The Japanese suffered such losses that the offensive firepower was imperceptibly weakened to less than 60% of the original amount. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As time continues to go back, the offensive firepower, which is less than sixty percent, is still being weakened.

Such a good opportunity, of course, Zhao Zhigang would not let it go, and immediately ordered the troops to fight back with all their might.

In less than ten minutes, the Japanese attack was defeated.

An infantry wing lost more than two brigades, and the loss of light and heavy machine guns was more than seventy percent.

"Yaga! How did it get like this, such a powerful firepower didn't succeed in breaking through! Looking at his subordinates who were constantly retreating from the battlefield, the chief of staff replied with an incredulous expression.

The face of the division commander next to him was also very ugly, and although he knew that the chief of staff was in a bad mood now, the division commander still asked.

"The rearguard unit reported that the Liaodong Army had broken through Murakami-kun's interception and was on its way. Your Excellency Chief of Staff, do you want to order the troops to continue the offensive and not break through again, we will really be surrounded here by the Liaodong Army. ”

The chief of staff said angrily: "The loss of light and heavy machine guns is so great, what should we use to break through!" “

The division commander was stunned for a moment, and then his solemn face became even more ugly. He replied in a low tone: "The Liaodong Army has Sam, as well as light and heavy machine guns. Our remaining light and heavy machine guns simply can't suppress them! ”

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, then what should we do next!"

The chief of staff first froze for a moment, and then had to lower his head and order: "Order the troops to hold on to the spot, dig trenches immediately, and wait for reinforcements." Also, didn't we bring a wireless telegraph, and immediately sent a telegram to the commander-in-chief asking for help. “

When Yang Xingguo and his follow-up troops caught up with the Japanese army, more than 10,000 Japanese troops had already occupied several hills, and built defensive positions with the hills as the center.

Zhou Qiangsheng, who came with him, immediately said: "Commander, the Japanese army wants to hold on and wait for help!" We'd better keep their fortifications calm and attack before they are repaired, otherwise we will suffer heavy casualties when they are repaired! ”

Zhong Hu, the commander of the heavy artillery division on the side, followed and said: "Commander, there are still three regiments in the heavy artillery division that can fight, I will immediately transfer them over, bombard them with heavy artillery, and bombard their fortifications, I see how they should defend their positions!" ”

Seeing that several subordinates were all eager to try, Yang Xingguo was happy and replied very unexpectedly: "Who told you that I am going to eat these Japanese soldiers now!" ”

"Hold on and wait for help, if you haven't been there, how can the Japanese reinforcements come over!"

Chief of Staff Sun Liechen was stunned for a moment, and then showed a thoughtful expression, and asked Yang Xingguo: "Commander, are you planning to serve the Japanese reinforcements in one pot!" ”

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "Not only reinforcements, but also all the counties around Liaozhong that are occupied by the Japanese army!" ”

"What?" Sun Liechen asked rhetorically in disbelief.

Seeing that Yang Xingguo was confident and didn't joke with himself, a trace of worry immediately appeared on Sun Liechen's face.

reminded Yang Xingguo: "Commander, isn't this appetite too big!" I'm afraid that not only will we not be able to eat, but we will choke! ”

"No, we'll be able to eat it. Because, I started arranging this bureau a few months ago! Yang Xingguo continued to say in a surprising voice.

Sun Liechen immediately thought of the special operations brigade that had disappeared for several months.

Hurriedly asked Yang Xingguo: "Could it be that this is the second task of the special operations detachment that disappeared!" ”

Yang Xingguo no longer concealed it, nodded in affirmation: "It seems that everyone has not forgotten the special operations detachment that has disappeared for so long. After several months of development, the special operations detachment has pulled up nearly 20,000 troops in the rear of the Japanese army by various means. Although the combat effectiveness is not very good, the equipment is still very good! “

"You guys are looking at these counties around us, in order to attack us, the Japanese army has transferred almost all the troops it can draw, except for the material supply base of Fengcheng and a brigade of the Japanese army, the others are all from a squadron to a brigade!"

"As long as the 20,000 people pulled out by the special operations detachment take the initiative to attack, they will definitely be able to take these counties in a very short time."

However, a problem arose: Japanese reinforcements. In order to deal with us, in addition to the 100,000 elites on the front line, the Japanese army also arranged two divisions in the rear to support us. “

"We didn't lead these two divisions to the front line, once these two divisions and regiments set their sights on the special operations detachment, the special operations detachment would suffer heavy losses, and all the counties they took would be spit out.

"Therefore, we must wait for the two divisions supported by the Japanese army to come, so as to quickly eat them, and then drag these two divisions to the battlefield to buy time for the special operations detachment!"

Sun Liechen immediately understood: "As long as the special operations detachment takes the surrounding county towns, especially Fengcheng, the logistics base of the Japanese army." The Japanese army was dragged by us on the battlefield with tens of thousands of people, and they would retreat on their own without us attacking. Otherwise, they will be starved to death by losing their ammunition and supply! ”

Speaking of which, Sun Liechen had accepted the big plan that shocked him.

After thinking about it, he added: "Commander, this layout is too big, and there can't be a little mistake in the middle, and it can't let the Japanese army notice." Therefore, I think that the Japanese army in front of us should still attack, but we must not fight too hard, otherwise they will definitely be suspicious! ”

"Just do what the chief of staff says!" Yang Xingguo decided without thinking about it.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Oyama Iwa, also received a telegram from the chief of staff asking for help.

After seeing the contents of the telegram, Oyama thought that his subordinates had made a mistake. When he confirmed that the telegram was really sent by the chief of staff, the whole person was frozen on the spot, and he did not react for a long time.

Because, the shock brought to him by this news was too great.

There was no contact for only a day or two, and more than half of the 50,000 troops in the direction of Liaoyang were lost, and they were also surrounded by the Liaodong army, and the whole army could be wiped out at any time.

This kind of sudden change can't be accepted immediately by anyone.

However, facts are facts after all, and when he reacted from the shock, he immediately began to think about how to rescue more than 10,000 troops in the direction of Liaoyang.

"Immediately contact the commander of the Noda Division in the direction of Anshan and ask him about the melee on his side. Then call back to the chief of staff and ask about the course of the two-day battle and the strength of the Liaodong Army! After thinking about it, Dashan Yan ordered with a gloomy face.

After the communications staff officer hurriedly left, Oyama immediately walked to the map and began to think about the next layout.

In less than half an hour, two return calls were sent to Dashanyan.

After reading the telegram, although the Liaodong Army was now his biggest enemy, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The Liaodong Army is really powerful, and it has concentrated almost all of its forces to attack our troops all the way, no wonder the chief of staff will suffer such a big loss!" ”

The deputy chief of staff, who came in with the communications staff officer, hurriedly comforted: "Commander-in-chief, I think the current situation is also an opportunity for us, even if more than half of the front-line experimental elite has been lost!" (To be continued.) )
