Attack?" Everyone looked at each other, Cao was startled and asked, "Zi Gong, I heard it right?"

"The Japanese have been so fierce in the past two days, so it's our turn to start eating." Wu Peifu pointed out the window, "What's more, it's night now, which is convenient and concealed."

"But...why attack?" Almost no one can figure out this question.

"Master, listen to me, that's right."

"I..." Cao was stunned on the spot, his face turned from red to white, and then from white to red. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Prepare for a night attack."

"Master's seat!" There was a scream in the command post, and everyone else stood up, "You should be careful."

"According to the Chief of Staff's advice, I will take on any responsibility." At the critical moment, Cao took all the responsibilities - this is the most commendable thing about him, and he can let go of those he trusts.

In fact, it is difficult for Wu Peifu himself to give a particularly convincing reason for why he launched a night attack, but his intuition told him that after retreating according to the established plan, he needed to make certain adjustments - he never got tired of fraud.

At 2 am, it was a time of sleepiness. The Japanese who had been fighting continuously for several days were exhausted. Although they would launch artillery fire attacks tomorrow, they were already tired and tired of the battle. What's more, the human body's reaction was the slowest moment, and they were naturally not very clear about the movements of the National Defense Forces. Even the sentries patrolling outside were yawning and unable to stop rubbing their eyes and improving.

Suddenly, there were shouts of killing and gunfire. The third night attack team that quietly touched the Japanese position and started attacking.

The biggest difficulty in night combat is how to complete combat tasks with poor vision, followed by cooperation and dispatch between various troops. At this time, the number of troops is second. Because of limited venues and concealment, the deployment of large troops cannot bring much improvement, but it is easy to cause accidental injuries or expose traces in advance.

Wu Peifu carefully selected the selection of the night battle troops, and carefully selected 200 people based on the reconnaissance battalion of the entire division. He organized 10 tactical teams to carry out the battle. The battle was carried out with light machine guns as the core. The most skillful tactic of the National Defense Forces was to first use 60 mortars to open the circuit, use rapid fire to cover the fire, first make people beat the enemy, and give psychological impact. He also ignites the enemy's targets around the enemy's targets and instruct the targets for the troops to attack and indicate the targets. Generally speaking, the first round of the mortars must be as bright as daytime flares, and then the detonating bombs falling one after another.

Subsequently, the infantry used attack grenades to throw a distance with a long distance, and the area of ​​explosive shrapnel spread was relatively small, which was safer for the thrower himself. Infantry surrounding the machine gunners threw their grenades, either killed them, injured the enemy's targets, or simply suppressed them to the ground and could not move. Then, without waiting for the enemy to react, they swept across with a light machine gun. Sometimes they used rifles to "check out the leaks and fill in the gaps". When the two armies were close to each other, they usually had only 35 meters away from Japanese soldiers.

The first reaction was to install a bayonet on the rifle, and then exit the bullets in the barrel of the gun according to the requirements of the infantry warrior to prepare for combat. Although this was only a few seconds, it was greatly beneficial to the preemptive action of the night attack team. Many Japanese soldiers had just changed their bayonets and had not had time to withdraw the bullets, but were already hit by grenade shrapnel or knocked down by machine gun fire, or even knocked down by rifles surrounding the machine gunner. Even if the Japanese army picked up the rifle, it was still possible to be knocked down by the short guns of the National Defense Forces.

It is said that the first experience summarized by the Japanese army after the war was that the Chinese army was cunning, and they threw grenades and fired guns in front of bayonets, and they had no Bushido style at all. Although the 38th cover in the hands of the Japanese army was excellent and the gun body was long, they were useless fire sticks in front of firepower; the Japanese army also had many machine guns at this time, but they were all dumb and difficult to move quickly. Since the light machine gun was far inferior to the heavy machine gun in terms of firepower coverage, the number was far inferior to that of the National Wehrmacht, so it was 50 meters

The close-killing force within the distance was extremely disadvantageous. Because the requirements for the battlefield at this time were no longer accurate strikes, nor was the Bushido spirit that the Japanese army had always boasted about, but emphasized the firepower coverage and the amount of projectile projection projection per unit time. Although the National Defense Forces were relatively weak in hand-to-hand combat, it did not mean that its close-killing force was low. As soon as the battle was fought, the Japanese army suffered a great loss, which made the Chinese army tear open a wide gap, and the scene was chaotic, and the command of the 46th Regiment was all over. The team was defeated in one breath.

However, although the enemy army was in chaos, the three soldiers knew it themselves. Although the night attack of this counterattack was very powerful, the National Defense Forces did not invest much force, and the victory was based on the momentum, and it also showed its strength.

However, no matter whether it is physical strength, energy or ammunition, it is difficult to support the troops to continue to attack the Japanese army wake up and counterattack in a full-scale counterattack. The number of 200 people is not enough to be stuck in the gap. As long as the Japanese raided the team's retreat, everyone will be reimbursed here. Therefore, although the scene was spectacular, the night attack team was ready to escape. By observing the entire battle situation, they found that the Japanese's firepower had become fierce and they had almost taken advantage of the price, so they immediately commanded the troops to recover. Finally, they finally retreated to the main defensive position before the enemy completely woke up. They also seized the opportunity to fire three red signal flares to remind their defensive forces. When the Japanese pursued, the National Defense Force's artillery had already tacitly constructed a barrage, blocking the Japanese's followers.

After a whole night of hard work, the enemy gathered their troops and had the energy to make up the losses. Faced with the report submitted by his subordinates, the captain of the Bearded Regiment was unable to say anything. The 46 team suffered heavy losses in the past chaotic battle. In less than 15 minutes, due to guns and cannons, his own accidental injury caused 400 casualties to the corps, and the casualties to the night attack team were only human. The entire unit was in chaos. It took a lot of effort to reorganize the team, and the cunning Chinese troops took the opportunity to slip away.

But everyone is very proud of their face. In the telegram that reported to the tail of God, he boasted about the battle process, focusing on the "heroic" and "tenire" of the enemy's opponent, exaggerating the loss and degree of attack, but underestimated his own losses.

It was dawn, but the large-scale artillery bombardment that the Japanese originally planned to launch was postponed due to the night episode...

In the conference room of Xishan Base Camp, Tie Liangzheng presided over the situation report and the secret cabinet meeting. In addition to the emperor, the meeting also included ministers of various ministries and important members of the National Defense Forces.

"Everyone, this is roughly the case on the front line." General Tie Liang said after explaining the war in the previous stage, "The situation facing the empire now and the current situation are far worse and more difficult than described in the newspaper... The General Staff of the Base Camp held a one-day meeting today to discuss the combat plan of the Shandong Front Command, which in principle is considered feasible. This minister believes that if you either don't fight or to fight, you must beat the Japanese to hurt and beat them to retreat."

After saying that, he quietly waited for everyone's reaction. Although the media reported on the conflict between China and Japan in the newspapers, this kind of text was not a description of the real situation at all. Except for a very small number of ministers, all looked serious.

The emperor, who sat upright and sat upright, listened carefully while scanning the reactions of important personnel from the corner of his eyes - many people were surprised first, followed by incredible, and then suddenly realized or were worried. Sino-Japanese war started? That was a fatal matter. Many people still clearly remember the same Sino-Japanese war 20 years ago. Because of his resentment, "Your provocation and humiliation, the Qing Dynasty chose the war, but ended up losing. Not only did he join the Beiyang Fleet, but he also handed over 23,000 taels of silver and Taiwan...

"A lesson from the past..." Someone sighed in his heart. For war, especially foreign wars, these important members who have come through the storms and storms, there is an indescribable feeling of sorrow. Since the British started a war, foreign wars on China have almost no good results. They either pay compensation for land cessation or open trade ports, and grant "most-favored-nation treatment". War has become a nightmare for almost every ruler. What will happen this time?

"I wonder what kind of opinion is Premier Xu?" After everyone looked at each other, the emperor's question interrupted the silence at the right time.

Seeing everyone's eyes "scandal" on him, Xu Shichang began to be anxious. Is this attitude really hard to express...?
