Pyongyang Seongjiang to the left, Boatbridge Lane Middle Fort Right Fort. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At 9:10 a.m., while the fierce fighting broke out outside the Changqing Gate on the opposite bank, the Japanese attack on the middle fort and the right fort began almost simultaneously.
It was still the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 3rd squadrons of the 11th Wing of the Japanese Army that attacked the middle fort to pinn down, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 9th, 10th, and 6th squadrons of the 21st Wing attacked the right fort to break through.
Under the cover of the Japanese Eighth Squadron, the 12 mountain guns of the 5th, 6th, and 2nd artillery squadrons quietly advanced to the riverside sorghum field 200 meters away from the Qing army's right fort position before stopping.
Immediately, the Japanese artillery began to busily arrange artillery positions.
The Japanese artillery in Shoshoin then began to roar and smashed into the Qing army position at the three forts of Funabashi.
The battle for the bridge between the Qing and Japanese armies immediately began again.
"The Japanese army is setting up artillery positions, and all the posts are coming up for me, keep your head down and don't show the low wall, and listen to my orders."
In the midst of artillery fire and gunfire, Cao Kun, the commander of the Yi Army, who ran to the top of the right fort and wanted to observe the layout of the Japanese troops from a high position, suddenly saw a large group of Japanese soldiers secretly erecting artillery in the sorghum field 200 meters away from the river in front.
Cao Kun was suddenly surprised and delighted.
"TM still wants to bombard our heavy fort at such a close distance, these bastards dare to think? Come on, keep your heads down! ”
Under Cao Kun's low roar, the 100 Qing soldiers on the left post quickly crowded onto the top of the fort, squatting against the battlement wall one by one.
"Okay, shoot them for me!"
Ma Yukun, who heard the news, also ran up, and couldn't help but change color.
If you don't find this group of artillery hiding in the sorghum field, once the artillery is fired in unison, it will definitely be a disaster for the right fort!
"Go, go down and attack them!"
Ma Yukun quickly ran down the heavy fort, ran to the back of the river, and leaned on the chest wall and shouted: "Qu Decheng, go and give me the Japanese artillery position in the sorghum field!" ”
"Wow!"
Qu Decheng, the pro-army sentry officer of the Sheng Army's horse team, roared on his horse, pulled out the big knife behind his back, pointed at the sorghum field in Jiangbei and shouted: "Brothers, kill the Japanese for me!" ”
"Kill the Waiyi!"
The horsemen jumped on their horses, drew their broadswords, waved and shouted, and rode away.
"Hit!"
With Cao Kun's loud roar, the Qing troops on the top of the fort showed their heads one after another, raised their guns and fired at the Japanese artillery positions that were caught off guard.
"Yaga!"
For a time, there was a rain of blood on the Japanese artillery position, and soldiers continued to fall down with bullets, and the Japanese soldiers of the eighth squadron cursed repeatedly, dodging bullets while raising their guns in a panic to return fire.
However, the Qing army occupied the terrain, and there were battlements to cover their bodies, and they stood in the open space condescendingly, and the Japanese soldiers cried wolves without covering.
"Shoot, shoot! Ahh
Senior Captain Tagami Satoru, the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 21st Wing, who was in charge of the artillery position, was shot in the head with one bullet and one shot as soon as he roared twice.
"Tanagami-kun!"
Captain Tadachi Yamamoto, the leader of the fifth artillery squadron, had just screamed in anger, and his eyes were wide open, and his left hand was covering his chest full of blood, and he fell to his death.
"Kill the Waiyi!"
When the Qing army on the top of the heavy fort fired five or six volleys in a row, a group of fierce Qing cavalry suddenly rushed out on the riverside path.
At this time, almost everyone in the Japanese army was empty, and they were hurriedly loading the bullets with trembling hands, and then they were easily cut down one by one from the horses by the Qing troops who pounced.
"Run!"
I don't know which timid Japanese soldier shouted, but the Japanese soldiers who heard the sound all dispersed at once, and fled into the surrounding sorghum forest with a shout.
One by one, like rabbits, they slipped away without a trace.
"Yaga, bastard, come back! ――”
Captain Sakuramoto, the squadron leader of the 6th Artillery Squadron, yelled angrily, and Qu Decheng, who noticed it, cut off his head with a knife.
At this point, the Japanese artillery positions on the sorghum field on the riverbank were completely lost.
Standing in front of the right fort, Oshima Yoshimasa behind the Japanese position, saw the artillery position on the top of the heavy fort on the right flank fired indiscriminately at the artillery position on the river bank, and his whole face suddenly turned blood-red.
"Damn!"
Yoshimasa Oshima strode to the front of the position with his neck thick, facing the bullets fired from the chest wall of the heavy fort, shouting and ordering: "Attack, attack!" ”
"General, it's too dangerous here, please retreat!"
Takeda Shuzo and Okawaishi hurriedly ran over and persuaded hard.
"Bastard, where to retreat?"
Oshima Yoshimasa yelled: "The only way to repay the emperor's favor with death is just now; The whole army is attacking! ”
"Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
Suddenly, the Japanese soldiers who seemed to have been beaten stood up one after another, braved the rain of bullets, and desperately rushed towards the heavy fort.
"Hit!"
Ma Yukun stood behind the breastwork and grabbed the Mauser quickly, 'banging' the gun, and roaring angrily.
In the dense bullets, Japanese soldiers continued to fall along the way, but the Japanese soldiers did not flinch, shouting and continuing to charge.
Soon, the Japanese rushed to the breastwork and fired at the Qing army through the trench.
Some Japanese soldiers even jumped off the trench in excitement and swam towards the breastwork.
"Kill the Waiyi!"
Ma Yukun yelled: "Otherwise, everyone will die today, repay the emperor's kindness, and kill the widows!" ”
"Repay the emperor's kindness and kill the widows!"
At this time, the Qing army was also red-eyed, and the front chest was against the chest wall to shoot the Japanese soldiers in the water, and soon the clear blue water was dyed red.
"Yo Xi, the sons are very good!"
Oshima Yoshimasa, who was standing in the distance, couldn't help but praise happily when he saw the Japanese army rushing to the Qing army's heavy fort trench.
"This right fort is finally considered an attack, an attack - an ambush"
The smile on Okagashi's face froze on his face, and he couldn't help but exclaim in disgrace as he watched a large area of Qing cavalry rush out of the sorghum field.
"Kill the Waiyi!"
At this time, Qu Decheng, who had destroyed the Japanese artillery position, rushed back, shouting and holding a large blade stained with blood, and slashed towards the rows of Japanese troops crowded on the edge of the trench.
"Hit!"
"Bang bang bang-"
On the top of the heavy fort, under the command of Cao Kun, more than 100 rifles were all transferred, and 100 guns were fired in unison, causing the Japanese troops on the side of the trench to fall in pieces.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Takeda Shuzo Nakasa, who knew something bad, shouted orders with blood-red eyes.
"Retreat, retreat!"
The Japanese soldiers shouted and dispersed, and fled backwards without their lives, all complaining that their parents had given birth to two legs.
"Hahahaha-"
Inside and outside the fort on the right wing, the Yi army and the Sheng army were all laughing loudly and full of pride.
"Wow-"
Since the defeat of Dongxian Mountain, Oshima Yoshimasa's body seems to be getting more and more fragile, his angry eyes are about to split, and he spits out a stream of blood with a 'wow'.
"General!"
The generals were shocked.
"It is reported that the attack of the left wing of the Jiangzuo has been blocked, the losses have been heavy, and they have retreated to Giethoorn Island."
"Yaga!"
An eyeless military cao ran over to pray, and was kicked down by the angry half-dead Takeda Shuzo.
"Wow-"
Yoshimasa Oshima took another mouthful of scarlet blood.
"The whole army retreats!"
Before fainting, Yoshimasa Oshima decisively gave the order to retreat.
"The Japanese have retreated, the Japanese have retreated!"
"We won, we won!"
Seeing the Japanese army fleeing in panic, the left, center and right forts in the bridge were all chanting in unison, and everyone was happy.
It turns out that the Japanese army is nothing more than that!
On September 15, 1894 in the Western calendar, the second round of the Qing-Japanese battle of Jiangzuo, this battle was still a great victory for the Qing army!
In the thatched hut of Plantatsu Temple, Yoshimasa Oshima opened his eyes faintly and looked at a group of worried military commanders standing in front of him.
Today's two consecutive attacks, the Ninth Brigade suffered heavy losses, and some familiar lieutenants have been buried here forever, going to see the god of sunshine.
Captain Hayashi Hisashi, Lieutenant Hosoi Yujun, Lieutenant Imai Ken, Captain Takaku Tanagami, Captain Tadachi Yamamoto, Captain Sakuramoto-
