At the time of the decisive battle between the combined fleet of the Japanese State and the fleet of the Huaxia Army, not only the soldiers and civilians near the Beiyang Naval Division and Weihaiwei were very concerned, but also the officers and men of the Fifth Japanese Army who were besieging the Beiyang Naval Division on land were also very concerned.

However, the combined fleet of the Japanese state was not only defeated, but also suffered a very bad defeat, and after the silence of the cannons on the sea, there was not even a single warship left.

Since the start of the war, the Fifth Army of the Japanese Army has been advancing triumphantly, sweeping Weihai, and almost annihilating the entire Beiyang Naval Division, but unexpectedly, at the last moment, the time fell short, and suddenly killed a Chinese fleet, making everything come to naught.

The entire Fifth Officers and Men of the Japanese State were silent in their hearts, and they didn't know what to do.

This also made Kodama Gentaro's heart heavy.

At the age of 43, Kodama Gentaro was a famous general of the Japanese Army, known as the "first wise general of the Meiji period", and was known as the three heroes of the Meiji Army along with Katsura Taro and Kawakami Soroku.

But at this moment, the combined fleet was completely annihilated, lost sea supremacy, lost logistics supplies, and the first wise general of the Japanese country had no choice.

After the destruction of the Combined Fleet, the Fifth Army of the Japanese Army was certainly the first to be annihilated.

What to do?

After Gentaro Kodama put down the binoculars, he couldn't say a word.

Suddenly, there was a fierce sound of gunfire and the sound of people shouting and neighing horses from the deep land direction of the Jiaodong Peninsula.

"What's going on?"

Gentaro Kodama hurriedly raised the binoculars, turned the direction, and looked at the land depth of the Jiaodong Peninsula, only to see the wolf smoke there, and it was obvious that there was a fierce battle on land.

Kodama Gentaro sighed in his heart: It's just that the Qing State's big pigtail army is coming to attack, but if it is the Nanyang Huaxia Army, the situation will be worse......

When it's dark.

A few fast horses carrying a few grizzled heralds galloped from several directions and reported extremely bad news to Kodama Gentaro:

The Huaxia Army had already landed on a large scale in the areas of Wendeng, Haiyang, and Muping, which were besieging Weihai, and launched an attack on the Japanese army from several directions at the same time.

In fact. The landing operation of the Chinese Army Army was carried out earlier than the decisive naval battle.

Originally, according to the law of general sea and land warfare, if the sea supremacy is not seized, the army generally cannot act rashly, but. Based on the comparison of naval forces between the two sides, the General Staff of the Huaxia Army knew that the combined fleet of the Japanese State would be defeated, so it planned a plan for the navy and army to act at the same time.

When the main fleet of the navy approached the combined fleet of the Japanese army, the 100,000 landing troops, under the command of Liang Kunri, began to approach the landing beachhead on more than 300 steam-engine ships.

The landing beachhead chosen by the Huaxia Army was Haiyang, Wendeng, and Muping, which were 50 or 60 kilometers away from the Weihai battlefield.

For the sudden appearance of the huge Chinese army fleet, the Qing soldiers were stunned.

The Huaxia Army was pre-arranged with undercover personnel in these places. At the same time as the large-scale landing, the undercover officers quickly found the officers of the Qing army, told them that now even the capital has been recovered by the Huaxia army, and asked the Qing army to immediately get out of the way and let the Huaxia army pass through to rescue the Weihai battlefield.

Seeing such a huge army, the Qing army was already frightened, where did they dare to have the slightest idea of blocking, anyway, let the Huaxia army fight to the death with the Japanese state. This is not disobedience to the emperor's order.

There were also some Qing troops who were hesitant and slow to move, and Liang Kunri was furious, and ordered to fire fiercely at the fields near these Qing positions, warning them to quickly get out of the way.

Firing of mortars, infantry guns, and recoilless guns of the Huaxia Army.

Because of its very simple design, the artillery positions were arranged very quickly, and the commander said that if he wanted to shell, he could quickly shell them.

A fierce artillery bombardment made the Qing army so frightened that they quickly ran away and made way for the Chinese army at the end of the naval battle. Quickly approached in front of the Japanese position.

Seeing that the Chinese army was flocking to the Chinese army, they thought that the Qing army had reinforced, and they didn't care that their own naval fleet had been completely wiped out, and the Qing army's performance all the time made these Japanese army still not know whether they were alive or dead after the great defeat of the navy, and even thought that the Chinese army was still thousands of miles away, and still very arrogantly had the idea of seizing the Qing army to take advantage of it.

As a result, the three Japanese armies, numbering about five or six thousand people, rushed out of their positions and attacked the marching contingent of the Huaxia Army without consulting the army commander, Gentaro Kodama of the army.

"A few Japanese soldiers are looking for death!" Liang Kunri was worried that the Japanese army would not be able to fight if they were cowering on the position, and he couldn't imagine that the Japanese army would rush out and send them to death, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ordered: "All the Japanese army that rushes out of the position will destroy them!" ”

At this time, in the Huaxia Army, the infantry used a unified 7.92 mm caliber bullet gun family, the squad had a gun family caliber bullet, the squad used light machine guns, the platoon had recoilless guns, the company had heavy machine guns and mortars, the battalion level had infantry guns, and the regiment level had field artillery.

The vanguard units of the Huaxia Army, under the command of officers at all levels, immediately searched for concealment on the spot, spread out battle formations, and formed a field position firepower network with all kinds of light and heavy weapons. ”

The Japanese army always thought that it was a large Qing army, and rushed towards it violently.

The officers of the Japanese army were still strange: "Why are they so close, and these Qing troops still don't fire?" ”

Since the Qing army and the Japanese army clashed, every time the Qing army was in battle, the Japanese army had not yet entered the effective range of single-shot rifles, and the Qing army hurriedly opened fire.

This method of fighting, it seems to be very lively, the Qing soldiers' rifles are red in the breech, but in fact it has no effect, and there are few Japanese soldiers who are killed or wounded.

However, the Japanese army endured it, and waited until it rushed within a distance of 100 meters before suddenly launching a fierce salvo at the Qing army, and the Qing army was rushing to load the single-shot rifle at this time, and the Japanese army's bullets flew just enough to kill a large number of Qing soldiers, which often achieved the effect of quickly defeating the Qing army.

This was a tactic that the Japanese army tried and tested many times in the First Sino-Japanese War.

But the Huaxia army endured it and didn't fire a single shot, which made the Japanese army who had already rushed into a distance of 100 meters wonder.

The Huaxia army lay quietly on the ground and did not fire, and the Japanese army had no choice but to continue to rush forward.

The Japanese army rushed to a distance of 50 meters, and some nervous Japanese soldiers couldn't help it, pulled the trigger and opened fire. As a result, many nervous Japanese soldiers followed and pulled the trigger and opened fire.

For a while, the gunshots rang out one after another, and the Japanese army fought very lively, but the bullets flew over the heads of the Huaxia army. (To be continued.) )
