Li Chao didn't have a choice at all, although Wu Yang was not Li Chao's direct boss, but who made the family the head of the regiment? In the entire army, it is second only to the existence of brigade commander Wang Sirui.

Wu Yang's order was not something that Li Chao, a small company commander, dared to refute at all.

In the end, Li Chao could only return to the blue flag barracks in despair, and at the same time brought the new order to Xu Zhiyou.

Although Xu Zhiyou scolded angrily, he didn't dare to say something too ugly, and in the end he could only act according to Wu Yang's orders.

Half an hour later, two companies of troops arrived at the barracks with nearly 100 wounded and more than 300 prisoners.

The wounded were uniformly arranged into the barracks, and those prisoners, whether wounded or not, were uniformly arranged to the school grounds, and dozens of braziers were placed in the middle to illuminate the entire school field.

A heavy machine gun was placed directly opposite, but if there was any movement from the captives, the heavy machine gun would kill them all in a matter of minutes.

In addition, there are two platoons of troops surrounding the entire school field, the remaining platoon is responsible for caring for the wounded, and the rest of the troops are guarding the barracks from enemy attacks.

…………

"Regiment commander, Zhengyangmen has been taken, but the casualties of the troops are a little large, are you going to transfer some reinforcements?" Yang Gen, the commander of the first battalion, was a little eager to try.

"Wait a little longer, let the brothers of the second battalion hold on a little longer, take Chongwenmen, and I will replace them to come down to rest." Wu Yang shook his head.

Even if the Zhengyang Gate is taken, the troops in the north have only captured the two city gates, and there are still many city gates behind, so now the reserves are used, so how can the battle be fought later?

"Regiment commander, the second battalion has taken two city gates in a row, and it is also the city gate adjacent to the inner city in the north, after a while the foreign soldiers will react, they will definitely counterattack violently, if you don't give the second battalion time to rest, I'm afraid there will be more casualties next." Yang Gen persuaded, but everything is the same, Yang Gen just wants to replace the second battalion and go to the front line.

And Wu Yang also saw Yang Gen's purpose, but he didn't reprimand, but comforted: "Don't worry, there will be a lot of tough battles in the future, and there will be time for you to play." Now your task is to let the troops rest, if you drop the chain when Lao Tzu sends you up, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, Commander, when did our first battalion fall off the chain? When didn't the second and third battalions beat the ground for teeth? Yang Gen smiled, and he didn't feel embarrassed when he saw through his thoughts, but he was very proud.

Wu Yang waved his hand and motioned for Yang Gen to hurry up and rest.

As for what Yang Gen said before, Wu Yang didn't take it to heart at all.

What do you mean by heavy casualties? Grandma's bear, a battalion has four companies, an establishment of more than 600 people, so far more than 30 people have been killed and less than 100 injured, and most of them are still lightly injured, which is called heavy casualties?

And guarding the corner of the city wall is the guard company directly under the regiment, and two machine guns are rushing towards that one, and no number of people can rush to it. As for reloading, I'm sorry, but this problem doesn't exist at all.

The two machine guns are cross-fired, one machine gun finishes a chain of bullets, and before it runs out, the other machine gun will fire, and then continue to alternate, so that as long as there is an enemy in front of it, the machine gun will not stop.

Moreover, the walls are only a few meters wide, and a single machine gun can easily block all the passages, and it is difficult for the enemy to enter even within a hundred meters.

As for attacking the gates, this one is even simpler.

The machine gun went to that one, first slammed it forward, and after draining a chain of bullets, the infantry followed the charge, and if it encountered a fierce counterattack from the enemy, the infantry temporarily withdrew, and the machine gun continued to fight.

At the same time, the ambush soldiers under the city walls will also take the opportunity to attack, and it will not take too long to capture a city gate.

The defenders at the gates were either captured, killed, or fled towards the next gate, and so on.

Therefore, with the current strength of the second battalion, even if the number of casualties is removed, they still have at least one and a half companies of troops, and there is no problem at all in capturing Chongwenmen.

On the other side, because of the distance, the third battalion is also currently attacking You'anmen.

Although the direction of the three battalions will be slightly larger, after the capture, they only need to leave two platoons of troops at one gate, because there are no enemy troops outside the city.

Therefore, with the strength of three battalions, it should be more than enough to capture You'anmen. Even, it is not impossible to capture Guangqumen.

Wu Yang's eyes stared at the map of the capital on the table in front of him, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't think of a perfect solution.

Judging from their current strength, a regiment can barely hold the gates of the entire outer city at most. However, if the enemy launches a fierce attack, it is not a problem to defend it, but if it is defended for a long time, this problem will arise.

Unless the second regiment can clear the enemy troops in the city overnight, it will be possible to send out a battalion to support the first regiment, but this can only help the first regiment to consolidate the defense on the city wall and hold the entire city wall to the point of impregnability, which is not achieved at all.

Again, from any point of view, they had no chance of continuing to attack the inner city, because the troops were there.

Moreover, Wang Sirui's intention was to occupy the capital, not simply drive the foreigners out of the capital. In this way, they had to leave enough troops to defend each place they attacked.

After doing the math, Wu Yang came to a conclusion, if there is another regiment of troops, they can defend the outer city as impregnable, unless all 50,000 foreign soldiers come to attack, otherwise relying on their firepower, plus the advantage of the city wall, the enemy will not be able to open the city gate in a short period of time.

If there are three more regiments of troops, they will almost dare to attack the inner city, but whether they can hold it in the end is not known for the time being, and it depends on how the foreigners will counterattack.

But obviously, the strength will not jump out of thin air, and Wu Yang knows very well that they do not have so many troops.

Even if Wang Shuqi, who has been hiding outside, secretly develops, at most, he can only pull up the strength of one regiment, three regiments, it is impossible at all.

But knowing that it is impossible, he has to do it in reverse, which is not Wang Sirui's style.

However, Wu Yang still couldn't understand, why did Wang Sirui do this? Is it just for a piece of paper from the imperial court?
