Chapter 508: The Japanese Army Counterattacks

The chief of staff thought about it and replied: "For the time being, this can only be the case!" It's just that, according to the current situation, the troops will definitely not be able to launch an attack on the Liaodong Army on time! ”

"Then push back the attacking time! Judging from the artillery strength exposed by the Liaodong Army, we need at least three heavy artillery brigades and at least four heavy artillery wings in each direction to ensure that we maintain firepower superiority when firing at each other with the Liaodong Army. "Although Dashanyan was very unhappy, in order to ensure victory and the safety www.biquge.info of more than 100,000 soldiers, he still ordered with a bitter face.

But it didn't take long for Da Shanyan's face to be covered with murderous aura again, and he ordered to the chief of staff: "Since the attack time is going to be pushed back again, then we will solve the hidden danger behind us!" ”

"At the beginning, I was afraid that the encirclement and suppression of these Liaodong troops would drag down a large number of our troops and delay our offensive time. Now, without their delay, our offensive time has been delayed, and the original problem is not a problem! ”

"Chief of Staff, immediately transfer a main division from the reserve to reinforce Fengcheng! I'll give them a month to completely wipe out all the main forces of the Liaodong Army around Fengcheng! ”

A day later, a division appeared on the official road to Fengcheng.

The 100,000 Japanese troops in the direction of Liaoyang and Anshan also began to shrink their defensive lines and sent a large number of patrols around!

After the news reached the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, Yang Xingguo immediately smiled and said: "Chief of Staff, the Japanese army is afraid of our battle!" Such an arrangement is obviously to prevent our heavy artillery division from giving them another artillery covering. ”

"Especially in the direction of Liaoyang, the patrol troops are sent ten kilometers away from the station, which is exactly the effective range of heavy artillery!"

"With the loss of a heavy artillery brigade, three artillery wings, and nearly three infantry wings at once, it is no wonder that the Japanese army is not heartbroken." Chief of Staff Sun Liechen replied as a matter of course.

"Also, in my opinion, this arrangement of the Japanese army seems to be a turtle with a shrunken head, but it is actually the best way to reduce casualties and losses!"

Speaking of this, a trace of dissatisfaction suddenly appeared on Sun Liechen's face, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he continued: "It's just that in this way, it will be impossible for our heavy artillery division to think of any action!" ”

"With so many artillery pieces, it is likely that they were discovered by the Japanese before they were fired into effective range. At that time, even if the Japanese army does not strike first, it will be able to transfer in advance, so that the heavy artillery division will lose the target of shelling! ”

Yang Xingguo thought about it and said silently: "The heavy artillery division has no chance!" But a couple of our infantry divisions still have a chance! ”

"Commander, what do you mean?" The chief of staff hurriedly asked.

"Infantry to infantry, didn't the Japanese army send a large number of troops to patrol and guard within ten kilometers of the station? Let Wang Hu and Li Zhilong find out the specific situation of the Japanese patrols, and then send troops to kill these patrols! ”

In order to prevent our heavy artillery division from giving them another artillery cover, the Japanese army must ensure that there is no Liaodong Army within ten kilometers of the station. So, even if we eat the patrols they're sending out now, they'll still continue to patrol them. “

"What we have to do is to use these small-scale annihilation battles to continuously eliminate their patrols, accumulate small victories into big victories, and unknowingly consume their forces!"

Sun Liechen thought about it and analyzed: "According to reconnaissance, the Japanese patrols are all squadron sizes, and the smaller ones also have squad sizes. If we eat them one squadron a day, then in ten days, the Japanese losses will reach one infantry wing! ”

"Hiss......" Sun Liechen, who couldn't help but gasp because of his own judgment, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Commander, you have no way to do this, after figuring out the rules of the Japanese patrols, the front-line troops will be able to concentrate superior forces to ambush them, so that our casualties are almost negligible!"

"And the Japanese army, the daily losses must be more than a squadron. Losing a squadron a day, the Japanese army must not have taken it seriously. Because, according to the general rules, the patrols sent out by the Japanese army every day should belong to different wings! ”

"Even if a wing loses two or three squadrons, the Japanese army will not take it to heart!"

"But the Japanese army has three divisions and more than a dozen wings in one direction, and if a division loses two or three squadrons, all of them add up to two or three infantry wings, which is equivalent to the strength of one and a half brigades and regiments that we can easily eat!"

After finishing speaking, Chief of Staff Sun Liechen immediately decided: "Commander, I will immediately go and give an order to the two main divisions on the front line, and if we act one day earlier, we will be able to destroy one or two more squadrons of Japanese troops!" ”

The main force of the Liaodong Army fought-for-tat, with the elite against the elite, and began to hunt and kill the Japanese patrols.

The special operations detachment operating outside Fengcheng City also felt the pressure of the Japanese army's heavy attack.

A special operations squadron led by Wang Hong has now expanded to 1,500 people. Although fully equipped, it was also equipped with ten field guns of captured Japanese troops.

But the ones who really have combat effectiveness are the hundreds of bandits who were first recruited by Wang Hong.

As for the nearly 1,000 young men who joined later, in addition to being able to shoot, they hardly learned too many tactical moves.

But in this case, the Japanese army actually dispatched two infantry brigades to encircle and suppress them at once.

Before nearly 2,000 Japanese troops had entered the mountain, Wang Hong received a report on the enemy situation from Zhang Shanlin, the commander of the detachment, and began to make preparations for battle.

"Deputy captain, the Japanese army is menacing, and our people are not well trained, do you want to continue to hide in the mountains and take shelter for the time being!" A squad leader suggested.

Several of the other squad leaders had expressions of approval on their faces.

"What? You're scared! Wang Hong asked with a calm face!

"How so? Detachment leader, if there were no recruits, just one squadron of us, we would be able to grind two brigades of Japanese soldiers to death in the mountains. I'm just worried that those recruits will lose a lot of money if they rush to fight the Japanese army! The squadron leader hastened to explain.

Wang Hong nodded and replied confidently: "It's okay not to be afraid, as for the rest, as long as we arrange it properly and think it through enough, it's not a problem at all!" ”

"Some time ago, you took recruits to attack the Japanese transport troops, didn't you fight very well! In that case, let's continue to use the sneak attacks we are good at, sharpen them first, trench more of their troops, and by the way, polish their morale. When you're done, find a way to kill them! ”

Compared with a sneak attack on the Japanese transport troops on the official road, it was obviously easier to sneak up on the two infantry brigades that went deep into the mountains.

The mountains are barely destroyed, and there are battlefields almost everywhere.

A squadron of the forward had just entered the mountain less than 200 meters after following the path left by the special operations detachment in and out of the mountain, when a burst of gunfire rang out in the forest, including the sound of rifle fire and the sound of light and heavy machine gun fire.

In an instant, dozens of Japanese soldiers who were walking in the front fell to the ground.

After they were done, the sneak attackers did not stay long, and ran into the depths of the forest with their weapons on their shoulders.

When the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground subconsciously raised their rifles to counterattack, these dozens of sneak attackers had already penetrated more than ten meters into the forest.

The counterattack bullets fired by the Japanese were blocked by a tree trunk that suddenly appeared in the middle before they could catch up with them. (To be continued.) )
