Chapter 031 Truce

It is gratifying that there is an ammunition depot left by the Japanese army on the Golden Mountain Fort, and the soldiers of Zhangjun are not short of guns and ammunition. The Type 88 rifle was damaged and the bullets were shot out. They can use the Japanese Murata rifle. The only pity for the brothers is that the Maxim's heavy machine gun is dumb, and the bullets of the heavy machine gun are not universal, and the piles of Murata-style bullets can't be used.

Under the shelling of the Japanese army, the chest wall of the Golden Mountain Fort collapsed, and the fortress and trenches have become ruins.

However, the soldiers crawled between the ruins and tenaciously opened fire on the enemy, and no one retreated.

This blood-stained battery still stands firmly in the overwhelming gunfire and does not waver!

At the same time, there is only Erlongshan Fort left in the land defense fort.

There were originally four land defense forts behind the side of Lushun Port. Zhang Jun once captured the Erlongshan Fort and Dapo Mountain Fort. However, under the fierce attack of the Japanese Xikuan Erlang Brigade, Zhang Jun had to give up the Dapo Mountain Fort and concentrate his troops to defend the Erlongshan Fort.

On the Erlongshan Fort, there were only two companies of 500 troops. After 6 days of hard fighting, the number of troops was sharply reduced, leaving more than 200 people.

After the Japanese occupied the Dapo Mountain Fort, they set up artillery positions on Dapo Mountain and launched a fierce shell attack on Erlong Mountain.

The circular defense position in the northwest under the Erlongshan Fort has been lost. This position was originally the outer position of the Erlongshan Fort, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the main position by guarding the corner of the main position on the fort.

After the loss of the circular position, the Japanese army besieged Erlong Mountain from three directions with their superior forces. The battle was extremely fierce. Many times, the Japanese attacked the chest wall and fought with the defenders. As a result, they were driven off the chest wall by the defenders.

Under the chest wall of Erlongshan Fort, the bodies of the Japanese army were almost piled up to the height of the chest wall.

Lushun, the Golden Mountain Fort and Erlong Mountain Fort are firmly in the hands of Zhang Jun.

However, Zhou Charter can't imagine how long the brothers can last.

The Japanese are determined to recapture Lushun, and their reinforcements continue to rush to Lushun from sea and land. However, Zhang Jun lost contact with Pyongyang, and there was no message from the reinforcements.

The Golden Mountain Fort resists attacks from the sea, and Erlong Mountain resists attacks from land. Zhou Charter knew that at least in the direction of Jinzhou, there was a Japanese brigade that had not entered the battle.

That is the most elite Nogi Xidian brigade of the Japanese army!

The Xikuan Erlang Brigade, which is currently attacking Erlong Mountain, is actually an incomplete brigade. Nearly one-half of the troops of this brigade have followed the mountains and went to hell.

And the Nomu Xidian Brigade was a full-en-en-rigand. In previous battles, Nomu Xidian swept Liaodong, and the incompetent Qing army did not cause any loss to this brigade.

Once Nomu Xidian returns to Lushun and throws himself into the battle of Erlong Mountain, Guo Erba can't stand it anyway!

Under the southeast gate of the Golden Mountain Fort, Zhou Charter stood in the ruins with a sharp knife in his hand.

The original gray military uniform was stained with smoke and blood.

Just now, a 25-person death squad of the Japanese army rushed under the gate and ignited the explosives tied to their bodies. In the violent explosion, the gate collapsed, and a platoon of Zhang Army on the gate, together with the gate, was blown up by Japanese explosives.

The Japanese army rushed to the collapsed ruins like a tide and rushed to the chest wall. Zhou Charter personally led a company to rush over and launched a close battle with the Japanese army. In the melee, Zhou Charter cut five Japanese soldiers with a knife, holding the head of a Japanese lieutenant, and stood fiercely on the top of the ruins.

Zhou Charter's crazy move destroyed the Japanese army's will to fight. After paying more than 200 people, the Japanese army gave up this attack, and the defeated soldiers retreated to the Pearl Reef Fort.

The Japanese ship on the sea stopped shelling.

At the same time, the sound of gunfire in the direction of Erlongshan Fort also fell silent.

A suffocating silence suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

For six consecutive days, the sound of gunfire in Lushun has not been interrupted, and now, from the sea to the port, from Golden Mountain to Erlong Mountain, there is tranquility everywhere.

Only the burning flames all over the mountains make crackling sounds in the wind in winter.

The sky is approaching dusk. In the western sky, the sun is like blood, and the air is filled with the smell of blood and burning flesh.

"What do the Japanese want to do?" Yao Xi limped to Zhou Charter. In the battle, his thigh was hit by a bayonet, but he always gritted his teeth and followed Zhou Charter without making a scream.

Zhou Charter built a pergola and looked at Baiwang Mountain in the southeast.

Baiwang Mountain was originally shaded. After several days of competition, this lush mountain bag has been shaved into bald by gunfire.

Giving up Baiwang Mountain is the helpless choice of Zhou Charter. This hill bag is the flank position of the Golden Mountain Fort. The artillery position laid by Zhang Jun here can directly threaten the beach and provide strong fire support for the Golden Mountain Fort.

However, Zhang's strength was limited. Under the siege of the Japanese army, he could only shrink the defense line in order to concentrate his troops.

After the Japanese occupied Baiwang Mountain, they set up artillery positions on the mountain, with a total of 12 mountain cannons and continuously bombarded the Golden Mountain Fort.

Now, the Japanese cannons on the White King's Mountain have stopped roaring and are replaced by loudspeakers, which sound fluent Chinese:

"Zhang officers and soldiers, please stop shooting. The Japanese Empire will send plenipotentiaries to negotiate a truce with General Zhou Charter, the commander of Zhang Jun!"

"If you want to fight, fight to the end, and talk about nothing!" Yao Xi scolded with hatred.

On the hillside, a white flag was raised, and a Japanese officer held a white flag and walked along the corpse-sloping hill to the Golden Mountain Fort.

Yao Xi raised the Winchester rifle, made a standard standing position, and pointed the muzzle at the officer.

Zhou Charter hurriedly held down the rifle in Yao Xi's hand: "The two countries will not engage in war."

"What the hell, I've died so many brothers!" Yao Xi's eyes were blood-red, and the ruins of the city gate were full of the bodies of Brother Zhang Jun.

Zhou Charter sighed, and he remembered An Chengdu. At that time, Yao Xi could not even do the basic shooting posture well. He held the most advanced Winchester rifle in the Qing Dynasty and trembled in the mud.

Half a year of war has completely changed a man, an army!

"Yao Xi, would you be sad if you didn't see Cuihua?" Zhou Charter asked.

"Damn, that mother-in-law is fierce all day long!" Yao Xi put down his gun and sighed, "But if I really don't want to see her, my heart is still empty. Brother, if you don't see your sister-in-law, are you sad?

"I don't know." Zhou Charter threw away the big knife in his hand and sighed, "If I die, I can see Jin Shu!"

His eyes were a little blurred. He let the Buddha see the vague dream again. Jin Shu sat under the bodhi tree and waved to him and smiled.

Yao Xi was stunned and shook his head and said, "Brother, if you die, Qiaoer will be sad!"

The bodhi tree disappeared, and in front of Zhou Charter was the burning trees all over the mountains. Zhou Charter sighed, "I'm sorry for Qiaoer!"

While talking, the Japanese officer holding the white flag had come closer.

The officer, wearing the rank of colonel, with a gloomy face and steady pace, came to Zhou Charter, stood upright and saluted, and said in fluent Chinese, "Lect Kamio Mitsumi, an intelligence officer of the General Staff Headquarters of the Empire of the Empire of Japan! Are you General Zhou Charter, the commander of Zhangjun?

Zhou Charter raised his hand and said, "Yes, Colonel Guangchen Shenwei, do you know me?"

Shenwei Guangchen nodded: "As early as Kaesong, you and I have been in contact with each other. At that time, I was ordered to hunt down Jin Yujun's orphan Jin Shu, and everything was ready. As a result, I still let you take advantage of the loophole and run away with Jin Shu. Later, in Yuanjin Mountain in Seoul, you took the courtyard from me. General Zhou, you and I are predestined people. We even had a deal with each other in Hufeiling. At that time, I led a team to contain you. As a result, not only did I fail, but the commander of the Oshima Yichang Brigade also died in your hands!"

Zhou Charter smiled faintly: "So, what advice do you have when you come here?"

Shenwei Guangchen said, "I dare not give advice, but I think you should know some information, such as Pyongyang."

Zhou Charter said coldly, "You can't occupy Pyongyang!"

"How can I see it?"

Zhou Charter sneered: "Shenwei Guangchen, most of your first army has been transferred to Lushun. The first army left in Seoul is an empty shelf. How can it shake the defense line of our Zhang army in the Linjin River!"

Shenwei Guangchen said, "General Zhou, why do you say that the Japanese army in Lushun is from North Korea, not Shandong?"

Zhou Charter laughed: "God-tailed Guangchen, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from my Zhou Charter! For Shandong, you are determined to get it. The Shandong Qing army is full of troops, and the Beiyang Marine Division, it is impossible for you to draw troops from Shandong! The only source of your troops can only be Seoul!"

Shenwei Guangchen was frustrated. This Zhou Charter was more important than he thought. He was surrounded by Lushun and completely lost contact with the outside world. However, he actually judged the movements of the Japanese army so accurately.

If the Empire of Japan is defeated, she will not be defeated by the Qing Dynasty, but by Zhou Charter!

Shenwei Guangchen nodded: "General Zhou's words are not bad. The First Army stationed in Seoul did not cross the Linjin River, but your Zhang army still lost Pyongyang. It was the North Korean Restoration Army that captured Pyongyang. The head of this military organization is Li Xuanqing. His public identity is the host of Lingshan Temple in Sanfengli, and his legal name is Kongming!"

Zhou Charter was shocked. He remembered that in Xuanwu Temple in Pyongyang, Cui Dao once mentioned a group of mysterious monks, led by Kongming Mage. Among this group of monks, there is also a woman who looks very similar to Jin Shu! They are a dark force. Zhou Charter felt their existence when he was in North Korea. However, they are like air and difficult to catch.
