic.
Ma Yukun was standing in the middle of the position, directing the battle, and suddenly found that his artillery position had stopped shelling, and he was a little inexplicable, and shouted: "What's the matter? How the artillery stopped attacking! Heralds, heralds. See what's going on! ”
When Ma Yukun was drinking to himself, the international mercenary group hidden in the distance saw an unusually dressed general shouting and directing the battle.
The leading mercenary waved his hand and shouted, "Fight!" ”
A pinch of bullets ejected from the Maxim heavy machine gun!
Ma Yukun suddenly felt a numbness in his body, and then a huge pain reached his head, screamed, and fell into a pool of blood, just for a moment. Ma Yukun weighed seven or eight bullets, and was injured in the back and legs, fortunately Ma Qin was a little far away from Ma Yukun, otherwise, this bullet would kill Ma Yukun on the spot! Even so, Ma Yukun couldn't stand such a serious injury, and he fell unconscious.
The Qing army on the high ground was in great chaos, the commander of his own army was beaten unconscious, the group of dragons was leaderless, and at the same time, the artillery position encountered a sudden attack, and the entire second battalion of the Qing army was in chaos.
Seeing that the opponent's artillery position fell silent, he knew that the mercenary brigade had succeeded, and then, the Qing army on the opposite high ground was in chaos, and he was overjoyed.
Immediately saw Shangwen shouted: "Order, the artillery is fired to the maximum firepower, the heavy machine gun fire is suppressed, the infantry wing, charge me!" I'm going to take the high ground in one go! ”
The Japanese army saw that the Qing army on the opposite side was suddenly in chaos, and there was no discipline, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and rushed towards the high ground of Yuquan Cave.
The second battalion was originally a temporary battalion composed of the Zhenbian Army, the Yi Army, the Sheng Army and other departments, and without Ma Yukun's command, it fell into chaos for a while, fighting separately, and could no longer resist the fierce Japanese army.
In just ten minutes, the Qing army was defeated and retreated from the high ground.
On the high ground, more than 2,000 corpses of Qing soldiers and hundreds of corpses of Japanese soldiers remained. On the artillery position, the artillery battalion is the elite trained by Tan Feng and the blue wolf elite, seeing that the big thing is difficult to reverse, one of the main forces of the blue wolf shouted: "Concentrate the gunpowder and blow up more than a dozen heavy guns for me!" Can't be left to the Japanese army! ”
The artillerymen quickly gathered the gunpowder in the general, ignited **, and more than a dozen artillery pieces were destroyed, but unfortunately, the shells all over the ground were really difficult to destroy.
The artillerymen looked at it with pity, looked twice, and quickly withdrew from the high ground......
Lijian Shangwen led the Japanese army to finally ascend to the heights of Yuquandong, looked at the Qing and Japanese battlefields in the distance, and decisively ordered: "Order the whole army to advance immediately, regardless of the scattered Qing army, go straight to the outer edge of the Qing army in Zinan Mountain, launch the most fierce offensive against the Qing army that is besieging the main force of our army, and assist His Excellency the commander and General Yuanzhi of the mountain to tear a hole in the encirclement of the Qing army!" ”
The Japanese army, which had just been victorious, rushed towards Tang Keqiang's first battalion.
Tang Keqiang was directing the battle at the front of the position, and a pipe belt came to him, and said loudly: "Lord Commander, things have changed significantly, you hurry over and take a look, Lord Ma Yukun is about to die." ”
Tang Keqiang was taken aback, what? Ma Yukun? How did he run to his side, wasn't he with Li Gang in Songyue Mountain? And how did you get seriously injured?
Tang Keqiang grabbed the collar of the pipe belt and asked, "What's the matter, why did Master Ma appear here?" How did he get seriously injured? ”
Guan Dai hurriedly said: "My lord, you commanded the battle station too far forward, a large number of Japanese reinforcements came near Yuquan Cave, Lord Ma blocked the reinforcements in Yuquan Cave, but was seriously wounded, the second battalion could not withstand the Japanese offensive, and they were all defeated and retreated!" ”
"Ahh Tang Keqiang's face changed dramatically. (To be continued.) )
