Chen Xin turned his head, looked at Chief of Staff Liu's company carefully, and said, "Tell me about your plan in detail." ”

"The subordinate plans for the assault troops to attack at 10 a.m., when the time will be a sudden artillery attack on the entire front of our army, and there will be a feint attack by other infantry units to contain the main force of the Tartars.

The combat engineer company has 200 people, and 200 people in four special service platoons, a total of 400 soldiers, of which in addition to one rifle and four grenades per person, are also equipped with a large number of explosives packs, mines, broadsword anti-infantry mines and a large number of weapons.

As long as you fight quickly and leave quickly, you can ensure the safety of this assault force, but just in case, I still hope that you will join the guard flag team of a company under your command and help take care of the response. ”

While listening, Chen Xin drew the entire action map in his mind through Lao Bai, and then, he said: "Your plan, there is one point to be modified, and 4 more spy platoons will be added, they are good at fighting this kind of battle, and all of them can be sent out to exert their maximum power."

If the surprise attack of the combat engineer company is effective, then seize the opportunity to expand the scope of this attack, in short, everything is aimed at killing and wounding the living force of the Jin army, and it is necessary to inflict heavy damage on the enemy's middle troops.

In particular, it is necessary to strive for the complete destruction of the small-caliber copper infantry guns placed in the middle of the Tartar area, which pose the greatest threat to our army in the Houjin army.

The Eight Banners of the Tartars have their own belongings, and the soldiers are generals, although there is no Huang Taiji now, but Dolgon still occupies the absolute advantage in Houjin, and if we want to fight, we will hurt one of them.

If you target Dolgon, you will not only be able to hit Dolgon's forces and change the situation in Houjin, but you will also be able to make others afraid, as long as their momentum is reduced, no matter what method they use to attack, it will not be possible to defeat our army. ”

····················

After the fighting had subsided a little, Chen Xin returned to his station under the north wall, and the commanders of Zachdan, Fu Yan, and the 11th Infantry Brigade all rushed back on time to report for duty, and together with Chen Xin, summed up today's battle situation and arranged military operations for the night and tomorrow.

Today was the first time the Tartars had attacked with all their might, and the results of the first day were satisfactory to him.

According to calculations, Houjin has probably paid more than 4,000 casualties, and Houjin's medical ability, those wounded are absolutely unable to be saved by themselves.

This kind of coated slave, as the largest class in the Houjin, is also an extremely important labor force for the Houjin, and it is indeed good to lose so much.

In addition to the major losses of these coated minions, there were probably nearly 1,000 Mongol archers and at least 500 Jurchen Tatars on the Tartar side.

In the firefight with the Tartars, the firepower advantage of the Chinese side is still very obvious. The casualties of the Huaxia Army exceeded 100 people, but fortunately, because the soldiers of the Huaxia Army were all equipped with combat vests and bulletproof steel plates, the number of casualties was only in single digits.

The casualty exchange ratio between the enemy and us is far more than 50 to 1, and if this exchange ratio is insisted on, the Houjin army under the leadership of Dorgon will definitely not last long.

Later, when the rammed earth walls of the Houjin soldiers are completely formed, a period of confrontation will enter between the enemy and us, and the focus of the battle between the enemy and us will be changed to a tug-of-war between the trenches.

And if you want to talk about the entire battlefield in southern Liaoning, then there will be a long-term sabotage battle on the communication line to be fought.

Chen Xin had already prepared for this, and the small boats of the coast guard would carry a small detachment composed of the Chinese Army Ranger Regiment and the Special Service Regiment to land in the area between Gaizhou, Fuzhou, and Jinzhou.

In addition to the two veteran special units, some of these detachments are composed of the mountain infantry regiment and the intelligence department's operational team, which are currently experimenting.

In a word, these small detachments of them will work hard in the vast area between Gaizhou and Jinzhou to strike at the enemy's transportation lines. These horses will contain several times the strength of the Houjin army with small troops, so that the soldiers and horses under the command of Dolgon seem to be overstretched and unable to fully devote themselves to the Lushun defense line.

In the name of Chief of Staff of the Headquarters of the Southern Liaoning Expeditionary Force, Chief of Staff Liu organized and deployed the night raid.

Chen Xin had long since created the posts of staff officers and chief of staff in the establishment of various levels, hoping to cultivate a sense of collective command in each battalion and put an end to the malpractice of individual command in the feudal era.

It's just that ordinary staff officers can teach martial arts in batches, and it is very rare to be able to become a chief of staff at or above the brigade level.

Chief of Staff Liu used to be one of his adjutants, and his learning ability was relatively strong in the martial arts hall, and there was no problem in terms of loyalty, so he was one of the key training targets of Chen Xin.

The Battle of Arthur was also an opportunity to strengthen his authority and let the role of the post of chief of staff penetrate into all combat units.

After Chief of Staff Liu had finished arranging the plan for the night attack, Chen Xin carefully advised: "The soldiers of the Houjin Army are now building rammed earth walls in order to be able to obtain good cover and make it easier for them to gather troops nearby.

From now on, battles may break out at any time in the future, and every day, at any time, our army's defense line is in danger, and everyone must make good arrangements for the rotation of soldiers.

In order to give full play to the advantages of our army as a defensive suit, and to recuperate well, all officers are the key to this operation, and we must also pay attention to using our time to rest.

I will say that a general who does not rest is by no means a good general. ”

After the early hours of the morning, the front of the Houjin army still had no intention of stopping, and the clothed minions were still busy under the spur of leather whips and knives.

From time to time, burning torches flew out of the rammed earth walls, and fell far into the area of the pit in front of them, which was one of the means used by the Tartars to observe whether there was a night attack by the Chinese army.

On the front line of the Huaxia Army, there was silence, and occasionally a gunshot suddenly came out, but before the soldiers of the Jin Army could counterattack, they disappeared again into the dark night and disappeared without a trace.

Chen Xin hadn't fallen asleep yet, although he was also very tired, but he couldn't help but wonder if there was anything missing in the battle plan, and how to further draw reinforcements to join this battle without affecting the expansion in other directions.
