The sun never sets

"It's useless to talk big. How much you can eat depends on your strength. Humph, when we catch Baldy Lin, we'll see if he's really as eloquent as a glutton!"

Yuan Shikai did not believe that the Chinese could drive out the foreigners. Over the years, every time they fought with the foreigners, they were defeated and had to cede territory and pay compensation. In the Sino-French War, they were neither defeated nor won, but in the end they lost without losing. In the end, they ceded Vietnam to the French and paid a large sum of money.

Many people have reached the point where they are terrified of foreigners. In the eyes of Yuan Shikai and others, the Boxers caused such a big incident, and in the end it was the country and the people who suffered. Of course, in the eyes of Yuan Weiting, the people have nothing to do with those mud legs.

The Beiyang New Army was mobilized, ready to go into battle at any time, to give the Boxers a righteous backstab. Well, it wasn't a backstab, the Beiyang Army actually surrendered to the foreigners, and now Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, and even the whole world know about it.

Lin Yongchang asked his propaganda staff to label the Beiyang Army as traitors. He showed contempt for Yuan Shikai and others strategically, but he attached great importance to the Beiyang Army tactically. The Beiyang Army was the best trained and best equipped army in northern China. Although it was a one-time unit, the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army should not be underestimated.

In order to prevent the Beiyang Army from attacking, Lin Yongchang not only placed tens of thousands of people in Binzhou, but also asked Li Dayan to station a large army on the border between Henan and Shandong. After taking Luoyang, he would send troops to attack Shandong, so that those traitors would have no time to take care of Hebei. Marshal Lin always liked to take the initiative. Instead of expecting the Beiyang Army to stay in Shandong, it would be better to send troops to attack directly and prevent them from getting out.

The Beiyang Army was very powerful, but Li Dayan had a strong army of 200,000 men. Although most of them were still using cold weapons, it was still a 200,000-man army. It was scary to think about it. Luoyang had been under siege for three or four months, and it had not been taken yet.

After Li Dayan entered Henan, his army increased rapidly, but he only focused on military affairs, and did not insist on carrying out the land reform movement, nor did he promote the "farmers' association", "anti-counterrevolutionary" and "grievance conference" movements. As a result, Henan was full of local tyrants and evil gentry. Li Dayan had to besiege Henan while fighting against the numerous militias, bandits, and generals.

fight.

If Luoyang is captured, the troops saved can be transferred to Shandong. The officers and soldiers in Luoyang have been defending for several months, and it should be almost over. Xi'an has been captured, and Luoyang should be almost over too.

To be honest, Lin Yongchang was a little disappointed with Li Dayan, but there was nothing he could do. There were only a few people who could be used. He had to build a small steel plant, a small coal plant and other factories in Taiyuan, and he was also busy fighting the Eight-Nation Alliance. He was really too busy to do anything else, so he could only do this for now.

I hope the Henan Army can take Luoyang as soon as possible, and then keep an eye on the traitors in Shandong. Lin Yongchang is very afraid of the Beiyang Army. If he really can't keep an eye on them, then he can only smash Hebei to pieces. There is no construction without destruction, and the greater the destruction, the greater the construction. Smash the old world to pieces, and then build a new one.

Lin Yongchang is very open-minded. No matter how bad the situation is, it won’t be worse than in another time and space, right?

"boom!"

The shells exploded on the tower, and the defenders on the city were blown to pieces. "We can't hold on any longer!" The soldiers dragged their swords and guns backwards and fled into the city. They were able to hold on to the city wall for ten days, and after so many people died and were injured, they finally collapsed. They were already worthy of the salary given by the court.

The Gansu Army was defeated by the Eight-Nation Alliance in a field battle and lost Tongzhou. Dong Fuxiang led his troops to retreat to Guangqumen and continued to fight with the pursuing British army. Then Guangqumen was lost, and Dong Fuxiang retreated again, leading his troops to retreat to Dongbianmen, Chaoyangmen, and Zhengyangmen to continue to resist. In terms of sophisticated equipment, the Gansu Army was far inferior to the Beiyang Army, but in terms of bravery and fighting skills, the Gansu Army performed better than Nie Shicheng's troops.

However, the number of Gansu troops was too small, and the number of troops kept decreasing. Allied troops on both wings withdrew. No matter how brave the Gansu troops were, or how much Dong Fuxiang encouraged them, it was useless. The Eight-Nation Alliance poured in from all the city gates. The Gansu troops were gradually surrounded by superior enemies. Dong Fuxiang could only withdraw from Beijing with one or two thousand remaining soldiers and prepare to continue fighting the foreigners.

Dong Fuxiang was indeed a brave general, but Empress Dowager Cixi fled with Emperor Guangxu after hearing that the city had been broken. Before leaving, she issued an imperial decree to "dismiss him from his post and investigate him, and never re-employ him", which made Dong Fuxiang and the Gansu soldiers extremely angry. They had come all the way from Gansu to Beijing to fight, killing and wounding many foreign devils. More than 10,000 people were reduced to less than 2,000 people, but the court treated them like this!

Cixi had been playing both sides, declaring war on the foreign powers while sending food, water, guns and ammunition to Dongjiaominxiang. Now that the war had been lost, Empress Dowager Cixi put the blame on the war faction, and Dong Fuxiang was the person the foreign powers hated the most, so Yehenara Xingzhen dismissed Dong first. Anyway, the Gansu Army was finished, and it was the right time to push him out to take the blame. In contrast, Cixi did not dare to dismiss Yuan Shikai at this time, and the Beiyang Army was still intact.

When Dong Fuxiang learned of the imperial court's order, he was so angry that he said in front of the soldiers in the military camp that he would go back to his hometown to recruit soldiers and continue fighting the foreign devils.

Soon, news came that the empress dowager and her entourage, who had disguised themselves and fled to Zhangjiakou, ran into the rebels. After a melee, the empress dowager and the emperor died near Ruiyun Temple, and the princes, ministers and palace guards who accompanied them were all killed. According to gossip, a group of Gansu soldiers were dissatisfied with the court's treatment of them, and in a state of excitement, they assassinated the emperor.

After hearing the news, Dong Fuxiang was shocked and angry. He was somewhat dissatisfied with the court and the Queen Mother, but he would never commit regicide. He was not sure whether it was done by his subordinates. Before, many Gansu soldiers were dispersed and did not return to the organization, becoming vagrants. Maybe they really did it?

There were also reports that it was done by Yuan Shikai, the governor of Shandong. This was outrageous. Yuan Shikai, who was far away in Jinan, was not good at calculating. How could he send troops to do such a shocking thing? Even more outrageous was that it was done by the governors and governors-general in the south. They said that Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kunyi and others colluded with the foreigners and sent death squads to ambush near the capital. When the Empress Dowager and the Emperor fled the capital, they took advantage of the chaos to attack.

As soon as the incident happened, many rumors emerged, all kinds of arguments were flying around, involving all kinds of bigwigs. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something wrong. Others might not be able to see it, but Yuan Shikai saw it clearly. He sent a few people to Hebei to inquire about the news. All the information and clues pointed to an evil bald man.

"How vicious is Baldy Lin!" Yuan Shikai angrily slammed the table, his face flushed red, "I will kill this beast!"

Chapter 2: The Black Hand Holds the Overlord Whip High ()

Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu were killed. Who did it? Of course it was Marshal Lin.

Who else would do such a thing except him?

Previously, Lin Yongchang planned to let Yuan Shikai take the lead while he developed himself. However, Zhang Zhidong, Yuan Shikai and others did not play with him, and the court did not tell him the truth. Lin Yongchang got angry and simply overturned the previous plan, preparing to bring something different to the world, such as "land reform", "united front", etc.

What third way? Screw it!

As the saying goes, "If you don't do it, you'll do it all the way." Since he had decided to take the "old path," he might as well go all the way. It was he who instigated the incident between Cixi and Guangxu. To Marshal Lin, the situation in the entire Hebei region was as clear as the palm of his hand. He sent Wang Hu out with 400 Tibetan soldiers waiting in Huai

Come.

Why there? Because there was only one place for Empress Dowager Cixi and her people to go. There were tens of thousands of foreign devils to the east of Beijing, and the Boxers were everywhere in Hebei and Shanxi. After many fights with the officers and soldiers, many Boxer leaders declared that they would chop off the heads of the dog Empress Dowager and the dog Emperor.

In the three northeastern provinces, Chengde has nearly 20 Russians, which is more dangerous than Beijing. The only place Empress Dowager Cixi can go is the Mongolian steppe. The main reason is that this is what he has read in the history books. The historical trend of this world has not changed for the time being, so just copy the homework. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter, Lin Yongchang always has a second plan.

So Wang Hu took Doji, Sangji, and hundreds of Tibetans who did not speak the same language to wait in Huailai. After the disguised Empress Dowager Cixi and her entourage escaped, Wang Hu first ordered his men to fire guns and cannons, and then rushed forward to initiate hand-to-hand combat.

After chopping the men to pieces, Wang Hu also checked and found that there were indeed several men without testicles. No testicles was right, which meant he had not killed the wrong man. After doing this, Wang Hu rode his horse around in a big circle and returned to the army. As for the Tibetan soldiers, they had no idea what had happened. They just fought a battle, took some reward money, and then went back to Zhangbei. The Dalai Lama would take them back to Tibet to recover the territory occupied by the British.

The battle process is very fast, and you can run away after the fight. It's really exciting.

There are some hidden dangers here. If he is really a ruthless person, he should have killed Wang Hu and all the hidden soldiers afterwards. But Lin Yongchang has not reached that point after all, and he is not afraid. History is a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone. Whoever has the loudest voice is right. History is written by the victor. As long as you win, black can be said to be white, and white can be said to be black.

Now Marshal Lin has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command. If we add the heroes on Li Dayan's side, Marshal Lin has 500,000 brothers. He is very loud. He said that Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu were killed by the Gansu Army, so it was the Gansu Army that killed them. Why did he say that? It was to recruit Dong Fuxiang's group.

The Gansu Army's equipment was not good, but they were really good at fighting! Nie Shicheng's army was completely wiped out, but Dong Fuxiang fought the foreign devils from beginning to end, and his morale was high despite more than 80% casualties. Looking across China, there are not many such troops. Dong Fuxiang was a fierce general, and the generals under him were also fierce men. They did not collapse even when they were at the end of their rope. This kind of combat effectiveness and organization is not worse than the Type A regiment under Marshal Lin. If not stronger.

Anyway, Lin Yongchang had no confidence that he could continue to fight after suffering 80% casualties. Of course, he would not fight against an enemy that had an absolute advantage in both manpower and firepower. Concentrating superior manpower and firepower to encircle and beat the enemy was what Marshal Lin liked to do.

Since the march to Shanxi, Lin Yongchang has fought dozens of battles, big and small, and almost every time he won a great victory. The generals in the army thought that he had many strange strategies, used troops erratically, and was unpredictable, but only he knew that sometimes fighting seemed risky, but in fact there was no danger at all. Fighting with the whole map may not always win, but it will never suffer a loss.

Dong Fuxiang was different. He was really fierce. We didn't see his bravery in the expedition to Xinjiang with Zuo Zongtang, but we saw his attitude in fighting against the Eight-Nation Alliance. The Gansu Army was equipped with some foreign guns and cannons, but there were still many people using swords and spears. It was beyond many people's expectations that they could fight against the Eight-Nation Alliance for so long and kill so many foreigners.

Lin Yongchang didn't think highly of Li Hongzhang, but he admired Zuo Zongtang. Dong Fuxiang was a good fighter and an old subordinate of Zuo Zongtang, so Lin Yongchang was attracted to him. The most important thing was that Dong Fuxiang firmly opposed the foreign devils, which was completely different from Yuan Shikai and his ilk.

It is very difficult to recruit Dong Fuxiang, but it is not impossible.

But that was all for the future. Lin Yongchang only sent some medicine and food to Dong Fuxiang. The most important thing now was to beat up the foreign devils! The fight had already started in Langfang, and the situation was very fierce. Wang Qi repeatedly called for help. Lin Yongchang left Wang Zuolin to guard Tianjin and move everything away. He personally led his troops to Langfang.

Langfang Railway Station is an important node on the railway line from Tianjin to Beijing. Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo had fought fiercely with the Eight-Nation Alliance several times here. The traces of the war can still be seen on the water supply station and the carriages. Wang Qi led a Type A regiment and many militiamen to capture Langfang with great difficulty. Then he worked hard to dig trenches, and then Yamaguchi Sushin led the Fifth Division to kill.

Among the Eight-Nation Alliance in North China, the Japanese army had the most complete and largest organization. Except for the Russian army, the armies of other countries were either pieced together or too few in number. The Japanese army brought all the Fifth Division over. In addition to the 11th Infantry Regiment that was abandoned in Tianjin, Yamaguchi Sushin also had the 12,21,22th, 20000st, and nd Infantry Regiments, plus special forces such as engineers, artillery, cavalry, baggage, and weapons services. The total strength of the Japanese army once reached people.

After leading his troops into Beijing and looting a lot, Yamaguchi Sushin immediately led his troops to Tianjin. On the way, he heard that Langfang was occupied by the Boxers, so he deployed his troops without saying a word and launched an attack on the railway station.

Wang Qi only had one Type A regiment under his command. When he heard that the Japanese army was about to attack,

The soldiers relied on trenches, stations and various buildings to resist. The Japanese cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry chased and fought each other in the wilderness. Although the Japanese were better equipped, the Mongolian cavalry had more people. Neither side was able to drive the opponent out. The information on the battlefield was clear to Wang Qi and Yamaguchi Suchen.

Having failed to gain an advantage in the cavalry battle, the Japanese army lined up their artillery and bombarded the Langfang Railway Station. However, because the supply line was cut off and too many shells were consumed under the city of Beijing, the Japanese artillery preparation lasted only 20 minutes.

After the bombardment, a sharp whistle sounded, and Japanese soldiers with bayoneted rifles appeared. Their formation was tight and neat, and they were the best targets in Wang Qi's eyes. But unfortunately, he had no rapid-fire guns or heavy machine guns, so he could only let the soldiers hide in the trenches or behind the bunkers and shoot at the enemy.

Chapter 96: Hand-to-Hand Combat

The Japanese soldiers were dressed in neat uniforms and marched in neat steps. They lined up and fired at the broken walls of the train station, making a "puff puff puff" sound. Many of the rebel soldiers who were attacking were hit by bullets and fell to the ground screaming. Many were shot in the head and died without even making a sound.

Although the Japanese volleys fired very quickly, the rebels had the railway station, trenches and some surrounding buildings as shelters, so the casualties were not too great. Compared with the rebels, the casualties of the Japanese soldiers exposed in the wilderness were more than three times greater. From time to time, someone in the neat queue was knocked down by bullets, and the Japanese soldiers behind them would run a few steps to fill the gap, and the queue would soon become neat again.

In general, the Japanese army was better equipped. They had dozens of cannons, even if they were outdated, but cannons were still cannons. They only had cannons. The Murata rifles made by the Japanese had various minor flaws, and were not much better than the Winchester used by the rebels, and were inferior to the current version of the Mosin-Nagant.

Except for the Type A regiment, the equipment of other volunteer troops could not compare with that of the Japanese army. The Japanese army won by being numerous and powerful. They advanced to a distance of two or three hundred meters under the hail of bullets and began to fire round after round of volleys. The Japanese soldiers wrapped in white leggings either stood up or half-crouched to shoot. The muzzles of the rifles in rows spewed flames, and white smoke gradually enveloped the area where the Japanese army was.

There are some problems with the ratio of Japanese smokeless gunpowder, and some smoke will still be produced when shooting, but it is not a big problem.

As the battle progressed, the Japanese army spread out to both sides of the battlefield, and the infantry outflanked the railway station from the flanks and rear. This is the most classic tactic, attracting fire from the front, and then launching a flank attack or simply surrounding the enemy. This is how the Prussians fought at Sedan, stepping on the "world's first army" to reach the top. Napoleon III became a prisoner in that battle, and he destroyed the reputation of Napoleon and the French Army.

Later, the German Army inherited the Prussian tactical thinking and taught it to the Japanese Army. Fighting is nothing more than a few forms, attack, defense, engagement, retreat. The Prussians defeated the French with mobility and offensive tactics, and the Japanese defeated the officers and soldiers with the same tactics, and now they are repeating the same tricks.

Yamaguchi Sushin was a veteran general. When he found that Langfang was occupied by the Boxers, he did not take the enemy seriously at first. Even Dong Fuxiang's Gansu Army was driven away. The mob relied on their numbers. How could it be difficult to deal with them?

However, after the fight, they found that the rioters who occupied the train station actually had many new rapid-fire rifles. The 12th Infantry Regiment attacked and could not defeat the enemy after a long exchange of fire. The exchange of fire failed to win, and Yamaguchi Sushin did not blindly launch a bayonet charge.

There were too many Chinese, and it was not worthwhile to fight hand-to-hand, so they decided to go around. So a large group of Japanese soldiers went around the Long River and ran into the ambush of the rebels. The local cannons and foreign guns in the village fired together, and there were bursts of gunfire in the nearby woods, which made the Japanese vanguard dizzy. The Japanese army was well-trained. After a while of confusion, they quickly reacted. The soldiers took off their rifles and fired back fiercely in the direction of the gunfire.

The equipment of the Type B regiment was too poor. Each regiment had only a dozen foreign rifles, so they had no advantage in the shootout. So their tactics were simple: they would fight at close range, and when the bullets in the gun chambers were all used up, they would go forward to fight hand-to-hand. When the Japanese army deployed in a horizontal formation, the rebels rushed forward with long rifles and broadswords.

Before the Japanese army could complete the formation change and hastily fired a round of volleys, they were forced into hand-to-hand combat. However, the Chinese had no martial ethics and although they clearly wanted to engage in hand-to-hand combat, they threw a round of grenades before the battle, blowing the Japanese army to pieces.

The hand grenade was a weapon that was once briefly popular in history. Later, it was eliminated due to the development of muskets and the fact that it was too heavy. Only the term "grenadier" was left to represent the elite.

In today's world, only the rebel soldiers under Lin Yongchang's command are equipped with grenades on a large scale. Rifles and bullets are difficult to make, but grenades are much easier. In order to make up for the lack of firepower, the arsenals in Taiyuan and Baoding are working at full capacity to produce grenades.

The explosion effect of the black powder grenades was not very ideal, and some did not even explode, but they still blew many gaps in the Japanese army's ranks. Then the rebel soldiers rushed forward,

They fought together with the relatively short Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese were well-trained, but they were at a disadvantage in height, and they were ambushed by the rebels who were several times their number. They were quickly cut into several sections and entered a stage of fighting on their own. Unlike the officers and soldiers who were afraid of hand-to-hand combat, the rebels were mostly equipped with swords and spears, and they could not fight without close combat.

The fierce and bloody hand-to-hand combat lasted less than 20 minutes and ended with the defeat of the Japanese army. Captain Hoshino Gen was killed at the beginning of the battle. He was shot in the head by a sharpshooter using a Mosin-Nagant rifle. Squadron Leader Kanda led the remaining troops to break out of the encirclement and ran in the direction they came from.

The Mongolian cavalry appeared at the edge of the battlefield, following behind the defeated Japanese army, and calmly cut down the enemy with sabers. If they had not run into the Japanese cavalry, there might not be many Japanese soldiers left after being hit by a club.

The cavalry of both sides fought several short and bloody battles in the wilderness. After the Japanese infantry appeared in the field of vision, the Mongolian cavalry retreated again. With more people, they might be able to defeat the enemy infantry, but it was too uneconomical. Only the bravest and most brainless people would think of using cavalry to charge the infantry in a scattered formation.

The Japanese army, which was ambushed, did not dare to be careless and gathered their forces together. Some wanted to retreat, while others wanted to advance. In the end, Kanda decided to return with the remaining troops. Along the way, they suffered a lot of cold guns and cold artillery. This was a new way of fighting, which Marshal Lin affectionately called "Sparrow War". The Japanese army was overwhelmed,

In the evening, Yamaguchi Sushen received the news that his detachment had been ambushed and lost four to five hundred men. The brave general who had once conquered Weihaiwei was very surprised. After asking about the course of the battle, Yamaguchi Sushen hesitated. The enemy standing in front of him was no less brave than Dong Fuxiang's troops, and there were more of them, so it might be difficult to deal with them.

But... after a moment, Lieutenant General Yamaguchi no longer hesitated. He stood up from his stool and shouted an order: "Leave only three shells for each cannon and use up all the others. After the bombardment, the 21st Infantry Regiment will take over from the 22nd Infantry Regiment and launch a hand-to-hand charge!"

Yamaguchi Sushin's face was stern, and he swept across the officers' faces with a hawk-like gaze, "If you can't take the Langfang Railway Station within an hour, Major Nagawa, you will commit seppuku!"

The commander of the 21st Infantry Regiment, Nagao Kanji, felt his heart tighten and stomped his right leg hard on the ground, "Hai!"

After receiving the order, various shouts rang out again from the Japanese artillery positions. Yellow shells fell to the ground one after another, and shells whistled out, destroying Langfang even more thoroughly.

Chapter 97: Fierce Battle

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

"boom!"

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The Japanese artillery roared again, shaking the buildings in the train station. But to be honest, the field artillery used by the Japanese army was just thunder with little effect. The main artillery of the Japanese army in this expedition to China was a regiment of 7cm mountain artillery, a battalion of 7cm field artillery, and a squadron of 12cm howitzers (which did not participate in the battle).

Because the 120mm howitzer squadron was too heavy, it was not dragged to Beijing, but was abandoned in Tianjin. Now it is all in the hands of Marshal Lin. The Japanese were preparing to use the Type 31 mountain and field artillery to replace the old artillery, but before they had time to replace it, the Boxer Rebellion broke out, and the Type 31 mountain and field artillery only existed on paper.

The 7cm mountain guns and 7cm field guns used by the Japanese artillery were the products of the last military innovation. They were very effective in attacking neatly arranged line infantry, but not so effective in bombarding buildings. If the Japanese had enough shells, it would be fine. The problem was that almost all the shells the Japanese carried with them were dropped into Beijing. At this time, the artillery seemed to lack stamina. Less than minutes later, the artillery stopped.

Then the familiar whistle sounded again, and Japanese soldiers walked towards the ruined train station in rows.

"Hold on! Hold on!"

"Everyone follow my orders, get closer and fight!"

"There's nothing to be afraid of from the Orientals!"

The NCOs and officers cheered the soldiers loudly. The veterans of the Type A regiment didn't need encouragement, and the new recruits didn't need much encouragement either. The Boxer Rebellion had been going on in Hebei for four or five years. The people here were fighting the officers and soldiers, and the foreign devils. The current shelling scene was very scary, but everyone was still holding on.

As long as they hid in the trenches, they would be fine. When the bombardment was over, they returned to their positions and fired their guns. Although they also suffered many casualties, the Japanese suffered even more casualties.

The Japanese soldiers were getting closer and closer, some of them started shooting at the train station, while others continued to move forward with their rifles fixed with bayonets. The sound of gunfire was like dense raindrops, and the rebel soldiers at the train station were in the midst of a violent storm.

Yamaguchi Suchen used a telescope to observe the battlefield in the distance. There was no counterattack from the train station, as if the enemy had disappeared. But Lieutenant General Yamaguchi knew that it was just an illusion. The Boxers were not eliminated, nor did they escape. Instead, they were waiting for the best time to open fire.

The closer they got to the station, the more bodies they saw on the ground. The Japanese soldiers looked nervously in the direction of the train station. The bodies of their comrades on the ground reminded them that this was a battlefield and that people would die in war. No matter how the officers boasted that the Imperial Japanese Army was invincible, that was not the case.

They had attacked three times, but were driven back by the enemy each time. If they were truly invincible, why would they leave behind so many bodies?

The companions around them gave the soldiers a false sense of security. With so many people together, it didn't make sense that they would be the most unlucky ones, right? However, as the bodies on the ground increased, the soldiers walked slower and slower, and the sergeants' loud shouts could not dispel the fear in their hearts.

Sergeant Danmo walked at the front of the line with his head held high and chest puffed out, loudly encouraging the soldiers, "Don't be afraid! Bullets won't hit the brave!"

He was short-sighted and had no money to buy glasses, so he couldn't see clearly ten steps away, so he was very brave when he was lined up for execution. The other soldiers were full of fear and indifference towards the train station ahead... But Sergeant Danmo still had his chest and belly protruding, because he couldn't see that several sharpshooters were aiming at his head and body.

"One hundred steps!"

"shooting!"

"Snapped!"

Sergeant Danmo's whole body was shaken, and blood spurted from his head and chest, and he fell to the ground without a sound. In the war, the death of a sergeant was so inconspicuous that no one noticed it except the Japanese soldiers who were shocked.

The shadowy Boxers emerged from the trenches. They either stood in the trenches and fired, or hid in the ruined buildings and fired their guns. They just refused to have a fair fight with the samurai of the Empire of Japan.

"dash forward!"

The officers brandished their sabers, shouted orders, and were then shot dead. The Boxers were too unethical and always took these brave officers as their priority targets. In the previous attack, low-ranking officers suffered heavy casualties. This time, with the new troops, officers were still the focus of being shot.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Many bullets flew from the direction of the train station, and many Japanese soldiers were hit and fell to the ground like rag bags. The casualties of their comrades aroused the anger of the remaining soldiers, who howled like wild animals and rushed to the train station quickly. Many people were knocked down by bullets on the way to the charge, but more people rushed forward.

In the command post two miles east of Langfang Railway Station, Wang Qi put down his binoculars and gave an order: "Let Liu Shijiu take people to support the railway station!"

Liu Chengxiang's nickname is "Liu Nineteen" because he is nineteen years old this year. If it is next year, should he change his nickname to "Liu Twenty?" There are all kinds of people in the Boxer Rebellion, including gentry, farmers, craftsmen, boatmen, etc. Liu Nineteen can stand out among these people because he dares to fight and fight.

At the train station, the rebels first threw a wave of grenades, then rushed forward with their weapons. Grenades are good and powerful, and can effectively make up for the lack of firepower of the rebels, but now they are all used up. The bullets are almost gone, what should I do next?

The people on the battlefield had no time to think about this problem. In their eyes, there were only densely packed enemies. The Japanese put in a lot of effort this time, and piled up more than 3,000 soldiers on the narrow battlefield. More than 3,000 bayonets surged in, flooding the strongholds held by the rebels one by one.

Although the morale of the rebels was high, the Japanese army was too large in number, and the outlying strongholds were quickly lost. The Japanese army rushed into the core area of the railway station, and the two sides fought on the remains of the railway tracks, next to the damaged carriages, in the water supply station and on the second floor of the station, wherever people could stand.

When Liu Chengxiang's troops attacked, most of the train station had been lost. The fresh troops who used cold weapons rushed in and curbed the Japanese offensive momentum, but failed to drive the Japanese out. As the sun set, the bloody fight in the train station became more intense.
