The commander of the Japanese army, who was worried about the battle on the front line, saw the chief of staff walk in with a solemn face, and a very bad premonition immediately appeared in his mind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Before the army commander could speak, the chief of staff said in a heavy tone: "This is really a conspiracy of the Liaodong Army. Divert our main forces, take down our heavy artillery brigades first, and then launch a counteroffensive against our infantry! ”

"Commander, the Liaodong Army is too cunning. All three divisions of our front line suffered heavy losses under the counterattack of the Liaodong Army. If it weren't for the quick withdrawal, none of the three divisions would have been able to come back.

Under the gaze of the army commander full of shock and incredulity, it took the chief of staff only five minutes to tell all the sufferings and losses of the three divisions.

"Eight Ge Yalu, I didn't expect us to be so careful and still be fooled! In just one day of the war, more than half of the troops were lost, and the artillery was almost completely wiped out. The commander was like an angry lion, and he cursed loudly.

"What about the Liaodong Army, is the Liaodong Army losing a lot?"

"According to the report of the reconnaissance troops, the total strength of the Liaodong Army that surrounded us is still more than 20,000 people, including infantry, cavalry, artillery, and heavy artillery units. Although the number of troops is still inferior to ours, the assault capability is very strong. ”

"Also, the commanders of the three divisions also reported that the Liaodong Army was equipped with a new type of artillery that we had never seen before, with a fast rate of fire and high accuracy. A large part of the reason why they lost so quickly and so much on the front was because they suffered losses from this new type of artillery. ”

"Until now, the three divisions have not found a way to deal with this new type of artillery."

The commander was stunned for a moment, and asked with an incredulous expression: "Isn't the field artillery wing also good?" Cover them with artillery fire with field artillery, can't they destroy them? ”

"It's difficult, the commanders of all three divisions tried, but the results were poor. In addition, this artillery can also shoot shells directly into the trenches, killing and injuring our troops hiding in the trenches. Therefore, in the next battle, even if we have a position to defend, we cannot take it lightly. ”

Hearing this, the commander's first reaction was silence.

But it didn't take long for the commander's eyes to shoot out two fine lights, and then he replied to the chief of staff: "Since you can't deal with the new artillery they are equipped with." Then deal with their infantry! ”

"In the next battle, the Liaodong Army will attack. As long as they attack, they will be exposed to us, and when the time comes, we will concentrate our artillery fire on us, and if we can't destroy their artillery, then we will blow up their infantry. ”

"Also, the Liaodong Army that surrounded us was not without weaknesses. In my opinion, their most fatal weakness is the strength of troops, insufficient troops. As long as we kill and injure them in large numbers, they will definitely take the initiative to withdraw because of the lack of troops, and they will not dare to fight us hard. ”

"Therefore, in the next battle, our combat units did not hold their positions, but used all means to kill and injure a large number of Liaodong Army."

The chief of staff's eyes lit up and replied: "The army commander is wise, according to the intelligence information transmitted from Liaodong by the intelligence agency, the Liaodong Army attacking us in front of us is all the mobile forces that the enemy can draw. As long as we can inflict heavy damage on them, there will be a lot of holes in the defense line of the Liaodong Army on our side, and we will be able to seize the initiative in the war. ”

The army commander nodded and affirmed: "That's what it means, without soldiers, no matter how powerful the new artillery equipped by the Liaodong Army is, it is useless!" ”

Speaking of this, the commander's tone suddenly changed, and he continued: "However, we must also be foolproof. Lushun is very important, and there must be no accidents. We are the barrier to defend Lushun, and we cannot have accidents here. ”

"Compared with the Liaodong Army, our troops are not very sufficient. In order to avoid accidents, immediately report the situation here to the commander-in-chief, and ask the commander-in-chief to send us at least one division of reinforcements from the direction of Donggang! ”

The chief of staff thought about it and replied: "If the elite of a division suddenly appears behind the Liaodong Army, we will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on the Liaodong Army, and it is even possible to destroy them." Commander, I'll go and give orders right away. ”

How the Japanese army was going to fight, Yang Xingguo did not know.

Not long after all the three divisions of the Japanese army returned to their stations, Yang Xingguo, who had returned with the Fifth Division, had already stationed at the temporary headquarters less than a kilometer from the battlefield.

"The Commander, the Guards Division and the Fifth Division are all in place, and the Cavalry Division is responsible for the command guard and acts as a reserve. All artillery except mortars in the whole army was concentrated in the hands of the heavy artillery division, which could provide fire cover for the front-line troops at any time. How to fight next, please give the commander an order! ”

After staring at the map for five minutes, Yang Xingguo raised his head and replied: "The Japanese army is strong, and all of them rely on favorable terrain for defense. Attacking from several directions, we don't have that strength. Therefore, the best way is to concentrate forces and firepower, give the Japanese army an intermediate breakthrough, and kill all the way to the position of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade. ”

Sun Liechen frowned and replied: "In this case, the unit responsible for the breakthrough in the middle is not going to be surrounded by heavy Japanese troops and besieged by a large number of Japanese troops. ”

Yang Xingguo replied unexpectedly: "I want this situation, put it to death and live later." Only in this way can we seize the initiative on the battlefield, destroy the largest number of Japanese troops in the shortest possible time, and finally defeat them. ”

"Otherwise, if we want to defeat the Japanese army, we can only attack slowly on one hill and one position, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. What's more, it's a lot more expensive for us to attack than to defend. ”

Hearing this, Sun Liechen had already agreed with Yang Xingguo's idea.

However, identity is identity, but Sun Liechen is very worried.

In Sun Liechen's view, if one is not good, the troops responsible for the assault may be completely annihilated under the heavy siege of the Japanese army. Even if the whole army is not destroyed, it is certain that the losses will be heavy.

Thinking of this, Sun Liechen immediately asked, "Commander, which unit do you plan to let go?" ”

"The first regiment of the guard division, the guard division is the main division with the strongest combat effectiveness in the whole army except for the special operations detachment, and the first regiment is the main force of the guard division with the strongest combat effectiveness, so let them go. If they can't complete this task, the other main regiments won't be able to complete it. ”

"In addition, draw 20 of the 70 mortars equipped by the whole army to equip a regiment, and draw a squadron from the special operations detachment to them as a gunner."

Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo seemed to think of something, frowned and asked Sun Liechen: "How many mortar shells do we have!" ”

"It's less than five thousand, and the defense and counterattack a few hours ago, the regiment commanders below saw the benefits of mortars, and they bombarded them with mortars as soon as they encountered the battle, and they spent a lot of mortar shells."

Yang Xingguo frowned and replied: "It's too little!" A regiment of guards had to carry at least 4,000 rounds of shells to be enough, and it was enough to save a little! ”

"Contact the deputy commander immediately, and immediately send all the mortar shells that the arsenal has rushed out in the past few days, the sooner the better!"

"Tomorrow morning, the assault team will start attacking, and two regiments will also be arranged on both flanks to launch a feint attack to disrupt the sight of the Japanese army." (To be continued.) )
