Chapter Thirty-Eight

And Drov gave a military salute, turned around and walked forward, and it was only at this time that the movement of the Russian troops suddenly became obvious, and the Russian soldiers of the three regiments suddenly appeared on the horizon as if they had come out of the ground, and rushed towards the Chinese defense line.

Wu Zhaolin was preparing to attack, and the echelons were already lined up, but he suddenly found that a large number of Russian troops appeared in front of him, and the Russians took the initiative to press up against the Chinese position!

Lao Maozi wanted to fight a surprise attack by the Chinese defenders here, and they even omitted the procedure of opening the way with artillery fire, just for the sake of suddenness. So there was no tactics to play, two regiments of the Fifth Army of the Siberian Corps, three regiments of the Fourteenth Army, with a total strength of nearly 10,000 people, spread out on a five-kilometer front and approached the positions of the Chinese troops as quickly as possible.

The two fronts were not far apart, and the Russians were moving quickly to the ground, and Wu Zhaolin didn't even have time to make any tactical adjustments.

He kind of got it! He cursed: "Damn, it seems that we thought of going with the Russians!" Lao Maozi also wants to give us a dismount, they are either Changping or Shunyi! ”

Xiong Bingkun said: "Commander, Lao Maozi looks like there are a lot of people, are you still fighting?" ”

At this time, the Russians no longer hid their strength, looking at these Russians emerging from the horizon, and then looking at the position of the Russian army is completely different from just now, the shaking heads are as dense as ants, and the place behind the Russian position is dusty, obviously their artillery is entering the position.

Wu Zhaolin really couldn't figure out how many Russian troops were on the opposite side. If the situation allows, he is now very keen to cancel the plan of this surprise attack, and to defend steadily before finding out the strength and intentions of the Russians.

But he didn't have time to think, and in the blink of an eye the Russian stormtroopers were in front of his position. The Russians at the front did not even hide it anymore and let out a throat-ripping cry: "Ula! ”

Wu Zhaolin didn't know how he made his choice, but his absolute troops were ready to attack, and his soldiers didn't have much experience in battlefield response.

And he had a feeling that the Russians on the other side didn't seem to be so scary. This instinct led him to give the order: "Old bear, rush forward!" ”

Xiong Bingkun did not hesitate at all, the Russians were only more than a hundred meters away from their position. A burst of gunfire rang out from the position, and the figures of the brave Russian soldiers who were rushing forward immediately fell to the ground!

Then Xiong Bingkun put the rifle on one end and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!" ”

The Russian officers who led the charge thought they were only being resisted by the Chinese troops. The firepower configuration of the Chinese is being observed, and it is trying to find a suitable breakthrough. At this time, thousands of Chinese soldiers shouted and pounced on the Russians.

The Russians were really a little confused, and they didn't even react to what was going on, and the two troops collided together!

It can be said that Xiong Bingkun's attack was quite reluctant, many soldiers in this team were on the battlefield for the first time, although they wanted to repay the country with death before carrying their guns, but when it really came to the rain of bullets, many people's tactical actions were still quite powerful.

Some even stood there knowing how to go, and were there shouting.

Like them, the Russian troops on the front line, and they didn't know what was going on with these Chinese Russian troops who suddenly appeared, and the commanders on the front obviously felt that the generals had misjudged the strength of the Chinese side.

In the face of this sudden variable, some of the Russian troops looked at the situation and wondered whether they could withdraw. Some wanted to continue the attack, while others hurried to the rear to ask what they should do! The Chinese who rushed to the battlefield moved out of shape. Lao Maozi's footsteps were equally uncoordinated, the two sides had just come into contact, and the battle was evenly fought.

The muscles on General Aliwanbski's face were already stiff, his expression was as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world, his eyes stared blankly ahead, and he was stunned for a few minutes without speaking!

It wasn't until a stray bullet hit the wall of the observation post he was on that he woke up.

The first thing Aliwan Buski did was to quickly pick up his telescope and look at the Chinese trenches, and at this time he also saw that the heads of the people in the Chinese trenches were densely packed, and the steel helmets unique to Chinese soldiers were moving!

"What's going on! Can anyone tell me what's going on! ”

Ali Wanbsky was almost roaring, and Lieutenant General Kidrov, who was in charge of directing the attack, ran over at this time, and he gasped in a rough voice: "General! General Ali Wan Buski! My troops were counterattacked by the Chinese, and they have a large number of soldiers here! Stationed here is definitely not a division, I can assure you! ”

Without him having to explain anything, General Aliwanbski had already seen it, but he immediately realized that he could not change his original tactics. Just as Wu Zhaolin had no choice when he found that the Russians suddenly rushed up, General Ali Wanbski did not know that the Chinese had sent a lot of troops.

But he knew that he had been preparing for the attack, and the defense was not perfect.

At this time, retreat can only allow the opponent to reap the fruits of victory more smoothly, and may even cause the entire battle to be defeated. He grabbed Edrov by the collar: "Increase the attack power immediately!" Rush up! Kill the Chinese! ”

After saying that, he shouted at the signal soldier again: "Contact General Kilingsky immediately, and say that I ask for reinforcements!" The main force of the Chinese is here! Tell the general that we met the main forces of the Chinese! ”

Beijing.

Yang Xiaolin just received a call from Wu Zhaolin, General Wu briefly reported the matter, not bad, in the report Wu Zhaolin did not have any concealment, he told Yang Xiaolin that this time the assault operation must have failed, and the head-on collision with the Russians irreversibly occurred, he said that he did not know anything about the situation of the Russian troops. Even if he is doing his best now, there is no guarantee that he will be able to win.

Therefore, Wu Zhaolin asked Commander Yang to quickly arrange the next defensive front. Once you lose the battle, you will not let the whole situation collapse.

Yang Xiaolin heard him say on the phone, and he didn't know what answer to give Wu Zhaolin. When General Wu finished speaking and continued to command the battle, Commander Yang burst out of his mouth: "Fuck it!" I finally know why Sun Wen and Li Yuanhong don't like Wu Zhaolin anymore! ”

Cai Ye and Jiang Baili were standing behind Yang Xiaolin just now, and the two of them heard what General Wu said on the phone, and at this time they looked at each other, and Jiang Baili said, "Commander." I think Wu Zhaolin is right, there is no room to retreat when the battlefield encounters such a situation, and all the preparations for the attack are ready. Abandoning the attack plan is tantamount to giving up the opportunity to take the initiative on the battlefield. ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled bitterly: "Of course I know. He didn't do anything wrong, and I'm sure he didn't want to fight the Russians now. Some people are like this, he didn't want to make trouble, but he was the one who stirred up trouble every time! ”

Cai Ye and Jiang Baili felt that Commander Yang's words were really right. Since the Wuchang Revolution, Wu Zhaolin's troops have been constantly making trouble. They have a high-sounding reason every time. But the real reason is Wu Zhaolin, this person's heart is restless.

He always wants to be a little better than others. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Yang Xiaolin pondered for a moment: "Order the Second Group Army to go to Beijing immediately, and Zhang Lao Wu should not return to Langfang!" This kid has smashed a dung pit open with a stick, and if he can't cover it, we'll have to have enough troops to fill the hole!" ”

"Then how did Wu Zhaolin reply?"

"Tell him not to think about anything in the rear, Lao Tzu will do things well for him, and let him beat me hard."

The reaction from the Russians was similar. Kizerosky was a little stunned at first when he knew that the surprise attack he had planned had suddenly crashed into the main forces of the Third Front. But then he immediately realized that this was a great opportunity!

As long as he can inflict heavy damage on the main force of China's Third Front Army, he will completely disrupt the ladder tactics of Yang Dagui's turns. As long as the footsteps of the Chinese troops are chaotic, the fighter may be in front of them.

Kizerosky hurriedly ordered the Russian troops on the front line to suppress the offensive of the Chinese troops, and he also began to organize reinforcements in the rear, preparing to continue to enter the Shunyi battlefield.

In this way, the original raid battle was fought into a partial decisive battle by the two sides, and who can win this battle, although it can not say that it can determine the direction of the entire war, but at least it can decide whether Yang can keep up with the ladder of fighting ghosts, and whose legs will go down according to the pace of the war.

This sudden battle alarmed Yuan Shikai. Lao Yuan is actually quite good, since Commander Yang commanded the troops, he has never interfered in combat matters. However, asking does not mean that he doesn't know anything, and it doesn't mean that Yuan Shikai doesn't understand.

In the army, Lao Yuan was actually paying attention, Wu Zhaolin suddenly made a big deal of it, and Lao Yuan understood very well what this war meant to China.

"Xiaolin, are you sure?"

After entering the Supreme Command, Yuan Shikai asked this question directly, then sat on the chair with his buttocks, and stared at the combat map in front of him carefully.

Yang Xiaolin shook his head lightly: "I haven't prepared at all here, this time I'm really careless!" How sure you are that guy only depends on Wu Zhaolin, depending on how well he fights. ”

Lao Yuan is also a person who understands military affairs, and his finger clicked on the position of Tianjin: "Can you let Feng Guozhang's troops take the initiative to contain the Russians?" ”

Yang Xiaolin looked at him: "Yuan Gong, the Russians will definitely continue to invest their troops, what we can do now is not to save Wu Zhaolin, I can support him if he fights well, but if he doesn't fight well, we can only abandon the defense line from Changping to Shunyi." ”

Lao Yuan let out a sigh: "In other words, the Russians' shells can directly hit the city of Beijing, right?" ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded.

Yuan Shikai stared at the map for a long time, and found that Yang Xiaolin's current troop mobilization was already preparing for the defense of Beijing City, and it was obvious that once the situation was unfavorable, Yang Dagui would rather lose his son than let the Russians master the rhythm of this game of chess.

"Good! Good! I still feel at ease about your war, there is something I want to tell you, it was Sun Wen who asked me to tell you. He's done a good job of diplomacy during this time, and you're not wrong. Sun Wen asked me to tell you that he was going to talk to Zhu Erdian again, and the British didn't say a word when we last made a statement, and Sun Wen said that it meant that the British were hesitating, and if we could make concessions and guarantee British interests in China economically, maybe the British would be willing to reopen negotiations with us. ”

After hearing this, Yang Xiaolin understood that the concessions that Sun Wen said to ensure the interests of Britain must be huge, and even Sun Wen understood that it was impossible for him to accept it, so he asked Yuan Shikai to say hello to him first.

Yang Xiaolin squinted at Lao Yuan: "Duke Yuan, that is to say, maybe we have to accept the treaty signed by the British and the Manchus in its entirety, right?" (To be continued......)
