Chapter 232: Compromise Again

One minute, two minutes......

In the blink of an eye, five minutes passed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Seeing that Yang Xingguo was still leisurely sipping tea, he didn't have the slightest intention of speaking.

The old Maozi in front of him finally couldn't help but speak.

"Commander Yang, I don't know what conditions you have, so I agreed to my proposal just now......"

"As long as your conditions are not excessive, I can promise you on behalf of the Russian Liaodong garrison. At the same time, I can also assure you that this time, there will be absolutely no accidents, and our commander of Lushun Land Defense sent me here with sincerity. ā€

"Do you want to think about the field artillery regiment?" Yang Xingguo said categorically.

"Either way, you are responsible for this accident. Since it is your fault, then you have to pay some price for your mistakes. And this field artillery regiment is the price I want you to pay......

"What about the more than 3,000 captive soldiers...... Lao Maozi asked subconsciously.

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied, "It's not more than 3,000 people...... Together with the hundreds of artillerymen of the field artillery regiment that had just been captured, there were 4,156 people in total. Including fifteen colonel-level officers, 218 lieutenant-level officers. ā€œ

"For these people, in order for you to better resist the Japanese attack, I can give you back ......"

"However, with so many captives, I can't give them to you for nothing...... You must exchange things from me. ā€

While Lao Maozi breathed a sigh of relief, he hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ā€

"The conditions are similar to last time, except that 10,000 rounds of mountain artillery shells are replaced by 10,000 rounds of field artillery shells."

"Hiss......" Lao Maozi gasped and subconsciously exclaimed.

"Commander Yang, you are a lion with a big mouth......"

"The ammunition given to you last time has been completely drained from the Lushun arsenal. Now you want so many more, don't you ask our commanders to collect ammunition from combat units? ā€

"It's too much, Commander Yang, you have too many supplies......"

At this time, Yang Xingguo asked with a meaningful face: "Then how much do you think so many prisoners are worth......

"Up to 5,000 shells, 100,000 heavy machine-gun bullets. 200,000 rifle bullets ......" Lao Maozi looked at Yang Xingguo and replied with a weak face.

Just when Lao Maozi thought that in the next time, he was going to have a difficult bargain with Yang Xingguo.

Yang Xingguo was very happy and affirmed: "Yes." That's all there is to ammunition. I'll only give you three days, and after three days, you'll still be trading in the old place. ā€

"In order to avoid loud surprises, both sides can only send one battalion of troops."

"Also, as a sign of sincerity. Starting tomorrow, all the armies of your army confronting us will take the initiative to retreat 10 kilometers. ā€

Lao Maozi replied-for-tat: "You can ......"

"But we also have a request, after our army retreats, your army cannot be pushed outward. Your army must operate within the five county towns and must not leave the area of activity......"

"Can ......" Yang Xingguo affirmed without thinking about it.

If it weren't for the fact that Lao Maozi would be stronger, he would have inflicted greater losses on the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese War that was about to break out. Yang Xingguo would never be so easy to talk and sell more than 4,000 captives so cheaply.

This time, Lao Maozi definitely came with sincerity.

There were no incidents in the whole transaction, and the Liaodong army hurriedly returned to Liaozhong with ammunition. Lao Maozi stayed with more than 4,000 captives and escorted them all the way back to Lushun.

Well said in a word. There are no impermeable walls in the world.

Although Yang Xingguo pulled out all the nails that the Japanese had planted in the Liaodong Army, the news that Lao Maozi had lost his troops in the hands of the Liaodong Army and lost the only field artillery regiment still spread.

Although I don't know how the Liaodong Army did it, I don't know why the instructor I planted in the Liaodong Army didn't spread the news.

However, as soon as the news was confirmed, the Japanese military department was keenly aware that the time was now for the Japanese army to launch an attack on Liaodong and defeat the Liaodong garrison of Lao Maozi.

So, it took only two days to prepare. The Japanese offensive began.

Historically, in the face of the sudden thunderous attack of the Japanese, Lao Maozi arranged more than 10,000 people on the defense line of the Yalu River because they were not prepared. It lasted only one day before the Japanese broke through and collapsed on all fronts.

The Japanese attacking forces entered Liaodong with only negligible casualties.

However, this time it was different.

Because Lao Maozi had been prepared for a long time and strengthened the firepower of the troops.

After the offensive began, the Japanese fought for two days without making any progress.

It was not until the Japanese army transferred a large number of artillery pieces that the Japanese army was under the cover of artillery fire. Open a breakthrough in the Lao Maozi defense line.

At the critical moment of life and death, a main division reinforced by the Laomaozi Lushun Land Defense Command as soon as it was formed directly blocked the Japanese offensive and avoided the complete collapse of the Laomaozi Yalu River defense line.

However, this situation did not last long.

Because there was no field artillery regiment to suppress the Japanese artillery.

The entire defense line of the Yalu River, after holding out for ten days, finally did not escape the end of being occupied by the Japanese.

More than 100,000 Japanese divided into two routes as soon as they entered Liaodong.

All the way directly to Lushun, where Lao Maozi's Liaodong garrison headquarters is located, with the cooperation of the naval fleet, take Lushun and eliminate all the land and navy of Lao Maozi stationed in Lushun.

All the way, the Japanese army directly killed the hinterland of Liaodong where Lao Maozi was stationed with heavy troops, completely eliminated the Liaodong garrison of Lao Maozi, and took Liaodong as its own.

The Russo-Japanese War broke out ahead of schedule, and it was not in the same direction as history.

Yang Xingguo smiled as soon as he got the news, and he smiled very happily.

Because the Russo-Japanese War, which he had been looking forward to for a long time, would definitely become a huge fighter for the further development and growth of the Liaodong Army in the near future.

So, as soon as the battle began, Yang Xingguo scattered all the intelligence officers, scouts, and even the cavalry who had completed training in the Liaodong Army, paying attention to the battlefield situation at any time and looking for fighters.

In the blink of an eye, the Russo-Japanese War broke out for a month.

Because after Yang Xingguo arrived, he had unknowingly disturbed the direction of the historical development of Liaodong.

The more than 100,000 Japanese troops full of confidence, except for taking the defense line of the Yalu River of Lao Maozi at the beginning, eliminating and capturing tens of thousands of Lao Maozi, did not achieve much success.

Not only that, Lao Maozi, who has a stronger national strength, may have learned from the Liaodong Army, and actually ambushed the Japanese twice on the Liaodong battlefield, destroying four or five thousand people before and after, and giving the Japanese a hard lesson.

In this way, the offensive momentum of the Japanese was suppressed by Lao Maozi.

Unable to end the battle in a short time, the Japanese could only continue to accumulate strength and wait for the arrival of fighters. (To be continued.) )
