Chapter 172: Yue Peeling
Bingcheng, Xiangfang Railway Station.
Tsarist Russia abandoned the city and guarded the military camp on the bank of the Songhua River, so the temporary headquarters and railway station area of Tsarist Russia temporarily became the station of the Black Dragon Army.
However, because Yue Weihua did not plan to occupy the ice city for a long time, from the afternoon, Yue Weihua did the work of peeling the skin, and a large number of rice, flour, grain, quilts, winter clothes and other winter materials stored in the warehouse of Tsarist Russia were all stored in one warehouse by Yue Weihua in the space of the Meritorious Pagoda.
In addition, tens of thousands of guns and ammunition of the Qing army captured by Tsarist Russia, as well as more than 20 red-coated cannons, were also taken away by Yue Weihua.
At nine o'clock in the evening, that is, at the same time when the war began in Fufu County, Yue Weihua held a meeting of officers at and above the regimental level in the temporary conference room of the Xiangfang Railway Station, and the participants included Commander-in-Chief Yue Weihua, Cavalry Regiment Commander Yue Xiaodong, Deputy Brigade Captain Chen Jinjiang, Cavalry Map Chief of Staff Xiao Guangtian, Chief of Staff of the Second Field Artillery Regiment Shi Peng, and Deputy Commanders of the Cavalry Regiment Botat, Na Minzhi, and Zhang Side.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate you on eating three infantry battalions and two cavalry battalions of an infantry brigade and two cavalry battalions of Tsarist Russia with the strength of one regiment, and annihilating more than 6,000 people of the Southern Route Army of Tsarist Russia in two days." Yue Weihua said with a smile.
"Everywhere, it's the wise command of the commander-in-chief."
"Hey, yes, yes."
"Okay, don't compliment each other here, a good fight is good, no one can deny that." Yue Weihua waved his hand, stopping everyone's laughter, and then continued: "The third encirclement and suppression of Tsarist Russia, the East Road has been completely annihilated, and the North Route Army has basically died, and now on the South Road, Tsarist Russia only has a little remnant left, and it is only a matter of time before they eat them, and the battle on the West Road has just started at this moment, whether they can win this battle depends on Yue Weiyun's ability." ”
"Commander Yue Weiyun, you will definitely be able to win, but I'm afraid it's not easy to fight." Yue Xiaodong said with a smile, although there are a lot of people, but they are all rabble, and it may not be known whether the military order can be strictly enforced, and the result is indeed unpredictable.
"Hehe, Zhou Dabiao is also over there, it seems that he is going to carry out the beheading plan tonight, I don't know if it has succeeded?" Deputy Captain Chen Jinjiang also smiled.
"It doesn't matter if it's good or not, but the victory definitely belongs to our Black Dragon Army."
"That's for sure."
Chief of Staff Xiao Guangtian and others who were doing it all echoed.
"Okay, it's hard to fight, it's not hard to fight, we are all beyond the reach of the whip, we can only rely on Yue Weiyun to co-ordinate, today's meeting, there are two main topics, the first is about the remnants of the Tsarist army on the Songhua River, and the second is the task of eliminating the cavalry regiment after the Tsarist Russia."
"Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention that the two Tsarist generals who were sniped by me at noon today were actually one of the Tsarist Russian commanders in the ice city, Gerasimus, and the other was the chief of staff Novis, that is, the current state of Tsarist Russia is basically leaderless." Yue Weihua smiled.
"Commander-in-chief, worthy of being the commander-in-chief, amazing."
"Hehe, you just know, the commander-in-chief is amazing, today's matter, when it reaches the battalions, companies and platoons below, some people still don't believe it, commander-in-chief, or tomorrow you open your eyes to the big guys, so that those little cubs who don't have long eyes can shut up."
"Incredible, two thousand five or six hundred meters."
"Okay, the reason why I am talking about this here is not to let you compliment me, but to tell you that the remnants of Tsarist Russia may have to evacuate, originally in view of our great destruction of the Tsarist Russian Eastern Route Army Fleet in the Heishui River, they may still be in hesitation, and now the commander and chief of staff have been killed, I guess that the other party will evacuate at any time, but their evacuation is exactly what we want."
"I have already sent people down this afternoon to investigate, and the news just came back that there is a section of river about 100 kilometers lower reaches of the Songhua River that is very suitable for an ambush, so after the meeting, I will lead the special combat team and artillery to leave first and arrange an ambush battlefield." Yue Weihua said.
"Commander-in-chief, what about our cavalry regiment, the size of the Tsarist Russian fleet is not small, with a total of more than two thousand people, can it be done with the special combat team and artillery alone?" Yue Xiaodong asked.
"We have already reconnoitred clearly, this Tsarist fleet, there are sixteen river ships, only five gunboats, the rest are tugboats and cargo ships, in addition to the crew, the real combatants, about 15 or 600 people, just the special combat team and artillery want to eat, it will indeed be a little difficult, so I need to draw mortars and heavy machine gunners from the cavalry regiment to participate in the battle."
"Of course, I'll be back tonight when I'm over."
"That's good."
"However, when the battle is over, I will not return to Ice City, we will move eastward, of course, the troops of the cavalry regiment will be transferred, they will definitely come back."
"Eastward?"
……
"Alright, now for the second thing."
"At present, Tsarist Russia should be gathering a large number of troops in Jilin and Liaoyang, Guannei, and even their homeland, preparing for the fourth encirclement and suppression of our Black Dragon Army, but this will take time, and I am afraid that the time is not short, because they may not dare to disperse their forces to encircle and suppress us, but it will not wait until the heavy snow covers the mountain, so I guess that this fourth encirclement and suppression may come within a month."
"And in this month, what we can do is to vigorously strengthen the army, in the wolf domain we have incorporated the Fei Qing Division, reorganized into the 103, 104 regiments, the Moling Army Division is also formed, the Xigang Army Division after tonight's battle, the Qing army under the Yu Busheng standard, as well as the brothers of the Boxers, is estimated to be able to be successfully absorbed."
"In addition, the Xigang Army Sub-district will also use the human resources ordered by Qihar and Morgen, and at least one or two regiments will be expanded."
"And now, since the cavalry regiment has come to Bingcheng, on the way back, it will pass through Suihua, Hailun, Bei'an and other counties and cities, especially Bingcheng, which is rich in population resources, so I hope you can recruit troops here and raise one or two regiments."
"Moreover, I suggest that after you recruit troops, you don't have to rush back, but spend ten days and half a month training new recruits on the spot, and then take out your specialties and fight back the bandits all the way, which can not only absorb the righteous bandits, but also eliminate harm for the people, and can also achieve the effect of actual combat training." Yue Weihua said.
"Hehe, Commander-in-Chief, you need to leave me plenty of weapons and ammunition." Yue Xiaodong paused, and without waiting for Yue Weihua to answer, he continued: "At least three regiments of equipment will do." ”
"I will leave you as many mortars and Maxim heavy machine guns as possible, even if you have light machine guns, you can only use water beads for rifles, and box guns are also available." Yue Weihua thought about it for a while and replied.
Just because of the incorporation of Fei Qing's department and Yu Busheng's department, three regiments have been reorganized, and if the Boxer Regiments are successfully absorbed, there will be a regiment of scale, and the Xigang Military Division of the Black Dragon Army will almost need the establishment of two regiments, plus the two regiments here now, this is at least eight regiments that need to be redressed.
If it is all changed according to the previous outfit, that regiment will almost cost 18,000 merit points, obviously, Yue Weihua does not have so many merit points to exchange, and Yue Weihua is already ready to exchange for rifles and submachine gun production lines, so, because the expansion is really a bit fast, the new troops can only be partially redressed.
For example, mortars and Makqin heavy machine guns, these must be needed, of course, I am afraid that the number cannot be the same as before, a regiment of 100 mortars, may have to be reduced to at least half to 50, and the same is true for heavy machine guns, so Yue Weihua will answer like this, as for the specific amount, I am afraid it will have to be totaled again.
"Well, you're the boss, you have the final say."
Yue Xiaodong also knew about the overall expansion of the Black Dragon Army, so he could only express his understanding.
"Well, in addition to recruiting troops, we must also promote the spirit of our Black Dragon Army,......
After the meeting, Yue Weihua left the ice city with his subordinates, and at about one o'clock in the morning, he went down the river and arrived at Qingshui Town, which was more than 100 kilometers away.
Three kilometers away from the west gate of Fufu County, the temporary headquarters of the Black Dragon Army.
After Yue Weiyun commanded the battalions outside the north gate to enter the wealthy county seat, he did not enter the city himself, but turned to a high ground outside the west gate with the guard company, and the field artillery battalion was also fighting until more than ten o'clock, and after the diversion was ineffective, he moved from the southeast two gates to the high ground outside the west gate, and began to arrange ambush positions.
The reason why the ambush position was chosen to be arranged on the high ground outside the west gate was mainly to predict the direction of the withdrawal of the remnants of Tsarist Russia, which may be back to this side, after all, the north is to go to Mergen City, which is the territory of the Black Dragon Army, and the south is to Qiqihar, Lao Maozi will definitely dare to go, not to mention the east, which is to enter the hinterland of Heishui Province.
Therefore, if there is no accident among the remnants of Tsarist Russia and they choose to evacuate, then they must break through to the west, because there are still Tsarist Russian garrisons in the ******** steppe to the west.
"The fighting in the county has come to a standstill, and it seems that Lao Maozi has found some clues." Yue Weiyun frowned, and then ordered: "Telecommunications room, how is it over there, have you deciphered the other party's new telecommunications code?" ”
Now that Lao Maozi found that the telegram was deciphered, it is naturally impossible to still use the previous password and signal frequency, and it is certainly not an easy thing to crack, but if it can be cracked in advance, then the movement of Tsarist Russia will have nothing to hide, after all, now the city is tightly blocked, and the garrisons of the four directions of Tsarist Russia want to converge in the city, or send representatives to communicate, I am afraid it is not an easy thing.
"Commander, this decipherment will take time, I'm afraid that by the time we decipher it, the other party will already start acting." Su Jing, chief of the telecommunications section, replied.
"Well, try your best, and keep in close contact with the city to keep abreast of the movements of Tsarist Russia."
"Yes, Commander."
