Day 10, south of Shenyang City.

The Fifth Army of the National Defense Army, directly under the military headquarters, poked his head out of a trench in the east, followed by more than a dozen elite soldiers who did not collect the night and did not collect them, some of them looked around and were on guard, some were holding a wooden board with straw paper, and were writing and painting with charcoal, some were using a clairhand to observe the situation in Shenyang City in the distance, and the rest of the soldiers were quietly waiting in the trench.

At this time, Laidong also held a clairvoyant mirror to observe the city wall of Shenyang City, only to see that the city wall in the east section of the south has been dilapidated, almost no complete arrows can be seen, the city head is full of messy accumulations, there are all kinds of gravel, wood, large and small materials, and even the corpses of the Qing army that have not had time to be transported down are piled on the city wall.

"The eastern section of the south, numbered 017 city wall, is moderately intact, the gap is none, and the Qing army is making every effort to repair it!"

"The eastern section of the south, numbered No. 018 city wall, is moderately intact to low, with two gaps, and the Qing army is making every effort to repair it!"

The soldiers who were in charge of recording on the side recorded all the words of the soldiers, and the soldiers who were good at painting also drew the general situation of this section of the city wall and used it as an auxiliary record.

At this time, Laidong noticed through the clairvoyant mirror that there were many Qing soldiers on the city wall in the distance, carrying all kinds of wood and stones, towards the two gaps, it seemed that they were going to take advantage of the lack of artillery shelling of the Ming army today, and speed up the repair of these two places.

Lai Dong frowned slightly, in fact, the best situation should be that the artillery of all parts should continue to bombard, not give the Qing army time and opportunity to repair the city wall, and then observe the weak links of the city wall in Shenyang City.

However, because the artillery of each unit fired too much ammunition yesterday, there is now very little artillery ammunition left in the storage of various units of the Ming army, and even if they open fire, it is estimated that they will not even be able to use it for half an hour, and the artillery of each department will be completely dumb.

"Alas!"

Laidong had no choice but to sigh, in terms of the madness of the Qing army, if the Beiyang Fleet could not deliver the ammunition within one or two days, many damaged parts of the Shenyang city wall would be repaired by the Qing army.

At that time, even if the long Shenyang city wall looked dilapidated, it could still continue to support under the artillery fire of the Ming army.

"Let's go!"

Lai Dong and the others have inspected several sections of the city wall in a row, but they still can't find a valuable place, but Lai Dong is still unwilling, and continues to lead the soldiers to climb out of this trench located in the eastern section of the fourth line of defense, and then quickly intersperse among the ruins of various broken low walls and sandbag walls, and rush towards a trench in the west.

The reason why everyone dared to run to the fourth line of defense in broad daylight, and they were not worried about the Qing army launching an attack on such a big target, was because Laidong understood that the Qing army had not much ammunition and arrows left.

After a few days of high-intensity fighting, the consumption and loss of the Qing army's armament were equally serious, and the Qing army's armament was a little less, and there was nowhere to replenish it, so Laidong and others were expected that the Qing army would not fight for a dozen Ming troops who did not collect it at night.

Of course, in order to prevent the existence of stunned young people among the Qing army, when he led his troops to transfer the observation site, he also passed quickly, and tried to hide it as much as possible with the help of various favorable terrain, which could be regarded as giving the Qing army in the city some so-called face.

Suddenly, just when Laidong and other soldiers were about to rush into the trench, the Qing army on the city wall actually fired arrows and opened fire on this side, and a large number of arrows continued to cut through the air and shoot over, and two arrows were inserted diagonally at Laidong's feet, which frightened Laidong and couldn't help screaming.

In addition, there were all kinds of lead bullets shot by firearms, crackling on the ground around, a soldier standing on the outermost night did not collect the soldier suddenly screamed, came to the east to look back, only to see that the night did not collect the lead bullet, directly rushed forward to the ground.

"Be careful!"

The two surrounding night soldiers also reacted quickly, rushed directly to lift up their wounded companions, and rushed into the trench in three steps and two steps, and the three of them plunged directly into it, so as to avoid the follow-up shooting of the Qing army.

At this time, Laidong and the rest of the soldiers also entered the trench, and everyone curled up to avoid the shooting of the Qing army.

Laidong looked at the injured Ye Buhui, and saw that the Qing army's lead bullet hit the neck, and the blood could not be stopped, dyeing all the armor on the Ye Bushu's body red.

"Boss, Binzi is gone!"

A night uncollected next to him touched the pulse of the injured night unretracted, and said lonely.

Laidong nodded gloomily, he led his troops out to reconnoiter for most of the day, and he has not cleared the troops to fire, why is this happening here?

Lai Dong suddenly thought of something, bowed his head and asked the subordinates in charge of recording and depicting to prepare, and then asked the rest of the people to pick up the bird gun to fight back and cover, and he took out the clairvoyant mirror.

"Call me!"

More than a dozen soldiers who did not accept the night roared and poked their heads out one after another, desperately firing back. However, the firepower of a dozen or so people was too weak, and it was not enough to suppress the firepower of the Qing army, but instead attracted more Qing troops to condescendingly release arrows and fire.

Soon, two more people fell in the trench without receiving arrows, one of them died on the spot, and the other was shot in the left shoulder, and had lost the ability to fight back, gritting his teeth to prevent himself from making a sound, so as not to affect his comrades to kill the enemy.

At this time, Laidong carefully searched this section of the city wall through the clairvoyant mirror, and the Tartar soldiers suddenly opened fire, either they were unlucky to meet the stunned Qing, or there was something wrong with this section of the city wall, and the Qing army could not let themselves find out the situation and bring the news back!!

Soon, the clairfront mirror in Laidong's hand finally stopped moving, his eyes locked on a city wall in front of him, and he said excitedly: "Record!" ”

"The eastern section of the south, the city wall numbered 019, the intact level is inferior, the bricks of the city wall have fallen off, there are three gaps, they are very close, the Qing army is making every effort to repair it, but it is estimated that it will not be able to be effectively repaired in a short time!!"

Coming to the east, a soldier who does not collect at night recorded all these with charcoal, and another soldier who does not collect at night risked death to look at it twice with a clairing mirror, and then hurriedly lowered his head and drew the general situation of the city wall.

"Hello Boss!"

"Okay, finish drawing!"

Laidong immediately shouted: "Withdraw!" Go, go, go home! ”

Two soldiers who did not collect the night carried the bodies of Bin Zi and another fallen soldier, one supported the wounded soldiers, and after the rest of the soldiers broke in the east, everyone marched all the way west along the ditch, and retreated to the south in a roundabout way.

When they reached the end of the trench, Laidong yelled, and everyone rushed out of the trench at the same time, and then rushed desperately to the next trench to the south.

In this way, Lai Dong and the others got out of this side very embarrassed, but in the process, two more soldiers who did not collect at night were hit, and one of them was shot on the spot.

When Laidong and the others withdrew to the Fifth Army barracks of the Wehrmacht, the medical officers in the battalion hurriedly stepped forward and took the wounded away for treatment.

After reporting the fierce battle to the instructor, Laidong hurriedly took the information he had found out and came to the camp tent of the military headquarters and reported the information directly to the chief officer Shen Tuo.

At this time, Shen Tuo had already obtained more than a dozen pieces of information about the Shenyang City Wall in his hands, and after reading the information sent back by Laidong, his face showed even more joy, and he immediately said: "Send this information to the old man immediately!" ”

"Yes!!"

In the blink of an eye, at dusk, the First Army of the National Defense Army to the Sixteenth Army sent a large number of elite troops to collect the night, and after an overall reconnaissance, the current situation of the Shenyang city wall was basically found out.

According to the investigation of the various departments, seventeen of the most damaged places were found around the city of Shenyang, and nine of them were on the verge of collapse. One on the south, three on the west, three on the north, and two on the east.

Although the Qing army in the city was also frantically repairing the city defenses, especially repairing these very badly damaged city walls, Liu Yan understood that such serious damage could not be repaired in a day or two!

"Good!!"

Liu Yan now has confidence in his heart, and the next artillery bombardment will no longer open aimlessly and comprehensively, but will concentrate the heavy firepower of all the red-coated cannons and carry out continuous artillery bombardment on these key areas.

"Having said that, at this time, only learning the tactics of Lao Maozi's urban management and demolition is the most suitable method for our army!"

Liu Yan said so in his heart, and immediately received a report: "Elder Qiyuge, the Beiyang Fleet has brought another batch of ammunition supplies. ”

"Biography!"

"Yes."

A moment later, Zheng Zhipeng, the general of the second detachment of the Beiyang Fleet, came to the big tent of the Chinese army, saluted Liu Yan, and then sat down respectfully.

Liu Yan exchanged a few words with Zheng Zhipeng, and then asked, "How many ammunition supplies have been transported in this batch?" ”

Zheng Zhipeng immediately took out a list, respectfully handed it to Liu Yan, and introduced: "Elder Qiqi, since Elder Qi ordered the supply and transportation to be mainly ammunition, our Beiyang Fleet has adjusted its deployment. Seventy percent of this supply was ammunition, two percent was food, and one percent was military pay and the rest of the sundries. ”

"Among them, 105,000 shells of various types, 80,000 rounds of shells, 30,000 thunderbolts, 4,000 flintlock shells and 800 bayonets were transported."

105,000 rounds of artillery shells sounds like a lot, but on average, more than 10,000 artillery pieces of various types, under a rough calculation, each artillery can only be divided into about 10 rounds, and these shells simply cannot meet the needs.

However, Liu Yan also knew that a detachment of the Beiyang Fleet only had 6,000 soldiers, and it was already the limit to be able to transport so much ammunition.

So Liu Yan said: "At present, the war is fierce, and the amount of ammunition required is also very huge, General Zheng should not rest, please turn back immediately, and tell General Shi that he must deliver ammunition to the direction of Shenyang City day and night, don't ask how much is needed, the more the merrier!" ”

When Zheng Zhipeng heard this, he naturally understood the stakes, and immediately got up and said: "Please rest assured, I already know when the end of the year comes, now Tianjin Wei and the Ministry of Defense have transferred a huge amount of ammunition and all kinds of firearms from military workshops in various places, and our Beiyang Fleet is also transferred to Liaodong day and night together with a large number of civilian ships, and we must supply the required ammunition supply for the front-line army led by Ge Lao!" ”

"Good!"

Hearing this, Liu Yan was completely relieved in his heart.
