Chapter 14: The Battle of Tuchengzi
Tuchengzi has now become a battlefield of fighting. The soldier ID of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army and the Qing soldiers fought together. Both sides are fighting for a mountain, which is too important, not to mention the high and minus, and the passage is blocked.
According to the agreement, the Japanese army began to attack Lushun early this morning, but as soon as they arrived in Tuchengzi, they were ambushed by the Qing army.
The commander of the 11th Brigade of the Japanese Second Army, Yasumi Terra, frowned, and had attacked three times, but each time he was defeated by the Qing army.
What's even more terrifying is that the Qing army didn't know the strength it came from, so they transferred more than a dozen coastal defense heavy artillery guns to Tuchengzi Mountain. What a hell of an evil sect, that cannon exploded a big piece. A pit is blown up.
I can't see where these cannons are ambushed, but every time the cannons are fired on the mountain, Oji Anjun's face will keep twitching, and the sound of that thing is too terrifying. And it's so immoral that you can't even find the ashes if you get into it.
At first, he thought it was encountering sporadic resistance, but in the end he found that the Qing army actually had about 3,000 men.
Just now, he also transferred artillery, preparing to blow up the opponent's artillery, but before he could fire a few shots, he would be hit by the Qing army's field artillery.
In the binoculars, he saw a man who was hit in the stomach by three bayonets, and the Qing soldier actually stabbed the gun in his hand into a Japanese soldier and hugged another Japanese soldier, looking at the neck and biting it.
Is this still a Qing army? The temple couldn't help but feel frightened, since he set foot on the apprentice of the Qing country, he has not received any decent resistance, he has believed the words of the intelligence department, the Qing army is demoralized, greedy for life and afraid of death, and has no fighting spirit, but today. What did he see, if the morale of such a Qing soldier is low, then what is high morale, such a Qing army is greedy for life and afraid of death, he really can't find what it means to be not afraid of death.
The Japanese troops in the telescope once retreated to the bottom of the mountain, and the Qing army did not pursue, but returned to the mountain, and was waiting solemnly. Several yellow dragon flags on the mountain are waving in the wind, as if mocking the temple.
On the mountain, seeing that the Japanese army had retreated again, Cheng Lin, who was crawling in the trench, smiled, spit, got up, and ran to the back, and now Liu Jun is there.
"Head, we repelled another enemy attack."
The regiment led by Liu Jun arrived here three hours ago, when the Japanese army had just begun to attack, and both sides were warming up, but now, both sides knew the strength of their opponents, and no one would let anyone.
The Qing army retreated, and then they could only go to Lushun to fight with the Japanese army in the streets, which Liu Jun would never allow.
Liu Jun thought for a moment. said, "Carry me over." ”
"Head, this...... This one. ”
"Carry me over." Liu Jun is on fire.
Cheng Lin had no choice but to carry Liu Jun to a safe place, where he could still see the entire battlefield.
It was the first time Wu Xiaoyan saw such a terrifying place, under the mountain, there were a lot of corpses lying there, some of the Qing army and some of the Japanese army, and she saw a broken arm hanging on a tree branch, dripping blood.
Wow, she threw up. His face turned pale with fright.
Liu Jun glanced at Wu Xiaoyan: "I told you not to come, you don't believe it, this is not your boudoir." How about now' Wang Ruifang didn't speak, just kept vomiting, and Liu Jun didn't make fun of her, but carefully observed below.
At the foot of the mountain, the Japanese army was beginning to assemble again, and it seemed that they would attack again soon.
After a closer look, two miles behind the mountain, there was a proposed tent made of tree branches, which was the brigade of the Japanese army. However, it is unrealistic to defeat the Japanese command now.
"Bring me a topographic map." Liu Jun said.
Cheng Lin hurriedly took the map and unfolded it in front of Liu Jun.
After looking at it a few times, Liu Jun had already calculated, and he said: "If I draw out a regiment, can you withstand the attack of a brigade of the Japanese army and hold on here until dawn tomorrow." ”
Cheng Lin lowered his head, and looked at the Qing army who was crawling in the tunnel with tattered clothes, and after a while, he raised his head: "Head, I can't." ”
Liu Jun knew that he couldn't, he smiled and said, "I know you can't, go and call Li Rong." ”
Hehe, Cheng Lin answered, turned around and found Li Rong on the position of the third regiment.
Li Rong's face is now covered with black, and there are a lot of blood stains on his body, which were left when he fought with the Japanese army with bayonets just now.
"Brigade, are you looking for me?" Li Rong asked straight to the point.
Liu Jun took out the map: "You immediately lead the first battalion of the first regiment, the first battalion of the third regiment, and the second battalion of the third regiment and a company, in addition, bring three unconscionable cannons." From here, go around and attack the enemy's flank.
Li Rong took a look, and if he wanted to go around, he had to cross a river, and it was a cold day...... Li Rong bit his finger.
Seeing that Li Rong didn't speak: Liu Jun stared at Li Rong and said, "What, there is a difficulty, do you want me to let Cheng Lin go." ”
"No need." Li Rong was already young and couldn't stand the agitation, so he stood up and immediately began to pull out people and run briskly from the back mountain.
Wu Xiaoyan also understood that if she wanted to go around, she had to cross the river, and she asked in surprise: "This river is so wide, although the water is not deep, it is ...... open."
Liu Jun also closed his eyes. He didn't want that either.
Boom, the Japanese launched another artillery bombardment, and a new round of attack began, this time the Japanese army was red-eyed, and a wing of artillery fire began to rush towards the hill before it stopped.
The only field artillery on the mountain also launched echelon interception according to Liu Jun's teaching, but it was only a drop in the ocean. The Japanese still advanced under artillery fire.
The temple at the foot of the mountain saw the interception of the Qing artillery and knew that this time it was an opponent. Seeing the Japanese troops rushing through the interception area, he still didn't smile at all. He knew that the terrible cannon hadn't been fired yet, and that was his pain.
Boom, with a loud bang, the terrifying cannon on the mountain fired, and after a burst of smoke, the dozen or so Japanese troops who had just shot and attacked the advancing under the mountain had disappeared. The temple was now so angry that his face turned pale. He hated this unknown artillery, and from the beginning of the war to the present, this deadly artillery had already lost more than two hundred people, and it was only six hours.
Why does the navy still not cooperate with the army and attack from the sea, so that at least it can reduce some pressure, but now that it has been fighting for a long time, why is the Qing army on the mountain not retreating.
The two sides exchanged fire. Voices were heard inside the temple. The firepower of the Qing army has weakened, and it seems that the navy has launched an attack, and the Qing army has divided its forces. Thinking of this, he laughed. Akiyama Yoshiko, who was next to him, didn't understand why Teranachi was laughing, so he asked Terauchi, and Terauchi told the future Japanese general what he thought. Akiyama Yoshiko also laughed.
However, the weakening of firepower does not mean that the Qing army has lost its combat effectiveness, and the Japanese army is still unable to occupy the territory of the city, and it cannot stand on the soil city, so attacking Lushun is a nonsense.
At the foot of the mountain, Li Rong had already led the men and horses to the river, looking at the waist-deep water and the broken ice floating from time to time, Li Rong stood by the river. All the Qing soldiers headed for the river that blocked the way.
The commander of the first battalion came over and asked Li Rong, who was standing there: "Tuanzao, what should we do, do you want to go around." ”
Li Rong didn't speak, just looked at the twenty-meter-wide river. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go down to the river, let's go over." With that, he was the first to raise his gun to the top. Got down the river.
The icy water invaded the bones at once, and Li Rong was verbose, but he still walked forward firmly.
"Brothers, the group has gone down. What are we still afraid of, don't forget the fathers and villagers in Lushun City and the brothers who are fighting. The commander of the first battalion roared a few times and also went down the river.
More than 1,300 people, none of whom spoke, silently raised the guns and explosives in their hands and followed behind Li Rong.
There was nothing in the water, and when I came ashore, the cold wind blew, and my pants became ice bumps. In order to keep warm, everyone ran quickly, so that the numb legs could move early.
Akiyama Yoshiko also noticed his side, and he put forward his opinion to Terauchi, hoping that Terauchi would pay attention to his side, but Terauchi smiled and didn't reply.
Little doll, dare to come and point out me, there is a river on the side, and now in this weather, he doesn't believe that the Qing army will come.
Don't bother with this little officer. Oji Yasujun observed the situation on the mountain again, and the good news was that the troops had attacked. Now he is fighting with the Qing soldiers.
Cheng Lin wiped out the neck of a Japanese soldier with a knife, and then pushed a Japanese soldier who was pressing a Qing army to the ground.
This attack by the Japanese army, like madness, repelled and went up again, and actually let the Japanese tear open the hole and rush up, which was the last line of defense. The Qing army also launched a plane counterattack.
Seeing that the attack was going up, Daiji Yasuchun once again ordered to transfer a wing, rushed up to destroy this Qing army, and then went straight to Lushun.
Before the order was given, there was a loud bang. He was scared of a rambling sound.
Twenty meters ahead. A huge pit was smoking, and where there were a few horses, there was no trace of them.
Listen to this direction, is your own side.
Akiyama's prophecy actually came true, referring to the fact that he saw that the Qing army was trying to attack his flank. Where is the weakest place.
The situation of being attacked on both sides made the temple's face pale all of a sudden. The Japanese troops on the mountain could not withdraw, and one wing of the attack had just gone out, and now in his hands, there was only one wing left.
Whether to attack first or eliminate the threat from the flank, he was undecided.
"Report, order from the division headquarters." A communications soldier jumped off his horse and handed the temple a piece of paper.
I looked at the words on it: "The naval offensive has failed, and the sea and land advance to Lushun has failed." Order your troops to return to the Golden State. Be defensive and prepared.
Weakly dropped the paper in his hand, and Oji Yasujun sat down in pain.
