108 Meat Grinder 1

"Let's start!" When the sound of artillery sounded again in the direction of Jiuliancheng, the Third Division of Kaitaro on the left wing finally launched an attack. The Japanese army used the division as an independent combat unit. In other words, this division will be equipped with a relatively complete organization, including infantry, artillery, engineers and cavalry! Therefore, Kaitaro's attack methods are also more diverse.

The opponent's artillery was very sharp. In the last attack, he easily wiped out Oshima Yoshihara's artillery team. Keitaro naturally learned the lesson. Artillery was just a support rather than a decisive force. What he really wanted to fight for was infantry and flanking cavalry!

"The Japanese are here!" With the rumbling sound of cannons, Japanese soldiers like tides launched a charge. The bayonets on the rifle flashed coldly under the sun. With the crazy roar, teams of Japanese troops began to charge towards the Qing army. At this time, Makenson was putting his own teaching troops inside the Qing army's defense line. The machine guns and artillery in their hands would serve as fire support for the entire flank.

"Let's fire!" At a distance of 400 meters, the mg91 heavy machine gun from Germany finally launched its first roar after its birth on the battlefield. These steel machinery weighing only a few dozen kilograms were spraying bullets towards the front at a rate of 600 rounds per minute! The fiery red bullets formed a long red whip and swept across the battlefield! The firepower net formed by several machine guns instantly blocked most of the Japanese attack!

The sudden barrage caught the Japanese army who had encountered this weapon for the first time off guard. Teams of soldiers were swept away like harvesting wheat. The entire offensive also stagnated. Many Japanese soldiers began to look for cover or lie on the ground to avoid the deadly rain of bullets. Once the impact lost its speed and strength, it was like losing!

When Katsura saw that the situation was not good, the artillery that had been prepared was pushed down at the forefront. However, after several test shots, the Japanese found that the opponent's machine gun bunker was very low, and under the cover of the terrain, it was difficult for the artillery to hit!

Then the Japanese artillery concentrated on attacking the Qing army at the junction. Under the intensive charge of artillery shells and bayonets, Liu Shengxiu's troops could no longer hold on!

"It's too dangerous for these guys to be comrades!" After avoiding the machine gun, the Japanese attack was still smooth. The Japanese army's army's front was like a huge chisel, cutting the defensive position bit by bit. If there was no supervision team, Makenson could guarantee that as long as the opponent had an impact, the entire defense line would be complete. Fortunately, Nie Shicheng's troops were still reliable, and they didn't expect to be very high in tactical skills, but at least they could be nailed to the position! If more than 4,000 people fought to the death, they could be dragged for a while!

"Firepower! The only thing that can stop the opponent is firepower!" Markenson concentrated some soldiers to push the 75mm rapid-fire cannon to move towards the position! Six 75mm rapid-fire cannons were pushed to the breakthrough, and shrapnel were pouring wildly less than 800 meters away from the opponent! Every roar of the cannon represents hundreds of projectiles flying towards the charge opponent, and the cannons, like big shotguns, were rapidly harvesting the lives of the attacking party!

Liu Shengxiu's troops can only strengthen their momentum, Nie Shicheng's troops can hold back their opponents, and the decisive force is the Russians and Germans! The patience and obedience of Russian grassroots officers and soldiers was fully demonstrated at this moment! Even if bullets whistle by their side, even if the Japanese bayonets are only a few meters away from them! They will still face the opponent without hesitation! The entire counterattack force is centered on rapid-fire cannons and a large number of infantry on both wings as auxiliary, hitting the Japanese army like engineering hammers!

"The German army is indeed worthy of being the world's number one army! France can be determined by one battle, it is indeed powerful!" Kanetaro, standing on a high place, looked at the German counterattack power in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

The core of the offensive army is four rapid-fire cannons. When the Japanese army gathered together to disperse their opponents in one go, tons of ammunition fired from the four cannons could fly the blood and flesh of the gathered Japanese army in a very short time! Each shot of the cannon will form a cone-shaped death area. In this area, whether you stand, squat or lie down, you will be beaten into pieces by dense shrapnel!

The Japanese army, which was forced to disperse, had no chance of winning against the Russian army that was grouped together! The wedge that was finally smashed into with blood and life was squeezed out little by little! The frontal battle was about to fall into a stalemate! At this moment, the first battle between the Japanese and Russian cavalry broke out between the Japanese and Russian cavalry!

In ancient times, cavalry played cavalry and shooting, while in modern times, they played group charges. Hundreds of cavalry were closely connected, slowly advancing when they were away from each other, and then started to accelerate less than 1 kilometer, and in the last few hundred meters, the speed was increased to the maximum! Reap the opponent's life with a rapid speed and a sharp saber!

The cavalry of both sides swept through the battlefield like a storm! Accompanied by the vibrations of the ground, the breath of horses, and the shouts of soldiers, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer! At the last 300 meters distance, the Japanese army, who had already picked up the sabre to welcome the final attack, suddenly found that their opponent took out a group of rifles that they had never seen before! Therefore, the last 200 meters distance became the bloody path of the Japanese cavalry!

Although the accuracy of using rifles on horseback is extremely poor, facing the dense formation of opponents and hundreds of automatic rifles on their sides, the accuracy is poor and the rate of fire is compensated! The elite Cossack cavalry who used ka92 semi-automatic rifles easily wiped out the magazines of 20 rounds in one breath at the last 200 meters! An iron storm was hitting the Japanese cavalry! In more than ten seconds, the cavalry and horses in the group were knocked down by flying bullets, and then trampled into a pool of meat paste by comrades behind them!

Although the sabers of both sides have not yet met, the result has been decided. Not many cavalry were put into battle. Before contact, the Japanese cavalry was killed by the opponent with almost cheating weapons! The remaining one was almost two Russian cavalry fighting one of the opponent! The result of the battle on this battlefield has been determined! The Japanese cavalry not only did not complete the task of threatening the opponent's flanks, but was repelled by the opponent's cavalry!

Although Katsura's concentrated elite forces was repelled, Japan was still the dominant one after another, depending on the losses of the personnel of both sides! The reason was largely due to the Qing army. If it was simply casualties, it was understandable, but what happened to counting a large number of missing people after the war? Moreover, many missing people came from troops that did not take part in the battle... Just this alone made Makenson feel that this battle could not be fought again!

If Katsura's attack at least severely damaged the Qing army and the Russian army, then Oshima Yoshima and Naomi Naomoto's attack would be completely a waste of people! At the Jiulian City, the casualties paid by the Japanese army were several times greater than the total casualties in the Korean War before!
