Li Jun was not wrong, when the seven or eight hundred Japanese troops rushed to 100 meters in front of the formation, the heavy machine guns that provided fire cover behind were all silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Jun's eyes lit up, and he decisively gave the order to shoot.

How could the Japanese army, which was only equipped with some light machine guns and completely exposed in front of the Liaodong Army, be the opponent of two thousand elites of the three regiments.

As soon as dozens of light and heavy machine guns fired, the Japanese troops who rushed forward with a roar were swept to the ground in pieces.

Although the remaining Japanese troops continued to rush forward with a desperate posture, no matter how hard they tried, their flesh and blood were meaningless in the face of bullets.

The Japanese army, which did not want to die, would be smashed into a hornet's nest full of blood holes as long as it collided with a dense network of fire fired by dozens of light and heavy machine guns.

Seeing that the new attacking forces on both sides were also fiercely counterattacked by the defenders, they suffered heavy losses.

No matter how much the brigade commander knew the importance of the heavy artillery brigade, he also realized that it was almost impossible for the brigade to break through the defenders' defense line and enter the heavy artillery position of the Liaodong Army with only one brigade.

Thinking of this, the aggrieved brigade commander couldn't help but scolded loudly: "Baga, the Liaodong Army has at least arranged a division of troops in front of us, and there is a steady stream of artillery support!" We, a brigade, can't break through the other side's direction at all! ”

At this time, the appearance of one of the four infantry brigades attacking on the battlefield remained.

The huge losses had already made them lose the courage to continue the attack, so the remnants of this brigade did not continue to rush forward, but lay on the ground to shoot at the Liaodong army.

But even so, under the suppression and strafing of the intensive fire of the Liaodong Army, people lying on the ground were still hit by bullets.

Hearing that there was already a hint of retreat in the brigade commander's scolding, the chief of staff hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, you can't attack anymore!" This is nothing short of a massacre, and no matter how many of us we have, they will kill them all! ”

"Let's get the warriors down! It's not that we don't work hard, it's that we're not opponents. The deployment of so many troops in front of us is obviously a conspiracy of the Liaodong Army, a big conspiracy to weaken our strength. ”

Of course, there were other reasons that prompted the brigade commander to give the order to retreat.

The heavy artillery division of the Liaodong Army had stopped firing on the heavy artillery brigade for several minutes, but there was still no sound of counterattack from the heavy artillery brigade station.

There is no doubt that the heavy artillery brigade that was hit by heavy artillery suffered heavy losses, if not all of them.

In this case, there is no point in continuing the offensive and wasting troops in vain.

Although the brigade commander was very reluctant to admit this result, the facts were in front of him, coupled with the fact that people were constantly being hit by bullets and turned into corpses in front of the battle. Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of time, it is already up to the brigade commander to hesitate!

At the same time, the gunfire on the defensive line of the Second Division also stopped.

Looking at the rapidly retreating Japanese army, Li Zhilong ordered expressionlessly: "Each of the three regiments sends a battalion out to clean up the battlefield!" When the heavy artillery division is transferred, we will start retreating! ”

After giving the order, Xiao Bing turned to Li Zhilong and asked, "The division commander is not happy!" ”

"It's not upset! Is it unwilling...... built such a big platform for the Japanese, and it took a full battle to eat an infantry wing and a field artillery wing of the Japanese army, which was too little! ”

Xiao Bing smiled and comforted: "Commander, your heart is too big!" In my opinion, as long as we can eat the artillery wings of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade and three divisions, and save those infantry, we will not be afraid of 50,000 more! When the time comes, we will blow up as many shells as the Japanese come! ”

Li Zhilong thought about it and replied: "You're right, it's me who expects too much!" ”

Li Zhilong didn't realize that not only did he beat the Japanese just now, but Zhou Qiangsheng, the second division next to him, also hit him, and the Japanese he was facing were two brigades.

The results of the two divisions were all combined, and the three divisions of the Japanese army in the Anshan direction lost a total of three artillery wings and two and a half infantry brigades. Nearly 50,000 Japanese troops were elite, and before they set off, they lost nearly 10,000 people, almost 20% of their troops.

More importantly, the Japanese lost almost all of their own artillery.

He didn't expect that the Liaodong Army would use heavy artillery to raid his own Dashanyan, and after receiving the news, he was shocked for half a minute before he reacted.

Then, there was an incredible expression on Oyama Yan's face.

"Bageya Road, the cunning Liaodong Army, we didn't calculate that the Liaodong Army would attack our heavy artillery brigade with heavy artillery, and prepared such a big trap for our three divisions, so that we lost three artillery wings and nearly three infantry wings in vain!"

The chief of staff on the side also had a solemn face, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

After a full minute, the chief of staff broke the increasingly heavy atmosphere of the command and said: "Commander-in-chief, there is no point in regretting it now, according to the report, the more than 50,000 elites of our army in the direction of Liaoyang have been sharply reduced to 40,000, and the artillery has almost been lost. ”

"As far as the current strength of the three divisions is concerned, although there is still an advantage in troops, the firepower is no longer comparable to the Liaodong Army!"

"I think that we must immediately replenish the artillery of the three divisions, even if there is no heavy artillery, it is okay to replenish some field artillery, otherwise, the three divisions will lose their offensive fangs!"

Dashanyan thought about it and replied: "You're right, judging from our previous experience with the Liaodong Army, without artillery support, the three divisions will definitely not be able to break through the Liaodong Army's interception!" ”

"Not only that, but these three divisions are likely to fall into other traps of the Liaodong Army!"

"According to the report, last night, the Liaodong Army used heavy artillery in the number of no less than two brigades. If our three divisions fall into the encirclement of the Liaodong Army, with these heavy artillery, the Liaodong Army will be able to annihilate us all at a very small price! ”

The chief of staff's face changed, and he continued: "Not only the three divisions in the Anshan direction, but also the three divisions in the Liaoyang direction are also in danger!" “

"The Liaodong Army has heavy artillery with no less than two brigades, while we only have one multi-brigade heavy artillery in the Liaoyang direction, which is just half of the Liaodong Army in number."

"If the Liaodong Army then concentrates all its heavy artillery against our attacking forces in the direction of Liaoyang. We will definitely lose a lot if we are caught off guard! ”

Da Shanyan resolutely ordered with a gloomy face: "Then order the attacking troops in the direction of Liaoyang to get ready!" ”

"What about the three divisions in the Anshan direction?" The chief of staff asked.

After thinking about it, Dashan Yan continued to answer with a gloomy face.

"Stand still and wait for artillery support! Now they have no artillery, and they can only be beaten passively in front of the Liaodong Army. Therefore, the troops must strengthen their vigilance and expand the warning range to 10 kilometers, and the attacking troops in the direction of Liaoyang will be the same outside the range of heavy artillery!
