Chapter 47: The Battle of Jinzhou (5)
Originally, the bandit army had been beaten into chaos by the artillery fire of the People's Army, so after the People's Army launched an attack on the camp of the bandits, they encountered almost no resistance, and it was very easy to attack the camp of the bandits.
In fact, although the bandit army was violently shelled by the People's Army, but now the casualties are only more than 1,000 people, in fact, they still occupy an absolute advantage in numbers, even if they have been in chaos, but if the bandit army can fight to the death, the result may not be lost, but the bandit army is still in essence the nature of the alliance, in fact, it is a plate of loose sand, each bandit has its own small abacus, in the victory is naturally everyone brave, They all rushed to be the first to snatch the spoils of war, and once the battlefield was in an unfavorable situation, they immediately split up and preserve their strength, so at this time, the leaders of the bandit armies also fled from the camp with their own troops, and fled in all directions, even Du Lisan was unable to call out.
And Du Lisan did not have the determination to fight to the death with the People's Army, in fact, he was ready to flee at any time, and he saw that now the general trend had gone, and he would stay there for a long time, and at this time, Song Qinglian had recruited more than 200 old troops, and after converging Du Lisan, the direction of Liushui Fort fled, because the direction of Liushui Fort was the only way to Mongolia, and it was also agreed by Du Lisan and Song Qinglian in advance.
After all, the KPA was too small in number, and although some of the bandits were intercepted, most of them escaped from the camp. The remaining bandit soldiers in the camp saw that the situation was gone, and they could not escape, so they had to surrender to the KPA, which on the one hand housed the surrendered bandits, and on the other hand, they also distributed their forces and pursued the bandits by separate routes.
Du Lisan led the people to escape a distance of more than 20 kilometers in the direction of Liushui Fort, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he only heard the sound of gunfire in front of him, and all the more than 10 soldiers and bandits in front fell to the ground. Du Lisan couldn't help but be shocked, hurriedly reined in his horse, stared at it, and saw that on the road ahead, a row of sandbags was discharged, followed by People's Army soldiers with guns shooting, and the bandits were still being shot one after another and fell to the ground, and the other bandits retreated one after another.
However, Du Lisan's heart was very anxious, because he had seen that the number of intercepted People's Army was not large, and he planned to organize an attack and strive to break through the defense line of the People's Army, after all, this was the only way to escape into Mongolia.
In fact, at this time, there was only one company of the KPA intercepted, and it was still a local garrison, and because of the urgency of time, it was too late to build a perfect defensive position, and only built some sandbags. And Du Lisan led about 4 or 500 bandits, of which his old department numbered about 160 people, and the rest joined in the middle of the road, because seeing that Du Lisan led the team, he felt that following him would have a greater chance of escaping, so if this bandit army could fight hard and attack desperately, it was indeed very certain that it could break through the defense line of the People's Army and escape from life.
It's just that now the bandits' morale has been lost and their fighting spirit has been discouraged, and they still have the courage to fight to the death, and as soon as they see the People's Army intercepting them in front of them, they immediately turn around and flee. Du Lisan and Song Qinglian rode their horses back and forth in the bandit group, shouting loudly: "Don't run, don't run, rush over, rush over and be safe." ”
But now no one listens to them at all, and even many of Du Lisan's old subordinates have joined the ranks of fleeing. Du Lisan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and said to Song Qinglian: "Old Song, what should we do now?"
Song Qinglian was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the sound of "porphyry", a puddle of blood burst out on his forehead, his head was crooked, and he fell off the horse.
Du Li was shocked and said, "Old Song, you ......"
At this moment, I only heard a sad whine from the horse, his limbs were weak, and he fell to the ground, but fortunately, Du Lisan's reaction was quick, and he threw his feet out of the horse's pedal at the very moment, and was not pressed by the fallen war horse, and when he fell to the ground, he rolled again, hid behind a big tree, and was also shocked into a cold sweat.
Song Qinglian's accidental death also completely dispelled Du Lisan's courage to fight, so he hid behind the big tree for a while, stabilized his mood for a while, and escaped from the interception of the People's Army along with other bandits.
Everyone walked out of the distance of 5 or 6 kilometers in one go, and there was no KPA in sight, so Du Lisan breathed a sigh of relief, found a big rock, and sat down to rest. At this time, there were less than 200 people left around him, and when they saw Du Lisan sitting down to rest, they all sat down one after another, and Bi Jing was tossing back and forth, and he was also very tired.
At this time, a few bandits came to Du Lisan and said, "Big boss, where are we going now?"
Du Lisan was stunned for a while, and didn't know how to answer for a while, at this time Du Lisan was also a little confused, where should he go, it is impossible to escape from Liushui Fort, and other roads may not be easy, but the direction of escaping back to the camp is not the best policy, maybe the People's Army is waiting for him there. Although it is said that the bandits are all kings of the mountains, Du Lisan knows very well that the deep mountains and old forests are not a safe place, because this area is not the environment that he is familiar with, and it is very easy to lose his way and be trapped in the mountains, not only will he be cut off from food, but he will also be attacked by wild beasts.
At this time, there were some bandits gathered in Longlong, so Du Lisan's side gathered 3 or 400 people, which also made Du Lisan feel a little relieved, after all, a large number of people always makes people feel safer, so Du Lisan also thought, it is better to try another way and try your luck. So Du Lisan led everyone and got up and set off again. But less than 1 kilometer away, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and a cavalry army came from the avenue.
This cavalry army is the reinforcement sent by the Dalinghe battlefield, a total of a company, belongs to Zhang Zuolin's department, although this cavalry company arrived at the battlefield, the battle has come to an end, Ouyang Longxing did not give them the instructions of the body, but they judged their actions on the battlefield, and the commander of the cavalry company, Ji Jinchun, is also a bandit, so he is very clear about the bandits' actions, after a few circles on the battlefield, he immediately found the direction of escape of several bandits, so Ji Jinchun divided the cavalry company into two, each team of 2 platoons, and pursued it from two directions。 And the cavalry led by Ji Jinchun just caught up with Du Lisan's bandit army.
Of course, now Ji Jinchun didn't know that Du Lisan was in this bandit army, but he still led the cavalry army and rushed up to the bandits.
In fact, the two cavalry platoons are less than 100 people, but at this time the bandits still have the heart to fight again, the power to fight again, not to mention the impact of the cavalry, in this era there is still considerable power, so the bandit army was immediately rushed by the cavalry, scattered and fled, but in front of the cavalry, even the escape is very difficult, often did not escape a few steps, was chased by the cavalry, or was knocked to the ground by the war horse, or was hacked to death by the knight with a saber.
The situation in other places was similar, because all the routes out had been blocked by the KPA, and the bandit troops on every road were blocked by the KPA, so they could not escape at all. Some of the bandits were forced to flee into the mountains and forests, while most of the bandits had no choice but to surrender to the People's Army when they saw that they had no way out.
Wang Kefu stood on a protruding cliff in the middle of the mountain, looking down the mountain, although he could not see the whole picture of the entire battlefield, but he could also see a considerable part clearly, under the interception and pursuit of the People's Army, the bandit army either died or fled, or surrendered to the People's Army, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this battle of assault on Jinzhou was not only a complete failure, but also Du Li's three divisions were basically wiped out, and Russia's hope to attack Jinzhou again to enhance its bargaining chips in the negotiations was also completely frustrated, because even if Du Lisan could escape, I am afraid it would be useless。 Bi Jing chose to support Du Lisan at the beginning, because Du Lisan was the most powerful, and now even if Du Lisan survives, I am afraid that there will be few people left, and the value will naturally be greatly reduced
When the People's Army launched an attack on the bandit camp, Wang Kefu knew that the battle had been completely lost, and if he did not quickly find a way to retreat, he would either die in the chaos or be captured by the People's Army. If other bandits are captured by the People's Army, there may be a glimmer of life, such as going to work as a coolie or something; but they are absolutely not spared, because they are registered and wanted in East China, although East China has not spent much energy to really want themselves, but if they take the initiative to send them to the door, East China will never leave a way back for themselves. So Wang Kefu and several surviving Japanese soldiers immediately chose to flee into the deep mountains and old forests.
The bandits did not dare to easily escape into the deep mountains and old forests, but Wang Kefu and the Japanese soldiers were not very afraid, because they had received systematic training in wild survival, and they also had an artifact for wild survival - a compass, which was enough to ensure that they would not lose their way in the deep mountains and old forests, as long as they could maintain their direction, the difficulty of survival in the deep mountains and old forests would be reduced by half. As for food and beasts, it's not too difficult to have guns in hand.
A few men got into the woods and climbed a hill, and sure enough, they got out of the battlefield. Wang Kefu felt for a while on the cliff in the middle of the mountain, then turned around and said to several other Japanese: "Du Lisan is unreliable, let's go." ”
A Japanese soldier said, "Wang Sang, where are we going now?"
Wang Kefu said: "Let's go back to Mongolia first, only Mongolia can ensure security now, and then send the situation of this battle to General Fukushima and wait for his instructions." ”
Several other Japanese soldiers also nodded, expressing their agreement with Wang Kefu's decision, so Wang Kefu took out a compass, determined the direction, and led several other Japanese soldiers to the west.
