Chapter 217: Battle for Toulao Island III
The Oriental generals on the Datong Gate, as well as the guests from Western countries, looked at the shocking blood color of the bridge on the river under the sun, and seemed to smell the bloody smell of blood in the wind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I can't help but change color.
And a few war correspondents are busy focusing on photography.
It has been a few years since there had been a major war in Europe and America, and I think these photos must have piqued the interest of readers, who would have pulled out their money to buy newspapers.
Seeing this kind of behavior of the war correspondents, the faces of a group of Japanese generals on the city wall were even more unsightly.
"Haha-"
Lieutenant Colonel Smirnov laughed loudly, looked at Harris and praised in English: "Your country's Green cannon is really sharp and extraordinary, it really opens my eyes!" β
Just now at the Admiral's Palace, Lieutenant Colonel Smirnov's question, Toyo Translation did not translate, so this guy directly used English this time.
This big bear!
Harris cursed in his heart.
Previously, he only stood on the country's standpoint and justified the export of weapons to the United States, but he did not have the slightest idea of provoking the Oriental troops around him.
"With such a narrow and straight bridge crossing the river, only a few people in front of your army can shoot effectively, and your army's guns are single-shot rifles."
So Harris kindly reminded Tsuno Michikan, who had a very ugly face: "Your Excellency, General, please tell me to speak up; If you don't change your strategy, as long as the Grimm cannon has enough ammunition and doesn't get too hot and stuck, your army will not be able to break through this line of death fire at all. β
While talking, on the left bank of the river opposite, a group of Japanese soldiers in black coats and black hats suddenly rushed out, and fled in all directions.
Behind is a group of Qing soldiers wearing red and bright Qing army uniforms, desperately chasing!
In the middle of the pursuit, there were constantly Japanese soldiers who were shot and fell into the water, and there were also Japanese soldiers who raised their hands high and surrendered to the Qing army.
"Yaga!"
Michikan Tsuno felt that his face was hot, and he was fanned with a 'pop' sound, and he really regretted that he had died and climbed this city wall.
As a result, it is now embarrassing!
"Yaga Ya Ya Masturbation!"
Oshima Yoshimasa, who was standing on the side, jumped up and down angrily, and shouted: "General, please give the order, I will immediately lead the troops to exterminate this group of Qing pigs; I'm going to throw them all into the Datong River to feed the fish! β
"Bang, bang."
At this time, two gunshots rang out at the side of the bridge under the castle, and it was the commander of the 12th Wing, Tomoyasu Shinobu Nakasa, who angrily shot two Japanese lieutenants in succession, and then roared and pointed to Tou Lao Island, launching a second round of attack.
Everyone in the Datong Gatehouse stopped talking and looked with bated breath.
The 11th Squadron's 1st Class Sergeant Cao Shiota Dingqi led the nine soldiers in the squad to bend their waists low and advance along the bridge in fear.
In the words of Tomoyasu Nobu Nakasa, the shame they brought to the Imperial Army could only be washed away with their own blood, and either the entire squadron died on the bridge or occupied Touro Island.
There is no other choice!
The turbulent Datong River shook the bridge violently, and looking at the large pile of blood-red corpses that was getting closer and closer in front of him, Shiota Dingqi's heart almost jumped out.
I don't know if I can capture Toulao Island, but I know that the soldiers of our small detachment are all dying here today!
Just thinking about it, Shiota Dingqi's heart is about to break.
"Charge!"
Behind Shiota Dingqi, the acting squadron leader Second Lieutenant Shigeichi Hata roared, and Shiota Dingqi also roared with a sad face: "For the emperor!" β
"For the emperor!"
More than 150 Japanese soldiers of the 11th Squadron on the entire bridge roared with a tragic face, and while bending down and speeding up, they fired from the flank at the Green cannon on Toulao Island.
"Ready!"
Liu Mingyang gave a loud and calm order, and waited until the Japanese army rushed to that section of the Shura field before he suddenly shouted: "Fire!" β
At the same time, his right hand shook the Grimm Cannon's firing wheel like a rock.
"Da-da-"
"Bang bangβ"
The Green cannon and the Mauser rifles of the reinforcement army were fired at the same time, and the bodies of the Japanese soldiers at the front exploded into a rain of blood.
As soon as Shiota Dingqi rushed to the section of the bridge that was covered with blood and corpses, his feet slipped and he was thrown to the ground.
At this time, he heard the roar of the Green Cannon in his ears, and his eyes were filled with blood.
It's just a face, and the nine soldiers under Yantian Dingqi have all been killed!
"For the sake of the Emperor, charge!"
Second Lieutenant Shigeichi Habata in the back continued to yell desperately, and piles of Japanese soldiers rushed into the Duan Shura field, stumbling and shaking by the corpses under their feet, and then they were cut off by the merciless plough of the Qing army's guns and bullets.
"Get down and fight back!"
Second Lieutenant Shigeichi Harata saw that this would not work at all, and if he rushed down, he would definitely have to explain all the 150 people here, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to lie on the bridge and shoot.
"Bang, bangβ"
The two sides immediately exchanged guns, firing at each other from a distance of 200 meters.
The Qing army's Green cannon was erected on a stable island, and even the Qing army who was lying on both sides of the bridge could hardly feel the shaking of the bridge.
The Japanese soldiers lying in the middle of the bridge were constantly swaying violently in the river under the bridge, so they couldn't shoot accurately at all, and they didn't hit a single Qing soldier for half a day.
"Shoot me!"
But he quickly shot a Qing soldier holding a magazine into the river.
"Okay, call me!"
Second Lieutenant Shigeichi Harata yelled angrily.
"Ahh
A soldier beside Liu Mingyang was shot by a stray bullet, screamed, and fell into the river.
"Long live the Emperor!"
Seeing that a Qing soldier was shot to death, the Japanese soldiers on the bridge roared one after another.
It's not easy, after fighting for so long, nearly a hundred imperial soldiers died, and finally killed a Qing army!
"Chunsheng!"
Liu Mingyang shouted but didn't agree, gritted his teeth and stared at the Japanese soldiers on the bridge in front of him and shouted: "Look for death!" β
Then Liu Mingyang pressed the head of the gun, and 'clicked' while shooting, and then ploughed out a long line of death between the sawdust and flesh on the bridge.
"Ahh
A group of Japanese soldiers who had been shot were screaming and rolling on the bridge, splashing blood and flesh everywhere, and the Japanese soldiers on the side were almost frightened.
"Order artillery bombardment!"
Standing on the gate of Datong, Tsuno finally admitted that in the face of the dense metal jets, the flesh and blood and courage of the soldiers alone would not help at all.
He Changying stood at the top of the right fort, looking at the battle in the direction of Toulao Island with satisfaction, and seemed to see a lot of people coming up from the Datong gatehouse, holding a telescope to look at it, and immediately laughed happily.
"Haha, Yoshimasa Oshima, an old acquaintance; Xu Ru, raise our red flag! β
Immediately, a bright red flag fluttered in the wind at the top of the right fort.
"What's that?"
Michikan Tsuno looked at the red flag, and his face was different.
"Baga, it is the banner of the Korean aid army, He Changying, a cunning fox, actually ran to Jiangzuo; I'm going to have to skin him alive this time! β
Oshima Yoshimasa saw the banner of the Korean reinforcement army at the Dongxian Ridge Sheren Pass, and he was almost half dead at this time.
Dongxian Ridge was a time, and his first brigade was completely annihilated.
And this time, he actually wanted to eat the artillery of his third squadron!
This clear pig can't wait to eat him raw!
Hearing the name He Changying, all the Japanese generals were shocked, and they all had a very bad premonition.
The first brigade of Dongxian Ridge has nearly 1,300 troops, and the first cavalry squadron of Shun'an Post has more than 200 troops, all of which are completely annihilated.
Could it be that this time it was the turn of the three artillery brigades?
Infantry, cavalry, plus this artillery, that is to say, the three major branches of the Imperial Army will be rotated by him.
If he succeeds, then just to aid the Korean army, the army will wipe out the army's 1,800 people inside and out, more than one-tenth of the Pyongyang army!
