Chapter 661: Both Loses
Soon, the Mongol cavalry, which had left corpses all over the ground, rushed in front of the Liaodong army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, if you hit with a rifle, at most two more rounds of bullets, the Mongol cavalry with the saber raised will be able to rush in front of you.
The flanks of the blocking positions, in addition to the machine guns, continued to fire interceptor bullets at the Mongol cavalry. The rifleman was left behind, and after quickly firing the bullet from the chamber, he easily pulled out a grenade from his waist.
Skillfully pull the strings, and then, with all your might, throw them at the Mongol cavalry.
After the explosion of the distance sounded, the Mongol cavalry that rushed to the front was immediately shrouded in gunsmoke.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Mongolian cavalry were blown to the ground.
But the Mongolian cavalry behind was not frightened, and with the fastest assault speed, they quickly rushed through the smoke of gunpowder, shouting slogans that the forward battalion did not understand, raising their sabers and rushing towards the forward battalion with a roar.
At a distance of less than thirty meters, for a cavalry that charges quickly, it can be rushed in three seconds.
So, it's too late to keep throwing grenades.
In the case that there was no way to retreat, the platoon commanders at all levels could only hold their rifles and bayonets, ready to fight with the Mongolian cavalry.
"Boom, boom......" A dull crashing sound sounded on the battlefield, and the Mongolian cavalry that rushed over at high speed directly knocked dozens of forward battalion soldiers who were blocking the front. Then, under the strong inertia of the cavalry, he raised his saber and slaughtered the Liaodong Army that he collided with at will.
The positions on both flanks were broken through by the Mongol cavalry, and a company that was in front of it was also broken by the Mongol cavalry in less than half a minute.
In front of the Mongolian cavalry with their sabers raised, although most of the soldiers in the forward battalion had rifles with good bayonets in their hands, it was difficult to threaten them, and they could only watch the Mongolian cavalry high above raise their swords and fall and separate their corpses.
More than 2,000 Mongolian cavalry dealt with a cavalry battalion with a total strength of only about 700 people, and it was also the closest combat that the Mongolian cavalry was best at. In less than half a minute, the forward battalion was completely slaughtered.
When Wang Hu hurried to the battlefield with the main force, the battle was already over.
The battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood, and everywhere there were stumps and severed arms that had been cut off by sabers, and even meat mash that had been trampled by horses' hooves, which was very bloody.
As for the Mongol cavalry, except for the nearly a thousand corpses left on the battlefield, all the rest slipped away.
As for the weapons and ammunition equipped by the forward battalion, they were also completely looted by the Mongol cavalry and all taken away.
Without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, a single forward battalion was wiped out. This is not only a shame for the First Army of the Liaodong Army, but also a shame for Wang Hu, the commander of the First Army.
After slamming his clenched fist into a tree trunk that had been cut off in the battle next to him, he scolded angrily: "I, Wang Hu, swear here that I will not take revenge and will not give up!" ”
"Continue to advance towards Tongliao, and the Mongol cavalry that ate our forward battalion must have withdrawn to Tongliao. The hasty march rushed to Tongliao, surrounded the city of Tongliao, and destroyed them. ”
The Mongol cavalry, which was missing a large section, returned to Tongliaocheng in only an hour.
I saw a large number of weapons and ammunition brought back by the Mongolian cavalry, and even found heavy machine guns and light machine guns that the Beiyang Army was rarely equipped with. The defender, who was also the standard commander of the Beiyang Army, immediately walked over to the Mongolian cavalry commander with a smile, ready to congratulate the other party, and by the way, he asked for the weapons and ammunition they brought back to his own hands to further strengthen the firepower of the garrison troops.
However, before he could speak, he saw the bloody cavalry commander striding towards him with anger.
"General Wang, the Liaodong Army is too capable of fighting, and my 3,000 cavalry assaulted more than 700 of them, but they almost didn't succeed. If it weren't for the quick reaction of Ben General, even if he changed his tactics, it would have been impossible to eat the forward battalion of the Liaodong Army. The cavalry commander with a rough face said with a gloomy face when he saw the guard.
"However, my cavalry also suffered heavy losses, and more than 900 Mongol men died on the battlefield, and they did not even bring back their corpses."
The guard general was also stunned, he knew the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry. Unexpectedly, 3,000 Mongolian cavalry went to fight more than 700 Liaodong Army to fight so hard, and the losses were so great.
In addition to the shock, the good news that the Mongol cavalry had eliminated the forward battalion of the Liaodong Army gave him no good mood, and he began to worry about the next battle to defend the city.
However, the fears did not last long, and the defenders regained their confidence.
Because Wang Hu had already surrounded Fengtian City when he took Fengtian, not a single Beiyang army could escape. Therefore, the news that Fengtian was taken by the Liaodong Army did not leak out.
Although Tongliao was not far from Fengtian City, the Tongliao garrison did not know that Fengtian had fallen.
In the eyes of the defenders, Fengtian City, which has the Beiyang Army of the Five Towns, should have no problem at all, not to mention defeating the Liaodong Army besieging him, defending Fengtian City, and ensuring that Fengtian City is unbreakable.
As long as Mukden is still in the hands of the Beiyang Army, plus the reinforcements sent by the imperial court are already on the way.
As long as they hold Tongliao by themselves, the Liaodong army that attacks them is likely to be attacked by the enemy and fall into a desperate situation.
If you do it well, maybe you can take advantage of this excellent situation to fight a war of annihilation for the Liaodong Army. When the time comes, with his military exploits, a co-commander will definitely be indispensable.
Just when the Tongliao defenders were dreaming and began to arrange troops to defend the city to meet the attack of the Liaodong Army.
Wang Hu, who had marched all the way, finally saw the not-so-high city walls of Tongliao City.
After a pair of eyes quickly shot out two murderous gazes, Wang Hu decisively ordered: "The first battalion of the second regiment is responsible for the north gate, the second battalion is responsible for the west gate, and the third battalion is responsible for the east gate. ”
"In addition, according to intelligence, the Tongliao defenders have a target Beiyang Army, equipped with a battalion of eighteen mountain artillery, while each of your battalions only has four mountain guns and six mortars. Therefore, don't be careless in battle, don't be bitten by the officers and soldiers, and there will be too many casualties. ”
"The third regiment, the military headquarters guard regiment, under the cover of the mountain artillery battalions of the two regiments, launched an attack directly from the south gate."
Wang Lin, the chief of staff who had already taken office, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted and reminded: "Commander, don't you persuade you to surrender?" We also brought Xu Shichang's handwritten letter stamped with the seal of the governor's palace of the three eastern provinces, and two officials of the governor's office. Do you want to persuade you to surrender first and then fight, maybe the guards will be afraid when they see the letter of persuasion we brought. ”
Thinking of the soldiers of the battalion who had been killed in battle, Wang Hu subconsciously wanted to refuse.
However, as soon as the words reached his mouth, he was swallowed back by Wang Hu himself.
