The chief of staff could not give a good solution to the problems raised by Dashanyan in a short period of time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the idea of uniting the Russian army to encircle and suppress the Liaodong Army has taken root in the heart of Dashan Rock.

When the time comes, this idea will definitely be brought forward again by Dashan Yan.

In Liaoyang City, Yang Xingguo was standing at the head of the city, looking at his subordinates who had returned victoriously outside with a satisfied expression.

Seeing that one heavy artillery piece after another was dragged into Liaoyang City, Yang Xingguo directly asked Zhou Zhongju beside him: "Deputy commander, with the artillery we captured this time, there should be no problem with doubling the size of the artillery unit!" ”

"It's no problem even if it's tripled!" Zhou Zhongju replied confidently.

"However, there are fewer shells. All combined, no artillery is less than a hundred shells. ”

"But there is no problem, the tens of thousands of shells we captured in Fengcheng are now useless. Save a little, you can still fight a few large-scale decisive battles. ”

"In that case, so many artillery, we can't let them rust idlely. After returning to Liaozhong, I issued an order for the expansion of the artillery unit. Yang Xingguo replied very happily.

After the happy story was said, Yang Xingguo had to face a very heavy problem: troop casualties.

While Yang Xingguo waited, Zhou Zhongju, who took out a list, said in a heavy tone: "Commander, in the operation for several consecutive days, we have fought with both the Japanese army and the Russian army, and all the eight regiments that have been transferred have also been on the battlefield. Because of the large proportion of recruits in the troops, the casualties of the eight regiments were still high, despite the fact that many of the battles were sneak attacks. “

"In particular, the Fifth and Second Regiments, which had just finished fighting, lost more than one-third of their troops."

"If it weren't for the constant artillery support provided by the special operations detachment during the battle, these two regiments would have suffered heavy losses and heavy losses if they were not completely wiped out."

Seeing that Yang Xingguo's face slowly became heavy, he didn't say a word. Zhou Zhongju changed his tone and continued: "However, according to the feedback from each regiment, although the troops have lost a lot of officers and men, the overall combat effectiveness has increased instead of decreasing. ”

"Now, only those recruits who did not die in battle have been trained in battle and have become veterans. As long as the vacant number of troops vacant by them is filled, the combat effectiveness of these eight regiments will certainly be greatly enhanced. ”

After a short period of contemplation, Yang Xingguo replied: "Deputy commander, don't worry, I am mentally prepared. You tell me directly how many brothers were lost in total for the eight regiments. ”

Zhou Zhongju did not hesitate this time, and replied directly: "A total of 1,593 people were killed in the battle, including 3 battalion commanders and 11 company commanders. ”

"There were 218 people who had to leave the unit after being seriously injured, and as for the other 1,000 people who were lightly and seriously wounded, they were able to return to the unit after receiving medical treatment......

After Yang Xingguo turned around the headquarters, he said in a heavy tone: "The brothers are all heroes who fought and died against the great powers, and they are worthy of the admiration of all of us. ”

"Deputy commander, after returning to Liaozhong, the brothers' pensions and compensation must all be paid in place, and not a single tael of silver can be missing, and the families of the heroes must not be wronged."

"In addition, I have another idea, choose a piece of feng shui treasure land in Liaozhong, build a cemetery, and build a monument to engrave the names of all the soldiers who have died in battle since the establishment of our Liaodong Army. Soldiers with family members can bring the body back, and only need to leave the name. The soldiers who died in the war without family members were all placed in the martyrs' cemetery and will always enjoy the respect of future generations......"

Zhou Zhong's eyes lit up and replied: "This method is good!" Although we have not yet seen any results, I am sure that as long as we do this, we will certainly be able to greatly improve the morale of the officers and men of the whole army. ”

"Also, the harvest of this operation can fully withstand the consumption of pensions and the construction of cemeteries."

"Commander, don't you know, we must have gained more in this battle than the Japanese army, and much more. If I were to say who was the biggest winner of the Battle of Liaoyang, I would definitely say that it was my Liaodong Army. ”

At this time, the heavy expression on Yang Xingguo's face finally dissipated a lot, and he asked Zhou Zhongju with some expectation: "If we are really the biggest winner of the battle of Liaoyang, then we must gain a lot." Deputy Commander, be specific! ”

"There is no doubt that the biggest gain is the Liaoyang City under our feet and the hundreds of thousands of people in Liaoyang. This harvest does not see benefits in the short term. But in the long run, Liaoyang is a cornucopia, a cornucopia that can bring us a steady stream of harvests. ”

"The second big gain is that we received a large amount of supplies from the Russian army in Liaoyang City."

"You know the specific quantity of materials, Commander, because there are many materials that are going to be sold, and I specially asked Minister Yan Bing of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to come to Liaoyang to estimate the value of these materials."

"Guess what, Yan Bing directly gave me an offer of one million and eight thousand taels of silver."

"This is just the beginning, after Yan Bing heard that we had harvested a large number of weapons in the Battle of Liaoyang, she directly told me that we could sell the weapons we didn't use at a price two percent higher than before......"

"At that time, I was moved, because there were too many weapons we had captured, especially the Japanese-style weapons in the middle, which we couldn't use at all, so we had to sell them."

"So, at that time, I asked Yan Bing to form a plan for her ideas, as long as the plan is passed, I plan to give her all the sales of Liaodong Foreign Trade Company and weapons and materials!"

"Now that Yan Bing is outside, do you want him to come in and tell us her thoughts and plans in person?"

"Wait, when did Yan Bing come over, I don't know. Also, in addition to the harvest of Liaoyang City, you haven't finished talking about other harvests. In particular, captured weapons and ammunition. I always want to know how many weapons and ammunition we have captured before I can decide how much to sell them! ”

Zhou Zhongju replied with a smile: "The first question, I was afraid that you would be distracted, so I didn't tell you!" ”

"You don't admit that you like Yan Bing, but I can tell from the eyes of the two of you that you both have a good impression of each other. Especially Yan Bing, as soon as he came to Liaoyang, he was anxious to see you. ”

"As for the second question, I'll answer you now."

"According to statistics, in terms of artillery, a total of 108 howitzers, 158 field guns, and 98 mountain guns were harvested. There are Japanese and Russian soldiers, and the Russian army accounts for the majority of them......"

"Because many light and heavy machine guns are directly equipped with troops on the battlefield, there is no way to count the specific number. However, there are no heavy machine guns equipped with the troops, there are 114 more, and there are not many light machine guns, only 56. In addition, the troops also brought back a large number of light and heavy machine guns that were blown up, and many of them will be repaired after they are sent to the arsenal. ”

"The rest of the seizures were small arms such as rifles and pistols. After statistics, a total of 36,890 Mosina rifles equipped by the Russian army, 15,786 rifles equipped by the Japanese army, and more than 1,500 other pistols were captured. ”

"The above is the third harvest, and the fourth harvest is the three Russian regiments and troops that the chief of staff is forming and the more than 5,000 Japanese prisoners that have just been brought back!"

"Not surprisingly, more than 5,000 Japanese prisoners should be able to exchange a lot of good things from the Japanese army!"

Yang Xingguo was undoubtedly shocked, and replied with a dumbfounded face: "Deputy Commander, you are not wrong, we are the biggest winners of the Battle of Liaoyang." I am sure that the Japanese army has gained absolutely not as much on the battlefield as we have. (To be continued.) )
