Chapter 165: Changing Plans (Asking for Collection)
Two hours later, the smell of meat wafted from the Lao Maozi military camp. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The barracks, which was still a mess and lifeless just now, has slowly regained some vitality because of this.
Another two hours passed, and with the replenishment of a large amount of horse meat, more than 300 old Maozi, who had recovered their physical strength, finally had the physical strength to fight.
In order not to continue to eat horse meat for the next meal, Lao Maozi, who had more than 2,000 people, immediately moved.
"Commander...... Lao Maozi left the station, as if he was leaving...... "Wang Lin, the commander of the reconnaissance company, reported as soon as he rushed into the headquarters.
"Do you retreat or continue to march forward...... Yang Xingguo's brows subconsciously frowned, and he asked Wang Lin.
At the same time, Zhang Shanlin and Zhou Qiangsheng's eyes also shifted to Wang Lin as soon as possible.
Wang Lin did not hesitate, and replied very decisively: "Yes, continue to march forward......
"It seems that Lao Maozi here still doesn't know the news that their raiding troops have been wiped out by us......" Yang Xingguo said thoughtfully.
Then, with a telescope, he rushed out of the tent.
As a special soldier in later generations, Yang Xingguo's observation and acuity definitely surpassed everyone in the Liaodong Army.
Holding the binoculars, after observing for less than half a minute, Yang Xingguo's brows furrowed again.
Facing the two subordinates, he frowned and said: "There is a problem, there is a problem with the old Maozi who came out of the camp, they are likely to have eaten the food that Li Zhilong made his hands and feet......"
Zhang Shanlinjin, who was born as a reconnaissance company commander, followed and said: "Commander, it must be like this...... Except for the two or three hundred old Maozi in front of him, the rest of the old Maozi all look weak......"
"There are also heavy machine guns, in order to prevent sneak attacks, Lao Maozi usually carries them, so that they can quickly enter the battle. However, these old men went against the norm and carried heavy machine guns on the baggage carts for transportation...... This must be because Lao Maozi was hit by diarrhea and didn't have the physical strength to carry the heavy machine gun, so he had to put the heavy machine gun on the baggage car......"
Zhou Qiangsheng also seemed to have discovered something, and then said: "Commander, I remember that when Lao Maozi camped a day ago, more than two thousand Lao Maozi were equipped with a total of more than fifty war horses. And now, there are not even forty horses. ”
"There has been no fighting in the past two days, and it is impossible for Lao Maozi to lose his horse...... And now there are so many fewer war horses, there is only one reason, Lao Maozi has no food, so he has to kill horses to satisfy his hunger......"
The judgment of the two battalion commanders further affirmed their guesses about the more than 2,000 old hairmen in front of them.
As a result, a very bold idea quickly came to Yang Xingguo's mind.
However, out of prudence, he decided to test Lao Maozi.
After thinking about it, Yang Xingguo directly ordered Zhang Shanlin beside him: "Tell the reconnaissance company in front of you to concentrate your firepower and beat Lao Maozi." After that, retreat quickly, I want to see how Lao Maozi reacts......"
Soon, a mile away from the official road, there was a dense burst of gunfire.
Yang Xingguo quickly raised the binoculars and looked at the location where the gunshots rang out.
With the help of the telescope, Yang Xingguo clearly saw that the dense old Maozi on the official road took a long time to react after being attacked.
Slowly lying on the ground, he picked up the rifle on his shoulder and counterattacked.
As for the heavy machine gunners, it took a long time for them to carry off the heavy machine guns mounted on the baggage carts and put them back on the side of the official road, ready to counterattack, completely powerless.
However, when they finally reacted and began firing counter-bullets at the reconnaissance company. The reconnaissance company's surprise firepower has stopped, and even the dozens of officers and men of the reconnaissance company have disappeared completely.
The raid ended, and Lao Maozi, who was attacked, lost dozens of people.
However, their formation remained unchanged. Maybe it's because they didn't pay attention to this raid, maybe it's because their whole army is poisoned, and it's simply impossible to do much......
However, the sneak attack of the reconnaissance company, in Yang Xingguo's view, was a huge surprise from God.
Yang Xingguo, who was excited, had not yet spoken, and Zhang Shanlin said in a firm tone: "Commander, Lao Maozi must have eaten the food that Company Commander Li made for his hands and feet, diarrhea, his body is weak, and he has no physical strength......"
"Otherwise, their reaction would never be so slow, and they are completely different from the old Maozi elite I know......"
"Commander, I'm sure I'......," Zhou Qiangsheng followed closely behind.
At this time, Yang Xingguo's face quickly showed an unprecedentedly determined expression, and he said to the two: "God-given opportunity, this is definitely the perfect opportunity for God to give us to eliminate Lao Maozi...... I decided to change my plan and launch an attack on Lao Maozi in advance......"
Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo directly took a few steps back, picked up a branch casually, and analyzed while marking out Lao Maozi's marching column on the ground.
"Although Lao Maozi's entire marching army is dense, because of poisoning, his combat effectiveness can only exert fifty percent of his previous ...... at most."
"My idea is to seize this opportunity to launch a surprise attack directly on Lao Maozi's marching army, and divide Lao Maozi into three ...... with the fastest speed and the shortest time."
"Among them, artillery and a battalion of protection artillery are part of it. The two battalions in front of the artillery were fed partly, and the two battalions in the rear were partial. ”
"After completing the division and encirclement of Lao Maozi, first eat Lao Maozi's artillery ......"
"As long as we lose artillery, Lao Maozi's remaining forces will lose all our advantages in front of us."
"When the time comes, it will be very easy to eliminate them......"
After finishing speaking, Yang Xingguo ordered directly without waiting for the two subordinates to react.
"Battalion Commander Zhou, you have pulled out the two companies with the most complete organization in our hands...... In addition to the light and heavy machine guns that I am equipping, I am adding three heavy machine guns to each of the two companies, which are responsible for interspersing and dividing Lao Maozi into three ......"
"Cavalry battalions, together with interspersed troops, to attack...... Take the Lao Maozi artillery battalion. ”
"Battalion Commander Wang, you brought more than 100 people, responsible for cutting off Lao Maozi's back road and dragging them on the battlefield, and I will also add three heavy machine guns to you."
"The rest of the remaining officers and men of the whole army, under my personal command, will follow the interspersed troops to launch an attack on Lao Maozi, and first destroy the two battalions led by Lao Maozi."
In the middle of Lao Maozi's mighty marching army, the division commander on a war horse, although he was very tired, did not dare to give the order to rest.
The battle where the troops were attacked just now, the division commander saw it very clearly.
Ostensibly, after the raid ended, he did not react in any way.
However, the division commander was very anxious in his heart.
Because, it is impossible for the raiding troops of the Liaodong Army not to react very slowly and sluggishly after discovering that their troops were being raided.
Now that the other party has found that there is something wrong with its troops, the Liaodong Army will definitely not let go of this opportunity to attack itself.
If his troops were not poisoned, he would definitely order his troops to speed up their march and rush to Zhuangzi in front as soon as possible.
However, not now, even if they give the order themselves, the troops will not be able to go fast.
In this way, the division commander could only pray in his heart with a face full of helplessness that the Liaodong Army would not react so quickly.
