Chapter 522 Attack Frustrated
Less than an hour after the rescue mission was completed, the Air Force Flying Battalion staying in Kuala Lumpur dispatched two bomber formations to bomb Tekong Island and Ubin Island indiscriminately. The defenders on the two islands lost After more than half, the white flag was raised against the Huwei army.
Subsequently, Guan Xuqing personally issued an order to order the Huwei Army to launch an attack on the urban area of Singapore and wipe out Yuan Shikai's remnants in one fell swoop.
Government House of Singapore.
At this moment, Yuan Shikai was lying powerlessly on a chair. The fall of Bukit Panjang, Serlong and other areas, the rescue of the hostages, and the advancing Huwei army made him feel that the end is not far away.
"My lord!" Lu Zongyu hurriedly pushed the door open and entered. "Tiger's Mighty Army's armored division has already moved towards Singapore, and it is only [-] kilometers away from us. Singapore is about to be surrounded. For your safety, I suggest you leave here immediately!"
"Ah..." After hearing what the other party said, Yuan Shikai shook his head heavily. "Success falls short, success falls short. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shikai's hundreds of thousands of troops built such a strong line of defense, and was defeated by the court in less than two weeks. I really don't know if the enemy is too strong? Or we It's too weak!" At this point, he closed his eyes, looking extremely tired.
"Godfather! Please evacuate Singapore immediately." Duan Zhigui also urged: "Didn't we have contacts with the Americans, I don't think they will die, as long as they can escape to the United States, they will definitely provide you with political information. sheltered."
Yuan Shikai waved his hand after a while and said: "No, Americans always hide their swords in their smiles. The United States is a snob. They may help us when we gain power, but when we are at the end of our rope, they will only watch jokes on the sidelines. If we really come to the United States, they would like to hand us over to the imperial court and take the opportunity to curry favor."
When Duan Zhigui was about to say something, a staff officer rushed in in panic: "My lord! We just received the news. The Huwei Army has already started a war against us, and their armored forces have entered the Singapore defense zone!"
July 1902, 7 at three o'clock in the afternoon.The 3th Armored Regiment of the Huwei Army Armored Division broke through the defense line established by the rebels on the outskirts of Singapore and rushed into the suburbs of Singapore ten kilometers northwest.At this time, in Cai E's view, he is only a short distance away from success, because according to the information sent back by the spies in Singapore, the urban area of Singapore has fallen into chaos.What he did now was to drive his chariot forward for more than ten kilometers until he reached the Governor's Mansion in Singapore.
But what Cai E didn't expect was that Yuan Shikai's last military force was not as vulnerable as he imagined.After the armored corps rushed through the farms around the suburbs, it immediately changed its formation and rushed towards the urban area of Singapore.However, at this time they did not encounter the imagined situation where the rebels scattered and fled.On the contrary, when it first entered the outer defense zone of Singapore, this mechanized force was stubbornly blocked by the opponent.
Compared with the desperate resistance of the rebels, the armored soldiers were not fully prepared, and they were not fully prepared for the street fighting in the outer urban areas.So after inexplicably losing a tank and about a squad of grenadiers, the armored soldiers chose to retreat temporarily.
"What? There is such a thing?" Cai E felt unbelievable after receiving the news, and he rushed to the battlefield in an armored vehicle.However, he also felt helpless in the face of the flames constantly spewing out from the buildings across the street.Although my own tank is equipped with a 75mm long-barreled artillery, this kind of tank gun is just an ordinary cannon, and its muzzle elevation angle and power are also very limited, so this kind of artillery can't destroy those solid tanks made of reinforced concrete. Fortifications.The caliber and power of the self-propelled howitzers of the Huwei Army are not large, so the effect against these buildings is not obvious.
However, facing this situation, Cai E was not depressed.Immediately organize the generals to start making plans and wait for the next attack.
Half an hour later, Cai E transferred two Panzergrenadier regiments and the 16th Infantry Division of the Panzergrenadier Division, and even a frightening Hurricane rocket launcher, and immediately started operations after receiving reinforcements.
This time he did not focus his attack on the northwest defense line of Singapore City, but attacked from the south in three directions with a small force.Three battalions of a regiment of the 16th Infantry Division, under the support of three armored companies, launched infiltration attacks on several village fortifications in the outskirts, but they were immediately attacked by the artillery fire of the rebel city defense forces as soon as they started their charge. .The defensive position was desperately firing ammunition to the outside, and the rebels were all guarding in the fortifications waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
At this time, Singapore's city defense made Cai E look at it with admiration. It seemed that this city defense force was the trump card army in Yuan Shikai's hands. They were obviously desperate to deal with their own troops.
But even so, the offensive of the Huwei Army, which changed its tactics, continued to achieve victories.They let the tanks cover in front, and the commandos armed with grenades, flamethrowers and recoilless guns followed closely behind.After encountering rebel resistance, the infantry fired tracer rounds to calibrate the target.Then the tanks fired smoke grenades to cover the charge of the assault infantry.Then the commandos used flamethrowers and grenades to unplug those firepower points one by one.If the opponent's firepower is relatively strong, the tank artillery will suppress the firepower.
Therefore, in the face of this effective tactic, many fortresses of the rebels were defeated.However, after the vanguard advanced five kilometers, they were suddenly counterattacked by the rebels. Their heavy shells screamed and flew towards them, and huge shells continued to explode on both sides of the assault road.The three artillery companies deployed in the suburbs began to counter-suppress artillery fire in order to crush the attack of the Huwei Army.
After the bombardment ended, thousands of city defense troops rushed from all directions to the attacking vanguard of the Huwei Army, and the two sides even engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat in some areas.
"It seems that the battle is not as simple as we expected." Cai E frowned and said.
"Let's withdraw first. This will cause a lot of damage to our troops. From these two battles, it can be seen that the enemy is very determined to defend Singapore, and even severely damaged the buildings in this city." We don’t hesitate to destroy them, but it seems that Xu Tu is better off in Singapore’s attack.” Hong Zhaolin persuaded.
"Hey, I'm still to blame for my carelessness. I thought that changing tactics could completely collapse the opponent's defense system. I didn't expect them to be so stubborn, and the defense system was built impeccably. Well, order the vanguard to retreat!" Cai E said. "Order all the troops under the jurisdiction of the Huwei Army to rush towards the urban area of Singapore as soon as possible, and strive to capture the Governor's Palace before July 7, and also hope that Feng Yuxiang's Zhenwei Army can move closer to Singapore as soon as possible.
Under the effect of this near-death order, a large number of armed SS troops began to rush towards Singapore desperately.The roads are crowded with all kinds of vehicles.The railway line is also non-stop, and the rumbling train is full of soldiers and equipment heading for the direction of Singapore, which is under heavy fire.In the afternoon of the same day, the powerful forces of the three divisions under Feng Yuxiang's jurisdiction formed a mighty formation and rushed towards Singapore along the railway line.On the other side, the main force of the armored division of the Huwei Army also rushed to the scheduled encirclement location.
"Songpo, you came early!" Feng Yuxiang just got off the train, wearing a gray general uniform, carrying an imperial medal of the third class, surrounded by staff officers, stretched out his hand to Cai E who was walking right hand.
"No! It's Huanzhang, you are late. Haha" Cai E opened his arms while talking, and the two embraced warmly.The embrace also signaled that the two most powerful military forces in the southern part of the empire had finally come together.
In the temporary headquarters of Huwei Army, Cai E and Feng Yuxiang had a brief meeting. Hong Zhaolin reported the current battle situation. Feng Yuxiang smiled and said: "This is nothing. The army is surrounded by layers, and this time it is difficult for him to fly. Now they want to fight back, and of course they have to fight to the death. This is not surprising. Fortunately, our strength and equipment are far superior to the opponent. We can continue to send troops to consume the strength of the opponent. , then their defense system will be self-defeating.”
"Huanzhang, you are still farsighted, this time I have a solid foundation in my heart." Cai E turned to Hong Zhaolin and said: "Pass my order, immediately launch a second round of attack, we must break through the defense system outside the rebel city !"
"Yes!"
这次蔡锷并没有手软,隶属于39师的第八榴弹炮营、第81山炮营和第51野炮团一起对市区外围的城防体系发动了猛烈攻击。而作为第二波攻击力量的第20师、21师、22师步兵们则静静的等在自己的防线内,他们等待自己炮兵火力压制的结束,只要压制一结束他们就冲上去占领七零八落的对方阵地。
The powerful shelling lasted for half an hour, and during this period, the artillery units did not forget to suppress the rebel fortifications near Changi Road. This time they concentrated more than 100 artillery pieces and carried out continuous strikes without interruption.His purpose of doing this is very clear, that is to prevent the rebels gathered in the south from sending reinforcements to the Punggol Road in the north, so that the attack of the Huwei army can be carried out more smoothly.
This time, the Huwei Army has fully learned the lesson of the setback in the previous attack. They did not put the entire battalion and company into these dark streets and buildings, but adopted squads as the core of the battle, and multiple simultaneous small-scale operations. Infiltration Tactics.In this way, the defense system built by the rebels with mines, machine guns, and snipers will appear very fragile, coupled with the lack of effective support firepower, this makes the rebels face an unfavorable situation from the very beginning.Several key defensive points were breached by the opponent, and the entire Yishun defense line was in danger of being fully breached by the opponent.
