Chapter 136: The City Gate Opens
The explosion stunned both sides of the war, and the flames that rose in the eastern city seemed to burn the entire sky, and after a while, the rebels appeared in a brief confusion, and the soldiers of the 10th and 11th armies in the northeast who landed in the city took the opportunity to launch a more fierce attack, and the rebels were beaten back again and again, and when they reacted, the northeast army had firmly occupied those places.
The explosion in Dongcheng has lowered the morale of the rebels a lot, and these rebels know best what they have in Dongcheng, which is more than a quarter of their arms stock!
Xu Lanzhou almost fainted when he saw the earth-shattering flames, but he couldn't afford to exchange various resources in Longjiang Province for the left and right between Japan and Russia, and it was unforgivable to lose it all of a sudden.
"Quick, go check on me, what the hell is going on? Defeat the enemy at all costs, and explain to the soldiers that it was the enemy spies who blew up the arsenal to avenge the brothers stationed inside. In addition to this, immediately send more people to guard other arsenals and material warehouses, and absolutely not ......"
"Boom ......"
Before Xu Lanzhou's words were finished, there were huge explosions in several directions in the city, and a ball of flames rose into the sky, Xu Lanzhou spit out a mouthful of old blood, and he was crumbling and was supported by Li Jinglin beside him.
"Overseer, you didn't, did you? Someone ...... coming."
"Stop, I'm not dead yet, let people go and fire immediately, and the remaining arsenal must be saved, otherwise we will be finished!"
Xu Lanzhou stopped drinking; Li Jinglin shouted, and then asked Li Jinglin to go down to arrange, his guards had already come to support him. Fortunately, Xu Lanzhou is a person who practices martial arts, and his body is very strong, and after adjusting his body, he has regained his previous momentum.
Li Jinglin gave an order to the officer who followed him, and then rushed to Dongcheng with a group of disciple soldiers brought out by himself, in his opinion, those who can have the courage to go to Dongcheng and know that there is an arsenal in Dongcheng must be the core person in it, as long as they are caught, they will be able to find out what happened.
Yang Le of Dongcheng did not go far, they ran out of the arsenal and rushed to the intended target, but they did not expect that there were several groups of soldiers on the road, and they were forced to hide in order not to be discovered. As for the officer, he did not stay, decisively gave him a shot, and it was irrational to bring a time bomb.
Li Jinglin rushed to Dongcheng, and from a distance he found that there was a team of more than 40 people, and the other teams were all rushing to the arsenal, but this team was going in the opposite direction, and he thought it was strange and brought people up to surround them.
Yang Le thought that the soldiers on the other side would also ask them why they didn't go to the arsenal like the previous team, and he was about to make a speech, but found that they didn't ask at all and surrounded themselves directly.
Was it discovered? Yang Le panicked in his heart, but quickly calmed down again, because he saw that the leader was Li Jinglin.
"What a boldness, if you blow up the arsenal and dare to swagger on the street, you will lay down your weapons for me!"
Li Jinglin scolded loudly, and immediately many people in Yang Le's team were frightened, and raised them to grab Li Jinglin.
"Report to General Li, we were ordered by the commander to report to the governor about the arsenal, there were traitors in the arsenal, and they blew up the arsenal!" Yang Le said.
Li Jinglin felt that the voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, and he didn't believe Yang Le's words very much, he knew too much about him Li Jinglin in Longjiang.
"Get your military ID out!"
After Li Jinglin finished speaking, he shot directly, approached Yang Le with lightning speed, stretched out an eagle claw and wanted to grab Yang Le, but was dodged by the side of Yang Le's body. Li Jinglin's eagle claw posture changed, and he followed the trend sideways, but he only tore Yang Le's military uniform, leaving a few blood marks on Yang Le's right chest.
Yang Le, who had no choice but to resist Li Jinglin's attack, tried to help the brothers in the back but was pointed at guns by the hundreds of disciples and soldiers brought by Li Jinglin and did not dare to move.
After a while, Yang Le couldn't resist falling to the ground and vomiting blood, Li Jinglin already had the appearance of a martial arts master, which was not something he could resist.
"Yang Le, it turned out to be you, didn't you disband and go back to farming a long time ago?" Seeing Yang Le who fell to the ground and dropped his military hat, Li Jinglin recognized it at a glance.
Yang Le wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "Master, I didn't go back to farming, I was caught by Xu Lanzhou when I went back, and I was rescued by my brothers today, General Bao has been killed!" ”
"Impossible, didn't General Bao go back to his hometown, what the hell is going on?"
"When Xu Lanzhou decided to take refuge in the Japanese, General Bao and I did not agree to leave, he promised not to embarrass us, but he didn't expect to secretly arrest people, and I was the only one among these people who survived!" Yang Le said angrily.
"How is it possible, how is it possible?" Li Jinglin asked himself a few words in disbelief.
"General Li, let's leave, Xu Lanzhou is not worth our lives, this is betraying the country!" Yang Le and his brothers wanted to leave, but the soldiers didn't let them go.
"Let them go, we haven't met them today!" Li Jinglin ordered in frustration.
Yang Le turned around before leaving and said, "Actually, it was recommended by General Bao that you gave to Xu Lao Thief!" ”
Li Jinglin stood on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning, he always thought that Xu Lanzhou was his Bole, but he didn't expect it to be General Bao!
Just as Li Jinglin and Yang Le were talking, Yingshun, Ba Ying'e and others were discussing whether to withdraw their troops, after all, the shape had exceeded their expectations. These people are all members of the Zongshe Party, and their hearts are still yearning for the Manchu Dynasty, which should be said to be the current puppet Manchukuo.
Yingshun: "The shape of Longjiang City has become too fast, our arsenal has been blown up one after another, and part of the city wall has been occupied, and it has not been able to take it back for a long time. Besides, those Wehrmacht troops are nowhere to be found, but the Japanese reinforcements don't know when they will arrive, Longjiang City will definitely not be able to support it for long, and in order to maintain the strength of Manchukuo, we must retreat! ”
"Xu Lanzhou, should we notify him, after all, he is now a member of the Fusang people, and he may offend the Fusang people!" Ba Ying'e said a little worriedly.
"Longjiang City can't be kept according to the shape, it's better for us to go to the Japanese army, and then recover Longjiang with them, which can not only consume Xu Lanzhou's strength but also strengthen our control over Longjiang Province, which will be of great benefit to the restoration of our Qing Dynasty."
Yingshun and the others soon decided to retreat unilaterally, leaving Xu Lanzhou alone to confront the Northeast Army and go in the direction of the Japanese army from the east.
"Report to the governor, General Yingshun and General Ba Ying'e and others have left the city from the east gate with a part of the army, and they are also carrying a large amount of arms and supplies!" A soldier ran to Xu Lanzhou in a panic and said.
Xu Lanzhou immediately took the telescope and walked up the stairs of the city wall to look at the east city gate, and if it was really Yingshun and the others with the army were going out of the city gate, he felt his chest explode instantly, and a ball of anger rose.
"Bastards, a bunch of bastards, actually running away at such a time, I'm not done with you, go stop them!" Xu Lanzhou roared at the officers below with a dark face.
Xu Lanzhou and a few officials rushed to the Chenghui Gate in the east after pulling their horses, wanting to prevent Yingshun and others from leaving the city. But when they arrived, more than half of the army had already left the city gate, and Xu Lanzhou immediately asked the soldiers to stop, but the soldiers didn't bird him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Xu Lanzhou fired three shots into the sky, and said angrily: "Stop the damn for me, who dares to go out without my consent?" ”
There was a loud sound of pulling the bolt, and the soldiers who had not yet walked out of the city gate raised their guns and pointed at Xu Lanzhou.
"Damn, dare to rebel, you don't want to live anymore?" Xu Lanzhou shouted at these soldiers, but the soldiers did not put down their guns, and they were still facing Xu Lanzhou.
At this time, a huge sound of footsteps came from behind Xu Lanzhou, and a large number of soldiers poured out, all of them pointed guns at the soldiers who had not yet gone out of the city gate, it turned out that Li Jinglin had arrived with the army.
"Put down your guns, are you still the army of Longjiang?" Li Jinglin shouted angrily.
"We are the army of Manchukuo, not the army of Longjiang or the army of the governor, and from now on we will only obey the orders of Manchukuo!" An officer inside the gate dropped a sentence and turned and walked out of the gate.
"Hurry up, those hateful rebels will be here in a moment!" Another officer shouted at the soldiers as they walked out of the city gate, not at all.
Xu Lanzhou felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene, but the army he had worked so hard to raise became someone else's, it was really not a taste!
Zhang Kai on the other side of the city also received that there was an army out of the city from Chenghuimen, and he was nervous that Xu Lanzhou couldn't help but want to go out of the city to confront him head-on, and was ready to send people to meet him, but he didn't expect that there would be scouts who came out of the city and the army went directly to the east, which was very fast, which made Zhang Kai confused! Zhang Kai, who had no choice but to let the scout continue to watch, came back to report as soon as there was a disturbance.
Yingshun and the others took away nearly 30,000 troops, and the strength of Longjiang City was lacking at once, and it was even more difficult to defend the city, Xu Lanzhou already had a retreat in his heart.
"Hurry up and let people guard this city gate and block the news here, just say that General Yingshun and they are going to pick up the Japanese army, and if we hold on a little longer, we will have reinforcements!" Xu Lanzhou said with a dark face and went back to the Governor's Mansion.
No matter how the officers blocked the news, many soldiers on the city wall saw it at that time, plus Yang Le sent people to publicize, and it spread throughout the rebel army in a few hours, and the army's heart was immediately turbulent.
The army defected a group of people, and also took a large amount of supplies, and more than half of the arsenal in the city was also blown up, and the supplies will be short in a few days. Under such circumstances, the morale of the rebels was extremely low, and the battle was also inadequate, and a large number of soldiers had the intention of retreating.
Pingding Gate, the defenders guarding the city gate under the persuasion of Yang Le and others ruthlessly raised the white flag to open the city gate to let the Northeast army enter, and batches of troops entered the city, Zhang Kai ordered people to control the Pingding Gate for the first time.
