Chapter 489: The Last Madness (2)
Keep in mind!
"Hurry up and give the order, the sentinels will be here immediately!"
Tashan took the telescope to look at the enemy formation, it was originally just a subconscious action, but it was such a subconscious action, but it made his face change wildly, not for anything else, just because he suddenly found that a large wave of extremely strict infantry and cavalry phalanx suddenly appeared in the formation of the Japanese army, the armor is bright, the flag is divided into five colors, standing like a mountain, murderous in the sky, compared to yesterday's Japanese army, the combat power is obviously stronger than a step, there is no doubt that this should be the main force of the Japanese army arrived! As soon as he thought of this, Tashan didn't dare to slack off, so he roared without looking back. 【】
"Wow!"
The heralds who stayed on the side did not know what was happening, but as soon as they heard Tashan's order in a hurry, they did not dare to delay a little, and hurriedly answered, and rushed out along the trenches.
"The number of sentinels!"
The situation was urgent, and as soon as the general officers arrived, Tashan didn't have any nonsense, and ordered straightforwardly.
"There are really eighty-seven soldiers at the first outpost!"
"Seventy-six soldiers from the second outpost!"
"The third sentinel, eighty-one!"
……
Tashan had orders, and the sentinels did not dare to slack off, and reported the remaining combat strength of each outpost in turn - the original four outposts under Tashan and the four outposts that were reinforced one after another, a total of eight outposts, should have a total of 1,000 soldiers, but after a day and a night of fierce fighting, there were only 687 people left in the eight sentinels, and the loss was nearly half!
"What about the artillery?"
Hearing that the attrition of the various outposts was so serious, Tashan's already ugly face suddenly became a little more gloomy, but he didn't say much, and instead asked about the situation of the artillery posts.
"The situation is not very good, after this day and night, there are still some shells, which should be enough for today, but the cannon is nearly half broken, and there are only eighteen that can be used now."
Hearing Tashan's question, Lu Chengzhong, an artillery soldier standing on the side, immediately smiled bitterly, shook his head, and replied helplessly.
"Broken? How could it be broken? ”
In the fierce battle last night, the Tashan headquarters withstood the continuous strong attack of the Japanese army, and did not let the Japanese army enter the artillery position.
"How can it not be broken? Brother Tower, this cannon barrel has a service life, you can calculate it yourself, since the start of the war yesterday, how many shells the younger brother has fired, and it is considered lucky to be able to keep the eighteen guns now, and after today, it is difficult to say how many are left. ”
It's okay that Tashan doesn't ask, but when he asks like this, Lu Chengzhong even cries out bitterly.
"Then I don't care, anyway, your artillery fire can't stop! The commander has an order, he must hold the position before sunset, that is, he must die, he must die on the position, and he will cheer up Lao Tzu, who dares to take a step back and shoot on the spot, do you understand? ”
Without the support of artillery fire, with such a small number of troops at the moment, how could it be possible to block the onslaught of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, this point, Tashan would not fail to understand, it was precisely because he understood, so he didn't care how Lu Chengzhong complained, he waved his hand brutally, interrupted Lu Chengzhong's complaint, and gritted his teeth and roared.
"Wow!"
A military order is a military order, although they know that this battle is already a lot of bad luck, but the Qing army sentry commanders are not very ambiguous, and they all responded loudly.
"Let's all go down and prepare, let the brothers hurry up and use some dry food, look at this posture, the Japanese slaves will come up soon!"
The battle has reached this point, there is no tactic at all, only to die to the end, Tashan has a strong will to die early, he doesn't want to talk more nonsense, after explaining a word, he sent all the generals away, and he himself picked up the binoculars and aimed at the middle of the Japanese army......
"Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho, hoo-hoo......"
At three o'clock, a gust of wind blew, the dark clouds in the sky cracked several cracks, the rising sun was finally revealed, not very bright, the sun that fell down was very soft, almost not very hot, but for the two officers and soldiers in the harsh winter, it was also a rare warmth, most of the Qing soldiers who were hurrying to use dry food raised their heads, admiring the sun that had not been seen for a long time, but at this moment, the Japanese ** suddenly remembered a loud shout, I saw a middle-aged general in bright armor, surrounded by a large group of attendants, slowly riding his horse through the back of the military formation, and it was the shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune who arrived!
"The last general will wait to see the general!"
As soon as Tokugawa Yoshimune appeared like this, the generals of the former army of the Japanese Kingdom, who had been waiting in front of the battle for a long time, did not dare to slack off a little, and rushed to the front one after another, and each paid a big salute.
"Okay, why is the army still stuck here, huh?"
Tokugawa Yoshimune did not shout, but stared at the former army commander Tokugawa and his entourage kneeling at the front with sharp eyes, and asked in an unkind voice.
"Back to the general's words, the people of China have sharp artillery fire, and the last general has been fighting until midnight since noon yesterday, and has launched ten rounds of strong attacks in a row, losing more than 4,000 soldiers, but ......"
As soon as they heard that Tokugawa Yoshimune had the meaning of accountability, Tokugawa and his entourage immediately panicked, and hurriedly explained after speaking.
"General Ben doesn't want to know the casualties, as long as Uji Castle, anyway, when will you be able to take this city, huh?"
Tokugawa Yoshimune didn't want to listen to the explanation of Tokugawa and his party at all, so he waved his hand impatiently, planning the presentation of Tokugawa and his party, and asked in a cold voice.
"The general is angry, and the last general will lead his troops to attack, even if he dies, he will take Uji Castle!"
Seeing that Tokugawa Yoshimune's tone was getting worse and worse, Tokugawa and his party panicked, and hurriedly kowtowed vigorously, expressing their attitude like a curse.
"Well, before noon, if you don't take Uji Castle, you can cut your stomach."
Tokugawa Yoshimune nodded, and in a cold voice, he gave Tokugawa and his party a death order.
"Hay!"
Hearing that Tokugawa Yoshimune had already said this, Tokugawa and his entourage did not dare to say more, and responded loudly, leading his generals back to the headquarters......
"The dogs are coming up again!"
At four o'clock, most of the Qing officers and soldiers were still using dry food, and they heard a loud shout from the sentry, and everyone hurriedly dropped the dry food, turned over with their guns, and saw a group of 3,000 Japanese warriors marching out of their own formation, and the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty did not dare to be careless, and put their rifles in their hands on the trenches, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.
"The whole army obeys the order: unarmour!"
The general who walked in the forefront of the three thousand Japanese samurai was the first attack yesterday and suffered a crushing defeat Torii Hikozo - yesterday only one charge failed, Torii Hikozo couldn't help but lose more than 600 samurai, and became the laughing stock of the whole army, stunned was deprived of the right to attack again, and could only watch the generals of the Japanese army desperately rush to kill in the rear, this kind of shame is quite uncomfortable, and now, the opportunity to take revenge is at the moment, Torii Hikozo is unwilling to miss it, this time he is determined to press all the troops at once, Fight with the Qing army to fight endlessly!
"Brush, brush...... Bang, bang......"
Torii Hikosan gave this order, 3,000 soldiers unloaded their armor, bamboo armor and bamboo helmets were thrown all over the ground, and the 3,000 Japanese soldiers, regardless of officers or soldiers, were now only dressed in white, with bandages on their heads, each holding a sharp blade, and the tragedy of a decisive battle.
"For His Majesty the Emperor, onboard!"
Hikoto Torii held the katana in his hand, looked around at his soldiers, nodded approvingly, and without saying more, he raised his hand and raised the katana high above his head, but turned down and shouted the order to charge.
"Onboard, onboard!"
As soon as Hikozo Torii roared, the soldiers of the Wa Kingdom who were determined to fight to the death all became enthusiastic, and one by one they roared loudly and rushed forward, sweeping towards the Uji River like a tide, and after a while, they had already rushed to a distance of less than 100 steps from the east bank of the Uji River.
"Artilleryman, hit me!"
Seeing that the Japanese army was in such a desperate posture, Tashan's eyes turned red, and he roared and gave the first battle order.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Tashan's general order, the gunners on the two positions in the rear did not dare to delay a little, only the remaining eighteen artillery began to wield, eighteen flowering shells roared into the Japanese army charging queue, and in an instant it exploded the Japanese army charging formation for a while, but this Japanese army was determined to fight with the Qing army, although it was washed by artillery fire, but did not stop the pace of the charge, still rushed forward like a tide, and soon killed the shore of the Uji River.
"Hit me and press the dog down!"
The east bank of the Uji River is open and the west bank is narrow, although the river is already frozen, the front that may attack the Qing army's position is only 300 steps wide, and most of the rest are steep slopes and high cliffs.
"Sudden ......"
As soon as Tashan gave the order, the fifteen machine guns on the Qing army's position immediately opened fire violently, and the dense rain of bullets was like a whirlwind of death.
"Rush, rush, onboard, onboard!"
Although the Qing army's firepower was fierce, the Japanese officers and soldiers who were determined to fight the Qing army to the death were not intimidated, and still rushed forward regardless of it, one after another, and although the casualties were extremely heavy, they still quickly advanced like a tide to the center of the Uji River.
"Grenades, throw!"
Seeing that the barrage could not stop the wild rush of the Japanese army, Tashan was also anxious, pulled out the grenade in the pouch on his waist, pulled the string, and threw it at the surging Japanese army, a group of Qing officers and soldiers followed suit, hundreds of grenades exploded like this, and the Uji River suddenly became a hell on earth, countless shrapnel flew in all directions, and more than 200 Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front were almost not spared, but even so, the Japanese samurai who rushed forward in the follow-up still rushed forward regardless of it, and gradually approached the west bank of the Uji River... …
