More than 20,000 Liaodong troops, plus the heavy cannons, could not forget the side of the marching army at a glance, and lined up for seven or eight kilometers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After a four-hour march, more than 20,000 people began to stop for lunch to replenish their strength.

At this time, the latest news about the defenders of Fengcheng had been sent to Yang Xingguo by the special operations detachment.

After reading the information, Yang Xingguo immediately summoned the three division commanders and arranged combat missions.

"According to the reconnaissance of the special operations detachment, the Japanese army strengthened the garrison of Fengcheng a month ago......"

"Now, Fengcheng has a total of one infantry wing, one baggage wing, and one field artillery brigade for the defenders, with a total of more than 5,000 people......"

"My idea is to gather heavy troops to launch an attack on Fengcheng, and create an illusion for the defenders of Fengcheng that our main force is all in Fengcheng, and Fengcheng is in danger, and it may be broken at any time."

"Not surprisingly, after receiving the news that Fengcheng has been attacked and is in danger, the two main divisions of the Japanese army that have just arrived in Liaoyang will definitely reinforce Fengcheng as soon as possible......"

And what we need to do is to find a way to ambush them on the reinforcement road of the two divisions of the Japanese army, kill and wound their troops as much as possible, and reduce the huge pressure we may face in the decisive battle! ”

I saw that the three people all had expectant and serious expressions on their faces, and their eyes were burning at themselves. Yang Xingguo ordered decisively.

"Division Commander Wang, there are still two regiments left in your first division, and I will give you all the mountain artillery of the three divisions and the field artillery battalion of the heavy artillery regiment. It's up to you to attack Fengcheng with illness. The whole attack must be fought with more than 20,000 people, so that the defenders of Fengcheng feel scared......"

Zhang Hu's eyes lit up, and he replied loudly: "Please rest assured, the commander, the first division is guaranteed to cause the task ......."

Yang Xingguo nodded, immediately shifted his gaze to Zhao Zhigang and Zhou Qiangsheng, and continued to order.

"Master Zhou, Master Zhao, you two divisions will act with me...... After dark, the Japanese army secretly lurked on the road from Liaoyang to Fengcheng. Combat fighters, hit one or two ambushes of Japanese reinforcements......"

"In addition, except for the two squadrons of the special effects detachment, they have already managed to infiltrate Fengcheng and wait for orders. The internal and external flanking attacks took the outside of Fengcheng. The remaining brigade had already infiltrated Liaoyang, staring at the two main divisions that the Japanese had just transferred from the country. ”

"So, from now on, every move of these two divisions will not escape my eyes...... As long as we are patient, there will definitely be fighters ......"

It was six o'clock in the evening of the same day. After a day of hurrying, Zhang Hu finally saw the looming city wall of Fengcheng.

After taking a deep breath, he ordered to several regimental commanders: "Time is limited, we can only rest while fighting, eat dinner, and tell our brothers that we will work hard at night......"

"The first battalion of the second regiment, the second battalion, bring a field artillery battalion, Lao Li, you command. Give me a detour to the east of Fengcheng and launch an attack. After the start of the offensive. Give me a little bit of a fight, and play the posture of two main groups. ”

"The first battalion of the third regiment, the second battalion, the troops directly under the regiment, bring a field artillery battalion, Lao Luo, you command, go around to the south gate of Fengcheng to launch an attack, and also give me the posture of two main regiments......"

"I commanded all the other troops, launched an attack from the West Gate, and came out with the posture of a main division......"

"It's six o'clock. At eight o'clock in the evening, the attack was launched on time...... Get started now. ”

Under the cover of night, the Japanese troops defending Fengcheng did not perceive that the danger was approaching.

Until the more than 100 field cannons brought by Zhang Hu were fired, the piercing whistling sound of breaking the air reached the ears of every Japanese soldier in Fengcheng.

The Japanese troops, who had already begun to rest, knew that they were under attack. Then, chickens and dogs jumped into chaos, ready to fight.

The captain of the Japanese infantry wing who defended Fengcheng was undoubtedly the best commander of the Japanese army in Fengcheng.

When he hurriedly walked into the headquarters in a military coat, the artillery attack of the Liaodong Army on Fengcheng had lasted for five minutes.

Just walked into the command headquarters. The chief of staff reported with a solemn face.

"Wing Commander, it has been found that it was the Liaodong Army ...... who attacked us."

"Around Fengcheng, we found at least 20,000 Liaodong troops...... Also, the Liaodong Army is equipped with a lot of artillery, more than a hundred. In just a few minutes, more than half of our three squadrons defending the three walls were blown up and we were in dire need of reinforcements......"

"Not surprisingly, the Liaodong Army must have taken a fancy to the supplies, weapons and ammunition we have hoarded in Fengcheng. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Liaodong Army to dispatch so many troops and travel dozens of kilometers all the way to attack us. ”

The sound of violent shell explosions rings in my ears, and I can't fake it.

If the Liaodong Army did not have 20,000 men, how could it be equipped with so many artillery.

Therefore, the Japanese wing commander affirmed the judgment of the chief of staff without thinking about it.

With a frown, he asked, "What about the other troops?" Have you completed the assembly and are ready for battle......"

"Hey......" the chief of staff affirmed......

"The four brigades under the wing are all ready for battle, and the baggage wing and field artillery brigade are also all equipped with weapons and ready to be ......put into battle at any time."

"Yo Xi ......" The wing captain ordered decisively while looking satisfied.

"The 123 brigades reinforce the east, west, and south directions respectively. Other units act as reserves, ready to go into battle......"

"Also, the Liaodong army is strong, and even if we all fight out, we won't be able to hold out for too long. Therefore, we must immediately send people to the General Headquarters for help and try to hold out until reinforcements arrive......"

"We already have a logistics base that has been captured by the Liaodong Army, and this logistics base can no longer be lost. Otherwise, more than 100,000 officers and men of the Imperial Army on the front line may run out of food and supply at any time......"

At the Japanese Headquarters, three or four hours ago, the Japanese Commander-in-Chief, Dashanyan, learned from the reconnaissance unit that the 20,000-strong army of the Liaodong Army was attacking and advancing towards Fengcheng.

A day ago, Dashanyan and his chief of staff had made a very firm judgment that the Liaodong Army would definitely rest in place for a few days.

It was only a dozen hours before the situation changed.

The Liaodong Army, which had been fighting for two days in a row, not only did not rest, but put on a posture of a long-distance attack on its own weakness.

Faced with this shocking news, Dashanyan's first reaction was shock. And after the shock, I began to worry.

Because Fengcheng is too heavy for the current Japanese army, losing Fengcheng, the Japanese army will need at least three more months of preparation time before they can hoard enough supplies, weapons and ammunition to have the strength to fight a decisive battle with the Russian army.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Dashanyan didn't care why the Liaodong Army pointed its troops at Fengcheng. subconsciously prepared to transfer troops to reinforce Fengcheng, and surround the Liaodong Army around Fengcheng to eliminate them.

However, at this moment, news also came from the troops on the front line who were confronting Lao Maozi.

The Russian troops stationed in Liaoyang are carrying out large-scale military movements and are ready to launch a counteroffensive against themselves at any time.

Compared to Fengcheng, the front line is obviously more important.

Therefore, Dashanyan immediately broke off the idea of transferring troops from the front line to reinforce Fengcheng.

Just then, the chief of staff came. (To be continued.) )
