Chapter 519: A Test of Loyalty

The Milyutin group now has about 90,000 troops, and Guoxing Aman is only more than 20,000 people, even if the command system of the Russian army is already in chaos, hard fighting is not an option for Guoxing, he still has to take a trick. There is no room for loss in the river valley, and Goxinga can't do anything flexible, but he still has the opportunity to do some small tricks, such as summoning Asano Sohide first.

"Asano, there is going to be a war here, and at the moment our forces are a little tight, and I have urgently transferred two brigades of the Second Army Group over. However, after they come, there will be some gaps in the defense line on the other side of Temple Street, so you can bring the mercenary division over! Help Acton fill in the gaps. "Please don't be as good as agitating generals, although the Japanese mercenaries are shouting that they want to fight and make meritorious contributions when they have nothing to do, but Guo Xing'a still thinks it's better to provoke them.

"General, there are not enough troops here, why do you want to transfer us to the direction of Temple Street?" Asano never dared to disobey the will of any North Manchurian officer above the Tar, let alone the highest Goxinga, but this time Goxinga used a consultative tone, and he really couldn't figure it out.

"This time, it is the core and main force of the Russian army, which is not only strong, but also very strong, and the casualties of the participating troops are not small. Your subordinates are all mercenaries, and I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand this kind of tough battle! "Gokokoa is very happy with Asano's reaction.

"A samurai ought to serve his lord faithfully, but how can he be afraid! The Great General has given us everything, he is our master, and we should fight to the death for the Great General! Please leave us behind and let us go! Asano took off his military hat, knelt on the ground and saluted, solemnly making his request.

"Asano, I believe in your loyalty, but now is not the time to show your loyalty. Once you are in the position and on the battlefield, you have to act according to military law. Without the order to retreat, no matter how badly you fight, you must not take half a step back. You know the military law of Northern Manchuria, if you don't die before the battle, you will die in military law! The Warlords aren't going to be polite to anyone! Gokokoa continued to stimulate Sohide Asano.

"Swear not to take half a step back, please give us a chance! We will prove our loyalty and bravery with our blood! Asano's pride was hurt, and Goko's soft voice was a great contempt for him and his army.

"Alright! I believe you once! The positions on the high ground are handed over to you, and the Guards Brigade will provide you with artillery support in the rear. After the battle, if you really can't stand it, don't force it, send someone back to send me a message, and I'll take the Guards Brigade to go up in person! "Goxinga has taken the skills of the squeeze people to the extreme.

"The presence of the general in the battle formation is a disgrace to all our soldiers, and the mercenary division will definitely hold the position to repel the enemy for the general. If you can't break the enemy, the mercenary division will be from Zong Xiu down, and you should be seppuku to thank the general! "Asano has made a military order.

"Flowers are like cherry blossoms, people are like samurai, Asano-kun, work hard!" Guo Xing's face was solemn, in fact, his heart had already blossomed, and the cannon fodder was now gone.

The Japanese mercenaries happily stationed in the positions constructed by the Guards Brigade and took over the defense of the Udi Valley. The Guards Brigade, which was originally stationed here, retreated about a kilometer back, rearranged their heavy artillery on the commanding heights, and prepared to provide fire cover for the Japanese mercenaries in front. Xing Cong and other senior staff members all raised their hands in favor of this arrangement, this kind of deployment can not only allow mercenaries to send them to death and reduce the casualties of the Guards Brigade, but also concentrate strong troops at a critical moment to quickly protect Guoxing's evacuation.

"We've laid out all the minefields, why did you suddenly take us down? Those little men, like a turnip, they can also fight? Why did they take our place! "The mercenaries are naturally happy to have the opportunity to realize their dreams of being rewarded for their meritorious service, but the Guards Brigade, which was suddenly ordered to withdraw from its position, is not at all happy.

Although the Guards Brigade has always been known as the strongest army in Manchuria, in fact, the troops below have a great deal of criticism of them, saying that they are silver-like wax spearheads, which are useless. This time they finally had a chance to prove themselves, but they were inexplicably snatched away by others, of course, with reluctance, the soldiers inevitably muttered.

"The Russian army is about to come up, hurry up and check the artillery position for Lao Tzu and prepare ammunition! That Tianling Gai is reversed, and if he dares to mumble blindly, Lao Tzu will pick his skin! "Fu Quan can come back to protect Guoxing'a, and he is naturally happy in his heart, but he can't prove himself on the battlefield, and his anger is not good.

"Sir Zhang, don't be so angry! It's a good thing that the brothers want to make contributions to the general, but they can't figure it out for a while, let's persuade and educate! "The partner of Fuquan's carriage, the political commissar of the Guards Brigade, is the old man Fukang in the Gu'an lineage.

Fukang's position in the Gu'an Army era was not up or down, and his performance was not up or down, that is, his seniority in the political work was old enough, and he was in charge of political work during the deserted village period. The reason why he was able to defeat Zhang Yi, Han Yu, Han Qian, Liu Qiang and other old qualifications of the guard squad and become the political commissar of the Guards Brigade was because he had never been a subordinate of Fuquan, but also because he had a very special hidden identity.

After leaving the customs, Guoxinga spent the New Year at home for the first time. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, except for the seniors, almost all the in-service subordinates came to greet him, but this Fukang did not come. It wasn't until the second year of junior high school that Guo Xing'a went to pay New Year's greetings to the seniors, and it turned out that Fukang was also his senior, and this guy who was very hidden was actually the cousin of the Suotulu clan. Behind his back, the Suoturu clan always praised the mediocre Fukang, and his feelings were his mother's family. Fukang's qualifications are appropriate, and loyalty is absolutely fine, and Guo Xinga also handed over the political work of the Guards Brigade to him.

"Uncle, you educate! I have nothing to say! "Everyone knew the identity of Fukang in the Gu'an Army era, but almost all people from Gu'an had relatives, and Fukang's maiden relatives were not so important. Because it is not important, no one has ever told Guo Xing'a that Fukang is an uncle, and no one has ever regarded Fukang as a relative, even now, Fuquan is just as angry and has no temper.

"What's the big deal, the mercenaries will go up and fight for a while! We are elite, we are killer! Naturally, it has to be put in the back. Let's talk about these mercenaries! ......" Beverly suddenly let out a long voice and drew most of his attention.

"Whoa! Why is this cannon fodder so big! Hurry up and wipe it, these cannon fodder! Everyone looked at Fukang, but Fukang didn't say anything, he was interested in a one hundred and five light * cannon beside him, and shouted to the person to wipe it up.

After this very obvious round of performance by Beverly, no one in the Guards Brigade gossiped anymore, and the meaning was obvious, and everyone understood. Turn around and think about it, it's really such a reason, where you can move the trump card when you make a move, you have to let the mercenaries first wear off the sharpness of the Russian army.

Asano Munehide, who had already personally climbed the fifteenth heights, didn't think about it so much, he had already seen the outpost of the Russian army in the telescope, and the first battle of the mercenary division was coming.
