The artillery controlled by Zou Hua actually stopped operating after a round of artillery fire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Only a small number of artillery fired at the Fuso army, which did not play a suppressive role. The Fuso artillery lost the restraint of the Lu army's artillery and behaved extremely actively. The first line of positions carefully built by the Lu army was enough to support more than ten days according to common sense. However, under the fierce bombardment of Fuso's artillery, they only held out for half a day, and then they had to switch to the second line of defense.

However, the Lu army's defense line was quite exquisitely built, and if the Fusang army entered a defense line, it would have to face the fire bombardment of the Lu army's second defense line. Therefore, the Fuso Army did not rush to station, but still used artillery to bombard the positions of the Lu army first and cover the fire.

Later, when the Lu army summed up the tactics of the Fusang army, he said disdainfully: "The tactics of the Fusang people are extremely boring, nothing more than an alternate attack by artillery and infantry." This is like a competition between two people, we practice a move and a style, all of them are serious 800 kung fu, they are good, they rely on their strength without losing, and take all the way to fight Wang Baquan from beginning to end, what kind of thing is this? ”

Having said that, when Wang Baquan did fight the Shenquan Taibao without a temper, Wang Baquan was the most effective means. In only half a day, it broke through the front line of the Lu army, and this record made the Fusang Army breathe a bad breath, and the revenge of Longkou being attacked was finally avenged.

In the headquarters, Kamio Mitsuzo ordered: "Our army is taking a small rest and preparing to launch an attack on the second line of defense. At the same time, it is necessary to carefully observe the movements of the Lu army and prevent the enemy from retreating. Finally, a big fish was caught in the net, and it must not be let go. ”

The scouts have already sent the information, according to the latest information, not only Zhao Guanhou himself is on the front line, but the first person in the Zhao family's house, Su Hanzhi, is also in charge of the ambulance team in Weifang City. This time, as long as the encirclement is realized, the husband and wife are killed or arrested, and the entire Shandong battle can be declared victorious.

Such an important goal is worthy of all the weight of the Fusang Army. Even these officers became excited. Kamio said at the right time:

According to intelligence, in Weifang County, there are hundreds of female students who have come to the front line to encourage the morale of the army. Just catch them, our soldiers, and you can be fully relaxed. Tell the boys that if you want to taste the taste of the university students, give me an effort. If I let them escape back to Jinmen, I won't allow anyone to go there and be presumptuous. ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, my soldiers have already endured it to the point of madness, and I believe that these schoolgirls are more effective than Pills of Strength. Even if they are for the sake of female students, they will fight to the end! ”

According to the news sent by the Shandong Inner Line, those strong pills are indeed the miracle medicine newly developed by the Lu army, and they have a huge auxiliary role in the operation of the troops. What I used before was just a small test. In the next war, I was ready to use all these medicines, and the first war was successful.

However, although the half-day battle was not long, it was a desperate fight, and from the perspective of equipment, it should be the fifth town of the basic army of the Lu army. After half a day of fierce fighting with such an elite, the troops had to take a short rest. In the black smoke, Fusang sat on the ground and began to eat. The food of the Fuso Army has always been bad, and dry and cold rice balls with cold water constitute all the food of the Fuso soldiers.

On the Lu army's side, it was smoke curling, hundreds of whole sheep were washed and peeled, stewed in a pot, and served with fragrant white rice to become the lunch of the Shaanxi army. For most soldiers, this kind of food is not available in their hometowns. You must know that Shaanxi is a poor province, and even the big tycoons among the swordsmen can't let their brothers eat such good things.

Only Lu Jun...... Only Shandong can let them live a life that they never dreamed of.

A group of soldiers gobbled up meat in their mouths, and for many of them, it would be the last meal of their lives, so they ate it with great effort. The wind blew the aroma of mutton into the Fusang army, which made the Fuso soldiers look at their rice balls and pickles, and couldn't help but feel sad. Although the rations of the Fuso soldiers cannot be regarded as bad, due to the unsmooth supply, they can only ensure a full supply of 650 grams per day, and the taste can no longer be guaranteed. The Oriental soldiers smelled the smell of meat, and cursed in their hearts that their quartermasters and cooks were even more determined to take Shandong.

But it's one thing to have strong faith, and when the battle really started, the Fuso Army found that the second line of defense was not so easy to take. First of all, it was the assistance given by the artillery, which dropped a lot.

Suzuki Shouichi always felt that the artillery of the Lu army was knocked out too easily. Due to the smoke of gunfire during the shelling, the situation of the opponent's position could not be seen clearly, and I was always a little uneasy. The more the Lu artillery did not appear, the more Suzuki's heart was bottomless, and he simply suggested that the artillery shrink and take a wait-and-see attitude. Only a few artillery fires covered the infantry to continue the assault, and the power was much less than before.

On the contrary, the positions of the Lu army, equipped with a large number of two- and three-pounder light guns and a small number of mountain grenades, began to bombard the Fuso army. Although most of these artillery pieces cannot use shrapnel shells, each iron ball can still cause more than ten casualties, and it also makes the Fuso Army suffer greatly. The occasional shrapnel exploded on the infantry's head, which also made the Fuso infantry suffer.

Secondly, Yang Biao's reputation is by no means in vain. Under his arrangement, the entire defense line was unexpectedly invulnerable. The defensive line designed by the Prussian advisers was indeed remarkable. The design of the open and dark forts and the light and dark firepower points made the Fuso Army suffer enough.

The fortification group composed of the breast wall of the trench and the small bastion triangular fort was far stronger than the first-line position, and even the artillery fire of the Fuso army could not easily destroy the defense system. I thought it was a flaw in the defense and rushed up, but I found that it was a trap, a mixed configuration of light and dark fortresses, so that a large number of unprotected infantry were exposed to the guns of the Lu army, and then there was a rain of bullets.

However, this does not mean that the course of the battle is beneficial to the Lu army, and the personal quality and command quality of the Fuso soldiers also make the Lu army pay a heavy price. The Fusang soldiers knocked out the fortresses and fortifications of the Lu army one after another by gnawing bones by ants.

"The big guy is watching us, the big guy is watching us from the mountain!" A small fortress that was besieged by the Fuso army. Ladders climbed the wall from all directions, and soldier ants attached to them. The offensive and defensive sides exchanged greetings with their hands and bullets. The Lu army exhausted all its tactics and held its position. But the Fuso army was overwhelming, and it was only a matter of time before this small fortress was lost.

The platoon commander of the defenders was shot, hastily bandaged his wounds, brandished his saber, and put up a final resistance. Everyone knows that most of their platoon can't go back. But as the platoon commander shouted these words, the defenders burst out with amazing courage.

The remaining soldiers, shouting that they could not disgrace the commander, stuck to their positions. The seriously wounded deputy platoon commander and several wounded men retreated into a small ammunition depot and moved several barrels of gunpowder to one place. A wounded soldier was suffocating the medicine line with his hands and feet, and the deputy platoon commander looked at his bloodstained companion

"Brothers, it's time to hit the road, are you afraid?"

"Say what! Since the day my brother became a swordsman, he never thought about a good death. It's enough to live a good life for so long. You can't embarrass the handsome, you'd rather die than be a prisoner! Let's start the fire! ”

Situations like this fortress abound, and both warring sides are fighting in horror. Although the Fusang soldiers had a headache, the battle of the Lu army had been tenacious, but Yang Yuzhu's face was also as gloomy as a puddle of water, and his eyes were as cold as ice, staring directly at Yang Biao

"Jiuwa, what are you studying at the military academy? Let the Oriental devils press us to fight, our soldiers are no less than him, but let him cut our position into pieces, and he can't echo. That's what you learned in a military school? You still say you're a talented student? Lose face! After the war, go back to the military academy and continue to learn from me, and fight like this again in the future, not to mention my brother. ”

Yang Jiuwa was sweating on her forehead, holding her military hat in her hand as a fan to fan the wind, her reprimanded face turned red and white, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"Assemble! I took people up to be a mobile team, but I didn't believe it, how could our division be beaten on the head by the Orientals. How are we inferior to others? ”

But before he could move, Zhao Guanhou had already discovered that the situation was not good. The command level of the Fusang officers and the ability of the troops to coordinate operations are not comparable to those of the Shaanxi army. It was obviously a reorganized division, but it was pressed and beaten by the attacking troops, and in the local area, it was beaten by the Fusang people with more and less, and his reserve could only be used in advance.

"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming." In a shout of excitement, the five-color battle flag fluttered from far and near, and the reinforcement vanguard had already begun to fight with the attacking army of Fuso. Yang Biao rubbed his eyes, and was taken aback in his heart. "Thirty-seventh Division? Why did you guys come up? ”

The 37th Division was formerly known as the Second Mixed Brigade of the Communist Association, and further traced upwards, it was the Second Mixed Brigade organized and trained in the Beiyang Training Plan.

Shang Quan went from brigade commander to division commander, and the soldiers of the army were all recruited from Shandong, and they were the children of the real sense. Weapons supply and troop training were all equipped with reference to the Fifth Division, and a large number of officers who returned home from Yankee were assigned to the 37th Division as grassroots cadres. The troops are well-trained and well-equipped, and are known as one of the two trump cards in Shandong.

Yang Biao, who studied military affairs in the martial arts hall in Shandong for two years, was not the stunned young man at the beginning, and stomped his feet anxiously: "We can still hold it here, I said, if this position can't be held for ten days, I will raise my head to see it." Elite infantry cannot be sent into this war of attrition. ”

Shang Quan laughed and said, "Brigade Commander Yang, you will see what you say. Everyone is a soldier in Shandong, which is elite or not. It's all a life, and no one is born to die. I believe that you can hold on for ten days, but Shandong is where our hometown is, and we must work hard, and our soldiers will not be left behind others. Watching outsiders die to protect our hometown, that's not something that Shandong gentlemen can do. In this battle, our 37th Division cannot sit idly by. Besides, the marshal has orders, and being beaten passively is not the style of Lu Jun, and they should be shown something powerful. ”

What Shang Quan brought was an infantry regiment under the jurisdiction of the 37th Division, and as soon as the troops entered the position, they immediately made the attackers feel the pressure. The Fuso Army was exhausted after a day of fierce fighting, and the equipment and shooting level of the 37th Division were far superior to those of the Shaanxi Army, and the command level of the officers was not inferior to that of the first-class officers in the West in this era.

With their joining, the tide of the battle began to reverse, and the attacking army was divided and surrounded by the Lu army, and the commander of Fusang also sounded the retreating army horn at the right time.

Kamio Kozo didn't show frustration because of the frustration of the attack, but became more excited. With the appearance of the 37th Division, he can be fully sure that he has seized the main force of the Lu Army, the 5th Division, the 37th Division, and the two trump cards of the Lu Army, all appeared in Weifang. In Qingdao, it is only a local unit of the Lu army, which is not a problem. Next, it is time for the elite of the Fuso army to appear on the stage and wipe out the remaining republican essence.

It is for this reason that the next actions must be taken with caution. The two trump cards of the Lu army are all there, and it is impossible to solve the battle quickly. If you move forward rashly, you will only lose all your capital.

The three divisions all decided to slow down the pace of the offensive, the situation on the battlefield gradually became relaxed, and the Fuso army improved the offensive into defense and stabilized the existing front. The well-trained snipers were quietly sent to the front line, ready to shoot and kill the commander of the Lu army, but the current situation on the battlefield was chaotic, and there was no chance to attack for a while.

The battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke makes people ignore the time, and it is always gray and dusty, and no one notices that the sun has set. When each other found out that their eyesight was seriously lacking, the battlefield finally returned to peace.

Fuso sent envoys holding high banners to negotiate, demanding a temporary truce between the two sides, and unarmed soldiers coming forward to claim the bodies and look for their wounded soldiers. On the battlefield, the dead bodies of the two armies overlapped, and many seriously wounded were left on the battlefield, and there was no time to contain them.

The main battle losses in this era did not come from battlefield deaths, but from the gains made in pursuit battles, as well as concurrent diseases such as wound infections after being wounded. Spring is prone to plagues, and a large number of dead bodies are piled on the battlefield, which is itself a factor of instability. For accommodating the wounded and burying the dead, Zhao Guanhou naturally supported it. With an order, the troops in the battle temporarily ceased fire, and the Fusang soldiers took out the rice balls again, and swallowed them viciously with the smell of meat wafting from the wind.

Each of the two armies sent an unarmed unit, carrying body bags and stretchers, to contain the bodies of their fallen generals and look for the robes that had not died.

When the gunfire stopped, the groans and cries became clear. This kind of voice is indistinguishable from nationality, and it is difficult to judge which side of the voice is made. The containment team could only hold the gas lamp and search for the corpses.

Most of the lightly injured have been sent to the hospital, and most of the wounded who are mixed in the pile of corpses are seriously injured, and even if they are snatched back, it is difficult to save them. However, the Lu army has internal regulations, as long as the wounded have a breath, they must try their best to save them, and human life comes first, regardless of the cost. The search team of the Yilu army still carefully moved the wounded to the stretcher and fed the wounded a few mouthfuls of water with the water bottle they carried.

"Brother, hold on, there is salvation...... There must be salvation. ”

"I'm not going to be...... Brother, avenge me...... There are no two Oriental devils...... Life. Kill them! ”

Compared with the Lu army, the Fuso army handled the wounded more sloppily. This does not blame the containment personnel, but the objective conditions do not allow it. Fuso's wounded, who lacked rear hospitals and even less medical personnel, died in some shelter or field hospital even if they left the battlefield. What's more, now the manpower of the Fuso army is tight, and a seriously wounded person has to occupy several medical personnel, which is too luxurious for the Fuso soldiers.

Yes, when out of the pile of dead people, a wounded soldier who had been blown up by a cannonball, still holding his rifle, was turned out. Instead of putting the person on a stretcher, the person in charge took off the bayonet from his rifle and bowed his head, saying, "Please bear with me, be loyal to the Imperial Kingdom, and continue to serve the Emperor as a loyal soul for the protection of the country." The interests of the empire are above all else, and for the prosperity and strength of the country, everyone should have the consciousness of sacrifice! ”

Where the hand starts, stab it down! (To be continued.) )
