"Persimmon picks up soft pinch! Fighting the Russian army first is indeed the best choice! Chief of Staff Sun Liechen affirmed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But as soon as he finished speaking, Sun Liechen continued: "The 50,000 Japanese troops equipped with a large number of heavy artillery in the direction of the Japanese army are not muddy. With Li Zhilong's strength, he will definitely not be able to stop it for too long? ”

"Don't wait until we defeat the Russian army, the elite of 50,000 Japanese troops have already rushed to the headquarters, swept through Anshan, Liaozhong and several counties in Liaozhong, and destroyed our foothold in Liaozhong."

After thinking about it, Yang Xingguo affirmed: "Li Zhilong also needs reinforcements on either side!" ”

Li Zhilong said in the battle report that he planned to drag the Japanese army by clearing the wilderness with strong walls, destroying the road, and blocking along the way. But after all, Li Zhilong's defense area is only a few dozen miles, and there are not many troops. It would already be good to be able to hold off the Japanese army for three or four days. ”

"And in three or four days, we simply can't defeat the Russian army. Therefore, Li Zhilong's side also needs reinforcements. No matter what method is used, Li Zhilong will hold the Japanese army for at least five days. ”

"Reinforcements?" Sun Liechen shook his head and said.

"I have already introduced the situation in the base area. Except for Zhao Zhigang's department, which can still draw a regiment, there are no troops that can be withdrawn. Even if we let this regiment reinforce Li Zhilong, it won't have much effect. “

Yang Xingguo's eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light, and he affirmed loudly: "No, we still have reinforcements!" ”

"Chief of Staff, how is the situation of the three Russian regiments that you asked you to reorganize some time ago?"

After thinking about it, Sun Liechen replied: "The officers above the company level of the three regiments are all our own people, and there is no problem in terms of loyalty. What's more, after one or two months of running-in training, the combat effectiveness is no problem, compared with the original, only strong and not weak! ”

"Is the commander planning to send them to reinforce Li Zhilong? Yes, yes, but there is a problem we must guard against! ”

"A captive is a captive after all, and in general fighting, for the sake of silver, under the constraints of military discipline, it may be possible to persist in fighting. In the event of a tragic battle, I am afraid that they will collapse directly, or even surrender on the battlefield and be taken prisoner by the Japanese! ”

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "No, I asked them to reinforce Li Zhilong, and the battle is secondary." ”

"The Japanese and Russian armies attacked us together, although I don't know what caused it. But it is certain that there will be absolutely no monolith between the Japanese and Russian armies. ”

"An army of 50,000 is not much, but it is not a lot. Having been there, the Russian army in the process of attacking us, the losses were minimal. But they suffered heavy losses, and the balance of strength between the Japanese and Russian armies on the Liaohe line would be broken. And this is definitely not what the Japanese army wants to see. And vice versa, the same goes for the Russian army! ”

"I understand this truth, but how can we make the Japanese army worry so much that they don't attack us with all their might?" Sun Liechen asked expectantly.

"It's up to these three Russian regiments!"

"If the Japanese know about it, there are a large number of Russian troops in our camp to help. And the Japanese army didn't know that the Russian troops of these three regiments were actually our own Liaodong Army! Chief of Staff, you say, what would the chief of staff of the Japanese army, who commanded the battle, think? “

"Conspiracy, a huge conspiracy in which we cooperate with the Russian army and consume their forces in large quantities! I've been there and I'm the Chief of Staff of the Russian Army, I must think so! Sun Liechen replied thoughtfully.

"And then? With this inference, what else would the chief of staff of the Japanese army do? Yang Xingguo sneered and continued to ask.

"Order the troops to stop the attack, and immediately send someone to contact the Russian army and ask what is going on?" Sun Liechen continued to answer.

At this time, the sneer on Yang Xingguo's face was gone, replaced by a confident smile.

"If that's the case, there's an article to do in between! When the time comes, the Japanese army, which has already had concerns in their hearts, will definitely not continue to attack us desperately! ”

"Li Zhilong is a smart man, I will write a letter, you let the three Russian regiments bring him by the way, and in addition, let a special operations squadron active in Anshan cooperate with him. I'm sure he'll be able to manipulate it, and maybe even better than we expected. ”

"I took the two regiments of Zhou Qiangsheng's headquarters and the guard division to set off immediately to reinforce Liaoyang, and the heavy artillery division followed up."

"There are also 3,000 cavalry divisions, almost all of them are training from the beginning of their formation to the present, and we almost forgot about this elite. You immediately send someone to contact them, bring weapons and ammunition to quickly reinforce Liaoyang. Although 3,000 men did not play a big role, at some times the role of cavalry far exceeded that of infantry. ”

Anshan County, since the Liaodong Army took here, the entire county seat is an empty city.

For more than a year, although many people have moved in, after the mobilization of the garrison regiment, all the few people have gone out of the city to take refuge. In the small county town of Anshan, except for the Liaodong Army, there is no one in sight.

As the night began to cover Anshan County, Li Zhilong also climbed the gate tower of the county seat, constantly looking at the official road in the direction of the battlefield.

Finally, a unit with torches appeared.

What made Li Zhilong both happy and worried was that this fire dragon composed of torches was only three or four hundred meters at full duty.

Soon, this unit came into everyone's field of vision.

The procession stretched several hundred meters long, except for a platoon in the front and rear with weapons for guard, and the remaining soldiers, except for rifles on their backs, each two people carried a pair of stretchers, and at a glance, there were at least two hundred pairs.

More than one regiment, more than 3,000 elites, only this few people remained, including at least 200 seriously wounded, which shows how fierce the battle was after he left during the day.

Looking at the remnants of the soldiers outside the city who were getting closer and closer, Li Zhilong ordered loudly: "What are you still doing!" Garrison regiment, go out of the city immediately and welcome the warriors into the city! ”

Soon, Xiao Bing, who was hit by a bullet in his arm, stood in front of Li Zhilong.

"Division commander, the mission is accomplished. But the troops ...... The two mountain artillery battalions were completely annihilated, and the second regiment fought with less than 500 people! Xiao Bing reported with a painful face.

After patting Xiao Bing on the shoulder, Li Zhilong comforted: "Now is not the time to suffer, don't worry, we will definitely avenge the brothers who died in the battle!" ”

"I'll talk about the battle during the day, you tell me about the Japanese army first!"

Xiao Bing's face quickly returned to a serious expression, and he reported to Li Zhilong: "Maybe it's because I'm afraid of the scheme, after dark, the Japanese attack stopped. When we retreated, the Japanese did not notice it, and there was no sign of sending troops to pursue it. I left the 2nd Regiment reconnaissance platoon behind, and as soon as the Japanese moved, they would come back and report. “

Li Zhilong's eyes lit up and replied: "Great, see that we have another night of preparation time......

"When we came back, the chief of staff should have seen that we had destroyed more than half of the official road from the battlefield to the county seat thirty or forty miles. With this night, we will be able to destroy it all. When the time comes, I will turn all the 50,000 Japanese elites into sappers! ”

Xiao Bing hurriedly said: "No, division commander, the Japanese army no longer has 50,000 people. ”

"Although we suffered heavy losses during the day, the Japanese army was not much better, especially the two mountain artillery battalions, which could inflict a lot of casualties every time they fired. I estimate that the Japanese killed in battle, plus the seriously wounded, were at least 4,000. ”

Li Zhilong nodded with a satisfied face, and then said with a firm face: "No matter how many Japanese soldiers there are, I will let them enter our defense area and not move an inch." (To be continued.) )
