"Boom-"

The Japanese artillery fire raged wantonly in the three cities outside the Guanguan and the entire defense line of the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan, and the smoke and dust of the bombing covered the sun, and the ground shook as if it was about to end.

"Reload high-explosive shells!"

The commanders of the 3rd and 5th Artillery Wings of the Japanese Army in Wangjialing and Mengzhuang saw the Qing troops on the Great Wall in the telescope, and they all hid under the anti-artillery plates erected at the battlements of the city wall to avoid the artillery, and immediately ordered to be bombarded with high-explosive shells.

"Boom-"

"Ahh

The high-explosive bombs that were reloaded immediately showed their strong breakthrough power, and from time to time bombs bombarded the walls of the Great Wall, blasting large sections of the Great Wall into flying bricks and stones, and the inside was full of torn flesh and bones.

The earth was in turmoil, and the Great Wall under fire was like an earth dragon crawling in the waves, shaking and constantly being stripped off by the huge waves.

Crashing into the 'sea'.

The roar of cannons, the roar, the dust and gunsmoke filled the Qing army on the Great Wall, and everyone was terrified, and they all lay dead under the pine baffle, praying for the blessing of the Buddha.

Not a single head dared to stick out at the battlements and observe the enemy outside.

The artillerymen of the artillery battalion behind Shanhaiguan also hid under some improvised bunkers, waiting for the end of the fierce shelling.

"Perform the blast!"

With the shouting of the captains of the engineering units, the Japanese sappers carried explosive bags one after another, braved the artillery fire, and rushed towards the eight blasting points of Laolongtou, Huanxiling, the two wings of the main city of the Great Wall, the eastern slope of Jiaoshan Mountain, and the north gate of the north wing of the city.

"The Japanese army is going to blast; Shoot, shoot! ”

Liu Gangzhi, who was in charge of the defense of the northern city wall of the northern wing of the city, saw a group of twenty or thirty Japanese sappers carrying explosives bags and braving the heavenly artillery fire rushing from the direction of Dongdaying in the north.

Running back and forth over the northern walls, shouting orders for infantry to fire from the battlements.

"The Japanese army wants to blow up the Great Wall, and the Japanese army wants to blow up the Great Wall!"

The soldiers on the east and west walls of the north wing of the city saw from the battlements that there were two groups of Japanese soldiers carrying explosive bags on the north and south flanks, rushing towards the Great Wall.

However, the Great Wall was empty, and apart from the terrible scene of artillery bombardment, not a single Qing soldier looked outside the pass.

In the memory of the Qing army in Guanshang's several attacks on the three cities outside the pass, they were bombarded by artillery first, and only after the artillery fire stopped before it was the turn of the Japanese infantry to attack.

Who would have thought that in today's battle, the Japanese army was so fierce.

"Boom!"

A high-explosive bomb exploded two miles west of the North Wing City, and the fire of shrapnel knocked five or six Japanese demomen to the ground.

However, the Japanese soldiers who followed immediately picked up the bloody explosive bag and continued to rush towards the Great Wall without hesitation.

On the northern slope of Huanxi Ridge, the Japanese sappers divided into two routes, all the way to the Great Wall on the mountainside of the eastern slope of Huanxi Ridge, and all the way to Weiyuan City on the top of the mountain.

Behind the sappers rushing to the top of the mountain, an infantry brigade of the 18th Wing of Sato Masashi of Wangjialing was closely following and climbing the northern slope.

Among the sparse trees on the northern slope, on the snow, Japanese soldiers in black uniforms rushed to the top of the mountain like ant colonies.

Although from time to time, high-explosive bombs were fired by mistake, blowing up large areas of blood and mud, but the Japanese army continued to approach the top of the mountain little by little.

"Order, stop the bombardment of the northern wing city, and concentrate on the attack on Huanxi Ridge, the main city of Shanhaiguan, and the Great Wall on the eastern slope of Jiaoshan Mountain; After breaking the wall, the artillery fire immediately carried out a five-minute extended covering shot backwards, tearing through the second line of defense in the Qing army pass! ”

In the binoculars, Youpeng of Shan County saw that on the northern slope of Huanxi Ridge, the sappers had arrived under the city wall and were piling up explosive bags, with a satisfied smile on their faces.

"Hit!"

On the north wall of the north wing of the city, the anti-Japanese army of Liu Gangzhi's battalion saw the Japanese sappers approaching in the face of artillery fire, and a group of guns suddenly rang out on the city wall, shooting at the charging Japanese sappers.

"Ahh

"Yaga!"

Under the fierce blow of nearly 500 rifles, the group of Japanese sappers without cover were shot one after another and fell to the ground, and the last sapper rushed to the north gate 60 meters, and was pointed at by dozens of rifles and fired at the same time, and was instantly beaten into a honeycomb.

"Look for death, pig!"

Liu Gangzhi looked proudly at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers lying all the way outside the city, and his heart was full of pride and contempt.

"Attack!"

In the inner city of the three cities outside the Guanguan, the Japanese sappers were seen rushing towards the Great Wall with explosives bags, and under the strong order of the Joint Staff, the two outposts Qinghuai horse teams drove their horses to rush towards the Japanese sappers from the two small gaps reserved in the east and west breastplates.

It was intended to stop the Japanese sappers from attempting to blast the walls of Shanhaiguan.

"It's too late; It's too slow, it's still timid! ”

He Changying stood on the south wall of the north wing of the city with a pale face, helplessly watching the Japanese sappers arrive at the main city of Shanhaiguan, and the two sentinel Qinghuai horse teams were still at least a mile away.

"The Japanese artillery is moving south!"

Xu Bangdao looked back at the Great Wall of Mountains and Seas and said: "Even if these two blasting places are stopped, there is still Huanxi Ridge at the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain, and it is estimated that there will be Japanese demolition sappers at the old dragon's head." ”

"The Japanese infantry has been dispatched!"

Jia Qisheng exclaimed: "This is going to fight down!" ”

In the eyes of He Changying, Xu Bangdao, and Jia Qisheng, countless Japanese soldiers stood up and ran from Jiaoshan to the three cities outside the Guanwai, and then to Huanxiling.

"Boom!"

A rocking explosion erupted on the western slope of Huanxi Ridge, and in countless pairs of eyes, a huge mushroom cloud rose high.

"Boom—"

In the unfinished smoke and dust, it can be vaguely seen that a section of the Great Wall on the mountainside on the western slope of Huanxi Ridge was blown up by the waist.

The steep mountain caused a large number of city bricks and walls to roll down the mountain, flying sand and stones, violently interrupting the trees along the way, and making a series of rumbling loud sounds.

"Cleared!"

Jia Qisheng's face was distorted and said, "These guards deserve to die!" ”

"Boom!"

In the direction of the eastern slope of Jiaoshan Mountain, there was another roar, and the steep downhill was also easily blasted by Japanese sappers, and a piece of flying sand and rocks were scattered.

"Boom-"

At this time, all the artillery fire of the Japanese army had already crossed the Great Wall and smashed to the rear.

"Boom!" "Boom!" Two huge mushroom clouds rise.

The Great Wall on both sides of the main city of Shanhaiguan also collapsed in sections amid a huge roar.

"Broken wall, broken wall!"

On the northern line of Shanhaiguan, all the Japanese soldiers were running desperately and shouting desperately.

At this time, seeing that the situation was not good, the Qinghuai horse team of the two outposts hurriedly ordered the whole outpost to turn their horses' heads and run desperately towards the inner city of Sanguan, to escape back to Sancheng before the Japanese assault force cut off the circuit.

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise at the top of Huanxiling Mountain, accompanied by a huge mushroom cloud.

The city wall of Weiyuan City near the north slope collapsed violently, and more than 5,000 tons of bricks and stones of the city wall rolled down the north slope, smashing more than 30 Japanese soldiers who were too close to the blasting point into flesh.

"Attack!"

The commanders of the 2nd Brigade of the 18th Wing, Monji and Taro Shaosa, looked at the ruins of masonry, stone and earth on the Great Wall that was three or four meters high and nearly twenty meters long, and their faces were full of ecstasy, and they shouted and ordered the troops to launch a general attack.

"Rush!"

"Bang, bang, bang—"

Immediately, a large number of Japanese infantry on the top of the mountain swarmed into Weiyuan City, and the old Hunan army launched a crazy shooting at the stunned Jiesheng battalion in the city.

"The Japanese are here, escape!"

Suddenly, the Qing army in Weiyuan City roared in horror, crying for his father and mother. 10
