The gunfire never stopped, and the flying bullets shuttled back and forth in front of the positions of the two armies. The charging Yue troops fell one after another, and within 200 meters in front of the position, not even a single snowflake could be seen, all of which were tightly covered by the body of Yue himself who fell to the ground. Even the charging Yue army could only advance on the corpses of their own people, and there was no other way. The layers of corpses of the army are like a wall of human flesh that encloses the village tightly. At least one of the soldiers of the wing fell in the short few hundred meters of the charge.

"Damn the Chinese people, how many bullets are left?" The angry mountain rock could no longer hide the pain in his heart.

From Korea to Haicheng, less than 1,000 soldiers were sacrificed, more than 6,000 soldiers were killed and wounded from Haicheng to Liaohe, and nearly 10,000 soldiers fell after occupying Tianzhuangtai. Now it is only three kilometers from Tianzhuang Terrace to Da Nianfang Village, but it takes five full days. The 30,000 Imperial warriors in front of Haicheng were now less than half, and even so, a wing of soldiers had fallen outside the village of the Great Mill. The painful wails of the wounded soldiers were unbearable for the soldiers on the charging path, and the soldiers who lacked medical care and food not only fought in the snow in light clothes, but many soldiers were no longer out of bullets. But the army could not stop attacking,

The Emperor [***] team captured a lot of bullets from the Qing New Army along the way, but the Qing army's bullets did not match the Emperor [***] team. Hateful Shina people, they destroyed all the guns, and the only intact guns they got could only arm two squads. This is insignificant for the entire battlefield. However, the empire must attack, and time is running out for the emperor [***] team. Qing reinforcements had already crossed the Tianzhuang Terrace, and the nearest unit was only two kilometers from the village of Da Nianfang. These two kilometers include all the attacking and blocking troops of the Japanese army.

The forward troops had broken through the Qing army's defensive line and were attacking the village. It is hoped that the Qing emperor can be captured before the Qing army breaks through. Only in this way can we keep the Liaodong army and the victory.

"Your Excellency Katsura Taro, please mobilize all the troops you can use. Attacking the Qing Emperor with all our might, this will be our last chance. Dashan Yan bowed deeply.

Katsura Taro returned the salute and turned to go out. At the same time, the two cursed in their hearts the Fourth Division in Quanzhou, the Fourth Division, which has more than 10,000 well-trained soldiers, is still "suppressing bandits".

As the sun sets, the golden light still shines on the earth. Dashanyan, who was far away in the Liaohe River, received a message from the Fifth Division to say goodbye. The 1st Division of the Qing Army in Liaoyang has crossed Niuzhuang with the main force, the 5th Division is blocking the 1st Regiment of the Forward Force of the 1st Division of the Qing Army, and the 5th Division is no longer able to stop the advance of the 1st Regiment of the Qing Army.

The whole earth trembled with the sound of gunfire in the sky, and then the shouts of killing all over the mountains seemed to have suppressed the sound of gunfire. Under the sunset, the army in black uniforms had been killed by the Qing army. Duan Qirui was ordered to take the lead in reinforcing Tianzhuangtai, and when he learned that the emperor only took the remnants of the army to retreat to Da Nianfang Village, he only gave an order to the troops, and the whole army rushed in.

No matter how Nozu Michikani arranged, the first regiment of the Qing army lined up in a column with a sharp sword and only broke through from one point. Like the water that broke the embankment, the Yue army in Shuiyuan Town could no longer stop the first regiment of the Qing army that was charging all the way, and was killed by the first regiment to make a gap. The soldiers of the first regiment, who had rushed to the front, had already begun to walk onto the frozen river. The first regiment was still fighting with the Yue army, and the main force of the first division of the Qing army was killed. The Fifth Division could no longer resist the Qing army.

Nozu Michikan glanced at Konosuke Nohara silently: "Nohara-kun should understand that we can't hold out for long." But the 5th Division will fight to the best moment, even if the whole army is annihilated! Now I can only hope that His Excellency Yu Dashanyan will be able to capture the Qing Emperor before the arrival of the Qing army. ”

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, for the sake of the future of the Fifth Division, I ask Your Excellency the Division Commander to lead your troops to retreat, the establishment of a division in the empire must not disappear into the land of the Qing State like this." Konosuke Nohara stubbornly persued. The news of the fall of the 9th Brigade was brought back by the remaining artillery.

"You are a good soldier of the Empire, you can't just die in such a senseless blockade. You will escort the divisional flag out of the battlefield for the hope of the future of the 5th Division. Please. Nozu Michikani bowed deeply, ignoring Konosuke Nohara, whose face was already flushed. Turned and walked out of the headquarters.

Nozu Michikani walked to the front of the position with a faint smile, he remembered the emperor of the Qing Kingdom. Only then did he understand why the Qing Emperor could still have a bright smile on his face when the army was retreating step by step or even when the remnants were trapped, because it was a fearless smile. Nozu Michikan, who was supposed to be seppuku, learned from the Qing Emperor, pulled out his command knife and rushed into the two armies that were fighting fiercely.

In Da Mill Village, Da Shanyan looked at the Qing Emperor a hundred meters in front of him with red eyes. It was there, the end of the Empire's victory, and it only took ten seconds to run at a distance of thirty meters, but it had already been more than ten minutes and it was still thirty meters away. Countless Imperial warriors fell on this short thirty-meter road, and he could only order his troops to charge again and again. Because behind him, the Qing army reinforcements were getting closer and closer. If you can't take it down, then everything can be over. On the road to the village, which was not wide, the Qing army actually set up three machine guns, and the bullets were splashed like water and impermeable. Da Shanyan really couldn't understand how much ammunition the Qing army in Tianzhuangtai still had, and he even saw that the Qing Emperor who was personally using the machine gun was still waving to him in his spare time.

In fact, Guangxu's words are not easy. The Qing army in the entire village is less than 400 people, and the periphery has been lost, so it can only defend the last three small courtyards. Fortunately, there are still a large number of machine guns, and one can be assigned to every ten people, but everywhere the troops are full of machine gun bullets, and now Guangxu has only two boxes around him. At most, until the sun goes down, the machine guns will be useless. And with a rifle alone, Guangxu could really only be captured.

"Substitution." Taking the opportunity to reload, Guangxu retreated from the machine gun position. A stray bullet hit his right arm, and Guangxu covered the wound and retreated. The once majestic and solemn bright yellow dragon robe had long since lost its color, becoming dirty and tattered. The countless falls and dodging prostrate movements had already made the dragon robe a strip of cloth, revealing the cotton in the cotton clothes inside. The blood oozing from the injured body had long since coagulated, like flowers adorning the earth-colored clothes. With his left hand, he took out Yunnan Baiyao from his waist and poured it on the wound to look around.

Bloody battles, battles to the death, no retreat, no reinforcements. In the morning, you can hear the shouts and killing of the Qing army not far away, and now only the sound comes. There are more and more wounded soldiers, and ammunition is running out. In the beginning, there were people who kept sending the wounded to the room behind them, and then they kept sending the wounded from the room to the battlefield. Guangxu knew that there were only three wounded people in it now, because now he couldn't even find the manpower to move the wounded soldiers.

With a "click", the already scarred chess stick could no longer withstand the blowing of the cold wind and broke. Looking at the fallen five-star dragon flag, Guangxu's heart suddenly felt empty, as if the belief he had insisted on for a long time also fell.

Guangxu collected three rifles, filled them with bullets and walked into the room. Put three rifles in the hands of the wounded.

Guangxu took a deep breath and said loudly: "I have rushed up, and we have no chance to retreat." So I have heard it clearly, and I have given you a final will. Holding a gun at me, as soon as I was entangled, I was killed with one shot. I am the emperor and must not fall into the hands of the enemy. With that, he turned and left.

In front of the flagpole, Guangxu struggled to raise the dragon flag again. The flagpole in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, so that he couldn't lift it even with all his might. The wound on his right arm was torn open and blood gushed out, and he failed to lift the flagpole. Guangxu sat on the ground with a butt, and he gave up.

A group of Qing soldiers from a distance rushed over, and bursts of cheers erupted from the Qing army's position. Reinforcements arrived, reinforcements arrived. But it didn't take long for the cheers to fade down. The counter-charge launched by the Japanese army against the reinforcing Qing army once again blocked the reinforcements, and only one hundred and ten people rushed in front.

"Your Majesty, it's too late for Weichen to save you." In the crowd, Wang Shizhen knelt on the ground: "Weichen is incompetent, and the reinforcements are still blocked." ”

"Remember, at no time do soldiers kneel." Guangxu helped Wang Shizhen up, but he looked around another person with a nervous face and kneeling feet still trembling: "Kou Liancai, why are you here?" ”

"Your Majesty ......" The words came out, and Kou Liancai burst into tears: "Your Majesty, the slave has finally seen you." And then it was a whoa-wow-wow cry.

"Shut up. On the battlefield, you are crying for Lao Tzu. Guangxu scolded angrily: "Tell the right thing." ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Wu of the Academy of Sciences said that what the emperor gave has been done. Let the minions bring this to you, and say that it can only be handed over to you alone. With that, Kou Liancai unloaded the huge package he had been carrying.

"Something, open it and take a look."

"Your Majesty, Lord Wu said that he could only show the emperor alone."

Guangxu patted the package, and the thumping sound meant that it was a metal box: "What is it?" I've told you a lot of things, have I? Come in with me, Wang Shizhen, you also come in. ”

Wu Rongguang of the Academy of Sciences personally came to Jinzhou with three such packages, and after seeing Leng Jun, Leng Jun sent more than 100 inner palace guards to firmly protect Wu Rongguang and his party. Then Kou Liancai, who came with him, carried such a one on his back and followed him to the front line. Not only Wang Shizhen couldn't ask anything, but even Tang Shaoyi didn't know, but now the emperor wanted to tell himself without knowing what a great trust and grace he was. Wang Shizhen, who was excited, watched Kou Liancai open the package, revealing a square yellow iron box, and then pulled out an iron wire from the edge of the box. I only heard the emperor shouting in a low voice: "Radio." ”

The emperor asked Kou Liancai if he would use it, and after Kou Liancai nodded affirmatively, the emperor said: "Send a report, send it word for word." The emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty is still fighting, the army is still resisting, and the position is still in our hands. ”

After speaking, Guangxu said excitedly to Wang Shizhen: "Do you know what this means? ”

Wang Shizhen knew in his heart that this kind of thing that could be sent without wires would definitely play an important role in future wars. I just couldn't figure it out for a while, so I shook my head.

"This kind of no-wire platform that can be carried on the back and advance with the troops, as long as we have enough to equip the troops, equip each regiment. Think about it, so that the staff can know at all times the movements of each army, the situation of each battle situation...... Do you understand? ”

"This means that we don't have to guess whether the assault force has arrived at the attack position, and we can know the progress of each battlefield. We don't have to worry about a sudden change in the front line that will disrupt all deployments, so we don't have to keep more reserves, and we can commit more attacking forces. This means that the war will be in our hands. Wang Shizhen replied excitedly.

"Go get ready for the radio. Confidentiality, confidentiality is a top priority. This was the greatest weapon for the victory of an army that was not yet strong. ”

A hurried knock on the door interrupted the conversation inside: "Your Majesty, I said that I rushed up." ”

"Wang Shizhen, go and help me hold up the military flag."

The five-star dragon flag fluttered again in the Qing army position in Da Nianfang Village, and the emperor personally held the flag. The soldiers lined up a human wall in front of the emperor. On the road outside the courtyard, bayonets flashed, and the troops of the two sides were tightly entangled, and everywhere you could see the figures of running, jumping, falling, and charging and fighting.

"Look, my lord, the dragon flag is erected again."

The main force of the First Division, which had destroyed the last line of defense of the Fifth Division, had already begun to cross the river, but the moment the dragon flag fluttering in the distance fell, Ouyang Zhenhua was anxious and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Now that the fallen dragon flag is fluttering again, Ouyang Zhenhua's eyes widened: "Attack, all attack, attack in the direction of the dragon flag." ”

Ten meters away, Dashan Yan watched his troops get closer and closer to the Qing Emperor, and he ordered all his troops to launch a final charge. The black wave was surging, launching one charge after another towards the Qing army's position, and the Qing army's ability to resist slowly weakened as the number decreased. Ten meters away from victory.

Suddenly, the black wave seemed to hit an earthy yellow embankment, and the Qing army smashed the black wave with bayonets. In the staggered positions of the two armies, the shouts of the Qing army became louder and louder, and a flag came from afar. It was the flag of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of the Qing Army.

Now that the army is twenty meters away from the end of victory, Dashanyan reluctantly orders to retreat. He knew, with the arrival of the first regiment of the Qing army. The Liaohe army had no hope of victory. Ten meters, Dashan Yan's eyes were so desperate.

Thirty years later, Dashan Yan wrote in his memoirs: On November 27, 1894, we were only ten meters away from victory. But we didn't get across the last ten meters, and as time went on, the distance got farther and farther away. To this day, these ten meters have become an unattainable distance. (To be continued.) )
