Chapter 356: Fierce Battle by the River II

"Well, I didn't say it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

When Hua Zhengyin heard Li Bohu say this, he hurriedly ordered loudly: "Leave them alone and keep moving forward." ā€

"Deputy battalion commander, what should I do with these people?"

Zhu Shunping, the commander of the first company of the third battalion, hurried over.

"The regiment commander wants to take prisoners and send them to Jinmen to support his face; Gotta count them lucky! ā€

Li Bohu put away the blood-devouring fierceness in his eyes, with a look of regret.

"Raise the fire!"

When Mizuno Shin, who was in charge of the north gate, hurriedly ran to the north gate and was about to close the city gate, Hao Tiansheng, who had been waiting outside the north gate for a long time, shouted and ordered.

Immediately outside the city, hundreds of 'whirring' burning pine resin torches were lit, and inside the firelight were all loaded with guns and ammunition to aid the Korean army.

"Reinforcement army, close the city gate quickly!"

Mizuno Shin was suddenly frightened, and before he could shout, he was shot and killed indiscriminately.

"Into town!"

With Hao Tiansheng's order, the soldiers of the reinforcement army rushed into Andong City.

"Why are you fighting again? Yo Xi, Matsui They are so tenacious, they are really a model of the empire! ā€

After the gunfire in Andong City gradually subsided, Okuyama Yoshiaki's face was sad, but before he could wait, after the idiot on the other side of Takahashi had just stopped shelling, there were gunfire in the city again.

Okuyama couldn't help but shout with joy.

"Whew!"

At this time, a firework shot from the south gate, diagonally to the east, and exploded a brilliant colorful flower in the sky.

"What is this?"

The Japanese soldiers on the riverside looked at the beautiful fireworks one by one, although they felt that it was not good, but they couldn't say what was wrong.

"Didi, Didi, Didi-"

At this time, a loud military horn suddenly sounded in the east, and then in the darkness about six or seven hundred meters away, there was a sudden burst of gunfire, sparks flew in all directions, and a roar of Gatling machine guns was heard.

"Lying down, enemy attack, it's a Green cannon!"

In the frightened roar of the Japanese army, seven or eight soldiers who did not have time to lie down were suddenly splashed with flesh and blood by the bullets of the Green Cannon.

"Forward Attack!"

Yuan Sikai, the commander of the first infantry battalion and one company, gave the order loudly.

"Bang bang bang-"

In the midst of the sound of gunfire, the infantry company responsible for the eastern attack bent forward while firing at the Japanese troops.

In the darkness, bullets screamed and scratched orange-red traces of death, crashing between heaven and earth.

"Crawl forward, shoot lying down, throw the torch forward; Grimm artillery fire suppression! ā€

After the troops advanced a distance of about 300 meters, and were already less than 200 meters away from the Japanese army's outer defensive positions, Yuan Sikai loudly re-issued the order.

"Puff-"

Torches were lit one by one, and then thrown far away at the Japanese positions, freezing in the cold and withering, these torches immediately burned between the two positions, providing a clear field of vision for the reinforcements and the Japanese troops.

The Green cannon of the first battalion of artillery only advanced two hundred meters forward before it stopped advancing, and when it saw that the reinforcements in front of it were crawling forward, the muzzle of the cannon immediately roared again, spraying a dense stream of metal bullets.

"Attack!"

At this time, Li Bohu of the southern city wall also shouted and issued an order, and the soldiers of the third infantry battalion immediately accelerated and rushed south.

"There are also Qing troops in the north, resist shooting!"

Seeing the fireworks at the South Gate before, Okuyama Yoshiaki kept an eye on it, and put four parts of the troops in the east to block the attack, four points in the north to stand by, and two points in the west to guard.

Sure enough, the battle had only been fought for a few minutes, and the war broke out in the north.

"Dada-"

"Green Cannon, lie down, lie down!"

Captain Kazuaki Ohara, the squadron leader of the 14th Squadron in charge of the northern defense line, shouted and ordered the soldiers who were crouching with their guns to lie down and hide immediately.

"Light the fire and throw it over!"

After shooting indiscriminately in the darkness for a while, Li Bohu's troops crawled forward to a distance of more than 150 meters from the forward position of the Japanese army, shouting and ordering the troops to light the fire.

"Shoot, shoot!"

Because the Japanese army had been on guard for a long time, they had made a large number of improvised mound bunkers on the defensive line, and for a time the two sides exchanged guns and stalemate.

"The captain is the costume of the Korean reinforcement army; Their firepower is too fierce, and there are 6,000 enemy troops in the city, should they retreat to the west first? ā€

Captain Koji Tsuneoka, the leader of the 15th Squadron in charge of blocking the Eastern Front, ran to Okuyama Yoshiaki and said anxiously: "The soldiers on the other side can't come to reinforce at all, we only have three squadrons, and if we don't break through, we will be surrounded and annihilated at any time." ā€

Okuyama Yoshisho looked at the swarthy west, and said with a distorted face: "Don't you know the treachery of the reinforcement army, how could they make such a low-level mistake?" I dare say that when the troops are ordered to break through to the west, it will be when the whole army will be annihilated! ā€

"Ordered the Western Front to attack, these Japanese troops are not pigs, can you guess that there is an ambush in the west? Give me an immediate attack on all fronts, and completely crush them with absolute superiority! ā€

After fighting for a long time, seeing that the battle lines were stalemate, Li Bohu became impatient, regretting listening to the fool of Yu Zeqing, the small staff officer of the regiment headquarters, who 'surrounded two and left one', and directly ordered the two companies of the second battalion in the west to immediately enter the battle.

"Whew!"

Seeing another of the same fireworks rushing into the sky, and it was due west, Okuyama Yoshisho suddenly changed color, and shouted and ordered: "The 16th Squadron on the northern front, the eastern front is blocking the soldiers, immediately return to the western front, immediately return to the western front for fortification!" ā€

"Attack!"

Ma Decao, the deputy battalion commander in charge of the Western Front, had been slandering Yu Zeqing, Shen Zhaoao's 'love general', for being half a scoop of water.

Looking at this battle situation now, the Japanese army can't take the bait, and the nearly 400 troops on his side can't be put into battle.

Now, as soon as he saw the offensive fireworks from Li Bohu's side, Ma Decao immediately shouted and ordered the troops to immediately enter the battle.

"Yaga, bitter!"

When Okuyama Yoshijo saw that there were not only ambushes in the west, but also that the number was not ordinary, he immediately cried out in distress.

Then, Okuyama Yoshisho turned his head and silently glanced at the eight small boats quietly moored by the river, and all kinds of distorted expressions on his face were changing rapidly.

"Brothers, brother is here to help you!"

Suddenly, there was a roar and laughter on the southern wall of Andong City, where torches were lit up.

Then the two imitation Green cannons of the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau on the city gate opened fire condescendingly, and the bullets were fired towards the river bank like splashing water.

This kind of accurate and oblique shooting at a large angle immediately caused the Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground to attack crying wolf, and the machine gun bullets left behind pieces of dead corpses where they ploughed.

"Don't panic, shoot, shoot, long live the Emperor!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

With Okuyama Yoshiaki's shouting, the Japanese troops on the blocking line shouted and desperately blocked the attack.

At this time, Okuyama had already begun to transfer the squadron leaders of the 14th, 15th, and 16th squadrons back to the riverbank, and withdraw all the soldiers responsible for the defense of the inner enclosure to the fishing boats.

Then he quickly untied the rope of the boat that was tied to the river bank, and eight fishing boats were crowded with one hundred and forty or fifty Japanese soldiers, and fled towards the opposite bank in a panic.

Seeing that the captain and squadron leader had fled by boat, the Japanese troops who were in a desperate situation in the periphery were suddenly in turmoil, some Japanese soldiers shouted desperately to the death, some reflexively jumped into the icy river, and more slowed down their shooting and planned to surrender.

The reinforcement army did not mistreat the prisoners, and they had captured Takahashi Shigezo alive in Zaesongin in the past, and released them unconditionally, which is obvious to all.

Who wants to die if they can live and have nothing to do?

Soon, the gunfire gradually stopped, except for those who jumped into the river and were destined to freeze to death, and those who were stubbornly refused to surrender and were beaten to death, the remaining more than 200 Japanese troops surrendered immediately.
