Chapter 565: Big Trouble

The headquarters of the Manchurian Army, after receiving a report from the front, the commander-in-chief Dashan Yan can be described as furious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The whole person was like an angry lion, and scolded loudly: "Bageya Road, can anyone tell me how many Liaodong Army troops are attacking us this time, and why there are also Liaodong Army troops in the direction of Donggang, and there are also heavy artillery." ”

"What does the intelligence department do, I want to know the latest deployment of the Liaodong Army!"

The chief of staff hurriedly replied: "The intelligence department has repeatedly confirmed that the Liaodong Army has two main divisions, one cavalry division and one heavy artillery division in the Gaizhou direction, and this result has been confirmed by the front-line troops. ”

"It's just that we didn't expect the Liaodong Army to arrange such a big conspiracy to eliminate our heavy artillery brigade. Because the troops lost heavy artillery, the Fourth Army suffered a series of defeats under the counteroffensive of the Liaodong Army. ”

"The front-line troops also reported that the Liaodong Army was also equipped with a new type of artillery, which had a fast rate of fire and great power. Because they were not familiar with this kind of artillery, the field artillery we equipped could not suppress them at all, and many soldiers on the front line died in the shelling of this artillery. ”

"The front-line commander wants us to figure out the performance of this new artillery as soon as possible!"

"As for the direction of Donggang, I have repeatedly confirmed with the intelligence department that there is only one main division of the Liaodong Army there. As for where the heavy artillery came from, the intelligence services are still investigating! ”

Da Shanyan frowned and ordered: "Eight Grid Yalu, then let the intelligence department quickly investigate, and by the way, find out the new artillery equipped by the Liaodong Army." If possible, it is better to capture a gate from the Liaodong army. ”

After the chief of staff quickly passed down the order, he continued to ask Dashanyan: "How can we reply to the telegram sent by Donggang to the Fifth Army asking for help!" ”

After a short silence, Dashan Yan's eyes quickly shot out two murderous auras. frowned and replied: "If there is really only one main division of the Liaodong Army in the direction of Donggang, then there is a solution." ”

"Isn't there still two divisions in the Fifth Army? The telegram ordered them to ignore the reinforcements and immediately send troops to attack the Donggang occupied by the Liaodong Army. Then he fought all the way to Fengcheng, and finally attacked Liaozhong directly from Fengcheng. ”

"Compared with the elimination of the tens of thousands of people we stationed in Gaizhou, for the Liaodong Army, Fengcheng and Liaozhong are more important."

"According to intelligence, the Liaodong Army migrated a large number of immigrants to the Fengcheng area and invested a large amount of silver. If these places are reoccupied by us, then all the investment of the Liaodong Army will be burned. ”

"I'm sure that as long as we attack Donggang, the Liaodong Army that blocked us will return to Donggang. And our reinforcements will be able to seize the opportunity and quickly rush to Gaizhou to repel the attack of the Liaodong Army in the direction of Gaizhou. ”

Speaking of this, Da Shanyan's words suddenly changed, and he continued: "Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, the strength of the Liaodong Army in the direction of Donggang is really only one main division detected by the intelligence department. ”

The chief of staff's eyes lit up and replied: "Commander-in-Chief is wise, I will call back to the Fifth Army immediately!" ”

"As for the real strength of the Liaodong Army in the direction of Donggang, I believe that the Fifth Army will have its own judgment, and in addition, we can let the Fifth Army confirm the specific time and plan of sending troops, and we only provide ideas!"

"I believe that with the familiarity and understanding of the Liaodong Army by the commander of the Fifth Army and several division commanders, as long as they are given enough room to play, they will be able to retreat even if they cannot win the Liaodong Army."

Da Shanyan nodded in agreement and said, "Yo Xi, this idea of yours is very good, just call back to the Fifth Army according to your idea of the chief of staff." ”

As soon as a field artillery brigade of the Japanese army was knocked out, the Japanese army of an entire division became a turtle with a shrunken head.

Li Zhilong, who had been staring at the battlefield, couldn't figure out what the Japanese army was thinking, or what conspiracy was being prepared.

After waiting for more than an hour, seeing that the Japanese army still did not move, Li Zhilong became anxious instead.

According to his own understanding of the Japanese army, since this division has received an order to reinforce Gaizhou. Then this division will definitely do everything possible to rush in the direction of Gaizhou, and will not waste time in this kind of confrontation and waiting.

Since this is the case, and the Japanese army in front of him has not moved, it means that the Japanese army must be brewing some conspiracy.

And in the case of limited troops, if you can't find a way to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, you will keep letting the Japanese army lead the nose to fight. Li Zhilong is sure that no matter how capable he is, he will not be able to complete the task given to him by the commander.

Therefore, the longer the Japanese army was here as a shrunken turtle, the more anxious Li Zhilong became.

Inside the small headquarters, he walked around with a frown, thinking about what the conspiracy that the Japanese army might be brewing?

At this moment, the chief of staff suddenly broke in.

As soon as he saw Li Zhilong, he anxiously reported: "Division commander, the reconnaissance unit monitoring the Japanese garrison reports that the remaining two Japanese divisions and regiments in the garrison are assembling!" ”

Li Zhilong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked, "I don't know the purpose of their assembly. Will they reinforce Gaizhou together or attack us? If it's reinforcement Gaizhou, it's okay to say, if it's an attack on Donggang, then it's troublesome? ”

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "The specifics are not clear, after all, the Japanese army has not yet left the camp." ”

"However, the reconnaissance force judged that these two divisions were planning to attack our Donggang. The Japanese sent a large number of reconnaissance troops in the direction of Donggang, and if it wasn't for Donggang, they wouldn't have had to do this. ”

Li Zhilong's frowning brows deepened, and he said in a heavy tone: "In this case, then we will be in trouble!" ”

"The Japanese army launched an attack in the direction of Donggang, and there were two divisions at once. I'm sure that the Japanese army already knew about the lack of our troops! We must immediately adjust our deployment, otherwise we will not only be unable to hold back their reinforcements, but we will also not be able to keep Donggang. ”

The chief of staff nodded in agreement and asked, "I think the same as you, division commander." However, we only have so many troops, and I haven't figured out how to adjust the deployment for a long time. ”

Li Zhilong frowned and replied: "The key to solving the problem is artillery, as long as we can knock out the Japanese artillery first, with the mortars that the commander just equipped us, plus the mountain artillery and field artillery equipped by our division, we can completely suppress them!" ”

The chief of staff's face did not look much better, and he analyzed Li Zhilong with a worried face: "The words are good, the Japanese army has three field artillery wings, and we only have one heavy artillery regiment, one field artillery regiment, and three mountain artillery battalions, and we don't have much advantage in firepower. And the Japanese are not stupid either, now they must know that we are armed with heavy artillery. In the next battle, they will definitely be very cautious in using artillery. ”

"If you can't help it, you have to find a way!" Li Zhilong said in his non-negotiable tone.

"The Japanese army found our weakness and used it to attack us. I don't believe that tens of thousands of Japanese troops are in front of us, and they will have no weakness. As long as I find their soft underbelly, I can find a way to knock out their artillery. ”

"Weakness?" The chief of staff immediately frowned and fell into deep thought. (To be continued.) )
