The way the battle of Shendanbao ended was almost surprising to everyone, although the army insisted on gathering its forces in the area of Dongtaizi and continued to fight with the Russian army for two days after the brigade headquarters and the Liuhekou defense line were lost, and finally the arms could not twist their thighs, and they were forced to break through in the direction of the waist fort, and were attacked by the Cossack cavalry brigade that had already blocked here, with heavy casualties, and about 1,600 soldiers of the Yue army were surrendered.

Song Biao's Manchurian Infantry Regiment followed all the way to grab the baggage, snatching 20 heavy machine guns alone, 4 31-year-style rapid-fire guns, and the most vicious thing was that they snatched all those war horses.

They started the fastest, occupied Shendanbao Tunzi in the afternoon, and took advantage of the chaos to let Xue Changqing take the brothers of the horse gang to take away all the 6,000 horses and riding equipment first, and send them all the way back to Yangguantun.

The Russian army cares more about heavy machine guns, they have a sufficient number of war horses, coupled with the poor level of intelligence, there is still a bit of special discrimination against the war horses of the army, and General Mishuchenko basically did not see the matter of the Manchurian infantry regiment grabbing war horses.

The 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Yue Army was equipped with a total of 42 heavy machine guns, of which 34 were Makqin machine guns captured by the Yue Army, Song Biao robbed 20 of them, the Sk Infantry Regiment robbed 11 of them, and the rest were mainly on the Dongtaizi position, so it was really not their turn to start.

As for other trophies such as the Thirty-Year Rifle, the Russian army did not want it, but Song Biao did not have too much, and took all that was left, and exchanged a large amount of loot with tens of thousands of rubles in exchange with the Second Siberian Army.

After the battle at Shendanbao, Lieutenant General Kirbas of the Second Army of the Russian Army immediately temporarily relocated his headquarters to Shendanbao, and transferred two additional infantry divisions, one cavalry brigade and more than 100 field artillery pieces to cross the Hunhe River, preparing for a decisive battle with the third and fifth divisions of the Chinese army in an area of 30 kilometers around Shendanbao, and using four times the strength of the opponent to try to encircle and annihilate one of the two divisions, so as to draw a perfect end to the entire Heigoutai Campaign.

Ideas are always beautiful.

Song Biao's Manchurian Infantry Regiment continued to return to the Yujiayao area to garrison, while the Second Infantry Regiment of Ssk was still stationed in Datai Village, and the large force blocking the torrent of the Yue army in front of them was the "outstanding military achievements" of the Third Infantry Division of Siberia.

The situation on the battlefield is always ever-changing, after the fall of Shendanbao, the main force of the Russian army is concentrated in the area of Shendanbao and Heigoutai, with a total of six divisions and two cavalry brigades, the third division of the army is located in Wicker Village, and the fifth division is located in Tong Erbao, which is ten kilometers away from each other, but on these ten kilometers, the Russian army has arranged two divisions.

With the two successive loud fights of the Russian army on the right flank, the command of the Tsarist Far Eastern Army had a premonition that the army was "running out", and the commander-in-chief of Kuropatkin immediately made adjustments, no longer flinching, and asked General Bildringer of the Third Army to send the main force to flank the Third Division of the Third Army, trying to concentrate the elite of the two armies and strangle a small Third Division of the Third Division of the Japanese Army.

General Mishuchenko of the Second Army was responsible for pinning down the Fifth Division so that the main forces of the Russian army would have enough space and time to completely annihilate the Third Division of the Third Division.

War is a special kind of chess game, and if you miss a move, you will be passive.

Dashanyan's preemptive capture of Shendanbao was originally a very delicate move, but unfortunately it was too bad luck, not only losing a main division and one of the most important cavalry brigades, but also trapping the third and fifth divisions into the encirclement of the Russian army.

Before the Third Army of Ximunodian arrived in Liaoyang and the Fifth Army of the Manchurian Army was formed, Dashanyan could not actually mobilize many troops to attack the Russian army, and his countermeasure was to continue to gamble, insert the entire Second Army, and make a posture of fighting to the death with the Third Army of the Russian Far East, forcing General Bilderlinger not to dare to send too many troops to flank the Third Division.

The situation is related to his own fate, and Song Biao has also been studying the changes in the situation, combined with the consistent performance of the entire Russian army in the Russo-Russian War, he has a very bad premonition, that is, the Third Army is likely to retreat.

Suppose that the Third Army suddenly retreats, and the Second Army and the Fourth Army will form a counter-encirclement against the Second Army of Tsarist Russia, which is called a real drama.

Remove.

For the sake of the brethren, it must be withdrawn.

Song Biao knew very well that he was gambling in the two battles of Heigoutai and Shendanbao, 30% was trickery, 50% was luck, and only 20% was strength, and he really wanted to fight a head-on battle with the Yue army, especially in this kind of large-scale legion battle, the probability of him being beaten to pieces was too high.

He is like a gambler, he can bet all in when he has little money, and now he has made two handfuls, and he will definitely accept it when he sees it, and if he continues to gamble, he will only lose his money.

Luck doesn't depend on a lifetime.

Song Biao was fully prepared with both hands, and the priority was to find a way to evacuate the battlefield, and at the same time, he also had to consider dealing with the situation that he could not evacuate.

Just in case, he still surpassed the orders of the Second Army to lay out an extremely strong and complex 1.5-kilometer-long defense line in his front line of Jiangjiayao, and set up a large number of cat's ear holes inside to deal with possible artillery attacks, and the entire defense line was measured and designed by him himself, and then handed over to Hu Dalin's engineer brigade for construction, and at the same time arranged for Major Kornilov and the Russian General Staff Committee to be responsible for the training of the troops.

After that, he quietly returned to Shenyang at night with a team of people, the two places were 35 kilometers apart, and they could run back and forth in one night.

Back in Shenyang, Song Biao went to Yangguantun first.

Lao Jintou and Xue Changqing are both in Yangguantun, which is now completely uninhabited, and the brothers will hoard all kinds of materials captured on the battlefield here, enough for Song Biao to form a division and a cavalry brigade, and there are fourteen three-year-old field artillery guns of the Yue army alone, but unfortunately there are no shells, he still has eight in Jiayao, and there are more than 600 shells retained there, some of which were captured by themselves, and the other part was purchased at a low price with various units of the Russian army.

When he arrived at Yangguantun, Song Biao knew that Lao Guo Tou had actually come.

This is very unusual, Song Biao got off the horse and went directly to the place where Lao Guo Tou lived to find him, he came back in the middle of the night three watches, Lao Guo Tou had already fallen asleep, and was temporarily woken up by the brothers.

As soon as he saw Song Biao, Lao Guo Tou was quite emotional, and said with a smile: "Big boss, I finally see you!" ”

Saying this, Lao Guo Tou prepared to get off the kang.

Song Biao sat cross-legged on the kang, stopped Lao Guo and said: "It's so cold, don't go down to the kang, I'm going to go to the kang now, what's wrong, why do you think of running to Shenyang City to find us?" ”

Lao Guo Tou poured himself a pot of dry tobacco, and while lighting the cigarette, he replied: "Actually, it's nothing, even if you have been gone for a month, there has been no sound, a few days ago, Xue Changqing sent two people back to report, but he didn't say anything famous, I discussed it with Tie Sheng, and I didn't feel at ease, so I came over for a trip to take a look." I really didn't expect that the big boss is the big boss, and he has such a big ability, and he actually reaped such benefits under the noses of the Russians, which is really amazing. ”

He lit a cigarette with a smile, took two puffs, and said, "If we go back and tell the brothers, I don't know how happy the brothers will be!" ”

Song Biao laughed, it just so happened that Zhang Yahu and Li Fugui also came in with the curtain, and they laughed with Lao Guo Tou when they entered the door.

Song Biao asked everyone to sit down, ran all night, the cold wind and snow were blowing, the whole body was going to freeze, the hot kang in Lao Guo Tou's house was hot, just warm, and before Song Biao could say a few more words, Lao Jintou and Xue Changqing also came in, and brought more than a dozen bowls of old ginger tea to the brothers, and a few hot buns and porridge.

Song Biao ate this bite first, and continued with Lao Guo Tou: "Then let the brothers be happier, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, our fort is still safe, is there nothing wrong?" ”

Lao Guo Tou said with a smile: "What can happen, I don't know that our Hunjiang Brigade is actually hiding in the Russian army's big array, but some time ago, two Russian transport teams were taken by Xiao Yueben." I originally thought it was a bandit, and the other party was indeed dressed as a bandit, I thought that the one who dared to do this kind of thing on our territory, and the strength of Guo Siye of the Red Clay Cliff, so I asked someone to ask, only to know that Guo Siye did not have the intention to offend the Russians, he said that he was dressed as a bandit, and he couldn't get along with the Russians in the Hunjiang and Tonghua areas. We are the head snakes of the Hunjiang River, and I thought that we had not taken care of this matter, and sent someone to send us some money, food and silver, saying that as long as we did not care about this matter, they would definitely continue to take care of us. By the way, that military officer named Aoki Xuanchun wrote a letter to you, and I brought it to you too! ”

After saying this, Lao Guo Tou took out the letter that had been hidden several layers from under the pillow and handed it to Song Biao.

Song Biao opened it and took a look, and his first impression was that he felt that Aoki Xuanchun's calligraphy was really beautiful, and the words and sentences were really exquisite.

Song Biao sighed and read the letter carefully, only then did he know that Aoki Xuanchun was lobbying him to personally deal with the Russian convoy passing through the Hunjiang River, and asked him to pay attention to the possibility that the Russian army might send Cossack cavalry to clear the bandits in the Hunjiang and Tonghua areas.

What the fuck.

The Russian army's attempt to clean up the bandits is not just a bad thing provoked by the army.

Song Biao scolded, and the old golden head instructed: "Tomorrow, you will recruit a talented person with profound knowledge in Shenyang City, don't be too old, don't be a rigid elm head, be shrewd, and the calligraphy must be beautiful." Stay with us as a copywriter, and pay him a monthly salary of 30 oceans a month as usual. ”

The old golden head nodded repeatedly, and agreed to this matter.

Song Biao immediately said to everyone: "Xiao Yueben caused a lot of trouble in the area of the Hunjiang River in Tonghua, deliberately pretending to be a bandit, and as a result, the Russian army was annoyed, and I didn't want to send troops to clean up our family's nest. ”

Zhang Yahu said: "Xiao Yue is a frustration, we can kill thousands of them in a sudden burst, and we will continue to fight with them when we return to Yujiayao tomorrow, and then he will be tens of thousands of Xiao Yue Ben frustrations." ”

Song Biao smiled and said, "I'm worried that my brothers think so, we won't win these two times, half by luck, and half by shotguns and machine guns." If you really want to fight hard with Xiao Yueben, our regiment may not be able to beat half of the other team. Gambling is such a principle, if you win two games in a row and earn it, you must learn to build it and collect it, others are gambling with money, we are gambling with the surnames of our brothers, and we can't afford to lose. I thought about it, since the Russian army can't wait to clean up the bandits now, let's take the opportunity to find a way to evacuate the battlefield, we have experienced all these winds and waves, can it still be difficult to fight bandits? ”

Xue Changqing immediately sighed: "The big boss, you are still right, in fact, we are also worried these days, if the Russians really treat us as a good gunman, forcing us to go to the front line and fight hard with Xiao Yueben, I am afraid that we will be greatly injured, it is better to take the opportunity to slip away, after all, we have made a lot of money." ”

Song Biao snorted and said, "This matter is so decided, there is no need to discuss it anymore." I'll go to Brigadier General Madenidóff early tomorrow morning and ask him to help us figure out how to get out. Besides, have we forgotten, our original idea was to sell grain in Shenyang City, and now we have all the things we should have, and the horses are ready-made. There are more than 8,000 horses, one horse and two loads of grain, and we can transport our grain to Shenyang City at one time, and maybe we can go to Huichun and Huinan to buy some grain and sell it. ”

Xue Changqing said with a smile: "That's the reason, but, big boss, the horses we grabbed this time are all good war horses, but they are not necessarily good animals, and they may not be able to save the heavy work, at most, they will let the horses carry hard." Anyway, these horses eat a lot, and they say that they have to eat soy feed when they are fed sperm, and we really want to use them as livestock for the horse gang, which is really a loss-making business. ”

Song Biao smiled and said, "It's to be used for now, and it will be used as a war horse later." We have guns and cannons now, we have everything, but we don't have any money, so we have to find a way to make money. ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone felt that it couldn't be better.

At this time, Lao Guo Tou said: "The big boss, the third child of my family is doing small business in Tonghua City, and he can be regarded as a skilled businessman, since we are going to sell grain in the city, I am thinking about calling him over to give you a hand." ”

Song Biao smiled: "I know how to do business, that's a talent, you hurry up and write a letter and let someone give him a message, I'm in dire need." ”

Lao Guo Tou smiled: "That's okay, I'll find a fellow villager to pass a message to him." ”
