The four 70mm mountain guns were finally pushed to the front, and before they opened the stance, they were destroyed by Huang Lebo with three 82mm mortars in one fell swoop. From start to finish, it didn't work at all.

The Japanese soldiers, who were crushed to the ground by the dense bullets and could not advance, were frightened when they heard the violent explosions coming from the rear. They had basically never seen the power of high-explosive smokeless artillery shells, and they saw that the artillery that they relied on as a huge support force flew high like toys, the gun carriage was torn apart, and the artillery was scattered.

Huang Lebo saw clearly with a telescope and laughed: "The little devil just remembers to eat or fight." How many times, still pile the shells on the side, this problem can't be changed, you just wait for bad luck! ”

He deliberately waited until the Japanese had set up the artillery and the ammunition was piled up before giving the order to open fire.

With the accuracy of the mortar, the continuous shells caused piles of ammunition, and the terrible explosion of the guide zhì wiped out the four mountain guns and the surrounding artillery, leaving even a little scum.

Xu Bangdao's old eyes lit up, and when he saw the small mushroom cloud rising when the ammunition pile exploded, he slapped his thigh excitedly: "Okay!" Wow! That's how it works. Damn Oriental Japanese slaves, this time it's down-to-earth! ”

He finally understood how sharp Yang Jiajun's weapons were. In less than an hour, the results achieved exceeded the total number of Qing troops since Pyongyang. The corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield in front are all over the field, and if this is reported to the imperial court, it will be a great merit.

He was sure that the middle and right sides that were in charge of guarding should be able to hold on. I just don't know the left wing of Zhou Dingxin's handle. In the absence of support. Can it withstand it.

Yasutaro Takenaka was knocked out by the explosion. It took a long time to come to his senses and hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat. Because he was horrified to find that at a distance of dozens of meters from the forward position, his own troops were simply in hell!

The bullets that the Qing army couldn't hit accurately before were now being manipulated by another group of people, which can be called fatal! As long as you dare to jump up and rush up, you will be knocked over by a swarm of bullets when you land, and you won't even have a chance to bubble up. And so it goes. The two squadrons quickly had to be wiped out.

Seeing the panic of the Japanese army fleeing in panic, and people were killed by accurate rifle and machine gun fire from time to time along the way, the recruits of the Qing army were all happy and cheered.

Huang Lebo couldn't bear the chaos caused by their indiscriminate guns, so he personally asked Xu Bangdao: "Can you make the brothers in your department a little more stable?" That's not how the battle was fought, they wasted too much ammunition and couldn't kill a few enemies, which was a pity. ”

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.

Xu Bangdao didn't have the heart to bother with him and despise his son-in-law, so he not only simply agreed, but further proposed: "Since the brothers of the new army are so strong. Why don't you teach us on the spot? ”

Can Huang Lebo not agree? It's good to have one more soldier who is good at grasping the fighter. Again. Originally, Yang Hao also had instructions to help the Qing army on the front line learn how to fight positional warfare as much as possible. At the very least, they must be taught to aim and shoot while lying on their stomachs, and if they are further, they will be able to control and fire within 100 meters of the enemy's entry. The second is to pull the stragglers apart and pile them together.

Of course, the last one is not easy to do, because the establishment of the Huai army is strict and lacks middle and lower-level officers, a battalion is seven or eight hundred people, and there are only nine officers! Even when comparing the armies of the countries of this era, the number is not half that of theirs. And in Yang Hao's new army, there are forty-five officers of various officers in one battalion!

When the Huai army was fighting, the soldiers almost subconsciously crowded around the battalion officers. The only four sentry officers and the low-level officers did not have full command authority, their eyes were all looking up, and there were no decent trench fortifications, so you can imagine how chaotic the scene was.

Thanks to the fact that the battalion is full of veterans, most of them have done this kind of thing once or twice to fight with new recruits, and they can be called familiar with the road. But after all, the other party is not their own person, and they don't dare to break up the way they did before - the other party's basic elements are poor and cannot be compared.

Therefore, in the interval between the battles, each platoon and squad drew out the platoon deputy and squad deputy, took a few veterans into the position of the Qing army, and taught them to aim while lying on their stomachs in obstacles or foxholes.

With the demonstration effect just now, the soldiers who were originally a little scared became more courageous, but they did not have too much resistance, and they salivated with envy for the uniforms of the new officers and soldiers. They are not stupid, and they can see that the steel helmet on everyone's head is a good thing, and they can ensure that they will not be pierced by the bullets from the opposite side, at least it is equivalent to one more life!

But no matter how envious you are, don't expect people to even out a top. That's the treasure of Yang Jiajun's gatekeeper, unless you spend money to buy it, don't expect Yang Hao to give it away.

With Xu Bangdao's order and the aura of the eldest prince Li Jingfang, the Qing army camp officers and sentinels did not dare to come against the wind. Even if you want to kill a few more devils, earn a little war merit, die a few fewer of your own people, and learn more skills to kill the enemy on the battlefield and save your life, then you have to be modest, right?

Xu Bangdao ordered him to go back, not only the two positions of the Great Monk Mountain and Shimenzi, but also the remaining 700 people in Jinzhou City, and they also asked Liu Yong to help train the assault. A little more competence is a little bit more.

On this side, the defenders were in full swing training and renovating fortifications. The Japanese army on the opposite side was terrible, and the two battlefields encountered the same problem, and when they were covered and rushed hard, they were beaten by the new army that suddenly attacked, and each suffered more than 100 casualties, and the wolf bèi was defeated and retreated. Coupled with the bombed artillery squadron, the losses were so great that it was painful to tremble!

At more than five o'clock in the afternoon, the two battle reports converged at the brigade headquarters, and Major General Nogi Noshinori almost overturned the table on the spot when he saw it!

"The so-called New Army, is it really so terrifying? It's a joke that just one hour of fighting made us lose so many people! ”

The previous Qing army was in danger of defending it, which was already a headache. The command was not very sure of the victory, so it repeatedly increased its troops. At present, the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division is mixed into the 12th Brigade and the 2nd Brigade Regiment, and the two units that have suffered a heavy defeat are fighting side by side in the rear and on the right flank, just to ensure the success rate of this operation.

Damn it. Why can't they honestly stay in the lair? Suddenly, he ran so far to fight against the Imperial Army. Are they born to be enemies of the Empire? Or did Amaterasu deliberately test the will of his Japanese subjects and deliberately release a ghost god who stimulated their minds to strengthen their fighting spirit?

The Japanese, who have learned Chinese culture halfway, are very convinced that any great cause can only be achieved by defeating a powerful enemy and overcoming unprecedented difficulties. And those enemies and difficulties, like the demons who prevented the Buddha from attaining enlightenment, are indispensable and must be faced.

Could it be that Yang Hao is the demon who must defeat the great cause of the empire?

But. Nogi Noshinori is not a coward who admits defeat lightly, he is stubborn in his bones, and he is brave and fearless and indomitable. To put it mildly, it is a tendon, a rammed goods that hit the south wall and did not look back.

He can be regarded as the concentrated embodiment of the Japanese national spirit, and he is also the founder and pioneer of the Japanese army's style. Today, he encountered the most difficult choice in his life, and almost without thinking, he immediately decided to order the 1st and 2nd Brigades to intensify their attacks. Be sure to storm the position again before it gets dark!

It was also in about the same time that Yang Hao led the guard platoon and reconnaissance platoon. In addition, the soldiers of the second battalion and the first company, and the mixed force of the first artillery battalion, plus more than 1,000 Qing soldiers rushed to Jinzhou.

Set up the former enemy headquarters on the spot, and sent the second battalion and one company together with the first battalion of Qing soldiers to the left flank to reinforce Zhou Dingxin, and brought them twelve camp guns from the Dalian arsenal, plus a large amount of ammunition.

For his arrival, Lian Shun, who was sitting in the city, was taken aback at first, and then said with great joy: "I didn't expect to be able to get Commander Yang to personally lead the troops to help, I don't have to worry about Jinzhou!" ”

No matter what he thinks of Yang Hao, at least in the moment, both sides must work together to get through the difficulties first. Boss Yang has a net worth of tens of millions, and he dares to take the risk to come, so he rushes to this courage and courage, and even Shun has to say a word.

Yang Hao responded with a smile: "The military situation is like fire, as the commander of the first army, don't worry if you don't figure out the shape of the battlefield." Has the Lord of the Metropolitan Command arranged the evacuation of the city's residents? ”

When he sent Liu Yong to set off, he asked him to give a message to the two generals who commanded the army, and they must evacuate the civilians in Jinzhou and even the nearby ones, or at least hide in the mountains. Staying here, one war will inevitably be injured by mistake, and then it may become a victim of the Japanese army's bestial nature.

When Lian Shun heard this, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be a little displeased and asked, "Why, could it be that Commander Yang personally led the new army to come, and he couldn't hold Jinzhou?" ”

He is the capital of Jinzhou, and he can't hold the jurisdiction, and a crime of losing land can cut off his official road.

Yang Hao said solemnly: "Dutong and Xu Junmen only have three battalions of soldiers, Dalian has a total of 3,000 recruits, and our department only has 3,000 people, most of whom are also recruits. The Japanese army attacked 30,000 people, and the navy was eyeing it. Jinzhou was the choke point of the Arthur fortress, and the Japanese army had to capture this place if they wanted to win the war. At that time, as soon as the cannons of both sides were fired, tens of thousands of people were killed together, where do you think the civilians can be hidden? The tragedy that happened in Ludong, Lord Tutong won't have heard of it, right? ”

Lian Shun was silent. He knew, but remained skeptical. He didn't personally encounter the Japanese army, and he didn't believe it that much, so even if he learned about Liu Yong's message, he didn't take it too seriously.

Yang Hao also came here in person for this reason. In his bones, he can't trust the officials of the Qing court at all, don't look at how diligent and loving the people are on weekdays, and in his bones he treats the common people as grass and mustard.

Lian Shun began to consider the strictness of this requirement, Yang Hao was not just a person, there was also a nominal ruler Li Jingfang's eldest son. If he really forced Li Jingfang to come and say the words in front of him in person, he might not even have a good time in the future.

After hesitating for a moment, Lian Shun finally agreed to let the civilians evacuate overnight. At the same time, the Minzhuang and Gong Guards were summoned, and together with the Qing army that came with them, the other twenty-four camp guns and twelve 75mm mountain guns brought by Yang Hao were deployed as soon as possible.

With so many cannons pouring into the war zone, Xu Bangdao, who rushed back from the front, couldn't help but exclaim after seeing it: "Can so many cannons be used in the land of Jinzhou projectiles?" Even if there is a cannon, not so many people will fire it! ”

Yang Hao also felt helpless about this. Li Hongzhang patronized and spent money to provide big business for the Krupp Company, and now he has purchased no less than 2,000 artillery pieces of various types, and the amount involved is calculated in tens of millions of taels. But there are so many cannons, there are no qualified artillery at all, and they have all become ornaments.

At present, most of the so-called artillery of various armies were illiterate peasants before, and it is not easy for them to learn to aim their guns at the enemy, load and fire. As for aiming and striking and calculating the elements, it is the same as the Book of Heaven.

Dalian Jinzhou has a total of more than 120 artillery pieces, and if they can be used effectively, even if the number of infantry is insufficient, the Japanese army will have to pay a huge price if they want to attack it.

However, among the shells purchased by the Qing army before, almost all of them were medium- and large-caliber armor-piercing shells against sea and anti-ships, and there were almost no explosive grenades. Although there are grenades attached to the camp cannon, the power is also insufficient, but fortunately, the 70mm shells in this year are easy to manufacture, and Yang Hao's arsenal rushed to build a batch and shipped it with the ship.

As for the insufficient number of artillery? He brought hundreds of trainees from the old battalion here, and it was just right for Li Hongzhang to use Li Hongzhang's countless and unusable artillery ammunition to conduct an unlimited live-fire on-site training.

Yang Hao smiled coldly: "These cannons are not enough, I want to use at least a hundred cannons to turn Jinzhou into a city of cannons!" (To be continued......)
