124 The tide of battle took a sharp turn
The herald on horseback said, "Hurry up to the north to help!" ”
When the Japanese soldiers heard two different orders, they didn't know who to listen to for a while, and they were all stunned on the spot, and the herald thought to himself: "Could it be that the wing commander has changed the order again, and I rushed over when I got the order, and if I want to change the order, they don't have horses, how can they run in front of me!" ”
Chen Fei was wearing an officer's uniform, and he just wanted to say that the herald was disguised by the Qing army, but he heard someone in the Japanese army calling: "Hamada-san, what order did the joint commander give?" ”
After the Japanese got to know each other, the way of addressing them became the form of "surname Gasan", which means respect, and this "San" is a transliteration of Japanese, which can be translated as "Mr. or Madam" in different contexts, and that "Hamada-san" is called the herald.
In this way, it was proved that the herald could not be dressed as a Qing army, and the Japanese army looked at Chen Fei and them, and suddenly became vigilant.
The herald took off his gun, glared at him and asked, "Which squadron are you?" How have I never seen you! ”
Chen Fei had an idea and said, "When did the wing captain change the order?" Go and meet the enemy, we're going to inform others, let's go! ”
After speaking, Chen Fei waved his hand, but the problem arose at this time! On this occasion, Chen Fei didn't dare to say a word of Chinese, the pronunciation of Chinese and Japanese is very different, as long as he said a word of Chinese, he would be immediately recognized by the Japanese army, so Chen Fei spoke in Japanese, but the twenty Qing soldiers couldn't understand Japanese! So when Chen Fei said "let's go", they didn't react to what to do at all!
Chen Fei waved his hand twice, and the Qing soldiers reacted and began to follow him, but the Japanese soldiers were not stupid, and they immediately saw that something was wrong, and the herald pushed the bullet into the chamber with a "bang", and shouted: "You are the Zhina!" ”
Chen Fei raised his hand and shot the herald off his horse, and then shouted loudly: "Shoot!" ”
This sentence was shouted in Chinese, so the Qing soldiers all understood, these people went through Chen Fei's special training, and they were very fast from raising their guns to aiming, so the Qing soldiers fired first, and the Japanese soldiers fell a few, and the others hurried to find cover, and Chen Fei led people to fight and retreat.
Taking advantage of the dark night, Chen Fei and his people quickly escaped. One of the soldiers asked, "Shangguan, where are we going?" ”
Chen Fei said without thinking: "Go!" Let's go to a place where there are a lot of Japanese troops! ”
What they didn't expect was that the Japanese soldiers who had been fooled by them passed by other tents at the same time, and involuntarily passed on false orders, causing many people to go south.
The Japanese army's strategy of holding on was indeed very successful, and the tactical literacy of the Japanese soldiers was generally higher than that of the Qing soldiers, taking shooting as an example, at a distance of nearly 100 meters, the hit rate of the Japanese soldiers was close to 70 percent, but the Qing soldiers were much worse, and for a time, the Qing soldiers were pressed by the accurate marksmanship of the Japanese soldiers under the sandbag wall and could not lift their heads.
Lin Yuan also knew that the Qing soldiers were poor in archery, and there was no way, who let the Qing court's production capacity be too poor and could not provide enough bullets for training, so he specially sent ten guards thunder cannons to the Qing army that attacked at night, and the Qing soldiers set up cannons behind the sandbag wall, and the first wave of ten shells howled and pounced on the Japanese army.
The shells exploded behind the side of the sandbag wall, and the flying shrapnel engulfed the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the wall in an instant, and the Qing soldiers took advantage of this time to rush out, and the Japanese soldiers who were not killed hurriedly got up and shot back, but it was too late, and the Qing soldiers had already rushed to the front.
The Murata 22-year-old rifle used by the Japanese army will drop when the bayonet is installed, the shooting accuracy will decrease, so the Japanese soldiers generally do not add bayonets when fighting, and when they see the Qing soldiers rushing to the front, it is too late to think about the bayonet, and it is even more too late to reload the bullet to shoot, and in a panic, they simply stab the Qing army with a bayonet in their hands, even if the shooting level of the Qing army is worse, it is impossible to hit a 160 cm tall person when facing each other, so the Qing army soon occupied the sandbag wall outside several tents.
The tactical literacy of the Japanese commanders was still good, as soon as they saw that the Qing army had brought artillery, they knew that the tactics of holding behind the sandbag wall were no longer effective, and they quickly ordered to attack on all fronts and start a white-knuckle battle with the Qing army!
The Japanese army has always paid attention to shooting training on the march, so it still suppressed a lot of the Qing army's firepower during the impact, although the Qing army occupied a favorable defensive position, it still allowed the Japanese army to rush to the front.
The length of the Murata 22-year-old rifle used by the Japanese army is close to 1300 mm, and the length of the Murata 13-year-style bayonet equipped with the gun is close to 600 mm.
The processing of the bayonet is still relatively difficult, because it has to cooperate with the rifle, so the accuracy of the size must be ensured, and during the Qing Dynasty, the processing capacity was very poor, so the Qing army was rarely equipped with bayonets, and the Qing court was unwilling to pay for these things that did not look as good as broadswords and spears, so on this night, the Japanese army had the advantage!
The Japanese army was stuck in the pile of Qing soldiers again, so it was not easy for the Qing troops behind to shoot, so the two sides fought in the 300-meter-deep section at the camp gate.
The Japanese army shouted at the moment of shooting, on the one hand, in order to concentrate the strength of the body, and on the other hand, to shock the opponent, such a blow was very fast, and it was difficult for the Qing soldiers to resist! Often a single shot can stab a Qing soldier to death, and what is even more difficult: the Qing army has no melee weapons in their hands! The battlefield suddenly appeared one-sided, and the screams of Qing soldiers were all over the place!
When faced with a bayonet that can be pierced into the body at any time, everyone will have more or less fear in their hearts, and a well-trained soldier can control this fear and use it as a motivation to kill the enemy! But this Qing army unit is different, they came to join the army just to eat, and it is no problem to fight a good fight, but if they encounter a headwind battle, they will think in their hearts: "The battle is going to be lost, if you don't run again, the guys who eat and play with women won't be able to keep it!" ”
At this time, it depends on the commander, if the commander takes the lead, he can still control the scene, if the commander runs first, then the army will be defeated. The commander was a drunken man, and the battlefield was full of crying fathers and cries he could understand, and howls he couldn't understand, and even though he couldn't understand the meaning of the howls, he could feel it in his tone, full of excitement and madness.
These voices and the Japanese army in the firelight collapsed the defense line in his heart, and he involuntarily retreated backwards, and when he retreated, the other soldiers also retreated, and the Qing soldiers behind were still marching into the camp, and the two sides squeezed, and the Qing army's battle array was chaotic, and the Japanese army took advantage of the situation to cover up.
Just when the Qing army was about to be defeated, there was an earth-shaking explosion in the depths of the Japanese military camp!
