It is not the opponent of the Liaodong Army, and it may fall into a desperate situation at any time under the counterattack of the Liaodong Army, and the commander subconsciously thinks of retreating. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After glancing at the subordinates around him, who had begun to be chaotic, the commander immediately ordered the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the imperial court, requesting a retreat.

The imperial court that received the telegram subconsciously planned to refuse, because Zaitao was still in Liaodong. As soon as they retreated, it was possible that the Liaodong Army defending Shanhaiguan would return to Liaodong and attack Zaitao from behind, cutting off Zaitao's back road.

But when the imperial court tried to contact Zaitao by radio to confirm Zaitao's achievements in Liaodong.

A circumstance arose that shocked the imperial court.

Zaitao lost contact, if it was just that Zaitao could not contact the radio station he carried, it might have been an accident.

But after the radio stations equipped by the two towns under Zaitao could not be contacted, they could not be explained by two simple words.

The first thing that came to mind of the worried imperial court was the Beiyang Naval Division.

However, the Beiyang Naval Division also lost contact, and none of the more than a dozen ships could be contacted.

Even if the important ministers of the imperial court who knew the news understood that something must have happened to Zaitao, who went deep into Liaodong.

Now that Zaitao has had an accident, the diversion attack in Tongliao and Shanhaiguan has become meaningless.

In order to avoid accidents in the hands of more officers and troops in the hands of the Liaodong Army, the imperial court not only issued a retreat order to the attacking troops in the direction of Shanhaiguan by telegram, but also issued a retreat order to the attacking troops in the two towns in the Tongliao direction.

As for the Japanese troops in the direction of Lushun, in order not to offend the Japanese, the imperial court also reported the battle situation in the direction of Liaodong as soon as possible.

The artillery was lost, and the main force was also defeated and retreated under the counterattack of the Liaodong Army. As soon as they received the order, the officers and troops in the direction of Shanhaiguan began to retreat in the direction of Shanhaiguan desperately.

Kang Jie, who saw every move of the officials and soldiers, immediately reacted: "It's not good, the officials and soldiers want to escape!" ”

The chief of staff next to him analyzed: "This is too close to Shanhaiguan, as long as the officers and soldiers want to retreat, we can't stop it at all!" ”

Although he knew that the chief of staff analyst was right, Kang Jie still said unwillingly: "No, you can't let the officers and soldiers run away like this, it's too cheap for them." ”

The chief of staff smiled bitterly and said, "Division commander, I think it's almost there." With a dissatisfied division, we not only killed and wounded thousands of officers and soldiers, but also took their artillery units. Even if their main force runs away, the thousands of defeated soldiers who have already been scattered by us will be captured by us sooner or later! ”

"Also, the soldiers are exhausted by the continuous fighting. If the fight continues, I'm afraid that the soldiers won't be able to hold on. ”

Kang Jie still insisted: "No, we still have a force that is useless, and this army is hiding outside Shanhaiguan to monitor every move of the Shanhaiguan defenders. ”

"Divisional guard battalion and reconnaissance company? However, these two troops were not fully established at all, and the total strength was less than 300 men. ”

Kang Jie's eyes quickly shot out two fine rays of light and replied: "There are no more soldiers, in the fine!" ”

"Although there are only less than 300 people, they can sneak into Shanhaiguan and guard the city gate for twenty minutes, no, only ten minutes, and there is no problem at all."

The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and was immediately frightened by Kang Jie's words just now, and then asked Kang Jie: "Guarding the gate of Shanhaiguan, division commander, what do you want to do, don't you mess around?" ”

"I didn't mess around!" Kang Jie said with an arrogant face.

"If Shanhaiguan is in our hands, as long as we place a regiment of defenders at Shanhaiguan, no matter how many troops the officers and soldiers send to attack us, we can block them in the pass. Like now, let the officers and troops directly enter the pass, we rely on the defense line to defend, and we must guard against them everywhere to prevent them from attacking us from other places. ”

"But the commander didn't agree to let us fight the mountain customs!" The chief of staff intends to persuade Kang Jie one last time.

Kang Jie thought about it first, and then replied very decisively: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not affected." ”

"If I gave up such a great opportunity, I would be sorry for myself. So it was decided. ”

After Kang Jie made a decision, the chief of staff no longer stopped it, and seized the time with Kang Jie to discuss how to take Shanhaiguan.

When the main force of the official army with six or seven thousand people left quickly broke away from contact with the Liaodong Army and retreated in the direction of Shanhaiguan.

Several cavalry signal soldiers quickly rushed to Shanhaiguan with orders.

When the main force of the officers and troops was still five miles away from Shanhaiguan, the guard battalion and reconnaissance company had already received the latest orders.

More than 200 elites quickly changed into official and military uniforms, lurking on the only way for the officers and troops to retreat to Shanhaiguan.

After most of the officers and soldiers ran in front of the guard battalion and the reconnaissance company, more than 200 Liaodong troops wearing official uniforms immediately drilled out of the hiding point and mixed with the retreating troops.

Because on the way of retreat, scattered rearguard units constantly caught up with the main force, and the main force of the officers and troops retreating along the pipeline habitually regarded the guard battalion and reconnaissance company as the scattered rearguard troops, and continued to retreat without asking.

In less than half an hour, they rushed into the pass along the wide open gate of Shanhaiguan.

When the last officer and soldier retreated to Shanhaiguan, and the more than ten officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were just about to close the heavy city gate, the soldiers of the last dozen or so reconnaissance companies moved.

As the elite who were eliminated from the special operations detachment, although they did not become special combat members, their skills undoubtedly far surpassed those of ordinary fighters.

As soon as they made a move, more than a dozen officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were knocked unconscious without even saying a word and fell in the city gate.

After quietly taking the city gate, the task of more than 200 people was not completed.

They were also to occupy a section of the city wall that stretched two hundred meters on each side, centered on the city gate.

Otherwise, under the fire of dozens of light and heavy machine guns of the officers and soldiers at the head of the city, even if they opened the city gate, the follow-up troops would not be able to rush to the city gate, let alone enter the Shanhaiguan.

More than 200 Liaodong troops dressed in official uniforms were divided into two and rushed along the stairs to the head of the city.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city finally found some clues.

A sentry commander blocked the staircase and asked the commander of the guard battalion who was getting closer and closer, "Who are you?" You don't know you can't go up to the city wall without an order! Get out of the way now. ”

As soon as the officer and soldier sentry spoke, it immediately attracted the attention of several soldiers around.

Although there was no order, these soldiers still subconsciously gathered around the sentry officer, and the rifles in the hands of the soldiers were also aimed at the guard battalion intentionally or unintentionally.

The battalion commander clearly saw that the rifles were in a loaded state, and as long as he continued to charge forward or made any unfriendly move, the sentry commander at the staircase gave an order, and the soldiers would shoot at him.

At this time, what the guard battalion commander can do is to strike first.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still a trace of doubt on the other party's face, he quickly raised his pistol and fired.

In just two seconds, all 20 bullets were fired by themselves, and then flew in a fan shape towards several officers and soldiers. (To be continued.) )
