Chapter 746: I'm going to capture them
After hearing that the chief of staff was worried, Li Zhilong was very confident and affirmed: "You don't know the commander, the commander is better than me?27?? Adventurous. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info as long as I send a telegram requesting war to attack Lushun, the commander will definitely agree. ”
"As for preparation, Chief of Staff, you don't have to worry about it at all."
"Don't forget, although we have only about 20,000 combat troops in our hands, we still have a special operations detachment, as well as hundreds of artillery pieces and tens of thousands of shells that have just captured the devil."
"As for the Japanese army in Lushun, according to intelligence, the remaining troops are only one division. Even if the Japanese troops we defeated yesterday were able to escape, it would only be about 30,000 men. More importantly, the artillery of the entire Lushun garrison added up to one field artillery wing and one heavy artillery wing, and in terms of artillery fire, we were not our opponents at all. ”
"With the tens of thousands of shells just captured, I can blow up all the 30,000 devils in Arthur City even if I use shells!"
Yuan Lei continued to remind: "But as far as I know, in addition to the infantry, Lushun also has a detachment of the Japanese Navy, and we have all seen the power of naval artillery, which is too big, even the heavy artillery we are equipped with is not an opponent." What should we do if the Japanese wing shells us with naval artillery? ”
Li Zhilong replied very confidently: "This is a fact. But you also don't forget, we have special operations detachments. With such a large wing and more than a dozen ships of all sizes docked at the pier, I believe that Captain Zhang of the special operations detachment should be very interested. ”
After Li Zhilong's telegram to Lushun was sent to Yang Xingguo, just as Li Zhilong deduced, Yang Xingguo only studied the map for less than a minute before analyzing Sun Liechen, who rushed over.
"Li Zhilong's idea is very bold and very feasible. Chief of Staff, what do you think? ”
Sun Liechen frowned and replied: "The key is whether the special operations detachment can solve the devil detachment. As long as the devil's naval artillery threat is contacted, with hundreds of artillery, if Li Zhilong still can't take Lushun, I will directly remove him from the post of commander. ”
Yang Xingguo is still very confident in the special operations detachment he has trained single-handedly.
In particular, after the Liaodong Army set up an infantry regiment composed of Japanese prisoners, two squadrons were specially transferred from the special operations detachment to mix with them, and while learning Japanese, they also learned about the style and habits of the Japanese army in peacetime.
It can be said that now these two squadrons are drawn out separately and replaced with Japanese equipment, and these two hundred special combat personnel can instantly become living Japanese soldiers. Even if a Japanese soldier came to communicate with them, it would be difficult to find clues.
Now these two squadrons have returned, and they are in Liaodong.
Yang Xingguo affirmed that with the existence of these two squadrons, the special operations detachment would definitely get twice the result with half the effort when it took down the Japanese detachment.
Seeing Yang Xingguo's changing face, Sun Liechen, who had already realized something, immediately asked, "Commander, you have decided!" ”
"Hit! Restore Li Zhilong and fight with confidence. Yang Xingguo no longer hesitated and replied very affirmatively.
"Such a good opportunity to take back Lushun, if you let it go, I don't know when you will meet it. As long as the last stronghold of the Japanese army in Liaodong is pulled out, our Liaodong Army will be able to develop in Liaodong with peace of mind for a few years and accumulate strength. ”
After receiving a call back from Yang Xingguo, the 20,000 Liaodong Army began to act.
The first to move was the special operations detachment. Because there were too many Japanese soldiers killed and captured on the battlefield. It didn't take much effort for the 1,000 special combat soldiers to change into Japanese-style equipment, and then turned into more than a dozen scattered infantry squadrons, which fled in the direction of Lushun with the rout.
More than 10,000 Japanese troops were defeated, and there were more than a dozen of them in the establishment alone.
The commander of the Japanese division who stayed in Lushun planned to confirm the identity of the defeated soldiers before letting them into Lushun, after all, it was now in a war period, and any accident could happen.
But as more and more troops returned, the system became more and more chaotic. There were even some of the routs that had gathered together and began to storm the checkpoints. In order to avoid the outbreak of conflict, the division commander could only retreat to the next best thing, first put them in Lushun, and then return to their respective divisional and regimental stations, and temporarily compress them into a dozen independent brigades before making plans.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a thousand special combat soldiers did not take much effort to get into the hinterland of the devils and enter Arthur City.
At this time, two squadrons perfectly familiar with the Japanese army moved.
With their proficiency in Japanese and their understanding of the various habits of the Japanese army, within a day, they became familiar with some devils left behind by the troops who were separated from the squad.
From the mouths of these left-behind troops, Zhang Shanlin immediately figured out the deployment of the Japanese army in Lushun. Of course, the strength of the Japanese garrison Lushun detachment was also clearly felt by Zhang Shanlin.
"Captain Wang, you send the deployment of the Japanese troops and the specific location of the artillery position in Lushun to Commander Li in as much detail as possible. In addition, he told Commander Li that after the offensive began, the special operations detachment would find a way to guide him in the direction of the artillery bombardment. ”
After a telegraph began to sound in a room not far away, Zhang Shanlin immediately shifted his gaze to the dozen or so captains and squadron leaders in front of him, and said in a deep voice.
"The Japanese army docked a total of 19 ships of various sizes at the Port Arthur Military Port. Originally, our task was to destroy these ships, and at least the guns of these warships, so that they did not threaten our attacking forces. ”
Seeing that everyone showed a look of approval, Zhang Shanlin changed his words and continued.
"However, after listening to what the reconnaissance team learned just now, I decided to capture these dozen warships."
Capture and destroy are more than twice as difficult. As soon as Zhang Shanlin finished speaking, a solemn expression appeared on everyone's faces.
However, as a special combat unit, there is no task that cannot be accomplished. The more difficult it is, the more challenging it is for them. Therefore, in the face of the sudden increase in difficulty, none of them questioned or objected.
After seeing the reaction of his subordinates, Zhang Shanlin nodded very appreciatively.
As a member of a special combat unit, especially an officer in a special combat unit, calmness is a necessary condition and quality.
Obviously, these subordinates have met the requirements in this regard.
While satisfied, Zhang Shanlin continued to analyze: "Of course, everyone can rest assured, as the leader of the detachment, I will not be untargeted and put everyone in danger. ”
"If you look at the layout of the Lushun Military Port, all the nineteen warships of the Japanese army are parked at the pier, and the total number of naval officers and men of all the warships is nearly 4,000. It looks like there are a lot of troops, four times as many as ours. ”
"But. Let's not forget the naval identity of these devils, as a navy, they have been pampered for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is not very good. In addition, nearly 4,000 devils, except for less than 500 people scattered on duty on 19 ships, the remaining devils are all stationed in the military port camp, 300 meters away from the dock, which gives us the opportunity to defeat each of them.
