"Order Liu Mingyang, after controlling the battle situation in the west of Jiaoshan, to use the military strength of an infantry battalion to attack the rear flank of the Japanese army in Laolongtou; Detached a company of troops, brought binoculars, conquered Huanxi Ridge, and paid close attention to the sea surface to the southeast. ”

"Order the independent battalion to immediately march south to block the southern wing of the city, and not let the Japanese army rout and hide in the southern wing of the city."

"Order the cavalry battalion not to fall into the battle group after entering the pass, and the whole battalion will be scattered in platoons in the south of the southern wing of the city to block and pursue the rout of the Japanese army."

"Order all divisions to drive the Japanese troops into the wilderness as much as possible, chase and shoot them; For the Japanese army entering Shanhaiguan, it will take an encirclement posture and will not attack for the time being. ”

He Changying quickly uttered a few orders, and the stone that had been coiled in his heart for many days finally fell to the ground safely now.

Since a month and a half ago, He Changying was agitated by Tang Renlian.

At that time, in He Changying's heart, he did not have a helpless will to kill himself, and led more than 2,000 recruits into the North Wing City.

At this time today, the Battle of Shanhaiguan has finally come to an end, and he He Changying and his anti-Japanese army not only survived, but also defeated the Japanese army and strengthened themselves.

He Changying subconsciously touched a handful of pockets, but unfortunately the last few 'Pinhai' were also sucked up in the morning.

Shanhaiguan, Qing and Japan are on the front.

At this time, on the long front of more than ten miles, the soldiers of the Qing and Japanese sides, under the command of their respective commanders, were still firing fiercely.

Relying on the terrain everywhere, with the help of a few piles of bricks, a few pieces of wood, and dozens or hundreds of people forming a small circular position, the Japanese soldiers struggled with the Qing troops on all sides and carried out the final struggle.

The entire mountain and sea defense line, filling the rest of the heaven and earth, was full of roars, roars, and dense muzzle explosions.

There was smoke and howling everywhere.

"Warriors of the Empire, hold on! Reinforcements from the sea will arrive at any time, long live the Emperor! - When it gets dark, these clear dogs won't be able to besiege us! ”

The besieged Japanese officers painted cakes to cheer up their soldiers.

"Fight to the death, fight to the death!"

At this time, those Japanese soldiers were all blood-red eyes, lying in the snow with frozen fingers pulling the trigger of their rifles, and making a final desperate resistance.

However, in the face of several times the siege and strangulation of the Qing army, the Japanese positions were constantly captured by the Qing army, and these Japanese troops had to retreat step by step.

At 15 o'clock in the afternoon, the two battalions of the anti-Japanese army led by Liu Mingyang and the first battalion of the Ludong Army, after clearing the Japanese troops on the front line of the Great Wall at the western corner of Huanxi Ridge, immediately led the first battalion to bypass the southern slope of Huanxi Ling and attack the rear road of the old dragon head Gutian Brigade.

At about 16 o'clock in the afternoon, the entire Japanese defense line in Shanhaiguan fell, and the remaining tens of thousands of troops of the Qing and Japanese sides fought on the snow-covered land south of the Great Wall, and the bloody battle continued.

At about 16:30 in the afternoon, the small groups of Japanese troops surrounded everywhere were annihilated one by one by the Qing army, and the remnants of the six or seven hundred Japanese troops began to flee south, and the rest of the troops were all compressed into the main city of Shanhaiguan and besieged by thousands of troops.

Yamaguchi Sutomi, Nakaki Noki, Okubo Toshisada, and Ishihara Yingheng, the four of them stood in the southern castle of Shanhaiguan, looking from afar in the direction of the southern wing of the castle in the south, and the cavalry of the Qing army was chasing and shooting the soldiers who fled to the south.

Fukushima Yongzhi Daisa, Eda Kunirong Shaosa, Tanida Fumie Shaosa, Okada Akiyoshi Shaosa, Yamada Tadazaburo Shaosa, Hayashi Yoshitaro Shaosa——

Plus Kuri-Iwara Tsuneyo Osa, Fujimoto Tai Shaosa, and Hayashi Taiichiro Shaosa, who died in the morning.

Originally, there were nearly 7,000 troops, but at this time, there were less than 800 people left in the main city of Shanhaiguan!

Yamaguchi felt a sweetness in his throat, and he suppressed the urge to vomit blood, not daring to continue thinking about these things that could make people crazy.

On the Weiyuan City of Huanxi Ridge, a red flag was erected, hunting and flying in the east wind, which stimulated the eyes of the four people to tears.

Another red flag was erected in the southern wing of the city, and the soldiers of a 12-man squad guarding it surrendered without a fight.

At this time, on the east and west sides of the north wall of the main city of Shanhaiguan, the Great Wall was densely packed with rifles.

The main city of Shanhaiguan has four city walls, and only the south city wall is the last place where the 3rd Brigade can climb and overlook.

However, Yamaguchi no longer looks at the sea to the southeast.

Because today, the 3rd Brigade is doomed to the tragic end of the annihilation of the whole army!

The sun slanting to the west gradually fell into the mountains, and without direct sunlight, the surroundings suddenly became colder.

"Gentlemen, night is coming; As long as we can hold on until the night, this weather where the water turns into ice, the anti-Japanese army can only retreat to the three cities outside the Guanwai,—— and at that time, it is the opportunity for us to be born and withdraw to Yongping Mansion to continue fighting! ”

As soon as Yamaguchi Suchen's words fell, everyone on the city wall changed color.

"Boom-"

A rolling thunder roared from the north, instantly shattering the little hope that everyone had just born, and they fell into complete despair.

He Changying, Liu Kunyi, Li Jingfang, and everyone climbed the east break of the Great Wall, and walked a mile west on the Great Wall, watching the artillery bombardment of the city.

After the last 26 high-explosive bombs smashed into the main city of Shanhaiguan in turn, as the sound of artillery gradually dissipated, the surrounding area fell into silence again.

Only in the main city of Shanhaiguan, from time to time there were desperate and terrible howls.

"Deputy Li will write a letter of persuasion to Yamaguchi Suchen, just say that those who surrender will not die, otherwise they will use artillery to bombard the main city!"

If he can capture a Japanese general alive, then his Liu Kunyi's face will be ironclad and bright? Liu Kunyi specially told Li Jingfang, and he was afraid that He Changying would hurt him, so he patiently said to He Changying:

"Now there are more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers in it, if we really swear to fight to the death, we will have to have a lot of losses; And there are many dreams at night, and the warships of the Japanese are coming. ”

"It's all up to the Governor."

Although He Changying felt that it was best to completely annihilate these Japanese troops, otherwise it would be a burden in this ice and snow, but as soon as Liu Kun wanted to be famous, he didn't need to stop it.

"Haha-"

Liu Kunyi laughed with satisfaction, thinking that it must be this little rabbit cub who knew that once the telegram was connected to the Beijing Division, his army would be under the command of the old man, so he began to soften his acquaintance.

"Look, the Japanese soldiers are climbing the Horn Mountain; Haha-"

Wang Liansan shouted happily and with relief: "Look at these beasts who are not alive this day!" ”

When He Changying and others heard this, they saw that on the Great Wall of the Western Corner Mountain, more than 20 Japanese soldiers guarding the break on the east mountainside were struggling to climb towards the snow-capped mountain top.

"What a bunch of silly walls!"

He Changying was simply speechless about a tendon of the Japanese army, but it was okay to let them slowly freeze to death in Jiaoshan.

The main city of Shanhaiguan.

This round of artillery attacks sent at least sixty or seventy Japanese soldiers to hell, and the city was full of screams of dying Japanese soldiers.

However, he didn't want to die yet, he just wanted to take a look at the ships of the Combined Fleet, and if it was possible, he wouldn't mind beating Ito Henyou, a bastard, to death!

The letter of surrender that Yamaguchi Suchen is holding now is the only chance for him and the Japanese troops in the city to live, but only if they are humiliated and shamefully captured by the Qing army.

"Commander, what should I do?"

When Okubo Toshisada asked this sentence, he had actually completely expressed his intentions.

"Yaga, these pigs, bastards!"

Ishihara Yingheng, the captain of the 16th Brigade of the 2nd Wing of the Japanese Army, was so angry that he jumped like thunder: "As an imperial soldier, you should be proud of death and fight to the end!" ”
