Gap?

When fighting bandits together and fighting the Taiping Army, it is natural that there is not much difference, and the masters are more artistic, so that they can be equal, and only then can they show their true colors as heroes!

Fighting the bandits, the Lu army didn't even use three points of force, fighting the Taiping army, using less than six points of strength, it seems that the twist bandits and the Taiping army can't resist the attack of the Lu army, the Hunan army, the Huai army, but one goes all out, the other hides clumsiness, of course, can't try the depth.

Only in the face of foreign invasion will the Lu army be the most energetic and will show 100% strength, and this time, Yan Chunyu will definitely do his best, because the enemy he is facing is too strong, so strong that even the Lu army does not dare to be careless!

Now, after a day of fierce fighting, the British army finally broke through the defense of the Lu army at the top of the tiger's mouth and the beach, and entered Rongcheng Bay, but the price paid was too heavy, and the heavy to the present Saigo Takamori has fainted once.

It's too tragic, 30,000 Japanese troops, in order to break through a small beach and the top of the tiger's mouth, actually paid the price of nearly 20,000 casualties, this is just breaking through the top of the tiger's mouth, and I don't know what kind of tricks the Lu army is waiting for.

As for the British army, life is also not easy! In addition to the hapless Colonel Hans, there was also a lieutenant colonel, two majors were killed by the Lu army, and the British casualties exceeded six hundred!

Dundas and Horton are also distressed, 600 British troops, what a special amount, Lao Tzu would rather take 6,000 Japanese troops in exchange!

This blow is really too painful, this is just a breakthrough to the beach, and now according to the intelligence reported by the scouts, now the Lu army has built strong fortifications in Niu Qingshan and Red Mountain, waiting for the British army to come, strong fortifications? How sturdy?

Horton couldn't imagine what kind of fortifications the Lu army had prepared for them in Niu Qingshan and Red Mountain to resist their attack, anyway, now Horton understands that the combat strength of the Lu army is not weaker than the British army, if there are really 30,000 such Lu troops in Shandong, then don't say anything, Horton will turn around and leave, don't fight, even if it can win, it will definitely be a tragic victory, and in the end the British army will definitely be greatly injured, absolutely injured!

Fortunately, the news reported back by the scouts in front is not so bad, the Lu army on the two peaks will definitely not exceed 8,000 people, maybe less, then don't worry, 30,000 British troops plus 10,000 Japanese troops, besieging less than 8,000 Lu troops, it is definitely a crushing situation, unlike the beach and the top of the tiger's mouth, here they focus on landing, and they don't understand the situation at all, and they were caught off guard by the ambush arranged by others.

"Order, the 15th Brigade and the 16th Brigade will advance with all their strength, launch a tentative attack on Red Mountain first, and see how strong the other side is......"

The two infantry brigades received Horton's order and began to advance towards the Red Mountain, and it was not long before they came to the foot of the Red Mountain.

The Red Mountain is not very high, on the seaside, and in Shandong, it can be regarded as a miracle to have a peak with an altitude of several hundred meters, the altitude of the Red Mountain is only more than two hundred meters, and the terrain is not so steep.

The commander of the 15th Brigade, Major General Herbus, and the commander of the 16th Brigade, Rogers, carefully watched the fortifications of Red Mountain in the telescope, and the two of them were shocked and puzzled, what kind of fortifications are these? Never seen before!

The trenches are distributed over the entire Red Hill and are related to each other, and the trenches are also very special, they seem to be a little different from the general trenches of the British Army, very different, what about the artillery of the other side? At least now there is no trace of it, what about the legendary heavy machine gun? It's nowhere to be seen!

The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't see the reality of Lu Jun's reality at all.

"Rogers, there's only one way, use the cannon to blast out their strength!"

Herbs said.

Rogers nodded and replied: "Okay, order, the two artillery battalions will shoot together, lock the Lu army position in Red Mountain, and carry out covered shooting, not a single mouse hole will be missed, and they will be fed with a full meal of shells first!" ”

Immediately, the two artillery battalions shot together, and in the roar of the artillery, shells fired at the Red Mountain position!

Shelling, intensive shelling! Although the artillery technology of the British army was slightly inferior to that of the French army, it was also among the best in the world.

During the half-hour shelling, the two artillery battalions fired hundreds of shells at the Lu army's position on Hongshan, and the Hongshan position was filled with gunpowder smoke and flames, and clumps of trees were ignited by artillery fire, burning in a torrent, and the entire position was shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

Herbs and Rogers held binoculars in their hands and watched carefully, the position was not lightly bombed, but there was no figure in the position, and not a single shot was released on the position of Red Mountain! It's really evil!

"Rogers, what do you think?"

Herbs asked, frowning.

Rogers shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not ordinary, it's too evil, the Lu army hasn't moved at all under the artillery fire, could it be that they have all withdrawn from their positions?" ”

"Wouldn't it? Why don't we launch a feint? ”

Herbs asked.

"Good! Rusford, lead your infantry regiment towards the enemy positions on Red Mountain, be careful, and show me what the hell the other side is up to! ”

"Yes, General Rogers!"

The infantry commander Lassford agreed, and commanded his infantry regiment to slowly advance towards the Red Mountain position, but there was no movement, no movement, and still no movement!

Rathford's infantry regiment had advanced almost seven or eight hundred meters, and there was still no movement! Now it is less than three hundred meters away from the position of Red Mountain!

Lasford's palms were sweating, but there was still no movement! Now launch an attack, I am afraid of a charge, and I will be able to reach the front of the position of the Lu army!

But Lasford didn't dare to take this risk, at the top of the tiger's mouth, the British army suffered a big loss, and his comrade-in-arms Hans was beaten into a sieve, his chest was already blurred by the blood, and even his ribs were almost all broken by bullets!

"Command, continue to approach slowly, pay attention to concealment!"

Lasford ordered, the strength of the infantry regiment pressed forward again, and it was fifty meters again, and there was still no movement, only two hundred meters, if the charge was launched at this time, it would be half a minute at most, and it would be possible to reach the front of the Lu army's position! Could it be that the positions of the Lu army retreated?

No matter, it's already under the nose of the position, if you don't charge, you're a fool!

"Order, the whole regiment will charge, rush up for me!"

Lasford shouted angrily, and the entire British infantry regiment moved into action and rushed towards the position ahead! (To be continued.) )
