Close hand-to-hand combat is really extremely dangerous, Su Yuanchun a knife "oblique single whip", slashed into the ribs of an enemy soldier, but this Frenchman is extremely brave, the bayonet is thrown, while screaming, while holding the Pu knife with both hands, Su Yuanchun can't pull out the knife for a while, an enemy soldier next to him stabbed hard, Su Yuanchun doesn't want the knife, his body drips around, let the bayonet of the snow bright, his left hand to the gun on the gun, pull, right hand an iron palm, it cleaved the neck of the enemy soldier, just cut to the neck artery, this Frenchman instantly saw a black, He fainted.

Then Su Yuanchun grabbed the gun in his left hand, raised it with one hand, aimed at a French soldier in front of him, a "white rainbow through the sun", and immediately threw it away, and with a "bang", the enemy soldier was pierced from the front heart to the back, and the heart was pierced!

After a delay like this, seeing that the two French soldiers on the opposite side had already finished loading their bullets, Su Yuanchun didn't think about it, and with a touch of his right waist, he pulled out a Colt M1873 revolver!

This is the latest revolver made in the United States, is a classic in the history of pistols, has gradually become the standard of officers in the Chinese army, six rounds of magazine capacity, 50 meters of powerful firepower, extremely high precision, real melee weapons.

Su Yuanchun almost didn't have to aim, and in a flash of light, he "named" a few French people one by one, and seeing that the opponent in front of him was solved, Su Yuanchun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. A series of actions just now,Almost out of instinctive reaction,Occasionally killed a few enemies,It seems to be chic and easy,In fact, life and death are only in the millimeter,Zuihou escaped,But the back has been soaked with cold sweat!

It was only at this time that the follow-up reinforcements rushed over and surrounded Su Yuanchun, who scolded while loading the pistol: "You lazy people, it's just a little bit, Lao Tzu's stomach is about to hang on the tip of the foreigner's gun." ＂

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was already dangerous, and another regiment of the French army rushed up, and Nigri had already made a desperate bet to pull up all the main forces of the first brigade, and nearly 4,000 French troops were surging like a mountain of seas, both in terms of numbers and combat strength. The Chinese army fought desperately, but it was already difficult to support.

Su Yuanchun was still shouting there, and here Pan Tingfeng ran over unkempt, obviously suffering a lot, panting, and shouting: "General, withdraw quickly, things are no longer harmonious, if you hesitate, it will be useless to die!" ＂

Su Yuanchun saw that the troops were retreating one after another, and they were indeed bound to lose, so he had to sigh: "I underestimated these foreign devils." After saying that, he ordered the team to retreat and retreat to the area of Xiaoqingshan.

By dawn and sunrise, the French army had completely occupied the Daqingshan Fort, but also paid a great price, nearly 700 dead and wounded, in the hilltop position, the Chinese and French war dead, the corpses were staggered and horizontal, hands and feet were stacked, and some even hugged each other and died together, the tragic situation was unbearable to look at.

Nigri shook his head and muttered to himself: "This damned war, God, hurry up and end this nightmare!" ＂

"God, my dream is coming true! In the general headquarters of the French army in Tongdeng, the elated Lieutenant General Frey looked at the battle report in his hand, and after the Daqingshan Fort was successful, the French army could calmly attack the front of Zhennan Pass, and he believed that within a few days, it would be possible to break through the southern gate of China.

However, at the end of the war report, Nigri made a very unpleasant opinion: in view of the fact that the Chinese army already possessed a large number of standard mines and the fortification of the defensive positions, it was recommended to request the Paris side to send mine detection equipment and personnel. At the same time, the naval guns on the river fleet that could not go north were dismantled and transported to Zhennanguan to further enhance the firepower of the front. ＂

Frey finds it difficult to accept such an opinion, because any of these measures will take time, and time is now the most precious thing. An early victory will reduce the logistical burden and will be beneficial to Sino-French diplomatic negotiations. Of course, there is an unspeakable reason, he has already boasted that Haikou wants to hold a National Day celebration in Nanning, and the time is really limited. He's still thinking about the cocktail party!

However, Nigri stressed that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, that there were only more than 3,300 people left in the second brigade, and that they were generally fatigued and other difficulties, which were also facts, and Fresso ordered Nigri to lead his troops to garrison the Daqingshan Fort, and the fifth brigade of Major General Beran to attack Zhennanguan. In order to increase the firepower, Frey not only allocated four artillery squadrons to the Fifth Brigade himself, but also asked Nigri to hand over some of the artillery. Nigri strongly opposed this, believing that weakening his own artillery Liliang would not be conducive to the defense of Daqingshan, and the position of Daqingshan was important, and once it was lost, the rear of the troops attacking Zhennanguan would be threatened. But Frey stubbornly believes that the Chinese are not capable of counterattacking Daqingshan, and as soon as several sheep intestine paths leading to Xiaoqingshan are blocked, only cliffs remain, can the Chinese grow wings and fly over? Zuihou Nigri had to transfer four artillery squadrons from his orders.

At the same time, a military meeting was being held at Zhennan Pass, and a tense atmosphere was enveloped in it, and the loss of the Daqingshan Fort meant that the thick-walled defensive position of Zhennan Pass had lost its protection, and it was about to face a frontal attack by the French army, which was indeed a grim moment.

Among them, Yang Yuke advocated immediately increasing troops to recapture Daqingshan: "The French army occupies Daqingshan, and there will be no worries about attacking Zhennanguan, which is not good for me." If we take advantage of the unstable foothold of the French army, our army will move out in a big way and fight to the death, or it is unknown whether it will be able to recapture Daqingshan. ＂

But Yuan Shikai disagreed, he proposed: "Both the enemy and I know the importance of Daqingshan, since the French army has occupied it, it is not easy to recapture it, but it will be chaotic, it is better to brake quietly and take the lead." The front defense of Zhennan Pass was solid, and let the French army meet and break the blood, and the spirit was completely lost, and our army sent out again to recapture Daqingshan. ＂

Xu Shichang agreed: "The French army is menacing this time, and it is very urgent to attack me, which is very different from usual. Maybe after the French army changed its handsome, the tactics changed? Or is there no longer a war within France? In short, the French are impetuous, in a hurry. The French army is in a hurry, and I am not in a hurry. and slowly negotiate with him, consuming his troops. ＂

All are good.

Subsequently, Feng Zicai ordered Su Yuanchun's troops to hold on to Xiaoqingshan, and sent Xu Shichang to bring people to send ammunition supplies. And let Yuan Shikai go to the thick wall to give advice and assist in the defense.

After Su Yuanchun and Pan Tingfeng retreated to Xiaoqingshan, they counted their subordinates, and more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded and captured. Fortunately, there were cliffs between the large and small green mountains, and several sheep intestine paths were blocked with boulders, so that the French army could not attack for the time being.

After a short period of assembly and preparation, on July 4, the French 5th Brigade began its attack on the thick-walled defensive area in front of Zhennan Pass. Commander Pétain had a relatively strong artillery force at this time, including eight artillery squadrons transferred from other units, with a total of more than 100 light and heavy guns of various types, including nearly 40 heavy guns, especially nine 120mm long-barreled cannons, which had a long range. The French army used this heavy artillery all day long, directly through the thick wall defense, and bombarded the Zhennan Pass, creating a certain panic in the city.

In view of the previous experience of attacking Daqingshan, there must have been a minefield at the front of the Chinese army's defensive position. You have to find a way to clear mines, how to do it?

Petain reported to Frey that he hoped that in a few days, he would be able to make a few thousand blasting canisters like Nigri and detonate them layer by layer.

But Frey categorically disagreed, making blasting canisters? How many days will it take? No, you're going to have to attack me right away! What to do with mines? There is a way! Let me go to the mines!

As for who to let go, it can't be French soldiers anyway, and of course it can't be those captured Chinese soldiers, and the Chinese will retaliate and abuse those captured French soldiers.

Unfortunately, it can only be the hapless Vietnamese. Originally, more than 200 people were captured on Daqing Mountain, and now they are just using it.

On the morning of 4 July, under the threat of bayonets, more than 200 Vietnamese prisoners of war were driven out of the woods and headed for the direction of the thick wall. These poor Vietnamese people also vaguely guessed that they were going to open the way, all of them were miserable, tearful, and begged bitterly to the back, just begging the other party to show some kindness and not let themselves be sent to death. But no matter who it is, if you stop a little, the bright bayonet will pierce your body, stabbing everyone bloody, and you have to move on, and there is no more tragedy in the world than this. No, there were even more than that, and that was the bayonet-armed troops, most of whom were even Vietnamese mercenaries in the French army.

In this way, the Vietnamese armed themselves with bayonets and forced other Vietnamese to go to the mines.

This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other!
