However, after receiving the rescue of the Russian army in Dongbianmen, Major Kirilyenko did not hesitate and immediately ordered troops to be sent to reinforce Dongbianmen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This is because the Russian army in Dongbianmen is his friendly army, of course, he can't help it, but more importantly, although Major Kirilenko is at a loss at this time, he also knows that he must not be idle like this, and he should always find something to do, but Major Kirilenko really does not know what he should do at this time.

And now the friendly troops came to his rescue, and finally let Major Kirilenko find what he thought he should do, so Major Kirilenko immediately made a decision, but whether he could send troops to rescue the friendly troops, or even whether he should send troops, Major Kirilenko did not think about it, or he and Ben did not want to think about it.

There is a distance of about 1.2 kilometers from Guangqu Gate to Dongbianmen, and this road is not too far, but Major Kirilenko wants to send troops from Guangqumen to reinforce Dongbianmen, and it is not just a matter of walking, it always takes a certain amount of preparation time, and it is necessary to leave a certain number of troops to guard Guangqumen, so it took more than half an hour before and after, and when Kirilenko led the Russian army to set off from Guangqumen, the People's Army had already occupied Dongbianmen.

After the start of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the command released a drone to monitor the entire battlefield in the air, so after the Russian army moved and attacked, it was immediately monitored by the drone, so the command immediately notified Liu Shunchang, the commander of the fifth regiment.

After learning the news that the Russian army from Guangqumen rushed to reinforce the news, Liu Shunchang couldn't help but be very happy, because although the People's Army could attack Guangqumen from the city wall, first, the width of the city wall was limited, and the strength of the People's Army was difficult to deploy, and secondly, the Russian army still occupied the tower of Guangqumen, so it still had a certain geographical advantage, if Guangqumen was stormed, it would inevitably cause certain casualties, and the enemy's initiative to attack was naturally better, so that not only the enemy lost the geographical advantage, but also the People's Army could also set up a good position in advance to meet the Russian army。

So Liu Shunchang immediately started the arrangement, and the first battalion immediately set up positions on the road from Guangqumen to Dongbianmen, preparing to snipe the Russian army. Of course, while facing the Russian army, Dongbianmen could not be unguarded, Liu Shunchang sent three battalions and a company to guard the city tower of Dongbianmen, and also sent them a machine gun platoon, with three Makqin machine guns, it was more than enough to hold the city tower. The other two companies of the 3rd Battalion were used as mobile forces and were put into battle depending on the development of the situation.

There is also the second battalion of the second regiment assigned to the command of the fifth regiment, in the battle of attacking Dongbianmen, was sent to attack from outside the city by detour, but because the battle to capture Dongbianmen was not long, so it did not catch up with the battle, and the task of this unit is still to detour from outside the city, but this time it is to take advantage of the weakness to attack Guangqumen, it turns out that Liu Shunchang intends to snipe at the Russian army at the same time, but also end the battle of attacking Guangqumen.

After the combat tasks of the various units were assigned, the soldiers of the first battalion immediately arranged the defensive line in the area around Dongbianmen, although it was impossible to build perfect fortified bunkers in the process of creation, but the soldiers still used houses, buildings, trees, etc. as bunkers in accordance with what they learned in peacetime training, and arranged their positions, but the placement points of machine guns and rapid-fire guns had not yet been found. Unlike ordinary soldiers, rapid-fire guns can only find half a wall of earth or a large tree, not only should the terrain be hidden, but also preferably a certain height, and help other soldiers protect the machine gunner.

And at this time, the Russian army has arrived, after all, it is only 1.2 kilometers from Dongbianmen to Guangqumen, and it will not take long. Of course, the first to rush to Dongbianmen was the Russian army from the city wall.

This time to reinforce Dongbianmen, Major Kirilenko dispatched a total of nearly 700 Russian troops, and only left more than 100 Russian guards in Guangqumen, because the distance between Dongbianmen and Guangqumen is very close, once Guangqumen is attacked, it can be withdrawn immediately, so it is better to bring more troops and retreat the enemy as soon as possible, even if you can't keep Dongbianmen, you can also take the defenders of Dongbianmen to withdraw to Guangqumen. Moreover, Major Kirilenko divided the Russian army into two groups and ordered a company of about 150 people to rush from the city wall to the Dongbian Gate, while he himself led the other soldiers to rush from the streets below the city.

If it were under normal circumstances, Major Kirilenko's idea would naturally be correct, but it is not a normal situation now, but in the current situation, Major Kirilenko is unlikely to make any other better choice.

The first to arrive at the Dongbian Gate was the Russian army marching along the city wall, but at this time the People's Army guarding the city gate had already set up a defense on the city tower, and the three Makqin machine guns had already been arranged in place, so the Russian army entered within about 200 meters of the city wall, and the People's Army soldiers guarding the city tower opened fire, but only one of the three Makqin machine guns fired, one Makqin machine gun was enough in such a narrow place as the city wall; 。

Not only is the city wall cramped, but there are basically no structures that can be used as shelters, so in the face of the dense fire of the KPA like a rain of bullets, it is almost impossible to dodge, and can only let the KPA desperately dump bullets and harvest lives. The Russian soldiers in the front row almost fell to the ground in a row, and the Russian soldiers in the back saw that the situation was not good, and turned around to run, but the range of the Makqin machine gun was as high as 1,000 meters, and the range of other rifles was also more than 500, and it was not easy to escape from the range of the People's Army.

At the same time, the Russian troops who rushed from the ground also entered the positions set up by the People's Army, although the machine guns of the People's Army had not yet been arranged in place at this time, Liu Shunchang still ordered to open fire, and the soldiers of the People's Army who had been ambushed immediately opened fire.

However, Bijing on the ground is not a city wall, there are many bunkers to use, and most of the soldiers of the Russian army have rich combat experience, so after a short panic, they immediately looked for cover to dodge, and immediately launched a confrontation with the People's Army, and soon the corner of the formation was stabilized.

But after a few minutes of firing between the two sides, the casualties of the Russian army were not large, but the firepower was getting weaker and weaker, it turned out that the ammunition of the Russian army was running low, and Major Kirilenko saw that the situation was not good, and estimated that it was impossible for him to break through the opponent's defense line and go to reinforce Dongbianmen, or quickly retreat to Guangqumen, so Major Kirilenko immediately ordered a retreat.

Although Major Kirilenko lacked flexibility, his basic military system was still quite solid, and he commanded the Russian army to fight and retreat, and it was quite orderly, but unfortunately he only retreated more than 100 meters away, only to hear a dense burst of gunfire in front of him, knocking down a large number of Russian soldiers who were ready to retreat in stride. It turned out that the other two companies of the third battalion had gone around behind the Russian troops, arranged their positions, and cut off the retreat of the Russian troops.

Although the Russian soldiers hurriedly found cover to dodge, they had fallen into the front and rear of the People's Army, and the People's Army behind them had already caught up, and the soldiers who rushed to the front were holding rifles with good knives, only a few dozen meters away from the Russian army, at this time it was too late to arrange a blocking position, and the People's Army on the other side also launched a charge against the Russian army, so the Russian soldiers also put on their bayonets and launched a bayonet battle with the enemy troops in front and behind.

After two blockades before and after, the Russian army still had about 400 people at this time, and the People's Army launched a charge with a total of 5 companies of troops, more than 800 people, which is twice that of the Russian army, and the morale and morale of both sides are not at the same level, so after the two sides launched a bayonet battle, the Russian army was obviously defeated, and the soldiers on both sides fought against each other, and the Russian soldiers who were stabbed to the ground were often tall Russian soldiers. And in a short time, the Russian army has completely collapsed, and the remaining Russian soldiers have given up resistance and surrendered.

At the same time, the 2nd Regiment and 2nd Battalion, which attacked Guangqumen from outside the city, also successfully defeated the Russian troops who stayed behind in Guangqumen and successfully occupied Guangqumen. In this way, the eastern gate of Beijing City has been captured by the People's Army, and more than 380 Russian troops have been captured, and the Fifth Regiment has also paid the price of more than 150 casualties.

The tactical objective of controlling the city of Beijing and driving out all the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance had been half accomplished, and the Fifth Regiment also made persistent efforts, handed over the occupied city gates to other troops to guard, and brought the captured Russian troops to the imperial palace to guard them with other prisoners, and then waved their troops westward and launched an attack on the gates of Beijing Xicheng.

There are also four city gates in the west city of Beijing, which are symmetrically arranged with the east city, respectively, the Xizhi Gate and the Bucheng Gate of the inner city, all of which are garrisoned by the Russian army, of which the guards of the Xizhi Gate are 700 people, and the defenders of the Fucheng Gate are more than 800 people; the Xibian Gate and Guang'an Gate of the outer city are all garrisoned by the Japanese army, and the defenders of the Xibian Gate have 200 people, and the defenders of Guang'anmen have about 600 people.

However, the battle situation has progressed to this point, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army has no way to return to the sky, the five regiments launched an attack on the gates of the west city, almost encountered any obstacles, the Russian army guarding the Xizhi Gate and the Fucheng Gate converged together, abandoned the city gate, and fled outside the city, but the five regiments still adopted the tactics of marching on two fronts inside and outside the city, so although the Russian army escaped from Beijing, it was still attacked by the People's Army, and as a result, there were heavy casualties, and many soldiers surrendered to the People's Army, and only 2, 300 people escaped in the end.

Only the last two Japanese armies caused some trouble to the People's Army, and the Japanese army's usual style was that even when the defeat was assured, they still refused to surrender, insisted on fighting to the end, and served the country in pieces, so the last two Japanese armies converged together and continued to resist on the tower of Guang'anmen.

After the persuasion to surrender failed, the People's Army soldiers divided into three routes and launched a final attack on Guang'anmen. Although the Japanese insisted on holding the tower of Guang'anmen, Bi Jing was short of ammunition, so after only a few minutes of exchange of fire between the two sides, the Japanese army ran out of ammunition, and the People's Army charged the Japanese army, so the two sides started a white-knuckle combat on the tower of Guang'anmen. In the end, only about 60 Japanese soldiers were captured, and the rest were all killed, but the People's Army also paid the price of nearly 300 casualties.

Regardless, the People's Army eventually captured Guang'anmen and took full control of the city.
