Before dawn the next day, Li Zhilong rushed to the battlefield with the three regiments that had not yet participated in the battle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In yesterday's battle, the Japanese suffered heavy losses and were also tired.

But after a night's rest, the devil's morale was high again.

What made the chief of the Japanese General Staff even happier was that while he was still enjoying breakfast, the front-line reconnaissance unit brought him a surprise.

The defenders' positions that had blocked them for a day yesterday were empty, and there was not a single living person in sight except for a few thousand corpses.

"Yo Xi, it must be that after the Liaodong Army saw the powerful attack power of the Great Japanese Empire, it knew that it was not an opponent, and it collapsed overnight!" The commander of a Japanese division in the command headquarters said proudly.

"Miyamoto-kun, how can you tell if the enemy is fleeing instead of retreating!" The chief of staff's eyes lit up and asked.

Miyamoto-kun replied without thinking: "It's very simple, if the enemy retreats, it is impossible to leave the corpses of the fallen soldiers. ”

The chief of staff smiled and replied very happily: "Yo Xi, it must be so." I have fought with the Liaodong Army, and the Liaodong Army will never leave the corpses of its own people to the enemy unless it is absolutely necessary! ”

"Now that the Liaodong Army has fled from the battlefield, we must also hurry up. Before the other troops of the Liaodong Army reacted, they fought all the way to Anshan and occupied Anshan County. Then take Anshan County as a bridgehead and attack Liaozhong! ”

"Order the troops, and set off in an hour!"

A brigade of Japanese troops, as a striker, was the first to leave the barracks.

However, the troops had barely advanced for more than two miles before they stopped. The reason is simple, there is no road ahead.

The official road with a width of four or five meters is covered with large pits with a depth of more than one meter.

What's more, these pits are filled with water, and after a night of soaking, even if there are no dug roads, they are very muddy, let alone those filled with water.

The group leader tried to send a small team to the front to explore the way. But the team had just walked less than ten meters before they could not go any further.

The muddy road makes their shoes covered in mud, and every step requires a lot of physical strength. And you have to be very vigilant during the walk, otherwise you may slip and fall into puddles all over the place if you are not careful.

The official road has been completely destroyed, and it is fundamentally different. On both sides of the official road are rugged mountains and slopes, and there is no way to march.

Besides, even if people could walk through, the heavy artillery of the artillery wing and the baggage wagons of the baggage wing would not be able to move on.

The angry captain did not dare to hesitate, and immediately reported the situation to the chief of staff one by one, and asked for engineering support.

Soon, the chief of staff rushed to the position where the forward brigade was located with the commanders of three divisions and several engineer wing commanders.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, why is the official road so badly damaged?" As soon as the chief of staff saw the situation on the official road, he scolded loudly.

The division commander on the side immediately frowned and replied: "It must be the Liaodong Army, it is they who have destroyed the official road and slowed down our march." ”

"Of course I know that this is the masterpiece of the Liaodong Army!" The chief of staff replied cheerfully.

"They must be trying to drag us here, the longer the better. Only then will they have time to reposition themselves in front and continue to hold us back. ”

"With our powerful attack power, even if we can break through these blocking positions that the Liaodong Army has just built, the troops will suffer heavy losses, which is not in the interests of the Great Japanese Empire."

"Therefore, we must not allow the enemy's conspiracy to be accomplished and give the enemy any time to prepare."

The division commander next to him immediately understood God and questioned the commander of the engineer wing who came over: "How long will it take for the engineer to repair the official road in front?" ”

"If there is no standing water on the official road, a company of engineers can repair the official road for 300 meters in one hour!" After thinking about it, the commander of the engineer wing replied with a cautious expression.

"But now there is stagnant water, and it has to be drained before it can be repaired. Otherwise, even if the official road is repaired, it will be very muddy and cannot meet the requirements of the troops. In this case, it would take a wing three hours to repair 300 meters of the official road. ”

The division commander who had just spoken was silent: "The speed is too slow, according to what you said, three engineering wings can repair the road for three kilometers in one day, and it will take three days to reach Anshan." At that time, the Liaodong Army must have built several blocking positions in Anshan and stared at us! ”

The commander of another division frowned and proposed: "Infantry, we can send infantry to assist the sappers in building the road." If you are given three infantry wings, how many kilometers can you repair in a day? ”

"It can be done in one day! However, because there are too many people, the troops must be fully rolled out on the official road, and the road must be repaired for three kilometers at a time to ensure speed! The commander of the engineer wing thought about it and replied.

The chief of staff, who knew the importance of time, did not think much about it. After only a short contemplation, he decided.

"Three kilometers is three kilometers, and you immediately organize troops to start building roads. Other troops, rest in place! ”

Soon, the three-kilometer-long official road was densely packed with tens of thousands of Japanese troops.

In order to repair the road as soon as possible, both sappers and ordinary infantrymen piled their weapons aside, and just took the sapper shovels and worked in full swing.

What the chief of staff of the Japanese army did not expect was that on a hill only three or four kilometers away from him, Li Zhilong was staring at him with a telescope.

As soon as the Japanese army moved, Li Jun, the commander of the third regiment, who was also holding a telescope next to him, said excitedly: "Division commander, the Japanese army has begun to build roads, look, should we attack?" ”

"I see that the Japanese army has piled up all their weapons on the side, and there are no even vigilant troops. Launching a surprise attack on them now will surely achieve a lot of results. The strength of a battalion, quickly assaulting the official road, and fighting and leaving, will definitely be able to destroy at least one brigade of the Japanese army at the lowest cost! ”

Looking at Li Jun, who was swearing, Li Zhilong shook his head and replied: "Only to destroy a large group of Japanese soldiers?" Too little! ”

"Such a great opportunity, if you miss it, you won't have it. Since we want to play, let's play a big game. ”

"The 10 companies of the 2nd Regiment were separated by 100 meters from each other and lurked in the forest 50 meters away from the official road. Based on the signal flare I fired, I launched a surprise attack on the official road at the same time, and retreated when I hit it, without giving the Japanese any time to react......"

"When I came, I strengthened the machine guns of the whole division to you, and on average, a company can get at least eight light machine guns."

"A company is responsible for a 100-meter official road, and an average machine gun is responsible for a range of 11 or 2 meters. When the assault came, he stared at the weapons and ammunition gathered by the Japanese army, and did not let a single Japanese soldier get close to these weapons. ”

"Without weapons, no matter how powerful the Japanese army is, I will only be slaughtered."

"After the troops rushed forward twenty meters, the riflemen threw three grenades at me."

"After a few thousand grenades exploded, the battle was almost over."

"In five minutes, each company has only five minutes to rush to the official road, destroy the remnants of the enemy, and clean up the battlefield. After five minutes, the troops must immediately withdraw to the forest and leave the battlefield. ”

Hearing that the division commander had even thought about the battle process, Li Jun admired it and promised loudly: "Please rest assured, the division commander will ensure that the task is completed." Achieve the maximum victory with the least cost! (To be continued.) )
