Chapter 425: Attack on Beijing (4)

Although the Eight-Nation Alliance was the dominant number of troops, it was aimless because it was fighting in the dark, and lacked unified command. It can be said that it had no command. Because of the seven countries, six of the commanders of six countries were destroyed, so naturally no one came to organize the command. Even if the commanders of one or two countries escaped from the command, in the dark, they could not organize their own troops. Of course, they could not even find their own troops, so of course they could not effectively resist. Therefore, the Eight-Nation Alliance could only fight on their own, and there were several cases of friendly forces intervening fire and attacking each other.

Although the number of special forces is small, they have advanced weapons, fierce firepower, and unilateral transparency in the battlefield. Therefore, after the two sides fought, the special forces not only did not fall behind, but also did not blindly defend. They constantly used the cover of night and houses and buildings to decisively intersperse and detour, concentrate their forces to actively attack the Eight-Nation Alliance, and succeeded repeatedly on local battlefields.

At this time, the battle in Beijing had been going on for more than an hour, and the sky was gradually getting brighter. However, the entire city of Beijing seemed to be completely trapped in war, with gunfire everywhere falling and fire everywhere falling.

However, in the command center of the time traveler, the pictures sent back through the drone can be clearly seen that all wars are basically born on the central axis of Beijing, within a distance of about 8 kilometers from south to north, and the battle is carried out with the palace as the core. However, on the east and west sides of Beijing, it is actually very calm, so it shows a very strange situation.

Of course, the battle has been going on so far, and the entire war has progressed very smoothly. In the palace, the special forces have already lost 6 command centers, basically silting the command center of the Eight-Nation Alliance. In the battle on the outside, the southern battlefield broke through Zuoanmen after the first battalion and immediately penetrated into Beijing. The third battalion also captured Youanmen and immediately rushed to the battle of the Yongding Gate's aid team. Under the attack of the People's Army, the defenders of Yongding Gate could not resist and fled in all directions. The People's Army finally successfully occupied Yongding Gate. The first battalion has successively occupied Zhengyang Gate, and is advancing towards the Meridian Gate, so the road to the palace has been completely opened.

On the other side, the Second Regiment had also made a breakthrough on the front line in the north of Beijing. There were two city gates on the north wall of Beijing, Andingmen and Deshengmen. Both of these gates were stationed by the French team. The Second Regiment divided the troops into two groups, attacked the two city gates at the same time, bombarded the city gate with cannons, and then charged towards the city gate. Like the British team, the French team was mainly composed of colonial troops. These soldiers were basically from Jiaozhi, India, that is, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other places in the old time and space. The combat effectiveness was very limited, and it was okay to fight a smooth battle. Once the war fell into an unfavorable situation, the fighting spirit would be completely eliminated and the entire line was defeated. Therefore, the fierce battle between the two sides did not last long, and the French army could not resist and retreated into the city. The People's Army successfully occupied Andingmen and Deshengmen, and advanced towards the north gate of the imperial city and Shenwumen.

Both the north and south lines were opened, so it can be said that the battle to attack Beijing was sure to win. However, on the local battlefield, there are still some situations that are unfavorable to the People's Army.

Although most of the command centers of various countries were destroyed, the troops guarding the city gates did not know that they were on the east and west sides, because they did not have any war and had sufficient troops. However, there was no command center to order, and they did not know when the enemy would attack the city gates they defended. Therefore, the troops at each city gate did not dare to act rashly. However, the sound of gun explosions from the palace still made some of the garrisons at the city gates unable to calm down. After all, the command center was in the palace, so some city gates drew some of the troops to reinforce the palace, and of course some of the city gates still remained unmoved. But that's the case, there were about 150 people from the Eight-Nation Alliance who rushed back to the palace to reinforce.

In this way, the special forces that were fighting hard in the palace also felt the pressure, because the more they attacked the enemy, the more troops they had, the more troops they had, naturally, squeezed the space for the special forces' activity. In addition, the sky gradually became clear, and the unilateral transparency advantage of the special forces was gradually lost, so the battle of the special forces was becoming more and more difficult.

Fortunately, the Eight-Nation Alliance was fighting on their own, and the sky was not completely bright at this time, but it was just a vague view of the shadows. Therefore, the special forces could still maintain a slight advantage. However, as the sky gradually became clear and the Eight-Nation Alliance troops that reinforced the Palace might increase, the Youshi of the Special Forces will inevitably be continuously weakened. What is more important is that the number of ammunition carried by the special forces is limited. After more than an hour of fierce fighting, most of the ammunition of the soldiers has been consumed. If the battle continues, the weaknesses of the special forces will be infinitely amplified and the situation will be more difficult.

At this moment, Yu Maolin received a notice from the command center. At this time, a People's Army unit had approached the Meridian Gate and was about to rush into the palace to support the special forces. Therefore, he asked Yu Maolin how to cooperate with this force. Although the command center had learned about the battle situation on the entire battlefield through drones, only the combat troops themselves knew the battle situation of the club themselves. Therefore, the command center would first solicit the opinions of the combat troops. Of course, this could only be achieved by the support of advanced communication equipment in the old time and space, which is the greater advantage of the time traveler.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Maolin replied to the command center, asking the troops to attack Wenhua Hall first, eliminate the last command center of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and then occupy the southeast corner of the palace. Because the main battlefield of the special forces is now concentrated in the northwest of the palace, there are many houses and palaces here, and the terrain is complex, and the special forces can still support it. Therefore, if reinforcements occupy the southeast of the palace, they can echo the special forces and directly threaten the flanks of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the Northeast and Southwest.

In addition, Yu Maolin has always had a heart problem, that is, there is only one command center left in the Eight-Nation Alliance in Wenhua Hall. As the sky brightens, this command center may reorganize the Eight-Nation Alliance to form a command center. In this way, the battle may last for a long time, which is naturally unfavorable to the entire time travel group. Therefore, it is best to remove this command center to prevent future troubles. The Wenhua Hall is located in the southeast of the palace, which is just a killing of two birds with one stone.

Being able to make such a decision in a short time in a tense environment on the battlefield also shows that at this time, Yu Maolin still maintained a very clear mind and judgment, a good overall view, and made the correct decision.

The People's Army troops approaching the palace were naturally a regiment and battalion led by Luo Yue. After breaking through the **, the troops had already rushed into the front of the Meridian Gate. At this moment, Luo Yue received an order from the command center, requiring Luo Yue to break into the palace and attack the Wenhua Hall in the southeast of the palace. It was the only remaining command center of the Eight-Nation Alliance, so it may face strong resistance, but this command center must be destroyed.

After receiving the direct order from the command center, Luo Yue naturally had to guard it. The Meridian Gate was the entrance to the palace and the south gate of the imperial city. However, at this time, all the troops stationed at the Meridian Gate had retreated to the palace to reinforce the command center, leaving only a dozen soldiers to guard the city tower. The first battalion rushed to the front of the Meridian Gate and immediately set up the attack tower and climbed up the city tower. The dozen soldiers who stayed at the city gate could not be defended. As a result, the time was not long, so the soldiers of the People's Army were allowed to climb to the city tower, opened the city gate, and sent troops into the palace.

After rushing into the palace, Luo Yue immediately led his troops and left Wenhua Palace.

It turned out that Wenhua Hall was the command center of the US military. Now the US military has about 2 ooo people, and the commander is Lieutenant General Adena Chafe. In the Beijing defense system of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the United States is responsible for guarding the Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen in the East, and also guarding the Donghuamen in the Palace. And like Britain and France, the main force of the US military is also a colonial army. Because Britain, France and the United States are both too far away from China, it is too slow to mobilize troops from China. It just so happens that these three countries have colonies in Asia, so it is naturally more convenient to mobilize troops from the colonies. Other countries that are far away from China and have no decent colonies in Asia, such as Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire can only send a little army symbolically. Although Germany occupied Qingdao at that time, it was not stable, so it had to mobilize troops from the country. As a result, when the German army arrived in China, the Eight-Nation Alliance had already captured Beijing.

After the battle at the palace began, Chafei hurriedly drew the US troops guarding the imperial city to defend the command center. Fortunately, in the special forces' combat plan, Wenhua Hall was the last target of attack. After the special forces destroyed six command centers, he was trapped in a battle with reinforcements and had no time to attack Wenhua Hall again. The US military was spared. Lieutenant General Chafei arranged the defense of Wenhua Hall, but also sent people to inquire about the situation.
