At this moment, the purpose of the Japanese war is simple. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The First Army went north and dragged the main force of Lao Maozi's Liaodong garrison in the Liaoyang area.

The Second Army, carrying a large number of siege artillery, went south to Lushun, preparing to take the fortress of Arthur with the cooperation of the naval fleet, so as to prevent the Russian Navy from going north along the Yalu River from Lushun and cutting off its own back route from the waterway.

Because Yang Xingguo was born, the garrison strength of Lao Maozi Lushun Fortress has increased from 40,000 to 60,000 in history.

More importantly, the defensive positions arranged by Lao Maozi on the periphery of the Lushun fortress have been more or less reinforced.

Historically, after the Japanese army entered the fortress of Arthur, although they did not take him directly.

However, the outer defense line of the Arthur Fortress was occupied by the Japanese in a few months.

However, now Six is not so lucky.

Because the possibility of a surprise attack had been lost, the Japanese army could only storm the outer defense line of the Laomaozi Lushun fortress.

Fighting head-on, Lao Maozi is not a vegetarian.

In addition, Lao Maozi still has a fortress and a defensive line to cover.

The whole assault had no effect in the slightest except for a nose of ash.

Soon, the losses of the Japanese Second Army amounted to 20,000 people.

And the defenders of Lao Maozi Lushun Fortress lost more than 10,000 people after a full battle.

Coupled with the fact that Lao Maozi could get a steady stream of support from the navy from the waterway, the morale of the garrison of Lao Maozi's Lushun Fortress was unexpectedly more and more courageous.

As a result, the Japanese Manchurian Army Command had to change its tactical tactics to capture Liaodong.

Changing the storming of the Lushun fortress in a short period of time to the long-term siege of the Lushun fortress, the focus of the war was first shifted to the Liaoyang area.

When the Japanese, the Russians, began to continuously transfer troops to Liaoyang and accumulate war materials.

Affected by the war, many people in Liaodong have become refugees because they have lost their homes.

During the war years, population was the greatest resource, and Yang Xingguo knew this very well.

Therefore, as soon as the Russo-Japanese War began, the thousands of people sent by Yang Xingguo began to be in Liaodong. Hype about the Liaodong Army and the Liaodong Army stationed in Liaozhong.

"What Liaozhong infinitely accepts refugees who have lost their homes because of the war, not only to give everyone houses, fields, but also to food and ......"

"The Liaodong Army is strong. Ability to expose everyone and avoid everyone being baptized by war......"

"As long as you enter the five counties in Liaozhong, everyone can stay away from the war and not go hungry......"

Under all sorts of seductive propaganda.

As the scope of the Russo-Japanese War expanded, the war grew longer. More and more refugees are losing their homes. began to enter the five counties of Liaozhong to seek protection.

In less than two months, 100,000 refugees have entered the five counties of central Liaoning.

As time passed, the scale of the war became larger and larger, and the number of refugees who continued to pour into the five counties of Liaozhong was still increasing.

According to the current momentum, when the war is over, the number of refugees pouring into these five counties is likely to exceed 500,000.

The large population in the territory is a very good thing for the future of the Liaodong Army.

But. Zhou Zhongju, who was in charge of collecting these refugees, was not happy for a long time.

Because, these refugees who brought their families into Liaozhong did not even have much rations except for a set of clothes.

It can be seen that after the outbreak of the war, these refugees left their homes in a hurry.

The refugees have no soldiers, which means that the Liaodong Army has to provide them with food for more than half a year before they can usher in this year's autumn harvest and eat the grain they have harvested.

However, the Liaodong Army did not have much food.

In order to reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in Liaozhong. The Liaodong Army used up almost all of its own stocks.

In the four counties of Liaozhong that had just been occupied, because Lao Maozi retreated too thoroughly, the Liaodong Army almost did not capture grain.

So, the grain stockpiled by the Liaodong Army. In addition to feeding nearly 10,000 Liaodong troops, there is almost nothing left.

And the refugees who entered Liaozhong in front of them, because they were penniless, in order to let them live until the autumn harvest, everyone had to share 150 catties worth of grain and go out.

One refugee has 150 catties of food, and 10,000 refugees are 1.5 million catties of grain.

And in front of you. In just two months, 100,000 refugees came to Liaozhong.

According to the standard of 150 catties per person, even if the whole Liaozhong grain is emptied in the middle of the week, it will not be able to take out 15 million catties of grain at one time.

In order not to cause panic, and in order to fulfill his promise, he had to distribute only 30 catties of food per person in the middle of the week.

But even so, Zhou Zhongju also used the three months of food reserves of the Liaodong Army to arrange 100,000 refugees.

You know, this is thirty catties of grain. No matter how frugal you are, you can only last for two months.

After two months, if they can't get enough food to feed the refugees.

These refugees, who have not even eaten food, will not only not become a boost to the continuous development and growth of the Liaodong Army, but will also become a huge hidden danger for the further development of the Liaodong Army.

Of course, this is still a month or two away.

Right now, because there is no food, thousands of refugees have stopped at the refugee reception points and have not dispersed.

If there is no food for them, the number of refugees in the reception points will definitely reach 10,000 or even tens of thousands in a short time.

At this time, some people also raised the question of whether it would be better to draw out some more military rations and solve the immediate difficulties.

For this proposal, Zhou Zhongju rejected it without thinking about it.

The army is the foundation of the Liaodong Army's foothold here, and without the army, everything here will come to naught.

Military rations are the basis for whether a unit can guarantee its combat effectiveness and morale.

At present, there are only nine months left in the Liaodong Army's military ration reserves, and in order to ensure the combat effectiveness and morale of the Liaodong Army, nothing can be touched in these nine months of military rations.

After the only way was vetoed, Zhou Zhongju could only find Yang Xingguo to see if Yang Xingguo had a solution.

"With our Liaodong Army alone, I don't think it is possible to solve this problem......" Yang Xingguo, who frowned, shook his head and said.

Subsequently, Yang Xingguo's face changed, and he decisively decided: "Ask the imperial court, we have no food, and the Shengjing General's Mansion has ......."

"We don't want all kinds of food, as long as we can feed the refugees, we want everything."

Zhou Zhongju shook his head and denied: "I want to pass...... General Shengjing's Mansion also gave ...... However, he only gave 50,000 catties of coarse grain, and there was no more......"

"It's not that there isn't, it's that General Shengjing's Mansion doesn't want to give it to us in vain." Yang Xingguo saw through the purpose of General Shengjing's Mansion at a glance, and said with a mocking face.

Zhou Zhongju's eyes lit up, and he said, "Commander, then should we directly use the silver to buy grain from General Shengjing's Mansion......

"There is still a lot of silver in the headquarters, and tens of thousands of taels of silver can still be taken out."

"No, keep the silver for our own ......use," Yang Xingguo vetoed again. (To be continued.) )
