He Changying's words made the atmosphere in the war room suddenly hot.

Liu Kunyi, He Minggao, Chen Guiren and others, who had just heard the astonishing news that 'the Japanese warship group would arrive at Shanhaiguan at any time,' only thought about how to quickly open the way back to the customs, so that they could escape before the Japanese warship group arrived.

But now listening to He Changying's meaning, he can still defeat Yamaguchi Suchen's 3rd Brigade before leaving, how can he not make Liu Kunyi excited?

As long as he has this great achievement, he Liu Kun will return to Beijing again and again to 'King Qin', and the loss of Shanhaiguan will be regarded as a great compensation.

"Tell me about it?"

Liu Kun lifted his spirit and looked at He Changying: "You have to understand, the Japanese ship group may arrive at Shanhaiguan at any time, once the back road of Yongping Mansion is blocked, we will not be able to fly!" ”

"Yes, yes, you have to be cautious in this matter, and you would rather not do anything than make a mistake;"

Seeing Liu Kun's scorching gaze, Yi Shun Dingqiang smiled and explained in a low voice: "In this big battle ,—— Governor Xian, our losses are not small. ”

After listening to Yi Shunding's words, Liu Kunyi, He Minggao, Chen Guiren, Wang Liansan, Mei Dongyi, including the generals of the anti-Japanese army, all flashed a line of pain on their faces.

On the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, all units of the anti-Japanese army attacked three strongholds outside the Japanese army, killing and seriously wounding nearly 200 people.

On the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar, the anti-Japanese army continued to attack the three strongholds of the Japanese army, where did they expect that the independent battalion, the Ludong army, Lu Yong, nearly 4,000 troops suddenly entered the battle, and the Ludong army forcibly attacked the Japanese army's Dongdaying Heights.

Then it led to a general scuffle, followed by the collapse of Liu Kun's pro-army.

The Ludong army lost no less than 1,000 people, and Wang Liansan's righteous son Chen Weilie was also killed, and the body could not be saved.

Of Liu Kunyi's 2,000 pro-army, only nearly 400 remained, and the anti-Japanese army also suffered nearly 200 casualties.

On the fifteenth day of today's lunar calendar, although this great victory hit the Japanese army hard, it pulled out the three nails that Yamaguchi Suchen wedged outside the three cities outside the Guanwai in one fell swoop.

However, the anti-Japanese army suffered nearly 800 casualties.

The soldiers who attacked the Dongda Battalion alone lost more than 400 people, and half of the soldiers of Song Zhanbiao's artillery battalion were also lost.

The 4th battalion of Wang Liansan, who guarded Dongluo City and was responsible for blocking the southern line of the eastern stronghold, lost more than 150 people in this battle, and Liu Kunyi's battalion and Mei Dongyi's battalion Lu Yong, who guarded Xiluo City, were also killed by the Japanese army raising guns and sniping under the city wall.

In these two and a half days, although the troops outside the Guanwai strangled nearly 3,000 Japanese troops, at this time there were still more than 300 remnants of the Japanese army besieged on the Dongdaying Heights.

However, the total attrition of the troops outside the Guanxi also exceeded 4,000 people, and the number was even greater than that of the Japanese army!

It can be said that if there were no 13 80-Krupp retractable rapid-fire guns today, as well as the terrifying high-explosive shells, and the Japanese army did not dig on the high ground of Dongdaying to build any artillery shelters.

Then the East Daying Heights are far from being scrapped so easily and neatly.

If the Japanese army had dug a large number of bomb shelters in advance, and wanted to achieve the current effect, even if the anti-Japanese army had huge artillery and sharp shells, it would have been basically appropriate to fill in a thousand lives.

If you take a step back, if you don't even have a sharp artillery, even if the anti-Japanese army fills in 3,000 lives, because of the containment of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army in the south, He Changying doesn't dare to say that he will definitely be able to defeat the Dongdaying Heights.

Listening to Yi Shunding's words, He Changying was silent for a while,—— this is heartache for the heroic soldiers who died in battle.

Then he didn't say anything, just lit a cigarette and took a long puff, and looked at Liu Kunyi quietly.

"Don't forget, on the wall of Shanhaiguan, there are still the corpses of veterans! That's it—"

Liu Kun's face was distorted, and he said with a sad face: "But if there is a glimmer of possibility, you and I generals will have to kill all these widows to avenge them, and let them be buried as soon as possible!" ”

The atmosphere in the war room suddenly froze, and everyone showed sadness and indignation.

As soon as Liu Kun was a big banner and a sacrifice, no one dared to raise any objections, they all looked at He Changying, waiting for his words.

"Whatever the reason, at least the Japanese ship group has not yet arrived, and even if it comes, it will take time to land; Before, my biggest headache was that the Japanese army retreated to Yongping Mansion, forcing us to fight a siege war with them in the wilderness, and what I wanted most was that the Japanese army would continue to defend the front line of Shanhaiguan, but I didn't have much hope before. ”

He Changying said resolutely: "But now Yamaguchi Suchen has no choice but to defend Shanhaiguan, because they have to wait for reinforcements from the Japanese army to annihilate us; So, let's defeat them completely! ”

"Do you still have that shell?"

Liu Kunyi cleverly did not name the sensitive word 'high-explosive bomb'.

However, he didn't have to think about it to know that it must have been when Luo Huafei was seconded from Dagu Fort, and Luo Rongguang secretly gave him a gift from this 'quasi-son-in-law'.

"There are only 146 left, and it is more than enough to lay down Shanhaiguan."

He Changying replied to Liu Kunyi with a smile, and then said to Angus: "The battle plan doesn't need to be too detailed, it should be direct, simple, and rough!" Let each department make a large number of long ladders, in addition to attacking the Japanese army who defended the fracture, you can also climb over the wall to fight them! ”

East Daying.

Oysaki Tomizaburo and Kobayashi Tatsunosuke were shivering from the cold lying in a crater on the edge of the top of the hill, looking at the Qing army about 250 meters below, eating and drinking soup over a lively and noisy fire.

"Gollum—"

Although it is very embarrassing, but from last night's dinner to now, how can the stomachs of the two people who have not eaten a grain of rice hold back the protest of their stomachs, and at this time there are one after another 'grunting'.

And their thirsty throats are an unattainable luxury to even eat a mouthful of cold snow.

Except for the small half of the snow that had been melted by the high flames of the shelling, the rest had turned into snow and merged into the soft soil of the mountain, turning into a thin muddy mud.

Except for the more than 100 soldiers who withdrew from the southern front, the clothes of the rest of the Japanese soldiers who were originally on the top of the hill had been soaked with mud and water, and now they were wearing a hard ice carapace, and they were all freezing to death.

And sometimes the delicate skin has been frozen together with the clothes, and a large piece of skin is torn off when it moves, and the blood is dripping, and the screams of those soldiers are heart-rending.

What's even worse is that many soldiers were shocked by the cannon before, and they began to attack at this time, and in the silent despair, they turned into cold corpses little by little.

And those soldiers who were lucky enough to be still intact shivered with horror when they thought that they would face a cold night of more than minus 20 degrees Celsius at night.

"Yaga, these clear dogs!"

Kobayashi Chennosuke was thirsty and hungry, his heart was burning with sour water, his brain was dizzy, looking at the anti-Japanese army under the mountain, his eyes were so angry that his eyes were spewing fire, and his body was trembling.

"Kobayashi-kun, we can't sit still any longer, breaking through immediately is the only chance to survive;"

Oyster Saburo said to Kobayashi Tatsunosuke in a trembling voice: "If you continue to drag it out, you will not starve to death and die of thirst, but you will be frozen to death!" ”

"Breaking through now is also a dead end!"

Kobayashi Tatsunosuke didn't look at the Oyster Tomizaburo beside him, but just looked at the anti-Japanese army under the mountain with burning hatred: "Even if it barely stands out, at least half of the soldiers will die in vain, and in the subsequent pursuit, the physical strength is not comparable to these Qing troops at all, and in the end, it is a miracle that twenty or thirty of these two or three hundred people can escape back!" ”

Tomizaburo Oysaki and an infantry ensign in the same pit glanced at each other, and each saw the strong desire to survive in the other's eyes.
