If what happened to Takeda's right flank was a tragedy, then what happened to the main force led by Oshima was a tragedy! After waiting for the pine forest at the eastern foot of Oshima Tsukimine Mountain, the main force of more than 2,000 people led by Oshima, he could not get news of Takedabu for a long time, and it was not until Takeda's messenger arrived that Oshima Yoshimasa learned that Takeda Hideyama's troops were blocked in the village of Jialongli and could not advance, and learned that the Qing army was armed with weapons similar to Maxine machine guns and a large number of mines. This information made Yoshimasa Oshima very uneasy, he had no food, no ammunition, not to mention, and even no artillery, how did you let him attack the fortification? But if you don't occupy Yuefeng Mountain, the return of your own army will be completely over. So Oshima ordered to start an attack immediately, as long as the first and second forts on the Moon Peak Mountain were taken down, a gap was torn open, and a retreat was hurried.

THE ATTACK BEGAN WITH THE BOMBARDMENT OF FOUR JAPANESE 75MM FIELD GUNS, FOLLOWED BY THE ATTACK OF THREE SQUADRONS OF JAPANESE TROOPS ON THE RIGHT FLANK OF FORTRESS NO. 1. At the same time, Oshima's opponent Nie Shicheng also made sufficient plans for this battle, his purpose was not only to hold Cheng Huan, but to find ways to completely eat the more than 2,000 people of Oshima Yoshimasa, so Nie Shicheng's plan was that the remaining two companies of the Nanyang New Army with two battalions in the old army totaling more than 1,400 people went around to the rear of Oshima Yoshimasa to cut off his way back, while the main force of more than 3,000 people under Nie Shicheng consumed the opponent in the front and launched a fatal blow. In order to ensure frontal firepower, Nie Shicheng also specially assigned 4 1890 heavy machine guns to No. 1 fortress.

These 4 heavy machine guns did play a mainstay role in the face of the first wave of attacking Japanese troops, and the bullets fired from the 4 machine guns with a condescending shooting range firmly suppressed the Japanese troops who rushed to the middle of the mountain, and the Qing artillery arranged in the 3rd and 4th fortresses of Yuefeng Mountain also began to shell the charging Japanese army, in the face of this absolute firepower advantage of the Qing army, it was indeed difficult for the Japanese army of less than 600 people to attack, but there is a saying called happiness and sorrow, Just when the Qing troops defending Fort No. 1 were like whack-a-moles, clearing out the Japanese troops who did not find suitable cover one by one. Oshima Yoshimasa's 4 75 guns aimed at the Qing army's machine gun position on the hill! Perhaps it was because the old Qing army wanted to give full play to the firepower advantage of the machine guns, or perhaps it was the habit of suppressing bandits, the officers of the old army did not consider the transfer of machine guns at all, and the Qing artillery at the No. 3 and 4 fortresses of Yuefeng Mountain could not reach the Japanese artillery positions in the pine forest at the foot of the mountain, so the tragedy occurred! The Japanese artillerymen, who had already completed the range, sent the shells into the two machine gun positions very quickly, and with the dull sound of explosions, the Qing troops of the 18 soldiers of the two machine gun groups were wiped out in an instant, and the remaining two machine gun groups began to prepare to transfer their positions in a hurry, and in a hurry, they did not even take away the spare ammunition boxes. The firepower of the Qing army, which lost 2 heavy machine guns in an instant, immediately weakened, and at this time, the second wave of Oshima Yoshimasa's offensive had also begun, and the infantry of the 2 squadrons rushed forward, which was basically nearly half of the troops in Oshima's hands. The Qing troops garrisoned at Fort No. 1 were less than 600 men, and most of the forts were destroyed by artillery. In the white-knuckle battle after the row of guns, the artillery of the No. 3 and No. 4 fortresses of the Qing army was also useless.

"It seems that the old army's Su zhì is really not as good as the Japanese army." Nie Shicheng looked through the telescope and looked at the Qing and Japanese armies fighting each other in the No. 1 fortress. It is obvious that the old Qing army, which was aimed at mixing up food, was inferior to the Japanese army, which already had a sense of national consciousness, both in terms of training level and courage. After losing the superior firepower, it is obviously a little unbearable to face the superior enemy forces in the white-knuckle battle. However, Nie Shicheng still has a backhand, the Qing artillery after accepting the troops and equipment transported by the Gao Sheng, already has 20 cannons, Nie Shicheng sent the lighter, shorter range 75 mountain guns and 37 guns and 57 guns to the two fortresses of Yuefeng Mountain No. 3 and 4, but the 75 field guns with a longer range were arranged at the foot of Yuefeng Mountain and some places on the mountain that could not be fired directly, and were ready to try the Qing army's first indirect aiming and shooting. For this first indirect shooting, the officers and students of the Tianjin Wubei Academy and the German instructors put in too much effort. First, Qing technicians and German instructors had to increase the firing angle of the existing guns, secondly, they had to adjust the charge of the shells according to tactical needs, and finally, they had to test fire a large number of shells to determine a new firing meter. And this qiē is only a material preparation, the teachers and students of the Tianjin Wubei Academy also have to work out new tactics and transmission mechanisms with German instructors, through guò to calibrate the battlefield reference, and cooperate with the observation post plus the artillery commander's own ability, finally completed the theoretical work and practical work of artillery indirect fire before the start of the war, and now it is time to test the power of indirect fire in battle! …,

The artillery at the bottom of the mountain was a total of 4 guns, which were specially designed to deal with the Japanese troops on the top of the mountain, because they were aimed directly at the back. In addition, the reference object has been calibrated, so the accuracy will be higher. The six guns used for indirect firing were to block the follow-up troops of the Japanese army close to the mountain, and although the firing range was very small because of the barrier of the mountain, it was originally the first actual battle. Nie Shicheng didn't have much hope either. "Military Gate, our troops stationed at Fort 1 have withdrawn, and the Japanese are building positions. It's time to go. Feng Yihe on the side said. Let's go. Raze Fort 1 to the ground. Nie Shicheng said with regret. This battle situation really made Nie Shicheng a little embarrassed, his own artillery was superior, although the strength was less, but Lao Nie knew that the strength was not the fundamental reason, even if he sent reinforcements, under the same circumstances, the combat effectiveness of the old Qing army was still worse than that of the Japanese army. This is still the troops that Beiyang has been operating for many years, and those troops that have been urgently expanded because of preparations for war will have even lower combat effectiveness. If there was no new army, Nie Shicheng really didn't know how to fight this battle.

Just as the Japanese army cheered and occupied Fort No. 1 and prepared to take Fort No. 2. The main artillery group of the Qing army, which has been dormant for a long time, has finally become powerful! Together with the artillery previously used for support, a full 20 artillery pieces began to rain bullets at the No. 1 fortress of Yuefeng Mountain! Referring to the reference objects and firing tables that had been calibrated for a long time, and after the precise calculations of the students of the Armament Academy, these 20 guns exerted their combat effectiveness beyond people's imagination. Accompanied by the roar of artillery, shells fell on the Japanese troops occupying the hill and the follow-up units, and the projection of more than 1 ton per minute was scattered over the Japanese assault positions and the positions of Fortress No. 1. High-explosive bombs filled with picric acid, grenade bombs spread the rain of death. The entire hill was covered in flames in an instant. The more than 300 Japanese troops who rushed forward were instantly swept down by a small half, and the follow-up troops were simply directly blocked by artillery fire. Even if the Japanese army has occupied the surface position, but in the face of fierce artillery, the Japanese occupation has become meaningless, although there is no enemy on the mountain, but they can't stay, let alone consolidate the position, expand the breakthrough or consolidate the gap. After 10 minutes of intensive artillery bombardment, most of the Japanese troops at Fort 1 were either killed or wounded. Even if they were slightly injured by luck, under the high-intensity artillery strike, the spirit of the soldiers was completely crushed. "They are like a bunch of unthinking animals, huddled in a corner with their heads in their hands, and they are not willing to leave an unsafe corner by the commander, who are not willing to kick or even threaten them with guns." At that time, one of the surviving military cao, described the situation of the Japanese army at that time.

Yoshimasa Oshima looked at the miserable situation of his troops on the hillside, and trembled with anger, he was not only angry because he had lost the battle, but rose to the level of "national righteousness". If it weren't for the fact that the red deer in the navy started the war without authorization, and they lost the battle, and they were unlucky with the army, would they have let the artillery of the Qing army fight so badly? Now what? The first is to retreat, prepare to join up with the right flank, and go another way. The other is to continue to attack. The latter is obviously impossible, nearly 400 people were killed and wounded in this wave, how do you say this battle will be fought? According to his estimates, Nie Shicheng's troops had at least 3,000 to 4,000 people on the opposite Yuefeng Mountain, and as for the artillery, it was several times that of him. But just when he was preparing to plan the follow-up battle arrangement, there was a fire in the rear.

"Okay?" In the woods 800 meters behind Oshima's Yoshima artillery group, a small group of Chinese armed forces was installing a large killing weapon, and behind them, more and more Chinese soldiers came up and each looked for cover to build a blocking position. A team of 4 people, with the help of others, quickly assembled a small cannon, which was similar to the Maxin machine gun in appearance, but much larger and with a caliber of 37MM. The ammunition is also fed with a 25-round drum. This is the new weapon launched by Maxim Dunfield, the 37MM gun! This is the weapon in Peng Haifeng's mouth that can shoot 400 shells a minute! THE WEIGHT IS ONLY 145KG (IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 185, BUT CONSIDERING THE PORTABILITY AND THE NEED TO MAINTAIN CONTINUOUS FIRING ABILITY, SOME PARTS SUCH AS COOLING WATER BUCKETS WERE REMOVED), PLUS THE GUN MOUNT, CAN BARELY BE CARRIED BY COMPANY-LEVEL TROOPS. And because of the curved trajectory and ultra-high rate of fire, it is definitely a super killer weapon for unprotected soft targets, and after a short period of preparation, the Chinese gunners have firmly locked the Japanese artillery not far away, and now, this weapon that has been put into the battlefield for the first time is finally ready to start to wield! …,

"This weapon is like its predecessor, the Maxine machine gun, the rate of fire is extremely high, but it is more terrifying than the Maxine machine gun, in just a few seconds, he can hit dozens of shells on your position, powerful enough to destroy an artillery squad!" AFTERWARDS, AN UNKNOWN JAPANESE ARTILLERY LIEUTENANT COMMENTED ON THE 37MM GUN. The actual situation is indeed as the Japanese officer said, after the first shell fell on the Japanese artillery position, the Chinese gunners after minor adjustments, after minor adjustments, ran out of 25 rounds of ammunition in 8 seconds! Dense shells covered the entire Japanese artillery position in a matter of seconds. The detonated ammunition completely destroyed the only Japanese artillery position, and an artillery squad did not run out of the heat, in the midst of shattered shrapnel and violently burning flames. All you can hear is the crackling of shells, the crackling of the wooden ammunition boxes as they burn, and the occasional screams. And after the shelling, the Japanese could not even determine where the attack of the opposing side came from! After all, the whole attack process only took a few seconds, and the hit was still a curved projectile. Fired from behind the bunker.

However, this is enough for Oshima Yoshimasa to judge the situation, his rear road is broken, and the troops who cut off his back road still have artillery. And after the artillery was attacked, there were less than 2,000 troops under his command. "You must retreat quickly, otherwise when the Qing army rushes down from Yuefeng Mountain, there will be no chance." Yoshimasa Oshima decisively ordered his troops to discard a single unwanted bottle and jar. Throw away everything except food and weapons. Prepare to retreat after a little preparation! But it's a pity that the brothers of the Chinese brigade will not give them a chance. After knocking out the opponent's artillery position, the 60 and 82 mortars in the two companies of the Chinese assault battalion began to shell the targets that had been exposed, the Japanese army was gathering the troops that had been routed from the front line, it was already very chaotic, and now after being violently shelled, it was even more chaotic, the Japanese army had never seen such a weapon with such a high rate of fire, with the piercing scream of the shells crossing the sky, the flowers of death bloomed in the rear of the Japanese army, And human nature made the Japanese troops who were bombarded subconsciously retreat in the direction of Yuefeng Mountain, and this happened to be crowded with the retreating Japanese troops, and the so-called establishment has been completely broken. The officer could not find the soldier, and the soldier could not find his superior. The army after the chaos practically no longer has any combat effectiveness.

Seeing that his retreat plan had turned into a rout due to a sudden change. Oshima Yoshimasa knew that it had reached the most critical moment, and now he was absolutely hesitating, so, after gathering a few hundred people, Oshima Yoshimasa personally led the team to charge in the direction of the artillery bombardment. The only feasible plan is to launch a counter-charge in the direction of the opponent's attack. But what can a pig with a few hundred men do in the face of a defensive force with machine guns and mortars? Faced with a rain of bullets like flying locusts, swaths of Japanese troops were swept down in the way of the charge. And Oshima Yoshimasa also became the first high-ranking Japanese officer to be killed by a machine gun. The Japanese army's decisive counterattack was also collapsed by the death of Yoshimasa Oshima. At the same time, Nie Shicheng, who was on Yuefeng Mountain, also began to rush down. A large number of old Beiyang troops, supported by a few machine guns, cut into the chaotic Japanese army and successfully divided it. After the Japanese army was hit repeatedly, the officers could not effectively collect the remnants, and it was only a matter of time before they were annihilated, except for a few diehards, most of the Japanese troops who had gone to the general trend chose to surrender, and in this way, the main force of the Oshima Yoshimasa Brigade was extremely sad and lacked supplies and ammunition to face the Qing army that was waiting for work at ease and had absolute superiority. In less than a day, the army was wiped out.
