172 The Spirit of the Russian Maozi
The Russian Maozi is not terrible, what is terrible is the spirit of the soldiers at the bottom of the polar bear who dare to fight hard, when tens of millions of gray cattle who are not afraid of death rush to their enemies under the same red banner. Any country or force will have to retreat. This is the bitter lesson that Napoleon and the mustache brought to posterity with blood and tears.
-------------- Dividing Line-------------------
Marshal Alekseev did not know that Wang Tingjiao intended to trick him. He is currently having a big meal in the restaurant, and he has eaten three steaks, and seventeen or eighteen dim sum plus two bottles of red wine, one pre-dinner and one after-dinner wine. Although he was dizzy, he was still not very happy. How can Russian Maozi drink without vodka? It's like how can a stick not eat kimchi? This service must be given a bad review!
The unhappy local tyrant soon became really unhappy.
When Cheng Biguang found this Maozi, Marshal Alekseev was about to protest to Wang Tingjiao.
"Are you saying that the Japanese have already set out and will attack soon?" Marshal Alekseev wanted to scold his mother. Although he doesn't care about the victory or defeat on the Siberian battlefield, he will also be criticized for losing too badly. He didn't dare to fight against Hu Xiaoyan, the defeat on the battlefield in Beijing and the experience of the prisoner camp told him that there would be no good fruit to eat if he fought against Hu Xiaoyan. At least until the airship was sent to Moscow, it was not advisable to fight with the Qing people.
Marshal Alekseev was a standard hairyman, hot-tempered, selfish and arrogant were commonalities. But after working in a prisoner of war camp, those in Form 2 will also become smarter.
For example, he asked for the purchase of two luxury airships.
He is still very jealous of the deal behind Britain and Hu Xiaoyan, and the empty ship that is being transported to the London Peninsula. But he couldn't buy it. It is impossible for Hu Xiaoyan to sell him a military model.
It doesn't matter, you don't want a military model, you can always buy a luxury model, there are still very few things in this world that money can't buy, let alone a castrated version!
The technical parameters of the airship are actually quite simple. There is not much difference between the deluxe version and the military version. The main thing is that the interior is arranged differently. As long as you replace luxury items such as carpets with machine gun bomb ports, the luxury airship can be transformed into a weapon of war in no time. Even with the difference, Marshal Alekseev was confident that Russian scientists would solve the problem. Maozi has always been very confident.
So Alekseev still couldn't help but question Cheng Biguang, he knew very well that now was not the time to turn his face.
"Okay then. What do you recommend? Alekseev knew that he was not the one to lead the troops into battle, and now he could not find anyone to discuss.
"Breakout! Break through to your country's fortresses. Cheng Biguang gave the answer.
On the border of Heilongjiang and Jilin, Japan and Russia built many fortresses. Although Japan and Russia reached an agreement, neither country believed the other, so they built cement fortresses on the border. It's just that the fortress of Caijiagou on the Japanese side was blown up into the sky by airships. The army's chain of command was also fragmented under Maxine heavy machine gun attacks, which led to the rout of the Japanese army.
And if the Russians had enough troops, they could march to Changchun through Caijiagou. Changchun is the provincial capital of Jilin, and as long as you take this place, you can make a forced landing of the Japanese army. But the Russians did not have enough troops.
At present, the Qing government is still in power in Heilongjiang, and the Russians are only responsible for collecting taxes from these local governments. With the local government of the Qing State intervening, Heilongjiang's resistance would not be too strong. Alekseev did follow Hu Xiaoyan's advice in this regard, thus reducing a lot of losses.
Since the Battle of Peking, the Russians have spent nearly eight months mobilizing at least 20,000 men from Europe to Siberia, and the Siberian governor has 50,000 troops at his disposal, but 50,000 people are put into the vast northeast and a drop of water is melted into the sea. That's why the Russians will accept Hu Xiaoyan's suggestion, and that's why Alekseev will be anxious about the 10,000-strong troops in Caijiagou. If these 10,000 troops are wiped out, it will have an irreparable impact on the situation in Heilongjiang and Siberia as a whole.
The Trans-Siberian Railway, which began construction in 1891, was not officially completed until 1916, and now the time and cost of transferring troops from Moscow was enough to distress the Tsar for a long time.
"Okay." Marshal Alekseev is a good hairyman, but a reformed hairyman, a hairy man who has detached himself from low-level tastes.
After writing the warrant, Cheng Biguang took Alekseev's personal guards on the airboat and flew to the Caijiagou military camp. It was originally a Japanese garrison.
But after the guards looked down, their hearts were half cold. None of them. The night was full of artillery and gunfire. You can't tell friend or foe at all. Not to mention having airships provide support.
"Let me go." The guards twitched.
"Are you sure?" Cheng Biguang couldn't help laughing. From the moment he listened to Wang Tingjiao's delaying order, he could imagine the expressions of Alekseev and this personal guard at this time. But imagining and seeing are two different things.
"I'm sure. I came with orders. It's my duty to complete the order! There was a sense of sacredness on the face of the guard at this moment.
Cheng Biguang was suddenly in awe. It is not unreasonable that the Russians were able to develop into the gendarmes of Europe with their weak technology, which is the great wall built by the flesh and blood of countless low-ranking officers like the guards who are not afraid of death.
Thinking of the difference between the quality of the soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division and this personal guard, he was a little overshadowed.
"I'll try to dock directly above the barracks. Good luck. ”
"God is with you!" The guards saluted, turned around and began to prepare. There's actually nothing to prepare for. A revolver, a rifle. The guards scrutinized the guns and ammunition with their eyes.
If every soldier of the Beiyang Naval Division had this spirit of personal defense, why did the Beiyang Naval Division not even sink a single battleship of the Japanese Navy when it was completely annihilated?
Cheng Biguang looked down with a telescope and calmly directed the airship forward and reversed. Finally reached the top of what appeared to be a barracks.
"Let's go down. I hope to see you after the war. Cheng Biguang saluted.
After returning the salute, the guards slid down the rope thrown by the air force soldiers.
Cheng Biguang watched the guard slide off the ground, and his mood was not calm. He was sure that the guard would not survive the war. Because on the battlefield it is almost one-sided. Countless fires squeezed in the direction of the barracks from all directions. And because the Russian troops in the barracks did not get the prompt of the airship, they were raided by five times as many Japanese troops, and there was no room to fight back. Everywhere there was the sound of artillery firing at the barracks. Everywhere was the roar of the Japanese army "kill and give".
"General, what shall we do?" The adjutant leaned in.
"We?" Cheng Biguang was a little dazed, it stands to reason that Japan and Russia are his enemies. And the number of enemy casualties is none of his business. But as a soldier whose duty is to obey orders, he can't convince himself to stand by. If the Russians are defeated, the Japanese army will dominate in the Northeast! Will Liaoning be able to hold on to it then?
Cheng Biguang unfolded the military order that Wang Tingjiao had explained before: "Before the Japanese army occupied the barracks, they carried out indiscriminate bombing within a radius of ten miles around the barracks. This decrees the Governor's Palace. ”
Cheng Biguang shook his head and handed the military order to the adjutant.
"Carry out the military orders."
