Chapter 636: Twists and Turns
In the end, one of the six mountain guns of the Beiyang Army artillery team was snatched out, and in the face of the artillery team with heavy losses, low morale, and almost lost its combat effectiveness, Wang Sentinel's face directly turned pale, and he could no longer see the arrogance and arrogance just now.

"This, Commander Wang, I didn't expect that the Liaodong Army outside the city actually hid artillery!" Jiang Yu, who returned to the artillery position, immediately comforted.
Captain Wang waved his hand and replied: "We didn't expect that only a few hundred Liaodong troops would be equipped with so many artillery!" ”
After finishing speaking, a trace of helplessness quickly flashed on Commander Wang's face, and he continued to Jiang Yu: "Jiang Biaotong, we have all underestimated the strength of the Liaodong Army outside the city, and next, it is impossible for the artillery team to provide you with artillery support, and all battles will depend on you." ”
Jiang Yu nodded with a face full of concentration to indicate that he knew, and just as he was about to leave here, an explosion sounded again in the city not far away, and the explosion sound in this round was obviously denser than just now.
Wang Sentinel frowned, and hurriedly reminded: "I'm sure that at least six artillery pieces were used in the shelling of the Liaodong Army just now. Not surprisingly, the Liaodong Army either still hid the artillery, or the three artillery pieces they used to shell the city gate at the beginning were not destroyed by us and were successfully transferred. ”
The expression on Jiang Yu's face became even more solemn, and he didn't say much to Commander Wang, and rushed directly to his headquarters.
The rear team has already been sent to the front to reinforce the front team, and judging by the time, it has now arrived.
Although there is no news yet, Jiang Yu is still very worried about whether the two teams can hold the city gate. The offensive artillery fire of the Liaodong Army was too fierce, and after a long time, even if the Liaodong Army only bombed with shells and did not attack, after a long time, the front and rear teams would suffer heavy losses.
In order to be safe, Jiang Yu immediately thought of the original garrison in the city, two patrol battalions.
After a brief hesitation, he decisively ordered a patrol battalion to reinforce the battlefield.
Because the artillery fire on the head of the city was too fierce, after the rear team came up with reinforcements, they could only hide in the corner of the city wall like the front team.
There was no one on the city, and they didn't see it, and the two companies of the Liaodong Army's short guns and machine guns and machine guns, under the cover of artillery fire, touched the city wall little by little.
As soon as the hundreds of Liaodong troops reached a position of 100 meters outside the city, in order to avoid accidental injury, the shelling of the four mountain guns stopped.
But the three mortars were not idle, still firing shells at the city's head at their fastest firing rate,
Two companies of the Liaodong Army's attacking troops only stopped for more than ten seconds before touching the city wall again.
In close shelling, the mortar had a very high target, and the error of the shelling did not exceed five meters. Therefore, the two companies did not stop until thirty or forty meters outside the city.
As soon as the attacking troops stopped, the mortar platoon also stopped firing.
The Beiyang New Army, which was hiding behind the city wall, rushed to the city wall with various tones and screams, preparing to block the Liaodong Army reinforcements that were about to attack.
The Liaodong Army, which had already rushed under their noses, was not idle, and rushed towards the city wall with all their strength.
The Beiyang army rushed to the head of the city and quickly dispersed on both sides of the city wall, preparing to pounce on the city pass.
Two companies of the Liaodong Army had already rushed to a position less than ten meters from the city wall.
In addition, the wall of Chaoyang City is only four or five meters high, and at this distance, the Liaodong Army can easily throw grenades on the city wall.
The Japanese troops who rushed to the entrance of the city saw at a glance the Liaodong army outside the city that had rushed to the foot of the city wall.
"It's not good, the Liaodong Army has rushed up, shoot quickly! And what about heavy machine guns? Why hasn't it arrived yet, shoot right away. A platoon commander of the Beiyang Army, who was the first to discover the Liaodong Army, shouted loudly in shock.
Just when he subconsciously exposed his body from the mouth of the city, picked up his rifle and prepared to shoot outside the city.
The three heavy machine gunners of the Liaodong Army, who had been staring at the head of the city more than 100 meters away, immediately pulled the trigger.
In an instant, a dense string of bullets swept towards the platoon commander.
Before the platoon commander could shoot, a few bullets smashed him into a hornet's nest through the city stomping.
As soon as the heavy machine gun behind him fired, the Liaodong Army of the two companies seemed to get a signal, took out their grenades, pulled out the lead, stayed in their hands for two seconds, and threw them at the head of the city with all their strength.
As they were running wildly at the head of the city, carrying various weapons and rushing to their combat positions, dense grenades appeared directly above their heads.
Although it has been almost half a year since the Liaodong Army was equipped with grenades, the weapons almost relied on the purchased Beiyang New Army, and they still had not seen it.
In the face of the black grenades that fell overhead, many of the Beiyang New Army did not know what it was.
However, this doubt only lasted for a second or two, and the grenade used its great power to tell them that it was a killing weapon that could kill, and it was very lethal.
After the first grenade exploded in the air, the remaining grenades, like thunder, exploded in just a few seconds.......
Some smashed on the city and exploded, some exploded in the air, and the flying grenade fragments quickly intertwined on the city to form an impermeable firepower network with no dead ends.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Beiyang troops who rushed to the city were either killed or wounded on the city.
The first round of grenade explosions had not stopped, and the second round of grenades followed above them.
Looking at the continuous explosion in front of the city wall, the Beiyang New Army, which had not yet rushed up, stopped one after another, not daring to rush forward.
Everyone, including the two sentinels, felt an inexplicable fear of this new weapon, which had never been seen before, but which could explode and kill people.
Suddenly, an even more violent explosion rang out beneath their feet, followed by a cry of terror throughout the city.
"The gates are broken. The city gate was blown open by the Liaodong army, and the Liaodong army rushed in. ”
The two sentinels looked back, and their faces, which were still frightened just now, turned pale at this moment.
The city gate hole, where smoke was constantly rising, kept the Liaodong army rushing in.
The Liaodong Army, which rushed to the front, everyone held a light machine gun that the Beiyang New Army was not equipped with, and while firing forward, opening the way with dense firepower, they rushed forward with a roar.
Coincidentally, the Liaodong Army that rushed into the city happened to collide with the patrol battalion that had been ordered to reinforce it.
The patrol battalion, which can only bully and bully people in peacetime, has never seen such fierce offensive firepower.
Several light machine guns fired together, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers of the patrol battalion who rushed to the front were beaten into a hornet's nest.
In the face of death, all the patrol battalions had expressions of fear on their faces.
I don't know who took the lead, so I dropped my weapon and ran backwards, trying to escape from here.
The remaining officers and men of the patrol battalion immediately followed suit, like lost dogs, scattering and fleeing, no matter how much the officers roared.
