Chapter 91 Fushan Offensive and Defensive Battle (1)

The battle for the commanding heights outside Fukuyama City was the hardest bone in this Qing army battle. The Japanese artillery fire and bullets were fast and steady. In the twenty minutes at the beginning of the war, the Zhong** team did not even take down the position of 100 meters at the foot of the mountain, and passively lay on the ground and was beaten.&*.

Shi Huali quickly jumped out of the crater, and a tiger pounced on the spot. Several bullets on the ground that had just fallen behind him shot into the soil, shooting a piece of turf, making a blunt sound, "Old Shi, here!" It was Zhang Xianghou who was shouting.

Shi Huali's feet kept stopping, and before the Japanese army could tell the route of his movement, he had already jumped to the back of a gentle slope and curled up, "How is it? Are your people seriously injured?"

"I didn't die much, but if I continue like this,..." Zhang Xianghou leaned over and pulled him closer to him, and said, "If we continue like this, we can't move at all, so we have to think of a way."

Shi Huali's eyes swept back and forth, and there were soldiers lying in the cracks of the mountain road everywhere, and the Japanese guns and bullets fell like raindrops on the mountain, and people were shot from time to time. It seemed that life was not serious, but the repeated screams made people feel nervous: I don't know how many people there are on the mountain, why are the gunshots so dense that there is no time to stop?

Shi Huali cursed in his heart, and suddenly a burst of blood surged up. He held the rifle in his hand tightly. Zhang Xianghou saw it at a glance. Before he could make a sound to stop him, he had already climbed up, knelt down on one knee, picked up the light rifle, fired violently, then lay down, changed into a row of magazines, and waved his hand in the air, "Brothers, rush up with me!"

Seeing the first battalion of officials rushing forward, it greatly inspired the Qing soldiers' chests to be passionate, and each raised their rifles and moved quickly to the top of the mountain. The Japanese gunfire became more and more fierce. Shi Huali staggered and fell between the hillsides, and his right leg was bleeding! He didn't even look at it, and continued to rush hard.

More and more Qing soldiers followed him, screaming, shooting and running towards the mountain. This attack method is destined to be heavy casualties, and the only problem is whether they can persist.

More than 600 soldiers from the two battalions fell on the offensive front, including eight team leaders! Shi Huali was shot in the leg again, and no matter how brave he was, he could not hold back. His legs became weak and he sat on the ground, "Come and help me, run quickly!" Even though he could not move forward, he was still commanding the soldiers and attacking bravely.

The soldiers who wanted to stop to rescue the chief did not dare to neglect them. They kept running upwards and Shi Huali looked down. The two battalions of Yang Shaoting and Gai Yongde also appeared in their sight, following the footsteps of their comrades and coming to the top of the mountain.\\9vk.com start\\

The first wave of attacks continued until less than fifty meters away from the top of the mountain, and then gradually slowed down. The reason was no wonder that this was the first mountain defense line built by the Japanese army. The soldiers on both sides were lying between the hillsides and in the trenches, firing bullets at the other side. The light rifle firepower was powerful, and within a distance of less than fifty meters, it gave the enemy the greatest blow.

A series of fire grenades were thrown out, and the Japanese army also suffered large-scale casualties. Listening to the fierce howls and groans from the enemy's positions, the morale of the Qing soldiers was greatly boosted. "Zhang Xiao, Wu Yaozeng," Zhang Xianghou Zhen shouted, "Take people up!"

Zhang Xiao was the only remaining team leader. He didn't dare to pause when he heard the manager's words. He crawled out a few steps, pulled out a fire grenade, shouting an order, "Cover the fire grenade!"

Another rain of bullets composed of fire grenades fell in front of the Japanese position. In the smoke and dust that was bombing violently, Zhang Xiao and Wu Yaozeng led a small team of soldiers to cross the line of fire in an instant. The twelve people with the fastest pace of the Qing army weakened their legs, and they had already stepped on the bodies and wounded Japanese soldiers all over the trenches and jumped into the enemy's trenches.

The Japanese soldiers were shocked. They didn't expect the enemy to reach the front of them so quickly. A sergeant in the leader raised his hand and shot an enemy. When he wanted to fire, the bullets were already empty. He was really flexible in his movements. He turned around and used force, pulled out the battle knife from his waist, and slashed with all his strength!

A Qing soldier was immediately cut by this knife, and he had a sharp and powerful knife! He cut in from the middle of his face, and then cut through it, along with the tip of his nose and lips, the soldier screamed bitterly, turned over and fell, covering his lips that were almost cut in half, and screamed in pain.

The sergeant drew his sword and wanted to take action, but the enemy who followed him no longer gave him a chance. He bang the rifle several times and opened several transparent holes in his chest. The Japanese sergeant hummed a few times, leaned on the ground with his knife, murmured and cursed a few times, and fell down.

The resistance of the Japanese army in the trench became crazy, and they fought to the death without retreating. All the bullets in the guns had been exhausted. What can be done now is to fight against the enemy with both hands and teeth. A Qing soldier was pressed under the Japanese soldier, and his neck was stuck by the opponent's hands. He used all his strength to shrink inward. The soldier's face turned blue and purple, his vision gradually blurred, blood appeared in the bottom of his eyes, and his feet pedaled on the ground in vain, rubbing a large ball of soil.

The Japanese soldiers riding on him did not dare to relax until they smelled the stench coming from under his body that they remembered to look down. The short Chinese man's neck was stuck! Just as he was about to turn over, his intuition told him that someone behind him was not enough to turn around, and the neck became cold. A Qing army inserted a dagger into his blood vessel and pulled it out quickly. The blood was sprayed out uncontrollably. The Japanese shouted, covering the wound in vain and fell down. After a while, his hands and feet began to twitch before dying.

The less than 300 people in the Qing army were able to attack the positions, but they had to face enemies that were twice as many as their own. However, this kind of force confrontation was never good at the soldiers of the two provinces of Guangxi. After the initial panic, the scene showed a one-sided situation. The Qing army was killed and retreated step by step, and could not hold on at the sight.

At this moment, another Qing army arrived on the top of the slope at the right time, and Yang Shaoting and Gai Yongde's troops rushed up. Nearly a thousand people were added to the aid of the aid, and the remaining Qing soldiers mustered up Yu Yong and rushed up again with their comrades.

The sound of gunfire sounded in his ears, and Zhang Xiao felt his body sinking. The bodies of three or two Japanese soldiers fell down and pressed him down, making him unable to breathe. He arched hard a few times, like a strong dung beetle. Zhang Xiao crawled out of the pile of corpses. The trench that had just fought desperately was gradually calming. Chen Ye, the gunfire sounded in the alley next to him, and there was still fighting there!

He picked up a gun from the ground, pulled off the empty magazine, replaced it with a new one, stood up by the wall in difficulty, moved his footsteps, and chased after him again.

At 7:30 in the morning, the Qing army finally occupied the first line of defense of the Japanese army. The price paid was that Shi Huali and Zhang Xianghou's two battalions suffered more than 90% of the losses! Even the two Guandao were also injured and were carried down to rest; and all ten teams in the two battalions were killed except for one Zhang Xiao!

The Japanese army suffered heavy losses. The Fifth Town Territory stationed at the commanding heights outside Fukuyama Castle was the Fifth Town Territory, which is the two infantry corpses of the Second Brigade of the Fifth Division belonging to Hiroshima Prefecture. The total number of defenders exceeded 3,400. According to the Japanese army's army's army's army's army's army's numbers were 19 and 23. One of the 19th Regiment's first line of defense was garrisoned at the commanding heights. After the battle, the trenches were filled with Japanese corpses. After a rough count, there were 400 people.

Yang Shaoting and Gai Yongde ordered the soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield, and there was no need to mention these. The two took the opportunity to rest for a while and discussed countermeasures, "Do you see how to fight next?"

"Old Shi and Lao Zhang's two battalions have been fought. If we move forward like this, we are afraid that by taking this place, we will become one of them." Gai Yongde said, "We have to think of some other solutions."

"I think it's better to do this. Sun Desheng Camp has a heavy machine gun. I will adjust the heavy machine gun and use its baffle to cover us forward."

"How can this work? How many people can be blocked by a heavy machine gun? It's just a drop in the bucket. I think I have to find the military gate to ask for people and guns! Attack together in two strokes to see if it can have some effect."

The two argued a few times, and no one could convince the other party, but there was a basic consensus: the remaining more than a thousand people would definitely not be enough to deal with the subsequent battle, so we had to send people up the mountain to participate in the battle together. "You take people here to rest, I'll go down the mountain." After saying that, Gai Yongde stood up, squatted, and guarded by several personal soldiers, and went down the mountain all the way.

After listening to his report on the battle situation on the mountain, Hu Xiaomao felt deeply embarrassed. It was not that there were no people, but if they were all consumed on this hill outside the city, what if they waited for a while to enter the city? Nearly a thousand people were lost in this hour. How many trump cards can I have to master?

While hesitating, a few people rushed into the command center. It was Yan Guangru, Xu Mingchang and Li Yaoan, who were also sweating all over. The mud dyed his forehead and face gray, "See the military gate."

"How is it? Is it going well?"

"Not good." Yan Guangru shook his head vigorously, and the sweat on his face dripped with the movement. "The Japanese resistance was very tenacious. The brothers suffered heavy casualties."

"Now we have taken down two lines of defense of the enemy, but the more we move forward, the closer the enemy's counterattack. The third front has changed hands twice."

"Military Sect, this won't work. We can't afford to die so many people!"

"I thought of it too," Hu Xiaomao pondered for a while and asked, "How many heavy machine gun battalions and artillery battalions do we have in total?"

"There are four heavy machine gun battalions in total, and two artillery battalions."

"Divid half each." Hu Xiaomao said, "and with Huang Neng, Wang Shiyao and Chen Bing's second and sixteenth battalions, I personally led it to kill from the east road, and strive to reach the city of Fushan, so as to relieve some of the frontal pressure. As for the remaining three battalions, one artillery battalion for the troops fighting for the top of the mountain, and two heavy machine gun battalions for the frontal breakthrough troops, that's it."

"The military gate is so dangerous that it is approaching Fushan City. At that time, the enemy will be attacked on both sides. I am afraid of being humble..."

Hu Xiaomao grinned, but said nothing more. He just patted Yan Guangru on the shoulder, "Let's do it, go down and prepare for the battle."

Yan Guangru and others were all trained by him. Knowing the temper of this commander, he gave Huang Neng a wink - he was the leader of the personal guard camp - and they all turned around.
