As soon as the battle on the artillery position ended, Yang Xingguo entered the Lao Maozi artillery position, which had been completely occupied by the Fifth Regiment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

More than 50 field guns, except for a few still on the gun emplacement, all the other field guns were pushed out of the gun emplacement, ready to retreat.

Looking at the two-meter-long black hole barrel of the field artillery, Yang Xingguo was very happy.

Because, with the killing weapon of field artillery, the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army will definitely be improved, and it will be greatly improved.

Soon, Sun Liechen, who had entered the artillery position one step in advance, rushed over and reported with excitement.

"Commander...... Made, we got rich, a total of 54 field guns, all of which were captured by us......"

"None of the hundreds of horses that transported these guns died, and all of them were captured by us......"

"It's just that there are fewer captured shells......"

"All combined, there are only more than 2,000 rounds, and even fifty shells are averaged less than ...... for one cannon."

"It's already good...... Yang Xingguo said comfortingly with a smile on his face.

Subsequently, he continued: "However, these field artillery and shells are not really ours yet. After all, this is still Lao Maozi's territory. Immediately organize the brothers, take these field artillery and retreat to Liaozhong. Only when we enter Liaozhong can these field artillery really count us. ”

Sun Liechen assured with a confident face: "Please rest assured, Commander, we have captured more than 500 old Maozi artillerymen here. With their help, it will take a maximum of twenty minutes to retreat......"

At this moment, the herald sent by Zhang Shanlin also rushed over and reported excitedly.

"Commander, good news, the old Maozi who came to reinforce the artillery regiment has retreated......"

"Our regiment commander asked me to ask if the troops would attack immediately and capture the captives that Lao Maozi did not take away."

After getting the entire battle process from the herald's mouth, Yang Xingguo directly ordered: "Catch, catch them all for me, the more you catch, the better." ”

"This time it's Lao Maozi who is unkind, so don't blame me for Yang Xingguo's injustice. Use these old Maozi prisoners, and then knock a stroke on the Liaodong garrison of Lao Maozi and teach them a lesson. ”

When Yang Xingguo took the spoils of war and hurriedly returned to Liaozhong.

Two thousand remnants led by Major General Lao Maozi. Finally entered a county town closest to the battlefield.

Facing the defeated remnants of the demoralized soldiers behind him, he thought of the field artillery regiment that had completely lost news.

The major general knew that he was defeated, and he was completely defeated.

Not only that, but as the dominant player of the entire transaction. I will definitely take all the responsibility after the failure.

Just when Major General Mao Maozi was thinking about something with a depressed expression.

The regiment commander, who had been following him all the time and had a very ugly face, had to remind: "Sir, there are still more than 1,100 people in the whole regiment who can continue to fight. The more than 900 captives brought back were all slightly poisoned by military doctors. Even if they are treated in time, there is no way to restore their combat effectiveness within two days. ”

"Don't know what to do next? Please make it clear to the Chief......"

The Major General shook his head and ordered with a look of despair.

"After the Liaodong Army wins the field artillery regiment, its strength will definitely increase greatly. Even if we want to encircle him again, we will have to wait until the defeat of the Japanese......"

"In order to prevent the Liaodong Army from attacking us in our big battle with the Japanese. We must temporarily maintain good relations with the Liaodong Army, and it is worth paying some price for this. “

"You immediately return to Lushun with the troops and the prisoners, and tell the commander what I have said, in the original language......

"What about you, sir?" The head of the regiment asked subconsciously.

The major general shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I asked the Liaodong garrison to lose my wife and lose my troops...... Do you think I'll end well when I go back? ”

"It's better to die here than to be court-martialed in disgrace and ......"

"By doing so, I can at least keep some military honor and avoid implication for my family back home."

The Lushun Land Defense Command, after listening to the regiment commander's report, originally had a commander with a belly of anger. After learning that the major general had died in battle, there was silence immediately. I held back the anger in my stomach, and I could only continue to hold it, and there was no place to vent.

Then. The commander of the land defense could only hold back his anger and dissatisfaction and asked: "You just said that before the deputy chief of staff committed suicide, you have something to tell me......

"Yes, the commander ......" the regiment commander hastened to answer.

Then, with a serious face, he said the original text word for word.

After hearing this, the dissatisfaction on the face of the commander of the land defense was immediately replaced by helplessness.

said to the regiment commander: "I knew it was so. Why bother in the first place? ”

"Now, the Liaodong Army has one more field artillery regiment, plus they still have three or four thousand of our prisoners in their hands. Is there any other way than to compromise with them temporarily? ”

Speaking of this, the helpless commander of the land defense has already made a decision: immediately send a new negotiator to Liaozhong to negotiate with the Liaodong Army.

Of course, the reason that forced the commander of the land defense to make a decision so quickly was in addition to the fact that the Liaodong Army had an additional field artillery regiment and its strength had greatly increased. There is another reason, and the most important one. “

The Japanese stationed in Korea had already begun a large-scale military movement in the run-up to the war.

According to the analysis of the General Staff, in a maximum of ten days, the Japanese will launch an attack on Liaodong.

Such a critical juncture, if there is not a stable rear. No matter how capable he is, he can't stop the thunderous attack of the Japanese no matter how much he relies on the limited Liaodong garrison.

Therefore, Lao Maozi Commander of the Land Defense must create a stable rear before the Japanese attack.

The headquarters of the Liaodong Army, Lao Maozi's visit, although Yang Xingguo expected.

However, Yang Xingguo didn't expect that Lao Maozi would come so quickly and in such a hurry.

Lao Maozi, who was carrying the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulders, brought it to Yang Xingguo twice as much, and pushed all the accidents in the last transaction on the deputy chief of staff who had committed suicide.

Then, he was very cunning enough to ask Yang Xingguo to return the prisoners and field artillery regiments to the Russian Liaodong garrison, and promised that from now on, the Russian Liaodong garrison would never attack the Liaodong army again.

Lao Maozi is cunning, and Yang Xingguo is not a vegetarian.

The fat that has reached his mouth, even if Yang Xingguo is a fool, he will not spit it out and return it to Lao Maozi.

Therefore, after listening to Lao Maozi's words, Yang Xingguo didn't say a word, just sat quietly in his place and tasted tea.

Yang Xingguo is confident that there must be a reason why Lao Maozi found himself to negotiate so quickly.

I don't know, but I can guess it.

At this moment, Lao Maozi must be anxious to negotiate with himself, stabilize his rear, and concentrate on fighting the Japanese.

Since Lao Maozi is so anxious, as long as he drags it out, it is not himself who is anxious, but Lao Maozi's negotiator.

Sure enough, seeing that he didn't speak, the old man who was still confident just now became anxious.

Although Lao Maozi tried his best to suppress the thoughts in his heart, he didn't let it show it on his face.

However, Yang Xingguo still noticed something from the slightest change on the other party's face? (To be continued.) )
