"Both captains were killed by them?!"

A soldier's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost fell off his horse! This news is amazing.

The best of the Japanese army are the middle and lower-class officers, and it is precisely because of their high level that the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the entire army are guaranteed. A squadron, a squadron, and even a brigade, formed into combat formations of various scales and levels, basically do not need to worry too much about the commanders at the wing, division, and regimental levels after they are put into the battlefield.

Such talents are precious, and every sacrifice is a great loss. Today, it was just the top scouts who went out to attack some enemy troops, and they actually caused so much damage! Those hundreds of soldiers, what are they eating!

Without asking, he immediately thought of the terrible precision shooter. From the beginning of the American Civil War to today, in just a few decades, some soldiers who are born to fight accurately have emerged in the elite troops of various countries. On the battlefield, they are often able to exert unexpected effects.

The two groups of enemies in front of them must have been composed of them. But the problem is, this is surrounded by hundreds of people, scattered and wide offensive lines, and it is common for them to stretch out each other to a depth of more than three or five hundred meters, how can they so easily target the target?

Or, is it just a coincidence?

A family guard gritted his teeth and urged his horse to rush up the gentle slope and look out over the battlefield. In a rare clear view, there may be a small village of only a dozen families, with low houses and sparse trees.

"Blow up that house!"

A household guard gave a decisive order, which surprised the staff officer: "But Shaozuo, we don't carry many shells!" If you consume it now, it will be too late to replenish it, and the attack on the enemy army in front of you will be discounted! ”

A household guard said coldly: "Our task is to drag them down and attack them!" It is necessary to ensure that the enemy does not escape before the ships of the Navy arrive and block the Imjin River! Time is the most important thing, you must do your best to pass guò here, and execute the order! ”

"Hay!"

A few minutes later, two 70mm field guns, which had already moved to about a kilometer ahead, opened fire!

This imitation of the bronze frame cannon has a maximum range of 5,000 meters, and the rate of fire is fast enough, but the fly in the ointment is that the accuracy is not enough. Normally, it is more secure to push to the front and shoot at close range, but now, they scatter and bomb the village from a distance of two kilometers, but it is enough.

"Boom! Boom! ”

A series of explosions set off a series of strong fireworks, and the wooden structure houses exploded in response to the sound, raising a wave of impact air more than ten meters high, and the sound of explosions like thunder formed a terrifying deterrent!

The two squadrons, which had lost their commanders, erupted in angry shouts in unison, scattering their feet like flying and rushing forward! In just two minutes, it was easy to get past the interception and kill the other end!

One of the guards sulked violently, his face gloomy as iron. Still haven't caught those damn mice! If you continue like this, if you don't wait to fight the enemy head-on and sacrifice your numbers, you will not be able to get off the stage!

The losses in the Seoul assault were so great that Major General Yoshimasa Oshima was not only shocked, but also the base camp. The threat of such a powerful and mysterious enemy appearing in the heart of the empire that must be conquered cannot be overestimated.

Minister Keisuke Otori has repeatedly stated that the missing Daewonjun and the kidnapped Yuan Shikai are an indispensable part of the empire's grand plan to acquire Korea. It can now be concluded that they did it in a group, and that they were most likely under the protection of the guy in front.

The father of a king who had great influence on Korea, a group of young Confucian scholars who had just made a name for themselves, and Yuan Shikai, a prominent official who was trusted by Li Hongzhang, the prime minister of the Qing dynasty. Such a combination, any big city you go to, can immediately form the core of a hostile empire.

Not only can they easily win the support of the Korean people, but they can also get all-round support from the military, economic, and political forces of the Qing state. Once they run to Pyongyang, even if the empire immediately occupies Seoul, it will not be able to complete the control. Not to mention, Concubine Min Group didn't want to cooperate at all.

At this moment, no matter how many opinions there are about the Navy, Ichibu Guard deeply hopes that the Navy warships will be in place in time and cut off the back road of this group of people!

Seeing Dashan, Yang Hao greeted the snipers and machine gun teams who ran back in circles all the way, and patted them on the shoulders one by one: "Good job!" The role of a few of you, the top of the previous platoon! ”

An honest young man with an average age of no more than twenty years old, his face was red with happiness, and the corners of his eyes were wrinkled.

Yang Haotong saw it through high-powered telescopes, and these boys really picked up the Japanese officers in accordance with the training requirements. In terms of causing chaos, it is estimated that the dead are not the squad leader, and if they can't get it, they are the squadron leader. This was a heavy blow to the Japanese army.

The two sniper squads returned to the rear of their positions and took a break. At the foot of the mountain, the Japanese squadron attacking along the river, also with the support of artillery fire, had the courage to accelerate the advance!

The two half-disabled squadrons, with a total number of about 500 people, one on the left and one on the right, separated by two kilometers, formed an inverted triangle formation with four 70mm field guns advancing one after another. Put the hill with a total frontal width of about three kilometers, and top it with two sharp knives.

In their rear, a battalion led by a family guard, still divided into two groups, one pressed behind the artillerymen, and the other with the strength of a squadron, made a detour from the right flank through the messy hills. Looking at that posture, I wanted to touch the back, relying on the extra people to come to a three-sided attack, trapping people to death on the top of the mountain.

Yang Hao smiled disdainfully: "With such a small amount of manpower, it's really whimsical to plan to serve us in one pot!" Three kilometers of mountainous terrain, hiding in a fugitive, you have to use thousands of people to search. You're a man armed with more than 200 guns! ”

He didn't worry. Not to mention the three advanced M1 howitzers, the ammunition delivery speed and explosive power are several times higher than those of the enemy. Another three 82 mortars, two squads of 4 60mm mortars, one squad of 2 82mm recoilless guns, plus each platoon's own 2 RPG7s. With a total of 16 long and short killing weapons, the total lethal force can catch up with a wing of the Japanese army, not to mention the grenades with at least 4 people.

Don't say that the two hundred or so people are fighting hard for the two thousand people in front, as long as the terrain is suitable, no matter how many you come, it will be extremely difficult to attack!

The only thing that Yang Hao is dissatisfied with is that in order to ensure that his identity is covered, the rifles used by the whole army are Mosinagan instead of 56 and a half, otherwise the firepower density can be increased several times. At that time, there was fun when the fight started!

Of course, a family guard didn't know this, he suffered such a big loss, but he still commanded the entire force to move forward steadily and steadily. Immediately after the artillery was in position, more than twenty rounds were fired at the suspicious hill in front of them, while carefully observing the debris raised by the explosion. As a result, whether it was him, or the two squadron forwards who advanced to the front, there was no trace of the enemy at all!

"Could it be that they have all run away to the back of the mountain?"

After thinking about it, Ichibu resolutely vetoed it. With the audacity and ferocity of the enemy, they would never be afraid of a few field cannons, and they would most likely hide very tightly. The density of artillery fire on their side is far from enough, and it is not easy to blow them up.

But that's okay, we have enough manpower, as long as we press it all, don't worry about you not moving the nest!

He controlled the speed of advance, and asked the two squadrons to stop at a distance of 500 meters from the foot of the mountain, and to find cover on the spot to pause. When the outflanked troops on the right flank were about to approach the tail of the prawn, a crisp gunfire suddenly rang out from the hill!

The roundabout troops immediately stood by in concealment, and a household guard was in high spirits: "Hee-hee! Is it really here? So, get ready to attack! ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun lifted the clouds on the wet ground, like taking a sauna. It's just that lying in the field in a military uniform, the feeling of the Japanese army is not so wonderful. All of them were sticky and hot, their mouths were dry, and their eyes were sunburned.

If it drags on like this, the troops will not be able to stand it. A family guard looked at the lush mountains and forests in the binoculars, and the other party was obviously waiting for work, but with a few cold gunners, he dragged himself to the present, and he was really cunning enough!

He took out his pocket watch and checked the time, and coldly gave the order to attack!

The infantry squadrons on the left and right flanks, more than 500 soldiers, flashed out of their bunkers, stepped on the mud, and rushed forward!

"Your uncle, it's finally here!"

In the first trench at the foot of the mountain, a long row of Huang Lebo slapped his thigh, took out the kettle from behind and took a sip, as if he had drunk soju.

The soldier next to him couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, Huang Lebo glared and shouted, "What do you see?" Lao Tzu can't drink wine! Hurry up, show me the devil! No one is allowed to shoot without my orders! The first shot, be sure to hit it accurately, it's rare to have an enemy who is stupid enough to be sent to the door as a target, and you must not go empty! ”

…… is worthy of being a thief, even if he has been trained strictly, his spoken language can't be changed.

The warriors snickered, and the atmosphere was not so strict. Each concentrated on three points and one line, and locked on the Japanese troops who were getting closer and closer, and their breath gradually held their breath, and they could barely even blow the thatch next to them.

It's close! It's close! It's closer!

The Japanese soldiers with dark skin, short stature, and extremely flexible footsteps seem to be able to see clearly with their cautious eyes! The closer they got to the foot of the mountain, the steep slopes that rose and fell, the sparse shrubs, the weeds more than a foot high, the stones that dotted them, and the ravines that lay all over the place, they felt as if there were endless murderous motives hidden in every place!

The unbearable silence, the collision of some invisible signal approaching each other, made the Japanese veterans feel as if they were in a jungle surrounded by fierce beasts!

Just when several squad leaders had just raised their arms and were about to shout orders, a row of heads suddenly appeared in front of the empty people!

An earth-shattering roar came: "Fight! ”

In an instant, bullets flew sideways, and the sound of gunfire shook the sky!
