What made Shanbin Yuaner even more excited was that the Qing army who had been ambushing on the north side did not attack him. He thought proudly: This just shows that Lin Yuan's adaptability is extremely poor!

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from behind the artillery positions of the Qing army. From a distance, in a snowy mist, countless cavalry, lined up in three rows, rushed towards the Japanese troops on the south side!

There are about 800 cavalry in the Dingwu Army, and they are organized into a battalion. They also act together with the infantry. Lin Yuan considered that the horses are relatively large, which is not conducive to concealment, so he let the cavalry battalion lie in ambush in the distance, and wait until the gunshots Come out again.

When they were 500 meters away from the Japanese army, Yingtong took off his carbine from his back. There was a soldier carrying a red flag beside him. When he saw Yingtong like this, he immediately raised the red flag in his hand high.

By doing this, he was actually passing an order. People cannot speak on a horse traveling at high speed, because the bumpy road may make the speaker bite off his tongue!

When the cavalry saw the red flag raised high, they all took off their carbine guns, and the horses continued to move forward. At 400 meters, the battalion commander waved his carbine down. Seeing this, the soldiers around him waved down the red flag quickly. Seeing this, they all raised their carbine guns, raised them at an angle, and fired at the Japanese army.The bullets splashed a cloud of smoke and blood on the Japanese positions. Many Japanese soldiers fell to the ground and screamed. Amidst the screams, the Japanese turned their few machine guns to the cavalry!

The machine gun is the enemy of the cavalry, but before the Japanese army could fire, a few shells bombarded the artillery position, and the Japanese machine gunner and ammunition carrier fell down like weeds in a strong wind. Machine guns were also blown up.

Just when the Japanese army thought that the cavalry of the Qing army was about to rush into their formation, the cavalry of the Qing army turned south and outflanked the Japanese army's side and rear.

The Qing army on the north side also started to move at this time. They jumped out of the bunker, marched towards the Japanese army, stopped at a distance of about 400 meters, and fired at the Japanese army.

Shanbin Yuaner saw the sudden increase in the strength of the Qing army on the south side, and knew that the hope of starting the battle from the south side of the Qing army's artillery position had been shattered. Many people were wiped out.Taking advantage of the fact that the cavalry of the Qing army had not completed the outflanking, Yamabin Genji ordered a retreat, and all the Japanese troops retreated to the west. They knew that they could not return to Zhangyi Station, so they had to go west, hoping to be able to escape from the south. Enter Fengtian.

Lin Yuan did not order the whole army to pursue, but instead ordered the cavalry to capture Zhangyi Station with the fastest speed. Nearly an hour later, the cavalry of the Qing army arrived at Zhangyi Station. was defeated, and the remaining troops in the city were not strong in combat effectiveness, so the Qing army occupied Zhangyi Station without any effort.

However, the Qing army did not annihilate too many Japanese troops at Zhangyi Station, because they knew the news of the defeat, and many people had already withdrawn in advance, but they left in such a hurry that many documents were not burned in time, and the equipment was quite large. Part of it was not destroyed.

Lin Yuan also ordered Liu Biao to lead the soldiers of the Zuoxie Front Battalion to attack Xiaowang Village and the railgun base between Xiaowang Village and Zhangyi Station. The soldiers at the base withdrew towards Fengtian after blowing up the railgun.

That night, Lin Yuan led the rest of the troops to Zhangyi Station. As soon as he arrived, he ordered the cavalry and the soldiers of the Zuoxie Front Battalion to stand by and rest. The others immediately went outside Zhangyi Station to repair trenches and fortifications!

Lin Yuan knew very well that Zhangyi Station was only [-] kilometers away from Shenyang's periphery. At this distance, the Japanese army could launch a counterattack at any time. Zhangyi Station was a newly built small city, and it was not a strategically important place that military strategists have always fought for. What a decent city defense facility, if you want to hold this place, you must build a lot of trenches and fortifications.

Relying on the terrain, Lin Yuan deployed three defensive circles around Zhangyi Station. The first one is two kilometers away from Zhangyi Station, mainly consisting of trenches and machine gun fortifications. The second one is one kilometer away from Zhangyi Station, mainly relying on several peripheral On the high ground, fortifications were built, and machine guns were set up on these positions, which could form crossfire and kill the invading enemies in large numbers.

The third defensive circle is not trenches and fortifications, but a dozen cavalry squads sent out. The role of these squads is very simple. They patrol between Zhangyi Station and Shenyang, discovering the movements of the Shenyang garrison as early as possible, and preventing Their surprise attack.

After the order was given, Lin Yuan didn't feel at ease. The Qing army was divided into two parts, one part was repairing fortifications outside the city, and the other part was resting in the city. He was worried about these two parts.

Just after a big victory, the soldiers will inevitably relax, so those outside the city may not repair the fortifications well, and those inside the city may not observe military discipline, pick quarrels and make trouble, especially in wartime, soldiers generally tend to feel superior Everywhere, they feel that they are a head above others, which makes them pay little attention to their own words and deeds in many cases. In this way, the image of the army in the hearts of the common people will be over at once.

So Lin Yuan asked Liu Biao to take people to watch the night, and he must strictly enforce military discipline, while he himself took people to the place where the fortifications were being built.

Just after winning a battle but not being able to take a good rest, it is hard for anyone to understand such a thing. Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The military situation is urgent, and there is no time to gather people together and explain it patiently. I should do it in the future. Let's work."

So Lin Yuan kept a cold face, and walked around the place where the fortifications were being built. The soldiers dared not speak out in anger. After a busy night, finally, the fortifications were completed.

Two hours later, a war horse came to the fortification. The cavalry dismounted and said to Lin Yuan, "Commander Lin, the Japanese troops stationed in Fengtian have launched a counterattack!"

The news was heard by the people around, and it spread quickly. After hearing this, the soldiers lamented that Lin Shuai was really good at predicting things. If Lin Shuai hadn't insisted on repairing the fortifications last night, he would have been ambushed by the Japanese army today.Lin Yuan asked calmly, "How many people did the Japanese army dispatch?"

The cavalry who reported the incident replied: "There are more than 2000 people in total, all of them are cavalry."

Lin Yuan nodded and ordered: "Dig another deep trench in front of the trench and see how their cavalry come over."

Two hours later, there was faint dust raised by horseshoes in the sky, and soon, a group of cavalry appeared in everyone's sight. Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The Japanese army must not have guessed that we repaired the defense so quickly. Fortifications, now they can be caught off guard."

What surprised Lin Yuan was that the Japanese army did not attack, but instead set up tents more than 3000 meters away from the trenches. Some people even took off their saddles and fed the horses. Curly smoke.

Lin Yuan frowned and thought, "What kind of trick are the Japanese trying to do? Camping in this kind of place, isn't it waiting to be taken over by me?"

However, Lin Yuan did not order an attack, because the troops were already exhausted, and the Japanese army was highly mobile, so he might not be able to take advantage of the fight.

However, Lin Yuan quickly saw the Japanese's strategy, and when it was dawn the next day, someone reported: "The Japanese are attacking."

Lin Yuan picked up the binoculars and looked at it, thinking: "The Japanese actually thought of such a vicious trick!"
