Chapter 36 The Sword Soldier Goes Out of the Warehouse
The war was about to begin, and after Yang Xiaolin declared war on the Russians, Mr. Yue Resar reacted immediately, and the Russians said that the independence of Mongolia was a matter for the Chinese and had nothing to do with them, and if Yang Dagui insisted on implicating the charge on the Russians, the Russian army would not be afraid to meet it.
Even the common people can't fool this now.
The anger of the Chinese can be said to have reached the extreme! The Chinese nation has been bullied for decades, and this generation of Chinese can be said to have grown up under the bullying of foreigners. Finally, the bastard court was finished, and they thought that they could really taste what democracy was like from now on, but before they knew what democracy was, the little self-esteem they had just had was trampled on again.
Commander Yang in the northeast raised the banner of defending Mongolia, although they were reluctant to have a stable family for various reasons, they really gave Yang Xiaolin the support they could. Large-scale demonstrations broke out in Beijing, Nanjing, and Shanghai, in solidarity with Yang's fight against ghosts, and fund-raising activities were held at the site of the parade to raise military funds for the volunteers.
The Chinese believe that Yang fights ghosts, because Commander Yang has never let them down, and the foreign achievements of the volunteer army give them full confidence.
However, this confidence has not been maintained for two days, that is, Yang Xiaolin has just left Beijing, and less than twelve hours after Mr. Yue Ressar's statement has ended, Britain, France, Japan, Germany, Austria-Hungary, the United States, Italy, and seven countries have issued a statement that they will send troops to the northeast! Assist the Russian troops in exterminating Yang Dagui, a beast that destroys the Shijie civilization.
Counting Lao Maozi, there are eight more countries! It's the Eight-Nation Coalition again!
The scar that had not yet healed was torn open, and the whole nation trembled in pain!
The processions, which had been somewhat orderly, got out of control, the foreign merchants were attacked, and the offices of the Nanjing Provisional Government and the Beiyang Government were almost completely blocked. There are also some young people who, after being disappointed in Beijing and Nanjing, do not hesitate to pack their bags and embark on the road to the northeast.
Our nation has never lacked hot-blooded people, and the moment they take their steps, they no longer think about life and death. They have only one belief, to go to the Northeast. Go and defend Mongolia with Commander Yang, and fight the foreigners with the Volunteers! Even if you dry up your blood, you have to make a shout in order to maintain the dignity of that zuihou!
"I will use my life and blood to defend the dignity of our nation and the integrity of our homeland! Maybe I'll never come back this time, and when I fall on the battlefield, I'll be smiling. This is a sentence from the parting letter written by Zhao Dong's classmate Zeng Xiaoliang to his newlywed wife.
At this time, the Northeast Volunteer Army's combat preparations were also fully ready.
Mr. Sa Daoyi showed a move to Mount Tai to suppress the top, which was very fierce, very powerful, and very scary. But the Volunteers were not intimidated by his move.
They are preparing to fight desperately with the enemy. Desperate will also fight and will not fight. Those who can work hard are called desperate, and those who can't work hard are called sent to death. And whether it's the Volunteers. It's still Chen Tianhua and Yang Xiaolin, who are all desperate.
Yang Xiaolin knew what he needed to win. First of all, you must make your fists hard enough, and strive to be able to inflict heavy blows on the opponent with one punch in the early stage of the most physical war, disrupting the opponent's steps, so that the next battle can be more beneficial to you.
The next thing to do is to maintain your combat capability as much as possible after the war has started in full swing. That stage will also be the most difficult stage facing the volunteers, after all, the disparity between the two sides is an unchangeable fact.
Chen Tianhua had already done a lot of work in the base area, and when the obvious signal of war came, their zuihou also took a step forward!
The assembly lines that could process weapons and equipment in large quantities were all dismantled. It was broken down into small workshops one after another, scattered in relatively safe mountain forests, and now machine guns and artillery are no longer produced.
Yang Xiaolin and Chen Tianhua said very clearly, don't think about who has built more guns than the British. Don't compare the resources in the hands of the Volunteers with their war potential.
Britain was in the midst of an economic crisis for several years, and even so, in the official figures for 1906, foreign trade revenues alone amounted to £130 million. What about the Northeast? Let's not mention it, the total income is less than a fraction of that of others. Not thirty million. It's a fraction of 30 million.
What's more, there are France and the United States to help the British behind, which really can't be compared. War is fought with money, but without money does not mean that the war cannot be fought.
Yang Xiaolin broke up those factories. It is enough to turn into a small workshop and just produce ammunition. Since the desperate efforts to build guns and artillery cannot catch up with the wealth of the Eight-Nation Alliance, it is simply necessary to spend all its energy and limited resources on maintenance.
The purpose is very clear, one gun of the enemy can be used for one year, and the Volunteer Army can use it for two years with a little maintenance. Although he doesn't produce guns and cannons anymore, the weapons captured on the battlefield are taken over for a little repair and processing! As long as the battle is fought well, I can arm at least one brigade if you annihilate one of your divisions.
This is still the old method of our PLA, if it is not comparable, don't stand up and compare with others, and treat the enemy as your own transport brigade, which is more cost-effective than building guns and artillery yourself.
"Have all the troops entered combat positions?"
Although the train was still moving, Commander Yang had already begun to command the battle, and the declaration of war of the Eight Nations was placed in his hand, and Yang Xiaolin just glanced at it and didn't care about him anymore.
Kong Landing said: "Our army has now concentrated nine main divisions in western Liaoning, in addition to the eleventh division in the Heilongjiang region to continue to confuse the Russian troops, the twelfth division has been out of Mongolia according to the schedule, the independent division is in Liaoping ready to fight a defensive battle, and the remaining only five divisions are still in Liaodong, Chief of Staff Cai means that the fifth division is a mobile force, and if the Japanese army kills from Korea, the fifth division is responsible for dragging them down." ”
"Yes, where is Zhang Zuolin now?"
"Deputy Commander Zhang has penetrated more than 100 miles deep into Mongolia, and there was an exchange of fire with Zhebuzundamba's troops, and the fierce battle lasted for half an hour, killing more than 1,200 enemies and capturing 2,000 people."
The corners of Commander Yang's mouth smiled, this is expected, Zhebu Zun Danba's troops were originally a rabble, and they were not ranked in the Qing Dynasty before. If it weren't for the fact that Guangxu really had no way now, he wouldn't let them resist the attack of the volunteers.
Kong Landing continued: "Commander Zhang released those prisoners, and released a word, saying that he would capture Kulen before January 26!" Capture Guangxu alive! ”
Yang Xiaolin was very satisfied: "Okay! At this time, Guangxu should be nervous, I just want him to be nervous, and I also want the Russians to be nervous. Lao Maozi couldn't hold his breath, so he wouldn't investigate the second pole too carefully. Send a telegram to the second pole, when the Russians besiege him with 200,000 troops, no one will help him, let him fight the battle by himself, and he must withstand five days, which can be regarded as his credit! ”
Kong Landing smiled: "This kid has already made a military order with Jin Dadao." ”
Yang Xiaolin didn't say anything more. He believed in his team, he believed in his brother. Although the 11th Division is a newly formed unit, the backbone of their company platoon is an old brother. And although this kid is a bit two, he has his own set of methods on the battlefield.
It shouldn't be a problem for Tang Yulin to guard Liaoping, although Tang Dahu lacks some ability, he is very steady. What Commander Yang has to do now is to prepare a big table in Liaoxi and kill those little Japan who landed from Dalian!
The Japanese also longed for this battle, the Third Army had been waiting in Korea for many months, and Hisinao Oshima was also preparing for the landing of a large army in Dalian. As soon as Mr. Sadaoyi said that he could fight, the Japanese Second Army couldn't wait to board the warship.
The Second Army is Matsumura Minoto as the general, this guy was still the division commander during the Russo-Japanese War, because the former commander of the Second Army did not perform well in the Russo-Japanese War. They were also badly damaged by the Russians, and the original commander returned home with disarming and returning to the field.
Yang Xiaolin suddenly remembered Naogami Matsuhara at this time: "By the way, Staff Officer Kong, is there any news of Naogami Matsubara?" Did this guy deal with it after he returned to Japan? ”
Kong Landing shook his head: "I heard that he hasn't been dealt with yet, as for the specific situation, I don't know the specific situation." ”
Yang Xiaolin's face was quite disappointed. He thought that it would be best if Naokami Matsubara could commit suicide by disembowelment, and it was best to die immediately and never return to China.
Commander Yang didn't know. In Japan, not everyone wants to start this war now, and the Navy does not want the Army to have this opportunity to turn over! If it weren't for the fact that the European gentlemen were willing to pay for it, the army would not have had to entangle itself with the navy on the issue of military spending, and perhaps they would not have been able to send troops now.
Although the navy fully supports the army in action, some small actions in private are still unavoidable. After Naogami Matsubara was sent back to Japan, he was also ready to be disemboweled, but he did not expect that several admirals led by Togo Heihachiro would say good things for him, which made the Japanese military department contradict him in this way.
In addition, now the War Department wants to fight, but it doesn't want to, and it doesn't have time to entangle with the people in the navy, so it locked up Naokami Matsuhara and locked it up. I wonder what Matsubara-kun would have thought if he knew that Commander Yang was very disappointed that he didn't have a caesarean section?
Yang Xiaolin didn't ask anything more, his eyes were on the location of Kulun on the map, and he thought for a while and said: "Tell Zhang Zuolin that the troops will turn back as soon as they reach the border with Kulun!" Lao Maozi may enter Mongolia in two days, don't let them bite it. ”
Zhang Lao Wu led one division into Mongolia, but he carried the banner of three divisions, which looked scary, and he was going to be targeted by the Russians, and he might not be able to come back.
Now neither the Russians nor the Manchus who are preparing to restore the country know that Zhang Zuolin only brought one division of troops. Even Yuan Shikai in the Guan was deceived by Yang Dagui, thinking that Yang Xiaolin was really desperate to enter Mongolia.
Baylor Zaitao is preparing to take up the post of Minister of Defense of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he is thinking about how to stop the Volunteers, at least for four days, so that Guangxu can successfully complete the enthronement ceremony.
Compared with Beijing City, Lord Belle is now completely two mentalities, and it can be said that he is ambitious! Emperor Guangxu is wise, after Zaitao came to Kulun, he wanted to form a Qing Dynasty's own army, Guangxu didn't say a word, and deducted a large part of the money from the enthronement ceremony to him!
Guangxu said that the ceremony can be shabby, but the army cannot be shabby. These words simply said that Lord Bellor's heart was in trouble. If such a wise emperor can't lead the revival of the Qing Dynasty, it is simply heaven's reason!
Therefore, it must be ensured that Zhang Zuolin has no way to fight Kulun before the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, and when the emperor ascends the throne, he can invite the Russians to come in to help defend, and at that time Zhang Zuolin and these tens of thousands of people will have nothing to do.
