It is very normal for the army to have rubles, it is nothing more than the spoils of war picked up in Liaoyang, and it is more special if it is not registered in the account, it is obvious that the generals of the army are ready to divide it privately, and this kind of thing is normal in all wars.

Song Biao told Zhang Yahu not to make a noise, just continue to lead the team to guard the Nanda Camp, and when he defeated Liumuling, he would turn around and deal with the affairs of the Nanda Camp.

After Zhang Yahu quietly left, Song Biao personally led the team to the front line of Liumuling, as for how much ammunition and silver were stored in the Nanda Battalion, it is not clear now, but Song Biao understands in his heart, in fact, everyone understands in their hearts that there will be absolutely no less.

I am afraid that the army understands better.

At this time, the Liumuling position of the Yue army had been surrounded by Song Biao's Manchurian infantry division on all sides, Colonel Brusilov implemented a blockade on the west and north sides, and Song Biao led the troops to defend the east and south sides, and arranged a battalion of troops in the middle of Shuangshutun to hold on the spot, cutting off the connection between Liumuling and the garrison of the Yue army in Liaoyang.

Liumuling is a big soil slope, only more than 70 meters high relative to the periphery, one kilometer long from north to south, about 400 meters wide from east to west, like this kind of place is generally not called Lingzi in the northeast, but called "Taiwan", similar to this kind of place was basically razed to the ground in the northeast later, engaged in mechanized agriculture.

The most famous is Heigoutai, which Song Biao had seen when he was transferred to the northeast as a soldier, and it had already become a flat wheat field.

Compared with Heigou Terrace, Wangshui Platform and other places, the reason why Liumu Ridge is called a ridge is indeed because it is also more than 70 meters high after all, but in terms of the overall tactical significance, this is not a very good highland, and the main reason is that the slope is too gentle.

After Song Biao arrived, the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments of Seshantinsk arrived one after another, and the whole army quietly began to reorganize, and the army must have known that the Russian army was going to launch a night offensive at night, at least under Song Biao's hands, the Russian army's night offensive was very powerful, and the army had suffered heavy losses last night.

Since they must be prepared, Song Biao did not plan to carry out a covert attack, and directly asked Lieutenant Colonel Padirov's artillery regiment to carry out a covering attack.

In order to cooperate with the large-distance mobile deployment, the Manchurian Infantry Division is equipped with two kinds of artillery, one is the Russian army's M1902 76mm field gun, which is known as the Lucia three-inch field gun, and the other is the M1904 76mm mountain gun, the former is only 16 guns, and the latter's technical parameters are almost the same as the army's 31-year mountain artillery, which is a mountain gun purchased by Russia directly from the French Schneider company, and the number installed in the Russian army is not much.

Due to the large number of captured three-year-old mountain guns and shells, and Lucia's three-inch field artillery was more important, Song Biao only used the Russian army's 76mm mountain artillery for fire suppression this time, because the muzzle velocity of the shells was still lower than the speed of sound, the sound was extremely dull.

Now it is not only necessary to attack the positions of the Yue army, but also to prevent the Yue army from breaking through, before Song Biao arrived, the Russian army had already arranged a dense fire network on the position, and a large number of machine guns were deployed here.

The artillery roared on Liumu Ridge, and Song Biao's memory at this moment seemed to return to the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam that he was not familiar with, and it is said that the artillery fire of the two sides at that time was dense and there was a collision of shells in the sky.

In this short period of tens of seconds, the Russian artillery fire spread out from the forward positions of the Japanese army all the way back, and the distant positions were full of flickering flames from the sound of explosions, covering the entire position one by one.

At the same time as the artillery fire was covered, the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments of Cezandinsk also sent a small advance team to test and reconnoitre, but just as Chen Wu was about to personally lead a company to rush forward first, there was a sudden burst of astonishing "Saipan" cheers on the position of the Yue Army, and a large number of soldiers of the Yue Army rushed all the way down under the leadership of the Wing Banner, and the direction happened to be directed to the left where Song Biao's position was located.

It is said that the army is going to break through in the direction of the Liumugou area!!

Being and von. Major Asker and Chen Wu communicated, and Song Biao, who made them coordinate their advance, was shocked, and immediately pushed Chen Wu and said, "Quick, quickly block me!" ”

Chen Wu was also surprised, he didn't expect that the Yue army would break through at this moment.

At this time, it was too late to inform the artillery regiment to adjust the fire coverage point, and Song Biao immediately asked each company to use mortars to fire emergency flares, and the machine gunners of each company focused on aiming at the past, even if they could not see a specific target, they had to find a suitable direction in the light of artillery fire.

Bang, bang, bang.

A few flares were fired first, and the position on the south side of the Liumu Mountains shone with bursts of brilliant blue light, illuminating the front of the position, and more than a dozen Maxim machine guns and four Hatch Chase machine guns burst out at the same time at this moment.

Da da da .......

When so many machine guns erupted at the same time, this was the only sound that could resound in the world, and all other sounds had been muffled, and the hot trajectory of the bullet line was like countless faint red threads in the blue light.

Dense ammunition was fired on the ground, kicking up thousands of large chunks of dirt mixed with weeds, and the entire position looked like everything was going to be torn apart, and the hundreds of cavalry who charged ahead quickly fell to the ground, and the soldiers who followed them also began to fall like wheat.

No matter how powerful an army or how clever an opponent is, when a battle is fought to this extent, it is so terrifying.

That group of troops was about 200 meters away from Song Biao, heading in different directions, and he couldn't see the specific number of the other side clearly, until more flares were hit in the sky, and the whole position was already as bright as day, Song Biao knew that it was a force of more than 3,000 people, and there were the remnants of an infantry wing, and there were more staff officers in their thirties and forties, as well as transport troops, signal soldiers and the like, and some people didn't even have rifles.

Even though the road they rushed down was already a road to death, they still rushed down without hesitation, and had the resolute will to try to protect the people in the middle, in the middle was a short and fat man holding high the banner of the "Manchurian Army of the Empire", wearing a black military uniform, the years were unforgiving, and the white hair had long been frosty on the sideburns.

Just an old thief-hearted Humpty Dumpty, and just an old samurai who is true to his self-belief and the emperor.

This Liaoyang raid battle was fought to this point, and the commanders of the warring sides probably did not expect it in advance, even if Humpty Dumpty had ten thousand puzzles and confusions, he had to face the reality, the reality was so cruel that he encountered the worst luck.

At least this night, I don't have that super weird luck anymore.

Song Biao suddenly had a mysterious feeling, he was originally ready for battle, and he could only pick up the 03 rifle hanging diagonally on his shoulder, load it, and aim it at the old Humpty Dumpty general named Da Shanyan in the scope.

There were still so many soldiers around the Great Mountain Rock, as if they were going to continue to use the power of the human shield to send the dead fat man and the military flag out, and the flag seemed to be more important to them than anything else.

Da Shanyan's expression was so solemn that it made Song Biao unhappy, but Song Biao still pulled the trigger.

Bang, bang, bang.

Song Biao fired three shots in a row before a bullet shattered Dashanyan's head at this distance, and only hit once of the three bullets, but once hit the brain.

Boom.

This sound was so short, probably in the ears of the dozen generals and staff officers at least the Dazuo level around Da Shanyan, this sound was so long, as if it was as far away as a lifetime.

Dashan Yan, the marshal of the Imperial Army, was said to be "the great mountain of the land and the east of the sea" by himself, and he died like this.

Perhaps he was originally a dead fat man, and when he landed on the Liaodong Peninsula during the First Sino-Japanese War, he couldn't wait to force the locals to learn the Yue language, and wanted to implement the Yue Hua dead fat man on the Liaodong Peninsula.

In short, for Yue himself, Dashanyan is the pride of the god of their nation and the most god of history, because it was this person who led Yue Ben to defeat China and defeat Tsarist Russia, it was this person who opened the precedent of the massacre against China, and it was this person who led Yue Ben to start the first and second steps of the invasion of China.

For Yue himself, Dashan Rock is the national idol of Yuben.

For the Chinese, Dashan Rock is a piece of.

Boom.

Bang Song Biao continued to shoot, and when he found the feeling, he continued to shoot, he didn't even care if these soldiers could break through, he was too lazy to command, he just aimed at everyone he could aim at and kept shooting.

In this way, he inspired the soldiers around him.

At this moment, it is just a matter of shooting.

Even when Song Biao aimed at Aoki Xuanchun, who had just changed the rank of major general, in the ranks of the Yue Army, he did not hesitate to shoot him with one shot, perhaps because of the death of such a person, he lost the intermediary who contacted Yuan Shikai.

Does he still need to see Yuan Shikai's face now?

Song Biao actually doesn't have too much emotion, whether he hates himself or regrets, it doesn't matter, the initial gnashing hatred has become indifferent, as long as the other party is a soldier, his task is to kill as much as possible.

That's all.

As he shot the enemy one after another, Song Biao suddenly had an enlightening inspiration, he thought, if there is a mysterious force in the universe, maybe his super outrageous good luck after the Meiji era is like the universe's punishment for Chinese people who waste their talents, and the universe has been so kind to China but has been ruined too much.

Our nation has wasted too much time, and indeed deserves to be punished by the universe.

Maybe not anymore.

Because of my existence?

Song Biao thought exactly so, and mechanically fired another shot until there was no target to kill on the other side.

What is the most important thing about the royal army of this empire?

There is no doubt that it is a military flag, because it was given by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and a guy like Himunori, who is said to be a god of war, has to repent for losing the military flag of the wing until he commits suicide.

Now, the banner of the Manchurian Army slipped and fell to the ground in front of Song Biao's eyes, covering the corpses all over the place, stained with red blood.

Song Biao looked at all this indifferently, and thought to himself, it's time for Yue himself to know what the real god of war is, he wants to be the real god of war in his life, let him go home collectively to repent, and don't mess with the god position if there is nothing to do.

The battlefield is where anything happens.

The battle was over, and the artillery regiment, which had not received any news, was still there to continue to bombard its position according to the battle plan, and the fire was still burning and flickering on the top of the hillside, and in every moment of light, the corpses that the army had discarded all over the hillside were so obvious.

Song Biao beckoned and put Feng. Major Esker was in charge of clearing the battlefield and had Major Esker put away the flag and the spoils of the mountain rock for him.

For Song Biao, he had more important things to do, such as going to Nanda Camp to find out how much real loot he had gained, and the autopsy was really not in line with his surname.

When Song Biao returned to Nanda Camp with his guard company, Zhang Yahu and Cai Yi were lighting more than a dozen kerosene lamps there to count the currency in a low-key manner, including yuan and road rubles, and the brothers who had the opportunity to be arranged to do this kind of work were naturally the oldest people, especially one of Zhang Yahu's team was recruited in Nandian Tunzi, and they were doing these things.

Seeing Song Biao, everyone immediately stood up and saluted.

Song Biao replied coldly and said, "First of all, I will tell you a good news, the main garrison of the Manchurian Army in Liaoyang has been basically eradicated, and the only thing left at present is the few thousand people left in the county. ”

Zhang Yahu suddenly became excited, and said, "Master, let me solve those people, right?" ”

Song Biao hummed noncommittally, but asked him: "What are you excited about the battle of the Russians?" ”

Zhang Yahu said with a smile: "Kill Xiao Yuebenbei." ”

Song Biao was still quite strange, and said, "It's not good to kill too much!" ”

Zhang Yahu thought about it crookedly, but didn't understand.

Cai Yi, who was lighting the ruble ticket, sighed and said, "Shizuo is really right!" ”

Cai Yi's ideological education work has not yet been completed, and Song Biao is not in a hurry, anyway, he is very long, and he is not afraid that this person will run away, in fact, even if he runs away, it doesn't matter much.

Cai Ye got up again and said: "Master, we have counted it here, and the specific amount is still not clear, but the ruble ticket can already be estimated, and the amount is really a lot, almost six million rubles, and it is 125,000 taels when converted into gold, which is a huge amount of wealth." ”

Song Biao didn't care too much, and said: "Russia has six or seven hundred tons of gold reserves, and 125,000 taels of gold is only 4.5 tons of gold, what kind of huge wealth." Of course, our strength is still relatively weak now, and it is not easy to grab this money from myself. ”

Cai Ye was particularly shocked when he heard this, he really didn't know how high Song Biao's ambition was, and he didn't even take 4.5 tons of gold seriously.

He really doesn't understand Song Biao's heart.

When Song Biao said this, he had already begun to raise the issue of Russia's more than 600 tons of gold reserves, which were transferred to the Far East in the late October Revolution, and were indeed looted by the Japanese army, but they were always declared to be none.

It's really a strange event, but this kind of good thing, Song Biao probably will never leave it to Yue Jun again.

The proceeds of the raid on Liaoyang can be so powerful, Song Biao really didn't expect it before, he estimated that he could have a basic amount of 20 million yuan, and the extra 10 million rubles were purely ill-gotten gains.

As for the amount of ammunition hoarded by the army in Liaoyang, it must definitely not be less, at least the batch of munitions and materials left by the Russian army's rout at that time was a very staggering amount, plus the army's own reserves, the total amount should be amazing, right?

It's a pity that it's dark, and there is no way to do a detailed inventory, and the only thing that needs to be urgently counted is real money and banknotes.

Although there are still important things to do, it is also very important to count the money.

Song Biao didn't go anywhere, closed the door and counted the specific amount with the brothers in the courtyard, and the treasury of the army had a silver dollar and a yuan, which were two concepts of currency, the former was the silver standard, and the latter was the gold standard.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, with the support of the huge indemnity payments from the Qing government, the company briefly adopted a simple gold standard, but soon due to the economic crisis caused by the Coolidge boom (loose money supply boom), he was forced to re-print silver yuan on a large scale in Meiji 34.

The shrewdness and cunning of the book was that it adopted a false gold standard in response to the weakness of the national power, using the gold standard for foreign countries and the European and American powers, and the silver standard for domestic and Asian powers, until the end of the First World War, when the company became a creditor country and embarked on the real gold standard.

It is said that the original silver dollar is still used in China, and its yuan banknotes are called principal yuan coupons, that is, corresponding to gold, each principal yuan coupon is exchanged for 0.75 grams of gold, about 1/10 pound, or 1/2 US dollar.

Therefore, half of the "wartime allowances" in the military salary reserve in the general affairs treasury area of the Manchurian Army are silver yuan, and half of the yuan is yuan, and this makes the liquidation work even more onerous.

Because it is allocated by the military headquarters, it is a small version of the 36-year system of the whole batch, and the printing and casting process is very sophisticated, each weighing 26.96 grams, with a silver content of 90%, and the fineness is extremely uniform.

This kind of small version of the silver round is called the dragon ocean, or the Oriental ocean, it is not easy to calculate in the country, we generally say that the foreign yuan and silver round in China are Mexican silver dollars, this silver round is exactly equivalent to 0.75 taels of Qing political axe Kuping silver, three eagle oceans for two taels of Kuping silver, and this small version of Longyang is about 0.65 taels of Qing Zheng axe Kuping silver.

A round is about 1.4286 taels of Qing political axe Kuping silver.

Cai Yi has lived in this book, he is very familiar with this kind of exchange between the yuan and the silver yuan, generally in the book is 2.2 silver yuan in exchange for a principal coupon, however, the use of the principal yuan coupon in the book is very rare, almost invisible.

More than 60 people counted here, and it took two full hours to finally calculate the specific amount, and the total amount of the captured part of the army's military salary was about 21.58 million yuan, and the more than 20 million small Meiji 36-year silver yuan of the army were beautifully printed, but they were still far less valuable than the gold yuan coupons.

After the counting, Song Biao asked Li Dayun to put away the ruble tickets and the principal yuan coupons first, and the remaining silver yuan continued to stay in the treasury, which was still guarded by Zhang Yahu's Nandian company.

This money must be too important to Song Biao, he knows that if he can defeat the counterattack of the Yue army and finally defeat the Yue army, his future will no longer be as simple as the commander of a small Jilin left road battalion of the Qing political axe.

It's hard to say a word, even if he is willing to take an errand in the Qing political axe, he has to see how high the price of the Qing political axe can afford, if the price is low, he will lead a large army of sixty or seventy thousand to dominate the northeast, and I don't know where the last face of the Qing Dynasty will go.
