"Woooooooooo......oo Boom, boom, boom......, boom," Lieutenant General Noda was delighted, and within a few minutes, the scream of cannonballs across the sky reached his ears. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Subsequently, a violent explosion sounded not far from the front.

Lieutenant General Noda saw with his own eyes that after the shells exploded, the soldiers who were working hard to build the road were blown over on the official road like toys.

"Baga, the Liaodong Army is shelling, why are they fighting now, hide quickly!" Surrounded by guards, Lieutenant General Noda shouted orders to his subordinates as he left the official road.

To Noda's surprise, the shells stopped after only three rounds.

But even so, when Noda returned to the official road, nearly 100 craters still came into his sight.

Of course, the wounded who were screaming around the crater, and the corpses that had been blown up and deformed...... It was all watched by Lieutenant General Noda.

At this time, Noda's face had just regained a little confidence, and it turned pale when he brushed it. Although he didn't speak, judging from his clenched and trembling right hands, Noda's heart was full of anger at the moment.

The chief of staff on the side hurriedly spoke: "Your Excellency, division commander, the harassment and blocking of the Liaodong Army must have begun, and the next road will definitely become more difficult." “

Noda, who had a gloomy face, wanted to nod his head and give a reply, but as soon as the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back by himself.

In a bad mood and without a solution, Noda's mood became low again, and he was even so low that he didn't want to say a word.

The chief of staff had to stand up again and said: "Your Excellency the division commander, I have an idea, but I have to pay a lot of price, I don't know if I can get rid of the encirclement and interception of the Liaodong Army!" ”

Lieutenant General Noda's eyes lit up and said, "Now the price we have paid is big enough, and we don't care about a little more." As long as you can get rid of the surrounding Liaodong Army, there is no problem at all to pay some price! ”

The chief of staff quickly replied: "Hi! My solution is to divide my troops and reinforce the Liaoyang battlefield in multiple ways! ”

"Although we suffered heavy losses in the battle just now, the Liaodong Army also suffered heavy losses. Judging from the corpses they didn't have time to take away, the losses of the Liaodong Army were no less than two thousand five hundred! ”

"Their total strength around us is less than 10,000 men in a division, and it would be nice to have 7,000 in a real combat force. In addition to the losses just now, plus a few days of combat losses. I am sure that the Liaodong Army now has less than 3,000 combat troops. ”

"If we take the brigade as a unit and disperse the troops into six routes to attack and advance towards Liaoyang, the combat force of the Liaodong Army, which is less than 3,000 people, will be divided into three at most and drag down three of our troops!"

"As for their artillery units, although they are very powerful, when dispersed, they can have a very limited effect. In addition, the artillery is difficult to transport, as long as we divide the troops, their artillery will stare at our two-way breakthrough troops to fight! “

Speaking of this, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Noda already understood something.

After a short hesitation, he replied thoughtfully: "You mean to give up two or three brigades, let the remaining three brigades get rid of the Liaodong Army's encirclement and interception, and quickly reinforce the Liaoyang battlefield!" ”

"Hey!" The chief of staff affirmed.

Seeing the hesitant expression on Lieutenant General Noda's face, the chief of staff knew that the loss of two or three brigades at a time was too great for him, so big that after the battle, he could complete the mission and possibly be sent to a military court.

In this case, the chief of staff hurriedly explained: "Division commander, the casualties of the troops in this way are actually not as big as we imagined, and two or three brigades and regiments are all wiped out!" ”

"For the few brigades that were dragged by the Liaodong Army, we can order them to hold out for five hours, disperse in a wing or brigade to break through, and then continue to the direction of Liaoyang and join us in Liaoyang!"

"The strength of the Liaodong Army is limited, as long as they divide their troops to break through, the Liaodong Army can only annihilate one or two of their crying breakout troops at most!"

Lieutenant General Noda thought about it, and it was really like that. His eyes lit up and he asked, "Chief of Staff, you estimate how many people we will lose in the whole operation!" ”

"6,000 to 10,000 people, I can't judge how much!" The chief of staff replied after thinking about it.

Hearing this, Noda breathed a sigh of relief. Then he ordered very decisively: "Then it is decided to divide troops to reinforce the Liaoyang battlefield." ”

As soon as the Japanese army moved, Li Zhilong was dumbfounded.

As judged by the chief of staff of the Japanese army, Li Zhilong did not have many troops in his hands. In the face of the Japanese army divided into six routes, if he also divided his troops into six routes, not only could he not threaten the thousands of Japanese elites on each road, but he might also be surrounded by the Japanese army and suffer heavy losses.

"The strong man broke his wrist, and the Japanese army was really calculating, and counted our troops to death." Li Zhilong said with a helpless face.

The chief of staff nodded in approval: "The Japanese army is divided, and the strong man intends to break his wrist, and our troops are limited, so we can only selectively attack a few Japanese troops." No, with our current strength, we can only attack three of the Japanese troops at most, and as for the remaining three, we will be beyond our reach! Which three ways to attack, you decide, division commander, and you have to be fast! ”

Li Zhilong frowned and immediately decided: "Attack the Japanese army that threatens the commander the most from the three roads!" ”

"The reconnaissance unit has reported that the Japanese artillery strength is limited, and only three brigades are equipped with artillery, so we will attack these three brigades. As for the other three brigades, they are not equipped with artillery, and even if they arrive at the Liaoyang battlefield, they will not be able to threaten the commander! ”

The chief of staff immediately received the order and said: "Okay, I'll go and give the order right away!" ”

Seeing that the chief of staff was in a hurry to give an order, Li Zhilong immediately added: "When you give the order, tell the brothers that since the Japanese army has given us a strong man with a broken wrist and we can't complete the task, then we will eat the three brigades left by the Japanese army." ”

"Mountain artillery battalion, field artillery regiment, heavy artillery regiment, give me all the shells, even if you use shells, I will also kill all the three brigades left by the Japanese army!"

In addition, send cavalry to the front of the Japanese army and report to the commander and chief of staff that the strength of the three brigades of the Japanese army is rapidly reinforcing Liaoyang, and our department has no troops to block the attack, so please make arrangements for the commander and chief of staff as soon as possible! ”

"Finally, report the strength and equipment of the three brigades to the commander and chief of staff."

A regiment against a brigade of the Japanese army is an almost impossible task in terms of strength alone.

After all, thousands of Japanese troops were not muddy.

If you really fight hard, the Liaodong Army with the same strength may not be the opponent of the Japanese army.

However, Li Zhilong still did it, and he was very confident.

There is only one reason for this, and that is artillery, and the Fourth Division has far more artillery and gun caliber than the Japanese army. As long as the Fourth Division is willing, even if it is smashed with artillery shells, it can kill all the Japanese troops. (To be continued.) )
