186 A more difficult future
Liu Dart asked in surprise, "What did you say?" You said the Japanese would give away these two highlands! ”
Lin Yuan said: "If my judgment is correct, the defense center of the Japanese is in Shenyang, I have never understood why the Japanese want to establish a defensive position on these two highlands on the west bank of the Liao River, now I have figured it out, the Japanese are likely to adopt a strategy of active defense, these two highlands play the role of early warning and attrition attack, the Japanese are not stupid, the defenders of these two highlands are very few, and they will definitely be wiped out by our superior forces, so what they have to do is just to do some linear resistance, Then he retreated, and now it is very likely that he has retreated. ”
Liu Dart asked, "Then where did they retreat from?" ”
At this time, a scout came to report that five kilometers away from here, several underground caves had been discovered, and the Japanese highland defenders had escaped from the caves, and had now crossed the Liao River and withdrawn to the east bank of the Liao River. ”
Lin Yuan's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Order the troops in the Japanese trenches to withdraw immediately, without delaying for a second!" ”
The herald immediately went to give the order, Liu Dart was just about to ask, he felt the earth shake, and an earth-shaking explosion shook people's ears, and Liu Dart didn't need to ask Liu Dart to understand, the Japanese army detonated the cannonball halfway up the mountain.
Next, there were a series of small explosions, Lin Yuan walked out of the command post and asked the people around him: "Did our troops withdraw in time?" ”
The general beside him replied: "It has already been withdrawn, and a few soldiers have withdrawn slowly, and their ears have been shaken so that they can't hear clearly." ”
Lin Yuan nodded, he looked at the high ground of the Japanese army, and suddenly thought: "It seems that the battle will be difficult to fight in the future!" This high ground is not big, it has already reflected the high level of tunnel digging and the ability of the Japanese army to organize defense, and now I have occupied North Korea, and we will definitely go to North Korea to fight in the future, and the northern part of Korea is all mountainous! When resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the Volunteer Army relied on tunnels and the US military with the most advanced weapons in the world at that time, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was not weak. ”
At this time, Liu Dao's question interrupted Lin Yuan's thoughts, and he asked, "Lin Shuai, will the Japanese attack us at this time?" ”
Lin Yuan shook his head and said: "I don't think so, the Japanese think I'm dead now, and they won't react so quickly, so we have to take this opportunity to cross the Liao River, launch an attack on the east bank, and gain a firm foothold on the east bank of the Liao River." ”
Liu Dart nodded and said, "I'll order the troops of the Right Association to prepare now." ”
Lin Yuan said: "Not only that, you send people to the villagers, prepare more boats, the freezing period of the Liao River is from November to April of the following year, and it is already March, this battle will definitely not be fought within a month, and when the Liao River thaws, if we don't have boats, it will be troublesome!" ”
Liu Dart said: "This is not difficult, there are many fishermen along the Liao River, and their boats can be requisitioned at any time." ”
Lin Yuan said: "Then send someone to do it." ”
Liu Dart immediately left, and asked his men to go down the coast to collect boats, Lin Yuan ordered the soldiers of the Left Association to rest in place, and the soldiers of the Right Association to be ready to cross the river at any time.
Lin Yuan quickly ordered the three battalions of the Right Association to cross the river in batches, and Lin Yuan's command organization responded in the center, following the middle battalion to cross the Liao River and advance to the east bank.
Due to Lin Yuan's strategic deception, the defenders of more than 1,000 people on the east bank of the Liao River did not do anything effective resistance, and after leaving behind hundreds of corpses, they retreated, Lin Yuan led the troops, and soon seized the Japanese military camp on the east bank.
During this day, the Dingwu Army not only conquered the Japanese highlands on the west bank of the Liao River, but also laid down the Japanese military camp on the east bank.
When night fell, Lin Yuan's tent was still lit, and he asked Chen Fei: "Didn't I ask you to transport those two thousand Mauser M1888s last time?" Where did you put it? ”
Chen Fei said: "I put them in Panjin City for the time being, and I want to lead the Dingwu army to approach the Liaohe River, so I don't care about recruiting new soldiers in the Panjin area." ”
Lin Yuan said: "That's good, you will go back to Panjin tomorrow to recruit troops, whether it is the Kaizi Army or the Tiezi Army, or the Dingwu Army, there are too many bad habits of the old-style army in these troops, and there is nothing wrong when you win the battle, but once you encounter a defeat, it is difficult to say what it will become, we still have to build a military of our own, using the standards of our time." ”
Lin Yuan continued: "Let this army be equipped with those weapons we have newly built in Tianjin, and I also asked Zhang Jian to buy advanced optical glass, and let the Machinery Bureau be responsible for assembling new observation and reconnaissance equipment, which should be ready to be shipped to Panjin in the next few days, you have to hurry up and train the troops, there are still a lot of things." ”
Chen Fei said with a smile: "I know that I will set off now, go back to Panjin, recruit troops, and establish a force that sweeps the world, so that I can look like a traverser." ”
Lin Yuan said: "You can rest well today......
Without waiting for Lin Yuan to finish speaking, Chen Fei said: "We have too much work, let's take a break." After speaking, he said goodbye to Lin Yuan and went back to Panjin.
As soon as Lin Yuan left, the Beijing ship sent a message, and Han Mingguang said: "According to your plan, we have just robbed a British transport fleet and obtained a large number of high-quality steel, lead, copper and other raw materials. ”
Lin Yuan asked, "Do those Englishmen know our identity?" ”
Han Mingguang said with a smile: "They shouldn't know that Deng Shichang's fleet did not hang the national flag, and the people on board us were wearing hoods. ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It's still the political commissar comrade who thinks thoughtfully." ”
Han Mingguang's tone sank and said, "However, we have discovered an important situation. ”
Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?" ”
Han Mingguang said: "The Japanese in Shenyang seem to have a lot of secret weapons. ”
Lin Yuan asked, "Where did you learn about the Tao of Lu?" ”
Han Mingguang said: "When we boarded the ship, we found that there was a Japanese in the cabin who was burning the documents, and we snatched the documents and found that only the words "Shenyang" and "secret weapon" were left on the documents. ”
Lin Yuan said: "What about the Japanese? ”
Han Mingguang said: "He committed suicide after burning the documents. ”
Lin Yuan said: "Can the burned documents be restored by technical means?" ”
Han Mingguang said helplessly: "It stands to reason that it is possible to restore such a document, but that was in our time, and our Beijing ship did not have the equipment to do this, so it was impossible to restore the document." ”
After speaking, Lin Yuan and Han Mingguang turned off the communicator, and Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that the Japanese not only have the trick of bunker, but I don't know what their secret weapon is?" ”
Lin Yuan thought about it, walked out of the tent, and saw the dark clouds in the sky, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "If I were the commander of the Japanese army, I would definitely send troops to rob the camp tonight!" ”
