Chapter 210: The pursuers are ahead

Under the fierce shelling, Siping City seemed to be crumbling, and Gao Shifu also fought a lot of battles, but he dealt with bandits and horse thieves, and he was a group of bandits.

As a result, as soon as the two armies fought, Gao Shifu felt a burst of panic, he had never seen such ferocious firepower, and the cannon barely survived from the beginning of the roar. Moreover, the artillery of the Feng army not only fought a lot, but also hit accurately, the old city wall has been beaten to pieces, and the soldiers of the Ji army have also suffered a large number of casualties.

Gao Shifu is still ruthless, and he is not willing to admit defeat like this, after all, the number of people on both sides is about the same, his subordinates are still cavalry, and his back is against Jiancheng, if he can't withstand a wave of attacks from the Feng army, he will be too embarrassed, and he will not be able to mix in the future.

Therefore, Gao Shiwei organized a team of warlords and took out all the opium from the ocean, which was also the usual means of the Beiyang Army to fight, and relied on these to motivate the soldiers. However, Gao Shifu still had a whim, and he ordered to besiege several Fengyue fields in the city and get the girls inside.

As long as the soldiers under his command are brave in battle, they can reward one, and if they defeat the Feng army, it is not without hope that they will start a family. For the vast majority of ordinary soldiers, it is indeed very difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, there is basically no military salary left, and the status is lowly, and few girls from good families are willing to follow them.

There was also such a joke in the barracks, where some soldiers had saved up for a long time, slapped a few pieces of ocean on the table, and told their companions that they could buy one leg, and after a while they would save another leg, but they wanted to piece together a whole person. I don't know when it will be.

Gao Shifu knew the virtues of his gang very well, and came up with a trick to motivate them with the eldest girl, and finally the Ji army finally regained a trace of courage and stabilized its position, and at this time, the offensive of the Feng army was also launched.

After several battles, the Feng army also summed up a set of effective siege strategies, the core of which is to concentrate on vitality, as long as it breaks through. The opposing fronts will collapse completely.

On a tactical level, defense has an advantage over attack, after all, the defending side can rely on various fortifications to protect itself, and the attacking side can only be exposed. But from a strategic point of view, the attacking side has a greater advantage. Because the attacking side is an arrow, as long as the arrow is strong enough. Just drill through each other. On the defensive side, however, it is a line, and it will cost more time.

The Feng army seized on this weakness of the other side, pinned down the eastern and western cities, and then attacked the southern city, with artillery providing long-range cover, close to the broken city wall. Concentrated machine guns and used a storm-like offensive to suppress the Ji army, so that they could not raise their heads. Then the soldiers of the Feng army, in the gap of the fire network, quickly passed through, approached the opponent's position, and launched an attack.

As long as the two sides get close, it becomes a pure contest of individual quality and equipment, at this point, the Ji army is even more completely inferior, the Feng army's marksmanship is more accurate than theirs, and the water bead rifle in the hand is also better than them, and the Feng army also has two pieces of equipment that they can't compare, that is, pistols and grenades.

In hand-to-hand firefights, the pistol is definitely a very terrible weapon, a nine-millimeter bullet can easily kill a bear, if it hits a person's body, it is an eye the size of a bowl, and it will kill you on the spot, as for the role of the grenade, the role of the grenade is even greater, the Ji army does not know how to deal with the attack of the grenade, after all, this thing has not been popularized in the Chinese army, and the Feng army is the earliest equipment.

The grenade smoked and fell into the position of the Ji army, and the violent explosion took a large number of lives, and in this way, the Feng army was like a drill, steadily advancing towards the city, step by step, almost unstoppable.

Gao Shiwei also red-eyed, he wanted to rush up and fight with Fengjun, at this time Wu Tai'an ran over under the protection of the guards, the old man was already in his fifties, and he shouldn't go to the battlefield, but Meng Enyuan was worried that his nephew was too reckless and would cause any more trouble, so he had to let Wu Tai'an look at him.

"Brigade commander, the Feng army's offensive is too fierce, your safety is at stake, so let's retreat quickly."

Gao Shiwei shook his head like a rattle, and said indignantly: "Old Wu, this is the first confrontation between us and Zhang Xiaoren, if we retreat like this, how can we get mixed up?" I must fight with him to break the net, otherwise I will not be a dignified seven-foot man. ”

Wu Tai'an also knew that Gao Shifu was a stubborn donkey's temper, and he would not turn back if he did not hit the south wall, so he could only retreat, and he said in a low voice: "Brigade commander, even if you don't retreat, you can't be stupid, go to the Japanese, let them come out and drive the Feng army out." ”

Gao Shifu's eyes also lit up, and he immediately asked, "Old Wu, how should I talk to the Japanese?" ”

"Isn't this simple, Siping is on the line of the Manchurian Railway, and there are also Japanese railway annexes here, so let them say that no war is allowed in the annexes, and no Feng troops are allowed to enter, so that the Feng army will not be blocked!"

"High, this trick is really high!" Gao Shifu praised again and again, at this time, Gao Shifu couldn't care about anything, Siping was already crumbling, if he didn't get reinforcements as soon as possible, he couldn't stand it at all.

Just when Gao Shiwei was in contact with the Japanese, Zhang Zuoxiang urged his subordinates to step up the attack. In fact, before sending troops this time, Zhang Tinglan repeatedly said to his father that the battle must pay attention to a quick victory, win quickly, and do not give all parties time to react.

Any military operation on the ground in the northeast must take into account the attitude of the Japanese, and there is no harmony between the Feng army and the Japanese at present, and if it is delayed for a long time, the Japanese will definitely intervene. Therefore, if you want to fight, you must be lightning fast, and before the opponent can make a move, a fatal blow will be blown.

Zhang Tinglan was able to quickly quell the rebellion in southern Liaoning, and this method was also used, and within a few days, the rebels from all walks of life were scattered, and the Japanese had no marionettes in front, unless they wanted to go into battle shirtless, otherwise they could only stop.

Zhang Zuoxiang also understands this ideal very well, so after launching an offensive, there is no room for maneuver at all, and it is completely overwhelming by Mount Tai, destroying the withering and decaying.

Dense artillery had smashed the southern wall to pieces, and the vanguard of the Feng army had penetrated deep into the city. The follow-up troops also frantically poured in. Some of the Ji troops tried to resist, but all of them were solved by the Feng army with pistols and grenades.

Near the city wall, there is also a blue brick compound, where a lot of Gao Shifu's henchmen are gathered, and they are fighting desperately, at this time, a soldier of the Feng army tied several grenades together, climbed dozens of meters, approached the gate of the courtyard, and threw the grenade violently.

At this time, an earth-shattering sound was heard, and the bricks and limestones were blown apart. The dust rose to the sky, and several of the soldiers guarding it were immediately killed, and the Feng army successfully entered it and eliminated all the people inside.

At this time, the Fengjun Brigade had basically occupied Nanguan, and the Ji army was defeated and retreated. The army was defeated, and at this time the east and west gates were also breached. Of course, this is not the credit of Fengjun. It was the merchants of the city who did it. Meng Enyuan closed down the Jilin General Chamber of Commerce and arrested a large number of businessmen.

Angered by the heavens, these merchants had long been looking forward to the Feng army, so when they saw that the Ji army was almost defeated, they bought off the soldiers defending the city and opened the city gates. There were soldiers of the Feng army on three sides, and the Ji army could no longer hold on, and it retreated like a tide.

At this time, Gao Shiwei came back from the Japanese, and Wu Tai'an hurriedly asked, "Brigade commander." What's the matter, if the Japanese don't send troops, we'll be finished! ”

"Damn, those little devils are simply not human, they let us hold on first, as long as we hold on for two or three days, they can transfer the troops over."

"Two or three days?" Wu Tai'an blew his beard and glared and said, "Can you survive two or three hours and talk about it?" ”

Before Wu Tai'an's words landed, a cannonball exploded only a hundred meters away from them, five or six soldiers were blown to pieces and flew into the sky, and the surrounding buildings were also damaged, and the huge explosion made Gao Shiwei and Wu Tai'an panic.

"Brigade Commander, retreat quickly, or we'll die here!"

Gao Shifu gritted his teeth and stomped his foot fiercely, and at this time, he could only turn around and run. As soon as he ran, the entire Ji army collapsed, and it can be said that the army was defeated. The soldiers threw their guns everywhere, and one grabbed a war horse and ran away. As soon as some people saw that the Feng army had been killed, they could only take off their military uniforms and get into the houses, trying to hide from the world and cross the sea.

At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang had already commanded the army to sweep over, on the one hand, let the Feng army step up the pursuit of deserters, on the other hand, to capture prisoners, restore the order of Siping, extinguish the fire, clean up the battlefield, and now the weather is hot, the corpses and wounded must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise there will be epidemics.

Just when Zhang Zuoxiang hurried to restore order in the city, Gao Shiwei was gathering the remnants of the defeated generals, and hurried to flee for his life, when he came, he brought more than 3,000 people, all of whom were his carefully trained subordinates, but a battle was fought, and only about 1,000 people were left who he could gather, and more than 2,000 cavalry were lost.

Gao Shiwei's heart is dripping blood, originally these cavalry are his biggest capital, there is not enough shili, how can he be domineering, and now the first battle has almost been beaten back to its original shape, so that Gao Shifu hurts into the bone marrow, and the pain goes crazy.

But at this time, he couldn't care about anything, he could only run away desperately, don't let the pursuers behind him kill him, he ran out of more than 20 miles in a row, finally took a breath, and then continued to escape.

At this time, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, Gao Shifu thought that reinforcements were coming, so he was very pleased, urging the war horse to go over and see, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and at this time the other party suddenly lined up, revealing five chariots, all of which were pointed at them.

At the sound of an order, five tongues of fire erupted, and most of the people around Gao Shiwei were killed in an instant, and he was lucky enough to barely dodge the shooting, but at this time he was already a dead soul.

Isn't this the kind of strange carriage that he encountered at the beginning of the battle, but Gao Shifu knew the stakes of this thing, so he could only flee by the way, and did not dare to fight at all.

However, his luck was obviously not good, and soon several chariots appeared in front of him, and they started shooting, and Gao Shifu continued to escape, encountering three or four waves before and after, blocking their escape routes, Gao Shifu was simply mad with anger, and at the same time he was terrified.

There are fewer and fewer soldiers under him, the opponent's chariots are not at all the same as the ordinary soldiers responsible for interception, the opponent's mobility is almost no longer below them, after the fight, these chariots will move quickly, because they are divided into four teams, basically one team to block, and the other three teams to accelerate their maneuvers and get ready in front.

After adopting the wheel tactic, these chariots were like maggots on the tarsal bones, constantly dangling in front, biting off a piece of meat from time to time, without any politeness. Gao Shifu wanted to bypass these chariots, but the investigators had already been arranged, and they didn't give them a chance to escape at all.

Gao Shifu was also ruthless, so he simply let the soldiers rush hard, trying to destroy these nasty chariots, but you ran fast, and the chariot was not slow, you slowed down, and the chariot also slowed down, showing a completely strange situation on the battlefield, the chasing soldiers were always ahead, and in the face of heavy losses under his hands, Gao Shifu was almost crazy.
