Chapter 114: The Decisive Battle (3)

Lao Maozi Guard Company had more than 150 rifles, six light machine guns and hundreds of rifles from the four battalions, and in less than five minutes, hundreds of Lao Maozi soldiers who were completely exposed to the guns were dealt a devastating blow. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the densely packed corpses that fell in front of him.

The faces of many recruits in the fourth battalion turned pale as soon as they were brushed.

However, Zhao Zhigang still did not have any intention of stopping.

Holding the Madsen light machine gun, he transferred the muzzle of the gun to the old Maozi guard company and quickly pulled the trigger.

Gunshots rang out, and a dense stream of bullets flew out of the barrel of the gun immediately after.

In the blink of an eye, casualties began to appear in the position of Lao Maozi's guard company.

The remaining five Madsen light machine guns of the fourth battalion were not idle, and followed closely behind to fire a more dense burst of bullets at the old Maozi guard company.

"Fight back, fight back right away...... Blocking the attack of the Liaodong Army...... "Seeing the continuous casualties of the guard company, Major General Marni, who had a murderous face, directly turned into an angry lion and roared loudly at the guard company.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not change the gap in firepower and strength between the guard company and the fourth battalion.

The guard company, which had more than 150 men, had only held out for 10 minutes before losing a third of its troops.

What's more, the faces of the remaining soldiers of the guard company already showed a hint of panic from the bottom of their hearts because of the increasingly clear defeat on the battlefield.

"Your Excellency, Commander, retreat...... If you don't retreat, the guard company will die here......" The guard company commander pleaded to Marni with a heartache.

"No, our task is to block the pursuit of the Liaodong Army and cover the rest of the retreat to the county seat...... Even if they all die in battle, they can't take a step back......" Major General Malni, who had a murderous face, refused without thinking about it.

"But—" was just as the guard company commander was about to say something.

"Whoosh...... A string of bullets flew in front of him with a slight whistling sound, and suddenly reached his ears.

The face of the guard company commander changed, and he was just about to remind Major General Marni, who was standing beside him.

Major General Malni's chest has been punched with several bloody holes that are constantly bubbling out.

Before the shocked guard company commander could react, Major General Malni's heavy body fell to the ground. As for Major General Marni's eyes, they were full of unwillingness, and he couldn't close them for a long time......"

"The division commander is dead...... The division commander was killed by the enemy......" The guard company commander was still looking at Marni's corpse in a daze, and when he was stunned, a cry full of horror was already sounding beside him.

Subsequently, the remaining 100 people of the guard company all knew that Marni had been killed in battle......

At this time, the deputy company commander of the guard company on the side suddenly reminded: "Company commander...... The division commander is dead, and if he continues to defend it, he will be sent to death. Why don't we retreat immediately and return to Anshan County......"

The company commander, who didn't want to fight anymore for a long time, agreed after only a brief hesitation: "Retreat, take the corpse of the division commander and retreat...... If anyone asks, they will say that the division commander ordered us to retreat before he died in battle......"

The guard company, which still had more than 100 people left, left dozens of corpses again, took Marni with them, and fled into the woods around the battlefield in embarrassment.

At this time, the fight between the three battalions of the Liaodong Army against Lao Maozi's battalion also ended.

With the help of hundreds of Mauser pistols, the Liaodong Army successfully eliminated a battalion of Lao Maozi with only more than 200 casualties.

"Commander, we won...... More than 4,000 old Maozi, and Lao Maozi, who is also equipped with a large number of artillery, was defeated by us......" Looking at the battlefield in front of him that was gradually quieting down, Zhou Zhongju almost couldn't believe his eyes, and said with an incredible expression.

"We did win, but we also suffered heavy losses, which happened to meet the ......sentence of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred," Yang Xingguo was not as relaxed as Zhou Zhongju, and replied in a heavy tone.

"You look at a battalion, before the battle, plus the recruit company, the total strength is more than six hundred...... You see, it's a blessing to have 200 people now......"

"There are also two battalions, three battalions...... It's more than half of the loss. You must know that these three battalions are the only troops in our Liaodong Army that can be used. ”

Although the heavy losses of the Liaodong Army made Yang Xingguo very distressed. However, after all, the Liaodong Army defeated more than 4,000 elites of Lao Maozi.

Therefore, this solemn expression did not last long, and Yang Xingguo's face was covered with a smile again.

Facing Zhou Zhongju beside him, he ordered very decisively: "Order, all battalions and companies will immediately clean up the battlefield and count the casualties......

"Especially the casualties, in an hour, I want to know how many soldiers we still have in the Liaodong Army......"

Zhou Zhongju, who had a certain understanding of Yang Xingguo, immediately realized that Yang Xingguo must be brewing some conspiracy in front of him that he didn't know about.

Sure enough, before he had time to ask about his worries, Yang Xingguo opened his mouth and sneered.

"Lao Maozi died so many people at one time, although he was very relieved, but it was still not enough ......"

"This time, I must dig a piece of fat on Lao Maozi, and let Lao Maozi know that my Liaodong Army is not something they can fight if they want to."

"Before attacking our Liaodong Army, we must be prepared to be retaliated against by our Liaodong Army......"

"Commander, do you want to ......" Zhou Zhongju raised his eyebrows, asking with both worry and expectation.

"...... here" Yang Xingguo, who had a serious face, pointed directly to a county town on the map.

"Commander, you want to fight the county ......" Zhou Zhongju, who was shocked, couldn't help but exclaim.

Yang Xingguo did not hide it, and replied very decisively: "Not only to fight down, but also to occupy his ......"

"The scale of the Liaodong Army has now expanded, and then nesting in the mountains is not only not conducive to further expansion and development in the future, but also not conducive to our Liaodong Army to deal with the fourth or even fifth heavy encirclement and ......suppression of Lao Maozi that Lao Maozi may launch next."

"So, after thinking about it, the only way to fight out can solve all the problems that our Liaodong Army will face in the future......"

Although the confused and incomprehensible expression on Zhou Zhongju's face did not dissipate, now that Yang Xingguo had made a decision, there was no point in continuing to entangle.

But at this moment, another question suddenly appeared in the middle of the week.

"Commander, since it's a county seat, why don't you put the closer county seat of Anshan and fight it, but go to fight here farther away......

Yang Xingguo replied without thinking: "No matter what, Anshan County can't fight ......"

"Don't forget, Anshan County is not only Lao Maozi, but also the imperial court...... More importantly, both the imperial court and Lao Maozi have huge interest in Anshan. Hitting Anshan County, it will cause an uproar just like igniting a powder cartridge......"
