For the two mountain artillery battalions, as long as the direction of the artillery and the angle of fire are adjusted, they can open fire at any time and join the battle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, less than two minutes after Huang Zhongxin's order was issued, the two mountain artillery battalions opened fire one after another.

After a tie with the field artillery regiment, the Japanese field artillery wing was suddenly attacked by two mountain artillery battalions, and suffered considerable losses in both strength and equipment.

In addition, the Japanese field artillery wing still had to fire at the field artillery regiment of the first division, and it was impossible to divide more troops in a short period of time to deal with the two mountain artillery battalions that suddenly appeared in the Liaodong Army.

The unwilling Japanese could only watch as mountain artillery shells continued to smash and explode in their positions.

In less than five minutes, two mountain artillery battalions fired at least 700 pieces at the Japanese field artillery position. At this time, there was not much field artillery, but at this time there was not much left, and the field artillery wing also lost its combat effectiveness because of this.

"Baga, we still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, they even hid two mountain artillery battalions that are useless!" As soon as he received the news of the annihilation of the field artillery wing, the captain of the wing, who had just come over, immediately frowned and scolded.

After thinking about it, the chief of staff of the wing analyzed: "The wing commander is happy and angry, we didn't expect that the Liaodong Army still has two mountain artillery battalions!" In addition, the hill where the captain of the well side was trapped had not heard gunfire for a long time. If nothing else, the Wellside United may well have been! ”

"Yaga! Unexpectedly, the Liaodong Army not only has strong infantry combat effectiveness, but also artillery combat effectiveness! After listening to the chief of staff's analysis, the wing commander, who was holding back his anger and dissatisfaction, scolded again.

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded beside the Wing Commander, waking him up from his anger and scolding.

"Captain, the Liaodong Army has launched an attack on us!"

Relying on its own artillery superiority, the Jiangdong Army, which had less than 2,000 men, was all dispatched.

Dozens of machine gunners with light machine guns rushed to the front, firing bullets at the Japanese with machine guns as they pushed forward.

More than 1,000 riflemen followed closely beside the machine gunners with rifles, occasionally firing bullets in the direction of the Japanese troops.

As for the dozens of heavy machine guns, they were carried in groups of four, followed by two co-shooters who carried heavy machine gun bullets on their shoulders, and all of them followed closely behind the infantry, and as long as the comrades in front of them needed it, they could set up the heavy machine guns and shoot in half a minute at most.

"Why didn't their artillery fire!" The wing chief of staff asked rhetorically with a frown.

The wing commander replied without thinking: "It must be that I am afraid of wasting shells!" ”

"We haven't even dug trenches, the Liaodong Army is firing artillery now, we will definitely retreat, it is impossible to watch the soldiers being bombed!"

"If we open artillery after fighting with the Liaodong Army, we can only fight against artillery fire, and we cannot retreat. At that time, a single shell of the Liaodong Army would definitely be able to kill and injure many of our soldiers! ”

The chief of staff replied with a look of agreement: "You must not retreat after the exchange of fire, and if one is not good, the retreat will turn into a big rout." ”

After saying that, the chief of staff's face became gloomy.

He asked the Wing Captain, "Then Wing Captain, what should we do next!" The Liaodong Army is about to rush up! ”

"Retreat!" The co-captain frowned and decisively decided.

"There are no trenches, and there is no artillery support, so I fight against the Liaodong Army like this, that is to let the warriors go to death, I will not do such a loss!"

"The main force retreated one kilometer back to dig trenches, and the first brigade left two squadrons to fight and retreat to cover the main force retreat!"

"The follow-up troops brought over by the division commander can come over with one small matter at most, we just need to find a way to delay them for an hour!"

Soon, the Japanese began to retreat.

After seeing the battlefield situation in his eyes, Huang Zhongxin saw the purpose of the Japanese army at a glance.

Although he wanted to order the artillery to open fire and teach the Japanese a lesson, in the end he endured.

Because the Japanese troops retreated in squadrons, the formation was very scattered. If a shell goes down, the Japanese army will immediately disperse, and there will not be many casualties at all.

After thinking about it, Huang Zhongxin could only order with a helpless face: "Inform the troops, just eat the two squadrons left by the Japanese army, and don't go deep into the pursuit." There are reinforcements behind the Japanese army, so don't fall for their tricks. ”

At this time, Liaoyang City looked no different from the previous two days on the surface, but after entering Liaoyang City, you will find that the closer you are to the headquarters of the first division, the more Liaodong troops will patrol back and forth.

Attentive people will find that most of the patrolling Liaodong Army patrol soldiers are very unfamiliar except for a few from the guard battalion of the first division that everyone is familiar with.

But even so, no one dared to underestimate these strange Liaodong troops.

Whether it is a soldier or an ordinary person, they can feel a very strong murderous aura from these people.

There is no doubt that these people are all from the guard division of the Liaodong Army, and they are also the regiments and battalions of guards in the guard division that specialize in protecting the security of the Liaodong Army, have the strongest combat effectiveness, and are the best equipped.

The appearance of a battalion here, that means that Yang Xingguo, commander of the Liaodong Army, is also here.

After destroying the Japanese heavy artillery brigade in the Anshan direction and inflicting heavy losses on three Japanese divisions, Yang Xingguo turned his attention to the Japanese army in Liaoyang.

The Heavy Artillery Division, the Second Division, the Fifth Division, and the Third Division, which came later, all began to secretly assemble in the direction of Liaoyang.

It was with this preparation that Yang Xingguo and Sun Liechen rushed to Liaoyang as soon as they received Wang Hu's report.

As soon as Yang Xingguo arrived in Liaoyang on the front foot, the reconnaissance platoon commander sent by Huang Zhongxin followed him back to the division headquarters.

As soon as he heard the report, Yang Xingguo knew that he had come to the right place this time.

After thinking about it, he asked Sun Liechen: "Where is the nearest second division!" ”

"It's already outside the city, Commander, you can order them to set off and kill directly to the battlefield!"

"Well, just in time! Inform Zhou Qiangsheng of the Second Division to immediately lead the team to set off and find suitable terrain to repair the blocking position at a position ten kilometers north of Liaoyang City. The position must be strong, and more anti-artillery holes should be repaired to withstand the heavy artillery attacks of the Japanese army. ”

Seeing Sun Liechen nodding in agreement, Yang Xingguo continued to order: "The Fifth Division should also arrive, although it is a recruit division, there should be no problem in repairing the position." Let the Fifth Division also set off, and build another defensive line one kilometer behind the Second Division, the scale is the same, it must be also strong, and it can defend against heavy artillery! “

"The Liaoyang garrison regiment is also setting off now. A third line of defense was built one kilometer behind the defense line of the fifth division, and the specifications were the same as before. ”

"Heavy artillery divisions, with battalions and regiments as units, build secret artillery positions behind the third line of defense. The heavy artillery division must pay attention to vigilance and not let the Japanese army discover the target exposed in advance. You are my killer weapon to defeat the Japanese army, and you must use it at a critical moment. ”

"Cavalry Division, immediately reinforce the first division, two or three regiments. I don't care what method Wu Xin uses, I must drag the Japanese army on the battlefield for at least five hours. During this period, the second and third regiments unconditionally cooperated with the cavalry division! ”

"Since the Japanese army wants to destroy us through field battles, then we will let the Japanese army understand that our Liaodong Army is not afraid of field battles!" (To be continued.) )
