Chapter 711: The Tragic Russian Army
After reading the information handed over by Yang Xingguo, and seeing the gloomy expression on Yang Xingguo's face, Yan Bing immediately understood that his uncle was not saved. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But when she thought of her mother's crying in her office just now, Yan Bing's heart softened, and then asked with a glimmer of last hope: "Xingguo, there is really no way." ”
Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "If it was an ordinary smuggling of arms, I could still save his life." But he sold mortars, and he sold them to the Japanese. You don't know how important mortars are to us, but I can tell you that in the first two Japanese attacks, we were able to win because of mortars. ”
"To put it more bluntly, mortars are our only advantage over the Japanese. Now that the Japanese army also has mortars, then this advantage is gone. If another war breaks out between us and the Japanese army, thousands of officers and men of the Liaodong Army will definitely die on the battlefield because the Japanese army is equipped with mortars. ”
"It's that serious!" Yan Bing was also shocked, and asked with an incredulous expression.
Yang Xingguo nodded and replied: "The matter will only be more serious than I said!" ”
Seeing Yan Bing's face slowly becoming more and more painful, Yang Xingguo walked directly to her, hugged her, and then said with a pained face: "Bing'er, I'm sorry, I really can't help you, your uncle must die!" ”
With the cooperation of Huang Xing and Sun Liechen, it took Zhou Zhongju only one month to complete the internal purge of the three northeastern provinces.
During this period, a total of four or five hundred officers and local officials were sent back to Guannai by the Liaodong Army.
Two or three hundred others were either executed or sent to the mines to mine.
Although there is no guarantee that this operation will completely eliminate the spies in the three northeastern provinces, after this purge, the intelligence bureau, which has not received much attention for a long time, finally entered everyone's field of vision, and as soon as it was launched, it made everyone realize that they must be conscientious and not have two hearts in the Liaodong Army, otherwise no one knows when they will be arrested by the intelligence bureau.
After the loss of a large number of intelligence agencies, although the Japanese army knew that the Liaodong Army had bought another batch of military equipment from Germany. However, because there was no specific source of intelligence, the Japanese military department finally gave up, although it was very eager to destroy the equipment again.
There were no intelligence sources, and the Liaodong Army was more heavily guarded than before, and the escort troops also changed from a battalion to a regiment. In this case, it is difficult to even enter the three eastern provinces, not to mention the equipment that has to be blown up.
Unable to see the Manchurian Army lose several hundred elite Dashanyan again, and was sure that the operation would not be successful, he directly suggested that the military headquarters cancel the operation.
Successfully delivered all the equipment of the two rifle production lines to the Mukden Arsenal and completed the assembly.
The production line, which was assembled a month ago, has already produced almost three thousand Mauser rifles.
What's more, after the equipment that was blown up by the Japanese army more than a month ago was transported to the Mukden Arsenal, a production line was cobbled together after a few engineers worked hard and recycled the waste.
In this way, the four rifle production lines were under the order of Yang Xingguo, working at full speed to produce rifles, plus Yang Xingguo had already established a small steel mill with the support of the Germans, and made every effort to provide high-quality steel to the arsenal, and the output reached an astonishing fifteen thousand rifles in just one month.
After getting the news, the happy Yang Xingguo immediately ordered the guard division near Mukden to start changing clothes.
As for the water beads that came down from the dress, he threw all his brains to Zhou Zhongju, and asked him to find a way to sell them in the customs for silver.
At this time, Yan Binghua made great efforts to set up a canning factory and distillery, and the first batch of products had been transported to the border between the three eastern provinces and Russia after half a month.
Zheng Tao, the person in charge of selling these cans and spirits to Lao Maozi, is a young man who Yan Bing picked up.
Because he has the same experience as Yan Bing studying abroad and engaging in business, coupled with being clever, he was directly promoted to his deputy and was responsible for this transaction.
When he first received this task, Zheng Tao was not optimistic and had no hope of completing this task.
In order to allow Yan Bing to rest early, Yang Xingguo directly called Zheng Tao to the headquarters, and told him how to move Lao Maozi to agree to the idea of trading with him.
After listening, Zheng Tao's first thought was Xuanhu. The whole process sounds very mysterious, like listening to a story.
But after seeing the confident smile on Yang Xingguo's face, although he still didn't believe Yang Xingguo's mysterious proposal in his heart, out of trust in Yang Xingguo, Zheng Tao still decided to give it a try.
After learning from the local Liaodong Army that a dissatisfied regiment was stationed in the territory of Lao Maozi on the opposite side, led by a colonel named Yuri, Zheng Tao immediately began to act according to Yang Xingguo's plan to explain himself.
After preparing a table of meals and the spirits and canned beef and mutton he brought with him in a tavern closest to the border, Zheng Tao directly took the name card and walked towards the Lao Maozi military camp.
Because Zheng Tao was an officer of the Liaodong Army, and he was also from Fengtian, the old Maozi sentry at the gate of the military camp did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent the name post to the regiment headquarters.
Although Yuri is a colonel of the Russian army, he is not very well received from above.
Otherwise, he would not have been assigned here by the military department to serve as the commander of a dissatisfied infantry regiment to confront the Liaodong Army.
Although this is the border line, Yuri's understanding of the Qing Dynasty is to give the Qing people on the other side no matter how bold they are, the Qing people will not dare to attack Russia. In addition, the Russian Far Eastern Military District suffered heavy losses in the last Russo-Japanese War, and was simply unable to re-attack the three northeastern provinces of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, although he was stationed on the border with his troops, he could not obtain military merits because there was no war.
If you don't have military achievements, you won't be able to be promoted, and maybe you'll have to stay here for the rest of your life.
Thinking of this, Colonel Yuri was bored.
Seeing that noon seemed to be approaching, he subconsciously prepared to order his subordinates to prepare lunch for himself, and by the way, prepare some spirits bought from the Chinese.
As for the vodka that Yuri loves to drink very much, I'm sorry, because the Far Eastern Military District is short of supplies, plus this is the border line that has long been forgotten above, and the supply was cut off two months ago.
Not only the vodka that Russians love to drink, but also the meat that Russians can't live without, has been cut off for nearly half a year.
If it weren't for the military district's monthly salary on time, Yuri would have forgotten that he was a Russian soldier.
The only thing that makes Yuri feel fortunate is that there are still many people in the Great Qing Kingdom on the other side, and they can still buy a lot of prey and spirits from the Qing people with military salaries in their hands.
The reason why Yuri wants his subordinates to prepare Chinese soju at noon today is not that Yuri wants to fight tooth sacrifices, but that Yuri thinks of his miserable military career in the second half of his life and plans to use alcohol to relieve his worries.
