In these trivialities, Yu Lei entered Beiping first, arrested a large number of gangsters and bandits who took advantage of the fire to rob, and restored order in Beiping, which was almost out of control, in just two hours, and then used thunderous means to suppress the bullies and those notorious widows and children, and did not follow the Japanese army to evacuate, and the traitors and pro-Japanese elements who were lucky, so that Beiping was restored to peace.

At the same time, the collection trucks and horse-drawn carriages from the surrounding countryside, although they were not very numerous, were mostly taken away by the Japanese.

Yu Lei was stable here, bought cotton clothes and pants, and waited for Zhang Zizhong's arrival, Qu Jungang also recovered Tangshan, and advanced to Shanhaiguan, and then, the troops waited for the long-range artillery behind to be in place, and in just two hours, they launched an attack on Shanhaiguan.

The Japanese army set up heavy positions in front of and behind Shanhaiguan and prepared for defense a few days in advance.

Qu Jun had just waited for the coordinates of the forward scouts to return and ordered an attack.

With his order, the long-range artillery roared, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the projectiles flew to the outer defensive positions more than ten kilometers away from Shanhaiguan, and then, the self-propelled artillery chased the shells and advanced towards Shanhaiguan.

The truck, also following closely behind, quickly rushed forward, striving to take Shanhaiguan in two hours, and spent half a day resisting the counterattack of the Japanese army and driving the Japanese army out of Shanhaiguan.

The Japanese army had already expected that Shanhaiguan would not be easy to defend, and the Shanhaiguan was open and the artillery of the advance army had enough space to be placed, but they were not willing to just throw away Shanhaiguan and enter the second line of defense that was narrow and easy to defend.

The fierce artillery bombardment, followed by the troops in an hour, took Xiguan Village, Dongguan Village, and Mengzhuang Nanyingzi, the majestic Shanhaiguan was only a few kilometers away, and had reached the Dongmen Wengcheng.

But Qu Jungang didn't expect it. The determination of the Japanese army to defend was so resolute, and the defense of Shanhaiguan was so strong, because of scruples, they did not dare to bombard Shanhaiguan to avoid the destruction of Shanhaiguan, so that the captain reprimanded, Qu Jungang looked at the fire spewed from the muzzle of the city wall in front of him and was very helpless.

The small town of Shanhaiguan, which has a circumference of four kilometers, made Qu Jungang feel powerless. He wasn't worried about the perimeter defense. But the city pass, without artillery bombardment, the defense above is really sharp.

"Damn!"

Qu Jun just put down the binoculars in the distance, cursed, and ordered: "Order, stop the attack, snipe into the firing range, and snipe all the targets in the city!" The three regiments and the four regiments made a detour left and right, climbing the Great Wall from the mountains to attack Shanhaiguan! ”

With Qu Jungang's order. The heavy snipers were in place, and thousands of heavy snipers were in the hiding place, and then, the thumping fire kept flashing.

The Japanese troops in the city hid very tightly, but in front of the sniper scope, which is second only to later generations and more than ten years ahead of today, their dodge can only be a child's trick.

Touch!

A rotten skull exploded like a watermelon.

Burst!

One thigh in a Japanese soldier feeling a wooden situation. Carried away by a heavy sniper with a huge bullet, followed. The crooked body was torn apart by the incoming bullets and exploded like a balloon.

The Japanese army, when the advance army stopped shelling and attacked less than a kilometer to Shanhaiguan, stopped moving forward, and seemed to see that the other side had no intention of bombarding Shanhaiguan. He then ordered all artillery positions in the rear to stand by, and in the case of the enemy not firing artillery, not to expose the firepower, and to inflict heavy losses on the enemy at the most critical moment.

The 60 guns on the city walls were not among them. At the moment when the heavy sniper sounded, hundreds of mortar shells flew within a kilometer of the front.

The fighters had already looked for a hiding place, and the mortar shelling did not cause much damage to the fighters who rushed to the front, while the heavy sniper was 1,500 meters away, far exceeding the expectations of the Japanese army.

The moment the heavy sniper appeared in the opponent's mortar, he immediately locked on to the target, and in the thumping gunshot, pieces of bullets flew to the target, and the Japanese troops on the city tower and the city wall were shattered one after another in this accurate sniping, blood, and splashed everywhere, and pieces of dark red.

The mortar gunner couldn't even pick up the shells in the accurate sniping, and no one could get close to the mortar, and in just a few minutes, the fire on the city wall was controlled, and then, the fighters who were about a thousand meters stealth advanced in a low bow, and leaned forward with various covers.

The self-propelled artillery was ready for a surprise attack, that is, it was ready to force a breakthrough and storm into the city.

The Japanese soldiers did not dare to show their heads in the accurate shooting, and even if the body was not well hidden, they would be hit by bullets flying from nowhere. The city wall is a death zone.

But the other side's artillery bombardment was delayed, and the artillery in the city could not bombard about a kilometer, so he could only watch the Japanese troops on the city wall being carried away in waves, and entering the position again in waves. In just half an hour, more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers died on the city wall, but they were never able to see the shadow of the other side.

"Yaga!!"

The huge loss made Lieutenant General Matsuda furious, but there was nothing he could do. Although the empire's sniper rifles have been produced, it takes time to train snipers, and the effective range of the scope is only 550 meters, and 600 meters is the limit, which is far from forming combat effectiveness.

Qu Jun was not in a hurry at this time, he could completely attack Shanhaiguan by shelling the front of the city and attacking Shanhaiguan by trucks, believing that the self-propelled artillery Kaipu, trucks followed up, and Shanhaiguan would be the same as other city defenses, and it would be difficult to resist.

But he didn't want to bring too much damage to the already mature troops, most of these soldiers were old soldiers, and the battle damage was raised, and he was distressed. Besides, the attack on Shanhaiguan was not to break through, but to take it down and give it to Zhang Zizhong.

Zhang Zizhong immediately reported to Lao Jiang at the moment when he knew that the advance army of Ludao was going to enter Mongolia and handed over the defense of Beiping, Langfang, Tangshan, Shanhaiguan and other places to him, so that Lao Jiang was overjoyed, and the departure of the advance army would be much less pressure on him, and there was not much pressure on him to control Shanhaiguan and exterminate the Japanese army in Shanxi and Shandong, especially in Shanxi, without supplies, he would take it easily.

And Zhang Zizhong just called back and said that Shanhaiguan City was high and heavily defended, and it was not easy to attack. In order to leave Zhang Zizhong's energy to attack Shanxi, Dong Ku directly recaptured Shanhaiguan and let Zhang Zizhong garrison. Defending Shanhaiguan, it was not easy for the Japanese army to attack it, as long as Qinhuangdao was controlled, the Japanese warships could not support it. But with a land attack, the national army, which is not badly equipped now, can easily block it.

Qu Jun just had Dong Ku's order not to damage the first pass and try to ensure the integrity of the ancient city, plus he was unwilling to increase casualties, so the speed of the attack was not fast. It can be said that it is a steady and steady progress.

But even so, the damage of the Japanese army was rising sharply, but there was no way to deal with this invisible sniping.

They all knew that if the artillery bombardment exposed the firepower point, it would not be able to stop the advance army from bombardment, and the position would be destroyed. Artillery, not on the same level.

With the help of various covers, the soldiers were already less than 500 meters close to the Shanhai Pass, and they were all hidden, and the target was not exposed.

They are waiting. Wait for the two regiments on both sides to enter the offensive position, wait for the self-propelled artillery to start attacking the city, and take Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop.

The silent sniping made the Japanese soldiers in the city sluggish, and they were tormented in the silence by the panic bank, and in an hour of panic, most people's hearts were on the verge of collapse. The enemy has not yet attacked, and they do not know how long they will hide like this.

At the moment when this mood began to spread, Qu Jun had just received two regiments and successfully climbed the Great Wall. Began to report in a roundabout way, and then ordered: "Launch a general attack!" ”

With his command. Hidden in the woods, the self-propelled artillery behind the houses rumbled, and a self-propelled artillery was followed by a squad, slowly approaching Shanhaiguan in the black smoke.

"The enemy is attacking!!"

The Japanese finally saw the enemy, and their hands trembled with nervousness and fear. The moment they saw the enemy's figure, they all lay down in the firing position, ready to release their fears.

But at the moment when they entered the firing position one after another, the exposed heads and exposed bodies attracted life-threatening bullets. In the dense fire, the city wall was empty, and in just a few seconds, thousands of Japanese soldiers lost their lives.

The soldiers who had already locked the shooting holes and battlements pulled the trigger one after another the moment they saw the figure of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army died silently when they were caught off guard.

The sudden and dense shooting made the Japanese follow-up troops have no time to climb the wall, and there are dense gunfire from the side. Two regiments on both sides broke out on the offensive at this moment, firing at the Japanese troops on the flanks.

At the moment when the Japanese army was suddenly attacked on the flank, they quickly organized their forces to intercept it. But the large army on the head, they are undoubtedly opposed.

Commander Tatsuo Matsuda saw that he could not resist, so he ordered all artillery to open fire and bombard the approaching target.

The 100 82 infantry guns, which had already been hiding at the root of the city, roared at this moment, and the shells fell almost vertically within five or six hundred meters outside the city.

In the loud roar, the earth just soared into the sky, and the smoke of gunpowder flickered in the firelight, reaching into the sky.

The density of the shells caused a lot of damage to the fighters hiding behind the self-propelled guns, and countless fighters were hit by shrapnel. The hidden fighters were also damaged, but this did not stop the advance of the self-propelled artillery.

As the self-propelled artillery got closer and closer, the Japanese troops on the city wall could no longer bear the pressure, and in the smoke of gunpowder, they rose up one after another, raising their guns to shoot the figures behind.

But they had just emerged, and they were still like that, in the dense rain of bullets, they fell down one after another, and they couldn't get close to the firing position at all.

"Knock out those cannons!!"

The Japanese shouted frantically.

But the self-propelled artillery has no offensive ability, and the defense is comparable to the tiger and leopard type created by Lao Xi, and how can the small-caliber 92 infantry gun be shaken?

With the approach of the self-propelled artillery, the soldiers who followed the tank raised their guns and aimed at the city gate hole and the city wall, the muzzle of the self-propelled artillery was also aimed at the city gate hole of the bunker, and at the moment when the grenade flew out, two self-propelled guns that were worth a thousand gold were quickly put down and supported by the soldiers behind, and then reloaded and fired.

With two loud bangs, two cannonballs whistled through the city gate hole and exploded more than 200 meters away from the city wall.

Spear grenades flew into the gate and city walls at the same time, and in the flickering firelight, steel balls covered all space.

At the same time, the truck in the distance in the smoke of the city gate, against the falling shells, increased the throttle, and rushed forward quickly in the smoke, thousands of meters, only a minute or two, at the cost of destroying more than a dozen vehicles, at the moment when the soldiers blocked the city gate with guns and grenades, blocked the city, followed by the self-propelled artillery, rushed into the city gate.

More than a dozen anti-tank guns directly opposite the city gate were completely destroyed by the bombardment of two 200-caliber shells, and the self-propelled guns roared under the rain of bullets and grenades that continued to explode. rushed into the city, and then, according to the established plan, quickly rushed to the opposite side, diverting left and right at the same time, so that the follow-up trucks could follow.

As soon as the truck dodged the range of the enemy's artillery bombardment. Immediately, in the sound of a tom, a dense rain of bullets swept towards the bunker that intercepted the self-propelled artillery, and in the sand and gravel splash, those bunkers built of stones could not withstand the intensive penetration of anti-aircraft machine guns, and in just a few breaths, they were hit and collapsed, and the stones turned into stones one after another. Flying all over the sky......

The soldiers opened the way with grenades at gunpoint, rushed to the city without hesitation, and rushed into the city like a tide along the passage above the wall, and in just a few seconds, they rushed to the city wall, and then a tragic melee broke out.

Warriors. The moment the soldiers raised their bayonets, the broadswords were drawn one after another. The killing group of three or three rushed into the few Japanese soldiers.

Trucks, at the moment of entering the city gates, quickly followed the self-propelled artillery divergence, and at the same time, the main road trucks pulled into truckloads of soldiers. Rush straight to the opposite gate. At the moment of panic of the Japanese army, the two regiments on both wings flew a grenade and smashed into the city, attacking Weiyuan Hall and Muying Tower.

Japanese troops, at the moment when the advance army rushed into the city. Crowds of people surged to try to block the pace of the attack in the street fighting. But the Japanese soldiers holding the explosives did not have a chance to get close to the self-propelled artillery, so they were beaten into a sieve by the trucks behind and broken into pieces.

How can the powerful fire of anti-aircraft machine guns be blocked by the human body? Between the forts, the Japanese troops in the bunkers could not stop the fierce fire at all. The front wheels of the trucks were blown out, but it did not affect the machine-gun fire on the vehicles, nor did it delay the trucks from dragging Mars, grinding deep trenches on the stone road, scrapping the crockpots, and not stopping to move forward.

The crowd, the Japanese army on the city wall was powerless to stop it, and immediately jumped out of the hidden place, ran wildly, and launched a charge towards Shanhaiguan at a distance of several hundred meters.

"Attack on all fronts!!"

At the moment when the city gate was captured, Qu Jun just yelled, and at the same time as giving the order, he rushed to Shanhaiguan with a platoon of guards.

The area in the city is limited, and the Japanese army does not have tens of thousands of people in the city, but there is also a division of troops, and when the Qu army just rushed into the city, they were all desperate, and all kinds of means were used together, and they fought hard with the advance army.

But the resistance of the Japanese army could not stop the killing of the advance army at all, and in the sound of the submachine guns, the Japanese soldiers fell like wheat.

The two regiments attacking Weiyuantang and Muyinglou on both flanks also rushed into the city tower in the rain of bullets, and then occupied, the muzzle of the gun, immediately turned around, and at the same time changed the automatic, the dense bullets exhausted the stubborn Japanese crowd.

When the Japanese troops outside the gate were fighting fiercely here, they poured in along the city gate, howling, and joining the strangulation.

They had just rushed into the city less than 100 meters when the oncoming anti-aircraft machine guns blocked their progress.

The blood mist immediately flew, and the Japanese soldiers were torn apart by huge bullets, and the blood flowed into the street in a short moment.

The two trucks were side by side, and the anti-aircraft machine guns spewed out flames more than a foot long, and in the middle of the dividing bar, they swept away the Japanese troops at the city gate, and the trucks immediately pressed the ground with minced meat, roared, and pounced on the city gate.

As the truck approached, a grenade flew out, and immediately, the figures jumped off the truck one after another, rushing to the city gate like a rolling torrent.

"Kill!!"

Amid the roar of the submachine guns, a tsunami of shouts of killing sounded from the soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers in the city were holding 38 rifles, and most of them only had time to fire a single shot, and they were beaten into a sieve by the bullets like a rainstorm, and in just a few seconds, the city gate changed hands.

When the Qu army first rushed into Chenglai, the battle in the city was already one-sided. He carried a blood-dripping broadsword and a shell gun, rushed all the way to kill, and at the moment when all the commanding heights were occupied, he rushed to the opposite tower.

"Strangle the remnants of the enemy, artillery bombardment ahead!!"

He saw the Japanese troops who were still attacking, and immediately gave the order.

At about the same time as his order, the Japanese artillery bombardment order was issued.

The artillery positions in the city were useless, but outside the city, the gun ports were not facing the front, but in the city.

With the order, the artillery fire of both sides erupted almost simultaneously.

"!! Dare to play yin!! ”

Qu Jun just heard the sound of shells flying, and immediately judged that this was an artillery bombardment of the city, and while scolding, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Dodge the shelling!" Kill the artillery positions outside the gate and fight for thirty miles!! ”

In the midst of his shouts and the dodging of the fighters, the shells fell with a bang.

In the city, there were at least one or two thousand Japanese troops at this time, and the other party actually bombarded Shanhaiguan without any scruples.

Hundreds of artillery pieces fired in unison, shells whistled down on the streets, and in the loud noise, the houses collapsed, the street stone slabs were lifted, and a puff of gravel and earth rose into the sky, and the small Shanhaiguan was immediately extremely dark.

The Japanese troops, who did not dodge in the violent explosion, howled and rushed to the soldiers of the advance army who were dodging, allowing the explosion to sound not far away.

"!"

A soldier pounced forward, and at the same time that his comrades were blown away, he knocked down the wall, and then in the dust and rubble, he saw the Japanese soldier with a bayonet and covered in blood rushing forward, cursed, lay there, and shot a long point, killing the guy.

The Japanese troops in the city were like crazy, and in the explosion, they rushed to kill, but they pulled a few cushions. Therefore, the soldiers held their guns one after another, dodging the shelling, and did not dare to relax at all.

The long-range artillery that had moved forward and the self-propelled artillery in the city raised their muzzles one after another, and the self-propelled artillery roared, shooting cannonballs through the city walls. However, due to the elevation angle, they could only shoot to a position of five or six kilometers, and it was difficult for them to reach the Japanese artillery positions, and they only bombed the dense Japanese troops along the way.

In the pass, the long-range artillery has been supported on the spot under Qu Jungang's order, and then the coordinates of the Japanese artillery bombardment reported from the city gate tower.

With the coordinates in place, the loud roar, a projectile through the smoke of gunpowder, through the rain of rubble, flew towards the Japanese artillery position, and then, after a loud bang, followed by a more violent explosion, Shanhaiguan was shaken.

In the distance, a mushroom cloud rolled and rose into the air, and with the rise of the mushroom cloud, the barrel and the bracket twisted and flew out in all directions.

"Grass mud horse! Truck give me a raid for thirty miles!! ”

Qu Jun roared at the moment when a mushroom cloud rose in the distance opposite. (To be continued......)
