Zhao Hongsheng was known as Lao Zhao Tou in the Independent Regiment, and although he was the commander of the baggage battalion officially appointed by Lu Shan, few people took him seriously. In particular, the officers of the Mengshan Army who came from Shandong were a little less approving of Lushan's use of a gang leader who was over fifty years old. Fortunately, Lao Zhao has a good temperament and manages logistics well, so the officers and soldiers of the baggage battalion can basically abide by the orders of this old officer who is old enough to be his father.

Now, Zhao Hongsheng is walking in the direction of Mukden with the wounded number and escorting the trophies, and his task is to send the wounded to the Russian army's hospital in Mukden, and by the way, to send the Japanese weapons captured in the First World War of Heigoutai to Sujiatun in the northern suburbs of Mukden. It used to be the base for the independent regiment to rest and train, and now there are still hundreds of people left, some of them recruits, and many more of them are wounded in the battle of Chen's shack.

Leading the team was Deputy Chief of Staff Shang Fengchun. The relevant tasks Lu Shan has been handed over to Shang Fengchun, and Zhao Hongsheng's task is only to place the wounded properly and send the loot to the base, and the other is to try to fool as many young people as possible to join the army.

The regiment did not have its own hospital, and there were only five official doctors, two of whom came from Guannai, two were recruited from Mukden, and one was a Russian military doctor. The rest are dozens of medical and nursing soldiers who have undergone preliminary training in hemostasis and bandaging, and their divisions are in more than 20 combat companies, and they can only do the simplest bandaging and rescue, and then send them to the regimental hospital for further treatment. In the bloody battle the night before yesterday, a large number of wounded people filled the makeshift hospital, and at least 100 wounded soldiers were sent down from the firing line to die in the hospital. He said to Lu Shan. I'm going to have to find a few more doctors anyway. Lu Shan recognized it and handed it over to him to do this by the way. Although Fengtian is the largest city in the eastern part of the country, there are very few real Western medicines, and there is a shortage of Western medicines, which are all controlled by the Russian army as first-class military supplies. The medicine of the independent regiment was received from the Russian army, and it was always not enough, so Lu Shan asked him to buy some from the black market.

Along the way, he wanted to talk to the deputy chief of staff, but he kept his face stiff. A preoccupied look. He mentioned a few words, but no one paid attention to them, and Lao Zhao was not angry.

In the independent regiment, Lao Zhao felt that Lu Da was majestic. But good to talk to. Respect and trust him too. Deputy Head Fan is hip-hop and hip-hop. The best. Only Chief of Staff Deng and this new deputy chief of staff are difficult to get along with, probably they are all capable people who have studied and seen the world. Look down on a rough man like him.

The caravan brothers who followed him to join the Independent Regiment all felt the same way.

Shang Fengchun does have something on his mind. He is a disciple of Zhangqian Village, and he is a bit of a bend with Shen Wuxi, the owner of Zhangqian Village, and he still has some concerns when Shen Wuxian persuades him to join the Mengshan Army, lest he miss his future. It wasn't until the Mengshan Army successively defeated the advance of the official army that forced the government to take the initiative to send people to surrender, and after Shen Wuzhi agreed, he made up his mind to join the army, but did not go north with the main force to Qinwang, but stayed in the base area as a cultural instructor. Later, he entered the Suiying Military Academy, stayed in the school to teach after graduation, and was recommended by Situ Jun to enter the staff office as an operational staff officer half a year later, and then because he loved Go, he became Commander Long's chess friend, and after working in the staff office for more than half a year, he was transferred to the field force in charge of staff business, and then he was selected and transferred to the northeast.

Four years after joining the Mengshan Army, Shang Fengchun had already abandoned his dream in Java. That dream was just the only way for Han intellectuals under Manchu rule to embark on a career in official ranks, the imperial examination. What Mengshan Jun taught him was not only military knowledge, but also deeper things, which greatly broadened his horizons and re-established his life goals.

When he left Shandong for the Northeast, he was Fang Shengyuan's proud disciple, although he was not under the direct leadership of Fang Gaoshen. Fang Shengyuan planned to establish a secret organization in the army, and he was one of the enthusiastic responders. He firmly believed that such an organization must be established to organize a large number of officers who supported Commander Dai Long's seizure of the country. But by the time he left Shandong, the organization to which he had devoted great energy had not yet been established due to Long Qian's undecided determination.

Long Qian didn't know before he laid out the Kanto Shang Fengchun. His rank is too low to have access to this core secret of the Mengshan Army. It was just that the rumors that were boiling at the time of the establishment of the Fifth Town puzzled him, and he didn't believe that Lu Shan and the others would defect en masse and escape without a trace. This matter is too strange, and there are too many doubts about the ability of the incident. It was not until he was officially selected to lead the fourth detachment to aid the Kanto region that the situation in the Kanto region was fully known. I can't help but feel great admiration for Commander Long, this is the magnanimity to seize the world. It's the same as playing Go, one eye is not a live game, and if you want to do a job, you need at least two eyes. Kanto is the second eye of the commander.

Regarding the instructions of the Guandong team, Long Qian explained to him in detail with Fang Gaoshen, Chief of Staff Situ and others before he left. His new post was confirmed in Shandong, and Situ Jun believed that he was an excellent candidate for chief of staff and had a keen sense of combat.

Shang Fengchun arrived in the Kanto region, and with the assistance of the intelligence department, he successfully found the troops, and only then did he truly understand the situation of the Guandong team under the command of Lu Shan, who had already gained a foothold and were more powerful than the commander introduced. However, the subsequent series of actions seemed to deviate from the path prescribed by the commander, and Lu Shan was eager to prove his strength, tracking down and annihilating the Naganuma troops, fighting to the death; Guarding Heigoutai made the troops hurt again! Helping Russia to resist Japan is the commander's established strategy, but it is by no means selling his life for the Russians! Looking at the list of officers and soldiers who died in battle, the casualties of the officers are heart-wrenching, these are the backbones who have sneaked all the way from the pass to here, many of them are the cadets he taught at the military academy in the camp, and they are considered his students, but they died in Heigoutai and Chen's shack for the benefit of the Russians!

At last night's post-war analysis meeting, Lu Shan proposed a plan to march to Shendanbao after a short break and capture Shendanbao, but Shang Fengchun immediately opposed it. Heigoutai is the defending side, with excellent weapons, sufficient ammunition and strong fortifications, but still caused so many casualties. But what about Shen Danbao? That's a change of offense and defense! According to what Lu Shan said, the first cavalry brigade of Akiyama Yoshigu is the elite of the Japanese army, and Akiyama Yoshigu is the father of the Japanese cavalry and is known as a famous general. It is also said that he also has a younger brother Mayuki Akiyama, who is a senior staff officer in the Japanese Navy, and is the brains of the Combined Fleet. Brave soldiers! A hard bone that two Russian infantry divisions could not gnaw on. Do you want to let the broken independent regiment attack the fortification? What intentions? Do you want to lose all the money that the commander has worked so hard to gather?

At last night's summary meeting, the next step was discussed, and Shang Fengchun clearly opposed Lu Shan's decision.

But his objection was rejected by Lu Shan, "The rules of the Mengshan army allow different ideas, but not different actions!" You can escalate to headquarters, but decisions must be implemented. ”

At the meeting, Fan Deping was hesitant, but Deng Qinghua and several battalion commanders agreed with Lushan's decision to continue fighting. Especially Sheng Guang.

"Of course I'm going to report back to headquarters." He was unwilling to give in.

If we continue to fight, we will definitely get greater support from the Russian army. But it was the muscles and bones of the Mengshan Army that were damaged!

So, he was sent to lead most of the baggage battalion to escort the wounded, escort supplies to Sujiatun, and received the task of recruiting soldiers and buying food. It's not a task that can be done right away. Apparently. Lu Shan did not want to have different voices in his headquarters. In this way, he left the front with the baggage battalion.

Why do you want to set up an organization within the military? It is to maintain Long Qian's absolute authority in the Mengshan Army! Mr. Fang's opinion is right, the earliest generals who followed Long Qian are all Long Qian's henchmen. In fact, their respect for Long Qian is far less than that of later people.

"Another big man with the same qualifications as him must be sent to Kanto!" Shang Fengchun thought that from the overall situation, Wang Mingyuan or Feng Guozhu should be sent to Guandong, anyway, the situation in Guandong was relatively stable. Fan Deping and Deng Qinghua are not enough to balance Lu Shan! In the current situation of isolation between the two places, the development and growth of the Kanto team is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, and it is easy to form a situation where the tail is too big to fall!

The large convoy showed the certificate issued by the Russian army headquarters and smoothly entered Mukden. The streets were deserted, and I don't know if the news of the victory of Heigoutai had reached Mukden, but the common people seemed to be more looking forward to the Japanese army driving the Russian army away. The commander is right, both the Russians and the Japanese are China's great enemies, and whoever wins is not a good thing for China. It's a pity that the people don't understand this......

"Deputy Chief of Staff, the people from the Fengtian Governor's Yamen want to see our Supreme Commander." Zhao Hongsheng interrupted Shang Fengchun's thoughts.

"Who? Mukden Governor? Shang Fengchun was a little surprised, "Hasn't the Fengtian Governor withdrawn yet?" ”

At a time when Japan and Russia are tense, the imperial court is simply unscrupulous in carrying out political reform in the Kanto! Is there a fart for setting up the Fengtian Governor? I'm afraid that the decree can't even be issued by Mukden, and now that Mukden is completely under the military jurisdiction of the Russian army, he thought that the governor of Mukden had already left Mukden and went north, but he didn't expect him to leave.

Seeing Tang Shaoyi wearing a Manchu official uniform, Shang Fengchun was shocked. He had seen Tang Shaoyi when he came to Zhangqian Village, but he had just joined the army at that time, and it was estimated that Tang Shaoyi would not recognize him.

"I am Shang Fengchun, deputy chief of staff of the South Manchurian Independent Regiment, dare to ask Tang Futai what advice he has?" Shang Fengchun did not salute according to the etiquette of the imperial court, but saluted Tang Shaoyi with a military salute of the Mengshan Army.

"I heard that the Russians defeated the Japanese in Heigoutai, but is it true?" Tang Shaoyi listened to the familiar Shandong accent and felt a little cordial. The young man in front of him in a Russian military uniform turned out to be the deputy chief of staff of the South Manchurian Independent Regiment...... It just so happened that I had the opportunity to get to know this well-known Chinese army in person.

"Of course. The battle was fought by our troops, and the Japanese army was strewn with corpses, and its 8th Division was actually annihilated. ”

"Oh?" Tang Shaoyi was originally going to move out of the city and move to the west bank of the Liao River, which was a non-belligerent zone designated by the imperial court. However, due to various reasons, it has been delayed so far, one of which is to follow Yuan Shikai's instructions and try to help the Japanese win this battle. This news is obviously not what Tang Shaoyi wants to hear.

"I have long heard that there is a South Manchurian detachment that is willing to drive for the Russian army, but I didn't expect to meet Lu here," Tang Shaoyi glanced at the large convoy that could not be seen at a glance, "Where is the supreme commander of your department?" He didn't quite believe Shang Fengchun's words, but the battle of the Chen family's shack was real, and even the Japanese spies who secretly entered Mukden to contact him to obtain information on the Russian army confirmed this, hoping that he would find out where this mysterious army came from through the official connections of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"Captain Lu is in Heigoutai."

"Who is this Captain Lu? Is it also my Kanto person? Why die for the Russians? ”

"I can't answer that."

"Oh? Are you from Shandong? Why did you come to Kanto? ”

"I don't know how many Shandong people have broken into the eastern part of the country, and I am just one of them. My lord asked why I came to Kanto, and if Kannai lived, do you think I would give up my family and business to come here to be born and die? ”

"Listen to your tone, you've read a book." Tang Shaoyi muttered, "This official also served in Shandong, and now Shandong is thriving, and even the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are running to Shandong, how can they not have enough to eat?" Why did you leave Shandong? ”

"Ha Luha, I broke into Kanto seven years ago, who knows the current situation in my hometown? If the adults are fine, I will forgive my military orders and I will not be able to accompany them. Shang Fengchun knew that the Mengshan Army's dispatch of troops to the eastern part of the country was a top secret, and he must not let this Manchu official, who had some connections with the Mengshan Army, smell something, "Brothers, go." Shang Fengchun turned over and got on his horse.

Zhao Hongsheng shouted, and the convoy continued to move forward.

Tang Shaoyi ignored the angry eyes of his subordinates, and thought in his heart, "Mr. Shang, don't forget that you are Chinese. ”

"Thank you for reminding me, Shang will not dare to forget it." Shang Fengchun turned around and shouted on his horse. (To be continued......)
