Just as the Beiyang Navy was immersed in the joy of defeating the Japanese combined fleet, Nie Shicheng's troops in North Korea were under unprecedented pressure! Since the beginning of the Pyongyang Battle, the fierce attack of the Wonsan Group led by Yamaji Genji has never stopped.

, even after the news of the defeat of Japan's United Fleet came, Yamachi Genji's First Division still spared no effort to attack all key points, including Mudan Terrace.

As Nozu Michonuki gradually advances toward Pyongyang, the activity space of the Beiyang Army Division is compressed bit by bit, and the troop density of the Japanese Army is gradually increasing. The Japanese Army, which has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, is already capable of launching all-round attacks.

Centripetal assault! This will undoubtedly make matters worse for the Qing army in Pyongyang who is stretched thin.

In addition to the pressure from the Japanese army, in order to cooperate with the grand strategy, since the Japanese fleet appeared off the Datong River, the supply to the Pyongyang garrison was temporarily cut off. It took more than a week from the time the Japanese army entered the sea off the Datong River to being defeated by the Beiyang Fleet.

,flat

The Beiyang Army in Russia could only rely on hoarded supplies to fight the war. This was undoubtedly a great restriction for the Qing army, which relied heavily on firepower. Since then, the daily ammunition consumption of all heavy artillery has been limited, and machine gunners and mortar operators have also been restricted.

Told to save ammo.

Although the Mudantai Highlands are still in the hands of the Qing army, the position in the bridge has been lost. The Beiyang Army must disperse its forces to guard all possible crossing points along the vast Datong River. In addition, Nozu Dogan is gradually approaching from the southern line.

troops, the length of Beiyang's defense line was stretched

Long. In this case, loopholes are inevitable. The Japanese army constantly sends teams to find loopholes to penetrate, and Beiyang must use the same method to deal with the Japanese army. The proportion of night battles and close combat continues to increase. Both sides are exchanging human lives.

, until one party can no longer hold on.

Along with the explosion of landmines, Shao Yu knew that another guest was coming tonight. Before he could get a good sleep after changing defenses from Mudantai, he was pulled to the east of Pyongyang along the Datong River to be responsible for counter-insertion. If during the day

There is no doubt that I want to cross the Taedong River under the nose of machine guns and artillery.

They are looking for death, so nighttime sneak attacks have become the most common method used by the Japanese. After nearly a week of fighting, the special commandos represented by Shao Yu have become a group of night owls. They are groggy during the day and full of energy at night! This is not

Business is coming again tonight.

As a battalion-level cadre, the people Shao Yu leads are really not worthy of his official position. There are only 50 people. But the equipment of these 50 people is top-notch. It is certain that they have a box cannon, a machine gun and

There are also a lot of grenade launchers, with 50 people among them.

However, there are 5-ting machine guns, 3 grenades and 2 mortars, so almost everyone needs to work part-time as an ammunition hand. Either you carry machine gun bullets or you carry grenades. If you want to bring only your own weapons, there are only 4

The sniper and Shao Yu's two guards can do it.

The troops deployed quickly under the command of Shao Yu. The two teams, one on the left and one on the right, advanced to the target area first, while the fire support team stayed slightly behind to provide support to the advancing troops at any time. For these infiltrated Japanese army teams, Shao Yu

Naturally, they have a way. These troops always

Generally, after landing ashore, they will develop in depth and leave marching marks along the way. When they think they have found a loophole in a pair of opponent's warships, they will send out flares to inform the Japanese on the opposite side. Then Japan will send another troop.

Try this to open a gap and solidify the front.

Faced with this situation, Shao Yu and the others rarely rush directly to the shore. Instead, they determine the opponent's direction of travel and then set up an ambush on the road in advance. As for how to judge the opponent's direction of travel? There are many ways. Various mines along the way

The field is crowded and the opponent passes

When you come here, you will inevitably have to win the lottery, or eliminate the observation posts and signal flares at the support points to determine the opponent's position. In short, with the combination of minefields, snipers with black guns, and machine guns in bunkers, Japan's small-scale infiltration operations are basically

It has no effect.

Originally, Shao Yu planned to follow the "operating procedures" and be done with it. But when they approached the target area, they vaguely felt something was wrong. "Someone was digging the soil." Feeling the vibration under his feet, Shao Yu immediately lay down on the ground.

Then a slight vibration and rustling sound reached his ears.

"The Japanese pirates have learned a lesson." When he heard this voice, Shao Yu's heart sank suddenly. This was obviously the vanguard of the Japanese army who wanted to establish a forward position in the area. At night, it was easy for the Japanese army to sneak across in small groups. If

After successfully crossing the river, at night

If you dig bunkers and trenches under cover, artillery bombardment will not be very effective. The best thing is to know where the opponent is? The best way is to prevent the opponent from developing in depth first, and then wait until daybreak to use artillery and machine guns to clean up the enemy.

School of fish.

But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel! The Japanese army did not follow Shao Yu's routine at all. The Japanese army is not stupid, and will not give you a few squads of soldiers every day for you to sacrifice guns.

Cannon fodder also has a mission, is it a mission? Use your own life to mow down the opponent's defense layout and minefields, and figure out the situation along the river through multiple mops.

It is unrealistic to say that Shao Yu and the others can annihilate all infiltration personnel every time, because each infiltration force will leave a few people on the river bank to inspect the terrain and soil before returning to the east bank and report the situation, so after

After several days of reconnaissance, the Japanese army has a rough impression of the situation on the west bank of the Datong River, and tonight, it will be time to launch a general attack!

Listening to the sound of paddling coming from the Datong River, Shao Yu finally felt something was wrong. "This is not a small team, this is a large force. Japan is going to make a big move!" Shao Yu said in his heart.

Faced with the severe situation, Shao Yu sent people back to report quickly while leading his team to launch an attack on the Japanese army.

If you want to attack the troops who are building bunkers from the front, it is obviously a thankless task. Some of the bunkers have already been dug out, and the best attack time has been missed, so stage backup becomes the best choice. With the help of

With the faint moonlight and their understanding of the terrain, Shao Yu and others successfully reached the rear of the Japanese army's beachhead position. At this time, a group of Japanese troops were preparing to dock.

Several 60mm mortar shells streaked across the night sky with ear-piercing screams and exploded near the Japanese landing point. The picric acid charge in the shells quickly ignited the trees and shrubs next to the Datong River. The trees and shrubs next to the Datong River were bright yellow.

fire in the dark night

It looked very eye-catching in the scene. After the Japanese army was suddenly attacked, there was some confusion. With a light source, the well-trained machine gunners could use this short time to kill the less than 100 Japanese follow-up troops.

On the shore!

Bullets were fired like locusts at the Japanese troops who had no cover at all. A few clever ones immediately jumped into the water or hid behind wooden boats to avoid the bullets, but the subsequent grenade launchers allowed these to be swept away by the first machine gun.

The Japanese soldiers who escaped death could not escape the clutches of death. In less than a minute, except for a dozen Japanese soldiers who had entered the bunker, other Japanese soldiers were lying dead by the river. The intruding firefight was also disrupted.

Understand the Japanese army's plan.

Looking at the fire ball that suddenly rose on the shore, Nogi Nogi gritted his teeth with hatred. He had prepared for so many days and spent 200 people to clear out the situation on the other side. In the end, he was still discovered by the Qing army. Since the sneak attack failed,

Then the function will be attacked in advance!

It was the Japanese artillery group hidden on the east bank that launched bombardments on the exposed Qing army positions and minefields according to plan. With a huge roar, balls of orange flames rose from the east bank, and one shell after another

The harsh sound across the sky broke the tranquility of the night.

Immediately, on the entire Datong River front, the Japanese army fully opened its concealed artillery group and launched a suppressive attack on the Qing army on the other side. A new war began. After a long battle, the Japanese army also learned to be smart.

, taking this shelling as an example, the efficiency of the full-line bombardment is really not high. Simply targeting

The efficiency of concentrated firepower in key areas is not high. Why? The reason is very simple. The Qing army usually waits in the second-line position, waiting for you to finish the bombing, and others will go up again. Is your bombardment in vain? And because of Datong

Jiang's obstruction, the coordination of troops and artillery attacks were very consistent, so the efficiency was extremely low.

But this time the Japanese army's tactics have changed. I still suppress the place selected as the breakthrough. But in addition, I also suppress the traffic lines moving from the second-line position to the breakthrough. Use continuous artillery fire to move the breakthrough from the position.

Separate it from above, and at the same time establish a beachhead through night infiltration. In this way, both the troop advance speed and the impact of heavy firepower will be qualitatively improved. Moreover, at night, if you want to counter-suppress my artillery, you can also

It’s hard to get it right!

Faced with a sudden attack, the Beiyang Army on the defense line along the river was also in chaos. Except for the area where Shao Yu was located, which was relatively successful in delaying the attack of the Japanese army's crossing troops, the early offensive of the Japanese army in many other areas was surprisingly smooth. Not only

A beachhead has been established on the opposite bank, and a considerable number of troops have successfully crossed the river.

But fortunately, Nie Shicheng's response was quite quick. I really can't hit your artillery accurately, but it is still possible to hit the Japanese beachhead just in front of you. As for indicating the target for the artillery, this is indeed a bit difficult. Using mortars and other small

Bitter taste

One way is to hit the nearby woods with acid shells to provide a light source for the observation post, but what to do in places where there are no combustibles? Then you can only sacrifice your life. Get close to the reconnaissance, and then release the signal flare. This is almost a fatal task.

.

However, some people still took the initiative. After getting the necessary equipment, they jumped out of the trench without hesitation and walked toward the shore along the transportation trench dug in advance. Quite a few people were taken away by shrapnel before they even got close to the Japanese beachhead.

, while the remaining people rushed past the fallen comrades, hunkering down, trying to hide themselves in the rain of bullets, hiding in each crater.

Walking between the bunkers, and after discovering the Japanese army's position, they sounded the flare resolutely, and with a red flare rising into the sky, the warriors would be covered by a hail of bullets in the next moment. But they had no fear or hesitation.

, along with the red flare, while their lives are heading towards the end, the tall figures on their backs are heading towards immortality!
