Chapter 593: The Great Wall at the Nine Gates Four

"This place can't stay long; Groove, these grandchildren are really not stupid! ”

Luo Minglei stood up angrily: "So much food, as well as bullets, must be transported away immediately." ”

"As the so-called general is outside,β€”β€” I propose a fight."

Shi Weicheng looked at Luo Minglei and said: "Slowly lead this Japanese army to the north and eat them little by little!" ”

"Hahaβ€”β€”, Lao Shi, don't you have a small appetite? Done! ”

Luo Minglei and Huang Bojie glanced at each other, both saw the battle intent in each other's eyes, and said loudly: "Tell me about your plan." ”

The Great Wall at the Nine Gates.

The moon is shallow and the stars are sparse.

Ren Weiyuan, the deputy squad leader of the second squad of the reconnaissance platoon, led the two scouts to the water city at the nine gates, the sky was already dark, and he drove far away to the city tower with a big red lantern hanging on it.

"What people!"

After the 'Reinhard Incident' at the Nine Gates a few days ago, the guards on the city tower suddenly became stern.

Ren Weiyuan and the three of them were still one or two hundred meters away from the city wall, and the Qing army of the city tower who heard the sound vigilantly pulled the bolt of their guns and yelled towards the city.

"I am a member of the independent battalion of the Anti-Japanese Army, and I have an urgent military situation to report to Mei Junmen; The Japanese army was on the Jiujiang River and was going to attack the nine gates. ”

With Ren Weiyuan's breathless yell, there was an uproar on the Great Wall at the Nine Gates.

That night, Mei Dongyi, who got the shocking news, turned pale with horror at that time, pointing at him how the two thousand recruits with bird commanders and guns could withstand the Japanese army?

Mei Dongyi trembled, drank half a pot of hot wine in one go, and his heart could barely calm down.

While yelling at the hurry to reorganize the troops, ordering all units to enter the position to strictly defend to the death, he sent fast horses south to Shimen Village, and made a detour to Shanhaiguan to ask for troops urgently.

On the south bank of the Jiujiang River, on the mountainside of Biyun Mountain.

Biyun Temple is built near the river, almost 90 degrees under the slope of more than 60 meters, is the semi-surrounded Jiujiang River.

Originally, the temple incense was still at its peak, but a few years ago, there was a Jindan rebellion, and most of the temple was burned by a fire, and it has become a ruin infested by wild foxes, snakes and rabbits.

"Wooβ€”β€”, Woo-"

The wind blows through the mountains and forests, like the howl of night owls, and the smell makes people's hearts tremble.

Jiang Yitong, the leader of the demolition team of the independent battalion, and his two subordinates, Jia Hongping and Peng Chuntian, were lying in a natural shallow soil pit on the mountainside.

The bottom of the pit was filled with dead leaves, and the three of them were also covered with a thick layer, and the new cotton was made of military jackets, but the mountain wind that passed through the forest still made the three of them shiver.

"Team leader, the place you chose is really evil!"

Jia Hongping, the soldier who was crowded to the left of Jiang Yitong, trembled his lips and complained: "This cliff is simply a wind outlet, they are all hiding in the pit, covered with leaves, and this wind also hurts like scraping flesh with a knife!" ”

"This place is steep and difficult to climb; Other places are sheltered from the wind, but the Japanese army came to search, let alone bomb them, just wait to be shot! ”

Jiang Yitong was also shivering from the cold: "Squeeze it again, just hissβ€”β€”, and it will be warm." ”

"The water of Jiujiang River is shallow in winter, it is the water city at the entrance of Jiumen, and the depth of the water under the ice is only one meter and two three, and they can't drown them, at most they are half frozen to death; The water depth under the ice is basically more than two meters, which is too short, less than two hundred meters long! ”

Peng Chuntian, who was born in the local mountain people, smashed his mouth and said with a smile: "Sleeping in a dirt pit, covered with thick leaves, and wearing a new cotton jacket, this is also called cold?" We often have people here who are frozen, and they can only be saved by wiping their bodies with snow, and that's called cold! It's not to blow up the Japanese army, I'm going to show you a peck ice winter swim to catch river fish right now. ”

"Sleep, squeeze inβ€”"

Jiang Yitong shuddered and said, "I hope Ming'er can blow up more dogs!" ”

February 3 of the Western calendar, the seventh day of the first lunar month.

At four o'clock in the morning, the Japanese troops began to assemble, and then advanced towards the Great Wall at the Nine Gates.

At five o'clock in the morning, Ren Weiyuan arrived at the South Wing City with two subordinates and a few Lu Yong messengers.

Ren Weiyuan continued to go north out of the customs, while several Lu Yong hurriedly entered the southern wing city and reported to Liu Kun for urgent troops.

Almost at the same time, the 19th Wing and the 5th Cavalry Brigade of Kuriiwara Tsuneyo.

In addition to leaving three infantry squadrons and a cavalry squad, led by the 3rd Brigade Captain Lin Taiichiro Shaozuo, to block the two estuaries of the Jiujiang River.

The rest of the troops went north along the northern tributary of the Jiujiang River, and at the same time released a large number of cavalry and scouts to search for traces of the independent battalion of the anti-Japanese army.

At 5:30 in the morning, Liu Kunyi, who was woken up by his staff member Yi Shunding, was so shocked that he fell asleep before he could get angry.

When the generals discussed the layout of the Shanhaiguan defense line before, it was not that the generals mentioned the shortcomings of the Nine Gates.

Just thinking that the Japanese army's Yamaguchi Suchen Department had not appeared there, it was estimated that the Japanese army did not know about this side gate for entering the pass in winter.

Where did I think that only yesterday did Tongzhou send a telegram, repeatedly telling us not to easily 'provoke and fight' and affect the overall situation of the peace talks, and the Japanese side began to attack on the flanks.

Liu Kunyi hurriedly ordered to convene the generals of Shanhaiguan to discuss the matter, and at the same time ordered Wang Liansan, who was stationed in Jiaoshan, to immediately send two battalions of Lu troops stationed in Changshou Mountain and Wanshou Mountain to reinforce north along the Great Wall.

At 5:40 in the morning, the Biyun Temple section of the Jiujiang River.

At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, and nearly 3,000 Japanese troops lined up in double formations and strode on the frozen river.

The nearly 400 Japanese troops were distributed in the mountains on both sides of the river as warning posts, searching and advancing.

"Yo Xi, in the future, when the war in the empire subsides, we must rebuild this Biyun Temple and worship the great god of sunshine of the empire!"

The 12th Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the 12th Infantry Wing, which was responsible for the guard on the south bank of the Jiujiang River, and the squadron leader, Takeshi Asano, and a dozen Japanese troops climbed the steep Biyun Mountain.

Looking at the advancing imperial army at the foot of the mountain, as well as the rising sun that had just risen in the east, Asano Takeshi couldn't help but be full of spirits and pride.

"These pigs don't know where to hide? Yaga! After catching this group of pigs, I will cut off their heads one by one to pay tribute to the warriors of my 11th squadron! ”

Lieutenant Shigeichi Hata, who was assigned to the 12th Squadron of the Japanese Army, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Especially their commander He Changying, and that damn Green gunner!" ”

In the battle of Nyotou Island in Pyongyang, the 11th Squadron of the Japanese Army was first killed and wounded by Liu Mingyang's Green artillery, and even the squadron leader, Captain Kenkichi Hirata, was also shot and killed.

Immediately afterwards, the bridge was accidentally blown up by Shibata Masataka's artillery, and the entire squadron was almost completely killed, except for Second Lieutenant Shigeichi Habata and more than 40 soldiers, who fled back to the shore from the river.

"What's the dog up there, what's it calling, so powerful?"

Jiang Yitong and the three of them, who were hiding twenty meters below the cliff wall of Biyun Mountain, all quietly exchanged glances with each other, and they all saw the disappointment in each other's eyes.

The Japanese army actually marched in two teams, so no matter how well they were bombed, the damage to them was extremely limited.

What a shame!

Thanks to the previous effort, he pecked at the ice from both sides of the river, pulled wires, and put explosives.

"Drum rumbleβ€”"

At this time, Japanese artillerymen, pulled by mules and five gun wagons, appeared in the river below.

Jiang Yitong hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth, and slammed the knife of the electric box in his hand.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, on the river bay below Biyun Mountain, there was a huge explosion.

The ice layer on the entire river surface was blown up and flew high, and countless flying ice foam completely enveloped the river channel below that was nearly 200 meters long and more than 40 meters wide.
