The Golden State must be reinforced, this is not to be discussed.

One is to fight for a strategic buffer time and space for himself, and the other is that Yang Hao knows that after the Japanese army broke through Jinzhou, in order to vent the anger of being blocked at the beginning of entering the city, he killed people when he entered from the north gate, regardless of the old and the young, women and children. Soldiers searched the city from house to house, burning, killing, prostituting and plundering!

The most miserable family is Qu's family on West Street, with only five sisters and five children. Because he refused to be humiliated by the Japanese army, he fought with scissors and kitchen knives, and was killed by the Japanese army, and drowned alive in the well in the yard with five children.

The brutality and bestiality of the Japanese army is their instinct, and it has nothing to do with civilization and education. It doesn't matter what "relying on violent means to deter the people in the occupied areas", it is simply a bunch of brutes who look like people, and killing them all is the best way!

Yang Hao was very relieved about Liu Yong's calmness and ability, and unloaded their battalion first to land, and the purpose was also here.

The officers sent by Xu Bangdao to ask for help were originally very disappointed when they heard that there was only one battalion of reinforcements. But then he saw Yang Jiajun, who had changed into a temperate combat uniform and a steel helmet on his head, and he was elated and applauded again and again.

The glorious achievements of the Yang Jiajun in repeatedly defeating the Japanese army have long been spread throughout the Huai Army. Li Hongzhang also made people seriously study their equipment and tactics. Although the generals below have a lot of errands, the names have already been heard like thunder.

Also in order to settle his heart, Li Jingfang specially reminded: "Don't underestimate this battalion, they used their own strength to block the Japanese army in Pyongyang's Dongxian Ridge for several days, killing more than 2,000 enemies!" ”

The people who came were overjoyed and immediately led the way. led Liu Yong's battalion to rush to Jinzhou.

At this time. The battle for Golden State has entered a phase of fierce firefighting. Ten o'clock. The 1st Brigade and the 1st Wing led by Nogi Noshinori attacked separately from Shimenzi and Daheshangshan outside Jinzhou. But because Xu Bangdao's defenders occupied the high ground and were dangerous, although most of them were new soldiers, they relied on sharp weapons to block them fiercely, and they could not advance an inch.

To say that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in this era is really not very good, although the individual soldiers are well-trained, the group tactics are far less flexible than later. Plus their Major General Brigade Commander Nogi Noshinori. is also a lever head who doesn't like to be flexible, and the stumbling battles along the way are not as good as the first army of Youpeng in Shanxian County.

Liu Yong's battalion arrived at Jinzhou City, and the two generals, Xu Bangdao and Lian Shun, were overjoyed. Looking at the high morale of the new army, all of them can be called elite, and the mood of the original defeat is much better.

However, when Liu Yong opened his mouth and said, "The operational command of our department needs to be independent, and the two military sects can be sent to coordinate in the center", Lian Shun's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "Could it be that Liu Yingguan thinks that you and others have fought against the Japanese army a few times, so they know how to fight better than us?" There cannot be two kings in a country. There should be only one person in command of a battlefield. You new army should understand this truth, right? ”

Lian Shun is not a bad person. Among the Manchurian officials, he is considered to be honest and capable. In his consciousness, Liu Yong was a "battalion commander" in charge of more than 700 people, but he was just the same level as a battalion officer under them. People are so young, they can have a thousand general foundations, and if they are promoted to a garrison, they will be extraordinarily gracious, and they know how to deploy troops? Not to mention in the eyes of their two admirals and deputy commanders.

However, Yang Hao had long expected that this problem might occur, and a follower sent by Li Jingfang immediately came forward to mediate: "At present, the defense between the Jin Lian is subject to the dispatch of the eldest prince. It was precisely because of the crisis that the two were facing that the strongest battalion was deployed from Commander Yang. With them, they can be safe. ”

Lian Shun and Xu Bangdao glanced at each other, and nodded immediately: "In this way, we can trust the eldest prince." I asked this Liu Yingguan to deploy his subordinates to help us do a good job in the defense of Jinzhou. ”

Now is not the time for disputes, how to stop the enemy army and hold Jinzhou is the first priority. At the same time, they also want to see with their own eyes what kind of benefits and stakes this Yang Jiajun, who is now famous all over the world.

Xu Bangdao kindly mentioned: "Your ministry has come here after a long journey, and I'm afraid I'm tired and ruthless." Do I need to rest for a day? The battle ahead was for a moment or two, but we still supported it. ”

Liu Yong said indifferently: "Thank you Xu Junmen for your kindness, the battle situation is urgent, and we can enter the battle immediately." Please also send multiple guides to the front line as soon as possible. ”

This straightforwardness, but it also matched Xu Bangdao's temper, he slapped his thigh: "Refreshing, then it's decided." It's just that you don't have a lot of people, so it seems cheaper to be in one place. ”

A battalion of about 700 people, scattered out of two groups of combat strength, leaving the reserves, at best, there are only two or three hundred people on one side, is it useful?

Liu Yong is not good at saying that our soldiers are one of you ten, and he is not worried about the Su zhì of the Qing soldiers, in case a main force goes out, but they suddenly collapse from the other side, this belly and back are not run by the enemy, it is better to be careful.

There was no need for much persuasion from the other party, and the first and second companies were sent to the Shimenzi and Daheshan positions in the east of the city. The third company and the battalion headquarters remained in the city as a reserve. The fire company was reinforced with one platoon and two heavy machine guns. The men of the two companies were not very tired along the way, only slightly repaired for half an hour, and immediately went into battle.

It's two o'clock in the afternoon. Prior to this, Nogi Noshinori's 1st Brigade and 2nd Brigade had attacked for three hours each, but due to the difficulty of large-scale deployment due to the terrain, they could not make an inch. However, the soldiers of the Qing army were basically too poor, and they fired countless ammunition, but there was basically no lethal effect.

The first and second companies hurriedly entered the position, and the company commander immediately learned about the enemy situation in front from the opposing battalion officer, and personally touched it to observe the terrain, and stepped up the construction of trench machine gun barricades on the basis of the Qing army's fortifications.

Each of the new soldiers had a wooden-handled sapper shovel, and each soldier could build a foxhole for himself without much effort. Then, from this base, it quickly extends to the sides and hooks up with other people.

Xu Bangdao couldn't resist his curiosity, and ventured to the front of the position, and asked curiously when he saw this scene: "You are so effortless, can you still hold up the battle later?" Besides, how can you shoot at the enemy army when you are buried in a pit? ”

In these years, the Qing army could only stand and shoot, engage in trenches and lie down in them to aim, and basically didn't understand this kind of thing. In addition, most of them are newly recruited soldiers, that is, they can shoot and load bullets, and they can't even maintain them. Telling them about infantry tactics is tantamount to playing the harp to an ox.

Despite this, Huang Lebo, deputy battalion commander and commander of the second company, patiently replied: "These are all necessary skills for the new army." On the battlefield, you have to make full use of the environment to reduce the possibility of being discovered and attacked by enemy forces. With trenches to cover, soldiers have fewer exposed bodies and fewer chances of being shot. Recruits will also feel more at ease. ”

Xu Bangdao was skeptical, he had never heard of this at all. However, it is a bit of the meaning that Zeng Guofan led them to "set up camp and fight in a stupid battle".

Then he saw a very light and heavy machine gun deployed, especially dragging a long chain of 250 rounds, and his curiosity rose again, and he asked, "What is this?" Could it be that you can shoot bullets continuously? ”

Huang Lebo said with a smile: "This is a good thing, it can be called a butcher's knife on the battlefield!" You'll know how powerful it is when the little devils attack! No matter how many people he rushes together, they are all dead! ”

The abnormal movement on this side of the position naturally attracted the attention of the Japanese army. As soon as the soldiers who had gone out to scout before the adventure approached, they were called one by one with sniper rifles by precision marksmen who were hidden in gilly suits.

The method of knocking people down with one shot from a distance of a few hundred meters was like a god to all the Qing soldiers, and they immediately applauded again and again.

Xu Bangdao's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and praised: "Good marksmanship!" It's really a hundred steps through Yang, and there is no false shot! Su asked about the interest of the new armament, and the combat skills were excellent, and it was not a lie. ”

The Japanese army responsible for the attack on the position of the Great Monk Mountain here was the headquarters of Yasumo Takenaka of the First Brigade of the First Wing, and the first battle before did not progress, which made him very unhappy. He was taken aback when he heard that the scouts had been killed in succession, and that in just one hour five or six had died, more than in the previous three hours of fighting.

Came to the front with the guards, and looked between the mountains with a telescope, the shadows were not very real, but it seemed that the other party had exposed some mounds and other things.

"Na mud? When did Qing soldiers learn to dig trenches? ”

From the landing operation to here, they have not seen similar fortifications along the way. It didn't just now, why did it suddenly pop up? They came with reinforcements?

At the thought of the word reinforcements, he suddenly became vigilant, as if there was intelligence claiming that the private armed forces that had dealt a heavy blow to the First Division in China and led the naval defeat were going to come here to participate in the battle. Could it be that they are?

If those guys come up, they're in trouble!

No matter how proud Nogi Noshinori was, the defeat that the First Army suffered before and the terrible price paid by the First Division later were not fake. If that team comes up, it will be more difficult for them to attack.

Takenaka Shaozo did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone to report to Major General Nogi Noshinori of Liujiadian, and at the same time immediately strengthened the troops that were prepared for battle.

Nogi Noshinori was irritable at this time, but after hearing the report, he immediately calmed down, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded: "Hee-hee!" I had thought I'd meet this rumored and extremely powerful force for a while. Sue Sù Takenaka Shaosa, launch his fiercest attack, I want to see with my own eyes if they are really that strong. ”

"However, Your Excellency, it seems too dangerous for you to go forward as a distinguished person."

Wing Commander Oki Shigetsu Nakasa comforted, but saw Nogi Noshinori glaring fiercely: "Major General Oshima Yoshimasa can brave the cannon stone to come to the front line in person, am I not as good as him?" ”

The Oki Heavy Festival Nakasa had no choice but to stop fighting.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the first brigade of the Japanese army launched another fierce attack, and more than 200 people of the first squadron rushed to the artillery position of the Great Monk Mountain with a loud shout! (To be continued......)
