As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. This is the words of Lian Jiazi in the folk proverb, and it is also very vivid to say that the two armies are fighting.

The attack of the puppet Manchurian Wehrmacht was indeed clear-sighted, with machine gun cover and mortar attacks all playing decently, and the soldiers could shoot while running like the Japanese army, and the running speed and firing speed were also decent. However, there is one difference between the puppet Manchurian defense army stationed in Shanhaiguan and the puppet Manchurian army that served as a crusade team, participated in the Japanese-Soviet war, and repeatedly fought with the Shandong Eighth Route Army in the Xuzhou area, that is, they did the fat difference of guarding Shanhaiguan, and they never fought to the death on the battlefield, and lacked the kind of murderous spirit that had been tempered thousands of times!

The vanguard battalion of the Eighth Route Army led by Meng Sanhu is different, the backbone is from the first brigade, and the soldiers are all killed from the battlefield in southwest Lu, which is a standard division of a hundred battles!

As soon as the two sides fight, the judgment is made.

The puppet Manchu army was fighting lively, machine guns and mortars were ringing on the mountain, and the officers were brandishing small pistols, shouting, shouting, and directing the soldiers to surround and charge; On the side of the Eighth Route Army, because it was too late to build fortifications, it could only rely on rocks and trenches to counterattack on the spot. It's just that the Eighth Route Army is not in a hurry, and the soldiers are all based on squads and platoons, and the squad and platoon leaders are both commanders and observers, and the firepower density is adjusted with the attack speed of the puppet Manchu army, which is no different from hunters hunting. Don't look at the momentum of the puppet Manchu army, which seems to suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, in fact, the puppet Manchu army is in the charge attack, everyone is howling and rushing up, and no one pays attention to their casualty rate at all. If anyone calms down and takes a look, I'm afraid they'll all be scared to pee their pants.

Meng Sanhu's command position was in the position of the battalion fire support company. It's a rocky beach. Meng Sanhu concentrated all the light and heavy machine guns, 60 mortars, and grenadiers of the fire support company and the fire support platoon of each company here, and waited for the puppet Manchu army to serve the food.

Now. The fire support company had not yet opened fire, but three infantry companies were blocking the attack in separate lanes.

Meng Sanhu's idea was very simple, that is, to let the puppet Manchu army concentrate, concentrate and concentrate, so that he could develop his firepower. Slaughter these traitors happily. As long as the puppet Manchu army in front of him is eliminated, Meng Sanhu knows that Shanhaiguan is about to arrive, because the intelligence makes it clear that the Japanese puppet army in Shanhaiguan City is a Japanese infantry brigade and a regiment of puppet Manchurian army. Without the puppet Manchurian army, a brigade of little devils was not even satisfied with the urn city and city wall of Shanhaiguan, and there was no gate to defend the city.

Looking at the watch, the main force was about to arrive. Meng Sanhu didn't want to be long-winded with the puppet Manchu army anymore, so he ordered each company to take cover alternately, gradually retreat, and retreat to the position of the fire support company.

The commanders of the ridiculous puppet Manchu army didn't know that the Eighth Route Army was luring them to take the bait, and they thought that the Eighth Route Army couldn't stand it and was ready to escape, and the attack became more and more urgent.

Hades let him die on the third watch, and he will never be left until the fifth watch!

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was about to retreat into that pile of rocks. The officers of the puppet Manchu army were in a hurry, for fear that it would not be easy for the Eighth Route Army to attack after occupying the rocky beach, so they jumped up one by one and took the lead in rushing.

Meng Sanhu cracked his mouth. I don't know that I thought he was going to laugh, but who knew that the cracked mouth was not a laugh, but an oozing sound: "Ready, fight!" ”

In an instant, all the light and heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army were mounted on the rocks, forming a semicircular circle of firepower, and firing wildly at the puppet Manchu troops who rushed up. It didn't take long for the grenadiers and mortars of the Eighth Route Army to speak, and the shells screamed, falling and exploding in the middle of the puppet Manchurian army's stormtroop formation.

It's ridiculous that these puppet Manchurian troops controlled by Japanese instructors usually only know the firepower of the imperial army. Who knew that the Eighth Route Army would use firepower so intensively, treating them as artemisia grass, using machine gun fire to weave a sickle for cutting artemisia grass, swinging it one after another, and frantically harvesting their lives.

Corpses all over the ground, blood all over the ground!

The puppet Manchu army really can't hold on! Just now, he was as ferocious as a hungry wolf. After a while, he turned into a water dog, clamped his tail, turned around and withdrew. Including the Japanese instructors in the puppet Manchu army, who were lucky enough not to die, they did not have the fierce appearance just now, they were completely knocked unconscious, and they were dragged backwards by the defeated soldiers in a daze.

This puppet Manchu army was different from other puppet armies in Central and North China, and as long as those puppet armies were surrounded by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they could surrender with their guns. The puppet Manchurian army outside the pass was deeply poisoned by the Japanese army, and it was the first time for these puppet troops to encounter such a strong Eighth Route Army.

The light and heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army fought more happily, da-da-da, da-da, and bullets sang happily towards the back of the puppet Manchu army.

Opinion, the puppet Manchu army collapsed, Meng Sanhu stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Extend the firepower and shoot, cover the siege!" Blow the trumpet and attack the whole battalion! ”

The loud trumpet of the charge sounded, and the soldiers got up from the ground, shouted, and rushed towards the remnants of the fleeing puppet Manchu army!

The captain of the devil brigade who stood on the tower of Shanhaiguan to watch the battle was stunned, his hands trembled, and the telescope fell to the ground.

The captain of the devil brigade didn't bend down to pick up the telescope, hurriedly pulled out his command knife, and ordered his four brigade infantry guns to open fire in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's firepower position, covering the withdrawal of the remnants of the puppet Manchu army.

Only then did I remember to use infantry artillery, it was too late!

Before the devil's infantry cannon fired, a sharp voice came from the ear of the captain of the devil's brigade, and he knew that it was the sound of the 75 field guns made by the Japanese Empire when the shells were fired across the sky and about to land nearby.

The captain of the devil team involuntarily shouted "lie down" and fell to the ground first. When the bang sounded, the captain of the devil team quickly got up and raised his binoculars to observe. This sight frightened his soul away, and he saw that the Eighth Route Army in gray military uniforms was all over the mountain, carrying ladders and pushing carts full of sandbags, shouting, and rushing towards Shanhaiguan City.

The captain of the devil brigade completely understood that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was coming to capture Shanhaiguan City.

The captain of the devil brigade couldn't care about anything, so he crawled into the customs building, where there was a telephone, and he could directly call the garrison commander for help.

The Beining line was cut off, Liu Jianli led the second column and the sixth column to Jinzhou, and the Eighth Route Army didn't know when it had already sneaked over the Great Wall into the pass, where could this call still work!

In frustration, the captain of the devil brigade left the customs building, and when he opened his mouth, he was about to order the signal corps to return to the brigade headquarters to give orders, ordering the radio to send a telegram, to the independent garrison, to the Kwantung Defense Army, and to the Kwantung Army for help. It's a pity that before he could shout his words, a group of cannonballs fell on the city wall, and a piece of shrapnel flew up and plunged straight into the mouth of the devil captain, who stared at a pair of incredible eyes and fell at the door of the gate.

After Zhang Renchu led the main force of the brigade to the battlefield, he did not stop for a moment, and immediately launched a siege battle.

This time, Zhang Renchu handed over the infantry artillery and mortars of the fire support battalions of all regiments of the brigade to the command of Fan Shiying, commander of the artillery regiment, and equipped the field artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars in echelons to form a three-layer strike firepower of long, medium, and near, covering the main force to capture the city.

Shells were exploding, heavy machine guns were firing from the back, covering the fighters to rush towards Shanhaiguan City.

When the main force attacked, Meng Sanhu had already led the leading battalion to chase the butt of the remnants of the puppet Manchu army and rushed towards the city gate.

At this time, because the captain of the devil brigade was killed, the little devils on the city wall were killed and injured by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, and those who were lucky to be alive were shooting desperately with machine guns and rifles, but they were not fighting the Eighth Route Army, but fighting the puppet Manchu Army, the meaning was very clear, that is, to force the remnants of the puppet Manchu Army to turn around and fight with the Eighth Route Army. It's a pity that the Eighth Route Army came overwhelmingly and lent a hundred guts to the remnants of the puppet Manchu army, and they didn't dare to turn back to block it. These fierce and inward-looking guys swept through Luocheng in the thin gunfire of the little devils on the city wall, poured into the urn city, and soon flocked to the city gate under the cannonballs of the Eighth Route Army to attack the urn city, and the devils who lost their unified command did not even do such a big thing as closing the city gate. The vanguard and the tail chased the remnants of the puppet Manchu army and rushed into Shanhaiguan City!

After Meng Sanhu rushed into Shanhaiguan City, he immediately commanded his troops to seize the city wall.

At this time, the Xiongguan has been broken, and the little devils who are lucky to be alive are desperate. As soon as the soldiers of the vanguard battalion rushed up along the road to the city wall, they encountered a bloodied little devil holding a soldier's leg and knocking a grenade, rumbling, and dying together.

When the soldiers rushed to the city wall, those remaining little devils were even more crazy, and they were able to move and pounce with bayonets, broken legs and arms, and luckily did not faint from pain, they all knocked grenades and pulled explosive bags, wanting to die with the Eighth Route Army, so angry that Meng Sanhu ordered that all the wounded devils be killed, and the corpses were replenished.

There is no suspense in this battle. The artillery of the Eighth Route Army also shifted the direction of the shelling, and the troops of the 28th Brigade were like scattered dramas, but they were pouring into the city, and the troops soon went up to the city wall, along the city wall to attack the other city gates, and at the same time cleared the Japanese puppet army in Shanhaiguan City.

As soon as Zhang Renchu entered the city, he immediately sent a report to Chen Shiqu and Liu Yimin: Successfully captured Shanhaiguan City!

Chen Shiqu immediately called back and ordered Zhang Renchu to leave two regiments to control Shanhaiguan City, and the rest of the troops to advance west along the Great Wall to support the main battle.

After Liu Yimin, who was on his way to Shenyang, received a telegram from Zhang Renchu that he had successfully captured Shanhaiguan City, he was excited and sent a telegram back to Chen Shiqu and Zhang Renchu: "The Ten Columns are a heroic army, which threatens the southwest and western regions of Luzhou. The first battle of the north, the first pass in the world, and the prestige resounded throughout Jireliao. On the occasion of the great victory, it is necessary to maintain a high degree of vigilance, quickly clear the remnants of the enemy at Shanhaiguan, deploy alerts along the Beining Road and highways, organize air defense, build lasting fortifications, and ensure that the Japanese army in North China is killed to reinforce the northeast passage. ”

After sending the telegram, Liu Yimin said to Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin: "Order the troops, speed up!" ”
