Chapter 174: Siege Emergency
Fang Wenhua's sudden surrender caught everyone off guard, and Yang Yuting lost his former calmness, and hurriedly said: "Humble words, Fang Wenhua surrendered, will his brother Fang Wendong also have problems?" ”
Zhao Pei, a staff officer on the side, said with some doubts: "The town guard envoy has always been very good to the other party Wendong, how could he betray the town guard envoy?" ”
"Staff Officer Zhao, as far as you know, what is the relationship between Fang Wendong's brothers?"
"Fang Wenhua is a straw bale, all promoted by his brother." When Zhao Pei said this, his face turned red, and he didn't say any more, obviously, since Fang Wenhua was a rice bucket, this kind of big thing was definitely not something he could decide, and Fang Wendong was probably involved.
"Lingge, the Japanese are really insidious and vicious, and I'm worried that something has gone wrong with Ma Longtan."
Yang Yuting's face was pale, and he nodded and said: "Although Ma Longtan is a little stupid, he will definitely not give his life to the Japanese, and now that the Fang brothers have rebelled, they are very likely to cooperate with the outside world, and controlling Ma Longtan is also an inevitable choice." ”
The atmosphere present was suddenly depressed to the extreme, the rebels are not terrible, internal problems are the most fatal, Fang Wendong is the second person after Ma Longtan, once he defects, the entire Dongbian Dao will collapse in an instant, this is half of Fengtian, not to mention Zhang Tinglan, even Zhang Zuolin can't afford it.
Zhang Tinglan clenched her fists tightly, her bones were white, and her nails had penetrated deep into her flesh, but she didn't know it at all.
"No wonder the Japanese insisted on letting the revolutionary party cause trouble when it was clear that they had no chance of winning, it turned out that they were still hiding such a killing move, and we still underestimated the enemy."
"In this case, should we give up attacking Donggang and quickly transfer the army back. Hold Xiuyan and other places first, then figure out the situation in Fengcheng, and then ask the marshal for reinforcements, after all, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the eastern province, and our shili is still too weak. ”
Yang Yuting was also frightened, they only had one regiment of soldiers in their hands, and they were in the hinterland of southern Liaoning, so they could be surrounded by enemies, and the safest way was to hold on and wait for reinforcements. After all, Fengcheng couldn't figure out the situation, so he fought rashly. It is necessary to bear a considerable risk, Zhang Tinglan's mind spun rapidly, and he carefully thought about countermeasures.
The current situation is extremely bad, and the entire Dongbian Road is in danger and taking a wrong step. It will never be recovered, so Zhang Tinglan can't be cautious.
He thought and thought. Still shook his head firmly: "Neighbor." has always exterminated the rebels, the key word is fast, the sooner the better, don't give them time to prepare, even if Ma Longtan really has a problem, but at least I'm sure. The soldiers of the Eastern Side Road will not all defect to the Fang brothers. The morale of the army is unstable, and it is not terrible how many people there are, but once it is delayed, I will ask the commander again. Waiting for reinforcements is a missed opportunity, and the Japanese will also use this time to transport weapons and exert diplomatic influence, we can't afford to wait! ”
Zhang Tinglan couldn't afford to wait, and completely made Yang Yuting sober up, his seemingly safe method actually hid the biggest hidden danger, that is, the opponent of the Feng army was not a mere rebel, but the Japanese! Let Liaonan make trouble, and they can completely expand the garrison under the slogan of maintaining public order and protecting overseas Chinese, and this is the real fatality.
"Clumsy words, you still think it makes sense, what to do now, just listen to your order!"
Zhang Tinglan also encountered such a dangerous situation for the first time, he suppressed the waves in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Neighbor Ge, everything is according to the original plan, since the rebels have entered Donggang, let's storm Donggang and take it down." Staff Officer Zhao, your current task is to contact all the officers of the Eastern Side Road, and you must find out the situation of the envoy of Ma Zhen. ”
After Zhang Tinglan's order was issued, all the troops moved quickly, and Yang Yuting asked his subordinates to report the situation to Fengtian as soon as possible and ask for Lao Zhang's support.
The Feng army has fought several field battles, but there is no experience in attacking the city, Zhang Tinglan first sent a large number of scouts to investigate the situation, and soon the soldiers came back to report that in the southwest of Donggang, there is a large area of military camps, stationed thousands of soldiers, if you want to attack the city, you must first take here.
The area of Donggang is not large, and the number of troops that can be stationed is limited, originally Fang Wenhua had a regiment of soldiers in his hands, and He Tianjiong brought more than 3,000 people, which could not fit at all, so they could only camp outside the city.
These people are used to being lazy, and they have run a long way, but they can't go into the city to rest, so they are full of complaints. In the ice and snow, no matter how well the tent is set up, it can't withstand the northwest wind, so there are many complaints.
They are not good at stubble, they have run to the city, snatched the people's cotton clothes and quilts, some uncles simply did not leave, and seized all the houses, these people also fought because of the robbery of housing.
Homeless people can only go to He Tianjiong to ask for an explanation, aren't you the protector army, don't you want to eliminate Yuan Shikai for the sake of the people! Why do you have the face to rob the people's things, and you are more ruthless than Yuan Shikai, and you don't have a way to live at all.
Before the people could rush to the county office, they were beaten and expelled from the city by those rebels, and the entire Donggang was in chaos at once.
Zhang Tinglan's army approached the outside of the city, and these people woke up like a dream, and hurriedly prepared for defense, but it was obviously a little late, seeing the chaotic crowd, Yang Yuting also secretly admired, Zhang Tinglan's judgment was right, the rebels only occupied Donggang for a few hours, and everything was not ready.
Taking advantage of their confusion, they just wanted their lives, and the soldiers of the Feng army were also eager to try. Zhang Tinglan hurriedly prepared the soldiers for battle, built positions and bunkers, set up machine guns and artillery, and sent cavalry to guard and cover.
Feng Jun is actively preparing for war here, and it is Gu Renyi who is in charge of the big camp outside the city, he never dreamed that Feng Jun would appear so soon, and he also set up a position to attack Donggang, Gu Renyi didn't care with all his heart.
Since the Xinhai year, he has dealt with all kinds of armies, and these Qiu Ba saw that they were cheap, and they rushed faster than anyone else, but they felt bad, and the speed of escape was also the first in the world. Now that the Fang family brothers are anyway, they have already taken the lead, so they will naturally win, and they don't have to worry about it at all.
Therefore, Gu Renyi was full of confidence, and directly ordered these people to attack the Feng army, and he also put out a few machine guns, and the artillery was also ready, first released a burst of artillery, but his artillery was really lacking in training, basically no shells could hit accurately, and the Feng soldiers were not threatened at all.
Zhang Tinglan saw that they were so dished, so he simply didn't let the artillery fire, and when he beat them to a rout, he went to capture the artillery completely, and listened to the movement, these artillery pieces are all Japanese 41-type mountain artillery, the Feng army is now hungry and hungry, as long as there are cannons, it just happened that a batch was captured before, and these guys are the transport brigade of the Feng army.
After Gu Renyi set off a burst of artillery, he commanded his men to attack, and the dense crowd rushed towards the Feng army, looking very amazing. But there are no rules at all, and there is no pay attention to tactics, Zhang Tinglan saw it in his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, no matter how calculating it is, just rely on this gang of waste and never think about it!
Seeing these people rushing over, Zhang Tinglan gave the order to open fire, the equipment of the Feng army is naturally not comparable to the rebels, and a large number of machine guns were captured from Pu Wei's hands, and now they are all useful, and on the position, every one or two hundred meters, a machine gun is placed.
The machine-gun unit was the first to open fire, and tongues of fire pounced on the gang of debris, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of people were swept away, blood stained the snow red, and mutilated corpses were everywhere.
The battle was so bloody that all the rebels felt a little bad in their hearts, but Gu Renyi behind didn't notice it, and urged his subordinates to launch a faster charge.
Dense gunfire rang out from the positions of the Feng army, and at this time the usual level of training was all reflected, and at about a hundred meters, the hit rate of the Feng army was quite high. The sharpshooters were even more powerful, they could shoot the enemy from a distance of 150 meters, which was much worse than the Japanese army, but it was enough to deal with this rabble.
They all target those who rush to the front, these guys are often the fierce generals of bandits and bandits, and they usually lead the charge, as long as they can abolish these people, the combat effectiveness of the rebels will be weakened by more than half.
Soon, the front of the Feng army's position was full of dense corpses, all over the place, blocking the way of the rebels' charge. The gang didn't feel much when they charged, but as their companions were killed one by one, they finally felt the horror, could it be that the other party was all sharpshooters!
If that's the case, what else to fight, just after they dropped one or two hundred corpses, finally some people began to turn and run away, and there were two of them, which soon triggered an avalanche-like effect, and the originally menacing charge turned into a complete rout.
Gu Renyi didn't expect that his soldiers would be so devoid, usually when these guys want to eat and drink, grab military salaries, and get benefits, no one has ever lagged behind. As a result, when he arrived on the battlefield, he became a bunch of bears, which made Gu Renyi crazy, he took a pistol and killed several deserters in a row.
However, their thunderbolt tactics did not have any effect, and a few deserters were still dissatisfied, and secretly pointed their guns at Gu Renyi, wanting to kill this commander.
Seeing the defeated rebels, Zhang Tinglan also ordered the artillery to attack, and the dense shells smashed towards the rebels' ranks. The rebels were so untrained that when they fled, they always gathered in crowded places, and as a result, a dozen people were killed and many more were injured when a shell went down.
They all ran for their lives, scrambling to flee into the city, and the Feng soldiers, under the cover of machine guns and artillery, successfully seized the large camp outside the city, and then the artillery aimed at the walls of Donggang and began a fierce bombardment.
The city wall of the county town is very thin, and when a cannonball falls, the bricks on the city wall will be broken a lot, and after a few cannons, the city wall will crack, and the hearts of the rebels in the city will also be broken. (To be continued......)
