Chapter 502: Taiyuan Armageddon 13
After Sun Chuanfang verified the news, he immediately sent Lu Zhonglin and other troops to help, Lu Zhonglin thought about it again and again, knowing that the siege was full of casualties, and he didn't want to go now, but considering that if the national army faction did not take the lead from him, it would definitely become cannon fodder for others to make meritorious contributions. Pinshu.com Tens of thousands of troops arrived under Taiyuan City, the situation in Taiyuan City further deteriorated, Xu Yongchang tried his best to fight with Lu Zhonglin, Li Shengchun and others outside the city, but this situation is only temporary, the other party did not hesitate to kill the light and dark barriers outside the city, Taiyuan City has no danger to defend, but with the strong city wall, it may be able to support for several months in the era of cold weapons, consuming the morale of the besieging party, but in today's era, the artillery is sharp, and the explosives are dangerous, if Sun Chuanfang does not hesitate to use ammunition, It's still easy to break through the city.
"My lord, there is something wrong with the people in the city!"
After Chang Zhenbang heard the report, he was not surprised, the common people are like the existence of a snake class under the grass, a little wind and grass, that is, panic, it is not easy to persist until now. However, it is not easy to return, as the supreme commander of the defending side, he still has to find a way to suppress this movement, he glanced at the herald and said: "Inform all layers of armor, let them do their best, and be sure to hold out for ten days and a half months." At the same time, the garrison was ordered to patrol the streets, but if there was any abnormal movement, they would not be killed. ”
"Yes, Govern!"
After the herald went down. Chang Zhenbang continued to talk and laugh with the officers and soldiers of the Air Force who were transferred, and Xiao Chaofan, the captain of the Air Force, asked for his life: "My lord's war is tense, and I and other Air Force officers and soldiers were ordered to come to help. ”
"Captain Xiao, I understand what you mean, but you don't understand my thoughts." Chang Zhenbang said: "Your air force is the key to the victory of our Central Army in the Taiyuan War, the so-called good steel should be used on the blade, how can you be allowed to fight easily?" ”
Xiao Chaofan said: "Now that the soldiers are besieging the city, it is where the officers and soldiers of our air force will be used, if the city is broken." Our air force only has the role of escorting you out of Taiyuan, and I hope that your lordship will know it. ”
Chang Zhenbang glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if this ruling party wants to leave Taiyuan by plane, it will be a big victory, and you will never let your air force not fire a single shot, leaving behind the crime of escaping with a sharp weapon." ”
Xiao Chaofan saw that Chang Zhenbang had said it to such a point, so he had to smile, turned around and continued to introduce the officers and soldiers of the accompanying Air Force to Chang Zhenbang, Chang Zhenbang also followed him and laughed, and did not take what he just said seriously.
Looking at the tide of the new army, although Xu Yongchang commanded Ruoding, but the soldiers defending the city could not help but be a little nervous, hot soup, boulders, and ammunition were used like water, causing huge casualties to the new army, so that Li Shengchun couldn't help but feel distressed, just when he was going to temporarily withdraw the army and fight again in the coming day, Lu Zhonglin's army came at this time, and the generals of those national army factions saw that their side was attacking fiercely, and some people repeatedly rushed to the city to fight with the central army. The generals of the Nationalist Army faction couldn't help but feel hot in their hearts, this Li Chunsheng was too conservative in the war and went to the city, if it was replaced by the Nationalist Army's life and death, wouldn't this Taiyuan City be taken down immediately? Thinking of this, the generals of the National Army suddenly taught Lu Zhonglin that he could only fight a small battle, and ordered to set up an escalator for a large army, just like the virtue of Feng Yuxiang when he was there, perhaps in the eyes of most of the National Army, the soldiers are valuable, but the merit is even more rare, after all, people can be found again when they die, China has a lot of land and resources, and there are no three-legged toads, and there are more two-legged people.
The Nationalist Army's way of filling with human lives greatly shocked Li Shengchun, but it did not give him the opportunity to withdraw his troops. But there is nothing to do, he also saw the situation in Taiyuan City from the telescope, it really makes people can't help but go to ask for the battle, but is this really the case? I'm afraid that it may not be, you must know the height of the Taiyuan city wall, that is, the height of a platoon if you knock down the escalator, but the central army on the head of the city is fully manned, but they are not so, and even pour a pot of hot soup for a long time, and all the new troops on the escalator are scalded, and they are not pushed to the escalator, leaving hope for the new army behind, and so on, the casualties of the national army will rise in a straight line.
"Senator Li, it's a bit unkind for you to do this!"
Lu Zhonglin said coldly.
Li Shengchun said disapprovingly: "Lu Dashuai's words are wrong, and it is not easy for the brothers, breaking the barriers outside the city, and attacking Taiyuan City for half a day, it is always appropriate to eat and rest for a while." ”
Lu Zhonglin said: "Your people are down, you can't let my people fill the pit!" ”
Li Shengchun said: "Although my people have come down, those people in the National Army are not picked up by me!" ”
"Colleagues, you should always give them a heads-up!"
Lu Zhonglin couldn't help but complain.
Li Shengchun spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's not that brothers don't think about their colleagues, it's just that those brothers in the national army don't listen to advice, but think that their brothers don't let them make meritorious contributions, and brothers are really helpless." ”
Lu Zhonglin sighed and said, "These people are so reckless and destined to suffer a big loss, it seems that this great achievement in breaking Taiyuan will be hung on the head of the elder brother." ”
Li Shengchun said with a straight face: "Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, whether you can capture Taiyuan depends on whether God can complete it, but even if you capture Taiyuan, the merit of greedy heaven is definitely not something that the next person can do, and I am willing to share weal and woe with Lu Dashuai!" ”
Lu Zhonglin said lightly: "My brother is so humble and careful, his future is limitless. ”
"To do your duty for the Generalissimo is to do your duty! The future is not a matter of brotherly concern, as long as the brother does what he should do, the generalissimo will never be disadvantaged! Li Shengchun said.
Lu Zhonglin glanced at him, and turned his gaze to Taiyuan City again, and what introduced his eyes was stupidity in addition to the word miserable, the national army's impulse to prove itself and the ambition to make meritorious achievements alternated like two knives and saws, and the lives of the soldiers dissipated in this way.
Wen Chenglie ran over and said, "Dashuai, the brothers in front are in a hurry, please give the order to attack on all fronts!" ”
Lu Zhonglin glanced at him and said, "Attack on all fronts?" ”
Wen Chenglie was taken aback and said: "The situation is very good, it is a good time to go down, what else do you have to hesitate about?" ”
"Should I strike?" Lu Zhonglin put aside Wen Chenglie and asked Li Shengchun directly.
Li Shengchun said: "The handsome matter has come to this, what other way do you have?" ”
"That's right!" Lu Zhonglin smiled bitterly: "Since it's on the table, it's either full of bowls or pants, and I can't help it." Wen Chenglie! ”
"The subordinates are here!"
"Attack on all fronts!"
"Yes!"
Wen Chenglie went happily and cheered.
"Senator Lee!"
"What do you command?"
"I hope the artillery team will cooperate!"
"You don't need to be ordered by the marshal, this is the unshirkable responsibility of Shengchun!"
With the new army once again investing three or four divisions, this time Taiyuan City's defense was even more stretched. Xu Yongchang while arming the defense, while asking people to find Lin Yan, when he saw Lin Yan looking like a bloody battle, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but now is not the time to sigh, he said bluntly: "General Lin, can Taiyuan hold I can't pack a ticket for adults, it's not that I, Xu someone, don't work hard, what's the situation here, the adults have also seen it with their own eyes, and I hope you go back to meet Chang when he is in power, tell the truth, and ask him to send troops to reinforcements after the old man leaves Taiyuan!" ”
Lin Yan wiped the blood on his head, I don't know if it was his or splashed, and said slowly: "Chang is wise and wise, there will be no solution, go now, Commander Xu must not be irritable, concentrate on defending the city, maybe this is the opportunity for our army to win a big victory." ”
Xu Yongchang smiled bitterly, but he didn't say anything, what is there to say? The soldier takes obedience as his duty, and he is ashamed to escape from the battle, and he is a general in Shanxi, Chang Zhenbang is not ashamed, but he is married to Jin Lan with him, and he only has the intention to repay him.
After Lin Yan said goodbye to Xu Yongchang, he rode a fast horse through the deserted streets and went straight to the Overseer's Mansion, but he pounced, and after asking about the situation, he ran to the entrance of the school without stopping. But seeing Chang Zhenbang looking at him with a smile, he was a little surprised, and said in his heart, maybe he didn't even expect this, sure enough, after he got off the horse, Chang Zhenbang turned his head and said to Xiao Chaofan: "Captain Xiao, how are the preparations of the Quartermaster Department, have they embarrassed you?" ”
"How dare these people be embarrassed about the things that the ruling government personally asked?"
"In that case, the rest will depend on our Air Force brothers."
"Yes, Govern!"
Xiao Chaofan turned around and went, after a while, the engine vibrate, more than ten planes roared away in the air, Lin Yan was very shocked, and after a while, the plane came to the outside of Taiyuan City, where have the new army below seen such a scene, in their eyes, these iron birds are the existence of ghosts, ghosts and gods, and they want to take people's lives and hook people's souls. A large number of kneeling down and praying, but saw those iron birds emitting countless droplets, the smell was a little like gasoline, but there was no other harm, so they trembled and stood up, who knew that there were more and more water, in the midst of the artillery fire, in less than a moment, Taiyuan City became a sea of fire, Xu Yongchang saw such a scene was also stunned, I didn't expect Chang Zhenbang to think of this trick, his ears were full of wailing, his eyes were full of fire, those who rushed to the city saw this, and they knelt down and surrendered, Although the defenders of the city hated these people, they saw a fire outside the city, and it became a human meat barbecue competition.
Xu Yongchang couldn't help but worry about Chang Zhenbang, and this would inevitably hurt Tianhe.
At this time, Lin Yan came out and shouted loudly: "Commander Xu, open the city gate quickly, brothers can go out of the city to fight!" ”
Xu Yongchang hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened, and before the city gate was opened, the cavalry troops of the Central Army rushed over like lightning and thunder, almost sweeping the entire battlefield of fire with an invincible momentum.
Lu Zhonglin, Li Shengchun couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the battlefield on fire, before they could react, the battlefield had become a sea of fire, and the army could not be treated no matter what, so they had to discuss the matter of retreating, who knew that the cavalry troops of the Central Army took advantage of the situation and did not give them any room for relaxation. The Restoration Army was defeated.
"Kill!"
The cavalry of the Central Army roared and rushed over.
Lu Zhonglin, after Li Shengchun's army was defeated, without their cover, the artillery units behind were suddenly exposed to the field of vision of the cavalry, a charge passed, and the artillery units rushed to collapse, and they were seen to have powerful artillery fire but after the short encounter, they were not the opponents of the cavalry units of the Central Army at all, it could be said that it was a one-sided massacre, and those artillery units surrendered one after another. It was then taken over by the infantry who followed behind the cavalry unit.
After the cavalry passed through the artillery camp, it went straight to Sun Chuanfang's base camp with the rout, Sun Chuanfang commanded Ruoding, and finally defeated the attack of the cavalry of the Central Army, and after collecting the remnants, retreated to Luliang, on the way the Shanxi generals left one after another and returned to Chang Zhenbang. Sun Chuanfang saw that he couldn't do anything, and knew that Shanxi couldn't take it back, so he returned to Shaanxi from Luliang.
After the victory in Taiyuan, Chen Jiongming and Kong Geng took the opportunity to send troops to the south and north of Jin, and everywhere they went, they all surrendered, and in less than three days, the whole territory of Shanxi was recovered.
