Chapter 742: City Battle

"Boom, boom!" The Type 99 tank fired more than a dozen high-explosive bombs, knocking away the two gates of Taihe and Anding, which had been blocked with earth from the inside, and the two gates in the south of Liaoyang City were opened in an instant.

More than 100 armored vehicles entered from the two gates of Taihe and Anding, and then one went to the far gate of the north gate of the town due north, one ran to the east gate of Pu'an and Suiyuan, and one ran to the arch gate of the west gate, a total of three directions to kill the city.

The Manchu government of Liaoyang City was originally the Liaodong Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty and the General Military Office, all of which were set up in Nancheng, so Nancheng was the place where the Qing army gathered heavy troops, although the Tiance army carried out a fixed-point removal of military facilities in the city, it was not enough to completely eliminate them.

So after the armored vehicles rushed into the city, a dense burst of gunfire rang out. The armored vehicles went on a rampage, ignoring any resistance, and attacked the target location.

Street fighting is a daily training subject of the special operations brigade, so all the soldiers loaded in the armored vehicles are special combat members, and after entering the city, they arrive at the target location and get out of the car one after another, seize the advantageous position, and begin to clear the Qing army in the city.

The areas where the fighting was most intense were near the government in the south and the granaries in the east city, especially the granaries, which were the places that the Qing army had to defend, which was related to the question of how long Liaoyang could hold out.

In light of the operational characteristics of the Tiance Army, the Manchu Qing Dynasty top-level officials stressed to generals at all levels on many occasions that the Battle of Liaoyang should be based on positional warfare and street battles in the city, and Liaoyang should be turned into a meat grinder for the Tiance Army.

However, Liaoyang was broken by the Tiance army in an instant, and such a powerful position did not hold out for even a day, which was a huge blow to the morale of the Qing army.

In the face of the Tiance army armed to the teeth, the Qing army was still fighting, and under the leadership of diehards, wave after wave fought to the death with the Tiance army that invaded the city.

It is said to be a fight, but the real battle scene is slaughtered by the Tiance army wave after wave.

Dense rain of bullets poured down on the Qing army, and the Qing army was knocked down in pieces, with stumps and broken arms, blood and human bodies falling into the water, staining the bluestone paved ground red.

The strong body of the armored car made the Qing army helpless, and more than 100 armored vehicles were like more than 100 moving fortresses, and they were fortresses that could breathe fire.

The Qing army relied on street battles at various intersections, or small masonry bunkers converted from residential buildings, and shot the enemy with tiger cannons, firearms, or bows and arrows.

I have to admire the learning ability of the Qing army, and the setting of such small pillboxes is actually matched according to the crossfire and high and low configurations.

However, this kind of improvised pillbox built by the local method could not stop the penetration of the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun at all, let alone a single hit of the recoilless gun, and the accurate point fire of the Type 95 rifle from a distance of 200 meters could easily put the bullet into the firing port.

The armored vehicles were not afraid of the attacks of the Qing army's various weapons, and along the way, they found and destroyed countless such earthen bunkers, and heavy bullets ruthlessly penetrated the outer walls of the bunkers, killing the Qing troops in them.

Although the Type 99 tanks that entered the city later moved slowly because of their huge size and the narrow streets of Liaoyang City, the tank guns were like big cannons and big mosquitoes to deal with this kind of small pillbox.

Most of the special combat personnel walked through the roofs of the buildings, killing all the Qing troops in their line of sight at any time, and the Qing troops hidden in the houses in front of and behind the houses were their targets.

"It's down, it's down!" Soon after the Tiance army entered the city, batch after batch of Qing troops chose to surrender.

The emperor was captured, Liaoyang had become an isolated island, and the Tiance army quickly broke the city, all of which meant that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was already in decline. The Qing army that chose to surrender was dominated by the Han military banner, these people did not have a national concept, it was impossible to fight for the country, they were actually fighting for their jobs.

According to the battle situation in the city, other troops of the Tiance Army also entered the city one after another to clear the remnants of the enemy and collect prisoners.

"It's only been two hours, and the battle has been fought like this, father, you have an idea!" Bellewakda is like an ant on a hot fire, going back and forth.

Two hours, four hours, this is counting the time when the Tiance army launched an artillery bombardment.

All the bad news came from all sides, the various units of the Qing army in the city had been quickly divided by the Tiance army, and the granary in the east of the city had been lost. If the granary is lost, even if the Tiance army stops the offensive and only guards the area under its control, the Qing army will collapse on its own within three days.

Dai Shan has a posture of resignation, and he is not surprised by any news when it comes, but he has not issued a key order until now.

Beizi Mandahai also said anxiously: "Father, you are talking." ”

Gushan Ezhen Baituyin next to him sighed and said: "Please be calm and don't be impatient, Prince Li and I had already expected such a result before the battle, once the Tiance army attacked the city, the connection with the various departments would be cut off by the Tiance army, so I had already ordered each department to fight separately." ”

Wakda's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "How can you do this? The result of fighting separately is to be broken by each one, and it is difficult to form a joint force. ”

Saying that, he said to Dai Shan: "Father, please order, I will lead the cavalry to recapture the granary." ”

"Don't be ashamed." Dai Shan finally spoke and reprimanded: "Can your cavalry resist the chariots of the Tiance Army?" I'm afraid that if I can't catch up with the east of the city, the whole army will be wiped out, right? ”

"This ......!" Wakda was speechless, he had seen the power of the chariot of the Tiance army, the cavalry of the Qing army was powerless to fight back in the face of the chariot, he said unwillingly: "Is it just a laissez-faire?" ”

Dai Shan seemed to be ten years old, and he sighed: "I have already seen that any strategy and strategy, in the face of the absolute superiority of the Tiance Army, is in vain, and it is just a matter of time." After the emperor was captured, the last male army of my Qing Dynasty was also buried in Liaoyang, and when Liaoyang fell, it was the day of the Qing Dynasty's demise. As Prince Heshuori, this king has already made up his mind to die and live and die with the city. ”

"But Prince Rui has already protected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the North Hunt, and my father lightly said that it is too early for me to perish in the Qing Dynasty." Wakda was reluctant.

"It's just a matter of breathing." Dai Shan laughed, pointed to the sky and said, "No matter how fast they run, can they escape the pursuit of those big birds of the Tiance Army?" ”

Wakda and Mandahai were speechless, they were just unwilling, unwilling to lose everything in front of them.

Dai Shan said again: "Children, don't accompany your father here to die, and leave quickly, so that you may be able to continue the lineage of Prince Dai Shan, the prince of my li, and not cut it off." ”

"Father!" Wakda and Mandahai fell to their knees and wept bitterly.

Dai Shan waved his hand and said, "Go, go!" ”
