Chapter 140: Dongxian Ridge Blocking Battle IV

"The big deal is death!"

An aggrieved cadet lying behind the stone bunker finally overcame the fear in his heart, his face flushed with blood, he raised his body and shot at the Japanese army on the opposite side with a Mauser gun, and roared angrily in his mouth: "Kill these Oriental devils!" ”

"Kill these Oriental devils!"

The rest of the soldiers were also red-faced, gritting their teeth and raising their heads to shoot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Bang bang bang-"

Mao Chaogang rushed down the big slope with the second platoon, and before he could dodge his body, a group of Japanese cavalry rushed out at the bend at the foot of the opposite mountain.

"Shoot!"

Mao Chao roared, leaned against the slope next to the post road, raised his gun and shot two shots.

For a while, the battle was stalemate in various sections at the same time, and soldiers on both sides continued to be shot and fell, but the reinforcement army and the Feng army, which had various advantages, were always in the upper hand.

A family of guards hid behind large rocks, their hearts full of shame and remorse.

Because of his arrogance, the army fell into an ambush by the Qing army, and now the imperial soldiers have suffered nearly 100 casualties, and the losses even exceed the previous Battle of Asan.

And what made him even more angry was that there were several rifles staring at him in the bushes on the slope, and as soon as he tried to show his head, several bullets immediately 'snapped' at him.

Suddenly, a household guard saw a group of Qing troops rushing down from the slope behind him, and he rushed in the opposite direction in the distance without looking back, and then disappeared at the foot of the mountain, and then there was a violent gunfire from there.

"Yo Xi, Fukuda-kun's cavalry squad is finally here!"

A household guard was in good spirits, he didn't want this group of fifty cavalry to participate in the battle, but the arrival of the imperial cavalry, which meant that there was no ambush on the side of the 'Nine Mile Valley'.

"It seems that the military strength of the Qing army is not very large, otherwise it will definitely be a disaster for the imperial army to deploy some Tibetan troops in the 'Nine Mile Valley'!"

A family guard was a little calmer in his heart.

It really can't be that the army can hold on for another half an hour, and when it gets dark, they can retreat with all their strength to the 'Nine Mile Valley' to form a defense, although the army's losses will be very large, but at least it will avoid the fate of being completely annihilated.

At this time, there was a shout of the Qing army from the jungle on the slope at the mouth of the canyon on the right, and the face of a soldier changed, and he scolded: "Baga, when did these stupid Qing pigs become so smart!" ”

"Report to the captain, the third squadron was blocked by a large force of Qing troops, was pressed on the head, and suffered heavy casualties!"

A soldier from the third squadron hurriedly ran over to report, his eyes full of fear.

"Baga, you coward of the Empire, die, die!"

A soldier raised his saber in his hand angrily, ready to stand up and slash over this timid military Cao, but a bullet fired from the mountain directly hit this military Cao's head, exploding a large area of flesh and brains.

A household guard woke up and quickly squatted down, and sure enough, several bullets immediately hit the big rock, splashing the fluffy stone mist.

A soldier's face turned pale with fright, and the brains of the soldier burst into his face, making him feel for the first time that he was so close to death.

On the right side of the slope, the gunshots and curses of the Qing army and the Japanese army came and went, and for a time became the focus of the fierce contention between the two sides.

At this time, a household guard finally made a difficult decision, since there was also a Qing army blocking at the mouth of the North Gorge, then if he insisted on passing through the first line of sky, he might be blocked by the Qing army at both ends, and he would be consumed alive a little bit!

"Order, the third squadron withdraws to the post road, and the first, second, and third squadrons all block and retreat in the direction of 'Jiuli Valley'; order the fifth squadron to launch a fierce attack on the southern section to block the Qing army and open up the joint passage with the cavalry squad; order the fourth squadron headquarters of the first line of Tianliang Mountain to retreat to the north, and join the cavalry, brigade headquarters, and other units of the fourth squadron at the mouth of the North Gorge, and test the opportunity to break through on their own!"

After saying this, Ichibu couldn't help but close his eyes sadly.

Don't think about it, when he led the remnants of the 1235th Squadron and the cavalry squad to withdraw from the battle of the big slope, and formed a defensive position at the mountain crossing of the big slope of the 'Nine Mile Valley'.

These thousands of Qing troops, who can no longer find a chance to fight, will definitely march north to the first line of the Heavenly Canyon and the cliffs of the two mountains, and together with the Qing army blocking at the mouth of the North Gorge, they will nibble away at the imperial army of more than 200 people!

"Gentlemen, take care!"

A household guard sadly glanced at the first-line Tiannan Gorge that was still in the hands of the imperial army, and shouted: "Shoot, repel these Qing troops, and retreat south!" ”

Large slope ambush position.

"Okay, the second company and the Feng army fought beautifully!"

Lin Yunyu saw that the Japanese troops below finally began to slowly fight and retreat towards the south, and a smile finally appeared on his face that had been cold and depressed: "Summons Hao Tiansheng, you must control the gorge in your hands; Yuan Sikai established a defensive line on the left peak, gradually expelled the Japanese troops on the top of the mountain to the north, and the rest of the soldiers checked their weapons, slowed down their shooting, filled the warehouse with bullets, and waited for the general attack order! ”

"It's done, what a Lin Yunyu!"

Seeing that a large number of Japanese troops retreated from the hillside at the mouth of the South Gorge, and the Japanese army immediately gave up the defense of the South Gorge, and all the troops were slowly retreating towards their side, He Changying's heart that had been raising finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but shout happily.

"Little Liuzi, you go down and order Shen Zhaoao, Mao Chao will all withdraw to the hillside and let the Japanese army converge."

In He Changying's ideal design, it was best for Shen Zhaoao and them to be able to withstand the full force of a guard's attack.

And when Liu Guangyan's troops arrived, together with the second platoon led by Mao Chao, they annihilated the cavalry left and right, and then attacked the headquarters of a household guard with an indomitable momentum, which was the maximization of the battle.

However, in this way, the pressure on Shen Zhaoao will be great, in case Shen Zhaoao is hung below, He Changying will really lose more than he gains, so he immediately ordered the orderly Xiao Liuzi to go down to convey the order.

But when Xiao Liuzi ran down and ran back out of breath, Shen Zhaoao didn't give the order to withdraw to the hillside.

"What's going on?"

He Changying asked angrily.

"Battalion commander, Staff Officer Shen said that he couldn't return to the army, otherwise if he let a household guard attack Liu Guangyan's cavalry with all his might, maybe let them escape!"

"This guy!"

He Changying saw that the Japanese army below seemed to have received the order to attack, and began to stand up fiercely and move towards Shen Zhaoao's side to attack, knowing that at this time, even if he really wanted to withdraw, it was already too late.

"Hit me hard!"

He Changying picked up the pistol and shot at a Japanese soldier Cao Cao at the bottom of the mountain, but unfortunately, he missed the target.

A family of guards kept weaving behind bunkers in the rubble and bushes, and soon came to the southern front blocking position.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers in front of the post road actually wanted to intercept the pace of the imperial army without knowing whether they were alive or dead, a guard showed a trace of fierce cruelty in his eyes, and shouted: "Imperial soldiers, all charge, destroy all these Qing pigs, long live the emperor!" ”

"Long live the Emperor!"

The Japanese soldiers who were encouraged all stood up with a fanatical face, regardless of the soldiers who were constantly being shot and fell around them, and fiercely rushed towards Shen Zhaoao's defensive line.

"Aid the Korean army, give me a fight to the death!"

Shen Zhaoao gritted his teeth and shot past, although he quickly knocked down a lot of Japanese troops, but as more and more Japanese troops charged closer, the casualties on the battlefield of the Korean reinforcements suddenly increased.

"A platoon of all the people rush down and fight!"

He Changying's blood surged, and he shouted and rushed downhill.

"Rush!"

At this time, Liu Guangyan, who had defeated the Japanese cavalry on the side of the mountain, finally came late.

"Yaga, these cunning pigs!"

A soldier's face trembled, and with a 'wow' sound, a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he passed out.

"All attack!"

Lin Yunyu, who had been pressing the Japanese army on the north side, finally decisively gave the order for a general attack.

"Rush!"

The soldiers, who had been waiting impatiently, rushed down the hill with rifles and shouts in their mouths.

All the Japanese soldiers were in a panic and commotion, and when they saw the captain of the brigade and a family of guards actually vomiting blood and fell down, the psychological defense line of the Japanese army suddenly collapsed.

Defeat is like a mountain!
