Chapter 089 Bomber

Zhou Charter smiled and secretly admired that Nie Shicheng really lived up to his reputation.

Nie Shicheng was forced to be helpless. The Japanese army mixed into a brigade of 8,000, followed by a total of 20,000 soldiers of the First Army, and 1,500 people in the Zhangzi camp of the Wuyi Army, which was not enough for people to close their teeth.

The best result is to fight a battle and stop when it's good. If dumplings are made by the Japanese, it's not worth it.

It's not so easy to stop when it's good. The morale of the Japanese army is well trained and high. Once it is bitten by them, it is extremely difficult to get out.

However, Zhou Charter made such a noise in Fangzhu Mountain, which made Nie Shicheng see an opportunity.

The Japanese army temporarily changed the direction of the main attack and attacked the main mountain with all their strength, and there was a gap under Yuefeng Mountain.

Nie Shicheng immediately ordered the whole army to attack Yuefeng Mountain, but there was no return.

Wu Yi's army seemed to attack the headquarters of Oshima Yichang, but in fact, it was a false shot, and the front turned and rushed to Niu Xili.

The Qing army gave up Yuefeng Mountain.

However, Yichang Oshima did not understand the intention of the Qing army and retreated ten kilometers in a panic. As a result, the Qing army quickly broke away from contact with the Japanese army.

Wu Yi's army suffered more than 300 casualties in Nanshanli and Yuefeng Mountain; more than 80 casualties in Zhangzi Camp, most of whom were footers of the new sentry, with a total of nearly 400 casualties. More than 100 Japanese soldiers were killed and injured, and eight Japanese mountain cannons were blown up. The Japanese casualties mainly occurred in Fangzhu Mountain.

It's the right time for Nie Shicheng to withdraw from Chenghuan at this time. On the whole, Chenghuan's defenders retreated completely, and there were still many results.

This battle is enough to earn face for the court.

Zhou Charter turned around and said to Yao Xi, "Go on, the artillery team fired artillery at the Japanese army in Nanshan and fired all the shells. The whole army retreated to Tian'an. The new army sentry was in front, and the first sentry was behind to cover it. Move quickly.

"Yes!" Yao Xi turned around and wanted to leave.

The gun rumbled, 8 wild guns fired at the same time, and the dense shells shrouded the Nanshan Mountains in thick smoke. A Japanese brigade that had just attacked Nanshan was blown away and completely unaware of the movement of Nie Shicheng, the main force of Yuefeng Mountain.

Under the bombardment of the cannon, the Japanese army was completely unaware of the movement of the Qing army. Wu Yi's army quickly rushed to Niu Xieli and walked on the road to Tian'an.

The new military sentry and the first sentry post of Fangzhu Mountain also retreated to Niu Xili under the cover of artillery fire.

Nie Shicheng was out of danger.

When the last shell was fired at Nanshan, there were only dozens of artillerymen led by Luo Mingfang and the soldiers of Zhangzi battalion led by Zhou Charter.

The Japanese army in Nanshan is still in chaos.

However, the chaos of the Japanese army will not last long. Zhou Charter has learned the interests of the Japanese army. Once the shelling stops, the Japanese army will soon find the movement of the Qing army and pursue it.

"Blow up the wild cannons and retreat to the cattle!" Zhou Charter said.

Luo Mingfang jumped eight feet high: "Zhou Charter, what the fuck are you talking about?"

"Blow up the wild cannon!" Zhou Charter shouted, "Hurry up, it's too late!"

Luo Mingfang jumped on the wild cannon and shouted, "Zhou Charter, you blew me up!"

The 7.5cm field gun made by German-made Krup is the most advanced army equipment of the Qing army and the high-tech in high-tech! The Qing Dynasty can imitate this kind of wild cannon, but due to the backward basic industry, the performance of the imitation wild cannon is much worse than that of imported. Wu Yijun is the elite of the Qing army, so the wild guns equipped are originally imported from Germany, and a wild cannon is tens of thousands of taels of silver! Even the Japanese don't have this kind of wild cannon. Zhou Charter said to blow up, how could Luo Mingfang not be heartbroken!

Zhou Charter shouted, "Luo Mingfang, are you fucking going to leave the wild cannons to the Japanese!"

"I can take them away, and I will carry them away!"

"Bullshit! The Japanese are about to rush up, and you can't run with a wild cannon!" Zhou Charter shouted, "Bring up Luo Mingfang for me and take it away!"

"Damn you, I'm also Mr. Qian..."

Before Luo Mingfang finished shouting, seven or eight artillerymen rushed up and tied Luo Mingfang up.

Luo Mingfang struggled: "On the contrary, I'm your belt..."

So far, soldiers are more sober than their brains, and no one is willing to drag the bulky wild cannons away, which is equivalent to suicide. Anyway, with Zhou Charter, the order of the Qian, the artillerymen will not recognize Luo Mingfang, the Qianzong.

The artillerymen ran to the cow rest with Luo Mingfang, and the rest began to set up explosives next to the wild cannons. On the hillside, Luo Mingfang's hoarse crying voice came: "Cannon, my cannon..."

Zhou Charter said in a low voice in the direction of Luo Mingfang, "I will return it to you!" With that, he waved his hand and said, "Light the fuse and go!"

This unlucky Luo Mingfang was tied up by Zhou Charter twice in a day.

The group ran to the bottom of the mountain. As soon as they ran to the mountainside, there was a roar on the top of the mountain. In the firelight, the fragments of the Crop wild cannon sprinkled on the mountains.

The explosion on the main mountain woke up the Japanese.

The Qing army blew up the artillery position, which showed that the Qing army did not want to attack, but to escape.

Oshima Yichang, who retreated to the plain field, was very annoyed and urgently ordered all departments to attack Niu Xieli.

The Japanese army in Nanshan quickly took action and rushed to Niu Xieli.

When Zhou Charter rushed to Niu Xieli, the sound of Murata-style rifle was sounded not far behind him, and a squadron of more than 100 Japanese soldiers chased after him.

Under the big tree at the entrance of Niu Xieli Village, Lai Chuanwu greeted him. His second sentry did not retreat, but all of them were on the position. The position was set up in Niuxili Village, and the soldiers of the second sentry relied on civilian houses to set up an attack position, just blocking the road to Tian'an.

Zhou Charter asked, "Has General Nie left?"

"It's been an hour."

"Where are the new sentries and artillery?"

"It's all over, and now there are 150 people left in my second sentry."

"Good job!"

"Mr. Xie." Lai Chuanwu said with a blank face that he didn't care about Zhou Charter's praise, but his tone was full of pride.

Zhou Charter scolded in his heart: "Damn, what kind of person is this guy!" His face was calm. He turned around and said to Yao Xi, "Take your own troops and go quickly."

"What about you, boss?"

"I'm covering!" Zhou Charter said that behind him, the gunfire of the Murata rifle was getting closer and closer.

"Master, I'm your adjutant. I can't go!" Yao Xi said.

"Damn it, I'll kill you again! Take these foots out to me, you boy is a great achievement. Zhou Charter shouted. Until now, Zhangzi Camp has been a hard battle between footmen, and Zhou Charter can't bear to let these footmen die again.

Yao Xi saluted Zhou Charter: "Yes! Take care, Master. Turn around and take his own soldiers to the north.

Zhou Charter turned to Lai Chuanwu and said, "Let your sentry take your place and follow my command."

"Don't you run?" Lai Chuanwu asked.

"There is no camp officer who runs first!"

With a "plop", a stray bullet rubbed Zhou Charter's scalp and hit the trunk of the tree.

Zhou Charter jumped under a low wall and shouted, "Don't shoot without my order!"

Lai Chuanwu was lying on his right side and nodded blankly.

On the road outside the entrance of the village, 50 or 60 Japanese soldiers in blue and black military uniforms rushed over. The bright bayonet shines dazzlingly in the sun.

The Japanese army charged and shot at the same time. Every soldier's kneeling shooting was extremely standardized, and the bullets rushed over the head of the Qing army, only a little difference.

300 meters.

Two hundred meters.

100 meters. Someone in the Qing army was shot, and Lai Chuanwu's finger pointed to the trigger.

Zhou Charter stared at Lai Chuanwu fiercely. Lai Chuanwu sneered and withdrew his fingers.

50 meters, Zhou Charter pulled the trigger of the 1888 committee rifle. A Japanese soldier fell to the ground.

The second sentry opened fire, and a row of guns were fired. More than a dozen Japanese troops rushed ahead and fell to the ground. The remaining Japanese troops crawled on the ground and were suppressed by the firepower of the Qing army and could not raise their heads.

A Japanese second lieutenant just showed his head and was shot in the head by Zhou Charter, and the remaining Japanese army retreated.

There were cheers in the Qing army. These former soldiers who were training in the army had not yet learned the interests of the Japanese army, and they were complacent with a small victory.

Lai Chuanwu asked, "Master, you can retreat."

Zhou Charter nodded secretly. This Lai Chuanwu was indeed a little famous and repelled the Japanese army. The soldiers of the second sentry were cheering, but Lai Chuanwu's brain was clear. The second sentry was a blocking war, and he would run if he had a chance.

"No!" Zhou Charter said in a low voice, "It only takes an hour and a half for the main force to withdraw, and it will take at least half an hour to stop it!"

"Half an hour!" Lai Chuanwu sneered: "Master, what do you think these soldiers are training? They are just a bunch of wine bags! Once the Japanese army comes true, they will run faster than rabbits!"

Lai Chuanwu actually ridiculed the training army. Zhou Charter was surprised: "Aren't you from the training army?"

Lai Chuanwu snorted, "Even so!"

With a loud noise, a shell landed on the big tree at the entrance of the village. The tree was blown to pieces. Then, countless shells fell from the sky, and the flames rushed to the sky. The remnants of the Qing army, together with the blown rubble, were like rain.

Some Qing soldiers caught fire and rolled on the ground and howled.

Outside the village, the Japanese troops of three squadrons rushed to Niu Xieli under the cover of artillery fire.

The explosion of shells and the shooting sound of rifles, accompanied by the beast-like howls of Japanese soldiers, resounded over the cattle.

The Japanese army was still 200 meters away from the entrance of the village. More than 30 Qing troops guarding in a courtyard on the left side of the village entrance road threw down their weapons and ran away. Soon, he was knocked to the ground by Japanese bullets.

The defense line of Niucheli has been shaken.

As Lai Chuanwu said, these soldiers from the army were complacent when they won a small victory, but when the Japanese were serious, they were frightened by the tragedy of the battlefield and the ferocity of the Japanese army.

In contrast, the performance of the foot man forming a new army sentry in Fangzhu Mountain is impressive. They dare to fight bayonet with the Japanese!

These foots do not lack courage, all they lack is training. And the army lacks training and courage, either lacking or not at all!

If time goes by, Zhou Charter is sure to train those foot soldiers into a modern army that can compete with the Japanese army!

However, God doesn't seem to want to give him time.

In just ten minutes, the defense line of Niu Xieli collapsed!
