Chapter 200 Dandong War 3 unprecedented heavy hit

"An unprecedented heavy hit!"

Thinking about the words of the Japanese army in tactical orders, Lu Guang Quan thought that you are the one who really wants to be injured!

He thought, sneered, stared at the military map in front of him and thought in his heart.

The reconnaissance company has figured out the deployment of the nearby troops, and also found a team of Song Qing's remnants, about 400 people, in Laowozi Mountain. They temporarily suppressed it back and reased the commanders to reorganize them into two reserve companies.

General, there are many in the Huguang camp.

Coldly, there was a dense sound of artillery in the distance. In the rustling sound, the shells exploded on the ground and roared.

After confirming that Liu Ming's transmission department had been concentrated in Yuanbao Mountain, the general attack of Japan finally began, and a large area of troops rushed across the Yalu River towards the tide and gathered along the shore.

Because of the lack of manpower, and in order to make the Japanese army more dense, Lu Guangzuan withdrew the defense line deeper, forming a curved defense line, retaining two infantry vertical and Ma Jinxu as reserve forces.

After crossing the Yalu River all the way unimpededly, the Japanese army has confirmed the conclusion obtained by the scouts - Liu Ming's biography of the Qing army is gradually giving up the defense line along the river. Dashanyan is also full of confidence in this, allowing the three divisions to compress the front at the same time, and strive to use Jiuliancheng as the base camp for the follow-up attack.

After crossing the Yalu River, at least six infantry regiments and about 20,000 troops of the Japanese army reorganized the front, divided into four routes, crossed forward, and covered each other. The subsequent artillery fire was still under continuous bombing to cover the advance of the infantry.

Lu Guang Quan retreated very deeply, and dug a large number of individual pits in the woods, carried stone walls, and used the sentries and bunkers abandoned by Zuo Baogui and Nie Shicheng to form a hidden defense line.

War is a battle of physical strength and life, as well as a battle of intelligence and courage.

Lu Guang Quan carefully calculated that the position that Liu Mingchuan asked Ma Jinxu to guard is reasonable. Once the Japanese army occupied the position and transported the 155mm howitzer, it could completely bombard Liu Mingchuan's left-wing troops, that is, the left precious offensive front.

So, he deliberately gave up this position. In this way, at least 50% of the other commanders of Dashanyan and the Japanese army may have the surnames, occupy the fast position quickly, and quickly deploy the artillery.

Luck finally stood on Lu Guangzuan's side. Dashanyan decisively believed that the Qing army had been defeated on the same large scale as Song Qing and Yi Ketang Abe, and immediately let the artillery regiment of the 6th Division cross the river, occupying the most favorable position, and preparing to carry out artillery attacks on Liu Ming's troops in Yuanbao Mountain.

The three infantry regiments of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, one artillery wing, and the two infantry regiments of the 2nd Division have crossed the river and began to search deeper fronts.

Until this time, during the period when the artillery regiment of the 6th Division was unstable, Lu Guangzuan also decisively commanded the three artillery troops to bombard Ma Jinxu's position.

The information of Dashanyan was wrong. He did not know that Liu Ming's headquarters had a second artillery battalion. Although the firepower was not as fierce as Liu Ming's first artillery battalion, it was faster.

Indiscriminate bombing, the artillery regiment of the Sixth Division was seriously damaged. Dashanyan could only let Lieutenant General Nozaki Sadasumi personally lead the assault, and it was necessary to capture the opponent's artillery position.

Two whole infantry regiments attacked the artillery position. Nearly 10,000 troops were squeezed into a small range of positions. The front Japanese reconnaissance team was quickly counterattacked. It was impossible to specify the number. An infantry brigade of the main force first launched a charge.

Although the Japanese army is not the most advanced in terms of overall equipment, the whole system is established in accordance with the German model. The far, medium and near artillery is fully equipped, and the counterattack is organized on the spot.

Similarly, the situation of Huguang Camp is roughly the same, but some changes have been made on the basis of the German model, especially increasing the deployment of machine guns.

Because there is only one infantry brigade, with no more than 500 people at best, Li Kaiye, who was the first to take the brunt, did not use a machine gun, but only repelled the opponent with a round of continuous fire.

With the increasing losses of the artillery wing, it was impossible to organize an effective counterattack at all. Dashanyan had to let the two infantry regiments of the 2nd Division surround it from the southwest flank and let the artillery wing of the 2nd Division reorganize its positions to counterattack.

From Dandong to the south, the whole area of North Korea is flat. As long as you stand outposts on Wulong Mountain and Jiulian Mountain, you can clearly see all the actions of the Japanese army, and the information is quickly fed back to Lu Guangqi.

In the absence of the right to use the Jiulian Fortress, Lu Guangquan immediately adjusted the firepower of the two artillerymen and launched a comprehensive attack on the new position of the Second Division.

With this trend, Dashanyan can no longer retreat. It can only let the two divisions rush away from the opponent's defense line and occupy the opponent's artillery positions, and it must be in the shortest time.

He carefully speculated that the opponent could not have more troops for infantry defense. As long as he took the position with the advantage of the number of people, the other party's artillery force would lose its defense line.

He has calculated that the opponent is stupid to organize a circular defense line with a small number of troops. It seems that the defense is very wide, but in fact, every region is a weak link. As long as he rushes open a mouth, the other party will die.

Strong rush.

This is the choice made by Dashanyan and his best answer.

In order to increase the pressure and constantly cause tension in the opponent's forces, Dashanyan even transferred two brigades of the North Korean Rebel Army to the front line, allowing them to follow the flank of the 6th Division to attack.

This decision made Dashanyan... cause a real massacre.

With more and more troops on both wings and fronts, and more and more dense, there are thousands of troops in each charge. Lu Guang Quan realizes that... the right reality has arrived, and the Mark Qin water-cooled machine gun can be used.

With his order, each row removed the canvas cover outside the machine gun and set it on the front line. Because the Maxim machine gun was too heavy, many of them were modified into a frame type. They had four wheels and a steel armor baffle, which could be pushed and used to charge.

The whole Huguang camp carried 250 Maxim machine guns to the north this time, of which 105 were modified into a frame type. In order to retain part of the remaining strength, it is currently equipped with 65 frame machine guns and 130 ordinary Maxim machine guns on the front line.

On average, there are three platoons per platoon, and the artillery itself also carries machine guns, but the number is small, which is only used to defend the artillery positions.

After each battalion put the machine gun on the position one after another, the Japanese army just began a new round of attacks, putting in four infantry regiments and a North Korean volunteer brigade to attack the curved defensive front with a total length of more than 1,400 meters from six aspects.

This seems to be the limit of the general of Dashanyan. He can no longer tolerate the situation that nearly 30,000 infantry continue to be blocked by such a weak front, and two artillery regiments are suppressed by another artillery wing.

A large number of Japanese troops rushed forward, and each platoon began to counterattack with the starry rifles, tempting their opponents to continue forward.

Li Kaiye pounced on the position and took a telescope to watch the spread of the opponent's troops. Although one of the opponent's infantry regiments was dispersing into three brigades, constantly detouring and approaching his front, crackling cover the random shooting, and the position of thousands of bullets in each round was messy, and he was still thinking carefully.

The terrain around Dandong, and even the whole terrain of North Korea and the northeast, were firmly remembered by him. He knew very well that on the bank of the Yalu River, 30 kilometers away from him, there was a mountainous area, and the military deployment of the Japanese army was not strong.

If he can resist the attack here during the day, he can completely lead an infantry to smuggle through at night, use the cover of the mountains, go deep into the opponent's hinterland, cut open the opponent's retreat line, and form a blockade on both sides of the Yalu River, making it impossible for the Japanese army to withdraw.

The situation is so tense that he can't continue to think about it, and the troops with four or five thousand opponents have circled back to the forefront of his position one after another.

"Fy!"

With an order, he shot first from himself and used the shooting speed of the Jiangnan rifle to cross-attack.

The soldiers led by himself, he knew very well that there was no one who was afraid of death, and there was no fool in the commander. Each company arranged cross-shooting internally, installed bullets in rotation, and forced the opponent to retreat.

The Japanese army could not retreat at all. It could only rely on the advantage of the number of people to carry out an overwhelming assault. Thousands of troops took advantage of the last hundreds of meters of distance to completely give up cover and exchange their lives for positions.

It was not until this time that the Maxim machine gun suddenly burst into fierce firepower. According to Li Kaiye's order, each company was only allowed to fire one machine gun first to suppress the opponent's attack and continue to consume the number of opponents.

There were only nine machine guns fired on his front, but it was enough to have a great suppression effect on the Japanese army.

The sudden outbreak of firepower made the whole front line of the Japanese army stop. There were continuous Japanese soldiers who wanted to escape back, but they were hit more fatally.

On the front of only 1,400 meters, the Japanese army seemed to have encountered nine life harvesters. Thousands of troops were injured in a few minutes and had to withdraw again.

With only nine machine guns, Li Kaiye forced his opponent back to the same place and began to organize the attack again.

Since then, the Japanese army has started a tug-of-war attack. They pushed both brigades of the North Korean rebels to the front line. The Japanese army pressed the battle behind. Whoever dares to retreat will be killed, forcing more than 14,000 North Korean soldiers to charge forward.

The sea-like North Korean soldiers rushed up, but they encountered more machine gun shots. In the dense intersection of fire, the North Korean soldiers quickly fell more than a thousand people and began to flee crazily.

The Japanese army pressed them forward, and more Korean soldiers died at the muzzle of the Japanese army.

As a last resort, Lieutenant General Nozaki Sadasumi, the commander of the 6th Division, could only let the troops continue to retreat to their place and wait for new orders.

He could still retreat rationally. On the southwest line, Sun Yuanheng was killed by the First Tokyo Division. Major General Nogi Xidian, the commander of the First Brigade, was a Japanese butcher, forcing all the soldiers to rush up with bayonets.

Dashanyan did not give up and continued to attack the whole position, hoping to exhaust the opponent's living troops, and also mobilize all the artillery to attack the front, but his artillery front has not been able to organize, and the two artillery fleets have been almost maimed, and they have retreated to the south bank of the Yalu River one after another.

After losing the cover of artillery, it is not very rational to charge this front.

After four consecutive attacks, more than 13,000 people were lost, almost a North Korean volunteer brigade was thrown on the front, and more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers were involved, Dashanyan could only suspend the plan, shrink the whole line back to the south bank of the Yalu River, and give up the existing position.
