After ten minutes of standoff and firefighting, the commandos won because of the bunkers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the east gate was opened, a battalion of Liaodong troops rushed in.

Subsequently, more and more Liaodong troops began to pour into Fengcheng.

Finally retreated to the barracks, and more than 200 infantry were gathered around him again, Major General Sakai, and before he had time to rejoice, the news of the breakthrough of the eastern city reached his ears.

Subsequently, more and more bad news began to be sent to him.

"Report to the brigade commander, the brigade headquarters was occupied by the enemy, the chief of staff and all the guards units were killed!"

"Brigade commander, the arsenal is occupied by the enemy!"

"Brigade commander, the field artillery brigade is completely annihilated! The three squadrons reinforcing the East Gate encountered the enemy and were now engaged. But the enemy's firepower was strong and the number of troops was large, and the three squadrons could not hold back for too long. ”

"Report to the brigade commander, something happened to the garrison wing, more than 1,000 Koreans launched a riot, killed all the officers of the garrison wing, and escaped from the barracks!"

Seeing that there were still people rushing in at the door with panic, Major General Sakai immediately scolded: "Yaga, enough! Shut up! ”

"Tell me, is Fengcheng no longer able to hold on!"

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Sakai directly pointed to a Shaozuo and asked, "You say, is Fengcheng unable to hold it!" ”

Shao Zuo could only hold back the panic in his heart and replied: "There are only three other gates left in the entire Fengcheng City, and there are less than two thousand defenders!" The garrison wing formed by the Koreans rioted, the arsenal was occupied by the enemy, and the artillery was lost, and I didn't know if I could hold it! ”

"It's just that you can't hold it!" Major General Sakai was not so easy to fool and replied with a sneer.

In this case, surely no one would dare to take the words of Major General Sakai.

Listening to the gunfire that was getting closer and closer outside, although Major General Sakai was very unwilling, he could only answer helplessly: "I didn't expect that Fengcheng, which was held by a brigade, would be broken in just a few hours, I really didn't expect it!" ”

"Since Fengcheng can't hold it anymore, there's no point in continuing to fight!"

"Order the troops, immediately withdraw from the West Gate and move closer to the General Headquarters!"

A day later, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Dashan Yan, received the news that Fengcheng was occupied by the Liaodong Army.

At the same time, with Fengcheng as the center, the battle reports that more than ten surrounding counties were all occupied by the Liaodong Army were also sent to Dashanyan.

"Baga, the Liaodong Army is going to cut off the back road and material supply of tens of thousands of soldiers on our front line!" Dashan Yan stared at the map and said with a gloomy face.

Before the deputy chief of staff next to him could speak, Da Shanyan stared at a pair of eyes and continued to ask, "How is the situation on the chief of staff's side!" And our reinforcements, where they were, did they meet with the chief of staff! ”

The deputy chief of staff hurriedly replied: "I just received a telegram from the chief of staff that the three brigades and regiments that passed from Anshan have joined him, but because the offensive of the Liaodong Army is too strong, even with the reinforcements of the three brigades, the total strength in the hands of the chief of staff is less than 40,000!" ”

"The two divisions we sent out were blocked by the Liaodong Army at a position thirty miles away from the chief of staff, the enemy's firepower is very strong, and there are a large number of heavy artillery cover, the troops have suffered heavy losses, and they are attacking, and the total strength is still more than 20,000 people!"

"What about the remaining three brigades in the Anshan direction?"

The deputy chief of staff replied with a solemn face: "These three brigades are responsible for dragging down the Liaodong Army in the direction of Anshan. Because they don't have a radio station, it's not clear how they have enough troops! However, we deduce that their situation is not much better, after all, their firepower is not as good as that of the Liaodong Army! “

"Even if you can disperse and break out of the siege in front of the Liaodong Army, you can already thank God for coming back a brigade!"

"Baga, that is to say, no matter what, it is impossible for the chief of staff to defeat the Liaodong Army again!" Dashan Yan asked with an angry face, frowning.

"Hey! The firepower of the Liaodong Army is too strong, and we are not opponents at all. With the current strength of the chief of staff, at most he can only disperse and break out back! ”

"In addition, Fengcheng was lost, and tens of thousands of combat troops on the front line lost their ammunition supplies. With the ammunition they themselves carry, it's okay to hold out for two or three days. After a long time, the ammunition of these tens of thousands of troops is gone. When the time comes, not to mention defeating the Liaodong Army, you won't even be able to keep your own safety! ”

"In other words, if we lose Fengcheng, we have only one way to retreat! Bage Yalu, I didn't expect that my Dashanyan was defeated by the Liaodong Army again! Da Shanyan, who was holding back the anger in his stomach, scolded again.

Seeing that the deputy chief of staff did not speak, Da Shanyan, who had struggled in his heart, could only order: "Then retreat!" Send a telegram to the Chief of Staff and the reinforcements we have sent out, and immediately break through and retreat! ”

The deputy chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked: "Now that Fengcheng has been lost, the combat supply of tens of thousands of troops is very limited, I don't know which direction the commander-in-chief intends to let them retreat!" ”

"Is there a place to retreat, you are the deputy chief of staff, don't you have any ideas?" Da Shanyan scolded the deputy chief of staff angrily.

The deputy chief of staff blushed and hurriedly replied: "There are two directions, the Mukden direction and the Lushun direction." But I advise the troops to retreat in the direction of Arty.! ”

"After the Liaodong Army occupied Fengcheng, Fengtian and Lushun were cut off by the Liaodong Army, and Fengtian did not have so many combat materials to replenish tens of thousands of troops, and the troops retreated to Fengtian, still in the semi-encirclement of the Liaodong Army!"

"In addition, after the Liaodong Army occupied Fengcheng and other county seats, Fengtian, which we still occupy, became an isolated city. It will do us little benefit to stay the course. Therefore, I suggest that we immediately negotiate with the Great Qing State, return Fengtian to the Great Qing State, and ask the Great Qing State to order the Liaodong Army to let our Fengtian defenders pass through their defense area and return to Lushun! ”

"Why don't you negotiate directly with the Liaodong Army!" Dashan Yan subconsciously asked.

"As far as I know, the Liaodong Army is not the army of the Great Qing Kingdom, and the Qing Imperial Court has an order, will the Liaodong Army listen?"

A mysterious smile quickly flashed on the face of the deputy chief of staff, and he replied to Dashanyan: "If the Liaodong Army does not listen to the order, the attitude of the Qing Imperial Court towards the Liaodong Army will definitely change greatly." Coupled with the pressure of the empire, it is possible for the Qing court to directly attack the Liaodong Army for the sake of face! “

"As for the Fengtian garrison, Liaodong is so big, and the Liaodong Army has suffered heavy losses, as long as they don't do anything too radical, they will definitely be able to pass through the Liaodong Army Defense Area smoothly!"

Da Shanyan's eyes lit up and he replied: "That's it!" ”

Because of the radio station, it didn't take long for the chief of staff of the Japanese army to receive an order to retreat.

Because the troops in his hands were insufficient, he could not be satisfied with surrounding all the nearly 30,000 Japanese troops.

The Liaodong Army, commanded by Chief of Staff Sun Liechen, could only surround a little and eat a little of the Japanese army. In the face of the Japanese army that quickly began to retreat, in addition to eating the two brigades behind the Japanese palace, he could only watch the remaining Japanese troops slip away from under his nose.
