Chapter 58: Lao Yuan was very embarrassed
The battle in Liaoxi had entered its most critical stage, and after the Volunteers had successfully cut off Rongben's troops, they began to eat the isolated enemies one by one. That is, on the first day of the general offensive launched by the Volunteers, the Japanese reserve infantry brigade was almost completely wiped out, and the 1st Cavalry Brigade had less than one wing left, including the 3rd Division of Rongben, and the casualties were more than half.
However, the Japanese army did not completely lose hope, as the situation here in Rongben Shengjia became worse and worse, the rest of the Japanese army became more and more frenzied, and the two divisions on the left flank desperately attacked the defense line of the volunteers, to the point of not counting casualties. The reserve 8th Division on the right was also forced into battle, and General Nogi Noshinori ordered the 2nd Army to march day and night, and although the 5th Division of the Volunteer Army was trying to entangle, the 2nd Army was getting closer and closer.
At this time, Yang Da Ghost also seemed to be crazy, and he didn't care about the enemies pressed from all sides around him, he just attacked Rongben!
Did Yang beat the ghost to kill Eimoto Shengjia before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, or did Eimoto Shengjia Zuihou become the hard bone that stuck Yang Beat Ghost? The eyes of many people on Shijie were attracted by this battle.
The foreigners blocked the news very strictly, but Yuan Shikai still knew the battle situation well.
It was already past one o'clock in the evening, and Lao Yuan hadn't rested yet. Lying on the chaise longue and rocking, his eyes fixed on the light bulb above his head, but he didn't know what was going on in his head.
To be honest, Yuan Shikai was really surprised, Yang Xiaolin's military deployment and tactical fraud before the start of the war were very beautiful. These are not enough to convince Lao Yuan, what he admires is that guy actually has the courage to open his mouth and bite the Japanese Second Army to death!
If it were him, Lao Yuan would never do this, he didn't like to do such a gambling-style desperate bet, it seems that although it is enjoyable, what if you lose?
Speaking from the heart, that guy's move is very beautiful, at least little Japan is already a little flustered now.
The recliner creaked. It's not because the chair is bad, it's because Lao Yuan is too fat.
Mr. Sadaoyi also came to Yuan Shikai today, the British knew that the Beiyang Army had 150,000 soldiers in Jinzhou, and from Jinzhou to Beijing, Lao Yuan arranged seven lines of defense and 300,000 troops! Sa Daoyi asked the Beiyang Army to immediately intervene in the battle against the northeast.
From this request, Yuan Shikai can see that Little Japan is panicking. If Japan had not panicked, it would not have asked the Beiyang Army to send troops. The condition offered by the Japanese was that if Lao Yuan Ken sent troops to attack the rear of the Volunteers, then Japan promised not to give Sun Wen any more support.
Lao Yuan did not agree. Again, that's the same sentence. There is a bottom line when being a bitch, and Lao Yuan doesn't want his hands to be stained with the blood of the volunteers. So things in the Northeast are very troublesome, and it seems that no matter how you deal with them, you can't handle them.
And things are more troublesome in Mongolia!
This world is really changing too fast, the orthodox prince of the Qing Dynasty Zaitao actually carried the banner of resistance in Mongolia, just this afternoon, when the news of the general offensive launched by the volunteers on the battlefield of Liaoxi just came, Zaitao also fought his first battle in Mongolia.
Belle Ye was too clear about the deployment of Russian forces in Mongolia, and in one battle, he knocked out a large warehouse of military supplies for the Russians and killed more than 100 Russian soldiers. Thousands of rifles were captured, and his banner was carried - the Mongolian Anti-Independence Resistance Army!
Yuan Shikai didn't know that Zaitao Weishenme would suddenly oppose independence, hasn't this kid always been very active in restoration? But he knew that once the news of Zaitao carrying this banner reached Beijing. It was more severe than Yang Dagui's direct attack on the Beiyang Army in Mongolia.
The common people know that a Manchu Belle Ye is in Mongolia and opposes independence, and you are still sitting here to fight Sun Wen? Just wait to be scolded.
This time I knew that the people were complaining about themselves, although Lao Yuan on the one hand rescued the fleeing refugees in Jinzhou with great fanfare, and on the other hand, he used the war situation in the south to divert the attention of the people in the country. But the guy Yang beat the ghost and gave him the hat of "bending the knee, flattering man" has not been shaken off.
If Zaitao kicks again, his archway will collapse. What to do? Support Zaitao?
The Russians' army of hundreds of thousands has already reached Liaodong. can enter Jinzhou in a blink of an eye, Lao Yuan is not a Yang fighting ghost, he doesn't have the courage to make a big gamble with his decades of operation.
There is also the same trouble as Sun Wen's side!
Yang Xiaolin has long said that foreigners are not allowed to take their hands away from China's affairs, and Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai cannot handle it. Sun Wen is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, knowing that the provisional government in the south is now dissolved, and there is no way to surrender, Sun Wen became so crazy.
Immediately after his return to Nanjing, he contacted the representatives of various countries, and although he did not issue a statement expressing his support for the foreigners' military action in Northeast China, he issued a statement expelling Yang Xiaolin, Chen Tianhua, Zou Rong and others from the League on the grounds that they had not contributed to the revolution during the revolution.
Although this statement made some people in the League extremely dissatisfied, and even Huang Xing thought that Sun Wen had gone too far, but in exchange for the support of foreigners for Sun Wen, after a large amount of loans were received, the situation of the revolutionary army slowly began to ease.
The soldiers in Nanjing City who were in trouble with military salaries immediately became determined to make a revolution, and the military rebellion in Guangzhou gradually subsided, and Chen Qimei in Shanghai also launched an attack on Wu Zhaolin, and the foreigners put forward restrictions on the military operations of the Beiyang Army, so the Americans made it clear that the materials they gave to the Beiyang Army could not be used in the war against the revolutionaries, which made Duan Qirui's march not as smooth as Yuan Shikai expected.
Of course, Mr. Sun Wen's approach was also scolded in the south, but Mr. Sun Wen completely showed his spirit of running the rivers and lakes, and pretended not to hear those opposing voices, so he played with Yuan Shikai and played with his life by any means.
Lao Yuan felt that the current situation was really complicated, and he thought that the country was at his fingertips, but he couldn't pick it off when he was dangling in front of his eyes!
When he was thinking about it, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, Yuan Shikai turned his head to look, Yuan Zhongzhen stood at the door timidly, as if he wanted to leave immediately when he found Yuan Shikai looking at her.
Lao Yuan sat up with great difficulty, and Yuan Zhongzhen hurriedly ran over to help him: "Dad, slow down." ”
Lao Yuan found that this girl was really much more honest since the last turmoil, as if she already knew that there were some troubles that she couldn't provoke.
"Why haven't you slept so late?"
Yuan Zhongzhen lowered his head: "I can't sleep, walk around the yard and see that the lights are still on here, I'm afraid you will sleep like this." I want to add a quilt for you. ”
Lao Yuan smiled, this girl still knows to come and see herself, if she sleeps and adds a quilt, she has really grown up.
"Daddy can't sleep. Think about something. Zhongzhen, tell me what you think in your heart, tell me what you think in your heart? I'm really curious that you weishenme don't go to France anymore? ”
Yuan Zhongzhen didn't hide anything at this time: "At that time, all the classmates were going to come back, they knew that I was your daughter, and they specially greeted me, hoping that I could help them arrange it, and they said they wanted to find a suitable position." To do something that can be done for China, I just feel that I have promised others, and if they come back, I will leave, and I will really not be able to see people in the future. ”
Yuan Shikai was relieved after hearing this: "Oh, I really thought you had a crush on Yang Fighting Ghosts." To be honest, that guy is good, although he is a little older, he also has a temper with his father. If he hadn't had a wife, and the foreigners would have killed him, I wouldn't have said anything. ”
Yuan Zhongzhen's face turned red: "Dad! ”
Yuan Shikai smiled: "It's okay if it's not, that's right." I will talk to Zhenchun about your classmates, since they have found you and you have agreed, you have to arrange them. You are my Yuan Shikai's daughter, this little thing can't be talked about. ”
Yuan Zhongzhen glanced at Yuan Shikai very embarrassed: "No need Dad, a few of them have already left and gone to the Northeast." You're looking for me. They also asked me to write a letter to Uncle Yang, and they really thought that I had something with him. ”
Lao Yuan was stunned, there are many people who go to the Northeast for a while. But he really didn't expect that those who came back from studying abroad also had the courage to go to the Northeast, which made him feel very uncomfortable, Yuan Shikai knew that this was called the people's heart.
Suddenly, he had a fear that made him tremble, and he had the urge to send troops to fight Yang Xiaolin! Because he understands what it means to the Beiyang Army and the Beiyang Government once Yang Dagui wins this war!
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Yuan Zhongzhen obviously felt the strangeness of Lao Yuan, but Yuan Shikai forced a laugh: "It's okay, you go to sleep." Help me go to the door and call Lei Zhenchun over, and say that I have something to do with him. ”
Lao Yuan knew that he had to react, if he didn't do anything like this, once Yang Dagui defeated the coalition army, his decades of hard work would definitely be buried for those foreigners. So even if it was very late, he called Lei Zhenchun: "Zhenchun, I want you to go to Mongolia and find a Tao." ”
The gunfire in Suzigou rang out for three days and four nights, and finally stopped at the dawn when the sun rose.
This is not the end of the battle, but the end of the battle is about to begin. Calm because the most ferocious storm is coming.
Standing at the forefront of the position, he could see the movement of the opposing volunteers. His headquarters is gone, this Zhuangzi is called Ma Zhuang, and the radius is only six or seven hundred square meters.
The other positions are all the volunteers, and now they only have this one left, more than 7,000 Japanese soldiers are compressed by the volunteers in this village, and a single shell will never be empty.
He could see that the artillery and unconscionable artillery on the opposite side had been deployed, and the gang of men with steel helmets were shuttling around a short distance, preparing for the attack.
Rong Ben put down his binoculars, raised his finger and moved it behind him: "Telegraph." ”
The staff officer immediately ran over and took out his pen and paper and looked at Rong Ben. Rong Ben first let out a sigh, and then said: "Your Excellency, Commander, our soldiers have done their best, but because of my improper command, the battle situation is irreparable today. ”
The staff officer's hand paused: "Division commander,"
Eimoto made a gesture to signal him not to continue, the Japanese commanders basically dared to take responsibility, not because of their high quality, but because of the system of the Japanese army, which made them have to do so. (To be continued......)
