Chapter Twenty-Five: The Great Victory on the Eastern Road Clear the stronghold

Lin Feng, who was commanding on the front line, knew that the three points he was attacking now were all to contain Dolgon, but Lin Feng was not a general who sat in the command headquarters and commanded. Although Li Zhi's intelligence officers had drawn very detailed maps and topographic maps for them, Lin Feng still had to personally look at the terrain everywhere he went. He carefully looked at the terrain around Tashan, Xingshan, and Daxingbao (Daxingbao in Black Mountain), and familiarizing himself with the terrain was a habit they had practiced with Ouyang He. Ouyang He just went out to see the terrain no matter where he went, and he used to take them to see the terrain.

When the headquarters received the news that the two cavalry sent by Dorgon were preparing to raid Daxingbao (Daxingbao in Montenegro), Lin Feng thought of an ambush on the east side of Daxingbao (Daxingbao in Montenegro). Especially after Li Wei communicated with Jiang Ping, he adjusted the battle plan, Lin Feng concentrated the artillery of the two heavy artillery divisions on the east road, and Jiang Pan also ordered Lin Feng to personally take charge of the east road, Lin Feng's heart was like a flower. I thought to myself, God knows me too well, I fancy a place, and now God will give me this place as a battlefield.

The place that Lin Feng is optimistic about is exactly the place where the Dolgon army must attack from the east, and this place is not far from Daxingbao (Daxingbao of Montenegro). From the east, only this place is relatively spacious in front and back, which is suitable for gathering teams. It's also a great place to fight ambushes.

After Lin Feng received Jiang Ping's order, he immediately sent an engineer unit, and in this wide place, there were also a lot of ** quietly arranged along the way of the Ming army, and it was the kind of new remote-controlled anti-infantry**. At the same time, two heavy artillery divisions also carried out calibrations in advance.

Lin Feng ordered the Third Division of the Second Cavalry Army and Li Wei's mechanized infantry regiment in advance to go far behind the road. The order given to them was not to close the siege too early, otherwise the enemy would be alarmed, and the enemy would run away in advance, and it would be difficult for tens of thousands of people to chase him.

Seeing that Azig and they had not yet arrived at the place chosen by Hedu, there was a sound from the north of Daxingbao, and the sound of "rumbling" cannons made Hedu feel shocked, he knew that it was the Mongols and the Yaogang people who were fighting, and that kind of cannon sound was not his own cannon sound. Anxiously waiting, Azig finally came over with Hedu's two younger brothers, and without waiting for Hedu to speak, Azig asked with a serious expression: "Did the kiln people on the other side find out that we are coming?" ”

"Nope!" "I've been sending people to clear their sentinels all the way, and they haven't focused on this side yet, so they're not prepared at all. ”

"Good! It seems that the Mongols attracted their attention. The sound of the cannon was very violent, and I thought it was different from the cannon sound we heard on the grassland. Azig was a little relieved when he heard Hedu say this, "Let's gather the team immediately and catch our breath." We can't wait too long, if the kiln people find out, we will suffer a loss. ”

Azig knew that there were many sappers in the bushes around them at this time, and they were lying in ambush in the dug pit. There were also delta-wing pilots in the sky watching them.

However, the place chosen by Hedu was too small to let go of all the soldiers and horses that Azig had brought. Azig also saw this, this time he was ready to let his Eight Banners take the lead, so he tried his best to gather the cavalry with red flags and white flags. Azig understood that this battle was not trivial, and his Eight Banners took the lead in rushing over, and the Han cavalry could follow and kill him.

Just when Azig felt that it was almost enough and was about to order the cavalry to follow him to Daxingbao to kill, suddenly, many of these cavalrymen exploded a lot of black things with a "bump" under their feet, and the cavalrymen were frightened by the explosion under their feet, and they didn't see what was flying from their feet to the top of their heads, and the black guys on the top of their heads exploded with a "boom", throwing large pieces of prefabricated fragments and steel balls above their heads. The explosion of these things was so powerful that each of them would knock down a cavalry underneath.

Azig's three sons immediately surrounded him in the middle. The frightened Azig knew that he had been ambushed by the Kiln Gang people, so he didn't find the sentry of the Kiln Gang people along the way, which was a very obvious loophole, but he was careless. As soon as the explosion stopped, Azig was about to order his soldiers to retreat immediately. There was a burst of rolling thunder overhead, and then fireworks exploded overhead, even denser than before. The four Azig father and son were not pardoned because of their status, and an airburst bomb exploded right above their heads. The four fathers and sons, in addition to Azig, had a breath, the eldest son Hedu, the second son Lehe, and the third son Lou Qin were all killed together with the horses that sat down. Most of the soldiers around them were also killed, and the soldiers who were not dead came to see that there was no shrapnel or blood on Azig's body, and the blood stains were all someone else's, but soon Azig's mouth, nose, ears and even eyes were bleeding, and he immediately lost his breath. Azig was killed by a shell.

The undead soldiers didn't care about anything, and ran back with the bodies of Azig and his son on their horses.

The cavalry on this hillside land went through a burst of ** bombing, and after a round of air-burst shells and two rounds of ordinary artillery shells, there was no chance of injury. The cavalry, who did not come in behind, saw the corpses of Azig father and son, and the other generals did not return, so they hesitated for a moment and began to run back. But the road was blocked by the forward procession, and they were huddled together. At this time, the kiln sappers who were ambushing on the side of the road received instructions from the pilot of the delta wing in the sky and detonated the remote control ** on the road. A series of ** will be crowded on the road and the cavalry will be blown up and shouted dad and mother.

These cavalrymen are so depressed! Before the battle was fought, they suffered countless casualties, and what was even more infuriating was that they didn't know who killed so many of them, and they didn't see a single kiln man at all. These cavalrymen who were not killed by the bombing and could escape, whether they were the cavalry of the Han Army or the cavalry of the Eight Banners, were all the same, rushing back. The long fleeing procession was seen very clearly by the triangular wing flying in the sky, but he felt strange, and after returning the position where the cavalry had fled, the long-range artillery of the kiln did not fire again.

After a while he understood that the fleeing cavalry was like a river, and this time suddenly encountered a. The dam forcibly blocked the river.

It turned out that the cavalry and mechanized regiments that were surrounded by a roundabout way established a defensive line on the retreat of these fleeing cavalry. The sudden distraction of light and heavy machine gun automatic rifles, as well as the bullets of the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun with incredible power, knocked the fleeing cavalry off their horses a lot. The fleeing cavalry was stopped.

At this time, the 2nd Cavalry Division of the 1st Cavalry Army followed these fleeing cavalrymen and caught up.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners, which was blocked by the front and rear, were not reconciled, and they scattered and fled on both sides before the encirclement of the Yaogang people was formed. The terrain here is flat, and the cavalry is not very easy to catch. There was no way, and the cavalry of the Yaogang people had to be divided into countless squads and scattered and chased out. In such a battle, the Yaogang Mechanized Corps was the happiest, they drove four-wheel drive cars, set up 12.7 mm heavy machine guns and air-cooled heavy machine guns, chased after those cavalry, just like rabbits, the cavalry they were targeting in addition to dismounting and surrendering were captured by the Yaogang cavalry who followed their pursuit, then they were either torn apart by the 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, or killed by heavy machine guns.

When the Yaogang cavalry pursued the Mongol soldiers and the Han Eight Banner soldiers everywhere, they felt like hunting, but when they saw the Yaogang mechanical infantry, they felt that they were very bored. Now the car is four-wheel drive, the off-road is very good, these soldiers of the kiln gang mechanical corps sit in the car, chasing the cavalry on the grass, as if playing the war is simply infuriating. So they rode their horses and followed behind the cars, and they took prisoners of the cavalrymen who were chased by the cars and had nowhere to escape.

Lin Feng and the others fought very smoothly this way, but the only regret was that they were a little slower when they closed the siege at the last moment, and they did not completely annihilate this way. The angry Lin Feng scolded the second division of the first cavalry army that was pursuing later.

However, the division commander also felt that it was really a little wronged, because he was worried that the exposed target would be discovered by the Manchu and Han cavalry, their standby location was far away from the ambush site, and when the artillery was fired, they were worried about accidental injury, Lin Feng did not let them act in advance, they followed these Manchu and Han cavalry who escaped, it was already a little late, and when they were pursuing, they were crowded with Manchu and Han cavalry when they retreated, and they eliminated these cavalry, and it was even later to chase after the retreating cavalry. After the retreating cavalry was knocked down by the rain of bullets intercepted in front, they scattered on both sides and fled, and the cavalry of the Second Division of the First Army pursuing behind had no choice but to pursue and capture prisoners. If the battle is such a chaotic battle, it is impossible to annihilate them all. As a result, more than 1,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners and more than 3,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners of Han fled back. Only more than 500 cavalrymen were taken prisoner, and more than 7,500 were killed. More than 8,000 of the Han army's Red Banner cavalry were captured and more than 9,000 were killed.

Due to the late day, the battlefields on the North Road and the East Road could only be cleaned the next day, and the results of the battle were not counted until the next day. However, except for the team that stayed to clean the battlefield, and cleaned the battlefield while complaining, the other armies were rearranged. As soon as the army besieging Tashan, Xingshan, and Daxingbao (Daxingbao in Montenegro) began a real offensive as soon as dawn.

It turned out that in order to contain the opponent, Jiang Ping ordered to besiege these three local armies, and the battle should be really fought but not allowed to be captured, so that Dolgon felt that there was still hope for holding on, so the army besieging Tashan, Xingshan, and Daxingbao (Daxingbao in Montenegro) every day was also rumbling with artillery, but they were all attacked, and when the defenders shot down bows and arrows and artillery fire, they immediately retreated. The defenders also felt that the Yaogang people were just like that, and they became more and more brave the more they fought. Although Dolgon initially felt that there was a problem with whether these places had not been captured, because the Kiln Gang people had always been invincible, he preferred to believe that his army was still fighting when it was really desperate. That's why there was a plan to send troops to raid the periphery of Daxingbao.

But today, when the Yaogang army really attacked these three places, the defenders felt different. In fact, even with such an attack, the kiln gang people did not use all their strength. They wanted to preserve the fortifications as intact as possible, so they did not bombard the city wall with cannons, but drove directly in front of the city gate with a gun cart, blasted the city gate open with the 65 mm cannon on the gun carriage, and blasted the stuff behind the city gate, and drove the gun cart into the city from the city gate. Mortars and heavy machine guns outside the city suppressed the defenders, and the infantry followed the artillery wagons into the city. After entering the city, facing those soldiers armed with broadswords and spears, it was a one-sided slaughter. At this time, the defenders in the cities of Tashan, Xingshan, and Daxingbao (Daxingbao in Montenegro) knew that the Yaogang people were playing with them outside the city two days ago.

The three places of Tashan, Xingshan, and Daxingbao (Daxingbao in Montenegro) are almost like this, and they were captured in half a day. In the three places, the defenders were almost seven or eight thousand Manchu and Han soldiers, and the defenders of these three basically killed half and surrendered. In the end, a total of more than 3,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners and more than 8,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were captured.

For this result, Jiang Jian and Lin Feng were very satisfied. They immediately reported the battle report to the Yaogang Command Center. The Yaogang Command Center was also very satisfied with their progress, and sent a telegram to reward and encourage them.

But Dolgon in Jinzhou City is now worried, since he got the news that the cavalry of the two raids was completely defeated, Dolgon got up from his seat, did not say a word, retreated to the back tent and never came out. Someone came to report to them that Tashan, Xingshan, and Daxingbao (Daxingbao in Montenegro) had been lost, and Dolgon did not show up. The Baylors who had gone out with the army did not see Dolgon, and they stamped their feet one by one, grieving for the military defeat and the death of Azig, and worrying about not knowing the safety of Shengjing. Azig is a figure whose status is second only to the four Baylors, and he didn't expect to die here along with his three sons. Sheng Jing found the Yaogang people, and that was aimed at the heart of their capital, where there was really a void. They can't help but be worried.

The Baylors were anxious to rebel, but Dorgon never came out. It wasn't until Hong Chengchou asked to see him in the evening that Dolgon finally showed up.
