In Haicheng, in the Manchurian Army Commander-in-Chief Dashanyan stood in front of the map, studying how to send troops to attack the Russian army once Liu Zhenming's Liaoyang Reclamation Area is captured. 721!
Solving Liu Zhenming is equivalent to solving his worries.
Although he didn't take Liu Zhenming seriously, he would still be very unhappy if there was an uncontrolled armed force in the occupied land and would come to disturb him from time to time.
As he was watching, a telegrapher walked in quickly and reported in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, the 2nd Division called urgently."
"Ignore!" Dashanyan's eyes did not leave the map, but waved his hand gently.
The telegrapher opened the telegram with both hands, and his expression immediately became colorful. He thought of both surprise and disbelief: "There are Russian artillery in the enemy reclamation area. When his artillery attacked, only nine artillery pieces remained, and he asked for tactical support."
"What?" Dashanyan could hardly believe his ears, turned around, grabbed the telegram, and read it several times.
During the Russian War, an infantry division of the Ri army had an artillery corps. Unlike the infantry organization, there were six artillery squadrons. Each squadron had 6 artillery pieces, which was 36 pieces in total. For example, the 2nd Division had seized some.
The Russian army's cannons had about forty cannons.
Moreover, the Ri Army has a special artillery unit, currently there are two special field artillery brigades, each of which is composed of 18 artillery squadrons. When the Ri Army seeks breakthroughs, reinforcements can be obtained here to form a scale.
A huge army of artillery.
In contrast, the Russian artillery company consists of 8 field artillery companies, and the size of the artillery company is relatively large. Unfortunately, they are generally fighting alone and are not used together.
An artillery gang can definitely influence the end of a battle. Now Suzuki Nishijima actually told him that an artillery gang was crippled when he was just in battle. Even if Oyama Isaka calmed down, he felt in his heart.
Thousands of waves.
"This!" Oyama Iwaki didn't scold the word "trash". He couldn't help but think of Rihachiro Sakamoto. He felt a stinging pain in his heart. Ri, who graduated from the authentic army university, actually betrayed the empire regardless of his country and family.
And it is unforgivable to defect to the Chinese.
The rebellion of Sakamoto Rihachiro and the artillery strength shown in the reclamation area now made Oyama Iwai understand that the troops arrangements of Liu Zhenming’s reclamation area are not as mentioned in the original intelligence.
The first idea of Oyama Iwaji was surprisingly consistent with Keisuke Koide and others, that is, there must be Russian troops in Liu Zhenming's reclamation area, and at least the enemy artillery of the 2nd Division's Artillery Regiment must be Russian troops.
artillery.
This Russian artillery could not be allowed to escape from that place. In an instant, Dashanyan's determination to break through the Liaoyang reclamation area became much stronger. His eyelids slightly closed and he said in a low voice: "Let's draw out six of the 1st Field Artillery Brigade
The artillery squadron went to support and told Susukyoshi Nishima that I didn't want to hear any news of failure again. If the attack failed again, let him be loyal to the empire."
"Hi!"
However, there was a debate in the Russian Army Command in Liaoyang City.
After Liu Zhenming's request for help was sent, the generals in the Russian command began to argue endlessly.
"Your Excellency, if we don't support Liu, then who will come to surrender to us in the future?"
"I don't agree. If you want to support Liu, you have to go through the defense zones of other troops. If you go too much, you will easily be discovered. If you go too little, it will not work at all. You will die. It's better not to support it."
"No, Your Excellency, this will make others think that our army is afraid of our army, so we can watch our army encircle and suppress the people who surrender to us. Besides, the place where Liu's army is stationed is a good restraint.
We should help Liu guard this place with military strength."
"Hmph, I'm afraid that when our reinforcements arrived there, the Qing man who had just surrendered to us had become a corpse."
The commander-in-chief of the Far East Army, Kuropatkin, was quarreled for a while, and immediately raised his hands to stop the quarrels of the generals, and said helplessly: "You all make sense. We have retreated again and again. Your Majesty asked.
We must defend Liaoyang. We can only rely on frontier fortifications to fight against the ri army that is tired of attacking, and then turn to counterattack."
The combat map with one finger hanging in front of Kuropatkin, which contained the deployment of the Russian and Russian forces. The Ri army had increased to 4 armies, and there was a cavalry detachment and reserve force, with a total force of more than 130,000.
.
Of course, the Russians' intelligence was still very backward and they were not very clear about the military strength. Russians like to leave more than half of the reserve forces in the rear when they were in war, but only half of the troops were on the front line. They judged others by themselves.
, think that the Ri army does the same, but do not know that the Ri army will do its best in every battle, and there are very few reserve forces left.
In addition, in order to conceal their failure, some Russian generals deliberately exaggerated the strength of the Ri army, which made Kuropatkin think that the Ri army, like them, had more than 200,000 troops.
The Russian army in Liaoyang area defended three positions, the first position was the front line of the Langzi Mountain - Anshan Station, about 30 kilometers south of Liaoyang City, stretching for more than 70 kilometers, and the second position was 22 kilometers in the venue.
It is about 8 kilometers away from Liaoyang City, and the last position is close to Liaoyang City, with a total area of 15 kilometers.
Kuropatkin couldn't change his combat intentions for Liu Zhenming. He said his own way: "The Ri army's offensive is now fierce, and it is not the time for us to attack, but we cannot stand by death and refuse to save us. In this way,
Let Wu Peifu's Kanto Detachment go to rescue."
Lieutenant General Liene Khanbu was surprised and advised: "Your Excellency, it is difficult for us Russian troops to pass through the defense zone of the Ri Army, let alone the Kanto Detachment? Isn't this asking Wu Peifu to die?"
Kuropatkin smiled and said indifferently: "Of course I won't let him die. After all, this Qing man is loyal to us. I just let him go to support him and let others know,
We will never refuse to save those who defect to us. As for whether we can pass through Ri's own defense zone, let Wu Peifu take care of it 721."
The implication is that Wu Peifu can do it as long as he is just pretending.
Liu Zhenming, who was not taken seriously by the Russians, made the army "dead immortals" at this moment.
A large brigade of the 4th Infantry Regiment of the Ri Army was fully deployed in front of the trench fortifications in the reclamation area. More than 1,200 soldiers of the Ri Army rushed past the cannonball point with a scream and came to the trench with confidence.
.
In the trenches, the soldiers pursed their lips, held the rifle tightly in their hands, and their ears were erect, waiting for the order to shoot.
As they shouted, the soldiers of the ri army were getting closer and closer, and the soldiers began to get nervous.
"Why haven't the order been issued yet?" the recruit asked in his heart.
"Why are the Japanese devils so slow!" the veteran asked with his eyes narrowed.
The infantry had skillfully loaded the guns, their eyes were placed on the sight, and their eyes were staring at the enemy in front of them for a moment.
The snipers had already aimed at the low-level officers in the charge of the enemy, waiting for the moment when the bullets were shed out of the chamber.
The machine gunners' index fingers had already touched the trigger, waiting for that moment to ring.
The loaders had already picked up the mortar shells and waited for the moment they stuffed the shells into the barrel.
Liu Zhenming aimed at a lieutenant of the Ri army wearing white gloves and holding a command knife in his hands. He was calling out happily. This person was located among the soldiers of the Ri army. He was among the chargers of the Ri army and was not far away.
characters.
"Open fire..."
Liu Zhenming roared and issued an order, almost at the same time, pulled the trigger.
"Bang……"
With a gunshot, the command knife of the lieutenant of the Ri Army fell to the ground. A bullet hole appeared in the middle of its master's eyebrows and fell to the ground softly.
And with Liu Zhenming's order, the entire trench seemed to boil.
The rifles, machine guns, and mortars roared together, bullets and shells fell towards the unmanned land in front like raindrops. For a moment, gunfire sounded loudly in the unmanned land and artillery fire flew.
The Maxim machine gun hidden behind the fortification revealed its hideous muzzle, forming a cross-fire network, and launched a massacre. When bullets passed, the soldiers of the Ri army fell down in pieces like harvested wheat.
, bloody flowers exploded from the enemy's bodies.
Each bomb explosion even flew several people in the explosion center into the air, and then went down a bunch of blood, falling pieces of human flesh, and the enemy troops who were blown to pieces without death were even more employed.
He used his last little effort to make a howl like a pig slaughtering sound towards the sky.
The snipers with perfect bullets showed their skills. The bullets passed by the Japanese soldiers and hit one after another of the ri army soldiers, lieutenants, and even sergeants.
These snipers are not very greedy. They don’t seek the farthest, they only seek the most accurate.
The sudden attack suddenly caused the enemy's team to be in chaos. The ruthless bullets continued to take away their lives one by one. Some bullet craters even began to condense blood pits. The Japanese soldiers looked for any place to hide and were desperately in charge.
He buried his body there, raised his gun, and slammed it randomly.
Captain Ri, who was commanding the attack, roared furiously and urged.
"Bastard, charge quickly, charge quickly!"
This terrain was originally attacking from bottom to top, and there would be some dead corners there. It just slowed down the time of death.
The Japanese soldiers who heard the order had to muster up the courage to get up from the ground!
And what greeted them was bullets, taking away sinful lives.
The Japanese soldiers were completely suppressed and could not raise their heads because they would die if they looked up.
Keisuke Koide, who was watching the battle in the rear, couldn't help but gasp. The firepower in the reclamation area was so strong that it was far beyond his estimate. You must know that even if the British saw such a powerful firepower, they would be willing to give up the disadvantage, let alone the Ri Army.
Woolen cloth.
"The 2nd Battalion reinforces! The 2nd Battalion reinforces!" Koideo Kesuke waved his hand repeatedly to give orders, and he didn't care about any wave-like attack method. The previous wave of attack was like waves slamming on the reef, and there was no reef.
Any damage, but the waves splashed into pieces.
The troops of a large army were urgently supported by emergency forces, and the artillery of the escort team began to become busy again.
"Support is here, for the empire and for your majesty, we will rush!" The captain of the ri army seized the opportunity of reinforcements and issued another order to charge.
"As long as you rush into the trenches and fight against the Chinese, victory must belong to us!" he thought so and shouted.
Unfortunately, his dream will never come true, when the soldiers of the Ri army rushed to the trench about 500 meters away.
Commanders at all levels of the guards excitedly rushed to the side and picked up a grenade and shouted: "Brothers, give the Japanese devils a surprise!"
Whoosh...
Grenades were thrown out of the trenches, and they were covered in black, falling straight into the crowd in the horrified eyes of the soldiers of the ri army.
The guards once again demonstrated what is a defense that is, without blind spots, full firepower, and no shortcomings.
