"Bastard, the surnamed Xu saw that Lao Tzu has no soldiers now, and when he was down, he put on a face to show Lao Tzu." Ba Ying'e, who fled to Qiqihar with a small number of guards, met with Xu Lanzhou, Xu Lanzhou just asked him about the general battle process with the Feng army, and then he found an excuse to let Ba Ying'e come back, and then Ba Ying'e had something to do, and wanted to see Xu Lanzhou again, but at this time, Ba Ying'e was already a phoenix with no hair, and without the infantry in his hand mixed into four brigades, Xu Lanzhou no longer took it in his eyes at all. This made Ba Ying's heart, which had always been courteous before, very unbalanced. On the way back, he scolded all the way.

"Brigade seat, now that we are no longer welcome in Qiqihar, and the Feng army has also arrived in Qiqihar, this has become a place of right and wrong, I think we should leave as soon as possible." Chen Sanyou's face was gloomy, Ba Ying's mixed brigade was wiped out in a battle, and he fled to Qiqihar with only a lot of wealth, this is just now, Xu Lanzhou has already shown them his face, if the funds are tight in the future, the possibility of reaching out to Ba Ying'e is not impossible.

"Escape, where can you flee now, the west is the grassland, Russia is now more chaotic than the Republic of China, the east is all the Feng army, and the south is also the territory of the Feng army." Ba Ying'e said a little irritably, he brought a lot of things to Qiqihar, such a large group of convoys, and all the people around him were former soldiers, so they couldn't withstand the interrogation of people with intentions, and looking at the posture of Fengjun, they might not let him go easily.

"Brigade, if you don't cash out the goods in your hand as soon as possible, it will be more convenient to take them away, and you can't help but wait for the Feng army to come to Qiqihar. The powerful brigade seat of the Feng army has also seen it, and the little bit of cargo brigade under Xu Lanzhou also knows that even if it is stronger than our mixed brigade, it is only limited. Not to mention the Feng army of three divisions, even if one division fights Xu Lanzhou, Xu Lanzhou will definitely not be able to withstand it. It won't be long before this Qiqihar can't stay, and if you don't think of a way sooner, it's too late to leave when the time comes. Chen Sanyou said anxiously.

"Well, you're right. Sooner or later, it will have to go. Ba Ying nodded. Xu Lanzhou is proud now, and it won't be long before he will become a lost dog, and see what capital he has to be arrogant at that time. ”

Wow... The slightly hurried sound of the military boots stepping on the ground shows that the owner is not in a good mood at this time, and even a little anxious.

"Where is the Feng army?" Xu Lanzhou asked behind his back.

"It's already past Lindian County." Li Guodong, Li Jinglin and others stood aside with solemn faces.

"Ba Ying's forehead is really useless, a mixed brigade of more than 4,000 people, even without fighting a decent battle, was defeated by the Feng army in one day." Xu Lanzhou was extremely annoyed. "If he pulls the troops to Qiqihar, he can still start to play a role, and now he has lost it in vain, tell me, how should this battle be fought?"

As soon as Xu Lanzhou's words were asked, Li Jinglin and the others lowered their heads one after another, not daring to reply to Xu Lanzhou head-on, and most of the discerning people in Heilongjiang could see the situation in Heilongjiang at the moment. It's just that Xu Lanzhou has been planning for many years, and he is about to become an overseer, but he was intervened by Qin Yu, and he was unwilling.

"How. If you don't make a sound, if you don't make a sound, won't the army come? What did the Russian consul say? Xu Lanzhou looked at his right-hand man Jia Yutian.

"Division, Balowsky said that Fengfang and Tsarist Russia have always been on good terms, and Russia can't have a bad relationship with Fengtian because of the division, in addition, Balowsky also said. Say. ”

"Say what?" Xu Lanzhou said impatiently.

"Balosky said that Qin Yu has more than ten infantry divisions under his command, and the difference in strength is too great, and if he forces a war, he will definitely lose." Jia Yutian plucked up his courage and said, "Master." Heilongjiang's strength is not as good as Meng Enyuan's, Meng Enyuan has not been able to support it for half a month, and Heilongjiang's defeat under Qin Yu is not a shame. ”

"Fart, are you asking Lao Tzu to surrender to the Feng army? I know exactly what Fengtian was like before, even if it is stronger than Heilongjiang, it is only so strong that there are more than a dozen divisions, I don't believe that he Qin Yu can afford it, most of it is based on false rumors. Xu Lanzhou shouted violently, and Jia Yutian was suddenly silent.

Li Guodong and the others were silent, not wanting to bump into Xu Lanzhou in anger, everyone knew that even if the strength of the Feng army was a little exaggerated, but Meng Enyuan's strength was beyond doubt, and the Feng army could attack Meng Enyuan in such a short period of time, and it also had the strength to crush Xu Lanzhou.

"It seems that this Xu Lanzhou wants to resist to the end, he really doesn't die if he doesn't see the Yellow River, and he doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin." Sun Liechen received the news that Qiqihar was waiting for him, and sighed, "It seems that this battle is unavoidable. ”

"In the long run, it may not be a good thing, I heard that the prospecting team of Fengtian has discovered a very large coal mine in Rehe, and it can also form a deterrent to Rehe by sweeping all the stubborn resistance in Heilongjiang in one fell swoop. It is conducive to the Fengtian side to receive the Rehe River and the Chahar area. Zuo Yunong said with a smile, not taking Xu Lanzhou's stubborn resistance as a big deal.

"Well, kill the chicken to show the monkey, and it will be nothing to do if you defeat Qiqihar, and then Yingshun will either surrender, or flee to Outer Mongolia like Wutai, and you should not have the courage to fight with the Feng army." Sun Liechen smiled and nodded. In the long run, fighting a few good battles right now is not a bad thing for Mukden.

"In this case, our current strength is enough to crush Xu Lanzhou, so we don't have to wait for the mixed brigade on the Qinggang side to directly attack Senior Commander Sun, what do you think?" Zuo Yunong Dao, although the two of them have the same military positions as division commanders, Sun Liechen is the temporary commander-in-chief of Jiji and Hei.

"Well, while it's still dark, let's fight for a while. Don't be stingy with shells in the area of the woodland island, if you want to fight, you will beat Xu Lanzhou's morale to a low point. It is best to completely destroy the will to resist of the Xulanzhou Army Division outside Qiqihar City. ”

Sun Liechen nodded, artillery shells are a necessity for the war, after several years of development, Fengtian's own artillery shell factory now produces an unprecedented 37,000 rounds per month. Except for the needs of artillery training, the rest are used for export, and in the event of war, it is naturally not a big problem to call in a batch. According to the information provided by Chen Tao, the artillery shells of Xu Lanzhou's army division only had six or seven hundred shells. There are only about 34 artillery pieces, in contrast, Sun Liechen used 3,000 rounds of artillery shells this time, and the artillery regiments of the two divisions are only short of one artillery battalion, which is far superior to Xu Lanzhou in terms of quantity and quality, and naturally has the confidence to win.

With the left rain farmer. Sun Liechen reached an agreement, and Zuo Yunong rushed back to his division headquarters and commanded the people to rush straight towards the enemy troops in the area of the woodland island.

One and a half battalions of the 4th Regiment of the 1st Division of the Heilongjiang Army are responsible for the defense of the shack area of Lindi Island, and the two ends of the first rat of Ba Ying's forehead are different, Xu Lanzhou's will to resist is quite firm, and the soldiers below are naturally well prepared to prepare. It can be a dense rain of bullets on the opposite side of the defense of the very good. Even Zhang Hanlin, the deputy commander of the 4th Regiment, who was personally responsible for commanding, saw these solid defense lines, and he also had some confidence in his heart. It's just that the upcoming war is obviously beyond the expectations of Zhang Hanlin and others.

When Zhang Hanlin and the others were nibbling on steamed buns to replenish their strength, the sound of the air whistling made everyone's hearts shocked.

"Ha Luha, the artillery of the Feng army is nothing more than that, Nima, it's so far away, it's so far to blow up the land." The officers of the 4th regiment with mocking kung fu, the cannon of the Feng army was calibrated after selecting the reference. With enough artillery shells for live-fire training, it can be said that the quality of the artillery of the Fengjun army at this time was the highest in the country. With the exception of a very few extremely receptive ones, excellent gunners were fed with shells.

Soon, the swollen shells made the soldiers of the 4th regiment no longer laugh.

"Shut up, fucking Lao Tzu lie down in the position." Soon, the roaring group of shells made these people unable to laugh anymore, and Zhang Hanlin scolded angrily. The first to lie down behind the sandbags, praying in his heart that the shells would not fall near him.

Boom boom boom ....

In the flames and black smoke, strips of sackcloth filled with mud and sand were torn to pieces, and the mud and sand flew all over the sky, mixed with the choking smell of gunpowder. The unlucky one was blown to pieces in the explosion. Occasionally, a blood-dripping arm or two or a calf is thrown out of the air. The power of the shells told these soldiers of the 4 regiment that the battlefield was not a joke.

For the small position in front of them, the Feng army gathered 24 cannons at one time, and the maximum rate of fire of the cannon exceeded ten rounds per minute, which was tantamount to a disaster for the 4th regiment, of course, the Feng army did not use the ability of the cannon to throw shells to the maximum, but the rate of fire of five or six rounds per minute made the position like purgatory.

Zhang Hanlin and the other soldiers lay on the ground tightly, not daring to move at all, and if their bodies were a little higher, they would be shot like hedgehogs by shrapnel in all directions. Even lying on the ground, ordinary people could hardly bear the violent shaking of the ground under the explosion, and a few unbearable soldiers did not have time to cover their ears, their heads were shaken to the ground, and they almost stood up and shouted out of shape, and were soon paralyzed on the ground by the explosion, or buried alive by a splash of earth. Zhang Hanlin followed Xu Lanzhou to cut off his beard, fought Mongolian bandits, and also had a small amount of fire with the rebels from Outer Mongolia. But the war in front of him has gone beyond Zhang Hanlin's cognition of war, and with Zhang Hanlin's experience, even if all the previous wars are combined, the tragedy of the war is not as tragic as the scene in front of him.

The 4th Regiment guarding the position here only has less than two battalions of troops, more than 700 people, and Xu Lanzhou, the artillery of the army division, sees it as if he is in his heart, so he is naturally reluctant to send it out easily, and in the face of the blow of the Feng army, the soldiers of the 4th Regiment have no power to resist.

After more than 400 shells, the defensive line was full of holes, and these seemingly well-organized lines had no ability to resist artillery bombardment, and the soldiers in charge of defense were already six or seven under the indiscriminate blows of the Fengjun shells, and less than 300 people could move.

As soon as the noisy artillery fire stopped, Zhang Hanlin covered his bloodied, unconscious left arm, and got up from the ground with a disgraced face. The soldiers of the Feng army on the opposite side rushed towards their own phalanx.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" The ground was full of corpses and scattered bullets, Xu Lanzhou also took out the old foundation accumulated over the years in order to fight against the Feng army, and boxes of bullets were moved out of the armory, but just now in a round of bombing by the Feng army, the bullet boxes were blown to pieces, and the bullets were scattered all over the place. With less than 300 people at the moment, facing the Feng army, which is still a fresh force. If you think about it with your ass, you can know what the end of the road is.

"Why don't you chase for it?" When the officers below received the order to stop the pursuit, their minds were full of doubts, and they were interested, and they were suddenly ordered to stop the pursuit, and these people would of course be a little dissatisfied.

"You know a, and there are considerations from above. The bombing just now had already caused Xu Lanzhou's troops to be dizzy, and the remaining two or three hundred people were completely dispensable, and letting them go back was to weaken the fighting spirit of the rest of the army division. After another bombing with artillery once or twice, this fear will gradually amplify, and the weaker the will of the army division to resist, the easier it will be to occupy Qiqihar later. ”

"I see." The soldier who heard it nodded, thinking that it would be if he was bombarded one after another under the intensity of the enemy's artillery fire. I'm afraid I'm going to lose the confidence to fight. After all, Xu Lanzhou can only ensure that a small number of his descendants can live a relatively prosperous life, and he can't take care of everyone in the entire army division. Those ordinary soldiers accounted for the majority of the army divisions, and it was impossible for them to have much loyalty to Xu Lanzhou. In the face of the inevitable defeat, more and more people will leave Xu Lanzhou, and it is better to carry out artillery bombardment in the field than to directly attack Qiqihar, which is easy to destroy and difficult to build. This sentence can be placed anywhere.

Sun Liechen said this and did so, facing the defense line of more than 2,000 people of the Heilongjiang Army Division next. A single cannon smashed down directly, and a total of more than 60 cannons opened fire at the same time, divided into two groups, and smashed more than 1,000 shells. Xu Lanzhou's defenses near Donggang and Lutun Village were once again broken with the momentum of sweeping away the leaves with a strong wind, and Xu Lanzhou's position on the periphery of Qiqihar had almost been uprooted. During World War II, the Japanese army invaded China and was invincible. Relying on its absolute superior firepower, a brigade of the Japanese army can fight a division of the national army because the firepower of one of its brigades is even stronger than that of a division of the national army. This situation is reflected in Xu Lanzhou's army division, and the same is true. The firepower of the Feng army not only exceeded the imagination of Zhang Hanlin, a first-class officer of the battalion and regiment, but also unexpected by Xu Lanzhou.

"Bastard. It has only been a long time for the Feng army to fight directly under the city of Qiqihar! Hearing the news of the successive defeats on the front line, Xu Lanzhou was furious.

"Division, it's not that the inferior rank refuses to fight, it's really that the artillery of the Feng army is too powerful, and from the beginning to the back, the cannon has not stopped. The defense line arranged by our army is not vulnerable to a blow at all under the bombardment of the Feng army, and the sandbags of one hundred or dozens of pounds seem to be strong, and when a cannon goes down, the sand is still blown all over the sky, and the Feng army has not yet hit, the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and the most deadly thing is that the soldiers below were directly blown apart, and the Feng army rushed up, and the machine guns were swept away, and dozens of heavy machine guns were so hard to lift up that the heads of the inferior ranks. Standing up is a dead word. This, this battle can't be fought at all. Zhang Hanlin's brother Zhang Hanwu cried with a sad face, his younger brother is now almost useless in one of his arms, and he has not come down from the emergency bed, not to mention how angry he is.

"Shizuo, after being defeated by the Feng army in the area of the island shack, the humble official personally rushed to Donggang to see if the Feng army was really as rumored to win every battle. I thought that the combat power of the Feng army was somewhat exaggerated, but after I really saw it, I realized that the Feng army did have the capital to be proud, and the humble post had personally experienced the First Sino-Japanese War, and the firepower of the Japanese army at that time was nothing more than that of the current Feng army. I dare to assert that even if the Japanese army met the current Feng army, it would only eat turtles. Li Guodong's face was extremely solemn, "The simple fortifications built before were also out of defense against ordinary troops, and the firepower of the Feng army was unexpectedly fierce, and the fortifications did not have much defensive effect on them. ”

"Is Fengjun really strong to this extent?" Xu Lanzhou knows that Li Guodong is silent by nature, but he often says it, and rarely boasts, even he says it like this, I'm afraid that in the future, Xu Lanzhou is a little afraid to think about it.

"Shizao, with all due respect, if the Feng army continues to maintain this offensive intensity, Qiqihar is afraid..." Although Li Guodong's words were not spoken, everyone present knew what they meant. Just by seeing the large number of wounded carried down from the battlefield and the attrition of the troops at the front in the past, one can understand the extent to which the offensive of the Feng army was fierce.

"What if I pull all the artillery out of Qiqihar City? Army divisions are also not without their own artillery. Xu Lanzhou was unwilling.

"Division, our family base only has less than 700 shells, and the Feng army almost smashed this number in the attack on Donggang, and in the other two fallen places, according to the casualties of the troops, four or five hundred rounds are only a lot more. After the shells are finished, the cannon is not even as good as the rifle, and I heard that the Fengjun army has a special artillery shell factory, which can produce tens of thousands of shells a year. The bullets are tens of millions, and if you fight with the Feng army and consume ammunition, I am afraid that only Japan in the east has this strength. Li Guodong smiled bitterly. The news of the Mukden Artillery Shell Factory and the Bullet Factory was deliberately disseminated by Sun Liechen at the behest of Qin Yu, with the aim of breaking the hostile determination to resist the opposing forces. It's just that the real output of the artillery shell factory is more than ten times that of the rumors. However, the annual output of tens of thousands of rounds is also an astronomical amount for Xu Lanzhou or other warlords in China. In the beginning of the war, no one was willing to recklessly smash shells outward, and when a shell hits out, dozens of oceans are gone.

"Master, why don't you talk to Feng Jun again, I heard that the reason why Feng Jun named and wanted to arrest Ba Ying'e was because Ba Ying's soldiers harmed the place and burned and killed adultery. Although Qiqihar has recently been suspected of forcibly collecting taxes and grain, it is not a big deal, and Fengtian will not take the risk of destroying Qiqihar to hold the master responsible. Li Jinglin had the courage to speak to Xu Lanzhou.

"Yes, Master, the current situation is that the battle will be lost, and there is no luck at all. Now that Qiqihar and Ba Ying's forehead are handed over to Fengjun, with the position of the division, Qin Yu of Fengtian will not do too much. But if there is a glimmer of hope that Qiqihar can be kept, the lowly people will never persuade the teacher. Li Guodong sighed, "We haven't even touched the edge of the Feng army, we have almost lost more than 2,000 people, and now there are two divisions of the Feng army outside the city, more than 20,000 people, there is a brigade of the Feng army in Lanxi, and there is a division of the Feng army in Taonan, even if Zhuge Wuhou is reincarnated, there is nothing to do about the current situation, let alone a lowly person." ”

Xu Lanzhou sat back in his chair dejectedly, the Heilongjiang Army Division is Xu Lanzhou's heart, and the situation of eating empty time is relatively rare, but the entire division adds up to less than 10,000 people, and now there are more than 2,000 dead and wounded, and only 8,000 troops are facing the Feng army that is several times their own, and it is no wonder that these subordinates persuade them to surrender.
