The Japanese army's marksmanship is also impatient, not to mention bullets biting flesh, a few bullets to eliminate a Liaodong army, they can still do it easily. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the battlefield, although the Japanese troops who were constantly approaching the defense line suffered heavy losses, the defenders were not much better, and people were constantly hit by quilts and fell in the trenches.

Soon, the Japanese rushed to a position fifty meters in front of the formation.

And the attacking troops of the two brigades, at this time there was almost one brigade.

In the face of the Japanese army close at hand, many riflemen of the Liaodong Army on the position had already begun to prepare grenades and engage in close combat with the Japanese army.

And this kind of fight is officially the last thing Li Zhilong wants to see.

Killing 1,000 enemies and inflicting 800 self-losses is the most significant feature of close-range combat.

In addition, he is facing the Japanese army, which is the best at close-range fighting, and when the time comes, it is possible to kill a thousand enemies, lose a thousand yourself, or even lose 1,000 yourself.

Li Zhilong frowned, and was just about to order the Russian regiment to rush to the position and use the superiority in strength to make up for the disadvantage of the Liaodong Army in close combat.

The mountain artillery battalion lived up to expectations, and after a few minutes of artillery fire, it successfully destroyed nearly 20 heavy machine guns of the Japanese army.

The remaining heavy machine gun fire was still very fierce, but under the suppression of dozens of light and heavy machine guns of the mountain artillery battalion and the fourth division, there was no way to continue to be arrogant.

As a result, the light and heavy machine gunners of the Russian regiment, who had entered the position a few minutes earlier, immediately turned their guns and fired wildly at the Japanese troops who were close at hand.

The Japanese army, which only needed to pay a certain price just now to keep advancing, could not attack one more step forward no matter how hard they tried in the five rounds.

Not only that, but the casualties of the attacking forces increased dramatically. Soon, layers of corpses fell in front of the Japanese army.

The battlefield situation also looked in the eyes of the chief of staff of the Japanese army, and seeing that the attacking troops could no longer push forward, he couldn't help but scold: "Eight grid tooth road, just a little bit, we won!" ”

"Let the attacking troops withdraw immediately, there is no strong firepower advantage, this kind of attack is not much different from sending to death!"

After the order to retreat was issued, the division commander on the side hurriedly comforted: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, although we were defeated, but in the Russian battle just now, we have tested the strength of the Liaodong Army on the other side, and your judgment of the Liaodong Army is not wrong at all." ”

"Also, we lost the attack just now. But I'm sure that the casualties and losses of the Liaodong Army were also huge! ”

"As long as we continue to attack and continue to strengthen our offensive firepower, victory will definitely be ours."

The chief of staff nodded and replied: "Yo Xi, you are right, we will continue the attack!" You go and arrange it right away, this time we will go up to four heavy machine gun squadrons and two infantry brigades! ”

Ten minutes later, a new round of Japanese attacks was defeated. But Li Zhilong also had to play his first hole card in the battle, the Russian regiment.

But even so, the two regiments lost more than a thousand people.

At the end of the battle, before the defenders had time to catch their breath, a new round of Japanese attacks began.

This time, the Japanese army used five heavy machine gun squadrons and three infantry brigades.

The dense Japanese army, like a large ant colony under the pressure of black, slaughtered the Liaodong Army.

"Crazy, the Japanese must be crazy, so many people rushed up together, isn't this a crowd tactic! Isn't he afraid that so many attacking troops will be killed by us with heavy machine guns? Chief of Staff Xiao Bing was shocked, and exclaimed with an incredulous expression.

Li Zhilong shook his head and replied: "It's not us who killed them, it's they who crushed us to the position." Didn't you see that the Japanese army moved five squadrons of heavy machine guns at once! ”

"With so many heavy machine guns, our mountain artillery battalion will not be able to help them for a while......"

After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Bing's reaction, he directly ordered: "Let the light and heavy machine guns of the Russian Second Regiment and the Russian Third Regiment all take up the position, and the infantry will be ready to reinforce the battlefield at any time!" “

"The scale of the Japanese attack is getting bigger and bigger, and the offensive is getting more and more fierce, and I have to play all the hole cards in advance."

A new round of Japanese attacks, undoubtedly, was once again repulsed.

But Li Zhilong was not happy at all, the three Russian regiments plus the four divisions and one main regiment, with a total strength of more than 8,000 people, have only more than 4,000 people left so far.

What's more, the three Russian regiments have become turbulent because of the great losses.

At this time, Li Zhilong was sure that if there were no reinforcements, the three Russian regiments would not be able to stop even a round of Japanese attacks and completely collapse.

Chief of Staff Xiao Bing also found out about this problem, and asked Li Zhilong with a frown: "Division commander, what should I do!" There were still more than 20,000 Japanese troops, and less than half of the heavy machine guns were consumed. Hard fighting, it must be unstoppable! ”

Li Zhilong frowned, and before he could speak, a staff officer beside him exclaimed: "Division commander, the Japanese army has begun to attack again!" ”

It was obvious that the Japanese also saw that they were not strong enough, otherwise he would not have been able to send an infantry wing, five heavy machine gun squadrons at once.

Look at the Japanese army completely with an unstoppable posture to defeat themselves through an attack.

Li Zhilong is sure that with the current situation on the battlefield, he will definitely not be able to stop this attack.

"Division commander, how to fight!" Xiao Bing frowned and asked with an anxious expression.

"I don't have any other way but to defend it! Notify the troops, hold the position, and after the battle, one person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the same will be awarded to those who are killed and wounded in battle! Li Zhilong, who really couldn't think of any other way, decisively decided.

Xiao Bing was stunned suddenly, and hurriedly reminded: "Division commander think twice, this is a division that is related to millions of taels of silver, will it be a bit to promise everyone without the consent of the commander?" ”

"I'll take the responsibility! As long as I can hold the position, I will personally go to the commander! ”

"Besides, in this situation, apart from the silver, I really can't find any other way to keep the troops on the ground, especially the three Russian regiments. Only silver can make the old Maozi of the three Russian regiments continue to fight for us! “

For ordinary Russian soldiers, a hundred taels of silver, even in the Russian army, they can't earn it back for several years.

And now, you only need to fight this battle, fight hard, and you will get a hundred taels of silver.

Although this desperate effort is likely to kill him because of this, in Lao Maozi's opinion, he is already a dead man in China anyway, why not fight hard? Maybe this fight, a hundred taels of silver will be in hand.

Even if he died, he would not lose anything, a hundred taels of silver, if it was sent to his family, would be enough for them to live a good life!

Therefore, as soon as Li Zhilong's promise came, the morale, which was still turbulent, immediately became stable. (To be continued.) )
