394 Abandon the city
Yamashita Ninji sighed and asked, "We were caught, and the cause was that Heisuke Kondo, right?" ”
Lin Yuan nodded, and Yamashita Ningzhi said helplessly: "It's really providence, in order to pass on his information, we have made a lot of mistakes, otherwise your agents would not easily discover our intelligence network." Lin Yuan asked, "How did your information get to the Russians?" ”
Yamashita Ninji said: "We have people dressed as fishermen on the riverside, and we have already contacted the Russian side, as long as we have information on our side, we will cross the river and send it to the Russians." ”
Lin Yuan asked, "What about your usual information?" Where to send it? ”
Yamashita Ningji said: "Send it to Beijing, and then someone will send the information back to China." ”
Lin Yuan asked again, "Who exactly will it be given to?" ”
Yamashita Ninji said: "Give it to a person named Toushan Man, his pseudonym in China is Manshan, and his cover identity is a businessman." ”
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It turns out that this Toushan Man is really a big boss!" Yamashita Ninji said: "Recently, there is another woman under Toyamamitsu, this woman is named Sakurai Wakami, although she is young, she has already done several major things, including blowing up the Russian alchemy factory in the northeast, assassinating a foreign minister in Beijing, blaming the Boxers, and so on. ”
Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Then what is this woman's cover identity in China?" What is the pseudonym? ”
Yamashita Ninji shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, this Sakurai Wakami is very secretive, and I haven't seen her either." ”
At this moment, the herald at the door came in and said, "There is an urgent military situation. ”
When Lin Yuan heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said to Yamashita Ningzhi: "If you have anything to say, just tell the woman who interrogated you, as long as you answer the questions truthfully, I will let you live." ”
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he followed the herald out of the house and asked, "What happened?" ”
The herald said: "The Russian forward troops are already exchanging fire with the third division, and Division Commander Zhang suggested that the city should be evacuated in advance." ”
Lin Yuan returned to the command headquarters and first came to the special staff headquarters, Tao Zheng said: "According to the analysis of aerial photos, the three infantry divisions and one cavalry brigade of the Russian army have all entered China. ”
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It's time, put some more ** in, and you can close the net!" He then ordered the evacuation of the city to be carried out in advance, and all the troops in the city were withdrawn from Lahassusu at 10 p.m. on the 12th of November.
The retreat of the elite troops is quite fast, and it is the common people who retreat with the troops who are holding back, fortunately, most of the civilians have already retreated in advance, and the rest are young and strong, so it is not slow to follow the team, and they can also help the troops get things.
At the same time that Lin Yuan led his troops to retreat all the way, Grojieko looked at the development of the battle situation but became more and more puzzled, the retreat of the Chinese troops did not look like a rout, every time there were special troops to block, when a backward army was surrounded, Lin Yuan also sent reinforcements, Grojieko looked at the information sent by the Japanese allies at hand, and some were suspicious.
However, Lin Yuan's abandonment of Lahasusu just gave Grogerko a reassurance, Grogerko was relieved at this time, in the previous stage of the battle, Lin Yuan always refused to give up Lahasusu, but this time he withdrew his troops without a sound, it seems that the news of the Japanese allies is still very accurate, so Grogerko ordered the troops to speed up the pursuit, and catch up and eliminate Lin Yuan at all costs.
Lin Yuan led the people to retreat more than 70 kilometers in one day, and on the morning of November 14, the troops retreated to a small town called Futixin, which is derived from the Hezhe language, which means "high gang", the west of the town is an endless wetland swamp, and the east is a continuous group of mountains.
The 3rd Division then built a defensive position with Fu Tixin as the center, and the Russian army was so excited to see that it had captured Lahassusu, and even shouted the slogan "Take Beijing directly".
Lin Yuan looked at the distribution of the Russian army's troops, the 24th Brigade was in the front, the 102nd Division was in the center, and the 103rd Division and the 104th Division were on the left and right, he looked at the positions of several troops, and found that the 24th Brigade and the Second Regiment were pursuing the closest, only less than ten kilometers away from our position, Lin Yuan immediately decided: First annihilate this regiment.
In the waste paper for Heisuke Kondo, Lin Yuan described his troops as a plate of scattered sand with endless discord and fighting, so that the Russian army thought that the Chinese troops were on the verge of collapse, so they did not pay attention to the taboo of a lone army going deep.
At 12 o'clock in the morning of November 14, Lin Yuan ordered the 2nd Independent Brigade to surround the 2nd Regiment of the 24th Brigade of the Russian Army from the north side.
After ten hours of preparation, at ten o'clock in the evening, the 2nd Independent Brigade quietly set out, in which the 58th Regiment crossed the Qixing River from the north side, and the 59th Regiment made a detour from the south side, and at 12 o'clock in the evening, the two regiments detoured behind the 2nd Regiment of the 24th Brigade, cutting it off from the other main regiment.
At one o'clock in the morning of November 15, Lin Yuan gave an order, and the 19th Regiment of the 24th Brigade and the 2nd Regiment took the lead in attacking, and the mortar company of the 19th Regiment fired shells at the Russian camp, and the violent explosion shattered the dream of the Russian army.
The commander of the Russian army thought to himself: "Didn't you say that the Chinese troops were about to collapse?" Why did you fight so hard! He hurriedly led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat and sent a message to the rear, but on the way back he was ambushed by the Chinese troops, which was blocked by the 2nd Independent Brigade.
When the friendly and neighboring troops behind the Second Regiment wanted to come to support, they found that the Chinese troops in front of them formed an impregnable wall, and they were only less than five kilometers away from the Second Regiment, but with these five kilometers, they could not break through.
The battle ended before dawn, and the 2nd Regiment was completely wiped out, killing and wounding 1,307 enemy regimental commanders and more than 500 prisoners.
After receiving the news once, the headquarters of the 24th Brigade never received any more news, and it was only at dawn that the Second Regiment had been completely annihilated, and the brigade commander saw that one of his main regiments had not even held on for a night and was wiped out.
The cavalrymen picked up their sabers and charged towards the position of the 59th Regiment of the 2nd Independent Brigade, and the Russian brigade commander personally supervised the battle behind him, and whoever fell behind was shot over, and the machine guns of the 59th Regiment turned the barrels red, and the Russian army paid the price of hundreds of people, but it was never able to move forward.
The Russian brigade commander looked at the Chinese positions in front of him, was ruthless, and ordered: "Transfer the reserves on the right flank." ”
The staff officers around him hurriedly dissuaded him and said, "Brigade commander, if the troops on the right flank are transferred up, our right flank will be empty." ”
The brigade commander said angrily: "I can't manage so much, we must knock down the Chinese's positions." ”
The staff officer said: "If the Chinese outflank from the right flank, we will be surrounded." ”
The brigade commander roared angrily: "What are you talking about, the Chinese will not find out, although just transfer them." ”
