"boom!"

The dull explosion rang out not far away. As a large mansion of a landlord's house in the temporary division headquarters, all the houses trembled together, and dust fell from above. The officers in the hall couldn't help but shrink their necks down.

A soldier rushed in with blood on his face and reported in panic: "Commander! The enemy is bombarding with special shells. A serious fire broke out in our position and it cannot be extinguished no matter what!"

Yamadi Yuanji nodded slowly with expressionless face, not knowing what it meant. The soldier hesitated for a moment and turned around and rushed out.

The hot air swept in from the outside with the wind, blowing into the hall through the door and the cracks of the broken eaves. The temperature that makes people unable to reach out in the cold winter is completely gone. Even wearing a single dress, you can feel a burning heat that makes people want to peel off their skin!

"Commander, the enemy stops attacking, seems to be tricky to our tenacious resistance!"

"Commander, the enemy began to bombard the front with cannons, and our defense was greatly damaged!"

"Commander, the enemy's shells are incredible arson ability, and the situation is critical!"

"Commander..."

After a few reports, the changes changed seven or eight times in just half an hour. Yamadi Yuanji's emotions changed from shock at the beginning to insensitiveness now, and the rapid changes were something he had never imagined in his life.

The last trace of fantasy was shattered, and no miracle appeared. The enemy, who had the absolute advantage, did not fight against them, but adopted an extremely cruel method - arson to end the final blow to the First Division.

Yamadi Munji saw with his own eyes that when the initial shell exploded, millions of brilliant sparks splashed, which could illuminate the glory of a village at night. But after those sparks landed, whether on wood, haystacks, stones, soil, or even snow piles, they were burning fiercely! In the strange sound of the wail, the strange flames seemed to have an invisible force supporting it, and the stones were soft and the walls collapsed. The wet wood had to become coke before it was unwilling to be extinguished!

What a weird thing! Is Bai Phosphorus? Shandi Yuanzhi guessed based on his own opinions, but he was not sure and there was no corresponding solution.

He could only see the fierce fires ignited around the village, accompanied by repeated explosions and raging fires, and they wanted to add fire to the roofs of the snow-covered houses, creating choking smoke, which was everywhere!

Soldiers who were hit by shells or burned by flames let out screams of ghosts and wolves howling. The flames that could not be extinguished even if they rolled around were even affected by soldiers who came to rescue.

The flames soaring into the sky made the snow-scalding air rise rapidly, and the strong water vapor and choking smoke danced wildly with the wind, filling every space, making people breathless! Even if they wrap their mouths and noses with wet strips, they are still useless. The hot flames burned up all the oxygen, and they were trapped in the fire, suffocating and heading towards death!

"Commander..." Oji Anjun rushed over with a cough, his whole body was pitch black, like a ghost that had just crawled out of the ashes, shouting hoarsely at Yamadi Yuanji, "You should retreat as soon as possible! Our battle has failed, and the strength of the enemy cannot be stopped by the existing forces!"

Yamadi Yuanji smiled in a daze, and his neurotic expression seemed particularly strange, like a great monk who saw through everything, saying lightly: "We don't go anywhere! This is the place where the commander is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Failure is inevitable. Let us bid farewell to the world decently and maintain the last dignity of the emperor!"

"Ah?!But...!"

An Chun, the Daji exclaimed, looked at his resolute expression in disbelief, and suddenly realized in his heart that the division commander was planning to die for the line of duty and did not want to live anymore!

He sat on the ground in a daze, his eyes wide open at the red window, and a breath of despair flooded all his reason.

After failure, they failed completely without any controversy! There was no room for recovery, the passage ahead had been cut off by themselves, and no one in the entire army could resist.

A captain and staff officer suddenly roared wildly, scratching the sky with his claws for a moment, then pulled out a long knife and stabbed it into his lower abdomen! The severe pain made his nerves awake for a brief moment, despair and pain brought infinite regret and helplessness. He cried bitterly, twitched all over, and used all his strength to push the blade hard, cutting off his intestines horizontally, but the greater pain hit his more sensitive mind.

So the officer's screams shook the roof beams, as if they were tortured by Class 18 from hell!

An Chun, Daji, took a quick step, drew his knife and cut off his head. His eyes clearly saw a hint of thanks and relief from the corners of his eyes.

The officers who had originally made up their minds to be so self-destructive were trembling involuntarily. It turned out that the heroic caesarean section in the legend was so painful! They immediately lost the courage to insert the knife into their belly.

Several guards at the door shouted at the top of their voices as the flames rushed over: "Press the black card, on-board!"

He pushed the rifle against his chin and pulled the trigger hard! An 8mm bullet burst out from the top of the Tianling Cap, taking away a large piece of red and white brain.

An Chun, Oji trembled out the revolver on his waist, gestured on his temple for a long time, and finally made up his mind and shouted to Yamadi Yuanzhi: "Your Excellency, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you until the end. I want to take the lead."

Yamadi Yuanji nodded coldly: "Our heroic spirit will see you in the underworld."

Bang! Bang! Bang…!

Gunshots, and their heads burst into blood and cracked. An Chun and his staff killed themselves one after another, and their bodies fell to the ground in a twisted manner.

Yamadi Motoji was not in a hurry to commit suicide. He tidied up his military uniform collar, sat upright in front of the table, and faced the door with cold eyes until an explosion came from outside, the door panel exploded, and countless flames mixed with fragments whistled, smashing his upper half into a sieve.

Yang Hao asked the offensive troops to fire more than 100 incendiary bombs of various calibers at Liujiatun. The fire caused by the fire surrounded the entire town from all directions. The high temperature brought by the strong fireworks rising into the sky baked and evaporated the snow, causing huge temperature difference and wind direction shear in the area. The raging roll spread everywhere!

After a few hours, the shrill howling in the fire completely disappeared, and the gunshots of resistance stopped completely.

The vanguard put on a gas mask and advanced forward against the remaining warmth of the roasted man, searching carefully between the charred bricks and tiles.

In a town of about hundreds of households, there was no complete house, and every collapsed corner, there were twisted and deformed corpses falling down. The last defensive force of the First Division was destroyed here, and together with the town they had destroyed early, it turned into ashes of history.

"I didn't expect that I would win so easily. The Japanese army was much weaker than I thought, and it was simply vulnerable!"

The third regiment commander Lin Zhicai sighed that this was completely different from the result he expected.

Liu Yong said coldly: "Nothing is surprising. We are too powerful and are not at the same level as them. Victory is common sense, and we only need to look at the price we pay."

This is crazy, but Lin Zhi realized that they had the qualifications to be arrogant. No matter who it was, it was enough to annihilate tens of thousands of enemies in a battle to boast and go down in history. From this moment on, he was completely convinced by Yang Hao's command. In the world, there was probably no second master who was more powerful than Commander Yang?

Yang Hao rushed to Liujiatun before dark.

The ruins were covered with ruins, the choking fireworks in the air were mixed with disgusting and strange smells. Although he was used to the battlefield, he still rushed to his stomach and churned.

He simply did not look at the burnt corpse and ordered the troops to quickly clean the battlefield and launch defense on the spot. With this as the center, he thoroughly cleaned the remaining Japanese troops between the surrounding mountains. Then, he sent a war report back to the country, causing another uproar!

"The new army took the initiative to attack, retreated to the enemy a hundred miles, and annihilated nearly 10,000 Japanese troops! The danger in Lushun, Jinzhou was completely lifted!"

"The main force of the Japanese First Division was destroyed, and dozens of generals and officers below the lieutenant general brigade commander were killed! The new army attacked and was invincible!"

"The hope of China and the glory of the people! Yang Dingshi cheered up in the face of danger and turned the tide down!"

"The Japanese pirates will be punished for their rampant life, and they will die today and become ashes!"

"The glorious China cannot be insulted, there are heroes in the world! Our new army is mighty!"

...All kinds of exaggerated praises that were crazily published from various legal and illegal newspapers is more encouraging than the victory obtained by previous defense!

Whether it is Beijing and Tianjin or Tongzhou where transportation deviates, Yang Hao's reputation is spreading as long as it is a place where newspapers can be distributed.

The Japanese army that had wiped out more than 10,000 people and killed all the officials of the division. Such merits are enough to be called the world's number one general!

As for the new army ruler Li Jingfang, he was ignored intentionally or unintentionally. Both the pros and the opposite side were desperately praising Yang Hao's merits. It seemed more like a tough response to a series of bad actions by the court before, and a ruthless slap in the face!

In the Beiyang Yamen, Li Hongzhang left the newspaper and sighed at the rare moment: "This son's general situation has been completed and no one can shake it! From then on, the Qing Dynasty will have no peace."

He didn't care about others ignoring Li Jingfang's merits, and his eldest son followed him to take advantage of it. Who caused such a contribution from the new army? Everyone knows that he couldn't be shameless and looked for ugly things.

Turning his head, Li Hongzhang ordered Luo Fenglu and other staff members: "Prepare, maybe we will start a peace talk with the Japanese side soon, and this is my husband."

Without becoming the sucker of losing his troops and humiliating the country and cedeing land and paying compensation, Li Hongzhang would never miss the opportunity to gain fame. No matter who caused this convenient condition, at least before he left the center, he could have to be all-out and end well.

In the capital, a group of Qingliu officials seemed to have lost their parents.

Li Hongzao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He couldn't figure out where Yang Hao got his luck, but he could achieve such a great victory when thousands of horses were silenced.

It was like a slap in the face of the group of people, including the emperor, who were blind. How to deal with this matter and how to restore reputation, there was no good strategy for a while. They were only bragging and making trouble behind them, and they were frowning and unconfident.

A group of young and strong young people saw the only solution from the crisis. After the emergency discussion, they proposed a seemingly feasible solution - the court reform, reform and renewal, taking advantage of the situation to consolidate the imperial power and innovate politics!

In the embassies and consulates in various countries in Beijing, the ministers were disgraced and were stunned for a moment and didn't know what words to use to describe their mood.

British Minister Ogne declared remorsefully: "We should have firmly interfered and presided over the negotiations between the two countries. Perhaps the situation was the most favorable at that time. Now we must face the situation that we least want to see, which has led to a series of uncontrollable things."

The Chief Tax Officer of the Customs General Taxation was as helpless as Heard. He attempted to use a crushing defeat to master the Qing Dynasty's plan to declare bankruptcy. At least in a short period of time, the Qing Dynasty would have a brand new force rising and resolutely resist the control of any foreign forces.

The Americans who made the wrong abacus were always seeking suitable opportunities but failed to achieve the Russians and Germans, at this moment, realized that a crisis that was extremely unfavorable to them was brewing.

The parties who were originally calculating each other had an unprecedented consensus for the first time, so the mediation force led by the Americans then launched a massive public relations between China and Japan.

Inside and outside the court, there were endless calls for a ceasefire and peace talks, and they even reached the front line.

Yang Hao was unmoved and issued an order firmly: "Prior to me, kill the enemies who stay in our territory first."

Later, he issued a declaration in the "Guowenbao": "If the enemy has not left the door and is a traitor!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
