The devils of the two brigades who were ordered to attack did not know that they had actually been abandoned by Nishio. Encouraged by the two captains. They thought they had come to reap the fruits of victory. They rushed to the river beach shouting the slogan "Annihilation of the people", and the next moment, when the sound of shells breaking through the air suddenly sounded overhead, many devils were dumbfounded. "Eight squares! The people of China have cannons! Lie down! "A devil who thought he was clever screamed and threw himself on the riverbank.

On the contrary, when there were cannonballs flying overhead, watching those fleeting fireballs explode a huge ball of fire thousands of kilometers away, the originally nervous mood of the North Shore Cadets instantly relaxed a lot, and some cadets proudly said: "Our cannon!" With a grin, a mouthful of white teeth was revealed. Everyone is a veteran and knows what it means to have artillery support and not to have artillery support during the battle. Several company platoon commanders originally wanted to organize their brothers to launch a counter-charge, but at this time they changed their minds: "Bury your head low for Lao Tzu, if you are killed by your own people, it will be too unjust!" ”

"Boom!" A cannonball exploded about ten meters away from Nishio, and Qi Lang attacked, several gendarmes around him were hit by shrapnel, and fell down with a wail, and one of the gendarmes was directly lifted away by Qi Lang, howling in the air, and then became a dead man with broken limbs.

The cannon sounded, and the staff officers and guards around Nishio were extremely nervous, they didn't know what was wrong, but one thing was affirmed, that is, they had been exposed. One huge fireball after another whistled and smashed in, and judging from the sound of the cannonballs breaking through the air, it should have landed nearby—if something happened to Nishio, then they wouldn't want to live.

Nishio was thrown to the ground by a staff officer, and when he shook his head and shook off the dust on his face and raised his head, the first thing that caught his eye was a severed hand. Rao is he has seen more life and death, and he can't help but be shocked at this moment, and then scolded angrily: "Eight grids! "The staff officer was already dead, his blood smeared Nishio's body, and the others thought that Nishio was also injured when they saw this, and under the command of the chief of staff, Machikurayoshi, several gendarmes came over with a stretcher, and without saying a word, Nishio was put on the board, and then ran away with it.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! "Some of the middle and lower-ranking Japanese officers had no idea what was going on, and realized that if they stayed here, they would only be blown up or even burned, and they shouted loudly and instinctively directed the troops to withdraw to the north.

After the shelling, there will inevitably be ambushes, and many devil officers have given this follow-up content after the end of this round of shelling, completely unaware that at this time in this area, the so-called enemy army is only about one regiment.

The orderly retreat turned into a rout, which was something that Nishio Toshizo and Yoshio Jotsuka had not expected. However, in the midst of the continuous shelling, even if they had the intention to organize their troops better, how many people would be able to listen? The explosion of 150-millimeter shells was earth-shattering, and in this poplar forest alone, more than 100 devils were stunned on the spot, and devils who were temporarily deaf abounded. In such a situation, even if those middle- and low-ranking officers can carry out orders well, they will not be able to bring together the wrong in a short period of time.

The rout of the large forces caused panic among the attacking troops. On the river beach, after the cannon sounded, the counterattack of the cadets became sharper and sharper. Qian Shuanglin and other ruthless people seized the opportunity, stood up directly and held a rifle to shoot, and the devils who rushed to the front had no resistance and fell in pieces in the rain of bullets.

In a single soldier pit in the first line of defense dug by Qian Shuanglin's organization, a student named Ma Yishan was awakened by the sound of a violent explosion. In the battle not long ago, he was hit by a bullet in the helmet and was directly stunned, so he didn't know about the support led by Ye Zhao. He opened his eyes a little dazed, and then instinctively tightened his grip on the rifle in front of him. The position he was in now was less than thirty meters away from the devil who rushed to the front. In his position, at this moment, the gunfire behind him was more intense. The familiar sound of the guns unique to the Weiqing firearms shocked him who had just woken up, and he looked behind him, just in time to see Qian Shuanglin and the others standing up and shooting. He looked up at Qian again, and saw that at the same time as a group of devils fell, the devils in the rear had begun to rout, and a little farther away, the explosions there were ringing one after another, and in the fire caused by the explosion, the devil soldiers retreated like a tide - in Ma Yishan's combat career, such a scene did not appear for the first time, and in his impression, there was often only one possibility for the appearance of this kind of scene - when his own reinforcements arrived, the little devils began to rout.

When the battle was the hardest, Ma Yishan called for reinforcements more than once in his heart, and it was for this reason that when the word "reinforcements" suddenly flashed from his mind, he stood up as soon as he was excited, and shouted while shooting fiercely at the devil: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, rush!" ”

After shouting this, he had already put down two devils. He jumped out of the pit and continued to shout: "Kill! "Regardless of it, he ran forward.

The sudden artillery support on the north shore made many of the cadets more confident. They were already in a rather excited state, but when they heard Ma Yishan's shout, the few apprentices closest to him were hot-headed, and immediately jumped out of the individual pit, and then rushed towards the Japanese army queue after him. They rushed and shouted, "Our reinforcements have arrived!" "Brothers! Come on! ”

Ma Yishan was at the forefront, and the guns on the battlefield were so loud that only those who were closer to him could hear his words clearly. However, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and soon, everyone knew that the "reinforcements" had arrived.

"Do you hear me, our reinforcements have arrived!"

"Reinforcements have arrived, brothers, rush!"

……

When reinforcements arrived, it was natural to launch a counteroffensive immediately afterwards - it was only natural that it would happen. More and more students joined the ranks of the counteroffensive, and even Ye Zhao was affected in the last - "Reinforcements have arrived?" Which part? He still asked a little ignorantly, but the next moment, he was driven by two guards and joined the ranks of the counterattack.

Affected by the battle situation in the rear, the devils of the two brigades attacking were already flustered, and now, when they heard the students on the opposite side shouting "Reinforcements have arrived", they looked around in panic, and suddenly found that in the deep night on the three sides, it seemed that they did not know how many enemies were hidden in the road, and immediately, their morale was drained to the end, and they no longer had the courage to fight a decisive battle.

When the Japanese army fell into a rout, Ye Zhao ordered "poor and not chasing" and began to collect the troops, the students remembered the so-called students, and they asked each other: "What about the reinforcements?" Which part? ”

There are no reinforcements, and they are the only ones who have participated in the counteroffensive from beginning to end. This situation was finally reflected to Ye Zhao, and he realized that the so-called reinforcements were just created out of thin air, and he broke out in a cold sweat, and then he laughed and said: "Which kid shouted that the reinforcements were coming first, find them out for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu wants to promote him in the line of fire - this kid is more divine than Zhuge Liang!" This suspicious tactic is really well used! ”
