Yang Xiaolin was thinking about his next battle plan, just like Naogami Matsubara thought, after inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese Second Army, he was not satisfied with the current result, and Commander Yang's eyes were fixed on the body of Nogi Noshinori of the Third Army.

Through the battle with the Japanese Second Army, Yang Xiaolin has seen that the wounds of little Japan in the Russo-Japanese War have not completely healed, although the firepower of their troops has become stronger than before, but the quality of the soldiers is slightly inferior to the beginning.

In the entire Second Army, only their main division, the Third Division, was a little more difficult to fight, and the remaining Sixth and Fourth Divisions could not be seen in the stage of blocking, but once they were surrounded by themselves, their soldiers' fighting ability and determination to die could not be compared with the Third Division at all. More than 20,000 people were sacrificed and less than 100 prisoners were captured, but in the battle to encircle and annihilate the 6th and 42th Divisions, more than 3,000 Japanese troops laid down their arms and surrendered on their own initiative.

Therefore, in formulating the operational policy against Nogi Noshinori, he demanded that the main division of the Third Army, the first division of the Japanese army, be broken first! Nogi Noshinori is now also putting on a jiashi to face the volunteers, and this guy also has a very special complex for the volunteers.

At the beginning, after the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army immediately launched an attack on Yang Xiaolin, and Nogi Noshinori was the pioneer at that time. The two battles of the Volunteers have impressed him so far. The war was forced to stop when the Japanese army's supplies in Dalian were destroyed by the volunteers, and Nogi Noshinori's footsteps were not able to cross into the Liaodong region at all, which he had been struggling with in the past few years.

So although the Second Army has no combat ability now, Nogi Noshinori still continues to think about Yang Xiaolin without fear to press over, he thinks that although Yang Fighting Ghost has won the Second Army, the Volunteer Army will inevitably be injured, and he still has a chance to win.

When the Third Army reached Xiuyan, Yang Xiaolin had already killed the Sixth Division, and the two sides immediately set up their positions and prepared to fight a hard-fought battle.

Nogi Noshinori also put his formation into a three-way rush, and the first division of the Japanese army, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, was placed in the middle by him. Just like Matsumura Takemoto's arrangement of the 3rd Division. But this is definitely not Nogi Noshinori's stupidity, but a provocation on his part! I'll put the same lineup as Matsumura, don't you have the ability to beat Matsumura? You come and hit me again.

Yang Xiaolin had already tapped his fingers several times on the location of the First Division on the map, but he could not finalize it in the end. Today, Nogi Noshinori's 1st Division advanced another 20 kilometers, and the distance between them and the rest of the Third Army had exceeded the gap between the 3rd Division and the Japanese forces on the left and right flanks. But at the beginning, Eimoto Shengjia took the main road, and the first division marched all the way along the foot of the mountain, if we wanted to encircle him, he could choose a suitable hill to defend on the spot at any time, and Nogi Noshinori must be ready at any time, it was very difficult to fight.

Another reason why Commander Yang couldn't make up his mind was that he was a little flustered in his heart.

He didn't know that he would panic. It's just that I always feel that something is wrong, as if there is always something very important that I haven't considered. It feels like a wolf, originally quietly walking on the grassland, stalking its own prey. But for no reason, I suddenly felt nervous, as if there was danger around me.

Where this panic came from, he couldn't figure it out. It's just that at this moment he has a very strong desire to run! Give up the battle with the Japanese Third Army, and immediately retreat to Liaodong and Changbai Mountain! Only when he entered the territory where he often moved. He can only feel safe.

When Cai Ye walked in with Tang Yulin's telegram, Yang Xiaolin was holding a cigarette in his hand, staring at the combat map with deep eyes, looking for it from place to place. He tried to find out where the emotion that made him uneasy came from, but he couldn't find a clue.

"Commander, Liaoping is in a hurry, and a large number of Russian troops have crossed Liaoping and driven west. Deputy Commander Zhang also sent a telegram. Between Jinzhou and Mukden, there were signs of the activity of small groups of Russian troops. ”

Yang Xiaolin didn't have any reaction on his face, his brows were still tightly locked, and he took the telegram and glanced at it: "It's to fight the Beiyang Army." ”

Cai Ye nodded: "I think so too." Yuan Shikai said in Beijing that he would send troops to Kulun. It is impossible for Lao Maozi to be without action. Do you think we should inform Yuan Shikai? Let him prepare in the Jinzhou area? ”

The corners of Yang Xiaolin's mouth flashed a sneer, he knew Lao Yuan very well, the older a person is, the more afraid of things, and the richer he is, the more afraid he is of death, but Lao Yuan is an old and rich person. The Chinese's recovery of Mongolia was originally a straightforward matter, but Yuan Shikai had to be so tactful, saying anything to quell the riots, and dreaming of controlling the war within a local scope.

It's like two people fighting, you wave your fist and want to save some strength, and at this time the person who falls is already predestined. Lao Maozi doesn't like a graceful way, 200,000 people rushed over at once, and Yang Xiaolin can conclude that the Beiyang Army will inevitably suffer a big loss.

But it doesn't matter, there are those gentlemen in Europe, those guys will not let the Russians go too far, and once the Beiyang Army is threatened, the British will definitely intervene to mediate. Yuan Shikai will not suffer any harm, but the Mongolian affairs are not expected to work on him at all, and he has to rely on himself and his own poor proletariat with only pants left.

Taizu said that the most proletarian is the most resolute in the revolution. That's true!

As for informing Lao Yuan, Yang Xiaolin will also do it. Anyway, Yuan Shikai didn't knife himself from behind this time, and he did a good job.

"Send a telegram to Yuan Shikai, and send another copy to Cao Kun in Jinzhou, as for what to do, it's up to them. Ordered Zhang Zuolin and Tang Yulin to immediately change the operational deployment that was previously formulated, and now we take the initiative to look for opportunities, once the Russians have any negligence, Lao Tzu will beat them hard! ”

Cai Ye nodded: "Yes." ”

Yang Xiaolin suddenly remembered that once the Russians marched into Jinzhou, there would inevitably be troops of Russian soldiers who would enter Mongolia, and Zaitao might be in danger at that time: "Songpo, Zaitao's troops have expanded to more than 10,000 people in Mongolia in the past few days, this is not a haode phenomenon, you send him a telegram and ask him to be more careful." Mongolia just needs the sound of gunshots, tell him. In a year, at the latest a year and a half, after I have cleaned up the Japanese here, I will immediately start a war with Lao Maozi, and then we will solve the Mongolian problem together. ”

Cai Yi said casually: "A year and a half may not be enough, and the Japanese will not be willing to admit defeat." Now the Russians are willing to watch us fight with the Japanese, and if they really fight us with the Japanese, I think we will be in a difficult situation right away, and it will probably take at least two years to get through the most difficult period. ”

Yang Xiaolin also knew that this battle was bound to be protracted before the war began, and Cai Songpo's words were to repeat what they had said before. But I don't know weishenme Yang Xiaolin suddenly felt a flash in his head.

The Japanese were not willing to admit defeat, and the Russians were willing to watch the Japanese and the Volunteers fight desperately. Will the Russians Weishenme believe that the Third Army can fight the Volunteers? Can't they see that Nogi Noshinori is in a good situation, isn't it? Don't the Japanese know that the Third Army alone can't help themselves at all?

These questions really made him suddenly feel like he had discovered something, and when he was thinking about things more carefully, Tai Wangu pushed open the door very inopportunely, and interrupted Yang Xiaolin's train of thought: "Report to the commander, something happened." The second pole smashed Liu Xianhe's division headquarters! ”

Yang Xiaolin's face changed greatly, and the inspiration that suddenly came suddenly didn't know where it flew: "What?!" What's going on! ”

The second pole had just been praised by Commander Yang, although Zhao Wen really expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the second pole's forcible rescue of Zhang Chun in front of several of them, saying that it was for the sake of the so-called righteousness and disregard for the overall situation. But as banditry started several main leaders of the Minutemen. But they all stood on the side of the second pole in this matter, not only did they not make any punishment, but they also felt that the pole was really good.

Yang Xiaolin also knew that although the 11th Division had preserved its structure, its combat effectiveness no longer existed. Therefore, after praising the second pole, he also deliberately transferred some people from among the recruits who were going to supplement Li Debiao and Liu Xian and them to supplement the 11th Division.

He also had a detailed discussion with the second pole yesterday. Let the second pole lead the team into Changbai Mountain first, run in and train his troops, this kid promised a good haode, I don't know if he will smash Liu Xianhe's division today?

In fact, this incident was caused by the new recruits who replenished the team. There is also Li Debiao in the middle!

This morning, the second pole went to Kong Landing to lead the recruits who had been replenished to the 11th Division. He had already heard Jin Dadao say before that these recruits were from Liaoxi. There are those from Liaodong, and some from Guannai.

According to the idea of the second pole, his team fought the worst and lost the most, and of course the matter of replenishing recruits should give priority to themselves. But when he saw the team standing in front of him, he only looked at it twice, and then he had no interest in looking down.

Walking to the middle of the group, he found a soldier holding a gun straight on his waist, and when the second pole approached, the boy raised his head high in order to make himself look more like a soldier, or rather, he wanted to express his pride as a volunteer strongly.

The second pole circled around him twice, squinted his eyes and said, "What's it called?" ”

"Report to the division commander, my name is Zhu Chengyong."

The soldier's voice was very loud, and the second pole took two steps back very exaggeratedly, and then buckled his ear: "Be quiet, I can hear it." Zhu Chengyong, this is a good name, who gave it to you? ”

Zhu Chengyong was honest, although he didn't understand that the division commander Weishenme asked him for this name, but he still answered truthfully, and the answer was very detailed: "Report to the division commander!" This name was given to me by my father, and the meaning is the national martyrdom of Chu Ci, who is both brave and martial, and finally strong and invincible. I came to the Northeast to join the Volunteer Army this time, just to defend the country! ”

Although Erzhuzi has learned a little culture, he is really quite unfamiliar with Chu Ci, and he can remember a few words of Song Ci. Scratching his head, the second pole didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the team to Kong Landing's side: "Master, we are old friends, will you supplement these recruits for me this time?" ”

Kong landed on the side and was settling accounts, calculating how many weapons and ammunition to be issued to the second pole. Hearing this, he raised his head: "Not bad, pole!" You see how energetic these young men are, you take them back to practice, and practice for a while. (To be continued......)
