Chapter XIII: Alliances

The Russians obviously did not expect to be ambushed here, and in the blink of an eye, more than forty people were put to the ground, and those who were still alive did not care about chasing people, so they hurriedly turned around and ran behind. Yang Xiaolin was overjoyed, no matter who helped him in the forest, he set up Lu Lao Liu, and waved his hand: "Enter the forest!" ”

Without his call, the rest of the bandits had already rushed in. Yang Xiaolin had just walked into the dense forest, and Zhang Zuolin jumped over from the side: "Yang fights ghosts, I knew that you could only run here, come with me!" ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled, fortunately Zhang Zuolin was not waiting for him in Motianling, he knew that he was safe again.

After the Russians were beaten violently, although the casualties were not large, they no longer dared to chase desperately. Yang Xiaolin and Zhang Zuolin ran all the way to Motianling, and Feng Delin's men and horses had already prepared for Motianling. Lu Laoqi was at the bottom of the mountain, and when he saw Yang Xiaolin and them running all the way, he shouted excitedly: "Big brother!" They're back! ”

There were bursts of cheers from the top of the ridge, Feng Delin's other men and horses had already received the news, and most of them had come to support at this time, and now there were more than 20,000 bandits gathered here in the entire Ferris Ridge, and General Ackberil, who had been chasing behind, was very unwilling, but he could only stop his footsteps at the foot of the mountain.

The shackles on Feng Delin's body have been removed, and when Yang Xiaolin and Zhang Zuolin went up the mountain, he strode up to meet them, spread his two arms, and hugged Zhang Zuolin and Yang Xiaolin at once, his voice was a little excited: "Brother Yang, the fifth child, xiexie you!" ”

After speaking, he patted Zhang Zuolin on the shoulder, this action has fully explained that Feng Delin has at least let go of Zhang Zuolin's personal grudges. Zhang Zuolin is also a character, and naturally knows the truth that if there are steps, he will go down, he laughed softly: "Brother, my brother used to be ignorant, and I bumped into my brother, so please don't take it to heart." ”

Feng Delin haha smiled: "When?" How did I not know? ”

Zhang Zuolin also laughed after hearing this, Yang Xiaolin looked at the two of them and said: "Let's go up and talk about it, this Russian is following us, if they see the three of us here, they will save trouble with a single shot." ”

At that moment, Feng Delin led the way, and after the three of them arrived at the top of the mountain, Zhang Zuolin sat on the ground: "Damn, I'm tired to death, these Russians are really fucking ruthless enough, more than 200 of my brothers are ambushed on the mountain, and only more than 20 of them are beaten by their artillery fire." ”

Yang Xiaolin looked behind him, and there were only thirty or forty of the hundred brothers brought down from the mountain, and the heaviest loss was of course Feng Delin's men and horses, when they entered the city, there were 10,000 people, and in less than half an hour, only two or three thousand came out.

In terms of the number of losses alone, the casualties they inflicted on the Russian army this time may only be a few hundred, and counting the eight hundred brothers under Tang Yulin, their men and horses lost seven or eight thousand, which can be said to be a fiasco. But the problem is that this time they are not here to fight, but to save people. Even if everyone is dead, as long as Feng Delin can come out, they will still win.

So several people are in a pretty good mood!

Feng Delin smiled: "This time you can rescue me from the Russian prison, this kind of ability, I really admire it!" To be honest with you, I always thought that if I could get out, only the Japanese could do it. When I heard the tiger shouting, I wondered if I was dreaming! Haha! ”

Yang Xiaolin followed and said: "Brother Feng is wrong in what he said, no matter how Japanese he is, he is an outsider, this Liaoxi is our brother's, as long as our brothers want to do something, there is nothing that can't be done." ”…,

Feng Delin nodded hurriedly after hearing this: "What you said makes sense!" This Liaoxi is ours! ”

Zhang Zuolin and Yang Xiaolin glanced at each other, and Yang Xiaolin felt that it was time to strike while the iron was hot.

"Brother Feng, brother has always had an idea, you see that the Japanese and the Russians are about to fight, no matter what, this is our territory, if there is no movement at all, it will make those guys look down on us Northeast masters."

After he said this, Feng Delin immediately put away his smile, although he said that he put down Zhang Zuolin's personal grudges, but there were irreconcilable contradictions in principle between the two of them. In Feng Delin's view, the Russians were his worst enemies, and he was willing to pay any price to defeat the Russians, including cooperating with the Japanese.

Although Yang Xiaolin's attitude is unclear so far, he is relatively close to the Japanese, and he is constantly fighting with the Russians, which also makes Feng Delin feel that at least now they are on the same front. Zhang Zuolin is different, this kid doesn't rely on anyone, and he leans on the official government, which makes Feng Delin a little unpredictable.

He knew that Yang Xiaolin said this to himself in front of Zhang Zuolin, the two of them must have reached a consensus, what did Yang Xiaolin want to make when the Japanese and the Russians were fighting? Feng Delin looked at them suspiciously: "Two brothers, you have something to say." ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded: "Okay, then I won't turn the corner, I have already discussed with Lao Wu, and when the Japanese and the Russians fight, whoever bullies us, we will fight whom!" Big brother, we want to do it with you. ”

Feng Delin looked at Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin nodded, signaling that Yang Xiaolin was right. Feng Delin breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, and the smile hung on his face again: "Do you need to say this?" Now the person who bullies us is Lao Maozi. ”

"Then we'll him!"

Yang Xiaolin's reply was quite crisp, Feng Delin looked at Zhang Zuolin again, Zhang Zuolin stood up from the stone: "Yang Dagui is right, we will beat him if Lao Maozi bullies us, and if the radish head bullies us in the future, we will also kill him." Big brother doesn't have to look at me, my brother was forced to go to the government by my eldest brother and had no way out, as long as my eldest brother is willing to take my brother again, my brother will come down immediately! ”

In Feng Delin's eyes, the Japanese were all friends of the Qing Dynasty, kind and reliable. Therefore, Yang Xiaolin did not persuade him like he persuaded Zhang Zuolin, as long as Feng Delin let out his words in front of these tens of thousands of people on the mountain, he would not regret it in the future.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Zuolin's statement, Feng Delin immediately put down his mind and stretched out his big hand: "Okay!" In the future, our brothers will have one heart, whoever bullies us, we will do it together! ”

Yang Xiaolin also stretched out his hand and shook it with him, Zhang Zuolin's hand was put up, the three big hands were clasped together, the three of them looked at each other, and then they all got up, and the laughter echoed on the mountain beam. Yang Xiaolin knew that this meant that from now on, they were already in an alliance relationship.

There is no need to sign any agreement on the Green Forest Road, and there is no permanent alliance in this shijie, just like the relationship between Yang Xiaolin and Sun Wen now, this alliance of theirs is only preliminary. In the future, if everyone's interests conflict, or if there is a clear infringement of interests in the process of cooperation, this alliance will naturally be gone.

After the three of them burned yellow paper on the top of the mountain and made a casual oath, the alliance was established. Feng Delin wanted to invite Yang Xiaolin and Zhang Zuolin to live in Gaojiatunzi for a few days, but Zhang Zuolin was now entangled in official affairs, and Yang Xiaolin also had a lot of things to do.

When he was walking on the road, Yang Xiaolin asked Zhang Zuolin what Zaitao was doing now. Zhang Zuolin told him that Zaitao must be a difficult opponent of Yang Xiaolin, and after Zaitao arrived in Mukden, he reduced the original Fengtian army from 30,000 to 20,000, and some of the unqualified and chaotic soldiers were driven away by Zaitao. …,

At the same time, the Qing soldiers in Fengtian City are very different from last year, and Zaitao has established his own arsenal, which means that if there is another fight in the future, the troops of the Qing Dynasty will no longer have to wait for those foreigners to send guns and cannons to start a war. And Zaitao also set up an artillery unit, with the appearance of five thousand people, equipped with a hundred heavy guns from Germany, Zaitao was not satisfied with this, there was still a batch of heavy artillery on the way, and his second artillery unit was also being formed.

Weapons alone will not make Yang Xiaolin afraid, and of course Zaitao knows this, and he also attaches great importance to the role of soldiers on the battlefield. Zhang Zuolin told Yang Xiaolin that the Manchu court and foreigners urged Zaitao to send troops to suppress the bandits several times, but Zaitao just didn't move, and he was still training. Zaitao once said in front of Zhang Zuolin that during the First Sino-Japanese War, the equipment of the Qing Dynasty troops was more advanced than that of Japan, and the tonnage of ships was larger than that of the Japanese. The reason lies in the soldiers! Soldiers have no combat experience, no belief in death, and no matter how much they hold the equipment in their hands, they will lose!

So Zaitao still continues to train soldiers, and is still asking those Germans to give lessons to the grassroots commanders of the Qing Dynasty troops.

This news really shocked Yang Xiaolin! In his impression, those princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were all like wine bags and rice bags, except for the signboards of the flag men in Beijing City, he had never heard of any of them doing anything. But now this Zaitao's performance surprised Yang Xiaolin very much, if the Qing Dynasty took out a prince so hard, how would the Manchu Qing Dynasty fall to this point today?

Yang Xiaolin and Zaitao started almost at the same time, and after such a long time, Yang Xiaolin has actually done a lot of things, and the gap between him and Zaitao has not yet widened. Zaitao got an arsenal, and Yang Xiaolin also got one, although it was smaller, Jihua was good enough to use.

Zaitao has built an artillery unit, and Yang Xiaolin now also has artillery, and he has already made the kind of "unconscionable artillery" used by the People's Liberation Army in the Liberation War. It is the kind of gasoline canister that the PLA used to fight the Kuomintang when everyone watched the three major battles.

This thing is amazing, the caliber is not ordinarily large, and the jishu content is not high, and the requirements for the explosives package are not too high, although the range is only one or two hundred meters, but the shot is also a parabola, which is very suitable for use on the terrain of Changbai Mountain.

The flaw is that his cannon can only be placed in the Wheel Mountain, that is, it can only be used when someone else comes to attack him, or after he surrounds others. As for the upright artillery battle, it can't be fought.

It doesn't matter, Yang Xiaolin is immediately ready to get a batch of artillery to equip himself, he said that every regiment must have an artillery battalion.

Zaitao took his artillery into the mountains and could not get any bargain from himself. In the base areas below the mountain, he also began to develop militia in some reliable tunzi. The guns that I retired after this change of outfit just happened to equip the militia. He not only taught the militia to shoot guns, but also taught them some simple combat skills, and also learned the appearance of tunnel warfare in the tunzi, allowing every family to dig tunnels.

Yang Xiaolin has an incomparable innate advantage, when his shili is bigger, the more obvious this advantage will be, he is not afraid of Zaitao, but the problem is that the performance of this Manchu Qing Dynasty made Yang Xiaolin a little surprised, this prince actually knows that soldiers and weapons must be modernized in order to fight a modern war!

In his impression, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty were all waste who ate and waited for death, and Zaitao completely subverted Yang Xiaolin's concept.
