The defensive position of the 1st Brigade of the 16th Wing of the Japanese Army was two miles south, and the north wing of the city was one and a half miles north, and the water well was in the south. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army guarded the infantry squadron and the 3rd squadron of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade and strictly controlled the area around the South Water Well.

Yamaguchi Sotomi, Okubo Toshisada, and a group of brigade staff officers stood on a high slope, watching the battle in the northern wing of the castle, all with serious and gloomy faces.

The strength of the resistance of the Qing army exceeded the original assumption of the 3rd Brigade of Yuanyuan, and it was completely different from the battle they heard in Liaodong at Yingkou, and the Qing army was about to collapse and flee at the first touch.

Even if there is a certain amount of mental preparation for the reinforcement army wearing Western-style military uniforms in the North Wing City, the tenacity of the old-fashioned Qing army in Dongxiluo City is obviously something that these Japanese generals have never expected before.

"Yo Xi, this idiot of Fukushima, finally knows how to launch a charge and blast the city gates."

Then, everyone was pleasantly surprised to see that about two squadrons of soldiers began to charge the north gate of the city, everyone was happy, and Yamaguchi Suchen's gloomy face finally improved, revealing a hint of a smile.

The following is the Imperial sappers bravely blasting the city gate, and then the Imperial infantry swarmed in, completely defeating the Qing army in the northern wing of the city, and going down to the city in a battle.

"Dada-da-"

Suddenly, the Japanese generals on the high slope of the South Water Well heard a strange combo sound in their ears, and saw that under the bright sunshine, above the North Gate Tower of the North Wing City, a continuous tongue of fire suddenly erupted.

And the Imperial Impact Cluster below, under the blow of this tongue of fire, suddenly fell apart, and fell in pieces in the shocking blood.

"It's Grimm!"

Yamaguchi Suchen roared angrily: "Sakurai Kuzaburo, this idiot, why don't you bomb the city walls? Tell this idiot immediately, fire a high-explosive bomb and knock out the North Tower of the North Wing City! ”

Okubo Risada said with a pale face: "In order to prevent accidental bombing, it is recommended that the first and second brigades of the 16th Wing retreat 100 meters; The 3rd Brigade and the 3rd Brigade of the 4th Wing retreated to 300 meters from east to west. ”

If the artillery target bombards the north wall of the northern wing of the city, then the imperial artillery more than four miles away will produce an uncontrollable deviation of about 150 meters in the actual bombardment.

If the Imperial soldiers did not flank behind, theoretically speaking, the artillery shells on the Imperial front would not have been much less than the wall of the Korean reinforcement army, which was only 400 meters long and 6 meters wide.

Then it became the Imperial Artillery's almost equal bombardment of the Qing army and its own army.

This is clearly a ridiculous thing that must not be allowed.

"Go and deliver the order."

Yamaguchi nodded in agreement, but his face was covered with dark clouds.

-- This Shanhaiguan is worthy of being the first pass in the world of the Qing Dynasty, and it seems that it is not so easy to conquer.

"The whole army retreated 100 meters and attacked at 250 meters."

Fukushima Yongzhi, who received the order, gave the order to retreat with a humiliated face, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to continue shooting at the anti-Japanese army on the city wall after retreating to a distance of 250 meters.

"The Japanese withdrew?"

Seeing that the Japanese troops under the city began to crawl backwards, the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army on the city wall shouted in surprise.

One by one, I thought happily in my heart, the legend that in Korea, the Japanese army coaxed by Liaodong Niubi turned out to be nothing more than that.

He Changying, who heard the shouting, also hurriedly ran to the battlement to observe, and saw that on the 400-meter-long front directly north of the North Wing City, more than 2,000 Japanese troops were crawling back.

"Dongluo City is also retreating!"

"Ciro City is also retreating!"

With the shouting of the soldiers on the left and right sides of Beicheng, He Changying could directly see without a telescope that the Japanese troops in East and West Luo City were crawling and retreating.

"That's the end of it, it's not like the style of a Japanese army; After shooting so many shells and dispatching four or five thousand troops, if a charge is frustrated, it will not be fought? When did the Japanese army become so good at talking! ”

He Changying's face was full of confusion.

The Green artillery group in the city tower had already pressed the new bullet chain on the Green gun, and was waiting for the Japanese army to carry out the second death, but they heard that the Japanese army was going to run.

The angry Liu Mingyang grinned.

――Is this still the memory of the defeated and undeterred, indomitable Japanese army?

Looking at the Japanese troops who were squirming and retreating among the dead grass and bushes under the city, Liu Mingyang was not reluctant to give the precious Green cannon bullets, Liu Mingyang really wanted to give all these chain bullets to these greedy and fearful of death.

"Junmen, could it be that the Japanese are not convinced and want to shell?"

Luo Huafei replied casually.

In today's battle to defend the city, in He Changying's arrangement, there is nothing at all about Luo Huafei's whistle.

If it weren't for the self-esteem of these guest soldiers, He Changying would have preferred them to go to the pass to play, so that they would not be in the way, and they would have avoided being killed by the Japanese artillery in vain.

As a result, during the battle, Luo Huafei, who couldn't bear the loneliness, and more than 100 artillerymen in the outpost ran to the city wall with a quick gun.

If it was another soldier who did not obey the order to put out the fire in the city, he would have been beaten down by Lu Wenjie, the military judge of the regiment.

And the officer who led the team will also be recorded in the file.

But as the Dagu artillery of the guest army, who has nothing to say about them, as long as they don't add to the chaos.

As a result, in order to show that they were gentlemen and not bad breeds, the more than 100 artillerymen stayed in the north city wall and bent over to look back and forth at the excitement and hang out.

When the Japanese army stormed the city gate just now, these artillerymen rushed to the north wall and fired indiscriminately with their guns.

At this time, everyone's eyebrows were dancing, and each cow compared his godlike spear, and put down a few Japanese soldiers in one go.

Luo Huafei, who was also in a good mood, was standing beside He Changying, and heard He Changying's question in his ears, as a ten-year veteran artilleryman, Luo Huafei's thinking had obviously been revolving around the artillery.

So I said it jokingly.

――Could it be that the Japanese are not convinced and want to shell?

People who heard this sentence were stunned for a moment.

"The Japanese stopped retreating, retreating about 100 meters!"

Liu Yufu, deputy commander of the first battalion responsible for the defense of the left flank of the northern city, shouted in shock from the west side of the city tower.

In everyone's sight, the Japanese troops north of the North Wing City, after retreating to about 250 meters away from the North Wing City, immediately stopped retreating and began to continue creeping and shooting.

The Japanese troops in the direction of Dongjiluo Fortress retreated even further, completely silent at 300 meters, neither attacking nor retreating.

The truth is already clear.

"All the defending soldiers immediately set up battlement bunkers, and the rest of the troops went down the city wall to enter the anti-artillery wall, and the soldiers in the city immediately laid down everything to avoid the artillery fire; And the Green Cannon, quick! ”

He Changying glanced anxiously at the Green Cannon, and then at the narrow downstairs staircase, there were six or seven hundred soldiers in the reserve of a battalion plus Luo Huafei's outpost, plus a heavy Green Cannon waiting to be disassembled.

With just this one wall stairway, there is no way to quickly remove all the soldiers.

So He Changying ordered loudly: "The second battalion and the first company are from under the east city wall, the second company is from the west city, the third company is from the south city, and the Dagu artillery is from the north gate." ”

"Go to Southtown!"

"Go to the West Side!"

"Go to the East Side!"

With the shouting of the platoon commanders of each company, the anti-Japanese soldiers who were surrounded by the ladder of the north city wall turned their heads and ran, and in the blink of an eye, the place was empty, leaving only a group of Qing artillery wearing Red Army uniforms and the dumbfounded Green artillery group.

"He Junmen is a good soldier, and he is admired for his humble duties."

Although Luo Huafei is just a four-grade travelogue general, his uncle is Luo Rongguang, although he has not developed the temperament of the 'willow bar', but when he saw some adults and soldiers, he was not too scared to speak.

"Well, let's go down."

He Changying nodded.

His life was at stake, and Luo Huafei couldn't care about being polite, so he turned his head and ran towards the wall ladder.
