Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The life and death of the soldiers at the top of the city, the success or failure of Shenyang's offensive and defensive, depends on whether they can attack the city before the Japanese army takes back the city gate. , The cavalry who attacked the city were the elite drawn from these two battalions!

The Japanese troops from other directions on the city fired at the charging Qing cavalry, and people or horses kept falling down. They did not slow down, and everyone knew that if they rushed into the city gate, they would win!

Liu Yufeng originally planned to come down from the top of the city and guard the gate together after sending out the news, but they were soon surrounded, and the Japanese soldiers outside didn't care if there were Japanese troops between them, so they aimed at them and shot them, and the top of the city was empty , how can there be a place to hide!Seven or eight fell down at once.

Liu Yufeng knew that he would all die if he continued like this. He turned his head and caught a glimpse of the platform behind him. As I said earlier, the platform is three meters higher than the city wall. When the enemy attacks the top of the city, people can hide in it. Go, relying on the Xingtai to defend, this time just gave Liu Yufeng an excellent opportunity!Liu Yufeng wielded the steel knife, cut a bloody path, and led the people into the platform, but in this way, the Japanese army's counterattack fell on the dozen or so soldiers at the city gate.

The Japanese army in the city also knew that as long as the city gate was taken back, the road would be blocked without closing the gate with a few horses, and the Qing army would never be able to attack the city. military.

The marksmanship of the dozen or so soldiers of the Qing army is among the best, and they can knock down a Japanese army with one shot. However, there are too many Japanese soldiers, and they seem to be unable to hold on. At this time, people did not expect that the person who helped was Those dozens of mule carts!

The Japanese army shot at the mule. The mule was frightened and ran away in all directions. This run happened to crash into the formation of the Japanese army. The mule pulled a cart weighing dozens of kilograms and ran again. People can stop it!A few Japanese soldiers couldn't dodge in time, were bumped into hard, and fell to the side, unconscious.The mule felt that he had bumped into something, and his guts were almost terrified, and he ran more happily. The Japanese soldiers became terrified, and raised their hands to shoot the mule. They thought that everything would be fine if they knocked down the mule, but they were wrong. Well, in the cart behind the mule, there are no nails upside down!

Those nails were thrown out, and as soon as the nails hit the ground, they became a big thorn ball, and people could not leave. When the soldiers of the Qing army saw it, they immediately came up with an idea, lifted the box containing the nails beside them, and opened it The cover was aimed at the Japanese army and thrown over.

The nails fell all over the ground like a goddess scattered flowers. Several Japanese soldiers were pierced by the nails and cried out in pain. He yelled, fell to the ground, but sat on a nail, and was in a state of embarrassment for a while. Taking advantage of the time when the Japanese army was blocked, the cavalry of the Qing army rushed to the door.

Liu Yufeng saw his subordinates throwing nails out at the top of the city, and shouted angrily: "A group of idiots, didn't they hit their own people?" Mu Er said beside him: "Don't worry, there are so few nails. Not bad for a horseshoe."

Liu Yufeng thought: "The nail is made of steel, and it stands on the ground. Go right away and it won't damage its hoof." He looked down the city, and saw the horse rushing into the city, killing the devils, and there was no sign of it at all. Affected by nails in the ground.Liu Yufeng asked: "What's going on?"

Mu Er smiled and said: "This nail has not been quenched, it is soft, and cannot pierce the iron palm on the horse's hoof." "Quenching" is a heat treatment process that can change the metallographic structure of steel, thereby increasing the hardness. Willing to work for the devil, so he tampered with the nail.The two of them were still talking, only to hear the sound of "whoosh" in their ears, and the bricks and stones around them were beaten to dust. Liu Yufeng pulled Mu Er and squatted instinctively.

Mu Er asked, "Why did this bullet come from behind us?" It turned out that after Lin Yuan ordered the cavalry to enter the city, he ordered a dozen Gatling cannons to move towards the city wall. As soon as the Japanese army turned their attention, these Green fast guns rushed forward immediately, brought the city head into their range, and then fired together.

The cavalry in the city were divided into three groups, one group protected the city gate position, the other group dismounted and attacked the city head, and the rest raised their guns and shot at the Japanese soldiers on the city. At that time, the defenders at the top of the city were in chaos.

The defenders at the top of the city couldn't resist, so they could only retreat towards the small north gate. After the Qing army captured a part of the city wall, they built a temporary defensive position relying on horse faces and walking platforms, and the rest began to attack the city.

Lin Yuan's style of attack was: first go north to capture the Xiaobeimen and Dabeimen, and then go south to meet the Dingwu army in the south. Therefore, after the Qing army entered the city, they launched a fierce attack to the north of the city.

The Japanese soldiers in the city knew how strong Fengtian's city defenses were, with iron wires, trenches, defensive trenches, machine gun bunkers, nails, and tall walls. These made the Japanese army think: Fengtian is unbreakable!But they never dreamed that the outer defensive positions were breached overnight, and the Qing army entered the city after only two days, which made them lose a lot in terms of momentum.

With the power of breaking the city, the Qing army quickly attacked northward. The battle situation was almost one-sided.

Many big cities in ancient times had bell towers and drum towers. The bell towers and drum towers were usually separated and used to tell the time or hold major celebrations. The bell and drum towers in Xuzhou even had the function of fire alarms. The bell in which direction caught fire would ring. Hello everyone, go to fight the fire, but according to local chronicles, it has never reported a fire alarm, and it was almost burned by the fire.

In urban warfare, the commanding heights are very important, especially in this era, there are not many buildings to provide cover, so a few machine guns on the commanding heights are enough to suppress the enemy.

The Bell Tower and the Drum Tower of Fengtian City are separated by a street, facing each other from east to west, and the front is full of open land. The Qing army rushed twice, but failed. When the attack was at a stalemate, reinforcements from the Xiaobeimen of the Japanese army arrived!

As soon as this new force arrived, the attacking vanguard of the Qing army was overwhelmed and retreated for three streets. Fortunately, they met Fengziying and Huoziying who entered the city later, so they stood firm and reported the news to Lin Yuan's headquarters. , Xiong Tiesheng and Wu Yuankai were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Xiong Tiesheng wanted to go to battle in person!

Lin Yuan didn't panic at all. He didn't seem to care about the battle situation in the city at all. Instead, he ordered the Dingwu Army to launch a feint attack on the Japanese outlying positions in the southwest.

Wu Yuankai kept asking beside Lin Yuan: "Shuai Lin, in this battle, success or failure depends on the bell and drum towers. If we can't win, the Japanese army will take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and our previous efforts will be wasted."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "General Wu, there is no need to panic, just wait a little longer, there will be news soon."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the urgent footsteps outside the tent approaching from far away. When the curtain was lifted, the messenger said, "The Bell and Drum Towers have come down!"

Xiong Tiesheng hurriedly asked: "Which one is so good at fighting, I have to worship him!"

The messenger said: "They came up from behind the Bell and Drum Tower, and completely copied the rear route of the reinforcements at the Xiaobei Gate."
