However, Sun Liechen didn't be happy for too long before frowning and asking: "Tens of thousands of Beiyang troops, and the family members who are related to them are not millions, but hundreds of thousands. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info so many people, if there is no support from the imperial court, how can they migrate to Guanwai! ”
Seeing that the expression on Yang Xingguo's face did not change because of these words, Sun Liechen, who knew Yang Xingguo, immediately asked, "Commander, have you already thought of a solution?" ”
Yang Xingguo nodded without hesitation and affirmed: "Thirty or forty thousand prisoners, excluding those who are willing to join the Liaodong Army, there are at least 15,000 people left, all of whom are die-hard soldiers of the Beiyang Army and almost all officers." These people are useless to us, but they are of great use to Yuan Shikai. We exchange these people for hundreds of thousands of people, and Yuan Shikai will definitely agree. ”
"These soldiers are all recruited by the Beiyang Army, and their families must be in the territory controlled by the Beiyang Army. As long as Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang Army agree to assist us, there will be no problem at all in relocating their families to Guanwai. ”
"Yuan Shikai will negotiate with us?" Sun Liechen was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then asked rhetorically.
"Definitely!" Yang Xingguo replied without hesitation.
"Yuan Shikai wants to quickly restore the strength of the Beiyang Army and reorganize the lost Six Towns Army, and the more than 10,000 officers and veterans of the Beiyang Army who have been captured by us must go back. Otherwise, Yuan Shikai has no foundation for expanding the army at all, and even if the troops are forcibly expanded, those newly expanded troops will have no combat effectiveness because they have no veterans and officers. ”
"Really!" Sun Liechen said with a sudden realization.
"The six towns of the Beiyang Army in the three eastern provinces, except for the three towns, which were directly transferred from the Guannai by the Beiyang Army, the remaining three towns were newly formed by them in the three eastern provinces. In order to form the army of these three towns, Yuan Shikai will definitely send all the officers who can be used in his hands to Guanwai, and now all of them have been captured by us, Yuan Shikai has really no other way to get so many officers in a short period of time except to negotiate with us. ”
Yang Xingguo nodded affirmatively: "Then it's no problem, as long as these captives are in hand, the initiative between us and Yuan Shikai is in our own hands." ”
After this problem was solved, Yang Xingguo shifted his attention to Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, which had not yet been attacked by the Liaodong Army.
Sun Liechen replied in his heart: "Commander, the offensive of our team in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces can already begin. The two army commanders, Zhou Qiangsheng and Zhao Zhigang, have already led their troops to Mukden, and each of them has brought more than two regiments of troops, although it is still far from being fully organized into an army. However, after replenishing them with 10,000 Beiyang Army prisoners, there should be no problem at all in taking Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. Commander, see if you should first replenish them with 10,000 new troops, and then start attacking Jilin and Heilongjiang. ”
"According to the intelligence sent by the deputy commander, the news that we have taken Mukden has been opened. Now that the two provinces have begun to panic, it is the best time for us to enter the two provinces. ”
"Then start attacking!" After some hesitation, Yang Xingguo ordered decisively.
"Tell the two army commanders not to rush after entering the two provinces, and to fight steadily. There are not many remaining imperial court officers and troops in the two provinces, and the retreat has been blocked by us, they don't need to worry, as long as they can completely annihilate all the imperial court officials and troops in the two provinces and ensure the stability of the two provinces, they will win! ”
"In addition, I would like to remind them that after entering the two provinces, they should first transfer at least one regiment of troops from each to directly penetrate the communication arteries of the Mongolian cavalry and the Russian army that may invade the two provinces, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Mongolian cavalry and the Russian army at that time."
After the two armies left with their prisoners, just as Zaitao had deduced. Yang Xingguo suddenly had no soldiers to send.
In the end, even the huge Fengtian City had to be defended by the remaining two guard regiments of the Liaodong Army Guard Division.
At this moment, the Liaodong Army was in the Shanhaiguan and Yingkou areas, and there was only one main regiment left.
Although the headquarters had drawn from the local area, a number of garrisons were able to supplement them, and the two regiments were to be expanded into two divisions. But in a short period of time, there is no way to complete it at all, and even if it is completed, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly reduced.
The Fourth Army of the Liaodong Army, which was engaged in a confrontation with more than 100,000 Japanese troops in Lushun, although the strength of the two main divisions was not mobilized. But in front of more than 100,000 Japanese troops, both the strength and firepower were crushed.
If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese military headquarters sent a large number of veterans from the Manchurian Army back to China to form new troops, and then transferred a large number of new recruits from the country to supplement the Manchurian Army, the combat effectiveness of the Manchurian Army would have been seriously weakened.
The commander-in-chief of the Manchurian Army, Da Shanyan, would definitely not let go of this opportunity to attack the Liaodong Army and wash away the shame.
Under these circumstances, the imperial court suddenly found Japan, took revenge on the rich iron ore resources of the three eastern provinces, and invited the Manchurian Army to send troops to drag down the 20,000 Liaodong Army in the direction of Lushun. Da Shanyan, who wanted to seek revenge on the Liaodong Army and was worried about the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, instigated the country to agree to the court's request as soon as he got the news.
In the words of Dashanyan, if it were not for the Manchurian Army to replenish a large number of new troops, taking advantage of the main force of the Liaodong Army leaving Liaodong, the Manchurian Army alone would have been able to take Liaodong by itself. Now with the help of the Qing Imperial Court, Dashanyan has no last bit of worry.
In order to make the country agree to the proposal of the Great Qing State, Dashanyan, who was full of confidence, even shouted to the military department that as long as the military department agreed to cooperate with the Great Qing State, the Manchurian Army would have the ability to control the entire Liaodong and turn Liaodong into an imperial colony.
As soon as the Japanese government agreed to cooperate with itself in attacking the Liaodong Army, Zaitao began to mobilize troops under the authorization of Cixi.
The new army of the five towns from the north and south of the Yangtze River, except for the two towns that continued to move north, attacked and advanced in the direction of Tongliao. The remaining three towns of the army went straight to Shanhaiguan, and with the cooperation of the defenders of Shanhaiguan, attacked the Liaodong Army from Shanhaiguan.
The remaining two towns of the new army, under the personal command of Zaitao, rushed straight to Tianjin, boarded the ship from Tianjin, and with the cooperation of the Beiyang Naval Division, attacked Yingkou from the sea to cover the landing of the army from Yingkou in Liaodong.
The decisive battle was the first to start in the direction of Tongliao, and the new army of the two towns.
Because he knew that the Liaodong Army was outside Tongliao City, and through various breakthroughs, he continuously eliminated the three-way army of the imperial court. The new imperial army of the two towns was hugged together from the moment they entered the territory of Tongliao.
20,000 elite troops, protecting more than 100 artillery pieces and a large number of baggage, slaughtered towards Tongliao City.
Except for a handful of sneak attacks, the more than 20,000 new troops of the imperial court, who were hardly attacked, easily rushed to the outside of Tongliao City. Then set up artillery and opened fire on Tongliao City to cover the infantry attack.
Because it was known that the Liaodong Army had captured a large number of artillery pieces of the Praetorian Guard, including more than a dozen heavy artillery. The new army of the two towns, which has more than 100 field guns, only uses one battalion and eighteen field guns at a time, hanging Tongliao City to fight! ”
