Chapter 203: The First Expedition
After the Dingbei Army in Dongning City suffered heavy losses to the two corps of the Russian army and the Russian tank armored division, because of the covering shelling of the tank group of the Dingbei Army by the Russian heavy artillery, and the heavy artillery units of the Dingbei Army had not yet supported it in the back, Jiang Yu, Duan Qirui and Zhang Daxiong decided to end the attack and retreat to Dongning City.
After returning to Dongning City, the three divisions counted and found that nearly 7,000 Russian prisoners were captured, and the number of prisoners killed by the Russian army may be several times the number of prisoners, and the total casualties of the fourth and eleventh divisions of the Northern Army were less than 200 people.
Willistov, commander of the 1st Far Eastern Front, after the tank group of the Dingbei Army was repulsed by his own heavy artillery units, ordered the two corps that had been defeated by the tank group of the Dingbei Army to immediately gather their personnel and count the losses, and at the same time ordered the infantry divisions of the 4th Army and the 9th Army to organize defensive positions on the spot to prevent the Dingbei Army from continuing to attack.
Soon after, Seryosha, the commander of the Russian 25th Army, who was bandaged on his arm, and Aliksey, the commander of the Russian 26th Army, came to the commander Willistov.
1 staff officer of the command of the Russian army is reporting to Willistov on the losses of the tank armored division, "Commander, the losses of the tank armored division have been counted, 82 steam heavy tanks and 84 armored vehicles. In addition, the commander of the tank armored division, Lieutenant General Madedarsky, had already given his life for the Russian Empire. "The tanks and armored vehicles of the Russian army suffered considerable losses under the heavy artillery of their own people. In particular, many of the very slow steam tanks were hit by large-caliber shells, and the losses were almost equal to the number of tanks destroyed by the Dingbei Army.
Willistov listened. Well, the only tank and armored division of the Russian army, before it arrived in Dongning City, it was basically about to be canceled, and there were 18 steam tanks and 16 armored vehicles left in 1 division, which made Willistov feel distressed, and also gave him a headache How to explain to Aleksayev, the governor of the Far East, and the tsar who was far away in St. Petersburg.
At this time, Willistov saw 2 army commanders approaching. He immediately asked, "How are the two of you doing?" ”
The commander of the 26th Army, Alixe, said with a wry smile: "Heavy losses! Now my 3 divisions have closed 1. There are more than 50,000 people, and almost one and a half divisions are gone. It's really miserable, our infantry has no resistance in front of the tank group of the Dingbei Army, this is not a war. This is nothing short of a massacre! ”
The wounded commander of the 25th Army, Seryosha, almost choked up and said: "Our 25th Army is even worse, I have only gathered less than 3,000 people until now, and the three division commanders under me have all been killed, and my 25th Army is finished." ”
Willistov gasped when he heard this, he didn't expect that the losses of the 2 armies would be so big, how long it would take, especially the 25th Army of the vanguard, and there was not one out of ten. The commander of the 9th Army, Gexam, who had been following Willistov's side, exclaimed: "Oh! My God! Together with the losses of tank armored divisions, our 1st Far Eastern Front has already lost almost 4. 50,000 people. We haven't even seen Dongning City yet! Commander, I think we somewhat underestimated the strength of the Dingbei Army, especially the powerful tank forces of the Dingbei Army. Our 1st Far Eastern Front is no longer fit to continue the assault on the city of Dongning. I should immediately retreat back to the Twin Cities. ”
As an experienced commander, Willistov also believed that the 1st Far Eastern Front was no longer suitable for attacking the city of Dongning according to the plan of the Russian Governor of the Far East, Alekseev, so Willistov thought about it for a moment and gave an order, and the rear team became the front team. The whole army withdrew to the Twin Cities.
Willistov decided to report to the Governor-General of the Far East, Alekseev, and after the encounter with the Dingbei Army, he asked for more troops to join his First Far Eastern Front. And he also needed more artillery to have the confidence to deal with the tank group of the Dingbei Army and capture the city of Dongning, which was defended by the Dingbei Army.
As for the tank armored forces, Willistov doesn't have to think about it, the only 1 tank armored division formed by Russia has been lost in his hands, and even if Russia's arsenals in Europe can produce new tanks and armored vehicles, they don't want to ship them to the Far East in a short time.
Russia's Trans-Siberian Railway has not been completely opened to traffic, the tanks and armored vehicles of the Far Eastern Tank and Armored Divisions are transported to the Far East by transport ships, and now Russia's Pacific Fleet is still cowering in the port of Vladivostok, and the sea supremacy of the entire Far East is currently in the hands of the Northeast Navy, and the sea route from Russia's European region to the Far East has been completely cut off.
At the same time as the war between Outer Mongolia and Dongning broke out one after another, nearly 100,000 Russian troops set out from Boli City and crossed the border line of the two countries and launched an attack on Fuyuan City in Heilongjiang.
Nearly 100,000 Russian troops are composed of the Russian 5th Army, the 37th Army and the 38th Army to form the Second Far Eastern Front, with a total of 1 heavy artillery division and 9 infantry divisions, of which the heavy artillery division belongs to the 5th Army. And the commander of the 5th Army, Reseklov, was appointed commander of the 2nd Far Eastern Front by the Governor-General of the Far East, Alekseev.
After the Far Eastern Second Front Army reached the outskirts of Fuyuan City, it launched an attack on the outlying positions set up by the Dingbei Army.
Fuyuan City is defended by the Twelfth Division of the Dingbei Army, the division commander Zhang Zuolin established a large number of reinforced concrete fortifications on the periphery of Fuyuan City, so that the Russian army attacked for several hours, but also did not achieve any results, and lost nearly 3,000 people, the commander Reseklov saw that it was almost dark, so he ordered the Russian army to stop the attack, and the troops were outside Fuyuan City, preparing to continue to attack Fuyuan City tomorrow.
After Lin Daxin received reports on three battlefields in Shenyang, he decided to lead the Guards Division and the Second Division to Dongning City in Heilongjiang the next day, and at the same time Lin Daxin ordered the 13th Division in Harbin to move in the direction of Fuyuan City and prepare to join the 11th Division in Fuyuan City to jointly deal with the Second Front Army in the Russian Far East.
Lin Daxin decided to take the troops to Heilongjiang the next day, so he came to Liu Xiumei's place first in the evening, and said to Liu Xiumei: "I will take the troops to the front line in Heilongjiang tomorrow, and I will be away for this time." If you have anything you need, tell the guards if you are bored. It's okay to go out on the streets, but be sure to be under the protection of the guards. You are now my woman, and I am afraid to deal with my enemies, and there is nothing I can do about it, but I will do it to the people around me. ”
The guards in Liu Xiumei's place of residence have been changed from people from the Military Intelligence Bureau to soldiers of the Guards Division. Lin Daxin led the Guards Division to Heilongjiang, and he would also leave a part of the Guards Division's troops in Shenyang. Protect your family.
Liu Xiumei looked at the man in front of her who forcibly possessed herself, but cared about herself, and still had mixed feelings in her heart, "Then you...... Be careful! ”
Lin Daxin smiled and hugged Liu Xiumei over. took a bite of her cherry, then let go of Liu Xiumei and said, "When I come back, let's fight for three hundred rounds!" Hahaha! ”
After that, Lin Daxin quickly left here and went back to the governor's mansion, where there were still 2 wives waiting for him.
Liu Xiumei looked at Lin Daxin's departing back, and couldn't help laughing and muttering to herself: "What a big pervert, thinking about this kind of thing all day long." ”
When Lin Daxin rushed back to the residence behind the governor's palace, it was already dark, and he was having dinner with his two wives and two sons. He told his two wives that tomorrow he would take his troops to the front line in Heilongjiang.
Ding Xueshan and Du Juan were used to Lin Daxin's days when he often led troops to fight, and the two daughters just told Lin Daxin to be careful when he went to the battlefield. There are still wives and children waiting for him at home!
That night, Lin Daxin decided to comfort the two wives before leaving, so not long after dinner, Lin Daxin asked the servant to take the two sons to sleep, he put one hand around a wife, and walked to the bedroom, and the two daughters have long been accustomed to Lin Daxin's preference to sleep together. Half-pushed, half-pushed, he was hugged by Lin Daxin and entered the bedroom.........
After a fierce battle in bed, the panting Lin Daxin hugged a ruddy-faced wife. Satisfied, he was ready to go to bed, and at this time, Ding Xueshan, who was held in Lin Daxin's arms, suddenly said in a coquettish voice: "Husband, why don't you take that Liu Xiumei to the Governor's Mansion?" You still have to run on both sides. ”
Lin Daxin lost his sleepiness when he heard this, and said embarrassedly: "You guys...... You all know it. Hey, hey, hey. ”
Du Juanjiao said with a smile: "Hehe, husband, our sisters have known for a long time, even that Liu Xiumei, our sisters secretly went to take a look." ”
Ding Xueshan pinched the tender flesh on Lin Daxin's waist with her hand and said: "I said how did you get fascinated by that woman, sure enough, the heavenly fragrance is beautiful, I feel pitiful, hum!" ”
Lin Daxin hurriedly said: "Hehe, that's not as beautiful as my 2 good wives!" ”
Lin Daxin, who was already preparing to sleep, saw that the two wives already knew about Liu Xiumei's storage, so he quickly tried to express himself and pressed the two wives under him again......
Early the next morning, Lin Daxin got up and looked at the two wives who were still asleep, and did not wake them up.
Lin Daxin tiptoed to put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom, and then the two girls who were sleeping opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and sighed at the same time. Although the two women are accustomed to Lin Daxin's frequent expeditions, the guns on the battlefield have no eyes, and every time they go out, they don't worry about it, this is their own husband.
Lin Daxin simply took a bite of breakfast, and when he came to the office in front of the Governor's Palace, Chen Ergou, the commander of the Guards Division, and Wang Hongjun, the commander of the Second Division of the Dingbei Army, were already waiting for Lin Daxin in the office.
After Lin Daxin saw the two people, he asked, "How are the troops preparing for the expedition?" ”
Wang Hongjun said: "Principal, the whole division of the Second Division has been assembled outside Shenyang City, and it can be pulled out and rushed to the front line at any time. ”
Chen Ergou said: "Principal, in addition to leaving 1 infantry brigade to guard Shenyang, the other troops are also ready, and they can follow the principal at any time!" ”
Lin Daxin nodded and said: "Then order the troops to set off immediately and arrive in Dongning City, if it weren't for the fact that our trucks were used to transport supplies to the front line, there would be no way to transport the troops, otherwise it might take 1 day to arrive by truck, and now we have to go for a while!" ”
Then the troops of the Guards Division in the city began to leave the barracks in whole groups and march outside the city of Shenyang.
The residents of Shenyang have already received the news that their soldiers will go to the front line of Heilongjiang today to resist the Russian invaders, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Shenyang have been waiting for the officers and men of the Guards Division on both sides of the road leading from the barracks of the Guards Division to the outside of Shenyang City.
Seeing the officers and men of the Guards Division lined up in a neat line, the common people on both sides of the main road began to continuously deliver the prepared eggs, buns, fruits, and other food items to the officers and men of the Guards Division.
"Big brother, take it and eat, eat more to have the strength to beat Lao Maozi!"
"Brother, this is my family's, the meat buns wrapped early in the morning, you eat more, kill 2 more old hairy people for my brother!"
"Child, this is the eldest mother's own apple, you take it and eat it, the eldest mother's two sons are also Lin Dashuai's soldiers!"
"Uncle, uncle, give you candy to eat, this is bought by Yaya herself with pocket money, it's so sweet, uncle can beat more bad guys after eating sugar!"
Lin Daxin sat in his off-road vehicle, looked at the ordinary people in Shenyang City on both sides of the road outside the car, and couldn't help but sigh and said to Chen Ergou, the commander of the Guards Division sitting in the car: "Ergou, the people of the Northeast are so supportive of us, we must defeat the Russians, but we can't let those old Maozi enter the Northeast and harm our fathers and villagers in the Northeast!" ……
Chen Ergou also said a little excitedly: "Principal, don't worry, as long as there is one person in our Dingbei Army, we will not let Lao Maozi enter our northeast!" ”
Since the common people of the four northeastern provinces knew that Russia had declared war on the Qing Dynasty, it was actually a declaration of war on the four northeastern provinces and coveted the land and wealth of the four northeastern provinces, so they used practical actions to express their anger against the Russians and their support for the Northern Army under Lin Daxin's command.
A large number of young men from Northeast China, accompanied by their families, came to the garrison camps of the Dingbei Army in various places, or to the militia training bases in various places, and asked to join the Dingbei Army to resist the Russian invaders.
Lin Daxin wanted to expand the 20 garrison brigades of the Dingbei Army into 20 B divisions, but as a result, as soon as the militia heard that the garrison brigade was going to be expanded, they asked to join the regular army, and in just a few days, the 20 B divisions were fully established.
In a short period of time, just before the official attack of the Russians, on the basis of a small number of militia units, hundreds of independent garrison regiments and hundreds of independent garrison battalions were established in various parts of the northeastern provinces, and the commanders of these militia units were all officers drawn from the active service of the Dingbei Army, so the training of these militia units was not worse than that of the regular army, as long as the weapons and equipment were allocated in place, this was hundreds of regular regiments and hundreds of regular battalions, which allowed Lin Daxin to have nearly 300,000 troops to guard all parts of the northeast.
This is still Lin Daxin's intention to control the size of his own troops and reduce military spending, otherwise Lin Daxin can turn more than 4 million militiamen in the four northeastern provinces into regular troops at once.
