239 Tune the tiger away from the mountain
When the common people saw the Qing army entering the city, although the image of the Qing soldiers in the minds of the people was not very good, they were better than devils, so they were not to mention how happy, so they piled up the sandbags in their hands on the road and blocked the Japanese cavalry.
So the Japanese cavalry could only make a detour, but when the detour, the Qing army had already arrived, and the two sides started an encounter on the street, in order to be able to drive the Qing army out of the city from the gap at one time, so the Japanese cavalry was relatively large, and the narrow streets made it impossible for them to develop a battle formation, and they were in a hurry for a while, and when the Japanese cavalry got off the horse and opened the formation, dozens of them had fallen.
In the street fighting, it is inevitable to occupy the building, using the building as a cover to shoot, the houses and shops on the street are locked, the Qing soldiers used to knock on the door, called "open the door" in Chinese, the people inside quickly opened the door, and the Japanese army was miserable, they pushed the door outside, and the people inside did not open the door for them at all, and several devils were shot to the ground in this instant. When the Japanese army saw that the people inside did not open the door, they either picked up the butt of the gun and smashed it, or raised their feet and kicked it violently, but the door did not move at all, and it turned out that the common people blocked the tables and cabinets on the door in order to prevent the devils from entering the house, and in this way, the Japanese soldiers were exposed to the guns of the Qing army for a long time.
More Qing soldiers detoured from the flanks to the rear of the Japanese army, where they used mortars, and for a time the cavalry positions rained down with bullets, and the neighing of horses mingled with the screams of men.
Dashanyan originally thought that the strong city defense could be held for a month, but he didn't expect that the city wall would be blown open so soon, and the Qing army poured in, and he vaguely felt that he was going to lose again, so he hurriedly ordered the Japanese army to plug the gap.
Just when the Japanese infantry gathered and moved in the direction of the gap, another huge explosion sounded, and another city wall was blown open a big opening, and it happened to be the soldiers of the Dingwu Army who rushed in, and after they rushed in, they immediately seized several commanding heights in the west of the city, just to block the reinforcements.
Soon, two more large openings were blown open, and the Qing army attacked the city from four directions!
At this time, there was chaos in the underground headquarters of the Japanese army, and the messengers who came in and out brought all the bad news, and Fang Guo, the supervisor of the military station department, called one after another, hoping to bring in another batch of artillery and ammunition from the rear.
The commander of the 1st Division, Motoji Yamachi, roared angrily: "Isn't our Mukden as solid as a rock? Ten days, less than ten days, the bunker group on the outskirts, the two city walls were breached! ”
The Minister of Engineers, Katsuta Sifangzo, bowed his head like a schoolboy who had made a mistake and said nothing, he was the person in charge of the construction of the defense of the city of Mukden, and he knew that Genji of the mountain of the province was blaming himself.
The head of artillery, Yoshimen Kurose, sat on the chair with an innocent face, he may be the only person here who can be arrogant, his artillery has already run out of shells, all the artillery has consciously become infantry, they don't have guns, they use the long pole used to clean the chamber as a weapon, and rush up to fight the Qing army hand-to-hand!
The chief of staff, Inoue Mitsudasa, was struggling to persuade Oyamayan: "General, we must retreat, Fengtian can't hold it!" ”
Dashan Yan didn't say a word, and Inoue Hikaru said: "Now that the situation is here, we must retreat back to North Korea, while the retreat is still in our hands." ”
Shenyang, Liaoyang line, is located in the easternmost part of the Liaohe Plain, after this line, is the Qianshan and Jilin Hadaling, these two mountains are the branches of the Changbai Mountain Range, like two gods overlooking the Liaohe Plain, over these two mountains, it enters North Korea.
In the embrace of the mountains, there is a direct road to North Korea, this road passes through Benxi Lake Mountain, Motianling, Caohebao, Phoenix, Dandong directly into North Korea, Inoue Hikaru is talking about this access road.
Mountain Genji was already crazy at this time, he pointed out that Sang scolded Huaidi and scolded Katsuda Sifangzang, and began to scold Inoue Hikaru again: "How can we retreat, Lin Yuan deliberately left the east gate, didn't he want to ambush us halfway?" Inoue is only Dazuo, the military rank is lower than that of Yamachi Genji, but he does not show weakness in front of him, seeing the appearance of Yamachi Genji, he is about to have a seizure, Yama Yan waved his hand, stopped the quarrel between the two people, and said: "Even if Lin Yuan wants to ambush us, it will not take much advantage, now that Benxi Lake and Mountain are in our hands, we can get there soon." Inoue Hikaru asked, "General, are we going to withdraw?" ”
Dashan Yan said coldly: "No! We have to stick to the end, as long as our reinforcements from Liaoyang and Lushun arrive, the tide of the battle will be reversed in an instant! ”
At this moment, someone suddenly reported: "After the Qing army captured the ancient tower of Tianshun Street, they stopped attacking. "Everyone was stunned, the ancient tower of Tianshun Street is the commanding height and transportation center of the entire western inner city, and it is very easy to continue the attack no matter which direction it takes, why did Lin Yuan order not to attack again?
Also asking this question was Deng Hong, who had just finished guiding the bombing and was reporting to Lin Yuan when he heard this order from Lin Yuan.
Deng Hong asked, "Why did you stop attacking?" If the reinforcements of the Japanese army from Liaoyang Lushun arrive, won't we be attacked on our backs? Our newly built 1st Brigade was too small in number and did not have favorable terrain to stop the Japanese attack. ”
Lin Yuan smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, it's not necessarily who is the enemy on the belly and back?" ”
Lin Yuan used the communicator to contact Han Mingguang and said, "You brought the new army we trained in the Ryukyus, right?" ”
Han Mingguang replied: "According to your request, the new army has a total of 8,000 people, organized into a division and three brigades, and will act with us. ”
Lin Yuan said: "Okay, are you sure to carry out a landing operation?" ”
Han Mingguang said: "We have already chosen the landing field, which is in Jinzhou Bay near Dalian, and by landing from there, we can bypass the strong defensive batteries in front of Lushun and take Lushun from the flank and rear in one fell swoop!" ”
Lin Yuan asked: "How many ships are there in the Japanese fleet in Lushun, have you all reconnoitred clearly?" ”
Han Mingguang said: "We have already reconnoitred clearly, the capital ships of the Japanese army are two Fuji-class battleships, one is called Fuji and the other is called Hachishima, with a displacement of 12,500 tons and a speed of 18 knots; There were also two Shikishima-class battleships, one named Shikishima and the other Asahi, with a displacement of 15,400 tons and a speed of eighteen knots, as well as six cruisers and twelve destroyers. ”
Lin Yuan asked, "Can you bypass them and land?" ”
Han Mingguang said: "Impossible, they have been patrolling near Lushun Dalian, and it is impossible for us not to be discovered by them in our landing operation!" ”
Lin Yuan said: "Okay, let's use a trick to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, you use the aircraft carrier, transfer them out of the port!" Make them unable to patrol! ”
Han Mingguang asked, "This?" Will Japanese warships come after us? ”
Lin Yuan said: "According to the information I have received, the Japanese are very interested in our aircraft carriers, they are looking for us day and night, and if you think of being seen by them, they will definitely come after us." ”
Han Mingguang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why bother, we have such a strong air superiority, wouldn't it be better to sink them directly?" ”
Lin Yuan hurriedly said, "Don't sink them!" ”
Han Mingguang hurriedly asked, "What is it for?" ”
