Chapter 135: Chestnut in the Fire (Subscription Requested)

Lieutenant General Kendrachev's attack broke the scorching situation on the entire battlefield, and for the Japanese, what surprised them was that after the Russian team all killed Liaoyang, the entire Lushun was already an empty city, and there were only 30,000 Russian troops in it to defend, which could be said to be at your fingertips.

And what they can't cope with is that if these 100,000 people are killed in Liaoyang, it will be a catastrophe for those Japanese who are now fighting in Liaoyang!

All the tactical arrangements of Little Japan were based on the fact that the Russians did not dare to come out of those fortresses, and now that the Russians have really come out, they are actually a little hurried for a while.

The Russians were also a little panicked, Commander Kulopatkin was furious after receiving the telegram that the Russian team in Lushun had gone north, you must know that if Lushun is lost, the Russians will have no stronger seaport in Liaodong, and when the Baltic Fleet comes here, the Russian ships will not even find a place where they can dock!

He understood the situation of Lieutenant General Kendrashev, but it was useless for him to understand, and Tsar Bixia would not forgive these Russian troops who had been killed from Arthur. The only thing Commander Kulopatkin can do now is to make mistakes, he must attack, only by defeating the Japanese can save the hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers killed from Arthur, and only by attacking can he save Lieutenant General Kendrashev.

In this way, both sides very passively accepted a large-scale decisive battle that neither of them was willing to accept!

The winner will soon be decided.

"Yesterday morning. The Japanese First Army launched an attack on the Russian forces in Mukden. Their purpose is very clear, that is, to hold back the Russians, so that the hundreds of thousands of troops in the hands of Mukden's Akberlil cannot participate in the middle of the battlefield in Liaoyang! ”

Yang Xiaolin's hand drew on the military map, and then moved from Mukden to Liaoyang: "Here, the Japanese army of 300,000 and the Russian army of 350,000 are engaged in a decisive battle, and they are slaughtered together on a front of more than 200 kilometers. On the right flank, from the Great Stone Bridge to Yingkou, was a Russian force of 60,000 Russians under Lieutenant General Zalubayev, against the Japanese Second Army. Russia's Lieutenant General Kreel's East Manchurian detachment responded on the sidelines, and the Russians had an absolute advantage on this battlefield. ”

In front of Yang Xiaolin. Several deputy commanders and regiment commanders and battalion commanders of the Volunteer Army sat straight, and after Cai Yi's training, the meeting was much more formal, like Erlang's legs crossed. The phenomenon of picking nose from time to time has not reappeared.

"The main forces of the Japanese were concentrated on the left flank, with their Third and Fourth Armies serving as the main attack Liliang. This line of defense was the relatively weak line of defense of the Russians, and instead of attacking the main line of defense of the Russians immediately, the Japanese captured Haicheng County, which was garrisoned by only 200 Russian troops, the night before. ”

Yang Xiaolin's hands spread out, and his eyes looked at the few people sitting there: "This is a little strange, what are they doing in Haicheng?" Songpa, you tell me what you think. ”

Cai Ye stood up in response, he knew that this was Yang Xiaolin giving him a chance to prove his own ability. As long as he is right, the senior generals of the Volunteer Army who are sitting next to him will be able to identify with him.

Cai walked over to the suspended map. Yang Xiaolin took a step back with a smile in the face, and Cai Ye immediately said: "Haicheng is not a strategic place, there is no danger to defend, and there is no need to defend. The Russians did not even place any heavy firepower here, nor did they build strong fortifications. The Russians may think that this place is not important, but they are wrong. ”

Cai Yi's fingers went north along Haicheng: "Here, Xicheng." After taking Haicheng, the Japanese were able to attack Xicheng, and this position was an important channel for the Russian Left Wing Corps to connect with their Central Army! I'm sure it's this place that the Japanese are going to fight! They are going to annihilate the left flank of the Russians! ”…,

"Impossible, right? Lao Maozi's left wing also has 70,000 or 80,000 people. Little Japan has such a big appetite? ”

Feng Delin was obviously a little skeptical of Cai Yi's judgment, he still had some knowledge of the Japanese army, and he also knew about the Russian troops, although the Japanese concentrated the strength of two armies in this place, totaling 160,000 people. Twice as many as the Russians, there may be no suspense in defeating Lao Maozi. Annihilation? It seems a little unrealistic.

The rest of the people obviously think the same way as Feng Delin. Cai Yi smiled slightly: "Japan, this country is very special. A few decades ago they were a poor country, but they had already tasted the sweetness of the large reparations they had received from the war with the Qing Dynasty. They crave war and will take risks for the sake of victory. Now they are inferior in numbers on the battlefield, and the situation is very bad, and they are being flanked by the Russian troops who came out of Lushun. And the Russians made a fatal mistake, that is, they left a large number of troops in Liaoyang City as a reserve, at this time the Japanese will definitely make a desperate bet, only by killing all the Russians' left flank troops, they can reverse the current situation. ”

Cai Yi's eyes revealed a determined look, which made people believe that what he said was right.

Yang Xiaolin continued: "I think the same as Songpa! Now that the Japanese Fifth Army is fighting against the main force of the Siberian Army that has killed the Russians from Arthur, I am sure that if little Japan succeeds on the left flank of the Russians, it will be the Russians who will be eaten next! ”

Yang Xiaolin believed it, and these people also believed it. Their admiration for Commander Yang can be said to be blind, at least in terms of military affairs, Commander Yang never seems to have disappointed them.

Zhang Zuolin stood up from the chair: "Commander, what should we do now?" ”

Yang Xiaolin's body walked to the front of the table, supported the table with both hands, and said after scanning his eyes: "No matter which of them wins, the war is almost over, and our stable days for most of the year are coming to an end." If we want to carry the Russians or the Japanese to attack in the future, we have to let their blood bleed a little more! From now on, keep your eyes on Liaoyang, if the Japanese succeed, we will go to fight the Japanese First Army! If the Russians hold on, we will go and fight Mukden! ”

This tactic was discussed by Yang Xiaolin and Cai Ye for several days. The Volunteers numbered only 16,000. These people are thrown into the battlefield, and it is a piece of cake for both sides of the battle. But the side dishes are also very delicious!

If the Russians are about to lose in Liaoyang and kill Kuroki Weizhen from behind the buttocks, the Russian troops in Mukden can immediately go south to reinforce Liaoyang! If the Japanese attack in Liaoyang fails, he will help Kuroki to defeat Mukden for Zhen, so that the Russians will be left with a lonely Liaoyang, and the Japanese First Army can be put into the battlefield!

Feng Delin and the others also immediately understood what Yang Xiaolin meant, and Yang Xiaolin straightened his waist and pole: "From now on, the troops will enter the combat state!" All soldiers were removed from leave and were not allowed to leave the camp for twenty miles. Get ready for battle! ”

"Yes!"

The people on both sides of the table stood up in unison and replied. Yang Xiaolin felt that he really looked like a commander.

Shi Xiaowu is now the company commander, and after receiving the order from Qian Yao, Shi Xiaowu's heart was a little apprehensive. Qian Yao ordered all soldiers not to be allowed to take vacations from now on. They were not allowed to have any contact with the people, or even to leave the camp.

All the companies had to prepare their supplies, and food and ammunition were distributed, and his instincts told him that this time he was going to fight a war that might be even more brutal than the Battle of Huinan. He was a little afraid, not afraid of death, but afraid of seeing these brothers around him who had been with him for more than half a year leave him one by one. …,

It was an unspeakable pain, more painful than one's own sacrifice!

But Shi Xiaowu knew that he had to fight, not for anything else, just to let those fellow villagers who came to Liaodong live better and better. Just to build a new China as Mr. Zou Rong said!

In the past, Shi Xiaowu didn't understand that he was so poor, but then Zou Rong told him. He was poor because the money he earned was squeezed by the Manchu masters, and those old men gave his money to those high-spirited foreigners.

They scooped up Shi Xiaowu's money and bullied Shi Xiaowu, there is only one way to change this situation, and that is revolution! Scoop up guns and guns to fight with the Russians, fight with the Manchus! Just like what they are doing now, as long as they dare to fight, the Manchus will be afraid, the foreigners will be afraid, and no one will dare to bully them. They will be able to live more and more haode days!

This is the reason why Shi Xiaowu is scooping the gun now, and most of the people in the army are the same as him. A few years ago, the bandits in the mountains scooped guns in order to live. Later, Yang Xiaolin took them to scoop the gun in order to be like a gentleman. Later, they learned that the purpose of scooping the gun was to protect their homeland. Right now. They scoop guns to change their fate because they want to live! They want to live like a man! They want to protect their loved ones like a man. Let your wife and children live a better life! I can have three catties of white flour and eight taels of lean meat every year!

Shi Xiaowu walked to his company's camp with some complicated feelings, there were several big girls and little daughters-in-law washing clothes by the small river in front of the camp, Song Jifa was talking to them about something, jumping up and down from time to time, and the women who provoked him covered their mouths and laughed like silver bells.

Shi Xiaowu got closer, and saw that Song Jifa was bent on his waist, and his head shook left and right and said: "At that time, three little Japanese came to me, one of them was scooping a katana in his hand, the knife was still dripping with blood, and there was minced meat hanging on the tip of the knife, and their mouths were shouting and screaming, a bayonet on the left, and a bayonet on the right pierced me at the same time!" ”

Song Jifa's expression was very rich, and the nervousness on his face infected the women who were washing clothes, and the women's hands stopped and looked at him with wide eyes.

"The little Japan on the other side is the most ferocious, and his katana slashes off my head!"

A woman in her thirties hurriedly asked, "Big brother, how did you hide from it?" ”

Song Jifa's body straightened up, and he said with a very disdainful look: "Do you still need to hide?" Eldest sister, let me tell you, it's useless to hide on the battlefield, you can only make others think you're better to bully! Without saying a word, I grabbed my rifle and struck the three Japanese, with a bayonet on my left and a bayonet on my right! Kill two guys in a row! As soon as I looked back, I saw that the katana was already in front of me! I didn't have the slightest fear in my heart, and an iron bridge bent down and kicked the guy in the stomach at the same time, kicking him out of the way! ”

He even said and gestured, and stunned those women for a while, and there was a big girl with a shy face staring at Song Jifa with her eyes, which was obviously sending spinach.

Song Jifa was about to say more, Shi Xiaowu had already walked over from behind and coughed lightly: "Song Jifa, go back to the camp!" ”

Song Jifa hurriedly put away the expression on his face, and put aside the clothes that had been washed by these women: "Hey, I'll be back soon." A few eldest sisters, brothers will come back tomorrow. ”

Talking about the eldest sister, the eyes looked at the eldest girl, and the girl lowered her head with a shy smile on her face.

After walking out of a paragraph, Shi Xiaowu said: "Jifa, I want to transfer you to the top soldiers, what do you think?" ”

Song Ji was stunned for a moment: "No, company commander, my small squad leader did a good job, did you make any mistakes?" ”

"You didn't make a mistake, it's just a pity to let you be the squad leader, wasting your ability to use a bayonet on the left and a bayonet on the right and then fly up, what do you say?"
