After returning from the front-line position, Wang Sirui, who had been maintaining a high level of tension, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Japanese were not as strong as they imagined, and his Han army did not have a rapid decline in combat effectiveness due to the replenishment of a large number of new soldiers.

Although it is the elite of the Han army that is currently fighting the Japanese on the defensive line, it can be said that the 1st Division is currently the most powerful unit in the entire Han army, and it is also the only unit that has changed less after the expansion, and even those new recruits who have been trained for at least five months are recruits.

Whether it is a new soldier or a veteran, or a ratio between new and old soldiers, the first division represents the most perfect Han army. Moreover, relying on a solid defensive position and powerful machine-gun firepower, such a record should be taken for granted.

But in Wang Sirui's view, it is not as simple as imagined.

The Japanese were able to defeat the Russians a few years ago, and although there was a certain element of luck, the strength of the Japanese army itself could not be ignored.

And because of Japan's small territory and lack of various strategic resources, their soldiers rarely waste ammunition, so this also brought a lot of trouble to the Han army to a certain extent.

It can be said that the current Japanese army, as long as you give him a gap, he will immediately come up and bite hard. And if it weren't for the fact that the Han army was equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, they completely suppressed the firepower of the Japanese army, what would the final result be? Now no one knows.

After all, in terms of training, although it has the training methods of the army of later generations, after all, the training time is still too short, and compared with the Japanese army that has been formed, the combat effectiveness of the Han army at the moment is still relatively weak.

This is also the reason why Wang Sirui insists on rotating troops, he is afraid that one unit will always be in front, because too many casualties will cause too many changes in the mood of the soldiers. In the same way, he must give all his troops the opportunity to adapt to the battlefield as soon as possible.

And rotating the defense and resting for a few hours may not play an obvious role in the growth of the Han soldiers, but at least the effect is still there, after all, the troops who have seen blood and the troops who have not seen blood are completely different things.

Now, Wang Sirui has determined that the Japanese troops that appeared in front of them are the Japanese Fifth Division, which had only come to China last year, and the division commander is still the same Yamaguchi Suchen who is more familiar with China.

"It is reported that the reconnaissance unit has discovered the main force of the Japanese Third Division in Huishan, about forty miles north of Shengjing." A scout quickly ran to the military headquarters and reported to Wang Sirui, who had just returned there.

"It seems that the Japanese are still very aware of the deployment of our troops!" Wang Sirui smiled, as if he had expected this to be the case.

"Army commander, the appearance of the Japanese is very unfavorable to us, we now do not have the extra strength to block the Japanese third division, and with the strength of our two divisions, it is difficult to say whether we can resist the two divisions of the Japanese army, besides, there is a Korean division that does not know where to go." Duan Qirui frowned tightly and put forward his opinion.

In fact, Wu Yang was a little opposed to Wang Sirui's deployment of troops, because in this way, there were enough troops in the south to defend, but there was no way for them to continue to defend on the Shengjing side.

Once the 3rd and 5th main divisions of the Japanese army attacked the Shengjing defense line from the front and north, and then the Korean division was inserted into Liaozhong to attack the 22nd Division deployed there, the Korean division would certainly delay the 22nd Division's northward march and might even attract the 19th Division in Haicheng.

In this case, Wang Sirui only has the 18th Division deployed in Jinzhou left, although yesterday Wang Sirui has ordered the 18th Division to move to Shengjing, but Wang Sirui gave the 18th Division a very confusing order, the 18th Division must arrive in Shengjing after three days.

In other words, if you count today, they will have to resist at least until tomorrow night, before they can wait for reinforcements to arrive.

And two divisions, 41,000 troops (23,000 for one division, 18,000 for the rest). To fight against the two main divisions of the Japanese army, which had nearly 30,000 troops, although they still had an advantage in terms of strength, if the Japanese army attacked desperately, I am afraid that the life of these two divisions would not be too easy.

(I'm sorry, there was a mistake in the previous article, my head is a little dizzy, I just found this problem, it is the second and 20th divisions deployed in the capital, the 1st and 21st divisions that go to Shengjing, the 22nd division in Liaozhong, the 19th division in Panjin, and the 18th division in Jinzhou.) ）

"Don't worry, the Japanese don't dare to come hard, we can't afford to lose, and the Japanese can't afford to lose." Wang Sirui calmly replied, that's right, he is gambling, betting that the Japanese will not dare to break the boat.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Sirui continued to order: "Order, the 1st Division will transfer two regiments, and the 21st Division will transfer one brigade, led by Wu Yang, to the north to defend against the attack of the Japanese 3rd Division. It doesn't matter how many enemies are killed or wounded, you just need to hold the line and drag the 3rd Division to death here. ”

Wang Sirui stretched out his hand and pointed out a place on the map, after Yulinbao, and then continued: "Order the Eighteenth Division, speed up the march, and attack the Japanese Third Division from the flank after lunch tomorrow." This time the Japanese army marched quickly, and did not carry too much heavy firepower, Zhiquan, you led the artillery together with Wu Yang to provide fire support for them in the north. If possible, try to cripple the 3rd Division. ”

"Yes, Commander!" Duan Qirui responded, feeling slightly helpless in his heart.

Commander-in-Chief of Artillery, this title does sound quite scary, but in fact? He does have more than 10,000 people in his hands, nearly 1,000 gunners, although most of them are not qualified gunners, but after this war, this group of gunners will inevitably mature.

However, after a few months of development, Duan Qirui, with the support of Wang Sirui, went everywhere to find artillery, regardless of whether he was advanced or backward, as long as it was a cannon, it could still be used, Duan Qirui did not dislike it, and included it in his own artillery.

It's a pity that Duan Qirui only barely managed to get together a hundred artillery pieces with the original artillery, and in this battle, those large-caliber artillery pieces were not suitable for carrying due to their own reasons, so they only brought those small-caliber ones.

However, in terms of artillery shells, it is very painful, not to mention what kind of live-ammunition training was carried out during training, and the artillery has not fired a single shell until now, and it cannot afford to fight.

But even so, every artillery in Duan Qirui's hands has an average of less than fifty shells, and the total number of shells in Duan Qirui's hands will not exceed one hundred in this battle, and he may even be the commander of the light pole.

Although he was also in a hurry, he also knew that this matter could not be rushed.

And when the battle just began, Wang Sirui did not let the artillery go into battle, which is understandable. But now, letting Duan Qirui take artillery to the north to support Wuyang made Duan Qirui feel a little unhappy in his heart.

Duan Qirui knew very well that in fact, Wang Sirui asked Duan Qirui to go to the north to make up the hole for Wuyang, in case Wuyang made any mistakes, it would be good for Duan Qirui, a veteran, to make remedies in time.

At this moment, Duan Qirui also faintly felt that what his stepmother raised was different from that raised by his mother.

"In addition, order Qin Chunfeng of the 10th Regiment to go to the rear to find the supply route of the Japanese army, give me all the supplies that are stuck in the Japanese army, and ensure that in the course of the battle, the Japanese army cannot get a single bullet supply." Wang Sirui continued.

Originally, Wang Sirui planned to send a regiment out to do this work alone, but he didn't expect Wang Shuqi to send the 10th regiment over, which just happened to allow Wang Sirui to use the mobile strength of an extra regiment.

Under such a deployment, Wang Sirui still didn't believe that he couldn't defeat the Japanese army, a 'little guy' who had just started.

On the frontal battlefield, there were trenches and other fortifications that only arose during the First World War as cover, and a large number of heavy machine guns supplemented the firepower, so the Japanese used the firepower of two heavy machine guns of the division to break through this defensive line? Is that possible?

On the other hand, Wang Sirui gave full play to the essence of guerrilla warfare, and under the front and rear attacks, even if he could not kill one of the Japanese divisions, he could still make these two divisions cripple back.

…………

In the capital, in recent times, the great powers have felt that the capital seems to be a little different from before, although there are still so many soldiers patrolling the streets.

But for a period of time, some of the soldiers were left unarmed, and then a large number of coalition weapons captured by them last year appeared in the hands of these troops.

In the past few days, the consuls of the great powers have noticed that they have captured fewer and fewer Allied weapons, and instead they are brand-new Mauser rifles, although they have not yet been fully reloaded, but hundreds of new rifles are being used every day to replace those old rifles.

Moreover, in the body of this army, it always feels that something is different. Later, after being reminded by those military attachés, these consuls reacted in hindsight, what those soldiers lacked was murderous energy, which was also where they felt different.

In other words, at least half of the troops defending the capital have been replaced. So here comes the question, excavator technology ...... Ahem, so where are the troops who used to defend the capital?

Through various relationships, the foreigners finally got the news that there were no troops near the capital, but someone saw them near Shanhaiguan.

However, before these foreign consuls could figure out the ins and outs of the matter, they received an invitation from Wang Shuqi.

On this day, Wang Shuqi invited the consuls of the eleven countries to the barracks, and after Wang Sirui left the customs, Wang Shuqi entered here and was responsible for the defense and governance of the entire capital instead of Wang Sirui.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have called you here today because I have very unfortunate news to tell you. Originally, we had prepared the first batch of war reparations and planned to pay them to you in the near future, but because Japan unilaterally tore up this contract, regardless of our opposition, and brazenly sent troops to invade Shengjing, we must use practical actions to defend the integrity of the country's territory, so our country will not be able to pay you the first indemnity on time, please forgive me! Seeing that the consuls of various countries had arrived, Wang Shuqi did not talk nonsense, directly stated the reason for the gathering, and clarified their attitude.
