The British army launched an attack again, this time the attack, no longer so careless, the artillery behind provided fire support, the front of the Lu army's position was suppressed by fire, an infantry regiment charged in front, two infantry battalions slowly advanced in the back, ready to shoot at any time, providing rifle fire suppression, there is no way, the current British army is not equipped with heavy machine guns, can only be suppressed with rifle fire.

On the second line of defense of the Red Mountain fortifications, the temporary headquarters was here, Zhang Suimou held a telescope in his hand, watching the British army attack in the distance, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's not that the Lu army doesn't attack, but to use the firepower of the attack on the blade, the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the difference is too great, he only has two regiments here, and the strength of the other two regiments is deployed in Niu Qingshan, the strength of the two regiments, more than 3,000 people, facing the strength of the British army is enough for two divisions, more than 30,000 people! With a tenfold difference in strength, if you don't use your firepower on the blade, you won't be able to withstand it for a long time!

Well, now that the opponent's artillery attack has been going on for more than an hour, almost all the positions of the two artillery battalions have been exposed, and now it's time to change the counterattack yourself!

Not only the Red Mountain, together with the Niu Qingshan position, the Niu Qingshan position is only three or four miles away from the Red Mountain, and the artillery firepower of both sides can be covered, and now the artillery firepower of the British army has been almost exposed, and it is naturally time for the Lu army to counterattack, this is what Yan Chunyu taught Zhang Suimou, the tiger easily does not attack, but as long as it attacks, it is to go all out, a fatal blow, quiet as a mountain, and as moving as thunder!

The second wave of the British offensive has just begun, and the troops below have not had time to attack, the artillery fire on Hongshan and Niu Qingshan has already been launched, and an artillery battalion is equipped with four artillery companies, a total of more than 40 new artillery, and launched a sharp attack on the artillery positions of the British army!

Boom Boom Boom ......

The artillery positions of the British army were baptized by shells in the sky!

Sinister, too insidious, the Chinese are too insidious, the same idea rises among the British generals, such dense fire is all directed at the artillery positions, just three waves of attack, the British artillery directly reimbursed five, as for the artillery, the casualties are even heavier, they did not expect that the other side's artillery fire would come so quickly and sharply, extremely accurate!

In just a few minutes, the British artillery positions suffered heavy blows, and the elite artillery suffered dozens of casualties!

That's not all, the artillery of the Lu army is still bombarding the artillery positions of the British army, and the casualties are still increasing!

"Shoot back, shoot back! Lao Tzu wants to take revenge fiercely! ”

Rogers was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he attacked twice in a row, and he suffered a big loss!

The British artillery quickly adjusted the direction of fire and began to return fire on the position of the Lu army, and the artillery battle on both sides fell into a difficult situation!

Horton's face was pale, special, the Chinese are too calculating, the two peaks, only two kilometers apart, help each other, cover all the areas within a radius of ten kilometers, the width of the north and south of this peninsula is only more than ten kilometers, the British army wants to rush over, there is only one way to choose, that is, to level the two peaks in front of them, and defeat the Qing army to break through from it!

However, it is obvious that such an opportunity is too difficult, the opponent's defense is so strong that it has exceeded his imagination, and he did not expect that the Qing army has just accepted the hot weapon, and their strategy and tactics have advanced by leaps and bounds to such a point!

"Order, the Twentieth Brigade, the Twenty-first Brigade, and the Seventeenth Brigade of the Japanese Army move to the north and besiege Niu Qingshan, and the rest of the divisions continue to besiege Hongshan!"

Horton gave his own order, now that he has a strong army, he is definitely not worried about the lack of troops, and he must attack with all his strength, and he must take two peaks in the shortest possible time, even if he only needs to control one, then he will open the passage to Weihaiwei! When the time comes, the Lu army will not have to worry! As the saying goes, the big stone crushes the turtle, and the Qing army is now a shrunken turtle, and he can only use a huge stone to crush the turtle shell, so he can see if his stone is heavy enough!

Divide the troops to attack, although Horton's idea is good, but now the opponent is strong, and he has to divide the troops to attack, which is a taboo in itself.

At this time, the British troops in front had begun to rush forward, and a British regiment quickly advanced to the front of the front position, only two or three hundred meters away, and at the same time had already entered the range of the rifle fire of the Lu army, and the troops of the two battalions in the rear were lying on the ground, firing, and providing fire support.

The infantry of a regiment is shooting and attacking forward, after all, the British army has been experienced in a hundred battles and has rich combat experience, they have long been accustomed to the rain of bullets, and the charging tactics are very sophisticated!

However, the soldiers of the Lu army are not given in vain, your troops are abundant, our firepower is mighty, each is good at winning, the soldiers of the Lu army are not afraid at all, the heavy machine gun began to shoot rapidly again, Zhang Suimou's brigade shoulders the most arduous figure, and the firepower configuration is naturally the most powerful in the second division, and twenty Green guns are deployed on the Hongshan position alone, such firepower is simply an insurmountable mountain for the British army!

The Green Cannon continued to roar, firing rapidly at the British army, weaving a dense network of firepower, and the British army wanted to advance even one meter, and they had to pay the price of blood!

Attack, attack!

Because of the existence of trenches, it is difficult for the British army's fire cover in the rear to work, and it is impossible to shoot the soldiers of the Lu army at all, unless the bullet will turn, but this is impossible!

The British charge after charge was suppressed by heavy machine gun fire!

Horton's face turned pale, and he shouted: "Artillerymen, concentrate all your firepower to bombard their forward positions again, and smash those heavy machine guns for me first!" ”

Heavy machine guns, that is the most difficult bone to gnaw in the British army now! Horton can see clearly, these dozen or so firepower points are completely on top of the firepower of the previous infantry regiment!

The artillery of the British army roared again, and shells launched another attack towards the front of the Lu army's position! Constantly destroying the positions of the Lu army, dense and fierce shells, has blown up the forward positions several times, the power of the shells is naturally not to be underestimated, and it will also bring corresponding effects, that is, there are constantly heavy machine gunners who are injured or even killed under the bombardment of shells, and even the Green cannon has been destroyed by the British artillery!

The war between the two sides has completely fallen into a white-hot stage, and each side will not give in, who can be better in the end?
