On April 15, 1907, the war, which attracted the attention of many, finally ended in a way that stunned the Western countries.

If Yang Dagui fully demonstrated his ability to resist attacks to the world during this period of time, then the last battle of the Volunteers showed the same powerful attack power as the initial attack on the Japanese Second Army.

Fengcheng, which was well-defended, held out for only four hours under the attack of the volunteers, and a brigade of Japanese troops was completely annihilated. Tang Yulin's independent division then rushed straight to Anping, and the speed was so fast that the Japanese army could not react at all. As soon as the port of Anping was defeated, the volunteer troops who had penetrated deep into Korea arrived, and the tacit understanding between the two troops in time reached the extreme, and Yang Dagui's footsteps crossed the Yalu River for the fourth time.

Although the Japanese 10th Division that followed later tried to force a pursuit across the river, it was fiercely blocked by Tang Yulin's independent division, relying on the fortifications built by the Japanese army, and finally gave up this unwise approach after paying more than 3,000 casualties on the road to Matsubara. Even if he was very unwilling, he could only stand on the North Korean side of the Yalu River, watching Yang Dagui on the other side eat and drink enough and leave calmly.

From the time the Japanese Second Army stepped into Korea to the present Yang Xiaolin got rid of the pursuit, the volunteers and the Japanese fought fiercely on this land for 68 days! Among them, the volunteers faced the danger of annihilation many times, and Yang Xiaolin was forced to cross the Yalu River for the first time from the port of Dandong, which was not suitable for crossing the river, and paid a heavy price, and even at the last moment he discarded all the heavy firepower of the volunteers.

The loss of personnel and weapons really hurt this guy's bones, and at least in the short term, there will be no large-scale military operations for the Volunteers. But no one thinks that the volunteers are the losers in this war, because the results they have achieved are also quite brilliant!

In the first stage, they completely crippled the Japanese Second Army, and later fought with the Third Army, and Nogi Noshinori did not take advantage. During this period of time alone, the Volunteers wiped out the regular front-line combat strength of the Japanese army, reaching more than 80,000 people.

His four crossings of the river made all those who paid attention to this war feel more and more exciting, and Yang Dagui relied on their two legs, not only dragging down the Japanese front, but also fighting continuously while running. Before and after, he eliminated a reorganized division and four brigades of the Japanese army, and defeated the Korean garrison of Kazuo Kushima.

Although the Japanese side announced that the number of casualties was 100,000, Western military observers were very sure that the casualties of little Japan were definitely twice as many as those of the Volunteers! If you count the losses of their North Korean troops, it may be three times as much.

The Japanese lost this war without any excuse when the situation was very good, and they lost very badly! was killed on the battlefield, and the commander-in-chief Dashan Yan vomited blood and died at the last moment.

In fact, at the end of the war, the Japanese still had a chance, at least many military experts analyzed after the end of the war, if the Japanese troops in Korea could launch a counterattack immediately after the loss of Fengseong. There is also hope that the war will be delayed, at least the volunteers can pay some more price, so that Yang will not be so calm.

When Yang Xiaolin crossed the Yalu River, he ate three sorghum cakes, and then leisurely smoked a cigar, and then went to Fengcheng without hurrying, and slept well in Fengcheng, I heard that he also took a hot bath, shaved off the beard that had not been shaved for more than a month, and changed into a new set of clothes before returning to Liaodong.

After Yang beat the ghost from Fengcheng all the way north to Liaodong. Three thousand men and horses were left in Fengcheng to garrison, and the Japanese troops only symbolically chased after them. Then, not only did they not launch an attack on Fengcheng, but all the Japanese troops in Liaoxi actually retreated on all fronts and withdrew to the territory of Korea.

The war was lost not because the Japanese were stupid. It's just that the performance of the volunteers is too good, from the beginning they didn't waste a single opportunity, and later everyone thought that they didn't have a chance to cross the Yalu River four times to create an opportunity, which can only show that the Japanese simply provoked an opponent who should not be provoked.

There is one more main reason. It's that they've found an ally that shouldn't be looking for them at all.

Lao Maozi didn't help little Japan at all during the war, and provoked Yuan Shikai, making this war a war that swept most of China. If the Russians had joined forces with the Japanese at the beginning of the war. If they were willing to cooperate with the Japanese army to contain the remnants of the volunteers in Liaodong, it would definitely be a different situation now.

But there are no ifs and wits in war. The current situation is that Yang Dagui has returned to Liaodong, and the Japanese simply do not have the ability to continue the march.

Not only did their forces and deployments need to be reintegrated, but there was also a fierce quarrel within Japan over Oyamaiwa's death and defeat in the battle.

The people of the navy finally could no longer stand the incompetence of the army, they thought that the army was simply a disgrace to the Japanese Empire, and they really couldn't do anything except know how to eat food, and the troops of the four armies beat hundreds of thousands of people, not to mention being beaten like this, not to mention that even the life of the commander-in-chief was lost, and they couldn't even find a reason for failure!

What else is there to fight for? It's better to come back early and stay at home, and don't go out and be embarrassed.

Admiral Heihachiro Togo said that if he gave them so many supplies and soldiers for the navy, he would be sure enough to open up a vast colony for the Japanese Empire. Internally unstable and with a strong enemy outside, their allies, the British, began to reconsider the war.

The British general election has ended, although the Liberal Party was finally re-elected, but some British generals have expressed doubts about Sadaoyi's China policy, Sadaoyi has always told the British that Yang Dagui is a bandit, and Sadaoyi said that the coalition army can wipe out the volunteers as soon as they make a move, and now no one believes such words.

The performance of the Volunteers in this war convinced the British generals who could fight that the term bandit did not seem appropriate for the Volunteers. Is it necessary for the British Empire, which is suffering from an economic crisis, to fight a war with a first-class army far away in Asia?

When the British had the idea of retreating, and when the volunteers proved to the world that they were an army with their strong combat effectiveness, Commander Yang's spring was really killed by him, and it was close at hand.

Yang Xiaolin entered Fushun, and the crowd that greeted them blocked the entire city gate tightly. Although Shen Dan's figure was inconspicuous in the crowd, Yang Xiaolin still saw her at once, and Zou Rongzheng next to him warmly greeted him and wanted to have a hug with Yang Zong, but was pushed away by Yang Xiaolin.

His steps were fast, and before he could react to Shen Dan, he hugged her whole person in his arms with one arm. Shen Dan seemed to have forgotten that there were people around him at this time, and he only felt that he couldn't breathe with his arms, but there was an indescribable happiness in his heart, and he opened his arms to be with Yang Xiaolinlou in a trance, and he also closed his eyes and lifted his head, letting Yang Xiaolin kiss her on the forehead fiercely.

Mark pressed the shutter of the camera very quickly, and the flash of the flash didn't pull the two men back from their two-person world. Zou Rong touched his nose next to him and smiled awkwardly.

After a while, Shen Dan realized that the eyes around her were looking at her, which made two red clouds suddenly float on her face, and she began to struggle slightly.

Chen Tianhua patted Commander Yang on the shoulder from behind at this time: "Okay commander, you and your sister-in-law will be tired of going back at night, now we have some very important things to discuss with you." ”

Yang Xiaolin was a little reluctant to let go of Shen Dan, in fact, Yang Pian's security has always been what he wants to pursue, when he just escaped from the Yalu River, Commander Yang felt that the greatest happiness in life was to be able to smoke a cigarette beautifully after eating, if he could hug a woman and sleep again, it would really be the day of the gods.

But in this era, he can't tolerate his little comfort, and he has to beat the jackals around him away in order to sleep soundly.

"What's important?"

"There are mainly two things, one is Yuan Shikai, Yang Huizi has already agreed with Yuan Shikai, we support him as the president of China, but he proposed to reorganize our volunteer army."

The corners of Yang Xiaolin's mouth sneered, he knew too well what kind of calculations this guy was playing, and now he could still say that the Beiyang Army would reorganize the Volunteer Army, if the battle was fought for a while, his Beiyang Army estimated that there would not be much left, and at that time it should be the Volunteer Army to reorganize them.

"This old guy is still trying to take advantage! It's really dead. What did the Lady say? ”

Chen Tianhua said: "We are talking. ”

Yang Xiaolin was still at ease with Yang Du, if Yang Du didn't handle this kind of negotiation well, then he would be even more inadequate, so he didn't ask Yang Du how he talked about it.

"Xingtai, what is the current situation with Mr. Sun?"

Chen Tianhua shook his head: "He wants to put the south out of the war, so far he has not cooperated with foreigners, nor has he declared war with Yuan Shikai, but I believe that once Yuan Shikai becomes president, he must have a clear attitude." ”

Yang Xiaolin snorted, and Chen Tianhua continued: "There is one more thing, Hao Fuman wants to see you, and he is very anxious, and he is waiting for you at the town office in front of him now." ”

As soon as Commander Yang heard that Hoffman was so anxious to see him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile slowly crept onto his face: "Xingtai, I have a feeling, a feeling of being very excited. ”

Chen Tianhua also smiled, nodded and said: "You really have to be ready, Hoffmann didn't tell me what you want to talk about this time, but he has a telegram from Field Marshal Schliefen, Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces of the German Army. ”

Yang Xiaolin had already seen the two houses of the Fushun Mansion of the Volunteer Army, his footsteps paused slightly, and said to Cai Yi: "Send a telegram first, tell the people of the whole country that I support Yuan Shikai as the president of China, and show that our volunteers are willing to fight with the Beiyang Army." ”

"Okay, I'll send it right away."

Yang Xiaolin tidied up his clothes: "I'll go see Hoffman now." If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Sadaoyi may be in trouble. (To be continued......)
