c_t; The next day, when the sky was just dawning, Nogi Noshinori had not yet waited for the frontal position to attack, and the 45th Infantry Wing had not yet arrived, and he was full of anger and launched a powerful offensive towards the second line of defense, and he had the momentum of not taking the position and vowing not to give up.

More than 1,000 Japanese troops continued to impact the Qing army's defense line, and the Qing army did not slack off, relying on the terrain, guarding the position to the death.

On the frontal position, Kuroki Weizhen also launched a huge offensive, and the heavy machine guns have been set up halfway up the mountainside, providing strong fire cover for the Japanese attack, and the heavy artillery on both sides has not stopped for a moment, and the shells have rained down on the opponent's position, and the dust of the position has a scorching feeling, which is suffocating. The two sides fought from morning to noon in one breath, and the battle continued, with the intention of not giving up until the goal was achieved.

In just one morning, the Qing army suffered hundreds of casualties, and now only 800 people remain in combat effectiveness, and the rest of the soldiers are either killed in battle or seriously injured, and cannot persist in fighting, and the entire Qing army's position is shrouded in a layer of tragedy.

Xu Huaijin didn't expect to be attacked so frantically, standing on the position, nervously directing the defensive operation, one after another battle orders were conveyed, and the Qing army was moving back and forth, where the situation was critical, they rushed to where to reads;.

Although the fortifications of the second line of defense were also very badly damaged, but still insisted on unwaveringly, after this battle, these Qing troops saw that this young commander was really different from other generals, the three-day battle, always stood at the forefront of the battle, did not avoid the smoke of gunpowder, took the lead, organized the battle, and was more comfortable and confident. There is no loophole, and they all have a strong respect for Xu Huaijin, as long as the officials are not afraid of death, then those of us who are soldiers are not afraid of death, just fight, we are not less arms and short legs than the Japanese army, who is afraid of whom!

The casualties of the Japanese were even greater. In just one morning, the Japanese troops on the frontal and flank positions had already paid for the lives of more than a thousand soldiers. In order to avoid the bullets of the Qing army, some Japanese soldiers pulled up the corpses of the dead Japanese soldiers to cover the attack, but still did not capture the second line of defense of the Qing army.

At noon, the Japanese army in the battle also mobilized the reserve 47th Infantry Wing, and replaced the 50th Infantry Wing, which still maintained a rapid attack momentum, while the Qing army was miserable, and Xu Huaijin had even sent reserves in order to hold the position. Under the strong defensive pressure, the Qing army had no time to eat at all, so they could only hold on.

In the afternoon, under the strong offensive and fire support of the Japanese army, the trench fortifications of the Qing army finally collapsed, and could no longer provide good cover, and the Japanese rushed to the position in one fell swoop.

Xu Huaijin, who was red-eyed, personally led the Qing army to rely on bayonets. The Japanese army was driven down, and the fierce battle seemed to have paid a heavy price for the four Qing military camps. Xu Haifeng's second battalion now has thirty people with him, and the other battalions also suffered heavy casualties.

Xu Huaijin roared angrily: "No matter what, we all die here." The Japanese army can't be allowed to rush over the Sky Ridge today! As long as the seriously wounded can still move, all of them will rise up to assist the machine gunners in replenishing ammunition, and the lightly wounded will go directly into battle, and we will be nailed to the position! ”

This Qing army followed Xu Huaijin to really play the prestige of the Qing army, and after a bloody battle, they have completely forgotten the fear of death, and only the consciousness of shooting and shooting is flickering in their minds. Forgot everything.

It lasted until late at night, and the Japanese army rushed to the Qing army's position three times, but was stubbornly driven down by the Qing army.

There was a moment of silence on the ground, and both sides were preparing for the next engagement.

Xu Huaijin looked at the Qing army in front of him, the flank position was completely lost, only the last piece of high ground in front of him was left, and the Qing army that could keep fighting was still 400 people, and even the shells brought by him had been exhausted, and the bullets were only able to cope with a big battle.

Xu Huaijin frowned tightly and looked at Zhang Enyuan, a Shandong man who had become his most relied on confidant since he returned to the country, and he was already exhausted at the moment.

Xu Huaijin shouted: "Enyuan, Qingyou, if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid that few of our people here will be able to leave Motianling alive." Now I'll teach you one of the toughest tasks! ”

Zhang Enyuan straightened up and replied firmly: "My lord, tell me, when did I disappoint you with Lao Meng, in the midst of difficulties, we will also complete it!" ”

Xu Huaijin said: "Now the Japanese army has been stationed halfway up the mountain, and the terrain is complex, which is more conducive to your covert attack. The task I want to give you is to go down the mountain again, sneak attack the Japanese headquarters, and not seek to kill Kuroki Weizhen, but only to make him dare not act rashly. If the Japanese launch another night attack, we will not be able to hold out anyway. I can only rely on you blue wolves! Bring all the remaining dozens of grenades, and a few more cartridges of bullets, and remember, you must beat the Japanese soldiers hard before they can withdraw and give you twenty minutes to fight. After twenty minutes, you must evacuate quickly, otherwise you will all be in danger, without you, my adult will not be far from returning to the position, the instructor is personally ** let me bring you all the feathers back to him! ”

Zhang Enyuan's heart was full of enthusiasm, and in the end, the adults trusted and relied on their own wolves the most, and they cared most about their own wolves!

Zhang Enyuan's throat was hot, and he said firmly: "Don't worry, my lord, I was brought out by you." Don't disgrace an adult! I'm going down to prepare, and I'm sure to make the little devil scared! ”

Xu Huaijin continued: "You all go down and prepare, the artillery battalion is now evacuated, retreat to the Nanbang battery, and the next four battalions will be evacuated one after another, don't make any moves." Enyuan, after your night attack, you have to hold on to the position until dawn, after five o'clock in the morning, quickly evacuate, rush to the Nanbang battery, I think with your speed, you should be able to evacuate soon, no Japanese army can catch up with you! ”

Zhang Enyuan stopped talking, nodded, nodded to the blue wolf's brother, and went down to prepare.

The Japanese position under the mountain, Kuroki Weizhen's tired face was filled with a smile of victory, as long as one more attack was launched tonight, I am afraid that the Qing army would not be able to support it.

Kuroki called Nogi Noshinori and other important generals for Zhenzhen to discuss the next move, and when several people were discussing in the tent, they didn't know that the blue wolf had already touched it again.
