Chaoyang Gate, as the most important gate on the east side of the inner city, has always been very heavy in defense tasks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Liao Yuhai, who was guarding the city gate, had witnessed four helicopters flying into the city more than an hour earlier, and a helicopter had left over his head shortly after. Instinctively feeling that things were not good, the sound of guns and cannons in the Forbidden City had not yet reached him, and his immediate boss He Shen had been captured in the palace, Liao Yuhai was a little overwhelmed.

The henchmen he sent out to inquire about the news did not rush back, and he did not dare to close the city gate without permission, so he stayed up until suddenly a henchman broke in front of him.

"My lord, the big thing is not good, the dust is flying outside the city, a convoy is like a tiger and a dragon, going straight to my Chaoyang Gate, the speed is really terrifying, please show me!"

Liao Yuhai was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly ran out of the city tower and looked down on the city wall. I saw a strange convoy, all of which seemed to be iron-clad strange cars, without cattle and horses to pull them, and they were actually galloping wildly, and the direction was towards his Chaoyang Gate.

"What are you waiting for, close the city gates, close the city gates!"

Liao Yuhai didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked the city guards to close the city gate, but closing the city gate was not an easy job, the city gate was huge and cumbersome, and the soldiers moved purely by manpower, which was very difficult, and the iron monster car that rushed over there was faster than the speed of the city defense gate.

Just in a moment, an iron car slammed into the hole in the city wall, and the gate was only two-thirds closed, and it was hit open by the iron car, the front of the iron car had been deformed, but it was still sprinting frantically, and rushed directly through the city gate. before stopping.

Liao Yuhai was already frightened, he hurriedly looked into the city from outside the city, but saw the city guards wielding broadswords and spears. There is no way to deal with the tin car. But the iron cart suddenly opened a few small holes on its body, and then the muzzle of the black hole stretched out, and it was a shot at the green battalion of the city defense.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, and a guy got out of the top of the tin cart and grabbed what looked like a gun. The sound of continuous firing came, and the guns on the roof of the car emitted a string of tongues of fire, which swept directly above the castle tower. This is a 20-mm cannon. The rate of fire was limited, but it was enough to kill the eager archers on the ramparts.

Liao Yuhai could see clearly, a few soldiers standing on the city tower. was blown up and fell directly from the city tower, Liao Yuhai hurriedly retreated, and the shells of the machine gun had already hit, smashing a few holes in the corner of the city wall where he was standing just now. If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly. I'm afraid I was killed just now.

And one after another iron carts rushed in from the city gate, those green battalion soldiers wanted to close the city gate again, but they couldn't do it at all, and the iron carts continued to shoot deadly bullets, beating the group of soldiers guarding the Chaoyang Gate to a direct collapse.

The one who attacked the city was naturally the Tiger Regiment under the command of Ju Guochong.

Directly reopening the city gate was actually a complete accident, and Ju Guochong asked his troops to speed up the assault. The mechanized infantry rode straight to Chaoyangmen, which Ju Guochong never expected. Qing Bing's reaction was so slow that he didn't even close the city gate, he immediately asked the forward troops to step on the accelerator to the end to try to see if he could rush over, and the result really let the 77-type half-track car in front of him rush into the city gate.

On the one hand, these green battalions guarding the Beijing Division, they really didn't expect that someone would come to attack the city, when they saw the rushing convoy a few kilometers away, the first thing they thought of was to report to Shangguan, and when Liao Yuhai came out to see, he had already reacted to what was going on, but the armored car was already in front of the city gate. If they encounter an ordinary cold weapon unit, or even a musket unit before motorization, this reaction cannot be considered slow, and even when they see a large number of cavalry, they may close the door as soon as possible, but what they see is a batch of iron cars that they have never seen, which makes many people's brains take the opportunity first, and when they realize the malicious intent of these iron cars, it is too late.

When more and more Type 77 armored vehicles and Type 75 armored vehicles rushed into the city, the Qing army completely lost the ability to defend, and the heavy machine guns and machine guns on the roof directly suppressed the archers and shotgunners on the underground tower and could not return fire, and the infantry who jumped out of the armored car began to attack the Qing army in chaos with guns.

It was a real hand-to-hand encounter, and the Tiger soldiers were often no more than twenty or thirty meters away from the enemy, and the S1 rifles they were holding might have fired a few shots before crashing into the enemy.

A Tang soldier shot down a Qing soldier, and another Qing soldier pierced him with a spear, the Tang soldier was not restless, and with a rifle in his hand, he swung the Qing soldier's spear away, and then poked the bayonet into the throat of the Qing soldier in a standard assassination action.

Mechanized infantry is not uniformly equipped with automatic weapons, although there are often soldiers who use light machine guns and submachine guns in a squad, but many more still use manual rifles, and at such a close distance, the S1 can't even finish a plate of bullets, and the soldiers need to fight bayonets.

And the Tiger Regiment is worthy of their banner, and the soldiers are as powerful as tigers, even if they lose their most advantageous modern guns, their courage and tactics are not comparable to the Qing soldiers of this era. The bullet pierced the body of the Qing soldiers, the bayonet stabbed it in and pulled it out, the fierce Tang army immediately made the Qing army suffer huge losses, no need for Liao Yuhai to shout retreat, some of these Qing soldiers have already pulled their legs and ran, and some are even more single, directly threw away the knife and gun in their hands, and lay on the ground to forgive.

Ju Guochong didn't expect the battle to go so smoothly, he only used less than a company of troops to capture the Chaoyang Gate, and as soon as the Chaoyang Gate opened, it was equivalent to the Jingshi like an undefended white sheep, trembling in front of his scissors.

"Order the first battalion to immediately launch an attack on the Forbidden City, and the second and third battalions will seize all the gates of the inner city, control the entire inner city, and prohibit anyone from going out." Ju Guochong issued an order in the command car, this is the established policy, he knew that the commander-in-chief of Bai, thinking of the eight banners in the city, regardless of size, was to unify the network and directly send them to Nanguwei Island (Hokkaido) to develop new colonies for the Tang Dynasty, and lost the core of the Eight Banners population, the actual control of the Manchu Qing over this country will be greatly weakened, and it will also provide convenience for the Tang Dynasty to indirectly control the administration and trade of this country.

At this time, he also got new developments in the rear battle situation - the Second Brigade of the Army had defeated the defenders of Tianjin Town, the Zhaolie Regiment had approached Tongzhou, and more reinforcements were arriving. (To be continued.) )
