Chapter 316: Turning Defeat into Victory?

"The Japanese army has more than 100,000 people on the front line, but these are all ...... against Lao Maozi"

"In the case that there is no longer a superiority in troops, as long as he dares to draw even one wing of strength from the defensive line. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Then there will be a huge gap in the entire line of defense of the Japanese army. ”

"The old Maozi who confronted them is not a fool, he will definitely seize this opportunity and pounce on the gap......"

"At that time, more than 100,000 Japanese troops may collapse on the entire front because of the departure of one infantry wing......"

"And he had to go to the rescue of the logistics base of Fengcheng, and at that time, the only army that the Japanese could show their hands on was the two divisions that had entered Liaodong......"

"In this way, the main forces of these two divisions will be dragged by us in the area of Fengcheng. And what we need to face in our base area is probably one or two infantry wings under these two divisions......"

Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo had already made a decision, and decisively ordered Sun Liechen: "Immediately notify the officers above the regiment level, and quickly come forward to point out, I will hold a meeting and issue specific combat tasks......

The news that the Japanese General Headquarters and the eight checkpoints and fortresses heavily defended by themselves have been captured by the Liaodong Army and the defenders have been wiped out one after another.

When the last stronghold was occupied by the Liaodong Army and the news of the annihilation of more than 2,000 defenders reached the ears of the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief was already numb.

In the past two days, he has heard more than a dozen such bad news, large and small.

At the beginning, he still had the temper and physical strength to scold the Liaodong Army. has been many times, and he is already tired, even if he wants to scold, he can't say it.

After waving his hand to signal the staff officer to leave, the commander-in-chief asked the chief of staff directly in his tired voice: "How many people have we lost in the past two days......

"Four infantry wings, one field artillery wing, and one field artillery brigade, a total of more than 14,500 people......," the chief of staff replied in a whisper.

"Eight Geya Road, one division, another division is gone...... Why. Why did the Liaodong Army launch an attack at this time, and why couldn't it be a few days late......" The Japanese commander-in-chief muttered to himself with an unwilling face.

After finishing, he did not forget his identity and continued to ask the chief of staff.

"What about the Liaodong Army? The losses of the Liaodong Army were not large...... And also. What is the Liaodong Army doing now? Is it possible to continue the offensive against us......"

"This ......" the chief of staff immediately hesitated.

The commander-in-chief glared at a pair of eyes and scolded: "Baga, there is not a single division and regiment, what else is there to say......

"Hi ......"

"According to the reports of the reconnaissance troops we sent out and the soldiers who broke through from various strongholds, the losses of the Liaodong Army were very small......"

"The reason why we have destroyed so much is that we have suffered a big loss from the dispersion of our troops......

The commander-in-chief looked incredulous and asked, "Impossible." When pigs fly...... Even if our forces are scattered, we can inflict a lot of casualties on the Liaodong Army......"

"Don't forget, more than half of the Liaodong Army that attacked us were recruits, and recruits who had never been on the battlefield......"

"Our warriors on the battlefield can easily defeat them even if they face five, nay, against ten recruits......"

The chief of staff replied with a look of embarrassment: "That's true, but you forgot it, commander-in-chief...... In addition to having a large number of recruits, the Liaodong Army had a large number of recruits. They also have artillery ...... of no less than two field artillery wings"

"No matter how powerful our warriors are, they will become vulnerable in the face of steel cannonballs......"

"There are also light and heavy machine guns, according to reconnaissance, with the same strength, the light and heavy firepower of the Liaodong Army is more than twice as much as ours......"

"In normal battles, the offensive of the Liaodong Army is not to attack with men, but to attack with artillery shells and heavy machine gun bullets......"

Hearing this, the commander-in-chief was directly silent.

After a full five minutes, he continued to ask, "What is the Liaodong Army doing now?" ”

"After capturing our stronghold, it stopped. Now we have more than a brigade of reconnaissance units monitoring them. They make every move. The reconnaissance team will send the news back as soon as possible......"

"Until now, we have not received any news of the transfer of the Liaodong Army......"

At this time, the commander-in-chief's mind had become a mess, and after thinking about it, he asked the chief of staff.

"Could it be that the Liaodong Army intends to hold on to these strongholds and not leave...... Chief of staff. What is your judgment on the next move of the Liaodong Army......"

"Stop and recuperate, and digest the unexpected results you have just achieved......" the chief of staff replied with a hesitant expression.

The commander-in-chief nodded and asked, "Reason?" ”

"There are two reasons...... "The chief of staff replied after a moment's thought.

"First, although the losses of the Liaodong Army on the battlefield were small, after all, after two days of continuous fighting. With such a high-intensity battle, even veterans can't stand it, not to mention the Liaodong Army, which accounts for more than half of the recruits......"

"Second. For the Liaodong Army, which has the idea of training, it is already an unexpected joy to be able to take these eight checkpoints and destroy more than 10,000 of our warriors. If they are not satisfied, they continue to be greedy, and with the current strength of the Liaodong Army, they will be supported to death. ”

The commander-in-chief with a frown suddenly thought of something, and subconsciously interrupted: "Are you sure that the Liaodong Army will rest in these strongholds in the next few days......"

"I'm eighty percent sure, but I'm not sure about the time, but four or five days should be there......," the chief of staff replied with a hesitant expression.

At this time, the commander-in-chief showed a sneer on his face very unexpectedly, and said excitedly: "Four or five days is enough......

"Didn't the Liaodong Army give me a break, this time, I also let the Liaodong Army suffer a loss in the division of troops, and also give them a break, recapture the checkpoint fortress that just lost, and by the way, wipe out the main force of the Liaodong Army in these checkpoint fortresses at one time......"

Hearing this, the chief of staff's eyes also lit up, and asked with excitement.

"Commander, you want to repay the other in the way of others...... I see, you plan to use the two main divisions that are about to arrive in the country to attack these checkpoint fortresses......"

"While the main forces of the Liaodong Army are still scattered in these checkpoints, break them down individually and destroy them......"

"Commander-in-Chief Mingming, this method is too good, as long as the situation on the battlefield does not change, the final victory must belong to us......"

The commander-in-chief's face was quickly covered with a thick sense of confidence, and he ordered to the chief of staff: "Then what are you still doing?" Immediately contact the two divisions that came from the country for reinforcements. Speed up the march and make sure to get here before it gets dark tomorrow......"

"The troops rest for a night, and the morning after tomorrow, they will directly pounce on these checkpoints and fortresses, without giving the Liaodong Army any chance to react." (To be continued.) )
