There is another advantage of being a fisherman, that is, because of the large amount of seafood consumed, the eyesight is generally good, and there is no night blindness that is still more common in this year, and Huang Haitao has a super vision of more than 2.0 because he likes to eat fish since he was a child.

Huang Haitao was already able to observe the nearby terrain through a telescope, but he found that he was worried about the high tide before, because the coast east of the second battalion was not the flat beach he imagined, but strange rocks and high from the shore, in the words of the instructor when he was trained, this kind of coast was called "bedrock coast". In Huang Haitao's hometown, this kind of coast is also common, but it is the first time he has seen such a steep and long coast, and sure enough, the instructor said that Japan has many natural harbors.

In fact, when he made up the local information before coming to Japan, it was also mentioned that the east coast of the Miura Peninsula was generally steep, but the terrain on the eastward journey led by Huang Haitao had been relatively flat, which made him suspect that the information was wrong and did not dare to continue eastward. It's very flat underfoot, yes, but once you get close to the shore, it quickly becomes a reef, and it's a natural defensive position!

The only thing that this kind of stone is afraid of is the fierce artillery fire of the opponent, because the blown up gravel will magnify the killing effect of the artillery bombardment, but even if the devil's field artillery mountain artillery keeps up with the team, because the charge is a black powder with insufficient power, and the caliber is not large, it is difficult to blow up the stones to fly, so Huang Haitao immediately made a decision, immediately advance to the east, and then arrange the position with his back to the sea, so that only half of the defense is needed, which can greatly make up for the lack of strength of the second battalion. And the closer they are to the sea, the easier it will be for the Chinese warships that come to the rescue to detect them.

Speaking of which, it was also thanks to the fact that the 4th Division was chasing from the southwest, otherwise they might have taken the lead in seizing the favorable terrain, and then they would be in trouble.

However, now some troops of the 4th Division were very close to the 2nd Battalion, and after discovering that they had the intention of moving the battalion, they did not dare to wait any longer, and immediately contacted nearby friendly troops and immediately launched an attack!

"Hey, I knew it wasn't that easy, but it's not that far." , Huang Haitao snorted coldly, and calmly commanded his subordinates to fight and retreat.

At this time, the Fourth Division exposed a fatal weakness, although they were good at using their brains and had first-class technical and tactical literacy, they were only not good at brutal hand-to-hand combat with bayonets.

During the Southwest War in Japan, the predecessor of the Fourth Division, "Osaka Zhentai", showed unprecedented bravery in the face of the Satsuma rebels who were good at hand-to-hand combat (mainly because the restoration of the samurai would seriously damage the interests of Osaka merchants, so these Osaka merchants were really desperate, which was the only time in history.) They suffered huge casualties and still fought desperately to the death, but the reason for the emperor's unprecedented solemn commendation was just that the Osaka Division fought desperately regardless of casualties, and it is conceivable how many real records they could have.

In fact, the real defeat of those "Xianliu" masters in the Satsuma rebels was the sword drawing team formed by the former ministers of the shogunate, and it was only the latter's embarrassing identity that allowed the Osaka division to pick up the greatest merit in this war.

Of course, most of the time, this weakness of the 4th Division is not fatal, in fact, their overall strength is likely to be the strongest among the seven standing divisions in Japan. But the problem is that now is precisely the time when it is necessary to see the red with bayonets and fight desperately with the enemy, the artillery of the Fourth Division is of high quality, but it has not yet arrived at the battlefield, and the infantry of the Fourth Division has very accurate marksmanship, but it has suffered a loss of bullets and guns, and the exchange ratio when firing is extremely ugly......

The only advantage of these three infantry brigades now is actually only the outnumbered and overwhelming, if the three infantry brigades rush up to fight the bayonets, after all, the second battalion is not strong enough, even if it can barely complete the transfer, the loss will definitely not be small, and then the follow-up troops of the devils come again, they may not be able to hold on.

However, the captains of the three infantry brigades did not have such courage, and many attacks were easily repelled by the second battalion because of the lack of strength invested, and by the time they found that this could not be done, the second battalion had successfully entered the reef-lined shore and set up a backwater formation, and anyone with a little military knowledge could see that they were much more difficult to deal with than before.

And what the Japanese army didn't know was that more than two-thirds of the Chinese marines were recruits who had just joined the army, and they had to train for a long time to become qualified soldiers, but now the Japanese army's repeated unsuccessful attacks were tantamount to giving them a lot of experience and confidence in vain, which made the young unit of the second battalion mature rapidly, and it has become more and more like an elite division......

Huang Haitao, who was very pleased, immediately sent an order to let everyone hurry up and have breakfast, because he would not be in a hurry for a period of time after that (he could only eat dry food during the rapid march), so the pieces of meat cut from the dead horses of the Japanese army before could be roasted and eaten, anyway, now that the sky is bright, he is not afraid to guide the enemy to the target.

The reason why it was to be eaten in the morning was because it was hot now, and if you didn't eat it, it would soon spoil, and the second battalion did not carry much dry food in this operation, so the captured food was also cherished, and it was not wasted at all, even if it was only one more meal, it was good, although it was hoped that the warships of the Navy would come to the rescue, but who knew when they would arrive?

At this time, the commander of the Fourth Division, Shizugo Yamazawa, was scolding at the captains of the three infantry brigades, "Three fully equipped infantry brigades, more than five times the strength, can't even stop the enemy's transfer?" ”

But what Shizugo Yamasawa didn't expect was that the three benevolent brothers actually dared to talk back, and one of them said without blushing, "If it's not for our army not working hard, the enemy has xx." "Your Excellency, the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army are too much stronger than ours, it is not wise to fight hard, our brigade has already killed and wounded more than 200 people, and if they are asked to attack, the soldiers will definitely not do it!" ”

"What kind of army is this!" , Yamazawa Shizugo couldn't help but laugh angrily and asked, "Then in your opinion, what should we do?" ”

"Let's wait for the artillery to catch up, we should not give up the superiority of our artillery, first bombard fiercely, and wait until the enemy collapses, and then send the infantry up, the casualties will be much smaller." The captain bowed and replied earnestly, obviously not entirely to evade responsibility, but indeed after deep thought. (To be continued.) )
