Whether it is the defensive position of the third regiment, or the defensive position of the next five regiments and six regiments. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

An infantry squadron sent by the devil failed to escape the fate of being wiped out by the Liaodong Army.

After three consecutive infantry squadrons were wiped out, not a single person alive returned.

The chief of staff of the Devil Division, who had been paying attention to every move on the battlefield, finally felt that something was wrong.

During the battle, the counterattack firepower of the Liaodong Army on the mountainside was no longer as dense as it had been at the beginning, becoming more and more sparse and messy.

Not only that, but the Liaodong Army on the mountainside even showed a development trend of getting stronger and stronger, and the gunfire became more and more intensive.

Since the strength of the defenders is getting stronger and stronger, it means that the Liaodong Army on the mountainside has not suffered heavy losses under the attack of one of its own squadrons as he imagined, and its limited strength is constantly consumed by itself.

Not only that, but the infantry squadrons that he constantly sent to the battlefield became the object of consumption of the Liaodong Army.

"Fooled!" Such an idea immediately came to the chief of staff's head.

Immediately, beads of sweat the size of beans began to appear on the forehead of the chief of staff.

Because, in the continuous offensive just now, there were already five infantry squadrons lost in their own hands.

In the face of this astonishing discovery, the chief of staff of the Devil Division did not dare to slack off, and immediately found the division commander who was closing his eyes and waiting for good news, and asked the division commander to put an end to this meaningless attack and change his tactics and tactics.

Nani ...... You said that the whole offensive was a conspiracy of the Liaodong Army, and the Liaodong Army did not lose at all, but it was ourselves who really lost five infantry squadrons in vain! The commander of the devil division was shocked, and asked the chief of staff with an incredulous expression.

Then, as if frightened, the whole person suddenly got up from his seat, picked up a pair of binoculars and walked to the front of the battlefield.

At this time, the subordinates of a squadron were counterattacking by the Liaodong Army. A steady stream of them were knocked to the ground.

In less than five minutes, the officers and men of a squadron were wiped out in the attack.

On the offensive road in front of the position of the Liaodong Army on the mountainside.

The area of 50 to 150 meters was already covered with a thick layer of soldiers' corpses.

In the face of the facts, the high-spirited commander of the devil division still didn't believe what he saw.

The whole person is like an angry lion. He scolded his subordinates loudly: "I don't believe it...... I do not believe that the Liaodong Army has no losses. Chief of Staff, immediately dispatch an infantry brigade to launch an attack on the Liaodong Army, and after the attrition we have just made, the Liaodong Army will definitely not be able to stop the attack of one of our brigades......"

Faced with the division commander, who had already lost his mind a little, the chief of staff was tempted to refuse.

But. When he saw the division commander's eyes full of murderous aura and could almost kill.

The chief of staff could only hold back the words he was about to speak.

However, in order to reduce the losses of the troops as much as possible, the chief of staff played a careful mind when giving the order.

He did not send a complete infantry brigade to send him to death, but integrated the remnants of three infantry brigades that were almost completely wiped out, and made up more than 800 people to launch an attack on the Liaodong Army.

As soon as the devil's attack force changed, Yang Xingguo knew. I don't have the opportunity to continue training.

Although he was disappointed, Yang Xingguo's eyes became hotter and hotter.

Because, in the training that has ended in front of them, more than 1,000 devils have died in the hands of the Liaodong Army.

The six newly formed regiments that participated in the training lost more than 400 people after full battle, including more than 200 wounded and sick who had been treated and could return to the unit at any time.

According to this figure, in order to take down the defensive line that he had arranged on the mountainside, the devil had lost more than 3,000 people, almost all the combat strength of an infantry wing.

To know. And that's just the devil's loss here.

If you count the losses of the devils along the entire offensive road. There are more than 16,000 people in a field infantry division, and at this moment, it has lost two and a half wings of combat strength, about 7,000 people, and more than 1,000 people in one engineering wing.

And in front of you. The devil sent another infantry brigade to attack him.

If he can leave the Devil's infantry brigade on the battlefield, then the remaining combat strength of the Devil's division will be three or four thousand. As for the rest, either artillery without much combat effectiveness, or devil baggage.

And his own Liaodong Army, two veteran corps of 3,000 elites have not yet moved. The combat effectiveness of nearly 5,000 officers and men of the six newly organized regiments has also become stronger and stronger. If you count the regiment with heavy losses, the cavalry regiment that has not moved much. The field artillery regiment, the available strength of the Liaodong Army reached 10,000 people, far exceeding the devils who suffered heavy losses.

In this way, the situation on the battlefield will develop in the direction of its favor step by step.

At that time, as long as he makes a proper layout, it is entirely possible to leave all the remaining five or six thousand people of the second division of the devil on the battlefield.

At this moment, the increasingly fierce gunfire on the battlefield directly pulled Yang Xingguo back to reality.

Seeing that the second regiment had returned to the battlefield again, it had already begun to counterattack the devils.

However, under the fierce attack of a large group of devils, the counterattack effect was not only not good, but he suffered heavy losses.

A very bold idea quickly came to Yang Xingguo's mind.

At the critical juncture, Yang Xingguo didn't care about discussing with Sun Liechen and ordered: "Order the second regiment, after the devils rush into fifty meters, immediately retreat and abandon the position, I want to give the devils the illusion that we are not strong enough to stop them......"

"Also, order the artillery in the back, except for the two mountain artillery companies left, the other mountain artillery will be transferred immediately, we will not fight the devils here, change to a new position......"

"Of the two mountain artillery companies left, the 2nd Regiment opened fire on the original target as soon as it began to retreat. After five rounds of artillery fire, he gave up and began to retreat......"

Under the watchful eye of the commander of the Devil Division, a large group of attacking troops, with a loss of only more than a hundred people, rushed to fifty meters in front of the Liaodong Army formation.

At this moment, the position of the Liaodong Army, which had just been bursting with gunshots, suddenly became messy.

The commander of the Devil Division, who was good at grasping the fighters, immediately stared at the position of the Liaodong Army.

Under his gaze, the Liaodong Army defending the position, like a frightened rabbit, began to retreat and flee for its life in embarrassment.

As soon as this picture entered the field of vision of the commander of Yang Xingguo's devil division, the division commander's concern at the mention of his throat and eyes was put down. Then, with a hot face, he ordered: "The Liaodong Army wants to escape, order the attacking troops, catch up, and destroy them......"

However, as soon as his order was uttered, the screeching of cannonballs across the sky reached his ears.

The commander of the devil division was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought in his heart: "Could it be that this is a conspiracy of the Liaodong Army, otherwise why would the Liaodong Army still open fire......

However, when he saw that the Liaodong Army was fleeing for his life in embarrassment, he did not have the slightest intention of turning back. The division commander immediately vetoed the idea just now.

The chief of staff who looked hesitant beside him continued to order: "This is not an artillery raid by the Liaodong Army, they are trying to cover the retreat of the troops......"

"Field artillery wing, immediately counterattack. The attacking troops did not stop, and continued to pursue the fleeing Liaodong Army and destroy them. (To be continued.) )
