After a short hesitation, the commander of the Russian army made a decision: to transfer two main divisions and two artillery regiments from the front line to destroy the Japanese surprise troops in the shortest possible time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Chief of Staff, we have limited troops, and the transfer of troops from the front line will inevitably cause some gaps in the defensive line. In order to avoid accidents and let the Japanese discover this gap, you must eat this brigade in the shortest possible time. After it was over, it quickly returned to the front line and did not give the Japanese army any chance. The commander said with a serious face.

"Use more than three times the force to besiege this Japanese army, and the Japanese army will tear them to pieces even if they are iron." The chief of staff replied confidently.

"Please rest assured, Commander, I know how important time is to us, and I will hurry up and end the battle."

Although the Japanese troops were transferred under the cover of night, they still did not escape the eyes of the special operations detachment.

Soon, Yang Xingguo, who was more than ten kilometers away, got the news.

After handing the information to Zhou Zhongju, he said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief of the Russian army is also impatient, knowing that his troops are insufficient, he can only compete with the Japanese army for ......time."

Zhou Zhongju thought for a while and asked: "As soon as the Japanese army passed through our defense area, the Russian army began to transfer troops, and they also took advantage of the night to recruit troops. Does the Russian army want to end the fighting tonight? ”

"Affirmatively......" Yang Xingguo affirmed decisively.

"The front line suddenly lost two main divisions and 20,000 people, and the Japanese are not fools, they can see it as soon as dawn comes. If these two divisions cannot end the battle before dawn and return to the front line, then the front-line positions of the Russian army will be in danger. ”

Zhou Zhongju suddenly realized and said, "No wonder...... In order to deal with a brigade of the Japanese army, the Russian army transferred two main divisions and two artillery regiments. ”

"Commander, then you say, will the Russian army's plan come true?"

Yang Xingguo's brows furrowed and replied: "It's hard to deduce ......"

"I have seen this brigade of the Japanese army, not only is it equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, but thousands of soldiers are also veterans of the battlefield. It was very difficult for the Russian army to eat it in a short time, although they also drew two artillery regiments. ”

Zhou Zhongju immediately said with a worried face: "Then the front-line positions of the Russian army are not dangerous......

"I'm worried about this right now?" Yang Xingguo replied with a frown.

"If the Russian army can't end the battle tonight, the front line, which is full of holes, is likely to be broken through by the Japanese army. At that time, the Russian army will fall into a big rout. ”

Zhou Zhongju looked puzzled and said, "What's there to worry about?" Commander, aren't we waiting for a major rout on the side of the Japanese and Russian armies? Only in the event of a rout on one side, will we have a chance to go out and pick up the bargain? ”

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "It's good to wait for the rout, but the time hasn't come yet." ”

"There are still 50,000 or 60,000 people in the Japanese and Russian armies, and we people go to pick up the cheap, and it is very likely that we will not pick up the cheap, and we will cause a commotion and suffer heavy losses. As the old saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and even if there is a major rout between the Japanese and Russian armies, the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. “

"And what time are you waiting for, Commander?" Zhou Zhongju asked subconsciously.

"Another 20,000 Japanese and Russian troops will be our best chance to attack." Yang Xingguo replied with a serious face.

Zhou Zhongju thought for a while and replied: "If there are 20,000 more deaths, there will be 30,000 or 40,000 left in the Japanese and Russian armies, and if we lose another 10,000 people in the rout, then at least in terms of troops, our Liaodong Army is no longer a disadvantage." It was indeed the perfect time for us to strike. ”

However, there were still a few hours to go, and the Russian army's encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army began. If the Russian army can't end the fighting in a short time, we can't do anything about it? You can't just send troops to help them destroy these Japanese troops! ”

Yang Xingguo's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, it is to send troops, why didn't I think of ......?"

Zhou Zhongju looked at Yang Xingguo with an incredulous expression and asked, "Commander, are you really planning to send ......troops?"

"As long as we wipe out all the Japanese troops in a brigade, the Japanese army will not know. As for the Russian army, they won't say it either, unless he wants to break with my Liaodong Army and force our Liaodong Army to attack them. Yang Xingguo, who quickly came up with a solution in his mind, hurriedly explained to Zhou Zhongju.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhou Zhongju to react, he ordered: "The second and third regiments of the guard brigade should immediately replenish ammunition and prepare for the attack......

A few hours later, the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese surprise troops by the Russian army began as scheduled.

The Japanese troops, who had been prepared to be surrounded at any time from the moment they entered the hinterland of the Russian army, except for a brief confusion when they were initially shelled, it did not take long for them to react under the orders of officers at all levels.

Those who seize the high ground seize the high ground, and those who dig trenches dig trenches, directly put on a posture of defending to the death.

The Russian army, which received the order to annihilate the Japanese army in three hours, is also desperate.

Before the shelling stopped, the dense soldiers launched an attack on the Japanese with rifles.

"Bageya Road, the Russian army has begun to attack, counterattack, counterattack immediately......" The officers of the Japanese army at all levels, who did not expect the Russian army to be so desperate, immediately frowned and ordered.

The Japanese soldiers, who were desperately digging the trenches, immediately changed into rifles and lay on the ground in the trenches that had not yet formed to counterattack.

Under the counterattack of more than 200 light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, the attacking Russian troops were swept to the ground in pieces.

However, because there was no complete position, the Russian artillery also brought great casualties to the Japanese army.

An hour later, the Japanese lost almost two thousand men.

In front of them, nearly 2,000 corpses of Russian attacking troops also fell.

Two hours later, the Japanese still had nearly 3,000 men still able to continue fighting. And the Russian army, again lost a regiment.

At this time, as long as there is a little sanity, it is almost impossible to completely annihilate the nearly 3,000 elites of the Japanese army in the remaining hour.

The Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army, who personally commanded this encirclement and annihilation battle, frowned, and ordered with a murderous face: "Attack, continue to attack." The artillery regiment carried out indiscriminate shelling of the Japanese positions and finished all the shells brought......"

The two division commanders also knew the seriousness of the matter, and as soon as the chief of staff gave the order, they took the guards to the front-line positions.

However, after all, the strength of the Japanese army was there, and even if the artillery regiment fired three or four thousand shells in a row, there were still more than 1,000 Japanese troops making the last insistence.

"Chief of Staff, the time has come. We must immediately return to the front line, or the Japanese will find holes in our front line defenses......" A staff officer whispered from the dimly lit headquarters.

"How many troops do you need to leave to trap the remaining Japanese troops here......" the tired chief of staff immediately asked.

The staff officer thought for a while and replied: "Three regiments, the firepower of the Japanese army is too strong, plus the surrounding area of the battlefield can be seen at a glance, and the encirclement can be broken through in all directions, and it must be heavily defended." At least three regiments were needed to ensure that the Japanese army could not break through. ”

"Too much...... "The chief of staff, who frowned, replied without thinking about it.

"We lost at least 6,000 men and left three regiments, and only 5,000 or 6,000 people could return to the front line, which was a drop in the bucket and would not play any role at all." (To be continued.) )
