Chapter 524: Front-and-back strikes

Although it was the first time to fight against the Tiance Army, Ye Keshu had already seen that the Qing Dynasty might really be hopeless. 20,000 to 100, others are just a few rounds of artillery bombardment, the Qing cavalry has already lost more than 2,000 people, more than 10% of the number of troops, how to fight this battle? What should I do if I meet a large Tiance army?

However, Ye Keshu, as Yue Tuo's assistant, did not give his military level in vain. In order to prevent the Tiance army from luring the headquarters into the encirclement, he constantly released a large number of reconnaissance horses to the two wings in case of accidents.

The situation that Ye Keshu was worried about was Wang Yue's operational concept, that is, to encircle and annihilate this Qing army. Although Ye Keshu was an outstanding general of the Qing army, he was limited by the thinking of the times, and only considered the possibility of land ambushes, but did not know that there was such a tactic as a cross-sea landing operation.

The pursuing Qing army evacuation formation continued the pursuit, and in order to save ammunition, the shelling of the Tiance army had stopped, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns of armored vehicles and the coaxial machine guns of tanks continued to fire sporadically at the Qing army.

Chasing about ten kilometers from the Jinzhou Isthmus, Yue Tuo saw that the victor was in sight, and suddenly thousands of Tiance troops appeared in front of him, and then it was the two security regiments of the Tiance army with 3,000 troops that were deployed here. In addition to the Tiance Army, there are more than 3,000 people under Shen Shikui's department.

Seeing that the dozen or so chariots had returned to their own formation, Yue Tuo reluctantly ordered: "The whole army retreats!" ”

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Ye Keshu hurriedly urged.

After the vast horn sounded, the Qing army immediately retracted, and the front team turned into a rear team and rushed towards the road from which it came.

According to Dolgon's battle plan, Yue Tuo's forward was not allowed to confront the Tiance army head-on, and when he encountered the enemy, he would leave, retreat with one blow, look for fighters in the movement, stretch the battle line of the Tiance army, and create an opportunity for the Qing army to annihilate a small group of Tiance army, and accumulate small victories into big victories.

The idea is good, the Qing army does have a large number of cavalry and good mobility, but unfortunately the Tiance army is completely a cross-era army.

Yue Tuo's pursuit of a company of the Tiance Army did not violate Dorgon's combat strategy, but the effect was shocking. Therefore, Yue Tuo, who led the army to retreat, was blown by the cold wind, and his heart was already cold, and practice proved that if the Qing army wanted to win the Tiance army according to Dolgon's strategy, there was almost no hope! The Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty is in danger!

"Lord Belle, it's not good, the pass is blocked by the Tiance Army!" Yue Tuo, who was thinking wildly, was suddenly interrupted by the scout's voice.

Yue Tuo shouted excitedly: "You dog minion, what nonsense? How can there be a Tiance army behind us, and how many people are there? ”

With many years of experience in battle battles, Yue Tuo's military ability is unquestionable, and he will never let the enemy touch his rear, but he is not aware of it, especially on the long and narrow Liaodong Peninsula, it is even more difficult to carry out such an operation.

The scout said: "The minions don't dare to lie, there are no less than two thousand Tiance troops in front. ”

The front army had slowed down the speed of the horses, and Yue Tuo took Ye Keshu and other officers to the front, and saw that more than 2,000 Tiance troops were meeting the enemy in a whole team. On the nearby coast, there is also a dock landing ship and two passenger and cargo ro-ro ships, and farther out on the sea are coast guard warships and maritime surveillance warships.

"They, they're coming by boat!" Yue Tuo finally came to his senses.

Across the sea came the 3rd Regiment of the Tiance Army and a battalion of the Marine Corps, with a total strength of 2,000 men, which seemed to be slightly larger than they actually were, as there were 26 armored vehicles and 12 amphibious assault vehicles.

It is better to encircle and annihilate the enemy outside, this Qing army is cavalry, so encirclement is the most effective means, as long as the Jinzhou Isthmus is blocked, the Qing army will be difficult to fly.

At this time, news came from the rear army: "Lord Belle, the Tiance Army behind is pressing up!" ”

Two security regiments and more than 3,000 Ming troops in Dongjiang Town, led by the two tanks and ten armored vehicles that had just been pursued, surrounded the Qing army in an arc-shaped formation.

Yue Tuo's face changed several times, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Rush, the whole army will attack the pass and fight with them." ”

Judging from the current situation, only by rushing out of the Jinzhou Isthmus can there be a way to live, and the strength of the Tiance Army chasing over is far more than the number of troops blocking the way, and the security regiment wears armed police camouflage, and from the perspective of people of this era, the military uniforms of the Tiance Army are basically the same.

Yue Tuo gave an order, and more than 17,000 Qing troops launched a fierce charge against the Tiance army blocked in Jinzhou.

Because there is no element of land reclamation, the Isthmus of Jinzhou is much narrower than in previous lives, and it is still five kilometers wide. It is impossible to completely seal it, but what Wang Yue pursues is total annihilation.

"Zixuan, let's start!" Looking at the Qing army charging from two kilometers away, Wang Yue said to Li Zixuan.

"Yes!" Li Zixuan saluted Wang Yuelizheng.

Li Zixuan picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered: "All of them, fire!" ”

The intercoms of the artillery commanders of the coast guard warships and dock landing ships, the artillery commanders of the 3rd Regiment and the artillery commanders of the Marine Battalion have been adjusted to the same frequency in advance.

With the order issued, three 76-mm naval guns, four 155 self-propelled howitzers, and 60 mortars launched a fierce artillery attack on the Qing army.

Among them, the power of the 155 self-propelled howitzer is the most amazing, every shell landing, no one within a radius of 50 meters can live, as long as it is hit by shrapnel within a radius of 100 meters, it will either be killed or injured.

Without any cover protection, most of them only wore cotton armor, the Qing cavalry was tragic. The huge crowd of Qing troops seemed to be boiling, a large area of the Qing army was blown up, and countless shrapnel flew and swept through the crowd, but all the Qing troops who were swept by shrapnel were bleeding, and even limbs cut off by shrapnel fell into the dust.

The casualties of the Qing army were staggering, and because they were all cavalry, they were tall and magnified the effect of the artillery bombardment.

The security forces in the rear also set up four Type 38 guns and immediately joined the shelling.

Observing the miserable scene of the Qing army around him, Yue Tuo, who was galloping wildly, only felt cold hands and feet, and a chill down his spine, and now he finally knew that the firepower of the Tiance army was terrifying.

But now is not the time to regret it, only by rushing forward can there be hope of survival.

More than 2,000 meters, the Qing army ran for more than five minutes under artillery fire before approaching about 400 meters of the Tiance army. At this time, they had already been baptized by more than 40 rounds of 155-mm howitzers, more than 300 rounds of 76-mm naval guns, and 3,000 rounds of mortar shells, and 6 or 7,000 people had fallen on the way to the charge.

At this time, the shelling stopped, and the two Tiance armies in front and behind pressed up on the Qing army, and the Qing army at this time had no formation and had already been blown up by artillery fire.

Within four hundred meters, the Tiance Army began to fire on the march, "Smack! "Smack!" Syllable! As the guns continued, the Qing cavalry running in front fell off their horses one after another. The closer the distance, the more intense the gunfire, and the rate of casualties of the Qing army rose sharply.
