On the evening of January 22, 1864, under the fierce artillery preparations, the Chinese Empire bombarded all the positions of the Russian army on the first line of Shanhaiguan, and extended the firepower to the second line of defense of the Russian army, thinking that the 7th Guards Infantry Division was stationed in a col behind the defensive line, which was precisely within the range of the 150-mm heavy artillery of the Chinese Empire.

The main reason why the Russian army has not been attacked before is because there is only about one division headquarters and a battalion or so of alert troops in the col, after a few days of shelling, Major General Ivanyevich of the Seventh Guards Infantry Division transferred his two main regiments into a very safe mountain col, since the prey has all entered the range of the net, the Chinese Empire will naturally not be polite, and a burst of ten minutes of artillery fire will cover the division headquarters of the Seventh Guards Infantry Division and the two main infantry regiments.

The Russians had not yet recovered from this huge disaster, and the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and regiments directly under the headquarters deployed by the Chinese Empire on the front began to storm the six support points of the Russian front! With the support of the 75-mm field artillery, the infantry of the Chinese Empire quickly passed through the first line of defense that had been bombed countless times and quickly advanced to the second line of defense, and at this moment, the fire of the 75-mm field artillery also followed the fire transfer of the 105mm howitzer.

The general-purpose machine gun team and mortar group followed the rolling flow of people attacking and struggled to move forward quickly! In the dark night, the panicked Russian soldiers were shooting indiscriminately, the officers were blowing sharp whistles calling their subordinates, the Russian army's second-line positions were in unprecedented chaos, the shells above their heads were still falling, and the figures of white flowers had appeared not far away, and the soldiers of the Chinese Empire had appeared at the forefront of the Russian army in white and gray snow covert suits with rifles with bayonets.

With a few yellow flares into the air, the artillery bombardment of the Chinese Imperial side suddenly stopped, but then there was an overwhelming wave of grenades, and then there were the Chinese Imperial soldiers who jumped into the trenches with Mauser pistols and sapper shovels like dumplings to join the hand-to-hand combat, the Russian soldiers suffered a big loss in the melee, the rifles and bayonets in their hands were far less useful than the other party's Mauser pistols, and the Mauser pistols of the Chinese Empire were all issued with bronze six-petal bullets, and the power of this bullet was several times greater than the so-called dummy bullet.

The blood was swaying freely in the cold and snowy night, and the sounds of fighting, howling, shouting and killing, as well as the creepy wails of the wounded, all made people chill unconsciously! The non-stop thud of a Mauser pistol, the numbing click of a sapper's shovel into a human skull, between the sacrifice of blood and life, the Russians slowly began to show the timidity of a few people, like the first dominoes!

In the cold winter night, the blood brought out by the bayonet piercing the human body was quickly frozen, and the soldiers who had lost their vitality fell crooked in the trenches, although the resistance of the Russian army was very tenacious, but compared with the attack of the Chinese Imperial soldiers who had an absolute advantage in weapons, the assault was more rapid and abnormal, and in the heavy dark night, the soldiers of the two countries fought with different languages and all the weapons that could be used.

On the night of January 22, 1864, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Chinese Empire held weapons, with full enthusiasm for the reunification of the country, braved the severe cold of more than minus 20 degrees Celsius, launched a general attack on the Russian garrison of the entire line of Shanhaiguan. Cry wolf! Cry wolf!

After countless times, the Russians also began to become numb, and they were most concerned about where they had not been shelled by the Chinese Empire, where it was warmer and safer, and now the wolves are really coming!

Marshal Chekov looked at the panicked Ikov and rebuked: "Don't be in a hurry, slow down, make things clear!" Did the Chinese Empire attack? How many troops? What is the situation at the front? ”

Marshal Chekov asked a series of questions that stunned Ikov, and Ikov swallowed a mouthful of spit and said helplessly: "Your Excellency Marshal, the Chinese Empire has launched an attack on all fronts, all our positions have been broken through, and now the third line of defense is in danger!" Retreat! I can't leave at night! ”

Marshal Chekov grabbed Ikov by the collar and pulled him down, and said angrily: "Organize troops to immediately reinforce the front!" Immediately organize a counterattack to stabilize the third line of defense, and launch a counterattack on the second line of defense to reclaim the second line of defense! ”

Ikov was slightly stunned when he heard Marshal Chekov's words, and then said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency my marshal, now the second line of defense has become the position of the artillery of the Chinese Empire, and now their artillery fire is very fierce, and our reinforcements will not be able to go up no matter what, their artillery fire is almost in front of the shock infantry, sticking to us, so that we cannot put in troops for an effective counterattack, and in a narrow space, the enemy's artillery fire will cause great casualties to our troops attacking in dense formations, Casualties of this magnitude would lead directly to the collapse of our army. ”

At this moment, Major General Ivanevich of the 7th Guards Infantry Division was covered in blood and stumbled over with the support of others, and Major General Ivanevich grabbed Marshal Chekov's sleeve in horror and shouted: "It's all over!" It's all over! It's all over! ”

Then Ivanyevich squatted on the ground and began to cry, Major General Ivanevich's mental breakdown made the atmosphere in the Russian General Headquarters extremely strange, and a Russian major who accompanied Major General Ivanyevich saw that their division commander was speechless, so he said eagerly: "Your Excellency Marshal, the col where our division is stationed has been accurately shelled by the Chinese Empire, and now there is no Seventh Guards Infantry Division, and the enemy is probably at least at least 5,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry have passed through the col where our division is stationed, On the way to our arrival, all the guards were wiped out by the Chinese Imperial reconnaissance cavalry who were roaming nearby, and now it is no longer safe here, and the communication between our troops is probably all cut off at this moment, and when we came, we saw a cavalry of more than 5,000 Qing forbidden troops retreating rapidly! ”

Marshal Chekov listened to the lieutenant colonel's words and immediately returned to the tent, stood in front of the map and gestured and asked: "You really saw with your own eyes that the cavalry of the Qing Kingdom retreated without a fight?" ”

The lieutenant colonel nodded anxiously and said: "Many people nearby have seen it, and they can testify for us that the cavalry they met on the way is really the cavalry of the Qing Kingdom, at least five thousand people, and each of them passed very quickly with two horses!" The lieutenant colonel deliberately emphasized the configuration of the double horse, because this is the standard configuration of the cavalry of the new army of the Qing Forbidden Army.

Marshal Chekov finally let out a long sigh and said: "If the Qing army's army retreats, then our left and right flanks will be exposed to the enemy, so that our troops will be completely divided by the enemy, if this continues, our army will not escape the doom of being completely annihilated, and the counterattack troops we deployed in Wanjia Village and Laojuntun will lose their role, if they are used for counterattack, it will only bring greater chaos!" ”

Marshal Chekov paced back and forth in the room a few times and said: "Order all troops to immediately retreat in the direction of Jinzhou, if Shanhaiguan is lost, then the only place we can stop the enemy is Jinzhou!" Let our troops disengage from the enemy army at all costs, and when I get to Jinzhou, I am settling this account with the generals of the Qing State, these sworn liars have deceived me, and what are they saying that they will not hesitate to fight to the death for the sake of their imperial court? I'm not worried at all about where they will die, but today they will definitely not die like a warrior with honor! But I, Chekov, will definitely not be such a dishonorable coward, I want to be the last to retreat! Until my men are out of danger! ”

Marshal Chekov got on his mount and immediately led the entire command and guard troops to begin a rapid retreat, although Marshal Chekov's words were very impassioned, and his horse whip was also waved very quickly, the cavalry of the Chinese Empire had appeared near his headquarters, would this be good news?

Marshal Chekov hurried up, he must not let himself fall behind the cavalry of the Chinese Empire, so Chekov's first goal was to rush to the old army cantonment, because there were two Cossack cavalry divisions there, which could guarantee his own absolute safety!

"What? The Russians retreated? Monk Lingqin grabbed the collar of a Qian general who was covered in frost and snow and shouted: "Li Chonglin, who rushed to reinforce and block the breakthrough, Lord Li's fourth town and Qian Furen's third town were all defeated by the army of the Chinese Empire. The Russians didn't fight back, their group of goddamn bastards had already lost our masters, Lord Li asked the prince to make a decision as soon as possible! Otherwise, I'm in danger! ”

"Chekov, you bastard! Russians who don't talk about credit! You have mistaken this king! The monk who looked up to the sky and sighed sighed, spurted out a mouthful of steaming blood, and fell on his back.

The people on the side suddenly made a mess, several staff members immediately called the carriage to pull the monk Greenqin under the protection of the palace guards and immediately retreated, in a panic, no one even cared about the marshal's tent, and the Qing army directly took off the number of clothes, ripped off the brave chest and fled, and suddenly the Qing army that was not attacked by any was in a mess!
