More than one brigade of the Japanese 8th Division took turns to attack Shanhaiguan with the support of 15 aircraft.
The naval guns of the Japanese 2nd Expedition Fleet also bombarded the Northeast Army defenders from the sea east of Shanhaiguan.
The fierce fighting continued until the afternoon of the 3rd.
Under the joint attack of the Japanese army, land and sea, the southeast corner of the city was broken through by the Japanese army.
The group leader Shi Shian organized several counterattacks but failed to work.
Fierce artillery fire flooded the entire south city, and large groups of Japanese troops poured into the exploded city wall under the cover of overwhelming firepower.
Seeing a sparse group of soldiers in front of him, half the number before the war started, An Dexin had a look of determination on his face and shouted painfully to his subordinates, "The Japanese really bullied us.
They used to They captured Fengtian, and now they want to do it without firing a shot Just occupy Shanhaiguan.
If we don't fight them to the end, we will be sorry for the Shanhaiguan elders and have no bloody character for the Chinese.
We will be in Yuguan one day, and the Japanese will never be able to pass by us.
Go up to the corpse and swear to live and die with Shanhaiguan."
Under Ande Xin's cheers, more than six to seven hundred officers and soldiers of the First and Second Battalions launched a desperate counterattack against the Japanese army.
But how can flesh and blood survive the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese aircraft, artillery and warships?
Almost the entire Shanhaiguan was submerged in artillery fire.
Houses and businesses one after another collapsed in the explosion.
The sky-high artillery fire and smoke added a tragic atmosphere to Andexin's desperate counterattack.
"Under Japan's advancing step by step, the people who had been giving in began to wake up.
The courage displayed by such a backward army was no less than that of any army of the great powers.
They faced life and death.
Without fear.
Just Under the powerful Japanese attack, these resistances seemed to be in vain" according to the Xinchou Treaty.
Eleven major powers, including Britain and the United States, had troops stationed along the customs line from Peking to Shang.
The French military attache among them could not help but lament with sympathy when he saw this extremely tragic scene.
The battle lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon on January 3.
An Dexin was injured in his hand first and ignored it.
When he moved, he was hit in the leg, but he still fought hard.
Then he was shot in the head and abdomen at the same time, and finally fell to the ground.
Ande Xin's body was snatched out by the guards.
Put it into a sack and carry it away.
The 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Company Commanders, Company Lieutenants, and Platoon Commanders all died in the battle.
The officers and soldiers of the two battalions suffered heavy casualties.
The regiment leader Shi Shi'an led the remaining 20 people to retreat from Xishuimen to the west bank of Shihe River.
The Japanese army pursued them all the way, and guard Wang Hongwu was driven away by the Japanese army.
Ande Xin's body had no choice but to be hastily buried near Xishui Gate and entrusted to the care of the Hui people near the mosque.
The Japanese army invaded Shanhaiguan.
Controlled the traffic arteries leading inside and outside the pass.
The Japanese army that captured Shanhaiguan took advantage of the situation to attack the Wulitai area outside the pass.
Receiving firm resistance from the Northeastern Army's He Zhuguo Department, the two sides fought several battles one after another.
In view of the fact that the main force of the Japanese army's attack on Rehe had been deployed one after another, the fighting in Shanhaiguan took a break, but the main force of the Japanese army moved towards Rehe in a big way.
As early as the 23rd, Matsui Iwane made a planned attack plan.
At this time, the Japanese government used its usual tactics.
The embassy in China demanded that the Republic of China troops stationed in Rehe withdraw from the entire territory of Rehe and recognize Rehe as the territory of the Puppet Manchukuo State.
Otherwise, it threatened to prevent the war from expanding to North China.
Lose the Northeast first, then lose Jinzhou.
Facing another large-scale pressure by the Japanese army, as soon as Rehe was reached, there was no longer a buffer between Hebei where Zhang Xueliang was located and the Japanese army.

At this time, the Northeast Army had no way to retreat.
After discussing with Zhang Zuoxiang, a plan to defend Rehe was formulated.
The purpose of the operation was to protect Rehe and consolidate the whole territory of Hebei.
Concentrate the main force in the northern Hebei and Chanan areas of Rehe.
Defeat any Japanese troops that may land on the coast of Hebei, and organize the existing garrison in North China into eight legions and one reserve legion.
Yu Xuezhong's First Regiment is stationed in the Jintang area.
The Shang Zhen Department of the 2nd Army Corps was stationed in Luandong, and the 3rd Army Corps Song Zheyuan was stationed in Northern Hebei.
Yang Jie of the 8th Army and the Reserve Army gathered near Peiping.
It consists of 6 divisions from the 53rd Army of the 4th Army Corps' Wan Fulin Department, and 1 division and 4 brigades from the 5th Army Corps' Tang Yulin Department.
The 3 brigades of Zhang Zuoxiang's 41st Army of the 6th Army and the 63rd Army were organized into two armies.
Zhang Xueliang served as the commander-in-chief of the 1st Army, Zhang Zuoxiang served as the commander-in-chief of the 2nd Army, and Tang Yulin served as deputy commander.
A total of more than 100,000 people directly served in Rehe The provincial defense mission was responsible for fighting the Japanese.
At this time, the main attack direction of the Japanese army, which was divided into three groups, was the 8th Division, the 16th Brigade, the 8th Cavalry Regiment, the 8th Artillery Regiment, the 8th Engineer Brigade, the 1st Tank Squadron, and the Lushun Heavy Artillery Brigade. , the Kwantung Army Motor Vehicle Team, and about 150,000 people from the Li Shoushan Department of the 1st Independent Brigade of the Yuzhishan Department of the Puppet Fengtian Provincial Guard Army have arrived at the first combat front line.
But the defending 4th Army Corps had a long defense line of nearly 400 miles.
The fortifications are crude and transportation in the rear is difficult.
If the front line is broken, there is a worry that the entire line will be shaken.
The Japanese army successfully captured Chaoyang.
The 130th Division only fought with the Japanese army for less than a day before the Japanese army broke through the position.
Retreat to Hiraizumi with the 1st Regiment of the 129th Division who came for reinforcements.
They were ready to fight again, but because the other divisions of the 4th Army were shaken at this time, the two divisions also withdrew to Xifengkou along with the main force of the 4th Army.
Without wasting much effort, they repelled the 4th Army Corps, which Zhang Xueliang had high hopes for.
The Japanese army continued to attack the 5th Army Corps from Zhuluke, Jianping Town, Heishui Town to Chifeng.
"He Zhang Xueliang withdrew from the three northeastern provinces without firing a shot, and now he wants to fight in our Rehe.
He can't do it.
If our 5th Army can fight the Japanese army, what else can the Tang family use to gain a foothold in the future?
Zhang Xueliang It's no better than his father Nian Zhuo.
Yang Yuting has learned from the past.
Dad, we can't make a wedding dress for Zhang Xueliang without the 5th Army.
"How can our Tang family have a foothold in the northern military circles in the future?"
Tang Zuorong, who had suffered a big loss at the hands of Jiang Li, jumped up and down and said in a hateful voice, "And Jiang Li is also going to send troops to Re."
He Lai must still have a grudge about what happened last time, and he may take the opportunity to do something evil to us this time, so we must leave some foundation to nip it in the bud.”
"The second brother is right.
I was blackmailed by Jiang Li last time.
Many people are already thinking about the little property of the Tang family.
They will definitely not be able to defeat the Japanese army.
If all the troops in their hands are defeated by the Japanese Okay, I'm afraid someone is going to punish us for the crime of defeating the army.
Even if he lost his position, it wouldn't be a big deal if he still had soldiers and guns.
Zhang Xueliang even lost the Northeast.
Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan were defeated again and again, and Nanjing only paid a few words.
As for the abusive public opinion, They are just scholars who have no ability to restrain themselves."
Tang Zuorong also stood up to support Tang Zuofu and said that although Zhang Xueliang gave Tang Yulin face and gave Tang Yulin an establishment of the 5th Army Corps, his family knew his own family affairs, and people inside them all knew what happened to the 5th Army Corps.
The situation is serious.
The guns and guns have not been updated for several years.
Many people use rifles whose rifling is almost flat.
I don’t know how many artillery guns can still fire.

It’s not enough to hit a dozen beards.
However, fighting the Japanese army is not asking for death:
