This was an attack launched by tens of thousands of troops, and it was a major counteroffensive launched by the Japanese army on all fronts.

The Qin army's position, which was more than four miles long, had Japanese soldiers appear on the opposite side at every point. Especially in the central position of the Qin army's front, the support point of the Qin army's defense line, the two towns of Tokyo and Sendai each prepared a complete elite wing, combined forces, with a small 5,000 troops, close to half of the strength of this counteroffensive force, and rushed straight towards the core of the Qin army's defense.

At the Japanese army's forward command post, Yama County Youpeng held a telescope and looked at the scene opposite. I saw with my own eyes that the super-dense crowd of attackers was hit by artillery fire and rifle fire, and a large number of people died. The number is too large to estimate. However, there were more people who were murderously approaching the Qin army's battle line.

Although the Qin defenders were firing desperately, they could not stop the gradual approach of the Japanese army.

Twenty minutes after the battle began, Shan County put down his binoculars and said in a low voice, "Breakthrough." "After paying a huge price in casualties, the Japanese finally broke through.

Nozu Michikan also put down the binoculars, his eyes were full of regret and hatred: "Shan County Jun, this time my imperial kingdom has suffered heavy casualties......"

"But it's worth it!" Yama Prefecture Youpeng looked at Nozu Michikan with his eyes, "This is for the benefit of my Great Japanese Imperial State, and for the national fortune of my Great Japanese Imperial State." We cannot accept the blackmail of the Qing State. For this, it is worth sacrificing more soldiers! ”

The Emperor's reputation must not be dishonored, and Japan's dignity must not be trampled underground. This has a bearing on the morale of the people of Japan as a whole and on the self-confidence of the Japanese nation.

Japan can afford to lose, but it cannot afford to collapse its national self-confidence.

The official position of the secretary of the army is at the height of the county of Shanxi, and the consideration of the problem has long been not only from the aspect of military interests and losses. His eyes are looking at the whole picture!

As long as the Japanese army can defeat the Qin army and defeat the strongest legion of the Qing government, what army can stop the advance of the Japanese imperial army?

How much will this help to boost the morale of the people? How much will this help to unite the conviction of the whole country? This is the fortune of the country!

As long as this time can defeat the Qin army. Tomorrow, if you have friends in Shanxian County, you will be able to smile but admit defeat, and you only need to announce to the people in the country that the enemy is outnumbered, the military is insufficient, the national strength is insufficient, and it cannot support the long-term war of resistance.

Chen Bo was organizing the troops to retreat. The Japanese army has already rushed up, and if they don't retreat, they will have to fight with bayonets. Although the Qin army is very good at fighting bayonets, no matter how advantageous it is, it is impossible to fight eight or nine times, or even more enemies.

The distance between the second line of defense and the front line of defense was three or four hundred meters, and in order to disguise the defeat more likely, ten mortars were pulled down from the first line of positions alone.

The empty field in front of the two positions was a smooth road, and the only potholes were also craters blown up by Japanese artillery. Thirty or fifty meters away from the second front of the Qin army, there was also a barbed wire.

Coarse wooden stakes are wedged in the ground, and layers of thick wires are pulled on them! There were spikes hanging from the wire, and the hand grasping it was like grasping a hedgehog and it was full of blood. These Japanese soldiers who rushed up panting naturally avoided these barbed wires, and they either intuitively avoided them after seeing them, or chased after the defeated troops of the Qin army, so they avoided them. Invisibly, the black oppressive tide has become a more surging torrent of more than a dozen people.

The Qin army's rifle kept firing all the time, causing blood to splash in the pile, and the screams were grounded.

Some Japanese officers gave loud orders and organized rifle fire to stifle the opponent's rifle fire. Some officers went crazy and slashed the barbed wire with their sabers. Although a lot of wire was cut in the spark splash, the density of the barbed wire was too great to be cut in a while.

The more and more Japanese soldiers gathered, the bullets flew by, and there was no time to miss, and all kinds of shouts and voices were mixed together, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami. And the people behind are still pouring up!

Chen Bo stood in front of Liu Xian, looking at the surging Japanese soldiers not far away, his eyes were like looking at a dead man.

Liu Xian put down the binoculars in his hand, and the opportunities of the Japanese counterattack troops had already crossed the first line of defense, and he waved his hand fiercely: "Shoot!" ”

Forty heavy machine guns, forty tongues of fire, fired and spat out from various fire points of the second line of defense almost simultaneously! Dense gunfire rang out, bullet casings flew up. Forty chains of fire, like the scythe of death, swept through the dead and wounded. The queue of the Japanese army is now dense and cannot be more dense, and naturally the dead and wounded can no longer be strict!

The blood mist was no longer splashing in clusters, but was gushing in clusters, like fountains. Looking out from Liu Xian's position, with the swing of tongues of fire on the battlefield, I saw that in front of the barbed wire, those people in black military uniforms fell in rows like harvesting wheat, and their eyes were full of blood mist or blood mist. Fragments of human bodies torn apart by the powerful bullets of the heavy machine guns flew in all directions, and flesh alleys were ploughed out by force.

Liu Xian: They also saw this scene in the telescope.

Forty heavy machine guns strafing from the front, this kind of fire density, no number of lives to fill it! The pitiful firepower of the single-shot breech guns on the opposite side was overwhelmed in a blink of an eye, and the corpses were stacked layer upon layer, and the Japanese officers and soldiers were simply slaughtered without concealment. I don't know how many of them have been beaten into a mess of rotten flesh and stumps!

From south to north, there are more than a dozen passages, large and small, covered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers who died in various postures. The attacking Japanese soldiers cried and shouted for their mothers to retreat, but blamed them for piling too close at first, and before the crowd could loosen, they were overturned by the dense fire plow......

……

On the sea, the night has gradually fallen, and more than a dozen ships of various kinds are still plowing white waves on the sea. The fleet included new freighters and old paddle steamers. On their periphery, several warships are patrolling around the fleet.

More than a dozen smoke plummeted into the sky, and the sunset came from the west, reflecting on the sea, sparkling and jagged.

On every ship in the fleet, the Hinomaru flag is flying. This is apparently the Japanese fleet all along.

The current Sea of Japan is not the world of the Japanese Navy, and the Qin-Chu Combined Fleet is a giant that cannot be provoked by Japan's return of troops. Even if you send troops to reinforce Tokyo, you have to be cautious. lest he hit the escort warship of the Harbour Master and Sailor in the middle of the road.

On the warship Longxiang, Takeshi Enomoto held on to the railing with his hands, and his gaze was very blank when he looked into the distance.

The enemy has already reached the Gulf of Tonkin, and it is a great shame that our own navy does not dare to respond to the battle, and even has to be careful in transporting troops!

One of the transport ships, the Saikyo Maru, Osaka Zhentai Deputy Chief of Staff Kodama Gentaro, looked at the sunset in the western sky and fell into the ocean for a long time. On another transport ship, the Chizuru, Masaaki Taneda, chief of staff of Kumamoto Jindai, was immersed in meditation as he looked at the topographic map of Tokyo Bay......

There is also the captain of the 12th Wing of the Hiroshima Zhentai Infantry on the Storm Snow Kuroki Masahara......

[The previous information is incorrect, in 1873 the Japanese Army had been expanded from four towns to six towns. 】

These are all famous figures in the Japanese Army in the history of the original time and space. Now they are all concentrated in one fleet, a Japanese fleet bound for Suruga Bay. The poor Japanese, obviously going to reinforce Tokyo, didn't even dare to enter Sagami Bay [Tokyo Bay is near]. Only dare to transport people to Suruga Bay, which is across the Izu Peninsula. It's no wonder that one Japanese elite after another is saddened, or immersed in the study of how to solve it.

……

Japanese Navy, aboard the Yunyang.

Sheng Haizhou was taking a leisurely walk on the aft veranda, doing a few stretching and relaxation exercises from time to time. The counterattack of the Imperial Kingdom of Japan has finally arrived, and the Qing people must be panicking, right? I wonder if their fleet will also be busy and make mistakes?

If he could, before he withdrew from the military world, he really wanted to lead the fleet to teach the Qing people a good lesson.

There are still more than ten miles away, but Sheng Haizhou can clearly hear the sound of artillery coming from the land battlefield.

"Your Excellency!" Striding up to Katsu Haizhou, the adjutant reported in a low and respectful voice: "Your Excellency, there is news from Tokyo, R1152
