Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 156 Tokyo Massacre (3)
Nakamura also quickly adjusted his troop strength, and all the machine gun companies on the front line quickly concentrated on the main attack area of ​​the Qing army. The Chinese army must not be able to gain a firm foothold on the front line.

However, his opponent also reacted quickly. Feng Zicai keenly calculated the interval of the artillery and issued an order to retreat.During the short time when the artillery cooled the artillery, all the remaining soldiers of the 12th regiment withdrew.

Looking at the withered queue, Feng Zicai's expression was terribly gloomy.Although everyone who was withdrawn looked shaky, they still tried to stand up in front of their teachers.

Just coming down from the line of fire, Chen Shanyuan with a dark face leaned on a Mauser rifle and grabbed Feng Zicai, knelt on the ground and said: "Master, give me another battalion, I want to take back the bodies of those brothers. Don't let them be ruined by others."

Feng Zicai's eyes flickered, looked at the red-eyed soldiers around him, nodded suddenly and said, "Okay, I'll give you three more battalions."

Even Chen Shanyuan was stunned this time, but he woke up in a blink of an eye. He kowtowed to Feng Zicai while kneeling on the ground.Turned around and limped away.

Xu Bangdao, the brigade commander of the fourth brigade next to him, frowned and said, "Master, we can't be arrogant. People obviously guessed that we would attack them at night, so we made arrangements in advance. Aren't we sending sheep to the tiger's mouth?"

The 12th regiment was the main force of his fourth brigade. Less than half of the regiment was left in one charge, and if they charged again, they would all be gone.

"Damn it, I still need you to teach me how to fight?" Feng Zicai scolded angrily.

But before he could speak, Song Fangzhong, the brigade commander of the fifth brigade, smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, Bangdao, I'll arrange it right away. I promise to let the devil suffer a lot this time."

Half an hour later, Chen Shanyuan sent a messenger back to report that he not only took back the bodies of all the soldiers who died in battle, but also occupied the frontline positions of the Japanese army.

There was an uproar in the headquarters, saying that Chen Shanyuan is really a lucky general, and some even said that the main force of Chen Zan's fourth brigade was really amazing.

But what was even more strange was that Feng Zicai and Song Fangzhong's faces became even more ugly after hearing this news.

Xu Bangdao looked at the two and couldn't help but said: "Master, Brigadier Song, what kind of riddle are you playing? Tell us what's going on?"

Song Fangzhong sighed secretly before he spoke.It turned out that the division commander saw that the Japanese army had lined up all the machine guns in front, so he thought of a plan and sent Chen Shanyuan and a small number of soldiers to serve as bait, and secretly asked him to mobilize the mortar team to ambush behind him. Once the Japanese army attacked Chen Shanyuan, Knowing its firepower, you can use mortars with a high rate of fire and a large firing angle to give the Japanese army a hard blow and destroy their machine guns.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army retreated on its own initiative. Although the Qing army occupied the front line of the Japanese army, it failed to achieve the purpose of consuming the enemy's troops, and suffered heavy casualties.

It's hard to imagine that people are so resourceful, Feng Zicai felt a little tricky at this moment.

Since the Sino-British Burma War, the whole world has studied the mortars of the Qing Dynasty. In the battle, they will consider how much damage the mortars owned by the Qing army will bring to themselves, so the headquarters It has long been seen that the second charge was completely a bait, not only did the machine gun not fire a single shot, even the infantry had no place for them.

Nakamura also ordered the troops to rush to build a few more lines of defense behind the second line of defense.What he has to do now is to preserve his troops as much as possible while delaying the time, even if he retreats temporarily, it doesn't matter.

As long as the day breaks, he will not be afraid of any powerful surprise attack.At that time, the infantry's precise shooting will deal a greater blow to the Qing army!

"Teacher, I'm just wasting time. We won't come down until we attack them. We charged up and opened fire as soon as we reached the place where the grenades were enough, you bastards!" Chen Shanyuan said angrily.

Just when Feng Zi was about to speak, Feng Xianghua rushed in with his company of guards.

"My subordinates refer to the general." Everyone knelt down on one knee.

Feng Xianghua didn't speak either. He looked coldly at the main attacking position of Mt. Fuji, then turned to Feng Zicai and said, "Father, why haven't you broken through the expected forward position after fighting for so long? If your 2nd division can't do it, I'll have to replace it."

Seeing his son scolding Lao Tzu, Feng Zi was embarrassed, but he wanted to save Lao Tzu some face in front of such an officer, otherwise how would he lead troops in the future!
"General, to avoid conflict with our army, a machine gun company was deployed in the forward position. The brothers retreated after rushing a few times. Their machine gun company is very flexible and not rigid. The mortar can't find the target, so it is Delayed." Feng Zicai explained.

"I don't want to listen to your explanations. I'll give you the last hour. If I can't win, I'll replace you." Feng Xianghua turned and left after speaking.

"Master, your son has such a big temper. I think he was one of my generals when Xinjiang was regained," Xu Bangdao said casually.

"My son made first-class meritorious service in the Sino-French war, and later went to Germany to study and got the highest A. Look at our son, he still looks like our old Feng! Hahaha. Others come back and just mess around. A division commander, our son must at least be a group army general when he comes back!" Feng Zicai was full of happiness when he saw his son.

"Teacher, don't be so beautiful. Your son's military order is that if you can't fight it within an hour, you have to replace it! You said that if the boys from the 15th Division are able to fight it down, where will we put the signs of our 2nd Division in the future? ?” Xu Bangdao said angrily.

"Bah, I'll let that blind man take advantage of it? Lao Tzu's second division has never been left behind since its establishment. Go, let Cai Ning, the commander of the artillery battalion, come over for me." Feng Zi said vigorously.

"Yes." A soldier turned and left.

After a while, Cai Ning appeared in the headquarters.

"Teacher, you are looking for me."

"Well, you kid hasn't fought for a long time, so you don't know how to shoot cannons. Why are you fighting where no one is around?" Feng Zicai cursed.

"Master, the little devil's machine gun position is often shifted, just locked on the target and disappeared in a blink of an eye." Cai Ning said aggrieved.

"Don't talk nonsense to me. I'll give you another chance. In 15 minutes, let me bombard the devil's second-line positions and suppress their machine gun fire." Feng Zicai said without negotiating.

"Yes." Cai Ning turned and left.

The clock just pointed to 2 o'clock in the morning, and the artillery positions of the Qing Dynasty fired again. Except for the large-caliber heavy artillery, all the artillery was used.Even more imposing than before, the army's second-line defensive position was instantly blown up with mud.Is it true that some soldiers were swept out of the trenches by the air waves.

"Go ahead"

This time it was Xu Bangdao's Fourth Brigade who was in charge of the charge, and all three regiments rushed to the enemy's second-line positions without leaving any one behind.
