Chapter six hundred and sixty-first

Soon, the Mongolian cavalry who left the bodies everywhere rushed to the Liaodong army.

At this time, use a rifle to shoot at most two rounds of bullets, and the Mongolian cavalry holding the sabre can rush in front of you.

The two wings blocked the position, except for the machine guns, the remaining riflemen continued to shoot intercepting bullets at the Mongolian cavalry. After quickly firing the bullets in the gun chamber, they took out a grenade from their waists.

He skillfully pulled the strings, and then threw them hard at the Mongolian cavalry with all his strength.

After the explosion of distance sounded, the Mongolian cavalry who rushed in the front were immediately shrouded in the smoke of gunpowder.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Mongolian cavalry were blown to the ground.

But the Mongolian cavalry behind were not scared. At the fastest assault speed, they rushed through the smoke of gunpowder, shouted slogans that the vanguard camp could not understand, held up their sabers, and screamed at the vanguard camp.

For cavalrymen who charge quickly, they can complete it in three seconds at a distance of less than 30 meters.

So, it is too late to continue throwing grenades.

When there was no way to retreat, the platoon leaders at all levels could only carry rifles and bayonets, and prepare to fight against the Mongolian cavalry.

"Boom..." A dull collision sounded on the battlefield, and the Mongolian cavalry rushed over at high speed directly knocked away the dozens of vanguard battalions in the front. Then, under the powerful inertia of the cavalry, they raised their sabers and slaughtered the Liaodong army they had hit.

The positions on both wings were broken through by Mongolian cavalry and blocked a company in front. They were captured by Mongolian cavalry within half a minute.

In front of the Mongolian cavalry with sabers, although most of the soldiers of the vanguard battalion held a bayonet rifle in their hands, it was difficult to threaten them. They could only watch the high Mongolian cavalry with their swords falling and split their bodies.

More than 2,000 Mongolian cavalry dealt with the cavalry battalion with a total force of only about 700, and it was the close-range battle that Mongolian cavalry was best at. In less than half a minute, the vanguard battalion was completely killed.

When Wang Hu hurried to the battlefield with his main force, the battle was over.

The battlefield filled with a strong smell of blood, with broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and even meat paste crushed by horse hooves, which were very bloody.

As for the Mongolian cavalry, except for the nearly a thousand corpses left on the battlefield, all the rest were completely separated.

As for the weapons and ammunition equipped by the vanguard battalion, they were also plundered by the Mongolian cavalry and taken away.

Without even seeing the enemy's shadow, the entire army was destroyed by a vanguard battalion. This is not only a shame for the first army of the Liaodong Army, but also a shame for the commander of the first army, Wang Hu.

After slamming his clenched fist against a tree trunk that was cut off during the battle next to him, he cursed with anger: "I, Wang Hu, swear here, I will never give up until I avenge you!"

"Continue to attack Tongliao, and the Mongolian cavalry that ate our vanguard camp must have withdrawn from Tongliao. We marched quickly to Tongliao, surrounded Tongliao City, and eliminated them."

The Mongolian cavalry, which had been missing a lot, returned to Tongliao Cheng in just one hour.

Seeing the large amount of weapons and ammunition brought back by the Mongolian cavalry, I even found heavy machine guns and light machine guns that the Beiyang Army rarely equipped. The guard general who served as the Beiyang Army's standard commander immediately walked over to the Mongolian cavalry commander with a smile, ready to congratulate the other party, and by the way, he brought the weapons and ammunition they brought back to him, and further strengthen the firepower of the defending troops.

However, before he could speak, he saw the bloody cavalry commander walking towards him with great striking rage.

"General Wang, the Liaodong Army is so capable of fighting. My three thousand cavalry attacked more than 700 of them, but they almost failed. If I hadn't reacted quickly, even if I changed my tactics, it would be impossible for me to eat the Liaodong Army's vanguard camp." The cavalry commander with a rough face said with a gloomy face as soon as he saw the guard.

"However, my cavalry also suffered heavy losses. More than 900 Mongolian men died on the battlefield and did not even bring back the bodies."

The defender was also stunned. He knew the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry. Unexpectedly, three thousand Mongolian cavalry fought so hard and suffered such great losses to more than 700 Liaodong Army.

In addition to being shocked, the good news of the Mongolian cavalry's elimination of the Liaodong Army's vanguard battalion did not bring him good mood, and he began to worry about the subsequent battle to defend the city.

However, this concern did not last long, and the defender regained his confidence.

Because when Wang Hu took Fengtian, he had surrounded Fengtian City and even a single Beiyang army could not escape. Therefore, the news that Fengtian was taken down by the Liaodong army was not leaked.

Although Tongliao is not far from Fengtian City, the Tongliao guards did not know that Fengtian had fallen.

In the eyes of the defenders, Fengtian City, which has five towns of Beiyang Army, should not only defeat the Liaodong Army that besieged it, defend Fengtian City, and ensure that Fengtian City is unbreakable, there should be no problem at all.

As long as Fengtian is still in the hands of the Beiyang Army, and the reinforcements sent by the imperial court are already on the way.

As long as you defend Tongliao, the Liaodong army that attacks you may be attacked from both sides and fall into a desperate situation.

If you do it well, maybe you can still take advantage of this great situation and fight the Liaodong Army annihilation battle. At that time, relying on military achievements and a cooperative leader will definitely be indispensable.

Just when the Tongliao defender was dreaming and began to arrange troops to defend the city and welcome the attack of the Liaodong Army.

Wang Hu, who was marching all the way, finally saw the not too high city wall of Tongliao City.

After a pair of eyes quickly shot out two murderous gazes, Wang Hu decisively ordered: "The first battalion of the Second Regiment is responsible for the north gate, the second battalion is responsible for the west gate, and the third battalion is responsible for the east gate. Block three city gates for me, and even an official army cannot be released."

"In addition, according to the information, the Tongliao defenders had a target Beiyang Army, equipped with one battalion of eighteen mountain artillery, while each of your battalions had only four mountain artillery and six mortars. So, don't be careless during the battle, don't be bitten by the official army, and there will be too many casualties."

"The Third Regiment and the Military Guards, under the cover of two regiment-affiliated mountain artillery battalions, launched an attack directly from the South Gate."

Wang Lin, who had already taken office, was stunned at first, and then immediately responded and reminded: "Chief, don't you persuade me to surrender? We set out from Fengtian and brought Xu Shichang's handwritten letters with the seal of the Governor's Office of the Three East Provinces, and also brought two Governor's Office officials. Should we persuade me to surrender first and then fight? Maybe the guards would be afraid to see the letter of persuasion we brought."

Thinking of the soldiers who had already died in battle, Wang Hu subconsciously wanted to refuse.

However, as soon as the words came to his mouth, Wang Hu swallowed them back.
