Thirty miles north of Fengtian, the top of Huishan Mountain. 56 Library's new website:

Shengjing General Yulu, Heilongjiang General Yiketanga, Jilin General Changshun, Northeast Military Training Minister An Ding, Shanhaiguan Deputy Commander Wu Heng E,——

A group of Eight Banner generals stood on the top of the snow-capped Huishan Mountain, looking at the water-soaked Pujiabao surrounded by the 5,000 army one mile north of the mountain, all with a helpless face.

Since the fall of Mukden twenty days ago, tens of thousands of troops of the Qing Dynasty have fled in disintegration and fled everywhere, and it was not until ten days ago that they regrouped in Tieling.

Song Qing's 2,600 Yi Army, Zhang Gaoyuan's 2,700 Songwu Army, Yiketang'a's 4,000 Zhenbian Army, Changshun's 1,700 Jilin Army, Geng Fengming's 800 Xinfeng Army, Wu Heng's 600 Qi Character Training Army, and 1,000 Sheng Character Training Army.

There are more than 13,000 people in the whole army.

There are also hundreds of civil and military officials who have been withdrawn from various cities, and more than 2,000 people are escorted by their family members and servants.

In addition, there are also temporary recruits of various miscellaneous local regiments, and more than 20,000 township brave ,—— but they have been forcibly disbanded by Yulu's order.

It's not that there are too many soldiers, but there are not so many guns and ammunition, and there is not so much food to feed these nearly 40,000 mouths.

Before this, because there was Zhou Fu first, and then Yuan Shikai, there was a steady stream of various military supplies to the Liaodong armies from both land and water, so the Liaodong armies fought in a mess, but the food and drink, as well as guns and bullets, were still enough.

The fall of Jinzhou, Yingkou, and Mukden completely cut off the military replenishment of the Qing army in Fengbei, and when the armies escaped from Mukden, they discarded a large amount of arms and ammunition.

At this time, the Tieling army only had 1,500 burst guns and 5,000 rifles, and the rest were guns, birds, and large blades.

What is more lacking than guns is bullets, because of the haste of escape, the millions of rifle bullets accumulated in the Mukden military arsenal for many years, as well as some gunpowder and lead bullets, were left to the Japanese army.

Now there are 13,000 soldiers in Tieling, with only more than 6,500 rifles and more than 50 thousand rounds of ammunition.

To the north of Mukden, which has always been a bitter cold place, the guns and ammunition of Heilongjiang and Jilin have long been exhausted when Yiketanga and Changshun reinforced Liaodong.

Now it's already a bullet and a rifle, and you can't take it out.

Because of the backing of Jilin, the matter of grain can be solved in the case of Changshun's 1700 Jilin training army specializing in transporting grain.

However, the matter of bullets has become a tight spell on the heads of the Fengbei army, and there is no way.

On January 1 of the Western calendar, the fourth day of the lunar month, after finding out the approximate strength of the Japanese army in Fengtian was only more than 1,000 people, all the armies of Tieling unanimously agreed to counterattack Fengtian.

Now the generals of Tieling and Jingshi have cut off the telecommunication, but it is conceivable that once the war is over, everyone will face a terrible end.

Going to prison to ask for crimes, raiding homes and beheadings, infamy, family suffering?

Especially the Shengjing general Yulu, as the highest military chief in Liaoning, Guangxu even gave him a clear decree before,—— if he loses Liaoyang, he will die.

Now that he has not only lost Liaoyang, but also lost Fengtian, the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, it is the lightest punishment to be able to die a dignified death.

If you want to make up for your mistakes, you can only recapture Mukden.

Then Liaoyang, Haicheng, Yingkou, Jinzhou -

Cut off the rear of the Japanese First Army.

On January 2, the soldiers of Tieling divided into two roads, pointing at Fengtian City.

The left route army was led by the town border army led by Yiketang'a, and the army was trained in Qizi Shengzi, with a total of more than 5,600 people, and went directly south from Tieling to attack the north gate of Fengtian.

The right army was led by Song Qing's Yi army, Zhang Gaoyuan's Songwu army, Geng Fengming's new Feng army, a total of more than 5,400 people, marched from the southeast of Tieling for 80 miles, on the surface of the Hun River, and then marched west along the river to attack the south gate of Fengtian.

On January 4, the Left Route Army came to Pujiabaozi at the foot of the post road at the foot of Hui Mountain, thirty miles north of Fengtian City, but was blocked by two Japanese infantry squadrons.

Facing this earthen fort built by the local squire, which was only fifty or sixty meters long and wide, and no more than six or seven meters high, there were only more than 400 Japanese troops stationed in it.

Iktanga's 5,000-strong army besieged the city in one fell swoop, and was full of confidence to annihilate all the 400 Japanese soldiers inside.

As a result, the battle lasted for three days, and although there was not a single Japanese soldier coming to reinforce in the direction of Mukden, the 5,000 troops on the left side launched more than ten large and small attacks, but still did not capture this small earthen fort.

Instead, more than 200 people were killed or wounded.

Yulu looked at the Pujiabao under the north mountain of Huishan Mountain, and looked at the Fengtian Beiling Mausoleum, which was visible in the clear sun fifteen miles to the south, and felt the bright light of the red walls and tiles there, which stimulated his eyes and couldn't open them.

Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty was buried there!

And those Japanese soldiers are entrenched there, showing off their might.

At this moment, Yulu's body was shaky, and he wanted to jump off Huishan and fall to his death.

"It's a pity that there are no cannons, otherwise a few cannons will go down, and this earthen fort will be bombarded!"

Zakhdambu, the commander of the town's border army, led three battalions of flag soldiers to attack in the past two days, and half of the soldiers who fell outside the fortress were his team, so he was angry now.

"Don't talk about cannons, even if there are explosives; With that thin copper door, a bag of explosives is all it takes! ”

The words in Wu Heng's mouth were actually secretly complaining about Yulu.

As General Sheng Jing, why don't you put part of the explosives, bullets in Tieling in advance, just in case.

It's good now, I'm poor and white, and I don't even dare to put guns indiscriminately!

The Shanhaiguan Defense Area is subordinate to Zhili and is directly managed by the Ministry of War, so even if the status of Wu Heng is far from that of Yulu, he is not afraid of him.

"Cannons and gunpowder were all thrown in Liaoyang, Fengtian, what are you doing now saying that these useless things are for?"

Iktanga encouraged the generals and said: "The main force of the Japanese went south to the mountains and seas, peeking into Zhili, there are only 1,000 troops in the Fengtian defense line, there are only two squadrons in Pujiabaozi, and there are probably two in Fushun, and they only have more than 500 people in Fengtian City, and there are no reinforcements at all; Sooner or later, this Pujia Fort will fall into our hands. ”

"Yes, the Japanese pointed at their little troops, and when they took Pujiabao, the hundreds of Japanese soldiers in Fengtian, each of us could drown them alive with a mouthful of foam."

Yulu also lifted his spirits.

"How many people do you have to fill in? Seeing them holding Mauser guns, guns, and bronze cannons on the wall, I hate! ”

Shoushan looked at the wall of Pujiabao below, and the muzzle of the cannon pointed at the seven or eight red-clothed small cannons of four or five hundred catties outside, and his teeth cracked in anger.

These would-be guns were fast-shot, and the bullets were splashed like silver, forming a dense rain of bullets on the small fortress.

On his side, he was only allowed to carry ten bullets per charge, and no more than one was allowed.

This battle is really embarrassing.

Huishan Mountain North, Pujiabaozi.

"Taniguchi-kun, what do you guess those clear pigs on the top of the mountain are talking about?"

Captain Tokujiro Nakajima, the leader of the 9th Squadron of the 2nd Brigade of the 19th Wing of the Japanese Army, and Captain Toyoichi Taniguchi, the leader of the 10th Squadron, stood in the courtyard of Tokutaro Nakajima, and they could see that the top of Kita-Ichiri was full of colorful flags.

"These stupid pigs, I'm afraid that others don't know that they are standing on the top of the mountain, if there are two mountain cannons, with grenades, it is their death time now!"

Nakajima Tokujiro said triumphantly: "These Qing pigs must be bitter on the top of the mountain, and they are afraid of the guns of the empire; This Pujiabao and Fushun Town, Komatsu Dazuo have stored a lot of grain, 500,000 rounds of ammunition, and enough gunpowder lead bullets, Qing Pig wants to break through here, it is tantamount to a dream! ”
