While Song Bingce was hesitating, Han Xinghua had already seen it, "If I send it to Si Jiumen, I promise to take down Jiumen within a month."
Since Han Xinghua praised Haikou, Song Bingce naturally agreed. After the two men completed the handover procedures, they asked the Third Army to hand over the 9th Division.
Unexpectedly, I went on a business trip. When the Ninth Division and the Third Army handed over, they felt unhappy when they saw that the other party had Russians (Russians), and the handed over was a bit careless. This was not a trivial matter on the battlefield. At that time, it might take several lives to fill it out. The Third Army's were not just on the battlefield. Soon someone saw it and asked directly what the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Division meant.
The Ninth Division didn't care about this. It was a few words and it was frozen. Hundreds of people swung their fists and fucked them. Han Xinghua and Huang Xingquan, the commander of the Ninth Division, were chatting just in time. The orderly soldiers screamed and scared each other. After they asked the matter, both of them couldn't sit still and rushed to persuade them to fight. After all, they were still in the same army, but they only compared their fists and feet, bayonets, and cannons. But even so, dozens of them were seriously injured. Liangzi of the Ninth Division and the Third Army began to form here.
Han Xinghua was unhappy and didn't feel good about it. He spread all his anger on the Qing army's heads, and the 40,000 troops rushed towards the Nine Gate like storms.
In early October, the Third Northeast Army of Northeast attacked the entire line, first seizing a commanding height 1 kilometer away from Jiumenkou, exposing the Qing army positions at Jiumenkou to the view of the Third Northeast Army of Northeast. Then, after fierce battle, the Third Northeast Army of Northeast Army of Northeast occupied Parrot Mountain on the north side of Jiumenkou and the Snake Mountain on the south side, forming a north-south support force for Jiumenkou. At the same time, the Third Northeast Army of Northeast Army of Northeast continued to send small teams to attack the passes near Jiumenkou.
The Nine Gate was originally a dangerous place where "one man is the pass, ten thousand men cannot open". The Qing army had heavy troops to defend, so it should be foolproof. However, because the Qing army won several battles in the previous few times, they believed that the Northeast Army was just like this, and some young masters and second-generation ancestors came down to make military achievements.
Feng Yurong took over as deputy brigade commander of the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Qing Army shortly before the war. He was very idiot and knew nothing about military affairs. He just arrived and talked loudly, giving Ronglu a small report to slander Nie Shicheng how he was afraid of fighting. Ronglu had been through the battle for a long time, so he naturally saw that Feng Yurong was just a fancy pillow. However, because Feng Yurong's wife was the most beloved Princess Qing, Empress Dowager Cixi, had to say a few perfunctory words.
Seeing that Ronglu refused to remove Nie Shicheng, Feng Yurong felt that his ability could not be displayed, so he found a day and left the army and went to the gate of the Military Affairs Office.
After waiting for half a day, he happened to meet the Chief Minister Gangyi who came out of the Military Affairs Office, and hurriedly told him what he knew. The general was as timid as a mouse, and he said extremely bravely. Finally, he patted his chest and said, "If you let the humble official serve as the chief general, you will be defeated and fled within half a month."
Gangyi was an outsider, and his military information was heard from Ronglu. He was filled with righteous indignation when he heard it. He wrote a letter to Ronglu. Ronglu asked Ronglu to dismiss the timid general and sergeant on his post on the spot and replaced it with Feng Yurong.
Ronglu, who received the letter, complained in his heart and hated Feng Yurong for suing him, but he had no choice but to find a way to make up for it. He secretly told Nie Shicheng's two subordinates and asked them to fight a good fight. Sooner or later, Feng Yurong will get out.
In this way, the former commander of the Mixed Brigade of the Fifth Town was transferred to the rear to serve as a free position, and Feng Yurong was replaced. Many heroes in ancient and modern times did not fall in front of the enemy, but fell in the hands of their own people. It is really sad.
As soon as Feng Yurong arrived, he ordered his subordinates to switch to delay the enemy. This move learned the story of the Qin Dynasty's defeat of the six countries. But he forgot that the power of Qin was not much better than that of the six countries, and today the Northeast Army was much stronger than the Qing army guarding the pass.
The defense was still difficult, and there was no need to attack. Before rushing out, it was cleaned up by a fire from the Northeast Army. Feng Yurong looked at it and poured a basin of water from head to tail. He felt that it was really dangerous here. Zhuanribao hid behind, for fear of a shell hitting it.
Feng Yurong was so mean that his subordinates Li and Yang were naturally unwilling to accept his command. When the Third Northeast Army attacked, Li and Yang had asked Feng Yurong for help, but Feng Yurong held his direct regiment tightly and failed to support him. A battalion Qing soldiers fought to the death for half a day and the entire army was wiped out. Li and Yang were dissatisfied. The soldiers were depressed.
Feng Yurong was such a cowardly and incompetent person who could not control his subordinates and neglected to inspect the positions, which resulted in a big mistake. On the morning of October 8, the Third Northeast Army of the Third Northeast Army of the Third Northeast Army of the Crown of Jiumenkou raided the Huangtuling line on the north side of Jiumenkou. When the Third Northeast Army of the Third Northeast Army of the Third Northeast Army of the Third Northeast Army of the Army of the Great Wall under the cover of artillery fire, no soldiers and soldiers of the Qing army resisted. It turned out that the Qing army, which was defending, was afraid that they would be divided and surrounded by the Northeast Army, and had already withdrawn the night before.
However, when retreating, friendly troops were not notified, which was unimaginable when Nie Shicheng was the chief general (if those who do not obey the orders, those who retreat without authorization will be killed).
After easily crossing the Great Wall, the Third Northeast Army immediately encircled the Jiumenkou. The Qing army stationed at Jiumenkou discovered the Third Northeast Army's operations. While resisting perfunctorily, they reported the military situation to Captain Li, but the commander was no longer sure where to go. The Qing army was in chaos and threw down their weapons and retreated. Yang's delegation, who was stationed at the deserted mountain pass, heard that Li's delegation was defeated, and hurriedly retreated towards Shimenzhai.
Although the situation was not good at this time, there was still something to do. The Third Army did not expect to occupy the Jiumenkou so easily, with less than one regiment of attacks. If it was organized properly at this time, it would probably drive away the Northeast Army, which had not yet established a stable foothold.
However, the brigade commander Feng Yurong did not actively organize a counterattack, and the Nine Gate was occupied by the Third Northeast Army. This time, Feng Yurong quit. He left the army and returned to Beijing to cry: "Sir! Who are the bastards who know that I was sent by you. They tried every means to squeeze out their low positions, and even fled without firing a single shot. They were really careless."
But this is all a story. At the Jiumenkou, the only way back to Beijing is Shimen Village. Shimen Village is not easy to walk. There is only a small path that will be tens of thousands of troops to pass through, and it will not work without ten days or half a month. Ronglu's road back to Beijing suddenly became narrower.
