"A roundabout attack?" Zhang Yuting could not help but frown.
Zhang Yuting had two cavalry regiments under Wu Xingquan's command. The two cavalry regiments only had a total of four thousand men. However, this was definitely a rather powerful assault force.
When tanks and armored vehicles were used on a large scale on the battlefield, cavalry was definitely the best assault force.
Zhang Yuting relied on this assault force to suppress the other northeast warlords.
However, Major General Shirakawa Masanori wanted to personally lead his troops into battle, which made Zhang Yuting very satisfied.
Even though the Japanese had six railway defense teams, they only had a total of 6,000 soldiers. However, the Japanese army was far stronger than the Chinese army. One against ten might be a little exaggerated, but one against five was definitely not a problem.
Zhang Yuting believed that if the six Japanese railway guards charged, they would be able to defeat Feng Linge's troops.
"Once we annihilate the Feng Faction troops west of Liaohe River, the Feng Faction troops stationed in Liaozhong will become turtles in a jar. At that time, whether it was to eliminate them or to recruit them, it would be very easy.”Major General Shirakawa Masanori continued.
Zhang Yuting nodded repeatedly. He was also very confident in this plan.
Regardless, the 2 cavalry regiments and the 6 railway guards were undoubtedly the main force. These main forces were all thrown into the attack, which was undoubtedly a gamble. If they failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, Zhang Fuchen took the initiative to raise this point.
"Marshal, isn't this too risky? What if I fail?" Zhang Fuchen was a little worried.
Zhang Yuting shook his head. Whether it's our cavalry or the Japanese army, they're far stronger than Feng Linge's troops. Feng Linge's main force was gathered in Liaozhong, and there were not many troops west of Liaohe. They mainly had logistics and supplies, and their combat strength was low. As long as he could get rid of them and seize their logistics resources. Feng Linge couldn't continue fighting this battle. At that time, they would have no choice but to admit defeat!”
The other generals of the Zhang faction also nodded.
With the current situation becoming more and more unfavorable, they had also placed their hopes on this roundabout attack. As long as they could win through a roundabout attack, they would be able to turn the tables.
"There's no time to lose. Let's start the operation tonight. In order to avoid being discovered by Feng Linge's troops, they had to cross the river as far as possible. Tomorrow morning, before 10 o'clock, we will attack!”Major General Shirakawa Masanori said.
"Alright, no problem!" Zhang Yuting nodded.
"Second brother, it's up to you this time!”Zhang Yuting looked at Wu Xingquan.
"Good! Don't worry, Old Seven." Wu Xingquan patted his chest and promised. One had to know that the cavalry he led was definitely the strongest cavalry in the northeast, or even the entire Tang Empire.
Of course, the cavalry of the Ma Clan in the northwest could not be underestimated.
That night, Zhang Yuting's two cavalry brigades and the six Japanese railway garrison brigades began to cross the Liao River from the south and north, preparing to launch a roundabout attack on Feng Linge's troops. While Feng Linge's main force was gathered in Liaozhong, he would cut off Feng Linge's retreat and win this battle.
However, they would soon find out. The so-called roundabout battle this time was not as easy as they had imagined. It was even to the extent that they directly bumped into an iron plate, causing their heads to bleed.
While Zhang Yuting and the others were trying to turn the tide of the battle, Feng Ping and Feng Linge were also analyzing the current situation.
"Zhang Yuting launched two consecutive days of attacks, but he was unable to break through the defensive line of the 2nd Division of Liaoxi. Instead, he suffered heavy losses in front of our defensive line. Now, the 1st Division of Liaoxi had already entered Liaozhong. It was even more impossible for Zhang Yuting to take down Liaozhong!”Feng Ping was all smiles. He was very satisfied with the performance of the 2nd Division. At the same time, this also meant that it would be easier for them to win this battle than expected.
"Yes! Zhang Yuting has always underestimated us. This time, they were finally shocked.”Feng Linge was also very happy. He knew very well that even with the appointment of Big Head Yuan, if he didn't get rid of Zhang Yuting, he wouldn't be able to hold his position as Fengtian Military Governor.
"However, we still can't let our guard down. According to the information we received, the Japanese really did interfere. There were many Japanese soldiers in Zhang Yuting's army. It should be the six Japanese railway guards.”Feng Ping continued.
Feng Linge's expression immediately turned serious. He was undoubtedly very wary of the Japanese.
"The Japanese are indeed not easy to deal with. We have to be more cautious.”Feng Linge said.
"Father, since things have come to this, do we have any other choice? Since the Japanese had joined the battle and chosen to stand on Zhang Yuting's side, the battle was over. The only thing we can do is defeat them and hurt them. Only then will they acknowledge that Fengtian is our territory.”Feng Ping's eyes flashed with determination.
"What if the Japanese get angry and send an army to attack us?”Feng Linge was a little worried.
Feng Linge knew that with the difficulty of temporarily forming the 1st division, it would be a piece of cake for them to take down thousands of Japanese troops. However, the Japanese weren't weak. Once the army was full, they could easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops. When they were dealing with the Russians, the Japanese had deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in the northeast.
"Don't worry, the Japanese won't send their main force. Besides, don't we have the support of the Americans? If the Japanese want to attack us, the Americans and the entire western world will not agree.”Feng Ping was full of confidence.
Feng Linge nodded. With the support of the Americans, he was indeed relieved.
"The Japanese are very good at attacking from the front while flanking, so we have to be especially vigilant. I've already sent out many scouts. If the Japanese chose to flank them, they would definitely pay a heavy price!”A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Feng Ping's eyes.
As a qualified military enthusiast, Feng Ping was naturally very clear about the tactics of the Japanese.
"Okay, do as you see fit. Tomorrow morning, I will head to Liaozhong. I'll leave the battle here to you.”Feng Linge nodded.
Since Feng Ping was already prepared, the Japanese and Zhang Yuting's cavalry would not be able to succeed. What awaited them were elite troops that were ready to fight.
