However, after receiving the rescue from the Russian army in Dongbianmen, Major Kirirenko did not hesitate and immediately ordered troops to reinforce Dongbianmen. This is because the Russian army in Dongbianmen is his own friendly army and of course he cannot help. But the more important thing is that although Major Kirirenko was at a loss at this time, he knew that he could never do nothing like this and should always find something to do. However, Major Kirirenko really didn't know what he should do at this time.

Now that friendly troops rescued him, Major Kirilianko finally found what he thought he should do, so Major Kirilianko immediately made a decision, but whether he could rescue his troops was to send troops or not, should Major Kirilianko not considering whether he should send troops, or he did not want to consider it.

It is about 1.2 kilometers from Guangqumen to Dongbianmen. This section of road is not far away, but Major Kirilianko has to drive troops from Guangqumen to reinforce Dongbianmen, which is not possible to walk by walking. It always requires a certain amount of preparation time, and a certain amount of troops must be left to guard Guangqumen. Therefore, it took more than half an hour to go. When Kirilianko led the Russian army out of Guangqumen, the People's Army had occupied Dongbianmen.

After the Eight-Nation Alliance began to clear out the Eight-Nation Alliance, the command center released drones to monitor the entire battlefield in the air. Therefore, after the Russian army was mobilized, it was immediately monitored by drones. So the command center immediately notified Liu Shunchang, the command center.

After learning that the Russian army from Guangqumen came to reinforce, Liu Shunchang was very happy, because although the People's Army could attack Guangqumen from the city wall, the width of the city wall was limited, and the People's Army's strength was difficult to expand. Secondly, the Russian army still occupied the city tower of Guangqumen, so it still had a certain geographical advantage. If the Guangqumen attacked Guangqumen, it would inevitably cause certain casualties. It would be better for the enemy to take the initiative to attack. In this way, not only did the enemy lose the advantage of geographical advantage, but the People's Army could also set up positions in advance to fight against the Russian army.

So Liu Shunchang immediately set up his arrangements, and the first battalion immediately arranged positions on the road from Guangqumen to Dongbianmen to prepare to snipe the Russian army. Of course, while facing the Russian army, Dongbianmen had to guard the city tower. Liu Shunchang sent the third battalion and one company to guard the city tower, and also sent them a machine gun platoon with three Maxim machine guns. It was more than enough to defend the city tower. The other two companies of the third battalion were used as mobile forces and took action to determine the situation of the battle.

There is also the Second Battalion of the Second Regiment, which was assigned to the command of the Fifth Regiment, who was sent to attack Dongbianmen in the battle to attack Dongbianmen, were sent to take the detour from outside the city. However, since the battle to capture Dongbianmen was not long, it did not catch up with the battle. The task of this army was still to detour from outside the city. However, this time, it was to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Guangqumen. It turned out that Liu Shunchang planned to end the battle to attack Guangqumen while sniping the Russian army.

After dispatching the combat missions of each unit, the first battalion of soldiers immediately arranged defense lines in the area around Dongbianmen. Although it was impossible to build a complete fortification bunker during the period of innovation and promotion, the soldiers still used houses, buildings, trees, etc. as bunkers as bunkers, but the machine guns and cannons were arranged. However, the machine guns and cannons were not found yet. After all, machine guns and cannons were not like ordinary soldiers. Just find half a piece of earth wall or a big tree. Not only should the terrain be hidden, but it is best to have a certain height, which is beneficial to other soldiers to protect the machine gunners.

At this moment, the Russian army had arrived. After all, it was only 1.2 kilometers from Dongbianmen to Guangqumen, which didn't take long. Of course, the one who arrived at Dongbianmen first was the Russian army rushing from the city wall.

This time, Major Kirilianko sent nearly 70 Russian troops to reinforce Dongbianmen, leaving only more than 100 Russian guards at Guangqumen. Because Dongbianmen and Guangqumen are very close to each other, they can withdraw immediately once Guangqumen is attacked. Therefore, it is better to bring more troops to retreat to the enemy as soon as possible. Even if Dongbianmen cannot be protected, they can still take the defenders from Dongbianmen to withdraw to Guangqumen. Moreover, Major Kirilianko divided the Russian army into two groups and ordered a company of about 150 people to drive from the city wall to Dongbianmen, and led other soldiers to rush from the streets under the city.

If it were under normal circumstances, Major Kirilianko's idea was naturally correct, but it was not normal now. However, under the current situation, Major Kirilianko could not make other better choices.

The Russian army was moving along the city wall first, but at this time the People's Army guarding the city gate had already arranged defenses on the city tower, and the three Maxim machine guns had already been arranged in place. Therefore, when the Russian army entered within about 20 meters from the city wall, the People's Army soldiers guarding the city tower opened fire. However, only one of the three Maxim machine guns fired. One was in such a narrow place as the city wall, and one Maxim machine gun was enough; the other was that the two Maxim machine guns were not here to make a move, but took turns to fire, forming uninterrupted suppression fire.

Not only is the city wall narrow, but there is basically nothing to be used as a bunker. Therefore, facing the People's Army's dense firepower like a rain of bullets, it is almost impossible to avoid it. The People's Army can only let the People's Army pour bullets and harvest their lives. The Russian soldiers in the front row fell to the ground in rows, and the Russian soldiers behind saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran. However, the range of the Maxim machine gun was as high as 1 ooo meters, and the range of other rifles was also above 5 o'clock. It was not easy to escape from the People's Army's firepower range.

At the same time, the Russian army rushed from the ground and entered the positions set up by the People's Army. Although the People's Army's machine guns had not been arranged in place at this time, Liu Shunchang still ordered the fire. The ambushed People's Army soldiers immediately opened fire. Under the urgency of defense, dozens of people immediately fell to the ground.

However, the ground is not a city wall, and there are many bunkers to use. Most of the Russian soldiers have rich combat experience. Therefore, after a brief panic, they immediately looked for bunkers to hide, and immediately launched a confrontation with the People's Army, and the formation was soon stabilized.

However, after several minutes of shooting between the two sides, the Russian army suffered little casualties, but the firepower became weaker and weaker. It turned out that the Russian army's ammunition was not good. Major Kirilianko saw that the situation was not good, and he probably would not be able to break through the opponent's defense line and go to reinforce Dongbianmen. He would hurry back to Guangqumen to make up, so Major Kirilianko immediately ordered a retreat.

Although Major Kirilenko lacked flexibility, his basic military system was still quite solid. He commanded the Russian army and retreated, and he was quite organized. Unfortunately, he only retreated more than 10 meters away. There was another dense gunfire coming, knocking down a large area of ​​Russian soldiers who were preparing to retreat. It turned out that the other two companies of the Third Battalion had gone around behind the Russian army, arranged positions, and cut off the Russian army's retreat route.

Although the Russian soldiers hurriedly looked for cover to hide, they were trapped in the front and back attacks of the People's Army. The People's Army behind them had already chased them up and the soldiers rushing in the front were holding rifles with bayonets, which were only a few dozen meters away from the Russian army. It was too late to set up blocking positions. The People's Army on the other side also charged towards the Russian army, so the Russian soldiers also used bayonets and launched a bayonet battle with the enemy troops in both front and rear.

After two blockings, the Russian army had about 400 people at this time, and the People's Army had a total of 5 companies of troops, which was more than 80 people, twice that of the Russian army. In addition, the spirit and morale of both sides were not on the same level. Therefore, after the bayonet battle between the two sides, the Russian army was obviously defeated. The soldiers of both sides fought against each other, and the Russian soldiers were often stabbed to the ground. However, the Russian army had completely collapsed, and the remaining Russian soldiers gave up their resistance and surrendered.

At the same time, the Second Battalion of the Second Regiment, which detoured from outside the city, successfully defeated the Russian army who stayed at Guangqumen and successfully occupied Guangqumen. As a result, all the Dongcheng Gate in Beijing were captured by the People's Army, and more than 380 Russian troops were captured, and the Fifth Regiment also paid the price of more than 150 casualties.

The tactical goal of controlling Beijing City and driving away all the Eight-Nation Alliance was half completed, and the Fifth Regiment continued to help, handing over the occupied city gates to other troops to guard, and then brought the captured Russian troops to the palace and guarding them with other prisoners. Then, they rushed to the west and attacked the city gates in the west city of Beijing.

Beijing Xicheng also has four city gates, which are arranged symmetrically with the East City, namely the Xizhimen and Buchengmen of the inner city, which are all stationed by Russian troops, among which the guards of the Xizhimen are 700 people, and the guards of the Fuchengmen are more than 80 people; the Xibianmen and Guang'anmen of the outer city are all stationed by Japanese troops, with 200 people in Xibianmen and about 60 people in Guang'anmen.

However, the battle situation has reached this point. The Eight-Nation Alliance is incompetent. The Fifth Regiment attacks the city gates of Xicheng, and has almost no obstacles. The Russian troops guarding Xizhimen and Fuchengmen gather together, abandoning the city gates and fleeing outside the city. However, the Fifth Regiment still uses the tactic of advancing on both sides of the city inside and outside the city. Therefore, although the Russian army escaped from Beijing, it was still attacked by the People's Army, and suffered heavy casualties. Many soldiers surrendered to the army, and only 2 or 3 oo people eventually escaped.

Only the last two Japanese troops caused some trouble to the People's Army. The Japanese army's usual style was that even if they were defeated, they still refused to surrender, insisted on serving the country with a strong force, and thus the last two Japanese troops gathered together and stationed on the city tower of Guang'anmen to continue to resist.

After the persuasion of surrender was fruitless, the People's Army divided into three groups and launched a final attack on Guang'anmen. Although the Japanese army insisted on defending the Guang'anmen Tower to the death, the ammunition was insufficient. Therefore, after only a few minutes of firefighting, the Japanese army used up their bullets and the People's Army charged against the Japanese army. So the two sides launched a hand-to-hand combat battle on the Guang'anmen Tower. In the end, only more than 60 Japanese soldiers were captured, and the rest were all killed in battle. However, the People's Army also paid the price of nearly 30 casualties for this.
