210 Ambush in the wilderness

[1/6] Throughout the ages, the first thing a fleeing soldier had to do was throw away his gun. Anyone who has ever touched a gun knows that guns are very heavy, and the design of weapons, especially light weapons, will be based on the user's body shape when designing, for example, weapons for Westerners will be used by Easterners to be larger, because Westerners are larger.

The Mauser 1888 in the hands of the Qing army was designed for Westerners, its uneasy hand can be imagined, the weight of ten catties is painful, and one point, its gun body is very long, and the design of the gun belt is not too good, so if you carry the gun on your body, it will shake around, for a person who runs at full speed, there is an iron rod more than one meter long and shaking, it is a nightmare!

At the beginning, the three squadrons of the Japanese army could still maintain the battle formation, but Yamabin Genji kept ordering the soldiers to speed up, and gradually the Japanese squadron scattered inside, and a faster group of people ran in the front. was chasing, Shan Bin Yuaner's staff officer suddenly said: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, isn't this group of Qing troops cheating?" ”

Yamabin Motoji stopped his horse and asked, "What did you say?" ”

The staff officer also stopped his horse and said: "Look at this group of Qing troops, [2/6] their running speed is quite fast, we have dealt with them before, very few Qing soldiers can run so fast, this group of people looks like they are selected from many people, and you see that when they run, they are always more than 400 meters away from us, or running in a big arc, in this case, it is difficult for us to shoot them in the back." ”

Shan Bin Yuan Erha said with a smile: "This group of people can run, doesn't it mean that they are the elite of the Qing army!" The elite must have been led by Lin Yuan himself! This is a good opportunity given to us by God, waiting to capture Lin Yuan alive and let His Majesty the Emperor award us a medal! ”

The staff officer said again: "I'm afraid this is a trick by Lin Yuan's envoy, the purpose is to attract us over, and then they can ambush us!" ”

Shan Bin Yuanji smiled and said: "You have too much heart, this is all wilderness, how can Lin Yuan have a place to ambush us!" With that, he stopped talking, and continued to move on!

The terrain of the plain is also undulating, and after the Japanese army followed the Qing army up a big slope, suddenly a shell exploded beside him, and shrapnel knocked down five Japanese soldiers!

The Japanese troops in front suddenly realized that they might have been ambushed, but the commander did not react and did not give any orders, and at this moment, [3/6] the sound of shells piercing the sky sounded one after another in the sky!

To the surprise of the Japanese soldiers: these shells are very ghostly! Ordinary shells explode after landing, and shrapnel is scattered into the sky, so people can avoid most of them as long as they lie down, but these shells explode directly in the air, and every time they explode, the shrapnel will cover a radius of more than ten meters, and the people inside are either dead or injured!

More and more explosions sounded, and Shan Bin Yuanji raised his binoculars in the direction where the shells were coming from, and saw that 2,000 meters away, many Qing soldiers in white were manipulating short artillery and attacking the Japanese army!

This is Lin Yuan's real ambush force! With their excellent camouflage in the snow, they deceived the Japanese who were busy pursuing!

And the Qing army that threw guns and cannons and fled in a hurry was arranged by Lin Yuan, and the reason why the fleeing Qing army was able to retreat under the pursuit of the Japanese army was because Lin Yuan picked out the most capable people in the Dingwu army!

If it weren't for the false information sent by Chen Fei to the Japanese army, if there was no deliberate defeat of the Qing army arranged by Lin Yuan, and if there was no snow camouflage designed by Lin Yuan, it would be impossible to fight this ambush battle in the wilderness!

Some of the Qing soldiers who ran back to their own team, some bent down and retched vigorously, [4/6] vomiting acid water in their stomachs, and some were lying on the ground, with their eyes closed, panting for breath......

Lin Yuan looked at the soldiers who were exhausted in order to lure the enemy, and said to the orderly soldiers around him: "Keep the list of soldiers who participated in the lure of the enemy, and each person will be recorded for military merit." ”

The Japanese army is not vegetarian, they reacted immediately after receiving a few shots, they scattered in all directions, which can effectively reduce the killing of shells, Yamabin Genji felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling, it turned out that Lin Yuan was not so stupid, the Qing army that broke and fled was just a bait, and only by winning such an opponent could there be a sense of achievement!

At this time, the Japanese army was on the west side, Lin Yuan's ambush artillery was on the east side, and Shan Bin Yuanji ordered that all of them disperse, and with the squad as a unit, they outflanked the south and north sides in a roundabout way, encircling and annihilating Lin Yuan!

Looking at the subordinates who were scattered to attack, Shan Bin Yuanji sneered: "Lin Yuan, let's see who is the bait!" "Yamabin Genji, who is eager to fight, forgets that in this battlefield, he does not have a numerical advantage.

The Japanese troops who wanted to outflank them from the north had to run more than 2,000 meters, and just as they were marching, [5/6] in front of them, countless gunshots suddenly rang out, and it was another ambush unit of the Qing army!

Lin Yuan, like most people, first understood the Japanese army from movies and TV series, where the Japanese army always liked to charge head-on, Lin Yuan later learned that the tactics of the real Japanese army were completely different from those in the movies and TV series, and the Japanese army liked to attack the flank of the defender's position the most.

Lin Yuan, who was familiar with this, knew that after discovering their artillery positions, the Japanese army would definitely outflank them from both sides, so he arranged ambush troops on both sides, and the advantage in strength made his deployment easy, suppressing the Japanese army's attempt to outflank in one fell swoop.

The soldiers of the Dingwu Army have been trained by Lin Yuan, and their tactical quality has been greatly improved, especially in shooting training and earthwork, the Qing soldiers who ambushed here, everyone dug a single bunker, this kind of individual bunker is very simple, but very practical, that is, dig a shallow pit in the ground that can be climbed down, and put the excavated soil in front of them, so that people can hide inside and shoot outside.

And the Japanese army was miserable, they had nowhere to avoid in the wilderness, they rushed forward and were killed by dense and accurate fire, and they were killed and injured by shrapnel flying in the air when they retreated, and they were in a dilemma for a while!

[6/6] To make matters worse for the Japanese troops, they were already exhausted after long runs, and they ran slower and their marksmanship was inaccurate.

The outflanking Japanese army on the north side was blocked, and the Japanese army on the south side was much better, and the distance they ran was smaller than that on the north side, so they quickly approached the artillery position of the Qing army.

The infantry on the artillery emplacements also picked up their rifles and attacked the Japanese!

Shan Bin Yuanji was keenly aware: the south side is the turning point of the battle, if we concentrate our forces and take the position of the Qing army from the south side of the slope, then we can take Lin Yuan's command in one fell swoop, and the Qing army will collapse without a fight!

Yamabin Genji quickly ordered the Japanese troops on the north side to withdraw and attack the south side, and just as the Japanese troops on the north side were retreating, another situation appeared in favor of the Japanese army. Didn't the Japanese run away in pursuit? At this time, the Japanese army that was lagging behind caught up, combined forces, and attacked the Qing army on the south side!

Yamabin Genji has already seen the dawn of victory!
