The tide of Qing troops rushed to the Japanese second-line defensive position, and when they approached the position at a distance of 200 meters, the machine guns in the position woke up again, and a series of bullets swept away a charging Qing army in an instant

The Japanese did not know what had stimulated the Qing army and made them desperate to take the Mt. Fuji position

The battle of Mt. Fuji reached its fiercest at this time*, all the Qing soldiers on the way to the charge gasped, trying to struggle forward on the road that had been beaten into mud If you look down from the sky, you can see a flash of bayonets The dignity of the country, the humiliation of the nation, the honor of the troops, and the yearning for the future seem to burst out at this moment, stimulating the nerves of every soldier, and everyone shouts at the top of their voices, An unstoppable wave of sound echoed throughout the valley, and the barrage of Japanese troops was almost less than ten meters in front of their forward positions, shrapnel killed and wounded soldiers on both sides almost simultaneously, blood flowed, flesh scraps flew everywhere, and the trenches were filled with the blackened corpses of soldiers on both sides

In order to hold their positions, the Japanese army could no longer avoid a hand-to-hand battle with the Qing army, and suddenly, the casualty figure soared at a terrifying level

The army that had just been formed in the Qing Dynasty lacked only experience, which can be seen from the survival ratio of veterans and soldiers, and many times, the soldiers who enlisted in the army used their courage to fight against the tactical superiority of the Japanese army Feng Zicai believed that as long as there were a few more battles, the army would become a real elite, an elite that could compete with the armies of the great powers

In the telescope, Feng Zicai saw the courage and tenacity of the Qing army, and also saw a lot of shortcomings, which should be solved in future training

In the trenches of the second line of the Japanese army, the Japanese army in the yellow color and the Qing army in navy blue were entangled together, and the two sides used regular and irregular fighting skills to effectively kill and injure the living forces of the other side

"Order the Fifth Brigade to rush forward, seize the opponent's artillery position, and let Cai Ning advance the artillery battalion position, it is best to drive on the shoulders of the stormtroopers, aim for direct fire, and hit the command post of the devil," Feng Zicai put down his binoculars and roared angrily

"Yes," a communications soldier hurriedly turned and left

The battle continued, and the rapid advance of the Qing army made the Japanese several lines of defense useless, and the fifth brigade quickly broke through the third line of defense and rushed straight to the Japanese artillery positions

"General, what should I do? The Qing army's stormtroopers were only 1,000 meters away from the artillery position, and the artillery could no longer shoot at such a close target because of the elevation angle," an adjutant anxiously asked Nakamura Value, who was still very relaxed just now

"Let the Inoue Wing go and stop the Qing army, and be sure to eliminate them in front of the artillery position," Nakamura reacted quickly

"Yes"

"Boom ......"

A shell landed next to Nakamura's command post, where the communications soldier who had just run out had already died

"What's going on?" Nakamura asked in surprise

But what he was waiting for was not an explanation from his subordinates, but a non-stop explosion

"Boom ......", "Boom ......"

"It's a mortar of the Qing Kingdom," I don't know who shouted

"What, the artillery positions of the Qing State have moved forward?" Nakamura was also surprised, "Quick, let the forward troops organize a counter-charge and take back the first-line and second-line positions, and we can't let the mortars of the Qing army stand there, and let the artillery attack the first-line positions."

"General, the artillery fire is too fierce, the communication soldiers can't rush out, and the order can't be issued," an adjutant said loudly while holding his head with one hand and Nakamura with the other

"Yaga, send a few more communication soldiers, maybe you can rush out, you must convey the order," Nakamura said nervously

"Yes"

After saying that, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers rushed out of the command post under artillery fire, but most of them were swept away by the air wave without taking a few steps, or were directly injured by shrapnel

"General, it looks like you can't rush out," the adjutant said to Nakamura

"Rush out with me, do you want to die here?" Nakamura also took the lead in rushing out

On the other side, the Fifth Brigade finally came to the Japanese artillery position after nearly 20 minutes of attack, and an artillery regiment may not be as effective as a company in front of the army, let alone vulnerable in the face of an army integrated brigade

"Boom ......", "Boom ......", "Boom ......"

Several loud explosions at the top of the mountain seemed to indicate that the blitzkrieg was nearing its end

"Okay, order the whole division to go out and annihilate the Japanese army on Mount Fuji," Feng Zicai put down his binoculars and happily ordered

"Yes," a communications soldier hurriedly turned to leave

After this battle, the sky was clouded with early morning for a whole night, and the two divisions of the Great Qing Dynasty were capturing prisoners all over the mountains

In the valley, from time to time, there were a few sporadic gunshots and explosions

The Japanese soldiers were no better than the British and French, and like the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, they were ashamed of being captured, and they would rather be broken than be completely destroyed in this regard, and they had to admit that the Japanese soldiers had the same military integrity

So after the general trend has passed, the sporadic fighting in the valley continues

However, because the grain and grass in the rear had been cut off and could not be transported in a short time, Feng Xianghua boasted to the emperor that he would break through Tokyo in three days, and now a day and a half had passed, so he was anxious to build his heavy artillery position on Mount Fuji

"Push all the heavy artillery up for me, yes, right here, aim for the city of Tokyo below" Feng Xianghua personally commanded the soldiers who were pushing the heavy artillery

"Bang ......"

Another gunshot, there are often such gunshots in this valley, Feng Xianghua is no longer surprised, but this time his eyelids jumped, I don't know what the reason is, I always feel that something is wrong

"General...... The general ...... "A soldier with a clearly tear-stained face ran over

Feng Xianghua recognized him, he was Ma Dezhong, a guard who had followed his father Feng Zicai for many years, and everyone usually called him Xiaoma

"Ponies? Why are you here, aren't your 2nd Division preparing to storm Tokyo? Isn't it at the bottom of the mountain? Feng Xianghua felt a slight ominous omen

"Plop", the pony fell to his knees, "General, division commander, he, the division commander insisted on going up the mountain to see you, and was hit in the heart by a Japanese wounded man on the way" After saying that, Ma Dezhong became in pain

"What?" Feng Xianghua suddenly rushed to his head and was about to fall, but the guards around him hurriedly held him up

"Father......" Feng Xianghua pushed away the guards around him and rushed out with the pony

The bodyguards around him hurriedly followed

When Feng Xianghua arrived, Feng Zicai had already lost his breath, no matter how Feng Xianghua shouted and shook his father, he never woke up, even if he didn't explain to his son in the end

Feng Xianghua stood up, staring at Tokyo City under the mountain with hateful eyes, as if about to erupt fire, telling everyone that his hatred had reached its peak

"Tell the two artillery battalions that the artillery position must be completed before 10 o'clock, and the target is the city of Tokyo for 5 hours of continuous non-stop bombardment, and all troops are ready to enter the city, according to the emperor's order, after entering the city, all military discipline will be temporarily canceled for three days, and the Japanese devils will cut off our food and grass, and what we eat is in the city" Feng Xianghua seemed to be ready for a one-sided massacre

"Yes"

"General, what do you want to ......" An adjutant was pushed away by Feng Xianghua before he could finish speaking

Feng Xianghua continued to say to the soldiers in front of him: "You are all from the Second Division? ”

"Yes, we all are"

"How do you Senior Commander Feng usually treat you?"

"The teacher is like my biological father", "The teacher treats us well", "The teacher is good to us"

"Okay, now that your division commander has been killed by Little Japan, how should you deal with yourself?"

"Kill little Japan and avenge the division commander," everyone said in unison

"Okay, go back and sharpen your bayonets, and get ready to enter the city at 6 o'clock in the evening" Feng Xianghua once again set his eyes on Tokyo City at his feet
