Sun Liechen, who had the most say in the army, replied after thinking about it: "In this case, commander, I will have at least three months!" ”

"No problem!" Yang Xingguo replied with a positive face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Even if the Japanese army can end the Battle of Mukden and the Battle of Lushun within two months. It will take two months for them to send troops and supplies from all over the country to encircle and suppress us. So, there is no problem with the timing. ”

Sun Liechen, who was determined in his heart, replied confidently: "If there is no problem with time, there will be no problem on the army's side!" ”

"In three months, you must hand over five main divisions, one guard division, and one heavy artillery division to the commander!"

At this time, Sun Liechen suddenly thought of something, and continued: "Wait a minute, I have another question here!" This time we have captured a lot of heavy artillery from the Japanese and Russian armies, and after replenishing all the losses, it is no problem to form three more heavy artillery regiments, commander, you see if you want to continue to expand the heavy artillery division! ”

"Expand, keep expanding!" Yang Xingguo made a very decisive decision: "The four regiments of the heavy artillery division are divided into two brigades, Zhong Hu and Zhang Shao have served as brigade commanders respectively, and each brigade has four blind heavy artillery regiments, which is not enough to capture next time!" ”

"Tell Zhong Hu and Zhang Shaozeng that after three months, these two heavy artillery brigades must all form combat effectiveness. Not surprisingly, the two heavy artillery brigades will be the key to our counterattack against the Japanese army's first heavy encirclement and suppression! ”

"Commander, what do I need to prepare?" Zhou Zhongju asked with a frown.

Yang Xingguo thought about it and replied: "You have to prepare more!" “

"First of all, the ammunition necessary for the combat of the troops, from now on, all the bullets from the arsenal will be hoarded. The weapons and ammunition seized from the Russian army, especially the shells, will be hidden for me. Once the battle starts, the daily ammunition consumption becomes astronomical, and in order to win the war, we must stock up on enough ammunition. “

"And then there's food and immigration! I don't have to worry about food, the food hoarded in the warehouse is enough even if I eat it for a year. So, another thing to prepare for is immigration! ”

"Immigration?" Zhou Zhongju asked rhetorically with a puzzled expression.

"Commander, we don't know if the Liaodong Army can survive this catastrophe at that time, and we don't care about immigration!"

"No!" Yang Xingguo vetoed very decisively.

"I'm sure that no matter how many heavy troops the Japanese army sends to encircle and suppress us, we can defeat them and turn the crisis into safety. However, immigration is different. ”

"After the end of the Russo-Japanese War, our role in Liaodong will not be great. If we can defeat even the powerful Japanese army, then the imperial court will definitely not let us continue to grow and develop as before. When the time comes, if we want to emigrate from Kannai, it will definitely be difficult. “

"So, my idea is that in the past few months, as many people can immigrate to Liaodong, as many people can come over. Didn't we just seize more than 20,000 rifles from the Japanese army, and all of them were taken to the customs for immigrants! ”

Zhou Zhongju looked shocked and asked: "Add more than 20,000 guns, that's two or three million immigrants." Coupled with the more than 10,000 guns that Minister Yan exchanged for, that is almost five million people...... Commander, do we have the strength to take over so many immigrants at once? ”

"Also, even if we could, we wouldn't have that much space to feed so many immigrants!"

"If you don't have food, then you use a rifle to exchange food in the customs, and if you don't have refined food, you can eat coarse grain. There were no cotton clothes, and they were also exchanged with rifles. If there is no house, then we will first arrange to go to all the resettlement areas under our control, and two or three families will temporarily live in one house, and our Liaodong Army will be responsible for providing food. ”

"I don't believe it, with more than 20,000 rifles and some heavy machine guns and artillery in my hands, I can't even solve these problems!"

"As for the territory you mentioned, if nothing else, it will be in a few months!"

At this time, not only Zhou Zhongju, but even Sun Liechen also showed a puzzled expression on his face, looking at Yang Xingguo with a smile.

Without letting them wait too long, Yang Xingguo said again: "The end of the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army sent heavy troops to retaliate against us for encirclement and suppression, in my opinion, this is not only a crisis, but also an opportunity, an opportunity to expand outward and increase strength!" ”

"As long as we defeat the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, we will be able to counterattack and occupy many county towns that originally belonged to the Japanese army!"

"My idea is that after this anti-encirclement campaign. Occupy all the counties in Liaodong except for the coast, and let us become a veritable Liaodong army! ”

After Yang Xingguo finished speaking, although both of them showed a stunned expression of disbelief.

But the confidence on Yang Xingguo's face has not changed from beginning to end.

Of course, Yang Xingguo didn't continue to explain anything to the two? This matter is so big that not only them, but even themselves wondered if they were a little too arrogant when they first made the decision.

But after careful analysis, Yang Xingguo affirmed that as long as the arrangement was appropriate, he definitely had the possibility of realizing this idea.

Because, not only do they hold tens of thousands of male soldiers in their hands, but in terms of proportion, they even exceed the heavy artillery of the Japanese army. What's more, he still has a killer weapon in his hand, and he has been fighting a special operations detachment in the Russo-Japanese battlefield to fight and train.

Yang Xingguo is confident that after such a long time of training, the special operations detachment will definitely give many people an unexpected surprise on the battlefield.

Not long after Zhou Zhongju and Sun Liechen left, Zhang Shanlin, who had just returned to the headquarters for less than a day, was called out to his room by Yang Xingguo.

It took three hours before Zhang Shanlin left the room with a sad face.

Subsequently, without saying a word of nonsense, he went straight back to the station of the special operations detachment.

A day later, the entire special operations detachment, except for one squadron, was left to protect the headquarters. The remaining nine squadrons all left the station and disappeared from view.

As the most elite unit of the Liaodong Army, although the strength is not large, no one dares to despise the special operations detachment.

Therefore, as soon as the special operations detachment disappeared, everyone began to speculate that the special operations detachment must have some ulterior important mission.

Chief of Staff Sun Liechen was no exception.

Since the establishment of the special operations detachment, although it has only listened to the orders of Yang Xingguo. But since he served as chief of staff, Yang Xingguo would inform himself in almost every major operation that he would order the main force to cooperate. “

Now, the special operations detachment is all dispatched, and the task it is carrying out will certainly not be small.

Since it is a big operation, it is reasonable, and the commander still lets himself know.

Otherwise, once the operation of the special operations detachment fails, the main forces will not even be prepared to respond.

As soon as Sun Liechen entered his room with a question on his face, Yang Xingguo knew the other party's purpose, and then rushed in front of Sun Liechen and said.

"Chief of Staff, I can't tell you the whereabouts and tasks of the special operations detachment for the time being, because I don't know if this matter is likely to succeed. In addition, this operation of the special operations detachment, whether it succeeds or fails, will not affect the main force, so you don't have to worry too much! ”

Sun Liechen held back his stomach and was pushed back by Yang Xingguo before he could say anything.

Sun Liechen, who looked unwilling, still didn't give up and asked: "Commander, you can't reveal any news!" “

Yang Xingguo thought about it and replied: "I can tell you a little, but before it happens, you must keep it secret!" ”

After getting Sun Liechen's affirmation, Yang Xingguo said with a mysterious face: "The special operations detachment went to trouble the Japanese, and it was a big trouble. If the matter is done, in the heavy encirclement and suppression that the Japanese army may launch in the future, it will definitely be able to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese army! As for the rest, I can't say more. (To be continued.) )
