Thundered!

Bang bang bang!

Da-da-da-da!

On August 21, 1900, at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Aihui finally ushered in the frontal attack of the Tsarist Russian army of land and water, which was 17 days later than in history.

The Tsarist army attacked at the same time, and the water army opened the way with artillery fire, and then landed strongly from the eastern pier to attack the Qing army's position.

The land army, under the command of Major General and Brigade Commander Ivanoves, divided into two routes, attacking Aihui City from the south and north respectively.

From the very beginning, the battle entered the white heat, the Tsarist Russian army on land and water had no intention of tentative attack, the battle was extremely fierce, Yang Fengxiang also had to climb the city tower early, like a Dinghai god needle, standing on the city gate tower, so that all the Qing troops felt the blood boiling in their chests, and they all fought to the death.

"Soldiers, the wolf ambition of Tsarist Russia, invaded my territory, killed my people, and today there is only a battle to the death."

"Fight to the death."

"Fight."

"Kill."

I have to say that Yang Fengxiang is a person who is very good at mobilizing the morale of the soldiers, of course, this is mainly because Yang Fengxiang has taken the lead and put life and death out of the way.

The most ferocious offensive was the waterway army in the east, the super-large caliber naval guns were incomparably powerful, mercilessly bombarding the Qing army's positions, constantly tearing the Qing army's positions apart, and under the cover of naval guns, the landing of the Tsarist Russian army was hardly disturbed.

However, when the two armies were connected and short-handed, the naval artillery could not play a role, and at this time, the Qing army climbed out of the mound one by one and launched a brutal hand-to-hand battle with the Tsarist Russian landing force.

The battle on the north and south sides was equally fierce, although Ivanoves's infantry brigade had no siege weapons and was not equipped with artillery battalions, but the intermittent shelling of Tsarist Russia from about 0:00 last night also caused the city walls of Aihui City, especially the city walls on the north and south sides, suffered great damage, and there were no longer a few gaps in collapse.

Coupled with the superiority of the number of Tsarist infantry brigades, it is difficult for the Qing army to take into account the defense of the Qing army, and there are always Tsarist Russian soldiers constantly rushing into the city, making the entire battlefield chaotic, and the battle scenes inside and outside the city are everywhere, fortunately, Yang Fengxiang is like a Dinghai god needle standing on the head of the city, which makes the Qing army extremely brave and recaptures the lost position several times.

In the book "The Siege of Blagoveshchensk and the Occupation of Aihui", Tsarist Russia wrote: "The Chinese people held their positions to the death, engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with our army until death,......, and many of them deserved to be called real heroes. ”

Although the Qing army performed bravely, but in the equipment and number are at a disadvantage, or even a serious disadvantage, the Qing army's defensive position can only continue to shrink, until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Qing army lost the east gate of the outer city, had to retreat to the inner city, and the north and south sides are also in danger.

"Damn, is this crazy?" Wang Hankun scolded and scolded.

From the very beginning of the battle, the Tsarist Russian army was like a chicken blood, almost a fierce attack regardless of casualties, without giving the Qing army a chance to breathe, and it seemed that they had to take Aihui City in one go, which made Wang Hankun really incomprehensible.

Where would Wang Hankun know that at this moment, the other army of Tsarist Russia has been annihilated, and the annihilation of this army has directly led to the northern army of Tsarist Russia, from the commander Gribsky to the infantry brigade commander Major General Ivanovis in front of him, these senior generals of Tsarist Russia began to be afraid in their hearts.

It is precisely because they are afraid that they must take Aihui City, even at all costs, it is precisely because of this that Tsarist Russia is missing an army, and the Qing army is still defeated after being reinforced by a thousand water beads of equipment presented by Yue Weihua, which I am afraid Yue Weihua did not expect.

Yue Weihua really didn't expect it, which also made Yue Weihua, who was standing on the western slope of Aihui City more than 1,000 meters away and watching the battle, feel a little embarrassed.

"Commander, why don't I lead the team to reinforcements?" Zhou Dabiao said.

Two hours ago, after discussing the operational plan for attacking Hailan Pao with the others in combination with the actual map of Hailan Pao, Yue Weihua hurriedly rushed here with a special combat team and an artillery company, because he received a telegram saying that the battle in Aihui was fierce and that the Qing army was very likely to be unable to hold out.

However, two hours have passed, the Qing army is still sticking to the position, although the eastern outer city has been breached, but the defense of the inner city is still intact, which also allows Yue Weihua to see a different Qing army, although the absolute part of the Qing army has been decayed, has lost its fighting spirit, but at least the Qing army in front of it, still has an unyielding fighting spirit, can still fight to the death.

Yue Weihua raised his hand and looked at it, and found that it was already a quarter past four, although the Qing army's losses were not small, but it was not too difficult to say that it was dark to insist on, of course, with the passage of time, the attacks of Tsarist Russia became more and more fierce, and I am afraid that the losses of the Qing army would further increase.

Of course, if the Qing army wants to evacuate, it can go at any time, because although the west is close to the mountains, there are indeed mountain roads that are feasible, and Tsarist Russia did not send troops to attack on this road, it is obvious that they want to encircle the three missing one, and drive the Qing army out of Aihui City first, not to mention whether to pursue or not, at least fighting in the field, it is easier than attacking the city.

And if Yue Weihua chooses to intervene at this time, I am afraid that he will be startled, and when the Qing army withdraws, Lao Maozi will definitely not send heavy troops to pursue, after all, Yue Weihua is the first choice, and he still hopes to use the ambush circle of the tea shed to kill Lao Maozi's main force.

"Forget it, the Qing army should be able to withstand it." After a pause, Yue Weihua continued: "In this way, send a telegram to Sun Decheng and tell him that if he feels that the situation is not good, he may not need to wait until dark to contact Yang Fengxiang, and he can make it up to the moment, after all, he is in the city and knows the situation of the Qing army better." ”

"Yes, Commander." Zhou Dabiao responded, and then ordered to go down.

"Da Biao, this field artillery company of the artillery battalion, I will hand it over to you to command, one howitzer heavy artillery, six field guns, plus thirty mortars for your special combat team, I don't want to see those Tsarist ships on the dock leave, not even one."

Yue Weihua's trip, in addition to watching the battle and helping the Qing army if necessary, the most important thing is actually to arrange for Zhou Dabiao to lead the special combat team and artillery company to attack the fleet on the east bank of the river in Shaaihui City, at this moment at the mouth of the Tsarist Russian dock, a total of more than ten steamers, gunboats, cargo ships and tugboats, Yue Weihua gave Zhou Dabiao the task is to sink all these ships at the right time, at least let these ships lose power, because Yue Weihua does not want these Tsarist Russian troops to return to Hailanpao.

"Commander, don't worry, I'll take the right moment." Zhou Dabiao affirmed.

"Okay, then I'll leave first, Hailan Bubble's operation is about to start."

"It's a pity that this time I let Chen Jinjiang pick up the cheapest guy."

……

Aihui City.

The battle continued, and by about five o'clock, the Qing army had completely abandoned the positions in the outer city and retreated to the inner city.

At this time, Yang Fengxiang's white hair was messy, and the lion python robe was also stained with a lot of blood, but his eyes were still bright, and he seemed to sense that someone was watching the battle, and those eyes were also staring at the direction of the Four Seasons Fishing Village, and he fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said: "Hmph, it seems that the other army of Tsarist Russia is in trouble, and the Black Dragon Army is really not simple." ”

Wang Hankun also nodded, and echoed: "It's really not simple, in the early morning, I obviously heard a fierce battle in the direction of the Four Seasons Fishing Village, but it only lasted less than an hour before it stopped, although I don't know what the battle situation is, but I haven't seen the Tsarist Russian army in the direction of the Four Seasons Fishing Village, that at least means that they blocked the Tsarist Russian army all the way." ”

Yang Fengxiang nodded, how much he hoped in his heart that the Black Dragon Army had already won, and then the divine soldiers would descend from the sky to help him, but after thinking for a long time, he shook his head helplessly, and asked instead: "Jichang, how are our battle losses?" ”

"Old general, the east is the worst, the two battalions of soldiers and horses have gone to one battalion, and there are more than one battalion of soldiers killed in the north and south." Wang Hankun whispered.

"In this way, the battle damage has reached more than 30 percent, close to 40 percent, hey." Yang Fengxiang paused, and suddenly said with some sadness: "Jichang, our army is isolated here, and if we want to hold on to the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold it in the end, it seems that it is time to consider evacuating." ”

"Old general,......

"General, someone asks to see you."

Wang Hankun was talking, but was interrupted by Yang Fengxiang's personal guards, only to see him bring a young man to ask for a meeting, and this young man he knew, from the Black Dragon Army, one of the people in charge of escorting a thousand water beads last time.

"Sun Decheng, I've seen two generals." Sun Decheng stepped forward and arched his hand to show respect, and then said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"The little brother came just in time, I was just about to ask, I don't know how your army is fighting in the Four Seasons Fishing Village?" Yang Fengxiang hurriedly asked, I am afraid that even Yang Fengxiang himself did not expect that at this moment, he would actually treat the Black Dragon Army and the Qing Army as equals, rather than officials and bandits.

"Report to the old general, the Tsarist Russia in the direction of the Four Seasons Fishing Village has been ambushed."

Sun Decheng replied flatly, it seems that annihilating the army of Tsarist Russia is like swatting a fly to death, which is not worth mentioning, but Sun Decheng's attitude is not much arrogance, and it reflects more of a kind of self-confidence.

But Sun Decheng's words, in the ears of Yang Fengxiang and Wang Hankun, were shocked, and they did not block the army, but annihilated the army, which made the two of them feel very incredible and unbelievable, but if they think about it carefully, it seems to be reasonable, after all, the Black Dragon Army was able to destroy four or five thousand people in Tsarist Russia with three or four hundred people half a month ago, and now it has several battalions of soldiers and horses, so it is indeed reasonable to destroy thousands of Tsarist Russia.

However, since the Black Dragon Army annihilated the other army of Tsarist Russia, why did it delay coming to aid Aihui City, which made Yang Fengxiang feel a little unhappy in his heart, but Yang Fengxiang concealed it very well, and his many years of military career made him develop a bearing of honor and disgrace, and he was about to ask the reason, but he heard Wang Hankun already roaring angrily: "Since you can destroy the army of Tsarist Russia, why are you not coming to help for a long time, what is your intention?" ”
