Chapter 645: Decisive Battle of Mountains and Seas Five

"Boom-"

The huge explosion was connected into pieces, and it resounded between the heavens and the earth, and the entire Japanese position in Dongdaying was completely covered by flames and smoke in an instant.

"Buzzβ€”"

The mountains and rivers outside the pass, the frozen rivers, seemed to be shaking violently.

"Boom-"

At this time, when the smoke of artillery fire on the heights of the Japanese army was about to rise, the second round of artillery bombardment of the anti-Japanese artillery battalion began.

The terrifying strike ability of the rapid-fire cannon was vividly displayed at this time.

"Boom-"

The cannon roared like a succession of thunder, rolling in the line between heaven and earth.

The entire Qing-Japanese front was almost completely silent, and all the sergeants watched in horror at the artillery attack in the direction of Dongdaying to the north.

During this full 6 minutes, Xiao Ligang's 13 80 guns in the Krupp Tube Retreat Battalion averaged 2 high-explosive shells per minute.

Towards the 20,000-square-meter highland of the Japanese army's Dongdaying Heights, 160 imported high-explosive bombs were fired.

The explosion is overturning the river and the sea, and the ghosts are terrifying!

More than seven-tenths of the shells were accurately smashed into this target area, and on average, there was a high-explosive bomb explosion point every 200 square meters of Dongdaying Heights.

"Boom!"

As the last bomb exploded in the East Battalion, the 80 Artillery Battalion immediately stopped shelling.

The sound of artillery came suddenly, and then stopped suddenly, and the sky and the earth were clear, only the aftermath of the explosion and the wolf smoke in the sky on the heights of Dongdaying.

"Happy, happy! Immediately put the gun carriage on the mule and horse, and withdraw to the northern flank! ”

The bombardment in one go made the soldiers of the artillery battalion sweat profusely, and they were all hearty, like drinking fine wine.

Although it was impossible to directly visualize the bombardment effect, looking at the black smoke rising into the sky from a distance, the officers and men of the artillery battalion were all incomparably happy.

And Xiao Ligang looked at the large force of Japanese troops who were forcibly breaking through Li Fengrui's troops in the east, and hurriedly yelled and ordered the soldiers of the artillery battalion to pull these 13 baby bumps back to the North Wing City quickly.

"Attack, attack!"

At this time, the East and West Luo Castle, the South Breastwork, the Okada Detachment on the Western Front, the Fukushima Detachment on the Eastern Front, and the 4 Japanese squadrons attacking from the eastern break of the Great Wall began a fierce exchange of fire with all units of the Qing Army.

"Da Da Da-"

Under the warm golden sunlight of the sky, the three Green guns responsible for the blocking of the Eastern Front exploded almost in equal order, and the three golden 'long whips' were fiercely pumped towards the Japanese troops in the attack.

"Lie down, lie down! Concentrate your firepower and knock out the Qing army's Green artillery! ”

Seeing that it was just a photo, thirty or forty people in his shock team were killed under the plough of the three Green guns, and the commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 16th Wing of the Japanese Army, Ishihara Ying Heng shouted angrily and ordered the soldiers to lie down to avoid the bullets, and at the same time concentrated fire on the Green gun post.

"Da Da Da-"

The three Grimm guns lowered their muzzles and fired towards the snow in the south, causing the ground to be filled with smoke and snow and blood splashing everywhere.

"Bang, bang, bangβ€”"

"Reload the chain! ——! ”

A gunner who had finished a box of bullet chains was yelling at the soldier to change his magazine, and was shot by several bullets and fell to the ground.

And a new gunner who was waiting on the snow next to him did not hesitate to bounce up from the snow and shouted, "Change the ammunition chain!" ”

"Yaga, Yaga!"

Ishihara Yingheng lay in the snow nest, cursing helplessly over and over again, but his heart was full of deep horror and anger.

This overwhelming cannon!

This brave and fearless soldier!

If the 11th Brigade does not come again, the Empire's brigade and one infantry wing of six or seven thousand elites will probably really sink the whole army in this Shanhaiguan battle!

And at this time, in the eastern camp of the northern front, there was silence.

Including the 2nd Battalion of Anti-Japanese Army and more than 600 Japanese troops who were facing each other on the southern front, they all stopped firing and looked to the position of the East Battalion in the north, which began to dissipate the smoke of gunpowder.

The east wind blew westward, and soon revealed a small half of the East Daying Heights.

The barrier built around the mountainside has long since been blown away, and the hills, which were previously snow-capped, are no longer white, and are full of soft black mud and craters.

"Can there be any living people in this β€”β€”,?"

The people who stood on the north wall of the north wing of the city and watched the battle were all so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, and Li Jingfang's voice was out of tune.

"Whew-"

The wind passed over the hillside, and the barracks and horse corridors that had been built on the top of the hill were all wiped clean by the shelling, and there was not a single standing war horse or standing living person on the hill.

"There should be some more, but I guess I have half a life left!"

He Changying was talking, and he saw from a distance that the Japanese soldiers slowly shook the dirt all over their bodies with difficulty and staggered to their feet.

However, there were also many Japanese soldiers who stood for a while and fell down again.

"Tick Tick Tick Tick-"

"Rush!"

"Kill the Waiyi!"

At this time, as a loud charge horn sounded, more than 3,000 anti-Japanese soldiers besieging in the distance stood up from the snow and charged with their guns raised.

"Shoot, shoot!"

Lin Taro Shaozuo, the captain of the 3rd Brigade of the 19th Wing, who was in charge of blocking the southern front, shouted with a desperate face: "Long live the emperor, die in battle to repay the emperor!" ”

"Long live the Emperor!"

The 600 Japanese troops on the southern front were also desperate, roaring with red eyes, and shooting desperately in their hands.

"Dazuo, Dazuo!"

Tomizaburo Oysaki staggered up from the mound, spitting out a mouth full of dirt and shouting in a panic.

It's just that the aftermath lingers, only the sound of gunfire in the distance and the roar of the anti-Japanese army, where is the echo of Kurifahara's eternal life?

"Fujimoto-kun, Fujimoto-kun!"

Tomizaburo Oysaki's voice was already crying.

At this time, there was a commotion under a war horse, and Kobayashi Tatsunosuke struggled out from under the dead war horse in embarrassment, staggered to his feet, and saw the form in front of him clearly after half a sound.

At this time, the hill, which originally had nearly a thousand people, was full of huge craters, and everywhere was flying dirt and broken corpses.

It's like a field of evil ghosts.

Only more than 300 Japanese soldiers escaped the victory, but they were all shocked by the explosion of huge bullets, and their facial features were bleeding, and everyone was terrified.

"Yaga! Pick up your guns, and drag a few clear dogs to the funeral with you when you die! Long live the Emperor! ”

Tatsunosuke Kobayashi yelled hoarsely in despair.

"Long live the Emperor!"

These Japanese sergeants, who were confused by the shells, shouted hoarsely reflexively, looking for rifles that had been discarded everywhere in the dirt, and lying on the top of the hill waiting in horror.

"Rush!"

"Shoot!"

"Bang, bang, bangβ€”"

Suddenly, the East Battalion opened fire in full swing, and the remnants of the 19th Wing of the Japanese Army raised their guns and fired one after another, carrying out the last futile struggle.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army's attack on the eastern and western cities and the southern breastwork had completely stopped, and they began to retreat to the Great Wall in Guannai in an orderly manner.

The Okada detachment, which attacked from the west, after losing more than 300 troops, received a strong order from Yamaguchi Sutomi, and reluctantly withdrew from the battle, and retreated into the western break of the Great Wall to defend.

After breaking through the blocking line of Li Fengrui's troops, the Fukushima Yongzhi Division, which did not follow common sense, saw that the artillery battalion of the anti-Japanese army had stopped shelling and was withdrawing its artillery.

When facing the guard company and the reconnaissance company in front of the guard, followed by a large force of pursuing the anti-Japanese army, Fukushima Yongzhi once again ordered the detachment to suddenly turn around and flee north.

As a result, the remaining remnants of more than 500 Japanese troops fled back to Shanhaiguan from the western edge of the Ludong Army's front and the eastern wall of Dongluo City.

After this battle, the Qing army finally smashed the Japanese army's long-term coercion of the three cities outside the Guanwai and grasped the initiative in the Shanhaiguan Campaign.
