On 21 June, the Dingbei Army outside the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk first had the planes of the Northeast Air Force drop a bomb into the eastern city, and then the artillery units of the Dingbei Army concentrated more than 1,000 artillery pieces and began shelling for more than one hour.

The artillery unit of the Dingbei Army bombarded for another 10 minutes according to the plan of the headquarters, and it took one and a half hours to make up enough for the artillery bombardment to end, and at this time, many places in Dongcheng, where the Eight-Nation Alliance was stationed, had become a ruin, and the many pillboxes that had been built by the officers and men of the Eight-Nation Alliance using houses had become piles of rubble.

During the bombardment, the artillery of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Dongcheng also tried to resist, but then they were hit by 36 Yellow Bird fighters in the sky and the artillery of the Dingbei Army.

Thanks to the Eight-Nation Alliance's digging of a large number of underground anti-artillery holes and tunnels in Dongcheng, most of the officers and soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance hid underground to avoid being killed directly, and even some artillery could be pulled into the underground anti-artillery holes. However, there are 560,000 officers and soldiers in the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk City, and it is impossible for all of them to go underground, and there are not so many underground anti-artillery holes and tunnels, and it is not easy to dig out these anti-artillery holes and tunnels. At least nearly 150,000 people remained on the ground, choosing to live in some strong fortifications, and they also expected the Dingbei army to bombard the city, but they only expected the beginning, but not the end.

This was also too fierce, and in an hour and a half, more than 300,000 shells were fired into the city by thousands of artillery pieces of the Dingbei Army. This is not counting the bombs dropped by those planes in the sky, which suddenly caused the officers and soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance to build fortifications in Dongcheng for many days. Especially above the ground, it is basically in ruins. Many officers and soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance who did not enter the underground were killed, even the fortifications they thought were strong, and under such fierce artillery fire, they were also in vain, and their lives were not saved.

It is no exaggeration to say that this fierce shelling, which lasted for an hour and a half, had to cost at least 80,000 or 90,000 officers and men of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the army commanders of several countries in the underground command headquarters turned a little green. Cannonballs don't cost money! You guys are so desperate!

When the artillery of the Dingbei Army finally stopped bombarding, the long-prepared Dingbei Army attack force rushed to the city that had become like a ruin, with the cooperation of a large number of tanks.

There is no city wall in the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk City, but at the edge of the city, the officers and soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance have also built several trenches relying on buildings, of course, they are now also in tatters by the artillery fire of the Dingbei Army, but when the Dingbei Army launched an attack, the officers and soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance still appeared in these trenches.

It is a pity that these heroic officers and soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance were then attacked in the sky. After the attack of the fighters, bombing and machine gun fire, which had already replenished the ammunition, the Dingbei officers and soldiers who were charging on the ground then entered the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk without paying much price.

It was relatively easy for the attacking troops of the Dingbei Army to enter the city. However, the battle in the city was extremely difficult, and it was not easy to clear the resistance of the officers and soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the ruins, and soon after, the officers and soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance appeared in this ruin. The city is in a tug-of-war.

After Zhao Daneng's company received some reinforcements, it was still selected as the first unit to attack today.

Zhao Daneng's equipment is no longer a heavy machine gun. Instead, he had a Type 96 submachine gun in his hand and a Type 96 pistol pinned to his waist. It turned out that in yesterday's battle, his company had been attacking at the front, and the casualties were not small, and after receiving reinforcements last night, the company commander Wu Gebao reorganized the entire company, and Zhao Daneng was transferred from the machine gun platoon and served as the deputy squad leader of an infantry squad.

This can't help but make Zhao Daneng happy, he has only been in the army for half a year, and he has become a deputy squad leader, you must know that the deputy squad leader is a non-commissioned officer, and he is only a compulsory soldier, so as long as he finishes the war, he is a formal non-commissioned officer, and he has suddenly become a deputy squad leader, wow, the non-commissioned officer is much higher than the allowance of the compulsory soldier, and the deputy squad leader also has a job allowance, and the next time he goes home to visit relatives, some of them are boasted of uncles, aunts, and cousins.

At the same time, Zhao Daneng was a little grateful to the Eight-Nation Alliance in his heart, if you didn't have to force Lin Dashuai to go to war with you, we wouldn't have been able to rise so fast, if it wasn't for the war, I just wanted to become a non-commissioned officer, and I had to wait for the assessment above, let alone become a deputy squad leader all of a sudden.

Zhao Daneng followed the large army into the city, although most of the city has become a piece of rubble and ruins, but the officers and soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance used these rubbles and ruins as a position, hid in them to shoot at the officers and soldiers of the Dingbei Army, and used the tunnels to repeatedly fight with the Dingbei Army for pieces of ruins.

"Da Da Da-" Zhao Daneng half-crouched and shouted while firing at a pile of rubble with a submachine gun: "Hand grenade!" ”

Then the two soldiers in Zhao Daneng's squad threw 2 grenades at the back of the pile of rubble, "boom-boom-" The two explosions were mixed with screams, and Zhao Daneng then got up and rushed to the pile of rubble in front with several soldiers in the squad.

Behind the rubble, there were 3 soldiers in Russian uniforms who had been killed by grenades, but there were 2 soldiers who were only injured by grenades, but these 2 wounded Russian soldiers were still shooting at the Dingbei Army that rushed over, and successfully killed 1 Dingbei Army soldier who rushed over, and then they were all killed by Zhao Daneng.

"Deputy squad leader, Liu Xiaochun was hit in the head and couldn't be saved!" 1 soldier reported to Zhao Daneng.

Zhao Daneng gritted his teeth, the soldier who had just been added to this class, and he didn't even remember his name, the first battle in his life just now became the last battle.

Another soldier said, "Deputy squad leader, didn't we just clean up this place?" Why is there another enemy? ”

Zhao Daneng sighed and said: "The company commander said that the enemy appeared in the place where we finished clearing and suppressing, and our entire battalion was left by the superiors to defend this block. ”

There are only 7 people left around Zhao Daneng, including himself. This is Zhao Daneng's entire class, and 5 people, including the squad leader, have all died in the battle for the ruins.

Although the Dingbei Army can call for artillery fire and fighter support at any time in street fighting. However, repeated tug-of-war still caused heavy losses to the officers and soldiers who served as the attacking troops. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon of June 21, the Dingbei Army had advanced more than half of the city by relying on the help of aircraft and artillery, but the sound of the exchange of fire in the urban area that had been captured had not weakened, and the officers and men of the Eight-Nation Alliance had been using the tunnels to continuously counterattack the urban area occupied by the Dingbei Army, and this situation made the commanders of the five field armies scratch their heads.

Wang Hongjun, the commander of the First Field Army, no longer had the smiling face of last night, and he held several telegrams in his hands. With a very stern expression, he said to the other four army commanders: "The troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance have dug a large number of tunnels in the city, and the places that our attack troops have already occupied, they have used the tunnels to reappear there, and they have repeatedly fought with us in these places, which has caused great casualties among our attack troops. ”

The other four army commanders Zhang Limin, Deng Zichao, Wang Peng and Duan Qirui all nodded in agreement, if they continue to fight like this, the number of casualties on their side will be very large. It is definitely not the rhythm that the current Dingbei Army is willing to fight.

Wu Peifu asked, "Lao Wang, what are you going to do?" ”

Wang Hongjun put a few telegrams in his hand on the table and said, "I am going to ask the forward attacking troops to postpone the attack on the remaining urban areas of Dongcheng and concentrate on clearing the half of the urban areas that have been occupied. The most important thing is to carefully search for the entrances of the tunnels, and find out the entrances of all the tunnels in the city where we control. Blow it all up. Tomorrow we will continue to attack the other half of the city, and tomorrow when we attack. It is also necessary to send sufficient troops to clear the occupied urban areas. ”

Zhang Limin nodded and said, "I think this will do." While there is still some time before dark, we will try our best to blow up all the tunnels that the Eight-Nation Alliance occupies in the city we occupy, otherwise at night, the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance will definitely use these tunnels to launch a larger-scale attack. ”

Deng Zichao also nodded next to him and said: "Now our 5 field armies have invested 5 divisions in the east of Krasnoyarsk, I think we can let 2 divisions defend the counterattack of the Eight-Nation Alliance troops in the other half of the city, and the other 3 divisions are all put into the clearance, and in order to increase the intensity of the clearance, I think we can send 2 more divisions into the east of Krasnoyarsk." ”

Wang Hongjun slapped the table with his hand and said, "Okay! Then it was decided, and the front-line attacking troops were ordered to suspend the offensive and devote themselves to the battle to clear and occupy the city, and send two more divisions into the city. ”

Subsequently, the attacking force of the Dingbei Army in the city stopped continuing to advance, and two divisions began to defend on the spot on the demarcation line with the Eight-Nation Alliance-controlled urban area, while the other three divisions were fully engaged in occupying the urban area.

In fact, at least half of the troops of these three divisions have been put into the clearance, and now after the order of the command is issued, the remaining half of the troops of the three divisions are also immediately put into the battle of the clearance, and the two full divisions of the Dingbei Army outside the city have also quickly entered the occupied urban area.

Zhao Daneng and their company also soon received an order to search for the entrance of the tunnel with all their might, and blow up the entrance to the tunnel, so they also searched for the entrance of the tunnel while clearing the enemy on the ground, at this time there were originally more than 220 people in a company, only more than 120 people remained, and nearly 100 people had been lost, which shows that the repeated battles for the ruins have brought considerable casualties to the Dingbei Army in the city.

When Zhao Daneng and the others annihilated an enemy army of the Eight-Nation Alliance, they carefully searched the vicinity, and sure enough, they found an entrance to a tunnel, which was in a house that had not been blown up, but had become a ruined wall, and there was no enemy guard at the entrance, so the company commander Wu Gebao shouted: "Big, explosives pack!" ”

After shouting, the company commander Wu Gebao made a retreat gesture to the soldiers around him, and then led the people to retreat outside the house.

"Here, company commander!" Zhao Daneng took an explosive bag in his hand, quickly approached the entrance of the tunnel, pulled the fuse of the explosive bag in his hand hard, and then threw the explosive bag with a "squeak-" sound into the hole in the tunnel.

Then Zhao Daneng ran out and hid behind a pile of rubble, and after a "boom-" sound, Zhao Daneng patted the ash that fell on his head, and first rushed into the house with a tunnel entrance, and found that the tunnel entrance had been completely blown up.

Zhao Daneng turned around and shouted to Wu Gebao, the company commander outside the house: "It's blown up, company commander, it's impossible for anyone to come out." ”

The company commander Wu Gebao shouted expressionlessly: "The whole company continues to search to the front, big one, take the soldiers of your squad, bring all the explosives bags of our company, the power of the grenade at the entrance of the explosion tunnel is too small, and the explosives package is still useful." ”

In fact, in the morning shelling, some of the tunnel entrances have lost their effect, mainly the tunnel entrances are inside the house, and after the house was blown up, the tunnel entrance was also blocked. Although the Dingbei Army's clearance could not blow up all the tunnel entrances to occupy the city, it also blew up most of them before dark, so that the Eight-Nation Alliance could use fewer and fewer tunnel entrances.

On the night of June 21, the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance did launch a counterattack, but the counterattack on the ground was soon futilely returned under the blows of the two divisions of the Dingbei Army and the artillery of the Dingbei Army, and they also lost a lot of troops.

The officers and men of the Eight-Nation Alliance were discovered as soon as they did not reach the ground through the tunnels, and then they were encircled and suppressed by the superior forces of the Dingbei Army, and then not only the officers and men of the Eight-Nation Alliance who appeared on the ground were wiped out, but even the entrance to the tunnel that the Dingbei Army had not been discovered was also exposed, and it was blown up by the "boom" of the explosive package.

The counterattack of the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance one night did not bring much trouble to the Northern Army, and the only effect may be that many officers and soldiers in the city of Dingbei did not sleep all night, but when soldiers fight, this matter is not a big deal at all, and early the next morning, the Dingbei Army did not change troops at all, and the headquarters of the five field armies directly ordered the troops in the city to continue to attack the other half of the blocks controlled by the Eight-Nation Alliance. (To be continued......)
