In the early morning of March 10, the blocking coalition army led by Changshun arrived at Ditai Village on the bank of the Hunhe River and began to cut down trees to establish defensive positions.

And Yi Ke Tang, Song Qing, this group of generals who were the main attackers, were in a mess in the camp near the imperial tomb.

The Beiyang Army, represented by Song Qing, proposed to divide troops to surround the surroundings of Fengtian, and use troops at night to blow up the eight city gates on all sides of Fengtian at the same time with explosives.

Then the 6,000 army entered the city in one fell swoop, and fought night street battles with the Japanese soldiers in the city, completely eliminating all the Japanese troops in the city.

The local training in the northeast, led by Yiktanga, proposed that the 6,000-strong army go all out to attack the Great North Gate and the Little North Gate in the north of Mukden.

And it was proposed to fight during the day.

First forcibly blew up the Great North Gate and the Little North Gate, and then the 6,000 army swarmed in, suppressing the Japanese army street by street, and completely driving them out of Fengtian City.

Song Qing yelled and shouted to Yi Ketang: "The 6,000 troops you mentioned have all rushed into the Great North Gate, the Little North Gate, if the Japanese army is blocked in the area of the city gate without retreating, and it will not be able to enter and exit at that time, it may be the end of the annihilation of the whole army!" Do you dare to take responsibility? ”

And Yi Ketang, who had long seen Song Qing's displeasure, also slapped the table angrily and shouted: "You said that you will fight at night? Are you all fierce soldiers who are not afraid of death? Once the resistance of the Japanese is fierce in the night battle, the army of the four cities and eight gates will be blown up when they say that they will be blown up, and you can take this responsibility! ”

The two generals disagreed, and neither was convinced by the other's anger.

So this battle couldn't be fought at all for a while, and the 6,000 army had to stay in the defensive position to bask in the sun, stupidly waiting.

And at this time, the commander of the Japanese army's Mukden City Defense Komatsuzaki Rikuma Osa, the 19th Wing 2nd Captain Ohara Yoshijiro Shaosa, and the 21st Wing 2nd Captain Keizo Yamaguchi Shosa.

He was standing on the north wall of Fengtian City, looking at the Qing army in the north around the Great Qing Emperor's Mausoleum.

Behind them, at the big north gate, the small north gate, was densely packed with 1,600 Japanese soldiers.

At this time, in addition to guarding the remaining 6 city gates, military depots, barracks, and nearly 100 Japanese troops at the headquarters, all the Japanese troops in Mukden City were concentrated here.

Wait for the attack.

"What a bunch of pigs!"

Komatsuzaki Rikuma scolded with disdain in his eyes, and then ordered: "I will lead the team to attack from the front, Ohara from the left flank, and Yamaguchi from the right flank; This time, we must sacrifice at all costs to completely annihilate these ghostly idiots! Tell the soldiers to pursue, pursue, and pursue again until there is not a single Qing army ahead! ”

"Hey!"

Yoshijiro Ohara and Keizo Yamaguchi both responded in unison.

At 11 o'clock in the morning of the same day, just as Song Qing and Iketanga were about to unify their opinions in the midst of a quarrel, a large number of Japanese troops suddenly appeared on the east, south, and west sides of the Qing army's position.

And all the muzzles of Japanese rifles were actually bayonets!

The purpose was obviously to quickly rush into the position of the Qing army and engage in a white-knuckle battle with the Qing army through a sudden attack.

"Waiyi! Waiyi! ”

"Shoot, shoot! Kill them! ”

"Don't let them rush in, stop them!"

The Qing soldiers who were sitting and lying down boredly on the battlefield were bragging and basking in the sun, all yelling and screaming.

At the same time, they all stood up and raised their guns to shoot.

"Yaga! Don't dodge, charge, charge! ”

"Impact, impact!"

And Komatsuzaki Rikuma, Yoshijiro Ohara, and Keizo Yamaguchi all shouted and ordered the troops to violently break through the Qing army's position in front.

The battle erupted fiercely.

Although the Qing army also began to shoot at the Japanese army with all their strength after the initial panic, the Japanese army braved the rain of bullets and desperately charged towards the Qing army's position.

In this round of attack, the Japanese army finally plunged into the position of the Qing army from three directions after paying about the lives of about 200 soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers then spontaneously combined in pairs and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army.

"Bang, bang—"

"Kill!"

"Yaga!"

"Ahh

For a time, the entire Qing army's position was in chaos, and all the Qing troops were fighting on their own like headless flies.

Ten minutes later, the Qing troops on the periphery of the position began to flee in groups.

The Japanese army did not care about these fleeing Qing soldiers at all, but concentrated on strangling the Qing soldiers who were still raising their guns and shooting.

Seeing this scene, a large number of Qing troops immediately began to flee in the same way.

Fifteen minutes later, except for nearly 300 Qing soldiers who fought to the death, the rest were crying and shouting for their mothers.

Twenty minutes later, the 300 warriors on the position were killed by more than 1,200 Japanese soldiers.

Komatsuzaki Rikuma then ordered the Japanese troops who left half a squad to 'clean up' the battlefield, while the rest of the army began to pursue the Qing army that had fled earlier.

"Ahh

"Dog, Lao Tzu is your eighth-generation ancestor!"

Twenty-five minutes later, the position was cleaned up by these 30 Japanese soldiers, and there were about 900 corpses of Qing soldiers and nearly 400 corpses of Japanese soldiers, covering the entire position.

That is to say, in addition to the about 200 Japanese soldiers who died in the previous assault position, in the bayonet battle, roughly 200 Japanese troops were killed by the Qing army.

Of the 900 Qing troops who fought to the death, 300 Qing troops were strangled by a large number of Japanese troops, and only 600 Qing troops were killed in the previous battle.

The battle loss ratio between the Qing and Japanese sides was three to one.

In fact, if the Qing army had the courage, even if it was this kind of surprise white-knuckle battle, as long as the Qing army did not flee or retreat, it would still be able to annihilate all the Japanese troops in an upright and upright manner.

Unfortunately, this is just an if!

On the morning of the same day, the Japanese army pursued all the way north, killing countless Qing troops along the way, and pursued until the vicinity of Pujiabaozi before stopping.

From the position of the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum to Pujiabaozi, more than 3,000 Qing troops were killed by the Japanese army.

The rest of the Qing army was completely frightened, except for nearly 1,500 people who finally returned to Tieling, the rest of the Qing army was nowhere to be found.

And the blocking coalition army, which was notified by Song Qing, was shocked to hear the news, and hurriedly retreated.

The 4,000 army did not dare to take the Pujiabaozi route again, so they had to go up the Hunhe River, wanting to bypass Fushun City and return to Tieling.

At noon that day, the team arrived at the river outside Fushun City, only to find that the 500 Japanese troops in the city actually poured out of the city and built a defensive line in the river to try to block it.

Fierce fighting began again.

However, in the face of the two Maxim machine guns of the Japanese army, the Qing shock soldiers fell on the way to the charge and were forced to retreat.

At noon that day, the Qing army made a total of three charges, the second and third of which were all rushing to the Japanese position.

However, the Japanese machine gunners, who had already killed the red-eyed, actually shot together with the Japanese army, and repelled the Qing army twice.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, reinforcements from the Japanese army in Mukden arrived, and the Qing army, which was attacked by the enemy, was immediately blown up.

In the end, the blocking coalition forces that successfully returned to Tieling were only nearly 1,000 people.

At this point, the Qing army in Fengbei was completely frightened and defeated.

Lian Shun, the general of Jilin, felt that his troops were weak and demanded that he withdraw north to Siping, where he would be recruited and fight again.

Song Qing resolutely disagreed.

The two sides then divided their forces.

Lian Shun led the northeast to train troops and retreated to Siping, 400 miles north of Fengtian.

Song Qing led more than 1,200 remnants of the Beiyang army, preparing to bypass the Fengtian and Liaoyang lines, and take Xinliu, Montenegro, and Beizhen,——

It is necessary to trek thousands of miles of primeval mountains and forests in western Liaoning with both legs and return to Zhili.

"Brothers, let's go home!"

When Song Qing shouted these words, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, and the white-haired old general suddenly burst into tears.

"Go home! Go home! ”

"Let's go home, let's go home!"

For Song Qing's decision, all the soldiers were full of tears, and they even howled and yelled desperately.

Although all the soldiers knew that the road ahead was dangerous, they did not know if they would be able to walk back to their hometowns.

However, the obsession with returning home can make them overcome all fears and become truly fearless warriors.

Whether it is the Qing Dynasty or China, in fact, the Chinese nation has always had no shortage of warriors who dared to die, but the Qing Dynasty spent 250 years deliberately extracting their backbones.

When there is no backbone, on the one hand, let the people of the Qing Dynasty be pigs, dogs, cows, horses and sheep for the rulers, but on the other hand, they shamelessly want them to fight for the Qing Dynasty and have the courage to die.

Where in the world could there be more absurd and unruly than this?
