"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Several grenades exploded, and the sappers of the 17th Army of the Imperial Army, who were preparing to blast the walls of Shengjing City, suffered heavy losses. There were even a few explosive packets that were detonated, and the violent explosion left the bones of the sappers involved in this operation, and even the Qing troops on the city wall shook and almost fell to the ground.

The grenade is not a high-tech weapon, after the army of the Chinese Empire used grenades on the battlefield on a large scale, the Western powers also developed their own grenades. It's just that because the performance of gunpowder is not as good as that of gunpowder used by the Imperial Chinese Army, the power of use is lacking. The Qing army purchased a large number of weapons and equipment from the British, and grenades were one of them. Moreover, the Qing army also began to make its own cheap and powerful weapons.

"Alas! Holy shit, it's almost! Ordered to send troops, focusing on firing at the Qing troops near the city walls. The sappers of another platoon were ready to attack. Chen Wenjie, commander of the 17th Army of the Imperial Army, ordered. It was about to blow up the walls of Shengjing City, but in the end it fell short.

"Yes, Commander!" Major General Chen Wenjie's adjutant also went to give orders with a cold face. The attack was frustrated, which made the soldiers not feel good.

Soon, the artillerymen once again intensified the shelling, focusing the shelling on the city walls. Dense shells fell, and the Qing army on the city wall cried wolf. Many Qing soldiers were directly torn to pieces by the heavy artillery fire.

Dozens of soldiers from the second platoon of the engineer company of the 17th Infantry Brigade struck again. When performing a blasting mission. Engineers are undoubtedly a high-risk class. However, on the battlefield, they no longer care about their own safety. If the walls of Shengjing City could not be destroyed sooner. The long time the main force could not storm the city, the greater the casualties would be paid.

The rest of the infantry, too, began to shoot at the city walls to cover the movement of the sappers. The Qing soldiers on the city wall braved the bullets of the Imperial Army to prevent the Imperial sappers from approaching the city wall. In the process, there were of course sappers who were killed or wounded. But the Qing army paid heavy losses for this. They want to attack the Imperial sappers. You have to poke your head out from behind the women's wall. And at this time, the snipers who have been prepared for a long time are not vegetarians. The last wave of sappers attacked the soldiers, and the whole army was annihilated. This made the snipers very self-reproachful. They boasted of being the best marksmen in the Imperial Army, and they still used specially made sniper rifles. As a result, the cover of the sappers has not been completed, so where does this leave their faces? Therefore, now they have also vented all their anger on the Qing army.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Several infantry guns fired at the walls of Shengjing City at close range. This weighs only 250 kg. Infantry support artillery capable of reaching direct fire. As soon as the troops were equipped, they were welcomed by the fighters. This infantry gun was more powerful than mortars and could fire directly at enemy forts. Especially in the battle and street fighting, the power is huge.

Several shells exploded in the tower on the city wall, and the tower was blown up with holes. Dozens of Qing soldiers were buried in the rubble, unknown for their lives and deaths. Under the full cover of the Imperial Army, the sappers approached the walls once again. This time. Several Qing soldiers tried to throw grenades to kill the imperial sappers, but. As soon as they emerged, they were killed by the snipers of the Imperial Army. The rest of the people were so frightened that they had to throw the grenade down indiscriminately. As a result, the grenade was not on target at all and did not cause any damage to the Imperial sappers.

The sapper shovels in the hands of the sappers were digging quickly on the ground. In two minutes, a large pit was dug under the city walls. Subsequently, more than three hundred kilograms of explosives were buried inside. After the long fuse was ignited, the sappers ran wildly. Once 300 kilograms of explosives explode, the power produced will be very staggering. If they don't stay away, I'm afraid they will all be injured by mistake.

"Hiss!" When the fuse is ignited, it hisses. The fire was rapidly approaching. Two minutes later, the sappers, who had just run a few hundred meters, scrambled to the ground.

"Boom!" An earth-shattering explosion sounded, and the entire Shengjing City seemed to shake as if the earth was shaking. The city wall on the east side of Shengjing City collapsed in the violent shaking, although not all of them collapsed, but the collapsed part was hundreds of meters long. The Qing soldiers on the city wall were either blown away in the explosion or buried alive by rubble. Even those Imperial sappers who had already run a few hundred meters would inevitably be hit by the catapult at any time. Some have also been injured as a result. However, with enough smiles on everyone's faces to destroy the walls of Shengjing City, their mission has been accomplished. Next, it's up to those infantry comrades.

"Smack!" The teacup in the hand of Shengjing's general Xien fell to the ground at once and shattered. Originally, he was about to drink tea, but the sudden violent explosion scared him enough, and the teacup in his hand was not held steady.

Regardless of the tea splashed all over his body, Xien suddenly jumped up from his chair: "What's the matter?" What happened? ”

Within a few minutes, a subordinate ran in and reported to Sheen with a frightened face, "Your Excellency, something is wrong. The eastern wall was blown open by the rebels. Now General Yixiang is trying his best to plug the gap. ”

"What? How so? Theon's eyes went black and she nearly fell to the ground. Shengjing City is the first fortified city in the Northeast! But only half a day after the battle began, it was broken by the rebels. And it will take several days for Russian reinforcements to arrive, what can I do!

"Come on, sue sù Yixiang, no matter what, you have to keep the rebels out of the city. If you really can't stop it, you will use street fighting to drag down those rebels. Shogun immediately sent a telegram to the Imperial Court, asking for reinforcements from the Imperial Court to speed up. Sheen said hurriedly. Obviously, if the reinforcements can't come in advance, then Shengjing City can't stand it. When the time comes, not to mention that they want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, sit back and watch the Russians and the Chinese Empire fight to the death, they will be killed first.

"Yes, sir!" The subordinate hurriedly went to convey the order. Xien, on the other hand, drafted the telegram himself and sent it to Peking. Ask the imperial court to get in touch with the Russians so that the Russians can get to Shengjing sooner.

It's just that the Cossack cavalry of the Russians has already been dispatched. Even if Beijing got in touch with Irkutsk, the Governor of the Far East, Muravyov, would not be able to get in touch with the Cossack cavalry! Therefore, the Qing army was in Shengjing, and it was obviously unbearable.

"Yuming, immediately turn your people over, and stop those rebels no matter what. I'll send you reinforcements at once. Yi Xiang, commander of the 19th Army of the Qing Army, ordered.

"Yes, General!" Yuming, the commander of the 75th Infantry Division of the Qing Army, had no choice but to send all the remaining troops of the 75th Infantry Division. During this half-day battle, his 75th Infantry Division had already suffered heavy losses. By now, his infantry division had lost three or four thousand people. Now that the city wall has been blown down, the army of the Chinese Empire will definitely take the opportunity to attack it. His troops would bear the brunt of the onslaught of the Imperial Chinese Army.

"Quick! The walls have collapsed, attack them, and kill all those clear dogs! The soldiers of the 17th Infantry Brigade of the Imperial Army, which was less than three hundred meters away from the city wall, immediately launched an attack on the gap in the city wall.

Those Qing troops who survived on the city walls fought back. Many Imperial soldiers fell on the way to attack. However, under the cover of other troops, they reached the gap in the city wall.

Several Imperial soldiers tried to enter Shengjing City through the gap, but as soon as they climbed the rubble, they were fired upon by Qing rifle fire, and several Imperial soldiers were shot dead on the spot.

"Mortar fire!" A major battalion commander ordered.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Two mortars, quickly fired a few shells into the gap in the wall. The Qing army, hiding behind the rubble, was torn to pieces by shells.

And the soldiers of the empire also took the opportunity to attack the city of Shengjing. began to engage in a fierce exchange of fire with the Qing army.

In order to resist the attack of the imperial army, the Qing army also worked desperately, and they gathered a large number of troops at the gap. The Imperial soldiers who broke into the city were completely caught in a bitter battle. This situation was not alleviated until a few heavy machine guns entered the city. Under the intensive fire of heavy machine guns, the Qing counterattack was contained, and after huge casualties, the Qing army even had to retreat.

As more and more Imperial soldiers entered Shengjing City, the 17th Brigade of the Imperial Army, relying on the gap in the city wall, had established a solid defensive line nearby. Moreover, from this line of defense continued to expand into the city, gradually compressing the living space of the Qing army in the city.

The commander of the 17th Army of the Imperial Army seized the opportunity and threw the 17th Infantry Brigade and the 35th Infantry Brigade into the attack on the Qing army. Under the fierce blows of the Imperial Army, the 75th Infantry Division of the Qing Army suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the division's casualties, and had to retreat near the eastern wall of Shengdong, completely losing this area to the Imperial Army.

Yi Xiang, the commander of the 19th Army of the Qing Army, also began to transfer troops and began to transfer other units of the 19th Army to the eastern city of Shengdong, wanting to resist the attack of the Imperial Army. However, it now seems that a single qiē will be in vain.

Originally, Shengjing's general Xien also wanted to rely on Shengjing City to block the attack of the imperial army, and held out until Russian reinforcements arrived. However, in the end, it fell short. Obviously, with the strong strength of the Imperial Army, the Qing army in Shengjing City would be wiped out before the Russians arrived. (To be continued......)
