After rushing out of the artillery blockade area, they prepared to attack the entire team under the organization of low-level officers!

But at this moment, a wave of slightly long sounds came from the air. The speed of these shells was very slow. As long as people looked up, they could see the falling forces of the two brigades. Even if they used people to fill them, they would be enough to smooth out the Jiulian City." Shangwen immediately looked at the small city in the distance and said. Under the cover of a small number of artillery and hand-cranked Gatling machine guns, the two brigades launched a series of attacks. Each attack was in two brigades, about 1,500 people!

The six 75mm rapid-fire guns in the rear were constantly spitting out bullets, but Markens directly used artillery for direct aiming operations. Schmidt's artillery was deployed in the rear, and then by controlling the delay of the fuse, the shells exploded in the air. This earliest "air bomb" shell was naturally not as powerful as the later VT fuse bombs, but relying on its relatively curved trajectory and super high firing rate, it still caused great damage to the attacking Chinese and Japanese troops!

Due to the limitation of the terrain, the Japanese attack front was relatively narrow. Within about 600 meters close to the position, the attack surface was rapidly narrowed, and all artillery locked the strike area here! One round of shells exploded in the air several meters to dozens of meters away from the ground, and countless steel beads fell from the air like raindrops. These steel beads formed an elliptical killing area on the ground. In this area, whether you are standing or hiding, they will be pierced by hundreds of steel beads per second!

Standing at a high place, dense shells were raging in the attack area like a rolling flame storm. As soon as the Japanese army entered the starting position, they were swept down in pieces, and turned into a pile of minced meat under the violent blow.

The remaining Japanese artillery did want to cover their infantry and tried to suppress the artillery at the city wall, but the super slow rate of fire and the disadvantages in the terrain made their attacks come back in vain. The gunners of the Blue Legion only saw the position of the other party firing, and then compared the calibrated map, they could easily calculate the distance and the elevation angle of the artillery. After a few minutes of rapid fire, the opponent's artillery would either be destroyed or forced to evacuate!

From the assembly of the Japanese army to the launch of the attack, they would move forward in the rain of bullets every step. Once they were driven to the battlefield, they would be attacked regardless of whether they advance or retreat. In this case, the Japanese survival instinct made them temporarily forget their fear. When most people fell on shells, the rate of fire of these artillery guns seemed to be faster than that of rapid-fire guns! One round of shells quickly exploded next to the Japanese army that had just assembled. The debris of cast iron forged bullets turned into is no worse than that of steel balls. These cheap shrapnel easily blow up half of a squad of Japanese troops, while the rest lies on the ground tremblingly, leaving the commander to scold and punch without standing up!

However, even so, the Japanese attack was still steadily advancing step by step. The continuous reinforcements from the rear rushed towards the opponent's position with the front team. At a distance of 200 meters to 300 meters, the Japanese army encountered the most severe test!

If the flank Kaetaro's troops encountered sporadic machine gun fire blockade, then in the frontal attack, the Japanese troops of the two brigades were facing a composite fire strike of machine guns, mortars and grenade launchers! The fierce firepower of more than ten machine guns fired blood in the charge of the Japanese army. The grenades fired by 8 80mm mortars and dozens of grenade launchers sent a large number of shrapnel above the head of the Japanese army every minute!

The Japanese army that was squaring together was first taken care of. After a series of grenades fell, a platoon of Japanese troops quickly disappeared into the smoke screen and flames. Perhaps the number of shrapnel was relatively small, but the impact caused by the super-large charge of mortar grenades was even more terrifying than the steel balls of shrapnel!

The flames with the breath of death and high-pressure air slapped at the unprepared Japanese army like an invisible wall. The simple shock wave can seriously damage the internal organs through clothes and skin. The high-temperature air in the smoke and the toxic gas burned by the picy acid burned completely destroyed the lungs of the remaining soldiers! Many Japanese soldiers were not directly hit by shrapnel, and they still lost their combat power under the impact of the air waves. They ripped their throats frantically, trying to inhale more air, and the scorching air caused their lungs to be injured more! Finally, they fell on foreign land.

When the Japanese army rushed to the last 150 meters distance, firepower from all directions rushed like a tide, completely blocking the Japanese army, who was about to succeed, completely blocked the trenches! The dense rain of bullets fired from various side strikes and reverse strike positions easily harvested life, and the continuous shooting of semi-automatic rifles was also deployed at the same time. Although it was not as easy to use as submachine guns, these semi-automatic rifles were still powerful tools for melee combat!

Often, three semi-automatic rifles can block the two squads of Japanese pig thunder! The three soldiers took turns shooting, quickly shooting out the bullets in the magazine, and a series of gunshots like explosive beans turned the last hope of the Japanese army into bubbles! Even if some people who are agile or lucky enough can use bayonets to deal with them and want to give them to their opponents, they will soon be shot into sieve by bullets flying out of the surroundings.

"The number of Germans is very rare, and the arrangement of multi-layer defense lines further reduces the density of troops! But their firepower makes up for the disadvantage of the number of people! The firepower of one squad can easily suppress one of our platoons! The bravery and bayonets of the Imperial soldiers are useless under a rifle that can be shot continuously! It is of no use except being knocked down by dense bullets and making the bodies outside the trench pile higher and higher! The German army invested no more than a thousand troops, but it blocked four large-scale attacks from our two brigades!"

He immediately saw Shangwen smelling the strong smell of blood mixed in the smoke of gunpowder, looking at the corpses on the ground in the distance and the weapons that still spit out flames. He completely surrendered! This battle cannot be fought! If the Japanese army of the two brigades can capture this place, so what if the division with the skeletons was directly broken, how can we continue to fight? You know, crossing the Yalu River is just the first step! There are many battles behind it!

When it was 4 pm, the Japanese attack finally stopped, and the Blue Legion, as the defensive party, was exhausted in the battle on this day. Baron Schmidt admitted that if it were not for guarding a supply station and almost opened a wireless ammunition, the Japanese army could push at least two layers of defense outside and then launch an attack on the city! During this day, the Blue Legion suffered more than 300 casualties, of which more than 100 were killed in battle. The casualties paid by the Japanese army on the opposite side were at least 7 times that of this number!

"At least one brigade of the Japanese army was beaten up! And tomorrow, we will receive Russian support from a regiment! As long as we can defend for one night, the Japanese army will have no chance!" That night, Markenson returned to the command center and discussed the next combat plan with Baron Schmidt.

"At most 2 days! We must evacuate!" Schmidt's opinion shocked Markens and others. Although their own losses were not small, most of them were the Qing army and Russian army. Today's battle has collapsed a tooth for the Japanese. Why should we leave?
