At the headquarters of the First Regiment of the Liaodong Army, after the excited chief of staff re-entered the headquarters, he handed Li Zhilong the results that had just been counted before he had time to take a breath. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Chief of Staff, the ten companies that attacked have all returned, and the results achieved can only be described in four words: very gratifying......

Li Zhilong, who was anxiously waiting for the results of the battle at the headquarters, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked the chief of staff.

"To be specific, there are also large casualties in each company, and whether they have played a role in training......

"Yes, regimental commander......" the chief of staff hastened to reply.

"The ten companies eliminated a total of 428 Japanese infantry squads and captured 403 rifles and more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition. According to the order, the nameplates representing the little devils were all brought back......"

"As for the casualties, it's entirely within our reach...... A total of 19 people were killed and 28 wounded, three of whom were seriously wounded, and these losses were all new recruits, not a single veteran and officer ......"

"As for the response from the companies, it was very good. Many company commanders have sent people to ask for battle, asking to continue the attack and eliminate the devil patrol team......"

Li Zhilong shook his head and replied: "Stop for a few days, we will eat ten of them at a time, and the little devils will definitely be vigilant." After the devil relaxes his vigilance, we will attack again and eat half of his brigade......"

"In addition, all the minor and serious wounded were sent to the field hospital of the headquarters. The conditions there are good and the recovery is fast......"

Because the telegraph at this time was still very heavy, and the troops were not equipped.

A day after the battle, the devils who defended the various checkpoints and strongholds realized that not only themselves, but all the strongholds on the front line of Anshan had been attacked, and the loss of one or two squads of troops ranged from one to two.

Faced with this situation, many devils wondered whether the Liaodong Army was going to launch a new round of attack on them.

As a result, the various strongholds of the devils immediately entered a combat state, and sent the news to the Japanese headquarters as soon as possible.

However, a few days passed. The various strongholds were not attacked, and not even the shadow of the Liaodong Army was seen.

"Bastard, what does the Liaodong Army want to do? After destroying ten of our squads, they disappeared without a trace, and they played us again? "The General Headquarters of the Japanese Army. After listening to the report of the chief of staff, the anger that the commander had held back in his heart immediately vented and scolded the chief of staff.

The chief of staff thought for a while and replied: "According to intelligence, the Liaodong Army is now carrying out a large-scale expansion of its army, and it is simply unable to launch a large-scale attack on us......

"Then what does the Liaodong Army mean by destroying ten of our squads at once. Do you really think that our great Japanese empire is easy to bully and play tricks on us again? The Commander-in-Chief asked loudly, frowning.

The chief of staff replied in a low voice: "I guess the Liaodong Army is doing this to test our ......"

"If we are indifferent to this matter, the Liaodong Army will think that our Imperial Japanese Army will not have the ability to attack them in a short time. And they can take this opportunity to expand the army and train their troops......"

"If we react and send troops to counterattack, then the Liaodong Army will only be able to carry out a small expansion ......"

"We all know that the combat effectiveness of the troops is not that the more people, the stronger the combat effectiveness. It's that the more veterans, the stronger the combat effectiveness. ”

"If the one-time expansion of the Liaodong Army is too large, in a short period of time, the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army will decline instead of rising."

"Yo Xi, it must be like this...... "The commander-in-chief also showed an expression of approval on his face.

After a brief hesitation. Make a decision right away.

"Since that's the case, then let's let the Liaodong Army expand its army, and the more it expands, the better......"

Seeing a sneer quickly flashing on the commander-in-chief's face, the chief of staff hurriedly asked, "Commander, what do you mean?" ”

"In order to defeat the Russian army as soon as possible, occupy Liaodong, and send the mineral resources of Liaodong back to the country in a steady stream. The military headquarters has agreed to send two more divisions from the country to reinforce us......"

"In a month, these two divisions will be here."

"And a month later, the Liaodong Army, which has completed the expansion, must be the weakest time for them."

"When the time comes, one of the divisions will be transferred. With the addition of one division on the Anshan front, we can concentrate the strength of two divisions to attack Liaozhong. When the Liaodong army was at its weakest, destroy them. ”

"Commander-in-Chief wise......" The chief of staff's eyes lit up and quickly replied.

"I immediately gave the order to the defenders on the front line of Anshan. Let them take their guard off the guard...... However, in order to avoid the patrol being attacked again, it was suggested that they increase the strength and firepower of the patrol and not give the Liaodong Army any chance. ”

After a few days of calm at the headquarters of the first regiment, Li Zhilong once again sent out the reconnaissance platoon.

A day later. The reconnaissance platoon brought itself a piece of good news that it had been waiting for for a long time.

"The Japanese have relaxed their vigilance, and the patrol force has been increased from one squad to two squads, and three heavy machine guns have been added......"

"Here's the opportunity......" Li Zhilong's eyes quickly shot out two hot glances, and said with a shiny face.

The chief of staff said, "It is indeed an opportunity...... However, the strength of the devil patrol is more than twice as strong as before, and it is definitely not an opponent to use another company to clean them up......"

Yang Xingguo thought about it and replied: "If a company can't work, a battalion ......."

"Eat the devil's three patrols first...... After the battle, quickly rush to the next battlefield and ambush the three patrols of the devils......"

"The devils rely on cavalry to pass news to each other, and I plan to send out the reconnaissance platoon to collect the cavalry that the devils pass on the news. In this way, we will be able to fight eight ambush battles in a row. ”

After confirming that the whole plan was really feasible, the chief of staff replied decisively: "Regiment commander, I will go down to make arrangements and start the operation tomorrow, and strive to defeat the eight patrols of the devils at one time and eat up the strength of one of their brigades." ”

Compared with the first time on the battlefield, the company with three fewer people not only did not have the panic of the last time, but was very much looking forward to it.

Many recruits swore to the battalion commissar on the march that this time they would aim and shoot at the Japanese army in ambush, strive to kill a devil, and make a war feat......

Compared with a company ambushing a small squad of Japanese troops, this time, the disparity in strength and firepower between the enemy and us was even greater.

Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, six heavy machine guns and nine light machine guns of the Liaodong Army inflicted unprecedented casualties on the Japanese patrol.

In particular, a dozen or so devil machine gunners who carried two heavy machine guns were specially attacked by three light machine guns.

More than a dozen machine gunners, before they could make any evasive moves, were all beaten into a hornet's nest and died too much to die.

As for the two heavy machine guns, they fell directly on the official road.

The remaining eighty or so devil soldiers of the two squads were not much better.

Under the frantic strafing of 12 light and heavy machine guns and 3 or 400 rifles, more than 80 devils were directly killed and wounded and more than 50 people were wounded.

The remaining thirty or so devil soldiers are not much better.

In the ensuing battle, one by one was hit.

In less than a minute, more than 100 devil soldiers all went to see Hades. (To be continued.) )
