Chapter 62: Don't Believe in This Evil?
The rising flames suddenly frightened Nogi Nishinori, who was running, into standing there in a daze with his mouth wide open.
After a while, he understood, this is the Beiyang Sailor, the Beiyang Sailor.
"Why are you still standing stupidly, fast forward to the fort to meet the battle." Nogi Nishinori cursed angrily and the soldiers standing around him shouted loudly.
With a bang, a cannonball exploded not far from Nogi Nishinori. Frightened, she squatted down and escaped, but the staff officer standing next to him did not have this good luck and had his head cut off by a shrapnel.
Panicked and crawling back to the bunker, Nogi Nishinori wiped the sweat beads from his face with his hands that were still trembling slightly. After taking a few deep breaths and suppressing his jumping heart, he took the telescope with both hands like a madman, and began to search for the location of the Beiyang Naval Division from time to time on the sea.
From time to time, a row of orange-red suddenness flashed on the surface of the sea, and then an overwhelming and deafening explosion followed.
"Direction 40. Let the soldiers show the courage of the imperial army and fight me hard. Nogi Nishinori's eyes widened in anger. Looking at the sea in horror.
Ten minutes later, Nogi Nishinori was weak enough to reach the cold ammunition box. In his mind, he has already got an accurate answer. The port of Dalian can't be defended.
In the past ten minutes, Nogi Nishinori actively gave the troops banners and asked everyone to move artillery fire, hoping to repel the attack of the Beiyang Naval Division. However, the reality is too cruel, so cruel that Nogi Nishinori can't even think about it.
For more than ten minutes, not a single shell hit the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division, not even a little skin, on the contrary, because he exposed the firepower and the position of the battery, he let the warships of the Qing army give a heavy beating.
The loss of a few artillery pieces is nothing, this is not their own, there is no need to feel pain, but the soldiers are their own, and they killed one less than one, and it was only ten minutes, and in ten minutes, they lost more than two hundred people.
Looking at the corpses of the soldiers strewn across the fort, Nogi Nishinori closed his eyes in pain.
I regret it very much in my heart, these soldiers are the elite of the army, they should have been where they should be, where they should have died, but now, even the opponent didn't see what it was like, and it was really not worth dying like this.
"Brigade commander, the Qing army occupied the No. 2 battery." A squad leader wearing gauze on his tattered head and still bleeding from his head ran in a panic and told Nogi Nishinori, who was in a daze there.
"Got it, let's go down," Nogi replied weakly.
He did not order the sending of troops to recapture the No. 2 battery, and now it didn't matter to him who the No. 2 battery was.
How well the No. 2 battery is in its own hands, it is not in vain to increase casualties. It's better to give it to the Qing army, so that it can relieve the pressure. Nogi Nishinori comforted himself as he sat on the cold ammunition box.
But Heaven just can't get along with him.
Ten minutes later, the sun washed away the dense fog on the sea, and the whole world was in full view at once.
Nogi Nishinori, who had never seen clearly where the Beiyang Naval Division was, finally saw this terrible opponent and ruined his reputation.
Three kilometers away from the sea. Two warships, one large and one small, were lining up in a single formation, cruising from west to east while not releasing white and black smoke.
Nogi knew that it was not smoke, but the smoke from the heavy artillery fire.
He knew that the white snow-like warship at the front was the main ship Hashidate, which originally belonged to the Combined Fleet of the Great Japanese Empire. At that time, how much he loved and adored this brand-new warship. Now, however, he is now full of hatred and bitterness for the warship.
The warship that the country had worked hard to save money to buy turned out to be a wedding dress for him, was captured by Lushun, and was repaired and joined the Beiyang Naval Division.
Looking at the Hashidate, which was sneering with anger, Nogi Nishinori kept cursing the navy, and the captain of the Hashidate did not have a samurai spirit, why did he let the Qing army capture him in the first place, and let him now become a weapon to slaughter himself.
Boom, a shell fired from the 320-mm gun on the Hashidate exploded on a battery. Immediately, more than a dozen tons of artillery and the screams of soldiers were lifted into the air at a height of more than 30 meters, and then smashed heavily on a tree that was thick and thin to be repulsed, and the whole tree was smashed into a meat patty.
Boom, a shell exploded around its own bunker. He turned his head in a panic. At a glance, I could see the bare mountain opposite, with the Yellow Dragon Flag and thick smoke fluttering.
"Knock him out for me." Nogi Nishinori angrily ran to the mouth of the bunker and pointed to the Yellow Dragon Banner with gritted teeth.
Outside the city of Dalian, the Qing army and the Japanese army have already started a brutal hand-to-hand fight, and both sides are fighting for this small high ground.
For Liu Jun, if he takes this high ground of only more than 50 meters, then the artillery can be placed on it, and then bombard Dalian City.
For the Japanese army, hold this place. guarded the throat of Dalian.
From morning to now, the sun has begun to appear above their respective heads. However, both sides have already dispatched thousands of troops here.
"you paralyzed." Liu Jun kicked a short Japanese soldier with a little mustache on the side of his mouth.
He was kicked in the stomach by Liu Jun that day, and then took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
"Take your life." Liu Jun roared, rushed up and raised the knife in his hand, and wiped the other party's face full of fear and panic.
Poof, a red liquid squirted out of his neck and splashed on Liu Jun's face.
"Phew, that's disgusting." Liu Jun wiped the blood from his face with his hands.
The wiped blood stains suddenly made Liu Jun look like a ghost. Standing up, Liu Junyou began to raise his waist knife to aim at the next target.
Half an hour ago. The 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment finally broke into the position and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese troops above, and Liu Jun, who seized the opportunity, knew that this was a rare opportunity.
In order to boost morale and stand on his feet, he personally rushed forward with a regiment and followers. Fight with the Japanese army in the most primitive way.
Due to hand-to-hand combat on both sides, the artillery has lost its effectiveness. Now it is not weapons that are fighting, but the courage to face to face, the courage to endure the red of bayonets, broken bones, hellish screams and colorful flesh.
Although the marksmanship of the Lushun Army is not so good, this group fight is very famous, after all, for thousands of years, the country has relied on this to eat.
"Toutou, where are you, where are you?" Zhong Lin carried a machete and slashed a Japanese soldier to death, then tore his throat and kept screaming and looking for Liu Jun. ”
"Shout that shout," Liu Jun replied breathlessly not far away.
Seeing Liu Jun, Zhong Lin showed his white teeth, he wanted to follow Liu Jun and protect Liu Jun, he could die, Liu Jun couldn't.
came to Liu Jun's side and mentioned that Liu Jun had solved a Japanese soldier Zhong Lin shouted loudly: "Head, it's been half an hour of fighting, why don't the Japanese army retreat." ”
"**** his grandma, how do I know that these **** can fight?" Liu Jun's face was full of grievances and anger.
Poof, a knife stabbed into the stomach of a Japanese soldier, and the Japanese soldier got up in pain. Pulling out the waist knife, Liu Jun took a few breaths. After looking at the cavalry of the regiment in his position: "Call the cavalry to charge." call cavalry assault. Lao Tzu couldn't bear it. ”
"Okay" Zhong Lin nodded, struggled to come to the soldier carrying the flag, grabbed the Yellow Dragon Flag, or turned the flag into a circle.
"Chong" was already anxiously staring at the military flag on the horse, and Shoushan saw this action. Excitedly pulled out the waist knife. Slap the horse's buttocks, then start running forward.
With the addition of cavalry, the Japanese army, which was already struggling to support, suddenly lost the last bit of support and began to retreat.
Liu Jun sat on the corpse of a Japanese soldier, panting incessantly.
The Japanese army finally retreated and walked cleanly, and ran back to Dalian without even looking back.
"Head, do you want to go down and rest?" Zhong Lin asked with concern.
Waving his hand, Liu Jun shook his head: "Forget it, the Japanese bullets here can't hit, don't be afraid." Looking at the cavalry who were still fighting at 300 meters, Liu Jun shouted: "Hurry up and let the troops hurry up to repair their positions, and the artillery will quickly take position." The daily energy doesn't give us much time."
Zhong Lin nodded, and hurriedly went down to convey the order.
Everyone in the Arthur Army has an armament shovel. As soon as they received the order, they all began to stop resting and began to dig trenches non-stop.
Two banging gunshots. The leader of the Japanese squadron, who had just fled back to his position, was shot by the order of Sakuma Zomathew in anger. Then cut off the head and hang it on the city wall to deter the troops.
Looking at the bloody head and the frightened soldier, Sakuma Zomata was very satisfied with the effect.
"Whoever runs away without permission, this is the end." The chief of staff's words made many soldiers spit a few times.
"Yaga." After executing the fleeing officer, Sakuma Zomathew returned to the castle wall and cursed angrily.
The speed of the Qing army was too fast, and in only ten minutes, the artillery had already been pushed up the hill and several ditches had been dug.
He turned his head coldly and looked at the chief of staff, "Let the third and fourth wings attack, and if you can't take the position, you don't have to come back to see me." ”
The Chief of Staff also seemed to know the gravity of this place, nodded very solemnly, and then began to go down to convey orders.
Hmph, Sakuma Zomatjew muttered to himself: "Don't think that if you dig a few ditches, you can stop my victorious soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire.
