Chapter 308: Opportunity
"Three or four million taels of silver, according to the current consumption rate of our Liaodong Army, it can definitely meet our needs for a year......"
"After a year's arrival, all the more than 10 million mu of fertile land in the five counties of central Liaoning will be planted with grain and a bumper harvest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"At that time, although our taxes are low, we will have more fertile land, and we will collect five million taels ......of silver, and there will be no problem at all."
Looking at the confident smile on Zhou Zhongju's face, Yang Xingguo did not speak.
Of course, not speaking does not mean that Yang Xingguo agrees with what Zhou Zhongju said.
Looking at it now, 200,000 taels of silver per month for the Liaodong Army is enough.
However, Yang Xingguo knew that after a few months, as the Liaodong Army became stronger and stronger, with more and more departments, the monthly expenses would become larger and larger.
When the time comes, it will be possible to spend 300,000 taels, 400,000 taels, or even 500,000 taels per month.
Of course, at this time, Yang Xingguo did not go back to hit Sun Liechen's self-confidence.
In any case, with an income of three or four million taels of silver a few months later, the Liaodong Army still had no problem holding out for half a year.
For more than half a year, he was a reborn again, and Yang Xingguo didn't believe that he couldn't think of a solution.
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Zhongju left, Yang Xingguo put this matter behind him and concentrated all his energy to command the actual combat training that the Liaodong Army was about to begin.
As soon as Chief of Staff Sun Liechen walked into the headquarters, Yang Xingguo asked, "Have you brought back all the grenades?" ”
"Twelve thousand grenades, all of them have been brought back......," Sun Liechen nodded and replied.
After Yang Xingguo nodded, he quickly shifted his gaze to the map of Anshan hanging on the wall.
After drawing six circles on the map with a pencil, he ordered Sun Liechen: "With our current strength, to attack the stronghold of the Japanese army's heavy defense is to send the recruits to death." ”
"I Yang Xingguo won't do this kind of thing. Since it is to train soldiers, it is to achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost, so that the recruits can feel the battlefield firsthand, see blood up close, and kill people. ”
"So, I'm going to lure the Japanese out of the stronghold. Find a way to ambush them......"
"With our superiority in firepower, plus the grenades that we are going to equip our troops. As long as the Japanese army does not exceed ours, it will not take any advantage in our hands. We can also achieve the effect of training troops at the lowest cost......"
Sun Liechen shook his head and replied, "Commander." Ambush is indeed the best battle for training, but it is necessary to lure the Japanese army out of the stronghold. In my opinion, it is very difficult and almost impossible to achieve......"
"The Japanese army has lost almost one brigade of troops in the hands of Li Zhilong twice before and after. No matter how stupid they are, they won't be fooled for the third time......"
"The general method is indeed not to let the Japanese army be fooled. After all, the Japanese army is not a fool......" After thinking about it, Yang Xingguo said to Sun Liechen.
"So, this time, I'm going to give the Japanese army a ruthless solution......"
As he spoke, Yang Xingguo marked three Japanese strongholds on the map, and said to Sun Liechen: "According to Li Zhilong's enemy report, we know. The devils defending all three levels have only one brigade, and they are not equipped with artillery. ”
"If we concentrate the forces of three regiments, each with a field artillery company, and attack these three strongholds at the same time. You say, what will the Japanese army do? ”
"Send reinforcements immediately......" Sun Liechen blurted out without thinking about it.
"As soon as these three levels fall into our hands, the flanks of the main Japanese forces will be threatened by us......"
"In order to ensure the safety of their flanks, the Japanese army will desperately hold these three checkpoints where the defenders are weak......"
Yang Xingguo nodded in agreement, and continued to ask: "Then you will see again, where will the Japanese army send reinforcements from......
After carefully looking at the map of the distribution of friend and foe on the wall, Sun Liechen replied: "The surrounding strongholds and the reserve of a wing of the Japanese army behind. All three strongholds can be reinforced. “
"If the speed is fast, it will take up to five hours to go back and forth, and the Japanese reinforcements can rush to the battlefield."
Speaking of this, Sun Liechen suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up, and he exclaimed at Yang Xingguo.
"Commander, I understand, I know how you plan to lure the Japanese out and ambush the Japanese army......"
"If the Japanese army wants to reinforce the three levels where they are attacked, they must pass through the six points you just drawn."
"If we ambush a regiment at each of these six points. And with a grenade. As long as the Japanese reinforcements did not exceed one brigade, we could easily eat them......"
Yang Xingguo nodded, and his face slowly became serious.
Facing Sun Liechen, he decisively ordered: "Chief of Staff, since you are already clear, then immediately formulate a battle plan......
"The Japanese troops in the eight strongholds on the Anshan front line were all beaten into turtles with shrunken heads by Li Zhilong, and now is a great opportunity for us to penetrate and penetrate deep into the rear of the Japanese army, and we must not prevent fire......
"Also, if the conditions are right, the attacking troops can take these levels......"
"Interspersed with weapons and ammunition captured by the troops in the hinterland of the Japanese army, bring those that are convenient to carry. If it is inconvenient to carry, it will be buried directly on the spot. After we break the blockade and defense line of the Japanese army, we will find a way to transport it back......"
In less than a day, a complete battle plan was sent to Yang Xingguo by Sun Liechen.
After confirming that there was no problem, Yang Xingguo immediately ordered Sun Liechen to start the execution.
There are more than 20,000 people in the nine main regiments of the Liaodong Army, just like a huge war machine, when it begins to operate in an orderly manner.
The Japanese General Headquarters, which had just received the commander-in-chief of the Anshan garrison and the Liaodong Army, who had been wiped out by more than 1,000 people, was once again furious in the headquarters.
If we say that the losses of the past few days are to blame on accidents, it will not make sense to say that the losses of many brigades in front of us are accidents.
After smashing the office to pieces, the anger in the commander-in-chief's heart finally subsided.
He asked in a loud voice to the chief of staff: "Didn't you say that the Liaodong Army would not attack us again, what happened to the more than 1,000 warriors who died in battle?" Tell me, Chief of Staff, what the hell is going on. ”
The chief of staff replied with an innocent face: "Commander-in-chief, all patrol units have been devastated by the enemy, so, so far, we don't know how the Liaodong Army eliminated our ......"
"All we know is that the enemy who ambushed our patrol was armed with a large number of heavy machine guns, and we found a large number of heavy machine gun bullet shells in the battlefield of engagement."
"Bage Yalu ......," the commander-in-chief scolded loudly.
"Intelligence, what is our intelligence system for, why is there no warning. The military budget given to them by the military department every year is enough to form several divisions and regiments, and they all use it to feed the pigs? ”
The chief of staff hurriedly replied: "According to intelligence, the main forces of the Liaodong Army are undergoing a large-scale expansion and have not been mobilized......"
"Nani, then you tell me, how more than a thousand of our warriors died in battle, and in whose hands did they die......" (To be continued.) )
