Chapter 475: Drink it first

"Annihilation of them, how is it possible? This is more than 40,000 elite Russian troops, do we have the ability? Wang Hu, who was frightened, asked with a look of disbelief. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Xingguo smiled and did not answer the question.

After some hesitation and thinking, he directly ordered: "I have already ordered Zhou Qiangsheng to destroy the official roads in the back and drag them for a few hours, and there is no problem at all." “

"Order the three regiments in front, after the shelling stops, choose the time of retreat and abandon the position!"

"Order the Guard Division, get ready for battle! As soon as the Russian army enters our defense area, I will attack them, and we must not let them successfully kill outside Liaoyang City! ”

"Contact the heavy artillery division immediately, and when you arrive, you will build an artillery position directly outside Liaoyang City, and the artillery of the four heavy artillery regiments must all be erected, and I want to teach the Russian army a profound lesson outside Liaoyang City. If you can't wipe them out, you'll have to hit them hard. ”

After successfully taking the third line of defense of the Liaodong Army, seeing a large number of corpses that the Liaodong Army could not take away, the chief of staff of the Russian army directly believed that the defenders fled without a fight under their own attack.

Such a good opportunity to beat the water dogs, of course, the chief of staff of the Russian army will not let it go.

Immediately ordered a division to advance lightly, follow the trail left by the retreat of the three regiments, and expand the results of the battle.

"These Russian troops are too arrogant, they dare to pursue without artillery, and they follow so closely!" Hearing the report of the reconnaissance company of the first division, Yang Xingguo said with a dissatisfied face.

The entire blocking battle was pressed and fought by the Russian army, and Li Zhilong, who was holding back his anger, seemed to have found a target to vent, and directly asked for battle: "Commander, there are still three battalions in the first division that have combat effectiveness!" I want to find a chance to bite them and avenge my brothers who died in battle! “

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "Such a good fighter, if you want to bite it, you have to take a big bite, the strength of the three battalions is too small!" ”

Seeing the disappointed expression that quickly flashed on Wang Hu's face, Yang Xingguo followed and said, "Of course, don't worry, these arrogant Russian troops won't have any good results!" ”

"I have already sent the news to the guard division, and I believe that the guard division should be able to teach the Russian army a profound lesson!"

"Of course, if you also want to intervene, you can order the deputy team to run forward, go to the front to report to the guard division, and also participate!"

The Russian army knew that the defense of Liaoyang was a main division of the Liaodong Army. Coupled with the Japanese army's attack on the Anshan front, the Liaodong Army, which had limited troops, could not draw more troops to Liaoyang.

Therefore, as soon as they took the position of the first division, they believed that there was no Liaodong Army in Liaoyang that could threaten them.

It was with this mentality that the Russian army dared to send a light infantry division to pursue the three regiments, wanting to kill Liaoyang in one go.

Because there was not much vigilance, after more than an hour, the slightly tired Russian troops broke into the pockets prepared for them by the guard division.

Li Xiaohu, the commander of the guard division, who originally planned to eat half of the Russian army and retreat with lightning speed, immediately expanded the pocket array to the size of two Russian regiments after getting a regiment sent by Wang Hu.

After the battle began, the three regiments first used more than twice the light and heavy firepower of the Russian army to kill and wound a large number of Russian troops.

After the riflemen fired three bullets, one grenade per person was immediately thrown at the remnants of the Russian army, who were already lying on the ground.

The raid battle was fought here, and the two regiments of the Russian army that entered the encirclement, even if every time the whole army was destroyed, it would not save many people.

Seeing that the last regiment of the Russian army had already reacted and was ready to rescue the surrounded troops, Li Xiaohu decisively issued an order to retreat, allowing the Russian reinforcements to pounce.

"Bastard, doesn't it mean that there is no Liaodong Army in Liaoyang that can threaten us? So where did these thousands of Liaodong troops come from, did they fall from the sky? The chief of staff of the Russian army, who received the news, scolded loudly.

A division commander replied in a low voice: "It may be that reinforcements sent by the Liaodong Army have arrived!" ”

"Maybe? Do you know that because of your possibility, two infantry regiments were almost wiped out! The chief of staff asked rhetorically with a disgruntled expression.

Several division commanders immediately lowered their heads and did not say a word.

At this time, the chief of staff continued: "What, it's all dumb! Did the pursuing force find out the specific identity of the ambush force? The Liaodong army ran away after beating us, did you send people to pursue us, do you know where these sneak attackers are now? ”

The division commander, who escaped from the ambush, hurriedly replied: "According to the intensity of the enemy's firepower, we judge that it is the most elite guard division of the Liaodong Army, with a total of three regiments. ”

"Because of the heavy losses of the troops, there are a large number of wounded who need to be treated. In addition, there was only one regiment left in the whole division, and I was worried that I would encounter another ambush by the Liaodong Army, so I did not send people to pursue it. ”

"But I'm sure that the Liaodong Army that attacked us was retreating in the direction of Liaoyang City."

The chief of staff, who was quite satisfied with this arrangement, immediately scolded: "Liaodong Army, guard division, I must kill you all!" ”

"Since this guard division is retreating in the direction of Liaoyang, they will not be able to escape from the palm of our hands. I ordered the whole army to attack and advance in the direction of Liaoyang City, step by step, and I wanted to annihilate this so-called guard division in Liaoyang City. ”

Yang Xingguo's slap in the face to the Russian army did not frighten the chief of staff of the Russian army, but made him more fanatical.

However, his fanaticism did not last long, and he was troubled by the next problem that Yang Xingguo gave him.

As soon as the chief of staff of the Russian army arrived at the scene of the incident with the main force, the reconnaissance unit sent him a message!

"Chief of Staff, the official road in front has been destroyed, and you can only walk people, not artillery and baggage vehicles?" The reconnaissance battalion commander reported with a solemn face.

Looking at the corpses everywhere, the chief of staff, who was already in a bad mood, was even worse at this time, and said with a frown.

"Let's go, let's see!"

Soon, the potholed official road with no end in sight appeared in front of the chief of staff.

"The cunning Liaodong Army actually came up with such a despicable way to slow down our attack!" The chief of staff scolded loudly.

"Chief of Staff, what should I do next......" A division commander asked in a low voice in shock.

"Order the sappers to build the road immediately...... With these small means, it is impossible to stop us. Even if the Liaodong Army hides back in Liaoyang, I will destroy them all? The chief of staff commanded decisively.

At this moment, Yang Xingguo had already answered Liaoyang City.

The commanders of the guard division, Li Xiaohu, Wang Hu, and Zhou Qiangsheng, stood in front of Yang Xingguo without saying a word and waited for orders.

Yang Xingguo didn't let them wait too long, and as soon as the heavy artillery division arrived, a layout against the Russian army began to unfold.

There were less than 40,000 Russian troops left, and after a day and a night of difficult marching, when they finally saw the city wall of Liaoyang City, another line of defense was lying in front of them.

"The position must have just been built by the Liaodong Army when we used the time to build the road, and the soil dug in front of the trench is still new!" The chief of staff held up the binoculars and judged. (To be continued.) )
