PS: Book friends say that the pace is slow, so let's speed it up.

Thirty-six camp guns and twelve 75-pound mountain guns were only the first batch, and in the second half of the night, 10 80mm cannons and field guns and four 4-pound field guns dismantled from the Dalian Bay Fort were delivered one after another. These guns were all mounted on the large frame of the hydraulic retractor and re-entry mechanism that had been customized from the world, and with a high-bearing capacity rubber-tyred chassis and a welded stationing hoe, they immediately changed from the original rack retraction cannon to rapid-fire guns.

In this way, together with the original ten cannons in the city, and the artillery arranged in front, the total is close to ninety. Together with the mortars of the fire company, there are more than a hundred!

The two Qing army generals were almost dumbfounded, but Yang Hao was still gritting his teeth: "It's not enough, it's still not enough!" ”

In the rear, 12 150mm guns on the turret are also being disassembled. They will be mounted on a turret converted from a tractor chassis, towed with a 50-horsepower tractor, creating a heavy artillery unit that can quickly maneuver on a range position. These guys are really powerful equipment that shocks the enemy army!

Nogi Noshinori's last attack in the evening, with the full strength of the two brigades, plus the artillery support of the first wing, failed to achieve the depth of the first attack, and was swept away by a large number of bullets rushing in front of him, more than 200 numbers!

Until dark, no progress was made.

Nogi Noshinori was furious and was about to go to personally supervise the battle and fight all night, when he suddenly received an order from the division commander, Lieutenant General Yamachi Motoji, to suspend his action.

Observing the battlefield during the day, he found that it was difficult to break through quickly by attacking from the front, so he decided to attack from the other side of Fuzhou Avenue, which was poorly defended. Noshinori continued to attract fire from the front, and he personally led the Japanese troops of the 2nd and 3rd Wings to attack the back of the left flank position.

Those who followed the order came. There is also a team that has no rank. A unique unit with a white cloth wrapped around their heads. It was the remnants of the 21st Wing that had been stripped of its flag.

According to the tradition of the Japanese army, when the flag of the wing was taken away on the battlefield, all of them either apologized for their crimes, or all of them died in battle, in short, it was impossible to return alive.

After the First World War in Pyongyang, some of the officers of the 21st Wing committed suicide, but the vast majority of the soldiers were led by the adjutant of the Naojiro Sugioka Wing. Formed an all-time death squad.

This force, which numbered more than 1,000 men, was at the forefront of the charge whenever it went into battle. Everyone has a menstrual belt wrapped around their heads, and no matter how many enemies they face, they must die with their heads forward and never take half a step back.

This kind of crazy style of playing with life made Song Qing's troops suffer enough in the previous battle of Jiangfang, and the defeat was faster and more complete than in history. But the Japanese soldiers of the death squad suffered almost no casualties.

When he learned that the culprit of their tragedy, the Yang Jiajun, was about to leave for the Liaodong battlefield, Naojiro Sugioka immediately asked to turn here. Commander Aritomo of Yama Prefecture promised and contacted the navy to transport them to Piziwo, and today they came to the rear of Nogi Noshinori's position.

Soldiers who lost their wing flags. Being despised and even hated by the entire Japanese army is related to the reputation of the entire army!

So they were not allowed into the camp at all. Don't let them get too close.

Nogi Noshinori doesn't have a good opinion of them either, but the current situation is just right for the use of such a group of mourning soldiers, and maybe it can open up the situation.

Naojiro Sugioka and all the soldiers were still wearing the clothes of the Pyongyang war, without bathing or changing, and at this time everyone emitted a strong stench, which could smoke people from a few feet away.

They did not add any equipment, and each of them went out with only one single-shot Murata Type 18 rifle with bayonets on it, and ten rounds of ammunition with it. Their only mission is to shoot and advance until the last bullet is exhausted, and then rush forward to kill the enemy with their bayonets, or be killed by the enemy.

Out of a responsible attitude, Nogi Noshinori went to their camp anyway.

More than 1,000 people were still separated according to the organization, and in the cold weather, there were no measures to keep warm, and all of them looked as stiff as mud sculptures, nibbling on cold rice balls and drinking cold water. Whether they are injured or sick, they can't hear a day's moaning, and it's as silent as a group of zombies.

Rao is Nogi Noshinori is bold, and he can't help but fight a cold war. From the faces of these soldiers, he understood what it meant to "mourn more than die in the heart". They are using this masochistic way to express their remorse in their hearts, constantly torturing themselves with pain, and firmly facing the fearlessness of death.

Including Naojiro Sugioka, it was the same approach, which made Nogi Noshinori nozzle couldn't help but nod again and again: "Hee, this is the spirit that an imperial soldier should have!" Such courage to face the repentance in the heart, and wash away the shame with the blood of the enemy and oneself, can the soul return to its hometown cleanly. ”

Naojiro Sugioka always listened coldly to him after issuing the order, but when he heard Yang Hao's name, a strong hatred flashed in his eyes.

For most of the night, all the Japanese troops camped and repaired. Yang Hao and the defenders were also busy consolidating the fortifications and stepping up the deployment of artillery.

At four o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army flew on both wings and suddenly launched a fierce attack like a tide! More than 1,000 soldiers of the 21st Wing Death Squad, divided into three parts, each in front of the main force, bravely rushed to the defense line!

"The devils are here, all ready to fight!"

Loud shouts rang out one after another in the various positions, and the soldiers of the New Army, who had been on high alert, lifted the thick rain cloth that wrapped their bodies with the most neat movements, and threw themselves into the trenches to guard with guns.

In the darkness, there seemed to be countless people hidden in the fog, and it was not real to see through the binoculars, but the white cloth on the top of the Japanese army's heads and the attitude of rushing forward fearlessly made the scouts notice a trace of abnormality!

Kong Guanghan immediately reported to the command headquarters on the radio, and as soon as Yang Hao heard this, he jumped up, and immediately notified the battlefield: "Be careful, they may be the Japanese army's death squad!" Don't get too close to them, and fire at them as soon as you get into the machine-gun blockade distance! ”

In Ding Weifen's report, the existence of the Japanese death squad was mentioned, but Yang Hao didn't think about it elsewhere at that time. But now he can't be careless, the Japanese army suffered so many casualties yesterday or hard, there must be unknown changes. He can't take any risks!

On the three-sided position, there was a sudden series of muffled sounds, followed by more than a dozen flares falling from the low altitude, illuminating the position between the mountains and fields!

The Japanese death squad wrapped in a white cloth was all exposed, and the unique posture and fearless firm steps between actions revealed a palpitating murderous and dead air!

Huang Lebo couldn't hold his breath at first, grabbed the phone and yelled: "Open the cannon and blow up his brother-in-law!" The machine guns are all prepared for Lao Tzu, don't spare your hands, fight to the death! ”

The 60 mortars, which had not been able to fire yesterday, fired first! In the roaring explosion, thousands of steel balls and prefabricated fragments formed a whirlwind that swept the battlefield, creating circular death zones in the Japanese array.

The artillery of the Qing army did not know what to do, but they themselves did not have a discipline, and immediately followed up with their own artillery, and for a while, in the area of a thousand meters in depth before the battlefield, flowering shells and solid bullets flew together, smokeless medicine open flame and black fire - smoke and smoke were staggered, and the rumbling explosion resounded in the sky!

The Japanese death squad, which had already experienced a similar scene, knew what would happen next. The leading temporary officer shouted, and all the soldiers shouted hysterically in unison: "Paste the black card, board it!" Onboard! Onboard! ”

The eyes of everyone who were stunned spewed crazy brilliance, like a group of injured wild boars, irrationally raising their spears and running wildly!

The flares in the sky, the explosions at low altitude and on the ground, illuminated the bumpy road for them, and one by one the dwarves jumped flexibly and drove straight to the front!

At a distance of five hundred meters, heavy machine guns fired!

At a distance of 400 meters, a light machine gun fired!

At a distance of 300 meters, the "conscienceless cannons" erected everywhere let out an angry roar, and the earth-shattering explosion exploded a large area!

Yang Hao made full use of the huge amount of quercus stored by Li Hongzhang, and used the most direct and effective means to bundle countless ten kilograms or even heavier medicine bags, plus steel corners, broken glass ballast, porcelain pieces and other things, and used gas canisters or even thicker seamless steel pipe cannons to throw them all over the ground!

The terrible explosions were dozens of times, and the entire Qing army first shook their ears so that they couldn't hear anything. They were stunned to see that the Japanese soldiers running wildly in front of them were like toys, torn to pieces by explosions again and again, or flying out dozens of meters away and hanging on the rocks!

Such brutality, ferocity, viciousness, and intensity, far beyond their imagination, directly refreshed their brains and thoughts, not only unacceptable, but simply incredible!

Whether it is Xu Bangdao on the front or Zhou Dingchen on the left, or even Lian Shun in the city, they are all shocked by the scene in front of them, and their heads are blank!

After the feeling of a long day and night returned to normal, in fact, less than five minutes had passed, and then I looked at the position, under the reflection of hundreds of burning fires, large and small, there were all over the mutilated corpses of Japanese soldiers.

The very few soldiers who were able to break through the fire blockade were also shot with precision, or sent a dense rain of bullets to Bobosha fifty meters away!

Even with Nogi Noshinori's ruthlessness and decisiveness, he was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he was speechless for a long time.

If it was not the death squads that attacked, but his soldiers, who fought with such a fearless charge, the result would have been the complete destruction of both brigades.

The enemy on the opposite side is so terrible that it is unacceptable to accept Cheng dù!

However, even with such heavy casualties, the remaining Japanese soldiers in the death squad did not seem to be particularly afraid. Naojiro Okamura only twitched out of the corner of his eye, and coldly ordered the rest of the soldiers: "Keep attacking!" ”

On the battlefield, Liu Yong, Huang Lebo and others gave a firm order: "Prepare more shells and see if they have more people or more ammunition!" (To be continued......)
