In order to solve the big trouble of the Liaodong Army in one fell swoop, Cixi also worked hard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The army of the five towns was directly transferred from the yamen of the southern governor's mansion to reinforce Fengtian.

Unbeknownst at all, Xu Shichang, who they had high hopes for, had become a prisoner of the Liaodong Army at this moment.

Because the special operations detachment attacked too fast all the way, it didn't give Xu Shichang any time to react. By the time Xu Shichang knew that he was surrounded and had no way to escape, the telegraph room in the front yard of the Governor's Mansion had been occupied by the Liaodong Army.

Therefore, until the surrender, except for the beginning of the battle, Xu Shichang sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai and the imperial court respectively, and in the following time, no matter how anxious Yuan Shikai and the imperial court were, and even took the initiative to send a telegram to Fengtian to inquire, there was no reply from the direction of Fengtian.

"What's the matter, could it be that the Beiyang Army in the five towns we arranged in Mukden was wiped out without even holding out for a day." Yuan Shikai's mansion in the capital, a staff member frowned and whispered.

Despite speaking in a low voice, Yuan Shikai still heard it. Without thinking about it, he retorted: "Absolutely impossible, not to mention the new army of the three towns expanded in Fengtian, even if Fengtian only has the fourth and fifth town armies, it is very difficult for the Liaodong Army of the two divisions to take Fengtian." Xu Shichang said on the telegram that the Liaodong Army was equipped with a large number of artillery, and most likely heavy artillery. There was no response from the radio, it must have been the Doge's Palace shelled, and the radio station was destroyed by artillery fire. ”

A few of the staff members who really can't think of any other explanation, although they don't believe that such a coincidence can happen in the world. But when they saw Yuan Shikai's increasingly gloomy face, they still suppressed their inner doubts and echoed them.

Although he said so, Yuan Shikai was not confused.

After thinking about it, he ordered to his staff: "No matter what the current situation in Fengtian is, we must know the situation of the battle in Fengtian as soon as possible, there are nearly half of the troops of our Beiyang Army, and there must be no accidents." You immediately send someone to bring the radio and hurry to Mukden to find out the situation! ”

After receiving the order to expand the army from the headquarters, Wang Hu did not stay in Mukden.

The regiment, which was to be reorganized into the 3rd Division, was left in Mukden to guard the prisoners, and when the chief of staff arrived, the troops were reorganized. Wang Hu directly took a guard regiment and a division, and marched to Tongliao in a hurry.

After Chaoyang was occupied by the Liaodong Army, the two shortcuts between the imperial court and Fengtian were directly cut off. As a result, the imperial court could only make a detour to Tongliao to contact Fengtian and send supplies to Fengtian.

As the last channel for the imperial court to contact Mukden, the imperial court attached great importance to the security of Tongliao.

Not only was the Beiyang New Army stationed in Tongliao, but also a patrol battalion composed of 3,000 Mongolian cavalry.

Although this patrol battalion was not equipped with any hot weapons, because the Mongols had lived on horseback since childhood, and were skilled in bows and horses, as long as they were allowed to rush into the position, what awaited the opponent would be a very bloody massacre.

Therefore, although these three thousand cavalry were not equipped with any hot weapons, no one dared to underestimate this cavalry.

Because of the existence of a large number of cavalry, Wang Hu brought nearly 10,000 elites were still on the way, and the Tongliao guards received the news.

"Cavalry is good for field assaults, not good at defending cities. My thoughts are. Through a quick assault of the cavalry, eat the vanguard battalion of the Liaodong Army, and give the Liaodong Army a dismount! A bold idea quickly popped into the guard's mind, and he spoke.

Compared with many Han generals in the imperial court, the Mongols who commanded the cavalry were obviously more murderous.

Without thinking about it, he received the order and said: "General, don't worry, I will definitely cut off all the heads of hundreds of people in the forward battalion of the Liaodong Army." ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the general to explain, he hurriedly left the general's mansion.

Wang Hu had heard of the Mongolian cavalry in Tongliao, because he had never fought with so many cavalrymen, and Wang Hu despised the cavalry that still used cold weapons. Although Wang Hu accepted the chief of staff's suggestion to strengthen the forward company into a forward battalion, he still did not attach too much importance to it.

The Mongol cavalry, lurking on the road that the Liaodong Army must pass, launched an attack when it was still a mile away from the forward battalion.

Because the cavalry assault speed was too fast, by the time the forward battalion found them, the 3,000 Mongolian cavalry had already formed a charging formation, successfully rushing to a position less than 400 meters away from the forward battalion, and the speed of the charge was getting faster and faster.

The commander of the forward battalion was promoted after three months of training at the Liaodong Military Academy, and in the face of the cavalry, he subconsciously thought of a sentence that the cavalry was afraid of light and heavy machine guns. As long as enough light and heavy machine guns are concentrated to strafe the enemy, the enemy will commit suicide even if there are more cavalry.

Therefore, after a short period of panic, the battalion commander immediately brightened up all the light and heavy machine guns in the battalion to concentrate on the front line to shoot, and the infantry went to the rear to replenish their guns, and prepared grenades, and once the cavalry rushed through the light and heavy machine gun fire interception, they greeted with grenades.

It can be said that the arrangement of the forward battalion is the best tactical tactic against the cavalry.

However, there were too many cavalry from a few hundred meters away.

At the beginning, under the fire of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, the Mongolian cavalry lost four or five hundred men in a row, and did not rush to the front of the forward battalion, and the Mongolian cavalry continued to retreat.

The cavalry commander who had killed all the way had an arrogant expression on his face that he didn't know when it had been replaced by solemnity.

Seeing the dense corpses of war horses and cavalry in front of him, he saw the Liaodong Army still waiting a few hundred meters away. The Archon knew his time was running out.

Hundreds of Liaodong troops are so difficult to deal with, if the main force of the Liaodong Army in the back comes up with reinforcements, there will be no way to deal with them in the face of tens of thousands of Liaodong Army.

Soon, the cavalry commander came up with a solution. While attacking head-on, the two flanks outflanked the attack.

The fierce-eyed cavalry commander keenly found that the Liaodong Army did not have many light and heavy machine guns that caused a large number of casualties to its cavalry, as long as the cavalry could bypass the fire fired by these light and heavy machine guns, relying on rifles alone, the Liaodong Army would definitely not be able to stop the cavalry attack.

Soon, the offensive of more than two thousand cavalry began.

More than 1,000 cavalry continued to attack from the front, attracting the firepower of the Liaodong Army, while two cavalry teams of 500 men fiercely attacked the flank of the forward battalion.

In the face of the sudden change in the battle situation, the commander of the forward battalion immediately reinforced the two wings with three light machine guns.

Six light machine guns were withdrawn at once, and the frontal blocking fire immediately weakened by more than a notch.

More than 1,000 Mongolian cavalrymen, who were desperately blocked by light and heavy machine guns at a distance of 150 meters, immediately seized the opportunity to rush forward.

The positions of the two flanks of the forward battalion that were attacked, although three light machine guns were added each.

However, the limited firepower still could not stop the Japanese attacking forces.
