Chapter 714: The Battle of the Tang River Estuary II

"Zhou Qingjiang, you go and inform the 3rd Battalion, Liu Zhiyong, you go and inform the 1st Battalion, let them be careful of the Japanese cavalry raid; Groove, these grandsons are really not stupid! ”

Cao Yitao, commander of the 3rd Regiment of the Jinmen Brigade, led the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the Jinmen Brigade and was responsible for the attack in the middle.

The two Green cannons, Cao Yitao deliberately left two hundred meters behind, were covered with straw camouflage, and the two rows of soldiers were prostrate on the ground and waiting.

In Cao Yitao's design, at a distance of 350 meters, the Japanese cavalry would not have found these two small straw piles one meter high.

However, when their cavalry drove their horses to the vicinity of the infantry of the Jinmen Brigade, the chain of bullets that were suddenly ploughed and cut would definitely give the Japanese cavalry a huge surprise.

But when Cao Yitao led his troops to rush over, he saw a large group of Japanese cavalry retreating south into the mist of the ice belt on the sea, and his heart couldn't help jumping heavily, thinking bitterly that the brigade commander was still boasting about his clever calculations, and this first wave was miscalculated!

"Brothers, call me;"

Cao Yitao shouted: "700 people can't kill these two hundred people, everyone can find a rope and hang them!" ”

"Commander, there is a kind of impact on your speech; Guaranteed to peck through their positions immediately, a meal of effort, finish them! ”

Qi San, the commander of the guard company, shouted: "This group of stupid sons, Lao Tzu - phew, bah, paralyzing the head is so bad? Splashed a mouthful of sand! ”

"Haha-"

There was a big laugh on the firing line, but the rifle in his hand was non-stop, aiming at the Japanese soldiers on the beach in front of him and shooting.

"Don't be in a hurry, slowly consume them; Isn't the brigade commander going fishing? ”

Cao Yitao shouted, then looked at the white mist in the direction of the sea in front of him, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn, this damn foggy weather!" - Like last year's Tiger Mountain, I don't know if the fish on the sea have been hooked? ”

"Warriors of the Empire, bravely raise your head and shoot! Don't look at the number of soldiers, reinforcements from the brigade at sea will soon arrive! ”

The leader of the 4th Infantry Squadron, Captain Shigejiro Yoshimatsu, who was responsible for guarding the position on the central tidal flats, saw these Qing troops wearing Western-style military uniforms in front of him, and his heart beat violently to know that he had encountered the legendary Qing army.

Shigejiro Yoshimatsu held back the panic in his heart and yelled loudly to cheer up.

"Bang, bang, bangβ€”"

The battle was at a stalemate.

"Bang, bang, bangβ€”"

At the same time, the 900 Qing allied forces at the mouth of the Tang River besieged and attacked the Japanese army on three sides: east, west, and north.

But it alone let go of the south side of the sea.

The 600 Japanese troops did not retreat at all, and they raised their guns and fired at the Qing allied forces.

"Bang, bang, bangβ€”"

From a distance of about 160 or 70 meters, the Qing and Japanese sides opened heavy fire, with the explosion of 1,500 rifles, the screaming of bullets grazing across the beach, and the screams of soldiers being shot from time to time.

It fiercely pressed the nerves of every soldier in the Qing and Japanese armies.

"Shoot, Yaga! Don't bury your head in the sand, bastard, shoot, shoot! ”

This extremely resilient attack of the Qing army was completely different from the Qing army encountered by the Japanese 11th Brigade in Weihaiwei.

The speed of the gun in his hand became slower and slower, and the accuracy of the head became lower and lower, and some Japanese soldiers even buried their heads in the sand nest, and only half a day did they hurriedly raise their heads and shoot indiscriminately, and then hurriedly buried their heads in the sand nest again.

Seeing this embarrassing scene, the Japanese captains were so angry that they yelled and cursed again and again: "When the reinforcements from the sea come and defeat the Qing army, you cowards will all be shot!" ”

"Long live the Emperor!"

At this time, a psychologically fragile Japanese soldier jumped up in despair and yelled nervously when he saw that a comrade-in-arms next to him had his head blown out and turned into a red, white and white terrible corpse.

Immediately he was pointed at seven or eight rifles and smashed into a dead corpse.

"Baga, lie down, lie down; Unless you want to die! ”

Seeing this scene, Watanabe was so angry that he cursed.

After seeing the Western-style military uniforms that attacked the Qing army, Watanabe knew which Qing army he was attacking.

And the series of proud achievements of the anti-Japanese army also made the frightened Watanabe immediately choose to defend his position.

Instead of before, when the guns first rang out, he naively thought that through a brave counterattack, he would defeat the Qing army that dared to attack him in one fell swoop.

"Why hasn't the 2nd Battalion's Green Cannon gone off yet?"

Nie Pengcheng, deputy brigade commander of the Jinmen Brigade, who was in charge of the attack at the mouth of the Tang River, was lying on the edge of a cluster of low bushes on the beach, looking at the white mist to the east, with a puzzled expression.

"It can't be that the cavalry of the Japanese see that we have a lot of soldiers, so they don't have the courage to assault and hide in the position to shoot, right?"

Bian Changsheng looked angrily at the soldiers in charge of the attack in front of the Japanese army in front of the western position, and did not listen to Nie Pengcheng's words.

The 1st Battalion of the Jinmen Brigade has nearly 500 people, responsible for attacking the north and east of the Japanese army, and the head of its own battalion is more than 400 people, only responsible for the west where the Japanese army will never choose to break through.

As a result, the Jinmen Brigade and the Japanese fought fiercely, and the gunfire was intensive.

On the other hand, at the head of his battalion, the intensity of gunfire is not even half of that of the Jinmen Brigade, and it is estimated that it is close to one-third.

"Paralyzed, go!"

Bian Changsheng was so angry that his old face was red, and he yelled and led his twelve-man guard to rush towards the beach on the western front: "Brothers, you are still not a gentleman, you have lost Lao Tzu's face, give me a beating!" ”

"Masters, β€”β€”, kill these dogs, and it's a big deal that Lao Tzu will come back eighteen years later and marry the beautiful daughters of his brothers!"

Wei Caiyi, the outpost commander who was born as an artillery soldier in Dagu, shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, don't ask for too much bride price money at that time. ”

"Lao Wei, you think beautifully, I like your little girl, Lao Tzu will say this to you today, and I will go to your door to propose marriage in eighteen years!"

Wang Zhixiong, the commander of the left sentry, laughed and teased.

"Haha-"

The Qing soldiers on the Western Front all laughed loudly, especially when they saw General Bian rushing over in person, everyone was bold, and they all laughed and raised their heads and shot fiercely.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a famous first-class military general in our Beiyang."

Nie Pengcheng saw the half-dead Western Front, because of Bian Changsheng's joining, he suddenly became angry, and couldn't help but nod in admiration.

"Therefore, Beiyang, including the former Hunan army, is divided into the Ming Army, the Qing Army, the Sheng Army, and the Yi Army, which are semi-private armies with military generals, with a team of tens of thousands at most, and no matter how many generals below, they will be divided into smaller factions; Without these generals, the army was immediately reduced to a mass of loose sand. ”

Li Yuanyang, the brigade law chief lying beside Nie Pengcheng, said with a righteous face.

"Yes, I was also born in the Martial Arts Academy, and I am 10,000 convinced of the commander-in-chief, and I have also read the book "The Scream" over and over again, and I am deeply inspired; Let's talk about this slowly after the battle. ”

Nie Pengcheng was angry and funny when he heard it, since Li Yuanyang, this kid became the brigade commander, and every day he gave them these brigade-level officers 'lessons', and they had to listen patiently.

It's the Green cannon over there now, why hasn't it sounded yet?

"Suffered!"

At this moment, Nie Pengcheng suddenly changed color and said: "The cavalry of the Japanese army will not come to attack the Tang River Estuary, or to attack the 3rd Battalion at the Shahe Estuary, right?" ”
