Chapter 651: Back Hand
A month later, whether it was Liaodong or Fengtian, the spring ploughing was completed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The weapons and ammunition that Yuan Shikai bought from abroad were also sent to Fengtian in a steady stream at this time to equip the newly expanded Three Towns New Army of the Beiyang Army.
Xu Shichang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, also understood that there had already been a battle between the Liaodong Army and the Beiyang Army. The three eastern provinces are so big, as the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and there will only be one master in the three eastern provinces, either the Liaodong Army will take the initiative to withdraw from the three eastern provinces, or the Beiyang Army will take the initiative to withdraw. However, neither the Liaodong Army nor the Beiyang Army could take the initiative to withdraw. In that case, there is only one war.
Although Xu Shichang didn't know when the Liaodong Army would attack him, there was one thing that Xu Shichang knew better than anyone. The sooner the Beiyang Army's newly expanded New Army of the Three Towns forms its combat effectiveness, the higher the Beiyang Army's chances of victory will be when the three eastern provinces are decided to belong in the future.
Thinking of this, the Beiyang New Army in the Three Towns was training all the time except for resting.
At this time, after several months of rotational training, the first batch of telegraph operators of the Liaodong Army had already taken up their posts.
Because of the limited number of qualified telegraphers, the First Army of the Liaodong Army, which was about to enter the war, directly became the first batch of troops equipped with radio telegraphs.
When army commander Wang Hu summoned the eight or nine regiment commanders under his command to listen to the training results of each regiment, the commander of the radio communication company, who had just been appointed, suddenly broke into the conference room, and then walked all the way to Wang Hu's side and whispered something in Wang Hu's ear.
In the blink of an eye, the serious expression on Wang Hu's face was replaced by excitement.
In front of all the regiment commanders, he excitedly announced: "Brothers, we have been training for so long, and now we finally have a chance to test the results. The commander has just sent a telegram asking us to prepare for battle, wait for orders, and be ready to attack at any time to take Mukden and destroy the Beiyang Army's new army in the two towns that has been transferred to Mukden from Guannei and the new army in the three towns that have just been expanded. ”
"It's finally going to fight, Lao Wang, I've been holding back for nearly a year. The last time I fought the Japanese, Lao Wang, I was red for a while, and now it's finally our turn! As soon as Wang Hu finished speaking, the next regiment leader shouted excitedly.
Several other regiment commanders were also excited, and they all opened their mouths to echo, shouting that they would send troops immediately. Some people even began to shout directly, giving the Beiyang New Army a lesson that will never be forgotten. ”
Wang Hu decisively interrupted: "Okay, shut up for me." Self-confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is arrogance, and when it comes to the battlefield, it will suffer a big loss. ”
"Everyone has never fought with the Beiyang Army, and they think that they can defeat the Russian army and the Japanese army, and it is absolutely not a problem to defeat the Beiyang Army. But what I want to tell you is that the strength of the Beiyang Army is far stronger than we imagined. ”
"Take the firepower of the troops as an example, compared with us, the Beiyang Army with the same strength is not worse than us in terms of the proportion of light and heavy machine guns, the number of artillery, and even the caliber of artillery!"
"As for the combat effectiveness of the troops, the Beiyang Army of the two towns transferred from Guannai is a veteran of more than one year of training. If it weren't for the fact that they had not participated in real combat, we would have almost no advantage in combat effectiveness! ”
The seven or eight regiment commanders still had arrogant expressions just now, but at this time they had been replaced by solemnity.
Captain Wang, who was the first to shout just now, subconsciously didn't believe it. But thinking that these things were all said by the army commander himself, Commander Wang could only believe it. After believing it, I began to worry about the battle that was about to break out.
Then he asked Wang Hu: "Commander, isn't this battle very difficult to fight!" ”
This time it was Wang Hu's turn to be arrogant, and shouted in front of all the regiment commanders: "It is precisely because it is difficult to fight that our first army is released, otherwise what would the commander do when he formed our first army?" ”
"Rest assured, the Beiyang Army is difficult to fight, and we are not vegetarians. To tell you the truth, we have been training for such a long time for siege warfare for this battle. Also, let's not forget that since the formation of the Liaodong Army, the commander has never fought uncertain battles, and this time is no exception. ”
"The commander must have a backhand that we don't know, Commander, do you already know!"
Wang Hu smiled mysteriously at first, then shook his head and replied: "Those of you who should know will naturally know when the time comes, they are all people who are the head of the regiment, why don't you understand the rules." ”
"When you get back, get ready for battle. In addition, each regiment sent its reconnaissance platoon to the military headquarters, and the reconnaissance troops in your hands were all eliminated by the special operations detachment, and if they are used well, they are worth thousands of troops. ”
In a forest three kilometers outside Fengtian City, the two brigades of the special operations detachment led by Zhang Shanlin have been lurking here for three days. Because the Beiyang Army's defense is too strict every day, even if there is an opportunity, it can only mix in two or three special combat soldiers at a time, and they can only bring some short guns into it. More than a hundred, or even dozens of special combat troops, have no chance at all.
In three days, only one squadron of the special combat personnel of the two brigades successfully infiltrated Fengtian City, and it can be said that it is far from the goal. At this rate, in less than a month, the special combat personnel of the two brigades will not have the opportunity to enter the city at all.
"Detachment leader, there is still no chance." The captain of the 1st Brigade, who was also the chief of staff of the detachment, replied helplessly after listening to the scout's report.
"Can you create some chances? For example, create chaos in the city, let the defenders of the city wall have a hole in their defenses, and then directly touch into Fengtian City? Zhang Shanlin asked rhetorically with a frown.
The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "It is almost impossible." In addition to the Beiyang Army of the two towns transferred from Guannei, there is also a new army that has just been expanded from the three towns, with a total strength of more than 50,000 people. Even if something happens in the city, the troops in the city can deal with it. As for the patrols on the city walls, they do not have to move at all and will not move. ”
Just when the two of them had no clue, a squadron leader in the outer realm hurriedly came over and reported,
"Detachment leader, Commander Wang of the First Army sent someone to contact us. I know the one who took the lead. He was the commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the 1st Army. ”
"I asked, Battalion Commander Wang brought a total of more than 1,000 people to cooperate with our actions, all of them are scouts of the First Army, and our special operations detachment has selected and eliminated the members!"
Zhang Shanlin, who was frowning, had not yet reacted, and the eyes of the chief of staff next to him had already lit up.
With a look of anticipation, he said: "Camp Commander Wang, they have been stationed here for nearly a year, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as a snake. Detachment leader, maybe they have a way to bring us into Mukden City. ”
Zhang Shanlin also reacted and replied with anticipation: "It's really possible, Camp Commander Wang, they must know a lot of things that we don't know." As long as they can bring us into Fengtian City, I will have a way to cooperate with the First Army to take Fengtian City as soon as possible.
