Let's just say that the current German troops are generally divided into infantry divisions and artillery divisions. But the Volunteer Army is different in this regard, although the entire Volunteer Army has only one artillery division, in each brigade there are one, two, or even three artillery battalions.

In the eyes of foreign armies, the scattering of artillery into various infantry units is the dispersion of artillery fire. At this time, all the countries believed that the best way to attack was to concentrate artillery fire to destroy the enemy.

The concept of the Volunteers is the opposite, whether it is charging or defending, they will not fight a single artillery fire like other countries, and then thousands of people line up to end the battle. Fight the Volunteers, and you will find that although they can't fight you in an artillery battle, you will be bombed by them from the beginning to the end! Cannons, mines, unconscionable cannons, grenades, grenades, when all these explosions are over, you'll find them in front of you!

Then you'll face off against their formidable melee firepower! Not only is their proportion of machine guns the largest among the armies of all countries in Shijie at present, but no country has done a better job of configuring melee firepower than Yang Dagui! Snipers, bombardiers, machine gun shooters, deputy shooters, sharp knife soldiers, rifle gunners, counting the squad leader and deputy squad leader who command the battle, there are more than a dozen people in a squad of the Volunteers, and the number of troops has reached seven or eight! This is far less than that of the German Army, which now dominates Europe.

Hoffmann had already reported to Berlin two months earlier on the situation in the northeast, and he believed that such a mode of operation could be tried by Germany. But the German side did not take his advice.

First of all, the combat system of the German army has been formed, and major surgery is required to change it. It may trigger the interests of many people, and it is not so easy. Most importantly. Except for Mr. Hoffmann, the rest of the people on the German side really didn't know anything about this guy Yang Dagui. Mr. Hoffmann's status in Germany was not too high, so the advice he took was looked at by the German staff and thrown into a drawer, where he lay quietly.

Berlin's attitude was not positive, but Hoffmann firmly believed in his own judgment, and he was sure that the British could not have taken out the beast so easily. Once a war breaks out here, Yang Dagui can definitely turn this place into a deep quagmire, so that the troops who invade here will not be able to get out.

If the beast's minions were sharpened, the Brit would have been scarred by his scratches. He really had to tell Yang Xiaolin about this matter quickly, and let this beast prepare earlier. Things would have been more satisfying for the Germans.

The next morning, Hoffman found Yang Xiaolin, who was helping his fellow villagers harvest sorghum, in the Second Division of the Volunteer Army. This is also the difference between the Volunteers and other troops, whether it is Britain or Germany, no army will help the villagers harvest crops and repair houses.

"Commander Yang, there's something I want to talk to you about alone."

When the guards brought him over, Yang Xiaolin was pushing a cart of sorghum while talking to the uncle next to him. The uncle saw that a foreigner was coming to Commander Yang, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take the cart in Commander Yang's hand and left.

Yang Xiaolin also stopped, pulled Hoffman to a haystack on the side of the road, and sat down on the hay. Wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "Mr. Hoffman, is there anything you have to do with me this early in the morning?" ”

Hoffman did as the locals did, and also sat on top of the weeds: "I have very bad news, you are in trouble." ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Oh? What's the trouble? ”

Hoffman shrugged his shoulders: "Yesterday Sa Daoyi held a meeting in Beijing. said that they supported Yuan Shikai to take over the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they wanted to kill you. ”

Yang Xiaolin's face did not have the slightest nervousness, and Hao Fuman looked at his unresponsive expression. He said very sincerely: "What I said is true! This time the British did so that they were even willing to take direct military action. And also. The Japanese, the Russians are very active. Even Austria-Hungary was willing to send troops directly into battle. ”

Yang Xiaolin shook his head indifferently: "It seems that my popularity is really bad, what about you Germans?" ”

The corners of Hoffman's mouth moved: "We will also send troops, but we will try to avoid the main battlefield when fighting." ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded and didn't say any more about this question: "I know." Mr. Hoffman, what did you think about the establishment of a submarine research institute in Lushun? ”

Hoffman's eyes stared at Yang Xiaolin for a long time, he really didn't understand that this guy was still so indifferent when he heard that so many people were going to kill him. Is it meaningful to still think about construction at this time?

At least in the German's mind, Yang should be ready to fight the British right now, and he should think about how to keep himself alive.

Mr. Hoffmann was a German aristocrat, and he could never understand the thoughts of Yang Xiaolin, a Chinese beast. How did the Volunteers come about? How did the title of Yang Fighting Ghost come about? He was not at all surprised to hear that the British were coming to beat him, but on the contrary, he would have been shocked if Hoffman had told Yang Xiaolin that Mr. Sadaoyi had openly supported him in Beijing.

Hoffman felt that he could just say it, and the Germans could only do this, so he didn't say any more, took over the topic of Yang Xiaolin and said: "Our cooperation will continue, as for the research institute you mentioned, the German side said that there are some problems in the middle, you don't have a navy at all in your hands now, and you don't have the talent of the navy at all, everything has to be provided by the German side, so this is completely our work, we contribute, but you have to sit back and enjoy the results, which seems unfair." ”

Yang Xiaolin waved his hand to interrupt him: "Hoffman, I know that I asked you to help me train naval soldiers, and I also raised the idea that the sharing of results is unfair, but I ask you to believe me, in other cooperation, I will repay you sooner or later." ”

Hoffman shook his head, from his personal point of view, he also wanted to arrange two submarines here, give the Japanese a little trouble, and give Yang Xiaolin a little support. But the German side has now defined the matter, and he must speak from the German standpoint: "It's really difficult. As for the future, you know that Berlin does not believe that you will be able to hold out, and the German side would have wanted to terminate cooperation after the British made it clear this time. So what you say sooner or later will there be, really makes us doubt. ”

Yang Xiaolin didn't argue anything: "Then what do you mean?" ”

Hoffmann thought for a moment and said, "The conditions on our German side may be a bit harsh. We can set up the institute entirely on our part of the German side. The harbor is at our disposal. Of course, we can train your navy, provide you with submarines at cost price, or even give them away directly. ”

Yang Xiaolin scolded when he heard this: "Your mother!" Is this different from ceding a port? Lao Tzu is not Manchu. ”

The navy is the blank of the volunteers. Yang Xiaolin knew his weakness, so he needed the German submarine jishu! He will definitely not compare the construction of ships with Japan, Britain and the United States now, everyone has been building them for decades and hundreds of years, he has just unified the Northeast, and the stomachs of the common people are not yet full. There are more ships than others, and the ship is bigger, and it is purely not pleasant to find. It's like he's definitely not going to go crazy casting cannons now.

This is the case in the military, where the enemy chooses a breakthrough from where the opponent is weak. Build one ship yourself, and Japan can build ten. But to build a submarine on their own, little Japan can't do it, they don't have this jishu yet. Even if their British boss gives them it, it is not as good as the Germans, and the German submarine Jishu is currently shijie ahead.

But the Germans have now rejected him, which makes Commander Yang a little unwilling. Hoffman, of course, understood that he was swearing, but he didn't say anything: "I'm sorry. But that's all I can say to you. ”

Yang Xiaolin's hand tapped him twice: "Hao Fuman, listen to me, I will definitely win!" Even if he sends all the troops of the world to the northeast, I will let him take off a layer of skin! I have faith in my troops, I have faith in my brothers! Wait until I win the battle. Let you see that I have tomorrow, and then we will talk about cooperation! ”

Hoffman nodded: "Okay." I am sure that if you win the war, we on the German side will change our position. ”

After sending Hoffman away, Yang Xiaolin immediately returned to his headquarters. Although Commander Yang was used to hearing the news that others were going to beat him, it didn't mean that he really didn't care at all in his heart.

From the beginning of the battle with the Russians in the mountains of Yulu to the present. Yang Fighting Ghost is always fighting against opponents who are much stronger than him. Russians, Japanese. The Manchus were going to kill him. But what about now? Now that the Manchus have been driven out of the Northeast by themselves, the Japanese have also been beaten honestly by him, and the Russians have no longer made any moves in Heilongjiang, which definitely does not depend on his indifferent attitude.

On the contrary, he values each of his opponents. Only by paying attention to the opponent and studying the opponent can we find a way to defeat the opponent. The Japanese, Russians, and Manchus can't threaten themselves for the time being, originally Commander Yang thought that he could have a period of time to recuperate, but he didn't expect the British to jump out so eagerly!

This opponent is stronger than Japan and Russia!

Britain is now the world's first military and economic liliang, they very easily through a meeting to form an alliance, Sa Daoyi in Beijing said a few words to all the countries to their opposite, this alone is Japan and Russia these two countries simply can not do!

"I just received news that Britain and France have provided Yuan Shikai with a loan of 10 million pounds, and the Americans have given a large amount of arms to the Beiyang Army.

In the operational staff room, Cai Ye reported to Yang Xiaolin the latest information he had obtained: "On the Jinzhou side, the Beiyang Army has advanced the original defense line by another 300 meters, and Li Debiao has called to say that a new artillery position has begun on the opposite side and construction is underway. If this position is built, his command post will be directly exposed under the guns of the Beiyang Army. In the south, too, Yuan Shikai's pace suddenly accelerated, and many of the Manchu new armies were reorganized by him and were being trained, if this development continued, it was expected that the strength of the Beiyang Army would expand to 600,000 in half a year, which was only a conservative estimate. ”

"What about Beijing? What was the action between Yuan Shikai and the Manchus? ”

Cai Yi shook his head: "Originally, there was news that Yuan Shikai was going to make a move, but now, he stopped again. ”

Yang Xiaolin angrily threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

He put his troops in Jinzhou to convey a signal to Yuan Shikai, but conveying the signal does not mean that he really wants to fight. Yang Xiaolin's original intention was very simple, he just told Lao Yuan that he had started to prepare here, and asked Lao Yuan to hurry up.

As long as Yuan Shikai kills the Manchus, he and Yuan Shikai will divide the winner according to the way they agreed, and the matter in China can basically be solved. Whether it is won by himself or by Lao Yuan, Beiyang and the Volunteers are destined to be unified by one by the other.

When China's armed forces are unified, Sun Wen has not yet revolted, and the rest is a political problem, even if the volunteers win, they will not do that kind of thing to kill everything, and it is no problem to let Yuan Shikai be the president! Giving Sun Wen a vice president will not say anything, as long as the armed Liliang is unified, the warlord secession will not appear, and China will be able to avoid decades of war!

Yang Xiaolin conveyed the war signal to Yuan Shikai just to let Lao Yuan quickly kill the Manchus, and the rest was just a battle with a controllable scale. Originally, Yuan Shikai was already scared, and he knew very well that he couldn't defeat the Volunteers militarily, and he began to integrate the entire Liliang in the Guan.

But the British gave him such courage, and Lao Yuan suddenly had confidence. Yuan Shikai's footsteps in China once again became unhurried and slow, and the center of gravity was all pressed towards the northeast. (To be continued......)
