A target of the new army of the imperial court, light and heavy machine guns combined, there are more than twenty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If the cavalry division forced an attack, even if these light and heavy machine guns could not stop the cavalry attack, it would cause a lot of casualties to the cavalry division.

In Yang Xingguo's words, the officers and troops who were cut off from retreat have become the fat meat that the Liaodong Army bites into its mouth, and the Liaodong Army can eat whatever it wants, and there is no need to lose too much in order to eliminate thousands of officers and soldiers.

Therefore, the cavalry division, which was blocked by the troops behind the official army, did not attack as soon as it came up.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the follow-up pursuit troops of the main force regiment arrived at the battlefield, and the encirclement and annihilation battle against the troops behind the official army began before they began.

Dozens of mortars provided artillery cover, and a battalion of infantry pressed towards the barrage positions of the officers and soldiers who were under heavy artillery fire.

The morale of the officers and soldiers who were left behind in the palace was already very low, but now after dozens of mortars bombed indiscriminately, the morale is even weaker.

Whether it's the infantry rushing towards them, or the cavalry around the battlefield ready to attack, they can be easily eliminated.

The troops left behind by the official army are very aware of this fact and are also very self-aware.

Therefore, as soon as the shelling of dozens of mortars stopped, the remaining officers and troops in the position chose to surrender.

After settling the rear troops of the official army, the cavalry division set off again.

In less than an hour, they again caught up with the retreating troops of the official army.

At this time, Zaitao couldn't care about his troops, and he was bent on escaping, so he subconsciously ordered a target unit to cover behind the palace.

After ordering the exit, he suddenly thought that the troops behind the palace had only won themselves less than an hour, which was not enough to escape to the camp by himself. Zaitao then increased the number of troops behind the palace to a coupe.

As in the battle just now, the cavalry division that ran into the troops behind the official palace did not immediately attack.

Nearly two cavalry regiments were left to hold the troops behind the palace and wait for the main regiment to follow-up the pursuit.

Division commander Wu Xin personally led a cavalry regiment with the largest number of troops, bypassed the battlefield, and continued to pursue Zaitao.

In the end, Zaitao had to leave another target force behind the palace to drag the cavalry of the Liaodong Army.

Waiting for Zaitao to flee to Yingkou in fear, the new army of the two towns at the time of departure, the protection of artillery and baggage lost one association, and the continuous attack loss was nearly one standard, and the troops behind the palace removed two more associations. Now there are only the guards under the command of the two towns and the guard battalion led by himself, with a total strength of less than 2,000 people.

When Zaitao entered the Yingkou wharf with joy and was about to board the ship and leave Yingkou, a picture that Zaitao would never forget appeared.

More than a dozen ships of the Beiyang Naval Division, although all docked at the pier. But each ship had several heavy machine guns on its deck.

What's more, some gunboats directly pointed the black muzzles of their guns at themselves who had already rushed to the dock.

Before Zaitao could react from the shock, a group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Liaodong Army suddenly rushed out of the warehouse next to the wharf, and dozens of light and heavy machine guns were lined up, all of which were set up at the main entrance of the wharf, blocking the retreat of himself and the two thousand grains around him.

"What do you want to do, do you want to rebel with the Liaodong Army? Call out your rulers and bands, and the king of the county will speak to them. Zaitao shouted at the nearest ship with the last bit of hope.

To Zaitao's disappointment, he didn't wait for the commander of the sailor and the ship's pipe belt.

Under his gaze, an officer of the Liaodong Army walked to the edge of the deck and entered Zaitao's field of vision.

"Don't scream, the commander of the water division and more than a dozen pipe bands have become prisoners of my Liaodong Army. Now that there are nearly 100 light and heavy machine guns around you, you have no choice but to jump into the sea and feed the fish. ”

"Surrender, after all, we are all Chinese, we don't want to kill you all on the dock."

Speaking of fear of death, the Manchus who held the power of the Great Qing State were definitely the first.

Therefore, as soon as the request of the special operations detachment on the deck was exited, dozens of Manchu soldiers of the Zaitao guards were so frightened that they subconsciously dropped their weapons and surrendered.

With the one taking the lead, the other officers and soldiers immediately followed suit and dropped their weapons and surrendered.

In the end, in order to survive, even if Zaitao was the king of the Great Qing Dynasty, he could only drop his weapons and surrender to the Liaodong Army.

After Zaitao and Beiyang Naval Division, which posed the greatest threat to Liaodong, were resolved, Kang Jie, who was defending the direction of Shanhaiguan, also waited for the best time for a counterattack.

Since the first round of attack two days ago was repulsed by the Liaodong Army, and the attacking troops of one of their own battalions were heavily damaged.

The town commander responsible for the attack in the direction of Shanhaiguan changed the order of the forcible attack to a feint to contain the Liaodong Army.

Therefore, Kang Jie easily blocked the two-day attack of the official army with four garrison regiments.

Although less than 2,000 officers and soldiers were wiped out in two days of fighting, after two days of attrition, the morale of the officers and soldiers had been almost exhausted by the garrison.

In addition, the reconnaissance troops he sent out had already clearly felt the official artillery positions, headquarters and other important places, and Kang Jie keenly felt that the time had come for him to counterattack.

"Division commander, the officer's artillery position is guarded by only one battalion of troops. In two days, we had sent two battalions lurking around their artillery positions. With an order, they will be able to take the artillery positions in a maximum of twenty minutes. ”

Kang Jie nodded, and replied confidently: "As long as we take down the official artillery, the remaining infantry will be a dish in our mouths, and we can eat whatever we want!" ”

After reconfirming that his arrangements were foolproof, Kang Jie decisively issued a counterattack order.

The smallest of the battles were fought by the remaining units of four garrison regiments and one battalion of the main regiment.

In the face of a new round of feints by the officers and troops, the garrison not only repelled them, but also rushed out of their positions to counterattack under the cover of a main battalion.

The officers and military commanders who were taken aback had just ordered the follow-up troops to set up light and heavy machine guns to meet the retreating troops, and then hit the Liaodong Army's counterattack troops by surprise.

Kang Jie had the only mountain artillery battalion in his hand, and the field artillery battalions immediately opened fire.

The shells with a screeching sound accurately smashed into the officers and soldiers receiving the troops, and as soon as more than 20 shells exploded, the officers and soldiers were scattered and fled for their lives. After more than 20 mountain artillery pieces began to extend their artillery fire, more and more officers and soldiers scattered and fled for their lives to avoid the shelling because they were unprepared, under the influence of the receiving troops.

Without the receiving troops, the feint troops, which had just escaped from the battlefield, immediately collided with the main force. And under the pursuit of the Liaodong Army behind him, they scattered and fled for their lives, stirring up the main force of the official army into chaos.

Including the town commander, all the officers and soldiers did not expect that the Liaodong Army in front of them was still equipped with mountain artillery.

I heard that the front mark had fallen into chaos under the joint counterattack of the artillery and infantry of the Liaodong Army, and the troops could collapse on the battlefield at any time.

The commander immediately ordered the artillery behind to open artillery and counterattack, destroying the artillery units that had just been exposed by the Liaodong Army. (To be continued.) )
