Section 97 Guerrilla Warfare

In mid-December, Yang Chao spent fifteen days in a row to transport 20,000 Russian troops into Lushun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Russians were scolded as gray animals, they were really able to endure hardships, and every time Yang Chao set off by airship, they could squeeze in 800 people, almost full loaded.

Fengtian (Shenyang) to Lushun is about 400 kilometers, after several test flights, Yang Chao has figured out the principle of the airship, and changed Zeppelin's way of hanging the engine directly on the steel cable hanging under the shell to put it on the shell, so that the integrity is better, and a larger engine can be replaced.

After the improvement, the speed of the airship reached 150 kilometers per hour, and it took more than five hours to make a round trip, and it could make a maximum of two trips a night, transporting 1,600 people, and 15 days was also the limit.

In this way, the Japanese, unwittingly, the Russians strengthened the forces of Arthur.

"Brother Wu, you're finally back. You're back, and I'm ready to start the lesson. ”

At the end of December, Wu Peifu returned.

Yang Chao temporarily interrupted the follow-up transportation of materials from the Russians, and immediately rushed back to Shandong to discuss major matters with Wu Peifu.

Yang Chao wants to give Wu Peifu a lesson.

What lessons?

Guerrilla warfare!

"There is no secret, it is to preserve strength and destroy the enemy."

"First, the priority of preserving strength is higher than destroying the enemy. All legal and illegal means can be used, such as sneak attacks, ambushes, arson, poisoning, as long as they attack the Russians and the Japanese. Remember that we have no friends, they are all enemies. ”

"Second, we should win over all the forces that can be co-opted, whether it is bandits or group training, as long as they fight foreigners, they are our friends and can form an alliance temporarily. Give them money, give them guns, and even make official wishes. ”

If Yang Chao didn't have discipline, not only did he stunned Wu Peifu, but even the black bull and their group of big bosses blushed.

Yang Chao waited until Wu Peifu came back, and then called all the soldiers, including Ma Huowa, to give them a short-term training.

Yang Chao continued: "I will secretly send you to the Northeast. I hope each and every one of you will come back alive. Now I'm going to teach you some secrets, called the theory of guerrilla warfare. The so-called: the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and I fight, the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I pursue. To sum up, it is to use the method of sports warfare, not to compete with the enemy for any fixed city stronghold, and to hide in the mountains. The fundamental purpose is to strike at the enemy and preserve strength, and the importance of preserving strength is to preserve your strength, because your presence in the northeast is the greatest blow to the enemy. And it is also a kind of meaning, a declaration of the existence of China's armed forces. ”

"But the purpose of I asked you to go to the Northeast, do you know?"

Of course, no one knows, now the Northeast is in chaos, the Russians, the Japanese, bandits, horse thieves, the Qing army, at this time to go to the Northeast, but also the Japanese and Russians as enemies, who would have thought of what purpose.

"Brother Wu, tell me."

Wu Peifu shook his head.

Yang Chao said again: "What did I send you to Germany for?" ”

Wu Peifu said: "Go to military school and learn military skills. ”

Yang Chao said: "That's right, go to a military school, but it's not just about learning skills, if the purpose of going to a military school is just to learn a skill, then the pattern is too small." The purpose of letting you go to military school is to let you study war. You now understand why I asked you to come back. ”

Wu Peifu frowned: "Learn war? ”

Yang Chao said: "That's right, learning war, no military school can train people compared to real war." War is the best military school, and learning war in the midst of war is the best way to learn. ”

Wu Peifu nodded after hearing this, feeling very reasonable.

"Remember, all methods such as lurking, sneak attack, assassination, poisoning, arson, etc., as long as they can kill the enemy, are worth learning."

"Also, save your life."

After a thousand instructions, these people memorized their words, and then took them on board the airship bound for Mukden.

However, after sparing a circle, he put these people behind the Russian army, in the Tieling Mountains north of Mukden.

This group of people is equivalent to being free-range by Yang Chao, they will rely on their own skills to survive the Russian-Japanese war, and then recruit rebels to unknowingly master an army that may be unreliable, but it seems to be able to scare people.

Then Yang Chao continued to deliver supplies to the Russian army, mainly grain and vegetables, all of which were wheat and Chinese cabbage produced in the Northeast.

Due to the pressure of transportation, more than ninety percent of the Russian army's grain supply in the northeast was requisitioned on the spot, and to put it mildly, it was snatched from the people of the northeast.

This made Yang Chao very unhappy, but he still helped them send them to Lushun.

What is puzzling is that the Japanese mobilized new troops at home with great fanfare, and indeed sent many soldiers to Lushun, but the attack never began, and after losing the heavy artillery, their mountain artillery did not dare to show off, because the Russians have always had much more heavy artillery than the Japanese, and they dismantled the naval guns of the Pacific Fleet to use as shore-based artillery, which is the heavy artillery of the heavy artillery, and the caliber of more than 300 abounds.

If the Japanese mountain artillery dared to expose the target, it was bound to be hit mercilessly.

So the reason why the Japanese did not act was that they did not have artillery, and at the same time they continued to strengthen their forces, and they wanted to use their superiority in forces to overwhelm the Russians.

At the same time, although he replenished some troops, Konterachenko did not launch a counterattack, because his soldiers were indeed too tired, and although the additional 20,000 men, although the strength was nearly 60,000, he only strengthened his existing position, and did not intend to counterattack the Japanese army with more than 150,000 people.

Yang Chao thought that the Russians' choice was also safe, just hold on, wait for the arrival of the Second Fleet, and then fight with the Japanese for sea power, Yang Chao was very interested in seeing the Russians shelling Japanese ports.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, Lushun is still calm, and after Yang Chao helped Kantrachenko deliver a batch of machine guns and bullets, he will spend the New Year in Dashifang with peace of mind.

For a few years, Yang Chao spent the New Year here, but the soldiers left, still deserted.

"Company commander, do you want to fight?"

The soldiers that Yang Chao was thinking about were lurking outside a village by the Liao River in Tieling at this time, the weather was freezing and freezing cold, and each of them was wearing thick cotton clothes, but they still couldn't help but shiver.

At this time, forty or fifty of them, which should be a company, were coming out of the village with a loud shout, some carrying killed chickens, some carrying a piece of bacon in their hands, some leading a sheep, others also carrying bulging burdens, and the village behind them was crying.

"Wait until you're closer!"

Ma Huowa, who was appointed as a company commander, had a pair of blue eyes and a bright eye, and it was difficult for a Polish to have a good impression of the Russians, even if his father was a Russian drunkard.

The Russians were careless, laughing and walking by the river, and in the distance there were their horses, and a few soldiers were bathing the horses.

Ma Huowa did not dare to be careless, he knew that these were the famous Cossack cavalry, the worst military discipline and the fiercest battle.

"Zhang Guozhu, Feng Jincai, Wang Xuanli, one of the three of you, remember that one shot will knock down the three horse washers. The others joined me in sending the Cossacks to Hades with two guns. Listen to the sound of my gun. ”

After saying that, he patted a few people around him, and the three of them quietly walked around the forest with their rifles and lurked towards the three Cossacks who were washing horses.

And Ma Huowa lowered his body even more, his eyes were like wolves, staring at the Cossack brigade that was getting closer and closer.

A low bush slipped beside the official road, which covered their figures, and they were not found until the Cossacks approached.

"Hit!"

Ma Huwa was the first to jump out, holding a shell gun on the left and right, and slammed the trigger when he opened it, and the Mauser rifle made a dense sound.

The Russians were startled, and then died, because suddenly rushed out of the crowd more than sixty guys with twin guns and constantly pressing the trigger, and the firepower of the cheats was something they had never seen before, even if the pistols were not on target, at such a close distance, swept by hundreds of bullets, it was strange not to die.

"Company commander, they're all killed!"

Zhang Guozhu and they soon returned, with their rifles behind their backs.

"What now?"

Black Bull asked.

"Take the horse, put away the Cossack knives and rifles, and we'll go to the village." Lord Yang said that in this case, it should be possible to recruit troops. ”

Wu Peifu always followed the team and did not say a word.

He studied at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany for three years, but it is really not much to say what he has learned in these three years.

All students studying in Germany are required to study in the Advanced Preparatory Department.

Although it is to encourage international students with indemnity, the Germans are somewhat reluctant, but German universities are quite formal, wide in and strict out, maybe it is a little easier to enter, but if you want to graduate and get a diploma, you really have to learn the ability, and you can only succeed if you pass various assessments.

In response to the poor foundation of Chinese students, the German education community has developed a strict preparatory system to give these students basic knowledge, and at the same time let them learn German Chinese and basic natural science knowledge.

The reason why Wu Peifu didn't learn anything was because of this language pass, he spent three or two years learning German, and at the same time reviewing the basic knowledge, and in the third year, he passed the language pass, and the foundation was passed, so he entered the military academy to study.

In other words, Wu Peifu has only studied for one year, and he has not been exposed to many advanced military theories, but there has been a lot of military training in the past three years, and his military skills are also qualified.

Like Wu Peifu, he is already good, after all, he is a showman, a showman who has been tested with real swords and guns, he has no problems intellectually, and he is willing to work hard. However, some students have not passed the language barrier in three years, and the German preparatory department is designed for four years, and the next undergraduate is four years, that is, those students who study engineering must have at least eight years to graduate from engineering school.

Of course, Wu Peifu has not finished his studies yet, and he still has to go to Germany to study for at least a year, provided that he can return alive from Liaodong.

In Liaodong, Wu Peifu felt that his role was very limited, and he was now holding a series of maps given by Yang Chao and doing the work of a scout.

The map given by Yang Chao is very detailed, mainly the map of the Fengtian area, and even some ravines and ravines are extremely accurate, but there is a problem, there is no name on it, this is a topographic map without any place name.

What Wu Peifu is doing now is to mark the names of places one by one, such as the current village Niubao Village.
