On November 28, Luo Yue commanded the People's Army's New Army Battalion and launched an attack on the German army's Laoshan Hualou Peak, which officially opened the curtain of the Qingdao Battle.

Although the German army was not large in number, they did not build solid fortifications on the Hualoufeng position, and did not assemble heavy weapons such as artillery, they occupied favorable geographical conditions and were condescending. Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Nedwitz, the commander of the German army, was not worried about the attack of the People's Army. They calmly commanded the German army to defend their positions and use simple bunkers to fire at the attacking People's Army.

Although the People's Army was lightly equipped, it also brought a small number of long-range suppression weapons, namely two PP89 100mm mortars, two qjz89 12_7mm heavy machine guns, and two qbu88 sniper rifles. After the People's Army was established, the crossing army disbanded a total of three land combat companies, one machine gun company and a mortar company. However, the crossing soldiers assigned to the People's Army still used their own weapons, and other machine gunmen and mortars also replaced the qz95 rifles, so they replaced some long-range suppression weapons. This time, Luo Yue also brought some in case of unexpected results. Because it was the PP89 100mm mortar, it can basically be regarded as a heavy firepower weapon, and it is light and flexible, and easy to carry. There are three warrior cars in the army, and they will never drag the troops' speed.

However, at the beginning of the battle, Luo Yue did not use mortars to bombard the German positions, but ordered two companies to take turns to attack the German positions. However, these two attacks were defeated by the Germans with fierce firepower and superior terrain, leaving behind the bodies of more than twenty soldiers on the battlefield.

Seeing that the German army's positions were closely guarded, Luo Yue did not continue to attack, but ordered the soldiers to use stones, woods and other bunkers to protect them and launch a fire with the German army on the high ground.

After the Tianjin Defense Battle, the soldiers of the People's Army all replaced the German Mauser 98 rifles. After all, the Mauser 98 rifles are one of the best standard rifles of this era. Their performance is far better than the Japanese 30 Murata rifles and Hanyang-made 88 rifles equipped by the new recruits. After defeating the German fleet, the time travelers seized a large number of Mauser 98 rifles, which can completely replace all new soldiers with this type of better rifles. Therefore, both sides used the same type of rifles, but the German army was well-trained and had a advantage in geographical advantages. The People's Army was crowded with a small number of qz95 rifles, with dense firepower. For a time, gunfire sounds on the battlefield, as dense as raindrops, and evenly matched.

However, Lieutenant Colonel Nedewitz, the commander of the German army, breathed a sigh of relief. Although the battle between the two sides did not last long, from his experience, it can be seen that although the enemy had more people than him and his morale was also good, it was obviously lacking in training and average quality, which was far from comparable to some German troops in training. Therefore, even if the troops were more powerful, there was no problem for the German army to defend their positions.

According to Nedwitz's experience, such an army often fights with a spirit of war. It can be extremely brave and unstoppable when the war goes smoothly, and once it is in an unfavorable situation, it will immediately collapse. Therefore, as long as the German army can hold its position and repel the enemy's attacks several times, after the enemy's spirit is exhausted, the German army can still launch a counterattack against the enemy, not only defending the position, but also defeating the enemy in one fell swoop and winning a big victory. Then it will play a major role in inspiring the morale of the entire army and increasing Germany's voice in China. After all, since the emergence of overseas Chinese, it has fought more than a dozen battles with the Eight-Nation Alliance and has not lost a single battle. If the German army can defeat the overseas Chinese army first, this meaning is naturally different from the victory, and one can also write a brilliant page in its military career.

But at this moment, a sharp whistling sound was heard, which was still clearly audible among the dense gunfire. When Nedwitz heard it, his face changed drastically and shouted: "Hurry up, lie down, all lie down, gun..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a "boom" sound, and a shell fell into the German position and exploded, killing 4 or 5 German soldiers, and several other German soldiers. Nedwitz was shocked that there were artillery among the enemy, so he was in trouble now. At the same time, he was very annoyed. How did the reconnaissance team reconnaissance? He actually told the enemy that there were no artillery, which misled his decision.

In fact, Nedwitz really wronged the reconnaissance team, because the People's Army used PP89 100mm mortars, which were usually dismantled and placed on the warrior car, so of course the reconnaissance team could not find it.

Now Nedwitz has no time to pursue these things, because the sound of "boom boom boom" sounded continuously, and the opponent's shells continued to fall on the German positions and exploded. However, the German soldiers were well-trained, and most of the soldiers had practical experience. After knowing that the enemy had artillery, they did not panic. When they heard the sound of the shells falling, they immediately lie down on the ground.

In addition to the impact of the explosion, the lethality of the shell is also an important means. The caliber of the army cannon is not large and the impact of the explosion is limited. Therefore, the main killing method is scattered shrapnel, but the scattered shrapnel needs to have a certain angle. When the shell falls, lying on the ground can minimize the damage of the scattered shrapnel. As long as it is not a bad character, it happens to be lying near the landing point of the shell, the chance of survival is still very high. Experienced veterans know this method.

The several artillery shells that fell continuously did not cause much lethality to the German army. Only more than ten German soldiers were killed or killed, but Nedwitz was a little anxious. Although the enemy's artillery was not very lethal to him, it greatly interfered with the German defense. After all, they were all lying on the ground to avoid artillery shells, so how could they defend their positions? In this way, the enemy could rely on the cover of artillery bombardment to attack the German positions. Therefore, Nedwitz also began to consider whether he should give up his position and retreat to Qingdao. After all, he decided to stick to his position. One of the big reasons was that he learned that the enemy did not have artillery. Now it was confirmed that the enemy had artillery, so there was no need for him to continue to stick to his position.

But at this moment, Needwitz heard a firecracker and Nedwitz looked back and found that at some point, an army in dark green uniforms came from behind the German position. It was exactly the same as the enemy's costumes at the foot of the mountain, only 4,500 meters away from the German position.

Needwitz couldn't help but sank, and he immediately understood the enemy's tactics. The attack on the front battlefield at the foot of the mountain was just a feint attack that attracted his attention. At the same time, they sent an army to go around behind him to attack. The artillery attack just now was probably also a tactic to restrain one's own battle field. At this time, the enemy at the foot of the mountain had stopped the artillery attack, but held a bayonet rifle and launched an attack on the German positions.

At this time, Nedwitz also understood that this battle had been completely defeated and the position would definitely not be able to be defended. He had to break through and withdraw from the battlefield immediately while the enemy's front and rear troops had not formed an encirclement. Otherwise, his army would be wiped out.

However, Nedwitz received rigorous and systematic military education and had rich practical experience. Although he was defeated, he was not chaotic. He quickly made his own judgment and ordered the entire army to install bayonets and turn around to attack the enemy who came from behind, striving to break through the enemy's front line as soon as possible and withdraw back to Qingdao. Because according to Nedwitz's battlefield experience, generally the main force of the enemy's army is the enemy's main force, and the army that came from behind and won by surprise is often a few elites. Therefore, the enemy with weak forces is more likely to break through the opponent's front line and break out of the opponent's attack.

Facts have also proved that Nedwitz's judgment was right. Although the People's Army, which was killed from behind, became the winner of this battle, had only a company of troops, more than one hundred people, and not as many as the Germans on the battlefield. Moreover, although the first battalion of the new army is the strongest army in the People's Army, compared with the well-trained German army, there is still a considerable gap in both individual combat power and squad-platoon joint combat capabilities. The hand-to-hand combat capabilities of the two sides are far different. The Germans were originally tall and strong, strong and long arms, and after systematic training, they were far from comparable to the People's Army soldiers who had only been in the army for more than two months. Therefore, a German soldier often had two or three soldiers of the People's Army in hand-to-hand combat.

In addition, on this local battlefield, the German army still had a certain advantage in terms of number of people, so the entire German army attacked back and fought with the People's Army in hand-to-hand combat. They were often the soldiers of the People's Army who were stabbed to the ground by bayonets.

Fortunately, in this company, the chief and deputy platoon commanders, as well as the chief and deputy company commanders, and the company instructors are all from time travel soldiers. Their individual soldiers are not inferior to those of German soldiers, and they are also using qz95 rifles. In such close combat, the continuous shooting ability of the qz95 rifle exerted great power, and the German soldiers were hit and fell to the ground without being close enough.

It was precisely through the brave battle of these nine time-travel soldiers that the situation of the People's Army was maintained without any strength. Although they were beaten backwards by the German army, they were not defeated in a complete defeat.
