The chief of staff replied in a low voice: "Commander-in-chief, the remaining weapons and ammunition, including the Russian prisoners, are likely to have been taken away by the Liaodong Army first......"

"The Liaodong Army took advantage of the fact that the main force of our army was chasing and killing the Russian army, and looted weapons and ammunition on the battlefield. The remaining weapons and ammunition www.biquge.info, especially the heavy equipment, must be in the hands of the Liaodong Army. ”

Dashan Yan said with a gloomy face: "That is to say, we have been preparing for the Battle of Liaoyang for nearly a year, and after paying such a great sacrifice, we finally achieved most of the results of the victory, and we actually made a wedding dress for the Liaodong Army......

Seeing that his subordinates lowered their heads and did not speak, a nameless anger quickly surged up to the heart of Dashan Yanxin, and scolded at the chief of staff.

"Eight Grid Yalu, cunning Liaodong Army, I must not let them succeed in their tricks. Those results were all exchanged for the lives of tens of thousands of our soldiers, and they must not be so cheap for the Liaodong Army. ”

"If it was just some artillery, I didn't expect them to take so many rifles and heavy machine guns, and they didn't even leave us with a single heavy gun. This matter can't just be left at that, it must not be ......"

The chief of staff who felt Dashanyan's monstrous anger knew very well that at this time, he persuaded Dashanyan to stop and had no intention of adding fuel to the fire, so that Dashanyan could vent all his anger on himself.

However, after thinking about it, in order to ensure the current victory, and for the sake of the remaining soldiers of the whole army, the chief of staff still plucked up the courage to say.

The Commander-in-Chief was furious...... In the current situation, we have no other way but to endure it for the time being......"

"We also suffered heavy losses in almost a day of fighting...... There are less than 30,000 intact officers and men in the whole army, including many technical arms, and as many as 20,000 are wounded and need to be treated. ”

"Yaga...... I don't accept it" Hearing this, Da Shanyan, who was holding back his anger, spit out a mouthful ......of blood directly, and shouted unwillingly.

The chief of staff hurriedly rushed up to hold the big mountain rock that was about to fall to the ground, and ordered loudly: "What are you still doing?" Immediately help the commander-in-chief down to rest. Also, it's called a military doctor......"

"In addition, the troops were ordered to remain on the defensive for rest, and all the wounded were sent to the rear for treatment."

Because Dashanyan was angry, he directly vomited blood and fell into a coma, and the entire headquarters immediately fell into a chaotic situation.

Coupled with the cautious attitude of the chief of staff of the Japanese army, the troops were ordered to shrink their forces and remain on the defensive.

Liaoyang, which was already preparing for the attack, had to order the troops to retreat.

In this way, the order of the chief of staff invisibly helped the Liaodong Army a lot.

Originally, the Japanese army had blocked all the gates of Liaoyang City, but because of the chief of staff's order to shrink their forces and defend on the spot, the Japanese troops surrounding several city gates immediately retreated, and stationed all the troops in one direction of Liaoyang City to monitor every move of the Russian army in Liaoyang City from afar.

The news that Dashanyan vomited blood and fell into a coma, the special operations detachment has not yet been able to find out. However, the military movement of the Japanese army outside Liaoyang City was clearly seen by the special operations detachment.

Although Yang Xingguo, who was more than ten miles away, did not know why the Japanese army did this, he understood that this was an excellent opportunity for him to make a deal with the Russian army and quietly occupy Liaoyang City.

Thinking of this, Yang Xingguo immediately found a lieutenant colonel officer who could speak Chinese from among the captives. After telling him his thoughts, let him take the two staff officers of the headquarters to Liaoyang City together.

The Battle of Liaoyang was defeated, the troops suffered heavy losses, and the equipment was also lost.

Since getting the news, the frowning brow of the commander of the Russian army has not stretched. Even the news of the sudden retreat of the Japanese troops outside the city did not make the commander of the Russian army happy.

At this time, it had been a day since the end of the battle, and the Russian commander, with his brows on his frown, was still walking back and forth in the command headquarters.

"Chief of Staff, are there any soldiers who have not returned today...... the commander asked the chief of staff with an expectant expression.

The chief of staff replied with a solemn face: "There are less than a thousand people, and all of them came back in the morning, and there was no one in the afternoon!" ”

The commander continued to ask in a heavy tone: "Then how many of the 100,000 troops we have deployed outside the city have returned?" “

"There were less than 11,000 people, and there was originally a division and 10,000 defenders in the city, but now there are less than 21,000 defenders." The chief of staff shook his head and replied.

"In other words, of our more than 100,000 troops, almost all of them were wiped out, and only more than 10,000 people survived......" The commander frowned and said subconsciously.

"There must be more than that, there must be many more people who have been taken prisoner, but we don't know." The chief of staff hurriedly spoke.

The commander shook his head and replied: "What I want is soldiers who can come back to continue the battle, even if those prisoners are alive, it will be of no use to us at all, at least until the end of the war, it is impossible for the Japanese army to send them back to strengthen our strength!" ”

Seeing that the chief of staff was silent, the commander continued: "There are more than 100,000 soldiers, and there are only these few people left, and Liaoyang will definitely not be able to hold it." Originally, I thought that I could return more soldiers and retreat to Mukden immediately with the remnants of the army, increase the strength of the Fengtian defenders, and continue to fight against the Japanese army, and strive to turn defeat into victory and defeat them. ”

"There are only the remnants of a division in front of me, even if they reach Mukden, they won't be able to play much role."

At this time, a staff officer suddenly broke in and reported: "Commander, there is a situation, a lieutenant colonel officer has just returned, and he has brought ******** people, saying that he has something important to report and wants to see you." Right now outside the headquarters? ”

"Bring him in......" The chief of staff, who was thinking about how to divert the commander's attention and ease the commander's mood, ordered without waiting for the commander to speak.

"Report to the commander, I have just returned from the Liaodong Military Defense Area, and the Liaodong Army has thousands of our prisoners in our hands, many of whom are officers, including three major generals and division commanders, and more than a dozen colonels and regimental commanders......"

"The Liaodong Army let me come back and tell you that they are willing to return these captives to us, but we have to pay some price?"

Not to mention anything else, only three major generals, division commanders, more than a dozen colonels and regimental commanders, and a large number of middle-level officers made the commander excited.

Because, as long as these people come back, they will be able to build a shelf of three divisions immediately.

Just add a few thousand veterans to it, and there will be three divisions.

There were these three divisions, plus a full-fledged division that remained in Liaoyang. Retreating to Mukden will definitely play a big role in the upcoming Battle of Mukden.

Thinking of this, the commander's frowning brows finally eased, and he asked the ******** behind the lieutenant colonel with a look of expectation.

"What do I have to pay?"

One of the staff officers of the Liaodong Army thought about it and replied: "Liaoyang City and all the materials that your army has hoarded in Liaoyang City ......"

Seeing the commander of the Russian army with his mouth open, he looked incredulous.

The staff officer continued: "On the face of it, the conditions are high. In fact, what your army really needs to pay is not much ...... at all."

"Liaoyang City at our feet, even if we don't come, your army will not hold on. And what your army needs to do is to hide from the Japanese and play a big show with our Liaodong army, so that my Liaodong army will quietly take over Liaoyang City. ”

"As for the materials that your army has hoarded in Liaoyang City, except for a few weapons and ammunition, other materials, no matter how reluctant your army is, it is impossible to take them away. Because, the Japanese army outside the city feels that it is impossible to watch you retreat to Mukden with a large amount of supplies. ”

"Since that's the case, it's better to cheapen my Liaodong Army." (To be continued.) )
