Chapter 577: Report a Great Victory, Have a New Year
"Woe to you! Woe to you! ”
Tang Renlian, the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division, shouted urgently: "Once the city is broken, the army outside the nearly 10,000 passes will be blocked by the fire outside the mountain and sea city, won't there be no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground!" ”
"It's hateful to close the city by fire, otherwise the old man will lead tens of thousands of Xiangjiang sons out of the city for reinforcements, and he will definitely kill these clowns who jump off the beam like a backhand!"
Wu Dacheng's face was full of excitement, and he said angrily: "There is also this artillery battalion of the anti-Japanese army, which actually took the lead in escaping, which made the rest of the army disheartened; This battalion official must be beheaded and punished, so as to set an example! ”
The generals on the side who heard it all endured the disdain on their faces and remained silent.
What the hell TM!
Don't look at the 10 battalion infantry soldiers under your command Liu Shuyuan and Wu Yuankai, what kind of garbage are they?
Only a few rounds of artillery were fired, and about 3,000 people were already frightened and disappeared like rabbits, and the barracks were full of guns, cannons, rifles, as well as seriously wounded and dying soldiers and dead corpses.
Especially in Wu Yuankai's 4th battalion artillery team, except for those who were seriously injured and killed, all of them ran cleanly, and they rode all the mules and horses that pulled the small cannons.
But not even a small cannon was pulled away!
The artillery battalion of the anti-Japanese army is to pull away the artillery to avoid the artillery, and the 80mm caliber tube of the people's cannon can be pulled away by three or four times the weight of your small cannons.
If you really cut down that battalion officer Xiao Ligang, it is equivalent to offending He Changying and Xu Bangdao at the same time, and cutting him, shouldn't the leaders of the 10 battalions under you also be cut down together?
"Okay, good fight!"
At this time, Wu Dacheng saw the Japanese army rushing to the gap, and was pressed by the anti-Japanese army, and the Green cannon was fired, which was simply a loss of color from heaven and earth, and he couldn't help but applaud loudly.
"The Green fast cannon is really sharp, I heard that the Yi Army also has two electric guns, and it is even more unstoppable;"
Yan Anlan, the head of the household department of the former enemy camp office of the Hunan army, saw his eyebrows fluttering: "The governor should ask the emperor to buy hundreds of electric guns from the West, if they are all set up in the position, even 100,000 Japanese soldiers will not be able to enter the Shanhaiguan!" ”
Hearing Yan Anlan's layman's words, including a group of Hunan army generals, they all grinned.
This new type of race electric gun is not only staggeringly expensive, I heard that it can shoot 600 rounds of ammunition in one minute, but this kind of kung fu alone can be lost for four or five taels of silver.
It is said that 10 years ago, during the Sino-French War, Li Hongzhang went to the British Empire to participate in the press conference of the electric gun, and after listening to the price, he sighed twice and said "too expensive", and finally only bought three doors and planned to pull them back to imitate.
It's a pity that the imperial court, which has never understood what is called patent fees, has never been able to imitate it, even the imitation of the Green gun, which can no longer be rubbish, and it will jam as soon as it is released.
Even Li Hongzhang is too expensive to buy, which adult can have so much spare money to let the head of the soldiers be so wasted.
Anyway, in the Qing Dynasty, cheap soldiers were ordered to earn a living to eat, and there were soldiers everywhere.
With this silver, why don't you casually pull up tens of thousands of soldiers?
"The artillery battalion of the anti-Japanese army is avoiding artillery, not escaping; Of course, General Liu, General Wu, and Admiral Wu's battalion are also avoiding their edge. ”
Liu Kun's face was blue, and he looked better again when he saw the Japanese army being suppressed by the Green fast cannon and fleeing in embarrassment.
Shanhaiguan burned into this appearance, if the three cities outside the customs are lost, the Shanhaiguan defense line will collapse.
He is the commander of the customs, and if he loses Shanhaiguan, he will definitely be condemned by the emperor, and it is a luxury to be able to retreat like Li Hongzhang.
Although he is extremely disgusted with He Changying, the truth that both inside and outside the customs are prosperous and one is lost, is a fact that cannot be changed at all.
Therefore, seeing that the attack of the Japanese army was repelled outside the gate, Liu Kunyi could not talk nonsense with a clear conscience.
However, before the generals could speak, they were disgraced to see the Japanese soldiers carrying a long ladder and ascending the city of Dongluo.
Finished!
On Huanxi Ridge, the hearts of all the Qing generals shook violently.
Looking at the East and West Luo City, on the north wing of the city, the anti-Japanese army, the Gongwei army, the Sheng army, the Luyu defense army, the Renzi army and the Japanese soldiers fought together.
Looking at the soldiers of the Qing army, they went forward one after another to kill the Japanese soldiers, and finally suppressed the Japanese soldiers on the top of the city wall.
Looking at Lu Zhaomei's company of soldiers, more than two hundred bright blades rushed into the battle group.
The generals of the Qing army on Huanxi Ridge all held their breath tremblingly.
Until the end, the Japanese army had no choice but to flee off the city wall in a hurry, and some even jumped directly from the battlements of six or seven meters above the city wall to escape for their lives.
These veterans wiped the cold sweat on their faces in shock.
"Beiyang elite, it really lives up to its name!"
Yan Anlan said with amazement on his face: "With this heroic army, Shanhaiguan is impregnable!" ”
"General Bai, the telegraph office should be fine?"
Liu Kunyi excitedly asked Bai Ji, who was also happy next to him, grinning.
"The telegraph office is leaning against the edge of the southern city, and the wires are buried directly, and the rest of the buildings are separated from the open space of the boss; The house has blue brick walls and stone beams, and it is ironclad. ”
Bai Ji, the guard of Shanhaiguan, patted his chest and packed the ticket.
"Now the fire at the south gate is small; Let's go, generals, go down the mountain to report the great victory to the emperor and celebrate the New Year! ”
Liu Kunyi laughed and thought that since the Japanese bombed Shanhaiguan, it means that Guancheng also participated in the battle, and fought very bravely.
Otherwise, your majesty, the entire city is about to be blown up and burned down, and the Japanese soldiers have not 'hit' in.
"Haha, report a big victory, celebrate the New Year!"
The veterans of the city tower, although it is difficult to say that they fought, but they have been in the Qing Dynasty for decades, and now since they can have official hats, it means that they are not stupid.
Where can I still hear Liu Duxian's meaning, they are all overjoyed, and they are all full of energy to go down the mountain.
Dongluo City.
He Changying checked all the way from the North Wing City, the Inner City, Xiluo City, and finally to the North Wing City, and his face was gloomy as ink.
The ruins of the city, the soldiers buried alive by collapsed houses, the piles of corpses that were blown into bunkers by high-explosive shells, and the exposed soldiers who were shot by grenades.
The bombed-out walls were cratered, and the corpses of soldiers were strewn all over it.
In this battle, although the specific casualty figures have not yet been released, there is no doubt that it will be absolutely staggering.
After Xu Bangdao returned to Jinmen, the old subordinate deputy generals Jiang Shunfa and Liang Yongyi, who were brought in, hid in a bunker and were affected by a high-explosive bomb, Jiang Shunfa was killed on the spot, and Liang Yongfu was blown off his right thigh and his life was in danger.
Jia Qisheng's lieutenant Fan Wenli, when he was fighting with the Japanese army with a big knife at the head of the city, he was stabbed in the lower abdomen, and his life and death were uncertain.
Hu Kuifang, deputy company commander of the third company of Li Fengrui's battalion of the anti-Japanese army, was wounded in the attack on Andong County and returned to Jinmen to recuperate.
——
He Changying stood on Dongluo City.
Lu Zhaomei didn't know what was going on, so she handed over the affairs of the battalion to Ye Chuansong, the deputy battalion commander, and followed closely behind He Changying, holding high a red flag flying in the wind.
Looking at the main city of mountains and seas where the black smoke is still there, a group of veterans of the Qing army who are descending the ridge on Huanxi Ridge, and various colored flags in the mountains that stretch from Huanxi Ridge to Jiaoshan Mountain.
Then look north at the Japanese positions.
He Changying suddenly smiled and said, "Read a poem." ”
