Shanhaiguan, the defense line of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army.

At this time, the Johor Bahru Customs defense line, which was constructed by nearly 3,500 Japanese troops, had basically been arranged.

At the two Great Wall fractures from the main city of Shanhaiguan to the east and west, Shankou Suchen concentrated a total of 12 infantry squadrons and more than 1,800 troops to defend.

At the Great Wall Fracture on the eastern mountainside of Jiaoshan Mountain, the mountainside on the east and west sides of Huanxi Ridge, and the Great Wall Fracture of Weiyuan City at the peak, these four places are steep and extremely difficult to climb in heavy snow.

Yamaguchi Suchen only symbolically stationed half an infantry squad each, placing a total of nearly 100 defensive forces.

To the east of Huanxi Ridge, the city wall of the old dragon head and the two Great Wall breaks in the sea area, Yamaguchi Suchen arranged 5 squadrons with more than 800 troops to defend.

The remaining nearly 1,000 troops, all of the Yamaguchi Suchen were put at the foot of the eastern mountain of Jiaoshan to the west fracture, and the west foot of the Huanxi Ridge was placed at the foot of the east fracture, which was defended on the Great Wall and blocked the Qing army from climbing the Great Wall with a long ladder.

At this time, at the three places where the army was concentrated, the east and west fractures of the Great Wall and the main city, the Japanese soldiers were pulling the bricks of the blown up city and the bricks and stones of the collapsed houses with their rotten hands covered with frostbite in the ice and snow.

They will use these bricks and stones to sandwich wooden planks, pile up snow to fix, and tense to build artillery bunkers.

Yamaguchi Suchen stood at the east break of the Great Wall with a pale face, looking at the artillery positions of the anti-Japanese army four miles to the north.

Seven huge guns lined up in the snow, their muzzles pointing to the sky, pointing straight to the south.

Arrogant and domineering!

In the battle in the morning, although the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, according to Yamaguchi Suchen's visual observation, the damage of the Qing army was definitely not light.

In particular, the Qing army's siege of the remnants of the Dongdaying Heights without attacking made Yamaguchi Suchen still have illusions, and it is estimated that the Qing army outside the Guanxi is also distressed by casualties, and may not launch a new offensive today.

However, everything in front of him completely shattered his extravagant hopes.

Yamaguchi Suchen couldn't help it, and looked back at the sea in the southeast direction behind him, and it was still an empty and desperate blue sea.

"Hyungyou-Ito, I'm all the women in your house!"

Yamaguchi took a deep breath of cold air, trying to calm his burning heart with anger.

"Boom-"

At this time, there was a cannon roar in the direction of the main city, and it was Hachiro Tanagami's artillery squadron using the last three small cannons, carrying out what they might have been the last tragic artillery bombardment.

"Tagami-kun, warriors too!"

Yamaguchi Suchen praised loudly.

"Baga, move fast, aim and bombard! Long live the Empire, long live the Emperor! ”

Captain Hachiro Tanakami stood behind the two small cannons, his eyes red with blood, and his face was full of hideous jumping and roaring.

"Boom!"

The three small cannons opened fire in turn, smashing the solid projectiles into the snowy ground to the north.

Anti-Japanese Army, 80 artillery east position.

"Horses, I'm really angry; The brothers turned the muzzle of the cannon and continued to bombard these grandsons to me fiercely, avenging the brothers who died in the war! ”

Song Zhanbiao's artillery battalion only had one 78 guns left, and at this time it was also lined up with the eastern position of 80 guns.

"Okay battalion commander, everyone is sloppy and kills these dogs and beasts!" The remnants of the 78th Artillery Battalion on the artillery position shouted with anger on their faces.

"Battalion Commander Song, fight them with 80 cannons."

Xiang Shaolong, deputy commander of the 80th Artillery Battalion, hesitated slightly, and ordered loudly: "The No. 6 gun position gun group, exchange gun positions with the 78 guns." ”

"Brotherly righteousness!"

Song Zhanbiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and slammed a fist on Xiang Shaolong's shoulder, and shouted happily: "Brother, I have been drooling for a long time, but I am embarrassed to say it." ”

For such a bullish 80 cannon, Song Zhanbiao and his soldiers have long been red-eyed.

Although these 13 80 guns originally belonged to Song Zhanbiao's artillery battalion, they did not have these high-explosive bombs that bombed the sky before, so they could only throw iron lumps into the distance.

"Brothers, bang me up, bang in the sky!"

Song Zhanbiao viciously looked at the white smoke and the roar of artillery bombardment on the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan from time to time, and his face showed a trace of hideousness.

"Ready——, release!"

"Boom!"

At this moment, half of the eastern position of the 80 Gun Battalion was covered in thick smoke, and the muzzle of the 80 gun at the No. 6 gun position erupted a long tongue of fire, emitting an earth-shattering muffled sound.

At this moment, the hearts of the soldiers of the Qing and Japanese armies trembled heavily. ——This Shanhaiguan decisive battle has finally begun!

"Here we go!"

Yamaguchi Suchen heard the thunder explosion coming from the north, and his mouth was full of bitterness.

"Order, all departments resolutely fight to the death to the last soldier and not give up, must drag this Qing army to the death, and tell the soldiers that reinforcements will come soon; Once the Qing army breaks through the pass somewhere, all the surrounding military forces will fully support the counterattack, and the Qing army must be blocked outside the pass! ”

Yamaguchi Suchen's cheeks twitched again and again, and his voice was hoarse, and he issued what may be his last order for the whole army:

"Kuaima informed the Matsumoto squadron of Yongping Province to set up eye-catching signs at the edge of the ice belt in the sea, and once the combined fleet arrived, it required all infantry to immediately land at the mouth of the Tang River in Yongping Province to block the way back to the south of the Qing army, and at the same time mobilize more than four squadrons of troops to march west to blockade Shimen Village; ——”

Then, Yamaguchi Suchen roared with the sadness of going to death in his eyes: "We must completely annihilate them!" ”

"Boom!"

Another thunderbolt sounded from the east of the 80th Artillery Battalion of the Anti-Japanese Army in the north.

"Boom, ——,!"

With a sharp roar, the high-explosive bomb hit the top of a wall of the Great Wall, and a large ball of flames erupted, and five or six Japanese soldiers who could not dodge it were instantly reduced to powder.

"Hum—"

Under the ramming of huge kinetic energy, the nearly two-mile-long wall of the Great Wall was 'buzzing' and roaring, and the masonry on it was even more 'crackling'.

"Boom!"

At this time, the western position of the 80 Artillery Battalion also began to bombard.

"Yaga, you bunch of shit! Get out of the way—"

Tanakami Hachiro saw the three small cannons lined up side by side, bombarded for a long time, and did not even hit the edge of the artillery position of the anti-Japanese army, and couldn't help but curse angrily.

He kicked the commander of the 45-caliber gun away and ran over to take charge of the gun himself.

He wants to hit with one bullet and make the frogs at the bottom of the well know what the real sharp and accurate imperial artillery is!

"Whoa—"

Suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound in the air, and it was getting closer, more and more harsh.

"Reload the shells, quick! Bombardment, bombardment! ”

Hachiro Tanakami hissed and yelled: "I see which coward dares to avoid bullets and lie down!" You rice worms, the waste of the Empire—"

"Boom-"

Like a thunderbolt of lightning, accompanied by fire and smoke, a high-explosive shell struck the Great Wall twenty meters to the left of the Japanese artillery position.

The long gushing tongue of high-temperature fire instantly 'licked' the more than 30 Japanese artillerymen, and instantly turned into burning people burning upright.

"Ahh

In the terrible screams of the Japanese artillery, the shrapnel projectiles fired at high speed caused the sparks on the three small cannons to burst into the flames.

All three guns were knocked off the ground by a huge kinetic energy, churning in the air.

And those burning fire men were either beaten into broken bones and flesh by shrapnel, or they were knocked upside down and flew in the air by small cannons off the ground.

Under a single bullet, the Japanese army retreated from the small artillery battalion.

Annihilation!
