Chapter 437: Why are there so few weapons?
After receiving the order that Dashanyan could only be on alert and not attack, several wing commanders on the front line of the Japanese army could only hold back even if they were angry in their hearts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unlike the Japanese army's grievances, the former enemy headquarters of the Liaodong Army was happy from top to bottom.
Especially in the middle of the week, his mouth smiled directly because he was happy.
Soon, a staff officer sent the counted things to the midweek to raise his hand.
After quickly glancing at the data in his hand, even if he left early in the middle of the week to prepare, he was frightened by the numbers on the list, and it took a long time to react. said excitedly to Yang Xingguo.
"Commander, this is just another Fengcheng harvest......
"Plus the equipment brought back by the three artillery regiments and the guard brigade that were fished back a few days ago. In the entire battle of Liaoyang, we harvested a total of 41 large-caliber howitzers, three regiments of field artillery with a total of 172 guns, and two more than two regiments of mountain artillery, with a total of 128 guns. Not to mention anything else, with these more than 300 artillery pieces alone, we can form at least seven artillery regiments. ”
"The only regret is that there are fewer shells, more than 300 cannons, less than 10,000 shells were captured after full fighting, and less than 30 shells are average."
"We have captured three-quarters of the Russian artillery. If the Japanese army knew, they would definitely scold their mother. Yang Xingguo replied with a smile.
Zhou Zhongju shook his head and said: "It's not just as simple as scolding my mother, the Japanese army that confronted us, with a total strength of more than 10,000 at one time, almost launched an attack on us." ”
"The Japanese army won't, they won the battle of Liaoyang, but they also lost their troops, if they still have the strength before the war, maybe they will really kill all the way to our Liaozhong. But they don't even have half of the strength before the war, and there are 20,000 Russian troops in Liaoyang City staring at them next to them. Unless Dashan Yan has something wrong with his brain, he will never attack us. ”
"No wonder the Japanese army, which was eyeing the Japanese army a few hours ago, left thousands of people at once, and the remaining thousands of people were only in a defensive state, and they were afraid that we would enter ......the battlefield again," Zhou Zhongju replied with a look of sudden realization.
After finishing, he continued: "Since the Japanese army does not dare to attack us, then we must take advantage of this time to use the harvest of these few days to our advantage. Just now I just talked about artillery, and then I'll talk about guns. “
"In a few days of fighting, we captured a total of 159 heavy machine guns, all of which were good and could be used by equipping the troops. In addition, more than 34,500 Mosin Nagant rifles were captured intact, and more than 6,500 Murata rifles equipped by the Japanese army were also captured. “
"The only deficiency is that there are fewer bullets, all the bullets are combined, and less than two million is less than ......"
In addition, the soldiers also brought back a lot of light and heavy machine guns that had been damaged by shells, more than 100 of them. I took a look, and a lot of light and heavy machine guns can still be used after repair. “
Yang Xingguo was also shocked, and asked with a look of disbelief: "You're right, with so many guns, if all the troops are equipped, our Liaodong Army can at least double the size of the army......"
"Also, so many guns, that's not the weapons that the Russians threw away on the battlefield, most of them were taken back."
"The Japanese lost so much and won the battle, and we stole it like this. If Dashan Yan knew, he would definitely vomit blood. ”
Zhou Zhongju added: "Commander, the one who made Dashanyan vomit blood is still behind......
"Liaoyang City, if we really occupy Liaoyang City in front of the Japanese, the Japanese will not get anything in this battle except for harvesting twenty or thirty thousand weapons dropped by the Russian army."
"Huh?" Yang Xingguo asked with an interested expression.
"If you want to smoothly accept Liaoyang City from the Russian army, it will come at a price, I said earlier, the most attractive to the Russian army are Russian prisoners of war. Could it be that we have more than 5,000 Russian prisoners of war in our hands, as long as there are 5,000 prisoners of war, I have the confidence to let the Russian army take the initiative to give up Liaoyang City......"
Zhou Zhongju shook his head and didn't speak.
But from the smile on his face, Yang Xingguo was sure that the number of prisoners must be beyond his imagination.
"Seven thousand, eight thousand, is the number of prisoners more than 10,000......" Seeing Zhou Zhongju constantly shaking his head to deny his own inference, Yang Xingguo immediately said a number that he could hardly believe in his heart.
Zhou Zhongju replied with an affirmative face: "10,853 people, this does not include the more than 3,000 Russian prisoners brought back from the attack on the three artillery regiments of the Russian army a few days ago......"
"So much, how did they do it...... The prisoners are all in our hands, so the Russian army didn't capture the prisoners......"
"If that's the case, even if we don't take Liaoyang, Dashanyan who gets the news will vomit blood."
Seeing that Yang Xingguo was getting more and more excited the more he spoke, Zhou Zhongju hurriedly asked.
"Commander, what are you going to do with these captives, more than 10,000 people, one Liaoyang City will definitely not be able to use up."
"As long as I have 5,000 people, I can exchange it from the Russian army for Liaoyang City......," Yang Xingguo replied with a confident face.
"You immediately inform the divisions to find fifty soldiers who know how to fight the Russian army, and I will recruit troops from among these prisoners and form a main division composed of Russians......"
"How is it possible to let the Russians give us their lives?" Zhou Zhongju asked rhetorically with his mouth open and an incredulous expression.
"Nothing is impossible." Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied.
"You know the treatment of ordinary soldiers in the army, not even half of my Liaodong Army, rather than going back and being ridiculed by others as prisoners, it is better to stay in the Liaodong Army. Anyway, no matter where you are a soldier, you are fighting a war and selling your life. ”
"If we can really form such a main division, not to mention anything else, we definitely don't have to pay for pensions. A main division can save tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a battle, and it will definitely be easy to ......"
"As for those technical arms, especially artillery, we can replenish the regiments. In this way, the problem of the lack of gunners in the artillery is solved!"
Zhou Zhongju didn't know if the Russian prisoners would agree, but Yang Xingguo was so confident that Zhou Zhongju was full of confidence in this matter.
At this moment, the Japanese General Headquarters, one by one, the results and losses were also quickly reported to the General Headquarters by all divisions and regiments, and the staff officers of the headquarters summarized them one by one.
Dashan Yan stood by the side, and the staff officer would look at a list when he put it together.
At the beginning, Dashan Rock was still expected by Manchester United.
Although the Liaodong Army took away a lot of artillery thrown away by the Russian army, the other weapons and ammunition left behind by the collapse of tens of thousands of people are still very amazing. As long as they can capture these weapons and ammunition, the losses of the troops in terms of materials can at least be replenished, and even more.
However, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. When all the staff officers have finished summarizing the data, and look at him. Da Shanyan, whose face was solemn, immediately asked: "This is the end, how can there be more than 30,000 intact rifles, less than 100 heavy machine guns, and less than 100 artillery pieces, and they are all light artillery, not a single howitzer?"
