Although Ryanstein is a foreigner, he has always been trusted and respected by Zhao Guanhou, and he is the No. 2 person in the Shandong military system. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoExcept for Zhao Guanhou, no one else can suppress him.

Semenov, a guest general, in front of him, can't be mentioned at all. In addition to this, the power he controls is enough to subdue Semenov and his arrogant soldiers. In addition to more than 1,000 mercenaries, Ryanstein also had the most elite troops in Shandong, and one of the fundamental troops of Beiyang, the Fifth Division. Since the beginning of the war, the 5th Division has always been located in Qingdao and has not participated in the war. With the appearance of Reinstein, Semenov knew: the fifth division, began to move.

"We've made a final deal with the shameful Albians, and now it's time to make a big deal. How did you do in Weihaiwei? ”

Semenov smiled, "The Albians tried to hire me and my men to work for them, and my answer was: To hell with it. I swore my allegiance to Princess Anna forever. Besides, the ghost place in Tianzhu is too hot, and if you are bitten by a mosquito, you may retire early. I'm not going to suffer in such a hellish place. Seriously, I've been worried that the Albians will detain me in Yantai and prevent me and my men from going to war. I really didn't expect that the duck fillet dealers really kept their promise, not only gave us access, but also provided us with a batch of ammunition supplies. ”

"Me and the Fifth Division are going to sit in Qingdao, what do you think it's for? Even if your troops can't participate in the battle, the 5th Division itself will be enough to complete the sweeping mission. It was precisely because of the existence of the Fifth Division that Albiang did not dare to bargain with us. Now that the deal is complete, Fuso people, it's time to fuck off. ”

The county seat of Laiyang, which once belonged to the headquarters of Kamio Mitsuzo, has now become the command center of Ryan Stein. He pointed to the map on the wall,

"All areas under the control of Fuso should be uprooted in the shortest possible time. Shandong does not welcome these Oriental dwarfs, and they have to know that they are unwelcome guests. Gregory? Mihainovich? General Semyonov, I hope that you and your men will be able to continue to complete the task of sweeping. The salary part will be paid in full by Shandong, and there will be no arrears. Of course, your discipline must also be restricted, and I don't want to be laughed at by the people of Albion because of military discipline. It is about the dignity of all the soldiers in Shandong, and I hope you and your subordinates can bear with it. ”

Immediately, Ryanstein looked at Huo Qiu again. This time, Lai's recovery, Huo Qiu's arson, and the killing of Shibasaki with one shot at a critical moment all played a crucial role. His guard battalion, as well as more than seventy percent of the men and horses scattered in the occupied area of Fuso, were waiting to cooperate with the movement of the large army, just like the Shandong Social Customs Investigation Section.

"Huo Qiu, in the next stage of the operation, your subordinates will serve as the main force, tell them, show all their skills, return to Jinan, and I will invite them to a big meal in my personal name."

Huo Qiu returned a military salute, "The brothers of the guard battalion, since the little devil landed at Longkou, he has gathered all his strength. All waiting for this opportunity, rest assured, do not disgrace the mission! ”

Fusang's intelligence agency knew as early as the pre-Jin era that Shandong had a battalion-level armed force with outstanding combat effectiveness, and knew that this armed force had many brilliant achievements. However, due to the gap between the times, it is not clear from the concept that the significance of special operations lies. The Fuso military's positioning of this unit is also seriously biased.

In Fusang's intelligence, the guard battalion is only a guard unit in Shandong with relatively good individual combat skills, and on the battlefield, it undertakes the work of hunters and belongs to the reinforced infantry. According to this judgment, the importance attached to the guard battalion is not high.

No matter how good the infantry is, on the battlefield of a large corps, it is nothing more than a chess piece, and a hunting battalion is over-performing, that is, the combat effectiveness of a rifle regiment. Assuming that all of them are dispatched as snipers, it is no more than the level of their own special hunting team. On a battlefield composed of thousands of people, there is not much wind and waves.

The results it achieved were due to the low level of the Chinese battlefield as a whole, which gave it room to play, and for the Fuso Army, this kind of force was not a threat and was not taken seriously.

Negligence is always at a cost, and in war, that price is often blood and human life. Since the beginning of the war, the guard battalion has been hidden by Zhao Guanhou as a sharp blade, and he didn't even take them with him. It is to avoid the sacrifice of this elite force in a meaningless battle, and with the actions of the large army, the quick knife of the guard battalion has finally come to the time to unsheath and drink blood.

The strength of the Fuso army in the occupied area was limited, and with the frequent attacks in various places, as well as the pressure of Semenov's Tiele troops and the pressure of the 5th Division, the Fuso army in various places adopted the tactics of shrinking. Try to keep the county seat as much as possible, and leave the vast countryside to the guard battalion to play to the fullest.

With a burst of explosions, a bridge collapsed with the sound of the explosion, and the Fusang military column that was driving on the bridge fell to the river below along with the bridge. In a county town, a warehouse stockpiled with important supplies exploded and caught fire, and when the garrison commanded the firefighting, it was attacked by a series of mines and regular bombing of eggs.

In Pingdu, the guard battalion orchestrated a classic serial murder. First, the prefectural governor who sincerely cooperated with the Fuso people was hacked to death with an axe, and then the corpse was disemboweled, and the eggs were regularly fried inside.

When the officers of the garrison investigated the scene of the crime, a shocking explosion at the post-mortem site made the military headquarters of Fusang instantly increase more than ten second-order special promotion personnel. By the time Semenov's troops arrived in Pingdu, the entire county had already been taken over by the guard battalion plus the anti-water police brigade.

In the mountains, forests, and fields, the chaotic banners were hoisted, and the armed groups with the aim of welcoming the Fifth Division and celebrating the liberation of the armed groups became more and more active. Thanks to police inspections mixed with residents, the organization of soldiers, and officially issued weapons, the Volunteer Army was quickly formed.

This kind of untrained temporary force was unlikely to cause much damage to the Fuso people. But when the 5th Division attacked with Tieler's troops, the situation became very different. Scattered Fuso soldiers or search teams often have no advantage against these volunteers. The cooperation between the soldiers of the guard battalion and the forces of these forces greatly increased the role of these units.

The temporary railroad built by the Fuso people was destroyed, and the bodies of the road guards were stripped of and left on both sides of the roadbed. The man, who had served as the leader of the police investigation team and is now the commander of the volunteer company, looked at several soldiers of the guard battalion who guided them in their work, as if he were looking at a fairy.

"Thanks to a few, we can do it so easily, in the past few days, we have touched more than a dozen Fuso people, and it is said that there are engineers among them?"

"The engineer who built the railroad is nothing remarkable." These soldiers of the guard battalion, enjoying the feeling of being worshipped, looked into the distance, and instructed in the style of experts: "Next, the Fuso people will either give up the railway, or send more search soldiers." You people can't stand it, so hurry up. ”

"What about you?"

"Let's bury a few more mines for him, and don't leave them a memory, how can we be worthy of these Oriental devils. The railroad was almost destroyed, and then it was time to pull out the telegraph line of the Fuso. Just hide it yourself, we have a lot of work to do. ”

One county town after another changed hands, either due to internal mutinies or due to attacks by large Lu troops. Previously, Fuso did not pay much attention to the defense of the rear, and the force was too thin. In the battle to recapture Longkou, the mobile forces were almost completely annihilated, and the strength of the remaining defenders in various places was even thinner. The activity of the guard battalion, combined with the crushing of the absolute superior forces of the Lu army, the Oriental stronghold in the Jiaodong area, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, was swept away!

At the beginning of the Weifang front, the Longkou incident was only regarded as an armed attack by bandits and rout organizations, and did not think too much about it. However, not long after the order to recapture was issued, the communication between the front and the rear was completely cut off, the railways were paralyzed, and the delivery of military supplies almost came to a standstill. Even, Kamio Light had to draw out a large group of troops to solve the Longkou problem in the context of the tension of the front-line troops, but what he got was just an almost exhausted herald and desperate news

The Fifth Division appeared in the rear of our army, and the Yamada Brigade of our army fell into the siege of the Fifth Division, the captain of the brigade was shattered, and the whole army was in danger!

During this time, it was turned upside down with the Imperial Army, but it was not the Fifth Division? This news almost lifted the entire front-line staff. The first reaction of the staff officers was to shout: No way, you must have made a mistake with the enemy. The fifth division was at the front, it could not be in the rear.

Kamio Hikaru rebelled, but quickly regained his composure, and made a gesture to interrupt the noise of the staff officers, "I can understand your feelings, but please respect the sacrifices of the front-line soldiers." I believe that Captain Yamada will not make a wrong judgment, and we must face the reality that the Fifth Division is in our rear, and Tiele's mercenary regiment is also ...... Problems such as the interruption of communications and the unfavorable delivery of supplies were also explained in the most reasonable way. Zhao Guanhou used himself as bait to set up this game for us, he wanted to ...... Eat us. ”

Although he was reluctant to admit this, at this time, the officers in the command headquarters knew in their hearts that Kamio's judgment was basically correct. The troops of the three divisions of Fuso are being caught in a huge encirclement network. Strategically, it was the Lu army that seized the opportunity.

"Navy! It's all shameful Navy! They are so useless. If the navy had performed better, the Qingdao fortress would not be in the current situation. Navy officers, they should all go to seppuku! ”

Shouichi Suzuki shook his head, "It doesn't make sense to say these things now. When will our Army be able to put the hope of victory in the Navy? Now, we are the only ones we can rely on. If you want to win, you have to rely on your own saber to get it, and it is useless to complain. ”

Victory? The staff officers were speechless. In this situation, how is it possible to win?

Due to the paralysis of supply lines, there are already great difficulties with the supply of materials at the front. The food ration of the soldiers could not meet the basic needs of the stomach, and even the soldiers who served as death squad members could only get strong pills, not a full meal. What's even more terrifying is that even the pill is about to bottom out.

With the scarcity of materials, the attack of the Fuso army was also unsustainable, and the attack on the fortifications of the Lu army gradually became a response. Now the condition of the Fuso army is like that of a donkey chasing a carrot. Obviously, I was only one bite away from being able to swallow a carrot in my mouth, but in fact, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach it.

In order to end the battle before starvation, the soldiers burst into an astonishing fighting spirit and launched one attack after another on the fortress, but in exchange, only dead and wounded and despaired.

With the shortage of ammunition, the army relied more on white-knuckle combat to solve the battle, and there were fewer and fewer scenes of fighting to keep ammunition. The Lu army first concentrated the artillery fire, then threw the bullets in their hands frantically, and then fired several rounds of volleys of guns. Fuso's waves of people attacked, and there were not many people who really rushed to the front of the position. Coupled with the effect of hunger, even if you fight the white soldiers, you can't take advantage of it.

Now, behind him are more than 20,000 elite troops, at this time, still thinking about victory? Kamio Mitsuzo said: "Suzuki, if you have any ideas, just say them directly." ”

"Attack! Organize a complete offensive. With a decisive posture, he launched a jade crushing charge against the Lu army. All materials are distributed at one time, as long as their own strength is strong enough, no matter what net, they can be broken. The power in Shandong is concentrated in Zhao Guanhou alone, as long as we capture him alive or kill him, we can turn defeat into victory. Or, the same is true for the capture of the county seat of Weifang. I believe that the Lu army must have hoarded a large number of materials for this battle, and as long as we get those supplies, we can support it. The country will not sit idly by and watch the three divisions being eaten, they will definitely send reinforcements to meet us. As long as it is supported in front of us, there is hope. ”

"Suzuki-kun, don't you think about the strategy of retreat? At present, it seems that opening up transportation lines is more important than capturing Weifang. The head of the temple division expressed his dissenting opinion. Suzuki didn't answer, just looked at Kamio.

"Commander of the temple division, we are afraid that it will be very difficult for us to retreat now." Shenwei said helplessly: "The Lu army in front of us will not let us leave calmly, in fact, now that we are under attack, we can only concentrate on solving one part of it, and then consider the other part." In front of us, the fortifications on which Zhao Guanhou relied had been largely destroyed in many days of fighting, and the casualties of the troops were also very large. Rather than letting the soldiers fight the Fifth Division in their current state, I also think that it is easier to deal with Zhao Guanhou. Since he used himself as a bait and arranged this game, he should have the consciousness of being swallowed. ”

He then stood up and said in a deep voice: "I now announce that all the troops will rest for one hour, distribute all combat materials, and after one hour, carry out a general attack." (To be continued.) )
