Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I have long ordered a battalion of infantry to ambush outside the Nine Gates, and as soon as the Japanese troops at the Little North Gate withdraw, they will enter the city from the Nine Gates, copy behind them, and wrap dumplings for them." ”

When Xiong Tiesheng and Wu Yuankai were surprised, the herald reported again: "The Japanese army has been defeated and retreated on all fronts, and the forward of the Fengzi battalion of the Kaizi army has entered Shunyi Street. Xiong Tiesheng heard that the Kaizi army had the upper hand, and his face was full of disbelief, so Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Order the Yongzi Battalion and the Mengzi Battalion of the Tiezi Army to move in the direction of the Great West Gate after entering the city, and after occupying the Great West Gate, go out of the city to meet the Dingwu Army." ”

After receiving the order, the two battalions of infantry pounced on Shenyang City like a group of tigers descending from the mountain, and after entering the city, they attacked in the direction of Daximen.

In street fighting, the intersection is an important target, and by seizing the intersection, you can monitor the enemy's movements, and you can also annihilate the enemy at the intersection.

It is more prosperous between Xiaoximen and Daximen, and there are more roads, and the Qing army fought here, mainly to seize the intersection and commanding heights. The Japanese army had long been prepared for this, and they set up bunkers at major intersections to check passers-by in peacetime, and used them to defend against the Qing army's attack in wartime.

Shenyang has three city walls, the outermost outer city, the middle is the inner city, the innermost imperial city, is the place where the royal family lived before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Japanese army put the defense focus on the city defense, most of the machine guns are deployed on the front line of the city wall, they did not expect that the Qing army attacked the city without much effort, the machine guns in the outer city could not be taken back, and the machine guns in the inner city could not be moved, so the Japanese army suffered a big loss in the defensive operation.

In the hands of the Japanese army, there is only a rifle with a pitifully slow rate of fire, in response to this, when the Qing army attacked, the Green fast gun was the lead, the Qing army loaded the Green fast gun on the car, and the people pushed it behind, and the two sides of the Green fast gun were guarded, and the so-called guard plate was placed on both sides of the barrel, so as to protect the shooter.

The Qing army gave full play to their ingenuity, they found a quilt, soaked it with water, and then spread it on the iron plate, which was equivalent to adding another layer of armor to the iron plate, and the Qing army pushed it and walked to the Japanese bunker at the corner of the street, firing artillery while walking, nearly 20 mm shells, a dozen rounds can beat the Japanese bunker into a sieve.

In fact, such a weapon also has a fatal shortcoming, that is, it can't deal with the threat on the head, so as long as you set up a position on the building on the street, you can effectively suppress the Qing army's Green fast artillery, but after all, war is not a game, and there is no chance to start over after death, and many grassroots commanders of the Japanese army only thought of this method when they were dying.

The Qing army was like a bamboo, and soon advanced to a place only about a kilometer away from the Great West Gate. The supreme commander of the Japanese army, Dashan Yan, after hearing the news, couldn't believe his ears, the Qing army broke through the outer city defense overnight, and attacked the city within two days, and now it is only three hours before the Qing army enters the city, and the big west gate is about to be lost.

For Dashanyan, there are too many mysteries in the battle in the past few days, why the bunker didn't fire a single shot, and how the Qing army opened the city gate and rushed in, but these things have passed, and he doesn't want to think about it anymore, and the thing to decide in front of him is: Do you want to withdraw the defenders outside the city?

If it is withdrawn, the Dingwu army will take advantage of the situation to enter the city, then most of the western part of Fengtian City will be ceded to the Qing army, if it is not withdrawn, the Qing army will go out of the city and attack the outer defenders on both sides!

After thinking about it for a while, Dashanyan finally made a decision, he wanted to implement another plan, that is, to drag down the Qing army in the street battle, in the street battle, whether the terrain is familiar is the key to victory, the Japanese army undoubtedly has an advantage in this point, and he wants to carry out street fighting, there is a more important reason - he wants to encircle Lin Yuan in Fengtian.

Lin Yuan wanted to fight Mukden, largely because he had defeated Mukden, and cut off the Japanese army in the north and south, and the Japanese army in the north had fewer troops and was not worried, so he could concentrate on dealing with the Japanese army in the direction of Lushun and Dalian; Dashanyan decided to defend Mukden, the purpose was to use the strong defense of Mukden, consume Lin Yuan's strength, and wait for the fighter plane to appear, and immediately mobilize a large number of troops from the direction of Liaoyang and Lushun to encircle Lin Yuan.

But he didn't expect that Lin Yuan would break through Fengtian's defenses almost effortlessly, and the heavy task of dragging Lin Yuan back seemed to have to fall on the shoulders of street fighting.

So Dashanyan immediately ordered, in the southwest, the Japanese army opposite the Dingwu Army withdrew to the city, and transferred to the position defense, the order, the outer defenders immediately withdrew to the city, and when the outer defenders withdrew, Dashanyan ordered the Japanese army to abandon Daximen and turn into the city for defensive operations.

The Japanese army in the inner city also eased up, out of the city to support the Japanese army in the outer city, the Qing army's attack gradually became very difficult, an hour to advance less than 100 meters, many streets even changed hands several times, when it was dark, both sides invariably stopped fighting, the Qing army in a one-day attack, occupied most of the western city.

Next, the focus of the battle was all on the street fighting, if the Qing army defeated Mukden before the Japanese army encircled, it could use the city defense to win the reinforcements from Liaoyang, if the Qing army failed to do it, it would be surrounded by Liaoyang's reinforcements, and the whole army would be annihilated.

Xiong Tiesheng and Wu Yuankai were very puzzled by Lin Yuan's order to stop the attack, Xiong Tiesheng first asked: "Now why don't we strike while the iron is hot, and go to the inner city in one go!" ”

Wu Yuankai also said: "Yes, Lin Shuai, if you wait for the Japanese army to slow down, it will be difficult to fight." ”

Lin Yuan swiped his hand on the map and said: "Look at where we are now, the buildings are not very dense, if you push forward, the buildings are very dense, and the defense goal of the Japanese army is to use street fighting to drag us down, so the Japanese army will definitely be heavily fortified in these building complexes." Wu Yuankai said: "Lin Shuai, then don't we all have to fight here sooner or later?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Fighting is going to fight, but it's not you who are going to fight, I have already transferred a surprise army." ”

Xiong Tiesheng hurriedly said: "Lin Shuai, are you saying that we can't beat it?" ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "There is a way to specialize in art, the subordinates of the two generals are good at field battles, and this strange army I transferred, they are the best at street fighting!" ”

While he was talking, someone came to report: "There is a unit from outside the battalion, can Lin Shuai let them in?" ”

Lin Yuan listened, and said to Wu Yuankai and Xiong Tiesheng: "Our street battle wonder soldier is here, come and take a look with me." ”

When everyone came to the outside of the camp, they saw nearly 1,000 people sitting neatly in the open space, and what was surprising was that no one spoke, which shows the strictness of military discipline.

Lin Yuan stepped forward, and a person stood up in front of the crowd and yelled at everyone: "Stand up!" And when they sat down in a dense manner, when they heard the shouting, they all stood up and stood upright.

The man then shouted, "Look to the right, look forward!" At ease! Attention! The sound was so loud that Wu Yuankai and Xiong Tiesheng's ears were "buzzing".

The man ran to Lin Yuan and saluted with a "snap", Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It's all in this era, don't come to ask for instructions and report that set of procedures again." So he waved his hand again and again.

In our army's practice of asking for instructions and reporting, the subordinates salute, the superiors should return the salute, if the superiors don't put their hands down, the subordinates will not put their hands down, and the person saw that Lin Yuan didn't return the salute, so he kept raising his hand on his temple.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to return the salute, and the man said: "The first brigade has been assembled, please instruct, acting brigade commander, Deng Hong!" ”
