Chapter 131: Occupy the Yingshang
On Han Zheng's side, several people have been paying attention to the news of the front front, looking at the enemy's city wall and the offensive of their own army with binoculars.
The effect of the demolition team was very good, all the way under the cover of strong firepower, almost encountered no obstacles and walked half of the distance, until the sound of artillery fire stopped for a while, Xiang Jie, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out with his own people with a roar.
That posture is really like a tiger coming out of the mountain, Jiaolong crossing the sea, as chic and domineering as he wants, but his domineering has not completely exploded, and the demolition team over there has not yet rushed under the city wall, Han Zheng saw from the telescope that a burst of fighting suddenly broke out on the local city wall, followed by gunshots and fighting!
Han Zheng was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but breathe sluggishly, and then stared at that side, not long after, Han Zheng finally saw some signs, only to find out where this is the other party's counterattack that is not afraid of death, but there seems to be civil strife on the city wall!
At this time, Xiang Jie had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and finally discovered the abnormality, the domineering spirit he had just saved had not yet been discharged, and when he saw the turmoil above, he was almost suffocated into emphysema!
The demolition team also came to the city, and the enemy bullets that crossed their sides were gone, as if they had become outsiders in this war, and this change made them not know what to do, and everyone couldn't help but look at me, I look at you, and finally decided not to bomb.
At this time, whether to blow up the city gate or not will have little impact on the entire battle situation, if it is blown up, it will not be a waste of explosives, and if you can't get it back, you will have to rebuild the city wall.
If you want to say that the most aggrieved person at this time, it is estimated that it is Xiang Jie.
Xiang Jie can be said to have snatched this opportunity to take the lead in attacking the city from the hands of several other people, this side has just stored up his strength, but that side is good, he has done it first, he has become an outsider, so he is not depressed.
Just like when the four people fought the landlord, they were ready to eat all three, and when they did a lot of work, they suddenly found that the other three people were infighting, and they didn't have to shoot themselves to win, and the most unwilling thing was that there were several explosions in their hands that had not yet been shot!
"Brothers, rush!" Xiang Jie frowned and thought about it unwillingly, and finally decided to have a good time.
Xiang Jie shouted, woke up his subordinates who were also stunned, and rushed forward with his head again with a roar.
The demolition team saw that the soldiers behind them were following, and since they didn't plan to blow up and loot, they had to blow up the city gate, so that the loss would be smaller.
As soon as he gritted his teeth and put all the bombs at the city gate, he was about to ignite them, but who knew that a few soldiers tried to push the city gate at random, and the city gate was opened, followed by dozens of local defenders who came out!
This frightened them, and when they were about to light the fire first, the dozen or so people on the other side saw that their eyes lit up, and they raised their hands and said: "We surrender!" ”
Then in the annoyed eyes of Xiang Jie behind him, more than a dozen members of the lively demolition team took over the city gate and became the first batch of Han Zhengjun to enter the city! The second regiment had no choice but to rush into Yingshang County in the back.
Han Zheng saw the whole thing clearly with a telescope, such a dramatic scene really shocked him, and even the few people around him who saw this scene looked ahead with their mouths open, dumbfounded, and didn't know what expression to make.
"Ahem, the second regiment is really brave, the defenders in these places seem to be really incomparable with the southern army, the gap is too big, the shells will surrender as soon as they are smashed, and the city gates will be opened for us, but there is no taste in fighting."
Han Zheng put down the binoculars and said to Chen Feng and the others beside him, everyone nodded with deep sympathy, remembering that those demolition teams picked up a big bargain for nothing, although the credit is not big, but this glory is real!
"The regular army in the south has been crushed, and these are nothing more than a rabble, which has long been frightened. However, there will still be many tough battles to be fought with the Southern Army in the next few days. Chen Feng replied to Han Zheng thoughtfully.
Han Zheng nodded, recognized the other party's words, and then ordered the herald beside him: "Tell Xiang Jie in front that after the troops enter the city, collect the chaotic army, prohibit harassment of the local people, and if there are those who take advantage of the chaos to rob, they will be shot on the spot, and after capturing the leader of the enemy army, hurry up and take over the city defense, and hold a meeting at eight o'clock in the evening!" ”
After finishing speaking, Han Zheng rode on his war horse and led the rear team of men and horses to the county seat.
This siege battle, which originally seemed to have to be fought, ended dramatically like this, and it was even faster than Han Zheng expected to end.
After the last southern army in the city resisted for a while at first, they had to break through through the other gate, but Han Zheng did not stop it, as for the local defenders, their families were all here, so naturally they would not leave like the southern army, most of them put down their guns and raised their hands to surrender.
When Xiang Jie entered the city, he saw that many places in the city were set on fire, and there were headless flies everywhere, and even the local gangsters who looted property from the people's rooms from time to time could be seen, and the fire in the county magistrate's residence in the center of the city was even more blazing!
Xiang Jie didn't say much, according to the previous practice, he directly sent people to collect the chaotic army on the head of the city, take over the city wall, guard the city gate, and welcome the arrival of the commander of the follow-up army.
At the same time, he personally took his own guards and regimental guard companies to walk directly into the city, and when he encountered a robbery that took advantage of the chaos, he was shot directly, and when he encountered the location of the fire, he would quickly organize personnel to extinguish it.
The chaos in the city was suppressed by Xiang Jie himself, and the rebel troops scattered all over the city were pulled out, robbed while the fire was burning, and those who caused the chaos were also shot, and the chaos gradually stabilized, and the shouts of killing in the city gradually subsided.
But when Xiang Jie arrived in the center of the city, the entire county magistrate's compound had been burned to the ground, leaving only a few blackened walls, and the surrounding rebels had already fled!
It turned out that after these rebels rebelled, they wanted to find this blood-sucking county magistrate and plundered it fiercely, and a large number of soldiers killed the officers who stopped them, and rushed directly here.
But the county magistrate's compound is still quite strong after all, plus there are some cronies of the county magistrate guarding it, and after a few shocks, they didn't rush in, and the red-eyed rebel army finally burned the county magistrate's courtyard cleanly, so that Xiang Jie, who saw this situation, jumped straight in his heart, and his face was flushed with anger, how many good things will be burned by this fire!
At eight o'clock in the evening of the 29th, with the capture of Yingshang, the planned plans and goals of Han Zheng's troops had all been achieved, and his territory had been connected into a semicircle to confront the south, and there was no longer the threat of the left and right flanks, and the territory had expanded by more than three or four times!
The three reinforced regiments concentrated on the Yingshang line into a tiger pounce, awe-inspiring towards the enemy in the direction of Bengbu!
At the same time, Han Zheng sent a reconnaissance force to reconnoiter the movement of Bengbu with the Civil Affairs Department overnight, and finally knew the exact number of enemy troops in the direction of Bengbu, and the southern army in Bengbu already had a full four regiments of troops at this time, and the total strength was about 1,000 more than Han Zheng, and it also gathered a battalion of artillery troops and several reinforced machine gun companies!
It seems that Bai Wenwei wants to have a lion fight rabbit and quickly pacify Anhui, it seems that the failure of Shanghai has caused him a great sense of urgency and threat, and he seems to know that there is not much time left for him to take Anhui land!
On July 30, 13, Han Zheng's army stopped advancing on the Yingshang line, and officially started a positional battle with the southern army, Han Zheng did not want his soldiers to suffer large casualties, his army was established for too short a time, and no one knew what would happen once it suffered large-scale casualties.
And as long as I stick to the front line of Yingshang for about ten days now, it is estimated that that thing will happen, and when the time comes, I will be able to seize the opportunity to enrich some southern veterans. (To be continued.) )
