When the cavalry division was raging in the middle of the devil's station, the line of defense defended by a Japanese division and regiment, except for the cavalry division?26?? The breakthrough opened, and the rest are still fighting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Japanese army did not have mountain artillery to provide artillery support, the mortars and grenadiers equipped by the infantry brigades did cause a lot of casualties to the Liaodong Army during the attack.

Many of the attacking troops had to leave their bodies behind and retreat under the combined counterattack of devil mortars and grenadiers.

However, the casualties of the Japanese army were only much more than those of the Liaodong Army.

After all, they relied on some civil fortifications. Whether it is mountain artillery or field artillery, a cannonball will be able to raze the devil's position to the ground.

Especially after the heavy artillery regiment began to provide artillery support to the attacking troops in battalion and company units, the casualties of the devils were large.

But the devils knew that they couldn't retreat, as long as they retreated, the artillery and baggage troops behind them would be exposed in front of the Liaodong Army, and they would be slaughtered by the Liaodong Army.

Only by staying here, buying time for the artillery behind as much as possible, allowing them to set up their artillery and provide artillery support for themselves, can they repel the attack of the Liaodong Army and finally survive.

What they didn't expect was that because the battlefield was too big, the guns and cannons of the Liaodong Army's attack were everywhere around the station. They did not know that the cavalry division had broken through the defensive line, smashed into the artillery positions, and slaughtered the artillery to which they had high hopes.

Not only that, less than a minute after the cavalry division broke through, the two regiments of the guard division followed the gap opened by the cavalry division and entered the Japanese garrison.

Because there was a cavalry division in the garrison, they did not rush to join in. Instead, it was split into two and killed the devil's other lines of defense from the flank.

In this case, even if the devil has three heads and six arms, he can't stop the attack of the Liaodong Army in several directions.

Soon, the remaining devils on the defense line collapsed, like a lost dog, fleeing for their lives where there was no Liaodong Army.

The artillery and baggage units in the garrison, which had long been shrouded in fear, also began to flee for their lives. Follow the surrounding infantry and flee in the direction where there is no Liaodong Army.

After all, there are still about 30,000 devils, and if they are pushed into a hurry, they will also burst out with strong combat effectiveness, although they are all baggage troops and artillery.

Therefore, in the face of the devils who fled in all directions, the Liaodong Army did not block them, but chased them behind their butts and beat them.

In this case, driven by the instinct to live, no devil will rise up the determination to resist in the flight for his life. And the Liaodong Army, which was closely following them, could keep firing bullets into their backs like beating water dogs, harvesting their lives.

The whole battle began at 10 o'clock in the morning and lasted until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when the Liaodong Army, which was scattered and pursuing, rushed back with the capture.

At this time, the special operations detachment had already summarized the battlefield situation in Zhang Shanlin's hands.

As soon as he saw the battle report, Zhang Shanlin had a smile on his face, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

As soon as he rushed to Li Zhilong, he reluctantly said excitedly: "Big victory, Commander Li, we have made a lot of money in this battle!" ”

"According to the statistics of the special operations detachment, we have captured as many as 315 artillery pieces of various calibers in the devil's station, including as many as 150 guns of the four heavy artillery wings, and the rest of the artillery is also impatient.

Seeing Li Zhilong was the same as seeing the battle report for the first time, showing a shocked expression of disbelief. Zhang Shanlin continued.

"And that's just a part of all our seizures. The 100,000 elite Japanese troops in the past 10 days of war materials, especially ammunition supplies, were all captured by us. Among them, the most important for us are shells of various calibers, which average to more than 15 per artillery, a total of more than 60,000 shells. ”

With the return of more and more troops, the number of enemies destroyed in the whole battle was slowly counted.

Of the more than 40,000 Japanese troops, no less than 20,000 were left on the battlefield and turned into corpses.

The remaining living devils have either escaped from the base area or fled into the surrounding mountains.

Although there were still 10,000 or 20,000 people, these deserters could no longer threaten the Liaodong Army without supplies and even weapons.

"We don't have much to lose!" After being happy, Li Zhilong immediately asked more than a dozen excited division commanders in front of him.

After all, after solving the devils here, there are still more than 20,000 devils to solve twenty kilometers away.

Although the more than 20,000 devils were not equipped with the heavy artillery that Li Zhilong had the most scruples about, they were all the most elite infantry of the Manchurian Army, and they were well-equipped and had sufficient ammunition.

If you don't have enough troops to deal with them, even if you can defeat them in the end, you can't guarantee total annihilation, and you will suffer heavy losses.

Zhang Shanlin frowned and replied: "The loss is still within our acceptable range." The cavalry division lost nearly two thousand men, and less than three and a half thousand cavalry were able to continue the battle. ”

"The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Guards Division took advantage of the cavalry division, and the losses were less, and all of them added up to only 10,000 people."

"The three regiments of the guard division lost one battalion, and the casualties of the eleventh and twelfth divisions were not small, and on average each regiment lost nearly one battalion of troops."

Li Zhilong's face immediately became gloomy, his brows furrowed, and he asked in a heavy tone: "Didn't we crush the devils to death with artillery fire on the battlefield?" How can the losses be so big? ”

Seeing that more than a dozen division commanders lowered their heads and did not speak, Zhang Shanlin analyzed: "All of us underestimated the enemy, although we knew that the devils were equipped with mortars and grenadiers, but I didn't expect them to use them so well in defense." ”

"Of all the soldiers we lost, nearly 60 percent of the casualties were caused by the devils using mortars and grenadiers."

Li Zhilong replied in an unkind tone: "More than 10,000 devil infantry have brought us such heavy casualties, so the remaining more than 20,000 devil elites have brought us more casualties!" It seems that the next big battle is not as easy to fight as we expected! ”

Zhang Shanlin didn't see it that way, shook his head and replied: "Commander Li, the situation is not as bad as you think. ”

"There is another reason why there are so many casualties! Throughout the battle, we had too many scruples. One of the biggest scruples is the devil artillery. In order not to give the devil artillery time to prepare, each regiment attacked regardless of casualties, which is why there were such big losses. ”

"And we don't have so many scruples about beating the remaining more than 20,000 devils, we can clean them up little by little."

"There is also the artillery we captured, all of which are used, and it also gives the devil a taste of being covered by artillery fire. I believe that Division Commander Xiao here should most like to see the picture of more than 20,000 devils being shelled by hundreds of artillery pieces. ”

Xiao Bing's eyes lit up and said: "Commander, your defense line, hundreds of artillery shells, even if the devils hide in the trenches, they can be scared to death." The 10th Division still has anti-artillery holes, and it can't withstand the bombardment of hundreds of artillery pieces by the devils, not to mention that the devils don't have time to repair the anti-artillery holes at all.
