Chapter Forty-Eight: The Spoils of War Are Abundant

(Summoning the Three Rivers Ticket)

When the morning dawned, at a glance, the entire battlefield was densely covered with the corpses of the Yue army, the scene was terrifying, shocking, people did not dare to look at it again, tens of thousands of lives were cut down on this narrow battlefield, and there were several frozen corpses on almost every inch of land. People couldn't even believe what was happening at dawn, when more than 10,000 soldiers rushed towards them as if they were committing suicide.

Who could have believed that the Yue Army, which was regarded as heroic and good at fighting, would have such a bad moment, losing most of its elite division in a matter of minutes, and in such a stupid way?

The brothers of the Manchurian Infantry Regiment were all very poor, and they didn't even let go of the military boots of the Yue Army, and they collected a little good things together, especially the small items such as kettles and steel lunch boxes were exactly what everyone urgently needed, and the sabers, rifles, and belts were all good things, and they were all scraped clean.

Song Biao's eyes only had machine guns and artillery.

Just a few hours later, all the soldiers on the battlefield were stripped naked, discarded in the pile of corpses, poured tung oil on them and set them on fire.

The billowing smoke lingered on the battlefield, Song Biao indifferently sat in front of a bunker in the military position with a rifle, lit a cigarette for himself, and looked indifferently at the Sumabao area in the distance, where the guns were still roaring, and the battle was still going on.

Li Fugui, the brothers of the horse gang and the guards formed by the Kanto Orion, sat beside Song Biao, and the teams of Hua Leopard and Zhao Tingzhu were also sitting and standing in the surrounding area.

Those Russians still have some status and money, at least they can't afford to compete with the Manchurian infantry regiment for the army's military boots, tents, lunch boxes, etc., the Russians like to ask for the army's saber, especially the general's oriental sword.

The best Oriental sword was grabbed by a recruit of Zhang Yahu's 2nd Infantry Battalion, for which he almost fought with other brothers, and was finally taken by Zhang Yahu and handed over to Song Biao.

As for the corpse of Limi Shangwen, Song Biao didn't have much interest, he didn't care what this gentleman looked like, he just asked people to wrap it in a torn futon alone, and he was going to sell it to him at a good price in the future, so that they could send it to the Yasukuni Shrine for offering.

Before Song Biao's cigarette was finished, Major Kornilov hurriedly ran over with someone to find him.

Seeing Song Biao, Major Kornilov smiled happily: "Song, let's go back to the command post, Your Excellency the General will give you the highest reward!" ”

"Really?"

Song Biao was skeptical, thinking that it was better to get some actual rewards, if it was some kind of bullshit medal or something, then forget it.

He nodded and said, "Then go back to His Excellency General Mishuchenko!" ”

With that, he beckoned, and returned to the position with the garrison squadron that had been following him, anyway, everything that should have been grabbed was almost gone, and the eleven Hatch Chase machine guns that had long been without half a bullet were all his.

Back at the positional command post, still in the slightly cramped bunker, General Mishuchenko was smiling and discussing with several other Russian generals about the decisive surprise battle at dawn.

Their eyebrows fluttered, as if everyone had experienced it in person, and it was more like their merits.

Seeing Song Biao, General Mishuchenko personally stood up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Our senior staff officer has returned triumphantly, and the harvest is not small, right?" Surname? ”

Song Biao smiled and replied: "It's still good, there are a few rapid-fire field guns of the 31-year-old army, but there are not many shells." ”

General Mishuchenko bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "I have asked the adjutant to report to the General Headquarters and praise your Manchurian infantry regiment for its miraculous role, it can be said that you are simply the natural enemy of the Yue army, especially in dealing with the night offensive of the Yue army. I think that after this battle, our experience should be fully disseminated to the entire Far Eastern Army, and if I still think that their offensive at night is invincible, then we will definitely continue to teach them such a fierce lesson. ”

Song Biao responded: "Yes, yes, as long as you find the right method and strategy, the night bayonet offensive of the Yue army is still easy to crack." ”

General Mishuchenko smiled and invited Song Biao to sit down, and said, "I have already made a decision, after the end of this battle, the main spoils of war will belong to your Manchurian infantry regiment." In addition, I would like to continue to keep you involved in the follow-up battles, and I will also send someone to explain to Brigadier General Madenidorff, and before that, I hope to hear your own thoughts. ”

Song Biao thought for a while and said, "After all, our department has just been formed, and it still lacks sufficient training, and only a small part of the force can participate in direct combat. If we continue to stay, our unit can only engage in the construction and transportation of fortifications as much as possible, and it is not appropriate to participate too much in the fighting. ”

General Mishuchenko replied: "You can rest assured that I will definitely pay great attention to the preferential treatment of your department, after all, it has just been formed, and I am not in a hurry to participate in large-scale battles." If you do not exclude, I intend to transfer to you the command of the 2nd Siberian Seudinsk Infantry Regiment, which is mainly composed of hunters from Siberia and Transbaikalia and has a strong ability to fight in the field. ”

Song Biao guessed that General Mishuchenko still intended to play the role of the Manchurian Infantry Regiment, and the transfer of the 2nd Seudinsk Infantry Regiment was also to make up for the lack of combat capability of the Manchurian Infantry Regiment.

After a moment's thought, he nodded in agreement, "It's obviously better this way." ”

General Mishuchenko smiled happily: "That's fine, I was worried that you would leave the front line with your troops immediately." Since you're going to stay and continue to fight with us, let's talk about your thoughts on the next steps? Before you speak, I would like to state that our task is to give priority to the defense of the Shendanbao area, and as for the new forces deployed by the army on the southern line of Sumabao, it is not the direction of our main attack for the time being. ”

Song Biao still didn't know whether the southern front was really the Fifth Division of the Yue Army, the battle map was on the table, he took a closer look, picked up a pencil and drew a circle behind Shen Dan Fort, and said: "Our army should quickly redivide the troops into the north and south lines at present, the southern line is left in the area of Heigoutai, Sumabao and Toupaotun, to increase the construction of fortifications, it is necessary to use a small number of troops and the army to delay for a long time, and the northern line is used as the main force, quickly inserted into the rear of the Shendanbao defense line, and the two infantry divisions deployed by the Second Army in the vicinity of Liutiaokou to encircle Shendan Fort, if you want to capture Shendan Fort, artillery is necessary, which requires the unified deployment of the Second Army. My thinking is still the same, war is always a deception, to let the two infantry divisions at Wicker Pass strengthen the attack, as far as possible on three sides, force the Syrian army forces to disperse, and then bombard the positions of the Yue army with powerful artillery fire, so as to provide cover for our army to send small troops to raid the rear defense of the Yue army. In fact, the layout of the defense line of the Yue army in Shendan Fort is flawed, they have large-scale defense on the north, east and west sides, and the south side mainly relies on a small fort built by local farmers as a defensive fortress. ”

General Mishuchenko was very satisfied with what he heard, he knew that Song Biao, an Asian, was very smart, and he knew the opponent of Yue Jun very well, and he guessed that this was probably the commonality between Asians.

He nodded happily in agreement, and said: "Your idea is very good, then let's do this, I promise, as long as our army takes Shendan Fort, your troops can return to Fengtian City for repairs first." ”

Song Biao felt that this proposal was still very good, because he had little interest in the Russo-Russian War, and no matter what the final outcome was, it would not have a great impact on him.

After the meeting with General Mishuchenko, Song Biao led the team back to the position, and Zhao Tingzhu was responsible for accounting for all the spoils of war, and what should belong to the individual to the individual, and what should belong to the public to the public.

Because the number of items was too large and too messy, it was not until this evening that Zhao Tingzhu submitted the final list to Song Biao, and the harvest was still good, seizing 8 31-year-old rapid-fire field guns, 11 Hatch Chase machine guns, 14,200 30 rifles, 57 British grenades, four crude mortars, 17,500 marching bedding and tents, 22 four-wheeled cargo carts, a total of 357 war horses and horses, and an additional 50,000 yuan and foreign yuan.

The rest of the military boots, lunch boxes, back bags, waist bags and the like are calculated in tens of thousands, and the Russian army is not going to grab these worthless things with them, the Russian army is grabbing sabers and bayonets, about half of which are commemorations, so they captured 14,000 rifles, but there are only more than 5,000 matching bayonets.

General Mishuchenko knew very well that Song Biao's Manchurian Infantry Regiment and the Russians were not of the same mind, and helping the Russians to fight the war was to make profits, although the materials captured by Song Biao were a bit excessive, and almost all of them took all the benefits, and General Mishuchenko did not care.

Guns are a lot, bullets are few, few are pitiful.

The bullets of the 11 Hatch Chase machine guns were all gone, and the Eighth Division also attacked to the point of running out of ammunition and food, so there is such a strong will, it can only be said that the army is really difficult to deal with, if the Russian army is changed, not to mention that it can still charge to the death once, basically not waiting for the army to come, everyone is almost gone.

After reading the list, Song Biao asked Zhao Tingzhu to call the other brothers over, there was nothing new to do at this time, and the people arrived quickly, there were many battalion commanders, team leaders, and squadron leaders, and even the old golden head also came.

Everyone was very happy to see each other, and they were even more excited to see Song Biao.

Two kerosene lamps were lit in the temporary command post, and Song Biao was also in a very good mood, so he asked everyone to sit down with a smile and pass on the list sorted out by Zhao Tingzhu, and every brother took a look.

When you look at the specific number of lists, everyone is even happier.

Xue Changqing couldn't help but admire: "Big boss, we have made a lot of money with such a hand, ordinary Kwantung bandits and horse thieves can no longer keep up with our trip, the number of rifles in our hands alone is close to 20,000, what a big family background, haha!" There is no mountain master on the road in Kanto who can compare with us, isn't it, brothers? ”

"Haha!"

Everyone laughed enthusiastically, Zhang Yahu slapped the table and said to Song Biao: "The big boss, it's still you who are wise and martial, our brothers were originally worried that they would die in battle, but they didn't expect to earn so much, okay." Xiao said, Ben is not very nervous now, let's continue to beat them, beating them is more fucking profitable than fighting the Russians! ”

"Haha, that's it!"

The leopard wiped his sleeves fiercely and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's follow the big boss, then it's not like eating and drinking spicy food, we even killed an old man in the book, that is, the Hunan army, the Huai army of the imperial court, and the new army of Beiyang can withstand our momentum?" ”

Song Biao smiled, anyway, the brothers are happy.

After everyone circulated it around, and finally passed the list back to him, he instructed the old golden head: "Old golden head, you can prepare tonight, reorganize the horse team, and tow all these things we have captured back to Yangguantun tomorrow morning, and find a few warehouses to hoard there." Although these rifles and artillery are not available for ammunition at the moment, they will definitely come in handy in the future. ”

The old golden head smiled: "Okay, I've already started to do things, so many things are piled up here, it's just that our horse team is big, and we can drag it back at one time." ”

Xue Changqing said: "Big boss, we have so many guns, why don't we organize a large team of 20,000 people?" ”

Song Biao shook his head and said, "This morning, General Mishuchenko talked to me, hoping that we would continue to stay and fight with them, I considered it and agreed to the general's suggestion. But then again, this time we were lucky enough to meet a commander who thought he was very smart, if the other party insisted on fighting a positional war with us, and it was our regiment and their army that went head-to-head, without the Russian army rushing to the front as the main force, we wouldn't be able to hold out for even two days. The battle was won, and the things were robbed, but the truth had to be understood. Actually, my idea is to withdraw from the battlefield after fighting the Yue army in Shen Dan Fort, find a way to return to Fengtian City to garrison, and then deal with the bandit troops with peace of mind, and I can't really have a hard encounter with the Yue army. You think, both sides are hundreds of thousands of troops hoarded between Liaoyang and Shenyang City, sooner or later the two sides will break out a large-scale decisive battle, what is the matter with our manpower sandwiched in, we really have to fight hard, we may not even understand how to die. Therefore, this file can only go to Shen Danbao. In this battle of Heigoutai, I believed from the beginning that the army was going to come up and send them to death, which was similar to the situation we encountered in Qiandongling, I just did it more ruthlessly and prepared more fully, but in Shendanbao, the situation was different. ”

Speaking of this, he and Zhang Yahu and Zhao Tingzhu added: "Huzi, Zhuzi, in your two battalions, pick out the bravest and most astute brothers, I want to put together a team, all temporarily put together in my garrison squadron, I think about organizing some small-scale training in these two days, specifically to deal with Shen Danbao." ”

Zhang Yahu nodded and asked, "Big boss, should I go over and deal with Shen Danbao's wave of Xiaoyu Ben together?" ”

Song Biao pondered for a moment and replied: "No, there will be a suitable arrangement at that time, we used to wait for them to die by themselves, the situation in Shen Danbao is quite special, I have a new way!" ”

Hearing him say this, everyone was very happy.

Since following Song Biao, the Song family army has really made a fortune from Dongling all the way to Heigoutai, which has helped the Russian army destroy an elite division of the army, but these leaders here still don't understand what's going on, if you want to talk about the thresholds in the war, they haven't figured it out, so they followed Song Biao to make a fortune.

Xue Changqing asked Song Biao: "Big boss, I also have more than a dozen brothers here who are really capable of fighting, and their skills are enough, why don't you also make up a whole number together?" ”

Song Biao thought for a while and said, "Okay, just fight if you can." ”

After a pause, he added to the brothers: "Except for the engineer battalion, which will continue to build the defensive line, the other teams should have nothing to do in the past two days, so we should hurry up and put things in order, teach the brothers to continue to play marksmanship during the day, and at night, you will come and follow me to participate in the drill and training." ”

Everyone felt good when they heard this, and they all agreed to it, and they were all looking forward to it.
