Chapter 42: One Fast and One Slow
The blue signal flare of the third lesson had already floated at the head of Dalian City, Yang Xiaolin was hahadaxiao at this time, and the laughter seemed very rampant in the silent night: "Okay, let them come back, and the receiving troops will attack immediately, be sure to pick them out!" ”
Cai Ye was also smiling slightly, his first stage was completed, and all that was left to do was to prepare for the second phase of the operation: "Commander, according to my understanding of the Japanese army, Oshima Hisunao may be finished this time!" When the Japanese Second Army landed, it was perhaps the end of his life. ”
Cai's hand was on the map: "What we have to do now is to retreat immediately, giving Japan the illusion that we are just here to burn supplies." ”
Yang Xiaolin's eyes were filled with murderous excitement: "Well, the first and sixth divisions retreated while fighting, and the rest of the troops quickly retreated into the hinterland of western Liaoning. Have you done a good job of transferring the villagers? ”
Cai Yi nodded: "The villagers in Liaoxi have all been transferred. We cleared the area of the last 200 kilometers, and it was impossible for the Japanese army to get any supplies. ”
Yang Xiaolin was relieved, this time the volunteers wanted to take advantage of their hard fists to bring down the Japanese Second Army with one punch, so that the Second Army would lose its ability to get closer, so as to disrupt the military deployment of the Eight-Nation Alliance. The Japanese Second Army had a total of 110,000 troops, 93,000 volunteers and 70,000 militiamen.
The villagers were all transferred, and he was relieved.
At this time, Zou Rong brought a piece of information from outside: "Commander, the Russians may have found something." Their troops in Heilongjiang actually began to advance forward. ”
Yang Xiaolin took the information. It is also reasonable for Lao Maozi to find out, before the fight, the second pole could be equipped with five divisions in one division, and once the battle started, the Russians entered the stage of all-out attack, and one division was a division, and it could not be installed.
The Russians did not advance very quickly, and it was clear that they could not determine the location of the main force of the Volunteers. Don't take it too lightly. Old Maozi was only tempting now, and if they found out that the Volunteers did not react to the advance of the Russian troops, they would immediately understand in their hearts.
"What about the loss of the fallen base area?"
Zou Rong said: "It's not too big, we did a very good job of transferring in advance, and there was basically no loss of personnel and military supplies." Some civilian factories in Heilongjiang are also built in joint ventures with foreigners, and Lao Maozi has some scruples and does not dare to start. Just a couple of villages were burned by them. ”
Yang Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, now the villagers in the base area are very poor, the houses are all grass houses, they will be burned if they are burned, and they will be built again after winning the battle.
Cai Ye said: "Commander. Do you want to fight the Russians a little? I'm afraid that if we don't react in any way, the folks might have an idea. ”
Commander Yang said very resolutely: "No! The Russians didn't care about him, and even if he found out that there was only one division there, he wouldn't come to help the Japanese. I'm sure that the first thing Lao Maozi did when he freed his hands was to attack Liaoping! ”
Although Japan and Russia formed a coalition under the coordination of Sadaoyi, these two countries are wolves, and Yang Xiaolin absolutely does not believe that they will cooperate sincerely. If they really work together, they won't have a chance.
In this battle, he pursued two tactics against the Russians and the Japanese.
Lao Maozi has been operating in Northeast China for many years, and it is even more deeply rooted in Heilongjiang. Mongolia also has the remnants of the Manchu Qing to cooperate with them, and it can be said that there is a certain foundation.
The Japanese, on the other hand, are different. In the Russo-Japanese War, Japan did not reap any benefits, and then due to the successive defeats in the battle against the Volunteers, their business in China was very dismal, and they did not gain a firm foothold in western Liaoning.
So. You can't be in a hurry to fight the Russians, you can't be slow to fight the Japanese, and you can't give them a chance to gain a foothold in China!
Commander Yang's eyes turned to the commanders and fighters of the Volunteers in the room: "Now go and prepare for battle for me." Remember, this time Lao Tzu sold his house to gamble with others. You can only win, not lose! The target is the Japanese Second Army, if you can kill three, don't just kill two! What I want is that when the battle is over, I can pile up the heads of the Japanese, and Lao Tzu will stand on it and take another photo. Make headlines! ”
"Yes!"
Zhen Sanshan, just look at the name and know that they are bandits.
The mountains and forests hundreds of miles north of Jinzhou used to be his place, and after Yang Xiaolin killed the Manchu troops outside the pass, he originally wanted to take refuge, and the salute was packed, but the Beiyang Army suddenly came.
Later, he inquired, and there were already two big names in Nayi, Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, thinking that he would not be able to get any position if he went again, and heard that training would kill people, so he dispelled the idea.
Later, Cao Sanye formed a militia, robbed it, and paid a little military salary. Zhen Sanshan didn't want his brothers to nest in the mountains for the rest of his life, so he led the team down to find the third master, who was quite righteous, and immediately made arrangements for them to become regular Beiyang Army.
Originally, he thought that he was going to fight with the volunteers on the opposite side, but who knew that the volunteers on the opposite side suddenly left, and the originally tense Jinzhou suddenly only left the soldiers of the Beiyang Army, and the threat of war no longer existed.
It seems that the war will not be able to be fought, and their task now is to arrange for the refugees who have fled from the northeast. The third master has already spoken, tents, food, can not be missing, to ensure that none of the refugees die.
This job is really a bit rusty for Zhen Sanshan. In the past, he was robbing people and things, and you said that he was sure that one would not be kept, and that he would not die. Looking at the salutes carried by those refugees, as well as some beautiful girls and little daughters-in-law in the middle, he really had the urge to return to his old business.
Resisting this urge really made him very uncomfortable! Fortunately, the third master is also clear about these guys, on the one hand, he has formed a law enforcement team, and there are violations of discipline and oppression of the people. On the other hand, he also made a promise to Zhen Sanshan, as long as he did things well, he would be the standard.
This is why Zhen Sanshan's impulse has always been only in his heart. Every day, I help those fellows set up tents, chop firewood, and carry water, all in order to be a standard, so let's do it. As long as you become the standard, how much does it cost and how much does it cost to have a woman?
His work is quite dutiful, and his brothers can manage it. There weren't many people fleeing the past two days, but today there are suddenly more people. Early in the morning, he saw nearly 20,000 people outside the camp, and the dense crowd of human heads made him a little confused.
"Old man, all of you are from the Northeast?"
Zhen Sanshan pulled one of the old men in his sixties and asked. The old man nodded busily: "Back to the military master, the little old man's family is from Jinzhou, a few days ago I heard that Lao Maozi has occupied all the Heilongjiang, and the Japanese are also preparing to land in Liaoxi, if you don't go, you can't go." ”
Zhen Sanshan let out a sigh of relief: "What about your Commander Yang's volunteers?" ”
The old man said tremblingly: "Master Jun, how do I know? ”
Seeing him like this, Zhen Sanshan also knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he waved his hand to let the old man go, just thinking about what so many people should do by themselves. A soldier of the Beiyang Army ran over, and he recognized it as a personal soldier beside Cao Sanye.
"Zhen Sanshan, the third master asked you to set up a tent quickly! If the tent is not enough, use a wooden plank to block the wind! Hurry up! ”
Zhen Sanshan frowned: "How many people need to take it?" ”
The soldier looked at him: "There are more suspicious people now?" I'm telling you, a large number of refugees are on their way! General Wu said that there will definitely be more and more in the future, and it will take at least a month for this situation to happen. In a word, no matter what, you must ensure that none of them can die! This is Governor Yuan's order! Also, this thing for you. Stick it at the door for all refugees to see. ”
The soldiers threw over a notice, which said some words to appease the refugees, and Yuan Gong personally wrote the content. Zhen Sanshan couldn't recognize a word: "What is this?" ”
The soldier glared at him: "If you want to paste it, you can just paste it." Where did all this nonsense come from? I can tell you, if a reporter comes in a few days, don't make a mistake! ”
The contemptuous eyes of the pro-soldier made Zhen Sanshan very uncomfortable, and after the pro-soldier left, he spat on the ground: "Phew! Isn't it just bullying Lao Tzu for not knowing how to read? Wait until I become the standard. I'll clean you up slowly. ”
After saying that, he was about to set up a tent, and when he came out with more than 200 of his brothers, suddenly a young man stood up in the crowd next to him. The young man was wearing a suit and a pair of glasses, and his speech gave people a polite feeling: "May I ask the military master, where is the volunteer army on the other side?" ”
Zhen Sanshan looked the young man up and down: "You don't need to look for the volunteers, you will be safe when you get here." Rest assured, the Russians and Japanese will not fight here. ”
He was about to turn around when he finished speaking, but he noticed that the young man's expression seemed to be a little disappointed. To his surprise, the young man was disappointed for a moment and continued to walk on with the package on his back.
"Hey! You're on the wrong side, it's the Northeast, and there's a war going on! Don't you see the big guys walking this way? ”
The young man turned around and smiled at him: "That's right, I'm going to join the army." ”
Zhen Sanshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
It was not that they did not come to join the army in the past two days, and those people let them go to the northeast with a finger of his hand. But this kid in front of him also joined the army? He ran to the young man in a few steps and blocked the way, and looked at it with contempt in his eyes: "Surrendered? Do you know how to shoot? ”
Zeng Xiaoliang was a little embarrassed: "No." But I can do other things, I studied mechanical engineering in the UK, and I think I can help. ”
"Haha! It turned out to be a showman! ”
The people around Zhen Sanshan also laughed, and this laughter was a little harsh in Zeng Xiaoliang's ears, making him a little angry: "What's wrong with Xiucai?" If I want to shoot a gun, I can learn it, and I can guarantee that I will be able to fight no worse than others! ”
Zhen Sanshan suddenly reached out and took off Zeng Xiaoliang's glasses, put them on the ground and stepped on them: "Can you still see clearly, Xiucai?" ”
Zeng Xiaoliang was furious and rushed up to hug Zhen Sanshan's waist. His movements were too slow in Zhen Sanshan's eyes, and a big fall threw him to the ground, and he couldn't get up for half a day.
Looking at Zeng Xiaoliang, who was struggling on the ground, Zhen Sanshan untied a rifle from a brother behind him and threw it over: "Xiucai, if you want to find the volunteers, let's learn how to shoot first." You will follow me from tomorrow, Lao Tzu is going to be the standard, and there is just a shortage of a clerk. ”
Zeng Xiaoliang got up and threw the gun: "I won't do it!" I'm going to find the Volunteers! ”
Zhen Sanshan didn't talk nonsense with him: "You don't do it?" Let me tell you, Lao Tzu threw the gun to you, you are my soldier, if you don't do it, you will run away, I will treat you as a deserter, do you believe it? ”
A showman meets a bandit, and the result is certainly doomed. Zeng Xiaoliang stood there in a daze, very angry but didn't know how to express it, Zhen Sanshan smiled triumphantly: "Go, take him to change into a military uniform!" ”
Zeng Xiaoliang was still fighting, and two wolf-like guys came up and dragged him into the barracks to change clothes.
"I'm not going! I'm not the Beiyang Army! Let me go! ”
Looking at this Xiucai's struggling figure, Zhen Sanshan smiled bitterly on his face, and whispered: "Good haode Xiucai, what kind of life are you going to play?" ”
In this way, Zeng Xiaoliang, who wanted to go to the Northeast, became a Beiyang soldier here in Jinzhou. (To be continued......)
