Ming Zuo

Chapter 1460 The last afterglow
The reinforcements brought by Zhang Sanming were only 3000 people, but it was enough to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Gu Zhiqi and the 13th regiment completely destroyed the spirit of the Qing army with tragic casualties and sacrifices.

Even if the Qing army still has more than 4 people, it is impossible to break through the defense of the 26th Division.

Most importantly, Zhang Sanming not only brought reinforcements, but also artillery.

The arrival of this big killer completely smoothed out the gap in the number of people.

The road here in Shikou is so narrow, and the number of Qing troops that can rush up in each wave is extremely limited.

They can only form a long formation, rushing forward like an arrow.

For artillerymen, they really like such enemies.

It is almost unnecessary to aim too accurately. It only needs to hit the shells into the valley to cause huge casualties.

Although the 26th Division has only light artillery, it is very effective in this kind of field battle.

"It's our luck that the general on the opposite side is so negligent. Follow the order closely, and don't get lost."

Those without night blindness in the Qing army walked in front and were responsible for exploring the way.The blind man grabbed the belt of the person in front and followed step by step.

The [-] Qing troops roared like trapped beasts, and the tide swept towards the barracks of the National Defense Forces.

Many soldiers of the Qing army screamed and were blown away, which completely exposed the night raid.

This night attack was the last chance for the Qing army.

Seeing that all the villagers had withdrawn, the battalion commander was relieved and redeployed his position.

Duoduo issued a strict order, only to succeed, not to fail.

Through daytime fighting, although the Qing army suffered heavy casualties, it also fully proved the deployment of the Ninth Division.

Now it's a race against time.

Because nothing can be seen clearly, the sense of distance will be lost.

He kept his eyes open as wide as possible, carefully watching for any anomalies.

For Xu Ganzi's insistence, the battalion commander was very patient and thought of a way.

But Zuo Jin's heavy breathing told him that the soldiers of the Qing army were following closely.

"Master Jun, you have few people, we can help here."

Above the fireball, there was also a small balloon hanging with wire.

The night is like ink, only the gurgling water of the Hutuo River provides a natural and beautiful melody for such a night.

Closer!
Lu Kede's nerves were tense, and he stared at the opposite barracks without blinking.

The newly arrived Wehrmacht soldiers began to persuade the people to evacuate their positions.

In the darkness, several explosions suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility.

Fortunately, in order to avoid making noise, he took off the heavy armor on his body.Otherwise, I'm afraid I haven't climbed up to the National Defense Forces, and I'm exhausted.

These fireballs that can fly into the air are naturally simple flares invented by the National Defense Forces.

He looked back, but still couldn't see anything.

As the second son of Sahalian and the grandson of Daishan, Luck Dehun completely inherited the fine genes of his grandfather.Although he is young, he has already made outstanding military exploits and has begun to take the lead among the younger generation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After Luke Dehun passed smoothly, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Luck Dehun didn't know how long he had been climbing, but he was exhausted anyway.

He slapped his hands in the dark night, and the speed of the Qing army's advance suddenly accelerated.

When other generals went to battle one after another, Duoduo handed over the most important errand to the most capable person.

On the top of the mountains on both sides, Zhang Sanming also dispatched a battalion to take over the defense.

I heard that the folks have nothing to say about helping to move things.

These fireballs use cotton soaked in kerosene, and then tightly bound with iron wires. After being ignited, because the iron wires have a relatively high flame resistance, they will not burn for a while, so that the fireballs can continue to provide light.

One of these flaming fireballs alone can provide very limited light, but hundreds of them together immediately make the earth as bright as day.

There has been an uproar in the National Defense Army barracks opposite, and it has obviously been alarmed.

I saw hundreds of big fireballs suddenly flying out of the barracks of the National Defense Forces, slowly floating towards the sky.

"Master Jun, don't worry, we are good at moving things."

This made him feel more confident, imitating the sound of midnight snacks, and tweeted twice.

Luck Dehun led [-] Qing troops to stick to the ground, crawling forward bit by bit.

"My fellow, hurry up and retreat, it's dangerous here."

I don't know what these fireballs were made of. Although the flames were blown wildly in the night wind, they made the flames brighter.

Did the Qing army crash into the National Defense Army barracks first, or did the National Defense Forces set up a defensive formation in advance?
But nothing matters anymore.

Luck Dehun understood that the National Defense Army had planted landmines in front of the barracks, but the matter had come to this point, and there was no turning back when they opened their bows, so they could only charge desperately.

As a result, these hundreds of flares made the Qing army invisible and completely exposed to the muskets of the National Defense Forces.

When the time comes, these balloons are released.And there is a rope on the balloon to control the hands of the person operating on the ground to ensure that the flare will not fly away.

In such a short time, nearly half of the villagers who came to help died.

Because at this time, you can already see the faint flickering flames directly ahead and in the National Defense Army barracks.

He entrusted this task to Luck Dehun who had been recharging his energy.

Boom boom boom...

Through the dark night where you can't see your fingers, offset the advantages of the National Defense Army's muskets and artillery, and then use the advantage of its own large number of people to carry out a surprise battle, it will become the only chance for the Qing army to break through the blockade and return to the outside of the pass.

The Qing soldiers who were still running were all shocked, and they all felt chills all over their bodies.

After a while, the scout returned.

As expected, the barbed wire array here still maintains the appearance after the daytime battle, full of loopholes.

close!

Immediately, scouts from the Qing army passed him and went forward.

"If you guys really want to help, can you go to the rear and bring up the ammunition we need? As long as we have enough ammunition, the Tartars won't be able to come up."

The task of combat should be entrusted to professional talents like them.

"Lord Baylor, the barbed wire fence in front has not been repaired, and it can still be passed through."

Because through these lights, they could already see that the artillery array had already been lined up in the Wehrmacht camp on the opposite side.

He personally took out the horn, and then blew it, passing on the will of resoluteness to everyone.

Luc Dehun was overjoyed.

The mountain road was rugged and walking was inconvenient. After replenishing the two battalions of fresh troops, Gong Ah's attack came to an abrupt end.

Later, he was able to replace Duduo to lead the army, which shows how powerful he is.

Seeing that the Qing army launched a night attack as expected, Yu Lichun smiled ferociously.

There is no reason not to accept such a great gift.

"Fire!"

The Ninth Division, which was waiting in battle, launched quickly, and the sound of gunfire continued like beans being fried.The Qing army was more like the wind blowing wheat, falling down piece by piece.
