Chapter 109: Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Fight (Subscription Requested)
The Russians, on the other hand, had apparently also received news of an agreement between Yang Xiaolin and the Japanese, and Commander Kuropatkin was very dissatisfied with Yang Xiaolin's approach, but this outcome was not bad for the Russians.
They didn't get nothing, at least the Japanese First Army was held back by Yang Xiaolin for more than a month, which won them enough time to prepare for the war, and the batch of materials invested in Yang Xiaolin was not in vain.
So for the Japanese, even if they are about to get out of the current predicament, Kuroki is not a little easy. He walked back and forth in his headquarters, occasionally crossing his hands over his chest, and from time to time lifting them and rubbing each other.
The order that had already been sent by the military headquarters surprised Kuroki Weizhen was that this time the Japanese military headquarters did not move his position, but only said that he should immediately launch an attack on the Russians to relieve the pressure of the Third Army, and as for the failure of the battle against Yang Dagui, he would be held accountable when the time was right.
This made Kuroki a little nervous, the situation of the Third Army was now very unfavorable, Nogi Noshinori had suffered heavy losses on the hills near Lushun, had lost the ability to continue the attack, and was recuperating and waiting for reinforcements, and the Russians obviously wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to drive the Japanese back into the sea.
If this happens, the consequences will be catastrophic for the Japanese.
After repeated thought, Kuroki Weizhen called in the Japanese First Army, who was in charge of intelligence: "Please tell me in detail about the current defense of the Russian army west of Fushun." ”
Hei Mu Weizhen already has a piece of information about the Russians in his hands, which was given to him by Yang Xiaolin. But he didn't believe that Yang was fighting ghosts, and this matter was related to the fate of the First Japanese Army, the fate of the Great Japanese Empire, and his own fate. There is no room for ambiguity.
The Japanese army did not dare to slack off, and carefully explained on the map Kuroki Weizhen's defense line west of Liaoyang.
It's really a very unwise thing to clash with Yang Da Ghost. In just one month's time, a solid defensive formation had been arranged on the plains that were originally undefendable by Ackberil.
Akberlier took advantage of the special terrain of Liaoyang, which is the intersection of hills and plains, and piled up bunkers with solid reinforced concrete, and also used trenches around the bunkers to assist defense, and dug a large number of underground tunnel networks, taking advantage of the characteristics of the terrain gradually rising, and the entire defense system was composed of three layers of defense that were higher than one section.
The three layers of defense are intertwined, with an average length of eight kilometers, and it looks impregnable!
This situation is the same as what Yang Xiaolin told Kuroki Weizhen, and Yang Xiaolin also told the Japanese. It is impossible to break through the entire line by hitting such a position. The only way is to concentrate all the artillery fire and attack liliang to hit one of them, break a point, and break through the entire defense line of the Russians! Of course, if Kuroki Weizhen can mobilize the Russian forces, let them show a flaw. Then the Japanese will win more easily.
Kuroki Weizhen was originally very unimpressed with what Yang Xiaolin said, he didn't believe that a bandit could be more clever than his own tactics, but after seeing the distribution map of the Russians drawn for him by that Dazuo, he felt more and more that what Yang Xiaolin said was right.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable, did he really want to fight according to the Chinese bandit's words? He called Nishikuan Erlang over and wanted to discuss it with Nishikuan Erlang.
This time the crisis of the Japanese First Army is not without benefits, at least in the crisis, Nishi Kanjiro and Kuroki Weizhen are working together to get the troops through this difficulty, and now that the difficulty has passed, the relationship between the two is not as stiff as it was at the beginning.
Nishikanjiro looked at the map for a long time. He looked up and asked, "Admiral Kuroki, are you sure you can break through the line of 90,000 men in Akmberil?" ”…,
Kuroki shook his head, "No, I'm not sure, but we don't have a choice now. The Russian Baltic Fleet is already optimally prepared, and the number of ships of their tonnage is greater than that of our Japanese Navy, once they reach the battlefield. Our Navy will face an uphill battle. At that time, our land attacks will also be affected. Therefore, we must take down Lushun immediately, so that the remnants of the Russian warships cowering in the port of Arthur have no way to go out to meet their reinforcements. ”
Nishikanjiro didn't say anything more, and he knew what Kuroki Weizhen said, if the Port of Arthur was still in the hands of the Russians at that time, even if the remaining dozen or so Russian warships inside did not dare to come out, the Japanese Navy would have to spend energy to watch them. And Arthur can be used as a supply port for the Russian Navy in combat, then things will be troublesome.
"Then let's take a look at how to fight this battle!"
The two men stood in front of the map and began to jihua their attack rhythm. In response to the defense measures of the Russians, they arranged the deployment of troops, equipment, logistics and other related issues one by one. And after discussing it, I felt that it might be the best to deal with the current formation of the Russians and use the method given to them by Yang Xiaolin, the Chinese bandit.
The two men soon reached an agreement, and after the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, they rested for more than ten days, bought enough unconscionable cannons and explosives bags from Yang Xiaolin's hands, and then launched an attack on the Russians, and the date was set by them for July 15.
Kuroki Weizhen and Nishikuan Jiro can be said to be very thoughtful, but war is not always decided by one person. War doesn't make it easy for you to win just because you're prepared, especially when there is a Yang Dagui stirring up mud between the Japanese and the Russians, and everything becomes even more complicated.
When Yang Xiaolin entrusted the Russians' defensive formation to the Japanese, he also told the Russians all the supplies that Little Japan had transported, and he was very kind enough to ask Colonel Desi Jianshi Novich to tell Commander Akberlil, who had always been very friendly with the Volunteers, that he must keep enough reserves to prevent the Japanese from breaking through a certain section of the Russian defense line.
After the information sent by Yang Xiaolin was confirmed by the Russians, General Akberlil was really happy and immediately contacted Commander Kuropatkin, who asked Commander Kuropatkin to immediately launch a siege and annihilation campaign against Nogi Noshinori.
Akberlir said that this time he was fully sure that he would hold off the Japanese First Army for a month. He's not bragging, he doesn't believe that a bandit can do something he can't do.
Commander Kuropatkin was very excited, a month was enough! When the Russians cleaned up the Japanese Third Army, the Japanese would not be able to turn over, and then he would kill the Japanese Second Army, and then turn around and eat Kuroki Weizhen and push the Russian army into Korea!
After occupying Korea, as soon as the Russian Baltic Fleet arrives, they can land on the Japanese mainland, crush its native resistance Liliang, and then set foot on the Japanese capital and capture the Japanese emperor alive!
The Commander's pre-war words can be realized!
As a result, the Russian troops immediately launched a counteroffensive against the Third Army of Nogi Noshinori in Lushun! This made Nogi Noshinori panic, and hurriedly sent a telegram to the Japanese military headquarters, telling the First Army to immediately attack the Russian flank, cut off the Russians' supply lines, and reduce the pressure on him, otherwise, he would not be able to hold on.
The military department called to ask about the situation here of Kuroki Weizhen and Nishikanjiro, and Kuroki Weizhen said that they launched an attack on the Russians on the 15th, which made the military department very annoyed, the fifteenth? No. 15 Nogi Noshinori is estimated to be driven into the sea!
They ordered the First Army to attack the Russians as soon as the supplies arrived, without stopping or resting!
After receiving the order from the military headquarters, Kuroki Weizhen did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately led the Japanese soldiers who were already able to eat to kill Akberil violently. …,
Akberlier had already received the news, although the artillery of the Japanese First Army was much stronger than him, but Akberil was not alarmed, he had fought with Yang Xiaolin many times, and he was absolutely assured of the defensive ability of his trench, except for the heavy artillery, those small shells could hardly help it.
And Akberlier made it very clear to the soldiers that they should learn from the Volunteers and use those craters to defend themselves when the trenches were blown up by the Japanese! And he knew that there were not many machine guns in Little Japan, and although Yang Dagui promised to get 100 light machine guns for the Japanese, Yang Dagui production could be limited and the fastest speed, and Japan would have to wait for 200 days, just like the Russian mines.
The Japanese laughed at Akberlil, and the methods used by the bandit were similar to what the bandit had expected, and all the artillery fire was concentrated on their right flank positions, and the Japanese were clearly aiming to destroy their fortifications as much as possible with artillery.
The Russians are not Yang fighting ghosts, they don't dare to fight back because of your bombing, and they only dare to sneak a few shots when you finish fighting.
As soon as the little Japanese artillery spoke, the Russian artillery did not hesitate to start firing back. For a time, thousands of artillery pieces were fired at the same time on the battlefield, and the whistling sound of the shells and the sound of explosions were mixed together, like the rolling spring thunder, which lasted for a long time.
Both sides wanted to kill each other, first bombarded the opponent's artillery positions, and then bombarded the opponent's infantry positions, and the infantry was in a hurry and then bombarded the opponent's artillery positions, back and forth for four or five rounds, and it was estimated that after at least tens of thousands of shells were fired on both sides, the Russian artillery finally couldn't parry, and the voice gradually weakened.
Yang Xiaolin, Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, who were idle and hiding in the mountains and forests far away, were stunned by the scene of the cannonballs shuttling back and forth, they now know that the real artillery battle in this era is so good-looking, when the Russians beat themselves in the past, they were not in the mood to see it first, and the second old Maozi fought for half an hour at most, after all, they had no passion to fight a person who did not fight back.
But the fight with Japan is different, look at the watch, the artillery battle between the two sides actually lasted for more than three hours, a whole afternoon! And the Japanese, who had the advantage, did not seem to have the intention of stopping, and the Russian artillery did not speak, and they began to bombard the positions of the Russians with all their might.
