All the generals were shocked, it seems that the Ninth Brigade has really come to snatch the Sheren Pass!
He Changying ordered loudly: "All change horses, Liu Guangyan, Zhang Jingjing, all the cavalry along the way will follow me to the house!" ”
Since there is a war, then there will be casualties, and without horses, it is difficult to transport the bodies of the wounded and dead soldiers quickly on such a long ridge.
After hurriedly changing the war horse, He Changying's legs clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse 'Yu' let out a long roar, and continued to drive the horse towards the south entrance line.
After the 'Nine Mile Valley', a line of sky, and led the horse to the sheep intestine post road on the ridge, all the way the soldiers were dusty.
After a difficult two-and-a-half-hour trek, at 11:10 p.m., everyone finally reached the top of the Sheren Pass.
And in this long two and a half hours, the gunfire at the peak of Sherenguan has not stopped.
Although the people had not yet reached the top of the mountain, they could already imagine the intensity of the battle.
Lin Yunyu's reinforced company was the company with the largest number of troops, the best military discipline, and the strongest combat effectiveness.
In order to maintain the combat strength of the first company, He Changying had 263 people in the company, and 70 percent of them were cadets of the original Martial Arts Academy.
But there was still a constant sound of gunfire, which showed the madness of the Japanese attack!
Arriving at the top of the hill, the tragic scene on the position immediately stunned all the officers and soldiers.
There were corpses of soldiers everywhere who had been reinforcing the DPRK, and the seriously wounded were lying on the ground and wailing.
The battlefield at the top of the hill was full of blood-stained stones and fragments of Japanese artillery shells.
Zhou Zhongsheng, Ma Decao, Liu Guangyan, and Zhang Jingjing were even more shocked, they glanced at each other, and they all understood each other's thoughts.
With such a large casualty, the reinforcement army was able to stand still without retreating, and if it was its own sentinel, it is estimated that it would have bombed the camp and fled.
Sure enough, it is worthy of being from Beiyang Academy, Li Zhongtang's favorite meat baby soldier!
"Report to the battalion commander, I have suffered heavy losses in a company, and the ammunition has almost run out;"
Lin Yunyu saw He Changying and them coming, and strode over to report the battle situation: "However, we resolutely guarantee that we will not lose an inch of position before twelve o'clock!" ”
At this time, there was a sudden shouting of the Japanese army on the southern slope of Sheren Pass, and then retreated like a tide.
"They're shouting for retreat and trimming."
Shen Zhaoao, who understands Japanese, is also translating with twitching cheeks.
The battle on the top of the hill was so fierce that it was only less than a morning.
If the battalion commander really brought the whole army to the reinforcement army, there would be no heavy firepower such as artillery and green artillery, and the soldiers would be very short of bullets, and there would be no perfect logistical supply of water and food.
Then this battle will soon be a devastating disaster for the Korean reinforcement army!
The platoon commanders of several reinforcement companies looked at each other and shivered involuntarily.
The gunfire on the positions gradually subsided, except for the wails of the seriously wounded soldiers of both countries on the summit and the southern slope.
"As a soldier, the decision-maker of an army, you don't need to be as clever as Zhuge Liang, and you don't need to be so peerless and brave as your commander;"
He Changying looked around at the officers around him, and said in a deep voice: "But you must always keep a clear mind calmly, have a clear understanding of your own strength, and before making any decisions, you still have the same sentence 'Do unto others as you would not have them do unto you', remember, your opponent is not more stupid than you!" ”
"Yes!"
All the officers of the Korean reinforcement army shouted with shame on their faces.
"Yes!"
seemed to be affected, Zhou Zhongsheng, Ma Decao, Liu Guangyan, and Zhang Jingjing unconsciously raised their heads and answered loudly.
He Changying slowly squatted beside a corpse that was already cold.
This young man with a childish face, he still has some impressions, on the way to Pyongyang, like many cadet soldiers, when he has nothing to do, he likes to take out the book "The Scream" and read it carefully over and over again.
He Changying noticed that the blood-stained cloth pocket around his waist was full of the shape of a book, he carefully took it out, and the hand holding the bloody "Scream" began to tremble.
There was silence all around, except for the painful howl.
Almost all the soldiers looked at their battalion commander from afar or near.
"Battalion commander."
Seeing He Changying's body gradually shaking, lowering his head, and a tear suddenly dripped on the face of the fallen soldier, Shen Zhaoao's heart was mixed.
However, as a staff officer, Shen Zhaoao knew that now was not the time to be sad.
Because the Japanese army will soon organize an offensive again.
"Comrades-in-arms, you have done a very good job!"
He Changying slowly stood up, holding the bloody "Scream" with his right hand, looking at the soldiers of the Korean reinforcement army who were almost all injured on the battlefield, and shouted:
"Under such heavy casualties, you still hit the Japanese army without flinching, you are the pride and model of the Korean army, I am proud of you!"
"Because of your bravery, the remnants of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army have been completely annihilated in Laoxiaogou; Now that you have completed the blocking task brilliantly, this Sheren Pass blocking battle will be written into the annals of history, forever recording your blood and sacrifice for the rise of the Chinese nation, and will always remember each of your heroic supreme feats! ”
"Battalion commander, battalion commander."
"Kill these Japanese soldiers in dog troughs!"
On the top of the mountain, in addition to the cold corpses, even the seriously wounded soldiers roared.
Then, He Changying ordered Lin Yunyu: "Clean up the battlefield immediately, and all the sacrificed and seriously wounded soldiers will be taken away with war horses; Move quickly, and it is estimated that the next wave of Japanese troops will launch a full-scale attack! ”
"Hao Tiansheng, you stop for me!"
Hao Tiansheng rushed to the southern slope of the position with an angry face, picked up a rifle and prepared to shoot the wailing Japanese soldiers below, but was stopped by He Changying.
"Fighting a war is not a hero, shooting these seriously wounded soldiers who no longer have any combat power; It's not just a smooth raid either! Looking at this comrades-in-arms who have died and been seriously injured, I hope you can all clear your minds, and the future battles will only be more tragic and arduous than this. ”
Sheren Pass Nanpo, the temporary headquarters of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army.
"Okagashi, do you still think that the Qing army's combat power is vulnerable?"
Yoshimasa Oshima retracted his binoculars, looked at Nishijima Sukeyoshinasa, who looked ashamed, and asked in a cold voice, "How many casualties?" ”
"Report to the commander, the minor injuries have not been counted, there are five seriously wounded soldiers who have been withdrawn, fifty-six imperial soldiers have been left behind on the southern slope of Sheren Guan, and Captain Saburo Ono, the deputy squadron leader of the second squadron, has been killed in battle; I asked for artillery support. ”
Yoshimasa Oshima's face turned pale.
For this retreat, the Qing army position, the artillery alone fired nearly a quarter of the shells.
And the two squadrons that went up have already lost one-seventh of their strength!
Suddenly, there was an impassioned shout from the Sherenguan position, and everyone in the Japanese soldiers of the 9th Brigade changed color.
How can this Qing army be so tenacious, the war is so tragic, and it can still be so exciting!
