When the final attack on Songyue Mountain was launched, the battle on the side of Zinan Mountain was already in full swing.

Eager to support the Fifth Division, Tachimi Shangwen led a whole brigade of more than 5,000 people, and quickly advanced towards Songyue Mountain, encountering frequent resistance from the blue wolf brigade on the way, and finally Limi Shangwen saw that the time was delayed for too long, and simply ordered the cavalry squadron to rush to Songyue Mountain, launch a surprise attack on the Qing army on the south side of Songyue Mountain, tear a gap, and save the Fifth Division.

He led the main force of the brigade to follow up behind, accelerated the march, and just after half a day, he saw that the front was dusty, and the cavalry squadron turned back with a disgraced face.

Seeing that Shangwen was shocked, he called the cavalry captain to inquire about the situation, only to know that the Qing army had already set up an ambush on Zinan Mountain, and the cavalry squadron was careless, and was swept into a large area by the Qing army's heavy machine gun team, and retreated in panic. The captain of the Qing army did not dare to rush into the army under the condition that the enemy situation was unknown, so he had to temporarily join the main force of the brigade first.

After listening to the report of the cavalry, he was very anxious, the Qing army set up an ambush in Zinan Mountain, and the intention of blocking his brigade was quite obvious, plus there had been a small force to block him before, it seems that the fifth division has really fallen into the encirclement of the Qing army, and I don't know how long the fifth division can support.

Lijian Shangwen roared: "Order, the whole army is advancing at full speed, at all costs, we must take Zinan Mountain in the shortest possible time and meet the Fifth Division to break through!" ”

Seeing that Shangwen has always been wise and brave, and has a great reputation in the Japanese military circles, he is a rare cadre, and he knows in his heart that the Fifth Division must not be allowed to be here, otherwise, the battle of Korea will be dangerous!

The 10th Brigade, under the command of Naofumi Tachimi, advanced at full speed and arrived at the foot of Zinan Mountain in only two hours.

Lijian Shangwen held a telescope and watched the movement of Zinan Mountain from a distance. There was silence on Zinan Mountain, but you can also vaguely see the rows of fortifications built above, it seems that the Qing army has long been ready, to eat the fifth division, the Qing army was arranged here early, and the task of blocking is undoubtedly, the tenth brigade will encounter the first hard battle since entering the DPRK!

Lijian Shangwen said in a deep voice: "Order the artillery to conceal their positions, launch an artillery bombardment towards Zinan Mountain, order Xiao Zuoyi's squadron to prepare for a tentative attack, test the firepower arrangement on Zinan Mountain, and arrange the two wings of the brigade side by side, depending on the battle situation, take turns to attack, don't leave a chance for the Qing army on Zinan Mountain to breathe, until Zinan Mountain is taken!" ”

On Zinan Mountain, Zuo Guigui held a telescope, watching the murderous Japanese army in front, his face was solemn, it seems that the Japanese army who arrived this time should not be less than 5,000 people, and I don't know which part of the Japanese army is it.

Zuo Guigui said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, and all battalions will immediately enter a state of combat readiness and prepare for battle!" ”

Only four or five minutes after Zuo's military order was issued, the Japanese artillery fire had already burned Zinan Mountain. First of all, the Japanese artillery squadron poured down towards Zinan Mountain, the whole Zinan Mountain fell into a sea of fire, the Qing troops in the trench tunnels were robbed and coughed constantly, and a small number of unlucky Qing troops were injured or even killed by shell fragments and broken rocks, but Zuo's precious Feng army deserved to be the first-class elite of the Qing army, not moving in the trenches, not panicking, waiting for the Japanese army's next attack on the mountain.

The shelling lasted for about fifteen minutes, and the small Zinan Mountain had been blown up beyond recognition, and immediately saw Shang Wen looking at the artillery fire on Zinan Mountain, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was a little unsteady in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Limi Shangwen ordered: "Xiao Zonan, lead your squadron to carry out a tentative attack, remember not to be reckless, first probe the firepower of the Qing army, feint and attack!" ”

"Hay!" Shino Zoio agreed, and began to command his subordinates to attack the mountain, and hundreds of Japanese troops poured towards Zinan Mountain like a tide.

Zuo Guihu's eyes widened, glaring at the advance of the Japanese army, and shouted: "The whole army is fighting back!" ”

The gunfire on the first line of defense of the Feng army was loud, like a burst of beans, the heavy machine gun spat out tongues of fire, and the bullets were sprayed towards the Japanese army, and suddenly, dozens of Japanese soldiers in the front were swept down by machine gun bullets and rifle bullets, and the Japanese troops behind quickly looked for support, hidden, and fired back, and the two sides were stalemate on the battlefield. Immediately afterwards, the six artillery brought by the Feng army also began to shell and fired at the Japanese army.

Seeing Shang Wen watching from the bottom of the mountain, his brows furrowed, and after ten minutes of shelling, it seemed that the damage to the fortifications on Zinan Mountain was not as serious as imagined.

Immediately saw Shang Wen shouted: "Order, the artillery quickly adjust the shooting of Zhu Yuan, lock the artillery position of the Qing army, concentrate the attack, and destroy the artillery of the Qing army for me!" ”

Although Zuo Guigui is a famous veteran of the late Qing generation, after all, he came out of the era of cold weapons, and has not experienced too many hot weapon wars, and he is not very proficient in the war thinking and combat mode of hot weapons.

The well-trained Japanese artillery, the rapid adjuster fired at Zhu Yuan, locked the artillery position on Zinan Mountain, and in an instant, dozens of shells poured onto the Japanese artillery position, and only the first round of artillery firing, three heavy guns of the Feng army's artillery were close to scrapping and lost their power.

The artillery on Zinan Mountain quickly fell silent.

Lijian Shangwen shouted: "The No. 1 Wing will immediately go into attack, and the artillery will immediately cover the fire and storm Zinan Mountain!" ”

On the Japanese artillery position, the Japanese artillery kept loading shells into the Krupp heavy artillery, and more than ten kilograms of shells fell on Zinan Mountain without interruption. This attack was the real killer weapon of the Japanese army, and the fierce artillery fire was several times more fierce than the first attack, and it had the potential to overturn Zinanshan.

Zuo Guigui's face was completely bare, he really didn't expect that the Japanese army on the opposite side would be so cunning and brave in battle, seeing that the Japanese army had approached the first line of defense, the soldiers of the Feng army began to be a little nervous.

Zuo Guigui took out his waist knife, stood in front of the trench, and shouted: "Brothers, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while, and the time has come to serve the court, fight me hard!" ”

Under the suppression of Japanese artillery fire, the Qing army stubbornly carried out a counterattack, and after just over an hour, there were eight or nine hundred casualties on both sides!

Seeing that Shang Wen had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, the Qing army on the opposite side was brave, but unfortunately they lacked a trace of combat familiarity, and they were afraid that they would not be able to withstand their own attacks. Before it gets dark, we can take down Zinan Mountain and continue to attack Songyue Mountain!
