Chapter 452 Beginning, censoring, and bombarding the middle!
Under the command of Li Zhilong, the Fourth Division besieged three brigades behind the Japanese army regardless of ammunition loss.
Several regiments led by Yang Xingguo happened to collide with the Japanese troops of the two divisions.
Seeing that the Japanese army had not even arranged the patrol and guarding troops in order to pursue the speed of reinforcements. Yang Xingguo immediately realized that an opportunity to severely damage the Japanese army was coming.
After thinking about it, I immediately called several division commanders to order. "Although the official road at the feet of the Japanese army was repaired, it was still difficult to use heavy artillery. In addition, the Japanese army marched quickly and their artillery troops unknowingly fell to the end of the team!" Also, in the eyes of the Japanese army, our limited main force was besieging the remaining Japanese troops on the Liaoyang battlefield, and they could not draw too much force to deal with them. Therefore, the more than 30,000 Japanese troops in front of us were almost unaware of it!"
"In my opinion, this is an opportunity given to me by God. My opinion is to seize this opportunity and teach the Japanese reinforcements a severe lesson!"
Everyone in the Liaodong Army knew that as long as you follow the commander on the scene, there would be a big battle and a victory.
So, as soon as his decision was made, everyone stared at him with hot eyes, waiting for the order.
"Think about the official road we just passed in the five miles in the front. The terrain on both sides of the official road is wide, three or four hundred meters away from the forest, not far or near, and it is very suitable for cavalry to launch an assault on the official road!" Yang Xingguo pointed to the map and analyzed.
Seeing that everyone was thinking, Yang Xingguo continued: "My idea is to teach the Japanese army a lesson here, to start, censor, and shell the middle, to give the Japanese army a deep lesson!"
"The cavalry division lurked in the forest around the open land. After hearing the sound of the heavy artillery division, it immediately launched an assault on the official road to destroy the two heavy artillery regiments that were walking in the last of the Japanese army. If possible, it will also rush towards their main force, and eliminate as much Japanese troops as they can!"
"There are two regiments left in the heavy artillery division. Build artillery positions on the spot, aim at the official road in front of the open land, and fire whenever I see the signal flare I fired, and bombard the main force of the Japanese army!"
"The infantry of the four regiments were all ambushed into the forests on both sides of the official road two miles in front of the artillery area. I also took my signal as the basis, and took the shortest time to eat the infantry regiment in the front of the Japanese army. Among them, the Second Regiment of the Guard Division was responsible for cutting off the official road between the Japanese vanguard and the main force, and I want to wipe out these thousands of Japanese vanguards."
In less than an hour, tens of thousands of sunsets hurriedly walked into the trap Yang Xingguo prepared for him.
After the three signal flares were launched, the first one to react was the heavy artillery division.
More than seventy heavy artillery on standby, as soon as it roared, more than seventy shells smashed towards the official road with a scream.
Three or four seconds later, a violent explosion rang out on the official road.
"Baga, it's a shelling, and it's a heavy artillery, at least two heavy artillery corps!" Before the two Japanese division commanders walked together could react from the shock, a scream full of fear rang out in their ears.
"It must be the Liaodong Army who sent heavy artillery troops to intercept us!" One of the division commanders made a judgment immediately.
Another division commander frowned and added: "We must find a way to eliminate these heavy artillery troops, otherwise, in the next march, we will be attacked by heavy artillery all the time!"
"I suggest that the two heavy artillery corps fight back on the spot!" the division commander who had just spoken continued.
The Chief of Staff, who received the order, was about to give the order, and the violent and dense gunfire and roar suddenly rang in front and behind them.
"Send someone to investigate immediately, what happened to us!" a division commander subconsciously ordered.
In less than five minutes, the two staff officers rushed over to report in panting.
"The vanguard wing was attacked, and the Liaodong army attacked them had tens of thousands of troops, and they were strong. Please support!"
"The artillery that was walking at the end was attacked by cavalry, and thousands of enemy cavalry were launching assaults at the artillery corps. The artillery was likely to be unable to stop the cavalry's attack!"
The division commander was stunned and asked incredible, "How is that possible? There are more than 10,000 people in front, thousands of cavalry behind, and heavy artillery troops. Then there are more than 20,000 people in Jiangdong surrounding us!"
"Aren't the main forces of the Liaodong Army besieging the Chief of Staff? How could it appear here!"
No one answered the question of the division commander. Not only that, in less than a minute, another bad news came to the division commander's ears: "Cavals, the enemy cavalry have entered the heavy artillery wing, and the heavy artillery wing cannot stop them at all!"
"His division commander, the striker wing suffered heavy losses, the enemy's firepower was too strong, and the soldiers could only be passively beaten and had no chance to counterattack. Please reinforce!"
"The artillery corps is over!" Lieutenant General Yoshizawa, who was appointed as deputy commander by Oyama Iwa, said in a heavy tone.
"Now let the guards wing send troops to reinforce the heavy artillery wing. Is it possible to rescue some heavy artillery and artillery?" Lieutenant General Matsumoto, appointed as commander-in-chief by Oyama Iwa, asked with a last glimmer of hope.
Lieutenant General Yoshize shook his head and replied: "It is better to save the artillery corps than to save the vanguard corps... The artillery corps have no room for fighting in front of thousands of cavalry in the Liaodong Army. When our reinforcements rushed over, the artillery corps will definitely be finished."
"At that time, not only will the artillery not be saved, but even the reinforcements may be attacked by cavalry!"
Lieutenant General Matsumoto's face quickly became gloomy.
Although he was unwilling to accept it, he still ordered: "The guard wing will establish a defense line on the spot and arrange more light and heavy machine guns to prevent the Liaodong cavalry from attacking our main force!"
"Yizawa Jun, you can arrange a wing to reinforce the vanguards. The vanguards must not be destroyed."
While Lieutenant General Yoshizawa received the order loudly, he reminded him: "Mr. Matsumoto, what about the heavy artillery of the Liaodong Army? Can you let them shell us!"
After sighing, Lieutenant General Matsumoto said helplessly: "The heavy artillery position of the Liaodong Army is too far away. The infantry used to be too late. The artillery is now attacked by cavalry again and is unable to take care of itself. Apart from the love of bombing, I really can't think of any other way!"
"But we don't have to worry too much. The heavy artillery is powerful, but the marching speed is very slow!"
"As long as we solve the enemy in front of us and marching to reinforce the Chief of Staff, it will not take long to rush out of the Liaodong Army's heavy artillery range! Order the troops to leave the official road and disperse and hide on the spot. As long as there is no shelling target, their heavy artillery will not be able to be fired for too long."
Lieutenant General Matsumoto cut off his arm and gave up the artillery to organize defense lines on the spot, directly causing the cavalry division's plan to take advantage of the situation to kill the Japanese infantry was shattered.
Of course, this also facilitates the cavalry division to eliminate the Japanese artillery corps to a certain extent.
