"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, why didn't you just ask them to make more compensation?" The confidential counselor with a negative IQ is an open-minded and inquisitive baby.

"Reparations? What's more compensatory than the roll of film you're carrying? "Kodama's temper is pretty good, if it was Nogi, he would have to say hello a long time ago." The planes of the Wuyi New Army are very sharp. Since the other party can let us take this kind of classified film, wouldn't it be more meaningful for the empire to obtain aircraft technology through trading than money? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief of the General Staff is wise." The confidential staff officer was very excited, and seemed to see the big scene of the plane painted with the sun flag covering the sky and attacking the enemy's fortress, "But it would be good if we annihilated them directly, as long as we caught their big leader, we wouldn't have to worry about not being able to get the technology of the plane." ”

"Catch?" Kodama had to believe that this brain-dead was powerful, and he smiled bitterly, "How to catch it, they have a plane." We can encircle the land with superior forces, the combined fleet can block the seas, but what about the sky? As long as their leaders are on the plane, what can we do? You must know that the Qing people don't care about their soldiers, there are many Qing people, they only need very low supplies to form an army again, and we have nothing to gain except for some prisoners of war. But we will have to sacrifice more Imperial warriors, and we should not expect any Qing people to cooperate with us in the future, because they will not care about the rights and wrongs of this firefight, but will use it as a warning against our allies, and we will not be able to move an inch on the continent from now on. As for the fleeing Governor Wu Chenxuan and his senior officers, they will be ashamed of this, and then throw themselves into the arms of the Russians, and in the future we will have to face the combined forces of the Wuyi New Army and the Russian army in Mukden and Jilin. ”

"My subordinates have been taught." The confidential staff officer realized that Kodama was not weak on them, but had already weighed the pros and cons before making a choice. He understood, but Kodama was confused, when did the Imperial Army need to consider the position of the Qing people? It seems that the rise of the new armed forces has affected the strategic layout of the whole of East Asia, and if we do not make long-term plans, we may suffer big losses in future confrontations. After talking to Nogi and the others, Kodama quickly came to an agreement and accepted such an explanation. Nogi seems to be resolute, but he has been a little nervous by the huge casualties, and the performance of the new army of Wuyi tells them that this is a hedgehog, not a good bully. The Third Army is beautiful on the surface, but the battalion is full of wounded soldiers, and the actual strength is less than 40,000, to deal with these three or four thousand Qing perverts who are armed to the teeth, it is impossible to expect to do their best without paying one or two thousand casualties, and the Third Army can be directly withdrawn after the battle, so although the Third Army is still a little indignant at the level of some wing commanders, most people secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they hear that there is no need to encircle and suppress these new armies with all their might. And Nogi and Kodama were able to obtain the aircraft information provided by the other party, which was also a great achievement, and they were not afraid that they would be held accountable for retreating from the country, as for the soldiers and junior officers who were killed, anyway, the casualties of the Lushun fortress were huge, and who cared if there were more than one hundred or eighty?

After this firefight, the Japanese army no longer had a disdainful attitude towards the Wuyi New Army, although they still stayed away, but in front of the soldiers of the Wuyi New Army, they had already restrained their behavior. The Japanese showed more grace in dealing with Russian prisoners of war, and of course they were not so polite to civilians. Now I don't dare to go too far with the Chinese, robbery and destruction are inevitable, but there are far fewer things like murder and rape. The angry Japanese soldiers sprinkled all the evil fire on the Russian civilians who were encircled, and they didn't kill much, but after the old hairy woman was later repatriated, she gave birth to some mixed-race children one after another, and as for the fate, it all depends on luck.

"Swire ships have arrived, this is the last batch, a total of 4,400 civilians and 172 Russian technical employees and their families." Du Zicheng reported. "Chief, we still participate in the small, eh, is it the Japanese Army's attack on Mukden?"

"Of course." Wu Chenxuan was also busy, these tens of thousands of people and two thousand old Maozi civilians were more difficult to manage than the 100,000 Wuyi New Army, and he had to take care of everything he ate, drank and lazard, "Our agreement with the little devil is to completely end the conflict in the northeast between Japan and Russia, and the two sides reach a long-term armistice agreement or one side surrenders as the standard." This time, both of you have been quenched, and it's time for Zhongzhen, Houzhen, and Qianzhen to send people over to practice. ”

"Boss, I'm convinced." Du Zicheng became excited: "You wanted to sign an agreement with the little devil to send troops. To be honest, not only is the government affairs opposed, but even many people in our Wuyi New Army do not understand. But needless to say, the money earned in the past six months, the captured Lao Maozi technicians and equipment are also counted as a sum, and more importantly, they have saved the lives of no less than 100,000 compatriots in the Northeast, and they have also trained ordinary elite soldiers in a hundred battles. It seems that the old Maozi on the land is out of line, and if the little devil wins, we can be regarded as the victorious side, and we can give an explanation to the court and the people to some extent. ”

"Lao Maozi's reversal hopes that even if it is their Second Pacific Fleet, but dozens of broken ships have circled most of the world to fight hard with the combined fleet of the little devils, and it is a taboo for the soldiers to attack far away and fight the dark with the light, not to mention that the combined fleet of the little devils has an advantage, even if the number is not as good as the Russian army, it can also rely on these advantages to defeat the Russian army. So although the battle is still fought, the little devil won the bet again this time, but fortunately, we also hitched a ride and did not work in vain. ”

"According to the general report, the three towns of our army have gathered a total of six standards and six battalions of troops in Yantai Port, and they are coming to reinforce through the Japanese Marubeni Sea, and they are expected to arrive at Yingkou Port at noon the day after tomorrow." A staff officer reported the situation and turned to leave, and Du Zicheng also understood that it was time for his two standard and the fifth battalion of heavy artillery to return to Shandong when it was time to rest in the round battle.

"By the way, Lao Du, I have contacted the headquarters of Dashanyan, and you will withdraw your troops from Lushun in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, but you will not take the sea route. Marubeni's ship wants to transport Lushun's supplies to Japan, so you should work harder, enter the customs from Shanhaiguan by land through Panjin and Jinzhou, and take a train from Tianjin back to Jinan. The Japanese army also arranged for a brigade to change the defense of the marines in the Japanese concession in Tianjin, and the same itinerary as you. ”

"In this way, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will regard us as puppets of Japan, should we act separately from the little devils?"

Wu Chenxuan smiled bitterly, "Do you think that there is still a good impression of our Wuyi New Army inside and outside the court now, anyway, you have already become an eagle (British) slave, and it is nothing to be a puppet again, but it is the background of the two empires of Britain and Japan that will make them hack, and they have some concerns." ”

"It's just that the domestic heroes think that we are foreign slaves, and they may not be willing to come to Minggong." Du Zicheng said

"It's not the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where will there be a reason for the great talents of civil and military affairs to bow their heads." Wu Chenxuan couldn't help but scold, "Lao Du, you and my brother have known each other for a few years, do you think I am really the Ming Gong in the tradition?" I think the cause of our Wuyi New Army is everyone's cause. Just like the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, everyone is a shareholder, and I am just the chairman elected by everyone, who is respected by everyone and takes the lead for everyone. If one day we brothers want to divide the kings and ministers into kings and ministers, I don't know what you think, anyway, I, Wu Chenxuan, will never be the lone husband who is called a lonely widow. ”

"In this way, the head seat does not have the heart to win, so there will be many old gentlemen who will be disappointed." Du Zicheng actually has no ambitions, he always feels that he has achieved a career with Boss Wu for a few years, with more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command, and he has been humiliated by the enemy outside and punished traitors internally. Therefore, Du Zicheng has been following Wu Chenxuan with all his heart, and it is precisely because of this that he asked this sentence without any chance. Fortunately, Wu Chenxuan also knew Du Zicheng's temperament, and knew that he was worried that he would lose the effectiveness of some literati and military generals with the heart of a dragon.

"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, so what's the matter, let him go." Wu Chenxuan knew that he couldn't satisfy everyone under his command no matter what, so he simply came and went freely, since he was not like-minded, there was no need to force it.

While Wu Chenxuan and Du Zicheng, the leaders of the Wuyi New Army, were talking about their aspirations, the second general battle between Japan and Russia had begun. Although Lushun fell, the main force of the Russian army in Mukden still existed, and the northward offensive of the Japanese First Army and the Second Army was immediately blocked by the Russian army.

At this time, the comparison of Japanese and Russian forces, the Russian army had an advantage in terms of strength and artillery, and Kuropatkin planned to use the 2nd Army (5 armies, 126 infantry battalions, 162 cavalry companies, 439 guns) with a total of 100,000 people as a surprise attack, and the task was first to occupy Shendanbao (Sandiepu), a village about 40 kilometers southwest of Mukden. Kuropatkin considered the village to be the key to the entire position of the Japanese army. However, the strength of the Japanese army in this direction was extremely weak, and only 8,000 people of the Akiyama Yoshikobu of the 1st Cavalry Brigade were on alert and wide.

The Russian troops that attacked that day were: 2 divisions (composed of 32 infantry battalions) on the Heigoutai side, 1 division (composed of 16 infantry battalions) on the Shendanbao side, and Mishuchenko's cavalry corps (72 cavalry companies) inserted to the left side of the Japanese army. Inspired by the battle of the Cossack cavalry in the outskirts of Jinzhou, the encircled Japanese army of Akiyama was inspired by the new army of Wuyi to block the Cossack cavalry in the battle of Jinzhou, and the battlefield used machine guns on a large scale, supplemented by barbed wire and trenches, and beat the corpses of the charging Cossack cavalry all over the field. At the same time, grenadiers and grenades, which had begun to be equipped in small quantities in the Japanese army, also played an important role, and the Cossack cavalry was often killed and wounded by shrapnel in batches and lost the power of the cavalry to charge in groups.

The commander-in-chief of the Manchurian Dispatch Army, Dashanyan, attached great importance to the development and changes in the battle situation, and while urgently mobilizing the 8th Division in the rear, the Lijian Shangwen Department immediately rushed to Heigoutai, and at the same time, he also drew troops from various fronts and organized them into a temporary reserve to counterattack. At the same time, Xiao Mingfeng and Lan Tianwei led the army of more than 20,000 people in six standards and six battalions led by Xiao Mingfeng and Lan Tianwei, hundreds of rubber trucks and howitzers pulled by pack horses, and the marching team that stretched for several kilometers made the people on the path scatter and dodge.
