The news that the Qing army did not bring the emperor out when the Tianzhuang Tai Qing army broke through was like stabbing a hornet's nest, which made the entire Qing Dynasty angry. The Qing army in Liaohe was criticized by the people from top to bottom, and the entire Second Division of the Qing Army, including Wang Shizhen and others, was even more guilty. From the south to the north, from the people to the localities, to the imperial court, the telegrams of accusation were sent to Jinzhou like snowflakes.

Especially in the various large and small teahouses in the capital, the banner men have the posture of cutting Wang Shizhen into meat puree. You are a Han minion who escaped by himself, but he left his master to the enemy. It's tolerable, it's unbearable.

In Shanghai, while people were accusing the Qing army of Liaohe, more people gathered outside the door of the State Affairs Times Museum, watching the old emperor Sun Jianai tearfully read the telegrams sent back from the Tianzhuang Terrace.

"The weather is very good today, the snow stopped at dawn, and the earth that had been quiet all night suddenly became **. There was no smoke of artillery fire, no noise of gunfire, and no corpse of the person who died in battle. The whole wilderness is so white and sacred.

But each of us knows that after the other side of the army has finished breakfast, the black tide of the other side will sweep in again, trampling on the sacredness that should belong to us with a hideous face and a strange cry.

Today is the third day of our sleep, and we have eaten very little breakfast. Therefore, they all entered the trenches early and waited for the attack of the army, and after the army attacked, they beat the dog down. In fact, everyone has eaten very little these days, so it's okay if you're not hungry anyway. It's not that there is a shortage of food, the current food is enough for our 2,000 people to let go and eat for more than half a month, but we really can't eat it. In the words of the emperor: I can only eat potatoes and sweet potatoes for more than ten days in a row, and I can't stand it even if I am alone. Indeed, now we see that the hearts of potatoes and sweet potatoes are all gone, where can we still eat. Now the emperor is most worried not about the attack of the army, but how to make the soldiers eat more comfortably. Without leafy greens for vitamins, it's hard for the body to stick around for longer. I don't know what vitamins mean, but these days my mouth is full of the muddy smell of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Even when Lord Liu Shengxiu brought the first batch of reinforcements last night, the first thing the emperor asked Lord Liu was whether he had brought a few vegetable leaves.

In addition to the food that annoyed the emperor, the emperor was in a good mood. Last night, the emperor also built a snowman with his own hands, used eyes made of small potatoes, and cut a sweet potato to make a nose and mouth. It's a pity that there is no camera to take it down. ”

The telegram stopped here, and after a while, a new telegram was delivered. Sun Jianai stood on the second floor and read it out slowly.

"The army has begun to attack......"

……

"There was a loud explosion in the town of Tianzhuangtai, and I know that the place of the explosion turned out to be the headquarters of our army. Since the withdrawal of our troops, all the weapons and ammunition that could not be taken away have been piled up there. The last defenders were a group of wounded soldiers who had become incurable, and they defended their last positions with their deaths. Finally, the army could not wait and destroyed the last supply points, because they could not wait for the wounded soldiers to starve to death. Because the troops of our army have already reached the town of Tianzhuangtai. Even in Daluanfang Village, we could hear the shouts and killings of our army's ** troops in the distance.

The army began to play with his life. Today, the attacks have not stopped from morning to night. Moreover, the army began to bombard the obstacles in front of the positions with artillery. In peacetime, the most inconspicuous barbed wire fence that every household has has become the biggest obstacle to the army's attack in front of the position. The barbed wire fence tied to the barbs made it impossible for the army to climb over, and the gap that was finally cut was finally cut by our army with just a machine gun to allow the body of Yue himself to re-plug the gap. It was this simple barbed wire fence that blocked several times the army from the Grange platform. Now it still blocks five times as many enemies. Maybe the army can't care about ensuring the safety of the emperor, and for the army, if they can't catch the emperor anymore, the Liaohe army can only be wiped out.

The emperor has a rifle, which is a new gun issued to the emperor during the breakout of Ping'an Town. On it is the word 'zheng' engraved by the emperor himself. The emperor said that each stroke represented the emperor killing an enemy. Almost all of the rifles here have this lettering on them. In the morning, the emperor's gun was still engraved with two orthography, and when the emperor passed by here with his troops, I saw that the gun had been engraved with five orthography.

The emperor was injured, and the bullet that came from nowhere hit the emperor's heart. Fortunately, the melodica that the emperor had been putting on his chest blocked the bullet and saved the emperor. Everyone was in a bad mood, it was the only pastime in the aftermath of the war in the past few days. Every day after the war, the emperor would play this melodica to cheer everyone on. Just last night, the emperor used this melodica to teach us to sing the song of loyalty to the country. I won't hear the melodica anymore tonight.

There is still no sign of stopping my attack, and the black wave continues to hit our front. The besieging army on all sides had already filled us with the last reserves. The emperor has personally been on the front line.

The army has already rushed forward, and our casualties are too great. If it is not replenished, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Look, the emperor rushed up. The emperor in a dragon robe rushed to be the first. Okay, the emperor stabbed a little Ben to death. Rush, look, the army all over the mountains launched a counter-charge. This is the real killing sound of Zhentian, this is the real invincible army. Kill, kill, let the little devils know that a few small islands can defeat China.

He said that he retreated, and he said that he was defeated. I saw the emperor's smiling face, and judging from the emperor's agile movements, the emperor was definitely not injured. The blood on his face was clean just by touching it. In the rain of bullets, the emperor did not retreat. He fought with us. ”

"Hell, a cannonball hit the trench where the emperor was, and everyone fell. I'm going to see if the emperor has anything to do. God forbid. ”

"Phew." Guangxu spat out the dust in his mouth and got up. Push away the soldiers who died to cover themselves, this is the battlefield, there is no time for lyricism. Guangxu quickly set up the gun, aimed, held his breath, and fired, and another army fell in front of him.

The army rushed up again, and the outlaws could only capture Guangxu alive. Dashanyan has ordered that as long as it is not aimed at the important parts of the Qing Emperor, the necessary attacks can be carried out, and everything is to capture the Qing Emperor alive.

The crossfire of the machine guns on both sides of the Qing army's position effectively killed and injured the charging Yue troops, but it could not withstand the large number of people. The army is getting closer and closer to the position.

"Your Majesty, let's issue explosives packets." A wounded man who fell to the ground said to Guangxu. As soon as explosive packs are fired, it means that the position will be abandoned. Let all the seriously wounded who cannot move be cut off for the troops by detonating explosive packs.

Guangxu could only glance at Yue Jun, who was getting closer and closer, and nodded lightly. In Guangxu's eyes, countless wounded soldiers smiled happily.

Guangxu held a bag of explosives and came to the noodles: "You really don't want to withdraw with us." ”

Deng Ping, nicknamed Noodle, just smiled slightly: "No." Your Majesty, the gun is your weapon, and you guard every position with your gun. The radio is the weapon of the minions, and after retreating, they lose their weapons and lose their positions. Therefore, the emperor please allow the minions to hold their positions until the last moment. ”

The whistling shells were exploding, and the bullets outside the trenches were constantly flying. Guangxu just gently handed the explosives bag to the noodle, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to leave. Noodle watched as the group of soldiers retreated to the rear, straightened their clothes, sat down in front of the radio, and began to make announcements.

"The guards used their bodies to block the enemy's shrapnel, and the emperor was safe and sound. It's just that the casualties are too great, and most of the trenches that have been dug have lost their usefulness. The emperor finally made up his mind and began to distribute explosives packets. The seriously wounded were sent one by one, just waiting for the army to rush forward and die with the enemy. I also sent one, because I also had to hold my ground. Never have I ever touched a gun, nor have I ever fired a gun. Even if I was given a gun, I might not be able to kill a soldier. The radio is my weapon, but we don't have wires, and the radio can't be pulled away, so I don't even have a weapon when I step back. So I stayed, and I will use my weapon to tell the world what I have seen at this last moment.

The army had already rushed into position, and with each explosion a soldier was killed along with the enemy. Every explosion can bring a few soldiers to die together. Like the wounded soldiers who stayed behind in the Tianzhuang Terrace Headquarters, there was no hesitation or regret. When the enemy rushes to me, I will also detonate my own explosives pack. According to my estimates, the largest explosive package was to blow up nine soldiers. I don't know how many I can blow up, I hope it's ten.

The charging soldiers should have been a little afraid, and now they are all advancing cautiously, for fear of encountering a wounded Qing soldier, because every Qing soldier left behind will have an explosive bag in his hand. I'm wondering if I'm thinking about how many explosives the Qing people have. In fact, I don't know, no matter how I use it, I will leave one. Because it was left for him by the emperor.

The charging army has already been disrupted by the ubiquitous explosion, and only in the place after the explosion will the army be concentrated. It would be nice if there was a cannonball here that could hit there.

……

I said that I was getting closer and closer, but I was actually a little nervous. If I had killed me with one shot, I would have wasted a bag of explosives. However, I should have found a way to capture me, because I am the only one in the entire army who knows the code of the telegram. The password has long been memorized in my head, and all the literal code books have long been burned in the headquarters.

Look, fight back, fight back. It's the emperor, and it's the emperor who is on the horse. Your Majesty, you have to be careful, the Qing Kingdom can't live without you. ”

The telegram stopped here again, and there was a commotion outside the press office. Won or lost? There was a lot of discussion, but they all believed that this counterattack would be successful. However, compared with the rest of Shanghai, there was no noise in the Tianjin Governor's Mansion at this time. There are only people who are constantly coming and going. And the crowd that had already gathered at the Military Aircraft Department in the capital, officials of all sizes were thinking of ways to get in. The quietest was the Imperial Study, the only radio station in the inner courtyard of the palace that led to the outside, where Cixi had been stationed early to listen to the telegraph operator's voice of translation.

The last radio station in Dalufang Village affected the up and down of the Qing Dynasty.

"Victory is inevitable, and the army has disrupted the formation under the swan song of our army's death. If you don't bite the enemy at this time, how long will you wait? I didn't say this, it was the emperor who said it. I don't know any of these.

The emperor retreated with his soldiers, because he lost the cover of the trenches, he could only fill it with human lives. But now we are running out of lives.

The emperor retreated, and he himself attacked again. It's just that after entering the abandoned positions of our troops, they are still cautious. I know that there are still many wounded people whose explosives packs have not exploded.

Another explosion occurred. Look, I am already afraid, they are no longer afraid to move forward. In the face of the empty trenches, I can only advance cautiously, and I have to make up for many of the soldiers who have been killed in our army, otherwise I will not dare to advance.

The soldiers on the other side didn't know what to call, maybe the officers were not satisfied with the speed of the soldiers' progress and were cursing. The speed of the army's advance began to increase, and now it had crossed two trenches, and beyond that was the area where the wounded soldiers were defending to the death.

The sound of the explosion became more and more intense, and I could see the officer holding the command knife urging the soldiers to occupy the position as soon as possible, and the positions on both sides had been completely occupied, and the army did not stop advancing, and continued to attack the position behind. But I am in the middle of my present position, and if the army cannot occupy my position, it will not be possible to launch a complete attack on the next position. But I didn't know that the emperor had already arranged it, and the closer I got to my location, the more wounded there were. By the time I die in battle, I will at least pull more than 100 soldiers on the road.

The explosion is getting closer to me, and I'm going to get ready first. I can't wait for Xiao Yuben to come to the door, I haven't even prepared the explosives bag. ”

The telegram stopped again. In Shanghai, there was silence at the entrance of the State Times, quietly waiting for the arrival of the next telegram. In the imperial study, Cixi put down the tea bowl in her hand and said weakly: "Sixth, hurry up and talk to Yu himself, and replace the emperor first." ”

What no one knows is that under the attack of the 1st Division of the Yue Army and the Nogi Noshinori Brigade, the village of Luofang, which had been held for more than ten days, was finally lost, and the 1st part of the 7th Regiment retreated outside the fort, and the other divisions were moving closer to the emperor's position.

"Your Majesty, the village of Ranfang is lost. Tie Liang, the commander of the 7th Regiment, was killed, and the commander of the 6th Regiment failed to follow after the break, and retreated to the fort with the rest of the regiment. Liu Shengxiu stepped forward to report.

Guangxu retracted his head and asked, "How many troops do we have here?" ”

"Back to the emperor, according to Weichen's estimates, the final strength is less than a thousand."

"Come and have a look." Guangxu nodded, and asked Liu Shengxiu, the highest-ranking officer in the army: "The back road has been broken, our army has no room for maneuver, and I see that there is still a place in the frontline position that has not been occupied by the army." I want to make a counter-charge and regain the position. Give yourself a little space. What do you think? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is going to organize the troops." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Come back. If Lao Tzu knew how to command, would he need to ask you earlier? Guangxu said with an angry face: "You are now the highest-ranking officer here, and the troops are now under your command, do you understand?" ”

The tick-tock telegram came again, and the people with a heart were relieved. Just waiting for the telegraph operator to translate the message.

"Be careful, brothers in the back, your bullets have hit me. Don't accidentally kill me, wouldn't that be a waste of an explosives pack!

Because of the continuous attacks of the Yue army, the position of the emperor was also compressed smaller and smaller, and the troops attacking the Yue army were also denser and denser. As a result, the more people our machine guns can kill in a row. Only the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army on the other side of the river was still blocked by our army on the other side of the river. The Japanese troops besieging on all sides were killed and wounded under the blows of our army's machine guns, and just now I looked at the positions behind me and found that there was at least one machine gun every 100 meters, and the cross-machine gun fire blocked the way for the Japanese army to advance. If it weren't for the barbed wire, it would have been impossible for the army to occupy such a dense machine-gun position.

It's been four days, it's been four whole days. Why could the Qing army of the Liaohe River never open the encirclement of the Yue army? General Ouyang Zhenhua of the First Division, where the hell are you? We're running out of it.

The army came up, and I already held the explosives bag in my arms, just waiting for the moment when I pushed open the bunker gate.

Look, our troops are back. I didn't dare to go out because I wasn't sure if there were any soldiers outside the door. I can only wait. Listen, the shout is like thunder, listen, the killing sound is earth-shattering. No one can stop the emperor, no one can. I believe that the moment the bunker gate was pushed open, no matter who it was, he was wearing a certain new army uniform designed by the emperor himself.

Someone is knocking on the door, it's the emperor's voice......"

The telegram was interrupted again, but this time for a long time, for a whole afternoon.

"I went to help. I heard from the emperor that Millfang Village was occupied by the army, and even Tie Liang, the commander of the Seventh Regiment, had been killed. The commander of the 6th regiment was trapped inside the battery. So I want to ** come back, give the troops a space to turnover, and I will also go up to help dig trenches. But just now, the huge explosion of the fort even shook us here, and the commander of the sixth regiment died. The emperor decided to shrink all his forces, abandon all the peripheral positions, and retreat to the last position, the village of Da Nianfang. The troops are insufficient, and the emperor will no longer launch **.

The emperor asked me, the last chance, if I don't leave, I can only die in battle. I said, "Then let's die, I'm going to die on my own ground."

The emperor left, and left with the last explosives bag, which the emperor left for himself.

The emperor was wounded, and a bullet hit the emperor's left shoulder, leaving the bullet inside. The emperor asked people to take him out, but no one dared to do it. I watched the emperor take off his clothes, bite a rag, and cut the flesh with his short sword. Blood flowed from the cross-shaped incision, and the emperor stretched his finger into the incision to pull out the warhead. We all wept and put our hands into our flesh. If it were me, I'd rather shoot myself. But the emperor is like no one, quietly letting people be drugged and bandaged.

I asked the emperor: Why are you here, you are the emperor.

The emperor said, because I am the emperor. You are all good soldiers, and none of you surrendered, not just because the emperor is still here. In your eyes, I am a brave emperor. But you don't know, sometimes I think that if I am just an ordinary soldier, then I must find an opportunity to sneak out with the big army, and if I can't do it, I will surrender to myself. Actually, I'm not as brave as you think, and I don't have that much wisdom and martial arts. In fact, I am most afraid of death, and China has been beaten into the territory of a small island country, and no matter what the battle is, it will be lost by the Qing Dynasty. So I don't want to die, I still have too many wishes. It is not why, because I am the emperor, because of this country, because of the Chinese land under my feet, because of the Chinese nation living in this land, because I am the emperor.

It is a great blessing for the world to have this emperor. May Heaven bless my emperor long live.

I'm here, and I've lit the explosives pack. This is the end of the report on the battlefield of Tianzhuangtai. Long live my great Chinese nation. ”

The "bump" door was slammed open. Deng Ping looked at the soldiers who rushed in, and filled it with the explosives bag. Deng Ping's eyes said that he was already full of panic. (To be continued.) )
