Chapter 134 Offensive and Defensive Battle (2)

The sleeping person was awake and time flew. When Chen Renchun was woken up by Lin Fasen, the sky was already lightning, "Oh, it's dawn? Why don't you call me?"

"Look at your good sleep." Lin Fasen took out a rolled cigarette and handed it over, and the latter took it and lit it. "Let the brothers get up too, right?"

"Let them sleep for a while."

"I knew you were soft-hearted." Chen Renchun smiled silly and pushed the soldiers around him, "Tell them all to get up! I don't know where this place is? I'm sleeping so hard?"

Lin Fasen suddenly wrinkled his nose and flapped his nose a few times quickly, "Swish! Old Chen, have you smelled it?"

"What? Isn't it just the smell of smoke?"

"No, it seems like something is burnt."

Chen Renchun threw down the dry tobacco and smelled it like him. It was true that there were waves of fishy smells coming from the air. This smell was very strange and familiar, and it seemed that I had smelled it there, "It seems... Aihui City!"

"Yes. It's the smell of the iron smelting plant in Aihui City."

Aihui is close to the Amur River. After the Sino-Russian war, it became the first heavy place for China and Russia to engage in steel production. Together with the steel plant established in Tashan, Anshan, Tieling and Jincheng in the 16th year of Xianfeng, it formed China's first heavy industrial base commonly known as the "Oriental Ruhr".

Most of Hu Damao's soldiers came from Heilongjiang Province, and Lin Fasen and Chen Renchun were garrisons in Aihui City. The smell of this kind of steel burning was known at a glance. It was just because I didn't expect it in advance, so there would be such doubts and pauses. "I remembered that there is a Japanese steel factory in Hanjiangchuan, but it is just in the west of the city. We wouldn't have touched it here, right?"

Chen Renchun sniffed, "Looking at the mountain and running to death. Although he could smell the smell, it was not certain how far it was."

"Then what do you think? Is it that we just went there like this or what?"

"With only a thousand of us, it's probably not possible to rush over directly. We have to go back and find people. The more the better!"

"Okay. I'll take people back, you and the rest of your brothers are here." Chen Renchun made a quick decision, "Lao Lin, can't you do it first?"

"Why, I'm afraid I'll take your credit?"

"Go to your mother!" Chen Renchun cursed with a smile, and then changed into a formal look. "Lao Lin, although this steel factory belongs to Japanese, its garrison will definitely not be weaker than Aihui City. This little person is not enough to see. Don't be fooled, can you hear it? Let's talk about everything when I bring people back-or-or, are you going back? I'll wait here?"

"Everything, I'll remember it. Go quickly, I'll wait for you." Lin Fasen nodded with a smile, "I promise, I will never move before you come back, so why not?"

Chen Renchun no longer insisted and led the soldiers of the two companies to move quickly. In a short while, he disappeared into the morning mist of Hanjiang River.

The sky became brighter and the gunshots from the night made the people in the city know the reality that the war had reached their doorstep. The streets that were supposed to be bustling were covered with ice and cold. Ordinary people even lacked the courage to open the window and look outside. The heads of each family chose to hide tacitly, gathering the adults and children in the family together, and sternly ordered: "No one is allowed to go out, and no sound is allowed!"

Lin Fasen naturally did not know the almost identical admonition that had happened in countless Japanese homes. Even if he heard it, he couldn't understand it. Seeing that the sky was getting bright and there was no one on the street. The place where he was located was the center of a thoroughfare street. There was no defense here. Once the Japanese discovered it, it would be inextricable. "All up, let's set off."

"Sir, didn't you just say that you won't move?"

"Look at this place, the Japanese are attacking. What defense do we rely on? Quickly, all of them move!"

The Qing army soldiers began to move and began to marching through the streets in the weak sunlight. Just like at night, their actions were not subject to any resistance. Not only did they not encounter Japanese soldiers, but they did not even encounter the people. "Sir, this is not an empty city, right? Why are there no one?"

"No! Didn't you say it just now? There are steel plants and factories here, so how can there be no one?"

"Where are we going now?"

A casual sentence stopped Lin Fasen. Of course, where should he lead the troops to such a purposeless wandering around? After a glance around, Lin Fasen made a decision, "Go, follow this road."

Following this selected road, the terrain gradually increased. It looked like a gentle slope, still a deserted street. Nearly two kilometers of distance was left behind. Lin Fasen stood at the top of the slope and looked down. Nineteen towering huge chimneys appeared in front of him. There was a large area surrounded by walls, covering an area of ​​more than four square kilometers. The whole picture of Hanjiangchuan Steel Plant was at your disposal!

"Sir, this is the Japanese steel factory, right?"

Lin Fasen looked into the factory with a telescope. Unlike this deserted street market, the steel mill was crowded with people, carrying a special round hat, walking back and forth, saying something. There were large buildings built in all corners of the wall, and Japanese soldiers carrying rifles were often in and out. The area in the center was the heart of the steel mill, and the huge chimneys spewed out thick smoke, but it was just a south wind, so they would not smell the strong smell of iron.

After observing for a long time, Lin Fasen put down his telescope. With such a large area and so many workers and soldiers, he could not afford to take down the troops in his hands. It can even be said that it would be a blessing to be able to attack the gate of the steel plant!

He sneered and raised his telescope again. It can be seen from the camera that the Japanese have done their best to defend the Hanjiangchuan Steel Plant. On the surface, the buildings around them are scattered, but in fact? It is abnormal to have buildings around such a huge and important steel plant! Needless to ask, the ones living in this must be the Japanese soldiers who are responsible for the defense of the steel plant? Lin Fasen thought in his heart.

Until Si-jung finally came back. Not only him, but Hu Damao, "Military Gate? Why are you here?"

"Where is the steel factory?" Hu Damao asked.

"Just below this gentle slope." Lin Fasen turned around and pointed, and said.

"Go up!" Hu Damao kept running towards the top of the slope. Lin Fasen grabbed Chen Renchun and asked, "Why are the military gates coming? How many people have come?"

"As soon as I talked to the military gate, he said he wanted to bring people in person. You said, "Do I dare to stop him? You don't know about Lao Hu's temper." Chen Renchun explained a few words, then opened his mouth happily, "This time, sir, brought twelve camps here, and there are more than 6,000 people!"

Lin Fasen thought in his mind that he would match the newly joined troops with the total strength of more than 7,000 people, and it would be no problem to take down the steel plant! Thinking of this, he was happy, "Okay! Who will attack later? Have you asked?"

"The couple suffocated the baby, either you or me!" Chen Renchun smiled and quickly followed.

Hu Damao only glanced at him for a few times and knew it, "Wu Jianchou, Jinding Nian, Ma Guanlong, Yang Xiaoyun, Fang Weikai, Yue Fengyang?"

"yes!"

"You six of you take on the first wave of charges and take down the outer fortifications of the steel plant as soon as possible. Raise obstacles for the follow-up troops."

"yes!"

"Lin Fasen, Chen Renchun, Zhang Yong, Guozhi? After the battle between Wu Fangchou and others was over, your four battalions immediately attacked the steel factory and seized the command center of the steel factory as soon as possible. Except for those who resist, no one is allowed to hurt. Even if they have to hurt, they must try their best to keep their lives."

"yes!"

"There are also Liu Guangdi, Xia Yunxiu, Ma Xiaolin, and Song Liang. You four lead troops to follow Lin Fasen's troops. After entering, they will focus on attacking the Japanese soldiers stationed in the steel plant, that is, the Japanese barracks area located in the four corners. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"That's it, go down and prepare for the battle!"

The first thing that had contact with the enemy was a battalion in Jindingnian. When the five hundred soldiers rushed to the Japanese defensive front one kilometer away from the steel plant, they encountered strong obstacles from the opponent.

From a high point, all the buildings are not very different from ordinary Japanese houses. However, when the Qing army came closer, they realized that there was a fundamental difference between the two: the walls of the buildings here were low, so that the enemy's sight would not be blocked. The buildings of the buildings were all made of hard bluestone. There were no less than 300 Japanese soldiers ambushed in the two floors, and they opened fire fiercely at the enemy who came from attacking through the shooting holes dug out in advance!

Each building became a death channel that the Qing army could not break through. A battalion of Jinding Nian fell down before it could reach 30 meters! But the building complex here thought of a possible war situation at the beginning of its design, so there were no blind spots in its position. The Qing army troops could not even move forward!

"Run! Run! Don't be stuck by the enemy!" Jin Dingnian saw a young soldier's neck being penetrated by bullets. His young body seemed to have been imposed by someone. He covered his throat with his hands, and blood flowed out from the fountain between his fingers. Within a moment when he was slowly lying down, three bullets opened three brilliant blood flowers on his chest. His body had turned into a corpse before he fell to the ground!

Qing soldiers braved the enemy's bullets and advanced forward, intending to exchange space for a moment of time with speed! But this intention was also seen through the Japanese army, and the enemy's firepower became even more fierce.

The Qing army did not carry heavy firepower. Even if there were, these people were not as quick as the team He in Wang Yusi Camp. They could only be used as firepower support. They would not play a big role in such occasions.

Jin Dingnian looked at the bodies of soldiers who had fallen all over the ground, and the pain in his heart was beyond words, "If this continues, it will definitely not work! Even if all his battalions are dead, they may not be able to complete the first battle plan." He murmured to himself, "What should I think of?"
