Zhou Zhongju on the side followed and asked, "Then what did you think of the commander?" ”

"Disadvantage, the disadvantage of the Japanese army ......" Yang Xingguo replied with an affirmative face.

Zhou Zhongju looked disbelieving and asked, "Disadvantage? Commander, the Japanese army is the army of the great powers, do they have a disadvantage? ”

"It wasn't there, but now it is. The biggest disadvantage of the Japanese army now is the lack of troops. No matter which unit is attacked, it is unlikely that it will receive any support in a short period of time. And this gives us a chance to cut off one of its fingers. “

Zhou Zhongju was suddenly stunned and exclaimed: "Commander, you want to annihilate more than 10,000 Japanese troops outside the city?" ”

Yang Xingguo affirmed: "Only by eating this Japanese army can we make the Japanese army understand that today's Liaodong Army is no longer something he can fight if he wants to." If you want to attack our Liaodong Army, you must be prepared to pay huge casualties. ”

"Commander, how are you going to fight?" Zhou Zhongju asked bluntly.

"In a short period of time, it is impossible for the Japanese troops outside the city to receive any support. So, what we have is time to slowly eliminate this Japanese army. ”

"The special operations detachment plus a regiment of the main force ate the two artillery wings reinforced by the Japanese army. Without artillery, the more than 10,000 Japanese troops outside the city were like hungry wolves without fangs, losing their aggressiveness, and we could clean up as we wanted. ”

"Zhang Shanlin, take your people and go out of the city immediately. Go back to the front line in Liaozhong first, and let Zhou Qiangsheng draw out an infantry regiment under your command. As long as you take these two artillery wings, the remaining more than 10,000 infantry will be handed over to me to clean up. ”

Just when Yang Xingguo was about to continue, an exclamation sounded directly in his ears.

"Commander, the Japanese are attacking."

"A devil from an infantry squadron, with a rifle in hand, cautiously touched the city wall.

"This is a tentative attack by the Japanese army. Tell Yuan Lei of the 2nd Regiment to put the Japanese troops closer, don't move the heavy machine guns, and use light machine guns and rifles to eliminate them. Yang Xingguo, who didn't see a little nervousness on his face, ordered with a sneer.

Five minutes later, a messy and dense burst of gunfire rang out over the city.

The Japanese troops, who had already rushed to less than fifty meters from the city wall, were swept to the ground in patches like ripe wheat.

As a tentative offensive force, this squadron had no intention of fighting to the death with the Liaodong Army.

As soon as the guns of the second regiment counterattacked were fired, they began to retreat.

However, no matter how fast the retreat is, the bullets can't fly faster.

Under the pursuit of more than a dozen light machine guns and hundreds of rifles in turn, not a single squadron of Japanese troops ran away.

"Good fight......" Yang Xingguo said with a satisfied face.

"Tell Yuan Lei that you must pay attention to hidden firepower. As long as the Japanese army is not desperate, do not expose all the firepower. Of course, throughout the battle, we must control the casualties, and then we will have a counterattack to fight ......."

The commander of the Japanese division, who was also concerned about the tentative attack, saw that one of his squadrons was so meaninglessly annihilated, and immediately realized that the opponent was not as easy to deal with as he imagined, and it was even a little tricky.

The chief of staff on the side reminded at the right time: "Do you want to wait for the artillery to come before attacking." Without artillery, we have nothing to do with the light and heavy machine guns on the city walls. ”

"To attack Liaoyang City, we must fight quickly and make a quick decision......," the division commander vetoed helplessly.

"After two days of rest, the strength of the troops has been restored. But there was not much ammunition to be replenished, because the commander-in-chief had no ammunition left. Otherwise, the commander-in-chief would not have given us only two artillery wings. ”

"The lack of ammunition and the limited number of troops forced us to fight quickly......

Seeing the chief of staff's expression quickly darkened, the division commander continued to analyze: "There is also the Liaodong Army in the city, the later we attack, the more time they will have to arrange the city defenses and make Liaoyang City more impregnable." ”

"Therefore, we must capture Liaoyang City when the Liaodong Army takes over Liaoyang City and has an unstable foothold."

The chief of staff with a helpless face had to reply: "Hey, division commander, what you said is that we have to fight quickly......"

"However, we don't even know how many heavy machine guns the enemy has placed on the city walls, and how to attack."

"We can only pray that in a short time, there are not many Liaodong troops entering the city. As long as the Liaodong Army is insufficient, we still have hope,......" the division commander replied after thinking about it.

"We had four wings, four gates to attack together. Liaoyang City is so big, it is very troublesome to transfer troops. As long as the defenders are limited, there must be a hole in the defenses. ”

"As long as we find this loophole in the continuous attack, and enter Liaoyang City from the loophole before the defenders send reinforcements, victory is our ......"

The Japanese offensive soon began, and without figuring out the firepower of the defenders, several wings attacked cautiously, sending only two infantry squadrons to attack.

However, the Japanese army provided a lot of heavy machine guns for fire cover, and each wing had two heavy machine gun squadrons and more than 20 heavy machine guns for fire cover.

Someone will ask, where did the Japanese get so many heavy machine guns from.

The answer is simple: the heavy machine guns that were armed with more than 100,000 people before the war are now concentrated on less than 40,000 people. In addition to the heavy machine guns captured from the Russian army, the proportion of heavy machine guns now equipped by the Japanese army is directly more than twice as high.

So many heavy machine guns fired together, and immediately the city was hit with a rain of bullets, sparks flying, and rubble flying.

"The commander of the Japanese division is very clever and knows how to use the advantage of firepower to make up for the disadvantage of his own lack of troops, and he also knows how to divide his forces to attack us and disperse our limited defenders." After listening to the report from the front, Yang Xingguo said with a sneer.

Zhou Zhongju's face was not so good-looking, and he reminded with a worried face: "But, Commander, these two points of the Japanese army are just hitting our soft underbelly." If they did not react, the brothers would have suffered heavy losses even if they held back the Japanese attack. ”

"No problem...... Yang Xingguo affirmed very confidently.

"The Japanese army did not calculate after a thousand calculations, and their two artillery wings could not reach the battlefield at all. Even on the battlefield, not a single shell could be fired. ”

"Without artillery support, the mountain artillery we are equipped with can dominate the entire battlefield."

"There are two field artillery battalions and four mountain artillery batteries in the city. Two field artillery companies were left in case of emergency, and eight companies remained, one field artillery company with one mountain artillery company, to cover the Japanese heavy machine gun positions with artillery fire......"

"As for the battle on the walls, they commanded themselves. I have only one request, to achieve the maximum result with the least casualties. ”

As soon as the eight mountain artillery companies opened fire, the commander of the Japanese division reacted and exclaimed loudly: "It's not good, the Liaodong Army that entered the city is also equipped with artillery." ”

"Division commander, this is just an artillery test firing, is it too late to order the troops to retreat?" The chief of staff hastened to remind.

"Can't retreat, the attacking troops have already rushed to the foot of the city wall, the heavy machine guns are retreating now, the attacking troops will definitely be counterattacked by the defenders, and none of them will be able to escape."

"Then watch as more than twenty heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun squadron are covered by the defenders' artillery fire." The chief of staff shouted with an unwilling expression. (To be continued.) )
