Chapter 638: Fierce Battle in the Inner City
"He Changying, you bastard!"
At this time, a loud roar suddenly came from the steps of the city wall: "You pay for my Lie'er's life, you pay me thousands of Lu Dong'erlang!" β
Everyone was shocked, only to see the veteran Wang Liansan's hair and beard, with big eyes with copper bells, and a few generals of the Ludong Army, roaring towards He Changying.
More than a dozen guards who were on guard around quietly pressed their right hands on the handle of the holster that had already been opened on their waists, and stared at Wang Liansan and Mei Dongyi's group of clear generals with a high degree of concentration.
"Boom-"
At this time, the Japanese small artillery group arrayed on the wall of Shanhaiguan exploded again after two days of silence in the heavy snow.
Launch a fierce bombardment of the three cities.
Immediately afterwards, the gate of the southern Shanhaiguan suddenly opened, and a large number of Japanese troops rushed out in a swarm, running towards the south breastwork wall and the south gate of Dongxiluo City.
At the blast openings of the Great Wall on the east and west sides of the main city of Shanhaiguan, a large number of Japanese troops also swarmed out at the same time, rushing to the Qing and Japanese battle positions outside the east and west breastwork.
Suddenly, the Japanese army, which seemed to be entrenched in the main city, finally began to launch a general attack on the three cities outside the Guanwai!
On the north wall of the north wing of the city, including Wang Liansan, who was full of hatred and anger, they all immediately fell silent and looked at He Changying.
"Order that the northern, eastern, and western fronts must hold their positions and not retreat; Order all forces in the northern flank of the city, except for the artillery battalion, including the independent battalion, to immediately enter the inner city to block the enemy. β
He Changying's face did not change and looked at the Shanhaiguan City Gate three miles to the south, the long ladders carried by those Japanese soldiers, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Fortunately, the 3,000 infantry in Dongxiluo City were withdrawn before, otherwise the two cities would have been smashed into a mess by the Japanese army.
"Boom-"
A huge explosion sounded in the direction of Dongluo City, and a mushroom cloud was visible to the naked eye at the South City Tower.
"The South Gate is broken!"
Wang Liansan couldn't help but change color and lose his voice.
"Boom-"
Only less than twenty seconds apart, there was also a shocking explosion in the direction of Xiluo City, and a huge black cloud also rose from the south tower of Xiluo City, which had already been bombarded.
"Oops! The city of Ciro is also falling! β
Mei Dongyi, who was standing beside Wang Liansan, jumped to his feet in a hurry.
On the southern wall of Dongxiluo City, at this time, there were dense anti-Japanese troops, raising their guns to shoot at the Japanese troops under the city.
"Boom!"
At this time, the horse rejection pile blocked in the gap in the south breastwork wall was directly blown into countless sawdust by an explosive bag thrown by the Japanese army, and then a large number of Japanese troops rushed in through the gap.
"Bang, bang, bangβ"
Almost at the same time, the Japanese troops on the eastern and western fronts, which were striding in the snow, were also glued together with the 4th Battalion of the Anti-Japanese Army besieging the Japanese strongholds in the east and west.
In less than 20 minutes, the entire defense line outside the Guanwai was exchanged fire at the same time, and there was fierce competition between the anti-Japanese army and the Japanese army everywhere.
Cannons, guns, roars, fill the whole world.
"Do you want our artillery to bombard Shanhaiguan and relieve the pressure on the various departments?"
Xu Bangdao's face turned blue when he saw it, and he hurriedly proposed to He Changying.
"It's not time, once our artillery is exposed, and now that the army has not surrounded Dongdaying, it is very likely that the Japanese army will retreat back to Shanhaiguan on all fronts, and then abandon the pass and flee south to Yongping."
He Changying gritted his teeth and said: "In addition to the 4 battalions of anti-Japanese troops attacking the eastern and western strongholds, there are also 2,000 Jiangnan soldiers in the inner city, and some of them are not accurate; In this battle, the Japanese army can't take any city! β
While He Changying was speaking, the two thousand Jiangnan soldiers on the south chest wall began to break up on a large scale, and they all ran in all directions without their lives, and the Japanese troops behind were in hot pursuit.
The tail of the Qing army and the head of the Japanese army were tightly bitten together, and then they were mixed together.
And the Green gun, which should have been fired fiercely a long time ago, did not move for a long time.
At this time, He Changying finally changed color.
"He Minggao, Chen Guiren, these two bastards!"
Jia Qi jumped with anger.
According to the original arrangement, if the Japanese army attacked the southern breastwork, the 2,000 Jiangnan soldiers would immediately retreat in an orderly manner towards the northern flank.
In this way, the three Green guns in the east, west, and north directions could fire cross-fire and form a death zone, suppressing the Japanese army in the central and southern parts of the inner city and concentrating on the attack.
Finally, they were annihilated by a cavalry assault.
As a result, these Jiangnan soldiers who had no command were like headless flies, fleeing in all directions.
Some fled to the engineering company of the east and west breastwork, the singing phalanx of the reconnaissance company, some ran to the north wing of the city, and some crowded on the upper city ladder of the east and west of the city, trying to climb the east and west city walls.
Some even ran straight in the direction of the three green cannons, and the artillerymen who were so angry that Luo Hua flew to scold their mother, but at this time, the huge snow field in the inner city was full of dense Qing Japanese troops, entangled together, how could they still shoot?
"Oops!"
Liu Mingyang, who was standing beside He Changying, had a shocked color in his eyes.
Once the Japanese army rushed to the south gate of the north wing of the city, in terms of individual combat, the anti-Japanese army was not the opponent of the Japanese army at all, where could it block the attack of the Japanese army?
The first to suffer were the cavalry battalions on standby, as well as the staff officers and civilians in the joint command.
When the Japanese army rushed into the northern wing of the city, there were only independent battalions and the chaotic Ludong Army, Lu Yong, and two battalions of artillery in the city.
In case the Japanese army burns the military rations or even destroys the artillery, not to mention the main city of Shanhaiguan, it is impossible to defeat the eastern camp and not fill in the two or three thousand anti-Japanese troops.
"Kill!"
At this time, the anti-Japanese soldiers in the engineer battalion and reconnaissance battalion of the east and west breastwork walls raised their guns one after another, but the Qing army or the Japanese army were running in front of them, and they couldn't afford to put their guns at all.
"Don't dwell on them, first knock out their Green cannons, then annihilate their cavalry, and rush into the North Wing City to defeat them!"
The commander of the 4th Wing of the Japanese Army, Nakaki Noki, was so excited that his heart almost jumped out at this moment.
"Everyone, all follow me to the inner city and stop the Japanese army!"
"Grimm Cannon, Grimm Cannon!"
As soon as He Changying yelled, he was about to go to the inner city to fight hard, when he heard Xia Qingyun roaring in horror: "Green Cannon!" β
He stopped in surprise and looked upβ
I saw that in the middle of the inner city, the Japanese army in the south, the Qing army, overturned in pieces, and the muzzle of the Green cannon that could be seen in the line of sight strafed two brilliant chains of light, plowing and cutting towards those running Qing soldiers.
"Hit!"
Seeing this scene, the engineer company, reconnaissance company, cavalry battalion, and the sergeants who ran out of the joint command headquarters, nearly 800 rifles were estimated and aimed at the same time, and the center of the inner city was covered with blood.
"Yaga! Shoot down, shoot down! β
"Bastard! Ahh
"Nimabi, if you have a kind of you, you will kill Lao Tzu! Ahh
"Pigs and dogs! Runaway! β
The Japanese troops in the inner city reacted first and shot one after another, and those Jiangnan soldiers who were dizzy either turned around and ran south, rushed to the ladder of Dongxiluo City and waited for the city tower, or reflexively fled to the south breastwork wall and shot without *******! β
At this time, the soldiers of the independent battalion who had just taken a breath, under the leadership of Luo Minglei and Huang Bojie, rushed out of the south gate of the North Wing City and raised their guns to fight.
"Bang, bang, bangβ"
The battle in the inner city immediately stabilized and stalemate, and on the huge field, in addition to thousands of Japanese soldiers who were crawling and shooting, there were corpses of Qing Japanese soldiers all over the ground.
It was stained on the snow in the inner city, and everywhere was mottled with blood red.
It's dazzlingly white, and it's shockingly red!
