Chapter 653: Bad luck one after another
Zhang Shanlin didn't expect that his entry into Fengtian City would be so smooth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
What made Zhang Shanlin even happier was that before he entered the city, the Beiyang Army defending the city successfully arrived at the barracks after entering the city for supplies, and directly ordered the troops to disperse the people on the street.
After the special operations detachment entered the city with the convoy, all the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and not even a single pedestrian was seen, which was just convenient for the special operations detachment to disperse and transfer.
Less than an hour after the entire convoy entered the city, more than 1,000 special combat personnel and scouts disappeared into the streets and alleys of Fengtian City in units of 10 or 100 people.
The commander, who was waiting for the equipment to arrive in the barracks, waited for two hours without seeing the supplies, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and then sent someone to check it.
Soon, the news came that the Commander wanted to kill himself.
The troops found more than 100 carts entering the city in the city, but the two battalions of the Beiyang Army escorting these carts disappeared completely and disappeared without a trace.
The weapons and ammunition of more than a hundred carts were obviously more important than the escort troops, and the search force quickly pulled the carts back to the barracks.
Just when the commander couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a sentry who opened the box suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Stones, how are there stones in the box! Commander, there are no weapons in the box at all, but stones. ”
The leader was stunned for a moment, and then his face was replaced by incredulity. Facing the subordinates around him who were also stunned, he ordered loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Open all the other chests to see if they contain weapons or stones. ”
To the despair of the commander, dozens of boxes were opened in a row, and there was not even a single bullet in them except for stones.
"It's over, our weapons and ammunition must have been recontracted by the enemy. You guys will keep these carts for me, and I'll go to the Governor's Palace at once and report to the Governor!" The commander, who had only reacted for a long time because of the shock, hurriedly ordered.
An hour later, Xu Shichang and several commanders in the city all gathered in the barracks.
After some discussion, everyone came to the conclusion that the Liaodong Army must have looted this batch of weapons and ammunition.
Because, around Fengtian, the Liaodong Army also has the strength to grab so many weapons and ammunition from the hands of the two battalions of the Beiyang Army.
However, another problem arises here, robbing is robbing, why did the Liaodong Army still replace the weapons on the cart with stones and transport them into Fengtian City, and there was also a standard to escort the troops to help them.
"Don't think about it, as long as you find Wang Biaotong and find the Liaodong Army that entered the city, everything will be clear. Chuan Ben ordered to blockade Mukden City and find these people for me. There are more than 1,000 people, and the official does not believe that they can put on wings and fly out of Mukden. ”
What Xu Shichang didn't expect was that when he first took office as the governor of the three eastern provinces, the Liaodong Army began to lay out Fengtian.
A few of the courtyards hanging in the emperor's house were bought by the Liaodong Army a few months ago.
After buying these yards, the Liaodong Army only did one thing, and that was to dig cellars, which could hide hundreds of people.
These cellars were completed a little more than a month ago. And the special combat soldiers and scouts who entered Mukden City were all scattered in these cellars.
There is both grain and water, and the Liaodong army hidden in the cellar can not come out for five days.
In addition, the courtyard where the cellar was located was bought and hung in the names of some ordinary merchants, although the Beiyang Army sent many people to check, and checked twice in a row, still did not find anything abnormal.
"Who can tell this official, where the more than 1,000 Liaodong troops have gone, and Wang Biaotong, who escorted weapons and ammunition, did they really put on their wings and flew out of Fengtian City, why have two days passed, and there is no news from them!"
In the face of Xu Shichang's anger, everyone did not react in any way except to lower their heads.
Just when Xu Shichang was about to continue to scold his subordinates for how stupid they were, a standard suddenly broke in regardless of his identity.
Xu Shichang, who was holding back his anger and had nowhere to send it, was just about to scold, when he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly took the lead to report: "Ladies and gentlemen, something happened, more than 20,000 Jiangdong traps suddenly came to us, and there are still ten miles left from Fengtian City. Please prepare early! ”
"Liaodong Army attack? If you don't come early, you won't come late, but this time comes. The officer was sure that this must have been a premeditated attack by the Liaodong Army. The more than 1,000 Liaodong troops that advanced into the city in two days are likely to be the internal response of the Liaodong Army entering the city in advance, preparing to attack us inside and outside at a critical moment, and give us a deadly attack. A town commander frowned, and immediately reminded everyone.
"Not possibly, for sure!" Xu Shichang's brows also furrowed, and he replied decisively.
The other commander hurriedly asked, "My lord, these are all secondary. We have the advantage of troops, as long as we deploy enough troops in the city to carry out the realm, more than 1,000 Liaodong troops will not be able to make any big waves. As long as they dare to come out, we dare to destroy them. ”
"The problem now is that the main force of more than 20,000 Liaodong Army outside the city, and the Liaodong Army of two divisions are equipped with more than 100 artillery pieces. Although we have strengthened a lot of heavy equipment during this period, the majority of them are light and heavy machine guns, and the number of artillery is still not comparable to that of the Liaodong Army. ”
Among the several commanders, the oldest one analyzed: "The Liaodong Army has more artillery than us, and it is definitely us who will suffer losses in field battles." If we relied on the fortifications of the city walls for defense, the enemy artillery would definitely cause much less damage to us. ”
"Then rely on the fortifications to defend the city." Xu Shichang immediately decided.
"The official ordered the Fourth Town and the two associations to defend the south and east of the city, which were most likely to be attacked. The new Seventh Town defended the west and north of the city. The Fifth Town, as the Fourth Town Reserve, is ready to join the battlefield. The newly formed Eighth Town, as the reserve of the Seventh Town, is ready to enter the battlefield at any time. The newly formed Ninth Town, the Fengtian Patrol Battalion, patrolled the territory in the city as a team, and found that there were people who made trouble, no matter what their identity, they were eliminated on the spot. ”
Nearly 20,000 Liaodong Army, because the Beiyang Army took the initiative to shrink the defensive line, held on to the city fortifications. Wang Hu did not encounter any resistance and slaughtered outside the city of Fengtian.
Looking at the city wall that barely moved a kilometer away, Wang Hu immediately understood the tactical tactics that the Beiyang Army intended to defend.
The chief of staff next to him frowned, and immediately asked Wang Hu: "Commander, do you want to send a battalion to attack and see the firepower of the Beiyang Army." ”
"Yes!" If you want to take Mukden, a tentative attack is definitely necessary.
Just as the chief of staff was about to give an order, Wang Hu followed the order: "Let the two field artillery regiments cooperate with the attack, as soon as the light and heavy machine guns of the Beiyang Army at the head of the city open, the two field artillery regiments will fire at the city wall." ”
"After ten minutes of artillery fire coverage, the troops continued to attack, and then the field artillery regiment continued to open fire."
