The plan to draw the snake out of the hole was formulated by Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang overnight after the 11th Division arrived at the village fort.

The core of this plan was not to attack the 14th Brigade, but to attract the 15th Brigade, which was located behind the 11th Division, to support the 14th Brigade. At this time, the Fifth Division and a regiment of Tsarist Russia immediately interspersed, detoured behind the Japanese army, and built a position. Prevent the Japanese army from escaping north.

It stands to reason that compared with a division of the Japanese army and a division in eastern Liaodong, although the number of people is comparable, there is a big gap in equipment and training, and to destroy the 14th brigade, there is no need for a division at all, and there is only one brigade at the top, and the 14th brigade can disappear without a trace from the Japanese army's structure.

Judging by the artillery, one division of the Japanese army was ten field guns. And Liaodong is twenty-five gates. Machine guns, 90 for a division of the Japanese army, and 328 for a division in Liaodong. The gap, the gap in national strength and national strength.

Japan has never surpassed the big country next to it, even at the time of the First Sino-Japanese War, he did not reach the point where the upper echelons of the Japanese army came to Japan to gamble, but unfortunately, the last gamble, let Japan lose the gamble. In fact, the already poor national strength is even worse. Since then, even if Japan has been refueling, it has not caught up.

"Tell the 6th Division, give me a hard fight, and you must use the fiercest attack to make the 14th Brigade call for help." After turning around and giving this order, Duan Qirui walked to the side of the bunker, picked up the binoculars, and began to observe the situation and wait for the next move of the Japanese army.

Odd? Gangcun, who put down the pencil in his hand, shook his head, just now, he found a terrible problem, that is, why Liaodong would concentrate the strength of a division to attack the 14th Brigade. Judging from the map, although the 14th Brigade is in front of him, but behind him, there is a bottom fifteenth journey, if it is to attack his own headquarters, it is simply impossible, but now, Liaodong is attacking so fiercely, what is this for.

Thinking of this, Gangcun was buried on the map again. Start thinking about it seriously.

"Report, the 14th Brigade urgently asked for help telegram, Liaodong has intensified its attack, and now part of the second-line positions have been occupied by the Liaodong Army," a staff officer came over and handed over the 14th Brigade's request for help to Gangcun.

This is fast, the Liaodong Army is still not human, it has only been less than two hours, and the second-line position is in danger, is the Liaodong Army not afraid of death.

Perhaps the chief of staff saw Gangcun's doubts, stepped forward, and the chief of staff said: "Your Excellency the division commander, the Liaodong Army has used a new type of artillery this time, and our position cannot stop this kind of artillery attack at all, and the artillery position of the 14th Brigade and Regiment was destroyed by the Liaodong Army in less than half an hour after the battle began. ”

The new artillery Gangcun opened his eyes in confusion, he didn't know what new artillery had appeared in Liaodong.

"This kind of artillery, one when we have two field guns. And the barrel is nearly two meters long, which is very similar to a naval gun.

With a grunt, Gangcun's body trembled when he heard this, what is the concept of naval artillery, he knows too well, it is a guy who will have a big pit on the ground if the cannon goes down. If it explodes next to people, let alone people, even the bones can't be found, and it will become a rain of blood on the spot, and then, if there is no then, there is nothing.

"Are you sure?" Gangmura stepped forward and asked.

"Sure, this is what the soldier who came back to deliver the message said personally, our machine guns were smashed into scrap metal in less than two rounds in front of this kind of artillery." The chief of staff said with some concern.

If this is the case, then the Liaodong Army will attack its own headquarters, which is a very feasible plan. Taking a deep breath, Gangcun returned to the map and looked at it carefully, if the Liaodong Army broke through the 14th Brigade, then the Liaodong Army could directly penetrate and come to him, and his own command had only one wing, which could not be resisted at all. The only way is to concentrate the forces of the two brigades of the 14th Brigade and the 15th Brigade to block the Liaodong Army at the front, only in this way will it be the safest here.

"Order, let the 15th Brigade set off immediately, reinforce the 14th Brigade, and be sure to block the attack of the Liaodong Army. Gangcun, who thought about it for a while, began to issue orders.

He never dreamed that his counterpart, Qi Rui, was waiting for him to give this order.

At the forward position in eastern Liaodong, Duan Qirui, who was wearing a military uniform, held his steel helmet in his hand and kept walking in the bunker.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. I have already done what I should do, and the rest is only to see if Gangcun can take the bait.

Hey, after walking to the bunker again and looking at the bursts of gunsmoke in the distance, Duan Qirui returned to the chair where the ammunition box was reached and sat down.

I don't believe that you can watch one of your brigades be wiped out by me. Thinking of this, Duan Qirui walked to the map in a few steps.

Not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if Gangcun sees his plan, then he has to keep an extra hand, so Duan Qirui decided to make a plan and be ready to change the target of the attack at any time.

If the 15th Brigade is not fooled, then it will be its own, and after destroying the 14th Brigade and Regiment on the ground, it will directly attack the 11th Division of the Japanese Army. Let the Japanese division lose its command, anyway, now behind him, a cavalry regiment in Liaodong and a cavalry brigade of the Tsarist Russian army are behind him, he doesn't believe that in this world, who can stop this fast and mobile best cavalry, thinking about it, it is a kind of death.

The cavalry of Tsarist Russia, Duan Qirui knew very well that when he was in Outer Mongolia, the cavalry of Liaodong fought with these cavalry, and he had to admit that the Liaodong army was good everywhere, it was this cavalry, and no one was awesome. In terms of one fight and one fight, the Liaodong cavalry is not the opponent of the Russian cavalry, but in terms of infantry, the Liaodong army has an advantage.

He suddenly remembered that when he was leaving, Liu Jun gave him a letter, and he had burned it himself when he arrived in Boli, but he remembered the content of it clearly.

This time, his aim was not only to destroy the Japanese army, but also to observe the offensive habits and combat effectiveness of the Tsarist Russian army. Just in case.

From these few words, Duan Qirui actually knew that Liu Jun had already begun to make a move against Tsarist Russia, or rather, he already had this idea in his heart, otherwise, he would definitely not let himself observe the situation of the Tsarist army more. This is obviously to tell yourself that in the future, you will have to take the lead in attacking the commander of Tsarist Russia. He was the commander-in-chief of the future war against Tsarist Russia.
