As a mid-level officer in the Japanese army, Tanaka Nobusawa knew that the Qing army his army was facing not only his expected opponent, the Chu army, but also the Qin army, which had just defeated the French in Vietnam. Although Tanaka Nobusawa has not captured a single prisoner so far, he is sure that the Qing army he encountered in the second attack was the Chu army at the beginning, and now it must be the Qin army.

It's not that he's putting gold on his face. Most of the squadron's strength could not beat the people on the other side, even if they were facing the British lobster soldiers, Tanaka Shinzawa had no honor at all. This is just a fact of Chen Su.

In addition to pistols and grenades, the mortars used by the Qin army did not put much pressure on the Japanese army. There are also quite a few such backward artillery pieces in Japan. And all are small-caliber, and the lethality of shells is limited.

The heavy artillery on the west side of Guishan Mountain is still spewing flames, and a single shell can beat the mountain into a rocky mess, and thick smoke is billowing out WWW.UUXS.CC. And on the eastern front, in the face of the desperate assault of the Japanese army, the Qin-Chu coalition army continued to retreat vigorously, but every time they retreated, they would inflict a lot of casualties on the Japanese army.

The battle lasted less than four hours, and Tanaka's squadron had already lost nearly half of its casualties and completely lost its assault capability. Nobusawa Tanaka had to order the troops to stop the offensive. He asked his soldiers to relay information to the rear, and his troops suffered heavy casualties in the hope of suspending the attack.

Signal troops were dispatched, but Tanaka Shinzawa did not let his subordinates defend on the spot. The lessons of the second offensive and the seizure of the first line of positions are still close in sight and firmly imprinted in my mind. He ordered his men to move north, and found a place where there were no signs of battle and stopped to rest. After observing the enemy situation very responsibly, he sat down behind a stone exhausted.

The battle situation in front of him not only did not make Tanaka Nobusawa feel desperate, but the combat ability and tactics of the Qin army aroused his impulse to attack. Because the war was not only about the fate of the Imperial Kingdom, but also had a great impact on the fate of Tanaka Nobuzawa's own family.

He came from a samurai family, and his father and uncle died in the Shogunate War, but he also had two uncles. In the years after the War, the two uncles added five men to the Tanaka family, which means that in his generation, there were as many as eleven men in the Tanaka family. If all these people grow up smoothly, what will the Tanaka family become, which has lost the status of the samurai clan?

Selling coolies? Work?

The army and the soldiers are the destination of the samurai!

Therefore, this expedition to Taiwan, without the need for the commander to deliberately emphasize the importance and significance of attacking Taiwan to the samurai and the imperial state, Tanaka Nobuzawa already has unprecedented enthusiasm and a strong will to fight. However, war is war after all, and Japan still has enough fear of China.

In recent years, Liu Xian has won successive victories against Russia and France, giving the Manchus a tiger skin that is enough to deterre! Therefore, the pressure on the Japanese army attacking Taiwan was very great.

Now, the battle is on. The fighting at sea is not mentioned, but only the battle on land. The combat effectiveness of the Qing army was definitely not weak, and the fierceness of the battle was not low at all. Even the Chu army, which is inferior in combat effectiveness, has enough tenacious will and blood.

For example, the Chu army that was defeated by him. The reason for the retreat is more due to the arrangement of the generals of the Qing army, right? After all, when I attacked for the first time, I hit my head and broke my blood.

The Qing army was always retreating, constantly weakening its own forces and sucking its own blood in the retreat, which was a combat strategy. Rather than a true reflection of combat effectiveness -

The greatest proof of this is that the enemy hits and runs, although it is as slippery as a loach in a paddy field. But the enemy never left the battle, not even the battle line......

Nobusawa Tanaka was considering this tactic, and the combination of Qin Jun's grenades and pistols made his men bleed. Can this method of combat be cracked, or can it be used by yourself?

The gunfire gradually calmed down, and the eastern sky was already white. Tanaka Nobusawa's heart fluttered, and a very bad feeling suddenly came over him.

"Retreat—"

He couldn't tell where that feeling came from. Is it your own troops rushing too forward? Or something else? But after weighing it, he chose to honor this feeling and commanded the troops to retreat to the rear.

Sakuma Zomatjew also agreed to the retreat of Tanaka's squadron, and half of its troops had already lost, not to say that they had lost their combat effectiveness, but only to say that they had fought all night, and so far, their combat effectiveness has only been ten or two.

Tanaka's squadron did not retreat quickly, and on the way, Tanaka Nobusawa also encountered several friendly forces that retreated, all of which had suffered heavy casualties in the attack.

This feeling temporarily saved the lives of Tanaka Shinzawa and half of his men.

When the sky turned white and the night turned pale blue, the entire battlefield suddenly shook the sky, and a large number of Qing troops, more than all the Japanese troops, began to attack quickly under heavy artillery fire. As soon as Tanaka's squadron retreated to the last small dirt bag, Tanaka Shinzawa quickly boarded the dirt bag and saw a large group of Erqing troops crashing over like a wave. Of course, this form of charge battle did not leave Tanaka Nobusawa dumbfounded, and he also experienced larger-scale battles in the Fall War. To his astonishment, the five armies dressed in green uniforms, with hats tied with grass and twigs on their heads, and cloaks made of grass.

These five armies were very close to the Japanese front, and the corresponding Japanese troops failed to find these people? Tanaka Nobusawa looked at the uniforms and outfits of these soldiers, and felt that he had learned another trick.

These soldiers charged fiercely, and almost as soon as the sound of the artillery was over, they rushed into the Japanese line in the smoke of gunpowder. Naturally, the Japanese garrison in front of him was scattered.

"Defend, defend on the spot!" Tanaka Nobusawa's face changed drastically. Instead of leading the troops back and forth, he paused on the spot.

Tanaka Nobusawa was closely observing the opponent's offensive situation, and he felt that the Qing army's current battle formation would be very uncomfortable to defend against. Because the Qing army did not adopt a dense array of wave attacks, if it was a wave attack, the Japanese army could effectively stop and kill the enemy with neat shooting. At least the current Japanese army is such a well-organized wave offensive force, and it is experienced in defense.

But what about the Qing army on the other side? Their attacks looked like they were all over the mountains and everywhere, and the whole thing was like undisciplined stragglers. However, it makes it difficult for the rifle to find its own optimal target. On the battlefield, everyone knows that if you can destroy an enemy with a single bullet, you can be invincible. However, what is most lacking on the battlefield is precisely this kind of 'one bullet to destroy an enemy' shooting ability.

Free scattering will make the hit rate drop rapidly, and concentrated shooting can certainly improve efficiency, but the Qing army on the opposite side is currently in a duck-like formation, and the shooting efficiency is even lower......

It was the Qing army, they were shot alone, and it had no effect on the attack of the soldiers behind. Moreover, the appearance of the wounded was amazing, as long as they did not lose their combat effectiveness, the wounded actually stopped to shoot at the Japanese army. The Qing soldiers, who were not injured, continued to rush forward bravely and fearlessly. It's like rushing like chasing ducks, and the formation is also loose like chasing ducks. But there were always two or three men who would stop in the middle of the attack and take advantage of the favorable terrain to shoot at the Japanese army. It was either a mound of earth or a stake......

The fire was not fierce enough, but there were a lot of firing points. The accumulation of small amounts made the Japanese army exhausted.

The Qing army, which was attacking quickly, was not without losses, at least the troops that rushed to twenty or thirty meters away from the Japanese defense line were quite sparse. At this time, the Qing soldiers who rushed to the front would pause slightly, but not out of fear, but to draw their grenades and throw them at the Japanese position. In the midst of the roaring explosions, the Japanese troops in front of them immediately suffered unprecedented losses. And when some officers can no longer endure such continuous blows, 'charge with bayonets'! It became their only choice. However, under the tall soldiers of the Qing army, it was often the Japanese army who were defeated and scattered with bayonets.

The retreat of the Qing army at night was for the sake of today's attack! This is to lure the snake out of the hole!
