Chapter 84 Fighting Pyongyang again (4)

The lingering sound of the command was still echoing, and a little bit of fire suddenly flashed on the guards' trenches! The Japanese officers and soldiers rushing in front were like a sudden sweeping wheat by a sickle, shaking and falling down a large area.

The screams were heard uncontrollably, with people falling head-on everywhere. However, the Japanese were really ruthless. As long as the officer did not fall, the commander's knife would always point forward and give loud orders to let the soldiers rush out quickly!

The Guards' rifles had been fired one after another, and bullets poured out. However, the Japanese army still did not stop. Although the formation was already chaotic, it was doubled. The main forces of the two elite registrars of the 11th Division had never thought about retreating since the attack was launched!

The artillery's firepower was accurate and the shooting was fierce. The infantry counterattack was just right. However, there were too many Japanese troops on the opposite side, and the intensive attack of 7,000 people was still approaching even in the face of such a blow. What was even more unfavorable is that the exposed firepower points began to attract the suppression of Japanese artillery fire.

The enemy on the opposite side was still advancing silently, so close that they could distinguish the difference between officers and soldiers. Even then, the Japanese artillery was still firing.

Although the indiscriminate artillery fire strike caused a large number of casualties from the Japanese army, it caused greater damage to the Guards. The mortar fire points could not continue to provide support, and the light machine gunners began to move and shoot. Although this could reduce the chance of being "named", the lethality brought to the Japanese army was also reduced!

The Qing army's positions became closer and closer, and it was clear that bullets were raising rows of small mud pillars on the Qing army's defense line. The Qing army's muzzle, which was already shining, was already much more dull.

"This won't work. Brigade Commander Liu, let the reserve team go up, they can't stand it anymore!" Yuan Shikai's face turned pale. From their perspective, the Japanese army had already overlapped with the Guards' positions!

"Go to your uncle!" Liu Feng looked ahead with a blue face, and he looked tightly at the front, where he was concerned about the superiority and inferiority! "Now the Japanese artillery attacks without discrimination. Are you just a few people? You were gone after being bombarded by the cannon. Are you going to die?"

Yuan Shikai gritted his back teeth. In terms of battlefield command, he was not even as good as a company commander of the Guards, but he knew that Liu Feng was right. Faced with the Japanese style of fighting, unless there is artillery suppression or sufficient soldier reserves, it will be over!

"Wait for three minutes! The Japanese did not stop the shelling, so they let the mortar battalion and Maxim attack towards the front of the position to cover the retreat of the two battalions!" Liu Feng said helplessly.

Until the Japanese army approached about 100 meters and the damage caused to the Japanese army by artillery damage was even more serious than that of the Qing army, the Japanese artillery finally stopped shooting. At this time, the Japanese army began to make earth-shaking shouts, and bayonets surged, launching a final attack on the Guards!

At the top of the Japanese command post, Kotomoto held a telescope and looked at the scene opposite him. He saw his super dense crowd struggling in front of the enemy's positions, and the dead were all over the place, which was impossible to estimate. But there were more people panting past the craters and corpses under his feet, surging up in groups.

Although the Imperial Guards were trying hard to open fire, it was still useless. At least from his angle, you could clearly see the dense black military uniforms that were already covered on the opposite hillside.

Chief of Staff Shigeto Kanjun, who was beside him, held the telescope in his hand and shouted in a muffled voice: "Breakthrough!"

Kotoshizuo responded: "Breakthrough!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Chun of Chongto put down his telescope and shook his head slightly: "I finally broke through, but, you, there are heavy casualties this time..." Facing Chaoyang, Chongyuan Neng saw tears flashing in Guan Chun of Chongto's eyes.

He walked up to hold Chong Teng's shoulders and said solemnly: "Believe me, these are worth it!" He pointed to the position of the imperial guards opposite: "We have defeated the strongest legion of the Qing Dynasty! After such an enemy goes, no Qing army can stop us from advancing! As long as we take Pyongyang, the Qing army in the south will be in the jar, and North Korea is already ours!"

The guard position. The splashed sand and stone hit Liu Xin's black face. He had already thrown away his rifle and replaced it with a more satisfying light machine gun. He pointed to the opposite side and shouted: "This is a national war! Soldiers, don't forget the honor and responsibility of our guards! The people in my hometown are watching us! The country raises soldiers for thousands of days, just for this moment! Machine gunners, open fire! Break out the backbone and dignity of our Chinese men!"

The light machine gun that had been suppressed for a long time immediately ejected bullets fiercely, and Maxim's shooting also changed from backward to flat shooting. The bullets passed like a pour, and Japanese soldiers let out long or short wails, and then fell down and did not move.

Because they were unable to carry artillery, the Second Cavalry Brigade strengthened the machine gun fire as much as possible. Each battalion was equipped with four Maxim and each platoon was equipped with two light machine guns. The two battalions on the front position of the Qing army spewed out a total of forty-four flame tongues! The copper sound was in one piece, and the shells splashed. Like a sickle towards the god of death, they harvested the Japanese people who were so dense that they could not be denser!

The lethality of Maxim who was shooting flatly was unimaginable when she treated the infantry that charged intensively. The blood mist was no longer splashing in clusters, but spreading in clusters, as if it was gushing. The rate of firing of 600 shots per minute smashed the human body of the first row of soldiers, and then embedded it into the second row and the third row of soldiers again. Looking out from the fire point occupied by Liu Xin, as the gun body swinged, I saw that in front of the position, the crowd in black military uniforms twisted and fell down indiscriminately. In addition to the gushing red and red in the eyes, the human body fragments torn by machine guns - especially Maxim - heavy bullets - were flying around, and the flesh and blood alleys were plowed out.

Such a large amount of blood gushed out almost at the same time, causing the land to quickly lose its ability to absorb blood, allowing these red liquids to flow down the mountain like a stream!

Forty-four light and heavy machine guns fired volleys on the narrow front. This firepower density is not enough for anyone to fill! The pitiful firepower of the Murata-style single-shot rifles on the opposite side was instantly overwhelmed, and the bodies falling in front of the trenches were stacked up layer by layer. Japanese officers and soldiers were massacred without any concealment.

The firepower of the machine guns was so dense that the Japanese army in the front row were almost beaten into a pile of mixed meat paste! From east to west, on the front less than a thousand meters, there were Japanese corpses dead in various postures. The Japanese army behind moved forward with inertia and were plowed over by dense firepower. In just a short while, the Japanese army almost penetrated the thick attack queue of the Japanese army!

Looking at the massacre-like battlefield, Yuan Shikai's personal soldiers almost vomited out the trees beside him. As for Dayuanjun, he had long been scared to faint.

Katamura Sai looked at the fallen soldiers in front of him, jumped up in despair, waving his family's saber: "You guys, let's die here in battle!"

The situation took a sharp turn!

In Kotomoto's telescope, the originally expected black sea tide flooded the land did not appear. On the contrary, the space in front of the Guards' positions began to be widened. Fifty meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters, and three hundred meters!

"Baga!!"

Koto Tomoto suddenly broke his beloved Zeiss telescope and howled angrily!

"Secretary Commander!"

The staff immediately surrounded him.

Chong Yuan Guangfu raised his hand suddenly, stopped the staff members who were surrounding him, took a few rapid and deep breaths, and stabilized his emotions. "The end of the strong crossbow, the end of the strong crossbow! Order..."

Kotomoto, who quickly calmed down his emotions, immediately issued a new order: "The 12th Regiment takes over, charge immediately, don't pause! The artillery immediately covers the enemy's positions and knocks off their machine gun firepower points! I will not give orders, the artillery's shooting is not allowed to stop! Do not supervise the team, pull the machine gun up, and suppress the shooting of the enemy's positions! Chief of Staff..."

Shigeto Kanjun immediately said: "Hi!"

"You go down immediately and collect the withdrawn soldiers. Don't blame them, but re-form the formation immediately and continue the attack!"

"Hi!"

Shigeto Kanjun knew that this was a critical moment, so he turned around and left without saying a word.

"Come!"

The two lieutenants and staff immediately ran over.

"Tell the order, the 44th Regiment will attack the enemy's flank positions at all costs. It is necessary to restrain the current enemy and not give them time to breathe, and create conditions for the attack of the main position! Order the cavalry brigade to be ready to attack at any time!"

"Hi!"

Although the Japanese army was repelled for the first attack, this was the most critical moment. The Japanese army accumulated troops for 20 years and countless excellent military talents were countless. Kotoko Koto made the most correct decision in the shortest time!

"Oops!"

When Liu Feng saw the Japanese army rushing in like a tide again, he knew that this time he might really be unable to withstand it!

The Japanese army has made a mistake once, and this time, the Japanese commander will never make the same mistake again.

Sure enough, the Japanese artillery fire was always accompanied by the infantry's offensive steps, and no one stopped. Many of the machine gun positions exposed after the first use were overturned by large-caliber artillery, while the light machine gun began to malfunction due to the overheating of the barrel, and the Qing army's firepower was suppressed!

Liu Feng grabbed Yuan Shikai and said, "How many North Korean soldiers can be used in his hands?"

When Yuan Shikai knew that this time was not concerned about Guan Yi, he quickly replied: "There are less than 10,000 armed people, and there are more than 20,000 strong ones!"

Liu Feng stared at Yuan Shikai and said, "Mr. Yuan, our mission is to stick to it until dark. Now there are less than eight hours before dark, but this time the front line position will definitely not be able to withstand it. I need to set up the No. 2 defensive position immediately. Leave your three personal barracks to me, take my battalion away. After returning to Pyongyang, you will immediately organize the North Koreans to arrange city defenses and throw all the flammable ignition objects near the city wall outside the city. The No. 2 defensive position cannot be separated for a long time. Pyongyang City is our last line of defense, so it must not be missed! Can it be done?"

Yuan Shikai looked at Liu Feng, then tidied up his clothes, and then bowed: "How can you be the end of your life? Yuan's wealth and life are all in North Korea. Even if it's for himself, he will fight to the end!"

"Okay, time is urgent, I won't say anything more, but please believe that we will definitely win!"

At this time, the Japanese army had already attacked the No. 1 defensive position, and the Japanese artillery was still conducting extended shooting and indiscriminate fire. Although the Japanese army had a higher casualty ratio - the number of Japanese soldiers was more and the formation was denser - no matter what, this tactic was successful!

Once they entered the hand-to-hand combat mode, the Japanese army's advantage immediately appeared. Although the later North Korean soldiers also burst out with their final blood at this time, they did not undergo systematic training and had no assassination skills at all. They were only supported by pure emotions and physical bodies. The number of soldiers of the Guards with rich experience and comprehensive skills was only half of the Japanese army, and the battlefield situation began to tilt like the Japanese army!
