Looking at the two of them with such a thousand thanks, *** couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, relatively speaking, Song Qing and Ma Yukun were okay generals in the Qing army, but just like this, it can be seen that Chunting is indeed hopeless. Bayi Chinese ≈. But *** didn't say anything to them, in fact, there was nothing to say, just beat them away earlier.

After Song Qing and Ma Yukun left, they immediately sent down to the defenders of Qianwei Town, asking them not only to hold the camp, but also to guard the main transportation roads of Qianwei Town, and capture the fleeing Russian soldiers. Because in the forward position, there are many Russian soldiers in Gaoling Town who have escaped, and if they want to escape back to Jinzhou, they will inevitably have to pass through Qianwei Town, so if the garrison at each intersection is strengthened on the side of Qianwei Town, most of the fleeing Russian soldiers can be captured, of course, the more Russian soldiers captured, the better. And after receiving reinforcements from a regiment, the avant-garde town also had enough troops to garrison the intersections.

In addition, *** ordered the armored troops to immediately withdraw from the battlefield and return to the Changbai Mountain ship. The armored forces did not participate in many battles, on the one hand, because the traverser has always used the armored force as a trump card, and the trump card will certainly not be used easily, and the course and results of this battle have also proved that the armored force is indeed worthy of the name of the trump card; on the other hand, the traverser does not want all countries to be inspired by the armored forces and give birth to tanks in advance.

Compared with other modern weapons of the Traverser, only the tank has the lowest technical condition, and theoretically, the current level of technology can fully produce a tank, because diesel engines, tracked tractors, Cars and other things related to tank technology have been developed, as long as there is a demonstration, it is not difficult to make a Tak, although this has no effect on the Traverser, and even if a tank is created, it cannot be compared with the armored vehicles of the Traverser, but after all, this is a weapon that is enough to change the mode of war, so before the Traverser has the ability to make tanks by himself, he does not want other countries to be able to produce tanks.

Although in this battle, although the armored forces participated in the war as the protagonists, after all, it was a night operation, and it was the first official battle of the armored forces, and the entire operation was not long, so the Russian army may not be able to figure out what kind of weapon it was, at this time, it is still necessary to keep the armored forces secret, and now that the war is over, it is natural to withdraw the armored forces.

After receiving the order of ***, Zhu Da was not dissatisfied, after all, this battle alone was enough to establish the status of the armored forces, and the report on the development of armored combat vehicles put forward by the executive committee of his own plan should have a great chance of being approved.

At this time, the sky has gradually brightened, the Qing army has launched a full-scale operation, searching for the remnants of the Russian soldiers in the field, although in the process, there are also some sporadic battles, but the remnants of the Russian soldiers are too few after all, and the Qing army of Song Qing and Ma Yukun still has some combat effectiveness, and the frontal battlefield is naturally not the opponent of the Russian army, but the ability to beat the water dogs is still enough. In the end, the Qing army of Song Qing and Ma Yukun killed more than 3oo Russian soldiers and captured more than 5oo people, which is a very rare feat for the Qing army.

However, the results of the Qing army's achievements were simply a small profit for the people's army, and the final results of the battle were completed four days later, and the people's army killed a total of 8,747 Russian soldiers in this battle, and captured as many as 17,357 Russian soldiers, of which the highest rank was two division commanders: Major General Obumochaev and Major General Kiliapa, while only about 6,000 Russian soldiers escaped. Among those captured were 12 priests and more than 10 prostitutes accompanying the army.

The KPA itself had only 4,7 soldiers killed and 671 wounded. And to get such a result, it is entirely because in this battle, there are armored units as the main force of the assault, for the infantry to easily tear open the Russian defense line, and completely disrupt the position of the Russian soldiers, and when the infantry into the battle, the entire battlefield has basically become a one-sided situation, the result is not only to win the battle, but also to greatly reduce their own casualties. It can be said that the armored forces are indeed the key to victory in this battle.

In addition to the huge difference in the ratio of battle losses, the gains in this battle are also very huge, because almost all the materials of the entire Russian army have been captured by the People's Army, which is to maintain more than 32,000 Russian troops and more than 25,000 laborers, as well as thousands of livestock, of course, it will not be a small amount. The final statistical results are that a total of more than 8ooo tons of various grains, 3ooo tons of salt, 5ooo tons of edible oil, more than 25oo tons of various forages, more than 1ooo tons of medical supplies, and more than 6ooo bottles of wine, of which 2ooo bottles are still vodka.

The seized weapons included: 14,276 rifles of various kinds, 72,783 pieces of various accessories removed from other broken rifles, and 1,273 other guns; more than 50,000 guns of various kinds, nearly 10 pieces of artillery pieces, and more than 8,000 shells.

In other aspects, there are a large number of marching tents, tables and chairs, articles, more than 1ooo vehicles of various kinds, more than 8ooo horses, including more than 4oo war horses, more than 8oo heads of donkeys and mules and other livestock, and there are more than 2oo sheep. In addition, more than 57,000 rubles and more than 30,000 silver coins of various kinds were found from the barracks of the Russian army, as well as the captured and dead Russian soldiers. The value of the ruble in this era was very high, with an exchange rate of nearly 1:1 with the pound sterling and a ratio of about 1:6 to silver, so the more than 57,000 rubles were worth about 3o taels of silver.

The crossing group obtained about 90 million silver in Beijing, and there was basically no financial pressure, but the situation of lack of materials was not improved much, after all, silver could not be eaten, and only the silver could be exchanged for various materials to have substantial value. However, although the crossing group is not bad for money, in the area controlled by the crossing group, there is basically no production, mainly relying on purchases from Shanghai. Although the purchase behavior of the crossing group in Shanghai has not been hindered by the current situation, after all, it is controlled by others, and it may also become a bargaining chip when countries negotiate with the traverser, so the acquisition of this batch of materials can greatly enrich the current inventory of the crossing group, and also increase the confidence of the traverser in the negotiations.

Moreover, the 25,000 Chinese laborers recruited by the Russian army are all young and middle-aged men, which is also the source of labor and troops that the crossing group is currently lacking, as well as the more than 17,000 Russian soldiers in the prisoner house, which is not only a good free labor, but also a bargaining chip when the crossers negotiate with Russia in the future.

Of course, the harvest of materials is only a part of the victory dividend of the war, politically speaking, the victory of this war not only completely crushed the Russian army's intention to advance south, but also can be regarded as the end of the eight-nation coalition war of aggression against China, because although the southward advance of the Russian army is a unilateral decision made by Russia, it can still be regarded as a continuation of the eight-nation coalition war of aggression against China, after all, the Russian army is also a member of the eight-nation coalition, so the victory of the people's army can also declare the complete defeat of the eight-nation coalition. In the next step, whether it is with other countries or with the Chunting, the traverser will be in an extremely advantageous position, and can occupy the absolute initiative at the negotiation table and strive for the greatest interests for himself.

The news of the victory reached Tianjin as soon as possible in the early morning, and Xia Bohai and Xu Ji, who stayed in Tianjin, did not sleep all night, waiting for news from the front line, although the two of them were not very worried about the outcome of this battle. However, after learning the news of the victory, both of them were still very excited, after all, the news of victory is always encouraging. Moreover, the victory of this battle can also win a relatively long-term peace and stability for the crossing group. What is most needed to cross the group now is stability and time.

After dawn, Xiao Jianjun also rushed back to Tianjin to attend the meeting of the executive committee and negotiate the next steps after the war.

After the end of the war, of course, the army must be withdrawn, after all, the garrisons of Tianjin and Qingdao are relatively empty, but although this battle has severely damaged the Russian army, there is no guarantee that the Russian army will not invade Shanhaiguan again, although this possibility is not large. Therefore, the People's Army cannot be completely evacuated from here, on the other hand, maintaining its own military presence in the Shanhaiguan area is also a pressure on the Russian army, after all, the Russian army still occupies Northeast China, and the existence of the People's Army on the front line of Shanhaiguan is also a threat to the Russian army.

In the end, it was decided to move the garrison of the People's Army from the Nine Gates to Gaoling Town and Qianwei Town, and leave the Second Regiment and the Ninth Regiment behind, and build a small wharf on the sea side of Gaoling Town, so that the garrison's supplies would be transported by sea in the future, and the first regiment would be withdrawn to Beijing to garrison, and the fifth regiment would be deployed in Qingdao.

After the inventory of the seized materials is completed, only a small part is left for the use of the garrison, and the rest is all transported back to Tianjin for unified use by the Executive Committee; all the Chinese laborers and prisoners who have been rescued by the KPA will be sent to Qingdao, because the crossing group has a large number of infrastructure projects in Qingdao and needs a large number of laborers, but for Chinese laborers, they will be mobilized to join the KPA as much as possible, and this will depend on the propaganda work of the KPA. Of course, if people who don't want to go to Qingdao, they can also be released on the spot, and each person will be given two silver coins to fend for themselves.

However, in the end, there are only a few hundred people who want to leave the People's Army, and the vast majority of people are still willing to follow the People's Army, not because they have revered the People's Army and wait for the five-body land, after all, the time to get along is still short, although these people are very grateful to the People's Army, but they have not yet reached the place where they can abandon their homes and follow, but here is hundreds of miles away from the northeast, in this era of war and chaos, it is quite difficult to go back safely, and the People's Army also promised them that they would go to Qingdao to work first, and when the situation stabilized, they could be allowed to leave, so the vast majority of people naturally chose to stay。

Finally, he immediately informed Qin Zheng in Shanghai, on the one hand, to strengthen propaganda, try his best to exaggerate the victory of this battle, and raise the image of the crossing group again, on the other hand, he was also ready to negotiate with other countries, and the next step of the battlefield will be transferred from Shanhaiguan to the diplomatic front in Shanghai.
