Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 157 Tokyo Massacre (4)
The tide-like Qing army rushed to the second-line defensive position, when it was close to the position at a distance of 200 meters.The machine guns in the position came to life again, and a series of bullets swept across the charging Qing army in an instant.

The Japanese army didn't know what stimulated the Qing army, making them desperate to take the Mount Fuji position.

The battle on Mt. Fuji reached its fiercest moment at this time. All the Qing soldiers on the way to the charge gasped and struggled hard to move forward on the muddy charge road.If you look down from a high altitude, you can see a flash of bayonets.The dignity of the country, the humiliation of the nation, the honor of the army, and the yearning for the future seemed to burst out at this moment, stimulating the nerves of every soldier, and everyone shouted at the top of their voices, echoing in the entire valley into an unstoppable explosion. sound.The barrage of the Japanese army was almost less than ten meters in front of their forward positions, and the shrapnel almost killed and wounded soldiers on both sides at the same time.Blood flowed, flesh shards flew, and the trenches were filled with the burnt black corpses of soldiers from both sides.

In order to hold their positions, the Japanese army could no longer avoid hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army.Immediately, the number of casualties soared at a terrifying speed.

The new army just formed by the Qing Dynasty lacked only experience. This can be seen from the survival ratio of veterans and recruits. In many cases, new soldiers used their courage to fight against the tactical advantages of the Japanese army.Feng Zicai believes that as long as there are a few more battles, the new army will become a real elite, an elite that can compete with the armies of the great powers.

In the binoculars, Feng Zicai saw the bravery and tenacity of the Qing army, but also saw many shortcomings, which must be addressed in future training.

In the trenches of the Japanese second-line positions, the khaki-colored Japanese army and the navy-blue Qing army were entangled together.The two sides used formal and informal fighting techniques to effectively kill each other's vital forces.

"Order the fifth brigade to rush up quickly and seize the opponent's artillery position. Ask Cai Ning to advance the artillery position. It is best to ride on the shoulders of the stormtroopers, aim and shoot directly, and hit the devil's command post." Feng Zicai put down the binoculars and roared. .

"Yes." A communications soldier hurriedly turned and left.

The battle was still going on, and the rapid advance of the Qing army made the original lines of defense useless.The fifth brigade quickly broke through the third line of defense and went straight to the Japanese artillery positions.

"General, what should we do? The assault team of the Qing army is only 1000 meters away from the artillery position. Because of the angle of elevation, the artillery can no longer shoot such a close target." An adjutant asked anxiously Nakamura value also.

"Let the Inoue Regiment stop the Qing army, and they must be wiped out in front of the artillery positions." Nakamura also responded quickly.

"Yes."

"boom"

A shell landed next to Nakamura's command post, and the signal soldier who had just run out was killed here.

"What's going on?" Nakamura asked in surprise.

But what he waited for was not the explanation given to him by his subordinates, but the uninterrupted sound of explosions.

"boom", "boom"

"It's a mortar from the Qing Dynasty." Someone called out.

"What, the Qing artillery positions have moved forward?" Nakamura was also quite surprised, "Hurry up, let the frontline troops organize a counter-charge and take back the first-line and second-line positions. You can't let the Qing army's mortars stand there. Let the artillery attack the front line."

"General, the artillery fire is too fierce, the communication soldiers can't rush out, and the order can't be issued." An adjutant said loudly, covering his head with one hand and supporting Nakamura with the other.

"Baga, send a few more communication soldiers, maybe we can rush out, and we must convey the order." Nakamura also said nervously.

"Yes."

After speaking, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers rushed out of the command post under artillery fire, but most of them were swept away by the air wave before taking a few steps, or were directly injured by shrapnel.

"General, it looks like you can't rush out." The adjutant said to Nakamura.

"Rush out with me, do you want to die here?" Nakamura also rushed out first.

On the other hand, the fifth brigade finally came to the artillery position after nearly 20 minutes of assault. An artillery regiment may not be as effective as a company in front of the army, not to mention that it is even more vulnerable in front of an army reorganized brigade.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Several huge explosions on the top of the mountain seemed to indicate that the assault was drawing to a close.

"Okay, order the whole army to dispatch and wipe out the Mount Fuji army." Feng Zicai put down his binoculars and gave the order happily.

"Yes." A communications soldier hurriedly turned and left.

After this battle, it took a whole night.The sky was bright in the early morning, and the two divisions of the Qing Dynasty were capturing prisoners all over the mountains and plains.

In the valley, there were sporadic gunshots and explosions from time to time.

The soldiers are no better than the British and French. Like the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, they are ashamed of being captured, and would rather be broken than whole.At this point, we have to admit that military owners have the same military integrity.

So after the general situation was gone, the sporadic fighting in the valley continued.

However, because the food and grass in the rear had been cut off, it could not be delivered in a short time. Feng Xianghua even boasted to the emperor that he would attack Tokyo within three days.It has been a day and a half now, so he is anxious to build his own heavy artillery position on Mount Fuji.

"Push up the heavy artillery for me, yes, right here, and aim at the Tokyo city below." Feng Xianghua personally directed the soldiers who were pushing the heavy artillery.

"boom"

There was another gunshot. Feng Xianghua was no stranger to such gunshots in this valley.But this time his eyelids twitched. He didn't know the reason, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"General General" A soldier with tears on his face ran over.

Feng Xianghua recognized him. He was the guard Ma Dezhong who had followed his father Feng Zicai for many years. Everyone usually called him Xiaoma.

"Xiao Ma? Why are you here? Isn't your second division preparing to assault Tokyo? Isn't it at the foot of the mountain?" Feng Xianghua felt a little ominous omen.

With a "plop", Xiao Ma knelt down on the ground, "General, Master, he insisted on going up the mountain to meet you, but he was hit in the heart by a wounded person on the way." After speaking, Ma Dezhong began to feel pain.

"What?" Feng Xianghua suddenly felt dizzy and was about to fall, but the guards around him rushed to hold him up.

"Father" Feng Xianghua pushed away the guards around him, and rushed out with the pony.

The guards around him hurriedly followed.

When Feng Xianghua arrived, Feng Zicai had already passed away.No matter how Feng Xianghua yelled and shook his father, he never woke up, even in the end he didn't confess to his son.

Feng Xianghua stood up, staring at the Tokyo city below the mountain with hatred.His eyes, as if about to burst into flames, told everyone that his hatred had reached its peak.

"Tell the two artillery battalions that the artillery positions must be completed before 10 o'clock, and the target Tokyo city has been continuously bombed for 5 hours! All troops are preparing to enter the city. According to the emperor's order, all military discipline will be temporarily canceled for three days after entering the city. If we don’t have our food, we can eat in the city!” Feng Xianghua seemed to be ready for a unilateral massacre!

"Yes."

"General, what do you want?" An adjutant was pushed away by Feng Xianghua before he could finish speaking.

Feng Xianghua continued to say to the soldiers in front of him, "Are you all from the Second Division?"

"Yes, we all are."

"How does Master Feng usually treat you?"

"The teacher is like my second biological father." "The teacher treats us well." "The teacher treats us very well."

"Okay, your teacher has been killed now. How should you deal with yourself?"

"Kill the boy, avenge the teacher!" Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, go back and sharpen your bayonets, and get ready to enter the city at 6 o'clock in the evening!" Feng Xianghua once again cast his eyes on the Tokyo city under his feet.
