Chapter Eighty-Three: The End of the Sunset

This is Yang Xiaolin's diplomatic approach. He doesn't like to negotiate and he doesn't like to explain.

When he received that Naogami Songyuan was hunting down the militia of the Volunteers in Liaoyang and killing more than 7,000 militiamen and their families, Yang Xiaolin immediately gave the order for the massacre. He didn't think about what kind of retaliation the Japanese would take in Liaoxi, nor did he think about how those civilized gentlemen would scold him like this.

To be honest, he didn't want to kill civilians, and at the beginning of the war he thought he had sent a very clear message to the Russians and Japanese! He did not move any foreigners in the base area, and even took in the prisoners in the battle with the Japanese Second Army for the first time.

But everything he did was useless, Lao Maozi could attack those teenage children, and the Japanese had just landed and killed more than 7,000 people in Liaoxi!

If they really like it, then solve it this way!

I hope the Japanese don't let themselves rush over, just yesterday he thought that if he went to North Korea, he would grab something by himself, but now he has changed his mind, all the Japanese he meets on the road, see one and kill the other, regardless of men, women and children!

It's the same with Lao Maozi! Don't let yourself run into it.

The gunfire on the front line was very intense, and the Japanese troops in Dandong City obviously knew what it meant to release Yang Xiaolin in the past. The battle lasted from morning to more than eight o'clock in the evening, and even though the volunteers had broken through the outer defense line of Dandong City, and even the south gate had been killed, the Japanese relied on those buildings in the city to fight with the volunteers inch by inch.

Cai Yi's footsteps hurriedly walked into Yang Xiaolin's headquarters: "Commander, Sui Bing just came with the news, several small Japanese troops in the south of us have all been annihilated, but the bridge was blown up by the Japanese, and all the ships along the coast were burned by them. ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded: "Little Japan is forcing us to fight from Dandong!" They must have sent troops to the port of Anping. ”

Cai Ye said: "We are running out of time, according to the speed of the Japanese army, their reinforcements should be able to come over tomorrow morning, can we consider bypassing Dandong?" Directly occupy Anping? ”

Yang Xiaolin thought for a while: "No! Nogi Noshinori will bite us from behind. And the Japanese army must have made preparations in Korea. Dandong must break through! Tell Qian Yao. Don't care about casualties, now the fate of the whole army is in his hands, we must defeat Dandong before twelve o'clock in the evening to have a chance! ”

Cai Yi hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his worries: "Qian Yao has done his best, commander, we must have a second hand preparation now, if twelve o'clock can't achieve the goal?" ”

Yang Xiaolin's eyes changed, Cai Yi's worry was not superfluous, the Japanese army was very tenacious, and the battle could not belong to him because of his strong will. I thought for a moment: "Collect the planks now." If we can't break through, we'll force our way across the river here! ”

Cai Ye knew that it was very dangerous to forcibly cross the river without killing the Japanese troops in Dandong City, not to mention that now the volunteers had no boats to cross the river and no bridges. The Japanese didn't need to do anything, as long as they kept bombarding the river with artillery fire in the city, they could pay a heavy price.

But he also knew that there was really no other way. Two armies of 200,000 Japanese are pressing over here, and if they don't leave, they won't be able to leave.

The battle in Jinzhou is also coming to an end.

Cao Sanye had been surrounded by Akberil on top of that mountain. Several positions of the Beiyang Army were all cut by the Russians, and their high fighting spirit yesterday had long since disappeared at this moment, except for Wu Peifu, who was still trying to pick up the third master, and the other troops were all in chaos. Those who can run have already fled, and those who can't have lost their command, and the battlefield is almost a one-sided massacre.

Akpolir could see through his telescope that Wu Peifu was still rushing towards Cao Kun's position, and even the very good Chinese general himself was at the forefront with his rifle in hand.

There was a sigh in his heart. Originally, he thought that the battle would last three days. But yesterday, after a day of fighting, he felt that he might have miscalculated. Wu Peifu fought very well, and all the tentative attacks on the Russians did not get a little advantage, whether it was the deployment of troops or the arrangement of troops. This Chinese general did an impeccable job.

He can use a team whose combat effectiveness is far inferior to his own to fight on a par with himself!

Akberil had determined that he might not have to pay a price to win the war, and that he could not do it without spending some time. But it happened so suddenly, just when he was ready to sacrifice the life of the Russian boy, a Chinese appeared at Akberil's side.

This is a gift from God! This Chinese helped him open a gap that he could not open, and also told the Russians all the military arrangements of the Beiyang Army!

Qi Xieyuan came to Akpolier's side with a flattering smile on his face: "Hehe, general, you also have to pay attention to Jinzhou, Wu Peifu had already sent Feng Yuxiang to attack Jinzhou with a mixed association before the arrival of the Russian army, and he also let Duan Zhigui's men and horses go to the south, I know where it is!" ”

Akpolier's eyes suddenly stared at the mountain in front of him, he really didn't expect that Wu Peifu would have these two unexpected chess pieces, if Jinzhou was really in danger, then how this battle would end up in the general was really uncertain.

Wu Peifu!

Akpolir read the name in his heart, he was very good, the defense was well arranged, and he knew how to find opportunities to counterattack. It's a pity! It's a pity that he still lost, and it's a pity that it wasn't himself who beat him!

"Send a telegram to Jinzhou immediately and get the guards ready. Major General Mardinov, you take your troops and kill that Duan Zhigui. ”

Mardinov commanded: "Yes. ”

A smile appeared on the general's face: "Qi, thank you very much for your help, don't worry, we Russians have always been very friendly to friends, and we will agree to all the conditions you mentioned." Hope we have a more pleasant cooperation in the future. ”

Qi Kunyuan was really excited: "General Xiexie! The general rest assured, in the future, I will definitely follow the general's back to serve the Tsar Bixia as a dog and horse, and I will die with all my might! ”

A hint of contempt flashed in Akberil's eyes: "You are a smart person, and Cao Kun is much more stupid. This shijie smart person can live more comfortably. Our commander has already considered that in the future, we will also need a Chinese manager in the cities of Northeast China, Qi, I don't know if you are interested? ”

Qi Kunyuan's face suddenly had that look of great joy: "Thank you, General!" Thank you, Commander! ”

Akberil turned his head back to the battlefield, the Russian troops had already occupied the absolute advantage on the battlefield, and when Qi Kunyuan rebelled, there was no suspense in this battle. After Akberlier was completely informed of the deployment of the Beiyang Army, he adopted the method that Yang Xiaolin used to fight the Japanese First Army during the Russo-Japanese War, breaking through a little and shaking the opponent's entire defense line!

This tactic is very correct, especially when he knows that the opponent is weak, and he really hits it with one hit. Resistance at this time is really meaningless. Looking at the Beiyang Army who were still unwilling to lay down their arms, the general's mouth couldn't help but whisper: "Why bother." ”

Turning his head to a Russian colonel, he said: "Colonel, order the troops to stop the attack for a while, reorganize the troops, and by the way, give them another chance to surrender." ”

The colonel responded, in fact, you don't need to reorganize the troops, everyone can see that there is no need to rest now. However, as soldiers, they also have a respect for opponents who are not willing to put down their weapons now. Akberlier thought very clearly, as long as they put down their guns, Cao Kun must be caught, and Wu Peifu can't let go, but those ordinary soldiers, if he can, he can also let them live.

Qi Kunyuan came to Ackberil's side again at this time: "General mercy, I have already told Cao Kun not to go against Russia, but he has to listen to Wu Peifu's instigation. It's really confused, and it's not worth pitiing! ”

At this time, Akberil suddenly said: "Qi, if I ask you to persuade them to surrender, will you go?" ”

One sentence changed Qi Kunyuan's face greatly! At this time, let him go and persuade him to surrender? I guess I won't even have a single hair left! His frightened look really made Akberil feel a pang of joy in his heart, and smiled slightly: "Just kidding you." ”

Akberlir really surrounded Cao Kun, and the third master is now seriously injured. In the battle just now, a cannonball exploded next to the third master, and the shrapnel cut through Cao San's belly, and maybe some of it entered the body, and now the third master's entire lower body is drenched in blood, and his legs have lost consciousness.

There were less than a thousand soldiers around him, and despair was written on everyone's face. When the Russians' attack wave stopped for a while, the third master knew that it might be over soon.

Cao San smiled bitterly on his face, he thought of three results when he fought with the Russians, but he didn't expect that he didn't have the opportunity to wait for the results, and his luck seemed to be a little worse.

He supported his upper body with both arms, and a young man next to him hurriedly came over to help him sit down: "General Cao, be careful." ”

This young man's name is Zhong Xiaoyi, and he is Zhong Wanquan's nephew. Cao Kun's guards had died in the Russian attack just now, and it was this young man who had been guarding Cao Kun, he had practiced, and his skills were very good. But Cao Sanye hates him a little now, because Sanye feels that if he was really killed just now, he might be a little more comfortable than now.

One of the Russians below shouted: "Listen to the Chinese soldiers on the mountain! We, General Ackberil, ask you to surrender immediately, the war has been decided, and you have done your best! Our general said that as long as you lay down your arms now, we will treat you as prisoners of war and promise not to hurt you! ”

When Cao Kun sat up, the wound was gushing blood, and he was a little frightened when he looked at it. Raising his eyes to look at the soldiers around him, the third master squeezed out a smile on his face: "Brothers, this time I have affected everyone, I'm sorry." ”

The soldiers looked blank one by one, and no one came out to speak at this time. (To be continued......)
