Chapter 45: The bloody battle opens the city

Bagen was born in Mongolian, he was born extremely strong, and after Zhang Yi's training in the past few months, he has made great progress in both skill and mentality. At this time, the grenade that had already pulled the lead was held in his hand, and he was about to throw it, and the Japanese troops around him were so frightened that the souls of the dead were rising, and if this thing exploded around him, then he would be 100% going to see Amaterasu, so he retreated one after another, not daring to come forward again.

As soon as Bagen raised his left hand, the grenade was thrown out, and the grenade exploded more than ten meters away, and seven or eight Japanese soldiers were blown away by the grenade, and two unlucky eggs were blown to minced meat on the spot. Bagan laughed, stirrups on both feet, and the mount sprang straight out.

If Oshima Yoshimasa had not been injured, with the training quality of the Japanese army and a little restraint, they would have been able to integrate and then encircle and suppress dozens of people in the reconnaissance battalion. But now, Oshima Yoshimasa was cut off his right arm by Bagen with a knife and fell unconscious, and suddenly the Japanese army was leaderless and at a loss.

Zhang Yihu looked at it not far away, his heart was overjoyed, and he shouted: "Brothers, take advantage of the devil's disarray, everyone will kill me ruthlessly!" ”

Dozens of brothers of the reconnaissance battalion, the prancing horse began to rampage in the Japanese barracks, in the dark of the night, everyone went deep into the Japanese crowd, the Japanese army was afraid of hurting their comrades, did not dare to shoot indiscriminately, they could only load bayonets, white-knuckle combat, and a few good brothers, but also set a fire, for a time, the Japanese camp was in chaos.

Halfway up the mountain, Xiao Ben Yimu and Qiannanyuan were organizing two brigades to besiege the front line of Maoershan, when they suddenly felt the artillery fire in the rear mute, and then, there were faint explosions and shouts of killing from behind. The two of them were shocked, and when they looked back, they saw the camp under the mountain, the fire was soaring to the sky, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Xiao Ben Kazuki's heart was shocked, and his heart suddenly reacted, it turned out that the Qing army on the mountain had long expected that they would take advantage of the night to attack, and while preparing for the battle, they actually divided their troops and copied their own back roads, and went straight into the camp guarded by Oshima-kun.

At this time, the Japanese troops of the two brigades also felt a little abnormal, and they looked back to watch the movement under the mountain, and saw that the large camp under the mountain had been disrupted, and they did not know how many Qing troops were attacking the camp at night, and the team panicked when they boarded.

Qiannanyuan said: "Xiao Benjun, now the Qing army on the Maoershan defense line has been prepared for a long time, and it can't be attacked in a hurry; The camp at the foot of the mountain has been attacked again, and I think we should withdraw our troops for the time being, and return to the rescue camp, because once the camp is lost, we will be in danger by the enemy on our backs. ”

Xiao Ben Yimu also thought so in his heart, once he was surrounded halfway up the mountain, then he would really be made dumplings for thousands of people.

Xiao Ben Yimu nodded and said, "What Qiannanjun said is reasonable, let's quickly withdraw our troops and return to the camp!" ”

The order was conveyed, and the Japanese soldiers had already returned to their hearts like arrows, like a tide, and withdrew down the mountain.

Tan Feng, who was at the forefront, saw that the Japanese troops who came to sneak attack suddenly withdrew down the mountain, and knew that Zhang Yihu and other brothers must have succeeded in sneaking up on the Japanese camp, and the Japanese army must be coming back to help.

Tan Feng roared: "Brothers, the Japanese army is defeated, kill me!" ”

With that, the rifle in hand had already rushed out. The soldiers of the Laoshan battalion in the back followed Tan Feng in pursuit.

Zhang Yihu led the brothers of the reconnaissance battalion to rush and kill for a while, knowing in his heart that the dangerous place could not stay for a long time, and he must evacuate as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yihu whistled and beckoned everyone to retreat in the northeast direction.

Zhang Yihu had just led everyone to leave the Japanese camp less than four or five minutes later, and the Japanese army led by Komoto Kazuki and Qiannanyuan withdrew.

Kazuki Komoto asked urgently, "What the hell happened?" How did the attack on the camp happen? ”

A Shao Zuo ran over and said astringently: "Xiao Benjun, Qiannanjun, not long after you started the attack on the mountain, a group of Qing troops attacked the camp. They first destroyed our artillery position with grenades, and then stabbed into our troops, and when they were caught off guard, the barracks were in chaos, and Sato-kun was cut by a Qing soldier, and his right arm was cut off, and he is still unconscious

Xiao Ben Yimu said angrily: "Baga, what about the Qing army, do you hold it?" How many troops did the other side come? ”

Shao Zuo replied: "Your Excellency Zhongzuo, there are only a few dozen people in this Qing army, but they are well-armed and brave......

"Yaga!" On the side, Qiannanyuan was furious, walked up quickly, kicked Shao Zuo to the side, and shouted: "A bunch of waste! Nearly a thousand of you are guarding here, and you can't even withstand the attack of dozens of pigs, waste! ”

Just when Qiannanyuan was furious, a burst of artillery sounded around, and the artillery on Mao'er Mountain locked on the Japanese camp under the mountain and began to shell, and the Japanese army was in chaos, and a lieutenant rushed up and said: "Your Excellency Zhongzuo, the Qing army on Mao'er Mountain has rushed down from behind." ”

Xiao Ben Yimu shouted: "Baga, what is the panic, immediately organize the soldiers to fight back, stabilize the position, the Qing army is insufficient, as long as it withstands the first wave of offensive, there will naturally be no problem." ”

Qiannanyuan said: "Xiao Benjun, now our army's artillery position has been completely destroyed, our army is completely exposed to the artillery fire of the Qing army, and at the same time, the Qing army is attacking from the mountain downward, occupying a favorable position, we have no danger to defend, His Excellency Sato is injured, the army is panicked, and it is difficult for us to block the Qing army's attack." We will withdraw our troops until dawn, and then make plans! ”

Kazuki Komoto's heart is full of helplessness, and now Sato is seriously injured and unconscious. The entire attacking force lost its commander, he was only a captain, he had no power to organize the battle, and the Japanese troops in each division fought on their own, how could they resist the attack of the Qing army?

Komoto Kazuki nodded and said, "Okay, Qiannan-kun, you and I will each restrain our troops to evacuate, and go to see Sato-kun's injuries first." ”

However, as soon as the withdrawal order was issued, the Japanese army retreated, and the pursuit of the Qing army had already arrived, leaving only more than 100 wounded in the entire Laoshan camp, and the rest of the people all took advantage of the victory to pursue. Under the panic of the Japanese army, they could no longer organize a counterattack, and they were pursued by the Qing army for more than ten miles, and gradually stabilized, and the sky was already bright at this time.

Zhang Yi saw that the sky was bright and ordered the Qing army to retreat, this battle was undoubtedly fought exceptionally beautifully, the Japanese army retreated in a hurry, and a large amount of ammunition was left at the foot of Mao'er Mountain, which was brought back to the Mao'er Mountain position by the Qing army.

Zhang Yi looked at the piles of loot and remembered the guerrilla song of his childhood in his previous life: "No guns, no cannons, the enemy made us ......"

The defeated Japanese army took up a position not far from Mao'er Mountain and began to collect the rout. Komoto Kazuki and Qiannanyuan hurriedly called someone to report the battle situation to Oshima Yoshimasa, and at the same time reorganized the troops and counted the casualties.

After some cleanup, the two people's faces turned pale, just one day and one night, not only did they not take Maoershan, but their own side suffered heavy losses, Sato was seriously injured, not to mention, but the Japanese army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, of which the dead and missing were as high as 1,000, and the rest were injured to different degrees, and some of them had lost their combat effectiveness. The most fatal thing is that the two artillery brigades allocated by General Oshima Yoshimasa, more than 20 heavy artillery, were completely lost, and 100 artillery soldiers were also killed and wounded, almost all of them were killed, this is an unbearable loss, if Oshima Yoshimasa blames it, I am afraid that the lives of the two people may not be saved.

At this time, Sato Masato had also come to his senses, with a thick gauze wrapped around his shoulders, and his face was pale, obviously caused by excessive blood loss.

Kazuki Komoto and Qiannanen reported the loss to Sato Masa, Sato Masa's face was dull, he nodded expressionlessly, and said, "I know, you have worked hard, you can step back first, let me be alone for a while." ”

The two of them looked at the pale Sato Masa, and they didn't know what to say, so they bowed deeply and retreated.

The two men had barely walked far when they heard a gunshot behind them. The two of them were shocked and hurriedly turned around to watch.

I saw Sato Masa, holding a gun in his left hand, a hole had appeared in his temple, blood was bubbling up, and his body slowly fell, obviously dead.

The two hurriedly called the military doctor to dispose of Sato's body, and there was chaos in the army.

Kazuki Komoto and Qiannanen were silent, worried in their hearts, and could only hope that Oshima Yoshimasa would send reinforcements to accept the siege of Mao'er Mountain.
