"Our wing has been reduced by 1,123 people, and we ask His Excellency the division commander to give tactical guidance." Lieutenant General Ogawa of the 4th Division looked at the telegram from the commander of the 8th Wing and was greatly surprised. The 8th Wing was awarded the Meiji Emperor's "Courage and Drama", which is an unprecedented honor in the history of the Japanese Army. Such a wing can't hold out for even an hour, it seems that the Russian army is desperate, I don't know how the Qing people of the two brigades on the 214 heights can block the attack of the Russian army for half an hour.

At this time, if the wing commander of the Eighth Wing can hear Xiao Chuan's question, maybe he will complain, you don't look at what we are holding in our hands, the main wing machine guns of the dignified standing division are not as many as the two brigades (battalions) of the Qing army, the gap in light weapons is even more obvious, and the grenadiers and grenades on the other side are not at all imaginable by those staff officers of the division, it can be said that the Russian army does not even have the opportunity to get close to the Qing army by 100 meters, and the Russian army's cattle are tall and big There is no meaning.

"Call back. The Matsushima Wing is requested to continue to hold out for 20 minutes, and then launch a counter-charge, and the divisional field artillery wing will block and fire at an elevation of more than 300 meters on the anticline after 27 minutes to cover their advance. Although Xiao Chuan was reluctant, he was reluctant to trap the Eighth Wing, which had made great achievements, so he had to trouble the retreating field artillery wing to temporarily deploy and carry out artillery support, as for the infantry, he did not dare to send it, otherwise the strength of a wing to block the tens of thousands of old Maozi who rushed down from the hillside was purely looking for disability.

"Captain, our team has run out, and half of our squad has been fully broken, can you give us a squad of reinforcements?" The deputy of a brigade cried to the captain of the Matsushima Wing for help.

"Baga, the direct teams of the wing have been sent to the western position, and if you can't resist it, I have no troops to send. Even if you beat the last person left, you must continue to fight, and you must have the determination of all the members to break the jade, and you must not live up to Your Majesty's words to our wing. ”

"Ha Yi, I understand my humble duties." In fact, the deputy of the brigade also understood that the wing no longer had any troops, and his mind was not at all to hope that the commander of the Matsushima wing could scatter beans into soldiers, but wanted to adopt another strategy: "Your Excellency, in order to save troops, I suggest that the position on the east side be retracted to a depth of 300 meters, increase the density of firepower, and obtain a better firepower range. ”

"Huh? Do you mean to abandon the first line and retreat to the second-line trenches on the east side of the wing headquarters? "Matsushima is a veteran officer who was born as a staff officer, and he naturally knows the terrain well." In this way, the flank and rear of the 214 heights will be exposed, and even if the valley bottom road between the two heights is opened by the Russian army, except for the infantry artillery that can block it, other infantry weapons will no longer be able to block the road? ”

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, our army has suffered huge casualties now, the Russian army is constantly taking advantage of the numerical advantage to repeatedly attack our army's positions, our soldiers have no rest at all, the casualties in these forty minutes are constantly rising, if we don't retreat for a while, it is impossible to hold out for another twenty minutes. At that time, it will be impossible to block the road, but if we retreat, the Russian army can choose to force itself across the road to pursue, but the heavy weapons will be blocked by us, or they will abandon the relatively gentle hillside and have to attack the steep slope where we are stationed, if the Russian army is smart, they may find a third option. ”

"Attack Heights 214 from the flank, so they can get past our lines."

"But at least according to the order, we can hold on to the 322 heights and will not be captured by the Russian army, and it will take half an hour for the Russian army to take the 214 heights, even if they are fast, it will take an hour to enter the periphery of Jinzhou, at that time our division has been waiting for them in Jinzhou City, and we will dispatch from the 322 heights to block the retreat of the Russian army, even if we can't completely annihilate them, we can also achieve a good result."

"Yes, I didn't expect you to have such a well-rounded mind, why don't you make your suggestion to Captain Suzuki?"

"Report to Your Excellency, Captain Suzuki, who has just been hit in the head by a Russian bullet and is unconscious. Dare to give advice to His Excellency the Wing Commander. ”

"Oh, send someone to send Suzuki-kun down, as for your brigade, it will be handed over to you, you will be the temporary captain, and I will recommend you to His Excellency the division commander after the war. Shaozuo, do a good job, I'm optimistic about you. ”

"Thanks to the cultivation of the wing commander, he will definitely lead his subordinates to fight bloodily to protect the safety of the wing headquarters. Do you think you need to contact the Qing people on the opposite high ground? ”

"No, for the sake of the suddenness of the battle, I don't think there is any need to inform them. It should be regarded as their sacrifice for the common good of the Great East and Asia. ”

"Hayi, I'll go back and take over the brigade immediately and quickly retreat to the second line of defense. I think those Qing slaves can be regarded as making the best use of their resources now, compared to being hanged by the Russians, their sacrifice is vigorous, I think they will be grateful to His Excellency the Wing Captain. ”

"I hope so." Matsushima waved his hand, and the deputy of the brigade hurried back to the position on the east side. Matsushima looked at the low 214 Heights on the opposite side and reflected silently in his heart. Perhaps these Qing people are so capable of fighting, so that he has a trace of inexplicable jealousy in his heart, the Russians can send 300,000 troops in the Far East is already the limit, and it is not an impossible task for the imperial army to defeat them by gritting their teeth. But if the Qing army's army was as well-armed and valiant as the one just now, given the Qing nation's almost unlimited reserve of soldiers, their threat was far superior to those ferocious old men. Maybe his strategy of killing people with a knife can kill the new army of this old empire, so that even if he is cursed by the slaves of the Qing State, he will have nothing, so that he can be worthy of his country and His Majesty's grace.

Just when he was thinking about it, the Russian charge was once again repulsed, but looking at the Russian troops who had regrouped after retreating to eight hundred meters away, bullying them for not having artillery support, it was obvious that they would soon launch another sea of people attack. The brigade defending on the eastern front has quietly withdrawn from its position and is retreating to the position on the side of the main peak, and through the empty position, you can overlook the western slope of the 214 Heights and nearly half of the anticline.

"The Japanese retreated?" Wu Luzhen and Guan Yue looked at each other, not understanding which one of these little devils was making trouble? After all, Lao Maozi has not rushed to the top of the mountain, how can the position be said to give up, so that even if the Russian army does not lay the main peak of the 322 heights, it can open up the road under the mountain, and it is meaningless for the Japanese army to hold on to the main peak of the 322 heights at that time, unless they can push the artillery up the mountain, obviously the Japanese army did not leave much artillery, otherwise the Russian army's crowd tactics just now are almost the rhythm of sending to death.

"Brother Shouqing, what kind of medicine do you see in this little devil's gourd? I really don't understand, it seems that they still have to have two brigades of troops, not weaker than us, how can they give up their positions? Guan Yue couldn't help but ask.

"This, the Japanese casualties seem to be greater than ours, could it be that their superiors ordered them to retreat after knowing the situation?" A staff officer guessed.

"Impossible." Wu Luzhen shook the telegram he had just received in his hand, "The forwards of the Fourth and Tenth Divisions have just arrived in Jinzhou, and their guards have just withdrawn from the outskirts of Lushun, and there are still ten miles away from the official road here, even if the whole army runs through, it will take more than an hour to pass. This is the information that our reconnaissance plane sent back just after it landed, ten minutes ago. ”

"Then why didn't the Japanese hold out, I think their strength would not be a problem even if it lasted thirty minutes?" Guan Yue was also confused.

"Hehe, let's just be enthusiastic about the little devils, and they are also worried about us?" Wu Luzhen marked the intelligence on the map, and in the circle of the contour line, the battle lines of the Japanese army and the Russian army retreated and I advanced, and now several staff officers and Guan Yue understood.

"I'm rubbing, the little devil is a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chickens - not well-intentioned, their retreat just allowed the Russian army to stand on the Z-shaped bend of the road, and they also occupy a geographical advantage, and can use the existing positions of the Japanese army to attack the western flank of our army, cutting off our main supply." Guan Yue understood the situation and couldn't help but scold, "At this moment, the Russian army will definitely desperately attack our western position, and only by repelling us can they pursue the Japanese rearguard." The little devils on the opposite side calculated that our retreat road was cut off by the Russian army, and they had to fight with Lao Maozi to break the net, so they simply used us as a backing to cover the retreat of their guards. ”

"The Russian army has already occupied the opposite position, and there is a battalion of Russian troops who have begun to attack from the main road to the road behind our side." While everyone was frowning, a report from an observation post made the atmosphere even more solemn.

"Shall we continue to hold on?" A small staff officer asked in a low voice, and was slapped on the back of the head by an elderly logistics staff officer, "Stick to a fart, the little devil sold us, and you still count the money for others honestly." If you want me to say, let's just retreat. ”

"Withdraw, can you withdraw? There are cliffs on the east side, and the road on the west side is still under the control of Russian firepower, where do we want to retreat? Guan Yue couldn't help but be annoyed, who would have thought that the Russian army, which was still like a plague chicken just now, would cut off the back road of the Wuyi New Army so quickly. Several staff officers and the two chief officers were all thinking of a way, and the sound of gunfire outside was strong and deafening, but there was a quiet silence in the command post.

"Town, phone." The words of a communications staff officer broke the silence and caused everyone to exhale in unison. "It's the head seat."

"The main seat? They're coming? Wu Luzhen hurriedly copied the telephone, "Hey, is the head seat?" Where are you? ”

"I'm near you, you were sold, you know?"

"Huh?!" Wu Luzhen hurriedly leaned out of the window to make a phone call, looking for the figure of the head seat everywhere. But he didn't know that Wu Chenxuan, the head seat, had quietly sat in the back seat, followed by the Swift reconnaissance plane, which was already over the two high grounds, looking down on the situation in the war zone, as if he had turned on the God mode, contacting Wu Luzhen through radio to command and control the entire battle situation.

Want to know if Wu Luzhen and the others can escape? Will the little devil's trick succeed? Let's listen to the next breakdown.
