The original Shengjing General's Mansion, as soon as Xu Shichang came, it became the Governor's Mansion of the Three Eastern Provinces.

In the lobby, whether it was Governor Xu Shichang, or Wu Feng, the commander of the fourth and fifth towns of the army, who assisted Xu Shichang in commanding the battle, and Wu Changchun, they all walked around with frowns. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"My lord, the soldiers in front of me are right, the battle can't be fought like this anymore! Otherwise, not only will we not be able to hold Mukden, but the new army of the five towns defending Mukden will all be consumed here. Wu Changchun, the commander of the Fifth Town of the Army, couldn't help but break the silent and depressing atmosphere of the Governor's Mansion and said to Xu Shichang.

"Before we left the customs, the marshal repeatedly explained that Fengtian can do without it, and even the entire Northeast can do without it. However, the Beiyang Army's six towns and armies in the three eastern provinces must bring back all the main forces. ”

"If we consume all the defenders of the five towns here, how can we explain to the marshal."

Seeing that Xu Shichang was still frowning and not speaking, Wu Fengling followed and said, "I support the withdrawal of troops and give up Fengtian City. ”

"The Liaodong Army has an artillery superiority, and with this kind of long-distance attack and defense, our soldiers were killed by the opponent with artillery shells without even seeing the face of the Liaodong Army. As long as the opponent has enough shells, the bombing can blow up all our defenders? ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, this is not a battle to defend the city at all, it is a massacre, a massacre of the Liaodong Army against us."

Hearing the word slaughter, Xu Shichang was finally moved.

But the frowning brows still didn't mean to stretch out, and he asked in a deep voice at the two commanders: "This official also agrees to withdraw the troops, but how to withdraw to bring more troops out, we must think about it?" ”

"The two generals should know that the four gates of Fengtian City have been attacked, and the army of the four towns defending the four gates has all been dragged on the city wall, and the ninth town that can patrol the realm inside the city can be moved."

Wu Changchun frowned and replied: "Concentrate all the firepower of the Ninth Town and attack from the West Gate." The new army of the other four towns defending the four city gates, except for the west gate, the defenders in other directions immediately abandoned the city wall and let the Liaodong army enter the city. Each town left a battalion of troops to hold back the attacking troops of the Liaodong Army in the city and cover the withdrawal of the main force from Fengtian City. ”

After thinking for a minute, Xu Shichang said with a firm face: "Then do it!" Order the Ninth Town to assemble at the West Gate. The forces of the Nine Towns are too scattered, and it will take time to assemble them all. After the nine towns were assembled and began to assault outside the city, they ordered the main forces of the other three towns to retreat in the direction of the west gate. ”

Whether it was Wang Hu outside the city or Zhang Shanlin inside the city, they didn't know that the Beiyang Army had planned to give up Fengtian City.

After the troops had eaten lunch and rested for two hours, Wang Hu continued to order the troops to launch an attack on Mukden, killing and wounding the defenders with artillery.

The special operations detachment and more than 1,000 scouts of the First Army, which were hidden in the city, were ready for battle from the beginning of the battle.

But because the Beiyang Army arranged too many patrols in the city, it almost reached the point of five steps and one sentry and ten steps and one post. As long as you see a living person and appear on the street, no matter what you do, you will greet them with bullets as soon as you come up.

In order to avoid accidents, Zhang Shanlin could only order the troops to stay still and hold back at their respective lurking points.

For a whole morning, including Zhang Shanlin, everyone held back their anger.

But no matter how his subordinates asked for war and instigated themselves, Zhang Shanlin always said one sentence: do not move.

As the leader of the special operations detachment, Zhang Shanlin understands the essence of special operations better than many people. As a sharp blade of the Liaodong Army, the special operations detachment will either not move, or it will give the enemy a deadly attack if it moves.

Of course, Zhang Shanlin's immobility does not mean that Zhang Shanlin is not in a hurry. Zhang Shanlin is also aware of another truth, the longer he drags on here, the greater the risks, and the greater the variables in the whole process.

Suddenly, a figure broke into the room where the special operations detachment had set up a radio station, and as soon as he came in, he reported to Zhang Shanlin: "Detachment leader, it's done, the Beiyang Army has retreated, and the Beiyang Army operating in the city has withdrawn, and then assemble in the direction of the West Gate." ”

"Simon!" Zhang Shanlin frowned and said with a puzzled expression.

Soon, a pair of confused eyes shot out two very sharp gazes, and then suddenly realized and said, "I understand, the Beiyang Army wants to run." The West Gate is not our main direction of attack, and there is only one possibility to gather so many troops to go to the West Gate, that is, the Beiyang Army will break through from the West Gate. ”

Now that he already knows the next plan of the Beiyang Army, what Zhang Shanlin needs to do is-for-tat.

After thinking about it, he ordered his subordinates: "Immediately send a telegram to Commander Wang outside the city, the Beiyang Army is preparing to break through from the West Gate, and I hope Commander Wang will be ready." ”

"The first brigade, commanded by me personally, with three hundred scouts, raided the governor's palace of the three eastern provinces, which is not very far from us, and captured the governor Xu Shichang alive."

"The second brigade, with squadrons as a unit, each squadron with two hundred scouts, raided the Beiyang Army's arsenal in the city, the grain depot, and the treasury of the governor's palace of the three eastern provinces. Occupy these three places, then hold on, and wait for the main army to enter the city and take over the warehouse. ”

Although Xu Shichang had already given the order to the Ninth Town half an hour ago to assemble at the West Gate. However, in the face of constant bad news from the front. Whether it is Xu Shichang or the two town commanders, they are all anxious.

In particular, Xu Shichang, in order to live up to Yuan Shikai's repeated explanations to himself, brought all the main forces of the Beiyang Army in the six towns of the three eastern provinces back to Guannei. Every five minutes, Xu Shichang had to ask about the specific progress of the new Ninth Town, and judge whether he could order the front-line troops to withdraw from the city wall.

"What is the ninth town doing, have you lost all the training in the past few months, why haven't you assembled yet." After waiting for more than half an hour, Xu Shichang couldn't help but burst out and asked Wu Fengling.

Because, the ninth town was expanded from the fourth town of Wu Fengling, and it was also trained by Wu Fengling.

Wu Fengling hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

A series of gunshots suddenly rang out outside the Governor's Palace, and before everyone could react, the dense gunfire was mixed with several violent explosions.

Listening to the sound, the explosion site was less than fifty meters away from the lobby of the Governor's Palace, where everyone was.

Wu Fengling, who reacted the fastest, was just about to call someone to take a look outside, when a sentry commander of the guard battalion of the Governor's Mansion rushed in with a nervous face.

"My lord, something happened, the Governor's Mansion was attacked by the enemy, and the guard battalion is blocking it!"
