readx;?“ Army commander, Division Commander Li hopes that the troops can suspend the offensive and fight again after resting for two hours! The operational staff officer took the telegram sent by Li Xiaohu and hurriedly walked up to Li Zhilong to report. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although there is a commander in Dashanyan who is in charge, there are still 10,000 soldiers who stand in the way of Dashanyan. But no one dared to guarantee that the commander would be able to block the mountain, even if he was full of confidence in the commander.

Therefore, Li Zhilong, who quickly read the telegram, refused without thinking about it.

"However, army commander, if you don't stop, the attacking troops who have entered the city will definitely suffer heavy casualties due to exhaustion, as Commander Li said. Don't forget that no matter what kind of battle is fought, the commander's primary concern is the casualties of the troops. Although the commander said on the telegram that he would take Dalian at all costs, the casualties must be controlled. The deputy chief of staff, who temporarily served as Li Zhilong's deputy, reminded him in time.

Li Zhilong's brows quickly furrowed into a big Sichuan character, but it didn't take long for his face to become serious, and he ordered to the deputy chief of staff: "Then replace the attacking troops in the city." ”

"Division Commander Li also has a regiment in his hands, and the military headquarters also has a guard regiment, which is exactly six battalions of troops."

"Deputy Chief of Staff, immediately tell Division Commander Li what I think, and the reinforcements will enter Dalian City in an hour to listen to his command. In addition, I told Master Li that we only have two days to take Dalian City, and asked him to hurry up. ”

In order to allow the troops who were replaced to adapt to the new style of street fighting as soon as possible, each battalion that was replaced left a platoon on the battlefield to guide the troops who had just gone up to fight.

As the new troops joined the battlefield, the Liaodong Army's slowed down assault speed immediately became much faster.

Facing the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer, the commander of the Matsuda Division in the war room of the Manchurian Army was under great pressure and very conflicted in his heart.

In the face of the powerful offensive of the Liaodong Army, a question was directly in front of him and needed to be decided.

Hearing the gunfire getting closer and closer, and Matsuda walked frowning and did not speak, the chief of staff had to remind: "The commander-in-chief must still be on the way to reinforcements, otherwise he will not send a telegram." It will take three hours at most for the Liaodong Army to reach our headquarters, and we must retreat, otherwise we will definitely not be able to hold out to the commander-in-chief's reinforcements. ”

The abandonment of the General Headquarters is definitely a living slap in the face for the entire Manchurian Army.

But in order to survive and hold the city of Dalian, Matsuda could only order the headquarters to move in the direction of the military port with a heavy face and temporarily abandon the headquarters.

Lieutenant General Matsuda's retreat meant that the guard division wanted to destroy the command system of the Japanese Dalian garrison, and it would attack at least one kilometer forward.

In the ambush battlefield dozens of kilometers away, in less than three hours, a trench that could be used for Tibetans was dug.

After more than 10,000 people of the four regiments were all squatting in the trenches and doing a good job of concealment, the avant-garde troops of a brigade of the Japanese army entered Yang Xingguo's field of vision.

Seeing the devil in the telescope with a completely tired expression, he took a mechanical step forward and hurried forward. A sneer quickly appeared on Yang Xingguo's face, and then he said to himself: "As expected, the little devil forgot to maintain his physical strength to deal with emergencies in order to hurry. ”

"Since more than 20,000 devils are in such a hurry to come and die, then we will fulfill them."

Facing the confidence and arrogance on Yang Xingguo's face, everyone around him realized that a big battle was not far away.

Sure enough, before Yuan Lei could speak, Yang Xingguo began to give orders. ”

"Artillery, when you see the attack signal, you will open fire on the official road, and give the devil a five-round rapid fire first. After it is over, according to the latest shelling coordinates provided by the front-line artillery liaison, the shelling will continue, and the artillery will be fired specifically at the devil's assembly area. ”

"Infantry, when the attack comes, take out all the light and heavy machine guns and mortars in stock, shoot the most fierce fire at the devil at the first time, and then stare at the devil's grenadier and light and heavy machine guns, and never let the devil shoot with heavy firepower."

"Listen up, we have more than 300 artillery pieces of various calibers, plus the firepower is strong, we will definitely be able to hit the devils hard. Therefore, I want everyone, starting with the attack, to eliminate at least half of the devil soldiers in one minute. ”

"As long as this goal is accomplished, the remaining less than 10,000 devil soldiers will be a piece of fat on our chopping board, we can eat them as we want, and no one can interfere with us."

"Therefore, the key to the battle is the first round of fire strikes against the Japanese army. You are all division commanders and middle- and high-ranking officers in the Liaodong Army, and you must give a good account of your troops. ”

The continuous rush not only exhausted the physical strength of the 20,000 Japanese troops, but also became numb little by little. The commander-in-chief Oyama Iwa, who was riding on a war horse, was also a little unbearable, and his constantly frowning brows told his subordinates that his body couldn't stand it either.

But in order to rush back to Dalian an hour earlier, no matter how much the body couldn't stand it, Dashanyan finally endured it.

The chief of staff next to him was also riding a war horse. At this time, the thighs rubbed against the horse's back for a long time, and the inner sides of the two thighs had already been ground red and unconscious.

Despite this, the chief of staff gritted his teeth and paid attention to the subordinates around him who were hurrying on their legs.

Compared with Dashanyan, who was anxious to rush back to Dalian City, the chief of staff paid more attention to the safety of himself and his 20,000 men.

I watched my subordinates continue to run out of physical strength, and they became numb little by little. The chief of staff affirmed that on the surface there seemed to be 20,000 men, and in terms of combat effectiveness, 20,000 men were at most a little more than an infantry wing.

In this case, if the troops are attacked, the blow will be devastating.

Besides, even if the troops were not attacked, such a tired army would have no effect on Dalian City, and it would become a piece of fat that the Liaodong Army could eat at any time.

The chief of staff, who hesitated for several hours, couldn't help it, and regardless of Dashan Yan's gloomy face, he said all his worries in one go.

If Dashan Yan can't give himself a reasonable explanation, no matter what it is, the chief of staff will find a way to get the troops to stop.

Dashan Yan was very angry at first, after seeing the chief of staff's eyes that did not retreat in the slightest.

The angry face slowly showed a hint of worry.

He didn't know about the chief's worries about the coming of Dashan Rock. It's just that Dalian is too important for the Manchurian Army, no, for the whole of Japan.

Single-mindedly trying to defend Dalian Dashan Rock, he unconsciously ignored these problems.

But worry is worry, and these problems are not without solutions.

"Chief of Staff, I will order the troops to stop and rest for two hours at a distance of ten kilometers from Dalian City, and then directly enter Dalian City, and hold on to the internal and external attacks of the troops to defeat the Liaodong Army's attack."

In this way, the soldiers will maintain a certain combat effectiveness when they arrive in Dalian. Tell everyone that we will rest after two more hours, and let everyone speed up. "To be continued.
