Chapter 313 Duan cannon came to help

Lin Xiao was shocked when he heard this, but then he was overjoyed.

Lin Xiao's surprise was certainly not a thriller, but a surprise.

There are light and dark sentinels everywhere outside, and it is naturally impossible for someone to come to be an enemy, and he is surprised that this guy is really fast enough.

Because he could tell who the person was at once, and he was too familiar with that big voice - the cannon of the Northern Shaanxi Hanzi Duan!

Sure enough, as soon as the voice outside the door fell, two figures appeared at the door, and everyone in the courtyard looked back together, it was Xiao Biaorui who led Duan Zhenghong in a military uniform and rushed in.

"The cannon is coming, it's coming so fast,"

Lin Xiao hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and punched him in the chest, "You kid, why don't you say hello on the radio first, and make a surprise attack?" ”

When Duan Zhenghong saw Lin Xiao, he grinned happily and said, "Isn't it, can I give you a surprise......

"Haha, this surprise came well,"

Lin Xiao couldn't close his mouth with a smile, "Say, how many people have been brought." ”

"Report to the captain, I'm beside you...... There are only two gun platoons, is it enough? ”

Duan Zhenghong straightened his chest and replied loudly, but then lowered his voice again, "There is also a main force company, which was sent by me to outflank the East Gate." ”

"Enough is enough."

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded again and again, feeling relaxed.

Not to mention two cannon platoons, even two infantry squads are excellent now.

The reinforcements came, although all the thoughts and arrangements just now were all in vain, but in the end, there was no need to risk casualties and bloody battles to keep the hundreds of thousands of stone food, Lin Xiao's mood was not to mention how happy.

After standing in the courtyard and saying a few words, he let Duan Zhenghong into the main hall, pressed him on a stool, and asked them carefully about the battle situation over there.

……

It turned out that just yesterday afternoon, the fleet led by Duan Zhenghong had just arrived at the designated position and was crossing the main force of the second battalion across the river, when Lin Xiao's radio call came.

During the call, when he learned that Lin Xiao was in danger again, he was going to Guangzhou with a few people, and Zhang Chenfeng was not even by his side, Duan Zhenghong, the cannon barrel, was immediately not calm again.

After a brief discussion with Xia Bomin, he urged his subordinates to speed up and send the main force of the second battalion, the second company and the baggage company, to the opposite bank and tie up the pockets east of Zhaoqing to prevent the Qing army from fleeing eastward.

He then ordered the rest of his troops to stand by the river, and then led the naval fleet to carry his cannon company up the river overnight.

As soon as he arrived in Zhaoqing, he ordered a heavy bombardment and sent several remaining Qing army batteries on the bank of the Xijiang River outside Zhaoqing City to the west with cannons.

Xia Bomin was even more anxious, Duan Zhenghong's fleet had just blasted out the forts on the north bank, and before the fleet approached the south bank, his troops were neighing and barking, and they couldn't wait to get on the boat and cross the river.

In fact, Xia Bomin's current strength at hand is not enough, except for an incomplete baggage battalion and an independent battalion equipped with cold weapons, he only has a regimental guard platoon, a reconnaissance platoon and a Lin Xiao removed from Duan Zhenghong's hands to strengthen the machine gun platoon given to him.

In this way, the real siege force at his hands was barely worth the strength of four companies.

However, Xia Bomin did not dislike the lack of troops at all, because, in addition to his independent battalion of 600 people, the 3,000 Ming army of the fierce general Wang Xing had already sharpened his swords, and he was impatiently waiting to cross the river to capture prisoners all over the world.

In the past few days, several batches of scouts have sent out to find out the intelligence, which shows that the Qing army in Zhaoqing, which is across the river, has long been a frightened bird, drunk and dreaming of death in the city every day, and has fun in time, completely sitting and waiting to die.

If it weren't for Shang Kexi's strict order not to abandon the city, after just seeing the spectacular scene of the riverside fort being bombed, I am afraid that the guard Zu Ze would be the first to flee early in the morning, and the tens of thousands of people under his command would have already scattered and fled, and it is estimated that there would be no need to fight.

Sure enough, the pitifully small fleet of sailors of the Qing army did not dare to come up to intercept at all, and without a single shot, Xia Bomin's main force crossed the river one after another.

The main direction of attack was naturally the south gate facing the riverbank, and with only two "Javelin" missiles, the soldiers bombed the south gate of Zhaoqing to pieces, and sent it to the west together with the tall city gate building.

At the sound of the order, the whole army assaulted, and all the attacking troops rushed in.

Street fighting does not exist, and killing does not exist.

After the soldiers entered the city, as far as the eye could see, the city was full of Tartar soldiers with big braids, confused and panicked, as soon as they saw the Ming army killing, the other party had not had time to release their guns, they knelt on their knees, kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Wang Xing was the most excited, he had fought with the Tartars for so many years, and this was the first time he had recovered a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands, and it was also the first time he had seen so many Tartar soldiers who blindly begged for mercy and did not resist.

The people of Guangdong are relatively bloody, and they have long been in contact with each other privately after being oppressed and suffering, and they are ready to respond to the king's master.

With the sound of gunfire and the chaos outside, there were already people running onto the street to lead the way for the Ming army, and more people were chasing and killing the lone Tartars everywhere in groups of three or five.

Some stragglers who had no way to escape into the people's houses were either tied up and taken out by the five flowers, or slaughtered by the male host.

Duan Zhenghong on the boat saw that everyone had crossed the river, and without saying a word, the same order, the fleet immediately turned around and went down the river, picked up the first and third companies of the main force of the second battalion that were on standby on the shore, and quickly marched eastward along a waterway called Nananyong, heading straight for Huaxian (now Huadu District) in the northwest of Guangzhou.

The battle plan was agreed upon a long time ago and approved by Lin Xiao.

Duan Zhenghong personally led the main force of Chen Qice's naval division, carrying two companies of the 2nd Battalion and his own two remaining machine gun platoons, responsible for attacking the northwest and northeast directions of Guangzhou.

The main force of the first battalion, which had already crossed the Xijiang River, handed over the defense of the Shunde area to the independent battalion, and the two main forces crossed north in the starry night, directly into the area of Panyu County on the south bank of the Pearl River, blocking Shang Kexi's escape to the sea from the land.

The outlet of the Pearl River was in charge of the naval division detachments of Zhang Chenfeng and Chen Qice, who captured the Humen Fort.

In addition, the main forces of the three battalions and the two independent battalions that had gone north to Shaozhou early had also divided their troops to the south, all the way over the mountains and mountains, and the front of the troops was directed at the Chaoshan area, completely blocking Shang Kexi's eastward escape to southern Fujian, and at the same time being responsible for monitoring the movements of the Qing army in Fujian.

As a result, all ministries have taken action in advance, and the one that has delayed a little is Xia Bomin's department.

After capturing Zhaoqing, he will leave behind the independent battalion and the second battalion of the baggage company, and will garrison Zhaoqing with a part of Wang Xing's subordinates, mainly responsible for guarding the prisoners, and cooperating with the receiving officials led by Lian Chengbi to pacify the people and restore order.

Xia Bomin and Wang Xing will personally lead the main army to follow up quickly, and will go straight to the area of Liyuzhou, responsible for attacking the Pearl River camp in the west of Guangzhou, and the troops will be directed to the west gate.

……

Duan Zhenghong was concerned about the safety of the captain, and he was very anxious in his heart, and commanded the sailor fleet to go down the river all the way, ignoring the harassment of sporadic Qing troops along the way.

Just after noon, the fleet arrived at Yuyunzhou, northwest of Guangzhou.

After the whole army went ashore and rested for a while, Duan Zhenghong ordered the first company to turn north to capture Huaxian, and personally led the main force of the third company and the machine gun company all the way south along the east bank of the Pearl River, heading straight for the north gate.

Thanks: "Take it away", "Shuangshuang", and "Xiao An'an" for the reward! Thank you for your support!
