Chapter 289: Marshal Chekov's Plan
readx;
Monk Greenqin's good wish is to face Lin Haijiang face to face and have a knife-to-knife fight! However, Seng Lingqin himself also knew that this was probably unlikely, he had seen that kid in Lin Haijiang, why didn't he see that this kid was anti-bones in the first place? If I had destroyed that kid with one shot at that time, I'm afraid that the picturesque country would still be in the Qing Dynasty now!
Monk Greenqin let out a long sigh, Lin Haijiang's annihilation seemed to be loyal to make him feel very helpless and indignant, the gunfire in the direction of Dogridge stopped after a few intermittent explosions, this kind of reconnaissance has been accustomed to Monk Greenqin in these days, Monk Greenqin is a long-time battle-hardened person, he naturally knows that this is the prelude to Lin Haijiang's preparation to attack, hearing this unique gunshot, Monk Greenqin knew that it must be the Russians who suffered, looking at a soldier with a Russian Sekov rifle on his back, Monk Grinqin tried to pull the rifle of the trembling and pale soldier, but a layer of skin was glued to his hand?
The monk Greenqin, who frowned slightly in pain, took a torch and roasted the bolt for a while, before he laboriously pulled the bolt and looked at the empty chamber? Turning to look at Li Chonglin, the chief soldier who was wearing from the second grade, Li Chonglin rubbed his hands helplessly and said: "Lord Wang Mingjian, the oil in the gun that the Russians gave us is easy to freeze, but if it is not too oily, the gun will be scrapped after more than a dozen shots, and the Russians' things are far less useful than those over there. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Monk Greenqin said a little helplessly: "Such a big snowstorm, such a cold day, it is estimated that there will be no action over there, get more leather robes, at least the sentry should have one, right?" Otherwise, people can really freeze to death this night, and if they freeze to death, people's morale will drop! ā
Li Chonglin opened his mouth and finally left everything he wanted to say in the bottom of his heart, where is there any morale to lower now? The fourth town of the newly formed forbidden army that helped the Russians dig positions has almost run half of it these days, and there are only some full people left who are making jokes in the rear camp, and the Han people have long run out! At this moment, Li Chonglin was very glad that his wise move was that the troops who went to dig the fortifications were not equipped with weapons, otherwise it would really become Qian Furen's third town, which can be said to be a loss to his wife and soldiers! Li Chonglin's small abacus is to sell the extra part of his weapons to Qian Furen, who has a huge gap, so that the two sides look similar, and the monk king will not ask in detail when the war is imminent, Qian Furen can get through the trick, and he can also make a fortune by the way.
Walking down the pass, Monk Lingqin suddenly said: "How many soldiers have we run away recently?" I want to listen to the truth, and I will save the vanity! ā
Li Chonglin hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said: "The situation in each town is different, for example, most of my town is Han army, and my home is in the pass, and it is not easy for people to feel homesick, and they can't eat enough in the cold, and they have to help the Russians dig fortifications and positions, so I can't stand it at all. It is said that the same was sent to the road fee back to Yanjing, but there were also those who were caught by the other side, and it was impossible to distinguish between them, and now the patrol must have at least one battalion head, otherwise there will be fewer than 100 people, and they are often taken away directly by people who wrap dumplings, I am surprised! What are the soldiers of Lin Haijiang wearing? Are they not afraid of the cold? Most of them are southerners, huh? ā
Monk Lingqin frowned and said: "Lin Haijiang has silver, naturally he doesn't worry about the dead, their equipment even the Russians have to count their thumbs, now I'm afraid it's not just us who are worried!" ā
And the Russians who swore that they had recently been captured by at least 100 tongues by the other side, and it is estimated that there are no secrets that can be kept, and now the only hope is that the Russians have planted some mines and their cannons can compete with Lin Wei's artillery, as long as the artillery can be leveled and not suffer too much loss, Seng Greenqin will be seventy percent sure to hold this pass, if the Russians' artillery can not hold the field, then this Shanhaiguan is the real danger.
Monk Greenqin stood in front of the cowhide map of his big tent, although there were more than ten charcoal basins in the five-layer cowhide tent, and Monk Greenqin was wearing several layers of thick fur, but he still couldn't feel a trace of warmth, Monk Greenqin knew that this bone-chilling chill was not only brought by the ghost weather and strong winds, but more from the Chinese Empire On the one hand, the Chinese Empire has hoarded a large number of materials and troops in Funing, and the recent reconnaissance has become more and more frequent, and even the guerrillas of the Chinese Empire have appeared near Jinzhou, This news is undoubtedly worse for Seng Lingqin.
However, in the face of the Chinese Empire, which had absolute sea control, Seng Lingqin was very helpless, because the long coastline of the entire Liaodong Peninsula could become the landing point of the other party everywhere, and it was simply impossible to prevent it.
If it weren't for the fact that Liaodong Bay had been frozen at the moment, making it impossible for the Chinese Empire's large troops and artillery and other heavy equipment to go ashore, Monk Lingqin would have lost confidence in guarding Shanhaiguan, but before that, he could only do his best to know the destiny of heaven!
Twenty miles behind the Shanhai Pass, in a deserted village that has been abandoned for many years, the command post of Marshal Chekov, the commander of the Russian army, is located here, except for not adapting to such a strong wind, everything else is not bad in the eyes of the Russians, at this moment Marshal Chekov's tent is roasting a golden fat sheep, and more than a dozen Russian generals are pushing glasses with wine bottles.
Marshal Chekov sat on a large chair covered with otter skins and held a wine glass, and said to the Russian general closest to him: "Ikov, how much of the forward fortifications have been completed now?" ā
Ikov, who was chewing mutton in his mouth, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then thought about it: "It's about seventy percent!" It is estimated that it will be completed in another twenty days. ā
Marshal Chekov nodded, took off his lambskin military hat and said: "I have a strong premonition, the attack of the Chinese Imperial Army is likely to be imminent, their reconnaissance is becoming more and more intensive, and most of them are armed forced reconnaissance, starting tomorrow our troops will also be engaged in the excavation of trenches, and we will have to build large bunkers in each defensive area ourselves, once the war breaks out, it is our own lives, how can we hand it over to others to complete?" ā
Ikov nodded and said, "Hmm! I'll inform you in a moment, the style of these days is extraordinary, so the speed of construction is relatively slow, but the empire rushed over this batch of mines have been buried, it is said that it is based on the German sample imitation, its prototype is invented by the Chinese Empire, the thing is not big but the power is not small, in the Franco-Prussian War the French suffered a lot of losses several times, the empire also purchased a batch from the hands of the French for imitation, but in terms of the imitation process of the empire, Whether it can achieve the effect they said is still unknown? I just hope it comes in handy. ā
Marshal Chekov looked at the generals who had stopped eating and drinking, and thought for a moment: "The terrain and topography of the three lines of defense we have arranged are all favorable to our army, but on the issue of the distribution of artillery firepower, I still advocate the centralized and unified use of all artillery, after all, there are only a few points where the Chinese Empire may carry out a general attack on the front of the whole day, once the direction of the enemy's main attack is judged, we are mobilizing artillery fire to support, But before that, I hope that the artillery units will prepare at least three to five spare firing positions in each firing direction, only in this way can we ensure the safety of the artillery units, and it is too much of a loss to fight against the artillery of the Chinese Empire to suppress us, even if their artillery leaves the factory in Hainan, it will only take 20 days to transport it to the front line by sea to Tianjin, while ours will take four or five months! ā
Ikov frowned and said, "Your Excellency Marshal, since the pressure on the long logistics supply is so great, why don't we take the initiative to attack?" Such a passive defense to fight a war of attrition is very disadvantageous to us from the perspective of time! ā
Marshal Chekov took a deep breath and said: "I am also very clear about this, but before us, the total annihilation of Villedovsky's 200,000-strong army has already explained the problem, our infantry division of 7,000 people only has 30 machine guns, while an infantry division of the Chinese Empire has as many as 12,000 to 13,000 people, equipped with more than 300 machine guns and 36 75-mm field guns. Even the imitation of the surname can be greatly discounted, if the army of the Chinese Empire shrinks into a defensive mode, then we are afraid that we are really powerless, Veredovsky's failure is that he blindly attacked the defensive positions held by the other side with the main force, and as a result, he suffered heavy casualties, so that the morale of the troops was low, military discipline was slack, and in the end it completely collapsed! ā
Chekov paused for a moment and continued: "So this time we will implement the plan of holding on first and then counterattacking, first using the three defensive positions to effectively consume the enemy's sharp energy and vital strength, and then quickly attack from both flanks with cavalry troops, and the main force will attack in front of the formation, tightly biting the attacking troops of the Chinese Empire, so that the opponent's artillery superiority can not be brought into play, and strive to effectively destroy the enemy's one or two army corps, and consume the enemy's troops and reserves as much as possible!" Stabilize the front first, only in this way can we get more things from the Qing State, and wait for next spring, once the ice period of Liaodong Bay ends, that is, a great opportunity for us to withdraw our troops, then we can plunder the wealth of the Qing court and return with a full load, in Heilongjiang and even the entire Far East will be our world, and we don't have to look at Moscow's face to be a man! ā
