More than ten kilometers away, the sound of gunfire sounded in the middle of the night, and the Japanese troops also heard it clearly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although I guessed that the sound of these guns must be related to the sneak attack troops sent in. However, because the communications of this era were still very backward, the Japanese army did not know that the sneak attack unit of one of its brigades was being besieged by two main divisions and two main regiments of the Russian army.

Otherwise, the Japanese army, who was anxious to end the battle, would definitely take advantage of the darkness of night to launch an attack on the Russian defense line, which was full of holes.

However, the Japanese army will not wait in their own positions.

A large number of reconnaissance troops were sent by the Japanese army to reconnoiter the direction of the Russian army and reconnoiter the reality of the Russian defense line.

When the Japanese reconnaissance unit confirmed that the Russian army on the front line had withdrawn two main divisions in order to deal with its own sneak attack troops. Now, when the entire defense line was full of holes, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Oyama Iwa, immediately realized that this was a huge fighter to defeat the Russian army by himself.

The brigade group transferred by the chief of staff, Dashan Yan, has seen it, and he is confident that even if the Russian army uses two main divisions, it will be impossible to end the battle.

As long as this brigade is not eliminated, there is no way to change the situation in which the Russian defense line on the front line is full of holes. And he will have enough time to concentrate his forces and break through the Russian defense line.

As a result, only half an hour after the Japanese commander-in-chief, Oyama Yan, received the news, and the attack of one of the main divisions of the Japanese army began.

Under the cover of powerful artillery fire, the Japanese army, which was bound to break through the Russian defense line, went forward one after another, attacking the Russian army one after another.

The Russian army also knew that once the defense line was broken through by the Japanese army, the Japanese army would wipe everyone out here like beating a water dog.

Therefore, the Russian army should not be ordered to block it.

The battle began for two hours, despite the fact that the Russian defense line was full of holes. But because of their desperate resistance, they did not let the Japanese army get close to the position.

However, as the casualties of the troops increased, the loopholes in the defensive line, which were still small, continued to expand.

Two hours later, the tide of battle began to develop step by step in a direction favorable to the Japanese army.

On the defensive line that stretched for more than ten kilometers, Japanese troops continued to rush into the Russian defense line, causing huge casualties to the Russian army.

Although these Japanese troops were finally wiped out by the counterattack of the Russian army, everyone on the battlefield knew that this was temporary.

Dashan Yan, who has been paying attention to the battle situation, had a serious expression two hours ago, but at this moment it has been covered with a smile.

Seeing that an infantry squadron that broke through the Russian defense line was wiped out by the Russian army again, Dashanyan said with no anger and joy: "The Russian army will not be able to hold on...... Order, the attacking force was increased from two brigades to one brigade, concentrate all artillery fire, cover the attack of this brigade, and strive to break through the Russian defense line in one attack......"

As soon as a brigade of Japanese troops entered the battlefield, the Russian army felt great pressure.

In particular, the Japanese army also used all their own family funds to carry out artillery bombardment, which made the Russian troops on the front line feel an unbearable feeling of suffocation.

Soon, the decisive offensive began.

When a squadron of Japanese troops, with bullets in their heads, rushed into the Russian defense line. A large group of Japanese troops in the back rushed into the defensive line along the gap and continued to expand the gap in the defensive line.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army, who was standing beside Dashan Yan, immediately shouted with excitement: "Rush up, commander-in-chief, the troops have rushed up......"

"An infantry brigade has already rushed in, as long as they hold out in the gap for five minutes, a follow-up infantry wing can rush into the Russian defense line along the gap and defeat them!"

The attacking units of a brigade did not disappoint Oyama Rock.

The attacking troops of the following wing rushed to the gap in only three minutes. It's like a flood that bursts an embankment, quickly pouring into the Russian defense line.

At this time, everyone on the battlefield believed that the victory of the Japanese army was in sight.

But at this moment, the Liaodong Army's horizontal intervention not only made Dashanyan's victory fly away directly, but also caused his attacking troops to suffer heavy losses.

Under the fierce attack of an infantry wing, the Russian army was soon on the verge of collapse.

Da Shanyan, holding the binoculars, clearly saw that many Russian troops on the battlefield had collapsed directly because of fear.

At this time, behind the Russian defense line that was close to collapse, a dense Russian army suddenly appeared.

The Russians rushed into battle with rifles in their hands and in a desperate posture.

In an instant, the defense line of the Russian army, which was close to collapse, was stabilized because of the appearance of these people.

The gap opened by one of his own infantry wings, under the counterattack of these Russian troops, continued to shrink, and the losses of troops were getting bigger and bigger.

"How can this be, how can the Russian army still have reinforcements, this is completely inconsistent with the results of our reconnaissance." Da Shanyan, whose brows furrowed again, asked with a solemn face.

"I don't know ......," replied the chief of staff, shaking his head.

After glancing at the battlefield again, the chief of staff continued: "Commander-in-chief, there are only more than 10,000 reinforcements in the Russian army, and they are very tired, and they are rushing and killing with a lot of courage, and they can't hold out for long..."

"The gap in the Russian defense line is still there, and there are still two infantry brigades to fight again, as long as we continue to increase our troops, we can still defeat them."

Dashan Yan did not speak, and looked at the battlefield with a serious face.

A minute later, very decisively ordered: "Just do as you say." Two more infantry wings will be drawn to join the battlefield......"

"Although I don't know where the more than 10,000 Russian troops came from, it is an indisputable fact that the Russian army is insufficient, and I don't believe that after losing more than 10,000 people, the Russian army will have backup troops."

In the opinion of the chief of staff of the Russian army, as soon as his reinforcements arrived, the Japanese army would retreat in difficulty.

But he didn't expect that the Japanese army planned to fight him to the end today, and he would never give up without distinguishing between victory and defeat.

The more than 10,000 people he brought back, excluding the large and small defensive loopholes in the supplementary defense line, were really used to plug the gaps and eliminate the Russian troops who had already entered his own defense line, and there were less than 8,000 people.

As judged by the chief of staff of the Japanese army, at the beginning, with the courage of one blow, more than 8,000 subordinates killed 2,000 Japanese troops at once.

But as the battle continued, the exhaustion of the subordinates' continuous running and fighting showed itself.

The Japanese army, which had less than 2,000 men left, was besieged by several times the number of Russian troops, and actually stabilized the defensive line.

In this way, there will always be a gap in one's own defense line against the Japanese army. As long as the Japanese army is willing, they can send troops to fight into the gap at any time.

Seeing that the Japanese army not only did not have the slightest intention of retreating, but even showed signs of continuing to increase its troops.

The chief of staff of the Russian army immediately frowned, and ordered with a murderous expression.

"Order the troops, and immediately destroy the Japanese troops at the gap. I just want results, no casualties. ”

The chief of staff of the Russian army was afraid of what battlefield he was afraid of, and as soon as the order was issued, an exclamation sounded in his ears.

"Reinforcements, chief of staff, the Russian army has sent new offensive troops......" (To be continued.) )
