Chapter 189: Battle of Pyongyang VI

North Line, Koto Bridge Heights. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Gangdongqiaodian Heights is actually just a gentle hillside on the east bank of the Gangdong River, and the trees on it have long been cut down by the carpenters of Pyongyang City over the years, and the mountains are just clusters of low shrubs.

The 500 Qing army guards of the Pan Jinshan battalion lay down in the bushes, trembling at the Japanese troops who had begun to climb the mountain at the foot of the mountain.

"So many Japanese troops? Is there any way to fight this battle? ”

The Qing army's guerrilla Pan Jinshan squatted in a cluster of small-leaved boxwood forests, looking at the Japanese troops below who were estimated to be no less than four times the strength of their own battalion, as well as the row of rapid-fire guns, and felt that his scalp was exploding.

"Boom, boom, boomβ€”"

At the foot of the hill, a column of nine 37 mm rapid-fire guns made a heart-pounding loud noise, and then the shells smashed into the bushes on the top of the hill in an arc, and several terrible screams were heard.

The screams of the soldiers who were shot soon stopped, although they didn't look at it, everyone could guess the ending, and they couldn't help but be frightened.

Because no one knows which unlucky ghosts will be smashed into the next round of cannonballs, and whether he will be one of those unlucky ghosts?

"Brothers, call me!"

Seeing that the Japanese infantry began to climb the mountain on a large scale from the west, north, and two directions at the same time, Li Bohu, the former commander of the Dagu Fort, roared and ordered his Qing troops to shoot.

After Li Bohu was driven out of the Renzi Army by He Changying, Jiang Zikang not only asked him to command these 31 people, but also drew more than 70 people from the two battalions and four outposts of the Renzi Army stationed in Pyongyang City to form a sentry and handed them over to him for command.

Then the sentinel was assigned to the Pan Jinshan battalion to defend the Jiangdong Qiaodian Heights.

"Bang bang bang-"

Li Bohu's shout suddenly woke up the Qing army who were suffering from hysteria, and everyone raised their guns one after another and shot at the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain.

"Attack!"

At the same time, the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army on the Northern Front and the 3rd Brigade on the Western Front, under the orders of their respective captains, Monji and Taro and Ushijima Kibo Shosa, bent down and hid their black hats in the low bushes to climb the mountain, while blindly shooting at the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, the mountain was full of rifle explosions, but because the Japanese soldiers did not dare to raise their heads and stand up and shoot, the bullets almost all hit the small branches and trees on the hillside in vain, and the Qing troops on the top of the mountain could not cause any substantial damage at all.

On the contrary, the Qing army's condescending long-range sniper on the grass and forest at the foot of the mountain, although the accuracy was extremely poor, but it could not withstand the density of the Japanese straggler platoon, and from time to time some Japanese soldiers ran and planted themselves in the grass and could not get up again.

At this time, there was a roar on the top of the mountain, and a group of people shouted, 'I hit one,' 'I hit one,' and often the Japanese army fell under the mountain, and there were one or two dozen Qing troops on the mountain fighting for merit.

However, Pan Jinshan's civilian soldiers all wrote it down one by one, and although they only killed seven or eight Japanese soldiers in such a quick descent, in the records of Pan Jinshan's battalion, nearly 100 Japanese soldiers have been eliminated.

"Stop shooting and bend forward!"

Seeing that it had no effect, the Japanese officers ordered their soldiers to stop shooting and save precious ammunition.

And the Qing army on the mountain still shot down the mountain like pouring beans.

"Boom, boom, boomβ€”"

Because the Japanese army had not yet marched to the mountainside, the artillery under the mountain was not afraid of the shells accidentally bombing their own army, and took advantage of the fact that the two armies had not yet handed over in a short time, and desperately bombarded the top of the mountain to respond to the rifles of the Qing army.

After about six or seven minutes of bombardment, all the rapid-fire guns under the mountain stopped attacking, and the line head troops of more than 2,000 people of the two Japanese brigades had already climbed the middle slope of the mountainside.

At this time, the shooting of the Qing army at the top of the hill gradually slowed down, as if it was contagious, and the excitement on the faces of most of the soldiers was gradually replaced by fear.

――There is no danger to defend here, and there are so many Japanese troops?

If these Japanese troops began to divide their troops to surround the southern and eastern slopes, and pointed to the four sentinels and horses in Jiziling to come over for reinforcements, it would be in vain.

And now that the Feng army is in the four fortresses, and the Japanese troops from all walks of life can't take care of themselves, how can they come to the rescue?

Pan Jinshan was also chilled when he thought about it, and he hurriedly ordered his own soldiers loudly: "Order all the outposts, immediately retreat to Jiziling and join forces with Jiang Yichang, and kill these Japanese who don't know the height of the sky!" ”

"My lord, but we haven't started to fight yet, so let's run away?"

Li Bohu, who was not far away, shouted unhappily when he heard it.

"Which one escapes, which one escapes?"

Pan Jinshan jumped up in anger when he heard this, and shouted at Li Bohu with a bloody face on his face: "You don't understand, you can't understand people's words? ”

"That's it, that's it, how ugly it is to run away, we are a joint army."

"Yes, our lordship is a plan to lure the enemy in, of course you can't understand it!"

"Once we join forces with Jiang Yichang, it will be a large number of people and great strength, and they will be in one place, and no matter how many Japanese people go, they will not be able to return."

The soldiers of the Renzi Army who were hiding in the nearby bushes helped one after another, who would have nothing to do with their own lives?

"It's clear whether it's joining forces or running away! My lord, I'm a rough person, I don't understand these doorways, I just know that we haven't started to knock hard with the Japanese army, so we are holding our heads and running away. ”

Li Bohu was born in Dagu Fort, and naturally developed Luo Rongguang's stubborn donkey temper, arguing with Pan Jinshan with his voice.

"Li Bohu, who are you scolding, are you showing your ability? No wonder the reinforcement army doesn't want you thorns, it's really a rat and a good pot of soup! ”

Pan Jinshan was almost angry, and yelled: "Do you want to fight?" Then you kind of stay here, and I will tell Jiang Yichang that our camp is small, and it can't fit you gods; The whole battalion listened to the order and immediately retreated back to the Kezi Mausoleum! ”

"Wow!"

The soldiers of the Renzi Army at the other posts around them shouted one after another, and scattered in a hurry with their guns, fleeing towards the rear of the west base of the Fengjun army at the foot of the mountain and the Jiziling Heights in the southeast.

Hearing Pan Jinshan mocking himself for being driven out of the Korean army, Li Bohu's eyes were cracked with shame and anger, and he shouted: "Stay and stay, Lao Tzu will die here today!" ”

Silly than!

Pan Jinshan secretly rejoiced in his heart, with this idiot on the mountain, then the retreat of his own battalion was really foolproof.

"Whatever you want!"

Pan Jinshan's heart blossomed, but he pretended to be angry, and loudly scolded a few pro-soldiers around him: "What are you still doing standing stupidly, you want to be a hero?" Walk! ”

"Brothers, give me a fierce kill!"

Li Bohu yelled as he fired at the approaching Japanese troops on the mountainside.

However, before the bullet could reach the hillside, it was absorbed by the layers of shrubs and fell to the ground without being able to fall to the ground.

"Officer Li, none of us can leave if we don't leave now; Just 100 of us, when the Japanese army surrounds us, we will all die! ”

Li Bohu's behavior suddenly made some of the soldiers below unhappy, and an old fritter of the Renzi Army who had been beaten by the cadet army stood up and shouted.

"Yes, you want to die, you want to be a hero, don't pull your brothers on your back?"

The remaining three soldiers who had also been beaten by the cadets also stood up to support their 'beating friends'.

Li Bohu was furious when he heard this, and the soldiers around him shouted with tiger eyes: "Anyone else who wants to leave, all stand up with Lao Tzu, otherwise you soft eggs won't be able to leave for a while!" ”
