Chapter 372: Small Tactics of the Japanese Army

The lieutenant general of the Russian army now wants to slap himself in the mouth, regretting why he couldn't bear it in the first place, and he also said a cruel word to Yang Xingguo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, the lieutenant general is not a fool.

Although Yang Xingguo's answer was full of anger, it was not without room for relaxation. And the reason why Yang Xingguo said these words has only one purpose, that is, to ask himself for benefits.

Thinking of this, although the face of the Russian lieutenant general was not good-looking, he still asked in his calmest tone as much as possible.

"Commander Yang, tell me about your conditions, how will you return the cooperation between us and continue to negotiate with us?"

Yang Xingguo seemed to have expected such a scene for a long time, and replied without thinking: "According to my request more than two hours ago, buy back all the more than 30,000 Japanese nameplates in my hand." After you have fulfilled the promise of this deal, we will talk about the other ......"

The lieutenant general of the Russian army immediately replied with a sad face: "Commander Yang, even if I agree to your request, we can't take out so many rifles......"

"In the first few transactions, all the reserve rifles in our stock have been taken out. The 10,000 rifles I brought with me this time are already our last stockpile. If you want a rifle, you can only draw it from the front-line soldiers. However, now that the war is in the middle of nowhere, it is simply impossible to draw rifles from the front line......"

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied with a non-negotiable weapon: "If it was more than two hours ago, I would have given you a discount." But now, not a single rifle can be missing......"

"If you don't have a rifle, you can replace it with other weapons and ammunition, rifle bullets, heavy machine gun bullets, heavy machine guns, artillery, and even artillery shells, you can ......"

"If you can't do it, you can replace it with food, cloth, medicine, and so on."

"Of course. If your army is willing to pay, whether it is gold or silver, it will do. ”

Because the ammunition and material warehouses that the Russian army has been hoarding for several years have not been attacked by the Liaodong Army, plus after the Russian army occupies Liaodong. Hardly any major battles have been experienced, and all sorts of ammunition are constantly in reserve without being consumed.

Therefore, the Russian army is located in the arsenal in Liaoyang City, and it has definitely hoarded a large amount of ammunition that Yang Xingguo can't think of.

After some haggling, a total of 70,000 rifles and 7 million rounds of ammunition. It directly turned into 10,000 rifles, 20 million rifle bullets, 100 heavy machine guns, 10 million heavy machine gun bullets, 10,000 shells, 2 tons of medicine, and 1 million taels of silver.

With so many things, Yang Xingguo promised: even if the Liaodong Army cooperated with the Japanese, it would not attack the Russian army in a short time, and the Russian army was given five days to negotiate.

The lieutenant general of the Russian army, who was holding back his anger in his heart, immediately left Yang Xingguo's office. Prepare to return to Liaoyang as soon as possible and report to the commander-in-chief on the results of the negotiations just now.

Compared with the lieutenant general of the Russian army, Matsumoto returned to the general headquarters one step ahead.

After listening to Matsumoto's report on the entire negotiation process and results, Oyama Iwa's face was full of anger and helplessness for a while, as if the weather was changeable, constantly undergoing various changes.

After Matsumoto's report, a full minute passed, and Oyama Iwa said with a helpless face: "Matsumoto, you're right, whether it's weapons, ammunition or silver. We are all temporarily stored in the hands of the Liaodong Army. When we defeat the Russian army, we will definitely send heavy troops to take back all these things with interest. ”

Matsumoto breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Commander-in-chief, you agreed!" ”

"Hmm......" Oyama replied with a nod.

"Weapons, ammunition and various other supplies. It is drawn from our material reserves, and it is not enough to be drawn from the troops on the front. As for the silver, we will first take out the silver we have captured from all parts of Liaodong, and if it is not enough, we will use some military spending. ”

"Within three days, gather everything and send it to the Liaodong Army......"

Just when everyone was taking orders. When he was about to do something, the intelligence staff officer of the General Headquarters suddenly came in and reported.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I have just received information that the Russian military intelligence department is collecting the content of our negotiations with the Liaodong Army......"

"Baga, why are the Russians' noses so sensitive, we just know after the successful negotiations. They must be trying to gather intelligence and sabotage the negotiations between us and the Liaodong Army......" Dashan Yan frowned and scolded loudly.

The chief of staff next to him analyzed: "Now we are evenly matched with the Russians, and the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army is so strong, and there are tens of thousands of people. Everyone knows who the winner of this decisive battle will be as long as they have the support of the Liaodong Army......"

"The Russians must be trying to figure out the conditions we have set for the Liaodong Army, and then use the conditions that exceed ours to force the Liaodong Army to turn around and break with us and continue to attack us......"

At this time, Matsumoto spoke: "Please rest assured that the commander-in-chief and chief of staff will not attack us even if the Russian army offers better conditions, and at most it will remain ......neutral."

"At the time of the negotiations, the humble position has been affirmed, and the Liaodong Army intends to eat both ends, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and no one will help."

"Therefore, as long as we send what we promised them, the Liaodong Army will at least remain neutral......"

Matsumoto's assurances made the two men feel a lot less worried. However, the anger in the hearts of the two people against the Liaodong Army became even stronger.

In their view, the Liaodong Army's all-you-can-eat strategy was completely taking advantage of the situation and playing them into applause.

As the commander-in-chief of an army of more than 100,000 people, being played by an unknown Yang Xingguo is definitely an unprecedented shame for the two of them.

And at this moment, Matsumoto's eyes suddenly flashed two strange gazes.

Then, with a hint of excitement, he asked the silent chief of staff and Dashan Yan.

"Commander-in-chief, since the Russian army wants to know the content of our negotiations, can we use this matter to calculate them well and further weaken their strength and war reserves......

Oyama Iwa seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked, "Matsumoto-kun, what do you mean?" “

"Exaggerate the benefits we gave to the Liaodong Army by double or even triple, and let the Russian army know through secret channels......"

The chief of staff on the side had a light eye, and he suddenly reacted.

"I understand, if the Russian army wants the Liaodong Army to continue to attack us, then it must give the Liaodong Army more conditions than us. As far as we are concerned, no matter how many conditions there are, the Liaodong Army will not attack us again. However, it is not the same for the Russian army. “

"Their strength is so big, and there are so many material reserves. The more conditions were given to the Liaodong Army, the more they paid. In this way, the Russian army will have much less material reserves that can be used to conduct a decisive battle......"

"Of course, these effects will not be too big, but at least they can make the Russian army's heartache for a long time......"

Da Shanyan's eyes also lit up, and he decisively decided: "Although this small method has little effect, it is still okay to disgust and disgust our opponent, so we can do what Matsumoto said." (To be continued.) )
