Chapter 317: Who's Staying?
The Japanese army fantasized about returning the other with the way of others, and wiped out all the main forces of the Liaodong Army in the eight checkpoints through various breakthroughs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, located in Anshan City, more than a dozen division commanders were all crammed into a small room.
After listening to Sun Liechen's introduction to the battlefield situation and the new enemy situation, everyone had a worried expression on their faces.
Just when the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more depressing, Yang Xingguo said decisively.
"Brothers, I, Yang Xingguo, have always followed two principles when I fight...... First, never play ...... according to the rules"
"Rules are dead, people are alive. The reason why our Liaodong Army was able to win more with less in many battles and continue to grow and develop. Fighting a war that does not follow the norm has played a very big role......"
"The second principle is that no matter who the opponent is and how strong the combat effectiveness is, we must seize the initiative on the battlefield as much as possible......
"As long as we hold the initiative on the battlefield in our own hands, we can have the final say in the war, and we can fight wherever we want...... You can fight as much as you want...... This is also an essential principle that we can often win by surprise......"
"This time, the enemy is very strong, and it is unprecedented......"
"However, I would like to say that as long as we can follow these two principles, we will definitely be able to defeat the heavy attack of the Japanese army by surprise......"
"Chief of Staff, let me tell you about my operational ideas...... Everyone discussed and discussed to see if they could achieve a surprising victory. ”
Chief of Staff Sun Liechen had just introduced half of the map when some division commanders reacted.
As time passed, more and more division commanders began to show fanatical expressions on their faces.
Soon, the commanders of these divisions reached a unified opinion and shouted at Yang Xingguo: "Yes, please, this idea is too good...... When the time comes, more than 30,000 people from the two divisions of the Japanese army will only be able to beat us up behind our ass......"
"When the time comes, we can ambush them at any time......"
As soon as Zhang Hu finished speaking, Zhou Qiangsheng said, "Commander." Grenades are the best weapon for ambushes. ”
"At that time, as long as we have 10,000 grenades, it will ambush a main division of the Japanese army, and we will be able to wipe out all of them in a very short time......"
After this actual combat training. Everyone saw the power of the grenade on the battlefield and fell in love with this powerful and easy-to-use new weapon.
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Qiangsheng finished speaking, it aroused the approval of all division commanders in the conference room.
A unit wants to defeat its opponent on the battlefield. Morale is very important.
Seeing the fanatical expressions on everyone's faces, Yang Xingguo was sure that the commanders of more than a dozen divisions in front of him were full of confidence in this battle that was about to break out.
So, Yang Xingguo no longer hesitated, and directly waved his hand and ordered.
"The first division and the first regiment, the heavy artillery battalion of the heavy artillery regiment stayed in the base area to defeat or destroy all the Japanese ...... who dared to invade our five counties in Liaozhong"
"After the main force left, Li Zhilong, the commander of the first regiment, was responsible for commanding all the remaining troops in the five counties of Liaozhong. If the troops are not enough, you can also transfer the local garrison regiments in the five counties......"
"No surprises. The Japanese army will send one or two wings to attack the five counties in Liaozhong, where our forces are empty. Do you have faith? ”
Li Zhilong did not answer directly without shame, but fell into deep thought with a thoughtful face.
Yang Xingguo didn't speak, just looked at Li Zhilong quietly, waiting for recovery.
In Yang Xingguo's view, among the dozen or so subordinates in front of him, Li Zhilong must be the largest in terms of development potential.
Although I don't know why there is no military talent such as Li Zhilong in later history.
However, with his old man's vision, Yang Xingguo is sure that as long as he is given a big enough platform. Li Zhilong's future will definitely surpass the current three division commanders of the Liaodong Army.
At this time, if Li Zhilong did not dare to take on this task, among the more than a dozen division commanders, there must be no one else who had the ability to use the strength of one regiment against at least one wing of the Japanese army.
did not disappoint Yang Xingguo. A minute later, Li Zhilong, who was silent, answered directly in his own firm voice.
"I'm confident...... However, I have a request, and I hope that the commander will grant you......"
While Yang Xingguo looked satisfied, he asked Li Zhilong, "What are the requirements?" ”
"Three thousand grenades, as long as the commander can give me three thousand grenades. I have the confidence to hold the base......"
"No......" Yang Xingguo replied without thinking about it.
"In the past few days, the arsenal has worked overtime to produce 3,000 pieces, and with what we have left, it will be less than 5,000 ......."
"I'm going to give these 5,000 grenades to the two main divisions of the Japanese army, so that this battle will be much easier to fight......"
Seeing the disappointed expression on Li Zhilong's face, Yang Xingguo changed his tone and continued......
"I can give you a promise, though..."
"The arsenal is still trying to make grenades by all means, from now on, as long as you send another 3,000 grenades to the main force, the rest will be yours ......"
"At the pace of production in the arsenal, three thousand grenades will take three days. You just need to find a way to hold off the Japanese for three days, and you'll have a steady stream of grenades to use......"
Li Zhilong's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied: "Commander Xie, I promise that I will complete the task......
What Yang Xingguo didn't expect was that Li Zhilong, who was sitting back in his seat, was already happy in his heart at this moment.
After a few days of actual combat training, Li Zhilong also received 2,000 grenades.
After seeing the power of the grenades, he specially kept 500 grenades just in case, when everyone used up the grenades.
There are five hundred grenades as a base, plus a heavy artillery battalion under the heavy artillery regiment to support itself.
Li Zhilong was confident that he would be able to keep the Japanese attacking troops out of the base area before a steady stream of grenades arrived.
After seeing Li Zhilong's performance, Yang Xingguo continued to speak: "The other troops are under my personal command. “
"At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, we will set off with great fanfare and attack directly in the direction of Fengcheng......"
Seeing that some subordinates didn't seem to understand his order, Yang Xingguo explained directly.
"Only with great fanfare, the Japanese army will pay attention to us and send heavy troops to reinforce Fengcheng......"
"The reason why I am in such a hurry is because tomorrow night, reinforcements from two divisions of the Japanese army will arrive here."
"We will leave tomorrow morning, and it will take time for the Japanese army to deliver the news, and when the two main divisions of the Japanese army arrive at their headquarters, the news of our attack on Fengcheng will just reach their headquarters......
"In this way, the time is exactly right, and the Japanese army will not have the opportunity to draw heavy troops to attack our base area......"
"Do you get it?"
"Yes, Commander...... Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, we will set off on time with great fanfare......" (To be continued.) )
