"It's back, Commander, Division Commander Wang, they're back......" A scout of the guard brigade reported excitedly as soon as he rushed in front of Yang Xingguo. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As soon as he finished speaking, dense figures began to appear at the end of the official road.

Because of the telescope, Yang Xingguo clearly saw: "On the official road, except for a small number of soldiers who served as guards, they did not carry weights, and the other soldiers carried at least one rifle.

"Guard brigade, baggage regiment, what are you doing? Set off immediately, take over all the things brought back by the first division, count them, and send them back to Liaozhong. All the wounded and killed soldiers were also sent back to Liaozhong, and not a single wounded could appear on the front line. In addition, to assist the 1st Division, immediately change clothes, change back into the uniforms of our Liaodong Army, and change back the weapons. ”

Because the first division has the farthest running distance, from the beginning of the three divisions, Yang Xingguo is most worried about the first division, and he is afraid that the first division will be dumplings in the hinterland of the Russian army.

Now that the first division has returned, all the tension and worries in Yang Xingguo's heart are gone.

He was ready to take a rest, and less than an hour after lying down in the headquarters, the results of the sortie of the three divisions were sent to Yang Xingguo.

"All the equipment and ammunition of two field artillery regiments and one howitzer regiment were captured, and almost two thousand Russian artillery men were also captured. Yes, with these artillery pieces and prisoners, our artillery strength will be greatly improved. When he first saw the results, Yang Xingguo was very happy, and said with a satisfied look at the staff officer.

However, it didn't take long for the smile on Yang Xingguo's face to disappear.

Seeing that Yang Xingguo's brows were furrowed, the staff officer hurriedly asked, "Commander, is there any problem?" ”

Yang Xingguo shook his head and asked, "Three divisions also ate or severely damaged the five infantry regiments of the Russian army during the operation, is this true?" ”

The staff officer replied with a firm face: "Commander, there is no exaggeration of this result...... According to the reports of the division commanders and chiefs of staff of the three divisions, this does not include the officers of the battalion and company level of the Russian army that they eliminated along the way......"

"In particular, the 1st Division captured and brought back more than 40 heavy machine guns, which can be described as brilliant results......

Three divisions were able to achieve such great results in such a short period of time, and their own losses were so small. It is enough to prove that the Liaodong Army's months-long training has been effective. Those recruits who have just been added to the army have already formed combat effectiveness after such a long period of training and running-in.

In particular, after this battle, there were three divisions that had actual combat experience. Its combat effectiveness is bound to become stronger.

Yang Xingguo is very satisfied with this.

However, such a big result also means that Lao Maozi has suffered heavy losses.

Although Lao Maozi is not sure whether it was the Japanese army or the Liaodong Army that attacked them. However, it is an indisputable fact that these attacking troops eventually retreated to Liaozhong.

The Russian army, which has suffered heavy losses, will definitely be held accountable, and this target of accountability is undoubtedly itself.

At this time, Yang Xingguo only thought about one thing, that is, how to deal with Lao Maozi's questioning.

Even if Lao Maozi is a little too busy to take care of himself now, but before the Russo-Japanese War is finally decided, Yang Xingguo will never want to break with the Russian army because of this incident. For Yang Xingguo. Only by dancing on the two eggs of the Russian army and the Japanese army can the Liaodong Army get the most out of this big war.

What is Yang Xingguo afraid of, what will he do?

Just as he was frowning and thinking about a solution, a staff officer suddenly rushed in and reported.

"Commander, Lao Maozi has a lieutenant general who wants to see you, and he is very anxious!"

"They're so sensitive with their noses, they're here so soon." Yang Xingguo said with a frown.

Then he asked directly to the staff officer in front of him: "Has the last division that came back finished changing clothes...... There is also the capture brought back by the first division, whether it was sent to the rear, don't let Lao Maozi see it, and show any horses' feet. ”

"It's all over, if it's not for the first division, it's too tired. A division can now assemble in full gear. The staff officer hastened to answer.

Yang Xingguo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and after thinking about it, he continued: "That's good...... You immediately bring in the lieutenant general of the Russian army, if there is really no way, we can only refuse to admit it? ”

Lieutenant General of the Russian Army who came with anger. As soon as he saw Yang Xingguo, he asked: "Commander Yang, why did your Liaodong Army attack our Russian army, not only attacked our three heavy artillery regiments, but also caused heavy losses to several of our infantry regiments. Could it be that Commander Yang, you plan to break with our Russia, accept the benefits of our Russia, and fail to fulfill your promises......

"If Commander Yang can't give me an explanation today. You are waiting for the bloody revenge of our Russians! ”

After the lieutenant general of the Russian army said all this with an angry face, Yang Xingguo, who was sitting in front of him, did not react.

Faced with this situation, the anger in the hearts of the Russian and Chinese generals became even stronger. Just as he was about to continue speaking, an accident happened.

Yang Xingguo, who was the attacker, actually pretended to have a very innocent expression and said: "Attacking your three artillery regiments, as well as several infantry regiments, I don't know, Your Excellency Lieutenant General, are you mistaken." Our Liaodong Army is tens of thousands of people, and without my orders, the division commanders below can only mobilize the strength of one battalion at most. It is simply impossible for a battalion to sneak up on your artillery regiment and inflict heavy damage on several infantry regiments. After all, the combat effectiveness of your Russian army is not vegetarian either. “

"Impossible, it's your Liaodong Army...... We followed the pursuing troops and saw with our own eyes that all the troops that attacked us had entered your Liaodong military defense area. The lieutenant general of the Russian army said with a look of certainty.

Yang Xingguo didn't think about it and asked rhetorically: "Since Your Excellency the Lieutenant General is so sure, do you have any other evidence...... For example, what uniforms and weapons this unit wears, whether you have any prisoners, and if you don't have prisoners, the corpses can also be ......."

The lieutenant general shook his head after thinking about it and replied: "These units are very strong in combat, and there are no prisoners or corpses. ”

"As for military uniforms and equipment...... No, they were wearing Japanese uniforms, and the bullet casings we found on the battlefield were all Japanese rifle bullets......"

"Could it be that they are Japanese, that is impossible, how can the Japanese enter and leave your Liaodong military defense area at will?"

Yang Xingguo nodded and replied: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General is really a smart person, you can ...... at one point."

"My Liaodong Army is wearing re-dyed military uniforms of your army, and the rifles equipped are also your Mosin Nagant rifles, how can it be a sneak attack on your army. I'll just say, you must be mistaken......"

"As for why the Japanese army was able to freely enter and leave our Liaodong Military Defense Zone, the reason is very simple, the Japanese paid us to buy the road. One million taels of silver, passing through three brigades from our Liaodong military defense area......"

"Just a few hours ago, there happened to be a Japanese brigade with a large number of artillery pieces passing through our Liaodong military defense area."

Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo immediately pretended to have a look on his face and suddenly realized and said: "I understand, the three brigades of the Japanese who went deep into your hinterland attacked your artillery, no wonder they are willing to pay so much money to buy roads." Without artillery, no matter how many troops your Russian army has, it will not be able to withstand the bombing of the Japanese army. “

After listening to Yang Xingguo's explanation, the first reaction of the Russian lieutenant general was not to believe it.

However, in a short time, he could not come up with any reason to refute it. In the end, this lieutenant general of the Russian army, who came with anger, could only continue to hold back his anger and return to Liaoyang with a helpless face. (To be continued.) )
