Chapter 90 Lushun Meat Grinder (4)
Prince Zhenai looked at the red-faced officers and roared angrily: "Hun eggs are all quiet and His Majesty is still resting. Do you want to disturb the Holy Bow?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at the prince and general's face full of anger, so they had to shut up in disappointment.
Prince Sakai snorted and turned to Yoshiichi Tanaka: "Chief of Staff, how many additional troops do you need to add to the direction of Matsushu Mountain? How do our army need to allocate firepower?"
Tanaka Yoshiichi was silent for a while and said, "Commander, the Chinese people have always been tenacious, especially their navy. The Chinese Marines in Lushunkou will never be willing to fail. Even if we occupy Songshu Mountain, they will launch a continuous counterattack. According to my opinion, it is better to use firepower to block the enemy's aid channels, occupy Songshu Mountain with a certain amount of troops, and reserve a considerable reserve force to deal with repeated struggles. We cannot smash all the reserve forces in one go, otherwise the artillery fire of the Chinese army will be too great. Now the Guards Division has concentrated the troops of three registrars, and see the results first... In terms of the Marine Corps, the Second Brigade can be on standby, so there is no need to rush to fill in it."
Prince Zhenai nodded: "Okay, the commander will do the following measures: When each department launches a decisive attack on its current targets, it must carry forward the sacrifice of the loyal and brave imperial army, and not hesitate to break it, but also seize the artillery fire behind the Chinese artillery base, and concentrate on blocking the reinforcement passage behind the Chinese army's Songshu Mountain. The heavy artillery must suppress the Chinese artillery position in Baiyu Mountain. The important thing now is to use firepower to isolate the Songshu Mountain first, and order the Second Land Brigade to move towards the No. 5 position and stand by at any time."
The fierce battle seems to be endless.
Cao Kun's reserve teams all topped Songshu Mountain and Erlong Mountain, and the last battalion in Chief of Staff Long Jiguang also advanced here. However, at this time, news of the strengthening of the Japanese offensive came from the direction of Dongji Guanshan North Turret and Baiyinshan North Turret, which made him in a dilemma.
Through the night, the well-trained Japanese infantry launched a strong attack, and the emerging flamethrowers also gave the Chinese army a strong shock. Some Chinese troops, despite the death orders before, still had deserters. Some even were obviously ill-ambitious and were forced to use the supervision team and the supervision machine gun on the position, which shows how tragic the battle was.
Even the most obedient Japanese soldiers, watching the tragic scene of blood fighting for steel, watching the lively people being torn apart in an instant, and they still had to launch a futile attack again and again, and finally despair.
For everyone, death seems to be the only ending
The artilleryism of the Chinese army was once again perfectly demonstrated on this night.
The Japanese brigade, which was advancing towards Songshu Mountain with firepower on the side of the Chinese military chairs, was attacked by the artillery artillery of various caliber at the rear of the Chinese military. Especially the 7th Guard Regiment, who was rushing to maintain the marching sequence at night and avoid losing, was eager to build for His Majesty the Emperor. The entire formation was very dense. As a result, the heavy artillery of the Chinese army happened to be lucky. Several consecutive three-five bombs were smashed with a high-curve ballistic trajectory across 17 or 8 kilometers.
Come, the explosion was above the head of the Japanese brigade. The flying shrapnel and extremely powerful explosion turned the bottom into a terrifying hell. Major General Hongo Yataro, the commander of the brigade, was blown away on the spot. The mules and horses transporting reinforcement bullets were injured and ran around like crazy. As a result, the incendiary bombs fired from the second and third howitzers of the Chinese army triggered the bombs to explode again, and a 75-mm infantry cannon was blown to pieces.
The Japanese also showed the greatest courage and obedience at this time. Although the brigade commander led the team was killed, Suzuki Sora Suzuki commandered the troops to pounce on Mount Pine Tree with dense artillery fire.
At this time, a terrible movement occurred in the Japanese army's queue. Suzuki Zhuoru was pulled into the air and saw a few black shadows coming to his head at some point, and seemed to be throwing something down.
Suzuki Soru was soon shocked.
The bomb fell from the sky, like raindrops in one's own queue, or exploded on his head
The twenty-five kilogram bombs thrown by the Chinese airship caused amazing damage. Most Japanese soldiers were hit by the air for the first time, and many people simply lost their ability to think and had no idea how to deal with it. The Chinese airship bombed back and forth several times and began to sweep again. The dense heavy machine gun firepower splashed water at the crowd.
At this time, the Japanese also reported that the 47mm modified machine gun of the army, the Gaoping dual-purpose Hatchkas heavy machine gun started to strike, and the bullets hit the steel plates of the cockpit of the Chinese airship, and some bullets hit the airship's compartment. If it weren't for the fact that the hard airship's compartment was more divided, the Japanese would not know that they would use incendiary bombs to deal with the airship, and the result was really hard to say.
The Chinese airship, which was too low for accurate attacks at night, saw that the momentum was not good, so they quickly climbed up and left.
Suzuki Roku had easily gathered the team, but there were already heavy casualties.
The battle above Pine Tree Mountain has long been in full swing.
Although the Chinese sailors and remaining troops relied on hand-to-blade assault and artillery support to repel the Japanese offensive, they also suffered heavy casualties. The instructor was killed, and the deputy battalion commander Xiao Yaonan was injured by a grenade launcher and sent him. Qiu Haiyang, who was like an immortal young strong, was still alive. The firepower of the entire position was reconfigured, and the connecting soldiers were busy checking the lines, establishing telephone contact with Erlongshan and even the rear positions, and commanding and supporting artillery fire nearby.
At this time, the artillery mirror equipped by the Chinese artillery observer exerted great power, making the entire artillery school command operation more accurate and efficient.
However, the Japanese were determined to take down Pine Tree Mountain that night, and the support troops gathered up with suffocating firepower.
Erlongshan, front of the eastern line of the Huajun Lushun Fortress District.
Cao Kun started step by step from the bottom of society. He is not the powerful warlord in later generations. He still retains the ruthless spirit of abandoning merchants and joining the army when he stomped his feet. Seeing the Japanese spending a lot in Songshu Mountain, he also made a ruthless move. Except for a company of the Third Battalion of the 323rd Regiment, the rest of the troops reinforced Songshu Mountain from the jiāo Tongtui on the back slope.
The arrival of the mortar company and the heavy machine gun company increased the firepower of the Chinese army on Songshu Mountain. The Japanese grenade launchers, mortars and heavy machine guns were also transported and quickly assembled. Both sides guarded one side of the trench and began to fight.
Japan is also hurrying to prepare the troops.
The most important thing about night attacks is sudden, and once they become a protracted battle, it is hard to say.
Nakamura Kazumi silently calculated the strength of his own hands and the strength of the enemy.
With the arrival of the Chinese reinforcements, although he received support from the Sixth Regiment of Morioka Morioka Morioka Guards, his advantage was greatly weakened. Due to the great losses ahead, he had only more than 3,200 combat troops in his hands, and the Chinese army on the opposite side had estimated that the strength of the troops had increased to about 1,000.
Now it depends on which side has a more tight firepower blockade and which side gets reinforcements first.
Pineshu Mountain, Japanese positions.
Nakamura Shizumi looked at the bloody soldiers in front of him, like the soldiers of the Seventh Guards Regiment who were struggling ashore from Huangquan Saka, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Hongo, I didn't expect to die young... You can't just come down to fulfill your wish. Occupy Lushun, ravage the Bohai Bay, and trample on the capital of China, so that these weak and corrupt Chinese people can understand what Japan is." Nakamura Kazumiya gritted his teeth at Suzuki Zhuoru, and pointed to the map with a lantern. "Suzuki, we can't give the Chinese people too much time Ten minutes later, Muto and Morioka-kun launched an offensive from the left and right wings to restrain the Chinese army's firepower, and the Youth Army achieved a breakthrough in one fell swoop."
On the Huajun side, Qiu Haiyang sat in the cover with a grin, and placed the sword beside him with a roll of blade. The sanitary soldiers next to him were dipping his iodine wine to wipe the wound and bandage him.
"Be gentle, boy." Qiu Haiyang's wound was burned by iodine, frowned, and cursed.
The health soldier ignored him and ran to the next one after bandaging.
Qiu Haiyang knew that he called the artillery to attack his position without any difference, which made the person present feel a little uncomfortable. He felt a little uncomfortable when he relaxed, but he didn't care about this. He gasped for a while, took a sip of water, wiped his face, and regained his vitality.
At this moment, the messenger rushed in, opened his voice and shouted: "Battleman Qiu's orders, the enemy seems to have received reinforcements, and may start the attack soon, and order your troops to strictly guard the position."
Qiu Haiyang took the order and read it, nodded, and waved his hand to let the other party leave.
Qiu Haiyang turned around and looked at the serious and serious wounded soldiers in the cover. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't say it.
At this time, a wounded soldier stood up with his injured leg. When Qiu Haiyang saw that he was the sergeant Qiao Ergou, who was usually very naughty, frowned slightly.
Qiao Ergou smiled miserably: "Battle, is the Japanese going to attack? Now there are few people on the position, so don't be worried about us. I have broken legs and still have hands, and I can still load bullets for my brothers."
He turned around and shouted, "Go is going to return to his post today. Are there anyone with him?"
A big man next to him stood up cursingly, dragging his broken leg: "Ergou, you are a turtle, I want to argue with you in this matter. No matter how many more lame you are, you will be overwhelmed by your legs."
After saying that, he saluted Qiu Haiyang: "Battleman, the four legs are disabled, and there are still tricks. The Japanese who are still nailing the Japanese with guns will die. We will just fight against these dogs and kill them."
At this time, all the minor and serious wounded stood up, some were speechless, some were flushed, some were calm, some were full of fear but were holding tightly, and their eyes were full of tears.
Except for the heavy number that cannot be moved, none of them want to stay here.
Qiu Haiyang looked at these people and laughed for a while: "So, since that's the case, I will lead the big guy today, and I will die one by one. I can't lack me, and you guys go to the underworld together, and the road is also lively"-
At this moment, the heavy machine gun company and mortar company brought to Wangtai Mountain had already reached Songshu Mountain. Just as the firepower was marshaled, the Japanese army on the opposite side had already launched an attack.
The Japanese front-line firepower has also been greatly improved. The remaining forces of the two regiments of Muto Nobuyoshi and Morioka Morioka launched a clamp-shaped offensive against the Chinese army. The experienced Japanese soldiers crawled forward and suffocated the Chinese army's firepower, and gradually approached the Chinese army's positions, as if they were preparing to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Chinese army from both wings.
Seeing that the Japanese and Chinese troops had already begun to throw grenades on the two wing positions, Nakamura Shin-shou waved his hand suddenly, and the new force of the Seventh Regiment began to operate. A large group of Japanese troops jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the Chinese positions fiercely. At the same time, the Japanese grenade launchers and mortars also diverted their firepower and bombarded the central position of the Chinese army.
Some side firepower points that originally supported the two wings of the Chinese army were destroyed, but Qiu Haiyang had organized all the troops on the position that could still be moved. These soldiers were ordered by the garrison headquarters: Anyone who left the position without orders shall be executed on the spot.
The Chinese soldiers, who knew that there was no way out, also took the initiative. The British-style shè attacks specially trained by the Chinese army began to exert their power at this time. The skilled riflemen could shoot fifteen shots in a minute and slapped them with dense guns. The Japanese storm-raid line on the opposite side fell into pieces like wheat cut by a sickle.
Seeing that something was wrong, the Japanese veterans quickly leaned down and lie down to face the Chinese army, crawling forward while striking.
The Japanese army was getting closer and closer. Finally, the soldiers in the front row stood up, roared and launched a charge, and threw dense grenades while making a harsh roar.
A Japanese imitation Chinese-made pineapple grenade drew an arc in the air and landed at Qiu Haiyang's feet. Qiu Haiyang's blood seemed to have solidified. He grabbed it and threw it out. It happened to explode on the heads of several Japanese soldiers. A Japanese warrant officer was roaring and waving his saber as the first charge, but his eyes were blinded by shrapnel. He screamed and waved the saber in his hand, and was slashing on the neck of another Japanese soldier, and his blood spurted out Lao Gao.
The Chinese army's positions were infiltrated by the Japanese army, and the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed. The space was too small and the bayonets could not be deployed soon. The Chinese soldiers waved engineer shovels, daggers, and even just stones to fight against the Japanese. Some desperate Chinese soldiers saw that the positions were occupied, and their comrades in front, back and left and right were all killed and injured, and they pulled the grenade with red eyes.
Qiu Haiyang watched the positions of the third platoons being flooded by the Japanese army, and watched the three platoons crawl forward in a standard manner, jumped up, and jumped into the enemy group with a bomb bag. Then there was an earth-shaking explosion, closing his eyes in pain. After a moment, he pulled out the last intact saber, took out his handkerchief and wiped it a few times, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, and rushed over with a roar. Behind him was a jungle of bayonets.
"Take the position back"
Long Jiguang received two battalions reinforced by the Marine Corps and his hands were shaking.
After being surrounded, the Lushun Navy Arsenal did not stop production, and a large number of heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars and speed guns were built. A batch of former Qing dynasties and artillery seized from the Japanese army that were sealed in the early years were also renovated. At this time, Long Jiguang no longer had a large number of grenade launchers and mortars to the Marine Corps, equipped some naval light ship gunners, and the supplementary battalion was responsible for anti-munition boxes, and continued to reinforce.
The Japanese high-ballistic siege heavy artillery bombarded the Chinese artillery bases and the artillery positions in Baiyushan. However, due to the lack of air captain's force and the balloons were inferior to the Chinese airships, the Japanese army could only carry out blind coverage and attacks according to the pre-calibration or roughly, which led to the ineffective blocking of the Chinese army's reinforcements.
The Chinese army reinforcements followed the trench to reach the mountain position, and then moved northward from the trench on the back slope behind the mountain to Wangtai Mountain, Erlong Mountain and Songshu Mountain.
Cao Kun simply moved most of his troops to the garrison station on the reverse slope of Erlong Mountain, and tried his best to send his firepower forward. What he thought about now was to turn the defense and attack, and he would simply drive the Japanese completely before the Japanese troops came up.
At this time, Liang Wenda, the deputy chief of staff who led the reinforcement troops, saw the signal flares rising on the position, and did not care about the rear team, turned around and shouted: "Fire"
With the help of telephone command from the frontier positions, various types of weapons transported by the reinforcements exploded a wall of fire on the Japanese army's charge route.
Nakamura Taki was ready to take his follow-up troops to completely consolidate the victory. Unexpectedly, dense shells fell from the sky, and the Japanese army charging was almost swallowed up by the flash of explosions and smoke.
Almost at the same time, the Chinese army's support artillery group also began to bombard. After a rapid cooling, the Chinese army's artillery barrels had recovered their ability to attack, and part of the positions occupied by the Japanese army on Pineshu Mountain was immediately swallowed by the steel storm.
The orderly soldier next to him pulled Nakamura Katsura tightly, trying to pull the brigade commander into the fire, but Nakamura kicked him away, and looked at the situation opposite through the telescope like a devil.
The second battalion of the 7th Guards Regiment of the Japanese Army, which was charging, suffered a destruction blow.
The close-range artillery fire of the Chinese army was fatal, and countless shells were poured onto their heads, and they could not escape and escape. In just five minutes, the sharp guard brigade lost almost half of its troops.
Qiu Haiyang cut down a Japanese soldier with a knife, gasped exhausted, turned his head and looked at the Japanese follow-up troops hundreds of meters away struggling in artillery fire, and smiled, and suddenly there was a little more strength on his body. Just as he was about to turn around to find a few more opponents, he suddenly heard a shocking roar from the flank of the Japanese army: "Long live the empire"
In the flash of the explosion, a unit wearing a light blue uniform unfolded a horizontal lineup and showed a bayonet.
The Japanese soldiers on the opposite side had already noticed it, and hurriedly set up a formation and met with bayonets.
Unexpectedly, the group of Chinese soldiers in blue uniforms made a kneeling stance and launched a dense rogue of guns at an extremely fast speed, followed by raindrop grenades, and then a bayonet charge, and while charging, Lengzi was still shooting.
"The Marine Corps' calf" Qiu Haiyang couldn't help but curse, "Mother, she's still so shameless."
At this moment, Colonel Muto, who rushed to support, also scolded the same sentence in Japanese: "The shameless Chinese Marines Hagaya Lu"
Full of resentment, absolutely full of resentment.
The prototype gun of the Chinese Army's Type 3 rifle was the British-made Lienfeld rifle. In another time and space, this short-range rotating bolt rifle is recognized as the fastest and most powerful bolt rifle. It was served in the British army until the 1960s. In World War I, this rifle once fought against German soldiers in many battles, and was believed by many German survivors to "there are many ting machine guns on the opposite side", and will be unforgettable for the terrifying rain of bullets.
The Chinese Marines launched their hard-working "crazy one minute" strike, and frantically poured firepower towards the dense Japanese army at a speed of more than 30 shots per minute, and the Japanese army was almost crushed in an instant.
Chinese Army Supplementary Battalion.
Battalion Commander Wu Mingyun is from Annan. His ancestors were the Qin army who settled here after going south. His family was originally the oldest non-commissioned officer in the town. He was considered a family education. His father retired and became a political congressman after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. His son's military career was also smooth. Although the achievements of Lu University were average, fortunately, some of his father's old comrades were always taken care of. He was hunting the captain at the age of 26, and now he has become a supplementary battalion commander.
Wu Mingyun's xingzi probably followed his father. His father was famous for not being afraid of death in the army. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been on the front line many years ago. He was always considered a complete failure, but he had too many shrapnel in his body. He would have been unbearable when it rained. He became addicted to alcohol over time. His father complained that if he hadn't watched the ban on opium bans, he might have become addicted to smoking. With this family background, Wu Mingyun not only had a lot of alcohol, but also had blood heat and was in charge of strict control in the army, but because he set an example, he was sincere and had a good popularity.
Seeing the critical situation ahead, Wu Mingyun rolled up his arms and sleeves and wanted to go.
Deputy battalion commander and political instructor Guo Songling grabbed the live treasure and said hurriedly: "Old Wu, you can't go up like this."
Wu Mingyun glared: "Guo Guo, are you cowards?"
Guo Songling said solemnly: "Whoever is afraid is raised by the dog."
He turned around and pointed: "Look, our brothers were mobilized temporarily, and their combat quality and will cannot be compared with veterans. The current hand-to-hand combat is cruel, and it is still at night. If you want to go up like this, you may have to part with one meeting. We can't fight like this."
Wu Mingyun looked at the faces of many people, and gradually calmed down.
Deputy Battalion Commander Guo Songling is nicknamed "Guo Guo". He is a senior class in the Tactical Command Department of the Lu University. He graduated one year after graduation because the troops need to be replenished. Although he was only twenty-two years old, because he had worked in the border defense force before and had enough experience. In addition, the supplementary battalion was originally a temporary organization, so he, the lieutenant who drove the ducks, also got the title of deputy battalion commander.
Guo Songling and him muttered for a long time, and then the two of them acted on their own.
