At this time, Lin Yunyu, Mao Chao, Duan Xiongbo, Qi Youwei, Fang Dahai, Chen Zhihui and other generals of the Korean reinforcement army all stood on the southern city wall, overlooking the direction of Pyongyang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Actually, Sato is a big fool!"

Mao Chao looked back at Anzhou City, which was a mess by the Qing soldiers, and said: "If he is brave enough, after occupying Shun'anyi, he will immediately send a partial division to attack Anzhou, and he will not need too many troops, one cavalry squadron and two infantry squadrons will pull up a few more artillery." ”

Mao Chao took the cigarette rolled for him by his orderly in his mouth and said: "Pointing to these separate military horses in Anzhou City, two charges, these garbage soldiers will have to abandon the city and flee, then the Pyongyang Qing army will definitely be finished!" ”

"Sato had not fought the Pyongyang defenders before, so he didn't dare; If it were Yoshimasa Oshima or Tsuno, this Anshu Castle might not be what it is now. ”

Lin Yunyu said to Duan Xiongbo beside him: "Send a few cavalry to Boyuan City, and let Liu Xueren of the telegraph team come to Anzhou, which is specially explained by the battalion commander." ”

Duan Xiongbo nodded, sighed and said, "The soldiers of our cavalry company have been complaining, and the infantry brothers have gone to fight the third big victory, but everyone is waiting here stupidly." ”

Lin Yunyu did not answer, in his opinion, if the Qing army in Pyongyang really retreated, then it would be a big test for the Korean reinforcement army in Anzhou and the Korean reinforcement army that went to Datong Jiangzuo to wait ahead.

North of Pyongyang, the position of the Inzi army in the tomb of Jizi, and the position of the Bongjun army in Mudandae.

Since 8:15 p.m., the Japanese artillery bombardment from Jiangdong Qiaodian and the high ground in the middle of Jingyan Mountain has blown up the Jiziling, and the Qing troops on the Mudantai position have been miserable.

For the Jiziling position, which was not protected by a solid bunker, the Japanese army was all replaced with grenade bombardment, and often every time it was fired, several screams of the Qing army could be heard.

As for the narrow Peony Terrace on the top of the mountain, the Japanese army used a mixture of solid ammunition and grenade bombs, and it didn't take long to completely stop the Qing army's artillery.

The Japanese artillery shells poured endlessly on these two positions of the Qing army, especially the violent grenade bombs, which blew up all the Qing troops' souls and lost their fighting spirit, and they all lay on the ground tremblingly, praying that the cannonballs in the sky would not hit them.

At 8:30, the Japanese artillery stopped bombardment, and the wounded soldiers were howling everywhere on the Jiziling and Peony Terrace, and the ground was sprinkled with blood and stumps.

"Attack! Long live the Emperor! ”

With the order of the Japanese Ushijima Mufan, the Japanese soldiers of the 3rd Brigade of the 18th Wing, who were waiting at the foot of the slope of the Jizi Mausoleum, shouted 'Long live the Emperor' and rushed towards the Kezi Mausoleum.

"Call me!"

Looking at the swarming Japanese troops, Jiang Zikang's heart trembled and shouted an order: "Kill these Japanese soldiers!" ”

"Bang bang bang-"

Suddenly, violent gunfire erupted, and the Qing troops lying on the top of the slope and the Japanese soldiers bending up the slope opened fire one after another.

However, the Qing army, which was dizzy and frightened by the Japanese shells, was extremely poor in firing their guns, and often did not even aim at them, and they would shoot indiscriminately when they raised their guns.

The Japanese army was like a rainbow, even if it was at the disadvantage of standing on the hillside downwind, it made the Qing army scream, it was like a gun biting meat.

Soon, those Qing soldiers who were bold and brave and dared to show their heads to aim were shot down by the Japanese army one by one, and the rest of the Qing soldiers were in danger and did not dare to show their heads, and completely released empty guns down the mountain.

"My lord, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!"

Pan Jinshan ran over again to urge.

"Ahh

Jiang Zikang sighed.

sighed in his heart, why is He Changying's kid so smooth to fight the Japanese?

When it was his turn, there were no fewer people than the reinforcements of the Korean army, and the attacking Uyi was still a regular brigade, so why couldn't he hold out for even twenty minutes?

At 8:45 a.m., there was a roar on the Jiziling position, and the Japanese army's plaster flag fluttered in the wind.

From the attack to the complete occupation of the Kezi Tomb, it took only fifteen minutes for the Japanese army!

Immediately, the Japanese army advanced all the way and continued to drive the Renzi army in the direction of Qixingmen.

At 10:10 a.m., all the 800 remnants of the 1st Battalion and 4 Outposts of the Inzi Army retreated to Qixingmun in Pyongyang City in panic, and the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army immediately moved to establish a defensive line between Mudandae and Xuanwu Gate and Qixingmun to prevent the Qing army in Pyongyang from reinforcing Mudandae.

At the same time, Ushijima Mubo Shaozo ordered the second squadron to attack the rear flank position of Peony Platform from the southern back.

At the same time, the three brigades of the Japanese army also attacked the Mudantai Heights from the east, north, and west.

East, west, north and south, four-way general attack.

"It's over!"

On the Xuanwu Gate, Zuo Guigui swayed, almost planting the city wall, attracting Nie Guilin, and Yang Jianchun hurriedly supported him.

"This peony platform has concentrated our men and horses with one battalion and two sentinels, once they are all wiped out; Now the east and south sides are all tight, pointing to our battalion and two posts here, how to defend Xuanwu Gate! ”

Yang Jianchun also jumped in a hurry, knowing that his cousin Yang Jiansheng was on the peony platform at this time.

"Da-da-"

The roar of a green cannon was heard in the distance in the direction of Peony Terrace, and the Qing army on the top of the mountain finally opened fire.

"The Japanese came up, and the sentinels beat me hard;" Xu Yusheng roared loudly from the position, "Kill their dogs!" ”

"Da-da-"

The two Green guns suddenly fired a volley, and the terrifying dense metal jet hit the attacking Japanese soldiers due north and east on their backs, and the Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard were shot by the sharp and roaring bullets, and fell down with a scream.

The huge kinetic energy of the 10mm caliber shells of the Green Gun immediately tore the Japanese soldiers who were shot into pieces and scattered them all over the mountain.

On the slopes of the east and north sides, the Japanese soldiers changed color one after another, lying on the hillside and not daring to show their heads, screaming and cursing in their mouths.

"Okay, give me a hard beating!"

Seeing the two Green cannons, Xu Yusheng stomped his feet happily: "If there are two more, as long as the cannonballs are full, I will not be afraid of thousands of troops!" ”

"Ceasefire, Grimm Cannon give me a ceasefire!"

Ma Decao, who was guarding the southern slope, ran over and said anxiously to Xu Yusheng: "Xu Dusi, we don't have many green artillery bullets, what should we do after the Japanese army is besieged from all sides?" ”

"What to do, what do you say?"

Xu Yusheng's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted frantically at Ma Decao: "Now that the Japanese are surrounded by mountains on all sides, there are only a few people in the left army gate, and they can't break through the Japanese army blocking line in the south to rescue us!" Even if we desperately break through the southern front, how can the Japanese defense line under the mountain rush? The left and right are one death, and it's not okay to let Lao Tzu kill him before he dies! ”

The gunfire of the Qing army on the top of the mountain suddenly slowed down, and everyone looked desperate.

"You also know that the Xuanwu Sect has few troops! More than 700 of us are dead in Peony Terrace, how can we guard the Xuanwu Gate? ”

Ma Decao also yelled at the top of his voice.

"I'm going to die, and I still care about my mother-you have a way?"

Xu Yu stopped abruptly and looked at Ma Decao deadly.

"I'm in command!"

Ma Decao also stared at Xu Yusheng fiercely without giving an inch.

"Okay, you command; All the sentinels of the battalion listen to the order, and they all listen to the command of the horse garrison! ”

Xu Yusheng yelled in disbelief.

"Okay, Ma Guard, where you say, we'll fight!"

"Whoever frowns is a green-headed king!"

As soon as they heard that there was still salvation, everyone on the peony platform was in high spirits and roared in unison.

"Zhou Zhongsheng, Yu Ziqiang, He Shantang, the Japanese army in the south, west, and north must be suppressed to the death, and they must not be allowed to attack!"

"Good!"

All the soldiers will shout in unison.

"The Green artillery on the Eastern Front immediately stopped firing and retreated ten meters to be fully loaded and on standby; The northern artillery continued to strafe. ”

Hearing Ma Decao's order, the Green guns on the east side of the artillery team immediately stopped their attack and began to retreat.

"Weak resistance on the Eastern Front, let all the Japanese troops come up."

After waiting for another half a minute, Ma Decao ordered loudly: "The Green artillery on the northern front will stop strafing, pull to the eastern front, and load the shells and line up with the Green artillery on the eastern front."

Some of the smarter soldiers, who had vaguely understood Ma Decao's plan at this time, were overjoyed, raised the fast rifles in their hands, and shot at the Japanese soldiers on the mountainside.
