Chapter 109 - Wehrmacht Offensive (Part II)

In the Gongbao Mansion in Shishi Hutong, Beijing, the lights are not extinguished all night ().

The tall telegraph antenna was connected to a radio transmitter bought from the United States at a high price, and the ticking of the telegraph had not stopped since Yuan Shikai returned, and at this moment everyone knew that the political center of the entire northern country was no longer the splendid Forbidden City, but here.

Under the desk lamp in the study, Yang Shiqi and Yuan Keding, who were already sh-lang of the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce, stood next to them, but Yang Du sat on the sofa with a big grin, and all three pairs of eyes were staring at the front-line telegram that was pinched by Yuan Shikai and paused for a long time.

The telegram made him uneasy, and he was really haggard these days, on the one hand, he wanted to stabilize the north, and to suppress the south, and also to mention the Zongshe Party headed by Liangbi.

The content of the telegram is very detailed, Feng Huafu has divided his troops and taken Xiaogan and Hukou one after another, and the soldiers have pointed to the three bridges, as long as they can cross the three bridges, it is impossible for Liujiamiao to hold it. The last barrier in Hankou is the Dazhi M-N. Dazhi M-N is not easy to fight, because it is close to the concession, and the Lu-N artillery salvo will definitely lead to disputes outside Jiāo, but there is no need to worry too much, because when the morale of the military and civilians in Hubei is basically collapsed, so what makes him really worried is the fourth town that goes deep into Jingshan

Because after Feng Huafu divided the troops, Yang Qiu also divided, and personally led the troops to encircle and suppress the fourth town Wang Yujia is not a good commander of the army, but he has been used to a lot of arrogance over the years, plus Jingshan is located in the southern foothills of Dahong Mountain, the terrain is complex and the rivers are dense, this kind of terrain is very dangerous for Beiyang, who is accustomed to the northern plains, and the labor expedition can not get local support, whether it can break through and break through Jingshan is very critical, so I secretly regret that I shouldn't let Duan Qirui go to the north, if Feng Duan and the two are in front, they will not be so stretched.

Now the south of Jinpu Road has become independent, only Nanjing Zhang Xun is still holding on to help, and Hubei, which has spent countless amounts of money, has lost half of the town and even Hankou has not yet arrived, if you want to fight like this, God knows what price you have to pay (). If a town is finally consumed in Hubei, it will definitely shake the foundation of Beiyang's invincibility, and the Lu-N party in the south has risen in momentum, and I am afraid that I will have to let the third town move on the Jinpu line. Speaking in his heart, he doesn't want to move the third town, this is the trump card force on the tip of his heart, if he is entangled by the two Huai people, and loses troops like Hubei, the Beiyang Department will really have sunset.

This is a matter that gave him a headache, and finally put down the telegram and grabbed the ginseng tea to moisten his throat before asking: "Where is Pingqing (Wang Shizhen)?" ”

Yang Shiqi said: "After the imperial court made him the governor of Huguang, he had rushed to Xinyang overnight to sit in the town, and with him and Huafu joining forces, even if it was no longer tight. ”

Yang Du was still wild and uninhibited, and smiled: "Don't worry about Gong Bao, what if the fourth town is besieged?" Huafu has already stormed the three bridges, and it is not surprising that he will be able to take it within two days, as long as the cannon is sent to Hankou, it will be too late for Yang Qiu to withdraw, and in the end it will still be a harmony."

Yuan Shikai frowned, and was very dissatisfied with Yang Du's attitude of not taking the soldiers seriously, although he was right, the initiative in the Hubei war is actually still in his own hands, but if he loses a town, the power in his hands will be much smaller, and if he does not have enough strength to deter the Quartet, who will listen to him in the future?

His god S-all was collected by Yang Du in his eyes, and he sighed secretly in his heart, compared with Yang Qiu's willingness to gamble on Hankou in order to clear the forces of the Two Lakes Party, this "little family" was a little angry in Hubei affairs, and said: "Gong Bao should know who is standing in front of Hua Fu now, right?" As soon as Yang Qiu left, Xiaogan was defeated, Hukou was defeated, and Sandaoqiao was defeated again, do you say they can still stand in Lianghu? Yang Qiu didn't have a choice, if he wanted to gain a foothold in the two lakes, he had to suppress and eliminate those people, what he said to Liu Chengen before now seems to be completely contrived, otherwise why did he deliberately let go of the front and let Huang Keqiang command the troops, but it was the elm head, who was in a hurry to take back the power of the matter, and it was a foregone conclusion that n-ng had to withdraw from the two lakes, and he must have hated Yang Qiu and these people in Hubei in his heart. ”

Yang Shiqi didn't like Yang Du, but he thought the same as him in this matter, and said: "What Yang Zi said is right, no matter how capable Yang Qiu is, it is impossible to swallow both towns, we will lose some face in Hubei, but the party will lose the two lakes, maybe Sichuan will also lose it recently, can they be willing?" These days, Jiangxi and Lianghuai have deducted a lot of Yang Qiu's goods, and under the pretext of hitting Nanjing, they actually don't want to hold up Huang Keqiang and tell Yang Qiu that they can get stuck downstream. Chen Qimei has also called a fierce man in Shanghai these days, saying that he would convene the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai coalition forces to attack Nanjing, and also asked representatives of southern provinces to go to Shanghai to discuss the major affairs of the founding of the country. ”

"Yang Qiu's fledgling can only be regarded as the hero of one side, and it is not his turn to compete with Gong Bao for a seat." Yang Du picked up the conversation: "Your great enemy is still the party, it is Sun Wen who is about to come back and now someone is helping you suppress them, the palace guard should be happy." Besides, if you really beat Yang Qiu hard, what would you do if he fell to the Hui Party and simply praised Sun Wen's stinky feet? Is there another war? If one town is gone, you can build ten more, unless Gong Bao, do you really think you can rely on five towns to win the world? What's more, if the previous fight is hard and miserable, the Forbidden City will feel more dangerous, if Gong Bao cleans up the south, how can Liangbi and these sectarian parties allow you to continue to be stable here. ”

Yuan Shikai has long seen through Zaifeng and others, he has worked hard for the Manchu Qing Dynasty for so many years, but he almost fell to the sword and axe, and now it is completely because of the big lu-n in the south that he is activated, but what about afterwards? The cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, and the Qing Empire used it for hundreds of years.

He also knew that Yang Du and Yang Shiqi were reasonable, but this Yang Qiu, who came out overnight, really didn't reassure him, he had the means, the ability, and he could anticipate the enemy's opportunities, and more importantly, he had an unclear relationship with Germany, and a few days ago, several German ocean liners that were said to be loaded with arms arrived in Shanghai, were they going to be sold to him? Even if it's fake news, it's a headache. If Wang Yujia takes out Jingshan this time, he will definitely fall to the party, if he loses, then the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will definitely be divided into two worlds, and he will reap the benefits of the fishermen in the north, but why do you always feel awkward in your heart? The Jinghan line is the center of the north and south, and Wuchang is the thoroughfare of the nine provinces.

Alas, it is still necessary to strengthen yourself as soon as possible. Thinking of this, he dropped the telegram that he had been pinching for a long time and asked, "Xingcheng, has the Shikoku Bank Group agreed to the loan?" ”

Yang Shiqi understands that in fact, it is not Hubei that bothers this these days, but the consumption of too much military spending. The foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has long been exhausted in the First Sino-Japanese War, and there is no harvest for the compensation over the years, and at this moment the war can withstand this kind of consumption, even if they have accumulated some over the years, but the Jinghan line alone has invested no less than three million, and the north side has also smashed millions for stability, although the Jinpu line has not yet moved, but it is also a matter of time, and it is a large sum, which is not counting the expenses such as expanding the army later, so it is also deeply sad: "Go back to the palace to protect, Zhu Erdian said that if the adults could take the two Huai salt taxes as a credit, he would be willing to lobby the banking group, but (). ”

"Xingcheng said bluntly, the Lianghuai salt tax hasn't arrived yet, and I'm not willing to take out a loan, right?"

Yang Shiqi glared fiercely at Yang Du, who was not a little unobtrusive: "The salt tax of Lianghuai is not less than 10 million per year, and if you can take it into your arms as soon as possible, you can alleviate the problem of tight funds, so Gong Bao, you still have to plan early." ”

"If you want me to see, now you should send someone to contact Cheng Dequan in Jiangsu, no matter what he says, he is also an old minister of the imperial court, and he may not really belong to the party, as long as a gap is torn in him, the party's southern power will inevitably be slowly disintegrated." Yuan Keding chā mouthed.

Yuan Shikai looked up at Yueyue's eldest son, his mind was lively, and he saw through the key to the Jinpu line at a glance, which was a manufacturable material, but it was a little unsteady, and he should still need to hone and hone again, and asked, "How are you and Wang Gongzi?" ”

"Father, rest assured, he and I are now promoting an armistice in the name of preparing for the National Freemasonry, and Huizi is also helping us plan, if there is really an unfavorable news in Hubei, it will also help me a lot." Speaking of pride, Yuan Keding is very good at selling n-ng.

Yuan Shikai is very angry, why doesn't he even take his son seriously? Lao Tzu, I just started by soldiers, but he can't get angry, the three of them are all the truth, this thing is really troublesome to fight for the world, so he waved his hand: "It's good, first let the wind out, and then it's not a way to be afraid, hey!"

With a long sigh, Yang Du and Yuan Keding changed their eyes, and the latter was about to go out, and two telegrams were stuffed in at the same time: "My lord, Hubei is urgent." ”

Yuan Keding unfolded the telegram, and he didn't know how to say it, Yang Shiqi suddenly laughed a few times after seeing this: "This Feng Huafu has completely met an opponent." ”

"Xingcheng is going to say, what's wrong?"

Yang Shiqi sent a telegram in one hand, and his mouth was bitter: "Huafu took the three bridges, and Wang Yujia was blocked in the partition ()." "Idiot" Yuan Shikai still couldn't control his emotions, and when he got up, he knocked over the teacup, and the ginseng tea spilled along the edge of the table on the expensive carpet.

The cold night sky was illuminated by the bright light of the explosion, the rain of bullets from the shuttle was like lightning that tore apart the big rich water, the slopes of Mt. Okura, less than 100 meters, were completely covered with artillery fire, and thousands of soldiers in the long tunnels were lying still, and only the artillery company of the 2nd Brigade was still fighting back with 57-mm mountain guns in the dead corners of the hillside.

"Grass mud horses won't play anything else?" A soldier poked his head out with mud shaking his head, he was a veteran of Wusheng Pass, and when he saw that Beiyang was again this kind of bullying infantry artillery tactics, he immediately spat in the direction of Beiyang artillery.

"It's good to be able to win, what do you manage to play?" The squad leader next to him scolded with a smile.

"Lao Tzu is angry, but he just relies on a lot of artillery, and when the commander and division commander come around, Lao Tzu robbed all their cannons, and also pulled them to Wusheng Pass to let those grandsons taste the taste of being bombed."

"Haha."

In the violent explosion and laughter, Qin Zhangshu lay in the bunker and observed the outside with an artillery double-angle mirror, he is 25 years old this year, graduated from the Hubei Army Academy, because he has never stayed in the ocean, many people say that he can become a brigade commander because of Yue Peng's relationship, so he wants to prove himself with war. But he also knew that he had a heavy responsibility this time, and the commander had already given him all the forces and mobile forces that could be used, twenty-one light and heavy machine guns in the whole brigade, and he had also given him command of the two thousand veterans brought back by the chief of staff, so he would rather be stable than be too hasty.

Time passed minute by minute, the shells finally gradually thinned, dense black dots began to rush from the riverbank to this side, seeing this, he suddenly tore open his neckline, lowered his body, ran along the trench and shouted: "Heavy machine guns, pay attention, cover, light machine guns, don't stop, don't stop, the Second Brigade and the new brothers, Hankou is in danger, this is our last chance, tens of thousands of compatriots are waiting for our good news, now we have to stay here for an hour, we can't hold it, we are the sinners of Hubei, we are the heroes of national defense."

The agitated soldiers shouted and crawled to the edge of the formation, sticking out the muzzles of their guns from the gaps in the bags of sandbags, and when the Beiyang soldiers approached, the 4ting Maxim machines formed horns with each other and began to sweep frantically, and the machine gunners, who had long been accustomed to saving bullets, were ordered to let go of their hands this time, so almost everyone broke the fast and slow machines to the maximum ().

The long muzzle flame was like the flame spewed out by a giant dragon, and in an instant, it was like the Beiyang Army spraying thousands of bullets along the edge, and the dense bullets stirred up the people on the opposite side, and the two Beiyang battalions that charged were so pressed that they couldn't even lift their heads, so angry that the Beiyang pipe band scolded the people's army for burning too many bullets, and immediately blew the copper whistle and ordered to crawl forward.

Thousands of Beiyang soldiers crawled all the way to the hillside, looking at the light of the cannonballs, as if the ground was sprinkled with a layer of gray-brown S-maggots, and the terrible scene made the soldiers who fought the Wusheng Pass and the Xiaogan defense battle also numb their scalps.

No matter what tactics are used, the first BO charge must be a test of firepower, so the heavy machine guns saw that everyone was "down", and the soldiers of the machine gun squad immediately quickly dragged the BMX to transfer. Sure enough, the Beiyang soldiers stopped climbing halfway through, and the artillery began to cover the shelling of the previous few fire-breathing places, and several machine gun bunkers that had long been empty were blown apart.

Seeing that the position where the muzzle flame appeared just now was blown up, the Beiyang soldiers began to accelerate and climb up, and when they were close to 100 meters, the pipe band blew the copper whistle, and thousands of Beiyang soldiers jumped up suddenly, pulled away and pounced towards the position, at this moment the heavy machine guns fired at full speed again, and after more than a dozen light machine guns also joined the chorus, the Beiyang soldiers on the hillside fell down in pieces like wheat.

"Bastard"

"Withdraw, bombard the second battalion again, and let the second artillery battalion come up too" Wang Yujia saw that the two battalions invested by the first bo were almost swept away, his teeth were gritted, and he suddenly took out his saber and slammed it to the ground, how many years have not fought this kind of hard battle, this time I can finally have a good time, let these miscellaneous people's army know what the real Beiyang Jingrui is

"Boom."

Under the shouting one after another, the Beiyang shells came to the Ogurayama position again, and the soldiers immediately retracted their heads and waited in the midst of the artillery fire.

Chen Guangyuan is the leader of the Seven Associations of the Fourth Town, and the dense rain of bullets just now made him a little anxious, and pulled Wang Yujia: "Lord Commander, the situation is a little wrong, there seems to be more than one association over there." ”

Wu Changzhi, the commander of the fifteenth standard, also felt that something was wrong, pointed to the map and said: "There were originally two associations (brigades) of the Lu-N Army on this side of Jingshan, and Feng Juntong sent a telegram saying that Yang Qiu had taken at least three associations from Xiaogan's side, which means that we have five associations on our side, and we met two when Sanyang Town crossed the Dafushui, two in Huaishuzhuang, and the last one on the opposite side." Judging from this period of time, their associations are not satisfied, and each association is about 3,000, but how can there be so many more people with at least 5,000 people with such a strong firepower just now? If their mission was to cut off our connection with Hankow, there would be no need to defend here, and they would not need so many troops. ”

Wang Yujia is not an incompetent person, and after hearing what he said, his head was suddenly startled, and he asked, "What do you mean?" ”

The analysis made every face under the oil lamp a little uneasy, and in the end, Chen Guangyuan tapped his fingers twice on the position of Kokura Mountain: "Two Xie, two on the right, if you look at it this way, this army is not here to disturb, but." ”

"Haha, you want to rely on a co-ordination to block Lao Tzu from outflanking? M-n is not" Wang Yujia laughed angrily after hearing this, and shouted: "The 13th and 14th bids attacked Kokura Mountain, the 15th and 16th bids immediately set up a formation, the horse marks scattered to investigate, and the three artillery battalions were all pulled up for me, even if they were smashed, they would smash it for me within an hour."

Probably smelling uneasiness, the Beiyang artillery began to throw shells at the Okura Mountain position like crazy, the field fortifications were blown to pieces, the poisonous smoke produced by the Shimose fire Y-O began to diffuse, and the flames spread between the positions like flowing water, and many soldiers were swept down by the Beiyang machine gun team at the foot of the mountain as soon as they jumped out of the burning position.

Qin Zhangshu immediately sensed that something was wrong, grabbed the staff officer and shouted: "Gather all the miscellaneous personnel and teaching companies, and let the third battalion temporarily withdraw with them and stand by for the reserves." ”

As soon as the officer went to give the order, the Beiyang Infantry Brigade was already pouring towards the position. At the beginning, they charged in three groups under the cover of shells, those in front kept running, those in the back followed closely behind and did not shoot, and the junior officers wearing gold-brimmed hats drew their sabers and rushed to the front of the line. When the artillery stopped, six heavy machine guns took over the task of fire support.

Nearly 5,000 M-O 98 and more than 20 machine guns were scattered in four positions totaling three kilometers, and the sound of Qi SH swept like a hurricane, and the heavy machine guns had just cut down the enemy in front like wheat, and the Beiyang soldiers who had learned the first lesson immediately scattered and lay down, and this time they also stretched the formation very scattered, borrowing the trees and mounds on the hillside to keep moving forward. The Beiyang machine gun team behind also opened fire, and the dense rain of bullets set up small columns of smoke on several machine gun positions, and several machine gunners were swept down. As long as the Beiyang soldiers lying on the ground saw that the machine guns there were suppressed, they jumped up and rushed a few steps, and then quickly lay down and continued to crawl forward, never retreating no matter what.

This kind of desperate posture obviously knows that he has been surrounded, so the fourth town of Beiyang is going to fight to the death, the pressure of the small warehouse mountain position in the rain of bullets you come and go has increased sharply, and the shells will fall again after finally repulsing a bo, and disappear after their infantry is reorganized and rushes up.

A bo* charge almost never stopped, life was disappearing rapidly, blood flowed in the entire position, several times the Beiyang soldiers broke through the position, and the soldiers gritted their teeth and fought back with white blades, and finally Qin Zhangshu and the officers simply picked up their rifles and became infantrymen. Once, twice, three times, within two hours, even the Wehrmacht officers and men who were defending the position forgot how many charges Beiyang had launched, and in the end everyone just opened fire numbly, fired and then countercharged with white blades, and the only reserves in their hands were also pulled up in this attrition and continued to consume.

The corpses in the position were scattered all over the place, both their own people and those from Beiyang. Qin Zhangshu simply sat on the corpse of someone who didn't know who it was, leaning against the pit wall and panting heavily, and he couldn't distinguish what he looked like in his official uniform. The commander of the third regiment died, two battalion commanders, seven company commanders also died, and twenty machine guns were half destroyed by shells. Seeing that Beiyang rushed up again, he pressed a row of bullets into the magazine, and pulled out the issued Han Yuan-style pistol, and spat bloody phlegm fiercely.

He **, forgot to marry his daughter-in-law first, and he didn't know if the king of Yama would marry a boudoir nv ().

When the soldiers rose from the trenches again, the heavens and the earth were suddenly torn apart in the distance, and only hundreds of fires shone on the left, right, and front and back, and there were more points of light than the stars in the sky

"Commander, Commander, they're here"

In an instant, the shouts sounded from the position, and the numbness, depression and even panic of the beaten heartbeat all boiled to the peak in an instant, and many soldiers stopped shooting, and simply shouted lu-n at the top of their throats. Qin Zhangshu sat in the trench with his ass, and the flames of the cannonballs in the distance were so beautiful.

Clusters of orange s-fires came and went, and the stumps and severed arms of deer, horses, and people were lifted into the sky, and Yue Peng, who was standing on the hill with a telescope in hand, couldn't say what he felt. For many years, since he joined the army, he has dreamed of one day fighting against opponents of Beiyang's level, and now he is not only fighting, but also taking the initiative to attack, which is also the first in the country, but the strange thing is that he didn't feel too much excitement, and some just had heavy pressure on his shoulders.

Especially in order to ensure that the Hankou side does not suffer too much, he only has 30m-n 57 mm retreat guns in his hands, if Jiang Tai's sharpest artillery is here, he can even ensure that the gap in the Beiyang defense line can be torn open at the first time, but now it must be torn open with human lives

Although they were not favored by their division commanders, the boys of the artillery battalion of the 1st Division did not think so, and fired fiercely at the Beiyang defensive positions, often before the shell box was opened. Such a fierce and rapid firepower also frightened Wang Yujia, he could never have imagined that Yang Qiu, a "little cub", would really dare to launch a large-scale outflanking attack on himself. Fortunately, after the reminder of Chen Guangyuan and others just now, he was already prepared, so he immediately stopped the attack on Kokura Mountain and put all three artillery battalions into defense.

When the Beiyang artillery battalion was formed, it was the largest in the world, larger than the Japanese artillery battalion of the M-heavy artillery, each battalion was a full 18m-n Krupp or Japanese field artillery, 54m-n was enough to fight a decent battle, in the face of the decisive battle posture of three sides and one blocking, he also ordered the artillery battalion to shoot as many shells as possible, and use strong firepower to stop the enemy's infantry from attacking ().

The artillery of both sides worked hard at the same time, reloading and firing, calibrating that no one dared to stop for even a second, and Beiyang occupied the advantage of sh-range, caliber, and power, and the Wehrmacht took advantage of the small artillery and easy transfer. The scorching flames of the cannons scorched the cold air, and the cotton clothes and shirts were taken off, and many of the artillerymen ended up shirtless, and as the shells were fired, they also seemed to be ignited, and there was only one thought left in their minds.

Fire

In particular, the new and old artillerymen of the Wehrmacht, when the caliber, firepower, and SH-range were inferior to their opponents, and the Jingrui artillery regiment was dragged into Hankou and could not move, they stubbornly relied on the 30m-n 57 mm mountain artillery to complete the fire attack and coverage. In the 10-minute interval between the turning of the muzzle and the return of fire by the Beiyang artillery, the selfless gunners fired a total of 1,817 shells, which even exceeded the maximum SH-speed of this type of artillery.

The dense shells completely plowed the position and defense line of the fourth town, the soil was rolled up, the stones were blown up, countless stumps were thrown up by the gas l-ng, and the Beiyang Mountain artillery, which had just begun to return fire a few m-n, was overturned after only a few shells. The stunned Beiyang soldiers finally managed to survive until the end of the firepower attack, and the infantry had already launched a ch-o water charge under the cover of more than 30 light and heavy machine guns.

The four brigades of more than 10,000 soldiers gathered into a terrible flood peak, like ch-o water constantly washing the position of the fourth town, the soldiers on both sides all knew that this was a battle to the death, so they all showed their strength, on one side was the warlike Beiyang, and on the other side were the Wehrmacht soldiers who were fighting blood-red but fighting an offensive battle for the first time.

As the infantry entered the battle, the entire Okura Mountain Ofusui area was scorched, and in an area of less than a dozen square kilometers, except for explosions and machine guns, only the sound of shouting and killing remained.

However, to Yue Peng's officers' helplessness, the Wehrmacht who fought the offensive battle for the first time was not easy, because Wang Yujia had already made a defensive response to the 15th and 16th bids, and the troops were also contracted, and the Beiyang artillery began to return fire, so they quickly stabilized their positions and fought hard to resist through the bunkers and positions that were simply excavated.

The sound of a single sh-shot was not evident in the explosion and the howl of the machine guns like ch-o water, but they formed the basis of the infantry, and the skillful running and tenacity of the Austro-Hungarian S-S showed the overall superiority of the Beiyang individual in terms of quality ().

It was their tenacity that turned the three arrows of the Wehrmacht attacking from three sides at the same time into a pot of porridge, and the casualty figures on both sides rose sharply as the battle deepened, and some assault troops had even reached the brink of shocking collapse, and countless lives were swallowed up in this whirlpool, but at this moment both sides were already red-eyed, and no one dared to adjust, even if they knew that something was wrong, they must also invest in it without hesitation.

"Chong, Chong to win, must win" On the hill, Yang Qiu held the telescope as if frozen, but he was already shouting in his heart, and his mouth rose and fell violently with his heartbeat, because he understood better than anyone that if he failed this time, then not only Hankou would fall, but Hanyang would also be very dangerous, his dreams and future would all be ruined, if it weren't for Hakan and Yue Peng and others who resolutely refused to allow it, he hated to take the lead in rushing forward.

Anxiety, restlessness, nervousness washed over his body and brain over and over again like ch-o water, and he was powerless at this moment. Because this is not a division that can attack and defend well, many officers in the first attack have panicked and nervous problems, in fact, he knows in his heart that this army is actually in history in the Yangxia War was beaten by Beiyang embarrassed, lost its armor, and lost Hankou and Hanyang armies one after another, it is a miracle to be able to temper through skirmishes, and it is already a miracle to bring them to the point where they can counterattack a town in Beiyang through Y-U guidance.

Whether or not they can go further requires not only their own guidance, not just advanced weapons, but a great victory, so tonight is a hurdle for this army, and they will be able to compete with any army when they pass it

Whether it was Yue Peng, Wu Zhaolin, or He Xi, they all subconsciously used their eyes to look at the back in front that seemed to never bend, but how did they know that Yang Qiu's jacket was already soaked with sweat, because it was also the first time for him to experience this kind of battle, and there had never been a battle of more than a hundred people in his time.

"Command to prepare ()." As the commander-in-chief of this battle, Yue Peng took the lead in retracting his gaze, lying on the map and calculating quickly, except for the reserves of two infantry regiments and a cavalry battalion on his side, he had already exerted all his strength, and he decided to use the reserves to fight to the death in the face of a rock standing like a rock in the river, but at this time, Yang Qiu, who had not spoken, walked over firmly.

Yang Qiu looked up at the sky that was already a hint of fish white, his tone was unexpectedly gentle, there was no unfavorable anger of the war, and there was no movement, his words were clear and gave people an indescribable thickness and stability, and his fingers slowly slid from the left side of the first division and one brigade: "I'll give you thirty minutes, be sure to carve a gap for me here"

The place of the finger is an artillery battalion in Beiyang, in order to protect the front of the artillery, there are not only two infantry battalions, but also a full 4ting Makqin machine gun and an engineering battalion to assist in the blockade, to carve out a gap here for the reserve to put in the difficulty can be imagined, but no one can deny that if this place can be broken, cut off this artillery battalion, the firepower of the fourth town of Beiyang will be immediately attenuated by half, and from here after the reserve will detour to the front of Ozurayama, then the second division and the first brigade can also pounce straight down, cutting the fourth town into two sections in one fell swoop.

"I'll go" He Xi stood up, the 42-famous laughing Maitreya shook his military uniform, the corners of his mouth were a little stiff but still stubbornly bent: "Lao He, I will wait for this in my life, if I can't come back, brothers, don't forget to burn some paper money for me every once in a while, don't forget, we only need ingots." ”

Without any words, Yang Qiu led the officers to salute him.

After the order was given, the only cavalry battalion, which was considered a treasure, began to make preparations, and in order to increase the impact force, they were to tear through the line of defense and kill a passage as quickly as possible after the assault team Y-U opened fire from the enemy's machine guns.

Wu Zhaolin recognized the battalion commander who was preparing, his name was An Guoliang, it turned out to be the second-level staff officer of Ma Biao in Bazhen, and on the second day of the uprising, he took off his military uniform and said that he didn't want to do it anymore, so he was very surprised to see him again, walked to his side and patted the war horse: "Guoliang, when are you." ”

An Guoliang was unscrewing the grenade covers one by one, and then tied the string to the belt next to the horse's neck, so that when you want to use it, you can avoid the time to open the lid and pull the string, and smiled faintly after seeing him: "I received a handwritten letter from the commander on the second day of Beijin, he asked me if I wanted to fight with Beiyang, I said yes, and I came ()." "I was not moved by preaching, but I said the voice of an ordinary officer, too much Beiyang Jing is unbeatable and touting itself is an insult to other soldiers.

An Guoliang stepped on the horse, and the second and third more than three hundred cavalrymen stepped on the horse, without any hesitation Seeing these simple faces, all the officers behind Yang Qiu felt that something in the Xiong cavity was beginning to burn, and the nasal cavity was full of hot steam.

"This is a heroic era to tell those who are willing to fall and would rather be slaves to the Tartars in front of us, they are just a bunch of garbage that should be swept into history Victory belongs to us and belongs to the Wehrmacht" In Yang Qiu's powerful words, the war horse began to surge forward, and after bypassing a hill, the deputy battalion commander suddenly held up a flying tiger battle flag Coincidentally, when the flag was raised, Jinyang also revealed the earth, explosions, gunsmoke, military flags and war horses, showed a magnificent picture of the war, so that Dai Tianqiu and several other war correspondents kept pressing the fast m-n while shouting.

"Wehrmacht, offensive"

He Xi brandished the command knife and roared to lead the assault team to attack first, even if Yang Qiu repeatedly improved the straggler array, but the Makqin machine gun was still worthy of the infantry nightmare, dense bullets were involved in the array, shattering the bones of the soldiers, and tearing the blood r-u.

Under the command of He Xi, everyone deliberately spread out to the two wings and pulled the enemy's machine guns to both sides, and after advancing to a distance of 100 meters, a yellow S-hurricane suddenly rose from the surface, like a group of hungry wolves that did not want to die and pounced on the enemy's defense line, everyone forgot about life and death, and in the end, many soldiers did not even have time to load the bullets, so they simply raised their bayonets and fought with the enemy in white-knuckle combat.

After the machine guns were attracted to both sides by the infantry, more than 300 cavalry rushed to the enemy position, and behind them was the machine gun assault team of the guard company led by Lei Meng

The cavalry that suddenly rushed out startled Beiyang, and the machine gun immediately turned around, and the artillery boys had already received the news that they had abandoned their original target and desperately smashed all the remaining shells (). In the rumbling explosion and machine gun sweep, An Guoliang's comrades-in-arms began to fall from his horse continuously, but now he forgot everything, prostrate on the horse's back, and there were only three words left in his mind, and he burst in and broke in

500 meters, 300 meters, 100 meters

When the war horses were about to arrive at the position, An Guoliang and the remaining cavalry picked up the grenades and smashed them into the machine gun fort first, for this assault they each carried 20 grenades, plus they were all buckled with strings, and they could be thrown out at will, and the speed was terrifying.

The violent rain of grenades made the blood in the Makqin machine gun fort made of sandbags splash everywhere, the thick water-cooled sleeve was twisted and deformed, as more and more grenades were thrown, the rumbling explosion spread all over the Beiyang position, even the war horses under the crotch began to be afraid of not obeying the command, each grenade exploded and split into dozens of small fragments, like a whirlwind of steel raging in front of the enemy position, hundreds of Beiyang infantry were scalded by this sudden hot wind, and fell down full of fragments.

After An Guoliang threw the last grenade, he pulled out his saber and slashed at a Beiyang soldier who pulled the bolt, and the power of the war horse's sprint helped the blade to cut directly through, and when the blade was withdrawn, the arms of the Beiyang soldiers behind him had been unloaded with most of their shoulders.

Seeing that the cavalry rushed straight to the artillery position, many Beiyang soldiers spontaneously rushed from both flanks to prepare to block them, but the cavalry killed a whole regiment of infantry so that the position fell into a panic again, especially the machine gun commando led by Lei Meng at the front, two by two along the trench continued to assault on both wings, the advantage of light machine guns was finally fully exerted at this moment, and the Beiyang soldiers often only fired a single shot and there were four or five bullet holes on the body.

An Guoliang has been rushing to the front, he has forgotten how many Beiyang soldiers he killed, when the barrel of a m-n cannon appeared in front of him, the bullet finally hit his war horse, the war horse screamed and flipped him to the ground, the hot pain in his back chou dried the last bit of strength in his body, turned his head to look at the infantry comrades who densely crossed the Beiyang position in the distance, just lay down, laughed and gave up the escape, let the tears flow.

The task was accomplished, and the cavalry battalion finally assaulted the artillery positions

"Rushed in, rushed in, we rushed in" A staff officer pointed to the Beiyang position of H-NLU-N and cried with joy, jumping and shouting excitedly like a child, and the other officers also shouted passionately under his infection, and even the steady Yue Peng jumped up: "Tell every soldier in the second reserve regiment not to let down the hard work of your comrades"

The input of the two Jingrui regiments finally completely tore open this gap, like a red-hot iron hammer towards the heart of the fourth town, and the officers such as Shi Xiaolou and Zhang Tingfu, who were in command of the front line, also mobilized their troops to rush to the two wings, pulling the enemy and preventing them from retreating.

An Guoliang was lying on the ground, blood gushing out of his arm, this was left by a Beiyang artilleryman, that guy wanted to poke his heart, but was scared away by a mad bull-like machine gun commando. An Guoliang lay on the ground and thought that he would definitely slap that guy twice after capturing him, not for anything else, just for him When the medical officer began to bandage him, he deliberately tingxiong, so that a group of comrades rushing past him would see him, and then salute continuously. He was very proud, although he paid the price of half of the loss of the cavalry battalion, he still broke in, and lived up to Yang Qiu's personal invitation to him to go out of the mountain to lead the cavalry, and even lived up to the title of the National Defense Army.

"Grass and mud horse reserve reserves" Wang Yujia's face has changed, he never thought that the most solid position would be broken through, with this middle point broken, the three-kilometer-wide front is completely lu-n, and he is immediately ready to use reserves to plug the gap.

But he still underestimated the speed of this BO assault, not long after the three words of the reserve team were spoken, the continuous sound of machine guns rang out from a distance, in this H-N battlefield, the weakness of the Beiyang Makqin heavy machine gun lacked the ability to move began to expand, and in turn, the machine gun team of the Lei Da Hob R-U was simply a nightmare for the infantry, and when the follow-up Jing Rui two regiments came in, he simply united with 20ting light machine guns to form a fire group, chasing the ass of the Beiyang rout all the way.

Beiyang was defeated, the fourth town was defeated, the commander's side was victorious, and we were victorious

Seeing this scene, every soldier in the Kokura Mountain position trembled, and Qin Zhangshu, who had long been itchy and unbearable, immediately ordered to blow the trumpet of the charge, and the remaining soldiers of the more than 3,000 Second Brigade all rushed out of the position, and even many soldiers and civilians who accompanied the army simply picked up the rifles with bayonets in the trenches and rushed down ().

This battle can't be fought

All the heavy machine guns were transferred to the front line, and all of them could not be quickly recovered, except for one on the side of the division headquarters. On the other hand, the enemy army does not need to bear the pressure of the frontal and heavy machine guns against the sh-, a strong man can carry a light machine gun everywhere, and when he sees a soldier, he is a shuttle, plus seven or eight infantry to protect him, and the fire is fierce and cannot be stopped at all.

Seeing that the collapse of the troops was a foregone conclusion, Wang Yujia, the commander, could only accept the biggest rout in the history of Beiyang, but when he took two steps, he found that the enemy army on Ogura Mountain had also rushed down

The sharp retreat post crushed the confidence, thousands of Beiyang soldiers ran around, and in the blink of an eye, the Beiyang soldiers who were still extremely sharp in everyone's eyes just now had become a flock of headless ducks being chased, many soldiers even lost their cartridge belts and equipment in order to run faster, and the heavy machine guns and artillery were all discarded, and everyone had only one thought to escape, desperately fleeing.

In front of the outlaw rushed down from Mt. Kocana, behind were a group of hungry wolves that ran faster than the hounds that smelled their prey, some of the Beiyang soldiers simply discarded their guns and bullets y-o jumped into the icy river and swam downstream, and more you looked at me, I looked at you, frightened and finally slowly raised their hands. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the entire battlefield has become a one-sided pursuit, even if there are sporadic organizational resistance, it has not hindered the overall situation, the fatigue and pain of a night of fierce battle are instantly diluted by the joy of victory, many soldiers even ignore the injuries and almost paralyzed bodies, and chase wildly in order to be able to catch a Beiyang prisoner with their own hands.

Yang Qiu slowly sat down on the rock, the mountain wind blew a cold on his back, he took off his hat and held it in the palm of his hand, turned his head and smiled at Hakan, who had also stayed up all night: "Dear captain, I remember that you seem to have hidden Cuban cigars. ”

"Damn, you deserve hell." Hakan gritted his teeth, took out a cigar and handed it to him in distress, the fragrant and spicy smell of tobacco choked Yang Qiu, who had never smoked, burst into tears and laughed: "Maybe I'm really not suitable for enjoying life ()." ”

Can't chou smoke and blackmail yourself into the best cigars? This guy really didn't beat Hakan with a cold face, he didn't speak, but in his heart, he was already fascinated by this tragic battle, in the face of this young man, even if he still maintained a military posture, I don't know whether to scold him and worry himself all night, or to praise and flatter a few words, and finally even he himself was startled by the sudden rise of the thought, is this the heart-to-heart between soldiers?

From 11 o'clock in the morning of November 13, the "Battle of Ogurayama" finally came to an end after four days of gradual encirclement and 16 hours of frontal bloody fighting, with the goal of striking at the fourth town of Beiyang, and the great battle of consuming the enemy's vital forces ended with a great victory for the Wehrmacht commanded by Yang Qiu.

According to later statistics, except for more than 3,000 remnants of the soldiers who escaped by swimming to death, all the rest stayed in Kokura Mountain, of which more than 3,300 people were directly killed, and the remaining more than 5,000 were all captured.

In addition to the prisoners, 54M-N 75mm mountain guns, 15 Ting Makqin heavy machine guns, tens of thousands of German-made M1888 and Austro-Hungarian Charliman rifles, mule, horse and livestock bullets Y-O baggage were also captured.

The huge harvest even made some people red, but the losses also made Yang Qiu feel distressed, the two sharpest divisions combined lost more than 4,000 people, and with a large number of light machine guns and grenades, the damage ratio of 1.3 to 1 was really not a result worth boasting about.

However, after passing the test of this unprecedentedly tragic battle, this miscellaneous Wehrmacht has finally grown up completely, and its fear of Beiyang has also been washed away, and it has enough confidence to meet it again in the future. More importantly, from tomorrow onwards, the news of Ozurayama's victory will spread throughout the Far East and even the whole world along with telegrams from war correspondents such as Dai Tianqiu

Yang Qiu shook his military hat and brought it back on. He clearly remembered that there was another major event in the south today, and the four routes of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai attacked Nanjing. But that has nothing to do with him, even if Feng Guozhang has already killed Dazhi M-n, it doesn't matter, unless Yuan Shikai is willing to take the risk that Feng Huafu's department will also be cut off from going home, otherwise he can only sit down obediently and negotiate peace.
