After the special operations detachment had hunted for two hours, the scouts deployed by the Japanese army outside the west gate of Liaoyang City were all turned into corpses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Then, a large number of people began to approach Simon.
At the same time, the closed gate of the west gate of Liaoyang City was also opened, and after dozens of Russian troops rushed out, they went straight to the official road to suppress a large flow of people.
"Why is there only a thousand prisoners of war, and not a single officer above the colonel level has ......," the Russian officer who left the city asked Wang Hu who led the team with a frown.
Wang Hu replied as a matter of course: "Of course, there are only 1,000 prisoners of war." I have given you all the prisoners, if you don't let out of Liaoyang City, we will not lose a lot. “
"Our commander said, give you a thousand prisoners, my Liaodong Army will enter the city with a regiment, and your Russian army will also have to leave the city with a regiment. Liaoyang City is too big, in order to ensure the stability of Liaoyang City, and in order not to give the Japanese army a chance, we have to change the defense one place at a time. ”
"As for the dozen or so high-ranking officers among the captives, we will hand them over to you in the end......"
"There's still half an hour left before our agreed trading time, enough for you to report to your commander and get ready. I'm sure your commander will understand why we're doing this, and you'll agree to make a deal with us like this......"
The headquarters of the Russian army in Liaoyang City, after listening to the report of his subordinates on the transaction method proposed by the Liaodong Army. The commander of the Russian army not only did not get angry, but said with admiration and emotion: "The reason why the Liaodong Army has been able to develop and grow in such a short period of time is not without reason. ”
"A deal can be so well arranged by them. Even if we really have any means, we can't use it after such an arrangement by the Liaodong Army. If my guess is correct, there must be a master in the Liaodong Army, or Yang Xingguo, the commander of the Liaodong Army, is this master. ”
After finishing his emotion, he ordered directly to the chief of staff: "Reply to the Liaodong Army, I agree with their trading methods." ”
"Chief of Staff, you immediately arrange for the exchange of troops and the Liaodong Army to belong to the order of our departure from the city. Also, all the supplies we should take with us crashed, and every troop that left the city had to take a batch. ”
After the Liaodong Army entered the city, the first thing it received was the Russian army's material warehouse in the city, and all these materials were sealed.
The commander of the Russian army, with the last guard regiment and dozens of senior officers who had just been sent back by the Liaodong Army, had just left Liaoyang City with the front foot, and Yang Xingguo entered Liaoyang City with the back foot, and determined the original Russian army headquarters as the former enemy headquarters of the Liaodong Army.
Look at the headquarters in front of you, which is spacious and bright, and there are even electric lights. Zhou Zhongju couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Commander, this is the real headquarters, compared to here, our headquarters in Liaozhong is not even as good as the duty room here......"
Yang Xingguo replied confidently: "Yes, deputy commander, I promise, it won't take too long, we will have a better command than here." ”
Less than a few hours after occupying Liaoyang City, Yang Xingguo, who said this, had already begun to plan his next target.
However, Yang Xingguo can only think about it, because, whether it is strength or timing, now is not the time for him to plot this goal.
After couldn't help but show a wry smile, Yang Xingguo immediately turned his attention to Liaoyang City, which was already owned by him.
After thinking about it, he directly ordered Zhou Zhongju: "The three regiments of the guard brigade that entered the city, the first division and two regiments, all under the command of Wang Hu, entered the city defense position, and prepared for battle." ”
"Although we deduced that it was impossible for the Japanese army to break with us and take the initiative to attack us. But just in case, we still have to be on guard. Tell Wang Hu that the troops must have sufficient ammunition reserves and be ready to fight a big battle at any time. “
"Also, in order to strengthen the firepower of the city defense, deputy commander, you draw forty from the middle of the heavy machine guns that have just been captured, and the city defense positions in the four directions of Liaoyang City are divided into ten in each direction."
"The Second Regiment of the Guard Brigade is responsible for the vigilance of the whole city and the defense of the former enemy headquarters. At the same time, cooperate with the deputy commander to count our harvest in Liaoyang City......"
"The mission of the special operations detachment remains unchanged, continuing to monitor every move of the Japanese and Russian armies......"
In the end, Zhou Qiangsheng and Li Zhilong, who remained in the position, were ordered to prepare for battle with the whole army to prepare for the Japanese army. The two divisions formed a joint command center, with Zhou Qiangsheng as the commander-in-chief and Li Zhilong as the deputy commander, and when they disagreed, they reported to me and I made the decision. ”
After the order was issued, Yang Xingguo, who had only squinted for several days, rarely had time to take a good rest.
However, this break is only a pitiful few hours.
At dawn the next day, he didn't sleep all night, and Zhou Zhongju, who had two dark circles under his eyes but was excited, rushed into the headquarters to wake Yang Xingguo up.
"Commander, we have made a lot of money, and we have made a lot of money by exchanging five thousand prisoners of war for Liaoyang City."
"Not to mention anything else, the captured grain alone is enough for the entire Liaodong Army to eat for a year. There are also all kinds of canned meat transferred from the Russian army, which can also ensure that the whole army does not need to buy meat for half a year. In addition, more than 70,000 sets of quilts and military coats used by the Russian army for winter were found in a material warehouse. ”
"So much, it seems that the Russian army has the intention of fighting a protracted war with the Japanese army here. It's just that I didn't expect that with so many supplies prepared, the battle would end so quickly. Yang Xingguo, who looked happy, said to himself.
"Commander, that's not all. In addition to food and clothing, we also found at least 3,000 tents and two warehouses of various other supplies, including dozens of tons of various medicines......"
"Commander, there are too many things, it is definitely unrealistic to transport them back to Liaozhong, what do you say?"
Yang Xingguo thought about it and replied: "We have the new grain that has just been harvested, and the Russian army must have hoarded all the stored grain." The grain was not wanted, and it was handed over to the Ministry of Commerce for them to dispose of and exchange for silver. ”
"All the medicines were sent to the field hospital, and as for the clothes, all of them were left for re-dyeing, and we used them ourselves."
"All other materials were left behind, and they were hoarded in Liaoyang."
After recording all of Yang Xingguo's decisions, Zhou Zhongju continued: "Commander, in addition to materials, we also have a very big harvest, which is definitely beyond your imagination. ”
"When we collected the materials, we found the Liaoyang household registration that was sealed by Lao Maozi. There are nearly 20,000 people in the entire Liaoyang and Guangxian counties. Counting the surrounding villages and towns, 200,000 people are definitely indispensable. In addition, there are at least 100,000 refugees in Liaoyang. ”
"In other words, within the jurisdiction of our Liaodong Army, there are at least 300,000 more people......"
"Commander, you said that with territory and population, we will have income and soldiers, and if 300,000 people are done well, at least 15,000 elites can be trained."
Yang Xingguo knew this truth better than anyone else, and in an instant, the smile on Yang Xingguo's face was shrouded in excitement.
"It was a big surprise...... Deputy commander, I have a request for you, no matter what, these 300,000 people must be settled. There are not many people, and population is the embodiment of strength. Forget about the locals of Liaoyang, it is very troublesome to migrate. But it is much easier for more than 100,000 refugees. Didn't we just occupy a few county towns behind us, and two of them were sparsely populated and sent refugees over. (To be continued.) )
