Chapter 338: Guarding Phoenix City

Several cavalrymen from Fengcheng rushed all the way to a position less than five meters outside the headquarters of the Liaodong Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The cavalry who jumped off their horses shouted excitedly at the command before they had time to catch their breath.

"Good news, good news for a division. The 1st Division successfully captured Fengcheng, wiped out more than 5,000 defenders, and captured countless ......"

After reading the battle report given to him by the cavalry, Yang Xingguo smiled directly.

Because this is the third good news I have received in the past two days.

The first good news was received yesterday before dark, the 2nd Division managed to destroy two Japanese cavalry wings and captured numerous pieces.

The second good news was received in the middle of the night yesterday, the 3rd Division successfully wiped out nearly 7,000 Japanese troops in two infantry wings of the Japanese army, and captured countless troops.

Counting the good news now, the opponent he is about to face, the two main divisions of the Japanese army, all the minions he may use have been knocked out by himself.

The main force of the two divisions, although there are still nearly 20,000 people. However, they have become a lone army. As long as there are no accidents, in the next battle, the initiative on the battlefield will be in their own hands, and they will clean up the 20,000 Japanese troops as they want.

At this time, Chief of Staff Sun Liechen also read the battle report and was also very excited.

said directly to Yang Xingguo: "Commander, Wang Hu fought a good battle...... As the attacking side, the total annihilation of more than 5,000 Japanese troops with a loss of less than 2,000 men was simply beyond my expectations. ”

"Taking Fengcheng, plus the two reinforcements sent by the Japanese army have been wiped out by us. In the next battle, we will face much less pressure! ”

Speaking of this, Sun Liechen seemed to think of something?

The face that had been excited just now flashed away, and was overshadowed by the worry that followed. Yang Xingguo reminded: "Commander, according to the report of the special operations detachment, the main forces of the two divisions of the Japanese army are still one day away. And our soldiers have just finished a battle and are very tired, how to deal with the 20,000 Japanese troops next, we have to come up with a plan as soon as possible......"

"There is also Fengcheng, according to Wang Hu's report. The materials, weapons and ammunition hoarded by the Japanese army in Fengcheng can already be described as piled up. With the remaining strength and strength of the first division, it will take at least five days to transport it all...... What should we do with Fengcheng and the materials seized in Fengcheng? This also requires us to come up with a charter. ”

Yang Xingguo thought for a while and asked, "Chief of Staff, what do you think?" ”

"Immediately send a cavalry regiment to slow down the march of 20,000 Japanese troops, and give the main force at least two days......" Sun Liechen replied without thinking.

"The main force of the whole army immediately rushed to Fengcheng to transfer the supplies, weapons and ammunition hoarded by the Japanese army. Two days. You can carry as much as you can. As for those that could not be transported, they were all blown up, and not a single bullet was left for the Japanese. ”

"Two days later, give up Fengcheng. In the mountains around Fengcheng, we led the Japanese to fight guerrillas, consuming their remaining 20,000 people little by little. When the time comes, concentrate the main forces and eliminate them in one fell swoop. ”

Before seeing the battle report sent by Wang Hu, Yang Xingguo thought like Sun Liechen to consume the strength of the Liaodong Army little by little through movement warfare. And then through the war of annihilation, this Japanese army was eliminated in one fell swoop.

However, after reading the battle report sent by Wang Hu, especially the content of the war report about the seizure, Yang Xingguo immediately changed his original mind.

According to the previous idea, as long as there are no accidents, the final victory must be the Liaodong Army.

But the problem is that the process of attrition of the Japanese army through movement warfare is too long, and no one dares to guarantee it. Will there be surprises in the process?

However, when Yang Xingguo saw the seizure in the battle report, this question was immediately put on his mind.

Because, Yang Xingguo suddenly thought of a new idea. If this idea really came true, then he could end the battle in just three days, no, even two days, and wipe out the remaining 20,000 elites of the two divisions of the Japanese army.

So, after a short period of contemplation, Yang Xingguo. directly vetoed: "No, this time I don't plan to fight a sports war with the Japanese army......"

"Fengcheng, which was finally taken, was returned to the Japanese army so easily, and even blew up some materials that we couldn't move, this is not my Yang Xingguo's style......"

"Therefore, I decided to defend Fengcheng, with Fengcheng as the center, and force the Japanese army to fight a decisive battle with us......"

Sun Liechen's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Commander...... You're crazy......"

"More than 20,000 Japanese troops were equipped with two artillery wings and nearly 100 artillery pieces. In addition, the Japanese army still has five infantry wings, so they are exposed to Japanese artillery fire to defend the city, isn't that sending them to death? ”

Yang Xingguo was so surprised that he shook his head again and replied to Sun Liechen: "It's not up to you to send you to death, it's not me who has the final say, it's Zhang Shaozeng who has the final say...... The guards immediately brought in Zhang Shaozeng, the artillery staff officer, and Wu Xin, the commander of the cavalry regiment. ”

Zhang Shaozeng only took half a minute to stand in front of Yang Xingguo with a puzzled face.

Yang Xingguo asked bluntly: "Staff Officer Zhang, the artillery strength of my Liaodong Army, except for Zhong Hu, you should be the one who knows best." Now, we have captured more than two artillery regiments in Fengcheng, with the current artillery strength of the Liaodong Army, is it possible to form two artillery regiments immediately......"

Zhang Shaozeng, who was shocked, thought for half a minute before replying: "If you send a thousand people from the reinforcements, you can form two artillery regiments in one day......

"However, these two artillery regiments will also be able to carry out artillery strikes on targets at close range, as ordered...... Let them engage in combat with enemy artillery, it will take at least half a year to train......"

Yang Xingguo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "If the Japanese army has two artillery wings, I will tell you the location of the artillery positions of the two artillery wings, and then I will give you the equivalent of four regiments of artillery, is it possible for you to destroy it before the Japanese artillery reacts, so that it will lose its combat effectiveness......

"This!" Zhang Shaozeng immediately showed a hesitant expression on his face......

This time, Zhang Shaozeng thought for two minutes before answering: "Commander, if you let the artillery regiment and the field artillery battalions of the three divisions all be transferred, they will all obey my orders and fire at close range at the Japanese artillery positions." I can guarantee that the four artillery regiments will have an eighty percent hit rate without test firing......"

"In addition, I have to choose the artillery position myself, and the highest choice is directly behind the Japanese artillery position."

"This position covers the Japanese artillery position, even if the Japanese artillery calculates our position, it will have to readjust the gun position, and without two minutes, it is absolutely impossible to counterattack us."

"And two minutes was enough for us to fire more than a thousand shells at the Japanese artillery positions. Even if there is only an eighty percent hit, that's a thousand shells......"

"With so many shells, even if they can't inflict a devastating blow on the two artillery wings of the Japanese army, it will severely damage the two artillery wings of the Japanese army, making them basically lose their combat effectiveness, and the remaining strength cannot threaten our ......"

At this time, Yang Xingguo smiled directly.

Without thinking about it, he replied, "You have to answer all your requests, and I will grant you." Now, you immediately draw out all the artillery of the second and third divisions, and then draw out 500 heavy troops from each of the two divisions. After finishing, he immediately set off, rushed to Fengcheng, found Zhong Hu, and formed an artillery regiment with Zhong Hu......"

"Before ten o'clock tonight, the two artillery regiments I want must be all formed......"

"After ten o'clock, take all the artillery and artillery, leave Fengcheng, lurk, and wait for my orders." (To be continued.) )
