Chapter 52: The General Offensive Begins

The colonel's expression suddenly froze, and he stood there dumbfounded and watched the building collapse, and he didn't react when the reporters reacted and tried to take pictures! Until a voice next to him asked, "Mr. Colonel, can you be sure that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is still alive now?" ”

Desi Jianshi Novich suddenly realized: "Quick! Help! ”

The surrounding Russian GIs and Zhang Xun's men rushed to the collapsed building and dug through the rubble. Colonel Desi Jianshi Novich now can only ask God to bless Guangxu and bless himself. If Guangxu really had an accident, the Qing Dynasty would not be able to establish, and it is estimated that his own career would end here.

As they rushed to the ruins, Zaitao killed two Russian soldiers guarding the prison, and several Mongol soldiers killed them, all of whom were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. He took the key from the wall and opened the door of the cell where Zhao Erxun was being held: "Old Zhao, come with me!" ”

Zhao Erxun was still stunned at this time, and sat on the ground without saying a word. Zaitao went up to pull him, but he didn't respond.

Lord Belle was very anxious, he had just re-detonated the two explosive packages buried by Zhao Dong and Wang Yaqiao, but there was definitely not much time to cause chaos, and there was really no way to bring Zhao Erxun's appearance out.

Zaitao lightly patted Zhao Erxun's face a few times: "Old Zhao, old Zhao!" ”

Zhao Erxun's eyes slowly turned to him, and finally said a sentence: "Master, my son said that I am a traitor......

Zaitao didn't have time to explain anything to him, as long as he could speak, and he could recognize himself. He lifted Zhao Erxun and carried it up: "It's okay old Zhao, master will take you out." ”

After Zaitao picked it up, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and Lord Belle gritted his teeth to endure it. Zhao Erxun lay on his shoulder and didn't move, muttering to himself: "My son can shoot?" …… How did I not know he was going to shoot? …… He weishenme said that I am a traitor? ……”

He asked one question after another, and Lord Belle couldn't answer it, and he didn't have the time to answer anything. He just wanted to get out of here quickly. Leave with Zhao Erxun. Even if the Qing Dynasty is gone, it has nothing to do with them, Lord Belle just feels that he can't watch Zhao Erxun die, let alone watch him die in the hands of the Qing Dynasty.

After walking a few steps with Zhao Erxun on his back, he suddenly saw Wang Yaqiao and two other gunmen who were also imprisoned by the Russians, and Wang Yaqiao's eyes also looked at Zaitao. The two looked at each other for a while, Zaitao's footsteps hesitated, and then took out the key and helped Wang Yaqiao open their cells one by one, during which he did not speak.

After the two gunmen left the prison door, they immediately found guns from the Russian guards who were killed by Zaitao, and walked in front to open the way for them, Wang Yaqiao reached out and put Zhao Erxun on his shoulder: "I'll carry it." Let's go together. ”

Zaitao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "You guys go first, take Lao Zhao out." I'm going to pick up my wife. ”

Wang Yaqiao didn't have any extra nonsense: "Let's go together." ”

After a few people escaped from the prison, there was no one outside to intercept them, Zaitao saw that everyone was in a mess, the two-story building that used to stand on the grassland was gone, the Russian soldiers and Mongolian soldiers were rummaging in the ruins for something, and I don't know if Guangxu is still alive now.

Lord Belle suddenly felt a sense of extreme loneliness in his heart, and let out a sigh.

Liaoxi, Xiuyan.

In front of Yang Xiaolin was a sand table shrunken according to the ratio of Suzigou to one. On the sand table, all the military liliang deployments and troop allocations of the Japanese army are clearly marked. Although it is the western Liaoning Plain, the terrain around Suzigou is very complex, with hills and rivers. This will inevitably cause problems for the Volunteers' attacks.

Although he was a fanatical militarist, and he was very impulsive, he was undeniably a very good commander.

The reason why he dared to stay here and not leave. It's also because the terrain here allows him to hold on. This guy is obviously also very concerned about fortifications, and in this day and night he has not only dug one trench after another here, but also built many underground fortifications.

Rongben deployed his firepower according to the operational characteristics of the volunteers. In a small space, it is more convenient for his firepower to cross and support each other.

The sound of artillery outside had already sounded, and after two hours of fierce fighting between the artillery fire of the volunteers and the Japanese artillery, the artillery sound of the little Japanese was obviously weakened. This time, Commander Yang can be said to have gone bankrupt to fight this battle, and the artillery that can be used has basically been pulled over.

Their artillery is more than three times the size of Honor's Saint! Listening to the sound of artillery outside, Yang Xiaolin knew that his artillery had destroyed most of the Japanese artillery fire and began to bombard the Japanese position.

Yang Xiaolin knew that the effect of this might not be too great, because the volunteers lacked the ability to directly destroy the opponent's fortifications with artillery fire, that is, to play a role in shocking the opponent's heart.

Cai Ye came in from outside: "Commander, there are still ten minutes before the general attack starts." ”

Yang Xiaolin snorted, leaning on the sand table without raising it: "What is the situation of the troops who are blocking?" ”

"The enemy on the right leaned in for a moment, and when they saw that we were on guard, they immediately got out of the battle. The 4th and 6th divisions on the left flank rushed very fiercely, and although Biaozi tried his best to delay time, they had advanced 15 kilometers from yesterday to now, and they were only less than 30 kilometers away from our battlefield. ”

Yang Xiaolin's voice was very calm: "Send a telegram to Li Debiao, saying that if there is a reinforcement here, let him learn from Oshima Jiuzhi." ”

Cai Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "There shouldn't be a problem." ”

"If there's any problem, tell him."

Commander Yang raised his body after finishing speaking: "We don't have much time, and Little Japan also knows what it means if we succeed, Nogi Noshinori of the Third Army has already ignored the entanglement of the Fifth Division in Changbai Mountain, and killed all the way here, the speed is very fast, we must kill the Third Division before they arrive." ”

The original task of the Japanese Third Army was to cut off the road for the Volunteers to retreat into Changbai Mountain and cooperate with the approaching Second Army. But now they are no longer entangled with the Fifth Division in Changbai Mountain, and it is obvious that the Japanese are also starting to be anxious, and they have made strategic adjustments, wanting to use the Liliang of the two armies to fight this decisive battle with the Volunteers in Liaoxi.

Cai Yi's brows furrowed, the Japanese fortifications were very good, and the terrain was not conducive to the attack. In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Third Army is very considerable, and Rongben Shengjia has no way to retreat. All of this determined that this battle was bound to be bloody and hard.

The problem in this battle is time, three or four square kilometers of battlefield, maybe the two sides will have to fight inch by inch. Whether or not the Volunteers can catch up with the Third Army is the key to determining victory or defeat.

But no matter how difficult it is, there is no reason to retreat, Cai Yi's hand drew on the sand table: "My combat Jihua is to kill Rongben Shengjia within five days, and today's goal is to clear the outer positions of the Japanese army and compress their defensive line." ”

Yang Xiaolin thought for a moment: "Five days is too slow, can you hurry up?" ”

Cai Yi shook his head slightly: "This is the shortest time we estimate." ”

Yang Xiaolin didn't say anything more, looked at the sand table, and Zuihou tapped his hand on the highest hill in Suzigou. The height of the hill is just over a hundred meters. But it was the highest hill in this area, and there was a Japanese squadron defending on it: "Tell Qian Yao that here, you must take it today." ”

Looking at his watch, it seemed that the attack was about to start, and when he was about to go to the front observation post with Cai Ye to see the battle situation, Yang Du ran in in a hurry: "Commander!" Good news, the affairs of Mongolia Wang Yaqiao have been done, and the guys from Guangxu have not succeeded in ascending the throne! ”

Yang Xiaolin was overjoyed when he heard it. Guangxu's restoration ceremony was not completed, and the Qing Dynasty was not established, which was an unsolvable problem for the Russians, and Lao Maozi needed to find a new excuse to intervene in the Mongolian issue. If they can't find it, the problem of Mongolia is rebellion!

Stretched out his hand and snatched the telegram from Yang Du's hand, which Wang Yaqiao had just sent.

Yang Du's face smiled: "Wang Yaqiao said that Guangxu was buried in the ruins. Although the Russians dug him out, he was not lightly injured. He didn't know the specifics, they were now fleeing from Cullen. ”

Yang Xiaolin's head nodded twice: "Okay!" Send a telegram to Zhang Zuolin immediately. Let him not come back in a hurry, and send a small army out to pick up Wang Yaqiao! ”

"Also, Wang Yaqiao said that Zaitao and Zhao Erxun are also with them."

Commander Yang's expression was slightly stunned: "Zaitao? ”

Yang Du nodded: "Well, Guangxu's palace was blown up by him." ”

Belle Ye's mental process and the situation at that time Commander Yang is now impossible to know, Wang Yaqiao did not know what he said in the telegram, he couldn't figure out how to think about it here, Zaitao, the orthodox prince of the Qing Dynasty, would blow up their own palace and run back with Wang Yaqiao.

If you don't understand it, you don't want to, anyway, as long as Lord Belle comes back, everything can be figured out. What Commander Yang has to do now is to take out the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, and the time for the attack has come.

As a red flare rose into the air, the artillery fire of the Volunteers suddenly became fierce, although they were all small-caliber artillery, but the continuous explosion was also very spectacular. The position of the Japanese 3rd Division was instantly shrouded in artillery fire and thick smoke, and some unlucky arms and thighs flew from time to time, bringing patches of blood red.

It didn't take long for another blue flare to rise, and the earth-shattering artillery fire suddenly stopped! The roaring trumpets of the Volunteers sounded on the battlefield, and the various teams that were already ready for battle jumped out of their trenches and rushed towards the Japanese troops on the opposite side.

After Commander Yang told Qian Yao that he had to take the mountain, Qian Yao gave this task to Shi Xiaowu, and Shi Xiaowu discharged the third battalion of the 14th Regiment, which was the most combat-effective in their brigade.

Guarding that hill was a squadron of about 100 Japanese troops, which belonged to the Japanese reserve infantry brigade. Squadron Leader Sasaki was a student of the Commander of Eimoto Shengjia Division at the Army Military Academy, and Eimoto admired him very much, otherwise he would not have handed over such an important position to troops outside the Third Division to defend.

The mountain is so big, it's useless to put more people, in vain let the artillery of the volunteers increase the battle, so more than a hundred people are enough. These little Japanese had three heavy machine guns, five light machine guns and even two unconscionable guns.

This cannon was not bought by them, it was made by Little Japan itself, and it was a conscienceless cannon of the Shanzhai Volunteers. Everyone is a copycat of good things, not to mention that the jishu content is not high. (To be continued......)
