Emperor’s Battlefield: I, Zhu Houzhao, like to push horizontally

Chapter 125 The bugle sounds and the decisive battle begins!
"Report, our army has captured the first front."

In the headquarters, the communications soldier loudly reported the good news.

Xu Da nodded slightly.

"Order to hold your position and wait for the next order."

"The firearms troops are indeed harder to defeat than those cold weapon troops."

Xu Da hung up the phone, looked at Zhu Houzhao next to him, and sighed.

Zhu Houzhao returned the look of approval.

The weapons of the little Japanese melon on the opposite side are indeed much behind them.

If you are facing a field battle or even a plain position battle.

This group of little Japanese melons had long been overwhelmed by the armored division.

But in this mountainous situation, the armored division was greatly restricted.

The troops can only engage in positional warfare in a disciplined manner.

There are strong fortifications on the opposite side, which makes up for the shortcomings of their backward weapons.

"The other side is not stupid, they will definitely take advantage of the darkness to launch a counterattack!"

Zhu Houzhao gave his own judgment.

Xu Da nodded in approval and chuckled, "I'm just waiting for him to counterattack."

Zhu Houzhao looked at him.

Raising his finger and pointing to the mountain peak in the distance, Xu Da expressed his thoughts.

"The battlefield gave them a perfect defensive position. Our artillery bombardment seemed ferocious, but it didn't do much damage to them."

"If we continue like this, if we want to completely defeat the opponent, it won't be over in a day or two."

"We can handle it, but our ammunition stores cannot."

Zhu Houzhao nodded in approval.

We were well prepared before setting off, but the quantity was ultimately limited.

A quick victory was the combat policy set by Zhu Houzhao and Xu Da.

But this kind of defense is in a mountainous terrain and has firearms. It is difficult to achieve a quick victory.

The advantage of solid defense has virtually brought both sides to the same front.

If he wanted to kill a large number of enemies, with Zhu Houzhao's current military equipment, artillery bombing could not achieve the target, and he could only let the infantry fight at close range.

Night fighting is an opportunity for the enemy, and it is also the best opportunity for Zhu Houzhao's troops to kill the opponent's effective forces.

In the daytime battle, the enemy moved troops and the losses were definitely considerable.

If you want to organize a strong force to attack the first line of defense, you must remove the force from other lines of defense.

In this way, the defensive strength of other lines of defense will be greatly weakened.

Coupled with the impact of darkness on sight.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the sky with a smile.

If all goes well, this war should be over before dawn tomorrow.

The first front is lost.

Emperor Meiji was furious and ordered the two troops to continue the attack and regain the first position at all costs.

Emperor Meiji was actually not good at military command. He was better at mastering the general direction.

In the past, when facing weak enemies, his meager military command ability did not show any disadvantage.

But now facing the powerful Ming Dynasty, his shortcomings in command ability were exposed.

The enemy has an air and ground attack.

At this time, letting one's troops attack a defensive position with powerful firepower would be an act of suicide.

The officers all saw the problem.

Faced with the suggestions put forward by his subordinates, Emperor Meiji refused without hesitation and asked the man to lead the attack.

This is where it gets uncomfortable.

He knew he was going to die, but he couldn't refuse the emperor's order.

The officers could only lead the troops in frustration and launch a pig-like attack to regain the first line of defense.

The Ming army, which occupied the first line of defense, only took a short time to set up the defense line.

General machine guns, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns are everywhere.

Plus the assault rifles in the hands of each officer, as well as the submachine guns in the hands of the squad's stormtroopers.

That intensive firepower makes people go crazy.

The little Japanese melons bit the bullet and shouted "Onboard!"

Groups of people launched a charge towards the position.

Yes, in droves.

The Meiji army, which had just converted from ancient troops, still had a very rigid offensive method.

In fact, not only them, but also the West, the people they studied from, are still using the human sea charge tactic at this moment.

Facing the rows of charging warriors, the soldiers could not be polite and frantically harvested each other's lives.

At the same time, the division's mortars also launched frantic attacks on the charging Xiaowogua.

The offensive forces are equipped with 60 mortars.

Under rapid fire, it can fire more than 1 rounds in one minute.

Coupled with numerous heavy firepower, the air and ground were struck together.

The several attacking units of Little Wagua all fell between the first and second lines of defense.

Dense piles of corpses formed a hill.

Dark red blood flowed down the slope and into the trenches of the first line of battle.The bloody massacre finally awakened the crazy Emperor Meiji.

Amaterasu.

This counterattack lasted less than an hour, and more than 6000 people fell from both sides.

He only has the upper limit of 2 troops.

If this happens a few more times, he will have no one left.

Listen to the casualty figures reported by your men.

Emperor Meiji suppressed the anger in his heart and issued an order to retreat and defend.

Looking at the position outside covered by artillery smoke, Emperor Meiji's eyes flashed with coldness.

If I can't beat you during the day, I won't believe you won't sleep at night.

As Xiaowogua retreated to the second line of defense, the battle that lasted most of the afternoon finally stopped.

After statistics.

A total of eight people were killed in the Ming army. Although there were a few more injuries, most of them were minor injuries.

As for the opposite.

Although accurate data is not available, according to the estimates of the staff, it is conservatively estimated that at least half of the damage was done.

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with this result.

Not only did he praise the attacking troops, he also asked the logistics troops to prepare a rich hot meal.

Being able to eat hot meals on the battlefield is already a very luxurious act.

I don’t know if it was because the smoke on the battlefield was too thick or if it was just bad luck and it was cloudy.

After dark, there is no light in the sky, let alone the moon, there are no stars.

Emperor Meiji was very satisfied with this environment.

After waving gently, several officers bowed deeply to him, turned around and walked out of the headquarters, leading the troops on the opposite side towards the first position.

I wonder if Emperor Meiji was mentally ill.

Our own casualties were so heavy, and the enemy's attack firepower was powerful.

His best choice now is to use the defense line of the position to wear down the enemy's ammunition and soldiers bit by bit.

But he was fine.

Not only did they not consider this, they instead removed the defensive troops and attacked the meaningless first line of defense.

"Boom..."

A deafening explosion broke the tranquility of the night.

The Ming Dynasty troops with rich combat experience laid mines in front of their positions as early as it was getting dark.

The attacking troops of Little Wagua originally wanted to crawl forward and approach slowly.

Unfortunately bad luck.

An unlucky guy put his hand on a mine.

"Whoosh..."

Several rounds of illumination bombs flew into the sky, illuminating the dark night.

With their whereabouts exposed, a sneak attack will naturally fail.

Retreating at this time is the best option.

But the officer's head also seemed to have a hole in it.

When they were still more than 100 meters away from the position, they launched a desperate attack.

With an onboard sound.

The little Japanese melons are like crazy people.

Holding the rifle with the bayonet, howling and launching the charge.

"Fire!"

"Da da da……"

A fierce battle started instantly.

Facing Ming's crazy tongue of fire, the charging little Japanese melons fell to the ground in pieces.

"Grumbling..."

On the second line of defense of Xiaowagua, Kojiro was lying on the trench, watching the firefight in the distance on the first line of defense.

Suddenly, I felt a gust of wind blowing above my head, and then something rolled down into the trench.

He looked down subconsciously.

It was something with an iron bump on top, a wooden handle on the bottom, and smoke.

Kojiro was a little confused and reached out to pick it up.

"Boom..."

A Ming army officer jumped out of the darkness, raised his pistol and waved forward.

"Brothers, follow me..."

"Beep beep... beep..."

The loud charge horn sounded in the darkness.

"kill…"

The densely packed soldiers of the Ming Dynasty jumped out of the darkness with shouts, carrying rifles with bayonets in hand, and launched a charge towards the frightened little Japanese melons.

The hot-blooded charge horns and the shocking shouts of killing resounded throughout the entire mountain battlefield.

The bugle sounded and the whole army charged!
The Ming Dynasty's charge will not sound easily. Once it sounds, it will be the final decisive battle.
