Every high-ranking commander understands the truth that "war is to fight resources."

When Oshima Yoshimasa learned the details of the battle ahead, he was silent for a long time, and said earnestly to the chief of staff and the officers of the brigade and regimental headquarters: "What we have encountered is an enemy that we have never seen before. It may even be a species that the world has never heard of before. The weapons and equipment they have, the tactics they use, are all unconventional and comparable. Therefore, be sure to think outside the box and deal with it in particular! ”

"But Major General, is it simply because their weapons are unusually ferocious? You know, our army is very strong. Even the Germans think that the su zhì is first-class! ”

The young staff officer was not convinced. They have always believed that the military construction of the empire is to learn from the world's first-rate forces. Japanese soldiers can bear hardships and stand hard work, and even those who dare to train shirtless in the winter, so hard and hard, there is no reason to lose to others.

Yoshimasa Oshima shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sometimes, you can't defeat the enemy by will alone. Soldiers still have to rely on their weapons to help. Ladies and gentlemen, the world's military is changing rapidly, so don't be careless. In this respect, the empire was limited to financial resources and could not be compared with the Western powers at all. ”

"Qing is not a great power!"

"Then who is sure that the enemy opposite us is the armed forces of the Qing State? So many of our intelligence agencies, who have made huge sacrifices, have not found any trace of them. This thing is very suspicious! ”

Yoshimasa Oshima is not ready to scold self-motivated young people. Their self-confidence is still worth encouraging, at least at the critical moment, and morale can be boosted.

"So. How do we overcome the enemy in front of us? Major general. We don't have much time left at the headquarters. At least until the arrival of the 5th Division. We have to open the gap to Huangzhou and Zhonghe! ”

Yoshimasa Oshima was silent for a moment.

It was an attack that was so urgent that it was breathless. Each day is precisely calculated. As the advance team, they were entrusted with important tasks because of their rich experience in fighting the Qing army. Not only must roads be opened, but also major cities must be entered in advance to obtain supplies. Otherwise, the large army behind will come up, and everyone will starve.

Taking a deep breath, Yoshimasa Oshima nodded vigorously: "I will definitely arrive on time with everyone." Order the rest of the artillery, all reinforcements! ”

"No more reserves?" The staff officer's eyes narrowed in surprise.

"I don't stay. Too weak artillery fire. It is impossible to deter the arrogance of the enemy, and there is no need to save ammunition. Launch a total attack! ”

"Hay!"

The staff officer saluted excitedly, he had been looking forward to such a scene for a long time. Finally, is it about to begin?

The other eight 70mm mountain guns were pushed forward from their hiding places and approached the Dongxian Ridge position for about two kilometers. Each gun is very open between them, and no matter what angle it is struck, even if it is smashed with a naval gun, it will not be able to destroy both guns at the same time.

Huang Lebo saw clearly with the telescope, and said in surprise: "Huh? Is this a loss of long-term insight? Last time, it was served four doors in one pot. I immediately knew about the change of formation today...... The little devil is not a tendon that does not turn! ”

Most of the concepts of the Japanese army in the minds of him and most of the officers came from Yang Hao's indoctrination.

And whether it is Yang Hao or several other Yang family masters. Most of the concept of the Japanese army comes from the state formed after the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, which believed that the spirit was superior to the weapon, and that it was fierce and fierce and not afraid of death.

What the Japanese army was like before that, they didn't have a deep opinion. From the analysis of the information that can be found, there are not many representative results.

It was only from this historically decisive battle that the Japanese army lacked food and clothing, ammunition and insufficient preparations, and actually starved and attacked riskily, and united to defeat the Qing army, which was waiting for work. It is conceivable that the Japanese army at this time already had a decent and unique temperament.

It is conceivable that an army where even the major generals can only drink porridge has almost no rations for the next day in their pockets. In the pouring rain, everyone didn't have raincoats, so they were drenched. After trekking for more than ten days in a row, he was finally hungry and unable to eat water and rice, and he had to persist in fighting for a whole day...... Such a su zhì can only be overestimated and must not be underestimated.

Be lenient, well prepared, and be careful.

Huang Lebo didn't know what was going on here. He just sighed from what he felt last time and compared it with today's changes.

However, he soon discovered that there were some problems with the Japanese army, and they still did not get rid of them. For example, they actually piled all the shells next to the artillery!

"Sure enough, I can't change it if I die!"

Huang Lebo shook his head, it seems that the Japanese are very limited even if they are clever. At least this one can be used. Very good, then give you some energy!

He immediately called the fire company behind the mountain: "The little devils' artillery has come out, and they are ready to take them out!" ”

"Got it, we've been watching! Make sure he doesn't have a single thing left! ”

The voice of the commander of the fire company was full of faint pride, as if this matter did not need his advice at all, and it was purely superfluous.

Huang Lebo "snapped" and deducted the phone, shook his head and muttered: "These bastards who play big guys are really bullish!" Hehe, one day you will have to be bullish too! ”

Artillery is a technical branch, and those selected are the ones with the best academic performance. The weapons they manipulate are high-value and powerful, and they are known as the "God of War", so it is not surprising that they are arrogant.

However, Huang Lebo is not envious, according to what Yang Hao said on the spot, one day they will each sit in a four-wheeled car. Or take a chariot with armor protection, and when the time comes, you can also go on a rampage and be invincible!

At the foot of the mountain, the Japanese army regrouped, and one by one they piled up and thickened.

The original two squadrons sent all the reserves. The forces of the other two squadrons, one to be replenished to the center, and the other to be scattered between the two gaps, ready to maneuver to the flanks at any moment.

In their rear, another battalion of Japanese troops began to push forward, totaling more than a thousand people.

The commander of the 21st Wing, Takeda Hideyama Nakasa, personally stepped forward to command, looked at the overall situation, and carefully controlled the use of each squadron.

More soldiers, urgently tearing down the planks of the carts from the rear, or cutting down trees from the surrounding mountains and forests and tying them up in rows. This is the only effective way to deal with steel spikes on the ground that can be found in a hurry.

It was a great sadness to encounter such a strange enemy, and they had no other trick.

The sound of gunfire from the battle here reached the city of Huangju a few kilometers later, and immediately panicked the people of Goryeo who remained behind. Yang Hao stood on the street and gave encouragement and confidence to everyone.

On the Pyongyang defense line farther away, Ma Yukun received a report from the retreating battalion officer, and his face was incredulous: "What?!" Let the old man send troops to help? What bullshit! I don't have any extra soldiers and horses here! It was not enough to hold these five strongholds ....... Well? That's not right! Shouldn't he have taken a boat long ago? ”

The battalion officer sighed: "Who said no! I don't know if this big boss is obsessed with money. There's no going to move anywhere. This kind of soldier is fierce and dangerous, who can take care of whom! ”

Ma Yukun was not so easy to fool, the old guy turned around a few times in the camp tent with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stopped: "No." That kid is a goblin, and the guards under him are very hard. Even the sons and daughters of the old man are not necessarily better than him. There are guns in their hands and there are people...... He's going to die! ”

He had already seen that Yang Hao was not a master who kept to himself. Now I find that I still underestimate that guy, do you really want to come to a rich and dangerous situation? You'll have to see if you're the material, too! In a battle with thousands of troops and horses, even if you are a merchant with a hundred and ten guns, what is the use?

Ma Yukun was about to leave it alone, but when he raised his arm halfway through, he paused.

The old fellow raised his head and thought about it, and commanded, "Order someone to call that ...... Oh, Shi Jianfei, is that the name? Call him. Didn't you say that kid had a little bit of knowledge? Tell him to take the horse team to the front to see what kind of battle it is. ”

Scratching his scalp fiercely, Ma Yukun said meaningfully: "Oh, he's getting more and more interesting about this!" ”

On the Dongxian Ridge front, after about an hour of desertion, the Japanese army was ready to attack again.

This time, they first concentrated twelve artillery pieces and cleared and bombarded the definite obstacles on the left flank. However, only one round of artillery was fired, and the retaliatory strikes on the defenders' side followed!

There are still three 82 guns and three M1 howitzers, and the accurate continuous rapid-fire strikes rushed into the air in the blink of an eye, and suddenly plowed the first four-gun artillery position at the front!

The artillery shells that were many times more accurate than the opponent exploded dozens of rounds in one go, blowing those four guns to pieces! In particular, the ammunition and detonation piled up by the Japanese army on the side, the explosion of several earth-shattering explosions in a row, the large groups of fireworks swept across the preface, and the artillery that was caught off guard was killed and wounded all over the ground!

Oshima Yoshimasa's pupils shrank suddenly, and he exclaimed: "Terrible precision artillery fire!" How did they do it?! Did you see where their artillery positions were deployed?! ”

A group of staff officers who were standing around, trying to observe the mountains, shook their heads one after another: "Nothing has been found!" Absolutely unknown where it came from! ”

Yoshimasa Oshima's face is extremely ugly! He was a little remorseful, it was too hasty to let a family guard die! That guy had personally fought this group of enemies head-on. His experience, and there are merits!

What kind of artillery can hit so accurately from the start? Where are you hiding? When firing cannons, it is always ...... to have significant fireworks rising.

Doubts haunted his heart, but the time left for him to think was so scarce!

Just a few minutes later, a horde of shells suddenly smashed into another artillery position! Although the distance has been widened as much as possible, the other party seems to have countless ammunition to consume, just a few breaths, smashed out dozens of shells, one artillery cannon after another, was continuously pulled up, blown to pieces! (To be continued......)
