Ten minutes later, suddenly there was a loud explosion on the Japanese artillery position. The entire artillery position was caught in flames, and the artillery wing of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army never dreamed that a Qing army would be able to touch its position without knowing it, how did they find it? How they managed to sneak into their positions by avoiding the patrolling Japanese troops, these people were ignorant until they died, and they didn't know what was going on at all.

A preoccupied Nozu Michikan had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by the sound of an explosion on the battlefield. Nozu Michikani jumped up and shouted, "Guard, what's the matter?" The Qing army went on the offensive? Where did the explosion come from? ”

A Japanese guard ran in in with a panicked look on his face and reported: "Your Excellency, it is, it is the sound of an explosion coming from the direction of the artillery position, the situation is not clear, someone has already gone to investigate, the Qing army did not attack, it was not from the mountain just now, it seems that it was blown up in the artillery position." ”

Nozu Michikan was shocked, at this critical moment, there must be no problems with the artillery, otherwise, his nearly 10,000 people would really be completely explained here.

Nozu Michikan roared angrily: "Yaga, Ono Kurao, this waste! Why don't you send someone again to see what's going on! ”

"Hay!" The guards stood up and hurriedly ran out.

Nozu Michikani also followed out of the command post, and the staff officers and senior generals of the Fifth Division also ran out to check what was going on.

I saw that at this time, the artillery position in the distance had already been in flames, and Nozu Michikan saw this situation like cold water pouring his head, such a big movement, I was afraid that the artillery position would not be able to be saved. Nozu shouted: "Guards, immediately rush to the artillery position, if there is a Qing army attacking, immediately enter the battle and annihilate it all!" ”

When the guards arrived at the artillery position, they only saw the Japanese artillery scurrying around the position, like headless flies, and the commander of the artillery wing in the center of the position, Ono Kurao, stood there with a dull gaze, at a loss. These are dozens of heavy artillery, and there are still a few days of reserve shells, which were easily wiped out by several unidentified enemy troops, and the losses are exhausted, without heavy artillery and shells, what does the Fifth Division rely on to hold Songyue Mountain??

Onokura's face was like ashes, and he knew that he must be in danger. The captain of the guards, Kookasan, came to Ono Kurao and roared, "Your Excellency Osa, where is the enemy attack? ”

Ono Kurao said in a low voice: "I didn't see any enemy troops at all, I didn't rest in the command post, I only heard a series of explosions, and when I rushed out of the command post, the position became like this, I don't know where the enemy came from." The artillerymen had just organized a battle, and the Qing army fired indiscriminately, killing and wounding nearly 100 imperial soldiers, and they disappeared quickly, and they could no longer be found......"

Xiao Gangsan's shocked words were a little unreasonable, "You, you, you didn't even see the appearance of the enemy army clearly, and you caused such a big loss to the division and the empire, you just wait for the anger of the division commander!" How many mountain and field artillery can still be put into battle? ”

Ono Kurao replied: "There are only four mountain cannons left, eight field cannons, and there are less than three hundred shells, and the imperial artillery jade has broken eighty-seven people, and more than a hundred people have been injured......"

Xiaogang San was speechless for a while, and the entire reorganized artillery wing was destroyed by the Qing army in this way, and I don't know what kind of mood His Excellency the division commander will be......

Of course, Nozu Michikan was in a bad mood, and when Kogangsan reported the information to Nozu Michikani in detail, Nozu Michikan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body shook and fell to the ground.

The staff officer beside him hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug Nozu Michikan, only to see Nozu Michikan's face like ashes, and muttered: "It's over, it's over, the Fifth Division is over...... "The Fifth Division, which he has gathered all his life's work, has been buried in Songyue Mountain, how can he be worthy of His Majesty the Emperor, who has high expectations for himself!

Suddenly, Nozu Michikan roared angrily: "Immediately, shoot Ono Kurao on the spot, this beast ruined my hard work!" ”

Xiao Gangsan looked at the angry Nozu Daoguan, and his heart was also sad, under the nest, there were eggs, if the Fifth Division was all lost on Songyue Mountain, which of his people could return to Japan alive, even if he went back, what face would he have to see his hometown again.

Xiao Gang San said sadly: "Your Excellency General, Ono-kun has already disemboweled my abdomen before I come back......

"Plop!" Nozu sat down on the seat lonely, and said disheartenedly: "Pass the order, from now on, everyone will enter a state of combat readiness to prepare for the fierce attack of the Qing army in the future, now, we can only do our best to obey the fate of heaven, I hope that His Excellency the Commander of the Shan County can come in time, as long as the Fifth Division can be successfully brought out of the encirclement, I will immediately resign and retire, even if I wait for the military court, there will be no complaints." ”

Nozu Michikan no longer had the rampant and high-spirited spirit when he sent out troops, and his body collapsed all of a sudden.

At the foot of Songyue Mountain, Zhang Yi listened to Tan Feng's report, and his heart was silent, the Japanese artillery position was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the combat power was almost wiped out, and the sharpest weapon of the Fifth Division had been broken by the blue wolf.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, it's time for us to attack." Tan Feng, immediately returned to the artillery position, immediately launched a saturated artillery bombardment, and an hour later, the whole army of the inscription battalion attacked Songyue Mountain! ”

"Yes!" Tan Feng straightened up, turned around and walked out of the command post, and rushed to the artillery battalion.

On Mt. Matsutake, a tired Nozu Michikani tried his best to keep his speech steady, and arranged positions to defend his positions, and the artillery positions were destroyed, so that the morale of the Japanese army was extremely low.

As soon as the military deployment was completed, the artillery of the Qing army on the north side of Songyue Mountain had already sounded, and with the beginning of the artillery bombardment of the Qing army on the north side, the Qing troops around Songyue Mountain launched the most fierce artillery bombardment since yesterday, and the entire Songyue Mountain was shrouded in artillery fire, smoke and dust rose everywhere, covering the dawn sky in black and thick smoke billowing everywhere.

Nozu Dokan endured the pain in his heart and mouth, and shouted: "Quickly return to the various departments, organize troops, and meet the attack of the Qing army!" ”

"Hay!"

The generals of the various divisions of the Fifth Division left their seats one after another and returned to their divisions to direct the battle.

It's just that the Qing army's attack, followed by the cover of artillery fire, forced the attack with superior forces, came prepared, and it can be called a rainbow of momentum. On the other hand, the Japanese army was already demoralized, and without the support of heavy artillery firepower, it was defeated and retreated, and in just two hours, the Japanese army had lost three lines of defense one after another.

Mt. Songyue, the 5th Division, is in danger!
