Before the chief of staff left, a young staff officer rushed in and reported: "Commander-in-chief, a large number of Liaodong troops have been found around the troops, and there is no battle yet!" ”

As the last glimmer of hope was dashed, the chief of staff's face turned pale, and Leng Leng stood at the door of the tent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Dashan Yan had expected this result for a long time, he couldn't help but be shocked when he actually heard it. Then he immediately ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze, order the troops to assemble immediately and prepare to retreat!" ”

"Hello!" The pale-faced chief of staff hurriedly rushed out of the tent, because of panic, when he rushed to the door of the tent, he almost fell a dog to bite the ****.

Looking at the back of the chief of staff who slowly disappeared, Da Shanyan, who had a gloomy face, couldn't help but mutter: "I hope it's still too late!" ”

But it backfired, and less than five minutes after the chief of staff left, a faint burst of gunfire reached Dashanyan's ears.

The dense gunfire did not ring and stop for a while, but became more and more dense, and there was even the familiar sound of grenades and shells exploding in the middle of the big mountain rock.

Dashanyan immediately realized that the troops that exchanged fire with the Liaodong Army were definitely not reconnaissance troops. Because, only the main forces are qualified to let the Liaodong Army use grenades and artillery.

But how did the Liaodong Army bypass the reconnaissance troops around the barracks and directly collide with the main force. In the eyes of Dashan Yan, this is another mystery.

Because the point of exchange of fire was too far away from him, Dashanyan, who couldn't tell too much news from the sound of gunfire, could only wait.

In less than five minutes, the chief of staff rushed in with a panicked face and reported.

"Commander-in-chief, the Liaodong Army has raided the troops we are building a road, which is nearly five kilometers away from the main force. The Liaodong Army had at least one regiment, and the official road for our retreat was blocked by the Liaodong Army. ”

"Five kilometers!" Dashan Iwa quickly shifted his gaze to the map.

was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized and analyzed: "I understand, that is the position of the Liaodong Army that we occupied a few days ago, as long as the Liaodong Army kills it, there will be two trenches that can be used directly." ”

"Eight Geya Road, the Liaodong Army is too cunning, it wants to leave all of us here, and it doesn't even want to dig trenches!"

The chief of staff at this time very much regretted that he had not ordered the troops to retreat directly a few hours earlier.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, what he can do is to make up for the loss as much as possible while he is still alive.

Seeing that Dashan Yan frowned and didn't speak after scolding, the chief of staff hurriedly said what he thought.

"Commander-in-chief, I immediately order a brigade to march quickly to kill it, and break through their defense line while the Liaodong Army is not firmly established."

"There is only one regiment of the Liaodong Army in front of us, and we still have hope."

"Yo Xi!" Seeing that the chief of staff had finally resumed his previous decision to kill, Dashan Yan was satisfied and added.

"Also, send a telegram to the artillerymen in the back and let them move closer to us. If the breakthrough does not go out, but as long as the artillery comes. We can go back. ”

When the devil's artillery received the order to move closer to Dashanyan, because of the order to stop the attack of Dashanyan two days ago, more than 40,000 people were stationed in a wasteland next to the official road, waiting for the main force to retreat.

The infantry of one division was stationed in the outermost part of the division in large units, the baggage units and engineering units were stationed in wings at a point in the interior, and two heavy artillery brigades and several artillery wings were stationed in the middle.

Not only that, but the two or three hundred artillery pieces, except for the more than 100 heavy guns still wearing gun jackets, the remaining nearly 200 mountain field guns were all erected in the garrison, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed directly around the garrison to provide artillery cover for the infantry on the periphery at any time.

In addition, the three cavalry wings left behind by Dashan Rock, more than 2,000 cavalry constantly patrolled around the garrison in squadrons. In the eyes of the Japanese army, the entire garrison was as if the iron pass was unbreakable in the past. No matter how many troops the Liaodong Army used, it was impossible to break through.

Relying on careful deployment, coupled with the fact that there was no Liaodong Army to attack them in the past two days, the Japanese troops here have slowly relaxed their vigilance from the beginning.

But even so, the number of cavalry patrols around the garrison did not decrease in any way.

In the words of the commander of the division left behind, no matter how relaxed the troops in the garrison were, as long as the cavalry wing could detect the enemy situation in advance, the garrison would have enough time to react and deliver a lethal attack to the troops attacking them.

Li Zhilong, who wanted to eat the devil artillery, because the special operations detachment had already found out the situation of the devil. Therefore, from the moment he decided to attack the devil artillery, Li Zhilong understood that there must be a tough battle to be fought next.

As the commander-in-chief, what he needs to do is to find holes in the Japanese defense and reduce losses as much as possible.

Therefore, although the tens of thousands of main forces in his hands all arrived on the battlefield, Li Zhilong did not give the order to attack.

He was waiting for the devil to show his flaws, unless it was a last resort, Li Zhilong would never order the troops to storm the devil's station.

As the battle to block the Japanese infantry began, Li Zhilong knew that the devil had little time left for him.

In order to relieve the pressure on the blocking troops, he had to launch an attack on the current Japanese army within two or three hours.

However, so far, the well-defended devils have not shown any flaws. Just when Li Zhilong hesitated, whether the troops were going to storm the devil's station.

A group leader of the special operations detachment, which had replaced the reconnaissance unit, suddenly rushed into the temporary headquarters.

"Detachment leader, commanders, the devil cavalry has moved!"

"More than 2,000 devil cavalry are assembling to the garrison, and their military camp has become lively, with a posture of assembling and pulling out, and even the artillery preparing for war has been moved, and the horses have been put on."

Li Zhilong frowned, and immediately asked Zhang Shanlin next to him: "The little devil is now gathering to retreat or to reinforce the more than 20,000 infantry who were stopped by us." ”

Zhang Shanlin replied with a relaxed face: "No matter what their purpose is, but I know that our opportunity has come." ”

"No matter how tightly the devil's station is arranged, it will be full of loopholes when retreating and transferring, and it is the most unvigilant. If we suddenly launch an attack at this time, we will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

Li Zhilong also reacted, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered: "That's it!" It doesn't matter what the purpose of their gathering is, as long as we destroy them, it doesn't matter what the purpose is! ”

"The special operations detachment will continue to investigate every move of the Japanese army, and report the situation as soon as possible. Therefore, officers above the division level will immediately come here for a meeting, and we will have a fight! ”

After the Japanese army's every move was continuously sent to Li Zhilong, a very bold plan also appeared in Li Zhilong's mind.

For the sake of an attack, he strangled with the devils and made the devil artillery useless.

Of the more than 30,000 main forces brought over by Li Zhilong, almost all of them had combat missions, and all of them participated in the battle, and they did not even leave reserves. (To be continued.) )
