Chapter 852: A Little Thought
The guards could not get up to the walls in the face of the steel storm at the head of the city, but the Wehrmacht outside the palace was constantly approaching the walls. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although grenades were constantly falling and exploding around them, there were too many places outside the city to rush to the city gates, and the Wehrmacht had a large number of troops.
In less than two minutes, the attacking troops piled up dozens of explosive packs in the city gate.
"Boom ......" sounded in the city gate cave with a earth-shaking explosion, and the city wall with a height of more than ten meters was directly trampled on.
Flying rubble, the goddess scattered flowers around the surroundings. At least 100 soldiers of the guards behind the city gate cave were buried by these rubble, and they died.
"It's not good, the city gate has been blown up, the Wehrmacht will definitely attack from the city gate, everyone go to the city gate, we must plug the gap and prevent the Wehrmacht from rushing in!" Zaitao, who was shocked, ordered loudly.
Immediately, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Guards rushed towards the city gate with their weapons.
Gao Jun, the commander of the 11th Division, had obviously realized this for a long time, and as soon as the city wall at the city gate was trampled, dozens of mortars opened fire on the back of the gap, and round after round of shells continued to smash behind the gap, forming a belt of firepower.
The Guards who rushed over had to rush through this belt of fire to reach the gap and block the Wehrmacht who wanted to use the gap as a breakthrough point.
In the end, more than 1,000 guards rushed through the artillery fire and intercepted less than 500 people.
Outside the palace, two or three hundred Wehrmacht men also rushed over.
Faced with the gap that was still shrouded in gunsmoke in front of him and could not see his five fingers, neither the Wehrmacht nor the Guards who rushed over rushed directly to the gap.
Take out the grenade first, regardless of whether the gap is occupied by the opponent or not, and throw two grenades first.
Wait for the grenade to explode, then rush towards the gap with the rifle.
In the violent explosion, the two troops were like two combat vehicles, slamming into each other in the gap.
Seven or eight hundred men on both sides fought together with bayonets and by the most primitive means.
In the blink of an eye, all that remained in the gap was the metal clash of bayonets and bayonets, the screams and curses of soldiers......
Because the Pro-Guard forces had a superiority in strength, the Wehrmacht suffered heavy losses when they first came into contact.
The Wehrmacht, who had rushed up to the gap, quickly reacted, and the officer armed with a pistol pulled out his pistol and beckoned to the other party.
Amid the scattered gunfire, the Wehrmacht finally saved the defeat.
In addition, the Wehrmacht continued to rush into the gap outside the palace, making up for their lack of troops.
Little by little, the Wehrmacht, which had the advantage in strength, directly inflicted heavy losses on the Pro-Guard Army, and retreated one after another.
Soon, the entire gap fell completely into the hands of the Wehrmacht.
Seeing that a mass of people had already entered the gap, they rushed into the palace. Gao Jun immediately ordered that the battlefield was already on standby, and the second regiment went to the gap to kill. As long as one regiment of troops rushes into the palace, there is no problem at all in taking the palace.
At this time, the sound of grenade explosions on the city had slowly stopped, and although there were still more than a thousand people in their hands, Zaitao at this time had no idea of ordering them to continue to fight on the city wall.
The Wehrmacht continued to enter the palace through the gaps, and even if they were on the walls, it would be meaningless.
As the commander of the forbidden army, Zaitao realized in an instant that he had lost again, and this defeat was nothing, and he lost all the capital to turn defeat into victory.
Zaitao stared at the gap with a gloomy face, and when he didn't say a word for a long time, the commander of the pro-guard army next to him couldn't wait, and watched more and more Wehrmacht troops outside rush into the palace, and asked with an anxious face.
"Lord Wang, the Wehrmacht has come in, how should we fight next!"
Zaitao replied with a desperate face: "There are more than 1,000 people left, and this king has no choice!" Ordered the brothers to fight with the Wehrmacht, and if they could kill every enemy, they would kill one. I won't say much if the brothers who want to survive surrender to the Wehrmacht, after all, there is no hope of winning if they hold on! ”
"What about the emperor? What should the emperor do? The Commander continued, his face filled with despair and bitterness.
"The palace is already surrounded by the Wehrmacht, and we can't stop the Wehrmacht attack. Only by surrendering can the emperor save his life, and the Qing Dynasty will have hope of recovering the country in the future! ”
After finishing speaking, Zaitao directly ordered his subordinates: "Where to go, you decide for yourself." This king will go to see the emperor now, we lost this battle, the Han people have a saying, stay in the green mountains and are not afraid of no firewood, as long as people live there is hope. Therefore, in the face of the Wehrmacht offensive, we can only surrender, not resist! ”
Fu Yi, together with more than 300 imperial relatives and important ministers of the imperial court, faced with the rifles and light machine guns held by the Wehrmacht, without the persuasion of Zaitao, they were directly frightened and their legs weakened.
"Division commander, good news, the little emperor, as well as all the imperial relatives and important ministers of the imperial court have surrendered. They did not resist, and as soon as we stormed the palace they were so frightened that they fell to their knees and surrendered! There is no spine at all. ”
As soon as the head of the second regiment rushed out of the palace with excitement on his face, he reported the great news to Gao Jun.
After Gao Jun subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, a thick smile appeared on his face, and he replied very happily: "Okay, from now on, the palace and all the prisoners in the palace will be handed over to you, I will immediately go out of the city to report to the military commander, this news is too important, I must report to the military commander in person!" ”
"Also, from now on, the palace will be blocked, and no one will be able to leak the news of the capture of the little emperor without my order."
The news that Li Zhilong had taken the capital was soon sent to Yang Xingguo.
Chief of Staff Sun Liechen said very happily: "Marshal, now that the overall situation of our overthrow of the imperial court has been decided, the remaining guard division will go straight to the base camp of the Beiyang Army and force Yuan Shikai back to Shandong, and then the First Army will take the opportunity to take the main force of the forbidden army and capture all of them, and our goal in this battle will be achieved!" ”
"This goal can definitely be achieved!" Yang Xingguo replied very confidently without thinking about it.
Then stared at Sun Liechen, first raised the telegram in his hand, and finally asked thoughtlessly: "Judging from the telegram, Li Zhilong picked up a big bargain this time, and took the capital without too many losses." Since the capital is already ours, is it a bit of a waste to leave more than 20,000 people of the Fourth Army in the capital? ”
"Dashuai, do you have a new idea again!" Sun Liechen's eyes quickly shot out two scorching gazes, and then stared at Yang Xingguo and asked.
"It's a little idea!" Yang Xingguo did not deny it.
"We and Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army will inevitably have a battle in the future. My idea is, can we seize this opportunity to weaken the strength of the Beiyang Army as much as possible! ”
"If we can really achieve this goal, the decisive battle in the future will definitely be very beneficial to us!" (To be continued.) )
