Chapter 160: Unification of China 11
As soon as the adjutant's words fell, Nie Yuanzheng took the telegram handed by the adjutant, his eyes quickly swept the content of the telegram, and then handed the telegram to Xiang Zilong, and then strode to the military map hanging in the headquarters, looking at the map and thinking deeply.
After reading the telegram, Xiang Zilong and Pang Wei all walked to Nie Yuanzheng's side, and Nie Yuanzheng suddenly turned around: "It seems that the Second Front Army's attack on Mukden from the north has achieved results, and it is said that the Russian coalition army is going to abandon Jinzhou and retreat to Shengjing." ”
Xiang Zilong nodded when he heard this: "Yes, there are only 50,000 troops left behind by the Russian coalition army in Shengjing, and there are 50,000 troops in the second front army attacking Shengjing, we are the attacker, the enemy army is the attacked side, we take the initiative, the enemy army is passive, the enemy army is bound to withdraw to the army of Jinzhou, hold Shengjing, and then try to open up the communication line to Harbin in the north, otherwise once the southern troops of the second front army capture Shengjing, the Russian army in the area from Jinzhou to Shengjing will be completely surrounded by us." ”
Pang Wai nodded and said: "Yes, from Shengjing to North Korea, the railway has been built, which belongs to my sphere of influence, although it is said that Russia and Russia are allies, but unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not let the Russians get involved in the area they occupy, so Russia's purpose is to open up the northern line of communication, I suggest that the main force in front do their best to take Jinzhou, and then cross the Daling River north at the fastest speed, and closely pursue the Russian coalition army, so that they have no chance to breathe." ”
Sun Chuanfang also nodded and said: "Yes, now our army's 7th Division, 8th Division, 9th Division, 34th Division, 35th Division, 36th Division and other troops have rushed to the south bank of the Xiaoling River in Jinzhou, and the 37th, 38th, 39th, 64th, 65th, and 66th Divisions are also about to arrive in Jinzhou. ”
Nie Yuanzheng pondered for a moment and directly ordered: "Order, the 7th Division, the 8th Division, and the 9th Division will immediately launch an attack on Jinzhou on the south bank of the Xiaoling River, and the 34th Division, 35th Division, 36th Division, and the special forces directly under the Third Army Corps will go up the Xiaoling River, bypass the defense line of the Russian coalition army, cross the Xiaoling River, and after going around to the north of Jinzhou, the 34th Division will attack from the north of Jinzhou, and the 35th Division, the 36th Division, and the special forces will rush to the Daling River to seize the pontoon bridge.
The 37th and 38th Divisions were ordered to rush to Jinzhou to join up with the 7th, 8th, and 9th Divisions attacking Jinzhou, and the 39th, 64th, 65th, and 66th Divisions rushed to Songshan, crossed the Xiaoling River in the lower reaches of the Xiaoling River, and then rushed to the Daling River, where they joined the 35th and 36th Divisions, and pursued the Russian coalition forces that had retreated to Shengjing.
The 85th, 86th, and 87th Divisions, as well as the 88th, 89th, and 90th Divisions reorganized from the Northeast Army, were ordered to march from Jinxi County at 8 o'clock in the morning tomorrow and rush to Jinzhou.
The Second Front Army's southward division directly under the Sixth Army Corps, the 82nd Division, the 83rd Division, and the 84th Division were ordered to hold the Puhe defense line north of Shengjing, and it was necessary to ensure that the Russian army in Shengjing would not break through the Puhe River and take a step north. ”
Nie Yuanzheng's words were very slow, and the adjutant had already recorded them, but after the adjutant stopped writing, Nie Yuanzheng asked, "Have you written it down?" ”
The adjutant nodded, "Write it down!" ”
Nie Yuanzheng said: "Repeat. ”
The adjutant read aloud according to the order he had recorded, word for word, before Nie Yuanzheng nodded and said, "Go and send the report." ”
After the adjutant approached the telegraph room, Nie Yuanzheng said directly: "Okay, we should also act, Zilong, you and Chuanfang together led the First Cavalry Regiment under the cavalry brigade to the front line, be sure to rush to the troops when our army crosses the Daling River, exercise the right of field command, Lao Pang and Lao Xiao led the Second Cavalry Regiment to Jinzhou as soon as possible, commanding the troops in Jinzhou, after defeating Jinzhou, the fire rate led the main force to Shengjing, I personally led the divisions directly under the third, fourth, and fifth corps, as well as the 91st and 92nd divisions, The 93rd Division and other troops, together with the logistics team, escorted the baggage and arrived later. ”
Several people stood up at the same time and said in unison: "Yes! ”
The operational disposition of the first main battlefield was soon sent to the military hall by telegram.
After receiving the telegram, Lin Zhengnan, chief of staff, immediately went to the palace to report to Wang Jundao.
Since the Battle of the Northeast began, Wang Jundao would spend most of his time at the military hall staff headquarters every day, and only a small part of the time would he return to the palace.
After listening to Lin Zhengnan's report, Wang Jundao asked, "How is the situation on the second battlefield?" ”
Lin Zhengnan said: "Commander-in-Chief Yang has led his troops to extend the South Manchurian branch of the Middle East Railway to the north, entered the territory of Heilongjiang Province, and has captured Shuangchengzi (Changchun), the main force of the army is less than 100 miles away from Harbin, and the eastward advance of the Third Front Army has also extended the west line of the East China Railway to Saltu Station, which is only more than 300 miles away from Harbin. ”
Wang Jundao raised his eyebrows, Saltu Station, isn't that Daqing City in modern society? This place is China's largest oil field, now the Russians have helped themselves to build the main railway line in the northeast, as long as they will build the railway line from Shanhaiguan to Shengjing, then you can develop the northeast, what Daqing oil field, Jixi coal mine, Hegang coal mine, Anshan iron mine, Benxi iron mine......
After a pause, Wang Jundao calmed down and said, "Where is the main force of the Third Front Army?" ”
Lin Zhengnan said: "The cavalry unit and the iron-blooded cavalry corps of the Fifth Army of the Guards Corps have arrived in Hulunbuyuer (now Hulunbuir), and at most three days, they will be able to rush to and occupy Manchuria. ”
Wang Jundao nodded and said: "Okay, as long as we occupy Manchuria, burn the flames of war into Russia, and then take down the city of Nebuchu and push the troops to the Daxing'an Mountain, we can rely on the Daxing'an Mountain defense line to block the Russian reinforcements from the west and the troops from the Far East, and as long as we take Harbin and occupy Heilongjiang Province, in two or three months, beyond the Heilongjiang River and within the Outer Xing'an Mountains, there will be a land of ice and snow, and in the absence of reinforcements from the Russian west, this vast area will completely become our bag, and wait until May and June of the next year. We have a firm foothold in the northeast, and the railway from Shanhaiguan to Shengjing has been basically completed, relying on the Eastern Railway built by Russia for us and the railway built by Russia in the Far East, the inner part of the Outer Khing'an Mountains will completely become our territory, and the outer Khingan Mountains will be cold all year round, and the transportation is inconvenient, and the Russian whip is beyond the reach, but we can slowly encroach from the south to the north, or in two or three years, the Eastern Siberian Mountains will be ours. ”
Lin Zhengnan said with a smile: "Russia spent a lot of money to build the Trans-Siberian Railway from Heisenwei to the west, and the middle and east roads have just been completed, and they have become our wedding clothes before they are connected to the west road, so we have to thank the Russian Tsar." ”
Wang Jundao smiled: "We have indeed picked up a big bargain, if it is a year and a half late, the Russian Trans-Siberian Railway will be opened to traffic, and at that time we will not be able to take too much advantage from attacking the Russian Far East." ”
The historical Trans-Siberian Railway began to be built from Haisenwei in 1891 to July 13, 1904, when the main line was opened to traffic, during which Russia invested nearly 2 billion rubles, far exceeding Russia's military spending during this period, which can be said to be a bloody investment.
But now, when the Trans-Siberian Railway is about to open to traffic, it has been calculated by Wang Jundao, if Wang Jundao's plan is successful, then Russia has invested a huge amount of money in the construction of railways in the Far East for more than ten years, including the construction of the Eastern Railway, all of which will become a wedding dress, and the Far East will be 'married' to Wang Jundao together.
Thinking of such a situation, Wang Jundao and Lin Zhengnan couldn't help but let out a burst of 'annihilation'.
After a long while, Lin Zhengnan said: "Commander, no accident, within five days, the Russian army entrenched in the northeast will be compressed in the two cities of Harbin and Shengjing, in Harbin, the Russian army only has more than 40,000 people left, while our army has more than 100,000 people, when the time comes, only 10,000 or 20,000 troops need to hold the railway line from Harbin to Haisenwei, and the final general attack on Harbin can be carried out, and in Shengjing, the Russian army together will only have more than 100,000 people, while our army has more than 400,000 people, waiting to launch a general attack. A war can wipe out the last main force of the Russian coalition army, and by then the overall situation in the northeast has been decided, even if there are still two divisions and more than 40,000 troops on the Korean Peninsula and Russia has a group army of nearly 50,000 troops on the Liaodong Peninsula, it will not be able to make waves. ”
Wang Jundao nodded and said, "What do you say will be the result if the Russian Pacific Fleet in Arthur Military Port on the Liaodong Peninsula is destroyed by us?" ”
Lin Zhengnan's heart was shocked, and he said after a long while: "The strength of the Russian detachment in Lushun is not large, only more than 30 warships of various types, while our navy has more than 90 warships of various types, both in terms of number and equipment, they have surpassed the Russian [***] ships, these years, the Russian Navy has not had any major battles, because of the small military investment, and there have been no important exercises, its naval combat capability is very weak, we are fully capable of fighting a decisive battle with it and completely defeating it." ”
Wang Jundao shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, no, it's not a decisive battle, we now have fourteen new ships, although there are no main heavy warships, but no matter the ship's ability, speed, firepower, and communications, they are far superior to the Russian Pacific Fleet stationed in Arthur, and we must give full play to our fleet advantages." ”
Lin Zhengnan asked tentatively, "What does the commander mean?" ”
Wang Jundao thought of the battle of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States in history, and said lightly: "Sneak attack, sneak attack at night!" It is only more than 500 miles from Tianjin to Lushun, and at the speed of a new-type warship, it only takes one night to arrive, and we let the fleet composed of new-type warships depart from Tianjin Military Port before evening, and can arrive at Lushun Military Port before dawn, as long as we let the submarine force reconnoiter in advance and find out the specific situation of the arrival and exit of the fleet in Lushun Military Port, but choose a night, that is, the kind of night when the moon disappears below the sea level two or three hours before dawn, and when the entire ocean is plunged into darkness, At a distance of three to five thousand meters from the Lushun military port, the Russian [***] ships parked in the Tianjin military port launched a fierce artillery bombardment, because it was a dark night, the Russian fleet was bound to dare not leave the port, and when the dawn came, our main fleet arrived, and then ** ten warships of all kinds launched an encirclement attack on the Lushun military port, and the Russian fleet that was still breathing was only afraid that it would be wiped out in the military port, and after the end, let the marines land from the Lushun military port and attack the Russian army entrenched in the Liaodong Peninsula from south to north. Even if the Russian army cannot be completely defeated, it is necessary to drag the Russian army and prevent the Russian army from going north to reinforce Shengjing. ”
When Lin Zhengnan heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, with the current naval artillery power of the naval fleet, and the main attack was sneak attack, he could almost think of the ending of this naval battle, and after a while, he sighed: "Is this the first battle after the combination of the North and South Navy?" ”
Wang Jundao said with a smile: "Of course, if you want to defeat the combined fleet, you must first use the Russian fleet, and it should be regarded as training." ”
Lin Zhengnan smiled bitterly and said: "Then I will first mourn for the Russian Pacific Fleet stationed in Arthur Military Port, but it's a pity for those ships." ”
Wang Jundao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, even if they are sunk, those ships are in Lushun Military Port, and when the naval battle is over, they can be salvaged and reloaded, even if they can't be reloaded, hehe, those important parts on the ship can't run." ”
Lin Zhengnan thought about echoing such a night, and it seemed that it was just a few days ago, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Commander, this is everything has been calculated." ”
Wang Jundao smiled, stretched out his two hands, and said: "The army and navy are like my left and right hands, both are indispensable, we can't let the army stand out, and the navy should also be powerful, okay, you immediately send an order, let Ye Zuqi, Sa Zhenbing, Liu Guanxiong, Li Dingxin, and Huang Zhongying rush back to Yanjing from Tianjin immediately, and I will plan this naval battle well." ”
Lin Zhengnan said: "Yes! ”
Wang Jundao nodded, and continued: "Also, send a telegram to Nie Yuanzheng, Yang Poyu, and Xu Jian, let them speed up the process, within five days, I want to let all the Russian troops in the north be surrounded in Harbin, and the Russian coalition forces in the south will also be all besieged in Shengjing, and the main force of the Third Front Army must occupy Manchuria!" ”
Lin Zhengnan said loudly: "Yes! ”
