Chapter 223 The Battle of Qingdao (7)

Wadesi explained to the generals: "Now that the Bismarck Fort has been destroyed by the enemy, which has left us in a comprehensive passive manner. Therefore, it is no point in continuing to hold our positions, and it will only be destroyed by the enemy's artillery. Moreover, according to the report of Lieutenant Colonel Nedwitz, the combat effectiveness of overseas Chinese troops is not strong, so we might as well attack the whole line and fight the enemy to the death. Perhaps there is still hope of victory. Even if we lose this battle in the end, we have done our best and did not insult the honor of the German soldiers."

After hearing Wadesi's words, the officers understood and were not allowed to admit that Wadesi's plan was indeed the best choice for the German army at present, because only in this way can the German army have a glimmer of hope. Although the probability is not high, it is better than not having any chance at all.

Deputy Commander Major General Falkenhein said: "Marson Marshal, the enemy has now attacked from the sea. How can we deal with the enemy's sea attack?"

Wadexi said: "We still have seven warships in Qingdao Bay, and we should be able to withstand it for a while, but we still have to end the land war as soon as possible, so success or failure is here."

Chief of Staff Major General Schwartzhoff said: "But the attack requires more troops than defense. Now the forces in several positions on the front line are only 900. After being bombarded by the enemy, there will definitely be some losses. Therefore, even if we take the initiative to attack, it may be difficult to defeat the enemy. We still have more than 500 reserve teams. Since we are successful and defeated in one fell swoop, we might as well put the reserve team on the battlefield. With these forces, it should be almost the same. Even if the reserve team does not immediately enter the battlefield, we should also go to the close-range battlefield and observe the situation at close range. Once we have the opportunity, we will immediately join the battlefield and strive to defeat the enemy. If we cannot defeat the enemy, then we will have no other way."

Wadesey nodded and said, "That's all."

At this time, the Governor of Jiao Ao Ye Shike stood up and said, "Marson, I ask me to lead the reserve team to the battlefield in person." Ye Shike is also a German man and has a sense of honor as a soldier. Although his rank of colonel is not high in the German army, in the German fleet, there are 7,8 major generals alone, and more than a dozen colonels. However, Ye Shike is Governor of Jiao Ao after all, so he is responsible for guarding Qingdao, so he volunteered to lead the reserve team to the battle himself.

Wadesi thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, you'll take the reserve team to play."

So Ye Shike immediately led 400 reserve teams to set off. An hour later, Ye Shike led his army to Jialing Mountain. At this time, the sky had already brightened, and the battle here had entered a white-hot stage.

It turned out that after Wadesi's order was passed to the front line, the German army in the Bismarck position first gave up the position and attacked Jialing Mountain. Because Jialing Mountain was close to the German position, the People's Army set up the 75mm caliber howitzer position here. The German army could determine the position of the position based on the trajectory of the shell without sending troops to reconnaissance.

Jialing Mountain was originally just a small hill, with the 75mm caliber howitzer position on the top of Jialing Mountain. Other troops who arrived at Jialing Mountain had no place, so they could only be arranged at the foot of the mountain, the first battalion was arranged directly in front, the second battalion was arranged on the right, and the fifth battalion was arranged on the left, forming a pin-shaped shape.

Bismarck's location is southwest of Jialing Mountain, so the German army in Bismarck's position abandoned the position and launched an almost desperate attack. The first thing they encountered was the fifth battalion arranged on the left side of Jialing Mountain.

At this time, there was indeed a feeling of winning the book within the People's Army. He believed that the German army was powerless to turn things around and could only be trapped in the position and surrendered. However, no one expected that the German army would take the initiative to attack the People's Army at this time, so it was indeed a little prepared for battle and no action.

The fifth battalion is an army with a few veterans as the backbone and supplemented by most new recruits. The so-called veterans are actually just one month of military training. They also experienced several battlefield atmospheres in the Tianjin Defense Battle. In fact, they have never even fought a formal battle. Strictly speaking, they are also new recruits. It can be said that except for dozens of platoon-level officers and company-level officers, they are basically composed of new recruits, and the entire battalion lacks practical experience.

The German army suddenly attacked, and indeed caught the fifth battalion off guard. Moreover, the German soldiers knew that the victory and defeat of this battle were in one move, so everyone fought bravely and raised their guns to rush hard. First, they shot a dense rain of bullets at the fifth battalion, which immediately shot down the soldiers of the fifth battalion. Then the German soldiers used bayonets and launched a fierce charge at the People's Army, killing the People's Army to the ground, almost without resistance, and were defeated by the German army and retreated one after another.

Although dozens of platoon-level officers of the Fifth Battalion were trying their best to command the army to resist, even the battalion commander of the Fifth Battalion Xie Mingfeng even joined the battle with a qz95 rifle and launched fierce strafing at the German army. Because based on the experience of the previous battle, the various weapons used by the time-travel soldiers could play a significant role in improving the combat effectiveness of the entire army on the local battlefield. Therefore, before this battle, Zhu Yaping also required commanders at all levels to go on the battlefield to fight in person, which was to boost the morale of the entire army and to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

However, a unit of more than 400 people was obviously insufficient, relying on the efforts of dozens of people to support it. Moreover, almost all the recruits of the Fifth Battalion were caught off guard by the German army and panicked before the battle. After hearing the constant gunfire, their companions around him were shot and fell to the ground and screamed. It was still resistant. Many soldiers were frightened and fled. Only a few soldiers could follow their commanders and fight hard. One platoon even showed that all the platoons ran away, leaving only the platoon leader and the two deputy platoon leaders were still fighting hard.

Fortunately, there were dozens of time-travel soldiers in the entire battalion facing the attack of the German army. Under their leadership, more than a hundred soldiers were still fighting and fighting to the death. Therefore, the entire battalion was not defeated. However, only these hundreds of dozens of people could not resist the fierce attack of the German army, and could only retreat step by step. At the same time, they also suffered major casualties, and three time-travel soldiers were shot and killed.

At this moment, gunfire sounded loudly from the side, and an army came from the left side of the German army. More than ten soldiers in the first row were holding rifles and sprayed a dense rain of bullets. In just a few dozen seconds, they shot down more than twenty Germans. This immediately stunned the German army. Then several bombs from unknown sources fell into the German army's formation and exploded, killing and injuring the German army. Then the entire army followed and launched a fierce shooting at the German army.

The De Army attacked fiercely just now, and was thinking of defeating the enemy completely, but it was really unprepared to be attacked by his side. He was caught off guard and quickly turned around to fight the newly-killed enemy. This gave the Fifth Battalion a chance to breathe. Battalion Commander Xie Mingfeng hurriedly took advantage of this rare opportunity to reorganize the troops and then join the battle.

And the first battalion of the People's Army came from the German flank.

The area of ​​Jialing Mountain is not big, and it is quiet in the early morning, so fierce battles occurred on the left, and gunfire also reached the battalion in the middle. Luo Yue immediately ordered people to reconnaissance and learned that the German army had actually launched an attack on the People's Army, and the fifth battalion could no longer resist it.

So Luo Yue immediately decided to go and reinforce the fifth battalion immediately, and at the same time, he sent people to send signals to the second battalion and the command center of Laoyaling on the right, telling them that the German army had taken the initiative to attack, and he wanted to reinforce the fifth battalion to let the second battalion pay attention to protecting the artillery positions, and let the Laoyaling command center send reinforcements as soon as possible.

After notifying other troops, Luo Yue immediately led the entire battalion to attack, went around to the left, and launched an attack from the flank of the German army. The second company of the first battalion, which was the first battle of Hualoufeng, detoured the company that launched an attack from behind the German army.

Although the second company suffered a great loss in the previous battle, with the entire company losing as many as 37 people, accounting for almost one-third of the entire company, after the training of that battle, the combat effectiveness of the entire company was significantly improved, and at the same time, it accumulated considerable experience. Company commander Chen Deye ordered all the time travel soldiers to stand in the first row and first give the German army a head-on blow. The magazine of the qz95 rifle was fired at the fastest speed, and several grenades were fired.

This move was indeed effective, and it immediately disrupted the German army's position. Then the two sides launched a comprehensive battle. However, the combat effectiveness of the first battalion was not comparable to that of the fifth battalion. Whether it was personal quality or practical experience, it was much stronger than that of the fifth battalion, and it was prepared. In addition, it seized the initiative, so the German army was always suppressed by the first battalion and was at a disadvantage.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than ten minutes. Although the German army was at a disadvantage, they were well-trained after all, although they were defeated but not chaotic, and they fought and retreated, but they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. However, they could not slow down this breath, regardless of turning the situation around.

At this time, the battalion commander of the Fifth Battalion Xie Mingfeng also reorganized the troops. Although some soldiers had fled from the battlefield, they also organized nearly 300 people, which was considered as the force that they could not force the troops to pull them up again.

The battle just now made Xie Mingfeng very annoyed, because the performance of the Fifth Battalion really made his face lose its luster. No matter how many objective reasons there were, the result was the most important. Fortunately, the battle is not over yet, and he still has the opportunity to find this face to get back. Therefore, while Xie Mingfeng rectified the team and observed the battlefield, hoping to find a good opportunity to join the battlefield again.

At this moment, his phone sent a message signal. Xie Mingfeng hurriedly turned on the phone. It turned out that the command center sent him a message. Another German army appeared on the left side of the battlefield, asking Xie Mingfeng to intercept the enemy.
