711 Bloodstained Shanhaiguan
At 8 a.m. on 20 November, the Japanese launched an attack on the Huaxia Army's Shanhaiguan defensive line.
At this time, the Japanese army gathered 300,000 troops in the northeast of the Qing Dynasty, of which 200,000 were local divisions from Japan and 100,000 were Korean divisions from the Korean Empire.
The so-called Korean divisions are divisions recruited by Japan in South Korea, and when the Japanese army and the Russian army were fighting, the Korean divisions also played a huge role.
The Huaxia Army deployed a total of two lines of defense in Shanhaiguan, one was the Guancheng defense line and the other was the trench defense line, which was about one kilometer away from the Shanhaiguan Guancheng, and the first armored division served as the main defensive force.
Although the 1st Armored Division sent 60 plundering artillery chariots to Mongolia to fight against the Mongol Empire, there were still 120 of them left in Shanhaiguan, and these 120 invading artillery chariots were simply an insurmountable wall for the Japanese soldiers.
One hundred and twenty plundering artillery chariots were deployed behind the trenches, and the trenches in front of it were built into a gentle slope, and when the Japanese soldiers were far away, the invading artillery chariots used their main guns and machine guns to sweep at the Japanese soldiers.
If the Japanese soldiers did not retreat, the artillery and chariots of the invasion would rush down the trenches and leap out of the trenches, performing the "magic skill of crushing" and crushing the Japanese soldiers into pulp.
On the battlefield, there were only 30 HP-2 and 15 HP-3 guns deployed in the one-kilometer open space between the trench defense line and the fortress, and if there were too many Japanese soldiers, these two types of artillery could also help.
In the face of such ferocious firepower of the Huaxia Army, the Japanese soldiers repeatedly attacked in vain, but at 8 o'clock in the morning of November 20, the Japanese soldiers captured a large number of Qing civilians as meat shields.
The number of Qing people who served as meat shields was about 3,000 at the roughest glance, and every 50 of these people were tied into a string by Japanese soldiers with ropes, and some Japanese soldiers forced them behind with bayonets.
When the Huaxia army saw this scene, they didn't dare to shoot, once they shot, the people in front of them were miserable, and the Huaxia army didn't know what to do for a while, or the division commander Lei Guang thought of a way, that is, to kill the invaded artillery chariots, and use the mobility of the plundering artillery chariots to detour back behind the flesh shields of the Qing people and attack the Japanese soldiers.
This kind of fighting is the best way to eliminate the Japanese soldiers, and if the Japanese soldiers cannot be eliminated, it will also disrupt the military formation of the Japanese soldiers, so that the Qing people can take the opportunity to escape.
Under the order of Lei Guang, twenty invading artillery chariots jumped out, bypassed the wall of the Qing people, and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers, who saw the invading artillery chariots rushing over, and immediately drove the Qing people towards the invading artillery chariots.
Under the pressure of the bayonets of the Japanese soldiers, the Qing people had to flock to the invading artillery chariots, and the invading artillery chariots immediately gave full play to their mobility advantages and went around behind the Qing people.
The speed of people is incomparable with the artillery chariots of the invasion, and the people of the Qing Kingdom are tied into a string of ropes, and the speed of turning is even slower, so seeing that the artillery chariots of the invasion are about to bypass the meat shield and take the Japanese soldiers directly.
But no one could have imagined that at this moment, something would happen suddenly.
I saw a large group of guys dressed in the clothes of the Qing people rushing out of the crowd, these people's clothes were bulging and extremely bloated, and it was obvious that there were things hidden inside.
These people quickly rushed to the plundering artillery chariot, and hit the crew of the plundering artillery chariot by surprise, and the crew wanted to shoot, but these people were wearing the clothes of the Qing people, and behind them were the Qing people, and the crew was worried about accidental injury, so they did not shoot.
These men rushed to the front of the plundering artillery chariot, flew to the predatory artillery chariot, and then erupted with a deafening loud noise and fire, and the clothes of these people were full of explosives.
It turned out that these people were all carefully selected death squad members of the Japanese army, and the amount of explosives carried by each person was 20 kilograms, and the explosives were all powerful picric acid, and the Japanese soldiers added aluminum powder, potassium chlorate and other substances to it in order to increase the power of the explosion, and the explosion directly deformed the turret of an invading artillery combat vehicle, and the barrel was even blown off.
Even more tragic was the crew of the plundering artillery chariot, and the strong shock wave directly shook them to the point that their internal organs were broken, and they were killed on the spot.
The target of these Japanese soldiers was the artillery chariots of the invasion, and they originally planned to take advantage of the fact that the Huaxia army did not dare to shoot the people of the Qing Dynasty to rush into the defense line of the Huaxia army and blow up the artillery chariots of the invasion, but when they saw that the artillery chariots of the invasion were killed, they rushed out of the crowd and directly launched an attack on the artillery chariots of the invasion.
There were too many explosives, and when they exploded, they directly blew people into minced meat, and the blood and minced meat were scattered into the air, and they were sprinkled like raindrops, splashing the faces of the people of the Qing Kingdom, which made the people of the Qing Kingdom panic, they were crazy, running and bumping, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
The chaos is actually beneficial to the Japanese army, some Japanese soldiers have fast brains, directly cut the rope that tied the Qing people, these Qing people immediately ran away, they felt that it was more safe to get close to the invasion of artillery chariots, so they ran in the direction of the invasion of artillery chariots, and the Japanese soldier death squad took advantage of this time to fish in troubled waters, mixed in the Qing people to pounce on the invasion of artillery chariots.
The explosions were even more violent, some of which detonated the internal shells of the predatory artillery chariots, and the explosion directly lifted the entire turret away, and a cloud of intense fire rose into the sky, accompanied by countless metal parts and broken bones of the crew's internal organs......
In the blink of an eye, the five plundering artillery chariots had been blown up, and Lei Guang hurriedly ordered his subordinates to shoot a signal flare to retreat, but the invading artillery chariots had been surrounded by the Qing people in the middle, and if they retreated, they would crush the Qing people to death, just like crushing the Japanese soldiers.
Although the crew of the plundered artillery chariot values the lives of the Qing people, they will never be pedantic to the point of sacrificing themselves in order to protect the Qing people, which is also under Lin Fei's regular education, the duty of our army is to protect the people, but we can't sacrifice ourselves casually.
The plundered artillery chariot then chose to run over the Qing people and withdraw to the position, the Japanese soldiers chased after him, and the invading artillery chariot had no choice but to use machine guns to strafe at the Japanese soldiers, but the Japanese soldiers were mixed in the Qing people, so as to strafe, countless Qing people were hit and killed.
The artillery chariots of the plundering retreated to the trenches in disarray, and ten of them were destroyed by Japanese soldiers!
Ten, ten! From the time the artillery chariots of the invasion entered service to the present, not a single one has been destroyed by the enemy, and now in one battle, ten have been lost!
The artillery chariot of the invasion returned to the trenches, the Qing people rushed over, the Japanese soldiers followed, the Chinese army in the trenches faced a difficult choice, if they did not shoot at the Qing people, the Japanese soldiers would kill into the trenches, or even break through the defense line of the Huaxia army, if they shot at the Qing people, it was to slaughter their own compatriots, so that the Chinese army lost the trust of their compatriots.
When he was in a dilemma, Lei Guang decisively ordered: "Shoot at the Qing people, even if you kill the Qing people, you can't let a Japanese soldier kill in the trenches!" ”
The artillery chariots and infantry of the invasion opened fire at the same time, and while the bullets hit the Japanese soldiers, they also killed the Qing people, and the Qing people were bleeding from their bodies, and the hearts of every soldier were also bleeding......
The Japanese soldiers stopped the attack when they saw the Huaxia army shooting indiscriminately, anyway, the battle destroyed ten invading artillery chariots, which was already a great achievement, and the Japanese soldiers retreated one after another.
When the Huaxia army saw the Japanese soldiers retreating, they stopped attacking, and at this time a chilling scene appeared for the Huaxia army, many surviving Qing people actually cried and chased after the Japanese soldiers, and wanted the Japanese soldiers to rescue them, of course the Japanese soldiers ignored them, and shot directly, killing a lot of Qing people.
The Huaxia Army dispatched to rescue the Qing people, only to find that the original Qing people of more than 3,000 people are now less than 300 people left, and almost all of these survivors are injured.
The battlefield was already stained red with blood, and the pool of blood on the ground was even more than an inch deep, soaked in corpses and minced flesh, and there were weeping living people.
A little boy of five or six years old lay on the body of a female corpse and screamed "Mommy" in a childish voice that made everyone who heard it cry.
There was only a small hole in the chest of the female corpse, but there was a large pool of blood under her body, obviously, she was killed by the Huaxia Army's infusion bullet, and then look at the little boy, the bones of the right arm have been broken, only the skin and flesh are left, and the right leg is also broken, hanging weakly behind it......
Two paramedics ran over to treat the little boy, but the little boy bit him hard, and the little boy shouted in a childish voice: "You killed your mother, you are a bad person......
The medical soldier was a man of five big and three rough, and when he heard the little boy's words, he couldn't hold back anymore and cried bitterly......
The morale of the entire army fell to a low point, 10 artillery and chariots were destroyed, and more than 2,700 compatriots were killed, many of whom were killed by their own hands.
The news was quickly sent to Lin Fei's desk, and before Lin Fei could recover from the shock, something that made him even more angry happened.
