Chapter 298: Keep the Good Things
The scene of Nogi Nishinori suddenly scolding the War Department, and Ding Ruchang and overturning the documents on the table to the ground made the military personnel who were working suddenly stop their work and raised their heads and looked at Nogi Nishinori in amazement.
No one knows why Nogi went crazy all of a sudden.
Others don't know, but Saburo Ono knows too well. Quite simply, Nogi was very opposed to the order issued by the War Department to conduct military exercises in North Korea last time and did not intend to carry it out.
When he received the order, Nogi Nishinori once said to himself that Ding Ruchang looked extremely weak, and he had kept his distance from himself in the past two years, but this does not mean that Ding Ruchang is a good bully.
I didn't believe it at first, but now, looking at the troop movement of the Liaodong Army in the north, I believe that the Japanese garrison in the whole of Korea is only 35,000 people, and only more than 20,000 people participated in the exercise at the beginning, and in order to avoid overstimulating Liaodong, the location of the exercise was nearly 200 miles away from the border.
It was only a few days after the exercise ended, and Ding Ruchang held an exercise, and he mobilized 40,000 troops at once, and the location of the exercise was only a dozen kilometers away from the border line. What does this prove, this can only prove that he has stimulated Ding Ruchang.
"The herald ordered the divisions to immediately enter combat readiness, in addition. Immediately dispatched intelligence personnel to North Korea to pay close attention to the actions of North Korea's Ding Ruchang headquarters. Nogi Nishinori's voice was silent for a long time, and then he remembered again in the silent military headquarters.
First stunned, then chaotic.
Saburo Ono frowned, and after seeing the staff officers go out to give orders, he stepped forward and came to the side of Nogi Nishinori: "Your Excellency, is this a big fuss." ”
Make a big fuss, Nogi Nishinori frowned, he doesn't think so, if this is the Qing Dynasty's troops, he really thinks it's a big fuss, the crux of the matter is, what the hell is Liu Jun's troops, who is Liu Jun, insidious, despicable and shameless obscene fanatics.
Again and again, he was planted under his meanness. And Ding Ruchang, under Li Hongzhang, is still an honest person, but in the past two years, he has been influenced by Liu Jun's consent to despicable.
If Ding Ruchang is a drill this time, it is okay, if he comes all of a sudden, he does not even have time to resist and mobilize the army, and the distance of ten kilometers will be less than an hour for the Liaodong Army, and it will be possible to reach the front line in less than an hour.
There's nothing wrong with being careful. Nogi Nishinori was really scared. In order to rub his temples, he looked at Saburo Ono with an expectant face: "Could it be that Dandong, you forgot about Pyongyang." ”
As soon as he woke up, Ono Saburo had forgotten his mother, and he would not forget Pyongyang two years ago, and Liu Jun withdrew first to fight, which was really despicable.
"My subordinates understood." Saburo Ono nodded, turned around and walked out. He was going to instruct himself.
The castle is a small village surrounded by mountains, and a rugged path runs from north to south, and from the castle you are fifteen kilometers south into the Japanese-controlled ground.
The biting cold wind blows the treetops, carries snowflakes into the sky, and then flies all over the sky. The vast white snow and the white snow everywhere make the castle enter the fairy tale world.
"Ready? A cry like a bell. I saw a military steward wearing a green military uniform and holding a small red pennant in his hand giving orders.
"Put."
Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ...... The deafening roar suddenly broke the silence in the castle and broke the general beauty of the painting.
The pungent smoke of gunpowder, the smoke rising, and the branches of the trees that had been blown up by the dirt that had been blown up into the sky suddenly fell to the ground with the wind, making a crackling sound.
The Liaodong Army's exercises against Japan officially began.
In a residential house in the ancient castle, Liu Jun, who was dressed in a green marshal's suit, raised his binoculars and looked at the flames of the bombing on the hillside in the distance, and suddenly showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Strange, why didn't I see the shadow of the mortar?" Zheng Yiqian raised the telescope for a long time and found that the artillery on the mountain was all field artillery, and there were no mortars equipped by the Liaodong Army. Puzzled, he put down the binoculars and looked at Ding Ruchang, who was observing from the side.
Ding Ruchang was hesitant and didn't know how to explain to this fourth lady.
"Will your family show all the good things to the robbers, and then let them prepare to rob you?" Liu Jun glanced at Ding Ruchang's expression of not knowing what to say, and after looking at Zheng Yiqian, who was staring at her eyes and wanted to know the answer, he couldn't understand that such a shrewd girl was actually an idiot today.
The purpose of not allowing mortars to appear on the acting battlefield is to keep secrets, what Zheng Yiqian didn't know was that this time, not only did the mortars not go into battle, but even the light machine guns that had just been equipped with the troops did not appear.
The light machine gun was made by Liu Jun according to Liu Jun's memory of the Czech light machine gun in later military books and made it for the Lushun Military Cooperation Bureau. The people of the Ordnance Bureau are indeed very capable, and in less than a year, it was the light machine gun that was manufactured and successfully test-fired, and then began to mass-produce and equip the troops.
Although the mortar was equipped with the troops as early as two years ago, this kind of weapon, except after it was used in Outer Mongolia, has been sealed in the armories of various armies, and not many people know about its existence, even if it is the Praetorian Guard, they will not take it out.
And Zheng Yiqian didn't know all this, so she would ask this stupid question.
"You're smart." Zheng Yiqian snorted coldly, didn't pay attention to Liu Jun, turned around and raised the telescope again.
Liu Jun opened his mouth, smiled helplessly, and this time walked to Zheng Yiqian's side and looked at the telescope in his hand.
The shelling has ended, and now, thousands of Liaodong troops are shouting and starting to attack on the top of the mountain.
"Head, you're saying we're making such a big fuss. Will the Japanese know? Looking at the attacking army all over the mountain, Zhong Lin lowered his head and pondered, and asked Liu Jun a very important question.
Zhong Lin knew that this exercise was for the Japanese to see, and if the Japanese could not see it, the exercise would not have achieved its goal.
Liu Jun frowned and looked at Ding Ruchang next to him: "You asked him about this, I don't know?" ”
I don't know, there is still a problem that the head doesn't know, Zhong Lin's eyes widened, although he didn't believe it, but when he saw Liu Jun raise the telescope again, he could only look at Ding Ruchang.
"Don't worry, when we started the military exercise, we opened the border intentionally or unintentionally, and I can guarantee that there are definitely a lot of spies who are now around, observing the exercise outside." Ding Ruchang smiled confidently, and then said lightly to Zhong Lin.
"Cut, or the head of intelligence, I don't know anything about it." Zheng Yiqian, who finally got back face, has always been angry about Liu Jun's blow just now, and now that she sees Zhong Lin deflated, she finally has an object to vent her anger.
For Zheng Yiqian, Zhong Lin only had the share of surrender, hehe laughed a few times, he didn't talk to him, but stood in front of the observation mouth with everyone, watching this drill that had blown up the snow in the entire castle.
The exercise continued, and the more than 40,000 troops participating in the exercise were fighting in full swing within a radius of 10 kilometers around the castle. The burning smoke obscured the entire Sino-Japanese border. The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke drifted into the places under Japanese control with the wind, and it could not disappear for several days.
At the headquarters of the Second Army of the Japanese Army, Nogi Nishinori's face was almost green, and now all the documents in front of him were documents sorted out by Ono Saburo after being sent by intelligence officers from various places.
Needless to say, 40,000 people have long been known from the mobilization of the Liaodong Army, and what surprised and annoyed Nogi Nishinori was that the Liaodong Army used at least more than 150 field artillery pieces in this military exercise.
This is only half of Ding Ruchang's troops, if he really goes to war, it means that he will fight with more than 70,000 people in Ding Ruchang, and this battle can still be won. Nogi Nishinori was suddenly confused about the future war.
