Soon, the order of the division commander was handed down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

To the disappointment of the captain of the Shaozo Brigade, the division commander not only did not approve his request to send troops to pursue, but also scolded himself. And strictly ordered himself to continue to march forward with the main force.

There is no doubt that this loss in front of him is not enough to impress the commander of the Devil Division. In the eyes of the division commander, the loss of dozens of people was not comparable in the face of the major event of marching to the headquarters of the Liaodong Army.

In order to kill the headquarters of the Liaodong Army as soon as possible, the main force of the Liaodong Army had to come out and fight a decisive battle with himself. The division commander was already mentally prepared to lose some troops on the way to the march.

However, the head of the Devil Division did not expect it.

Less than twenty minutes after his order was given, the main force of the division had just marched forward when another burst of more intensive gunfire suddenly rang out behind him.

This time, the dense gunfire also only rang out for a dozen seconds before it suddenly stopped.

Soon, a report of the losses was delivered to the ears of the division commander.

In the very short firepower attack just now, his opponent Liaodong Army actually used one battalion of troops at a time.

Although the attack was short-lived, under the fire of six heavy machine guns and hundreds of rifles, 127 Ming warriors were killed on the spot. As for the wounded and incapacitated, it turned out to be a squad.

If the loss of a few dozen people just now can be ignored by the division commander.

The loss of a squadron directly in front of him, no matter how atmospheric the division commander is, cannot be indifferent.

Because, on the frontal battlefield, it may not be so great to destroy a battalion or even a regiment of the Liaodong Army by yourself.

And in front of him, just a sneak attack by the Liaodong Army, and even the shadow of the Liaodong Army was not seen, and the losses were so great.

As the commander of the division, if he still turns a blind eye and does not make any reaction. Then those subordinates under his command must be very dissatisfied with themselves. The morale of the entire division will also be greatly affected by this.

Therefore, after receiving the report of damage, the division commander decided after only a brief hesitation.

"Order the 6th Wing that was attacked. Immediately, a brigade was dispatched, with sufficient ammunition, to pursue the sneak attack troops of the Liaodong Army. Tell Cheng Tian Dazuo that he must destroy this Liaodong army and avenge the warriors who died in battle......"

An infantry brigade of devils followed the trails left by four regiments and one battalion. After breaking away from the main force and starting the pursuit.

The main force of the division did not stop, and under the order of the commander of the outer division, it continued to march forward.

However, what made the leader of the Devil Division feel desperate and angry happened again.

The troops had just walked for almost half an hour, and in the direction of the main force of the division behind them, a very short burst of fire again sounded.

The commander of the Devil Division, who had lost more than 100 people again, could only draw out a brigade again to pursue the Liaodong Army that attacked him.

That's it, just two hours. The division commander sent four brigades of pursuing troops to the surrounding area.

And it was only at this moment that the main forces of the division behind them quieted down and were no longer attacked.

Just when the division commander couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the sneak attack troops sent by the Liaodong Army had all been reduced to the targets of pursuit and encirclement by his four brigades.

The main force of the division, which was constantly marching forward, suddenly stopped.

Soon, the herald sent by the avant-garde brigade ran to the division commander and reported: "Sir, the official road ahead has been completely destroyed by the Liaodong Army...... If it is not repaired, the divisional artillery wing and the baggage wing will not be able to continue to advance......"

"Captain, please ...... Will the forward brigade continue to advance, or will it wait for the sappers to repair the official road before moving forward......"

"Nani?" With a shocked and puzzled face, the commander of the devil division was immediately escorted by the guard squadron. rushed over to the Guards brigade.

Twenty minutes later, the destroyed official road, which was no longer visible as it was, appeared directly in front of the division commander.

Under the watchful eyes of his subordinates, the angry division commander didn't care about his identity. As soon as he put down the binoculars, he scolded.

"Baga, the cunning Liaodong Army. They will use these inferior means to prevent us from marching, and they will have the ability to stand up and fight us here in a decisive battle, and the victory or defeat will be determined in a battle. ”

After scolding, the division commander had to face a choice.

The troops were divided in two, leaving behind heavy weapons and baggage. Only with light infantry, directly to the headquarters of the Liaodong Army.

However, in doing so, the division commander had to face a big problem.

Abandoning heavy weapons means that the entire division will lose its firepower advantage in front of the Liaodong Army.

The division commander did not know whether the officers and men under his command would be able to defeat the Liaodong Army with rifles and heavy machine guns when they lost their heavy firepower superiority.

You must know that according to intelligence, your opponent, the Liaodong Army, is equipped with a lot of artillery.

And until now, this mysterious artillery unit has still not appeared.

As for the second option, it is to wait for the sappers to repair the entire official road before marching forward.

However, according to the extent of the destruction of the official road in front of them, it was impossible for the sappers to complete their task in a few days.

And in this way, it is impossible to achieve the goal of quickly killing the headquarters of the Liaodong Army.

Just when the commander of the devil division looked hesitant and didn't know what decision to make, the chief of staff's words immediately woke him up from his hesitation.

"Division commander, our opponent Liaodong Army is too cunning, this must be a conspiracy on their part."

"If we divide our troops, then the artillery and baggage we leave behind will definitely become the target of the Liaodong Army. Therefore, in order to prevent the main force of the division from suffering further heavy losses, I implore the division commander to refrain from dividing the troops any further. ”

The division commander was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "Yes, our enemy is too cunning, we must not divide our troops and create any opportunities for the enemy......

"It's because I'm too anxious, bent on entering the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, forcing the main force of the Liaodong Army to fight a decisive battle with us, and even ......ignoring the various methods of breaking through the Liaodong Army."

"Order, the engineering wing will immediately start building the road......"

"The main force of the division should camp and rest on the spot...... After the road is repaired, we will continue to march forward......"

The main force of the Japanese division, which had been overwhelming all the way, actually stopped, and this result was obviously unexpected by Yang Xingguo.

"Commander, the devil has not divided his troops, what should we do next?" Chief of Staff Sun Liechen, who was beside him, asked with a frown.

Yang Xingguo thought for a while and replied: "The enemy has changed, and I have changed...... Since the devil is not fooled, he does not divide the army. Then we will also change our tactics and continue to force the devils to divide their troops......"

"What a force!" Sun Liechen nodded thoughtfully and asked.

"See the Devil Sapper Wing?" Yang Xingguo pointed to the more than 1,000 devil sappers on the official road two miles away who had already started to build the road and asked.

Sun Liechen's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Commander, are you trying to attack the Devil Engineer Wing!" ”

"That's right, it's the Devil's Engineer Wing......" Yang Xingguo affirmed.

"Compared with the field troops, the combat effectiveness of this engineer wing is not as good as that of an infantry squadron. As long as we concentrate our firepower and forces and give them a surprise attack. Even if the Devil Engineer Wing is not completely destroyed, it will suffer heavy losses. ”

"I want to see what the devils will do to build roads after losing ......their sapper wings" (To be continued.) )
