Chapter 609: Breaking the Battle Four
"Boom!"
In the area of the old dragon head in the east that could not be seen in the sight, there was another loud noise, and a mushroom cloud could be seen in the distance, rising in mid-air.
"Bang!"
Moji and Taro shot down a fleeing Qing army, and ordered with a cruel smile: "The commander has an order, don't take prisoners in this battle, all of them will be killed!" β
"Hey!"
The Japanese troops who rushed into Weiyuan City shouted in unison, and the soldiers were divided into three routes, climbing the broken West Great Wall all the way, climbing the broken East Great Wall all the way, and killing directly into Weiyuan City.
The Qing army trapped and died on the broken Great Wall, and the Qing army in Weiyuan City, carried out a bloody massacre.
So far, in less than 40 minutes, the defense line of the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan has been full of holes and leaks.
"Attack!"
A large number of Japanese troops rushed in from the breach, and the Qing troops on the city wall except for a few bravely raised their guns to shoot, and then were knocked down by the dense guns and bullets of the Japanese army, the rest of the Qing troops were full of horror and dropped their rifles, raised their guns, and fought hard to climb down the wall, trying to escape from this battlefield danger as soon as possible.
"Shoot!"
Some of the Japanese troops who poured in from the breach continued to shoot at the pass, and some of them raised their guns and fired fiercely at the Qing troops who were climbing on the city wall and wanted to jump.
"Ahh
Everywhere was the miserable and desperate cry of the Qing army.
"It's over, it's over!"
Xu Bangdao stomped his feet again and again and shouted: "This Great Wall has been cut into several sections, how can the tens of thousands of soldiers on it get down the city wall?" Wouldn't you fall to your death if you squeezed and jumped down! It's just that you can't die, you break your head and bleed, and you can beat a fart."
"Brother, don't worry about them; The Japanese are about to attackβ"
Jia Qisheng's face was ashen, and his voice was full of trills: "Let's defend our three cities first!" β
"The divisions are immediately in position and ready to shoot!"
In the various defense areas of the three cities outside the Guanwai, the officers shouted with trembling hearts to gather their troops and prepare for the imminent Japanese attack.
"Stop moving, stop moving forward!"
"Crawl down!"
However, a large number of Japanese troops rushed to the distance of 300 meters in front of the north wing city, the east and west Luo cities, and the east and west breastwork walls of the inner city, and stopped charging under the shouts of the Japanese officers.
They all lay down and set up guns against the three cities outside the gate.
At the same time, about two squadrons of Japanese infantry went around to the southern city of Dongxiluo City, trying to fortify outside the Shanhaiguan Gate and block the southward retreat of the three cities outside the Guan.
"The Japanese army is looking for death! Brothers, call me! β
The Gong Guards guarding the southern city wall of Dongxiluo City, the Shengzi Battalion, saw that there were only less than 200 Japanese soldiers, and they actually wanted to sneak to the Shanhaiguan Gate to intercept them, and they all yelled and lay on the battlements and raised their guns to shoot.
"Bang, bang, bangβ"
"Yaga!"
"Ahh
"Don't fight back, stride and run!"
With intensive fire on the walls, the Japanese ranks soon began to show casualties.
"Retreat southward, away from the Qing army's firing zone!"
The two Japanese squadrons that broke through, seeing the fierce guns of the Qing army in the south of the three cities outside the Guanwai, shouted and ordered the troops to stay away from the three cities outside the Guanhai and hide in the direction of the main city wall of Shanhaiguan.
There was a distance of about 400 meters between the southern wall of the city of Dongxiluo and the wall of the main city of Shanhaiguan, and as the Japanese infantry moved south, the shooting accuracy on the city wall of Dongxiluo suddenly decreased sharply.
"Paralyzed, hit!"
Xia Qingyun ran from the east city wall of Dongluo City to the south city wall, looking at the Qing army standing on the main city of Shanhaiguan, but they were all as stunned as wooden stakes, and couldn't help jumping up and scolding: "A group of waste rice worms!" β
The main city of Shanhaiguan, the north city wall.
As the Japanese sappers blasted through the Great Wall, a large number of Japanese troops frantically poured into the pass, and the artillery fire from the north finally stopped completely.
The three cities outside the Guanguan and the main city of Shanhaiguan have long been burned to the ground, so this shelling, except for the ignition of more than a dozen houses, the rest of the fire did not catch fire.
Between heaven and earth, there was no loud roar, only a dense torrential rain of gunfire, a terrible and desperate howl.
As the east and west walls of Shanhaiguan were blown up by the Japanese army, more than 5,500 banner soldiers, the Thunder Army, and Liu Shuyuan's Hunan Army.
In addition to the more than 400 Qing soldiers who were killed by shells and city-breaking explosives, and nearly 1,000 soldiers who were lucky to be cut off in the main city of Shanhaiguan, there were about 4,000 Qing troops, together with Bai Ji, Liu Shuyuan, and Tang Renlian, who were trapped and died on the Great Wall six or seven meters high.
Surrounded by the Japanese heavy regiments, they are shooting with guns raised.
And Liu Kunyi's 2,000 Jiangnan soldiers and nearly 1,000 flag soldiers, the Thunder Army, and the Hunan Army were all frightened hedgehogs gathered on the Beiguan City Wall, looking at Liu Kunyi, who was sitting on the city wall with a pale face, waiting for his idea.
"Duxian, it's too late if you don't withdraw!"
Yi Shunding's lips trembled, and he reluctantly helped Liu Kunyi to urge: "Our three thousand men and horses should immediately withdraw from the main city at this time, and take all the troops to Yongping Mansion and Wu Junmen, and Chen Junmen's six thousand troops converge; Yongping Mansion is bordered by the sea in the east and mountains and rivers in the west, so it will definitely be able to block the Japanese people! β
"Yes, the Governor of the Constitution, and the nearly 10,000 troops of the three outer cities; Our 20,000 elite soldiers gather in Yongping, and we will definitely be able to stop the Japanese soldiers! β
A lieutenant general next to him said nonsense that he didn't even believe, and only hoped that Liu Kunyi would immediately order to abandon the city and flee south.
"Yes, yes! Uniting with the Beiyang Army, relying on the natural danger of Yongping Mansion, we have no chance of making a comeback. β
A group of civil servants and military generals around Liu Kunyi looked 'loyal' and persuaded Liu Kunyi bitterly.
I just thought that Liu Kunyi hurriedly ordered to escape, and before the Japanese troops at the east and west sides had broken through, everyone hurriedly ran away and ran for their lives.
"Bang, bang, bangβ"
Suddenly, there was a fierce gunshot, and the generals dared to look down, and it turned out to be two groups of Japanese soldiers, inserted into the open space between the three cities outside the pass and the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan from the east and west sides.
On the east and west cities, the troops outside the gate on the south chest wall of the two cities were desperately raising their guns and shooting.
"Governor!"
A group of civil and military officers stomped their feet in a hurry.
It's not that I'm afraid that I'll just flee south without the big black pot of Liu Kunyi, and it is estimated that if I go back, I will lose my head, and the generals on the city wall will have already dispersed in a hurry.
"Yuβ"
There was a sudden roar of horses in the city, and an officer of the Thunder Army Battalion standing in the south exclaimed: "The artillery battalion of the Anti-Japanese Army!" Since they set up a carriage, why didn't they flee south, but came to the city? β
"What?"
"Are they crazy, or are they stupid?"
There was an uproar above the city walls.
"They're going to get out!"
Liu Kunyi suddenly pushed away Yi Shunding, who was supporting him, and stood on the city wall, his eyes were like old falcons, staring at Xiao Ligang's artillery battalion, which was pulling 13 tubes and retreating guns, and hurried towards the north gate of the city.
"What a He Anzhi! Amazing, amazing, I'm not as good as you! β
At this moment, Liu Kun thought about a lot of things, looked at the three cities outside the gate with a glint of eyes, and roared loudly: "For the country and the court, dare to fall into death, be a pillar of the Optimus Kingdom, a real hero!" β
He leaned on the south wall and yelled at the panicked Qing soldiers guarding the gate below: "Open the city gate and let them out!" β
"Can't be a governor!"
There was an uproar on the North Great Wall of Shanhaiguan, and they all tried to admonish: "If the city gate is opened, if the Japanese rush in, it will be a monstrous disaster!" β
Liu Kun was as if he had not heard of it, and yelled at the city with an old face: "Shanhaiguan is already full of holes, and it has long been a monstrous disaster!" Open the gates now! β
"Open the gates, open the gates!"
The gate guard camp officer below immediately shouted in panic when he saw Liu Kun being angry: "Hurry up and open the city gate!" β
"Bang-"
Immediately, the heavy bronze door of the middle door was slowly pushed open.
"Duxian, let's run away ββ, retreat!"
Yi Shun jumped straight to his feet.
"Run?"
Liu Kunyi sneered: "Where do you want to escape?" The Japanese army at the back nine gates may have trapped Yongping Mansion, waiting to catch the turtle in the urn! β
"Yaga! A lot of clear dogs, all of them are dead! β
At this time, a group of Japanese soldiers climbed up from the broken Great Wall in the east, roaring and rushing towards the main city of Shanhaiguan. 8910
