In fact, the only attack surface left by Yang Feng for the Japanese army was the west. No matter if they attacked from the direction of Arakawa or Tama River, they would only be beaten by naval guns. The power of large-caliber naval guns is obvious to all. Dozens of 200 mm caliber guns
After a salvo of the above-mentioned naval guns, it is estimated that the entire Japanese brigade will be gone, and no matter how brave the soldiers are, they will not provoke them.
Therefore, the only choice for Dashanyan was to the west, which was at least far away from the coast. After some preparations for artillery fire, the 70,000 Japanese troops launched a charge towards the enemy's 20-kilometer-long defense line in front of Asan.
The tempered Japanese troops will no longer form dense formations this time. Including the Sixth Division, which was hastily trained before the attack, they all hunched over and held rifles with bayonets in their hands, forming skirmish formations.
Coming like a black tide.
Artillery shells kept exploding among them, huge fireballs rose densely, and countless broken limbs were flying in the sky. The heroic Japanese soldiers on the long front, in blood and fire, led them to fight against the invasion.
The soldiers shouted their hatred so loudly that the sound even drowned out the explosion of the artillery shells.
"The sad soldiers will win!" Prime Minister Ito, who was watching the battle from behind, said with satisfaction. These elites who came off the battlefield were different. They looked really powerful.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, you must have high morale when attacking such a defense line, you must charge resolutely, and you must have the spirit of never giving up. Regardless of shells or bullets, even if blood and flesh are flying around you, you must not hesitate. Only in this way can you..." Dashanyan was being reserved there.
He was bragging! Suddenly, a strange whistling sound interrupted his words, followed by a series of earth-shaking loud noises exploding among the attacking Japanese troops, and large spots immediately appeared in the black tide.
The soldiers of the Second Army who had never encountered a 130 naval gun on the Asan front were suddenly stunned by the blast, and the charging crowd quickly wavered.
"Attack! Retake your homeland to the death!" Dashanyan quickly ran forward a few steps, brandishing his saber and shouted in person. The three division commanders also rode forward on their horses to supervise the battle in person. Perhaps the devastated homes in the distance stimulated the Japanese army's enthusiasm.
Hatred, led by the First Division, the Japanese army shouted louder and continued to charge amidst dense explosions of thousands of shells falling every minute.
However, the artillerymen at the rear were not so lucky. In the mast building of the Marauder, the observers quickly reported the direction of the Japanese artillery. The muzzle of the 130 cannon with a range of 17 kilometers was raised, and the dense shells immediately roared away. I was more clear-headed.
Dashanyan ordered the artillery to retreat without hesitation, but even so, almost one-third of the artillery was destroyed by naval gun fire.
This news made Dashanyan sigh. It was obvious that his opponent was very good at building his own turtle shell. He could be said to have used the advantages of the weapon to the extreme. From the beginning, he forced himself into a battlefield that was most beneficial to them.
In the carnage of artillery fire, the Japanese army finally approached the coalition defense line, but at this time, both Oyama Iwa and Ito Hirobumi became nervous, because at this moment the machine gun on the opposite side rang out, and the battlefield suddenly turned into a hell, and they were charging
The Japanese army was like encountering a grinding wheel. It was being ground away layer by layer from front to back. The dead bodies began to pile up in an instant. The density of machine guns less than one hundred meters away was almost up to World War I standards. You can imagine what the Japanese army encountered at this time.
What kind of blow is it.
In just a short moment, the entire front line was covered with blood, especially in the area defended by the Huai Army. Those veterans who had used this weapon to kill the Japanese army for more than half a year obviously had more experience in killing. The dead bodies of the Japanese army were in front of them.
He kept falling down all the time, and the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood was chilling.
The Japanese army is still charging bravely but in vain against the bullets of machine guns. The elites who have learned to take the zigzag route are running forward with their backs bent as fast as possible. But unfortunately, the density of machine guns here even exceeds that of Asan. Personal bravery or
Intelligence pales in comparison to the ammunition projection of more than 100,000 rounds per minute.
In the eyes of the shooter holding the handle of the machine gun, any heroic move in the open shooting range is like a pitiful joke. The fire-breathing killing machine only needs to move slightly. All efforts will end, and life here is as humble as
dog.
The raging black tide was like hitting a dam on the shore, quickly turning into pieces. The blood of Japanese warriors dyed the land of their hometown red. Countless soldiers stared at their homes behind the enemy without closing their eyes. Some really smart Japanese soldiers
At this time, they had begun to lie behind the dead bodies of their companions, using the cover of the corpses to shoot forward. Unfortunately, they had single-shot rifles instead of machine guns. Sporadic shooting could not suppress the machine guns, not to mention there were tens of thousands of people opposite them.

The battle gradually changed from a charge by the Japanese army to a shooting confrontation between the two sides. This situation may not be suitable for the German machine gunners, but it is completely common for the machine gunners of the Huai Army. Every time the Japanese army's charge is blocked, the battle will
Transitioning to this state, the frantic strafing quickly turned into precise bursts of fire, with a dozen or even several rounds of short bursts of bullets being used to roll call the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground under the guidance of the infantry nearby.
On the Yang Jiajun's defense line, this situation is easier to deal with. The mortars in the hands of the infantry are set up in the trenches. While the machine guns and rifles are taking roll, the artillery shells are also flying towards the target one after another. The poor Japanese soldiers opposite them
The soldiers did not dare to raise their heads at all. They could only huddle in the pile of dead bodies of their companions and tremble, praying to escape the disaster.
The Germans who saw the huge power of machine guns in defensive operations for the first time were shocked. This was not a war, this was a pure tusha. Even a large number of German staff officers ran to the positions of Xu Bangdao and Jiang Zikang and took them.
Studying in the smoke with a notebook.
This tusha lasted for half an hour. Looking at the thickening pile of Japanese corpses in front of them, neither Ito Hirobumi nor Oyama Iwa could hold on. Such a battle had lost its meaning. They would not sacrifice the lives of soldiers except in vain.
Harvesting nothing, the Japanese troops struggling in hell began to retreat as the trumpet sounded. At this time, the gap between the Japanese troops who retreated from the battlefield and the domestic army immediately became apparent. When the soldiers of the Sixth Division heard the order to retreat,
They couldn't wait to get up and turn around and run, and then fell one by one to the bullets fired from behind. But the veterans of the Second Army were much smarter. They lay on the ground and crawled back, and from time to time they would shoot at the opposite side.
He fought back and retreated until he was five hundred meters away before jumping up and running as fast as he could.
The Japanese army's first attack ended like this. In just half an hour, they left nearly 7,000 corpses in front of the coalition forces. Of course, some of them were seriously injured and could not escape. After the firing of guns and artillery stopped, the entire battlefield
All that was left was their desperate wails. In order to show mercy, the Allied Forces Command specifically allowed the Japanese ambulance personnel to come forward and carry these wounded soldiers down. Otherwise, they would have a headache because of the noise. You can imagine that these companions who were as lively as themselves,
What kind of impact would it have on the morale of the Japanese army after being carried back bloody?
Unwilling to fail, the Japanese army launched a sneak attack at night. Xu Bangdao and Jiang Zikang, who knew their tactics well, had already warned Yang Feng that under the light of high-power searchlights, the Japanese army's sneak attack quickly turned into
The defeat. However, even when the war in Tokyo was going well, there were also unsatisfactory things. While the Eight-Nation Allied Forces and the Japanese army were fighting in Tokyo, the British were taking over one city after another in the name of mediation on Kyushu Island.
And the euphemistic name is protecting Japanese civilians from the flames of war.
This shameless behavior once again earned the extreme contempt of Waldzer and Yang Feng, but his Tomorrow Daily never made any comment on it. This made the British even more unscrupulous, and they were afraid of the impact of this behavior.
Their friendship with Yang Feng, but Tomorrow Daily's lack of comment meant that Boss Yang didn't mind it, but the German newspapers did their best to satirize it, and even triggered a large-scale scolding between British and German newspapers
.
For Boss Yang, as long as he carves up Japan, it doesn't matter how many people come to carve it up. It doesn't matter even if the British rob the entire Kyushu Island. Anyway, as long as he keeps the islands south of Tanegashima,
Not to mention them, even after Vladivostok thawed, he welcomed the Russians when they landed in Hokkaido. As for the Germans, didn't they still have Honshu Island? If Kagoshima couldn't get it, they would rent Shimonoseki and Kure Port. Of course, if they really wanted Kyushu Island
Then William can go and rob his grandmother!
The war situation in Japan did not affect the Liaodong battlefield. Even under this situation, Japan did not stop the supply of materials to Wonsan Port. Yamagata Aritomo directly cut off the communication between the headquarters and the country, and sent the Japanese troops in Pyongyang and Seoul to
The main force was transferred to Liaodong, and the troops were divided into two groups and attacked Fengtian without hesitation.
The Qing armies opposite him were still retreating steadily. Fengcheng and Xiuyan were lost one after another. Although the north road was blocked at Motianling, the south road went directly to Liaoyang. Cixi anxiously sent all the troops she could collect from the northeast to the front line.
, countless good sons and daughters of Manchuria spilled blood on the battlefield, but even this could not stop the Japanese army. In order to vent their hatred for the Chinese people who were native to Linlin, the Japanese army went on a killing spree in Liaodong, Fengcheng, Andong, Xiuyan
Large-scale tusha occurred all over the place, especially since the Japanese army always used the banner of anti-Manchuria, so this kind of tusha was more targeted.
Under this situation, even Li Erjiap had to be careful. Even if the Japanese army captured Liaoyang, the possibility of attacking Lushun southward was very slim, but this guy still transferred 10,000 of his newly recruited troops to Lushun.
On the one hand, he is optimistic about the home base of the Beiyang Navy, and on the other hand, he also wants to fool the court so as not to urge him to send troops to Liaodong every day. (To be continued...)
