Chapter 123: Building a Railway (Subscription Requested)
The Russians and the Japanese continued to fight, although Kuroki Weizhen achieved the strategic goal of the Japanese after breaking through the defense line of Akberil, but compared with the Russo-Japanese War in history, the losses of the First Army were too heavy, in fact, they had no way to threaten the safety of Liaoyang and Mukden, at most they threatened the Russians' transportation lines.
But that's enough to change the current tide of the war. For more than half a month, Japan did what Yang Xiaolin had done, and Kuroki Weizhen didn't touch Liaoyang and Fengtian, so he picked up Lao Maozi's railroad tracks and bombed the Russians' supplies. Lao Maozi's logistics were immediately seriously affected, and when their bullets and shells were no longer so abundant, the semi-automatic rifles in their hands could not exert their advantage in firepower.
The Japanese Third Army held off the Russian attack at Arthur, held that beachhead, and did not let Lao Maozi drive them into the sea. Little Japan hurriedly sent reinforcements from the mainland to reinforce the Third Army so that they could stabilize their positions. At the same time, the Second Army, which had landed in the direction of Dalian, rapidly advanced northward, intending to engage in a decisive battle with the Russian forces near Lushun, which were struggling with supplies.
The First Army was also reinforced, and its combat effectiveness slowly recovered, and they began to attack all the way west, putting pressure on the Russian forces in Liaoyang and Mukden, forcing the Russians to not reinforce the battlefield in Arthur.
Seriously wounded, Naogami Matsubara was treated like a hero, and Kuroki personally sent a telegram to the military headquarters for him, and at the same time sent troops to send him back to Korea to recuperate from his wounds. According to reliable sources, little Japan has formed another mixed division in Korea, which is composed of some Japanese soldiers and some Korean soldiers, as well as some Chinese living in Korea, who are now undergoing training, if Naokami Matsubara's injuries heal quickly. He will be the most popular candidate for division commander in this division.
Of course, Lao Maozi was not idle, and Commander Kuropatkin made a decision at this time. The attack on the Japanese Third Army was stopped, and all the troops were concentrated in a few key cities for defense.
This method can minimize his own material consumption, and at the same time, he also organized 100,000 Russian troops in Heilongjiang, as long as the problem of transportation routes is solved, these 100,000 Russian troops can fight south at any time, and once again tilt the tide of war in favor of the Russians.
The war was still the Russo-Japanese War, but the course was completely different from what it was historically. Because of Yang Xiaolin's existence, the Japanese hook did not have such a good effect, and Lushun's old Maozi could still hold on, and his momentum was like a rainbow. The First Army was also unable to penetrate deep between Mukden and Liaoyang to completely cut off the Russian army. The situation of the war has become very confusing, and Yang Xiaolin doesn't know if his answer is still correct, but as long as Lao Maozi and Little Japan fight fiercely, it will be a good thing for him.
After the Russians were cut off the northern transport routes. Colonel Desi Jianshi Novich came to the mountain again.
"Dear Yang, it's nice that we meet again."
Mr. Colonel's face always had such a friendly smile, which was completely different from his arrogance in front of Zaitao, he had already stretched out his hand, so enthusiastic that Yang Xiaolin could hardly believe that the first to put the hat of beast on himself were the Russians in front of him.
"Mr. Colonel, I have prepared all the mines you wanted, 11,000, 10,000 were bought by you, and the remaining 1,000 were given by me. What do you think? Enough friends, right? ”
Colonel Desi Jianshi Novochic nodded: "I won't talk about xiexie, in your words, that's a bit out of sight, isn't it?" ”
Yang Xiaolin had a cigarette in his mouth and looked at this Russian with his eyes, could it be that his relationship with the Russian was really good to the point that it was needless to say? …,
Colonel Desi Jianshi Novich was still very enthusiastic: "Yang, I have other things to discuss with you this time. ”
"What's the matter?"
"It's about our shipping lines. You know, now the Japanese are messing up our transport lines. It has been a week since there has been a train from the north to Mukden, and we are in a very bad situation. ”
At this point, his smile narrowed a little, his eyes showed a hint of solemnity, and he secretly glanced at Yang Xiaolin. Yang Xiaolin said: "I know, your army should have a way to solve this problem, right? ”
Colonel Desi Jiansnovich immediately said: "Yes, General Ackberil has said before, the most haode way is to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, and we will also cut off the supply line of the Japanese First Army!" You know, they're alone, and we can do that easily. ”
The expression on Yang Xiaolin's face immediately changed, and his eyes stared at Colonel Desi Jianshi Northic, without saying a word.
The colonel patted him on the shoulder: "But we take into account that the Japanese transport lines pass through your territory, and General Akberlil is not willing to destroy our friendship, so even if the situation is very dangerous, the general does not want to have an unpleasant misunderstanding with you." ”
Lao Maozi is so talented, anything can be related to Yang Xiaolin and their friendship, which makes people who don't know how righteous they think the Russians are more righteous when they hear it.
Yang Xiaolin's eyes softened a little, and Colonel Desi Jianshi Savic continued: "However, don't you think this is a little unfair to us? Truth be told, as a friend, you shouldn't protect our enemies. ”
What should I say when Lao Maozi says this? Tell him that this is his own territory, and he can go to whomever he wants? That was what Yang Xiaolin did before.
Now Mr. Yang is much more mature, and although his diplomatic methods are not so sophisticated, he has learned to listen to the meaning behind other people's words. Yang Xiaolin's head was rapidly spinning with various thoughts, and he slowly sorted out a line of thought, he kind of understood what Lao Maozi was doing when he came this time.
"Colonel, it stands to reason that based on our friendship, I should help you. However, the Japanese went to tell me about the haode in advance, and it was clearly written in black and white, they gave money, and their troops did abide by the rules in my territory, at least I haven't noticed any small moves from them yet. I really want to help you kill them, really, I don't believe you ask the people around me, I heard that I was going to do it after they picked up your railroad tracks, but then I thought it wasn't very good. ”
Of course, Colonel Desi Jianshi Novich would not ask the people around Yang Xiaolin. He didn't believe that what the bandit said was true, so he hurriedly raised his hands and waved them and said, "No." No, dear Yang, I think you misunderstood me, I have always regarded you as my best friend, of course I know you. Imagine how I could make a request that would embarrass you? ”
Yang Xiaolin looked very grateful: "Colonel, then you should be happy, and if you want me to help you, just say it!" ”
"We want to reopen a transportation line, which also passes through your territory, that is, from Jilin, to Fengtian."
Yang Xiaolin's smile slowly bloomed at the corner of his mouth: "No problem!" ”
Desi Jianshi Novavic was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Yang to agree so simply!
You must know that most of the depth of Yang Xiaolin's base is now in Changbai Mountain. The county seat outside is almost a narrow strip of land around the Changbai Mountains.
The supply routes of the Russians and the Japanese are different, the Japanese almost all the way through the Changbai Mountain, after coming out, they pass through a Baishan County, and then pass through Tonghua, and they will immediately arrive in Fushun. And the supplies of the Russians came from Jilin. You have to travel through almost all of Yang Xiaolin's county, because that's the best way to go. …,
If Yang Dagui let the Russians find a way out of these counties, then if Lao Maozi wanted to mobilize the volunteers in the future, he could quickly crush him in Changbai Mountain. Strategically speaking, Desi Jianshi Novic thought that Yang would not agree, so he made such a big turn.
He originally thought that it would be very difficult for him to complete such a task, but he never expected Yang Xiaolin to agree so happily. What surprised him even more was that Yang Xiaolin thought for a while and said, "Let's discuss the route, some roads may not be easy to walk." It doesn't matter, let's repair it together and fix the road. If you wish, we can build a railroad through all the counties in my base area. ”
The colonel's mouth was wide open, and he actually forgot to answer Yang Xiaolin's proposal for a while. Building a railway? Lao Maozi has wanted to do this for a long time. Before the Gengzi Incident happened, they hoped to build a few more railways, but the Qing government did not agree.
Yang Dagui is much tougher than the Qing Dynasty government, and the Qing government has not promised that he can be so happy? Desi Jianshi Novavic really doesn't believe it.
"Colonel, Colonel?"
Yang Xiaolin called twice in succession, and the colonel came back to his senses: "Dear Yang, is what you said true?" ”
Yang Xiaolin threw the cigarette butt to the ground: "Of course it's true." ”
Colonel Desi Jianshi Novich patted himself on the head: "This, this, please wait a little and give me a little time?" I brought a telegraph, and I immediately sent a telegram to General Akberlil, you know that the matter of this railway is very big, and I cannot be the master, and the general cannot be the master, and we must ask the commander. Believe me, I think the commander will definitely say yes. ”
The Colonel had only come this time to find a temporary passage that would allow the Russians to transport some supplies to tide them over the current difficulties. As soon as the 100,000 army arrives, the situation can be alleviated immediately. They didn't think that Yang Xiaolin actually said that it was okay to build a railway!
Is it time to build a railway? Colonel Desi Jianshi Novich didn't know, he really didn't know! So he had to ask, reciprocate, and see what it meant.
The matter is really too big, not only the Russians need to discuss it, but also in the interior of the base area, when Yang Xiaolin said this proposal, everyone's reaction can be said to be quite intense!
Needless to say, many brothers used to be miners working for Lao Maozi, and this time when they heard that Yang General promised to let the Russians build a railway here, they all thought of the miserable situation when they were driven by Lao Maozi to build the railway, and many people found Yang Xiaolin, hoping that he would retract this decision.
The directors also had mixed reactions.
"No! I am categorically against this! In general, if you look at the current Qing Dynasty, as long as there are foreigners to build railways, our resources will be plundered! The Russians have long wanted to build a railway close to Changbai Mountain, and the Manchus have never agreed, I really didn't expect you to negotiate this condition with the Russians! ”
After Zou Rong finished speaking, his fist slammed on the table, his delicate face turned purple because of anger, and his eyes stared at Yang Xiaolin with a fierce light, as if as long as Yang Xiaolin dared to stand up and argue, he would not hesitate to tear his face.
