?The Chinese army's attack on Zhangqiu County began on April 26, two days later than the battle to attack Chongzhou.
The Fourth Army launched an attack on Zhangqiu County from the east, south and north respectively. The attack on the eastern front was handled by the Second Division, mainly attacking the Qing army's Sanchagang, Baihu Mountain, Liu Linji, and Zhaojiaguanzhuang.
The 11th Division was responsible for the attack on the southern front, attacking Jingshiqiao, Xiangshagou, Xiaoshuikou, Matougu and other positions set up by the Qing army here; the 2nd Brigade attacked the northern front, which was mulberry on this line
Jiapu, Dawangdian, Zhenggangcun and other positions. The special forces brigade of the Ninth Army served as the reserve force.
The battle was extremely fierce at the beginning because the proportion of firearms used by the Qing army this time exceeded any previous battle, and the firepower was greatly increased. It caused great difficulties to the Chinese army's offensive.
The Qing army was training the new army, which was not a secret for the Chinese army, so the Chinese army also expected the strengthening of the Qing army's firepower. Moreover, before the battle, Zhou Shaohuan also received the Gunzhou battlefield sent by Tong Dayong.
The battle report, knowing that the Qing army's firepower could no longer be estimated using the previous concepts, also issued a preview to the entire army, but after the attack began, it was still far beyond the imagination of the Chinese army.
Fortunately, the Chinese army was mentally prepared, so after surviving the initial shock, the Chinese army quickly stabilized and launched a fierce attack on the Qing army's positions. The artillery battalion of the Second Division on the Eastern Front was the first to
The Qing army's Sanchagang position launched a series of fierce artillery bombardments, and various artillery fired, bending straight, causing the Qing army's positions to explode continuously, and the Qing army's soldiers could hardly even lift their heads. Although there were trenches and sandbags.
The walls were used as cover, but the Qing army still suffered many soldiers.
Although the Qing army also fired artillery and counterattacked, although the number of artillery in the Qing army was not small, it was scattered in more than ten positions. Therefore, on a certain position alone, the artillery fire of the Qing army was far from comparable to that of the Chinese army.
Then, under the cover of artillery, the 37th Regiment of the 2nd Division also launched a ground attack on the Sanchagang position. Although it was stubbornly stopped by the Qing army, the soldiers of the 37th Regiment were very brave and braved the Qing army.
The firepower and forcefully assaulted. At the same time, the artillery battalion of the regiment set up thirty mortars less than 100 meters away from the position of the Qing army, and took turns to launch the flowering bullets into the Qing army's positions.
With the strong support of the artillery, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Qing army finally broke through the defense line, and the two sides launched fierce hand-to-hand combat in the Qing army's positions. Although the Qing army also resisted vigorously, it was in the Second Division.
After another regiment was reinforcing to the battlefield, the Qing army finally couldn't resist and gave up the Sanchagang position and retreated to Zhangqiu County.
Then, the Second Division launched an attack on the Baihu Mountain position. The guards of the Baihu Mountain position were the Inlaid Blue Flag Niuluezhennahai, with only more than 500 defenders. Nahai was originally an ordinary infantry soldier of the Eight Banners.
In the southern expedition, most of the elites of the Manchu Eight Banners were lost, and later they had to expand their troops. In addition, he had some other tricks, so he became Niu Luezhen, but whether it was his own ability or his experience on the battlefield.
In fact, they are not qualified.
In fact, Yue Le also knew how many Nahai had to use, but because the Baihu Mountain position was the highest position outside Zhangqiu County, Yue Le believed that there was danger here and there was no need to arrange too many troops, so Nahai was sent.
He guarded the Baihu Mountain position, but Nahai did not dare to resist the order, so he had to bite the bullet and come up.
The loss of Sanchagang's position also brought great psychological pressure to the defenders of Baihu Mountain. Therefore, after the Eighth Division launched an attack on Baihu Mountain, the defenders themselves became in chaos. As a result, they did not resist for a while and then Nahai was He fled from Baihu Mountain with his army.
Baihu Mountain can overlook all the defensive positions on the east side of Zhangqiu County. Therefore, after capturing Baihu Mountain, the Chinese army also gained great advantages on the battlefield on the Eastern Front. The Second Division immediately moved its division headquarters to Baihu. Shan, ready to continue to attack Zhangqiu County.
The Chinese army's attack on the southern line was much more difficult. The first one to attack the southern line was Jingshi Bridge. Although this place is called a bridge, there is actually no river. There is only a dry riverbed. The Qing army is Jingshi. Fortifications were built on the west bank of the bridge to resist the attack of the 11th Division of the Chinese Army.
Also under the cover of artillery, the Chinese army launched wave after wave of attack on the Qing army's defense line through stone bridge, but the dry riverbed did increase the difficulty of the Chinese army's attack, although the soldiers of the 11th Division were very He worked hard and broke through the defense line of the Qing army several times, but he was defeated by the Qing army.
The two sides fought repeatedly on the positions, and even several times changed hands, almost all the corpses of Chinese soldiers were lying in the riverbed. Once, the Chinese army had almost driven the Qing army out of the positions, but with A reinforcement army was sent to Xiaoshuikou defense line adjacent to the Shiqiao defense line. After the Qing army joined forces, they launched a counterattack, and they even fought back the Chinese army to the east coast of Jingshiqiao.
It was not until the Eleventh Division sent a battalion to block the reinforcements from other positions and completely cut off the Qing army's support. This was the capture of the Jingshiqiao position, but it also paid a considerable price.
Then the 11th Division launched an attack on the Qing army's small waterkou defense line, but after three consecutive attacks, they could not break through the Qing army's defense line, and the war on the southern line was in a stalemate.
Although the battle was very fierce, the Chinese army had achieved some results on both the east and south lines. The offensive was the northern line. Therefore, the second brigade was responsible for the attack, and the first one was to attack the northern line. The Sangjiapu of the Qing army prevented money. However, according to the organization of the Chinese army, there was no artillery regiment at the first level of the brigade. Although each regiment was equipped with an artillery battalion, in order to facilitate operation, the artillery battalion carried medium and light artillery. Limited range.
Due to the lack of cover from heavy artillery, at the beginning of the attack on the Sangjiapu defense line, the Second Brigade was attacked by artillery on the Qing army's positions, although the artillery battalion was later approaching the Qing army's positions under the attack of the Qing army. Artillery was set up at the front to provide firepower support to the attacking troops, but the effect was significantly worse. Therefore, although the Chinese army launched continuous attacks on the Qing army's positions, after a day of fighting, it was still unable to break through the Qing army's positions.
After the first day of the battle, the Fourth Army captured three positions of the Qing army, and by conquering the Baihu Mountain position, he gained a very obvious advantage on the eastern front. This result was also considered unsatisfactory. However, because The Qing army's firepower was significantly improved, which also caused a large number of casualties to the Chinese army. In the first day of the battle, the Chinese army suffered a total of more than 1,100 people and more than 1,300 people were injured. The injured soldiers this time are not like the battlefield in Yanzhou. They are all injured in flesh and blood. Most of the soldiers here are injured by gun pills. Not only does they recover slowly, but a considerable number of soldiers are difficult to heal. , or even after he was cured, he could not join the army and join the war. Therefore, the actual number of people on the battle on this day exceeded 2,000.
Such casualties were also unexpected before the battle. To be honest, the Chinese army defeated the Qing army in succession in the past few years, so there was a feeling of looking down on the Qing army in the entire army, although this emotion caused the Qing army to be despised.
When the Chinese Army faced the Qing army, it had a certain psychological advantage, but it cannot be denied that it also breeds a pride in the Chinese Army, believing that the Qing army is just like this.
This time, the Shandong Military Region first received the order from Shang Yi to launch a full-scale attack on the Qing court. The entire Shandong Military Region also spread a sense of joy, thinking that it was finally time for him to show his skills and could go to other troops, Zhengming, Shandong
The strength of the military region is also a great opportunity to make contributions by oneself. The continuous victory at the beginning also encouraged this emotion.
But now the Chinese army has encountered considerable difficulties on both fronts of the Shandong battlefield, and among them, the difficulties on the front line of Jinan are even greater. After all, on the Yanzhou battlefield, the Chinese army has almost figured out the Qing army.
Routines have begun to gain advantages.
However, the battle has begun, so we cannot give up halfway. Moreover, today's battle is not entirely unfavorable to the Chinese army. Didn't it also seize the three positions of the army? Therefore, all the generals also believed that we should continue to go to Zhang tomorrow.
Qiu County launched an attack, putting greater pressure on the Qing army. It was on the Eastern Front, and could completely take advantage of the current advantages to break through the Qing army's peripheral positions in one fell swoop and fight to Zhangqiu County.
Of course, Zhou Shaohuan was not willing to withdraw his troops like this. Seeing that the morale of the generals remained unabated, he was very happy. Therefore, he decided to continue to strengthen the offensive the next day and strive to break through the outer defense line of Zhangqiu County.
Of course, although the Chinese army suffered a lot of casualties, the situation of the Qing army may not be good. In the first day of the battle, the Qing army also killed more than 800 people, more than 1,000 others were injured, and three were lost.
This position, because it is the Baihu Mountain position, does make Yue Le feel very troublesome.
Yue Le immediately ordered the beheading of Niuluezhennahai, who abandoned his position, to show his head to the public, warning the entire army that if he did not work hard to resist and fear the death, this is an example. After Nahai was beheaded, the entire army would
Everyone was shocked, and no one dared to retreat easily.
Of course it is easy to kill Nahai, but the battle situation is not optimistic. In addition to the loss of three positions, the ammunition consumption of each position is also an astonishing number. It is the Xiaoshuikou defense line and the Sangjiapu defense line, because the battle is fierce
The consumption of ammunition reaches about 80%. If the Chinese army launches another attack tomorrow, it will probably not be able to support it for an hour.
Because the Qing army has just transformed, there is no clear idea about the amount of ammunition consumed in a battle. Yue Le calculated that if this amount of ammunition is used, the entire Zhangqiu County Army will reserve at most ammunition.
It only takes ten days. Now the passage from Zhangqiu to Jinan has been cut off by the Chinese army. It is probably very difficult to replenish ammunition. Once there is no ammunition, what else can the Qing army use to resist the attack of the Chinese army? At this time,
Yue Le couldn't help but regret it. It seemed that he had underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Army too much.
