Regarding Zhou Zhongju's worries, Yang Xingguo did not take it to heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Today's Liaodong Army is not the Liaodong Army of a few months ago.

Not only is the army large and well-equipped, but there are also quite a few heavy weapons.

Even if the Lao Maozi garrison has a city wall to hold, the Liaodong Army can also use mountain artillery to blow a gap in the Lao Maozi defense line and kill into the city.

Therefore, after only a short period of contemplation, Yang Xingguo issued an order to counterattack in advance, attack the county seat, and seize supplies, weapons and ammunition.

In Zunhua County, there was originally only one reinforced battalion.

With the continuous rise of the Liaodong Army, the defenders gradually changed from one reinforced battalion to two battalions.

And now, with a large number of weapons and ammunition began to accumulate in Zunhua County.

The Zunhua garrison was directly turned into four main battalions, under the unified command of a colonel Lao Maozi.

In the past, the colonel commander did not care about 10,000 or even tens of thousands of Chinese troops.

However, since the Liaodong Army defeated the Russian army again and again, and also captured the commander of the Russian major general's division. The regiment commander changed his opinion of the Chinese army, especially the Liaodong Army.

Therefore, since I entered Zunhua County, my nerves have been in a tense state.

Don't dare to relax in the slightest.

However, more than ten days have passed, and according to the order of the Land Defense Command, there are still five days left, and the two main divisions will rush to Zunhua to launch an attack on the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong Army, which was only a few dozen miles away from itself, still did not make any movement, as if it did not know that the Russian army was preparing to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them.

Lao Maozi Zunhua Garrison Headquarters, while eating a hearty breakfast, the colonel asked the staff officer on duty: "Opposite the Liaodong Army, was there any movement last night......

"No movement...... As usual, a truce trenches day and night......"

Speaking of this, the staff officer seemed to think of something, and said with a mocking face: "I also listened to the scout's report, in order to strengthen the position. The Liaodong Army prepared a large number of logs, and even demolished some houses, which made the people of Liaozhong resentful......"

"Hehe, this is really a joke......" The colonel couldn't help but mock.

"The Chinese really don't have much knowledge. The same goes for this Liaodong Army......"

"Reinforcing the trenches with logs can last a little longer under artillery fire, but that's it."

"The Imperial army, which was attacking from the front, was fully equipped with two battalions of mountain artillery, and when the time came, no matter how strong their trenches were. None of them could withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the two mountain artillery battalions. “

Speaking of this, the mocking expression on the regiment commander's face became even stronger, and he asked the staff officer, "Do you know what I want to see the most now?" ”

Seeing that the staff officer shook his head, the regiment commander replied directly: "What I want to see most now is the tragic picture of the Liaodong Army's hard-built position being razed to the ground after being hit by our army's artillery fire, and the embarrassing picture of the Liaodong Army scurrying around in the artillery fire and being unable to form an army. ”

After listening to the regiment commander's words, the staff officer hurriedly complimented: "The regiment commander is right...... When the time comes, we must let this group of local buns of the Liaodong Army taste the taste of being bombed by two artillery battalions together......"

Speaking of which, what does the head of the regiment seem to have in mind? Turning to the staff officer, he asked, "That's right." Will the attacking troops of the two divisions of the headquarters be here in five days......"

"Yes, there are still five days to go...... After five days, the materials hoarded in the county can be handed over to them, and we will be much more relaxed and no longer have to worry about these materials. The staff officer hurriedly replied, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed.

At this time, Yang Xingguo's face also became relaxed, and he said with a sigh of relief to the chief of staff: "It seems that I still have a high opinion of the Liaodong Army." ”

"If I were the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Army, I would definitely not rely on the position to defend to the death."

"The attacking forces are so strong that they are fighting on their ground. It's no different from sending you to death......"

The staff officer followed up and asked, "Then the regiment commander, will you?" ”

"Take the initiative and attack our county...... As long as we destroy the weapons and ammunition we have hoarded in the county town, the encirclement and suppression plan carefully planned by the Land Defense Command will have to be ended early because there is no material supply......"

Speaking of which. A look full of pride quickly appeared on the face of the regiment commander.

Facing the staff officer, he continued: "This is also the reason why as soon as I came to the county seat, I ordered all the defenders to strengthen their vigilance, and sent a large number of scouts to closely monitor every move of the Liaodong Army......

"Now it seems. It seems a bit redundant for me to be so cautious......"

The staff officer hurriedly complimented: "The regiment commander is wise...... Maybe the Liaodong Army didn't dare to attack Zunhua County because of your order to strengthen its vigilance. “

Seeing that the smile on the regiment commander's face was getting stronger and stronger, the staff officer's tone changed, and he continued: "Since the Liaodong Army does not have the courage to attack the county seat, you see, regiment commander, can you let the soldiers relax a little......

"Since the soldiers were stationed in the county seat, they have been patrolling and on duty every day because of the increased vigilance, and they have hardly rested for ten days......

"Also, the main force is almost there."

"When the time comes, we, the garrisons, must act as guards and transporters. If we don't have enough physical strength and energy, I'm afraid that the two division commanders will sue us at the Land Defense Command. ”

After a short period of contemplation, the regimental commander replied: "It's time for the soldiers to rest and rest, otherwise, the soldiers will say that I, the regimental commander, is not close to people......

"However, we should not relax our vigilance at all......"

"There are quite a few scouts, and all of them are sent out to closely monitor every move of the Liaodong Army dozens of miles away."

"Tell the scouts in the city that I'll pay them double pay this month to compensate them."

"The patrol force in the city, you see that the situation has been reduced by half, so that the soldiers can relax and replenish their physical strength and energy......"

"It's still what you just said, after the main force comes, don't let them look down on our garrison......"

The army pursues a word, up and down.

The regiment commander relaxed, and there was still fifty percent of the vigilance. When it came to the battalion company commander below, he had completely relaxed.

As for vigilance, it's nice to have one or two achievements left.

With such a good opportunity, Yang Xingguo, who personally commanded two regiments to attack Zunhua County, of course would not watch the opportunity slip away from him.

As soon as the news reached Yang Xingguo's ears, Zhou Qiangsheng, the commander of the First Regiment, Sun Liechen, the commander of the Fifth Regiment, Wang Lin, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, and Zhang Shaozeng, the commander of the artillery battalion, were called together by Yang Xingguo.

"Brothers, Lao Maozi has heavy machine guns, and they are all veterans. Even if we had artillery and heavy machine guns, a frontal assault would be costly. Therefore, in order to preserve strength, deal with Lao Maozi's main offensive force, the method of frontal assault must not be used. “

Since Yang Xingguo said this, it means that Yang Xingguo already has a specific solution in his heart.

The head of the regiment, Zhou Qiangsheng's eyes lit up, and he asked directly: "Commander, how are you going to fight ......?"

"Since Lao Maozi has relaxed the patrol and vigilance of the county, then we will send some people to sneak into the county seat in advance, and when the time comes, we will attack inside and outside, take the county seat at the lowest cost and in the shortest time, and seize all the materials and ammunition that Lao Maozi has hoarded in the county."
