The long-range bombardment of the 122mm howitzer suddenly began, and the accuracy of the first test shot was controlled within a radius of 50 meters, and it was only about 10 meters away from directly hitting the tower of Guancheng.

Most of the Qing troops squatting on it were old oilmen who had experienced the Great War in Liaodong, and there were not a few who had seen the heavy artillery of the revolutionary army attacking the city.

A violent explosion blasted a hole two meters in diameter under the base of the wall, and several houses shattered in response. Fragments of shells and shattered wood and bricks smashed into the walls, carving out craters of various sizes. The wave of fire and light that folded and impacted rose obliquely against the wall, bringing up a whistling dust mist over the battlement, pulling out a terrifying and irritable heat wave that swept through every inch of the gap!

The deafening roar, the earth shook and the mountains trembled, making the Qing army in the city pee their pants! As soon as the flash stopped, the wind swept by, and the veterans got up and turned their heads and ran!

Some of the inexperienced recruits were dizzy and stunned, and some veterans couldn't make up their minds and hesitated there, and the good-eyed old guy kicked over and scolded loudly: "What the hell are you waiting for?!" Thinking about eating cannonballs and blowing them up into seventeen or eighteen pieces, how can you drop it?! Run Wow! ”

Here is still hesitating: "Isn't it?" The commander hasn't spoken yet, and if he escapes without permission, he will have to eat military law and lose his head. Can't we hide it? ”

The veteran grabbed his neck and twisted it left and right: "You stupid fool take a look yourself, there is still a chief there?!" I slipped away a long time ago, and I ran with Lao Tzu as hell. Look for death casually! ”

This is also a brotherhood. The quick-witted veterans took the risk of pulling a few nice guys to run together. The rest are those who don't know what to do. If you have a bag, where will you die if you love him!

Zhang Zuolin and Song Desheng thought that their agreed deeds were secretive, but where could they hide from these veterans? The gossip has long been flying all over the sky, not to mention the fluctuation of people's hearts, and there is no way to mention combat effectiveness or anything.

Just when the roar of the test-fired shells was still lingering, and the old soldiers of the Qing army were flashing, Zhang Zuolin had already put the old brothers who had joined the army with him. Dozens of iron buddies who made friends later gathered together, put on a heart-to-heart posture and said: "Brothers, you have also seen the formation outside, the revolutionary army is going to attack the city. Brother, I sent a letter to the past to think about surrendering, but people don't look down on us at all, no, it's going to be hit! ”

"Huh?! How can this be? What can't you say? It took no shot or bullet to take Shanhaiguan, how much credit is this, could it be that the brains of those soldiers below are broken? ”

A group of old brothers who are waiting for promotion and fortune are a little dumbfounded. They originally wanted to be similar to Zhang Zuolin, and they all took advantage of this rare opportunity to sell Guan Cheng and these hundreds of brothers to each other. Take this as the basis for promotion, and go to the opposite side to mix an official and a half-job.

In the past, there were wars. It seems that this is the same rule. Nie Shicheng's tens of thousands of people were served in one pot, weren't there many of them who secretly took refuge in advance? That shows that the revolutionary army recognizes this set. How did the rules change when we got here?

Zhang Zuolin himself didn't know the root cause, but he had to entrap these people, and he didn't hesitate at all on his face, and said categorically: "I think it's because people dislike us for being too low in background and too poor in our position, and we are ten percent sure that we will capture Guancheng." The generals in charge of the army want to take credit beautifully, and they can't say that they need a bunch of heads to show their merits. ”

The crowd panicked. Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of good and meritorious things in war. When there is a complete certainty of victory, the attacking side will not risk being countered to surrender the enemy army. It's good to say that you can increase your strength by getting it in, but it's cumbersome to understand, and it's better to cut off your head as a military merit.

These Qing soldiers all know what kind of material they are, and Su zhì, who has gone from official to soldier, is 108,000 miles worse than the revolutionary army, why do you want people to treat you equally?

Zhang Zuolin watched coldly, seeing that everyone could no longer think calmly, he was secretly proud in his heart, and added fire: "Now that the revolutionary army has many generals, and Yang Dashuai has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, the entire Qing Dynasty and foreigners can't resist him, so naturally they don't look at us in their eyes." Besides, we still have all the bosses above, and it is better to give them if they want to sell favors. In addition, even if we can surrender to the past, we will probably have to start from the small soldiers. I said, brothers, can you live with it? ”

"How can that be! Anyway, it's also the credit of the city, and you can't give it to an official? ”

"That's it, I just say that I can go up, and there are those who pull down, I can't say it!"

Of course they are not happy, they themselves want to show their merits for a way to make money, and now they are also a shack chief, to say the least. If you surrender to the past, you can't be an official, be a big soldier, be managed by others, and you can't do it.

The so-called people gather like like, Zhang Zuolin is an ambitious goods, and the friends he has made are not far behind. When I heard that the road ahead was not going through, my heart was not happy.

At this moment, the first shell suddenly exploded, and Rao is they were still shaken in the bunker a hundred and ten meters away, and many people's faces turned white.

Zhang Zuolin took the opportunity to play and waved his arm vigorously: "The brothers have seen it, right?" At this time, there is no other way to go, and going up to the hard top is a dead end! For today's plan, the only way to get out is to get out as soon as possible! ”

Few of the people had more eyes than him, and at this time they were panicked by the explosion, and unconsciously pinned the hope of liberation on him, and said nonsense: "My lord, you have always had an idea, just talk about what to do!" Let's all listen to you! ”

"Yes, yes! Follow the leading goose to fly far. Master Zhang's eyes are bright and his righteousness is deep, and he will definitely not make our brothers suffer! ”

Zhang Zuolin's eyes swept over them, revealing the ruthlessness in his bones, and nodded: "Okay!" Since the brothers can trust Zhang, then I will not shirk. My idea is that let's withdraw back in the name of reporting the news first, and go straight to Shengjing to report to the General's Mansion! If only there was a big reward over there. Let's stay there and see what's going on. If the general doesn't want to see him. Let's pull the pole and go into the mountain. Stand on your own! As long as we can build up momentum, when the revolutionary army hits there, the deep mountains and old forests will not be able to bear us, so we have to recruit peace! When the time comes, you will have officials and officials, and you will have money! ”

When he said this, many people's eyes suddenly lit up.

That's right! To be an official, kill people and set fire to be recruited! It's better than surrendering in battle. It's really better to be up and down and then be recruited to be presentable. Now they only have a dozen people and seven or eight guns under their hands, even if they want to betray the country, it will not be their turn to be these little shrimps.

But if you set up a banner, it's different, if you make a big deal, it's also a prince! It's not something that can be dealt with at a normal price.

In addition, they are also interested in other things. It is said that the revolutionary army has strict military law, and the people who have gone up and down are the same as monks. The training of two exercises a day makes people want to die or live, and instead of suffering that sin, it is better to go into the mountains to be a handkerchief. When the time comes, how refreshing it is to drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl!

Time. A warm atmosphere began to spread among the crowd.

Seeing that the plan had succeeded, Zhang Zuolin ordered while the iron was hot: "Since the brothers think that they have done it, without further ado, everyone hurry up and pack up their things, especially guns and ammunition, and as many supplies as they can take!" When you get to the mountains, you can only hold down the position if there are more guns! ”

Everyone responded with a bang: "Yes, yes! Your Excellency is right! That's it! ”

The army outside pressed the border, the artillery bombarded over, everyone knew that it was impossible to defend this place anymore, and the head melon seeds were not as good as Zhang Zuolin.

Zhang Zuolin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and stared in the direction of the outside of the city for a long time, gritted his teeth, his cheeks were hideous, and he whispered fiercely: "I don't believe it, I can't do it without your revolutionary army!" There is always one, I want you to see clearly, I, Zhang Zuolin, am not a bad breed who can be humiliated at will! ”

Outside the city, another test-fired artillery shell hit, but this time it fell on the inner layer of the city wall, and the smoke of the explosion spread on all sides, causing a panic! The Qing army, who was trembling and cowering in the bunker, was already frightened, and could not afford to resist at all. The sentinels hid nowhere to be seen, the battalion officers were gone, the soldiers were gone, and the soldiers were without their backbone, and they didn't know how to show goodwill.

The veterans ran away in groups, and the rest of them didn't take long to lose their strength and fled to the inner city one after another. This qiē was clearly seen by a lookout post in a hot air balloon high in the sky, and it was immediately reported to the command headquarters by radio.

At this time, Zhu Maolin, the commander of the artillery regiment directly under the command of heavy firepower, was gearing up there, preparing to destroy the ancient fortified city in front of him with ferocious artillery fire, and write a brilliant song for his military career. Unexpectedly, only two school shells were fired, and there was no one on the city wall! Immediately after, a telegram was sent from the headquarters, asking him to suspend the bombardment and wait for orders.

Zhu Maolin was anxious, grabbed the phone and asked: "I said what's the matter, this is, the attack order has been issued, and the shells have entered the chamber, you told me not to fight, is this blind?" ”

Yang Hao took the phone and scolded the past: "Don't say strange things!" There is a new change in the situation, there is no one in the front position, what shells are there ?! Wait steadfastly, there will be a time when you can make a difference. ”

Zhu Maolin hung up unhappily, his heart was ruthless, and he would definitely give him a good look if he caught the bastard who was making trouble in front of him in the future!

Yang Hao himself was wondering. Although he rejected Zhang Zuolin's plan to feint and sacrifice the city, he subconsciously thought that it would have to go through a struggle to succeed. Unexpectedly, as soon as I heard the sound of cannons, the last elite of the Qing army in front of me, who had dared to charge in the face of the Japanese army, actually ran away! What's going on!

But he couldn't guess that Zhang Zuolin, a battalion officer on the front line, actually escaped from the battle, and ran away with a group of backbones. Because of the relationship between the military system, the Qing army has always relied on the battalion officers as the core to fight wars, and hundreds of people are entangled in a group to fight. As soon as the battalion officers are not seen in the battle, the soldiers will panic and even collapse.

In the war against Japan, their practice of gathering hedgehogs together caused a lot of casualties, and they could not even line up a skirmish, so you can imagine how inefficient it was.

What made Yang Hao even more upset was that not long after the second shell went off, several white flags actually stretched out from the city wall. It was mostly made of gowns and shirts, and it was waved indiscriminately from the battlements, so that the infantry regiments below that had already entered the charging posture were stunned!

"Can this be believed? Are they going to surrender in person? Or are you deliberately digging a pit waiting for us to jump in? ”

Yang Hao pondered for a long time and couldn't make up his mind. Turned his head and asked Shi Jianfei.

Shi Jianfei's face turned blue. The old troops of the Qing army in front. It's the part of him that he came from. Song Qing, the boss at the top, and under him is Ma Yukun and Song Victory, who once faced the strong soldiers who dared to fight bravely in the face of the Japanese army. It's good now, the white flag was erected without a single shot, and the shame was thrown home!

Yang Hao could generally understand his heartache, and patted his shoulder to reassure: "Shiyi time passes, the situation will always change, and you don't have to go to your heart." Look at the good. This is a contradiction among the people, and it can be resolved peacefully, and it is better than fighting to the death. The person on the other side may have the national righteousness in his heart, and he doesn't want to hurt the country's vitality too much, so he is willing to lower his figure. ”

Shi Jianfei knew that this was just saying something nice. I'm afraid that the real situation is that the group of bears on the other side who are already rotten are frightened, and they simply don't even have the heart to fight for the last time.

He breathed heavily a few times and smiled reluctantly: "The commander-in-chief doesn't need to be comforted, I can figure it out." The enemy should not have the guts to set a trap. This must be a real surrender. ”

Yang Hao nodded, turned around and gave an order.

Not much. The first-line attacking troops divided into a battalion and rushed through the buildings under the city to the gate.

Shanhaiguan itself is built for external defense, and the inner side is for convenience, without too many obstacles. The revolutionary infantry did not even see a bunker along the way, so they went to the city smoothly and rushed up the stairs, separating the left and right like flowing water, and as a result, except for the capture of more than 200 soldiers who laid down their arms, not a single one raised their guns to fight.

On the contrary, those Qing soldiers saw the fierce revolutionary soldiers rushing up, brandishing their guns and shouting orders, as if they had seen a savior, and they squatted on the ground with a sigh of relief, consciously holding their heads and waiting for placement. Many of the bolder ones spun their heads around, watching as the warriors quickly broke through every obstacle with standard and sharp movements.

There were even some nervous and envious people who looked at the equipment around the soldiers, and asked with a grin: "I said brother, if we also voted for you, we can also do this guy's thing, right?" The clothes on this head and the feet are all good things, ah....... ”

The little soldiers didn't expect the veteran oil to be so out of tune, and their heads were clouded when they were asked, so they had to scold with a straight face: "What kind of nonsense, be honest!" ”

Of course, being praised by the enemy shows that we have advantages, and at the moment we are also reserved and even arrogant, and the little face can't hide the excitement and pouts: "It's not so easy to enter the revolutionary army." We must have sufficient consciousness, we must have the spirit of dedicating ourselves to the revolutionary cause, and we must still more go through serious study and assiduous training in order to become a qualified modern soldier. You're far from it! ”

The soldiers nodded frequently, in fact, he couldn't understand any consciousness spirit at all, but he felt that it must be a very difficult condition to achieve, and it looked very powerful.

In addition, people who are a little more sensitive can also perceive that the spirit and spirit of the soldiers of the revolutionary army are completely different from them. That is a kind of "I am a soldier, I am proud" external temperament, which is completely different from the Qing army and even traditional officers and soldiers, "I have a knife in my hand, I am awesome".

This is exactly what they don't understand, they are all soldiers and eat food, who can be more noble than whom, look at the one who gave you to the sneer, probably because he thinks the guy in his hand is tough enough, so he is bold to speak?

The gap is all-encompassing. If the soldiers of the Qing army could see the difference, why did they decay to the point where they are now?

The strength of a battalion rapidly advanced under Nanguan, and there was no obstacle everywhere they went, easily cutting off their connection with the old dragon head battery.

At this time, the personal soldiers sent by Song Desheng came up with letters, gave up resistance, and surrendered.

Song Desheng was also helpless, he fooled Zhang Zuolin with his front foot, and began to think about how to end smoothly with his back foot. To tell the truth, he himself also wanted to get a result of "surrendering without the enemy", so as to avoid being angry with people related to him by the Qing court. In addition, the resistance should not be excessive, so as not to annoy the revolutionary army and make itself unlucky. How to grasp this proportion is really a science.

As soon as the cannon sounded, he was a little numb, and at this moment, his subordinates reported that Zhang Zuolin ran away with dozens of cronies! Song Desheng scolded loudly, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, the scapegoat was there. At that moment, he ordered the rest of the troops to hold their positions and not move rashly, and then waited for the revolutionary army to kill under their noses, and sent the letter of surrender without saying a word.

At the same time, he also got a telegram and sent it to Song Qing in Jinzhou, saying that "the non-inferior resistance is not effective, but there are villains under him who rebel in battle, so that the enemy army succeeds lightly" Yunyun, in short, he has no responsibility at all.

So, before it was completely dark, Shanhaiguan had been completely captured. From beginning to end, there were zero casualties, and both the revolutionary army and the Qing army exchanged positions with an incredible appearance.

Yang Hao and Shi Jianfei looked at the sand table full of chess pieces in the command center in a daze, and their hearts were extremely ridiculous, and they didn't know whether to cry or laugh. It took them so long to prepare, and they did not know how many times they performed various war chess deductions, but none of them were used. This battle is really interesting!

More interesting is yet to come. After capturing Guancheng, after a night of repairs, the forward troops advanced non-stop, but they rushed all the way to Ningyuan City without encountering any resistance. When the large army lined up under the city, Ma Yukun, the chief soldier of the town guard, suddenly "fell ill" for some reason, and the troops under his command abandoned the city and fled after a few moments without resistance, and all retreated to Jinzhou.
