c_t; When Tang Keqiang heard Guan Tie's words, he finally couldn't stay still, and his face changed dramatically, and he shouted: "Shixiao, take full command here instead of me, I'll go back and take a look!" ”

After that, Tang Keqiang followed the leader as if he was in the wind, and came to the front of the second battalion of the rout. It was a part of the town border army of the second battalion that came to the first battalion, and under the leadership of the commander Shoushan, retreated to the position of the first battalion.

Tang Keqiang shouted angrily: "Shoushan, where is Lord Ma? ”

Shoushan gasped and said, "Lord Tang, Master Ma is still unconscious, I'm afraid I'm going to die......"

Tang Keqiang said angrily: "Lord Shoushan, you led 6,000 people, how long did it take for the Japanese army to disperse?" Even if it's 6,000 pigs, the Japanese army can't slaughter them so quickly, you, how can you be worthy of the Admiral? ”

Shoushan said: "Lord Tang, the Japanese army sent a small group of elites to raid our artillery positions, and at the same time secretly sniped Master Ma, causing our army to be in turmoil, and the dragons were leaderless, and they couldn't resist the Japanese offensive at all, it was too violent......"

Tang Keqiang said: "In wartime, you should immediately gather the men and horses of the second battalion, and temporarily unify the command of the second battalion, you must resist, and you can't let the Japanese reinforcements reopen the position, otherwise we will lose all our efforts!" ”

Shoushan looked resentful and said: "Don't worry, my lord, our town border army is not vegetarian, so I will lead people to gather people and continue to fight!" ”

Shoushan angrily led people down to prepare for the second battle.

Tang Keqiang hurriedly arranged for someone to take Ma Yukun and sent him back to Kaicheng for treatment.

In less than twenty minutes, Naowen's team advanced and engaged in a fierce battle with the second battalion that Shoushan had gathered.

Without Ma Yukun's leadership, although Shoushan tried hard to restrain the men and horses, he still couldn't withstand the attack of Lijian Shangwen, and retreated one after another, and soon retreated to Tang Keqiang's position.

Tang Keqiang had no choice but to urgently allocate the main force of the old front battalion after the reorganization. Go to help stop Naowen Tsumi.

Seeing the change in the position of the Qing army on the south side, the artillery fire of the Japanese reinforcements was getting closer and closer, and they were more excited, and they ordered the remaining thousands of Japanese troops to attack desperately, and the Japanese army flocked to the first battalion like a tide.

The first battalion was under the command of Zhao Shixiao. The fire of the Maxim machine gun was fired to the maximum, but it still could not suppress the Japanese offensive. At the same time, the main force of the old front battalion was transferred, and there were defensive dead ends on the position.

The veteran mountain Motoji saw the loopholes in the position at a glance, and hurriedly ordered: "The whole army concentrates all its firepower, storms the position in the southeast direction, transfers all the heavy machine guns, and suppresses the fire!" Offensive! ”

The weak link of the first battalion finally collapsed under the internal and external attack of the Japanese army, and the Japanese infantry poured up like a tide, and the Qing troops had no choice but to pick up their rifles and start a hand-to-hand white-knuckle battle!

After the two sides stirred together. The firepower advantage of the Qing army was no longer difficult to play, and the Japanese army, which was outnumbered, desperately broke through the encirclement, united as one, and finally tore a hole in the encirclement, and the Japanese army rushed all the way to the south.

Tang Keqiang was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and stretched out his hand. Gave himself two resounding slaps in the face.

At this time, Bagen's cavalry battalion and the third battalion led by Tan Feng also arrived one after another, and the two of them hurriedly stopped Tang Keqiang's self-abuse.

Tang Keqiang's eyes were on fire, and he shouted: "Bagen, you immediately lead the cavalry battalion to follow and pursue, and Tan Feng and I will arrive later." We're going to have to stop them anyway this time! Otherwise, we'll just wait to be cleaned up! ”

The battalion of Bagen shouted and led the cavalry battalion to rush down.

Besides, Oyama Iwa and Yamachi Genji led six or seven thousand Japanese troops finally escaped from Shengtian, and they didn't dare to stay for a moment, and fled south in a hurry, and finally joined forces with Tachimi Naowen.

Immediately saw that Shangwen looked at the big mountain rock and the mountain Motoji, angry and anxious. The 20,000-strong army, in just a few hours, suffered more than half of the casualties, and its vitality was greatly damaged.

Lijian Shangwen complained: "Your Excellency, Commander, why are you two so careless, knowing that the terrain here is narrow and long, and it is the most vulnerable to ambush, and you don't send scouts to find out the news, you ......"

Yamachi Motoji's face was gloomy, and he replied: "Immediately see you, this matter really shouldn't be, I and His Excellency the Commander were careless for a while, so we were defeated." However, no one would have imagined that the Qing army would bury so many ** here! It's okay for people to step on it, and when half of the army has already passed, it suddenly explodes, and in just an instant, our strength of nearly 5,000 people, plus most of the artillery wing, has all turned into ashes! We hate it! ”

Seeing Shangwen said helplessly: "Don't talk about the rest, now we have serious losses in troops, and the heavy weapons are too badly damaged, and we don't have the strength to compete with the Qing army anymore, I will lead the troops to block here, you and Your Excellency the commander quickly retreat, reorganize the team, the Qing army will not be so resigned, the movement is slow, we can't go!" ”

Da Shanyan nodded and said, "In this way, I will work hard for you, and I will see you." ”

Oyama Iwa and Yamachi Genji led the remnants of the defeated army and quickly retreated to the south.

It only took more than ten minutes for Bagen's cavalry battalion to pursue him.

Yamachi Motoji ordered: "As soon as the cavalry of the Qing army enters the range of heavy machine guns, all the heavy machine guns will fire at the same time, and the cavalry battalion will be beaten back, and the cavalry will not be allowed to get close to our position!" ”

The Japanese received an order to see that the cavalry of the Qing army rushed to the edge of the firing range, and dozens of Makqin heavy machine guns opened fire together, blocking the road to death.

In just one shot, dozens of people from the cavalry battalion led by Bagan fell off their horses.

Seeing that the enemy's fire was fierce and it was difficult for the cavalry to approach, Bagan had no choice but to order the cavalry to retreat, and the cavalry battalion retreated like a tide.

When Bagan saw the crazy tongue of fire in the Japanese heavy machine gun position, he could only sigh in vain, the heavy machine gun was the natural nemesis of the cavalry, such a fierce firepower network, and when the cavalry rushed to him, he was afraid that he had already suffered casualties, such a thing, Bagan would never do it!

Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army had retreated, he still stayed not far away and did not leave, his brows furrowed, if the other party's cavalry kept hanging behind like this, he would encounter great trouble if he retreated.

Seeing Shang Wen look at the international mercenaries behind him, the old plan was repeated, and he ordered the international mercenaries to split into ten combat groups, replace them with Makqin heavy machine guns, and still re-disassemble them, occupy the commanding heights, and said: "You closely guard these key parts, and when you see the Qing cavalry rushing up, suddenly launch an attack, catch him off guard, don't fall in love with the war, just repel it, immediately disassemble the heavy machine gun, and then retreat, and make peace with us." ”

The new leader of the mercenaries nodded in agreement and began to split up.

Seeing that the mercenaries had already taken their respective positions, he began to order the rear army to change into the front army and retreat separately.

In the distance, Bagan was holding a telescope, and suddenly discovered the retreat of the Japanese army, knew that the opportunity had come, and roared angrily: "Brothers, charge!" (To be continued.) )
