Chapter 341: Battle Tiger Mountain III
Uiju Castle, Unification Pavilion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Youpeng and a group of staff officers in Shanxian County boarded the Tongjun Pavilion at 4 o'clock in the morning, and looked at the Yalu River in darkness, only on the right side of the Sanhe River on the opposite bank in the distance, with a faint red light.
In this way, it was not until 5 o'clock in the morning that a large area of dense fog rose between the sky and the earth, and the 5th Engineer Brigade received the news that the Zhongjiang pontoon bridge had been erected and was being strengthened intensively.
"Commander, what a fog!"
The chief of staff, Xiao Chuan, was a major general, and said happily: "The Qing army on the other side is so paralyzed, and when the imperial army hits them in the face later, they are still confused, what's going on?" ”
"It's been raised as a pig for more than 200 years, it's not surprising!"
Youpeng in Shan County suddenly remembered He Changying, an alternative, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable and very blocked.
So, Shan County Youpeng ordered Xiao Chuan, the chief of staff beside him, again: "Wait for the Great Forced Department to cross the river, let them go over a brigade, and annihilate the supporting Korean army for me." ”
None of the surrounding staff officers raised objections to the order of the commander of Yamasan, and this support for the Korean army was simply a stinger piercing the body of the First Army, just thinking about it, it hurt all over my body.
Speaking of this, Shan Shan couldn't help but think of the message from His Majesty the Emperor before, frowned and added: "For He Changying, try to capture him alive; If you can't be captured alive, you can be killed directly! ”
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army's Zhongjiang pontoon bridge was finally reinforced, and in the vast white fog, a suppressed cheer sounded on both sides of the Zhongjiang River.
Immediately, the 3rd Brigade of the 6th Brigade of the 19th Brigade of the 2nd Division took the lead in quickly crossing the Zhongjiang River.
"Attack!"
Just when the 2nd Brigade of the 19th Wing had just passed through a squadron, it had already taken advantage of the fog to touch the Li Bohu unit of the Korean reinforcement army less than 100 meters away from the Japanese pontoon bridge.
More than 500 Mauser rifles rained bullets on the Japanese soldiers at the bridgehead.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Suddenly, the Japanese soldiers, who were caught off guard, fell in large numbers.
"Shoot now, shoot down!"
The captain of the 2nd Brigade, Yoshijiro Ohara, who had just rushed through Jiangyou, shouted and gave an order: "Establish a ring defense circle and attack!" Attack! ”
"Lie down attack, lie down attack!"
At this time, the sight of both sides was full of thick fog, and they could not see the opposite scene at all, and the bullets were all by chance, and in such a narrow area, standing and shooting obviously had to suffer a lot.
He Changying hurriedly and loudly ordered the troops to stop the charge, and at a distance of about fifty or sixty meters from the soldiers at the Japanese crossing, they prostrate and shoot at each other.
"Bang bang—"
Suddenly, gunfire rang out at the crossing, and fierce blind fire broke out between the reinforcements and the Japanese army.
The Japanese soldiers who crossed the river from the bridge also joined the shooting with rifles.
"Commander, do you want Yun Yu and them to join the battle immediately?"
Listening to the increasingly dense gunshots on the opposite side, and only for a while, twenty or thirty people were shot, Wu Weiyang looked worried.
"Wait; Captain Lu, Adjutant Wang, you immediately go to Hushan and Chestnut Garden, and let Nie Junmen and Ma Fentong lead troops to reinforce! ”
"Boom, boom—"
"Whoa—"
He Changying was issuing an order, when suddenly there was a cannon sound from the direction of Hushan, and then the cannonball screamed and swept over everyone's heads, exploding far away.
"Boom, boom—"
At this time, the artillery positions on the opposite bank of the Japanese army also roared loudly, and nearly 100 cannons of the entire First Army of the Qing Dynasty fired in unison and bombarded Hushan.
"The Qing army has only one battalion of military strength, all in the northeast; Attack, defeat them! ”
At this time, the Japanese army had already crossed the river with more than 2 squadrons of troops, and Yoshijiro Ohara also figured out at this time that the Qing army was only attacking in one direction, and shouted and gave the order: "Creeping to the north, attack, attack!" ”
"Captain!"
Peng Qianyan, who was shooting on his stomach next to him, was also a little anxious.
"Wait!"
He Changying's palms were full of sweat, and he asked Li Bohu loudly: "Can you stand it?" ”
"Commander, no problem!"
Li Bohu stood up directly with a gun, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Is it a gentleman, if he doesn't bring a handle, it's up to now!" Give me a slap in the face of the dog against the dog, who the fuck is a bad seed, take a step back, who Lao Tzu killed first! ”
"Poof—"
Suddenly, a bullet hit Li Bohu's calf, with a slip of flesh and blood through the past, Li Bohu didn't even frown, he still stood strongly, and shot the gun at a small angle towards the vast white mist.
"It's a man, paralyzed! The big deal is a death; Eighteen years later, he is a good man again! ”
In the yelling, Liu Gongzi also stood up strongly.
"Kill the Sun Dog!"
As a result, the soldiers of the two companies of the entire third battalion all stood up with hard faces and fired downward at the thick white fog.
The sudden dense flow of bullets suddenly beat the Japanese troops who were crawling forward less than 30 meters in front of them to scream, and the reinforcements except for those who were shot and fell, including He Changying and Wu Weiyang, all stood up and shot hard.
For a time, the Japanese army could not advance an inch.
And on the right bank of the river, the strength of 4 Japanese brigades has already crossed the river.
"Trumpeter, fire rockets, blow the trumpet!"
He Changying now scolded herself for being a pig in her heart, and she only wanted to pretend to use 'fireworks as a trumpet' in her heart, but in the end, she honestly blew the military trumpet.
In this pouring fog, they can't hear or see the fireworks, I hope Lin Yunyu and they can hear the sound of the military horn.
400 meters southwest of the Japanese bridge, the reinforcements listened to the fierce gunfire in front of them, and they all waited anxiously with bated breath for the attack order.
In the white fog around them, stray bullets screeched over their heads, leaving spiral-shaped trajectory or striking the gravel, splashing large sparks and rubble.
Moreover, the Japanese cordon, which has been extended not far from the hiding place of the reinforcement army, is cautiously approaching this side.
"Tick Tick, Tick Tick—"
At this time, in the dense fog ahead, there was a sudden loud sound of military horns, Lin Yunyu and Hao Tiansheng's hearts tightened, and then they laughed all of a sudden.
The regiment commander wasted so much effort, and in the end he still used this old method.
"The whole army immediately ran and attacked!"
Lin Yunyu stood up and gave the order to attack loudly: "The sappers are responsible for burning the bridge and cutting off the passage of the Japanese troops on the other side; Move quickly and absolutely complete the order! ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Second Lieutenant Li Yuan, the leader of the regiment's engineering squadron, shouted: "Brothers, burn the bridge for me!" ”
"Burn the bridge!"
The forty or so soldiers of the engineering squadron, each holding the kerosene cloth, rushed forward with a shout.
"Qing army, Qing army, there is an ambush, there is an ambush!"
The shouting of the reinforcements immediately alarmed the Japanese troops who were groping from the front.
These Japanese soldiers shouted in fear as they raised their guns and opened fire on the countless faint shadows in the white mist.
At this time, it was already 6:35, and in the field east of the south bank of the Yalu River, a ray of golden sunlight had already broken through.
Although it couldn't dispel the thick fog, the vision was much clearer, and you could vaguely see the figure more than ten meters away.
