The Rise of the Empire

"Let's start!" When the gunfire sounded again in the direction of Jiulian City, the third division of Katsura Katsura on the left finally launched an attack. It will be equipped with a relatively complete establishment, including infantry, artillery, engineers and cavalry! Therefore, Gui Taro's attack methods are also more diverse.

The opponent's artillery is very sharp. In the last attack, it easily wiped out Yoshima Oshima's artillery team. Katsura naturally learned his lesson. The artillery is only a support rather than a decisive force. The real battle is with the infantry and flanks Devious cavalry!

"The Japanese are coming!" Accompanied by the sound of rumbling guns, Japanese soldiers charged like a tide. The bayonets on their rifles shone coldly in the sunlight. The army charged, and Mackensen was taking his own teaching troops to insert inside the Qing army's defense line. The machine guns and artillery in their hands would serve as the firepower pillars of the entire flank.

"Let's fire!" At a distance of 400 meters, the MG91 heavy machine gun from Germany finally roared for the first time since its birth on the battlefield. Spewing bullets towards the front! The fiery red bullets formed a long red whip and swept across the battlefield! The firepower network formed by several machine guns instantly blocked most of the Japanese army's attack roads!

The sudden barrage caught the Japanese soldiers who encountered this weapon for the first time by surprise, and groups of soldiers were swept away like wheat. The entire offensive also came to a standstill, and many Japanese soldiers began to look for bunkers or lay down on the ground to avoid the deadly rain of bullets. And once the impact loses speed and strength, it is equal to losing!

Gui Taro saw that the situation was not good, and the artillery that had been prepared was pushed down to the front. However, after several test shots, the Japanese found that the opponent's machine gun bunker was very low, and it was difficult for the artillery to hit under the cover of the terrain!

Then the Japanese artillery focused on attacking the Qing army at the junction. Under the intensive artillery shells and bayonet charges, Liu Shengxiu's troops were the first to be unable to hold on!

"It's too dangerous for these guys to be comrades in arms!" After avoiding the machine guns, the Japanese army's attack went smoothly. if. Mackensen can guarantee that as long as the opponent makes an impact, the entire defense line will be over. Fortunately, Nie Shicheng's department is still reliable, and the tactical level is not expected to be high, but at least it can be nailed to the ground! If more than 4,000 people do not retreat in a deadly battle, they can delay for a while!

"Firepower! The only thing that can stop the opponent is firepower!" Mackensen gathered some soldiers and pushed the 75MM rapid-fire guns to move towards the position! Six 75MM rapid-fire guns were pushed to the breakthrough, and they were crazily pouring shrapnel at a distance of less than 800 meters from the opponent! Every roar of the artillery represents hundreds of projectiles flying towards the charging opponent, like a shotgun, the artillery rapidly harvests the life of the attacker!

Liu Shengxiu's army can only be powerful, Nie Shicheng's army can hold back the opponent, but the real decisive force is the Russians and Germans! The endurance and obedience of Russian officers and soldiers at the grassroots level are fully demonstrated at this moment! Even if the bullets whizzed by, even if the Japanese bayonets were only a few meters away from them! They will still advance against their opponents without hesitation! The entire counterattack force, centered on rapid-fire guns and assisted by a large number of infantry on both wings, smashed at the Japanese troops pouring in like an engineering hammer!

"The German army really deserves to be the number one army in the world! It's amazing to be able to defeat France in one battle!" Katsura Katsura, who was standing on a high place, looked at the German counterattack force in the distance and couldn't help but lamented.

The core of the offensive force was the four rapid-fire guns. When the Japanese army gathered together and prepared to disperse the opponents in one go, the tons of ammunition fired by the four artillery pieces could blow up the assembled Japanese army in a very short period of time! Each shot of the artillery creates a cone-shaped dead zone,

In this area, whether you are standing, squatting or lying on your stomach, you will be smashed into pieces by dense shrapnel!

The Japanese army that was forced to disperse had no chance of winning against the Russian army that was grouped together! The wedge that was so easily driven in with blood and life was squeezed out bit by bit! The frontal battle is about to fall into a stalemate! And at this moment, the Japanese cavalry and the Cossack cavalry on the side broke out the first battle between the Japanese and Russian cavalry!

The ancient cavalry played cavalry and archery, while the modern cavalry played group charge. Hundreds of cavalry were close together, moving slowly when they were far away from each other, and then began to accelerate when they were less than 1 kilometer. M, increase the speed to the maximum! Harvest the opponent's life with swift speed and sharp saber!

The cavalry on both sides swept across the battlefield like a storm! With the shaking of the ground, the panting of the horses, and the shouts of the soldiers, the distance between the two sides is getting closer! At the last distance of 300 meters, the Japanese army, who had already picked up their sabers and prepared for the final assault, suddenly found that their opponents took out rifles they had never seen before! As a result, the last distance of more than 200 meters became the bloody path of the Japanese cavalry!

Although the accuracy of using a rifle on horseback is extremely poor, but in the face of the opponent's dense formation and hundreds of automatic rifles on your own side, no matter how poor the accuracy is, you can make up for it with the rate of fire! The elite Cossack cavalry using the KA92 semi-automatic cavalry gun easily emptied the clips of 20 bullets in one go at a distance of more than 200 meters! A steel storm is coming towards the Japanese cavalry! In ten seconds or so, groups of cavalry and horses were knocked down by the flying bullets, and then trampled into a puddle of flesh by the comrades behind!

Although the sabers of the two sides have not met yet, the result has already been decided. There are not many cavalry in the battle. Before the contact, the cavalry of the Japanese army was wiped out by the opponent with almost cheating weapons! The rest is almost two Russian cavalry fighting each other one! The outcome of the battle on this battlefield has been determined! Not only did the Japanese cavalry fail to complete the task of threatening the opponent's flank, but they were repelled by the opponent's cavalry!

Although Gui Taro's concentrated elite force's onslaught was repelled, but judging from the loss of personnel on both sides, Japan still has the upper hand! The reason for this is largely due to the Qing army. It is understandable if we talk about simple casualties, but what happened to the large number of missing people after the war? And many of the missing are from troops that didn't engage in combat.... This alone made Mackensen feel that this battle could no longer be fought!

If Guitaro's attack at least severely damaged the Qing army and the Russian army in the middle, then the attack of Oshima Yoshimasa and Ricami Shangbun was completely dead! Under Jiulian City, the casualties paid by the Japanese army were several times greater than the total casualties in the previous Korean War!
