Although the Eight-Nation Coalition is superior in numbers, because it is fighting in the dark of night, it has no purpose at all, and it lacks a unified command, so it can even be said that there is no command, because among the seven countries, the command headquarters of six countries have been destroyed, and naturally there is no one to organize and command, even if the commanders of one or two countries escape from the headquarters, but in the dark, they cannot organize their own armies, and they cannot even find their own troops, and of course there is no way to carry out effective resistance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, the Eight-Nation Coalition could only fight on its own, and there were even a few cases of friendly forces exchanging fire with each other and firing each other by mistake.

Although the number of special forces is small, their weapons are advanced, their firepower is fierce, and they have the advantage of unilateral transparency on the battlefield; therefore, after the two sides engage in battle, the special forces not only do not fall behind, but they also do not blindly defend, constantly taking advantage of the cover of darkness and houses and buildings, resolutely interspersing and detouring, concentrating their forces to take the initiative to attack the Eight-Nation Coalition Forces, and repeatedly succeeding on local battlefields.

By this time, the battle in Beijing had been going on for more than an hour, and the sky was gradually brightening. However, the whole city of Beijing seems to be completely plunged into the chaos of war, and there are gunshots everywhere and fires everywhere.

However, in the headquarters of the traverser, through the picture transmitted by the drone, it can be seen very clearly that all the wars basically take place on the central axis of Beijing, from south to north within a distance of about 8 kilometers, and the battle is carried out with the imperial palace as the core. On the east and west sides of the city of Beijing, however, it is actually very calm, so it presents a very strange situation.

Of course, the battle has been carried out so far, the whole war is going very smoothly, in the palace, the special forces have eliminated the six command headquarters, basically paralyzed the command center of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and in the peripheral battle, after the first regiment and one battalion broke through Zuo'anmen and immediately went deep into the city of Beijing, the third battalion also captured You'anmen, and immediately rushed to Yongdingmen to send aid to the battle of the regimental headquarters. Under the two-way attack of the People's Army, the defenders of Yongdingmen could not resist and fled in all directions. The People's Army finally succeeded in capturing Yongdingmen. The first battalion has successively occupied Zhengyangmen and Tiananmen, and is advancing in the direction of Wumen, so the road to the palace has been completely opened.

On the other side, the 2nd Regiment had also made a breakthrough on the front north of Beijing, where there were two gates, Andingmen and Deshengmen, both of which were garrisoned by French troops. The 2nd Regiment divided its troops into two directions, launched an attack on the two gates at the same time, bombarded the gates with artillery, and then charged towards the gates. Like the British army, the French army is mainly composed of colonial troops, and these soldiers are basically from Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other places in India, that is, the old time and space, and the combat effectiveness is very limited. Therefore, the fierce battle between the two sides did not last long, the French army could not resist, and retreated to the city, and the people's army successfully occupied Andingmen and Deshengmen, and advanced to the north gate of the imperial city, Shenwu Gate.

Both the north and south fronts have been opened, so it can be said that the battle against Beijing is a sure victory. However, on local battlefields, there are still some unfavorable situations for the People's Army.

Although most of the headquarters of each country were wiped out, the troops guarding the city gate did not know that they were on the east and west sides, because there was no fighting, and there were quite plenty of troops, but there was no order from the command, and they did not know when the enemy army would attack the city gate they defended, so the army at the city gate did not dare to act rashly. However, the sound of guns and explosions from the palace still made some of the garrisons of the city gates unbreathable, after all, the headquarters was in the palace, so some of the city gates sent some troops to reinforce the palace, of course, some of the city gates were still immovable. But that's it, the Eight-Nation Coalition army that rushed back to the palace for reinforcements was about 1,500 people.

And in this way, the special forces who are fighting in the palace also obviously feel the pressure, because the more they fight the enemy, the more troops they have, and the more the enemy's troops, naturally squeezes the space for the special forces' activities, plus the sky is gradually brightening, and the biggest unilateral transparency advantage of the special forces on the battlefield is gradually being lost, so the battle of the special forces is becoming more and more difficult.

However, fortunately, the reinforcement of the Eight-Nation Coalition is also fighting on its own, and the sky is not completely bright at this time, but some shadows can be seen faintly, so the special forces can still maintain a slight advantage. But as the sky gradually clears up, and the number of troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance reinforcing the palace is likely to increase, the superiority of the special forces will inevitably be weakened. What is even more critical is that the special forces have a limited amount of ammunition to carry individually, and after more than an hour of fierce fighting, most of the ammunition of the fighters has now been consumed, and if the battle continues, the weaknesses of the special forces will be infinitely magnified, and the situation will be more difficult.

At this moment, Yu Maolin received a notice from the command that at this time, a unit of the People's Army was approaching the noon gate and was about to rush into the palace to reinforce the special forces, so he asked Yu Maolin how to cooperate with this force. Although the command has learned about the battle situation of the entire battlefield through drones, the combat situation of the whole body is still best known only to the troops themselves in battle, so the command first solicits the opinions of the combat troops. Of course, this can only be achieved with the support of advanced communication equipment in the old time and space, which is where the greater advantage of the traverser lies.

After thinking for a while, Yu Maolin replied to the command headquarters and asked this force to attack the Wenhua Palace first, solve the last command headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and then occupy the southeast corner of the palace. Because now the main battlefield of the special forces is concentrated in the northwest of the palace, where there are many houses and palaces, and the terrain is complex, and the special forces can still support it. Therefore, if the reinforcements occupy the southeast of the palace, they can form a distant echo with the special forces, and can directly threaten the flanks of the eight-nation coalition forces in the northeast and southwest.

In addition, Yu Maolin has always had a heart problem, that is, now there is only one headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the Wenhua Palace, and as the sky brightens, it is possible for this command to reorganize the Eight-Nation Alliance Army and form a command center, so that the battle may last for a long time, which is naturally unfavorable to the entire crossing group, so it is best to end this command headquarters to prevent future troubles. And the Mandarin Hall is located in the southeast of the palace, which also kills two birds with one stone.

Being able to make such a decision in a short period of time in the tense environment of the battlefield also shows that at this time, Yu Maolin still maintains a very clear mind and judgment, as well as a good view of the overall situation, and has made the right decision.

The People's Army troops approaching the palace were naturally a regiment and a battalion led by Luo Yue, and after breaking through Tiananmen Square, the troops had already forced into front of the noon gate, and at this moment, Luo Yue received an order from the headquarters, asking Luo Yue to break through to the palace, and first attack the Wenhua Hall in the southeast of the palace, which is the only remaining headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance, so it may encounter strong resistance, but this command must be destroyed.

After receiving the order directly from the headquarters, Luo Yue naturally had to defend it. The Noon Gate is the entrance to the Imperial Palace, and it is also the south gate of the Imperial City. However, at this time, all the troops stationed at the noon gate had withdrawn to the palace to reinforce the headquarters, leaving only a dozen soldiers on the city tower to guard, and a battalion rushed to the noon gate, and immediately set up the siege tower and climbed to the city tower. The dozen or so soldiers who stayed behind at the city gate couldn't defend themselves, but it didn't take long for the soldiers of the People's Army to climb the city tower, open the city gate, and let the troops into the palace.

After breaking into the palace, Luo Yue immediately led the troops and went straight to the Wenhua Palace.

It turned out that the Mandarin Hall was the headquarters of the U.S. military, and now the U.S. military has about 2,000 troops, and the commander is Adna?? Lieutenant General Chaffee. In the Beijing defense system of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the United States was responsible for guarding the Dongzhi Gate and Chaoyang Gate in the east, and also guarded the Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace. And like Britain and France, the main force of the U.S. military is also the army of the colonies, because Britain, France and the United States are too far away from China, and it is too slow to transfer troops from home, and it happens that these three countries have colonies in Asia, so it is naturally more convenient to transfer troops from the colonies, while other countries that are far away from China and do not have any decent colonies in Asia, such as Italy, Austria-Hungary could only send a small number of troops symbolically, while Germany, although it occupied Qingdao at that time, had no firm foothold, so it had to transfer troops from the country, and by the time the German army arrived in China, the Eight-Nation Coalition had already captured Beijing.

After the battle in the palace began, Cha Fei also hurriedly dispatched the US troops guarding the imperial city to defend the headquarters, fortunately, in the battle plan of the special forces, the Wenhua Hall was the last target to attack, and after the special forces eliminated the six command headquarters, they fell into a struggle with the reinforcements, and there was no time to attack the Wenhua Palace, and the US troops were spared.

And the results of the investigation surprised Chaffee, it turned out that not only the palace was attacked, but even the north and south walls of Beijing City were also attacked by the army, and at this time, the only people who attacked Beijing City were overseas Chinese, and it seemed that overseas Chinese were planning to capture Beijing tonight. As the commander-in-chief of the US forces and one of the members of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces Command, Chaffee certainly knew that the current strength of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces was insufficient, and it was impossible for them to hold Beijing, and if the overseas Chinese really came to attack Beijing, they must have concentrated enough troops, so it seemed that it would be difficult to hold Beijing City today, so he should have made plans as soon as possible.
