Chapter 129: Vulnerable (Asking for Subscriptions and Monthly Passes)

"Rush! The commander said that he broke through the defense line of the Jilin Army, and there was a lot of reward. A Beiyang military pipe band shouted loudly to the hundreds of soldiers under him.

"Kill!" One by one, the soldiers' eyes lit up, and they rushed towards the defense line of the Jilin Army with rifles.

Under the orders of He Zonglian, the 1st Town of the Beiyang Army launched an attack. Although the first wave of the offensive only threw in one target, there were only more than a thousand and less than two thousand people. However, their chaotic attack still looks quite imposing.

Of course, this is nothing more than a layman's opinion. In the eyes of insiders, such a formation is not a qualified army at all, it is simply a rabble. In the case that the firepower of the infantry has been greatly strengthened, the mode of attacking in a sparse skirmish line is undoubtedly the best way to attack. The dense impact formation is nothing more than sending people to death.

If the Beiyang Army were facing the troops of those local factions in the country, perhaps such an attack would have worked. However, when encountering the Jilin Army, it is self-defeating.

At the head of a bridge attacked by the Beiyang Army, although only one infantry platoon was stationed here. However, the crossfire of one heavy machine gun and three light machine guns can become a nightmare for the Beiyang Army. Not to mention that on the other side of the bridge, there are mortars erected there. On the other side of the river, the Jilin Army could also use heavy machine guns and light machine guns to strafe the Beiyang Army.

As a result, the attacking Beiyang Army finally realized what it means to be nine deaths and a hellish battlefield.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Mortars began to shell first, and shells flew overwhelmingly towards the Beiyang Army. Although, those soldiers of the Beiyang Army only cared about covering their heads. However, when the shells exploded in the dense queue, it still set off a bloody storm. Scattered shrapnel. The shock wave from the explosion of the shell cost the life of the Beiyang Army.

Subsequently, the heavy machine guns and light machine guns of the Jilin Army began to strafe, and the dense bullets directly caused the Beiyang Army, which was charging in a dense formation, to fall to the ground one after another, as if cutting wheat.

"Ahh Damn. How can their firepower be so intensive? ”

"Run! The Jilin Army is too strong for us to defeat them at all. ”

The Beiyang Army attacked quickly, but retreated faster. After leaving behind the corpses, the rest of the people immediately turned and fled. The rifle in his hand and the like were thrown away a long time ago. In this way, you may be able to run a little faster.

The Jilin Army's mortar shells and light and heavy machine gun bullets chased after the Beiyang Army, and many people were knocked to the ground in the process of escaping.

This attack of the Beiyang Army is actually no different from a farce. It was easily defeated by the Jilin Army. One of the targets of the attack was killed and wounded. There were more than six or seven hundred people, and they didn't even touch the edge of the Jilin Army. It can be seen how badly they fought this battle. Although, it is not clear to them what the casualties of the Jilin Army were. But what is certain is that the casualties of the Jilin Army are certainly few, or even low and terrifying.

He Zonglian was trembling with anger, he didn't know what to say now. Originally, I thought that the Jilin Army stationed in Jinzhou was just a rabble. But is there such a rabble? If such a powerful army is a rabble, then the Beiyang Army will be all rubbish.

"Lord Commander. What do we do now? Dong Shiting, chief of staff of the 1st town of the Beiyang Army, also had a very ugly face.

"What else can you see? Retire. Wait until the follow-up main force arrives before fighting! He Zonglian said angrily. In this round of battles alone, he already knew that the combat effectiveness of the Jilin Army was extremely strong. If you keep fighting. It will only make his troops suffer heavy losses. Therefore, it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be difficult for his first town to be completely damaged here, and he might not be able to tear through the defense line of the Jilin Army.

Feng Linge and Qin Hua were also dumbfounded. Before the battle began, they also speculated that the Jilin Army stationed in Jinzhou might be a newly formed unit. There won't be much combat power. However, the attack on the 1st town ended in a crushing defeat. This undoubtedly proves the strength of the Jilin Army. Although, 1st Town was beaten in an embarrassed way, but if his 28th Town played. It won't end much better than 1st Town. Therefore, for the withdrawal of troops, Feng Linge naturally raised his hands in favor.

"Lord Commander, for the sake of today, the only way to do this is to report to the Prime Minister and ask for reinforcements to come sooner. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to defeat the Jilin Army. Dong Shiting proposed.

He Zonglian nodded, although he only lost a few hundred people, but this had already frightened him. If the follow-up reinforcements don't come, it would undoubtedly be delusional to defeat the Jilin Army just by relying on his town. In addition, He Zonglian also had to admit that the Jilin Army was able to fight a bloody battle with the Japanese in Liaodong, and it really had two brushes. The Beiyang Army wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, and no one knows whether it will succeed, and it is a wrong decision.

He Zonglian immediately ordered someone to send a telegram to Yuan Datou asking for support, he claimed that he had been attacked by the main force of the Jilin Army, the first town had suffered heavy losses, and was now contained outside Jinzhou City for half a step and could not advance, and begged for follow-up reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible.

At the same time, the 1st town of the Beiyang Army and the 28th town of Feng Linge also retreated to Songshan Town.

The actions of the Beiyang Army stunned Major General Zhang Haipeng, commander of the 9th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army, and Colonel Du Heng, chief of staff.

"What the hell is that kid doing to eat? Didn't Lao Tzu let him play leisurely? How did you scare the Beiyang Army away? Major General Zhang Haipeng was furious.

"Division Commander, Regiment Commander Liu is already restrained enough, but who knew that the Beiyang Army was so vulnerable? Only a few hundred people were lost, and all retreated. It seems that it is unlikely that they will be lured to attack our defenses. Chief of Staff Colonel Du Heng said.

"Bastard, since the Beiyang Army is not coming to attack, then we will attack. Order the 92nd Regiment and the 93rd Regiment to get ready, and tonight, I will completely eliminate the troops of the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge. Major General Zhang Haipeng was ruthless.

"Yes, Commander." Colonel Du Heng nodded. It can be seen from today's battle that the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army is extremely low, and it cannot be compared with the Jilin Army at all. If the Jilin Army launches an offensive on its own initiative, it will definitely work.

After nightfall, the 9th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army left Jinzhou and began to march towards the town of Songshan. More than ten kilometers away, they arrived in just two hours. At this moment, the 1st Town of the Beiyang Army and the 28th Town of Feng Linge were concentrated around the town of Songshan Town. Even after losing the battle during the day, the Beiyang Army's defenses were very lax, and they only sent a small number of sentries around the town.

The elites of the reconnaissance battalion of the 9th Infantry Division dispatched in advance and pulled out all these sentries, so that the 9th Infantry Division surrounded Songshan Town, and the Beiyang Army in the town did not know about it at all.

The 9th Infantry Division had built an improvised defensive line about three kilometers from the town of Matsuyama, and the soldiers did not even dig trenches, but only skirmishers. The light machine guns of the squads, as well as the heavy machine guns and mortars of the platoons, formed the main body of the defensive line.

At two o'clock in the morning, thirty-six 105-mm light howitzers of the divisional artillery battalion of the 9th Infantry Division and 27 75-mm field guns of the regimental artillery batteries of three infantry regiments opened fire at the maximum rate of fire on the town of Songshan.

The dense artillery shells flew to Songshan Town, turning the people bombed by the Beiyang Army who were still asleep on their backs.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dense explosions rang out far and wide under the night sky, and balls of fireball rose through the town, setting the houses on fire. Countless soldiers of the Beiyang Army were directly killed while they were still asleep. Those who were awakened were also skewered around like headless flies.

"Lord Commander, the Jilin Army has launched an attack." A panicked voice sounded, and Dong Shiting reported to He Zonglian with a frightened face.

"Quickly organize troops to resist the attack of the Jilin Army." He Zonglian's face was also full of panic.

"Boom!"

A shell exploded in the yard, which immediately collapsed the houses next to it, and scared He Zonglian and Dong Shiting enough.

Later, the officer reported that Songshan Town had been surrounded by the Jilin Army.

"Holy shit, they're going to kill them all! Immediately organize troops to break through. If it's too late, it'll be too late. He Zonglian immediately made a decision.

There is no doubt that if you continue to defend it, it will definitely be a dead end. The fierce artillery fire of the Jilin Army alone was enough for them to drink a pot. Only by breaking through and escaping while the chaos can you have a chance to escape.

Feng Linge and Qin Hua were awakened when the cannon sounded. Feng Linge, who was born as a bandit, is even better at saving his life. When he heard the dense explosions, Feng Linge knew that the battle had been lost. He immediately ordered Qin Hua to organize troops to break through the siege and escape from here.

The troops of the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge began to break through to the south. However, they ran headlong into the defense line of the 92nd Infantry Division of the Jilin Army. Even though, because it was too hasty, the line of defense was weak. However, the terrifying firepower of the Jilin Army still caused great losses to the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge's troops.

It's a pity that the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge's 28th Town have too many troops, much more than the 9th Infantry Division. It was another night battle, and under the chaos, many troops of the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge broke through the defense line of the Jilin Army and escaped. Of course, their main force has been wiped out, and the few who escaped are no longer to worry. (To be continued......)
