Mr. Hamilton and Hauffman held a meeting with Yang Xiaolin as representatives of the military observers, and Mark was responsible for the translation between them.

These people came to Yang Xiaolin mainly to determine what kind of way this beast who was still a bandit in their eyes would eventually treat them. At the same time, if it is safe to do so, they hope to get more freedom, such as going around other places in the base area and going to Yang Xiaolin's arsenal.

Yang Xiaolin first promised them that he had no ill will towards the non-combatants on the battlefield, and as long as they did not cause trouble to themselves, he would never do anything to harm them.

It seems a bit funny to others to make such a promise to these after Yang Dagui killed so many unarmed Japanese, but these European gentlemen believed what Yang Xiaolin said, because they knew very well in their hearts that Yang Xiaolin Weishenme wanted to kill the Japanese.

They proposed to go to other places to see, to see the factories of the volunteers, and Yang Xiaolin also agreed, but what kind of arsenal to see, Yang Xiaolin's consent must be obtained first.

There are some things that need to be kept secret in the base area, and I dare not say anything else, the jishu that they manufacture mines and grenades is definitely the leading one in this era, as well as those sniper rifles that have not yet attracted the attention of others, and the process of production and development of these weapons must not be leaked.

Others could be taken a look at by these Europeans.

Two days later, Shi Xiaowu was in charge of taking these European military observers to observe the production line of light machine guns of the Volunteers. There are also production lines for semi-automatic rifles. and the process of making the cannon without conscience.

Mr. Hauffman and his family have a very strong interest in explosives packs, and before they came to Northeast China, they never thought that the power of dynamite after tying them up with strips of cloth would be so great, and it was not inferior to the power of the shells made of steel by foreigners.

So they all offered to see how the explosives bags were bundled up.

After Shi Xiaowu asked for instructions, he took them to a workshop on the edge of Liaoping City that specialized in bundling explosives. There are more than 100 women in this workshop who are doing this kind of work, and they are also using the assembly line operation method, more than 100 people, and they can bundle 300 explosives bags a day.

Mr. Hao Fuman carefully looked at the process one by one, and he found that there was no high jishu content in it, and the most difficult thing was the zuihou procedure. Wrap the explosives tightly with silk thread.

This requires a lot of strength on the part of the person who is being bound. The method now used in the base area is to work together with two women, one person pulling the other, and using two people's liliang to ensure that the silk thread is stretched to the maximum limit.

The closer you get, the more powerful it will explode.

When Shi Xiaowu accompanied Mr. Hao Fuman here. The two girls had just tied one up, which obviously took a lot of their physical strength, and both of their faces were slightly reddened, and one of the girls began to gasp.

Hauffman picked up the explosives bag, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and exchanged something with a few people next to him.

Shi Xiaowu didn't stop him, at this time, the girl who bundled the explosives bag glanced at Shi Xiaowu, and suddenly asked: "Company commander, may I ask if you are from the fourth regiment and one battalion?" ”

Shi Xiaowu's eyes looked at the girl and nodded: "Yes." ”

There was a sudden look of shyness on the girl's face. His hands were very cramped and rubbed the corners of his clothes: "Then I want to ask you about someone?" ”

The muscles on Shi Xiaowu's face trembled, he was most afraid of others asking him.

Although he didn't speak, the woman still asked, "There is a squad leader in the second company of your battalion, named Song Jifa, do you know him?" ”…,

The two sides of Shi Xiaowu's mouth were tightly bitten together, and he tried his best to control his eye sockets, not letting the things that were holding in them come out, and spit out a sentence from between his lips and teeth: "Know." Who are you? ”

The eldest girl's expression became very twisted at this moment, but it revealed great excitement: "I, I'm not him...... It's just that. Just wanted to ask why I haven't seen him in the past few days......"

A woman next to her said loudly: "Company commander, you go back and tell Xiao Song, just say that Erya is waiting for him by the river, waiting every day!" ”

The women in the room were daxiao, and the faces of the two girls were like ripe apples and smiled. With a happy smile, he caught up with the woman and punched her hard.

Shi Xiaowu couldn't laugh at all. He took out a very short Japanese knife from his bosom and handed it to the second girl: "This is what he gave you, and he gave it to you from the hand of the commander of the Japanese brigade." ”

Er Ya took the knife, she saw that the corner of Shi Xiaowu's eyes was actually overflowing with a tear, and at that moment, the smile froze on her face, and Er Ya's hands trembled a little: "What about others?" ”

Shi Xiaowu turned his head and dropped a sentence: "Don't wait for him." ”

He didn't dare to look at Erya's eyes, let alone stay to see how this woman Zuihou would react, and after saying this, he walked out of the workshop, and there was a crying sound behind him.

A few European military observers were not yet optimistic, but the sudden change in the atmosphere made them understand that they could not stay any longer. Hao Fuman wanted to be a gentleman and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears of the Chinese girl, but Mark pulled him out.

Shi Xiaowu, who walked out of here first, had already returned to his normal expression, and that serious face was on his face again. Shi Xiaowu had already received an order to be ready to fight at any time, and he knew that he was a soldier and a company commander. If you want to be worthy of those brothers who died in battle, the best way is to continue fighting, instead of lying on the graves of those brothers and crying.

Mark told Hao Fuman what had just happened, and these European gentlemen were a little emotional, and the French military observer, who had always liked romance, said: "This is really a poignant aiqing, aiqing on the battlefield, I really didn't expect such a romantic thing to happen to the Qing Dynasty." ”

Mark glared fiercely, "Come on, sir." Don't take other people's grief as romantic! You should be able to see it these days. Yang beats ghosts, and the people here are no different from us! ”

"No, we are civilized people, and they are beasts! That's never going to change, and that's the biggest difference between us and them. They are not civilized, and what they do is kidnapping and murder. ”

Mr. Hao Fuman of Germany glanced at Shi Xiaowu out of the corner of his eye, and stepped forward to grab the Frenchman's collar: "Listen bastard, you'd better keep your mouth shut!" ”

"I'm telling the truth!"

"Everyone knows what the truth is! Maybe you can continue to be a civilized person when you France are forced to sign one agreement after another like the Treaty of Gengzi, but if we Germany are treated like the Manchus, I will be like Yang Da Ghost and be a beast. Kill them all! ”

The Earl of Hamilton hurriedly came over and pushed the two of them away: "Alright! Don't quarrel! There are some things that we all know in our hearts that they are weishenme, but there is no need to say it! Frenchman, if you want to condemn Yang Dagui and wait for you to return to France, you can condemn it as much as you want, please do what Hao Fuman said now. Shut your mouth and let these people think you're friendly! Or you'll kill us all!" ”

The French stopped talking, and Haufferman, of course, did not say anything, but after exhaling a sigh of relief, he asked, "Hamilton, when exactly will we be able to go home?" ”…,

Hamilton shrugged his shoulder: "God knows! Maybe after the Japanese and the Russians split the winners. ”

On April 28, the Russians broke through the defense line of the Japanese Third Army and rescued the Russian Lushun Siberian Army, which was only more than 60,000 men left in the Japanese encirclement.

And the Third Army of Little Japan also suffered heavy casualties. Now the Japanese had no way to advance further, and on April 30, the Japanese retreated to the Arthur area on all fronts to ensure that the port would not be recaptured by the Russians.

Lao Maozi also has no ability to launch a counterattack against Lushun. The casualties of the Russian and Japanese armies so far exceeded those of the Russo-Japanese War in history, and the price they paid far exceeded what they were willing to pay.

The two sides opened a defensive line between Liaoyang and Lushun, and neither dared to launch a blow to the other side easily, and the war on the land slowly began to subside.

Now both Japan and Russia have their eyes on the sea, waiting for the Baltic Fleet and the Japanese fleet to decide the winner.

Yang Xiaolin's arms orders began to drop sharply with the end of the Battle of Liaoyang, and the pace of development of the base area Fit slowly stopped, all of which reminded Commander Yang that the spring in the base area had passed, and he must act immediately. Only by using the bayonet in your hand to break through the heat, the cold autumn, and the midwinter can you find the traces of the next spring.

The Russian Navy at this time was in third place in the shijie ranking, and this time they had the Baltic Fleet as the main force. A huge fleet of twenty capital battleships was formed, and on the surface it was a considerable strength. However, external majesty does not hide its inner weakness.

The warships in the fleet are mixed with old and new, and their performance varies greatly, making it difficult to coordinate their actions. The equipment of the battleships that had just been commissioned was too new, and the officers and men were not yet proficient in it. The quality of the soldiers was low, most of the sailors were temporary recruits with no practical experience, and they had never even seen the sea before joining the army. Officers have been in reserve for a long time and have little experience in combat.

Moreover, the backward military system of the Russians has also seriously affected their morale, and such a fleet has been on the battlefield since September last year, crossing the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and South China Sea.

Their purpose was to defeat the battle-hardened Japanese Combined Fleet, cut off the Japanese mainland from the battlefield in order to save the situation on the battlefield between Japan and Russia, and cut off the logistics of the Japanese troops that had landed.

The strategy is very correct, but this is almost an impossible task, that is, the stormy waves of 18,000 nautical miles are enough for the Russians!

These were Lao Maozi's fatal wounds, but they were not the most serious. If there is a qualified general who can take advantage of the opportunity of this eighteen thousand nautical miles of sea voyage to run in the troops, by the time they arrive at this battlefield, they can completely turn from a group of recruits into an elite. The biggest mistake Lao Maozi made was that they found a bastard to be a general!
