"According to the Scout's report, [three sets of cars] are plugged in at a time. At that time, most of the Russian positions could hear the cry, and since the day before yesterday, there were Russian soldiers who surrendered to us, although the number was not large, but brought us the details of the Russian positions, according to their explanations, now the morale of the Russian army has fallen to the extreme, most of the ordinary soldiers do not want to fight anymore, and because the Russian army has strengthened control, it has also caused dissatisfaction among most of the soldiers, and even two positions are due to too strict control, causing soldiers to resist, and there has been internal commotion, and the Russian soldiers who surrendered to us are involved in the internal commotion。 This also shows that our psychological warfare has been quite successful. ”

"So just the day before yesterday, we launched a tentative attack on the small positions of the two Russian troops, and the results also proved that the Russian army did not have a strong will to fight, after the shelling, when we launched an attack on the positions of the Russian army, we received very little resistance, and after our soldiers attacked the positions, the Russian army did not have any tough counter-attack, either surrendered or fled, capturing these two positions, we only killed 12 soldiers, and only 51 wounded fighters, but captured 554 prisoners and killed 237 people. Therefore, we think that the time has come to launch a full-scale attack on Shenyang, and I think that if we launch a full-scale attack on Shenyang, it will only take about 5-6 days to fully occupy the city of Shenyang and completely annihilate the Russian troops in the city. ”

After listening to Qiu Yahui's report, * also nodded, when Qiu Yahui proposed this "Russian version of embattled" plan, * also had the heart of trying it out, and reported this plan to the Military Commission. This plan was strongly supported by the Military Commission, and four sets of broadcasting equipment were soon deployed. Now it seems that this plan has paid off. Of course, this also has a great deal to do with the low morale and morale of the Russian army now, if the morale of the Russian army is high and the fighting spirit is strong, then playing any music for the Russian army will have no effect.

And * also felt that the time was ripe for an attack on Shenyang, and after the breakdown of the tripartite talks at Portsmouth, the East China government formulated a new war plan, in which the capture of Shenyang was the key to the whole plan, so the early capture of Shenyang was also conducive to the subsequent operation. In addition, if Shenyang can be conquered as soon as possible, it will also be a credit to the army. In fact, after the People's Army entered the war, the results achieved were also quite brilliant, but the three landing operations of the Marine Corps, plus the Battle of the Muling River, were all key nodes in the battle situation, and the result was too dazzling, and the army's achievements were suppressed.

Although the battle of the Muling River was participated in by the army, and the majority of the army's strength was the commander of the Marine Corps, Luo Yue, the commander of this battle, so the battle was naturally counted on the head of the Marine Corps. As the supreme commander of the front line and one of the responsible persons of the army, although he was unwilling, he was helpless, because first, these achievements were indeed brought down by the marines with a knife and a shot, and there was no water at all; second, landing operations were originally the strong point of the marines, and even if these combat tasks were handed over to the army, they might not be done well. However, it is still hoped that the army will be able to perform well in the battle of Guan Jian. Now that the opportunity has finally come, the attack on Shenyang is a key node in the new battle, and the army must seize this opportunity.

So* said: "Okay, I will report to the Military Commission, you go back and prepare for the battle first." It is estimated that it will take 2 or 3 days, and there will be a reply from the Qingdao side, and as soon as the Qingdao side is confirmed, it will immediately launch an attack. ”

Qiu Yahui nodded and said, "I've been ready for a long time, even if I launch an attack now, but there is one more thing to report." ”

* Dao: "What is the matter. ”

Qiu Yahui said: "Just yesterday, Zhang Zuolin, the former battalion of the Xinmin Mansion Patrol Police, led Zhang Zuolin, sent his cadres Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei (note) with a team of men and horses, saying that there was a bandit who was bought by Japan and asked them to work together to raid the Tieling Railway Station, and as a result, they annihilated the bandits, and took the bandit leaders Yuan 4 and Yuan 5 and 30 more prisoners, and handed them over to us for disposal, and also sent 3,000 taels of silver, and 10 pigs, 10 sheep, 20 jars of wine, and 200 catties of rice. I let them stay in the position for the night. ”

* Said: "The former battalion horse team of the Xinmin Mansion Patrol Police sounds like a regular official position! Isn't Zhang Zuolin a bandit? I remember listening to Mr. Shan's commentary, Zhang Zuolin should still be working in the insurance team now, why did he become an official now?"

Qiu Yahui said: "I have learned about the situation, in fact, Zhang Zuolin has not really been a bandit for a long time, only 1 or 2 years, and then he started the insurance team. And before he became a bandit, he also enlisted in the army to participate in the Sino-Japanese War, and served as a Gosh in Song Qing's Yi Army. However, the insurance team belongs to the nature of the militia group, although it also does some bandit things, but it is not completely regarded as bandits, and has a certain nature of local autonomy, and at this time, after some insurance teams become a climate, they will be accepted by the Qing court as a formal establishment, Zhang Zuolin belongs to this situation, so now Zhang Zuolin is indeed a formal official of the Qing court. And it's not just Zhang Zuolin, Feng Linge mentioned in Mr. Shan's commentary also took this path, but he was recruited later than Zhang Zuolin. ”

* Said: "We are not now completely disconnected from the Qing court and become a completely independent government, even if Zhang Zuolin is an official of the Qing court, why did Zhang Zuolin still come to send people to see us?

Qiu Yahui said: "Of course I told it, but I don't know if they know it, maybe they know but pretend to be stupid, but listening to Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei's tone, Zhang Zuolin intends to take refuge in us?"

* nodded, and said with a smile: "This is interesting, but judging from Zhang Zuolin's performance in the old time and space, it is indeed very possible to take refuge in us at this time, because Zhang Zuolin basically does not have much loyalty to the Qing court, and he was recruited by the Qing court is just a big tree chosen for personal future considerations, and in this position, we are obviously a bigger tree than the Qing court, so it is not surprising that Zhang Zuolin intends to take refuge in us, but Zhang Zuolin is not a peaceful person." ”

Qiu Yahui said: " I think that Zhang Zuolin's restlessness is not important, our execution and control are by no means comparable to the Chunting, so under our control, Zhang Zuolin can't make much waves at all, but at this time, we will immediately start a new battle, and let go of the work of clearing up the bandits in the northeast, and Zhang Zuolin has done bandits after all, and now he has a very close connection with the bandits, if we can now co-opt Zhang Zuolin and let him go to the bandits for us, we can alleviate a lot of our work, in the old time and space, after Zhang Zuolin was recruited by the Qing court, he did exterminate a lot of bandits。 In addition, Zhang Zuolin can also be examined in the work of clearing and suppressing bandits to see if he really wants to follow us. ”

* thought about it, nodded as well, and said, "You are right, I will report back your opinion together." After you go back, you can first use good words to stabilize Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei, and then call Zhang Zuolin for an interview, which can delay some time, and this is also a reasonable request, to take refuge in us, of course, you can't just rely on subordinates to talk, even if these two are Zhang Zuolin's henchmen, Zhang Zuolin himself will definitely come in person, if Zhang Zuolin doesn't even dare to come once, there will be nothing to talk about, and when Zhang Zuolin comes, there will definitely be clear instructions from Qingdao. ”

Qiu Yahui said: "Okay, then it's decided." ”

So Qiu Yahui immediately got up to say goodbye and left, returned to the front-line headquarters, and immediately ordered all troops to prepare for battle, and then asked someone to invite Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei.

It didn't take long, Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei came to Qiu Yahui side by side, both of them were between 35-40 years old, Tang Yulin was tall, with wide shoulders and a wide back, and a fierce face, Zhang Sifei was relatively thin and shrewd, after meeting, the two immediately gave a military salute to Qiu Yahui, and their attitude was very apologetic, after sitting down, Tang Yulin said: "Commander Qiu is looking for us, there must be something to order." ”

Qiu Yahui nodded, and said: "The situation of the two, I have reported to the general headquarters, the general headquarters is very grateful to Captain Zhang's righteous deeds, we fought with the enemy in front of the battle, I didn't expect that someone was willing to be a traitor and stabbed us in the back, fortunately, there are righteous men like Captain Zhang, otherwise our losses this time are not small." ”

Zhang Sifei hurriedly got up and said, "Don't hide it from Commander Qiu, although we Captain Zhang have also mixed in the green forest before, and have done some selling and buying without capital, but the righteousness of the country has never dared to forget." Over the years, our Great Qing Kingdom has been bullied by foreigners, and only when the People's Army comes out to fight the foreign devils can it be regarded as giving us Chinese a breath of relief. This time the big nose (Russia) and the small nose (Japan) fought in this mess, the imperial court did not dare to squeak, only the people's army dared to practice with the big nose and the small nose, and beat them to the point of urine, as long as it is Chinese, there is no one who does not stretch the big brother, we Captain Zhang usually mentions the people's army, but in my heart I admire ah, the little nose sent people to find them Captain Zhang several times, asked Captain Zhang to lead the team and the people's army, and also sent 100,000 taels of silver, all of which were driven away by Captain Zhang. Yuan Wu, these two bastards, were willing to be lackeys for Little Nose, and also pulled Captain Zhang into the gang, so we Captain Zhang can do this kind of thing that lacks the virtue of the eight generations of ancestors? So he pretended to agree, and while these two bastards were not paying attention, he immediately sent troops to copy their locks, caught these two bastards, and handed them over to you. ”

Note: Zhang Sifei is a fictional character in Mr. Shan Tianfang's commentary "Heroes in Troubled Times". It is generally believed that the prototype of this person is Zhang Haipeng, but I checked it and found that Zhang Haipeng's image is very different from Zhang Sifei, Zhang Sifei in "Heroes in Troubled Times" is one of Zhang Zuolin's earliest teams, and Zhang Haipeng was originally Feng Linge's subordinate, and he took refuge in Zhang Zuolin after Zhang Xun returned to seclusion, and after 918, Zhang Haipeng defected to Japan and became a traitor, so he still uses the name Zhang Sifei, which can be regarded as a tribute to Mr. Shan.
