"Rush!"

The Japanese soldiers, who had received the order, spread their feet and rushed up the hill, and at the same time raised their guns and fired one after another. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Put the guns, let the guns, don't let them rush up!"

Zhou Dingchen was on the heights of Potou Mountain, shouting back and forth to give orders.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

Under the ferocious fire of the Qing army, the Japanese soldiers were constantly shot and fell on the way up the mountain, but the Japanese soldiers continued to rush, getting closer and closer.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Zhou Dingchen looked at the dense Japanese soldiers below, and knew that if he didn't retreat, the whole army would be annihilated, so he hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw in the direction of Jinzhou.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Rong An was also so frightened that his face turned white, and he shouted for his cavalry to ride away.

At 6:10 a.m., the whole battle took less than 10 minutes, and the Japanese army easily occupied the heights of Potou Mountain.

"Keep pursuing, keep chasing!"

Under the order of Saito Tokuaki, the Japanese Saito detachment clung to the retreating foot soldiers of the Huaizi Army all the way to the front of the Chenjiatun Heights.

At this time, after nearly half an hour of chasing and fleeing on Fuzhou Avenue, the sky in the east has revealed a faint whiteness of fish belly.

The heavy fog that lasted for many days finally did not take advantage of its might today, and it was very suitable for the Japanese army to take advantage of the victory to attack.

"Brothers, shoot and kill the Japanese!"

Lin Zhicai, the battalion officer of the rear battalion of the Gong Guard Army, saw the Japanese troops in the brigade following Rong'an, and Zhou Dingchen's rout chasing them to the foot of Taishan Mountain.

Lin Zhicai hurriedly cheered up these recruits who were farmers, fishermen, and hunters half a month ago: "Our Xu Junmen is famous for its righteousness, treating gold and silver as dung, as long as everyone works hard and fights the Japanese fiercely, the military gate will definitely be rewarded!" ”

"Kill the Woyi!"

The recruits of the Qing army, who had been encouraged, suppressed the fear in their hearts, shouted to give themselves courage, and raised their guns to shoot at the 'crackling' guns down the mountain.

The bullets fired from the Taishan position of the Gongwei Army blocked the pursuit of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army began to assemble in the northern part of Chenjiatun and stand by.

Soon, Tokuaki Saito led the sappers to catch up.

He watched the Qing army's rout flee from the Taishan Heights and retreat towards Jinzhou City, instead of going to the Taishan position and the Qing army above to defend together, his eyes were full of contempt.

Is this the Chinese country that has dominated East Asia for thousands of years?

It's just a bunch of vulnerable cowards.

Only in this way, the empire should be prosperous, which one cannot stop!

"The first squadron went around to Jinzhou Avenue in the east of Chenjiatun to establish a blocking line, the second squadron set up a defensive line west of Chenjiatun, and the rest of the army lined up in a skirmish line to surround the Qing army's position at the foot of the mountain."

Saito Tokuaki Shaozo looked at the Qing troops who were waiting in the Taishan position, smiled and gave the order to attack: "I want to annihilate them all!" ”

Under the order of Tokuaki Saito, the various units of the Japanese Saito detachment moved quickly, and the 6th Squadron, which was responsible for the frontal attack, immediately began to advance towards the Taishan Heights.

"Mr. Qian, we are surrounded!"

The Qing troops on the mountain soon discovered the Japanese army's attempt, but the Japanese moved too decisively and quickly, and by the time the Qing army saw it, the small Taishan Heights had been heavily surrounded by the Japanese army.

"Killing one is enough, killing two is to make money!"

Lin Zhicai's eyes were also red at this time, and he yelled and shouted: "If you are a gentleman, you should not be a bad seed, and you will be a good man in eighteen years!" ”

"Eighteen years later, I'm a good man again!"

The 500 recruits of the Gong Guard Army on the mountain, who had just put on their military uniforms for half a month and had only received ten pieces of glory so far, all roared with red eyes.

On the city of Jinzhou, Lian Shun and Rong An and Zhou Dingchen, who had just fled for their lives, stood on the Chunhe Gate of the East City Gate, all with frightened faces.

"It's over, it's over, it's Lafayette's birthday tomorrow! It's over, the Golden State is lost, everyone is waiting for the head to move, and the house is beheaded! ”

Lian Shun sat paralyzed on the city tower, crying with snot and tears on his face.

"Commander Lian, we still have nearly a thousand soldiers in Jinzhou City, rushing at Chenjiatun, maybe-"

Zhou Dingchen suddenly stopped talking, he looked at the tens of millions of Japanese soldiers on Fuzhou Avenue in shock, and he was terrified.

"Zhao Huaiye, you bastard! What about your reinforcements? If you don't save you from death, I will impeach you to death in the 'Military Affairs Department'! ”

Lian Shun, who was sitting on the city tower, scolded at the top of his voice.

"Retreat, retreat; These cunning wedges! ”

In the early morning, when he heard the gunfire on Fuzhou Avenue, Xu Bangdao's face had already changed.

When I saw Rong'an's banner soldiers, Zhou Dingchen's Huaizi army, and Lin Zhicai's battalion, the arch guard army on the Chenjiatun Heights, desperately fled back to Jinzhou.

Xu Bangdao knew that the Taishan Heights could not be defended.

If he doesn't retreat now, and wait for the Japanese to tie up both sides of the cloth bag, his four battalions of more than 2,000 guards will be wiped out.

Xu Bangdao hurriedly ordered the battalions to withdraw from their positions: "The artillery battalion went straight to the Dongshan artillery battalion position empty-handed, and the rest of the battalions all returned to Jinzhou City." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Bangdao looked at Tao Jianxing, the commander of the artillery battalion, with a sad face: "If Zhao Huaiye doesn't come today, this Jinzhou City will definitely not be able to hold it; You have followed me for more than 20 years, and which of these brothers in the artillery battalion has been with me for more than 10 years, if Jinzhou is besieged, you can take those small fishing boats by the water from Xiaotuozigou and go to Monk Island to escape for your life. ”

"Your Excellency!"

"Don't say more, this battle is suffocating; Zhongtang, Zhongtang, why are you so confused? ”

Xu Bangdao was angry and angry, his face was blood-red.

At 6:50 a.m., Xu Bangdao led his troops to avoid Chenjiagou and withdrew to Jinzhou City from the south side of Chuangjialou.

Soon, the gunfire of the entire Taishan Heights stopped, and the rear camp of the Gong Guards was completely annihilated.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese artillery set up an artillery position on the Taishan Heights, and began to shell the city of Jinzhou with field artillery and mountain artillery.

The artillery on the tower of Jinzhou City and the Krupp field gun on the east hill of the right rear flank exploded at the same time, firing at the Japanese artillery in the Taishan position.

At this time, with 2,000 troops, Zhao Huaiye, who had just walked to the vicinity of Jinzhou Xicheng, saw the Japanese artillery shells exploding in Jinzhou City, his legs trembled, and he turned his head and fled.

Xu Bangdao, who ran to Xicheng to greet him angrily, jumped and scolded Zhao Huaiye's eight ancestors.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese infantry began to attack the city of Jinzhou.

The Japanese army adopted the method of encircling three and leaving one, and deliberately vacated the west gate.

Xu Bangdao, Zhou Dingchen, and Rong An commanded the Qing army in the city, and the Japanese army outside the city fought desperately, and the Japanese casualties increased greatly.

At 9:30 a.m., Lian Shun, who was finally able to move his legs, hurriedly went to the telegraph office to complain and ask for troops, but was told that the telegraph line had been destroyed by the Japanese army.

Lian Shun was completely desperate.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Japanese sappers blasted Yong'an Gate with explosives, and when Lian Shun and Rong'an learned of it, they immediately abandoned the city and fled towards Dalian Bay.

As a result, the Japanese army was ambushed outside the north gate for a surprise attack, the whole army was routed, and the death was heavy.

At 10:15 a.m., Xu Bangdao and Zhou Dingchen led the army to retreat from the north gate.

However, at this time, the Japanese army at the north gate was chasing the banner soldiers of Lian Shun and Rong'an, so that the two of them retreated to Dalian Bay smoothly without danger.

At this point, Jinzhou City, the choke point of Ludagang, was completely lost and fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, under the order of Motoji Mountain, the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army moved to Chuangjialou, and the headquarters of the 1st Division, the Nogi Division of the 1st Brigade, assembled the company battalion.

And the more than 1,600 troops of the Saito detachment were left alone, harvesting Jinshu Castle and enjoying the fruits of the victors.

Suddenly, there was a cry in the small city of Jinzhou, and the Japanese Saito detachment that entered the city began to search from house to house, burning and killing, doing everything.

Flames broke out in the city of Jinzhou, and the black smoke covered the sun, like hell.

At this time, a loud military horn sounded in the sky.
