The next two days of fighting still revolved around the front-line position outside the east gate, without the slightest novelty, but it became increasingly intense, and the troops invested by both sides gradually increased, and the strength of the Mongolian bandits reached more than 2,000, and the heavy machine guns were basically put into the attack; The mixed regiment also invested more than 800 people, except for a few artillery pieces that were still silent, and the rest of the firepower that could be invested was also gathered around the east gate. At noon on the fourth day, the battle reached its climax, and the Mongolian bandits once captured most of the forward positions, and at the critical moment, the cavalry troops in the city were in a state of maneuver and rushed out of the city, driving the Mongolian bandits out of the forward positions again.

"Wen Ruo, call Ye Huichun over!" Tang Zhidao, who has been commanding the war in the corner tower at the head of the city, has been locking his brows more and more tightly in the past two days. In the eyes of laymen, it seems that in the past few days of fighting, the officers and soldiers in the city have the advantage, and the Mongolian bandit army has not even touched the city gate so far, and the casualties are more than 2,000, and the casualties of the officers and soldiers in the city are less than 200 people.

"Regiment commander, is this going to use artillery?" Du Shijie on the side asked suspiciously: "The current situation is still more favorable to us!" "He was slightly wounded in the battle two days ago, and was forcibly left in the city by Commander Tang, faithfully performing the duties of a regimental staff officer.

"Alas! It's our brothers who died, and I feel sorry! Tang Zhidao sighed and said, it is true that more than seventy percent of the officers and soldiers who have been killed and injured in the past few days are people from the second mixed regiment, and basically a company has been reimbursed, so it is not a good sign to continue, even if the opponent fights to keep Duolun City, it will be more than worth the loss for Tang Zhidao. This Babu Zab is really fucking dead-eyed, obviously this Duolun City is a hard walnut, and he still has to gnaw on it.

"Oh, the casualties of the first battalion are too great." Du Shijie also said gloomily, seeing the comrades-in-arms who had been with him day and night fall on the battlefield, no one felt uncomfortable, but they were just covered up by the great victories for several days.

"Runsheng, you inform Song Hualong and Wuyun Geri, and prepare to attack again!" Tang Zhidao said hatefully: "I want to completely dispel the hope of Babu Zabu entering Duolun from the east gate!" ”

"Report to the Captain!" YE HUICHUN, THE COMMANDER OF THE ARTILLERY COMPANY, FOLLOWED ZHOU WENRUO TO TANG ZHIDAO IN HIGH SPIRITS, WATCHING HIS BROTHERS FIGHT ON THE FRONT LINE, HE WAS SUFFOCATED THESE DAYS, ALTHOUGH HE ONLY HAD THREE SHANGHAI-MADE 47MM REAR-MOUNTED GUNS AND A 57MM HAN-MADE OLD CANNON IN HIS HANDS, WHICH WAS BASICALLY NEGLIGIBLE COMPARED TO THE 36 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS AND 18 75MM FIELD GUNS OF THE REGULAR DIVISION ARTILLERY REGIMENT.

"Here, it's time to see the performance of your artillery battery!" Tang Zhidao patted Ye Huichun on the shoulder and pointed to a small hill in the distance and said, "Are you sure to take out the enemy's heavy machine gun position?" ”

"No problem, the shooting coordinates outside the East City have already been determined!" Ye Huichun said confidently, these days have not participated in the war, it does not mean that the artillery company is idle, when others are busy digging trenches, they began to determine the shooting coordinates outside the city.

"Go down and prepare, wait for my orders!" Tang Zhidao nodded with satisfaction and ordered, although the equipment has been relatively poor in the past few months, he has not fallen behind in training under the leadership of Ye Huichun, a senior student of the artillery department of the Baoding Military Academy.

"Yes!" Ye Huichun saluted a military salute and ran down quickly, as if he was afraid that Regiment Commander Tang would regret it.

And the Mongolian bandits on the opposite side were not idle, although the failure of the attack again and again made them lose a lot, but also let Babu Zab and Jebe and others see the hope of victory, just now if the cavalry in the city suddenly rushed out to catch them by surprise, at this time should attack under the wall of Duolun. …,

"Dai Qin, as long as Jebe's men attack the position of the official army, your cavalry will follow up immediately!" Babu Zab was determined to launch a greater offensive and to reach the city walls before sunset today, sparing the best cavalry to do so.

"Good!" Dai Qin shook the dirty braid behind his head and responded: "The brothers under him have long been suffocated, and they have been looking forward to this day for a long time!" ”

"Jebel, it's time to attack!" Babu Zabu looked up at the sky and ordered: "This time you personally lead the team, I will supervise the battle in the back!" "At this time, he is also a little difficult to ride a tiger, his subordinates were originally just a group of rabble, relying on continuous victories to maintain, if the order to withdraw the army, I am afraid that there will not be many people left here to follow him, after all, everyone is trying to attack the city is just coveting the wealth in the city.

"Piercing!" Jebe said with a solemn face, he was not too optimistic about this attack, but the battle had already reached this point, so he had to bite the bullet.

"Da Da ......" accompanied by the cover of heavy machine guns, the Mongolian bandits moved forward slowly like ants, although slow but extremely skillful, after all, back and forth many times, not to mention that with the increasing proportion of Mongols in the attacking team (some cavalry dismounted into the attack), the Mongolian bandits became more and more tenacious, not like at the beginning of the opponent's machine gun as soon as they heard the sound of the opponent's machine gun and retreated.

The battle was still very old-fashioned, and the Mongolian bandits stubbornly attacked the position of the first battalion after paying a considerable price, and the officers and men of the battalion temporarily engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy under the leadership of the battalion commander Zuo Jiwu, and the two sides were inseparable for a while.

"Cavalry attack!" At the same critical moment, as last time, the east gate was opened, and hundreds of cavalry swarmed out, outflanking the enemy's flanks.

"Dai Qin, attack!" The Mongolian bandit side did not panic as it did last time, on the contrary, the cavalry that had been prepared for a long time also came straight to the position.

......The first round of shelling simply wiped out the heavy machine gun positions of the Mongolian bandits, and then the shells fell on the running cavalry, overturning a number of Mongolian cavalry cavalry, causing a great shock among them, not how lethal the artillery fire was, but the two sides had not run for several days, thinking that the other side had no artillery.

"Damn, they still have cannons!" The first to be defeated was still the Mongolian bandit infantry in hand-to-hand combat with a battalion, starting with only two or three people, and then causing an avalanche effect. The officers and men of the first battalion immediately pursued and killed, and this time they were ordered to chase after the poor.

"Sir, quickly order the withdrawal of troops!" Akshen, who was standing next to Babu Zab and watching the battle, said anxiously, the situation in front is obviously unfavorable to his side, the retreating infantry has broken the cavalry formation, and if he does not order a retreat, I am afraid that even the hundreds of cavalry participating in the battle will fall into it.

"Shit, shit!" Babu Zabu gritted his teeth angrily and roared: "Why hasn't Lao Tzu's artillery team arrived yet? "This is also to blame himself, he hurriedly attacked the city without waiting for the artillery to be in place, the original road from Jingpeng Town to Duolun was very poor, and how could the harassment speed of Han Zitai's troops be fast.

"It'll be there in a day or two at most!" Master Guo on the side hurriedly persuaded him: "The most important thing at the moment is to remove the brothers!" "In fact, I have long been dissatisfied to the extreme, and it is a taboo for soldiers to freeze under the fortified city.

"Okay!" Babu Zabu said dejectedly: "Retreat five miles back and set up camp again!" "It seems impossible for the attack at the East Gate to continue.

With the retreat of the Mongolian bandit cavalry, the infantry participating in the attack was basically wiped out by the attacking officers, and there were two or three hundred people who were captured, most of the heavy machine guns were lost, and the rest of the guns and ammunition were also lost. …,

"Blow the rallying trumpet!" Tang Zhidao put down the binoculars and ordered, the purpose of this counterattack has been achieved, after all, the other party still has more than 2,000 cavalry on hand, and it will not be beautiful to chase down and be counterattacked by the other party.

The battle in the afternoon completely discouraged Babu Zab's intention to attack Duolun City from the east gate, at least until the arrival of the artillery team.

The next day, the Mongolian bandits surrounded again, but they changed their tactics, only sent a small number of soldiers to the east gate to feint, and put the spearhead of the main attack on the north and south gates, but unfortunately the space outside these two gates was too small, and the troops could not be deployed at all, and it was basically impossible to capture the city covered by thick walls without the advantage of troops and firepower.

It's just that there was an extremely thrilling scene in the afternoon, a company of the original Duolun garrison stationed on the hill in the north of the city actually retreated without a fight, allowing the Mongolian bandits to attack the mountain, resulting in the front-line positions arranged outside the city being attacked from both sides. The most amazing thing is that the reason why the company retreated without a fight was that the company elder had run out of cigarettes, and if he couldn't hold on, he ran to the city by himself. Commander Tang, who got the news, was furious, and immediately led the guard platoon and merchant group armed forces in the reserve to reinforce them, arrested and shot the company commander who retreated without a fight, controlled the cattle pipe belt, reorganized the battalion, and sent Du Shijie as the acting battalion commander and Wang Guozhen as the acting company commander of a company.

In the evening, with the support of the artillery company, the reorganized infantry battalion, led by the guard platoon, counterattacked, and after a fierce battle, recaptured the high ground outside the city and restored the front-line positions. The reinforcements brought in by the Mongolian bandits were shelled and the reinforcements were unfavorable, and they were forced to give up this best opportunity. Commander Tang also took this opportunity to completely control the various departments in Duolun City, and Tan acted as the town guard to completely become the commander of the light pole.

After this day's battle, the Mongolian bandit side was completely dead, quietly waiting for the arrival of the artillery team outside the city, and Tang Zhidao could only wait for reinforcements from Zhangjiakou, so the two sides resumed their confrontation.
