Chapter 378: Annihilation Again
Along the way, Liu Zhennian gathered a lot of defeated soldiers, in the mouth of the defeated soldiers, Linzi County's firepower seems to be very strong, not only can there be a machine gun, but also a caliber of more than 100 mm howitzers, how is this possible, how can the equipment of the militia be better than the regular army, even the Nanjing government's Northern Expeditionary Army may not have such good equipment, he already has a reasonable explanation for these people's rhetoric in his heart, that is, the defeated soldiers are afraid of being punished for defeat, and deliberately exaggerate the firepower of the Linzi County militia.
There are more than one person in the Jiaodong Brigade who has the same idea as Liu Zhennian, many people have been blinded by the cavalry regiment, the cavalry regiment was Liu Zhennian's baby bump, asking for money to give money to guns to guns, a group of arrogant soldiers, not taking other regiments in their eyes at all, and now they are defeated so badly, and they have calculated the evil spirit in their chests, in addition, those regiment commanders and battalion commanders are gearing up one by one, ready to show their hands when they capture Linzi.
When the army arrived at the city of Linzi, the sky was already dark, the staff officers of the brigade headquarters set up camp that night to rest, and attacked again in the early morning of the second day, and hit Linzi County by surprise, Liu Zhennian held a telescope, observed the situation of Linzi City from a distance for a while, and felt that there was nothing peculiar about their garrison, the only thing that made people wonder was that it was pitch black on the city wall, there was no light, and there was a rout to report immediately.
"That's it, it was the same when we came last night, and when we touched it, those dogs were waiting for us with guns in their hands."
Liu Zhennian pursed his lips and said in his heart, this is a dug pit waiting for you to jump there, and that fool of Liu Guizi can be fooled, and then snorted coldly: "Those fools in Linzi City, do you think that the same hurdle can trip people twice?" Then he pointed to the adjutant, "Put out all our 41 mountain cannons, and the cannons will bombard me fiercely, and first blow up the earthen wall." ”
The infantry reorganized the camp, and the artillerymen pushed the mountain artillery down to the suitable position, and then adjusted the shooting of Zhu Yuan.
"Please tell me something, shoot now, bomb the fuck."
After the artillery of the Jiaodong Brigade got the order, several mountain guns fired a salvo, the sound was shocking, and the shells fell on the city wall and exploded a piece of gravel and soil.
After about half an hour of bombardment, the city wall has been blown beyond recognition, but there is still no movement, Liu Zhennian secretly thought, the militia should not have fled until the Jiaodong brigade was unstoppable, so he decided to test it.
"Send a company up first, reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and if you go to the city, the brothers will go into the city for dinner and sleep with the girls."
When the tentative soldiers of the Jiaodong Brigade climbed to the top of the city, what they were worried about was nothing, the female wall was empty, and there was no ambush as described by the cavalry regiment, and the narrow passage of the city wall had been blown up with potholes, full of gravel and earth, and they waved their hands at the receiving men and horses under the city by the light of torches, indicating that there was no danger.
The soldiers outside the city also climbed to the city when they saw this scene, Liu Zhennian held a telescope in the distance to observe, the actions of the soldiers under his command, although he has always advocated the careful use of soldiers, but Chengli is a militia after all, and even the city wall has given up what tricks can be played, and besides, even if they want to play tricks and have the capital to play, the militia that has lost the support of the city wall is not a piece of fat to be rubbed.
It wasn't until a large number of soldiers climbed the city wall and jumped down from the inside that Liu Zhennian's heart was relieved, and a small group of soldiers who jumped off the city wall and entered the city looked for the direction of the city wall, but they were surprised that there was no city gate in Linzi at all, to be precise, the city gate had been rammed with earth and sandbags, and some people laughed: "The city is lost, and there is a damn use for blocking the gate, go to Zhan County ...... first."
"I heard that there is a provincial chairman appointed from the south living in Linzi City, let's go catch this big fish first."
They quickly reached an agreement, and the soldiers of the Jiaodong Brigade who entered the city in 6 consecutive ways, were about to kill the county government in the center of the city, the dark front suddenly raised a fire, and the entire inner side of the city wall was suddenly illuminated, and the fortifications built by the sandbags under the fire extended to both sides and could not see the end, and the people behind the sandbags did not give the Jiaodong Brigade soldiers a chance to think about observation and attack, and the light and heavy machine guns opened fire in unison, and the fire net woven in an instant swept down a group of people, and the unlucky eggs who had jumped into the city had no way to escape, so they could only let the bullets harvest their lives.
The soldiers on the city wall who did not have time to jump into the city were glad for a while, thanks to their own slow step, otherwise they would have been beaten into a sieve now, this happiness lasted less than a minute, and the cannonballs fell on the city wall like eyes like hailstones, this time the shelling came more violently, more intensively, like ploughing the ground, back and forth, left and right, not letting go of any dead end.
Liu Zhennian shouted anxiously: "What's the matter with the artillery, your own people are still on the city wall, don't open fire, don't open fire." ”
The adjutant ran up and down, his face full of horror.
"Brigade commander, not our artillery."
"Not our artillery."
Liu Zhennian didn't react for a while, who could it be if it wasn't their artillery, and after a few seconds, he suddenly lost his voice and said: "Could it be the artillery in Linzi City." ”
He once again raised the binoculars to observe the situation on the city wall, at this time there was no longer a standing Jiaodong Brigade soldier on the city wall, the shells were still based on the city wall, repeated bombardment before and after, Liu Zhennian's heart was dripping blood, and in the blink of an eye, a regiment was explained like this, what kind of militia was stationed in Linzi City.
If the army is withdrawn at this time, that regiment will die in vain, but if the army is not withdrawn to continue the attack, the strength of the Linzi defenders is not known and is likely to face greater casualties, and finally weighed, he still issued an attack order, after the artillery in Linzi City stopped bombarding the city wall, the Jiaodong Brigade rushed up under Liu Zhennian's order, and the sound of charging and shouting to kill penetrated the sky, their fate was not better than those before, and after they climbed the city wall and jumped into the city, they were faced with a level of firepower woven by light and heavy machine guns, And when they wanted to retreat, it was too late to regret it.
In the meeting room of the Tai'an Provisional Provincial Government, the big guys are talking about it, and today's Qilu Daily published a news that shocked everyone, it is said that Wu Xiaoliang, who went to Linzi to form another provincial government, defeated the mixed brigade of Jiaodong's elite Liu Zhennian with a small militia group, and captured alive more than 30 officers below Liu Zhennian, which caused everyone to sigh with emotion.
"The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrible."
"I heard that he also started land reform in Linzi, and he was impressive......
"Listening to what Brother Fang said, I really want to go to Linzi to see what is going on......
Han Fuyu had been unable to take care of the provincial government meeting for many days because of the infighting in the Northwest Army, and Feng Yuxiang reduced his troops to divisions, and he was busy preserving his strength, which made the provincial government bigwigs who were already prejudiced against him even more dissatisfied.
