Dalian, May 20, 1902. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It seems that the war did not have any impact on the city, the factories worked overtime day and night as in the past, the war did not have any impact on the industrial production of the Northeast, but on the contrary, it played a role in promoting the industrial progress of the Northeast, hundreds of millions of military orders greatly prospered the industrial economy of the Northeast, and not only those large factories benefited from it. Many small enterprises and even family workshops are involved in the production of munitions, and the material needs of millions of troops have been completely transformed into new growth points for the economy of Northeast China.

For the first time in China's history, the war did not destroy the economy of Northeast China, let alone drag it down, but promoted economic development, and to a certain extent, it even marked a break with the tradition of Northeast China.

Ten years of reincarnation, and now the Northeast is telling the world with its own guns, this fact.

Tang Haoran, who first entered the Northeast ten years ago, was just a local powerful faction born in a fledgling family, but now he and his Northeast Army are influencing the situation in the Far East and even the situation in the world. Now that the Northeast Army has made a near-perfect detour in Transbaikal, with nearly 600,000 Russian troops encircled in the encirclement, the only question for them now is when to tighten the encirclement.

The world is watching the Northeast!

Watching when the Northeast tightens that encirclement, and then annihilates half of the Russian army and the post-Baikal wasteland, this is a fateful battle.

It is perfectly clear to anyone that this may even determine the fate of Russia in this war, of course, only on the land battlefield, in fact the war is fraught with too many contingencies, like this one in Trans-Baikal.

Before the war was not over. No one knows what kind of way the war conference will continue to evolve.

For Tang Hao, the governor of the three eastern provinces, it seems that the war has always been under his control, and it has always been carried out according to the original plan.

The Operational Map Room of the Governor's Palace is a military institution within the Governor's Palace, and most of the officers here are young staff officers, as well as young people who have graduated from the Army and Navy Academies, and these young people are more receptive to new things than the elderly. Moreover, entering the Governor's Palace as a staff officer is a reward to a certain extent, and only a very small number of the best young officers, as well as dozens of outstanding graduates of the army and naval colonels, have the opportunity to enter the Presidential Palace to become the Governor's staff officer, which will undoubtedly benefit his future promotion.

Among these young attendant staff officers, Cai Ye is undoubtedly one of the others, she was not born in the Northeast Army Military Academy, and he is not even a professional officer. Before he became an officer, he was only a teaching assistant at Northeastern University, but now he is a staff officer of the Governor's Palace, an attendant officer at the headquarters himself, and of course only one of them.

"With the smooth development of the plan, our army is forming an encirclement of the Russian army from three directions, east, west and south,"

It's certainly not a three-in-one. In fact, this is just a geographical advantage. Surrounded by the Russians with limited forces, the only way for the Russian Far Eastern Army is now in the north, but to the north is an endless primeval forest, for thousands or even tens of thousands of troops. The forests of Siberia may be a way of life, but for the nearly 600,000 troops of the Far East, it is a dead end. In addition to the dense primeval forests, there are only some villages or small cities scattered among them with a population of several hundred or even more than a thousand, and it is precisely for this reason that for the Northeast Army, Siberia has become an encirclement, helping them to form a natural encirclement against the Far Eastern Army.

Now that Cai was reporting on the plan submitted by the commander of the Mongolian Front to the General Staff for a large-scale breach of diplomatic relations, as a university teaching assistant, he spoke loudly and in a subdued voice, and the content of his speech was well organized and detailed, far better than the unchanging dull rhythm of the others, which gave everyone in the meeting the energy to maintain a state of distancing themselves from the sleepy insects.

“…… In order to block Russian reinforcements in the Far East, we plan to form three main sabotage groups and several sabotage detachments on a 1,000-kilometer front, to carry out extensive destruction of the railway line between Irkutsk and Yekaterinburg, each sabotage group consists of a cavalry brigade and a reserve cavalry brigade, reinforced by a cavalry engineer battalion and an independent cavalry artillery battalion, with a total strength of 13,800 men, carrying supplies that are 200 to 300 kilometers deep into the enemy's territory and completely destroying 10 to 20 kilometers of railway lines. The sabotage detachment is formed by units below the cavalry regiment level, and cooperates with the sabotage group to carry out small-scale operations, mainly used to raid key sections of the enemy's railway line, such as bridges, tunnels, stations, etc...... A full-scale offensive will be launched between 20 and 30 May, depending on the situation, and it is estimated that the first round of operations will be completed within a week......"

The sabotage operation carried out by the Russian rear was part of the whole plan, and as early as before the war, the Northeast sent a large number of spies and officers to make staff trips to the vicinity of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and knew no worse about that area than the Russians.

The reason why it is now proposed to send troops alone deep into the Russian hinterland is solely because from Irkutsk to the east of the Ural Mountains, there are almost no Russian troops from the formation, so to speak, there is no one to stop their offensive, and for them all they need is to destroy the railway, and then quickly retreat. Its purpose was only to prevent Russian reinforcements to the Far East.

Staring at the symbols and arrows on the map board seriously, nodding frequently, after listening to the report, Tang Haoran simply instructed:

"Call back to the Mongolian group and agree with the battle plan he proposed, but there must be no further delay in the start of the operation."

The young staff officer on the side immediately prepared a telegram and handed it to another person to go out to the telegraph room next door.

The so-called decision-making is not really a mysterious and complicated thing, sometimes it is just a matter of choosing between agreeing or rejecting one of the two intentions.

"I think you can think about it, the special operation behind the enemy line, don't be so conservative, you can consider sending commandos to go deep behind the enemy line for thousands of kilometers to destroy the railway bridge and destroy the railway. After all, this is an opportunity, a rare opportunity to train soldiers! ”

In the assault on the Twin Cities Fortress, the role played by the commandos shocked the army, and now the army has formed its own commando team. Commandos formed by selecting elites on the basis of search companies should not only train on the training ground, but should also be tested in actual combat.

Naturally, no one would object to Tang Haoran's suggestion, and for him, the reason for establishing the attendant staff system was not only to let these young officers give themselves more professional military advice. More importantly, to instill in them a concept, a concept of modernization, and then through the influence of these young officers, to influence the entire Northeast Army, and even the future Chinese army, just like in the past, Tang Haoran constantly instilled in them machine guns, artillery, automobiles, and airships. and even the role of modern military machines such as airplanes being developed.

Even the motorized march of Ulan-Ude was regarded by Tang Haoran as the prototype of the blitzkrieg, and then these young staff officers discussed the way of the future war, and of course, the direction of development.

From cars to armored cars, to real armored fighting vehicles, and even the coordination of armored fighting vehicles with aircraft, in short, through that discussion. Almost all of them established a direction that the war of the future would be a war of armored combat vehicles, as well as aircraft.

Although, for many. It's a bit too sci-fi, but for these staff officers, they see a whole new future.

And this is exactly the purpose of Tang Haoran's establishment of attendant staff officers, to instill ideas in the staff officers, of course, this is just a public heart, but as for selfishness, he wants to use this relatively close way. To control these best young officers, and then to control the army of the future.

"Okay, you go ahead, go back and make a detailed plan for the assault operation!"

After the governor's signal, Cai Ye began a new report, this time about the plan to carry out a war of annihilation against the Russian army in the back of the Gar. Of course, this sentence was their plan without knowing the roots, and now he just repeated it and explained it to the Governor.

“…… It was planned to assemble heavy forces on both flanks, penetrate deep into the enemy's position with swift and powerful attacks, outflank the enemy's flank and rear, and at the same time steadily advance in the center to form a situation of encirclement of the enemy, forcing the enemy to retreat or annihilate one part of it according to the situation. The left flank of the two flanks is the main attack, the right flank is a feint or assist, and the center is an assist, and the number of troops is different, the left flank is composed of all the First Army, with an infantry division of the Fourth Army in the center, and the other two divisions of the Fourth Army on the right flank. All combat units are put into the front line, leaving no reserves of strength, to disintegrate this army, and then turn this army into a decoy that will swallow it only at the most opportune time.

"Agree to the plan, and emphasize another point, pay attention to secrecy, now, the most critical thing is naval warfare."

Tang Haoran immediately issued instructions, the report continued, his orders and instructions also came out one after another, and the core of the war machine had been running like this for several months.

Occasionally, he will turn his attention to Cai Yi, the world makes people, maybe only this sentence can change history, the fate of Cai Ye has changed, he became a teaching assistant at Northeastern University, it seems to be far away from the army, but because he returned from studying abroad, he did not cancel the qualification of the preparatory call-up, so he was accidentally conscripted to the army, when he received the call-up order, as a university teaching assistant, he did not refuse the call-up order, but served in the army as an officer, knowing that he was known by the outside world that he was a university teaching assistant. reported by the newspaper, so that Hao Haoran knew that Cai Yi, a famous figure in modern history, returned to the same place after walking around and became an officer of the Northeast Army. So he directly intervened in this matter, transferred him to the staff room of the attendants, and became his own attendant staff officer.

After mentioning the navy, he just asked about the navy's preparedness, eight seas and thirteen waves, this is the main force of the navy With this fleet, Tang Haoran will never doubt that he will lose the naval battle, not to mention that this fleet still has an absolute lead in technology.

The only thing that worries people is probably the area of engagement chosen by the navy, it can be said that the navy sacrifices its greatest advantage, of course, on the other hand, he later approves of this kind of military adventure, and there are many times, risk, often can change everything, just like this plan made for the navy, at least to catch the Russians by surprise.

And then win this war.

Of course, all of this is just a good thing to think about, what will happen if you lose?

This, of course, is unacceptable.

“…… The main force of the navy on guard in Zhenwan has been carrying out strict practice in artillery skills, and now the navy has extended the combat distance from six kilometers to 12 kilometers, and the hit rate has not changed in any way. ”

To a certain extent, this is a kind of self-confidence, of course, this self-confidence is also based on technology, without the adoption of some new technology, the Northeast Navy's hit rate and engagement distance will not be revolutionized, compared to the Russian Second Pacific Fleet in the Dover incident, it can be said that the hit rate is completely not worth mentioning.

To a large extent, the Northeast needs to thank the United Kingdom, in addition to transferring the most advanced naval technology to the Northeast, the United Kingdom is more like the Northeast to provide a large amount of military intelligence, such as the British Navy's investigation of the Dover incident, that investigation, but in order to avoid a conflict with the British, the Russian army provided all the information without reservation, so that the British team of the Russian Second Pacific Fleet training level, especially the level of gunnery, has a full understanding.

And now, the copy of the investigation report is lying quietly in the safe of the naval staff, if there is anything that surprises the Northeast Navy the most, it is probably the Second Pacific Fleet, the poor frightening hit rate.

"I'm not worried about this, I'm most worried about ...... right now"

Okay, Tang Haoran's words paused, and then he continued.

"After all, if you sail so far, will it have any impact on the officers and soldiers? And there is also the maintenance of warships, which is a problem, and of course, what is more worrying is ......"

After the Zhenyang fleet leaves the base, what will happen to the maritime defense of the Northeast? By that time, how will the threat of the Russian Pacific Fleet be cracked?

After all, there is a possibility that it will break through the mine blockade line on the fifth floor at that time, thinking of this, he thought silently in his heart.

"I really should've done whatever it takes to get rid of the First Pacific Fleet."

But thinking about this, it doesn't make much sense, for Tang Hao, he knows very well that the most important thing now is to solve the Second Taiping Fleet, as for the Northeast...... (To be continued.) )
