Suddenly, the artillery fire of the Qing army on the peaks of the two wings became more intense, and after a burst of artillery fire, the Qing soldiers of the left battalion of the training army and the right battalion of the training army condescended and launched an attack on the Japanese army.

Nie Shicheng was anxious, success or failure in one move, if he couldn't defeat the Japanese army in front of him before the Japanese army in the north pounced on him, he was afraid that his five battalions of men and horses would have to explain here, but the Japanese army in front of him was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it was not easy to gnaw this hard bone!

On the road leading to Asan in Chenghuanyi, Zhang Yi was leading the brothers of the Blue Wolf Brigade to gallop like lightning, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the southern camp, but at this time he heard the sudden sound of gunfire at the northern foot of Asan Mountain.

Zhang Yi's face changed, and he knew in his heart that it must be Nie Shi who had formed troops to block the Japanese army attacking from the northern foothills, and if he didn't stop the Japanese army in the north, he was afraid that there would be a danger of annihilation.

Zhang Yi shouted: "Brothers, take a detour to the official road in the north foothills, we will go straight behind the Japanese army in the north and catch him off guard!" ”

With that, he took the horses and galloped towards the avenue next to him.

On the road leading to the southern foothills, the Japanese army and the deputy middle battalion were fighting fiercely, and the Japanese army was launching a fierce offensive against the deputy middle battalion with strong numbers and fierce firepower. The deputy lieutenant battalion stood on a high ground and desperately blocked the attack. In less than half an hour, the Japanese army had repelled four charges, but the deputy middle battalion also suffered heavy losses, the main battalion of more than 600 people, and now the soldiers who can maintain their combat strength are less than 400, and there are dead bodies everywhere in front of the hillside.

Li Gang had just led a sentry to defeat the Japanese charge, covered in blood, and his right arm was also shot by the Japanese army, hanging weakly. The battalion deputy next to him leaned into Li Gang's ear and shouted: "Commander, we are in a hurry to block the attack, the ammunition is not very sufficient, the shells are about to run out, without the suppression of artillery, it is difficult for us to resist the attack of foreign devils, what should we do!" ”

Li Gang roared: "If you can't stand it, you have to top it, and if you run out of ammunition, you will rush over to fight the bayonet for Lao Tzu!" If the position is lost, the Japanese artillery will have to face the military gate! Even if all the deputy middle battalions die here, they can't let the foreign devils advance half a step! ”

Oshima Yoshimasa on the opposite side was also secretly shocked in his heart, although the military quality of the Qing army on the opposite side was slightly inferior to that of the Japanese army, but this spirit of not fearing death was not bad! After several charges, the Japanese casualties have been four or five hundred, that is, they have just attacked the entire Beida Battalion, in the face of the three thousand Qing troops, the Japanese casualties have not exceeded 100 people, and the strength of only one battalion in front of them has brought such large casualties to themselves, and the gap between the two sides is so obvious.

Oshima Yoshimasa was also a little anxious in his heart, the mountains at the southern foot still don't know what the battle situation is, if they don't break through the position of the Qing army, and then annihilate Nie Shicheng's troops, this sneak attack will be completely meaningless.

Oshima Yoshimasa roared angrily: "Yaga, organize an offensive for me again, all the heavy artillery is fired, this time we must take the Qing army's high ground, if there is a retreat, shoot on the spot, the supervision team is in place, ready to enforce military law at any time!" ”

Chief of Staff Seto Motoyoshi on the side hesitated: "Your Excellency General, now, the resistance of the Qing army is very tenacious, and the weapons and ammunition are sufficient, we will be difficult to fight in a short time, it is better for us to retreat first, after all, our army camp was attacked by the Qing army, and now I don't know what the situation is." And Nanlu Shan Yijun led more than 2,000 elites to carry out a sneak attack, even if the situation changes, he can retreat with his whole body if he wants to, and the imperial army of Great Japan is not comparable to the stupid Shina pig. ”

Oshima Yoshimasa roared: "Baga, we worked hard to besiege Nie Shicheng, this army is the elite main force of the Qing army, if the tiger returns to the mountain at this moment, then it will be difficult to annihilate it in the future." Give me all the strength to attack, don't save ammunition, even if you blow up the hill for me, you must take the high ground on the opposite side! ”

"Hail"! Wing Commander Seto Motoyoshi hurriedly agreed and organized a second attack.

Suddenly, under the cover of artillery fire, hundreds of Japanese fresh troops once again advanced towards the high ground of the deputy middle battalion.

Li Gang saw an overwhelming charge of Japanese troops, and roared angrily: "All bayonets, follow Lao Tzu!" Hundreds of Qing troops watched Li Gang rush out first, and they were even more courageous, and they all shouted angrily, rushing towards the Japanese army, and the two armies were mixed together in an instant, and under the hillside, the sound of angry scolding, screams, and gunfire was mixed together, and there were broken arms and legs everywhere, and the gravel that was blown off by the shells had already been soaked in blood......

At this time, Zhang Yi's blue wolf brigade passed behind Oshima Yoshimasabu, and Zhang Yi shouted: "Everyone, target the artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions of the Oriental devils, charge me, you must break me up!" Charge! ”

The crowd shouted and rushed towards the back of the Japanese soldiers.

At this time, some Japanese soldiers discovered the movement of the blue wolf brigade and hurriedly reported to Oshima Yoshimasa: "Your Excellency General, there is a cavalry of the Qing army rushing behind us, only a few hundred meters away from us!" ”

Oshima Yoshimasa's face has changed greatly, now that his cavalry squadron has been transferred back to the rescue camp, how can he resist the charge of the opponent's cavalry without cavalry? Yoshimasa Oshima roared angrily: "Yaga! Heavy machine guns, heavy machine guns! Fire at me, and you will definitely suppress the cavalry on the opposite side! ”

But now that all the heavy machine guns and heavy artillery are stepping up their attacks on the high ground occupied by the guard battalion in the forward position, how can they turn around and deal with Zhang Yi's cavalry. Oshima Yoshimasa had no choice but to send a squad to try to block Zhang Yi's cavalry, but the cavalry was already close at hand.

Before the Japanese army had time to organize the defensive formation, they only fired a few shots indiscriminately, and even the horses did not hit, Zhang Yi and others rushed into the ranks of the Japanese army.

A cavalry contingent of nearly 100 men inserted into the Japanese artillery positions and machine gun positions, and the two most powerful firepower points were thrown into chaos, and the Japanese troops were unguarded and had no resistance to resist, and were hacked to death and wounded, and the artillery and heavy machine guns were also blown up a lot by the grenades of the Blue Wolf Brigade.

Oshima Yoshimasa was dumbfounded, and roared angrily: "Stop them, stop ......"

It's just that dozens of men and horses rushed into the camp and went on a rampage, where could the Japanese army stop it? Zhang Yi rushed directly to the Japanese artillery position, slashed with a knife, dozens of artillerymen, not even guns, was attacked by the Japanese army, only cut down, in an instant, most of the dead and wounded, the machine gunner was also seen by everyone, everyone did not stop, and rushed out of the Japanese position.

When Li Gang saw the reinforcements arriving, his spirits were greatly lifted, and he shouted: "Brothers, work hard, our reinforcements are coming, and the blue wolf brigade is coming!" The brothers of the deputy middle battalion came up with strength, rushed and killed, reluctantly killed the charging Japanese army, and joined the brothers of the blue wolf brigade who came up.

Oshima Yoshimasa below was angry, and shouted: "Yaga, a group of waste, so many people easily let them jump the artillery position and machine gun position, a group of waste!" Rush me, rush me, be sure to take the high ground on the other side! ”

Wing Commander Seto Yoshiyoshi persuaded bitterly: "Your Excellency General, now that we are demoralized, the artillery and machine gunners have suffered serious losses, and the other side has come to reinforce again, I think we should retreat first and then make plans." ”

"Smack!" Before the co-captain Seto Yoshishi could speak, he had already received a loud slap on the face from Yoshimasa Oshima, and Yoshimasa Oshima shouted: "Yaga! How could the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire have such a cowardly waste as you! Rush me, rush! You personally lead the team and rush me! ”

"Hay!" Wing Commander Seto Motoyoshi was helpless, and personally led the team to rush towards the high ground, Zhang Yi looked at the Japanese troops who were surging again, sneered, raised the Mauser Type 88 rifle, and looked at the Wing Captain Seto Motoyoshi who led the way in front of him is shot.

Wing Commander Seto Motoyoshi was directing everyone to charge, at dusk, a bullet flew in, poof, hit the chest, Seto Motoyoshi looked at his chest in disbelief, he was at least more than 200 meters away from the opponent's position, he was in the Japanese army, although there were still people who could hit him with a shot, Seto Moto's body slowly fell to the ground, the surrounding Japanese army was in chaos, several Japanese soldiers hurriedly lifted Seto Motoyoshi's body, and hurriedly withdrew below.

Seto Motoyoshi was carried by the Japanese army and pushed to Oshima Yoshimasa, but fortunately, because the bullet flew more than 200 meters, the force had weakened a lot, although the shot hit the vital point, but it was not fatal. Seto Motoyoshi grabbed Oshima Yoshimasa's hand and persuaded bitterly: "Your Excellency General, now that the situation is reversed, it is not in my favor, in order to retain a force for the empire, I will order the withdrawal of the army, quickly retreat, go and go to the round with His Excellency Yamaichi, pack up the team, and then fight them to the death!" ”
