When they received the report of the Liaodong Army again, most of the courtiers in the capital did not believe it, thinking that the Liaodong Army was taking this opportunity to extort the imperial court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Some people even proposed again that the imperial court should send ministers to Liaodong to provide the court with the most real situation in Liaodong, not because of what was written in the Liaodong military report? What does the imperial court believe?

However, no one knows how bad the situation in Liaodong is, whether the Liaodong area controlled by the Liaodong Army is really empty, and small units of the Japanese army are active everywhere.

If that's the case, going to Liaodong now is definitely a joke with your own life.

Therefore, after this opinion was put forward, none of the courtiers who valued their lives as more important than anything else offered to go to Liaodong. In this way, the proposal is abandoned.

But no matter what, since the Liaodong Army came to report, the imperial court could not ignore it.

After ignoring the various requirements and conditions put forward by the Liaodong Army, the imperial court still attached great importance to the proposal of the Liaodong Army to strengthen the defense force of Fengtian. Send someone to Fengtian as soon as possible, and order General Sheng Jing to strengthen the vigilance around Fengtian, so as not to be exploited by a small group of Japanese troops.

The total strength of the Fengtian garrison, with the support of the imperial court, has expanded to 10,000, of which the new army has 5,000 people.

As for the equipment, that's not to say. Because of the Liaodong Army, an arms dealer, next to it, almost everyone in the entire Fengtian garrison was equipped with a new rifle.

As for the 5,000 new troops, in addition to rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, all of them, and even a battalion of twelve Russian-made mountain guns.

Such a firepower configuration is put in the Beiyang New Army, which is also first-class.

It was with such a well-equipped army in hand that the newly appointed General Shengjing had the courage to stay in Mukden.

After receiving the imperial order, General Sheng Jing was shocked and immediately ordered his troops to strengthen their vigilance and send additional patrols outside the city.

Five thousand well-equipped new troops also received enough ammunition under his orders and were ready to fight at any time.

After two days of nervousness, after the patrol outside the city did not find any Japanese figures, General Shengjing's tense heart finally slowly relaxed.

But at this moment, a faint burst of gunfire suddenly sounded outside Fengtian City.

Although the gunfire was not very clear, General Sheng Jing was still sure that the gunfire that was being fired must have been very dense.

The shocked General Sheng Jing immediately sent people to gather the officers in the city and sent people out of the city to check.

When more than a dozen generals rushed to General Shengjing's mansion one after another, the deputy captain of the guard team who was sent out by himself had already received the news and hurriedly ran in.

"My lord, one of our patrols outside the city has been attacked, and all the fifty brothers of the entire patrol have been killed. It is certain that the Japanese army must have attacked the patrol, and three dead Japanese corpses were left at the scene. ”

"The two patrols that reinforced the past reported that the total strength of this Japanese force was more than two hundred. Because there were too many troops, the two patrols were afraid of being ambushed, so they did not pursue. ”

General Sheng Jing's brows furrowed, and just as he was about to say something, another burst of gunfire rang out outside the city, looming.

One of the commanders of the new army immediately spoke: "It's still the location where the gunshots rang out just now, the firepower is more intensive, and I want to have heavy machine guns!" It's not good, the Japanese must have killed us back to the carbine, and the two patrols we reinforced in the past are finished! ”

General Sheng Jing's face also became solemn, and he asked the commander who had just spoken: "Commander Wang, the most important thing now is to find out the strength of this Japanese army, I want you to immediately take a thousand new troops out of the city, find this Japanese army and confirm their strength!" ”

"Patrol battalion, go to the city wall immediately, and prepare to defend the city! The remaining 4,000 men of the new army, ready for battle, ready to reinforce the walls at any time. ”

Although there were a thousand well-equipped new troops around them, they were afraid of the Japanese army from the bottom of their hearts, and they did not know where the Japanese army was lurking and how many there were.

Therefore, as soon as the king left the city, he ordered a thousand new troops to hug up and walk slowly towards the place where the gun had just been fired.

Unfortunately, less than a kilometer after they left the city walls, a dense burst of gunfire rang out in front. And the officers and men of the New Army, who were walking in front under his command, were swept down in pieces under the attack of intensive firepower, and there was no room to fight back.

"It's the Japanese army, the Japanese army has heavy machine guns, the firepower is too strong, retreat quickly and retreat to Mukden City!" The shocked Commander Wang almost subconsciously ordered.

After finishing, directly under the protection of the guards, the first one fled for his life in the direction of Mukden.

The Japanese troops who ambushed them seemed to have only intended to teach them a lesson and did not pursue them.

But even so, when Commander Wang returned to Mukden with his troops, there were only more than 700 people left in the 1,000 new army, and two heavy machine guns were lost.

When the king climbed the city wall with his head down, he walked in front of General Shengjing. General Sheng Jing, whose face was solemn, did not curse because of his poor performance just now.

Because, at this moment, in his heart, he was speechless because of shock.

It took half a minute before he asked another commander of the new army: "Commander Zhang, are you sure that there are more than 1,000 Japanese troops outside, and they are also armed with several heavy machine guns!" ”

"Yes, the last will confirm." Commander Zhang, who also had a solemn face, replied very affirmatively.

When I saw General Sheng Jing's face becoming more and more gloomy, and even became a little pale. Commander Zhang hurriedly comforted: "Please rest assured, the Japanese army is only more than 1,000 people, and my Fengtian garrison has more than 10,000 people. The Japanese army wants to take Mukden with more than 1,000 people, that is delusional! ”

"Also, there is still the Liaodong Army in Liaodong, this thousand Japanese troops must have escaped the Liaodong Army's lone army to go deep into Fengtian City, and your lord can also order the Liaodong Army to kick you to copy the back road of more than 1,000 Japanese troops!"

General Sheng Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Commander Zhang, no accident, this Japanese army must be the Japanese army that attacked the headquarters of the Liaodong Army. The Liaodong Army is now blocking the attack of 100,000 Japanese troops on the front line, and there are no troops to draw at all. Therefore, we can only rely on ourselves to defend Mukden. ”

"However, I will immediately write a report to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to send troops to support. At the very least, let the imperial court vigorously support the Liaodong Army, let the Liaodong Army block the Japanese attack, and don't let the Japanese army break through the defense line and kill Mukden, otherwise Fengtian will really be finished. ”

Commander Zhang hurriedly reassured: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely defend Fengtian." ”

After the panicked General Sheng Jing hurriedly left the city wall, he went straight to his general's palace and began to write a report.

After finishing, he directly found a few of the best guards from the guards, went out of the city from other directions, and quickly whipped up the horses to report to the capital.
