When the Russian army approached again, Lin Yuan said: "It's now, spread out the tent." ”

With an order, the two soldiers rode horses, and in the open space behind the trench, they unfolded the carefully prepared surrender tent, and the big characters on it appeared vividly in front of the Russian soldiers, Lin Yuan raised the binoculars, and from the binoculars he saw the surprised expressions of the Russian soldiers.

At this time, the Russian army was still about one hundred and fifty meters away from the front trench, and they saw a big flag-like thing appear behind, and there was a line of big Russian characters on it, if it was in the past, Lin Yuan's strategy would not have worked at all, although the level of national education in Russia at this time far exceeded that of China, but the majority of the army was illiterate.

However, after being defeated by Lin Yuan, Grogerko thought that the soldiers' poor will to fight was the main reason for the defeat, so he decided to make them more loyal to the empire through education, so he arranged people in the army to teach the soldiers to read, but he didn't expect that the goal of loyalty to the empire was not achieved, but it helped Lin Yuan a lot. When the Russian soldiers saw the words of surrender and avoid death, they all moved their minds, advancing and retreating are a dead end, it is better to surrender, but they don't know whether what is written on the road is true or false, so they don't dare to believe it, but they also slowed down their pace, and when they reached a hundred meters away from the position, they had not yet launched a charge according to the original way of fighting.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Why don't they put down their guns and surrender?" I must not know the truth of the Dao, I can't believe it, it's okay, I'll help you again. ”

Lin Yuan wanted a loudspeaker and shouted in Russian at the Russian soldiers in front of the position: "I am Ivan of the 24th Brigade, the Chinese are very good to us, you should also come over." ”

As soon as Lin Yuan's voice came out, several Russian soldiers began to believe it, and one soldier threw down his gun and ran towards the position of the Chinese troops with his hands raised.

As soon as the Russian soldiers ran into the trenches, the soldiers immediately rushed up, pointed guns at him, and escorted him to the back, and the other soldiers saw that the Chinese really did not kill the surrendered soldiers, and they raised their hands high and ran to the trenches, and the supervising teams behind did not react, let alone shoot, and after a while, more than a hundred Russian soldiers ran over and surrendered.

Seeing this, the Russian army behind hurriedly ordered to stop the attack and retreat back, Lin Yuan saw the Russian army retreating, and ordered Su Min on the side: "It's now, order the troops to pursue!" ”

Su Min then gave an order, the soldiers jumped out of the trenches and rushed to the Russian army, according to Lin Yuan's requirements, the troops had already taught the soldiers the Russian slogan of "surrender the gun and don't kill", and each soldier memorized it well, so they all shouted the Russian sentence and rushed towards the Russian army.

The Russian soldiers had long lost their fighting spirit, and when they heard the slogan of "surrender the gun and not kill" that sounded all over the mountains, they simply threw away the gun, knelt on the ground, and raised their hands in surrender.

Lin Yuan calculated the time, and after the troops chased after him for half an hour, he said to Su Min: "Order the troops, stop the pursuit." ”

Su Min said: "This is a good opportunity to completely annihilate the Russian army, why don't we chase it?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Now is not the time to completely annihilate the Russian army, let the troops accumulate strength." ”

Lin Yuan said to Su Min: "Promote this method in the whole division, and it will definitely have an effect." Sure enough, in the next two days of fighting, the number of surrendered Russian troops exceeded a thousand.

On November 19, Lin Yuan received news from the Second Independent Brigade, in order to keep the communication unimpeded, Lin Yuan specially sent Li Kai to the Second Independent Brigade as a special liaison. ”

Li Kai said: "Our 2nd Independent Brigade has occupied Beacon Hill, and the Russian army has no defenders here, and in the process of marching, we have not attrition, our weapons are intact, and there is sufficient ammunition. Lin Yuan said: "Very good, ready to attack at any time." Lin Yuan thought to himself: "At this time, the independent second brigade has already occupied the retreat of the right flank of the Russian army, as long as the second brigade of the first division also reaches the designated position, then the retreat of the left flank of the Russian army will also be cut off, and the entire Russian army will be completely surrounded by our army." ”

At this moment, the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division sent a message: "The troops have seized Qingyun Mountain, the left flank passage of the Russian army!" The troops did not meet with strong resistance from the Russian army. ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "On the current battlefield, the Russian army has about 36,000 people, and our army has about 20,000 people. Lin Yuan also has a trump card, that is, the first artillery battalion, Lin Yuan first contacted Yao Feng and said: "You lead the first artillery battalion to build a firing position near Shiba Village, and be sure to complete the launch preparations before nine o'clock in the evening!" ”

Yao Feng replied: "Understood! ”

At nine o'clock in the evening, Yao Feng reported to Lin Yuan: "Ready!" ”

Lin Yuan immediately ordered: "Start shelling!" ”

The first artillery battalion immediately opened fire on the barracks, ammunition depots, and transport lines of the 102nd division of the Russian army on the opposite side, and on the cold winter night, the artillery fire lit up the entire night sky, and the Russian army never thought that the Chinese troops would have such a strong counterattack, and they were defeated for a while, and there was chaos in the command at all levels.

The shelling ended after half an hour, and the units of the Third Division then launched an attack on the whole line of the Russian army, as the battle progressed, Lin Yuan was engrossed in staring at the situation on the battlefield in the command headquarters, and gradually, his face became solemn, because he found that the attack of the troops was greatly resisted, and in an hour, the troops had not advanced a kilometer! This couldn't help but make Lin Yuan a little anxious, the two roundabout troops went deep behind the enemy, and the amount of ammunition they carried was only enough to last for seven days, at this rate, it was impossible to meet the roundabout troops in a month.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This is not right, with the morale and weapons and equipment of the Russian army, it is impossible for them to resist so stubbornly, what happened?" Lin Yuan hurriedly contacted Zhang Xiaoguang and said, "What's the matter?" Why did you play so badly? ”

Zhang Xiaoguang said: "According to the reaction of the front-line soldiers, the Russian army seems to be possessed by ghosts, and the will to fight suddenly becomes very strong, and many people rush up with bayonets to fight with our soldiers. ”

Lin Yuan turned off the communicator and thought to himself, "What's going on?" There are several reasons why a unit's will to fight suddenly increases, one of which is the spiritual encouragement, just like the motivation of the soldiers of the Sixth Division, which is basically impossible for the Russian army. "The second is material rewards, but although material rewards can play a role in motivating the will to fight, they are not very powerful, especially when the enemy is strong enough to take people's lives at any time, after all, no matter how much money there is, it is useless."

Lin Yuan thought about it, and always felt that he couldn't figure it out, and suddenly, a thought popped up, and he thought, "Could it be this?" ”

Lin Yuan immediately called the soldiers of the guard company and came to the prisoner of war camp together, the so-called prisoner of war camp is a house to protect from the wind and cold, and there are guards outside, Lin Yuan has long known that the Russians will surrender in large numbers, so he let people build a lot of such houses.

The prisoner of war camp was not far from the front line, and the sound of guns and artillery was deafening, so although it was already late at night, the prisoners of war had not yet slept, Lin Yuan found a few prisoners of war and asked, "Would you like to do me a favor?" ”
