The position defended by an infantry wing, in the eyes of the Japanese army, could block the attack of the Liaodong Army for several hours without fighting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few hours was enough for the Japanese to temporarily pull up several lines of defense behind the position. Therefore, when Liang Yu began to attack the Japanese army, the Japanese army behind the position did not even have a ready-made defensive line that could be used immediately.

From the beginning of the attack to the victory of the entire defense line, Liang Yu only had half an hour to fight.

This was simply not enough time for the Japanese to build a temporary defensive line later.

Therefore, after Liang Yu took the Japanese blocking position, there was no usable defensive line in front of him.

Such a good offensive opportunity, of course Liang Yu will not let it go. So, as soon as he received the information from the reconnaissance platoon, Liang Yu made the decision to continue the attack.

At the beginning of the attack, the Japanese troops who were digging and consuming were being blown up.

No matter how large the Japanese army was encountering them, Liang Yu organized mortars to shell them as soon as he came up. When they were stunned, they immediately ordered the troops to greet them with grenades in front of the Japanese position, and then machine-gun fire and infantry assault to kill the Japanese position that had not yet taken shape.

Liang Yu took twenty mortars, all the way like a bamboo, and kept killing the Japanese division headquarters.

The commander of the Japanese division was furious at his own command.

"Baga, is the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army too strong or our combat effectiveness has declined, and the position defended by a wing was actually broken through by the Liaodong Army in half an hour!" Looking at the staff officer who was speechless in front of him, the division commander who had no place to send fire in his heart was like an angry lion and scolded loudly.

At this time, the chief of staff could only stand up and comfort: "According to the reports of the people below, the key to the Liaodong Army's ability to break through is that they used a new type of artillery. ”

"The field artillery wing analyzed this artillery, which has a fast rate of fire and high accuracy, and is a very powerful infantry suppression weapon. Although I don't know how this kind of artillery has evaded our retaliatory shelling again and again, as long as this kind of artillery provides fire cover for their attacking troops, they can rush directly to the front of the formation thirty or forty meters before launching an attack under the cover of artillery fire. ”

"Also, this Liaodong army has broken through our three defensive lines in a row, and if we can't stop them, our retreat will turn into a big rout. Therefore, we must find a way to stop them immediately, and we can't let them move forward! ”

Hearing this, the division commander's face looked a little better.

With a frown, he ordered: "The artillery disappointed me too much, there is no way to knock out the artillery units of the Liaodong Army, can't they intercept the attacking troops of the Liaodong Army with shells?" ”

"Dispatch two field artillery brigades, concentrate artillery fire, and blow out a barrier in front of our fourth line of defense. If the Liaodong Army still wants to continue to attack, it must be prepared to suffer huge casualties. ”

"After blocking the assault force of the Liaodong Army, the main force immediately retreated. The Liaodong Army was also equipped with heavy artillery, and our two field artillery brigades could not hold out for long. We must take advantage of the time that the field artillery brigade has bought us to widen the pursuit distance between us and the Liaodong Army as much as possible. ”

After the order of the division commander was issued, because the Liaodong Army continuously broke through their defensive line, the Japanese army, which had been demoralized, finally had a backbone.

In particular, after more than 20 field artillery guns of the two field artillery brigades opened fire, one of Liang Yu's battalions was covered with artillery fire, and in the end, less than 100 people survived.

The sudden change made the morale of the Japanese army high, and at the same time, it also made Liang Yu gasp, knowing that the Japanese army was not muddy, as long as he was a little light on the enemy, the other party would bite him in turn.

After the news reached Yang Xingguo's ears, Yang Xingguo did not criticize Liang Yu for underestimating him.

Just frowned and continued to order: "Tell Liang Yu that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." After attacking for so long, it's time to stop and rest. From now on, the cavalry divisions took the lead. ”

"The artillery immediately counterattacked, destroying the exposed field artillery of the Japanese army."

"As soon as the artillery battle was over, the cavalry division attacked, caught up with the retreating Japanese troops, intercepted an infantry brigade from the Japanese rear guard at a time, handed it over to the infantry who followed up to clean up, and then the cavalry continued the pursuit."

"This time, I'm going to cut meat and slowly clean up the behemoth of the Japanese army!"

When the only heavy artillery regiment of the heavy artillery division of the Liaodong Army began to counterattack, the remaining four field artillery brigades of the Japanese army were all moving backwards.

Seeing that the two field artillery brigades left behind the hall slowly stopped moving at the sound of heavy artillery shell explosions, they had no choice but to stare dryly.

After eating the two field artillery brigades behind the Japanese palace in ten minutes, the remaining two regiments of more than 3,000 cavalry in the cavalry division quickly chased after the main force of the Japanese army like a sharp arrow.

Thousands of cavalry rode horses and galloped, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the four words of the battle shaking the ground and shaking the mountains.

When the cavalry division was still two or three miles away from the main force of the Japanese army, the commander of the Japanese division knew through the sound of horses' hooves.

The commander of the Japanese division was not very good, and immediately ordered an infantry brigade with two heavy machine gun squadrons to block the cavalry units of the Liaodong Army on the spot.

Because there was no time to dig trenches and repair positions, nearly 1,000 Japanese troops could only rely on the terrain to block on the spot.

By the time they had finally found suitable terrain and mounted more than 20 heavy machine guns, the cavalry division had already rushed to a stop a mile away from them.

"What about the reconnaissance company, where is Ji Yuanshan, is there a way in front to bypass the Japanese blocking position. These Japanese troops behind the palace are better left to the infantry behind to clean up! After glancing at the Japanese position with a telescope, Wu Xin, the commander of the cavalry division, shouted at the top of his voice.

"There are roads, but they have to detour about two miles more, and a lot of farmland will be destroyed!" Ji Yuanshan, who hurried over, hurriedly replied.

Wu Xin thought about it and replied: "There is no problem with more detours, and you can dare to come back in less than half an hour after two miles." ”

"As for the destruction of farmland, as long as we can destroy these Japanese troops, we will compensate for the damage, and I believe that the commander will agree to me doing this!"

"The second regiment and the first battalion stayed, continue to monitor these Japanese troops, don't let them escape. The others took a detour with me to continue the pursuit of the main Japanese force and set off immediately. ”

Seeing the main cavalry force of the Liaodong Army that quickly left in front of the battle, the Japanese captain who was ordered to stay behind the palace had no choice.

At this time, the captain is very much like retreating with his troops and catching up with the main force.

But the captain knew that as soon as he retreated, the four or five hundred cavalry who stayed to watch him would catch up with him like hungry wolves and destroy him.

Therefore, he can only choose to continue to be here, waiting for the battle to end his life! (To be continued.) )
