Chapter 209: Surprise Attack on Kulen (3)
Originally, Kulun should not have any other troops except for a small number of guards of Jebzundamba VIII, but now the Qing court is weak, and the tendency of Kulun to become independent is getting heavier, so it can't control Kulun at all, not to mention that this time the Qing court also hopes to use Kulun's power to contain East China**, or consume East China**, and turn a blind eye to the fact that Kulun is recruiting troops and expanding the army.
However, in order not to irritate the Qing court too much, and also hope to gain the support of the Qing court, the garrison of Kulen is still in charge of the Qing army, and the Mongol army of Jebtsundamba VIII is only responsible for guarding the temple of Kulun and the residential area of some powerful people, and the two sides are quite fine for the time being.
The soldiers guarding the gate of the fence were still a little drowsy at this time, after all, it was only 7 o'clock in the morning, and most of the residents of Cullen were still asleep.
And at this moment, the soldiers guarding the gate of the fence were in a daze, only to hear a dull thunderous sound coming, looking up to look for the sound, only to see dozens of black shadows in the distance, slowly coming, I don't know what it is, when I was wondering, only to hear the sound of "boom", the wall has been covered by the explosion in several places, several soldiers have been engulfed by the explosion, then the other soldiers understand that this is the enemy coming.
At this time, the Kulen side did not expect that the People's Army would run thousands of miles, from Chifeng to Kulen, so it was not fully prepared to defend at all, and the Qing army stationed in Mongolia was still a green battalion, not only backward equipment, only more than 100 people in the 500 army were equipped with rifles, but also old-fashioned single-shot rifles, and the rest of the soldiers still only used spears or cold weapons such as swords, shields, bows and arrows. At this time, there were not many people at the entrance, only more than 20 people in total, just now by the tank gun, more than half of them have been wounded and killed, and the remaining few people have already been frightened to disperse, there are still dare to guard and resist the enemy, and hurriedly fled to the city, shouting loudly while running: "There is an enemy, the enemy is attacking." ”
The tank's artillery easily blasted through the wooden fence of Kulen, and then rolled over the broken wood and still burning flames on the ground, and slowly drove into the city of Kulen. KPA soldiers, who were on both sides of the tank, followed them into the city of Kulen. And troop carriers and armored vehicles are guarding the intersections.
Since the shops were not open for business at this time, the streets of Kulen were deserted, and there were hardly a few people to be seen, but this was also conducive to the actions of the People's Army, according to their respective plans before the war, and they acted separately, and the People's Army from the east side had two platoons from the main road to the summer palace, and three tanks lined up in one "product" zigzag, advancing towards the summer palace, the other three are about 50 meters behind, lined up in a horizontal row, one of them is still backwards, protecting the back of his companions, in the middle is two communication command vehicles, and the soldiers of the two platoons are lined up on both sides, advancing in unison. At the same time, he also shouted at the shops on both sides, honestly hiding in the room, and not coming out.
The shops that have opened the doors have been opened, some of them are frightened and hurriedly put the door panels on, and some even give up the shops and escape, while the shops that have not yet opened the door are awakened, and hurriedly move the tables and cabinets, and the doors and windows are all shocked, after all, since the establishment of Cullen, there has never been a sword soldier.
Of course, as long as these residents do not make trouble, the KPA will not intrude on them, although the speed of the march is not fast, but the range of Kulen is not large, so it is only a few minutes, the KPA advanced to a position less than 200 meters away from the summer palace, and at this time the Mongolian army guarding the summer palace finally reacted.
Although the Mongolian army was formed not long ago, it was indeed much stronger than the Qing army, not to mention anything else, that is, the soldiers on duty at night were more than the Qing army, and the mental state was also better than the Qing army, and quickly gathered more than 100 people, and dispatched more than 30 people to intercept the people's army on the main street, while the rest of the soldiers were arranged to garrison the palace wall.
Seeing that there was an enemy attack, the three tanks were also changed from the "product" shape to a horizontal formation, and the soldiers quickly concentrated behind the tanks, and the machine guns on the roof of the three tanks and the machine guns in front of the car opened fire together, and most of the Mongolian soldiers were wounded and killed before the blink of an eye, and the slightest counterattack was also hit on the tank, and no one was injured at all.
However, in this way, the advance of the KPA has also slowed down, and the Mongolian soldiers have set up some fire points on the palace wall to shoot at the KPA.
At this time, the main guns of the three tanks opened fire, "boom boom boom boom The sound of several explosions, the palace wall was suddenly blown open more than 10 big holes, and the soldiers who were stationed on the palace wall were also bombarded by the artillery and killed countless people, and then the tank opened fire on the one hand, and slowly advanced towards the palace wall, although the Mongolian soldiers struggled to resist and did not retreat, and there was a group of soldiers to reinforce, but only by flesh and blood, after all, it could not compete with the steel giant, the tank relied on a huge body, huge strength, and smashed through the palace wall that had already been broken, leading the infantry, and killing into the summer palace.
At the same time, another line of troops also reached another target of this assault on Kulun, the Kulen minister Yamen. After the Qing troops guarding the Kulun wall were defeated and retreated, they immediately fled to the Yamen of the Kulen minister and reported to Yanzhi, the Kulun minister of the Qing court. At this time, Yanzhi hadn't gotten up yet, he was woken up in his sleep, and before he understood what was going on, he only heard the sound of continuous explosions of "boom, boom, boom".
Yanzhi was suddenly frightened and sleepy, turned over and sat up from the bed, and said in a trembling voice: "What's the matter?
A pro-follower stumbled in and said, "Dashuai, it's a big deal, it's a pseudo-rebel...... The rebel army of thieves has come to kill Cullen. ”
Pseudo-rebellion is the Qing court's name for East China**, so after Yanzhi heard it, he was also shocked into a cold sweat, and said: "Isn't the puppet thief army still in Dalinor Lake, how did you kill Kulun, what are Damuddin ** and Babu Zabu doing here?"
Qin Sui cried and said with a sad face: "Dashuai, this slave doesn't know, he was probably killed and defeated by the thief army." ”
Yanzhi said again: "What about the living Buddha?
He said: "I don't know about the slaves, but the summer palace has been firing cannons just now, but I'm afraid that the living Buddha is now more than lucky." ”
Tingzhi's eyes were straight, and his mind was blank, and then another person said: "Dashuai, now that the situation is critical, why don't you quickly change your clothes and escape from Kulun first?"
While he was talking, he only heard a few more "boom, boom" cannon sounds, only the windows and doors trembled, and the utensils placed on the Bogu shelf were shaken off a few and shattered, and then the gunshots rang out like violent beans, and Yanzhi also woke up from a trance and said, "Quick, hurry up and wait for the official to change clothes." ”
So the entourage waited for Tingzhi to get dressed, and before the clothes were fully dressed, Yanzhi was forced to lead a few entourages and hurriedly walked out of the bedroom.
Just walked to the door of the back house, before going down the steps, I saw a few pro-soldiers stumbling down the steps, saw Yanzhi, and didn't care about saluting, and said: "Dashuai, Dashuai, the rebellious thieves have been killed, and ...... killed."
Before he finished speaking, he only heard a sound of "bang-la-la", only to see that the gate connecting the back house and the front yard of the yamen collapsed, and a strange-shaped vehicle, with a body of debris and rubble, broke into the back house, and behind this strange car, there were more than 10 soldiers in gray-green military uniforms and bayonets and rifles. Several guards hurriedly stood in front of Yanzhi.
And at this moment, at the front end of the strange car, a tongue of fire suddenly erupted, and several guards fell to the ground and died, and several other relatives and guards did not dare to step forward again, although they were still holding their knives and guns, but they kept retreating. And Yanzhi was even more frightened, holding on to the pillar so that he did not fall, and the dozen or so soldiers who rushed in with the strange car immediately formed a semi-arc, and the rifle in his hand pointed at everyone, at this time only heard a "squeak", the top of the strange car turned up a round cover, and a person got out of the car, revealing half of his body, and said to everyone: "Put down your arms and surrender to avoid death." ”
Seeing that the muzzle of a black hole on the top of the strange car was pointed at him, Yanzhi's legs weakened, and he sat down on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, surrender, I surrender." ”
After all, the scale of the summer palace was much larger than that of the Kulun minister's yamen, and there were more soldiers guarding it, and the will to fight was several times stronger than that of the Qing soldiers. Because the current Kulun** is actually a regime that integrates the sect and government, and Jebtsundamba VIII is a combination of religion and political power, his guards are naturally very devout believers, so they will not be scattered like the Qing army, and the will to fight is quite strong, although there are countless wounds and deaths, but they still fight to the death.
Although the Mongolian soldiers are also equipped with rifles, compared with the People's Army, the weapons are still too monotonous, not only lacking small weapons of mass destruction such as hand ** and grenadiers, not to mention mortars, machine guns and other weapons, and the training and actual combat experience are far inferior to the soldiers of the People's Army, not to mention that the People's Army also has tanks to fight together.
Despite the large number of houses and narrow roads inside the summer palace, which was not very suitable for tank combat, the Mongol soldiers did not have weapons that could threaten the tanks, and the tanks still had a considerable effect on the fire support and assistance of ordinary soldiers, not to mention that the number of the KPA was still too small, and without the fire support and assistance of tanks, the battle would be quite difficult.
But with the assistance of tanks, the People's Army's attack on the summer palace is quite easy, after all, there are tanks in front, not only can block the gun, the firepower is unstoppable, other soldiers only need to accompany the perimeter of the tank, do not let the enemy get close to the tank, and follow the chase and fight the water dogs, so although the Mongolian soldiers are numerous, they can't stop the attack of the People's Army, but the range of the summer palace is quite wide, so it can support a longer time.
