Chapter 136: Blitzkrieg (1) (Subscription Requested)
Shi Xiaowu was joking, but he generally doesn't like to laugh very much.
The soldiers under him all said that he was like a stone, and it was rare to smile on weekdays. In fact, Shi Xiaowu just didn't dare to get too close to them, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch them on the battlefield one day, and his heart would hurt.
Gently patted Song Jifa's shoulder: "Jifa, don't go out of the barracks again tomorrow, it's going to be a war, be careful." ”
The situation of the Russo-Japanese War did not follow the judgment of Yang Xiaolin and Cai Yi, and the Japanese army immediately launched a roundabout outflanking of the group army on the left flank of the Russians after capturing Haicheng County, and the intention of eating more than 60,000 people on the left flank of the Russians was already very obvious.
The Russians only now realized that something was wrong, but Commander Kuropatkin did not panic, because he believed that he had enough reserves at his disposal, and that the throw of these reserves into any battlefield would change the unfavorable situation there.
In this battle, the Japanese mobilized 10 divisions, the Russians concentrated 15 divisions, and the two sides fought against the bleak cold wind in the northeast on a 10-kilometer-wide front along the Taizi River. The sound of gunfire and screams mingled into a sad music, like a wail in hell, and flowed into the distance with the waters of the Prince River.
At midnight on February 23, the reinforced Russian troops were never able to cross the Japanese blocking line, and just ten kilometers away from the Russian reinforcements, the Japanese received an order from the chief of the General Staff, Izumi Kodama Taro, to launch a general attack on the left flank of the encircled Russians.
The Japanese ran out of shells. The shells rained down on the heads of the encircled Russians. It's like thousands of heavy thunders rolling by! For a while, the Russians felt that the sky was falling apart, and the whole position was full of flesh and blood!
The trenches, pillboxes and fortifications of the front line also lost their ability to defend. The Japanese swept over the Russians' positions like locusts, and although Lao Maozi desperately resisted in a desperate situation, they could not save their fate!
By noon the next day, Lieutenant General Nobayev of the Russian Left Wing Army had been killed, eleven had five dead, and six had chosen to surrender to the Japanese after Zuihou had no ability to resist.
The little Japanese adventure finally succeeded, they swallowed the 60,000 troops of the Russians in one gulp, the contrast of the strength of the two sides on the battlefield changed significantly, and the flanks of Liaoyang were completely exposed under the muzzles of the Japanese cannons.
It is worth mentioning. There was still one force on the left flank of the Russians that broke out of the encirclement, and that was the troops under the command of Colonel Mardinov. The colonel was really good, he knew how to judge the opponent's movements with his own experience, and when he sensed that the Japanese were about to launch a general attack, he made arrangements in advance. When the Japanese rushed up, they stepped into the trap he had arranged.
The colonel not only repelled the Japanese attack, but also fought his way out of the small Japanese encirclement with a counter-charge. At that time, he wanted to inform the team next to him to escape through the gap he had opened, but his radio station was broken, the signal flare was also lost, and the surrounding Japanese surrounded him like crazy, and the colonel could only escape alone with his team.
This is the only surviving fully formed unit of the Russians.
Colonel Mardynov tried his best, he could not change the whole situation of the battle, and he later agonized about his mistakes, if he had taken care to protect the radio station, to pay attention to the flares. Even if there is only one flare, maybe the outcome of this battle will be changed.
More than 30,000 people were killed in battle, more than 20,000 were captured by the Japanese army, and the Russians tasted the greatest bitter fruit since the beginning of the war!
It is said that Izumi Taro Kodama did not sleep all night when he was far away in Japan, and when he knew that the victory on the battlefield had reached Japan, he went to rest with a satisfied smile on his face. …,
The next thing is simple, Lushun is already in the pocket of the Russians, and what they have to do now is to wipe out the hundreds of thousands of people brought out by Lieutenant General Kendrachev in the open space between Lushun and Liaoyang!
On February 25, the Japanese Fifth Army began a counter-offensive against Lieutenant General Kendrachev. On the 28th, the Japanese Second Army. The Fourth Army was outflanked from both flanks. At the same time, the Japanese Third Army was stationed on the edge of Liaoyang City, watching the Russian troops in Liaoyang City, so that the Russians did not dare to rush out to Liaoyang to support Lieutenant General Kendrachev.
On 5 March, the Japanese formed an encirclement of more than 100,000 men and horses of Lieutenant General Kendrachev. The Russian troops in Lushun were killed from Lushun because there were no supplies, and they originally thought that they could kill Little Japan together with the Russians in Liaoyang, but Little Japan did not kill them. Now they themselves are surrounded. No food, no reinforcements. Lao Maozi was demoralized for a while, and the entire army was filled with the smell of defeat.
Yang Xiaolin is finally going to end this period of peace, if he wants, he can still wait for the Russians and the Japanese to finish fighting, and then the victor will end his peace. But he didn't want to do that, and sometimes it was better to break the thing of peace with his own hands.
All the troops had been concentrated, and all the regiment commanders were sitting in front of Yang Xiaolin, scooping a tree trunk stripped of bark in his hand and pointing to the location of Mukden on the map hanging behind him: "The Japanese First Army still has 64,000 people, and the Russians have arranged three fronts around Mukden, should we all have those fronts?" p> shallow J Yu Yu 蛭 Xuan Write the Tomb of the Tomb of the Emperor of > He paused here as he spoke, his eyes looked at Qian Yao, and Qian Yao's eyes were also looking directly at Yang Xiaolin, revealing a trace of heat in his eyes. "Qian Yao, the last time this guy beat you for more than ten days, was he angry?" Qian Yaohu stood up suddenly: "Commander! Let me this guy! ” The movements are very much like that of a soldier, but there is still that vulgar habit between the words he speaks, which Cai Yi did not correct them. Yang Xiaolin nodded, and the stick moved along Guchengzi Town towards Zhujiatunzi, and stopped in the middle: "Hit here!" One intersperses to knock him through, and the Russians will do the rest for you. ” Qian Yao shook his head: "Yes!" ” The wooden stick was transferred to a little to the north: "From Li Shi to Gaokan, although this area is not long, but the battle is very fierce, Akberil has always hoped to make a breakthrough here, but the defense of the Inoue Hikari Division is very tenacious, relying on the support of the 1st Brigade of Field Artillery, blocking Akberil's offensive." Captain Lu Laoliu! Captain Zhang Zuolin! ” Lu Lao Liu and Zhang Zuolin stood up with the voice, and put their hands straight at their sides. Yang Xiaolin said: "You two take the troops to raid the Japanese artillery, kill it for me!" ” "Yes!" "One regiment, three regiments, five regiments, headquarters guard regiment!" Lu Laoqi, Biao Zi, Sui Bing, and Tang Yulin all stood up. Yang Xiaolin's eyes swept over their faces: "Kuroki Weizhen's headquarters is in the Wanghua area, and around the headquarters is the Japanese Second Division, 17,000 people. Let's go kill him! ” "Yes!" Cai Ye asked at this time: "Commander, don't you leave any reserve troops?" ” The corners of Yang Xiaolin's mouth flashed with a sneer: "There is nothing to prepare, this time Lao Tzu also learned from the Japanese, so he will and sell his hair with a hammer!" ” Yang Xiaolin believed in the combat ability of his soldiers, and after Qian Yao broke through the defense line of Jiaodao Chongxiong, the Russians would inevitably cooperate with him to launch a counterattack. Then Lu Laoqi and Zhang Zuolin killed the Japanese artillery brigade, which would greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the Japanese. …, At that time, if he went to attack the Japanese headquarters again, if Akberil had no way to turn over in such a situation, Lao Maozi would not be Lao Maozi. "Let's go!" Yang Xiaolin gave an order, and the people in the room responded in unison: "Yes!" ” Just as they were about to leave, Nyerere suddenly walked in from outside, and after entering the door, there was a military salute: "Commander, the Japanese Chief of Staff Fujii Shigeta is here." ” Yang Xiaolin's heart was startled at first, and then he suddenly thought of something, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes: "It's just right!" Lao Tzu wants to show him the military parade! ” On March 9, Kuroki held a small celebration reception in his headquarters to celebrate their upcoming victory. Originally, there was no habit of holding drinking parties in the Japanese army, but the military department gave Kuroki this privilege. Because he has a lot of foreign observers here, as well as foreign journalists. The Japanese military department has to do more in this area of public relations than the Russians haode. They asked Kuroki to do something that only Westerners would do, so that Japan could gain the approval of Western shijie. Only Japanese officers of the rank of Osa or above can participate, and Kuroki Weizhen's heart is very clear, like those middle- and low-level Japanese officers, in fact, they are dirt buns who have never seen the world, let them come, it will be ugly. The soothing sound of music made Mr. Max Hauffman feel the romantic atmosphere of Europe again, and the champagne in his hand exuded an attractive aroma, Mr. Hauffman put it in his mouth and tasted it, and the taste was very good. It was already a great surprise to him that he could still participate in such a drinking party in this war-torn place. The fly in the ointment is that there are no European girls in it. Although Kuroki Weizhen deliberately found some tall North Korean women and Chinese women to come over in order to liven up the atmosphere, those women looked very cramped, sitting on the side and not moving, more like wooden stakes. On the contrary, the family members of some Japanese officers would take the initiative to come to him to dance, but Mr. Hao Fuman looked at the short size of those Japanese women, as if they were only up to his waist, and he really didn't know how to hug these women, and of course he didn't have any interest in hunting for beauty. Hamilton walked over: "Hey! Hao Fuman, I heard that you are going to be promoted after you go back this time, right? ” Haverman shrugged his shoulders: "You British people are really very well-informed, but I don't think you should focus on us in Germany." ” Hamilton smiled and slammed his glass with Haverman: "This damn war is coming to an end, and we are celebrating that we can return to Europe anyway."
