The first thousand one hundred and forty-four chapters set fire
At this time, there seemed to be no use in large numbers. Without heavy artillery, it was too difficult to break through the city wall, so Guo Songling ordered an all-out attack on the city gate. As long as the city gate was breached, all the soldiers rushed into the city in one go, leaving only one guard
Travel is really a piece of cake.
Facing the huge city gate, Guo Songling issued an order, that is: set it on fire. Although the city gate is strong, it is still made of wood. Since it cannot be broken, just burn it. The soldiers below carried a barrel.
Another barrel of gasoline rushed to the city gate and poured it on the city gate. The strong smell of gasoline spread quickly, and the defenders in the city could smell it clearly.
Then, the soldiers of the 27th Division threw up torches one by one. The huge city gate was surrounded by fire and smoke in an instant, and the temperature rose sharply, as if it was about to melt in an instant.
The defenders in the city naturally observed this situation, but faced with the raging fire at the city gate, they had no choice but to let it fend for itself. The soldiers reported the situation to the soldiers who were standing on the tower watching the mountain view.
Han Baihang. As the person responsible for the safety of Fengtian City, Han Baihang seemed to be indifferent to this situation. He smiled, looked at Guo Songling's army from a distance, turned back to the soldiers behind him and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, in another day
Guo Songling will cry when meeting him." The soldiers behind him also looked at each other secretly and laughed secretly.
The fire on the city gate has been burning for nearly fifteen minutes, and it is showing signs of extinguishing. However, I don’t know what kind of wood the city gate was made of. Even though it was completely burned, it did not collapse.
Meaning, until the fire was extinguished, it still stood there quietly and motionless.
A few more minutes passed, and when the gate cooled down a bit, allowing people to approach, a few brave soldiers rushed forward and trampled the gate down. The gate was already at the end of its strength, and collapsed under the trampling of several people.
The ashes from the shooting were flying all over the sky, almost burying everyone around them.
When the ashes dissipated, everyone's bodies, heads, and even ears were slowly covered with dust. However, to everyone's surprise, there were no enemies behind the gate, but a thick city wall that could be seen by feeling.
Faced with such a scene, everyone was almost dumbfounded. They finally opened the city gate, but they still couldn't go in. What was going on?
It turned out that long before Guo Songling led the Third Army to Fengtian, Han Baihang had ordered his subordinates to seal all the city gates in Fengtian. The insides of the city gates were all built with heavy bricks, which were almost the same as the city walls next to them.
Han Baihang already knew the strength gap between himself and the Third Army, so his strategy was to hold on and never engage the enemy head-on no matter what the situation was. He wanted to kill the opponent under Fengtian City. Because Fengtian City was impregnable,
It is difficult to shake without heavy weapons, but these city gates are the opponent's only breakthrough point. In order to make up his mind and prevent the opponent from breaking through the city gates, he came up with such a method.
Even he did not expect that such an ancient method of fighting and defending the city would play a vital role now. It seems that the wisdom of the ancestors is still useful. This trick he learned from the wars of the Ming Dynasty
Learned from history.
Facing the blocked city gate, Guo Songling was furious. Trying to hold him back with such indiscriminate tricks was tantamount to talking nonsense. In order to avoid long nights and long dreams, he said that all the 13th Division under his command were sent up. Their orders were only
One is to tear down the city wall.
Since there is no heavy artillery, use gunpowder to explode it and use your hands to open it. As long as there is a small gap in the city wall, you can rush in and capture Fengtian City in one fell swoop.
The bravery of the 27th Division is needless to say. They were responsible for covering the 13th Division in front. None of the soldiers retreated. Even though they were below and the soldiers guarding the city were on the city, they still risked their heads to shoot.
The natural shooting suddenly suppressed the guard brigade on the city wall with their numerical superiority.
Han Baihang knew that the Third Army Corps was powerful, and that the 27th and 28th Divisions were even more elite, but he never had any trouble with them after Guo Songling became the commander of the Army. He didn't know how powerful the 27th Division was.
It has reached the point where it is now.
He even admired Guo Songling a little. This man was also a military talent. If he was given enough time, he would be able to train more and more elite soldiers. Unfortunately, he rebelled.
Han Baihang didn't hesitate at all. Now, the grenade he arranged was finally put to use.
After receiving Han Baihang's order, the guard brigade on the city wall threw all the grenades in their hands. This was an entire brigade of soldiers. Even one grenade per person was enough to drink a pot of the third corps attacking the city below.
In an instant, explosions were heard all over the city, and there was mud everywhere caused by grenades, as well as the torn corpses of countless Third Army soldiers. It was really terrible. wavv
It is so easy to throw grenades from a high position. Even if the opponent is about fifty meters away from you, you can easily throw them. The 13th Division, who is responsible for tearing down the city wall at the bottom of the city, is in great trouble. He is so far away from the city wall.
It was too close, and it was unrealistic to escape the opponent's throwing range, so he could only lie down at the foot of the city wall.
However, the soldiers on the city wall only needed to gently pull the fuse of the grenade, and then gently throw the grenade off the wall, which was enough to cause huge damage to the 13th Division below the city, almost like a turtle in a jar.
Guo Songling felt heartbroken. After all, these were his elite men, who were the key to capturing Fengtian. If they continued to be used up like this, I am afraid that Fengtian City would not be captured, and all of his troops would have been wiped out. Guo Songling became even more angry.
The soldier died in such a miserable way. If he died in a face-to-face charge with the enemy, there would be nothing to say, but he died lying down under the enemy's wall without even causing the slightest harm to the enemy.
, this is the most humiliating time that Guo Songling has led his troops to fight in so many years.
Now, he has finally come to his senses. The person commanding the battle in Fengtian City is probably not Zhang Zuolin, the commander-in-chief who only wants to fight for power and rely on the Japanese. He cannot think of such an unexpected strategy, and Yang Yuting also
Without this ability, otherwise, I am afraid that the entire Republic of China would have been affiliated with Fengxian.
