The 500 cavalry of the Qing army attacked the trench, and then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army in the trench, they had already prepared, carrying knives and axes and other weapons suitable for close combat, and the rifles and bayonets of the Japanese soldiers could not be used in the trenches, and they quickly fell behind.

Some Japanese soldiers discarded their spears, picked up the sapper shovels on the position, and fought hand-to-hand with the Qing soldiers, but the Japanese army had already suffered from the shelling, and their combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced.

For the Japanese army, what is even worse is that the Qing army broke into the trench from five positions, so that the Japanese army's defensive position was divided into several sections, so that the Japanese soldiers had no bottom in their hearts, because they did not know how many Qing troops there were, thinking that the defensive position had been fully broken through, so many grassroots commanders also muttered in their hearts, not knowing whether they wanted to retreat or fight to the death.

If the middle-level commanders can calm down and organize a counterattack in time, there is still a possibility that the tide of the battle will be reversed, but unfortunately, after they reported the news to the high-level, they began to struggle with the machine gun of the bunker that has not sounded! After all, the bunker is their killer weapon in the defensive formation! By the time they thought of sending reinforcements, the situation was beyond their control.

The Qing soldiers quickly occupied the trenches and attacked the higher trenches parallel to the bunker, where the soldiers suffered heavy casualties from the first wave of artillery fire, and were no match for the Qing soldiers.

After a period of panic, the Japanese army finally decided to send reinforcements from Fengtian City to the periphery, but because Lin Yuan concealed the direction of his main attack, the defenders in the northwest city were lax, and the assembly time increased from the original ten minutes to twenty-five minutes. Don't underestimate this short fifteen minutes, in these fifteen minutes, the disabled Japanese defenders were completely routed, and the defensive positions in the northwest section of Shenyang's periphery had all fallen into the hands of the Qing army.

The Qing army occupied the position, the first thing was to open the secret door of the bunker, send people in, and move out all the machine guns that could be used, at the beginning of the shelling, the Japanese thought that the Qing army was going to start attacking, so the machine gunners were behind the machine guns, ready to shoot at any time, and the fragments came at once, just killing the machine gunners on the machine guns, and their flesh naturally became the protective cover of the machine guns.

Therefore, there are as many as 28 machine guns that the Qing army can use, and these machine guns do not need to dig bunkers, and one above the bunker is a natural machine gun bunker.

Lin Yuan gave another order, all the artillery on standby in the battalion was dispatched to assist the Qing army to protect the position, and the armor fragmentation shells using the pre-control fragmentation technique and the black sokin charge were simply the natural enemies of the infantry, and the soldiers of the Japanese shock could not take advantage of it, leaving more than 100 corpses and retreating to Shenyang City.

By daybreak, the Qing army had completely occupied the outer defensive positions in the northwest section, while the defenders in the southwest did not dare to reinforce the Dingwu army for fear that they would take advantage of the weakness. Lin Yuan knew very well that this battle could be won, and Liu Shijiu and more than a dozen of them made great contributions, if they hadn't captured the hilltop position, the rest of the matter would not have happened.

If they didn't reward Liu Nineteen and them well, the other soldiers would definitely be chilled, but Lin Yuan had to take Shenyang in one go, and if the Japanese army was given a chance to breathe, it would be difficult to fight, so there would be no time to celebrate their achievements.

Lin Yuan came up with the best of both worlds, on the one hand, he ordered them to be rewarded with silver, and on the other hand, he invited them to reconnoiter the Japanese city wall defenses with him.

Being able to scout with the boss is a great honor for a small soldier!

Lin Yuan took Liu 19 and a group of staff members to patrol outside the city of Shenyang, he raised his binoculars and looked carefully at the city defense of Shenyang, and after seeing it, he couldn't help but gasp.

The city wall of Shenyang is built on the basis of the acropolis of Shenyang in the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the blow of the Ming army, the city is high and deep, the solid is abnormal, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty has entered the customs for more than 200 years, but this city defense is still like a high mountain in front of the besiegers.

The city wall is thirteen meters high, there is a horse face every 100 meters, the so-called horse face is the part that protrudes from the city wall, the lower width is narrow and the upper is narrow, the shape is like a horse face, hence the name, the existence of this wall, so that the siege troops have to face the blow from three directions, at the side of the horse face 15 meters, there is a platform built again, this is a building more than three meters high above the city wall, people are on it, can condescendingly strike the besiegers.

Look at the wall again, there is a big net hanging on the wall, the net is loaded with barbs, spikes, if the siege force wants to set up a ladder to attack the city, the soldiers are likely to be killed and injured by the net, the middle of the wall is also open, these mouths are not used to shoot, but to exhaust smoke, when the enemy is attacking the city, the defenders burn debris in the city, release pungent smoke, and then discharge the smoke from these smoke vents, these smoke is heavier than the air, can interfere with the besiegers under the city.

Lin Yuan looked at the city wall and thought to himself: "There are bombs with a diameter of one ton on the carrier-based aircraft, and I can also use a laser to aim at this distance, no matter how thick the city wall is, it can blow you up!" ”

Lin Yuan looked outside the city wall, under the wall was a moat, more than ten meters wide, but at this time the river was frozen, so there was no need to worry, when he looked again, he saw a lot of things scattered on the ground outside the city, too far away to see clearly, Lin Yuan asked: "What are those things on the ground?" ”

Liu Shijiu hurriedly ran up and picked one back, fortunately the Japanese soldiers in the city did not find him, Liu Shijiu handed over the things to Lin Yuan, retreated to the side and did not dare to speak, Wu Yuankai asked: "Lin Shuai, do you know this thing?" ”

Lin Yuan carefully looked at this thing, and found that it was very similar to the modern non-inverted nails, the so-called non-inverted nails, that is, two steel nails are connected together with a steel bar, after the connection, the two steel nails are not in the same plane, and the planes where they are located are perpendicular to each other, so that no matter how this thing is thrown, it will ensure that there is a steel nail with the tip facing upward, and it can be used to block the advancing infantry or vehicles in modern warfare, sometimes tens of thousands of pieces are scattered.

Lin Yuan threw it on the ground casually, and stood up obediently without falling down the nail, Lin Yuan smiled: "Do you know what he did?" ”

Wu Yuankai exclaimed in surprise and said, "It seems that this Shenyang City is difficult to fight!" ”

Lin Yuan didn't care at all, such an iron nail would not be able to stop the attacking troops.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report: "Lin Shuai, I caught a spy, I have to say that I want to see you!" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "How do you know that he is a spy?" ”

The person replied: "Qi Lin Shuai, the Japanese have sealed Fengtian City, and those who can come out are naturally the ones who do things for the Japanese." ”

Lin Yuan followed the visitor to the tent where the spy was held, and when he lifted the curtain, he saw a young man lying inside, tied like a dumpling, with a ball of rags stuffed in his mouth, and a sound in his throat.

The soldier said: "This spy doesn't admit it, and he talks vigorously, and we are annoyed, so we tie him here." ”

Lin Yuan made a look, the soldier stepped forward and took out the rag from his mouth, the man coughed a few times, struggled to kneel, and said to Lin Yuan: "Shangguan, you must not attack the city!" ”
