Chapter 735: Blood Debt and Blood Repayment
Just now, the chief of staff said that if you lose so many troops and go back, if you don't have a single result of the battle, you will give an explanation to the military department and the country. As the commander-in-chief www.biquge.info of the Manchurian Army, Dashanyan will definitely be held accountable at home, and it is even possible to send him to a military court.
Not only Dashanyan, but also the chief of staff next to him, and even the division commander and army commander, all have to bear a lot of responsibility.
In this case, if you ask them to give up the results that may be available at any time, to put it more bluntly, they will give up their military future, and no one will be willing.
Therefore, as soon as the division commander finished speaking, his colleagues around him glared at him angrily. If it weren't for the fact that Dashan Yan and the chief of staff were standing here, these colleagues would probably attack them directly.
As for Dashanyan, the best solution in this case is not to speak, and directly ignore the reminders of his subordinates.
A few minutes later, Dashan Yan did not discuss with everyone, and directly ordered: "The order remains unchanged, stop the attack." ”
"There are not many garrisons of the Liaodong Army in Liaodong, as long as we divide our troops, the limited strength of the Liaodong Army will not be able to help us!"
"The main forces, in units of wings and brigades, quickly attacked and plundered food and other supplies. Three days later, they gathered here with their captures, and then retreated to Arthur to end the battle. ”
Of course, the worries and reminders of the field division commander are not unreasonable. Order all the attacking troops not to slaughter ordinary people during the looting, otherwise military law will be engaged! ”
A few hours later, the Japanese began to attack in large groups and wings.
Although Oyama Iwa issued an order not to kill anyone, the bestiality of the Japanese army is not something that can be threatened by a single order.
Besides, the Japanese army ran to the people's homes to grab food, and as long as there was a little bit of bloody Chinese characters, they would desperately stop it for the sake of their families. In this process, the bestiality of the Japanese army was also stimulated.
In less than a day, rumors spread in Liaodong that the Japanese army was massacring ordinary people in the process of grabbing grain.
"Get out, the little devil really has no humanity, he grabs food and grabs food, why kill people, and slaughter unarmed people."
Li Zhilong, who received the news, was like an angry lion and roared loudly.
After finishing, he asked Yuan Lei, the chief of staff next to him, directly: "Has the situation been reported to the headquarters, and has the commander given a specific reply?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the communications staff officer appeared in Li Zhilong's field of vision in a hurry, and then reported loudly: "Army commander, the commander called back: Let us pay for our blood debts, break the devils individually, and let go of our hands and feet." At the same time, we were asked to let the devils snatch back a grain from Liaodong. Even if all the food is burned, it can't fall into the hands of devils. ”
"Also, the special operations detachment and cavalry division directly under the headquarters are already on their way, and they will be here tomorrow morning at the latest!"
"The guard division is also here, it will be a little slower, and it will take a day and a night."
Li Zhilong frowned and replied: "It seems that the commander is also angry." Since the commander told us to let go of our hands and feet, then let's teach the devils who divided the troops a good lesson. ”
Chief of Staff Yuan Lei followed up and agreed: "Commander, give the order to wipe!" Each break, such a good opportunity, we must not let go. ”
"Command!" Li Zhilong ordered with a serious face.
"The rest of the 10th Division replenished two garrison regiments, reduced to two full-fledged main regiments, and immediately replenished all the light and heavy machine guns and mortars lost, plus the military headquarters guard regiment, under the unified command of Xiao Bing, to attack the left flank of the Japanese army's assembly area, and take the initiative to attack the Japanese army that divided the troops."
"Tell Xiao Bing, I will give him two days, no matter how he fights, he must eat at least six infantry brigades of devils. However, it is important to keep the casualties under control. ”
"The 11th Division will supplement two garrison regiments, and the mission of attacking the right flank of the devil's assembly area will remain unchanged."
"The 12th Division attacked the devils who were divided into troops and plundered head-on. The Twelfth Division has not eliminated a single devil so far, so the results of the Twelfth Division must be doubled. Tell Kang Jie that he is still the acting division commander, and if he fights this battle well, he Kang Jie is the veritable division commander of the 12th Division, and I personally went to the headquarters to ask him for a letter of appointment. ”
When the order to plunder was issued, Dashanyan thought that the surrounding Liaodong army might give him a break.
Therefore, he also made a special account that the distance between the brigades of all the attacking troops should not exceed 10 kilometers, so as to ensure that after one of the brigades was attacked, the two surrounding brigades could arrive at the battlefield within two hours.
The idea is good, but the execution is not so thorough.
At the beginning, the devil did follow the order, keeping the raid speed not too fast, and avoiding the distance between him and the surrounding troops too far.
However, as they gained more and more, little by little, fanaticism was replacing their original calmness.
In order to harvest more food and other supplies, the subordinates who were scattered by Dashan Yan are getting out of control little by little, and even a little lonely. Of course, all this is not very clear.
As soon as the ten regiments under Li Zhilong's command arrived at the battlefield, they found that there were fighters everywhere around.
The 10th Division was the main division of the Fourth Army with the greatest losses, and from the moment he received the task of taking the initiative to attack, the division commander Xiao Bing held back his anger, planning to vent all the battles on the devil, and by the way, avenge the subordinates who died in the hands of the devils.
Therefore, as soon as he knew the situation on the battlefield, Xiao Bing set his eyes on the infantry wing that had just looted a village.
Because he left a lot of troops to guard the food and supplies he had looted, an infantry wing plundered all the way to the ambush battlefield prepared for him by Xiao Bing, and there were less than 2,500 people left.
At this time, Xiao Bing decisively thought of a way to encircle the point and send reinforcements, not only to eat the more than 2,000 devils in front of him, but also to eat the two infantry brigades around the infantry wing in one bite.
"Commander Wang, the three regiments are fully equipped with your guard regiment. So, I'll leave this infantry wing to you to clean up. Looking at the guard commander who the commander had transferred to him, Xiao Bing ordered with a serious face.
Under normal circumstances, the guard regiment is stationed around the military headquarters, and unless there is an accident, it is difficult for the guard regiment to encounter such a battle.
Therefore, such a good opportunity to fight is in front of us, and the guard regiment will definitely not let it go.
As soon as Xiao Bing's order was issued, the face of the head of the guard regiment Wang became fanatical, and then he assured loudly: "Please rest assured, Commander Xiao, the guard regiment will definitely not let you down, and it is guaranteed to end the battle within two hours." ”
Xiao Bing nodded and said, "It's one thing to end the battle quickly, and the casualties must also be controlled." I will draw two mortar batteries from each of the two regiments to you. The devils are equipped with a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns, and after the battle starts, the guard regiment must let the devils' mortars and heavy machine guns fire as soon as possible. Without heavy machine guns and mortars, the next battle will be much easier. ”
"By the way, don't forget the grenadiers equipped by the devils, be sure to draw heavy machine guns and keep an eye on them."
As soon as the head of the guard regiment left with a frenzy on his face, Xiao Bing followed and issued an order to send reinforcements to the remaining two regiments in his hand. (To be continued.) )
