The repeated attacks of small troops in the afternoon were to exhaust the nerves and strength of the soldiers on the eastern front of the Tama River, and at the same time to paralyze the minds of the main forces on the western front of the Tama River!

Because of the wave of small troop attacks, it is easy for the soldiers of the main force of the Western Front to realize that they are very safe, and the enemy will not be able to kill them in a short time......

And then, and then there was a night of fierce fighting in the night!

The well-prepared Qing army settled the positions on the eastern front within an hour, and then continued to attack the western front without the slightest pause. The western bridgehead of Heting Bridge fell first, and the loss of this defensive support point directly laid the heaviest weight for the failure of the Tama River defensive battle. This was followed by the Qing army's raids along the river......

A glimmer of morning glow had risen in the eastern sky, and a few remnant stars were still hanging on the blue-blue sky. It's five o'clock in the morning! Dashan Yan was on the front line of the battle, and less than 100 meters in front of him was the battlefield where the Chinese and Japanese armies were fighting. The night was passive, beaten everywhere, and he had no initiative at all, which consumed all of Dashanyan's energy, and also made him understand the biggest reason for the complete defeat of this battle.

The Japanese army was not good at fighting bayonets and hand-to-hand combat, and the lack of pistols and grenades was one of the reasons, and the second was that they were completely led by the enemy strategically. Until now, Dashanyan does not understand how Liu Xian discovered the weak points of the defense of the Western Front position.

After the Qin army defeated the Japanese army on the eastern front, it launched an attack on the Japanese army position on the western front in less than two hours, and the entire Japanese defense line was divided into three, and then it was divided into five in a shorter time, and the trenches in each area became a death alley, and the Japanese troops blocked at both ends could not stay in the trenches at all. He could only retreat backwards with insufficient strength, and then struck hard with the onslaught of the pursuing Qin army. The Japanese army was divided into more parts and more sections in the battle of retreat.

The area of Dashan Rock is the one with the largest number of Japanese troops. After all, Dashan Yan has a part of the reserve army and a garrison in his hands. The hours of fighting took away too much of the energy of the Japanese soldiers, and the constant defeat and retreat also made them demoralized, and there were less than 500 of the thousands of men left. If it weren't for Oyama Iwa and Prince Akihito Komatsumiya sitting behind, it would not have been impossible for these remnants to be defeated and scattered.

Because of the large number of troops at the beginning, and the command that clearly included the Japanese army, this part of them was the key target of the Qin army from beginning to end. Without a backbone, it would have been scattered a long time ago.

It can be said that in this night's battle, the role of Oyama Rock is not as great as that of Akihito Komatsumiya. Oyama Iwa is just a brigade commander in the end, and Akihito Komatsumiya is a prince. In times of crisis, they did not leave as soon as possible, but chose to live and die with the troops, which gave the Japanese soldiers great spiritual encouragement.

It's a pity that this kind of encouragement that boosted the morale of the Japanese army brought them only more and heavier casualties.

From the start of the official attack of the Qin army's infantry to the complete victory of the Qin army, it took only three hours. In the pursuit, the Japanese soldiers who completely destroyed the enemy's resistance and annihilated the defeated and retreating Japanese soldiers have been fighting until now.

……

Tokyo, the Imperial Palace of Japan.

Emperor Meiji stands in front of a huge map in his study. The attendant on the side held the candlestick. Shine the light on him. Years of experience in the succession have taught him to stop his anger and act without anger, even in the most irritable moments.

The candlelight shone his shadow on the map, dragging a long, dark shadow.

The report of the defeat of the 1st Brigade came. Of the more than 5,000 officers and men, only more than 1,000 escaped in wolves. Brigade commander Oyama Iwa's soul returned to Kudansaka, Akihito Komatsumiya lost his voice on the battlefield, and Emperor Meiji only felt as if he had been stabbed in his heart after receiving the news.

His finger slid lightly over the map. Yokosuka, Yokohama, Kawasaki, Tama River......

The words of defeat slowly passed through his mind. Word by word, crystal clear. Meiji muttered to himself. It's like asking oneself a question.

Most of the 1st Brigade was broken. A small half of the Tokyo Jintai forces were lost, although reinforcements from Sendai had already arrived in Tokyo. At present, the number of Japanese troops gathered in Tokyo is still more than 15,000, and it will not be long before the troops of Osaka Zhentai will arrive. But the Qin army's conquest was so sharp that Emperor Meiji was really a little drumming about the future of the war.

And more importantly, even if the Japanese gathered heavy troops and defeated the enemy, the Qing people, who had the advantage of sea power, could withdraw by sea at will. And to defeat the Qing army in front of it, how heavy will Japan have to pay?

Saigo Congdao, Akamatsu Norira, Oyama Rock......

One by one, the elites of the Imperial Kingdom, as well as more than 7,000 Yamato athletes, and naval warships such as the Nisshin, plus the Yokosuka Shipyard, and Japan's six years of restoration and strength, some of the family funds that were finally accumulated, this war will cost me an unknown amount of money...... Meiji's distressed bleeding!

……

The sound of artillery rumbled, blowing up the Japanese positions on the opposite side into smoke and smoke. More than 50 breech guns were placed on the spot, the shell casings were already as beaten as a hill, and the gunners stripped off their arms, loaded shells into the barrels, and fired them like thunder.

Not far away, the soldiers of the Qin army formed a sparse skirmish line in squadrons, attacking various positions around the front.

The officers were in front, and the soldiers were close behind. Letting out an earth-shattering cry and rushing to one position after another, the Japanese army naturally resisted desperately. The two black and blue waves are surging, and the fight often turns into hand-to-hand combat everywhere in the end. Either the Qin army was driven back, or the high ground was captured and the Manchu dragon flag was erection.

The dozens of breech-loading guns of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army were a force that concentrated almost all of the advanced artillery fire in the town of Tokyo. The defeat in the Battle of Tama River had an impact on the Japanese army, not only the death of a future Japanese field marshal, the death of several future Japanese army generals, not to mention the death of more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers and the suppression of the morale of the Japanese army as a whole, but the loss of all the advanced artillery forces in the Tokyo town. This point is the most fatal for the Japanese army now.

Every time the dragon flag is planted on a captured position, the soldiers of the Qin army in the entire battlefield will let out a huge cheering sound!

The attack battlefield surrounding the Qin army was full of people, cars and horses. Yokohama is one of Japan's important seaports and one of the most important cities in Japan, the Qin army collected a large number of chariots and horses from Yokohama, and a team of logistics officers and soldiers continuously transported supplies, ammunition and food, and then evacuated the corpses of the fallen soldiers and the wounded and sick. In order to smooth the logistics and transportation of the Qin army's attack troops, the Qin army's heavy troops could not even care about 'cleaning up' the Yokohama market. A qiē in order to be in full swing of the ongoing offensive! (To be continued......) R1292
