Chapter 121: Blocking the Japanese Army

The huge roar with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke rushed in, which made Liu Jun frown, but now he didn't care about these pungent smells, but raised the telescope in his hand, crawled at the mouth of the bunker, and observed the city intently.

Except for the explosion, there didn't seem to be anything, which made Liu Jun a little nervous.

Grain and grass are easy to ignite, and if they ignite, then thick smoke is absolutely indispensable, but now, fifty artillery pieces are bombarded, except for the flying rubble tiles, there is nothing else, not even smoke.

There is no smoke, which can only show one problem, there is no concentration of grain and grass for the Japanese army.

Boom...... Boom...... The artillery began the third salvo.

Boom, there was a huge explosion, and then a small mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and then, billowing smoke rushed out of the sky, shrouding half of Liaoyang in darkness.

The huge flames turned Liu Jun and the people around him red. So everyone stopped and looked at the huge mushroom cloud in the city in amazement.

What's in the bomb? Liu Jun unbuttoned the two buttons, full of doubts in his heart.

"Head, it looks like it was blown up." Zhong Lin pointed to a direction, and he knew very well that it was part of the green smoke yesterday.

Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Liu Jun took a look.

Well, it should be grain and grass, this smoke mixed with the black smoke from the explosion just now, is soaring into the sky, but it is also easy to identify, cyan smoke.

I inhaled a few times with my nose, and the pungent smell of gunpowder became more and more like some rice.

Phew, Liu Jun let out a long breath, he was sure that the grain and grass had won the bid.

Now that the grain and grass have won the bid, the next question. It's a question of how to block the Japanese army. He dared to guarantee that the Japanese army would never give him much time without food and grass. When the time comes, he will definitely break through like crazy, and what he has to do is how to beat the Japanese army back.

Turning his head, Liu Jun took a look at the skyrocketing Liaoyang City and the artillery that was still shelling.

Let go of the telescope in your hand. Liu Jun said lightly: "Order the commanders of all armies to immediately go to the marshal camp for a meeting."

Liaoyang City is now full of fire, and there are wails and screams of wounded Japanese soldiers everywhere, and many Japanese soldiers are constantly shuttling back and forth, dodging the shells that rush to the sky.

Boom, another shell, exploded in a house not far away. The blast wave of the explosion shattered the gate and scattered it in all directions. Two Japanese soldiers who were rescuing nearby were hit on the spot by flying wooden planks. He collapsed limply.

In front of a house in the northeast corner that was burning violently, the old face of the First Army commander Yama Youpeng was now extremely distorted. With blood-red eyes wide, he was looking at everything in front of him in a daze.

And behind him, the commander of the 1st Division, Motoji Yamachi, and the soldiers who were crowded there all opened their mouths wide in amazement, looking at the burning houses in front of them.

Crackling, a wooden beam could not withstand the fire and collapsed. The loud noise finally woke up Youpeng in Shanxian who had been standing there in a daze for a long time.

"Yaga, Yaga." Shan County Youpeng began to shout angrily, and began to pull out his waist knife like a madman, and looked fiercely at the pyre in front of him that was saved from the flames of war.

The knife was very sharp, and the firewood the thickness of the baby's arm was cut in two with a knife.

"Fight the fire." The sound of hissing cracking lungs. It took a long time for it to erupt from the old throat. There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, as well as fear and resentment.

"Quick, put out the fire." Motoji Yamachi finally reacted and began to call for soldiers to put out the fire.

Boom, the Japanese soldiers who were crowded together just now were like the frightened Xiaoqiang, and they scattered in a hurry, looking for the guy who was fighting the fire.

This can't be blamed on the Japanese army not panicking, this house is the place where the Japanese army loads grain and grass, without grain and grass, more than 20,000 people in the city will starve to death.

When Liu Jun launched the shelling, Youpeng of Shan County had just gotten up and was about to go to the living room to have some breakfast, but the successive explosions made him tremble all of a sudden, and he heard that the direction of the explosion was the northeast, and where was his arsenal and grain and grass.

I didn't have the desire to eat breakfast, so I ran out in a panic and rode my horse to get here, but it was still a step too late.

Grain and grass have been blown up, a raging fire is rising, and an ammunition depot. was also hit by a shell, a huge explosion and heat wave, and the three hundred or so people inside were blown up without a trace on the spot.

Watching everyone burn more and more, it has already ignited the houses next to them.

It's over, Shan County Youpeng closed his eyes in pain.

After a while, he opened his eyes, looked at the smoky black African mountain Genji standing in front of him, and pretended to be calm and said: "Immediately count the ammunition and food and grass and notify the officers above the wing to hold a meeting." ”

In the camp of the Qing army, Liu Jun looked at the generals of the various armies standing in front of him with his eyes. Rounded the tour. Liu Jun raised his voice: "Do you understand?" ”

"Understood," replied resoundingly.

Liu Jun was very satisfied with this answer, but he still knocked on the Nanmu table next to him, and suddenly said with a fierce light in his eyes: "Lao Tzu is reminding you again, if anyone loses his position, he doesn't have to come back to see me." ”

"Order." After everyone gave up their hands to show their understanding, they began to withdraw from the camp and go to the position with Liu Jun's acquiescence.

Zhong Lin saw that everyone walked out, and asked suspiciously: "Head, if they lose their position, do you really want to kill?" ”

"Yes." Liu Jun, who closed his eyes, nodded.

He didn't want to give such an order, but he had to give it.

The grain and grass of the Japanese army in Liaoyang were destroyed, and Youpeng in Shanxian would definitely order the troops to break through at all costs. At this time, whether or not the Japanese counterattack can be blocked is the key to the victory of the Liaoyang Campaign.

Block the Japanese army, then the Japanese army will retreat to Liaoyang again, and when the time comes. There are only two ways for them, either surrender or starve to death or die in battle.

If they can't stop the Japanese army, the Japanese army will break through, and the devil knows that they will flee to that place to plague the people.

In order to completely annihilate these two divisions and the people from suffering from this, Liu Jun had to give these old fritters a death order. Whoever loses his position will die. Whoever dares to flee will be captured at the ends of the earth.

"Where is Zhang Debiao's army, you ask Zhang Yi to draw a regiment to help him." After thinking for a while, Liu Jun felt that Sheng Jun was such a mess, if there was no help from the Lushun Army, he would definitely turn around and run.

Zhong Lin nodded, approached Liu Jun and said, "Do you want to organize a team of supervisors?" ”

The supervision team was set up by Liu Jun in the first battle of Lushun for fear of the Qing army's escape, but after that battle, the Lushun army was not afraid of the Japanese army, so it did not set up a supervision team during the war. "You can do it." Liu Jun heard the words of the battle team, thought about it carefully, and still thought it was necessary, after all, these Qing troops were not the Lushun army, and they could be deterred from behind.

Zhong Lin's overseer team was very large, with three hundred people. All of them are tigers with bears' waists, and they are holding deep ghost head knives in their hands. And two machine guns were specially tuned. It was placed behind the Qing army's position. Look at the meaning, once the war starts, whoever dares to retreat, the gun will not recognize people.

The Qing Army's Forward Position Headquarters, which is a temporary cut down of some trees built simply, although very rough, but very strong, just take the sack on it, there are several layers. And around him, there are also layers of sacks piled up around, and a lot of branches are specially cut down to cover it. There is only one bunker mouth about a meter wide. Easy to observe.

Around the headquarters, two Grimm machine guns and a company of Arthur troops were tightly surrounded by the headquarters to be armed. Deal with nearby enemies at any time,

This is Liu Jun's headquarters. It was also set up by Zhong Lin. Yesterday, after letting the commanders of the various armies enter the position, Liu Jun told Zhong Lin to set up a command headquarters in the front place to facilitate his own command.

Liu Jun knows that if you want people to sell your life to you, don't shrink back like a turtle. Therefore, he decided to set up the headquarters only five hundred meters away from the front-line position, and he just wanted to let the Qing army know. Lao Tzu is with you.

Liu Jun was very satisfied with this arrangement, laughed a few times, and walked into this headquarters that was as strong as a tank. Lots of space inside. It is about ten meters wide. And it's also translucent. On the wooden wall on the right and on the table in the middle, military maps are placed.

After praising Zhong Lin, who was smiling with joy, Liu Jun came to the bunker and took the telescope from Zhong Lin's hand. Began to observe the situation of the position.

From here, the main positions of the Qing army can be seen clearly.

The position of the Qing army is now very different from when Liu Jun first came. When I first came, except for the Lushun army, which had trenches, the rest of the armies were crawling on the ground. This made Liu Jun unacceptable.

After all, crawling on the ground, far from being commissioned in the trenches, so that night, he held a meeting and asked the generals of the army to visit the positions of the Lushun army and immediately go back to imitate them.

Now look at the positions with a clear eye, trenches, barbed wire. Machine gun emplacements. Artillery bunkers. Liu Jun was very satisfied in his heart, at least when the Qing army was bombarded by the Japanese army, the losses would not be too great.
