On all the high ground on the north side of the avenue, a storm of bullets was pouring on the Russian troops in the middle of the road, and on several hills near the avenue, rows of grenades were thrown down like locusts, and there were incendiary canisters that the Russians rarely saw. In an instant, the marching Tsarist Russians seemed to have been splashed with a basin of boiling water, scurrying around.

"It's incredible that our battalion is walking in the middle of the brigade, near the high ground on the north side of the main road, the troops in front of us have gone up to search, but I don't know when the Taiping Red Army actually went up again. At the moment when the sound of gunfire began, I felt as if I was almost covered in the rain of minced flesh and severed arms falling from my head. But the most terrifying thing is that I don't know what kind of illusion these Orientals are doing, some of the things they throw can ignite a sea of fire when they land, and don't even think about extinguishing them when they get on them. ”

A soldier of the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment later recalled, "I quickly came to my senses from my daze, quickly rolled into a ditch on the south side of the avenue, and was tightly crowded with several soldiers who also rolled down." Due to the heavy rain on the first day, the ditch was full of water, and no one cared, just lying on their stomachs, and their bodies were cramping. Looking at many of our comrades who were still making all kinds of lewd jokes not long ago, and didn't seem to take war seriously, now they have all turned into burning people, running around, rolling around, and crying in pain, only here can bring us more security. The sober commanders began to shout for a counterattack, but none of us moved. The sound of gunfire and the explosion of explosives dropped by the Red Army on the hill, and the wails of our soldiers, they were constantly intertwined, and their echoes echoed through the valley. It was an indescribable, suffocating, maddening sound, so shaking that the whole earth was shaking, crashing, shaking, and it was like a call to hell......"

Many of the survivors of this battle of the Tsarist soldiers, in addition to being inexplicable about being ambushed, have the deepest memories of those "bullets" that would fall to the ground and catch fire.

“…… Boom, all that burst out immediately was fire, followed by thick smoke, and a pungent smell also spread. Just a few yards ahead, the whole area was turned into a sea of fire. In the sea of fire rushed soldiers with distorted and terrible faces, first dancing and bumping into each other, then rolling all over the ground, struggling and crying in pain, the kind of screams that were even more terrifying than the sound of gunfire and explosions......"

“…… Our squad was huddled on the side of the road, a somewhat protruding area to the south, making way for the artillery team coming up behind. Above our heads, a row of black things suddenly flew down from the hills to the north of the road, and with a series of loud noises, suddenly the flames were scattered and black smoke rushed out. It's terrifying, it's like sitting on a huge stove, and it feels like the heat wave is going to suck up the water all over your body, and the flying sparks are sticking wherever you go. People, plants and trees, even the cannons that have been blown up, are actually there...... I was swept under the road by the explosion and luckily saved my life. At that time, time seemed to stand still, and every qiē seemed to be like a dream. I didn't dare to look up at anything, just held my head in my hands and buried my body behind a rock that wasn't very big. I really realized what it means to have a broken heart, and I only had one thought in my head, which was to hate to go into the ground......"

Minabjeski, who had just left the west bank of the White Horse River, also went through a process from dazed to frightened. The shells that rained down on the mountains to the north smashed fiercely into his marching column, and the officers and men of some of the artillery units and cattle that were not far in front of him watched as they were torn apart and staggered by the explosion, and the rubble and dust splashed all over his face. The power of this sudden artillery fire was so powerful that not only made the war horse he sat down jump wildly, but even he, an old soldier who had been in battle for a long time, couldn't help but tremble all over, and almost didn't fall off his horse.

"What's going on?" Minabjeski yelled at the adjutant.

"Boom......" The bullets fired like the wind on the hill dozens of yards away hit the guards around him on their backs, and they answered him.

"My lord, get out of the way, we've been ambushed!" Liao Liusha grabbed Minabjesky's horse by the head and tried to rush down the overgrown slope down the road, which was already extremely dangerous.

"Bastard!" Minabjeski raised the whip in his hand, slammed it on the adjutant's hand, stubbornly circled the horse's head, and stood proud. Needless to say, Minabjeski knew that he had been caught in a planned ambush, and that all he could see and hear was bullets from the high ground to the north, and that he had been beaten to the ground and had been hiding in Tibet. He just didn't understand, this ambush was so strange, what did the bastards in charge of the search in front of him do in the first place?

"Ordered quickly, the Polkadot battalion quickly deployed and anchored. The artillery of the 8th Regiment behind was ordered to support the 1st Battalion of the 8th Regiment with artillery fire, and immediately launch an attack on the enemy troops on the high ground in front of them, first consolidating our rear flank, in order to support the counterattacks of the battalions along the way against the ground in front of them...... "Minabjeski is worthy of being a veteran soldier, and after a short period of confusion and surprise, he immediately regained his former composure. When giving this series of orders, he looked at the panicked crowd left and right, and even subconsciously looked behind him.

"The colonel is a standard soldier, and he is a rare and only the best commander in the Weihai garrison. If the entire army deployment in Weihai had been able to adopt the colonel's opinion, at least it would not have lost so quickly. As Colonel Minabjeski's aide-de-camp, Liao Liusha seemed to have a comprehensive view of the battle, "The unexpected appearance of the enemy, and the absolutely cruel blow, did not cause the colonel to panic, and he wanted to immediately organize an effective counterattack against the enemy on the high ground to the north." Since the colonel usually attaches great importance to the training of the army, after a short period of panic, all battalions are indeed desperately trying to gain the initiative on the battlefield and compete for their own commanding heights. However, this was only wishful thinking, and not long after the first blow, the Taiping Red Army condescendingly rushed down with sharp horns sounding on the heights to the west, and shouts that made people listen to the crispy scalps. I had noticed that before this, the Colonel had glanced at the south, which still seemed quiet, and there seemed to be confusion and worry in it. Sure enough, something even more terrible happened. On the high ground and in the valley to the south, men and horses of the Taiping Red Army appeared, especially along the river bank, and large groups of cavalry stood out...... Actually, I still believe that if the men hadn't been killed from behind us, the Colonel would have at least taken us back to the east bank of the river......"

On the battlefield, there are no ifs, only inevitabilities. In this narrow strip of land that is only five miles from east to west, and is compressed into less than one mile from north to south, it is destined to become a huge tomb where these more than 3,000 Tsarist ghosts are buried.

When the officers and men of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire were overwhelming on the ridges of the mountains in the north, they raised their rifles with bright bayonets on them, accompanied by the tsunami-like "For the sake of the Celestial Empire, advance!" Like a tiger pounced on its food and fearlessly rushed towards the Russian soldiers who also compared the bayonet to a sacred blade, they took the initiative to abandon the Jinji Mountain defense line, and most of them had already withdrawn from the special battalion of the Red Fourth Division on the west bank of the Xiaoyao River, and turned over to kill the river again.

At the critical moment when the frightened Tsarist Russians, who were hiding in the ditches and even crawling in the muddy water, and were burned by the flames on the avenue, gritted their teeth and prepared to fight to the death with the approaching opponents, with a burst of artillery and gunfire, the sound of military trumpets and shouts suddenly rose, and the two regiments of the Red Army Teaching Brigade of the Celestial Empire rushed out from the mountains and valleys in the south, and stabbed the Tsarists in the back again.
