The battle on the sea was lively, and the land was equally fierce, long before Xu Jie led the team and Tsuboi Kozo fought to the death in the Izu Islands, the headquarters of Lieutenant General Nozu Michikan of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army was already in Asan and Cheng Huan met Nie Shicheng on the front line. The troops of the 5th Division were divided into three parts, of which the forward was led by the commander of the 10th Brigade, Tatsumi Naofumi, and the troops included the 1st Brigade of the 12th Wing, the 2nd Brigade of the 21st Wing, a squad and a detachment of the 3rd Squadron of the 5th Cavalry Brigade, and the 1st Squadron of the 5th Artillery Wing. The total number of people is more than 2,500. The headquarters of the 5th Division was divided into two marching regiments under the leadership of General Nozu Michikan himself. It includes the 22nd Infantry Wing, the 2nd Artillery Wing, the 12th Infantry Wing, the 5th Cavalry Brigade Headquarters and a squadron. The headquarters of the 5th Artillery Wing and a brigade and the 5th Engineer Brigade were formed. A total of nearly 6,000 people, in addition, there is a brigade of the 3rd Division, which is also temporarily under the direct command of Nozu Michikan, and its strength is the 18th Infantry Wing, the 1st Squadron of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Artillery Wing, and the 3rd Ordnance Brigade, with a total number of about 5,000 people. The total strength is 13,000 people. The Qing army, which was the defending side, was also strengthened during this period of time, with 2 battalions coming from the new Beiyang army and 7 battalions from the old army. The former has about 1,600 people and the latter 2,570. (The battalion of the new army was based on Xu Jie's establishment, while the old army was based on the old system of the Huai army.) One battalion is less than 500 people. Lao Li can't help this, if it is merged, how can those battalion heads that have been laid off or something? With the addition of some sappers and baggage personnel, it was about 11,000 people, and the Japanese number was slightly larger, but the Beiyang side had a geographical advantage. Overall, the two sides are half-hearted.

To say that Nie Shicheng has definitely not been idle these days. Before the Japanese army attacked, Nie Lao learned the lessons of the Oshima Brigade, that is, first, the fortress stacked with stones looks mighty, but in fact it is too sturdy, not to mention the bunker killer mortar, even the 75 row battalion cannon or even the 57 cannon can be knocked out, and it is so prominent, who can't hit it? Second, although the old Beiyang army is outnumbered, but it is okay to fight a good fight, if they are allowed to garrison the defense line, if they shake a little, it is very likely to cause the collapse of the whole line, so Nie Shicheng is higher than the in-depth defense of the Jiawu version, in addition to the outpost, a second or even a third line of defense is set up behind the main position, not to mention anything else, at least after the rout is down, there can be a place to regroup, right? Then, strong semi-underground fortifications were set up at key points as support points, so that after the position was lost, the whole line would not be shaken. Third, if you want to talk about how to stimulate the potential of the old Beiyang army, after in-depth discussion and research, Nie Shicheng, Shao Yu and others decided to have the following measures, first of all, in addition to killing a Japanese soldier and rewarding 5 taels of silver. For the war dead, those who have children at home can enter the factories under the jurisdiction of Beiyang for employment, and the treatment is preferential. For those who have no children but have elderly people to support, the Beiyang authorities can give a one-time alimony of 150 taels of silver, or provide support on a monthly basis. In a word, in addition to giving money, the rest is to solve the worries. Of course, if you escape or disobey orders, then forget it, you won't get anything. Don't say it, this is indeed much better than those who shout loyalty and patriotism. Although this method of money and "high welfare" works well, it still makes Nie Shicheng, Feng Yi and them smack their lips. As for the third point, it is a logistical problem, now that the sea routes are unblocked, coupled with a large number of merchant ships to be requisitioned, the logistics supply is relatively smooth, and with the effectiveness of the monetary lever, the soldiers still know that saving bullets can be replaced with copper plates. , so not only is it enough to consume, but there is also a surplus. But in order to think in the long run, Nie Shicheng still dredged the supply channels and set aside enough reserves. After a series of rearmaments. The Beiyang Army, which has been refreshed in morale replenishment equipment, is ready to fight a real big war to prove its worth. …,

There is a saying that goes like this: war is the best teacher. This sentence is certainly correct when used in the Qing army, but it is also not wrong to use it in the Japanese army! Although there was a lesson from Oshima Yoshimasa, Limi Shangwen still believed that Oshima Yoshimasa's failure was that the division of troops and his own logistics and artillery were directly bombarded in the port by Xu Jie's fast fleet. Without supplies and artillery, it could not be attacked for a long time, and the army was in chaos. As for himself, he had at least one artillery squadron, and the supply was quite smooth, so he decided to touch it first. So he immediately saw that Shangwen first mobilized a large group of troops to attack Yuefeng Mountain, how to say the specific situation? Faced with a high ground with a semi-underground trench defense system, the front is cleared, there are mines in the middle, and there are machine guns in the back. The results are conceivable. It is true to say that learning war in the midst of war is true. Tachimi Naofumi's attack is very similar to Oshima Yoshimasa's, both of which are realistic spearhead attacks, luring the opponent to expose the point of fire, and then the artillery focuses on the attack, and the infantry is loaded. As a result, this time, the spearhead went out, and before he reached 200 meters of the position, he was killed by the top shooters hiding in the trench, and the spearhead behind him was killed. Isn't this just going to die? (Historically, there were many deserters in Japan at the beginning.) At that time, the Japanese army was far from being as death-oriented as it was in the days of Japan and Russia. The courage to hit the machine gun. Immediately saw that the captain of Shangwen's team, Keizo Yamaguchi, saw that the top soldiers really did not have a way to find out the opponent's firepower. So what to do? Just change it to a feint, so a single death becomes a squadron-sized death. If you think about it, there are more than 1,000 front-line troops in Yuefeng Mountain, and more than 1,000 people have built fortifications and bunkers for more than half a month, can you let a squadron of people come out? The mines in front of me plus 2 machine guns alone were enough to deal with the more than 100 Japanese soldiers who were climbing the mountain, and it was also in the explosion of the mines and the roar of the two machine guns that this squadron directly left half of it. But at this time, the Japanese army had more eyes. As soon as the machine gun was exposed, it was immediately attacked by the Japanese 75mm field artillery and mountain artillery, and immediately saw that Shangwen couldn't help but show a sneer when he looked at the machine gun bunker with black smoke rising, since the machine gun bunker was pulled out, and the mines were also stepped on a lot. Then rush the rest. Then the charge at the brigade level began. And then directed a real tragedy.

To say that the Japanese artillery's marksmanship was really good, it did directly hit two exposed machine gun bunkers. However, the people guarding inside were from the Nanyang Chinese Brigade, and on the first day of training, they knew about the tragedy of using platoon guns and artillery to fire at each other in the Battle of Sedang. And under the cover of artillery, Tsumi Naowen was supervising the battle in the back, and Keizo Yamaguchi personally rushed forward with his second brigade. Don't say it, under the pressure of the officer's bullet, the rifles in the hands of both the old army and the new army of the Qing army did not fire in advance, and the first to fire in the Qing army was the 75mm howitzer arranged on the mountain! To say that the Krupp land artillery is really good, it is much stronger than the Japanese goods, not to mention that people are still condescending, right? This first row of shells did not hit the army, but aimed at the artillery squadron of Naomun immediately. To say that this calculation reference is really useful, immediately saw that Shang Wen also knew before the start of the war that the opponent's artillery condescending range must be far, so he also specially placed the artillery outside the effective range of the opponent, but he made a mistake, the effective range he calculated was presumed according to the Japanese army's direct fire standard, and Nie Shicheng's artillery was directly shot according to the reference object after Hannagen and other German instructors measured the reference object in advance, which is undoubtedly a lot farther. Then the tragedy happened, and the first round of shelling fell directly on the Japanese artillery positions, which frightened the Japanese who were fighting vigorously. The subsequent shelling after the correction became more and more accurate. Although the Japanese arranged the gun emplacements at a large enough distance, this fat blow still destroyed 4 of the 6 artillery pieces. The Japanese artillery was honest at once and retreated inside. And what about the infantry who rushed up? This matter is left to fate. …,

The first to fire was the machine gun, but this machine gun was not a machine gun in the direction of the Japanese attack, but a side arranged on both sides of the defense line to knock down the machine gun positions! Yamaguchi Shaosa, who was rushing to the front door, suddenly heard the sound of gunfire like popping beans behind him. The first feeling is that the Qing army is coming to sneak attack from behind? Is there such a stupid army? The answer is obviously no, the lethality of this burst of strafing is actually relatively average, but people have a nature, when there is danger behind, people will subconsciously stop and turn their heads. Something will happen here. When is this? This is when the army is attacking the top of the mountain. Aren't you looking for death when you stop and stand up straight, and turn your head to look back? Therefore, the attacking Japanese army must and must be tragic. From Shao Yu's direction, it was obvious that hundreds of targets had been erected on the hillside. So what's polite? Machine guns, rifles, grenades, mortars, a burst of greetings. The entire hillside was instantly covered in smoke and scattered shrapnel. The vast majority of Japanese troops were swept down by bullets and shrapnel scurrying in the air before they could react. There are also some who are more clever, knowing to immediately lie down and then raise the rifle in their hand and shoot in the direction they think there is an enemy. And some of them are more clever than the previous two, they also lie down, but instead of shooting, they slowly "turn in" to the back. The unilateral massacre naturally did not last long, and after ten minutes, except for a small number of Japanese troops who had withdrawn, only the corpses of the Japanese soldiers and the wounded Japanese soldiers who were about to become corpses were left on the hillside. Among them was the Yamaguchi Shosa, the first mid-level Japanese officer to hang on Mt. Tsukimine.

And Lijian Shangwen, who suffered a big loss, looked at the hundreds of corpses on the mountain and the wounded soldiers who had withdrawn, there were 2,400 people when they came, and now there are less than 1,800 people who can fight, and a brigade was disabled, with an artillery squadron. For the sake of now, it is impossible to storm the storm, and it can only be delayed. Fortunately, Nozu came quite quickly. And the big drama of the tragic attack and defense battle of Yuefeng Mountain also kicked off with the arrival of the protagonists!
