3rd of March, night!
The dark night enveloped the northern shore of Weihaiwei. Only the lights on the shore made people feel a trace of the human world.
These lights were coming from the camp of the Japanese Army!
Previously, Ding Ruchang had ordered 300 suicide squads to destroy the north bank battery. The Japanese army had no choice but to use the cannons on the battery, but their power was still limited.
In order to prevent the Northern Navy from making a comeback, the Dongyang Army stationed two large groups on the north shore, with nearly 1,500 people.
However, the Beiyang Navy had never coveted this abandoned fort. In addition to the fact that the Beiyang Navy had attacked Rongcheng Bay, the Dongyang Army stationed on the north shore had relaxed.
Tonight, Colonel Hengshan and a few officers were eating meat and drinking wine in the tent.
The meat was fresh sea fish meat. It was eaten using the usual sashimi method of Daisuke Hengshan's hometown in Hokkaido. After it was cut thickly, it was dipped in a thick seasoning. With a bite, the fragrance of the meat spread from his lips and teeth, and the taste could go all the way from his mouth to his stomach.
Coupled with the Japanese sake, it was awesome!
"Call the Company Leaders to come and drink.”Perhaps he felt that drinking was not satisfying enough with fewer people around, Senior Colonel Hengshan said drunkenly.
"Great officer, what should we do if the Beiyang Navy attacks?”Chestnut asked worriedly.
"The Northern Navy only has a total of two thousand people. What do they have to fight us? Don't forget, there were 20,000 soldiers from the Imperial Army in Weihai. If the Beiyang Navy had the intention to land, they would have already landed at Rongcheng Bay!”
Colonel Hengshan rolled his eyes and scolded angrily.
Ever since they had been guarding the abandoned north bank battery, the Northern Navy had not even let go of their shotgun a few times. After all, most of the cannons on the north bank battery had been destroyed.
Although some cannons were not destroyed, their breechblocks had been removed, so they could not fire at all.
Therefore, most of the time, it was so quiet that most of the Japanese soldiers felt that they were not fighting, but on vacation.
Lieutenant Colonel Kuriki couldn't persuade them, so he called the squadron leaders to Lieutenant Colonel Hengshan's room.
In addition, he also brought a dozen military prostitutes.
These were all women from the East. They were beautiful and could sing and dance. It was a great thing to have fun in this foreign land!
" Lord Hengshan, when we conquer all of Shandong, you will definitely be promoted to major general-"
"How can a mere major general send me away? I, Hengshan, must become the Great General of the Great Eastern Empire!”Senior Colonel Hengshan drew his saber and said, forgetting himself.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the world shook.
Hundreds of cannonballs fell from the sky and landed on the north bank's cannons.
Many Japanese soldiers were still asleep when they were sent flying into the sky by the shockwaves of the explosion. Some of them were lucky enough to escape with their lives. With the pale moonlight, they saw the faint warships on the ocean and could not help but exclaim," The Northern Navy has fired!”。
"Eight squares!"
Colonel Hengshan came out of the barracks in a fluster. He looked up from a high place and saw that several fast boats had already docked and an army was quickly gathering.
There were not many soldiers, only six or seven hundred.
"Lieutenant Kuriki, you will lead the first group while I will lead the second group to intercept them at the fort. One wanted to kill all the enemies!”
Senior Colonel Hengshan said angrily.
Although the cannons of the Northern Navy had killed more than a hundred Japanese soldiers, Senior Colonel Hengshan still had more than 1,400 well-equipped soldiers under him.
They quickly organized themselves into neat teams and waited at the col.
Behind the Japanese soldiers, four 75mm Krupp Cannons were set up, like bloodthirsty beasts baring their fangs.
However, after the Beiyang Navy went ashore, they took a turn and entered the abandoned battery on the north bank. This greatly disappointed Senior Colonel Hengshan.
"This cannon has long been abandoned. What's the point of them occupying this place?”
Just as Commander Hengshan was puzzled, Yang Yonglin was using his attribute points to repair the damaged cannon.
Of course, there were seven or eight cannons that were intact, but they lacked a breech.
Before they landed, Yang Yonglin specifically asked the quartermaster to find the breechblocks for all types of cannons.
At this moment, after the first-class gunners Wang Guocheng and Li Shimao installed the breechblock, seven or eight 260mm Krupp Cannons were instantly revived!
Under the control of the navy gunners, they quickly turned around and aimed at the Japanese soldiers at the col.
Boom!
The sound of cannons shook the sky as artillery shells rained down.
Even though it was night time and the accuracy of the shots was much lower, the shock of the explosion struck the fragile nerves of the Japanese soldiers. A captain swung his knife randomly and stabbed the soldier beside him through the heart.
"Charge out and take back the cannon!"
Now that things had come to this point, Colonel Hengshan could only give up on the idea of waiting and take back the fort. Otherwise, what awaited him would be merciless military law.
Two large groups of soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, surged towards the turret like a tide.
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
Senior Colonel Hengshan roared at the top of his lungs because he heard that the Northern Navy's cannons had stopped firing. This was a good opportunity to charge.
As long as they could reach the front, the Japanese army would be able to use a dense rain of bullets to defeat the enemy.
Most of these Qing people were sallow and emaciated. How could they be a match for the Japanese soldiers?
Da da da---
Terrifying gunshots suddenly rang out in the darkness. Ten long tongues of fire crazily spat out, and dense bullets poured down like a mountain torrent.
Colonel Hengshan only saw the soldiers fall in groups. In less than a minute, more than a hundred people had died.
"What weapon is this?"
Colonel Hengshan was so shocked that his sword fell to the ground!
What answered him was the sound of more bullets.
The 10 Maxim HMs and 20 Maxim LMs formed a powerful net of fire, trapping the 1,400 Japanese soldiers.
Flames danced wildly, and bullets rained down.
Many soldiers of the Japanese Army were shot into a bloody sieve.
Some of them had their entire torso shattered!
Screams rose and fell, and the air was filled with the strong smell of blood. The entire scene was as terrifying as hell.
In less than ten minutes, the 1,400 Japanese soldiers were completely wiped out.
Colonel Hengshan's head was blown away by Maxim's Heavy Strike Gun. His torso was like a beehive, and not a single muscle was intact.
At dawn, when the smoke dispersed, the soldiers of the Northern Navy saw this bloody scene and could not help but be shocked by the power of the great killing weapon.
In their excitement, they raised their guns to the sky and roared in victory!
