He Changying said his thoughts, and the faces of generals such as Jia Qisheng and Xu Bangdao looked much better, as long as the city was not broken, this battle could always be tormented. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I'll go back now and ask the soldiers to repair the collapsed section of the wall, and block all the other gates, leaving only the south gate."

Jia Qisheng said that he would do it, arched his hands towards He Changying, Xu Bangdao, and Li Jingfang, and led his subordinates to stride down the North Wing City.

As a result, only the generals of Ciro City and the northern wing of the city were left on the city wall.

He Changying said with a wry smile: "Brother Xu, I knew that you were going to block the tunnel, so I might as well let those three 'masters' stay in the North Wing City and dig one more out." ”

Hearing He Changying say this, the faces of the two battalion officers under Nie Shicheng, Nie Pengcheng and Shen Zengjia, were a little unnatural.

"Haha-"

Xu Bangdao laughed and said, "Brother, I have been fighting horses for forty years, and this time I am ready to put my old life on this Xiluo City." ”

He Changying was silent when he listened.

In his memory time and space, when the Qing veteran was in Jinzhou, he ignored Li Hongzhang's hints and took the initiative to join forces with Lian Shun to defend Jinzhou.

Later, in Lushun, he first persuaded Wei Rucheng to take the initiative to ambush the advance cavalry squadron of the Japanese army; Then he took the initiative to unite Jiang Guidi and Cheng Yunhe, and concentrated 5,000 troops to carry out the Tuchengzi counterattack.

In the battle, the 3rd Squadron of the 3rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army was defeated, and the Japanese army was killed 11 generals and 35 wounded, shattering the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army.

After the fall of Lushunkou, Xu Bangdao led the rout to go to Jinzhou to Yingkou, and then the siege of Gaiping, the fourth and fifth counterattacks on Haicheng, and the defensive battles of Niuzhuang and Tianzhuangtai, there was an active figure of this veteran everywhere.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, Xu Bangdao was resigned and returned to his hometown.

In the second year, he died of depression.

At that time, the sunset gradually fell, the sky was full of red glow, and the sea surface of the old dragon head sea area in the east was dyed by the red glow and burned like a flame.

It was like blood and water, slowly diffusing and staining the entire surface of the sea.

At this time, a group of fast horses entered through the south gate, and Nie Shicheng led a group of generals to the north wing of the city wall.

"I thought I had sent a telegram to Liu Duxian, and tomorrow morning I would transfer the 2,000 soldiers of the five battalions of the Jinmen Merchant League General Bureau to Shanhaiguan, and these 2,000 people would be divided equally among your three cities."

Nie Shicheng saw He Changying's disapproving look, and said apologetically: "Now that the troops of Zhili are tight, the men and horses of elite veterans are either blocked in Lushun or north of Fengtian; These recruits always aim and shoot their guns, don't they? ”

"They have guns?"

When Xu Bangdao heard this, he smiled happily.

"There were only a hundred or so single-shot rifles, and three hundred carrying guns, and the rest were collected shotguns, birds, and large blades; Well, and a batch of bows and arrows. ”

Nie Shicheng blushed a little when he said it.

"Ahh

Xu Bangdao and a group of officers all sighed.

"It's good to carry a gun, it's much sharper than this Mauser quick gun to defend the city; There is a lot of gunpowder, a large projectile, and ten shots at the top of one gun! ”

Tang Renlian on the side saw He Changying, and Xu Bangdao looked down on raising a gun, and couldn't help but be a little unhappy.

When the Taiping Army was fighting, the guns and guns were swinged, and the sound was like thunder and gunsmoke, and the Taiping Army on the opposite side fell in pieces.

Often with two volleys, the Taiping army on the opposite side was crushed and fled.

He Changying wanted to laugh when she heard it, the current war is no longer the soldiers of the past who lined up in a horizontal column to shoot at each other, but the stragglers approached, and then shot prostrately.

If you are like a blind man touching an elephant in the city, even if you break the barrel of a gun, you may not be able to touch a single bird feather of the Japanese army.

"When will that German shipment arrive?"

He Changying took a fancy to the sixty-five new 80mm caliber Krupp field guns, although the Qing Dynasty was still dizzy and did not buy shells, but the ultra-long bombardment distance of these field guns, and the number of such a large number, He Changying could not help but be moved.

According to the data of the German side, if this batch of field artillery uses their shells, the maximum theoretical range is more than ten miles.

Then, He Changying thought that with the artillery of the first battalion of the 'fake old man' Luo Rongguang, plus Luo Huafei's outpost, he could also engage in an artillery battle with the Japanese army.

"Recently, the Japanese fleet has been active in Yantai and Penglai, Ludong took away 20 gates, and Weihai Weijun Port took 10 gates in order to control the back road; The remaining thirty-five gates are on their way to Cangzhou, and the road is snowy and muddy, and it is estimated that it will take seven days to reach Jinmen. ”

Nie Shicheng looked around at the eager generals around him and said: "The armies of Jinmen are also fighting for this batch of artillery, and the military department has sent a telegram to Liu Duxian, Dong Fuxiang, Cheng Wenbing, and Zhirui will each get six." ”

"Holy! This is really a goose plucking, when is TM? As soon as the Shanhai Pass was broken, TM had six or seven artillery pieces than one unit, which could withstand the bombardment of eight or ninety artillery pieces of the Japanese army's three artillery wings! ”

He Changying couldn't help but scold angrily, and directly wanted to pick a son and leave.

"Have the more than 1,000 soldiers who fled from Lushun to Penglai arrived?"

He Changying calculated that it was good for the Japanese fleet to blockade the Bohai Sea, but it was completely possible to sail from Laizhou Bay to Jinmen in the coastal waters.

"Landing today,-"

Seeing He Changying's eyes light up, Nie Shicheng hurriedly said with a slightly red face: "But it just replaced the defense area of these 2,000 soldiers." ”

"Holy!"

This time, it was not only He Changying, but even Xu Bangdao couldn't help but scold.

"Cannons, you can still give us some, guns, you will also give us a batch, as long as everyone works together to defend this Shanhaiguan."

Nie Shicheng smiled comfortingly, but did not say how many of these 'some' and 'batches' were.

"Well, it's so fragrant, it's pork ribs stewed?"

Nie Shicheng smelled the aroma wafting from the barracks, looked at the darkening night, and said to He Changying with a smile: "I was reluctant to give me Laba porridge last night, I don't eat meat today, there is always a bowl of soup, right?" ”

"Potato stewed pork ribs, tube full."

He Changying knew that Nie Shicheng also tried his best, the problem is that the big Qing of this trough egg is such a distorted absurdity of TM, in addition to defeating it, trying to improve like Tan Sitong and Liu Guangdi is basically just a fool's dream.

On January 6 of the Western calendar, that is, the ninth day of the lunar month, the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army began the first general attack on Shanhaiguan.

At five o'clock in the morning, the second and third brigades of the fourth wing of the Japanese army, the first and second brigades of the sixteenth wing, a total of more than 4,300 troops, quietly assembled in front of the position.

At 5:30 a.m., four infantry battalions began to march in a sparse line of skirmishers towards the three cities outside the Guanwai, four miles away.

The heavy artillery wing of the Japanese army in Huazipo was all loaded with grenade shots, while the three artillery pieces on Yaoshanpo were silently on standby.

"Boom!"

In the twilight sky, a cannon in Huazipo roared, and a long tongue of fire spat out from the muzzle of the cannon, and a large stream of gunpowder smoke suddenly filled the position.

"Whoa—"

A huge projectile of 105mm caliber screeched through the air, exploding in mid-air a hundred meters from the right wall of the northern wing city, exploding a dazzling fireball.

"Whoosh-"

Countless projectiles shot in all directions in the air, smashing a puff of dark red sparks on the right wall of the North Wing City.
