Listening to the constant sound of persuasion outside the courtyard, Xu Shichang wanted to refuse. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, as soon as the words reached his mouth, he was swallowed back by Xu Shichang himself.

The dozens of guards closest to him, I don't know when, all stared at him with a pair of longing eyes.

The rifle that was short in their hands, the muzzle of the black hole was also lowered at this time.

These soldiers were undoubtedly showing him with their actions that they did not want to die.

Not only ordinary soldiers, but also Wu Fengling and Wu Changchun, the two commanders next to them, also showed a painful expression of unbearability and hesitation.

Outside, Zhang Shanlin was right, many of the defenders in the city were brought from the Guannei by themselves, and they were all veterans who had followed him for more than a year. If they all die here, not only will they have no face to face Yuan Shikai, but they will also have no face to face Tongliao and the families of tens of thousands of soldiers.

After a minute, Wu Changchun's painful face first showed a determined expression, and then decisively decided: "Only by living can there be hope." At the very least, we also want to bring back most of the officers of the Five Towns Army to reduce the losses of our Beiyang Army as much as possible. ”

Wu Fengling, who was next to him, replied with a wry smile: "Do we have any other way out than surrender?" Look at the soldiers around you, as long as we order them to continue to resist, they will definitely disobey! ”

"My lord, surrender, we have no other way out than surrender. As long as we live, I'm sure Dashuai will find a way to get us back. What Wu Tongzhi said just now is right, only by living, can there be hope! ”

The two commanders in charge of the army don't want to fight, let alone themselves, who are powerless.

Although Xu Shichang was still very unwilling in his heart, he had to give an order to retreat.

Half an hour later, all the four gates of Fengtian City were opened, and the dense Beiyang Army laid down its weapons and walked out of Fengtian City in a very orderly manner to surrender to the First Army.

"The special operations detachment is worthy of being trained by the commander, and it is powerful. It only took a long time to force the defenders of the city to surrender. Tens of thousands of well-equipped Beiyang Army, if there is no special operations detachment to come to this hand, just if we go outside to attack, even if we enter Fengtian City, we will suffer heavy losses. Otherwise, the Beiyang Army will escape from Fengtian City, leaving an empty Fengtian City for us. ”

The happy chief of staff couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Army commander, the Beiyang Army of the five towns was completely annihilated by us like this, if it didn't happen in front of our eyes, I don't believe it at all." ”

"You must know that the Beiyang Army in the entire three eastern provinces combined has only six towns, and now we have eaten five of them at once, and the Beiyang Army with one town left can't help us at all. Not surprisingly, the entire three eastern provinces are ours. ”

Wang Hu's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered: "Chief of Staff, all the prisoners in Fengtian City will be handed over to the Sixth Division for temporary care, remember to kick out all the officers above the sentry commander and detain them alone." ”

"Also, send a telegram to the commander to report the situation here. At the same time, I will report to the commander that I will personally lead a division of troops to attack in the northwest direction, cut off the communication channel between the imperial court and the three eastern provinces, and separate the three eastern provinces from the imperial court. ”

"Also, please send additional troops in the direction of Mukden, attack all the way to Jilin, and destroy the last town of the Beiyang Army in the three eastern provinces. If possible, bring Xu Shichang directly from Mukden and persuade them to surrender. ”

"Finally, the Sixth Division was ordered to completely occupy Mukden, leaving a regiment to guard the prisoners and guard the outside of Mukden City. The other two regiments immediately took the battalion and company as a unit, took Xu Shichang's order, took over the defense of all the counties around Fengtian, and surrendered all the officers and men of the patrol battalion by the way. You must know that these people are the best soldiers of our Beiyang Army to expand its army in the future. ”

The Beiyang Army began to equip radio stations as early as a year ago, so when Xu Shichang became the governor of the three eastern provinces, the Beiyang Army of the Three Towns brought several radio stations along the way.

Therefore, as soon as the Liaodong Army appeared outside Fengtian City, the imperial court and Yuan Shikai received the news.

Whether it was the Beiyang Army in the five towns or the three eastern provinces, the imperial court and Yuan Shikai had to be saved.

However, saving people means sending troops to reinforce the three eastern provinces, and sending troops means that the imperial court needs time.

As long as Wang Hu can catch up with the imperial court before the imperial court, block the only way for the imperial court to reinforce the three eastern provinces.

As long as the goal is achieved, with the strength of nearly 10,000 elites in one division, even if the imperial court sends 50,000 elites, it will be impossible to enter the three eastern provinces in a short time. And the Liaodong Army can take advantage of this time to encroach on the three eastern provinces step by step and take the three eastern provinces as its own.

As soon as the Liaodong Army Headquarters received Wang Hu's telegram, Sun Liechen sent it to Yang Xingguo as soon as possible.

"Wang Hu's move is good, as long as it is timely enough, the entire three eastern provinces will belong to my Liaodong Army." As soon as he saw the telegram sent by Wang Hu, Yang Xingguo smiled, and then said with admiration and emotion.

"There are also five towns of the Beiyang Army, except for those who died in battle and those who could not join us, there is no problem at all in forming three divisions."

"Commander, you agree with Commander Wang's suggestion." Chief of Staff Sun Liechen's eyes lit up and he immediately asked.

Yang Xingguo thought about it and replied: "Agree, of course I agree." What we thought at the time was that even if Wang Hu could take Fengtian, the army of the five towns of Fengtian would abandon Fengtian City and retreat to other places after losing troops, slowing down our attack little by little, consuming us by the way, and waiting for the imperial court to draw reinforcements from Guannei. ”

"Now it seems that we all underestimated Wang Hu and Zhang Shanlin. It only took one day to take Fengtian and eat the troops of the five towns of the Beiyang Army, which can definitely be called an unprecedented victory. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo's face also became fanatical, and he continued to Sun Liechen: "Chief of Staff, you may not have realized how rich the entire three eastern provinces are. I am sure that as long as we can completely digest the three eastern provinces and develop the three eastern provinces, it will not be a problem at all to feed the 300,000 Liaodong troops just by relying on the income of the three eastern provinces. ”

Sun Liechen still didn't believe it, after all, the three eastern provinces were barren and sparsely populated in the eyes of many people. No one could have imagined that after a short period of development, the three eastern provinces would become as rich as Yang Xingguo said.

However, Sun Liechen still replied very briskly: "No matter whether the three eastern provinces have so much potential, if we can take this opportunity to win the three eastern provinces, the price is still so small, we must grasp it." ”

Speaking of this, Sun Liechen changed his words and continued.

"However, with our current strength, wanting to take down the entire three eastern provinces is tantamount to a snake swallowing an elephant. After all, our forces are too small, and with our limited strength, we have to draw at least two divisions to defend the Japanese army in Lushun, and we have even fewer troops to move. ”
