After a full minute, Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied, "No, it's not time yet." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoHowever, tomorrow's battle can't be fought like this anymore, and the water must be released when it is time to release it. Today, the officers and troops have broken through three lines of defense, and tomorrow they will be given some hope and let them break through the five lines of defense, and the specific battle will still be commanded by you. ”

"Break through the five lines of defense, isn't it almost to the headquarters! Commander, why is that! Li Jie was stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked.

Yang Xingguo didn't answer much, just one sentence: "If you want to make it perish first, you must first make it crazy!" ”

Although Li Jie still didn't know Yang Xingguo's final order to do this, he still took the order quickly. Because he believed in Yang Xingguo, the invincible commander of the Liaodong Army.

The officers and troops were temporarily stationed, and Zaitao was very dissatisfied with the battle during the day today.

As soon as the troops stopped and set up camp, Zaitao summoned all the officers above the level of co-ordination to his tent to discuss a solution.

After nearly an hour of noise and arguments, Zaitao really got a solution.

Isn't the Liaodong Army afraid of artillery, so he will send a battalion of eighteen field guns to disassemble them into parts and march with war horses.

As long as one battalion of field artillery can keep up with the infantry, it will be easier to take the Liaodong Army defense line by yourself, and less time will be used.

As for the rest of the artillery and baggage units, they continued to march behind the main forces under the protection of the infantry of a association.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the officers and soldiers began to prepare.

In order to transport eighteen field guns and enough shells, Zaitao dispatched three hundred horses.

With the support of eighteen field artillery, coupled with Li Jie's deliberate release of water, Zaitao successively encountered three Liaodong Army blocking positions, all of which were blocked in less than half an hour before the whole line collapsed.

After walking the distance that took a day yesterday in half a day, Zaitao finally showed some smiles on his face, and became more and more confident in the next attack.

In the afternoon, the initial march was the same as in the morning, and it went very smoothly, breaking through the three lines of defense of the Liaodong Army in less than three hours.

Nearly two hours before dark, Zaitao ran into the sixth Liaodong Army defense line that he encountered today.

I thought that the battle would be as smooth as attacking the front few lines of defense, but what Zaitao didn't expect was that they kicked the iron plate this time. Even if field artillery was used, the attacking troops would not be able to rush to the position of the Liaodong Army.

However, it is also relieved to think about Zaitao, it is less than twenty miles away from the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, and it can be reached in an hour by marching quickly. If the Liaodong Army is not desperate, it will be tantamount to giving up their headquarters.

Looking at the slowly darkening sky, Zaitao decisively ordered the troops to stop the attack, and then retreated two miles back and camped, preparing to break through the defense line of the Liaodong Army in one fell swoop tomorrow and kill their headquarters.

At this time, Zaitao, who was a little overjoyed, seemed to have forgotten about the artillery and baggage troops behind him.

Because today's road was like a bamboo, the infantry advanced nearly seventy miles.

And the artillery and baggage, because they had to repair the pipeline, did not walk for less than thirty miles until dark, and they were still sleepy and lacked, so there was no way to continue to advance.

As a last resort, they could only camp on the spot under the protection of a few thousand infantry.

At this time, it was not completely dark, and in order to ensure the safety of the artillery and baggage, thousands of infantry, although very tired, did not want to get up as soon as they sat down. But they still insisted on arranging a defensive line around the station.

When the defensive positions around the garrison were almost arranged, the infantry, who had been busy for nearly half an hour, did not want to move at all, and directly lay down in their positions and began to rest, even the patrol team in charge of patrolling did not want to move.

At this time, the cavalry division that rushed to the battlefield with Yang Xingguo did not know when it had reached a position less than 500 meters away from the official artillery station.

Seeing that there was an unobstructed view of the surroundings of the official army station, and there was not even a single slope that hindered the cavalry's charge, the division commander Wu Xin's eyes immediately shot out two scorching gazes.

As soon as the three regiment commanders came, Wu Xin began to give orders: "On the surface, the officers and troops have seven or eight thousand people, but the infantry with real combat effectiveness is only four or five thousand. As long as we disperse these four or five thousand people, the remaining artillery and baggage soldiers will be the food in our mouths, and we can eat whatever we want. ”

"In order to completely annihilate them, the commander specially transferred three garrison regiments to cooperate with us. Around the battlefield, as long as there is a way to escape, at least one garrison company is stationed, and there is even a hand back in important places to prevent some fish from escaping. ”

"The task of our three cavalry regiments is to charge and kill from the east with three battalions from the first regiment, three battalions from the second regiment from the south, and after the two regiments charge and merge, they will go to the west and north respectively. The 3rd Cavalry Regiment, with a company platoon as a unit, pursued and killed the officers and soldiers who had escaped from the garrison. ”

"It's almost an hour before it gets completely dark, and in order to avoid accidental injury, we have to end the fight before it gets completely dark."

In less than ten minutes, two cavalry regiments were in position. And the tired officers and soldiers still didn't notice anything.

As three signal flares exploded in the air, the deafening sound of horses' hooves immediately sounded on the battlefield, which had been quiet just now.

Before the exhausted officers and soldiers could react, a dense cavalry appeared in front of them.

"Cavalry, cavalry of the Liaodong Army, quickly enter the position and prepare for defense!" Some of the officers who reacted, their faces changed, and they shouted orders at their subordinates.

By the time the exhausted officers and soldiers had managed to enter the position in panic and begin to counterattack, the cavalry had already rushed to a position less than three hundred meters away from them.

Dozens of light and heavy machine guns scattered around the garrison opened fire one after another, and the charging cavalry was constantly overturned.

However, the defense of the officers and troops was all arranged against the infantry, plus the garrison was very large, and there was only one light and heavy machine gun at a distance of several tens of meters.

The dozens of tongues of fire that suddenly opened fire, although they were very violent, could not stop the pace of the cavalry's attack.

After losing a few hundred men, the two cavalry regiments managed to reach a position of 100 meters around the officer's garrison.

The cavalrymen who were still alive immediately held their rifles in one hand and opened fire on the machine-gun positions of the officers and soldiers.

A burst of gunfire rang out, and many of the machine-gun fire points of the officers and soldiers directly became dumb.

Taking advantage of this gap in firepower, the remaining cavalry of the two regiments immediately replaced their rifles with sabers, and screamed and slaughtered the officers and soldiers.

Soon, these howling cavalry slaughtered into the official garrison. The officers and soldiers guarding the position didn't have time to react, and the swords flashing with swords slashed at them.

There are still officers and soldiers left at several fire points! The look of consternation on his face hadn't had time to change, and the bright saber had already cut him in two!

After easily eliminating the machine-gun fire points arranged by the officers and soldiers on the periphery, the remaining officers and soldiers who were only armed with rifles were not cavalry opponents at all! Watching the cavalry rush into the station.
