Seeing that Li Zhilong stared at the map for two minutes without saying a word, Li Xiaohu, the commander of the guard division, couldn't help but ask: "Commander Li, why do you give orders!" The guard division promises to listen to orders and hit wherever you point. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wu Xin, the commander of the cavalry division, also said with a big grin: "My old Wu also doesn't leave a piece of armor, I don't have a word, where you point to my cavalry division, I will definitely kill the devil without leaving a piece of armor." ”

Zhang Shanlin was not as excited as them, and asked Li Zhilong with a calm face: "Commander Li, how are you going to fight." There are still a little more than 20,000 devils, and in terms of troops, we have more than devils. And we also have mountain artillery and heavy artillery that the devils are not equipped with, even if we swallow them in one gulp! ”

"I want to too!" Li Zhilong first gave Zhang Shanlin an affirmative answer, and then said helplessly.

"But don't forget, there are more than 40,000 devils more than 20 kilometers away from the infantry, there are artillery, baggage soldiers, and a division of infantry!"

Speaking of this, Li Zhilong couldn't help but scold: "**** little devil, I thought there was only one brigade of infantry there, but it turned out to be a division, and the devil hid half of the infantry and deliberately concealed his strength to tempt me to attack." ”

"Fortunately, I didn't have enough troops at that time and didn't fall for it. Otherwise, my Fourth Army would have suffered heavy losses, if not all of it. ”

"There are so many devils staring at their main force, if we can't solve the battle to eliminate their main force quickly, let these more than 40,000 devils reinforce us, then we will suffer from the enemy!"

"So, before deciding to eat more than 20,000 devils, we must think of a foolproof strategy that can block the devil's reinforcements."

Zhang Shanlin frowned and replied: "Whether it is more than 20,000 devil infantry, or more than 40,000 artillery and baggage troops behind, you can't fight hard." If we fight hard, we will definitely lose in the end. ”

Yuan Lei, chief of staff of the Fourth Army next to him, suddenly frowned and said: "There are more than 40,000 devils, there are infantry and artillery, no matter how many troops are sent to block it, they can't stop it." It would be nice if it could be reversed, more than 20,000 devil infantry, with a three-dimensional defense line, only one regiment can block them, and it can also make them lose their troops. ”

Seeing that Li Xiaohu, Wu Xin and others had expressions of disbelief on their faces, Yuan Lei immediately told the battle process of how the third regiment of the 11th Division blocked the attack of a brigade of devils.

At this moment, Li Zhilong's frowning brows suddenly expanded, and his eyes lit up and said, "Haha, there is a way." Chief of Staff, just do what you just said, fight the other way around. We will first fight the devil artillery and baggage troops, and then beat their remaining 20,000 or so infantry. ”

"As long as we place a regiment on the road where the devils must retreat, more than 20,000 devils will not be able to move an inch. In this way, we can concentrate three main divisions, one cavalry division, plus a heavy artillery regiment, and attack the artillery and baggage troops behind the devil's hall with all our might. ”

"A few days ago I was short on my forces and did not dare to provoke their artillery. Now that reinforcements are coming up, be sure to eat them. entered our base area and killed so many of our soldiers and ordinary people, the little devil will have to pay something. ”

As soon as Li Zhilong said, Zhang Shanlin's train of thought was also opened, and after thinking about it, he analyzed: "It is definitely better to hit their artillery first than to beat their infantry, maybe both devils will be eaten by us." Commander Li, I agree to fight like this, just now our minds were fixed, and we were only thinking about how to eliminate more than 20,000 devil infantry and recapture the food, but fortunately, Chief of Staff Yuan reminded us. ”

Of course, the devil artillery is not so easy to fight. After all, there are 40,000 devils there, and nearly 15,000 of them are elite devil infantry. If the troops can't quickly break through the devil's infantry line and kill their artillery positions. The entire attacking force would have been covered by the fire of two or three hundred Japanese guns, and suffered heavy losses.

And this is also the most important reason why Li Zhilong did not dare to sneak attack the devil artillery at that time.

The only thing that made Li Zhilong feel fortunate was that Dashanyan definitely never imagined that he would bypass the infantry with only more than 20,000 people and directly attack the infantry dozens of kilometers away, which had stronger troops and more powerful firepower.

To a certain extent, this will definitely catch the devil off guard.

When Li Zhilong reported the battle plan to Yang Xingguo and began to transfer troops. Oyama Iwa, who had been in a coma for several hours, finally woke up.

But because of his anger, Dashanyan's body was still very weak, and his face was pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

However, Dashanyan has not forgotten his identity as commander-in-chief of the Manchurian Army, nor has he forgotten the current dangerous situation of the Manchurian Army.

Therefore, as soon as he came to his senses, Dashan Yan asked a staff officer next to him: "Where have the troops retreated now, and how far are they from the artillery?" ”

The staff officer hurriedly replied: "Commander-in-chief, the official road back has been destroyed by the Liaodong Army, and you can't take the big car." The Chief of Staff has sent all the sappers and an infantry brigade to the front to build the road. Ten kilometers of official roads can be repaired by tonight at the latest, and ...... then."

"Nani?" Before the staff officer's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Dashan Yan, and then asked with an incredulous expression.

"Didn't I order the chief of staff to retreat at once? Why didn't you leave after so long! ”

In the face of the anger that rekindled Dashan Yan, the staff officer did not dare to answer even if he was bold.

At this time, the chief of staff, who had heard that Oyama was already awake, happened to rush over.

Facing Da Shanyan's fierce gaze at him, the chief of staff hurriedly explained: "Commander-in-chief, I want to bring back all the hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and tens of thousands of livestock looted by the troops. ”

"These grains and supplies are worth more than one million taels of silver, which were exchanged for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. If you can't bring these supplies back, how can you be worthy of the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the battle in the past two days! ”

"You fool!" Da Shanyan scolded with a posture of hating iron but not steel.

"You say, is it important to have one million taels of silver or more than 20,000 elites left in the Manchurian Army. Now we have no superiority in strength in front of the Liaodong Army, and we may be surrounded and annihilated by the Liaodong Army at any time. If we delay here for one more minute, we will be in more danger, don't you know such a simple truth! ”

The chief of staff's face turned pale with a brush, and at this time, he also realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly asked Dashanyan: "Then what should we do now, please give an order from the commander-in-chief." ”

"Take advantage of the fact that the Liaodong Army has not yet been found around, immediately abandon all supplies and retreat, and the sooner you leave here, the better."

At this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent.

Even though the man hadn't come in yet, Oyama Yan's brows were already furrowed, and he had a very bad premonition.

muttered to the chief of staff: "Could it be that the Liaodong Army has already come, in this case we will be in trouble!" ”

Da Shanyan, who had a miserable face, hurriedly denied: "Definitely not, commander-in-chief, don't scare me, if the Liaodong Army really comes, I can't apologize even if I commit suicide!" ”

Seeing the regretful expression that quickly appeared on the chief of staff's face, Dashan Yan first sighed, and then said helplessly: "** Do not leave ten, chief of staff, now is not the time to regret." Even if the Liaodong Army really appeared around us, it would not have completed the encirclement, as long as we were fast enough, there would still be a chance to break through. ”

"Chief of Staff, order the troops to immediately abandon all supplies and prepare for retreat. Guaranteed to leave as soon as the order to retreat is received. (To be continued.) )
