Chapter 152: Surrender
"Report to the commander-in-chief, Tsarist Russia has raised a flag saying that they will not choose to dock before the surrender ceremony, and they want to send an envoy ashore to meet you and discuss surrender with you." The herald ran to Yue Weihua and reported.
"Oh, what kind of medicine are sold in these old Maozi gourds, what kind of surrender ceremony do they have to do if they surrender, do they feel that surrender is very glorious, do you want Lao Tzu to take out a few cameras and take pictures of them, and then break the news to those foreigners?" Yue Weihua was a little puzzled.
"Hey, hey, commander-in-chief, your idea is too good, if Lao Maozi has to carry out such a surrender ceremony, we should indeed film the whole process, at least it is worth preserving." Shen Yin hurriedly echoed.
", I'm down to business." Yue Weihua scolded angrily, but he agreed with Shen Yin's point of view in his heart, it is indeed possible to exchange for a few black and white cameras and camcorders in the next forty years, at least it can be used to record the growth process of the Black Dragon Army.
"Hehe, commander-in-chief, I can see that there should be no moths, but if you are worried that they will have moths, they will all be finished, and the remaining dozen or so river ships of Lao Maozi will not be able to withstand it for long." Shen Yin smiled and continued: "But from the current point of view, their warships have all stopped sailing, the muzzles of the guns have also been downward, and the white flag has also been displayed. ”
What Shen Yin said was true, so Yue Weihua nodded, and instructed the herald: "Tell them that we don't have much patience, it's okay to send an envoy to the shore for an interview first, give them twenty minutes, if the envoy can't reach the artillery position at point C within twenty minutes, we will open fire directly." ”
"Yes. Commander in chief. ”
After a while, the herald came back and reported: "Commander-in-chief, the messenger of the other side will come as soon as possible, but the other party has made another request, hoping to allow them to rescue some of the people who have fallen into the water and recover some of the bodies of the victims who have floated." Of course, they knew that we would have concerns, so they proposed to only use the small boats on the river boats and send soldiers who did not carry weapons to salvage and rescue, and in addition, they would not go downstream, so as not to make it difficult for us. But hopefully we can help. ”
"Hehe, this old man is quite kind to his soldiers, why didn't he see them merciful when he treated us Chinese?" Yue Weihua sneered, but the other party had already indicated that he had surrendered, and this kind of thing really couldn't be refused, so he had to continue: "Reply that they can, but let all the soldiers who participate in the rescue." They all raised their hands before stepping onto the boat, indicating that they were not carrying weapons. Otherwise, if you are caught carrying a weapon, you will be sniped. ”
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." The herald answered.
As soon as the herald left, Yue Weihua instructed Shen Yin again: "Damn, fortunately, there are a few fishing boats downstream. Otherwise, people ask us to help rescue, but we can't save it, forget it, give them some face, and order Chen Jinjiang to send someone down the river to rescue. But forget about the dead, and if you meet the living, come up. ”
To tell the truth, as long as he remembered that more than 300 members of the Yue family were forcibly driven down the river by Lao Maozi, and in the end, the bodies of many people were not found, Yue Weihua's anger was a little uncontrollable, but since Lao Maozi was willing to surrender, Yue Weihua could only endure it, after all, this was the best ending, and it was also the ending he wanted the most.
So there was a rather unusual scene on the river, the war was not over, but the river ships of Tsarist Russia did not dare to move on the river, and countless small boats and boats began to shuttle on the river, back and forth to rescue and salvage the corpses, this scene, perhaps also another kind of "harmony".
……
When Paparos took two guards and drove a small boat to the south bank of the Blackwater River, this feeling of stepping on the ground finally made Paparos feel that he was still alive, and I have to say that it was a terrifying morning, a battle scene that he will never forget, although the river ship they were riding on did not suffer a single shell, but this made Paparos feel even more frightened.
"Raise your hands."
When several Black Dragon Army soldiers used standard Russian to make Paparos raise his hands, Paparos was shocked again, although it is normal to speak some Russian in the border area between the two countries, but any two soldiers in charge of vigilance can speak standard Russian, which is enough to prove the high quality of the other soldier, don't doubt Paparos's vision, these two soldiers in charge of vigilance are indeed ordinary soldiers, but although their Russian is standard, they can only say "raise your hands", "surrender without killing", "hold your head", "squat" and a few other simple phrases.
Wait, these Black Dragon Army soldiers are all standard military uniforms, and they seem to be very good in style, durable and practical, and they do not have braids, and they all have a small iron pot on their heads.
In the process of Paparos's doubts, Paparos has been rudely searched, but Paparos's money, even the famous watch, the other party has not touched a bit, which also makes Paparos feel a little incredible, no wonder the other party has been able to defeat the great Tsarist Russia repeatedly, which can be seen from here.
When Paparos followed the guide of the Black Dragon Army and passed by the infantry position on the shore, Paparos found that this position was obviously built in a hurry, because the soil that was turned up was still wet, according to Paparos's experience, it should have been built a few hours ago, but although this position is simple, it is very practical, because these positions are all composed of anti-artillery pits, each anti-artillery pit is not large, just enough to accommodate one person, but it can be a good defense against artillery fire and shrapnel.
"Their officers must have received a formal military academy education, and they are good at combining the scene and being flexible in battle." Paparos thought.
And when Paparos noticed the weapons on the opponent's position, he suddenly felt a little chill in his heart, the Makqin heavy machine guns were actually placed here in rows, in such a short position of dozens of meters, Paparos saw no less than ten Makqin, as well as the kind of weapon with a tripod, which was obviously also a continuous fire, and the kind of single weapon with a drum, that cold shape, at a glance, he knew that the power was extraordinary.
"This trip is not in vain, the other party's weapons are so advanced, it is impossible for the Dongying people to provide them, then there is only one possibility, it is from Britain, France, Germany and other countries, and this information must be transmitted back to China."
Just passing by the position of the Black Dragon Army, what Paparos observed made Paparos feel that this trip was worth it, and when he came to the temporary headquarters where Yue Weihua was, he found that what he had just seen was really nothing.
This is a waterfront mountain, standing on the top of the mountain platform with a very wide field of vision, several kilometers of upstream and downstream river surfaces are in its field of vision, for the time being, more than a dozen remaining river ships in Tsarist Russia are under surveillance here, but these are obviously not the point, the focus is on the waterfront side of this mountaintop, there are actually a few sections of obviously modified train wagons, lying there, no matter how you think about this picture, it feels inexplicably weird.
More than a dozen muzzles of different sizes were cut out of the thick iron sheets of each train, and the heads of the guns that poked out of them showed that they were all Maxim heavy machine guns, and just as Paparos wondered how the wagons had been carried up the mountain, he finally saw the cannon that made him tremble all morning.
But when Paparos saw these cannons clearly, he suddenly felt that he couldn't breathe, because he was too familiar with these artillery, 150 mm howitzer heavy guns produced by Germany and Russia, as well as 105 mm field cannons, etc., just in such a position, there were four heavy guns and twelve field cannons, and the key was that these guns were all made in Russia.
"Ahem, this envoy of Tsarist Russia, are you uncomfortable there?"
I don't know when, a young officer, although he has no military rank, but looking at his bearing, as well as the reactions of the people around him, Paparos can guess that the young man in front of him must be a senior general of the Black Dragon Army, and the other party's language is still standard Russian.
"Thank you for your concern, Chief of Staff Paparos, Captain of the Fleet of the Eastern Route of Lower Tsarist Russia." Paparos introduced himself very gentlemanly.
"Well, hello, Yue Weihua." Yue Weihua nodded, pondered for a while, but still didn't report his identity, and then continued: "The two armies are fighting, don't say anything superfluous, let's get straight to the point, tell me your intentions." ”
Yue Weihua only reported his name, but did not report his identity and position, which made Paparos quite angry, but he was helpless, and in this line, he basically achieved his goal, and now he just wants to return to the ship as soon as possible and feed back what he has seen and heard back to St. Petersburg, as for the rest, it is already doomed anyway, so he said bluntly: "We know that this battle is bound to be lost, but we have doubts about how your army treats the prisoners, and we don't know, if we choose to surrender, Will your army allow us to be treated as prisoners deserve? ”
"Hehe, the treatment that a prisoner should have, in fact, you mainly want to ask, will we kill the prisoner?" Yue Weihua smiled faintly, and continued: "You can rest assured of this, although you are the invaders, but after surrendering, we will not kill the prisoners, of course, if after being captured, disobedient and unruly, then I dare not guarantee his life." ”
Paparos also knew that it was impossible to mention anything to be treated favorably now, after all, people are swords and I am fish and meat, and it is good to be able to get the other party's promise not to kill prisoners, and besides, when they get to the ship in a while, it is the real negotiation, and there is no need to say anything more now, so he nodded, and then said that the governor of his side hopes to be able to talk in detail on the ship, and wants to have a surrender ceremony.
Hearing Yue Weihua's frowning, he was quite puzzled in his heart, could it be that Lao Maozi was really not ashamed enough, and he had to engage in some surrender ceremony?
