"Boom-boom-" A shell exploded on the frozen ice of the Liaohe River, and a large hole was blown open in the ice at once. At the same time, a large area of the ice was cracked, and the Japanese army that was charging on the ice was planted into the river in a large area. This made the army miserable.

I thought that after the Liao River froze, the river would no longer be an obstacle, but it did become a huge trap. There are no obstacles on the flat ice, but the mirror-smooth ice cannot be fast. The warriors of the empire had to face the bullets of the Qing army on the one hand, and wrestle carefully on the unobstructed ice. The imperial warriors who couldn't run fast were shot on the ice of the Liao River one by one by the Qing army's rifles like moving targets. The massive ice collapse caused by the explosion of the Qing army's artillery shells was the greatest damage to the imperial warriors.

Since the siege of the remnants of the Qing army, the possibility of capturing the Qing emperor himself has also increased. So which unit should this glory belong to, after the Liaohe Army went through a battle in the open and the dark, the Ninth Brigade was still far away at the mouth of the Caohe River, and the Fifth Division, which suffered the greatest battle losses and had the weakest troops, could only cross the Liaohe River again to the east. Fortifications were deployed on the east bank of the Dalufang Village River to prevent the Qing army from fleeing eastward. Nogi Noshinori's brigade and the 1st Division will attack the village of Lufang and seize the last artillery position of the Qing army. However, the commander of the 3rd Division, Katsura Taro, was left in the town of Ganotai by General Oyama Iwa because of the "recurrence" of his injuries, blocking the reinforced Qing army and waiting for an opportunity to seize the headquarters of the Qing army in Tamuratai to obtain supplies. And General Dashanyan will personally lead an integrated brigade to storm Da Lufang Village from the front. Because the general of Dashan Yan wants to hold the highest glory of capturing the Qing emperor tightly in his hands.

The command of the First Army of the Qing Dynasty was supposed to be Nozu Michikan, but since the Battle of Niuzhuang seconded the Nogi Noshinori Brigade to the Second Army of Dashanyan, Dashanyan has become the supreme commander of the entire Liaohe Army. Nozu Michikan was actually indignant in his heart, except for the first division of the entire Second Army, the main force was all the first army, and the first army also divided troops to attack the Liao River. At present, the Fourth Division, which is the most complete part of the army, is unscathed and is openly suppressing bandits in the whole state. However, Nozu Michikan had no choice, his troops suffered the most casualties, and Oyama Iwa was the highest-ranking officer in the army.

Since breaking through the first line of defense of the Qing army, the 3rd Division has made no progress for a whole day, and can only let the 5th Division cooperate in the attack, but in the end it all retreated.

"Retreat." Nozu Michikan reluctantly gave the order.

The shouts of "kill" sounded from behind the Fifth Division. Could it be that the reinforcements of the Qing army on the front line of Liaoyang have arrived? If it is true, then the Liaohe war will be completely lost.

"Report." Konosuke Nohara ran forward: "Our army is attacked by a Qing army of about 500 people behind it. Judging from the clothing, it may be Liu Sheng's retreat department who abandoned the position in Niuzhuang and broke through. ”

"Liu Shengxiu? Why did he attack at this time? Did he think that with his 500 people, he could solve the siege of the Qing Emperor? ”

"Judging from the current situation, it should not be. This Qing army is breaking through with all its might. Probably trying to rush in. Nohara Konosuke thought for a while and said, "This Qing army is thinly clothed and lacks ammunition. My opinion is that it is better to let them in. Increase the burden on the Qing army. ”

"Report-" A herald bent over Guangxu with his helmet in his arms and ran behind him: "Report, more than 300 people of Liu Shengxiu's Ming Army under Lord Liu have rushed through the encirclement of the Fifth Division of the Liao Army on the east bank of the Liao River, and all of them have entered. ”

Well? Guangxu, who had just fired a shot, shook his hand when he heard the news, and failed to hit the retreating Yue army. Putting away his gun, he crouched down the wall of the trench.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty of a capital crime." Liu Shengxiu knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Liu Shengxiu? You're not afraid of death. How many people did you bring up? ”

"There are only more than 300 people left in the Ming army to which Weichen belongs, and all of them have arrived."

"More than 300 people. A lot. Guangxu rubbed his hands excitedly: "Did you bring anything to eat?" Hurry up and pull it out. ”

Liu Shengxiu, who had never dared to look up, raised his head violently to look at the emperor, and shook his head in panic.

"Didn't bring anything? So what are you going to do? Anyway, bring a few vegetable leaves. ”

Is there no food here? At this moment, the gang who saw that the army had retreated came up with a big bucket: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat." ”

"I won't eat it." Guangxu looked indignant.

Liu Shengxiu came up from time to time with a bowl of fragrant sweet potato porridge, which made Liu Shengxiu, who had not eaten well for more than ten days, his eyes glow. I didn't think that the squad leader said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the slaves have done their best." But with these ingredients, the slave can't help it, the emperor, you can eat as much as you want, and you will have the strength to eat it. ”

"I'll talk about it when I can't stand it anymore." Guangxu covered his mouth, pointed at Liu Shengxiu and said, "Give it to him, you can see that Lord Liu's eyes are glowing." ”

The squad leader of the gang squad really handed it to Liu Shengxiu. Liu Shengxiu, who was frightened, hurriedly said: "The food is insufficient, the emperor has not eaten yet, how dare Weichen and others." ”

Liu Shengxiu's words drew laughter. So Guangxu said: "Who told you that there is a shortage of food." Let go of eating, tube enough. I don't eat because it's disgusting. After Liu Shengxiu finished eating, he said his experience after the Battle of Niuzhuang.

In the battle of Niuzhuang, the main force of the army attacked his position. After more than 7,000 reorganized Ming Army and most of the officers and soldiers of the two battalions supported by Song Qing died, and Song Qing set up a supervision team behind him. Liu Shengxiu, who had no way to retreat but was unwilling to die in battle, could only take the remaining nearly 1,000 Ming troops to break through the Yue army and go south. Zuo Guigui, who wanted to go to Yingkou, was timid halfway through. He stayed all the way east to attack the supply line of the Yue army near Dagu Mountain, hoping that this credit could make up for the sin of abandoning the position, not seeking to receive a reward in the future, but only to return to his hometown in exchange for a life. It was in Dagu Mountain that he learned that the bandits of Dagu Mountain and the new army that the emperor had arranged here in advance, and it was here that they finally fought a few battles happily, and each battle must be completely annihilated. Last night, he was called back to Dagushan, and the radio station set up in Dagushan learned that the Liaoyang First Division had completely annihilated the Ninth Brigade of the Liaoyang Army and was rapidly advancing towards Tianzhuangtai. After being happy, Dagushan found that he couldn't contact Tianzhuangtai, and he couldn't even contact Jinzhou and Liaoyang, who had just sent a report. At this time, he offered to lead the officers and soldiers of the army to forcibly rush through the defense line of the army and inform the emperor of the matter.

"Actually, I already knew about it this morning. Not only that, but I also knew that the combined fleet of the Japanese army had also been wiped out. But I didn't say anything. ”

"The emperor withdraws. Retreating to the east, Weichen made sure that the emperor left safely. ”

"With just a few hundred of you, if it weren't for the army's intention to let you in, you wouldn't have been able to come in." Guangxu turned around and left: "Let's see, I won't let me leave anymore when I hear the news." Guangxu understood that Liu Shengxiu did this in order to save his surname. In this way, it is not possible to kill a general who is the first to rush into the encirclement regardless of his surname.

"Charge, charge. All the troops charged......" Dashan Yan exclaimed with a twisted face and resentment.

Thirty meters, that's thirty meters away. The forward troops of the Yue Army, which had opened the gap, rushed into the position of the Qing army, and the Qing Emperor personally led his troops to counterattack. It is hateful that the follow-up troops of the Yue Army failed to keep up in time. The forward troops were all annihilated in the trenches of the Qing army. The follow-up attack force was only 30 meters away, which made the army that charged regardless of casualties for a day fall short.

"Attack, attack." The red-eyed Dashan Rock kept letting the troops attack. Dashan Yan told himself that there were still thirty meters left.

"Report, urgent report. The 1st Division of the Qing Army completely annihilated the 9th Brigade of our army. The forward troops were just about to arrive at Haicheng...... "a tired and out of breath herald came to the headquarters of the Tianzhuang Tai army and shouted loudly.

Qing reinforcements are coming? In front is the position personally commanded by the emperor of the Qing State, and in the back is the desperate attack of the Qing army of various parts of the Liaohe River. The Yue army, which was already walking on the tightrope, if the Qing army had another new force, then the Liaodong army would not be far from annihilation. The herald's words made the entire base camp panic.

"Yaga, this can't be." An officer walked out and slapped the herald twice.

"Hey." The herald lowered his head: "Your Excellency Dazuo, my Ninth Brigade was completely wiped out at the mouth of the Caohe River, and I was ordered by the commander of the Oshima Brigade to carry a letter written by the brigade commander to His Excellency General Dashanyan." ”

"Just leave it to me." Dasa stretched out his hand dissatisfied.

"Your Excellency, when the Ninth Brigade was destroyed, the commander of the Oshima Brigade asked me to personally deliver the letter to His Excellency the General."

Smack. Dazuo gave the herald two slaps again: "Don't mention the Ninth Brigade again." Come in with me. ”

In the ruins in the distance, four eyes were firmly fixed on the front of the temporary headquarters of the army. He let out a long breath when he saw the herald enter. The plan is half the battle, and now it's up to the heralds to perform.

"You're a herald of the Ninth Brigade? Report your rank and name. Osa asked, staring at the herald.

"Your Excellency, down there is Takeo Yamada. Signal Corps of the Headquarters of the 9th Brigade Regiment, with the rank of sergeant. The herald said according to the rehearsed words: "Your Excellency, this is a very important letter. The commander of the Oshima Brigade asked me to hand it over to His Excellency the General himself. I hope to see His Excellency the General as soon as possible. Please. With that, the herald bowed deeply.

"You wait here......" Dasa snorted. Turning to leave, he was unhappy with the news that the heralds were shouting outside the gate for the Ninth Brigade**, because it would hit the soldiers.

In the headquarters, the herald looked at the staff officers and generals in the room and nodded with satisfaction. It's worth it.

Oyama Iwa raised his head, looked at the herald and asked, "Where is the letter from Lord Oshima?" ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know General Oyama Yan. Since you don't have a military rank, I can't confirm if you're Lord Oyama Rock. ”

"Yaga. This is His Excellency General Oyama Iwa. Dazuo angrily pushed the herald.

Smack, a four-square thing fell off the herald. Everyone was stunned, it was a miniature version of the explosives bag. The herald was quick-eyed, reached out and pulled the fuse of the explosive pack, and pulled out the pistol on his body. Fired several shots at the rocks.

At the same time as the herald took out his pistol, he himself also reacted and raised his gun to shoot at the herald. After a burst of gunfire in the headquarters, the herald fell, his face full of regret. A staff officer stood in front of Da Shanyan and saved Da Shanyan's surname.

"Boom, boom". Two explosions in quick succession blew up the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army. After the explosion, the headquarters was in shambles, and Dashan Yan pushed away the body of the staff officer on his body and looked at the headquarters that had been unrecognizable. The fire had lit the map, and everywhere there were the wails of the wounded. The entire command was filled with a strong smell of blood. The guards outside the door had already rushed in, cleaning up the mess of the headquarters while carrying the wounded away. There were also three or five guards escorting Dashan Yan out of the headquarters.

"Baga, how did the Qing soldiers get in?" Dashan Yan was extremely angry. But he was responded to by a burst of gunfire.

The Qing soldiers in ambush in the distance were not ordinary soldiers, they were all special forces in the name of a reconnaissance company. Company commander Yang Dongzi has seen a photo of Dashan Rock. After the explosion, he saw Dashan Yan come out of the headquarters intact, and knew that the soldiers who went in still failed to complete their mission. So he put the big mountain rock in the sight and shot. Four hundred meters away, a bullet flew out of the chamber of the gun and hit the staff officer who had just passed by Dashan Rock, knocking him down with a single shot.

**, missed. and let Dashan Rock escape. The guards threw Dashanyan to the ground, Yang Dongzi knew that there was no chance, but he did not choose to retreat first, but continued to shoot, aiming at whoever had a higher rank. The two guns of the Qing army's special forces immediately sent the officers of the Yue Army who had just escaped from the explosion into hell again, as if they had been looted and corpses were everywhere.

Bang Bang Bang ...... Dense gunfire rang out, and the officers of the army, who were still panicked in the explosion, were knocked down again. Panic inevitably happened, and the guards fired in all directions without a target, and ran and dodged in all directions. There are only two guns in the Qing army, and they can't take full care of the army. The confusion lasted only a few minutes, and the reacting soldiers began to attack the place where the guns rang out.

"Withdraw." Yang Dongzi began to fight and retreat, and another soldier followed.

Suddenly, another soldier fell. Yang Dongzi turned around to pull the soldier up.

"Company commander, let's go, I'll cut it off." The soldier gritted his teeth and said hurriedly against a broken wall. His own bullet hit him in the right chest.

Yang Dongzi looked at the soldier's bleeding chest, just patted him lightly on the shoulder, nodded and turned away. On the battlefield, there was no time to express any emotion, so I could only keep the life and death of the brothers in mind.

The Liao River is right in front of you, as long as you can jump into the river. On the river beach, dense bullets shot snowflakes at Yang Dongzi's feet. Finally, when Yang Dongzi jumped high into the hole left in the river, a bullet hit him in the leg.

"Plop" Yang Dongzi jumped into the icy river. It left a bright red blood mark on the ice.

"Your Excellency, one of the two Qing soldiers in ambush has been killed. Another was injured and jumped into the river. "The pursuing soldiers are back.

But Dashan Yan didn't care about this question: "How is the front-line attacking force?" ”

"It's retreated, and the command has just been attacked. The attacking troops stopped the attack because they did not have an order. ”

"Yaga. Damn ** pigs. "Oyama Iwa looked in the direction of the front line. Thirty meters, that's thirty meters away. (To be continued.) )
