Chapter 829: Bloody Red Mountain (5)

Qiaotou Town is a town located on the border between Wendeng and Rongcheng, and it is also the only way to Weihaiwei from Rongcheng Bay, where Long Tao's Third Brigade is stationed, ready to meet Weihai or Rongcheng Bay at any time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Long Tao is also very anxious these days, Weihaiwei has a fort as a backing, hundreds of artillery sitting, naturally not afraid of the attack of the British fleet, but Rongcheng Bay is different, Rongcheng Bay has no army garrison, there is no decent offensive, if the British army and the Japanese wantonly attack, it is difficult to resist with the strength of Zhang Suimou's brigade for too long.

Just when Long Tao was anxious, the cavalry sent by the Second Brigade rushed to Qiaotou Town to meet Long Tao!

"Brigadier Dragon!"

When Long Tao saw the cavalry of the Second Brigade, he stood up and shouted: "Tell me, what is the situation in Rongcheng Bay now?" ”

"Brigade Commander Long, our army fought fiercely with the British devils and Japanese devils for three days and three nights, killing no less than 5,000 foreign devils and wounding countless people, however, the casualties of the brothers of the Second Brigade are too great, the combat attrition has been more than half, the artillery and heavy machine guns are seriously damaged, and even, before I came, Brigade Commander Zhang was injured by a stray bullet and is in danger, our chief of staff asks you to rush to the aid of Hongshan immediately, it is too late, but it can't be saved, so I can only collect the bodies of the brothers of the Second Brigade......"

"What!"

Long Tao stood up as soon as he landed, and even Zhang Suimou was seriously injured, which shows the fierceness of the battle!

"Zhang Hexiang, immediately lead the cavalry regiment to the aid of Red Mountain! The order was given, and all the troops immediately set off, marched with all their might, and rushed to Rongcheng Bay! ”

Long Tao gave an order, and the entire Third Brigade took action, and finally waited for the Third Brigade to make a move, the First Brigade had already fought a battle, and the Second Brigade had fought a bloody battle for several days, only the Third Brigade was resting, and the brothers were already suffocating!

It is only sixty miles from Qiaotou Town to Rongcheng Bay, and if you march with all your might, it will not take you a day, and as for the cavalry, it will be there in the blink of an eye!

Zhang Hexiang is very qualified, known as the first commander of the second division, and none of the commanders in the entire Lu army has more qualifications than him, and the cavalry regiment under his command is the elite cavalry led by He Tengjiao in Baoding, and in less than half a day, the cavalry regiment rushed to the vicinity of Hongshan!

How to rescue?

The problem is in front of Zhang Hexiang, the advantage of the cavalry lies in the charge, in the surprise attack, if it is a stubborn positional battle, that cavalry regiment will not be able to grab anywhere than an infantry battalion, and it must not climb the Red Mountain or Niu Qingshan to defend it!

You can't defend it, and the situation doesn't wait for anyone, so there's only one way, take the initiative and raid!

"Zhang Qinghe!"

Zhang Qinghe, the commander of the reconnaissance company, hurriedly urged the horse to catch up and shouted: "Regiment commander! ”

Zhang Hexiang shouted: "Go, immediately lead a few brothers to go around from the side of the Red Mountain to reconnoiter the enemy situation of foreign devils, move quickly!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Qinghe urged the horse to run down, the current cavalry regiment is only separated from the position of the British army and the Japanese army, only a red mountain, but the distance is only five or six miles, and even the artillery shells have used up their strength, and they can directly hit the position of the cavalry regiment.

It didn't take long for Zhang Qinghe and a few scouts to rush back, and it was too late to draw in a hurry, Zhang Qinghe jumped off his horse, picked up a piece of dry branch on the ground and drew the various firepower points of the British army and the Japanese army!

"Regiment commander, now the main forces of the British and Japanese coalition forces are all concentrated in Hongshan, there are almost twenty or thirty thousand people, and there should be some troops on Niu Qingshan's side, and the opponent's artillery is very powerful, all deployed in the rib area, the British army is on the left, and the Japanese army is again, and now it is still storming the southern foot of Hongshan, we need to act immediately, it seems that the soldiers of Hongshan will not be able to support it for long!"

Zhang Hexiang raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Order, give up the Japanese troops on the right, those are all vegetables, if you want to fight, let's fight hard!" Aiming at the artillery positions of the British army, three battalions, three arrows in unison, charge me with all my strength, and destroy their artillery positions as much as possible! ”

On the Red Mountain, the officers and men of the Second Brigade have completely fallen into a bitter battle, Duan Zhiqiang commanded the army is still defending the Red Mountain, and now there are only more than 1,000 people, almost all of them are wounded, the British army and the Japanese army have even rushed to the position twice in a row, but they were stubbornly beaten down by Duan Zhiqiang, artillery, shells are gone, heavy machine guns, bullets are gone, and now only rifles and bayonets can be used!

Duan Zhiqiang held the machete in his hand, panting heavily, his eyes were full of gold stars, the British army and the Japanese army continued to attack, and the Lu army didn't even have a time to breathe, even if it was an iron man, it would be dragged down for three days and three nights!

Looking at these soldiers in front of him, Duan Zhiqiang's heart was gloomy for a while, it seems that his brother is really going to explain here today, Niu Qingshan's brothers are also completely contained in the mountain, and they can't rush over to support at all, and they run out of ammunition and food, and they underestimate the strength of the British army on the opposite side, which led to such a dangerous situation.

However, having said that, if you really have the entire Second Division in your hands, you won't be afraid of their British army, it's a big deal! Lao Tzu doesn't beat them out of the, the paragraphs are written backwards!

Duan Zhiqiang's heart was full of grievances!

The British army has launched an attack again, there is no way to retreat, there is no way to avoid it, death is death, there is no big deal!

"Brethren, the time has come to test our faithfulness! Behind is our great mountains and rivers, behind us is our wife, children, father, Lu Jun, who has never been a bad seed, and if it is a man, stand up for Lao Tzu! Get ready for battle! ”

Duan Zhiqiang stopped his waist again, snatched the battle flag of the Lu army, and held it tightly in his hand!

Just when Duan Zhiqiang and his thousands of brothers were about to fight to the death, the sound of horses' hooves under the mountain sounded one after another, and a cavalry galloped out from the foot of the red mountain, divided into three, like three sharp swords, piercing the left rib of the Anglo-Japanese army!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Three torrents rushed straight to the British position, and now the British and Japanese coalition forces have just launched another attack on the Red Mountain, and all their energy is focused on the top of the Red Mountain in front, but they didn't expect that at the foot of the Red Mountain, a cavalry roared and attacked their right flank!

The distance of two miles, which is almost instantaneous, does not leave time for the British army to deal with it at all, too fast, too fast!

"Prepare to meet the enemy, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Horton was frightened, and hurriedly ordered the British army to prepare for battle, but unfortunately, it was too late, the distance between Red Mountain and the British position was too close, and it was too late at all, and the three cavalry rushed into the British artillery position at one end!
