Just after the New Year, Feng Quan ordered the troops to assemble urgently, and ordered Chief Instructor Zhang Lingfu to lead a hundred troops and all reserves to stay at the Zhongtiao Mountain Base, and implement military control. Unknown people from the outside could be killed on the spot. Feng Quan personally led the 10 most powerful troops. An elite hundred-man team took cars and rushed to Yuguan.

Yuguan and Shanhaiguan basically refer to the same place. Shanhaiguan was called Yuguan in ancient times, also known as Yuguan, Linyuguan, Linyuguan and Linluguan. It was established in the third year of Emperor Wen's reign in the Sui Dynasty and was named Linyuguan.

In September of the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, General Xu Da established Shanhaiwei in Shanhaiguan. Because Yuguan is close to the mountains and faces the sea, it was renamed Shanhaiguan.

Yuguan, or Yuguan Town, is located in the central area of ​​Funing County, Qinhuangdao City, 20 miles west of the county. Yuguan is located between the high mountain Beiniuding in the north and the Bohai Sea in the south. It is a dangerous place and can be attacked. The terrain of Yuguan is particularly steep, and its geography The location is particularly important, with Yanshan Mountain to the north and Bohai Sea to the south. It is the choke point from North China to the Northeast. The Jingshan and Shenshan railways are connected here. It has been known as the "key to the two Beijings" since ancient times and is a battleground for military strategists.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui was guarding Shanhaiguan. He planned to defect to Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang. He heard that Chen Yuanyuan, a famous prostitute in Suzhou who had become his concubine, was taken away by the king. Wu Sangui, who was full of blood, was furious and became angry. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he betrayed the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. He sent a military invitation to the Qing army, his old enemy, and led the army to defect to Dorgon. He also opened the door to allow the Qing soldiers to enter the country and fight against Li Zicheng's peasant uprising. The army fought, and from then on the dynasties changed, and the country changed hands.

After the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces in 1900, Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao and other places allowed foreign troops to station. The so-called "Yuguan natural barrier" has long been open to the public. In particular, the Japanese military camp is only 2 kilometers away from Shanhaiguan City, and the Japanese garrison is stationed at the train station outside the south gate. , not far from the east gate is the Japanese Kwantung Army station. The south gate and east gate are both under the surveillance of the Japanese army. We can only enter and exit the north gate and west gate. The line from Weiyuan City to Wujialing, one kilometer northeast of Yuguan, is controlled by The Japanese Kwantung Army was in the hands of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Moreover, the terrain of this line was higher than the Great Wall near Shanhaiguan. They were condescending and had an advantage.

Before the war, the total strength of the Japanese army in Yuguan was about 3,000, with 40 field guns, 3 trains of armored vehicles, tanks, 8 aircraft, and 2 warships.

The 9th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Northeastern Army led by the patriotic general Lieutenant General He Zhuguo is stationed here. However, the only squadron in Yuguan City is Shi Shian's 626th Regiment, while the two battalions of the 625th Regiment and the 6' Regiment are stationed here. On the outskirts of Yuyuguan, the total strength of the troops was only 2,257, and the only heavy weapons were mortars, flat-fire cannons and machine guns.

Although Zhang Xueliang was dismissed from class because of his non-resistance after the September 18th Incident, under the condemnation of the entire Chinese people, after all, his father Zhang Zuolin had a profound background in the Northeast Army. This guy came to power again and served as the acting chairman of the Peking Branch of the Military Commission. .

Feng Quan led 10 centurions to rush for reinforcements at starry night and arrived at an unknown small valley near the east gate of Yuguan. Damn it! The boss is a cow. Where did they get the ammunition? When they came out of the base, they were still wondering. , How can we fight with only a few arms? How can we fight like this? I didn’t expect that the boss would hoard all the arms here.

The boys numbly allocated weapons and ammunition, a mortar battery PM1938 heavy mortar, bound to shoot Zhu Yuan, the black muzzle pointed at the 40 field guns in the Japanese artillery position; the rest of the boys laid an ambush.

On the mountains on both sides of the east gate of Yuguan, we waited for the Japanese troops to enter the pass.

Feng Quan was unwilling to contact Zhang Xueliang, and the Lieutenant General of the Ninth Brigade, He Zhuguo, was far away in Peiping, so he planned to contact Shi Shi'an, the leader of the 626th Regiment.

It was already noon on January 1, 1933. The island nation's residents in Yuguan suddenly received a notice from the Japanese military police, and they all started to flee toward the Eight-Nation Allied Forces camp in chaos. Seeing this, the smart Chinese people also knew that a war was about to happen.

They all packed up their belongings and took a car out of the city to escape.

There were only more than 1,000 Northeastern troops of the 626th Regiment left in Yuguan City. Feng Quan led his friends in two trucks, carrying a Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun, 5 M2 heavy machine guns and a large number of bullets, and successfully found Shi Shian's regiment.

After the leader expressed his intention to come, Shi Shian was so excited that he burst into tears when he saw these heavy weapons. Damn it! Ever since Xiao Liuzi handed over Fengtian Military Factory to Little Japan, he has never seen so many heavy machine guns.

Captain Shi Shian wiped his tears and said, "Good friend, I won't say anything, just one word, fight! Just as you said, we will deal with the Japs' garrison, you will deal with the Kwantung Army, and

Their artillery and airplanes are amazing. No merit will be rewarded. Zhang Xueliang has been kind to me. I can't abandon him and ignore him. I will never stop the people below me who are willing to go with you after this battle.

!!”

"Haha, Commander Shi is serious. I am doing this for your own good, brother. You are now like a tree without roots and a tree without water. Sooner or later, you will be annexed by other troops. Commander Shi has a high righteousness. My father-in-law admires me. The military situation is tense.

, I’ll say goodbye!”

At 21 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese garrison suddenly rushed to the Nanguan Police Station, intending to surrender their weapons as in history. The Japanese army pressed forward step by step. After Captain Shi's warning was ineffective, he glanced at the heavy machine guns ambushed on both sides of the police station and opened fire.

"Tap-tat...chut-tak..." The island nation's garrison was swept down in pieces like wheat. No matter where they launched the charge, they would leave a pile of corpses in that place.

The Maxim heavy machine gun is indeed a classic weapon in the ranks of heavy machine guns. Whether it is water-cooled or several other series, it can be called a classic. It is indeed not an exaggeration to describe the Maxim machine gun as a meat grinder on the modern battlefield.

.

The remaining Japanese garrison quickly lay down and started shooting with the 626th Regiment. The 626th Regiment was located at the south gate. The Japanese army was lying on the ground. Their advantages and disadvantages were clear at a glance. The Japanese armored vehicles came over, but under the influence of the large-caliber M2 heavy machine gun

Under the heavy fire, the thin-skinned and large-stuffed bean chariot was vulnerable to a single blow, and even the Japanese troops behind it were swept away.

Directly east of Yuguan, the two thousand Kwantung Army troops were fully armed and lined up neatly, waiting eagerly for the artillery positions commanding to the east to fire artillery shells. They also dreamed of waiting for the artillery fire to extend and then launch a charge.

Suddenly three red flares screamed into the sky, and the artillery battery at the Zhongtiao Mountain base began a fierce shelling. Mortar shells hit the enemy position like a heavy rain. Since the enemy position was only a thousand meters away, the shelling scene was small.

Partners can see it clearly.

The enemy's front line was a sea of ​​fire, and the Kwantung Army's 40 field guns were blown into parts before they could take effect, with many Kwantung Army corpses that were also blown to pieces flying everywhere.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, followed by silence. A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The night sky was also dyed red. The mushroom cloud continued to rise and expand...
