Chapter 277: The Doomsday Dog Jumps Over the Wall
Soon, the devil's counterattack on the joint stopped. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
More than 2,000 devils, carrying heavy machine guns and ammunition boxes, quickly moved to the southeast of the battlefield.
At the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, Commander Yang Xingguo was still full of confidence in the battle of his six newly formed regiments besieging the two wings of the Devil's Artillery and the Baggage.
Because, in terms of firepower and strength, several new regiments are several times larger than the two wings of the devils.
In this kind of situation, if several new regiments are not able to win against the devils, then the actual combat training of the new regiment for several days in a row will be in vain, and the losses of thousands of officers and men of the new regiment will also be in vain.
Therefore, as soon as the 7th Regiment of the Interspersed Force was in place, Yang Xingguo shifted his attention from the Devil's Artillery Wing and the Baggage Wing to the more than 2,000 infantry elites still left by the Devil's Army.
In Yang Xingguo's view, among the remaining people in the Second Devil Division, there are and only more than 2,000 devil infantry who can be regarded as opponents.
Rabbits will bite when they are forced to be in a hurry, and no one knows what kind of actions these two thousand devils who have been armed to the teeth will make to the Liaodong Army after learning that they have reached a dead end. On the battlefield, in the face of death, what a powerful combat power they will burst out.
As a result, as soon as the devil's front feet began to shift, a staff officer of the command headquarters let out an exclamation.
"Commander...... The devils want artillery, and they plan to break through and retreat to the southeast of the battlefield......"
"No......" Yang Xingguo frowned and subconsciously retorted.
At the same time, under the incomprehensible gaze of his subordinates, he quickly walked to the map and drew the direction of the devil's breakthrough.
As soon as Yang Xingguo dropped the pencil in his hand, Sun Liechen, the chief of staff who came over, his brows also furrowed.
After lying on the map and looking at it for a few seconds, he affirmed very decisively.
"Commander, the southeast of the battlefield is a dead end, and the devil will definitely not be able to leave our five counties in Liaozhong if he breaks through in this direction......"
At this time, a staff officer of the headquarters. couldn't help but ask: "It's not a breakthrough, what is it for?" There are only more than 2,000 devils, so they don't plan to continue fighting us......"
Yang Xingguo, who had been staring at the map with a pair of eyes, quickly focused his eyes on a village on the devil's transfer route.
His brow furrowed. replied in a heavy tone: "In front of the devil, nothing is impossible. ”
"Devils are a bunch of fanatics, and they do everything. After a few days of contact and fighting, you should know something. Among them, the most intuitive manifestation is: So far, we have eliminated so many devils, and we haven't even captured a single prisoner of devils......"
"It can be seen how fanatical and not afraid of death the devil is......"
Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo immediately asked Sun Liechen beside him: "Chief of Staff, do you remember that I discussed with you a few days ago, in the face of the Second Division of the Devils, we either eat it, or keep them out of the five counties of Liaozhong, and we must not let them go deep into the hinterland of the five counties of Liaozhong and return in vain." ”
"Remember...... Commander, you're worried about the devil trying to find a balance. Make up for the losses and transfer the anger against my Liaodong army to the people......" Sun Liechen replied without thinking.
Speaking of this, Sun Liechen was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but ask in a loud voice: "Commander, are you worried that the devil dog will jump off the wall in a hurry......
Then, regardless of the differences and puzzled eyes of others, he lay on the map again and looked seriously.
"It's really possible......" In less than half a minute, Sun Liechen, who was lying on the map, spoke.
Pointing to the map, he said, "Commander, there is one of our villages here, and there are at least two thousand refugees from us. ”
"If the devil really intends to take his anger out on the people. Then the 2,000 people in this village are definitely the first to bear the brunt......"
Yang Xingguo nodded and replied: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if...... Although we don't yet know the specific purpose of the devil's breakthrough to the southeast, we still have to be on guard to change our precautions......"
Seeing Sun Liechen nodding in agreement, Yang Xingguo directly ordered: "Order the cavalry regiment." Set off immediately, harass and slows down the breakthrough speed of the devil......"
"In addition, at least one cavalry company should be drawn and hurried here. I don't care what method they use, at most half an hour, I have to move all the people in the village out......"
After the order is given. Yang Xingguo's furrowed brows did not stretch.
Instead, he looked at the map and continued to think about the specific purpose of the devil's breakthrough to the southeast.
More than two thousand devils, because they carried a large number of heavy machine guns and ammunition, the marching speed was not fast.
As soon as he left the battlefield three or four miles away, the roaring hooves of the cavalry regiment began to sound on the battlefield.
"The cavalry is the cavalry of the Liaodong Army...... The commander of the division, the cavalry regiment of the Liaodong Army has caught up......" The chief of staff who followed the division commander shouted with a shocked face.
The division commander, who was once again hopeful about his future, was shocked by the speed of the Liaodong Army's reaction, but he did not lose his mind.
Facing the chief of staff, he ordered with a serious face: "The heavy machine gun is the nemesis of the cavalry...... Leaving two squads of eight heavy machine guns to block the cavalry regiment of the Liaodong Army, the rest of the troops continued to advance......"
"As soon as we got to the village in front, we won half of the ......"
Soon, the eight heavy machine guns and more than a dozen devils who walked at the end of the line were left behind.
What made the devil feel incomprehensible was that the cavalry who was rushing towards him quickly split into two on the official road before he could shoot, intending to bypass himself and continue to pursue the main force of the division that had retreated to a hundred meters away.
After seeing every move of the cavalry regiment of the Liaodong Army, a trace of a very low premonition quickly appeared in the mind of the chief of staff.
He reminded the division commander: "It seems that the purpose of this cavalry is not to attack us......"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cavalry regiment, which had divided into two and returned to the two flanks of the devil, fired a round of bullets.
Because the distance was too far, a round of four or five hundred bullets only eliminated seven or eight devils.
If this loss had been placed a few days ago, the division commander would not have thought about it.
However, this is no longer the case.
In order to rely on the existing strength to fight a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army and defeat the Liaodong Army. In the eyes of the division commander, every one of the more than 2,000 elites under his command is a treasure and cannot afford to lose.
Therefore, the commander of the devil division subconsciously ordered a counterattack against the heavy machine gun in the middle, and used heavy machine gun bullets to force the cavalry to stay away from him.
However, in this way, the march speed of more than 2,000 devils was much slower.
However, in order to bring as many of his precious troops as possible to the destination, the division commander could only make this determination.
The commander of the Devil Division was very fortunate and very lucky.
If it weren't for the Liaodong Army still besieging his baggage wing, with their current marching speed, they might not have reached their destination yet, and they would have been caught up by the Liaodong Army and surrounded here.
There were more than 2,000 elites of devils, and when there were still five or six miles away from the village, a company of more than 50 cavalry had already rushed to the village first.
After promising that the Liaodong Army would compensate them for all possible losses after the war, more than 2,000 people finally evacuated the village with limited rations before the arrival of the devils.
Of course, the more than 2,000 devils who hurried over didn't know all this. (To be continued.) )
