Under the cover of night, the three divisions and six regiments of the Liaodong Army, which had completed the rearmament, left the garrison with only the necessary weapons and ammunition.

Li Zhilong's division of the Fourth Division, although he brought the ten regiments with the strongest combat effectiveness, they were all expanded by supplementing a large number of new soldiers after all. More than forty percent of the soldiers were recruits who had never even been on the battlefield.

With this in mind, Yang Xingguo directly assigned him the closest field artillery regiment to Liaozhong.

A field artillery regiment of the Russian army has 54 field guns, with artillery, baggage troops, and more than 1,500 guard troops.

Originally, this artillery regiment also had an infantry regiment for protection.

However, as the front-line battles continued to lose and the troops suffered heavy losses, the infantry regiment was also transferred to the front, leaving only an infantry battalion of less than 500 men.

Therefore, what Li Zhilong really has to face is these two thousand old Maozi.

Although he has almost 5,000 people in his hands, and there are special operations detachments to help him.

But from the moment he left the station, Li Zhilong's worried heart did not let go.

If on the frontal battlefield, Li Zhilong is confident that the two regiments under his command will definitely be able to eat 2,000 people of a field artillery regiment of the Russian army cleanly.

However, this is in the hinterland of the Russian army, and the task given by the commander is to completely annihilate the enemy, let himself take the news of the artillery regiment, and leak it as late as possible to buy time for himself to transfer artillery.

Just when Li Zhilong was frowning and thinking about a perfect solution, Xiao Bing, who was also thinking about a way, proposed: "Commander, you can only find a way to cover the enemy first, and then quickly launch an attack to give the enemy the maximum damage in a short period of time......" "If we can eliminate the Russian army's guard troops before they react, the remaining artillery and baggage soldiers can't run even if they want to......"

Li Zhilong's eyes lit up and said, "I have seen the artillery of the Russians. Not only is there no combat effectiveness, but they are all soft bones. As long as we put the machine gun in front of them. They must have rushed to surrender to us......"

Li Zhilong, whose brows relaxed a lot, decided after thinking about it.

"That's it. We separated their artillery from the infantry, and destroyed their infantry at the first time, and then the whole army pressed on them, and then destroyed their artillery......"

Xiao Bing then added: "In addition, at least one battalion of troops must be drawn to patrol around the battlefield to eliminate the fish that may slip through the net......"

Under the leadership of the special operations detachment, the 4th Division easily passed through the Russian defense line. It took only four hours to reach a forest less than three miles from the artillery regiment and lurk.

The one, two, and two divisions, which were also led by the special operations detachment, also rushed to their destination before dawn.

The next day. The battle situation was almost exactly the same as Yang Xingguo's inference.

The Japanese were left with no shells.

Only two artillery wings fired at the Russian positions for five minutes before stopping.

After the shelling, it was an infantry attack.

Because there was no such large-scale artillery preparation as yesterday, Sunset also knew that the artillery preparation of the two artillery wings could not be too good. Therefore, at the beginning of the offensive, the Japanese army only sent less than one wing, divided into four routes, and launched a surprise attack on the Russian positions under the cover of a large number of light and heavy machine guns.

After the failure of a round of attacks, the Japanese army did not stop and continued to launch a new round of offensives. Sometimes, the ruthless Japanese will even be in the middle of the attack. Not afraid of accidental injury, he suddenly covered the Russian army with artillery fire and killed and injured their troops as much as possible.

The Japanese and Russian armies fought desperately around the second-line positions of the Russian army. The sound of heavy gunfire has not stopped since the morning.

The Liaodong Army, which was lurking in place, moved.

Li Zhilong, the commander of the Fourth Division, just called all the battalion commanders together and gave an order: "Commander of the Tenth Regiment." You take a battalion to change back to our original military uniforms......" "Our military uniforms are all captured old hairy, wear it." There is no problem at all at all approaching the position ......of the Russian artillery regiment one hundred and fifty meters" "I will give you all the light machine guns equipped with the two regiments, and you will launch a surprise attack on the Russian artillery regiment from a distance of one hundred and fifty meters." Eliminate Lao Maozi's more than 500 infantry ...... protect the artillery regiment"""Other troops, with companies as units, secretly surround the artillery regiment ......""As soon as the battle of the assault battalion started, they launched an attack on the artillery regiment, narrowed the encirclement, and ate his ......""The guard battalion, reconnaissance company, and cavalry company directly under the division headquarters patrolled around the battlefield in platoons to eliminate Lao Maozi's fish that slipped through the net. “

The infantry battalion of the protection artillery regiment was commanded by a lieutenant colonel, deputy commander.

It was a great blessing for the lieutenant colonel to take on such an easy and non-dangerous task.

In two consecutive days of decisive battles, the Russian army has lost tens of thousands of people, including a division commander at the level of a major general. As for lieutenant colonel officers like themselves, there are countless of them.

If he also goes to the battlefield with the main force, the lieutenant colonel does not know whether he will be able to survive to the end of the battle with the tragedy of the battlefield.

Therefore, the lieutenant colonel cherished the opportunity to stay in the rear and enjoyed every bit of time as much as possible.

After all, he also doesn't know when he will be sent to the battlefield to be cannon fodder.

The lieutenant colonel officers who held this idea, except for less than one company left to patrol around the artillery regiment, all the remaining forces were concentrated at the entrance and exit of the artillery regimental position.

Not only that, but most of the soldiers, including themselves, hid in their tents and enjoyed their rare leisure time before the battle.

Soon, the Russian patrol saw a battalion of troops appear at the end of the official road.

Because the assault battalion was wearing the uniform of the Russian army, from a distance, it was almost no different from a battalion of the Russian army.

The Russian army, which was not very attentive to patrolling in the first place, did not even have the idea of sending someone to ask, and waited for the assault battalion to approach the artillery regiment step by step.

"Lao Maozi didn't move at all, he really didn't take us seriously......" The regiment commander who walked at the front of the assault battalion said with a look of disbelief when he saw Lao Maozi's reaction.

And at this moment, a hint of surprise immediately appeared on the face of the regiment leader.

"Since you are so arrogant, then I will let you taste the price of arrogance!" The head of the regiment said to himself.

After thinking about it, he ordered: "Brothers, don't be nervous, Lao Maozi didn't suspect us." Continue to approach them, no one can shoot the target in advance without my orders. After a while, I will take Lao Maozi by surprise, so that they don't know how to die. ”

The patrol soldiers, who did not pay much attention to the protection of the artillery regiment from the beginning, did not expect at all that one battalion that was constantly approaching them was the Liaodong Army.

Therefore, when the assault battalion approached them fifty meters, there were even a few Russian patrols ready to greet the assault battalion, and by the way, ask them if they knew the situation on the front line and whether it was possible for them to be sent to the battlefield......

But at this moment, the unexpected happened.

The assault battalion, which was still on a normal march just now, without any abnormalities, suddenly changed. (To be continued.) )
