Forty-two mountain artillery field guns and dozens of other infantry guns and rapid-fire guns were all installed, and the firing Zhuyuan was also adjusted in place, and Jitaro Nakayama was about to give the order to open fire, when suddenly, a muffled sound was heard, followed by a rumbling, and the ground sank.

In an instant, a long crater was revealed on the originally flat ground, and all the cannons and six or seven hundred gunners, deputy gunners, and ammunition men all fell into it.

What's going on? Jitaro Nakayama was a little confused.

At that moment, the cannon rang out, but it was they who blew up.

I was tortured enough before, and now in the face of this situation, no matter how elite the devil is, I have to be confused.

Amid the rumbling cannons, outside the mountain pass, groups of cavalry swept in like a mad rush.

The cavalry rushed into the valley and automatically divided into five units, and they swept through the valley in an instant like five huge scythes that demanded their lives.

The speed of cavalry is divided into five types: normal step, speed step, running, fast running and assault step, and the speed is 100 meters, 220 meters, 320 meters, and 420 meters a minute, respectively, and the assault foot is faster.

At this moment, these assault cavalry were all attacking on foot, galloping at full speed, more than five hundred meters a minute.

The cavalry at full speed faced the unorganized infantry, and the result was two words: slaughter.

The sword light reflected the cold, the head rolled down, and the one who killed was called a pleasure!

――――――― Yang Merlin is the best sniper of the Black God Army, and at this time, he led a sniper team of eight snipers, half-squatting in the fortifications halfway up the mountain.

Yang Molin and this sniper team have only one task: to protect the military flag and prevent the little devils from destroying the military flag.

Yang Molin didn't know what such an eyesore was going to do, but an order was an order.

When the Black God Iron Cavalry entered the valley, Yang Molin and the eight members of the team opened fire, first shooting all the devil's flag team in an instant.

Shooting all the devil's flag protection team, Yang Molin was surprised for a moment, and then his mood became unwavering again.

Yang Molin was surprised because he found that the devils who had an accident with the flag protection team seemed to be crazy, and these devils didn't care about any danger or not, they just wanted to destroy the military flag if they were crazy.

Fortunately, it's too messy.

When a cavalryman picked up the military flag with a war knife and galloped away, Yang Molin's heart relaxed.

Mission accomplished.

――――― observation post, Ji Hongchang's whole body was exerting his strength, he couldn't wait to leap his horse and raise his sword, and go to kill in person, but no, there were two big men behind him.

These two big men are both masters, and they were personally arranged by Han Lihong, and they have only one task, once Ji Hongchang, the commander-in-chief, wants to go out and charge into battle, he will take it immediately.

"Good!" When he saw that the military flag was snatched up, Ji Hongchang couldn't help but shout.

This shout startled the people next to him.

Each cavalryman had only a chance of enjoying himself for a maximum of three or two minutes, and in ten minutes, the slaughter was over.

When the battle was over, the two thousand iron horsemen who poured into the valley did not stop for a moment, and quickly left.

At the same time, twenty or thirty holes were cracked around the valley, and a large number of infantry poured out, some of them carrying bags of dirt on their shoulders.

This group of soldiers was no less than two or three thousand.

As soon as these soldiers poured out, more than 1,000 people at the front, all with rifles with bayonets in their hands, began to clear the battlefield. Whoever has a complete body and no weapon in his hand will go up with a bayonet, and whoever has a weapon in his hand will raise his hand with a shot.

The soldiers who followed behind were bare-handed, and they worked in pairs, one grabbing the hair, the other lifting the legs, lifting the dead body and throwing it into the long pit.

After a while, it was almost gone, and the soldiers who were carrying the bags of soil poured the soil in the bags on the layers of dead corpses of the soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, the big pit was gone.

During this time, the gunfire kept ringing, the shells were also exploding, and the valley was always filled with gunsmoke.

When the reconnaissance planes of the Yue army flew over the valley, the Yue army in the valley was being besieged from all directions, from the front, the front, the left and the right.

―――――― communication with the Nakayama Wing was cut off, Umezu Mijiro's heart immediately sank.

Each wing of the task force regiment has a communications squadron with eight radio stations and six telephone squads.

In peacetime, the radio station is kept by the communications squadron, and in wartime, the three infantry brigades and one artillery squadron are each equipped with a radio and a telephone squad.

Now, all the communications are cut off, so there is only one possibility, it can only be that the Black God Army deliberately wants to cut off the connection between the Zhongshan Wing and the division headquarters.

With the ability of the Black God Army, in that environment, it is not difficult to do this, and it is completely fine to bomb mines and add a few snipers.

Obviously, if the Black God Army wants to completely annihilate the Zhongshan Wing, it is necessary to let the Zhongshan Wing enter the battle area they have set, and for the sake of insurance, the safest way is to cut off the communication link between the Zhongshan Wing and the headquarters.

Reconnaissance planes and bombers have already been sent, but, is it still too late?

On the table in the center of the armored command vehicle, there is a map of the Jiming Mountain Pass. Obviously, the Black God Army wants to encircle and annihilate the Zhongshan United, and the valley inside the Black Wind Mouth is the most suitable battlefield.

Tsuchihara, who was sitting across from Umezu Mijiro, frowned.

They had been talking for a while, and Tu Feiyuan said: "Your Excellency, the Black God Army wants to introduce the Zhongshan Wing into their combat area, but why should it delay the Zhongshan Wing's marching speed?" ”

On the side, Takashi Sakai said: "This is naturally the living force of the Shina people to destroy the Zhongshan United. ”

Umezu Mijiro and Doihara glanced at each other, and what Takashi Sakai said was naturally a reason, but they always felt that something was wrong in their hearts.

At this time, the command vehicle stopped, and the staff officer sent in the telegram he had just received.

After reading the message, Umezu Mijiro handed the message to Tsuchihara, who read it and gave it to Takashi Sakai.

Tu Feiyuan said: "Your Excellency, Commander, it's not too bad. ”

Not only does the Black God Army not have heavy artillery, there are very few ordinary infantry guns and mortars, and even if there are, they are second-class goods copied by the people themselves.

Of the materials purchased from Germany and the United States, most of them were various raw materials and equipment, and the quantities of weapons were not large, especially heavy weapons.

Among this batch of weapons, only 88-mm anti-aircraft guns are considered heavy weapons, and the others are some anti-aircraft guns and heavy mortars.

It is extremely difficult to train a qualified gunner, and it is impossible to make this batch of weapons work immediately under the conditions of the Black God Army, so they will choose to launch an attack after this batch of supplies arrives.

Of the weapons, only the 200 Maxim heavy machine guns and 400 Czech light machine guns posed some threat, but in the face of the Empire's firepower, Umezu Mijiro did not take these to heart.

There must be no delay, the Black God Army can't deal with it with common sense, if they let those anti-defense guns and mortars play a role, the Zhongshan Wing will really be finished.

Nodding, Umezu Mijiro ordered: "Order the transport plane to airdrop ammunition and supplies to the Zhongshan Wing, and order the Ono Wing and Sato Wing to go to Yaozikou." ”

Ono United and Sato United were the last two wings to stay in Hiratsu.

With Umezu Mijiro's order, almost all of the troops stationed in North China were engaged in battle, numbering as much as 45,000 men.

This battle is not easy to fight, and both Umezu Mijiro and Dohihara are mentally prepared for this, but the current one is not easy to fight, and it has a completely different meaning from the bad fight one or two hours ago.

The previous bad fight was more about worrying that the Black God Army would run, so that it would not be able to completely destroy the Black God Army, but now, at this moment, the meaning of not being good to fight means that it is really hard to fight.

With the change in the meaning of "not easy to fight", the pressure on the empire of the Black God Iron Knight has also increased sharply.

Cavalry duels, the Empire does not have the upper hand.

The newly formed cavalry division has a total of 3,000 cavalry, which is almost one-third of the strength of the imperial cavalry, but in the face of more than 10,000 cavalry of the Black God Army, the difference in numbers is too great.

Moreover, this is in the territory of the Black God Army, and the Black God Army is as cunning as a fox, and can use any indiscriminate tricks to sneak attack and ambush, so the cavalry of the Black God Army has become a hungry wolf hidden in the shadows, and they may run out and bite them at any time.

For this reason, Umezu Mijiro faced the same dilemma as Xu Tingyao at the beginning: he did not dare to divide his troops.

If you don't dare to divide your troops, you can't attack everywhere, burn, kill and loot in the Black God Special Zone, and take the initiative strategically.

Now, the pressure brought by the Black God Iron Cavalry is even greater, and even when attacking, it is necessary to set aside enough troops to guard against the Black God Iron Cavalry surprise attack.

Fighting, fighting is momentum, but obviously, in terms of momentum, now the Black God Army has the upper hand, and it is an absolute upper hand.

The command vehicle stopped, and the front line arrived.

Holding a high-powered military binocular, Umezu Mijiro observed the position of the Black God Army.

The position of the Black God Army has four inner and outer trenches, the outermost outer trench is 500 meters away from the first inner trench, and the distance between the first, second, and third inner trenches is 400 meters.

This distance is exquisite.

In positional warfare, the grenadier is extremely powerful, but the outer trench is 500 meters away from the first inner trench, so that the grenadier cannot really play a role outside the outer trench.

The effective firing range of the heavy machine gun is 1,000 meters, and the distance between the three inner trenches is 400 meters, which can maximize the power of the heavy machine gun.

To be honest, on this kind of great plain, not to mention four trenches, even forty, Umezu Mijiro will not take it in his eyes at all.

Like this kind of defense line, as long as one part is broken, the whole line will collapse, but these ideas can't be applied to the Black God Army in front of him, and the Black God Army is completely different from the people in his impression.

For some reason, perhaps because of the instinctive feeling of a battle-hardened general, Umezu Mijiro had a hunch that even if there was nothing left, the two sides would fight face to face, and this battle would be extremely tragic.

It's too overlooked.

In this battle, he made two major mistakes.

First, you shouldn't covet that little material, you should start it.

Second, a heavy artillery brigade should be brought over.

The mountain artillery and field artillery of the artillery wing had little effect in destroying the bunker fortifications, especially the fortifications carefully built by the Black God Army.

Airplane bombing is useful and useful, but firstly, there are not so many shells in reserve, and secondly, they cannot afford to use them, and they are too expensive.

In the distance, the cannonfire in the Black Wind Mouth Valley had stopped.
