After arranging the garrisons in Fuxin and other counties, Yang Xingguo returned to Liaozhong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As for the aftermath issues, Yang Xingguo handed over all his brains to Deputy Commander Zhou Zhongju.

"Chief of Staff, has there been any situation in the past few days......" Yang Xingguo, who returned to the headquarters, asked without taking a break.

Sun Liechen thought about it and replied: "Two things, one is that Xiao Wenchang from the arsenal came to the headquarters, let me tell you that the steel plant, the power plant, and the gunpowder factory have begun trial operation. The arsenal's three bullet production lines are already in full swing. At present, the arsenal has produced more than 2.3 million rounds of rifle ammunition and more than 800,000 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition. ”

"Find a way to sell it all to him......" Yang Xingguo replied without thinking about it.

"We still have a lot of ammunition in stock, and with the constant production of ammunition in the arsenal, there is no need to stock up on too many ammunition......

"There are also rifle bullets for the Japanese army, and we have to find a way to sell them all and exchange them for real silver. After all, we are not equipped with Japanese rifles, and we only rely on the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company for sales, and in a few years, we will definitely not be able to sell more than 10 million rounds of ammunition......"

Sun Liechen did not answer, but continued: "Commander, this is the second thing I want to tell you......

"After learning that the two arsenals arranged by the Russian army in Liaoyang were bombed, the Japanese army stepped up its offensive against the Russian army without the guidance of the special operations detachment. However, after such a long time, the Russian army, which bought 10 million rounds of ammunition, does not seem to have any intention of continuing to buy bullets from us, despite the huge consumption of ammunition on the battlefield? ”

"There are also Japanese troops, and the consumption of ammunition during this period is also very large. However, they have supplements...... According to the information sent by the intelligence bureau, the Japanese army has a steady stream of ammunition supplies from Korea to the front line every day......"

"In addition, Zhang Shanlin of the special operations detachment sent back the news at the forefront of the confrontation between the Japanese and Russian armies, according to the increasingly fierce conflict between the Japanese and Russian armies, this conflict will turn into a large-scale decisive battle in one month at the latest, Zhang Shanlin asked us to prepare as soon as possible......"

Yang Xingguo's brows furrowed and asked, "Is the news true, and is there any basis for this judgment......?"

"Yes......" Sun Liechen replied affirmatively.

"Zhang Shanlin is on the Russo-Japanese front. Messages come back every day......"

"I have done a deduction with the General Staff, and there is an eighty percent chance that a decisive battle will break out between the Japanese and Russian armies within a month."

Yang Xingguo nodded and pondered: "For us, the longer the confrontation between the Japanese and Russian armies on the Liaoyang line, the more beneficial it will be for us. So. We must find a way to make their decisive battle unable to fight and continue to consume each other on the Liaoyang front. “

"In addition, in order to prevent accidents, we need to prepare with both hands..."

"If the Japanese and Russian armies really fight a decisive battle within a month, what should our Liaodong Army do? How can we use this decisive battle to bring us the most benefit......"

Sun Liechen's brows also furrowed. Stared at Yang Xingguo and asked, "Commander, what are you going to do?" ”

"I also thought about delaying the decisive battle between the Japanese and Russian armies. However, the decisive battle of the 200,000-strong army is not something that can be postponed. I thought about it for two days, but I couldn't think of a good solution. ”

Yang Xingguo thought for a while and replied: "Our strength is limited, and the main force can't participate, there is really no good way......

"However, we can do something in the rear of the Japanese and Russian armies and let them make up for the problems logistically......"

In this way, it is likely that the Japanese and Russian armies will postpone the decisive battle due to logistical problems. To know. In this era, fighting a war is all about logistics, and if logistics is insufficient, it means that the stamina for a decisive battle is insufficient, and it may fail at any time......"

"The commanders of the Japanese and Russian armies are smart people, and I am sure that they will not take this risk......"

"Also, by doing so, we might be able to sell all kinds of weapons and ammunition we have hoarded in our hands and exchange them for silver that will be more useful to us......"

"What are you going to do, Commander?" Sun Liechen's eyes lit up and he asked.

"It's better to let the special operations detachment go to ......," Yang Xingguo replied without thinking about it.

"The battlefield is the best place to train troops, and the special operations detachment has three brigades. In addition to the forward positions of the confrontation between the Japanese and Russian armies, a brigade was left. From time to time, it creates some trouble for the Japanese and Russian armies. The remaining two brigades, divided into two, immediately infiltrated the rear of the Japanese and Russian armies......"

"Under the condition of secrecy and preservation of strength, destroy as much as possible the ammunition supply ...... of the Japanese and Russian armies"

"This is a good idea!" Sun Liechen replied excitedly.

"With the combat effectiveness of the special operations detachment. To deal with the logistics units of the Japanese and Russian armies, they must be captured. ”

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "Things are not as simple as you imagined. ”

"The commander of the Japanese and Russian armies is not a fool, it is impossible for our people to remain arrogant, he will definitely strengthen the strength and firepower of the transport troops, and will not give us a chance."

"Therefore, the two brigades of the special operations detachment have limited opportunities for sneak attacks. And we have to focus on what matters. That's all there is to it. In order to make the ammunition replenishment of the Japanese and Russian armies a problem. ”

"Otherwise, the general petty fights will only be tickling for the Japanese and Russian armies at most......"

Sun Liechen immediately understood what Yang Xingguo and Yang Xingguo meant, and replied with an excited face: "Commander, this idea must be feasible......

"The problem of ammunition replenishment, coupled with the fact that a large number of bullets are consumed every day on the front line, the Japanese and Russian armies will definitely think of the bullets in our hands as soon as possible. Maybe we can get the ammunition we hold in our hands and sell it for a good price......"

"Commander, I will immediately send someone to give Zhang Shanlin an order, let him execute it as soon as possible, the sooner the better......"

"Not done yet? Wait a minute! Yang Xingguo hurriedly stopped Sun Liechen, who wanted to leave.

"Didn't you just say that? We have to prepare with both hands, and that is just one of them. ”

"On the surface, the whole plan of action is foolproof, but we can't ignore the ...... failures"

"If the plan fails, or if there is a problem with the logistics supply of the Japanese and Russian armies, there is no way to postpone their decisive battle, then what should we do?"

Sun Liechen was stunned for a moment, and replied very calmly: "Commander, I really didn't think about it that much!" ”

Yang Xingguo replied with a serious face: "Chief of Staff, a very important reason why my Liaodong Army has developed from scratch in just one or two years to the present is that no matter what I do, before the matter starts, I will think about the way back. ”

"Only in this way can our Liaodong Army not be afraid of defeat and always be invincible."

"You are the chief of staff of the Liaodong Army, and a decision has decided the life and death of hundreds, if not thousands, of soldiers in many cases. So, you have to learn to do things and think about the way back. ”

Sun Liechen replied with a serious face: "Commander, I understand ......" (to be continued.) )
