Wu Zhaolin in the trench was unusually brave, and he kept strafing with his light machine gun. Xiong Bingkun actually stood up again, but his footsteps could already be seen staggering, and he was being killed by an old Maozi and retreated again and again, General Wu wanted to help him but couldn't.

After the battle lasted for more than ten minutes, they finally couldn't hold it anymore, the entire front was slowly torn apart, and there were only more than 200 brothers still fighting, and when Wu Zhaolin's machine gun bullets were finished, an old Maozi took the opportunity to stab him with a bayonet, piercing his left arm entirely.

The Russian quickly stabbed the second time, and when General Wu was about to die, a figure next to him rushed up and stabbed the old man to death. The temporary escape from death did not make Wu Zhaolin very happy, all the Russians poured over from all directions, and he knew that he would be pierced by a knife sooner or later.

Looking at the panting Zhang Biao, General Wu smiled. Life is really impermanent, when they were in Wuchang before, the two of them were a game of life and death, and killing Zhang Biao, a bastard, was Wu Zhaolin's greatest wish. But I never thought that we would fight side by side today and die together.

Zhang Biao obviously also knew what Wu Zhaolin was laughing at, and he also laughed: "General Wu, I'm not a waste, right?" ”

Wu Zhaolin didn't give him an answer, put his magazine back on, looked at the brothers who had fallen and the brothers who were still fighting, General Wu said softly: "I can bury my bones with all my brothers in this life, and I have no regrets." Zhang Biao, organize the team, let's rush forward! ”

Zhang Biao knew that the only difference between rushing up and staying here was the way to end it, so he ran to the military flag in a few steps and carried the big flag.

After nearly 20 hours of fighting, the flag has been damaged, and Jiangdong Jian'er, the words "killing the enemy and defending the country" can still be seen. The broken flag fluttered in the wind, and dozens of brothers gathered to wait for General Wu to give the final order.

General Aliwan Busky, who commanded the battle later, was actually more anxious than Wu Zhaolin, and he also participated in the Qing Dynasty a few years ago. At that time, the Chinese troops could hardly be seen, as long as they put a few guns on their own, they would flee without a trace. It's only been seven years, what happened to China? What happened to these Chinese?

Why was such a force that seemed to be able to resist allow itself to fight for another half hour? Why is it that the battle, which looks like it could be ended with a single charge, is still ringing guns?

For Lao Maozi's artillery, Xifengkou is really not a natural danger, but below Xifengkou, the Chinese blocked his steps with a new Great Wall.

"One more battalion, no! Throw in a regiment! This time we must kill all these Chinese! Artillerymen, did you see their flag? Just use it as a bombing target and open fire! ”

Shoot while charging? Just this remnant of the enemy, still use artillery? Do you need to send another regiment? A general wouldn't do such a thing if he wasn't forced to do a certain job.

Before his order could be given, a Russian signal soldier rushed over: "The report is near, General Kilingsky has sent an urgent telegram." ”

"Read."

"Our army in Miyun has been severely hit, and the deployment of the attack must be readjusted. Order your troops to retreat fifteen kilometers at once and get out of the battle. to prevent being entangled by Chinese troops. ”

The counterattack on the Miyun battlefield achieved the results Yang Xiaolin wanted, and after chasing for 20 kilometers, General Brushinov was no longer able to control his troops, and at this time the Russian army on the left flank was also attacked by Feng Guozhang, and the seventh town of the Beiyang Army was also transferred out of Beijing, posing as a posture to flank the left flank of the Russian army.

The left wing could not hold out at all when the middle road had already been defeated, and if this group of troops was attacked by the Chinese again, then Lao Maozi would lose badly from the beginning. Therefore, General Kilensky directly crossed over General Brushinov, who was commanding at the front, and gave an order to the left flank of the Russian army, telling them to immediately get out of the battle with the Chinese troops. Rendezvous with the large Russian forces behind you to avoid the same fate as the center.

Both the center and the left flanks were withdrawn, and General Kilingsky felt that the troops on the right flanks must also be out of battle. He didn't know that the front line was only a little bit away from the rear. When his order was given directly to General Ali Wan Buski, General Ali Wan Busky looked at the battlefield where the battle was about to end. A sigh was made: "Blow the trumpet, withdraw the troops." ”

This order was immediately questioned by some Russian generals: "General! We're only a few minutes away! These Chinese are already dead, as long as we send a small force up to kill them! We have the time and the ability to kill them all! ”

General Ali Wanbski didn't want to retreat either, but he felt that there was no point in fighting any longer. Destroying the remnants of the more than 100 revolutionary armies would have no effect on the Russians today.

"I know! But even if we kill them all, they will be victors. We have already lost, and there is nothing we can do to change that. A little chivalrous, according to the order of General Kilingsky, immediately retreat. ”

Just when Wu Zhaolin was about to use his life to launch the last charge in his life, the Russian troops that were on the offensive suddenly sounded the sound of the military horn of withdrawal, not only their more than 100 revolutionary soldiers who were still alive were quite stunned, but even the Russians on the battlefield were also stunned.

All of a sudden, the whole battlefield seemed to stand still. It wasn't until the Russian trumpet sounded again that the Russian colonel who led the charge glanced at the military flag close to him with a very unwilling look, and looked at the remaining hundred or so Chinese next to the military flag, and it took a while for a while to burst out of his mouth: "Withdraw!" ”

Wu Zhaolin could hardly believe that this was true! Lao Maozi's team behind him began to slowly retreat, and he didn't even react! Until Xiong Bingkun slowly moved over with the rifle and asked in a low voice: "Angkor, the Russians are gone?" ”

Wu Zhaolin nodded mechanically at this time: "Well, let's go." ”

As soon as the three words were spoken, the emotions of the soldiers on the battlefield could no longer be controlled, some cheered and some cried, and some people desperately shot into the sky, escaping death, this is the feeling.

Beijing.

Cai Ye was reporting to Commander Yang the results of this counterattack: "Commander, this battle has been fought for 21 hours since the beginning, and our side has injured more than 7,800 soldiers and wounded 12,000. More than 23,000 Russian troops were killed. 4,100 prisoners, including 10 Russian officers of colonel rank and above. More than 40,000 rifles, 200 heavy machine guns, more than 500 light machine guns, 400 artillery pieces, shells, grenades, and various bullets are being counted. ”

Cai Ye had a smile on his face when he reported, this result was really brilliant, and this glory can be said to be given by General Brushinov. It was a complete unexpected surprise for them.

Windfalls always make people extra happy, not to mention the close to three-to-one battle losses between the two sides, not to mention how important those weapons and ammunition are to Beijing now, not to mention the group of Russian prisoners, as long as they are put in Beijing City, it can be more inspiring than how many words Yuan Shikai said there.

Let's just say that Lao Maozi retreated these twenty kilometers, and when attacking, he paid attention to one by one, but when the Russians pounced on him in one breath, he was beaten back by the Chinese with a fist! Although Lao Maozi's physique really didn't care about this punch, they really lost the initiative on the battlefield. It also loses the sharpness of the attack.

What adjustments they make next, and how they will fight this battle, is no longer something they can say.

"How's Xifengkou?"

Cai Ye immediately said: "I have already transferred the 11th Division to rush there, I hope it will be in time." ”

Commander Yang didn't say anything. He didn't know that Lao Maozi had also retreated there. Although the results here were enough to make up for the losses at Xifengkou, Yang Xiaolin really hoped that the people there could hold on now.

"Songpo, the formation of the Second Army must be carried out immediately, with the troops being trained in Shandong as the main body. What I mean is to let Duan Qirui be the commander of the group army, and half a month later he will come to Beijing from Shandong to participate in the battle. Although the training time was not as sufficient as we expected, Lao Maozi would not wait for us. ”

After the Second Army marched. We can begin the work of forming the Third Army, and when the Second Army is fully capable of defending Beijing, we can let the First Army withdraw from the battlefield to rest. Take turns to fight, take turns to rest. ”

Yang Xiaolin completely adopted the practice of the Volunteer Army in North Korea, putting on a defensive posture in the face of a powerful enemy, taking turns to transfer his troops to experience the war, and using the enemy's artillery fire to make his soldiers quickly qualified. When the Russians were tired and tired of attacking, and their rear troops were replenished, they immediately launched a large-scale counterattack.

After hearing this, Cai Ye said, "Yes." I immediately sent a telegram to General Duan Qirui. ”

Yang Xiaolin turned around and pushed open the door of his headquarters, and when the warm sunlight shone on him, he suddenly felt sleepy. He had not rested since the beginning of the war, and now his spirit suddenly relaxed, and the tiredness immediately came to him, and he felt that he really wanted to sleep.

Cai Ye obviously looked at it, and followed behind Commander Yang and said, "Commander, you can rest for a while, there should be nothing urgent happening now." ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "No, there is no military top." But our fight this time is bound to have some reactions that we didn't expect. Those Westerners thought that Lao Maozi could kill us with one punch, but now they haven't hit us, and I believe that the attitude of some countries will change. It's a good time and we have to take it. ”

After stretching his waist, Yang Xiaolin washed his face with well water: "Songpo, immediately withdraw all the troops to the defense line, and at the same time organize a ceremony to enter the city, we want to publicize our victory!" Contact Lao Yuan, let the city cooperate with us, organize some people, and do things lively. Which army do you think is the right one to enter the city first? ”

Cai Yi thought for a while, and before he could come up with the result, the communication soldiers outside ran over: "Report to the commander, Xifengkou is calling, the Russian troops attacking Xifengkou have retreated on all fronts, General Wu Zhaolin asks if it is possible to withdraw the troops." ”

Yang Xiaolin couldn't believe his ears after hearing this, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and his eyes lit up immediately. Cai Ye next to him also opened his mouth and said: "Commander, it's them, we can postpone the matter of entering the city for half a day and wait for them to come back." ”

"Good!" (To be continued......)
