Chapter 490: The Battle of East China VI
Hiding under the wall of the city, Zhang Tingshu put the submachine gun in his arms to the side, and the whole person leaned against the city wall and began to continue to rest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In front of them there was also a rampart about a meter high.
At such an angle, no matter how fierce and accurate the shelling outside the city was, it was impossible to inflict damage on Zhang Tingshu and them, who were hiding under the city wall, at such an angle.
Unless the shells of the enemy forces outside the city are not shells, but missiles with automatic guidance.
Of course, not all of them went down to the base of the wall, and a few soldiers risked their lives to stay at the top of the city as a warning.
:Pig:Pig:Island:Novel 3w.Zhang Tingshu Not long after they hid at the base of the wall, another wave of cannonballs whistled and flew down on the city wall.
This time the accuracy was much stronger than the last time, and the blast wave generated by the cannonballs falling on the city made the defenders hiding under the base of the city faintly feel the wall behind them shaking.
From time to time, gravel and earth chips flew down from above, falling on the steel helmets of officers and men with a thumping sound.
However, the shelling did not last long, and after only ten rounds of shelling, it began to extend.
It can be seen that there are not many shells in Yu Xuezhong's hands, after all, Zhang Shaoshuai, who is in a corner of Qingdao, is not as good as Zhang Xinghan, who has a big business today.
The limited military spending cannot be used entirely to purchase artillery shells.
As soon as the artillery fire began to extend, Zhang Tingshu stood up and waved his submachine gun: "Brothers, the Qingdao Army's three-plate axe is finished, it's time for us to go up and send them some bullets for a feast, follow me!" ”
With that, he took the lead and rushed out of the wall and towards the city wall.
More than 200 officers and soldiers followed.
Outside the city, Yu Xuezhong immediately ordered the troops to attack after the artillery bombardment was over.
A large number of Qingdao troops who were on standby suddenly swarmed out like a flood that burst the embankment and launched a charge on the city wall.
The artillery bombardment on our side just now really boosted their morale.
Thereupon. Yu Xuezhong gave an order, and immediately launched an attack with a overwhelming shout of killing, sweeping away the sluggishness of the frustration of the attack just now.
Zhang Tingshu led the officers and soldiers back to the city wall, at this time the smoke on the city had not completely dissipated, they quickly entered their respective positions with their waists bent, raised the steel guns and stretched out of the battlements, and the black muzzles were aimed at the outside of the city.
In just a few minutes, the attacking side was within range of the defenders' machine guns, and more than a dozen MG34 general-purpose machine guns were the first to roar.
This was followed by a large number of semi-automatic rifles and some MP38 submachine guns, forming a dense network of firepower.
The Qingdao army, which was shouting and charging, suddenly fell in pieces.
Yu Xuezhong, who supervised the battle in the rear, saw this. His eyes couldn't help but tighten suddenly, and he said secretly: The defenders are really difficult to deal with, and the shelling that almost half of his ammunition reserves were used up just now did not seem to have achieved the expected effect.
As the distance of the charge approached, large grenades began to fly from the walls.
The sound of explosions and gunfire outside the city were intertwined, and countless Qingdao troops fell down miserably.
………………
More than four hours later, Yu Xuezhong still failed to attack the county town of Jiaozhou, which was defended by only more than 1,000 people.
In addition, more than a dozen planes of the Northeast Air Force arrived later, and they fiercely bombed and strafed the Qingdao military position.
In view of the heavy casualties among his subordinates. Yu Xuezhong then ordered the troops to suspend the attack.
Not long after, Zhang Tingshu's follow-up 8,000 troops arrived one after another, easily defeated the attacking troops of Yu Xuezhong's troops in the west of the city, and entered the county seat of Jiaozhou.
Yu Xuezhong was under pressure. While sending a telegram to Zhang Xueliang to complain about the emergency, he led his troops to switch from attack to defense on the spot.
At the same time, Zhang Xinghan also led an army of 6,000 from Weifang to Gaomi, and under the cover of the air force, he immediately launched an attack on Liu Duoquan's troops.
The battle in Gaomi County is raging. Fierce battles are raging.
In Qingdao, the young marshal's mansion has fallen into chaos, and a large number of subordinates are busy cleaning up. Prepare to escape.
And Zhang Shaoshuai, as the master, had already escorted Miss Zhao Si to board a warship with the guards.
After all the important institutions and arsenals in the city were on board, they were ready to run away from the sea.
As the commander of the navy, Shen Honglie naturally would not stay in the city.
He was accompanying Zhang Shaoshuai to stand on the deck of the warship and look at the busy Qingdao wharf.
While the two were chatting about the way out after arriving in Shanghai, Adjutant Chen Dazhang took a telegram and boarded the deck and came to them.
Saluted: "Young marshal, Yu Xuezhong, and Liu Duoquan have sent urgent telegrams.
The former stormed Jiaozhou, and now a large number of rebel reinforcements have arrived in the direction of Linyi, and the battle plan to recapture Jiaozhou is no longer possible.
In the direction of Gaomi, the rebels from Weifang have also arrived and launched a fierce attack on Gaomi County.
The situation of the second department is critical, and you urgently need to send reinforcements from the young marshal. ”
After Zhang Xueliang listened, the gloom between his eyebrows was a little heavier, and he didn't answer first, but asked Shen Honglie instead: "Chengzhang, how long do we need to go?" ”
Shen Honglie replied: "It will take at least evening to complete all the loading." ”
Zhang Shaoshuai nodded, and immediately instructed Chen Dazhang: "Immediately send a telegram to Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan, and all the more than 10,000 troops in Qingdao city will be transferred to them, and order them to hold on until six o'clock in the evening, and after six o'clock, they can break through to the south on their own, settle down in Xuzhou, and then wait for orders on the spot." ”
Chen Dazhang answered and took the order.
Zhang Shaoshuai was in a bad mood and returned to the cabin to find Miss Zhao Si.
Although Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan may not be able to defeat these two northeastern rebels, with their strength of more than 30,000 people, there should be no problem in holding out until the evening, right?
Everything was arranged just right, but Zhang Shaoshuai was still a little depressed because he was about to be forced to give up the only foothold in the business for several years, and when he arrived at the cabin, he threw Miss Zhao Si, who was sorting out her clothes, on the bed.
lifted her cheongsam, turned her hand along her smooth white and round thighs, covered her plump breasts, and kneaded them wantonly through her underwear.
It didn't take long for Xiao Liuzi, who was already a little anxious to breathe, couldn't wait to break the two slender legs of the beauty under him, and pushed forward and entered.
Miss Zhao Si's slightly flushed face appeared with an expression that she didn't know whether it was pain or comfort, her eyebrows first frowned, and then she stretched out, and the cherry mouth couldn't help but let out a somewhat suppressed gasping voice:
"Hmm... Huh... Ahhh Woo... Han Qing, you tap ......"
The indulgent Young Marshal Zhang seemed to have forgotten one thing, that is, why Zhang Xinghan's air force was so powerful and repeatedly participated in wars in various places, why he alone did not bomb the naval base in Qingdao.
To say that he is carrying out a major relocation in Qingdao and is preparing to evacuate by warship, no matter how secret he is, if there is a reconnaissance plane of the Northeast Army Air Force flying over to reconnoitre.
It will also be leaked.
However, the Northeast Air Force, which was wreaking havoc in the skies over East China, did not even enter the skies over Qingdao.
………………
Gaomi County, Liu Duoquan's headquarters.
Holding the call back order from Zhang Shaoshuai in his hand, Liu Duoquan sat there without saying a word as if he was petrified.
After a long time, he slowly said secretly: The young marshal wants us to be a shield and a substitute for the dead.
Anyway, Liu Fangbo is deeply favored by the Zhang family, and he can't repay it, so he will lead his troops to fight to the death today to buy the last time for the young marshal you.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
A communications soldier hurriedly entered from the outside and saluted Liu Duoquan: "Sir, General Yu Xuezhong is here." ”
"Oh?" Liu Duoquan was still surprised, and Yu Xuezhong had already walked in from outside.
Liu Duoquan asked in surprise: "Brother Xiaohou, you are not on the front line in Jiaozhou, why did you come back?" ”
Yu Xuezhong didn't answer, but said to Liu Duoquan: "Brother Fangbo, the young marshal and Shen Honglie have boarded the ship, and they will be evacuated to Shanghai by boat after dark at the latest, you know all about this, right?" ”
Liu Duoquan raised the telegram in his hand and said, "The young marshal's telegram, you won't fail to receive it, right?" ”
Yu Xuezhong glanced at the telegram in his hand and said, "Received, the reason why I hurriedly returned to Gaomi is that I came to you to discuss countermeasures for the life and death of our more than 30,000 brothers. ”
Liu Duoquan said lukewarmly: "I don't know what Brother Xiaohou has planned?" ”
Yu Xuezhong said: "The young marshal asked us to hold on until six o'clock in the evening, there should be no problem, but how should we break through after six o'clock, Brother Fangbo have you thought about it." ”
Seeing that Yu Xuezhong did not immediately break through and flee in his words, and did not obey the meaning of Young Marshal Zhang's military orders, Liu Duoquan felt a little relieved and shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Yu Xuezhong continued: "So, I think we have to make a breakthrough plan in advance, otherwise once we are close to a hasty retreat and break through, it is likely to lead to a complete rout of the troops, and the consequences will be unimaginable at that time." ”
Liu Duoquan nodded approvingly and said, "I don't know Brother Xiaohou, do you have any good plans?" ”
"Coupled with the troops transferred by the young marshal from Qingdao, the number of troops in our hands now exceeds 30,000, and so many troops must not retreat in the same direction at the same time.
Otherwise, it will be easy to be caught up and defeated by the Northeast Army.
I think we have to disperse the breakout. With that, Yu Xuezhong walked straight towards the map hanging on the wall.
………………
Outside Gaomi City, the headquarters of the Northeast Army.
Zhang Xinghan stood in front of the map, smoking a cigarette with every puff.
Outside the headquarters, the sound of gunfire, shouting and explosions was intertwined, and the sky was boiling.
The headquarters seemed to be unusually silent, Guo Zhong stood aside, Liu Jianguo went to the front to supervise the battle, leaving only Zhang Xinghan to meditate in front of the map.
Not long after, Liu Jianguo walked in from the outside.
Zhang Xinghan glanced up at him and asked, "Jianguo, how about the attack?" ”
Liu Jianguo said with some shame: "The first wave of attacks failed, and the second attack is currently being organized." ”
Zhang Xinghan nodded noncommittally, and his eyes continued to focus on the map in front of him.
Seeing this, Liu Jianguo stepped forward and asked, "Boss, what are you thinking about?" ”
Zhang Xinghan didn't look up, and said, "I'm thinking, how to annihilate these tens of thousands of Qingdao troops." (To be continued......)
