Chapter 637: Surrender

Nearly 1,000 officers and men of the patrol battalion scattered and fled, and the Liaodong Army, which had already rushed into the city, had more than 200 people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the face of the sudden changes in front of them, the two sentinels understood that Chaoyang City was over.

Now there is a problem in front of them that must be solved immediately: Chaoyang City cannot be defended, and even if they fight back now, there is no way. But they themselves have several paths to choose from.

Continue to hold here, under the front and rear attacks of the Liaodong Army, it is likely that the whole army will be annihilated.

There is no problem in retreating now, but as a sentry commander, he will definitely be punished by his superiors.

In addition to these, there is one last way, surrender to the Liaodong Army. However, even if you surrender as a last resort, the remaining subordinates below may not agree.

Before the sentry could come up with an understanding, a cry of horror reached his ears.

"Sentry Commander, the Liaodong Army is rushing towards us."

The two sentinels, who were blocked on the stairs of the city wall, hurriedly looked at the city gate.

A group of Liaodong troops, with three light machine guns on the head, rushed towards the stairs with a roar.

Because the light machine gun fire was too fierce, the stairs had not yet been climbed at the foot of the city wall, and the subordinates who had nowhere to hide had already begun to suffer casualties.

"Quick, shoot immediately, you must stop them!" The two regiment commanders subconsciously ordered.

The two heavy machine guns were already being lifted up the city wall for the first time, and when the first grenade hit, they were blown to the ground along with the machine gunners. Therefore, more than 200 Beiyang officers and soldiers could only counterattack with rifles.

However, their counterattack pale in the face of the three light machine guns.

The Liaodong Army, headed by three light machine guns, continued to attack forward.

Not only that, but the Liaodong Army riflemen in the back actually threw a few grenades forward. The explosion sounded, and the thick smoke of gunpowder rising into the air quickly blocked the view of the riflemen of the Beiyang Army.

Taking advantage of the Beiyang Army's unpreparedness, the Liaodong Army immediately seized the opportunity to rush forward.

Rushing forward less than twenty meters outside, the Liaodong Army could already throw grenades at the foot of the city wall.

Trained riflemen, immediately shouted at the city walls, taking advantage of a dozen grenades emitting white smoke.

The explosion sounded, and more than 20 Beiyang troops who were still guarding the corner were blown up in an instant, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

"Sentry Chief, we're stuck here, what should we do!" The platoon commander below immediately realized that the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, and asked the sentry commander.

While speaking, the Liaodong Army, which had finished solving the Beiyang Army at the foot of the city wall, did not have any intention of stopping, and continued to hit the head with a machine gun, rushing up to the stairs where everyone was hiding, seeing that the secret weapon that could explode was taken out from the waist of the Liaodong Army again, and a posture of throwing it here at any time, the dignified face of the front team commander instantly showed a firm expression.

He didn't discuss with his subordinates, and decisively ordered: "Brothers, if you continue to fight, you will definitely not survive." Those who still recognize me as the sentry commander all obey my orders, lay down their arms and surrender. The lives of so many brothers must not be buried in my hands in vain. ”

The other sentry commander was stunned for a moment, and then obviously felt that he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered to his subordinates: "We won't fight anymore, it's not that we don't need to die, it's really that the Liaodong Army is too powerful, and it will have no effect if we continue to fight." ”

The company commander, who was just about to order his subordinates to throw grenades, saw the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the stairs of the city wall dozens of meters away actually holding up a white cloth that they didn't know where to find, and immediately realized that they were planning to surrender.

Such a result is undoubtedly what the Liaodong Army wants to see the most.

Although the Liaodong Army entered the city all the way, through the short battle just now, all the Liaodong Army realized that although the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army was not as good as that of the Japanese army, it was not a vegetarian after more than a year of training.

Sporadic counterattacks and skirmishes continue to inflict casualties on his subordinates.

If the remaining 200 or so Beiyang troops in front of them plan to resist to the end, even if they have grenades, they will always have an advantage in firepower, and without the loss of a platoon, they will definitely not be able to destroy the other side.

After breathing a sigh of relief, the company commander immediately ordered: "Don't shoot, spread out in battle formation, machine guns are ready to shoot, don't be tricked by the Beiyang Army." ”

After the order was issued, the company commander shouted directly at the Beiyang Army dozens of meters away: "The brothers of the Beiyang Army in front have listened, first throw the rifles and bullets out of the city wall, and then come out one by one, no one can bring weapons, otherwise the machine gun in my hand is not vegetarian." ”

After throwing out more than 200 rifles in a row, the Beiyang officers and soldiers with their heads bowed walked out of their hiding places one after another, and under the supervision of the Liaodong Army, walked towards the corner of the city wall, their temporary prisoner of war camp.

After learning from the two sentry commanders that there were only two teams of the Beiyang New Army in the city, and they were both stationed in the barracks, and they did not know the news that the Liaodong Army had entered the city, the company commander immediately realized that there was an opportunity to completely annihilate the Beiyang Army in front of him.

Because the main force of a company had already killed the Beiyang Army barracks just now, the company commander immediately decided to bring a sentry commander to bypass the Beiyang Army garrison and directly block the Beiyang Army's rear road.

Of course, before the operation, the company commander did not forget to leave a platoon to guard the prisoners, and sent a herald to report his plan of action.

Before Jiang Yu, the deputy commander and commander of the battalion, had not returned to the station, a violent explosion and dense gunfire rang out at the head of the city not far away.

Because there was no news coming back from the front, Jiang Yu could only send someone to the front to find out the news.

Before the person who inquired about the news returned, Jiang Yu, who had a keen sense of smell, felt that the gunshots seemed to sound in the city, and they were getting closer and closer to him.

"Could it be that the city gates have been breached!" Jiang Yu immediately had a very bad premonition in his heart.

However, as soon as this premonition appeared, Jiang Yu himself vetoed it: "Impossible, I arranged two teams of more than 300 people in front." And there are also two heavy machine guns, how can they be so unfazed. ”

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu's worried heart finally got a lot better.

However, with a cautious personality, he still sent a few guards to the battlefield to determine what was going on in front of him.

The guards had just walked for less than five minutes, and the commander of the patrol battalion who had been sent to the front to reinforce the city wall half an hour ago was like a lost dog, rushing in very embarrassed, like a lost dog, and he couldn't see the appearance of an officer at all.

As soon as he rushed into the headquarters, the commander of the patrol battalion shouted in embarrassment: "Jiang Biaotong, it's over, Chaoyang City is over, the Liaodong Army has entered Chaoyang City!" ”

"Impossible, I have arranged two new teams on the city wall, and the Liaodong Army will definitely not be able to rush in!" Jiang Yu, who was shocked, was suddenly stunned, and subconsciously vetoed.

The commander of the patrol battalion didn't bother to argue, after all, the attacking troops of the Liaodong Army were behind him, and if he stayed here for too long, he would probably be blocked here by the Liaodong Army.

Since he had already chosen to flee for his life on the battlefield just now, then here, of course, the commander did not have the courage to fight a battle with the Liaodong Army.

In addition, Jiang Yu is not his real superior, but only temporarily supervises himself. Even if you run for your life, the other party can't help yourself.

Since Jiang Yu didn't believe his reminder, the commander could be regarded as having fulfilled his obligation to pass Liao.

looked at Jiang Yu and said anxiously: "Your two new armies are finished, and my patrol battalion is also finished." I'm going to run, Jiang Biaotong, if you don't believe it, just wait here, and the Liaodong Army will be able to kill here in ten minutes at most. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Jiang Yu's reaction, he directly ran back with a few guards. (To be continued.) )
