Chapter 209: The Battle of Shanghai (3)
The Huai army Guo Songlin and Wu Changqing were in full advance, and both of them were very happy, and the troops of both sides could almost see each other's positions, and strengthened their ties with each other, and they were only ten miles away from Shanghai County and the concession. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It was almost the outer edge of the ten-mile ocean field in the 20th century.
Of course, at this time, the public concession was only one-tenth of the later one-tenth, and the French concession was only one-seventeenth of the later one-seventeenth.
"Brother Zimei, I didn't expect us to advance so fast." Wu Changqing took the soldiers and horses to the front line and came to Jiangqiao Town to greet Guo Songlin, Guo Songlin also said with emotion:
"Brother Xiaoxuan, the New People's Army retreated twenty miles in a row, which is also my expectation? You must know that the Knife Society was defeated and retreated so quickly, but it took them 19 months to be wiped out, and it took 8 months to advance to our current feet. ”
This can only show that Yang Dongfang's elite is lost, he only brought a thousand cavalry, even if the musket is sharp, it is not enough to make up for the disadvantage in numbers, and those recruits only vote for money, and he may not be desperate. And I heard that the French army was far inferior to us, and Yang Dongfang personally sat in the northeast to fight against the red hair. ”
Guo Songlin was slightly worried: "Having said that, we still have to be cautious, for fear that he will fight with us in the concession and the county seat, and the concession is much more difficult to fight than the county seat." ”
"That's a mistake!" Wu Changqing touched the eight-character nonsense and smiled: "Brother Zimei, the concession is the concession of foreigners, it doesn't matter how long Yang Dongfang spends in it." As long as you are crushed inside, it's better to let the foreigners fight hard here, after all, don't the French have an army of 10,000? When two tigers fight, there is always an injury. ”
"Reasonable! Xiao Xuan is right! In this way, we still take Shanghai County first. Guo Songlin's eyes flashed with a gleam, and Wu Changqing and Wu Changqing were both old foxes, looking at each other and smiling.
The concession has nothing to do with them in the end anyway, they won't make a big effort for a piece of meat that doesn't belong to them, as for killing Yang Dongfang, they don't have too much extravagant hope, with Yang Dongfang's ability to think of a thousand miles, this kind of thing can be encountered but not sought, to borrow the words of Buddhism, everything is fate.
When Wu Changqing and Guo Songlin wanted to adjust the focus of their attack to the south, they didn't know that a black hand was reaching out to them, and the two were talking happily, drinking wine and changing glasses.
Suddenly, there were gunshots in the town, and then more and more dense gunshots, the two immediately woke up, Guo Songlin shouted angrily: "What happened, how could there be such a dense gunshot, who didn't care about the guy in the hands of the master in the middle of the night." ”
According to the gun management system, if there is no war at night, bullets will not be distributed, and the Huai army is not very rich in ammunition, after all, it all depends on imports, and imports are expensive.
Guo Songlin's personal guards hurriedly ran out to understand the situation, and the two of them heard the sound of explosions in the room, and their faces turned from red to blue, especially Guo Songlin, who became more eccentric.
How could the sound of the explosion be so much like the place of the artillery team?
Sure enough, the guards panted and brought bad news: "My lord, it's not good, the New People's Army broke into the town and beat the soldiers of our army's night patrol suddenly, and then they captured General Huang Shen and killed the artillery team, and our artillery was just blown up. . . ”
Guo Songlin stood up and stared at the guards with cannibalistic eyes: "What? ”
As he spoke, he rushed out with his people, and sure enough, there was a burst of fire in the east, and then the gunfire not far away got closer and closer, and the sparks from the bullets sparked back and forth in the black night, like meteors flying by.
At this time, the generals under him rushed over one after another: "The military gate is leaving, the cavalry of the New People's Army suddenly appeared in the town, their cavalry rushed over, just now the artillery team was all slaughtered, and the military gate is leaving." ”
It was too late to say that it was too fast, and the sound of the horse's hooves came from far and near, and in an instant it rushed to this side, of course, the horse did not arrive before the stray bullet arrived, hitting the wooden door and the tiled earthen wall, and crackling.
Guo Songlin was pulled by his subordinates and ran, leaving his personal guards to block, the speed of the cavalry was too fast, and he came over at once, a few chops, and all the guards were killed.
At this time, Wu Changqing was unlucky, Tong Da didn't know Guo Songlin, and when he saw that the house was escaping in time, dozens of people hid in the courtyard, and one of them was wearing a second-grade official robe, mistakenly thinking that Guo Songlin was blocked.
Yu dismounted and fought on foot, opened fire to attack, quickly took the courtyard, and captured Wu Changqing.
After a while, Yang Dongfang also rushed over with a company of cavalry, and when he heard that Guo Songlin had been captured, he joined up and went out of Jiangqiao Town and walked in the direction of Shanghai County.
It wasn't until halfway that I found out that the person who was arrested was Wu Changqing, and the main owner didn't catch it, so he arrested another big man.
"Dashuai, do we want to kill again?" Tong Da didn't expect that he had caught a fake, and he was about to turn the horse's head and go back to make meritorious service again, but he was stopped by Yang Dongfang: "Forget it, without Guo Songlin, Wu Changqing is not bad, anyway, he can run the monk, but he can't run the temple." If you go back now, Guo Songlin must be prepared, didn't he throw himself into the net? This is better, originally we were going to go south and go back, but now that Lord Wu is here, we don't even have to fight. ”
Wu Changqing hung his head and was on horseback, jolting towards his own defense area, Yang Dongfang didn't say nonsense, just one word, let his subordinates surrender, and when he got to the south, he also thought about it almost, and slowly spit out: "Yang Dashuai can ask, you really have a thousand miles of witchcraft. No, is it immortal? ”
"Haha." Yang Dongfang didn't expect this thing to ask this, and replied with a laugh: "Didn't you taste it tonight?" ”
"Count me as a planter, and if I am an enemy of an immortal disciple, there is no reason to be invincible."
Wu Changqing then ordered all 3,000 of his men to surrender, and the New People's Army broke the siege to the south, but still stuck to the defensive line that had been withdrawn during the day, and still reduced its forces.
Originally, this time he wanted to capture Guo Songlin and directly let the 20,000 Wuyi troops surrender, so that he could fight directly with the French with peace of mind, after all, the Huai army is also Chinese and Han, and if he can kill less, he will kill less.
Following!
"What? Last night, the New People's Army attacked Jiangqiao Town, destroyed all the new artillery of the Huai Army, and almost captured General Guo Songlin. Li Weili was stunned, feeling incredible, he already felt bizarre enough about this expedition, as long as he withdrew from the New People's Army, anything bad would happen.
Major Green added: "Your Excellency Commander, although the New People's Army did not capture Guo Songlin, but captured another general of the Huai Army, Wu Changqing, this Wu Changqing is very weak, he actually directly ordered his subordinates to surrender to the New People's Army, so Guo Songlin informed us that he will take over the siege affairs in the south next, and I am afraid that there will not be enough manpower and firepower, and we must first break through the southern front and capture Shanghai County, so the battle in the past few days depends on us." ”
Li Weili heard that he was quite dissatisfied, and roared: "Bastard, he is making excuses, what is the lack of manpower, he has 20,000 people, plus the loss of several thousand people, isn't it enough to besiege the west and south, it is clear that he does not want to attack the New People's Army, and wants us to attack the concession alone." ”
"Your Excellency Commander is right, but we have no right to command them, and the real battle is up to us, so I suggest that we take some special approach."
"Special way, Green, do you have any good opinions." Li Willy didn't believe that Green's pig brain would have any good ideas, you must know that if it wasn't for the loss of Toulon in Vietnam at that time, why would the expeditionary force become what it is now. (To be continued.) )
