Chapter 100: Three-dimensional defense
In the face of the commander's abuse, Captain Tanaka did not explain or refute, just looked at the other party quietly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As time passed, Murakami finally compromised.
Of course, compromise is compromise, as an imperial soldier, he still did not forget to shout: "Since this is the case, this time it will be cheaper for this Yang Xingguo...... I can apologize to him and negotiate with him......"
"However, this is all a temporary compromise...... Wait for the Japanese Empire to defeat the Russian army and occupy Liaodong. I will definitely personally lead the army to destroy this so-called Liaodong Army and wash away all the shame I have received here in the Liaodong Army.
In the face of this unexpected situation, Yang Xingguo had to sigh at the extraordinary endurance of the Japanese.
Now that the other party has apologized and put down his posture, there is no need for Yang Xingguo to continue to target the other party.
Under the mediation of Zhou Zhongju and Tanaka, the negotiations between Yang Xingguo and Murakami Shaozo ended very smoothly.
The Liaodong Army could cooperate with the Japanese in attacking Lao Maozi and cooperate with the Japanese.
However, the Japanese had to come up with 50,000 taels of silver, 50,000 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition, and 1,000 rounds of 75-mm mountain artillery shells as payment...... When these rewards were sent to the Liaodong Army, the cooperation between the Liaodong Army and the Japanese began.
At this time, one might ask, could the Japanese have come up with so many things for a group of bandits......
On the surface, the Japanese have come up with a lot of things. But these things are a drop in the bucket compared to the huge benefits they would have to gain from defeating Russia.
More importantly, at this moment, the Japanese do not have much confidence in whether they can defeat the Russian army.
If there is a strong reinforcement of the Liaodong Army hiding behind Lao Maozi and launching a fatal blow to Lao Maozi at any time, then the chances of the Japanese defeating the Russians will increase a lot.
At the end of the negotiations, everyone was happy.
This was originally a very happy thing, but as soon as a few Japanese left, the smile on Yang Xingguo's face was covered with seriousness.
Because, when Tanaka left, perhaps to befriend himself, he directly told himself that Lao Maozi's reinforcements from Lushun were already on the way. In three days at most, the main force of thousands of elite Lao Maozi will be assembled and will attack him......
"Call all the battalion and company commanders to the headquarters immediately, and the battle between us and Lao Maozi is about to start again......"
In the small conference room of the Liaodong Army Headquarters, Yang Xingguo glanced at his subordinates with different expressions, and said with a serious face.
"Brothers, according to intelligence, in three days at the latest, Lao Maozi will launch a new round of attacks on us......"
"This time, Lao Maozi is not only menacing, but also unprecedentedly strong. Therefore, we must be cautious about this battle, defeat Lao Maozi's attack, and use victory to tell all the people of Liaodong that we are worthy of the name of Liaodong Army......"
"According to intelligence, this attack on our Lao Maozi included a total of two field infantry regiments, two heavy machine gun companies, and two artillery companies...... More importantly, the commander-in-chief of Lao Maozi's encirclement and suppression army has changed. Compared with the previous commander-in-chief, this old Maozi has a more cautious personality. ”
"As long as there is no accident, these 4,000 people will definitely attack us steadily. Instead of casually dividing our forces as we did in the previous battles, we will give each of us a chance to break through......"
"Therefore, in the next battle that everyone will face, there will be at least one tough battle with Lao Maozi, as the battalion and company commander, you must be mentally prepared to stabilize the morale of the soldiers and soldiers......
At this time, Wang Hu suddenly stood up and replied confidently: "Commander, the brothers have also fought a lot of tough battles...... You can rest assured......"
As soon as the words were finished, more than a dozen battalion company commanders stood up at the same time as if they had discussed it, and said: "Please give an order from the commander to swear to block Lao Maozi's attack ......."
Yang Xingguo nodded with a satisfied face, and then ordered with a serious face.
"Good...... I ordered: The cavalry company will set off immediately to monitor the every move of Lao Maozi in Anshan County...... Report it immediately......"
"The reconnaissance company is ready for battle, as long as Lao Maozi leaves the city, you will set off...... I want you to use the cover of the terrain to harass Lao Maozi along the way with cold guns and cold cannons. If there is cheap, eat, if there is no cheap, retreat, and be sure to control the casualties. ”
"The other troops, under my personal command, rushed to Longgangling in two hours to build fortifications......"
"Since Lao Maozi wants to fight with us, then we will fight a positional battle with Lao Maozi......"
Although it has been a long time since the last defeat of Lao Maozi's encirclement and suppression, the three trenches dug by the third battalion in Longgangling still exist.
Therefore, as soon as Yang Xingguo saw these three trenches separated by two hundred meters, a very bold idea appeared in Yang Xingguo's mind.
Using the three trenches in front of him, a three-dimensional fortification was built, and through this three-dimensional fortification, a large number of casualties were inflicted on Lao Maozi's attacking troops.
After making a careful observation of the former battlefield, several battalion and company commanders immediately gathered around Yang Xingguo and waited for Yang Xingguo's order.
Facing everyone's gaze at him, Yang Xingguo did not give an order immediately.
Under the gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, he picked up a branch and drew three lines to indicate the three trenches that everyone saw before he spoke......
"Brothers, these are three trenches, and the one, two, three, and three battalions are each responsible for one trench...... I ask you, within a day, to dig the trench two meters deep and one meter wide, so that all the brothers can walk up and down the trench with their bodies straight without being hit by the bullets fired by the enemy......"
"As for other reasons and incomprehensions, I will keep them secret for the time being, and everyone will know ...... then."
"Fourth battalion, immediately go into the mountains and cut down trees...... I want a calf-thick, three-meter trunk, the more the better, and I'll give you the same time, and after a day, there will be other tasks......"
For most miners in the army, digging trenches could not have been easier.
Originally, I thought that the task that could only be completed in one day took everyone only half a day to complete.
As a result, Yang Xingguo had to assign new tasks to everyone in advance......
"The second task of the one, two, two battalions, to connect the three trenches in twos and twos...... Between every two trenches, three trenches were dug one and a half meters deep and half a meter wide, which were used for the retreat and transfer of troops...... I call it a traffic trench, and you have a total of six main companies, each with a traffic trench in the belly......"
"The task of the third battalion is not simple, use the trunks cut down by the fourth battalion, and build three heavy machine-gun forts for me in each trench......"
"What? You guys don't know what a heavy machine gun fortress is...... Quite simply, two rows of wooden stakes were nailed around the fortress, and a circle of bags filled with earth was piled up, leaving a shooting hole the size of a head in the front and an entrance and exit in the back, and all of these openings were reinforced with stakes and sandbags...... As for the top of the fortress, three layers of tree trunks were crossed, then a layer of sandbags was covered, and finally, a layer of soil more than two meters thick was placed on top...... When the time comes, I will personally teach you how to repair the heavy machine gun fortress......"
