Chapter Seventy-Three: Sudden Change in the Storm (Ask for Subscription!) )
Regardless of whether there is a real friendship between Yang Xiaolin and the Russians, this battle is a real peace anyway. The negotiations between Yang Du and the Russians went very smoothly, Lao Maozi pulled down his body and discussed with the volunteers little by little, and the two sides reached an agreement: within ten days after the end of the negotiations, Yang Xiaolin would send the more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers under Naogami Matsubara out of Korea, and the Russian troops would send special personnel to supervise them on the way, and at the same time ensure that the Russian defenders on the Yalu River let them go.
The two sides redrew the scope of Shili on both sides, and the Russians adopted a tacit approach to the current territory of the Volunteers, and for some important cities of the Russians, Yang Xiaolin had to promise not to make trouble.
Lao Maozi allowed the Shili of the Volunteers to expand further northeast to the vicinity of the Songhuā River basin.
In the newly developed area, only the militia of the Volunteers was allowed to exist in the villages, and in the absence of hostile Shili entering, neither the regular troops of the Volunteers nor the Russian troops intervened, leaving them as a buffer zone between the two sides, ensuring the "friendship" between the two sides.
Lao Maozi gave in a little, and Yang Xiaolin's territory doubled. Of course, the Russians only gave up the northeast direction, Kaiyuan, Siping, which they did not concede. Yang Du talked with the Russians for a long time about this, and he knew that Yang Xiaolin had been staring at those mines for a long time, but Lao Maozi's attitude was quite resolute.
Yang Xiaolin knew that the Russians had come to plunder the resources of China, and unless he had the ability to drive Lao Maozi away by force, there would be no need to talk about this matter at all.
He immediately began to expand his troops, first recruiting 6,000 qualified militiamen from among the militia to join the Volunteers. This time, the militia fought very well, whether it was for the peripheral harassment or those who stuck to Houma Town with Biaozi, they all performed very well.
Although the militia responsible for monitoring the direction of Mukden made a mistake, it was not the responsibility of the militia, it was Yang Xiaolin's own responsibility.
Houma Town was finally occupied by Lao Maozi this time, but the Russians did not dare to go further, and even the villages and towns around Houma Town were not affected by the war, which made all the people in the base area believe in the ability of the volunteers, and these people can help them defend their homeland.
In addition, the militia has already held two martial arts competitions, and that team is well trained, and the militia there is of high quality, so there is no need to bother to investigate.
The conscription process went very smoothly, and in less than ten days, the Volunteer Army had expanded to 10,000 men. Biaozi's three regiments were also reorganized, this time the three regiments were more well-equipped, his flag was also replaced, and the other troops were all battalions of a certain regiment of the volunteers.
But their banner is "A certain battalion of the Steel Regiment of the Volunteers"!
The military uniforms were all replaced with new ones, and the first batch of Madsen light machine guns copied by the arsenal totaled more than 100 units, all of which were equipped with Nyerere's special combat team and the third regiment. Don't underestimate these light machine guns, he can make Biaozi's combat effectiveness a notch!
Other regiments have a heavy machine gun per squad, and although the fire is fierce, the guy is very inconvenient to move, and he has to be carried by three or four bandits to run.
Light machine guns are different, they weigh twenty or thirty pounds, and there is no problem with a charge carried by one person.
This light machine gun is more suitable for offense than a heavy machine gun, which is suitable for defense. One per class.
As for the heavy machine guns that Yang Xiaolin reequipped Biaozi, Biaozi was used in a centralized manner, and each platoon had a special machine gun squad, and such firepower was beyond the reach of other regiments. However, although they looked red-eyed, they were very convinced, because the three regiments were indeed very brave this time, and the other regiment commanders asked themselves, if they were in Houma Town, they might not be able to stop the Russians.
After talking with the Russians for half a month, just when Yang Du was about to sign an agreement with Colonel Desi Jiansnovich, things suddenly changed dramatically. …,
In May, the First Army of Japan launched an attack on the Russian troops guarding the Yalu River, and in just a few days the Russian army collapsed, and the Japanese army had already crossed the Yalu River into the Liaodong region and was advancing westward.
Do I want to fight Fengtian or Liaoyang, or Lushun? The Russians are not clear about this, but the fact now is that the Japanese themselves have entered Liaodong, and the discussion between them and Yang Xiaolin about sending the thousand people of Naogami Songyuan to Korea is completely meaningless, and it seems to be a joke to say that "the Japanese soldiers are not allowed to appear in the Liaodong region."
This really caught Colonel Desi Jianshi Novich a little off guard, but fortunately, his reaction was quite fast, he did not ask the Russian army command at all, and immediately gave up the original intention of negotiations.
For this reason, Colonel Desi Jianshi Norvich assured that the Russians would never do anything to offend the face of the Volunteers, nor would they infringe on the interests of the Volunteers' base areas, and even, if Yang Xiaolin still needed it, such as sites and mines, he could go to the headquarters.
The transformation of the Russians was expected by everyone, and to be honest, Yang Xiaolin was surprised that Xiao Riben moved so fast!
The record of the war between Japan and Russia in Korea is not very detailed, and it is only mentioned in the textbooks of the People's Liberation Army. However, Yang Xiaolin still has an understanding of the troops deployed by the Russians on the Korean border, there are a total of 20,000 Russians, and the three divisions and one brigade of the First Army of Japan are only 40,000 or 50,000.
This also disrupted Yang Xiaolin's footsteps, and when Colonel Desi Jianshi Novich had not left, he received an ultimatum from the Japanese himself.
The one who gave him an ultimatum was the vanguard of the First Army of Japan, Major General Yoshiko Akiyama.
Akiyama Haogu's tone is not as polite as Desi Jianshi Norvich, in the just-concluded battle of Jiulian City, this Major General of the "Japan" with his troops effortlessly broke through the Russian defense line, and the old Maozi, who has always been high in front of the yellow skin, was killed by him.
He said two things, first, let Yang Xiaolin release these people in the hands of Songyuan now, as long as these soldiers were not insulted, he promised not to hold Yang Xiaolin accountable in the future. Second, let the volunteers prepare some military rations for him, and send out 20,000 local people to serve the war of the Great Japanese Empire, so as to atone for his crimes.
Akiyama didn't even mention that his troops were going to pass through Yang Xiaolin's territory, because in his opinion, it seemed that there was no need to discuss this matter with Yang Xiaolin.
After reading the ultimatum of the "Japanese Edition", Yang Xiaolin read the name of Akiyama again, and then crumpled the ultimatum and threw it on the ground: "Damn it! ”
Chen Tianhua happened to stride in from outside, and the paper ball rolled down at his feet. Seeing Yang Xiaolin's angry expression, Chen Tianhua didn't speak, first picked up the paper ball from the ground and looked at it, and then walked to Yang Xiaolin's side: "General, you can't let our people work for the Japanese themselves, there is news from the North Korean side, the march speed of the Japanese army is quite fast, but their material supplies can't keep up, and the Korean people who help them transport things are starving to death!" They don't give the people food! ”
Yang Xiaolin didn't plan to give the man to the day himself, and raised his head and glanced at Chen Tianhua: "How do you know?" ”…,
Chen Tianhua took out a letter from his arms: "It was Sun Wen who said it, Sun Wen asked you to find a way to push the day himself no matter what." ”
After taking the letter, Yang Xiaobei saw that it was indeed Sun Wen's note, and Sun Wen said in the letter that he was now with General Xikuan Erlang of the First Army of the Korean "Japan", and would soon enter Liaodong with the "Japan" himself.
The purpose of his visit this time was to see how the development of Gulu Mountain was now, Chen Tianhua and Burong and others told Sun Wen many times that it was developing very fast, and Sun Wen wanted to know how fast it was and wanted to know what Yang Xiaolin's volunteer army was like.
At the same time, he also came for this war. Sun Wen didn't want to see that the Russo-Japanese war had caused Yang Xiaolin too much loss, and he meant to let Yang Xiaolin and Japan himself cooperate and seek development together. Sun Wen said that before he arrived, he hoped that Yang Xiaolin would try his best to avoid conflicts with the Japanese himself and avoid some irreconcilable misunderstandings. As for the day himself, if he offered some conditions that he couldn't accept, Sun Wen hoped that Yang Xiaolin would wait until he came and let him deal with it.
Yang Xiaolin knew that Sun Wen was pro-Japanese, and after reading Sun Wen's letter, his brows were furrowed, and he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Chen Tianhua immediately said: "General, what Yixian said is very reasonable, the Japanese himself broke through the defense line of the Russians, and now the army is strong, and your army expansion has just been completed, so it is better not to clash with them at this time." I saw that Akiyama when I was in the day, so I'll talk to him and see if I can push it off. ”
Yang Xiaolin stood up and looked at Chen Tianhua: "Xingtai, are you sure?" ”
Chen Tianhua smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's much better for me to see him than for us not to have contact with the day himself." However, shouldn't the people you locked up be released now? ”
Yang Xiaolin thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll release the people, you prepare." One thing you have to remember is that we've just been through a bad battle and need time to breathe, but we're not afraid of half the battle, you know? ”
Chen Tianhua nodded: "Don't worry, I know that you Jianghu people are fighting for a breath, if they are really too high and unwilling to give in, I will not embarrass the volunteers."
Naokami Songyuan has been cutting wood in Changbai Mountain for half a month, and these wood will be transported by Yang Xiaolin to places where wood is needed, such as in the middle of those tunnels, and on his newly expanded land to build houses for the villagers.
When Zaijian arrived in Matsubara, Yang Xiaolin saw that this guy was holding a long trunk with a thick waist with Aso Nao, and he suddenly felt that this guy was actually quite suitable as a lumberjack.
