Liu Yuanbin led the two vanguard brigades of the Twelfth Army to the battlefield in the factory area that afternoon.
After arriving at the battlefield, he was a little confused by the situation in front of him. The entire factory area was raging with fighting and gunfire. There were not many Guan Ning troops left on the outside. It was obvious that they all rushed into the city.
.
Under normal circumstances, the city should have been lost by this time, but judging from the constant sound of gunfire, it seemed that the fierce fighting in the city was still continuing.
In such a chaotic battle, how to intervene in the battle situation became a troublesome matter. Liu Yuanbin could not even observe which area was the main battlefield of the entire battle.
"The 207th Brigade and the 231st Brigade, which arrived early, pressed into the factory area with all their strength in company and platoon units. Your task is to support the battlefields of various departments. Kill the enemy when you encounter it, and annihilate the enemy when you encounter it. Pay attention to the center of the city
Military order flags and signal flares in the office building. Regiment-level officers who enter the city at the same time must make adjustments at any time to gather their troops and horses to prevent them from being surrounded by the enemy's small groups that will enter the city. After the follow-up troops arrive on the battlefield, this general will
Send a brigade of troops and horses into the city to fight. The rest of the soldiers and horses who have arrived will guard the outside to block the retreat of the rebels."
After watching the situation on the battlefield for a while, Liu Yuanbin made a tactical decision to fight chaos with chaos. There was a chaotic battle in the factory area, and even if he wanted to have a good positional battle with Wu Sangui, he didn't have the conditions.
Chaos is actually better. Liu Yuanbin knows where the advantages of his soldiers and horses are. Where is the quality of company and platoon-level officers? The tactics of small groups against small groups can actually give full play to their command advantages.
Wu Sangui in the city had lost control of the entire battlefield at this time. He thought that after the troops and horses were dispersed and attacked, his side would have an advantage. But the actual situation was that once the troops and horses were dispersed, the entire Guan Ning Army fell into
In the vast sea of armed craftsmen in the factory area.
Workers are different from farmers. They have strong discipline in their daily production and life, and they have fixed organizational relationships. The most important thing is that they are not unarmed. Many tools in the factory can be used as weapons, especially the workers in the arsenal.
They don't have to be too good at it. Coupled with the weapons that were urgently issued to them before, in terms of equipment, they are only slightly stronger than most armies of this era.
It doesn’t matter if they have equipment, the key is that these people still have the strength and quality, and they can use any weapons they have in their hands. In terms of terrain, the terrain of the factory area is really suitable for the defender. People are very interested in their own factory area.
They are definitely more experienced than Guan Ningjun and his gang of stubbles. On local battlefields, these factories in the factory area have become fortresses that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the doors of the large factories are guarded, it will be difficult for Guan Ningjun to attack.
Go in. In a small building with two or three floors, guard the corridor and throw things from upstairs. You can kill people.
Classmate Lao Wu led a group of soldiers into a steel factory in a daze, and then his whole body became bad. This was not a factory, it was simply hell. The workers in the factory were holding steel shovels and
The flaming red molten iron and burning carbon were thrown at Guan Ning's army as they rushed towards him. If they were touched by these things, they would be burnt to death if not burned to death.
After the meeting, Old Wu and his men exited the factory in embarrassment. The soldiers around him showed fear and did not dare to take another step into the steel factory.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the reinforcements from the government army have come from outside the city." A soldier hurried over to report the latest military situation.
"Their reinforcements are coming? How many are they coming?"
"I don't know! Anyway, there are officers and soldiers everywhere, and we can't figure out how many officers and soldiers have come in."
The enemy's situation is unknown. What did you come to report? Wu Sangui really wanted to kill the person who reported the report. What to do with the current situation? After Wu Sangui pondered for a while, he made a helpless decision: "Send orders to all the ministries to withdraw from the city as soon as possible.
Let's discuss the next step after we get outside the city."
The military order was sent out, but Old Wu obviously misjudged the situation. It was easier for Guan Ning's army to enter the city than to leave the city. The soldiers and horses were scattered throughout the city, and the military order was transmitted very slowly. Even if it was passed, it would be difficult for them to escape.
"Oops! We are surrounded. It is difficult to get out of the city now." When Wu Sangui realized the seriousness of the problem, it was already an hour later. Because even his personal troops were entangled and would leave in a short while.
Don't leave the battlefield. "Fight out of the city with all your strength! In today's situation, the only way is to fight to the death."
The battle lasted until midnight, and Wu Sangui fought with his life to lead more than 2,000 people to the outside of the city. After arriving outside the city, he found that the situation had not improved. There were actually over 10,000 officers and soldiers blocking them outside the city.
There were other troops who rushed out of the city.
"Break out to the east!" After giving the military order, Wu Sangui held his saber and headed towards the outskirts of the military formation without hesitation.
After killing nearly a thousand people, Wu Sangui managed to carve out a gap and jumped out of the encirclement.
After jumping out of the encirclement, Wu Sangui did not go far, but stayed near the battlefield, thinking of gathering some soldiers and horses to see how much the losses in this battle were.
The longer he waited, the colder his heart became. It was almost dawn, but there were only five or six thousand men around him.
The number of people who entered the customs this time was over 30,000. After a day of fighting, there would not be only this few people left, right?
"Your Majesty, we have to retreat quickly. Most of the officers and soldiers have surrounded us again. If we don't retreat, we will be surrounded again." The general rode up to Wu Sangui on horseback and advised him to give the order to run away. If he doesn't run away, he will break through the encirclement.
At this point, people will fall into the trap again.
"Retreat another twenty miles to the east!" Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and issued a military order that he least wanted to issue.
After retreating for twenty miles, Lao Wu wandered around with his troops for another half day. During this half day, he did not get the news he wanted. At this time, there were only six or seven thousand soldiers and horses around him. He had already withdrawn from the city.
It's almost daytime, and there are only so many people around. Old Wu understands what the current situation means.
"Your Majesty, there are a large group of officers and cavalry approaching over thirty miles southeast of us."
"Your Majesty, there are thousands of officers and soldiers from the west coming here to press us."
Tan Ma reported bad news one after another. The muscles on Wu Sangui's face twitched when he heard it. "That's it! Let's quickly find a way to get out of seclusion."
He must withdraw before the cavalry from the southeast approaches, otherwise he may not have a chance to escape after being entangled by the cavalry.
Liu Yuanbin of the Miyun Factory District was commanding people to clean up the remnants of Guan Ning's army in the city, while listening to the investigators' briefing on the military situation. When he heard that Wu Sangui was leading the remnants of the army to retreat to the northeast, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Let's
The reaction is still not improved, Wu Thief can escape from the pass again this time."
The changes in the war were so fast that the originally prepared encirclement measures had no chance to be fully implemented. Cao Ruohai's 11th Army was still on the way, and Commander Mayu, who was responsible for blocking the pass wall, had not dispersed the people along the border wall.
. Under such circumstances, Wu Sangui will definitely be able to find a gap and cross the border wall. Who would have thought that in this battle where Guan Ning's army crossed the border, the serious battle only lasted a little more than a day before the winner was decided. If he had known the outcome of the battle,
With this development, the 11th Army should be mobilized with the cavalry division, instead of letting the 12th Army, which is mainly infantry, focus on the Miyun battlefield.
