Chapter 472: Night Attack and Counter-Night Attack (2)

Keep in mind!

"Attack!"

At three o'clock, it has reached the darkest hour of the day, and the sky that was already starry and moonless at this time, it is no longer a finger that can be reached, and the dead silence of the earth is not even a sound of insects, and there is a suffocating and depressing atmosphere in all directions, but Tokugawa Ichiki obviously does not care, but enjoys the depression and tension before the imminent war, but seeing that he stretched out his tongue, licked his shriveled lips fiercely, waved his hand, and lowered his voice and snorted. 【】

With Tokugawa Kazuki's order, the 2,000 Japanese soldiers who had been ready for a long time spread like a tide towards the small hill where the Qing army was located, and the thousands of people did not make much noise during their movements, and it was obvious that the soles of all the soldiers were wrapped in thick cotton cloth.

"Hit!"

The distance of one mile is not too far, even if the Japanese army's action is not very fast, but it is only half a pillar of incense, the army has already rushed to the bottom of the hillside, just when the sneaking Japanese army stood up straight, ready to launch a wild charge to the Qing army camp on the hillside, but heard a sudden loud sound, instantly shattered the silence of the night.

"Bah, Bah, Bah......"

On the mountainside, rows of guns that have been aimed at the black hole under the mountain instantly erupted brilliant gun flames, shining one after another, in the explosion of bean-like gunfire, countless bullets gathered into a net of death, wantonly harvesting the lives of the Japanese soldiers, only for a moment, the Japanese pioneers who had not yet rushed up the speed had been knocked down by the flying bullets more than 100 people, and the rest were all in chaos.

"Rush, rush for me, kill the mountain, and exterminate the dog!"

Tokugawa Kazuki did not walk in the front of the army, but personally led the main force to walk in the queue of the Chinese army, this time saw the gunfire on the mountainside, how could he not know that his own sneak attack had already been calculated by the Qing army, but he did not intend to retreat, but pulled out a katana hanging from his waist, shouted and issued the order to the death.

"Heavy, fire at Lao Tzu!"

Akiyama, who was personally pressing on the left flank, saw that the Japanese army was advancing instead of retreating, and when he was on fire, he roared and gave the order while firing with a gun.

"Sudden ......"

Akiyama gave this order, and more than a dozen machine guns that had been silent suddenly began to wield, pouring a rain of bullets on the Japanese soldiers who rushed wildly, and the fierce fire instantly covered most of the hillside, and the Japanese soldiers who wanted to rush up the mountainside fell one after another like wheat cut down by a sickle.

"Send a signal for the right flank to launch an immediate assault!"

At the camp of the Japanese alliance, Juntaro Honda, who was dressed in armor, did not sit in the big tent of the Chinese army, but stood at the camp gate, and when he heard the gunfire on the left flank of the camp of the Qing army, he couldn't help frowning, but he didn't show the slightest panic, and after a little consideration, he waved his hand and gave an order loudly.

"Hay!"

Juntaro Honda's order was obviously very different from the predetermined plan, but the herald who was accompanying him did not dare to ask more questions, and hurriedly answered the promise in a loud voice, and then raised his hand and threw a signal flare into the air, but after hearing a muffled sound, a blood-red ceremonial flower had exploded brightly in the air.

"Attack, kill the dog!"

In the right flank of the Qing army ambushed by the two thousand five hundred feudal alliance troops under the command of the great name of the Hota Domain, Shimono Moriji, this saw the signal flare at his own camp exploded, Shimono Moriji's heart couldn't help but twitch, no side, only according to the predetermined plan, the right wing ambush he led should wait for the Qing army to be attracted by the surprise attack of the left flank before suddenly entering the battlefield, in order to achieve the grand feat of crushing the resistance of the Qing army in one fell swoop, but now the gunfire on the left flank has just started, and it is obviously not the time to plan the attack. Freedom must not be hesitant for Shimono Moriji, but since the Central Military Department has given the order, even if Shimono Moriji has more doubts in his heart, he will definitely not dare to disobey Honda Juntaro's order, but seeing that he pulled out the katana at his waist, he slashed forward with a hideous face, and gave the order to attack with a roar.

"Sudden ......"

I don't know if the Qing army was really attracted by the offensive of the left flank of the Japanese army, Shimono Moriji smoothly led his troops to rush through the open area in front of the Qing army's camp, and killed the hillside without any danger, and the forward even rushed up the hillside, and then a wild run, it was enough to rush into the Qing army's camp from the rear, but unfortunately such a short distance was a dead end that could never be completed for the Shimono Mori 2 Division-just when Shimono Moriji thought he was winning, more than a dozen guns flashed wildly halfway up the mountain, it turned out that more than a dozen machine guns were firing at the same time.

"Rush, rush me, those who retreat will be killed!"

In the sudden burst of gunfire, the vanguard of the Japanese army, which had rushed the fastest in nearly 100 years, was beaten into a sieve on the spot, and the momentum of the wild charge of the Japanese army was immediately a meal, as soon as he saw this, Shimono Moriji suddenly turned red, and roared again and again to drive the soldiers to launch a fierce rush, even if they were swept down by the rain of bullets of the Qing army, they would never retreat.

"The gunners stepped forward, suppressed the firepower of the Chinese people, and the crossbowmen followed, shoot me!"

On the battlefield on the left flank, the casualties of the vanguard of the Japanese state who launched the charge were not counted, and more than 200 Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground by the powerful firepower of the Qing army, either dead or wounded, but even so, it was still difficult to rush through the short distance of fifty paces between the two armies.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The Japanese army also has firearms, and its guns use old-style arquebuses, the body of the gun is thick and long, and it is filled with black gunpowder, as for the bullets, it is a large number of small steel balls, and the power is not small, similar to the shotguns of later generations, but the loading trouble is not to mention, the speed of shooting is also slow, and the wire on the gun must be ignited with the fire rope, and the gun body must be kept stable when shooting. Most of them have been swept down by the fierce firepower of the Qing army, but the Japanese have always been ruthless, although there are heavy casualties, but there are still more than 20 Japanese soldiers who successfully fired the arquebus, but after listening to a muffled sound, countless small steel balls covered the Qing army's position like a torrential rain.

"Heavy man, kill those gun-wielding slaves for Lao Tzu!"

The arquebus hit close but not far, at this time the distance between the two sides was about fifty paces, it was already on the edge of the effective coverage of the arquebus, when many small steel balls flew to the trenches of the Qing army, the power was already limited, but Rao was so, this rain of bullets still injured more than 20 Qing soldiers in front of him, in an instant, there was a miserable howl on the mountainside, and the dense firepower of the Qing army was also chaotic.

"Sudden ......"

Kicked by Akiyama like this, the machine gunner didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly tilted the muzzle of the gun, aiming at the place where the arquebus had fired before, and it swept away, and instantly shot most of the Japanese soldiers who had not had time to withdraw.

"Whoosh ......"

Although the Japanese soldiers were almost wiped out by the fierce firepower of the Qing army, they successfully won precious time and space for the Japanese crossbowmen who followed them, but in the sound of bowstrings, more than 200 feather arrows whistled through the night sky and fell densely like locusts to the place where the Qing army's trenches were.

Casualties inevitably appeared, and more than 20 Qing officers and soldiers who could not evade were shot like hedgehogs by random arrows on the spot, and the miserable howls suddenly rang out, and the firepower in the center of the battlefield was inevitably empty, and it was difficult to block the barrage of Japanese soldiers.

"Throw grenades!"

As soon as he heard the gunfire in the center of the battlefield suddenly weakened, Akiyama immediately judged that it was difficult to stop the charging footsteps of the Japanese soldiers, so he dared to slack off, and hurriedly shouted a loud order.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

With Akiyama's order, the Qing soldiers on both sides of the battlefield immediately took off the long-handled grenades inserted in the belt on their waists, pulled the strings, and threw them down the mountain one after another.

The charge of the left wing Tokugawa Kazuki failed to succeed, and the right wing Shimono Moriji also failed to take advantage of the Qing army, and the casualties were not heavy, but these two Japanese armies were all violent people, and they always launched wave after wave of charges to the Qing army's position, relying on the fanatical blood of not being afraid of death, and approached the Qing army's position step by step in the face of the Qing army's bullets.

"Draw the knife and drive the dog down the mountain!"

Seeing that he couldn't suppress the charge of the Japanese army, even if Akiyama was in a hurry, if he was really rushed into the position by the Japanese army, the Qing officers and soldiers in the trenches would inevitably be at a geographical disadvantage, and the consequences would not be easy to play, such a risk, Akiyama did not dare to take the risk, so he broke off and led his troops to rush out of the trenches, and entered the charging queue of the Japanese army like a tiger going down the mountain, and the tragic white-knuckle battle began!

"All of you, come with me!"

After the battle started a stick of incense, Hongqing, who had already led his troops to quietly lurk in a small forest two miles away on the east side of the battlefield, finally issued an order to attack, and led his three hundred and fifty cavalry to rush out of the grove......
