Duan Qirui was still thinking back to Liu Jun's conversation when he left Lushun alone, so he didn't notice a trace of change on the battlefield, and Feng Guozhang on the side, although he was in front of the map, he still heard that something was wrong, and suddenly put down the pen in his hand, Feng Guozhang came to the bunker in a few steps, and took the telescope from the staff officer to look at it. He found that the artillery fire that had been suppressed on the Japanese position was now beginning to be angry, and the attacking troops were suppressed on the mountainside, and they could not lift their heads.

Strange, where did the Japanese artillery fire come from, Feng Guozhang, who lowered his head and pondered twice, poked Duan Qirui: "Look at it." Seeing that Duan Qirui didn't react, Feng Guozhang poked again and said, "What do you think." ”

"Didn't think anything?" Duan Qirui came back to his senses and took the telescope from Feng Guozhang's hand. After a few glances, he also saw the problem.

"What's going on, it's not that we have destroyed the Japanese artillery fire before the battle, what kind of artillery is this. : Duan Qirui, who turned his head, looked at the staff officer beside him and asked.

The staff officer's responsibility is to analyze and judge the situation, he lowered his head and thought twice, and after picking up the binoculars and looking at it, the staff officer stepped forward: "Commander, this is not like the artillery fire of the 14th Brigade, but from behind him." ”

Behind, Duan Qirui frowned and walked to the map in a few steps.

Smack, tapping the pen on the map, Duan Qirui took a deep breath and looked at Feng Guozhang standing beside him and said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, this must be the 15th Brigade." ”

Well, although Feng Guozhang didn't speak, he still nodded, his judgment, it was also the reinforcements of the 14th Brigade, but whether it was the 15th Brigade or not, this still needs to be ascertained.

"Chief of Staff, give an order immediately, quickly find out the situation." Duan Qirui saw Feng Guozhang's doubts, turned around and began to give orders.

The situation was soon ascertained, and it was true that the current artillery fire was the artillery unit of the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army, and according to the situation, the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army was moving in the direction of the position of the 14th Brigade and Regiment.

"Okay." Duan Qirui, who got the news, punched the map, and he was waiting for this news, taking a deep breath. Duan Qirui Duan glanced at the staff officers beside him: "Order, the Sixth Division will stop the attack and return to the Japanese position to defend on the spot." ”

"Yes." After the staff officer finished saluting, he turned and walked out.

"I think we can let the Fifth Division go." Seeing the staff officer walk out, Feng Guozhang stepped forward and said.

Duan Qirui thought for a moment and nodded. can be regarded as agreeing with Feng Guozhang's statement.

"Order, let the Fifth Division, the 15th Regiment of the Tsarist Russian Army, set off immediately." The order was given again, and Duan Qirui did not hesitate at all.

Everything is ready, and now, I can only sit and wait for the interspersed actions of the Fifth Division.

Taking a deep breath, Duan Qirui glanced at Feng Guozhang who was standing beside him, and smiled, Duan Qirui smiled: "Why don't you go and drink two glasses."

Feng Guozhang also understands that now, if the Fifth Division takes a detour, it will be completed the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and during this time, the entire offensive can be done as long as the 15th Division is not withdrawn, and the commander of the Sixth Division can definitely do this.

"Okay, but I can't drink Lao Maozi's wine, where do I have two bottles, do you want to drink them."

Okay, Duan Qirui smiled slightly, took the military hat from the side and walked out.

The officers and men in the bunker were relieved to see that the commander and others were so relaxed, which showed that this war was a sure victory.

Murabao, the headquarters of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, Gangcun is walking back and forth in the headquarters, and now, the 15th Brigade has pressed up, and he is a little worried that the 14th Brigade can block the attack of the Liaodong Army before the 15th Brigade arrives, which is very important.

Now, the 15th Brigade has been on its way for three hours, and it stands to reason that it has stabilized its position, but why, no one has come back to report it until now. Moreover, from here, the sound of gunfire in the distance has gradually subsided, and it is even said that the fighting has stopped.

Could it be that the Liaodong Army has broken through the defense line, and Gangcun, who thought of this, walked out of the headquarters with some uneasiness and looked at the winding official road in the distance.

It's a pity that nothing can be seen except for the endless trees.

Hey, Gangcun, who sighed for a long time, reluctantly returned to the headquarters and sat down, constantly rubbing his temples with his hands.

In the distance, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and Gangcun, who heard this sound, suddenly stood up from his chair, and through the window he saw that several Japanese soldiers were quickly coming to his headquarters.

"What's the situation?" When these soldiers ran in, Gangcun asked first.

"Report to the division commander, the Liaodong Army has retreated to the original front-line position under the joint attack of the 15th Brigade and the 14th Brigade."

Gangcun, who heard the news, finally breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that the Liaodong Army would break through the position of the 14th Brigade and Regiment, and then it would attack his headquarters directly, and now that the situation has stabilized, Gangcun nodded and thought carefully twice before raising his head and saying: "Order, let the 145th Brigade and Regiment coordinate the garrison to prevent the Liaodong Army from attacking." ”

After giving the order, Gangcun easily returned to his office, now the overall situation has been decided, the task given to him by the prince is not to attack Boli's Liaodong army, but to monitor their actions, there is no need to fight with others, the person said that his own strength is not enough to gnaw the Liaodong force.

And so the day passed. Early the next morning, Gangcun got up from the bed, last night, the Liaodong Army, which was good at attacking at night, did not attack, which made him very puzzled in his heart, although he had doubts in his heart, but he still classified this matter as the Liaodong Army was unfamiliar with the terrain and environment here, so he did not feel strange.

Breakfast in Gangcun is as simple as a plate of spicy sauce and sashimi. After a few moments of solving his breakfast, Gangcun came to the headquarters and began to ponder in front of the map, he knew in his heart that it might not be long before the Liaodong Army would launch an attack on his position, and how he resisted this wave of attacks in Liaodong, once he resisted, then he had nothing to worry about, after all, the first wave of attacks would be the most violent. And then, it's all nothing to worry about.

He once turned around and studied the combat methods of Liaodong, and knew that as soon as the Liaodong Army attacked, it would definitely concentrate artillery to shell the position. And this will be the most difficult time for their own troops.
