For Wang Hu outside the city, he is very conflicted at the moment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is hoped that the Beiyang Army in the city will surrender, and take Tongliao City without spending a single soldier to reduce the casualties of the troops. He also hoped that the defenders of Tongliao would continue to fight with him, only in this way could he justifiably destroy them on the battlefield and avenge the forward battalion that died in battle.

Before he could think for a few minutes, the excited voice of the chief of staff sounded in his ears.

"White flag, army commander, the defenders of Tongliao have hung a white flag, and they plan to surrender!"

After a flash of imperceptible disappointment quickly flashed in his eyes, Wang Hu immediately ordered: "Send a signal to the defenders in the city and let them take their weapons and leave the city." Put the weapon in our designated position, and don't play tricks. ”

"Also, prepare the troops for battle. Don't be tricked by the Tongliao defenders at that time, lose your wife and break your soldiers. ”

As soon as the three signal flares were controlled, the closed gate of Tongliao City was pushed open.

The Beiyang Army, lined up in two rows, walked out of the city gate with rifles, and then followed the pipeline, step by step, to the Liaodong Army.

Seeing that the defenders were not playing tricks, Wang Hu continued to order: "Go up to a company, let the defenders put all the weapons and ammunition in front of us, and then take the prisoners to the back, and when the chief of staff comes, reorganize them." ”

When the endless Beiyang Army came out with almost a thousand people, Wang Hu suddenly realized something, and immediately asked Wang Lin beside him: "Cavalry, what about the cavalry of our forward battalion, why don't you go out of the city, are they going to play some moths." ”

Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ordered: "Immediately bring over the two civil officials of the Governor's Mansion who entered the persuasion to surrender, they must have missed something and didn't tell us just now." ”

As soon as they saw the angry expression on Wang Hu's face, the two of them knew that the matter about the Inner Mongolia cavalry in the city had been discovered by the Liaodong army.

They didn't dare to slack off, and immediately told everything they knew.

"****, I was almost deceived. There are more than 2,000 Mongolian cavalry, and it is just right that I do not surrender, and I can use their heads to avenge the hundreds of soldiers killed in the forward battalion. ”

After speaking, Wang Hu ignored the two panicked civil officials, and directly ordered Wang Lin: "Send someone to inform the troops in the other three directions, there are still 2,000 Mongolian cavalry in the city that are likely to break through from them, and all the artillery is aimed at the city gate, and all the light and heavy machine guns are also set up, as long as they dare to break through, I will destroy them with shells and bullets." ”

As soon as the Tongliao guards and the last group of soldiers walked out of the city gate, the city gate was locked again.

As soon as the Tongliao garrison who was brought to Wang Hu was about to explain, Wang Hu waved his hand and refused: "I know that there are still 2,000 Mongolian cavalry in the city, and they are also 2,000 cavalry from my forward battalion. ”

"It's just right that they don't surrender. I can just use their heads to avenge the soldiers who died in the vanguard battalion. ”

As soon as Wang Hu's murderous words were finished, a faint sound of horses' hooves reached Wang Hu's ears.

Wang Lin, the chief of staff next to him, was the first to react and said: "There are horses' hooves in three directions. It is definitely impossible for more than 2,000 cavalry to break through the encirclement, then there is only one reason left, they are confusing the public, only one of the three directions is the real breakthrough direction, and the other two directions are attracting our attention. ”

As soon as Wang Lin finished speaking, the sound of violent shell explosions sounded at the three city gates. Then, there was a dense burst of machine-gun fire from the direction of the three city gates.

In the three breakthrough directions, the First Army deployed only one battalion in each direction, and compared with the forward battalion, there were four more mountain guns.

However, if you want to break through the interception of this battalion, leave Tongliao City, and return to the grassland, it is obviously more difficult than completely annihilating the forward battalion of the First Army.

Each sent 500 cavalry out of the city from the east and west gates, attracting the strength and firepower of the Liaodong Army, and creating an opportunity for the main force to break through from the north gate. But the Liaodong Army blocking the city was not fooled, and the strength of a battalion outside the north gate, except for continuing to strengthen the defense, did not have any intention of reinforcing the east and west city gates.

The cavalry commander, who knew that the covering troops could not hold out for long, could only grit his teeth and rush out of the city gate with the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry around him, and directly assaulted.

Dozens of cavalry in front of them, as soon as they rushed out of the city gate, they didn't even see the shadow of the Liaodong Army a few hundred meters away, and the screaming sound of cannonballs crossing the sky reached their ears. Subsequently, shells falling from the sky exploded right next to them.

Six mortar shells plus four mountain artillery shells, seven of which smashed directly at the city gates.

With a fireball mixed with thick gunpowder smoke, a fireball rose from the middle of the cavalry, and more than a dozen cavalrymen, together with the war horses under their crotches, were directly blown over and fell to the city gate.

The Mongolian cavalry that followed closely behind, under the action of inertia, could only rush out of the city gate, rush into the smoke of gunpowder, and rush out of the city by stepping on the corpses of their fallen comrades.

As soon as dozens of cavalrymen rushed out, the scream of cannonballs across the sky reached their ears again.

All six mortar shells smashed at the gate of the city and exploded, once again taking the lives of the cavalry for more than ten days.

Under the fierce and intensive artillery interception and slaughter, the Mongol cavalry who rushed out of the city gate cave, six out of ten people could rush out, which was already a blessing in misfortune.

However, their doom had only just begun at this time.

The cavalry who were lucky enough to rush past the artillery interception, just rushed out of the gunpowder smoke and saw clearly the Liaodong Army blocking a few hundred meters away.

The three heavy machine guns mounted at the forefront of the Liaodong Army opened fire.

Three thick tongues of fire flew over, whether it was a cavalry or a war horse, as long as they were touched, they would either die or be injured.

"Disperse quickly, disperse and assault forward. The Liaodong Army had only three heavy machine guns, and it was impossible to block everyone. Some of the cavalry officers who had already rushed out of Tongliao City immediately ordered.

Such an attack did have some effect, although the cavalry on the battlefield was constantly hit by bullets and fell on the road to reunion with a roar. The rest of the cavalry can take advantage of this opportunity to continue to assault forward.

Soon, the cavalry at the front rushed to a position less than two hundred meters away from the Liaodong Army.

Before the cavalry at the forefront had time to rejoice, a more intensive burst of machine-gun fire rang out from the Liaodong Army's position.

Nine light machine guns, scattered among the three heavy machine guns, fired, and the riflemen, crouched behind the machine gunners, were not far behind and fired forward bullets.

If you are dealing with an ordinary enemy, it will be difficult to hit the target if you shoot at such a long distance.

However, there is no problem at all in dealing with such a big target as the cavalry, after all, they all know the truth of shooting people before shooting horses.

In just such an instant, the density of firepower in front of the cavalry directly increased by more than three times.

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry, which had already rushed to a distance of two hundred meters, could not hide even if they put on their wings.
