Although it was not clear what the purpose of the official army outside the city was this, Wang Hu, who had a limited number of troops, did not dare to slack off, after all, the total strength of the official army outside Tongliao City exceeded 20,000 and was equipped with a large number of field artillery.

The two towns from the south of the new army, arrived in Tongliao City began to attack the city, always give the city a certain siege pressure, but do not fight a decisive battle, as long as the loss is a little big, the attacking force will retreat, replaced by a new offensive force to continue the siege.

After fighting for a whole day, the imperial officers and soldiers defending Shanhaiguan also waited for a new army in the south.

A total of 15,000 troops swept out of Shanhaiguan and killed the position of the Liaodong Army a few miles away.

In order to block Shanhaiguan, while Shanhaiguan was still under the control of the imperial court, the Liaodong Army directly built a defensive line at a checkpoint less than ten miles away from Shanhaiguan. At all times, a battalion of troops was stationed in the defensive line to prevent the invasion of the imperial army.

In particular, after the Liaodong Army's attack on the three eastern provinces began, Kang Jie, commander of the 12th Division and former commander of the 2nd Division and 1st Regiment who remained at Shanhaiguan, specially strengthened the defensive firepower on the position and sent reconnaissance troops to keep an eye on Shanhaiguan 24 hours a day. As long as the officers and soldiers come out of Shanhaiguan, they will report to Dao Kangjie as soon as possible.

When more than 10,000 officers and soldiers with artillery came out of Shanhaiguan, Kang Jie already knew their strength and equipment.

The newly promoted chief of staff frowned and said, "Division commander, these officers and soldiers are obviously trying to take advantage of the fire to rob!" Although we are the strength of a division, neither the strength nor the equipment meets the standards of the main division,"

"In terms of troops, the teacher only left us less than 3,000 veterans, and the rest are garrison regiments supplemented from various counties, and these garrison regiments add up to only 4,000 people."

"Not to mention the equipment, the teacher only left us a field artillery battalion and a mountain artillery battalion before our expansion, as well as dozens of mortars, whether it is the number or the power of the artillery, it is not an opponent of the official army."

"I didn't count the light and heavy machine guns just now, except for the three thousand people left by the teacher and a few flat-chested shots, all of them were fully equipped, and there were four garrison regiments left, almost no equipment. With such firepower, how can it withstand the attack of a town by the official army. ”

The chief of staff said so much, and the final meaning was one, with the current strength of the 12th Division, it was very difficult to block the attack of more than 10,000 elites in the imperial court.

Compared with the chief of staff, Kang Jie, who had just been promoted to division commander and had encountered this kind of big battle as soon as he came up, not only showed a diametrically opposite excited expression on his calm face, but also full of expectations for this offensive and defensive battle that was about to start.

Seeing the chief of staff staring at him, Kang Jie replied confidently: "When I followed the commander to face the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Russian army, the situation and equipment were even worse than now. But in the end, we won the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Russian army, and we also captured a large number of weapons and equipment from the Russian army. ”

"I don't believe that the combat effectiveness of the officers and troops will be stronger than that of the Russian army. As long as we can defeat these officers and soldiers, the more than 50 field guns and a large number of light and heavy machine guns brought by the officers and soldiers will be ours. At that time, with these captures alone, our 12th Division will be fully equipped. ”

The chief of staff didn't know where Kang Jie's self-confidence came from, but Kang Jie was the division commander, and since Kang Jie was so sure, as a deputy, the chief of staff finally chose to believe it.

Kang Jie asked: "If the garrison wants to become the main force, the easiest and most direct way is to fight. Therefore, the next position was to let the four garrison regiments go up, and each regiment held out for half a day. In order to increase their firepower, during the battle, we provided each garrison regiment with six mortars, three heavy machine guns and six light machine guns for fire support. ”

"At critical moments, mountain artillery battalions and field artillery battalions can also fire artillery to support them. However, they should not have too much hope for the mountain artillery battalions, the officers and troops are fully equipped with 54 field artillery pieces, and we are definitely not opponents in artillery battles, and our two artillery battalions can only leave with one blow at most. ”

"What about the main regiment?" The Chief of Staff nodded approvingly, and then continued to ask.

"Hold them back with the garrison first, kill their sharpness and offensive momentum. As for the main group, there is only one task, recuperate, take the initiative to attack at critical moments, give the opponent a deadly attack, and defeat them. ”

"At this time, the tactics that the commander used to use in the past, today we will apply what we have learned and apply it to these officers and soldiers."

More than an hour later, the Japanese forward troops were killed in front of the position of the Liaodong Army.

Although they had not fought with the Liaodong Army, they had heard of the prestige of the Liaodong Army. These troops from the south did not attack as soon as they came up, but waited for the artillery to arrive, and under the cover of artillery, they sent a battalion to attack the Liaodong Army.

Although the Liaodong Army guarding the position was a garrison unit, its training in peacetime was no less than that of the field troops, and the only thing it lacked was actual combat experience.

In the face of the artillery shells and light and heavy machine gun bullets fired by the officers and soldiers, most of the officers and men of the garrison showed a panicked expression on their faces, and dozens of soldiers who were slow to react turned into corpses without even seeing the shadow of the Liaodong Army.

But the rest of the soldiers still reacted subconsciously and rushed into the nearest anti-gun hole as soon as possible. You must know that this kind of training has been training for them for nearly half a year, and many actions have become their subconscious actions unconsciously.

As soon as the shelling ended, the officers and soldiers fired more than a dozen heavy machine guns at the positions of the Liaodong Army, and the officers and soldiers of a battalion then began to attack with rifles.

The commander of the garrison regiment, who was born in the main force, listened to the whizzing sound of heavy machine gun bullets flying overhead, and immediately realized that if he did not solve the heavy machine guns of the officers and soldiers, his troops would not even have a chance to raise their heads.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers of a battalion had quickly rushed towards him, the regiment commander decisively ordered the mortars supporting him to open fire on the heavy machine gun positions of the officers and soldiers, even if they could not destroy those heavy machine guns, the heavy machine guns of the officers and soldiers who were harassing could not provide fire cover for the infantry normally.

Dense mortar shells, like rain, constantly smashed into the heavy machine gun positions of the officers and soldiers, and at once blew two heavy machine guns into parts.

In the face of shells falling from the sky, when did the heavy machine gunner, who has always been heavily protected, encounter such a dangerous situation. Without waiting for the sentinel's order, a group of four machine gunners began to move their positions with heavy machine guns.

After re-mounting the heavy machine guns, they continued to fire at the positions of the Liaodong Army.

But in a few seconds, the shell they had just avoided fell from the sky again, smashed around them and exploded, blowing a heavy machine gun into parts by the way.

As a result, the officers and soldiers could only fire a shuttle of bullets in one place after the more than a dozen heavy machine guns that provided fire cover for their attacking troops, and then immediately shifted their positions to continue to provide fire cover for the attacking troops.

The intermittent firepower finally gave the garrison a chance to counterattack.

Kang Jie strengthened the garrison regiment's three heavy machine guns and six light machine guns, and immediately seized the opportunity to shoot, and specifically focused on the attacking troops of the officers and troops.

In order to avoid the bursts of covering fire from the officers and soldiers, the machine gun fire of the garrison regiment could only take advantage of the empty shelling to shoot bursts of bullets at the attacking troops of the officers and troops.
