After learning that the Anglo-Japanese allied forces on the Qingdao side were dragged by the German army and were in danger of being surrounded and annihilated by the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army, the Japanese troops on the side of Baohushan immediately became so anxious that they went crazy and began to launch an extremely fierce and fierce attack on the 1st Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army, which was blocking the attack.

Boom-boom-boom

A large number of mines on the official road were detonated by mules and horses galloping by, and in the smoke and dust, accompanied by violent explosions, there were constantly killing and wounding, and a pungent smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with the smell of burnt barbecue filled the air.

Terauchi Masashi also let go, using all the mules and horses of the logistics baggage troops to ride mines, and he no longer bothered to think about how to transport ammunition and materials after breaking through the blockade of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance.

Seeing that the mines were almost gone, Terauchi Masashi couldn't wait to pull out his command knife, pointed to the position of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, and shouted and ordered: "Order, with the wing as a unit, the whole army will continue to attack the position of Zhina!" ”

It is still a rigid "pig burst tactic", and it is estimated that Terauchi Masaki has no other tactical tactics except for ordering a strong attack and rushing.

Although the Japanese army still had as many as 7 infantry wings at this time, which could launch a continuous attack on the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army like a tide, the narrow terrain near Baohu Mountain was obviously not conducive to the deployment of large-scale corps, and no matter how many troops the Japanese army had, it could only attack in echelons.

With the order of Masashi Tsunachi, groups of Japanese soldiers bent over the corpses of mules and horses on the ground, and quickly approached the position of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance.

At this moment, on the artillery position on the mountainside of Baohu Mountain, Shen Huai, the commander of the artillery regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, saw through the telescope condescendingly and clearly saw any movement of the Japanese army.

Seeing the Japanese troops constantly swarming over, the corners of Shen Huai's mouth raised slightly, and he ordered: "Order, the field artillery will carry out a covering artillery bombardment on the official road ahead according to the 1,000-meter gauge and the rapid-fire artillery according to the 900-meter gauge!" Kill and damage the Japanese infantry as much as possible, and fire five rapid fires! ”

Soon, a herald shouted to convey Shen Huai's order, and the artillery groups of the artillery regiment, which had been preparing for a long time, quickly completed the final preparations before the shelling.

"The Japanese infantry on the official road in front of the target. Five rapid fires, fire! ”

The red command flag was waved down, and the main gunners of each artillery group immediately pulled the gun rope with all their might.

Boom -

The bodies of 35 60mm rapid-fire guns and 40 80mm field guns shook in unison, and the huge recoil caused the entire gun to suddenly fall back.

75 shells rushed out of the chamber with acceleration. With a sharp whistling sound, it broke through the air, crossed a perfect parabola in the air, and smashed it towards the Japanese troops on the official road.

"Shelling, lying down!"

The junior officers of the Japanese army were very experienced, and as soon as they heard this sharp whistling sound in the sky. Warnings were immediately shouted, and the Japanese soldiers immediately fell to the ground to avoid the shelling.

Boom-boom-boom

Shells rained down one after another, rolling up bursts of air waves, and shrapnel representing death flew in all directions in the air waves, and the Japanese soldiers who did not have time to lie down were instantly torn apart by the holes, leaving behind a rain of blood and human limbs and flesh.

After two rounds of shelling, the artillery regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army launched an extended artillery bombardment. Clouds of smoke continued to rise from the long official road, and for a while, the smoke completely enveloped a large section of the official road north of Baohu Mountain.

In the face of such ferocious covering shelling, the Japanese soldiers had no choice but to lie on the ground and endure shells plowing around them. Gritting his teeth and listening to the screams of his comrades who were killed and injured by shells, he didn't dare to move at all.

Seeing the tragic situation of his infantry under heavy shelling, Terauchi Masaki gritted his teeth and scolded: "Yaga! Damn Wang Mo, he actually left the artillery unit behind to block the attack! ”

Kamio Mitsutomi's face was also very ugly, and he said in disbelief: "In the last artillery battle, although the artillery wing of our army was completely wiped out, it must have inflicted heavy losses on the artillery regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance. China does not have the capacity to mass-produce artillery, how could the artillery regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army replenish so much artillery so quickly? ”

At the mention of this, Terauchi Masatsuki was even more resentful, and scolded: "According to the intelligence of the Imperial Intelligence Department. That branch man, Wang Mo, has always had a mysterious arms import channel! These cannons must have been provided to the people of China by those white ghost animals, and the people of China deserve to die, and those white ghost animals deserve to die even more! ”

At this time, Japan was allied with Great Britain. However, neither the upper nor the lower nationals of the country have a good impression of the Western colonizers, including the British, and can even be said to be hostile.

The shelling by the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition lasted only a quarter of an hour before it gradually stopped.

After firing five rapid fires, Shen Huai, commander of the artillery regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army, did not give the order to continue the shelling. After all, it is not a battle of attack but a blocking battle, and the limited shells must be used at critical times in order to delay time as much as possible. The rounds of shelling just now only made the Japanese fearful, and they did not dare to use their huge forces to launch an intensive charge on the positions of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army.

"Attack, keep attacking!"

As soon as the shelling of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army stopped, Terauchi Masashi impatiently issued another order to attack, eager to fly to Qingdao with the whole army now.

The Japanese soldiers of the brigade once again launched an attack on the position of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, and Li Jian, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately gave the order to open fire.

Bang-bang-bang

Fierce gunshots rang out, and countless bullets flew back and forth in the air above the area around Baohu Mountain, constantly harvesting young lives one after another.

The battle on the side of Baohushan was fierce, and the third regiment of the 2nd Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army on the Qingdao side had also arrived in time and blocked the way for the British and Japanese troops to withdraw to Laoshan Bay.

The retreat was blocked, and the Anglo-Japanese coalition forces immediately became anxious and began to frantically attack the 2nd Division and 3rd Regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army.

Of course, although it was a British and Japanese unit, in fact, the main force of the battle was still the Japanese army, and the 2,000 delicate British troops were just soy sauce goods.

"Hit, brothers, these Oriental dogs to death! The commander is about to arrive, and we must not let go of these foreigners who dare to run to our Chinese borders to spread wildness! ”

Cui Zhengming, the head of the third regiment, roared loudly, his expression fierce and hideous. For the Oriental and English foreigners who came to Qingdao to grab the land, he had long wanted to stab these bastards a few times.

Bang-bang-bang

The Japanese soldiers of the brigade were shooting while approaching the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army, the people in front fell, and the people behind almost did not hesitate to make up for it, and the ruthlessness and madness in the charge were really frightening.

The soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army were also not to be outdone, and dense bullets rained down on the Japanese soldiers, killing and injuring the Japanese soldiers in pieces.

The Japanese army had too many troops and rushed fiercely. The 2nd Division and 3rd Regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army also did not carry any heavy weapons, so more and more Japanese troops approached the defense line of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance.

"Grenades, quick, throw grenades!"

The rank and file officers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army did not hesitate to give the order to throw grenades.

Boom-boom-boom

Grenades smashed out. Seeing that the Japanese army, which had broken through the defense line of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, was suddenly blown up, the offensive could not help but be stalled.

"Fuck, fuck these shit!"

The soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army took the opportunity to shoot wildly, and suddenly killed the attacking Japanese troops with heavy casualties.

“Oh，**！”

In the command of the Anglo-Japanese forces. The British commander Barnardiston couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "Mr. Kamio, your army's attack this time was repelled by the Chinese. These squadrons blocking our retreat are probably only the vanguard, and if we fail to break through their blockade, we are likely to be surrounded by the squadrons and the Germans. ”

Hearing the complaint of the British commander, the Japanese commander Kamio's face was very ugly, but he knew that now was the critical moment of life and death, and it was not the time to quarrel and complain to each other, so he had to say: "Your Excellency, you can rest assured, before the main force of the Chinese arrives." Our Imperial Japanese Army will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese army in front of us and open the way to Laoshan Bay! ”

Just as Kamio was about to order the Japanese army to attack again, a communications soldier walked into the headquarters with an anxious expression and reported to the Japanese commander Kamio: "Report, General Terauchi has called, they have been blocked by the Shina army in Baohu Mountain, and I am afraid that they will not be able to quickly reinforce our department. In addition, General Terauchi instructed that our department should escort the Allied forces to Laoshan Bay no matter what! ”

As soon as the communications corps finished reporting, a Japanese officer ran in in a panic. Anxiously reported: "Report, the Germans suddenly increased their attack on our troops, and the Kameda Wing in the rear asked for reinforcements!" ”

The bad news came one after the other, and the interpreter quickly briefed the British commander Barnardiston on these urgent military situations.

Barnardiston's face changed dramatically. Angry and dejected, he scolded: "Damn Germans, they must know that the Chinese are blocking our retreat, so they took the opportunity to increase the offensive and buy time for the Chinese to surround us!" No, we can't wait any longer! It is necessary to immediately break through the blockade of the Chinese and attack. Attack immediately, and the armies of my British Empire are also involved! ”

The British could no longer care about anything else, although there were only two thousand British troops here, but if they were annihilated or captured by the Chinese, it would definitely cause a huge shock in Britain itself, and by that time all these people serving in the Far East would have no good fruit to eat.

The Japanese were even more anxious, and they knew very well the consequences of the fall of the Allies, and Japan could not afford the wrath of the British.

"Attack, at all costs, break through the blockade of the Shina people!" The commander of the Japanese army, Kamio, immediately roared and ordered.

In order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated, the British and Japanese forces were really desperate, not only did the Japanese army launch a decisive charge, but even the British army that played soy sauce also launched auxiliary attacks from both flanks.

After all, the strength of the three regiments of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army was too small, and in the face of wave after wave of attacks by the Anglo-Japanese coalition army, it was gradually unable to do so.

"Kill give—"

The Japanese soldier Cao shouted orders with a hideous face, directing the Japanese soldiers to frantically rush to the defense line of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance.

Two grenades per person have been thrown, and as a last resort, Cui Zhengming gritted his teeth and roared and ordered: "Bayonets, bayonets for the whole army!" Regardless of the officers and soldiers, everyone will give Lao Tzu, even if they die, he and his mother will block them! ”

"Kill! Brothers, kill these dogs, Japan! ”

The officers and soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army shouted loudly, holding their rifles with bright bayonets in their hands, and rushed towards the British and Japanese soldiers! (To be continued.) )
