Chapter Forty-Nine: The Town of Honglingbao

If you want to fight, fight a war of annihilation!

It's a little funny to say, he just met the Russian envoy yesterday, and swore that he was very happy to see Zaitao driven out of the Northeast, and that the Russians who had been more connected with him would take control of the overall situation in the Northeast. Yang Xiaolin promised the Russians that they would not do anything that would damage their "friendship", and the Russians also promised that once Fengtian got it, they would give Fushun to Yang Xiaolin as his first city base. But thirty hours had not passed, and now he was planning how to help Zaitao deal with the Russians, and he was so vicious that he wanted to fight a war of annihilation that had never been fought before.

The reason is very simple, all promises made to the Russians are nonsense, and Yang Xiaolin no longer believes that Lao Maozi will have any sincerity for peace with China, nor does he fantasize that the Russians will have real friendship with him. Taizu has a very correct policy, that is, everything comes from the barrel of a gun! Concession can only be exchanged for the other party's inch, Zaitao gave Fengtian this time, next time they will want Jinzhou, and the next is Beijing City. Zaitao is a bannerman, but he is guarding the country. This point determines that Yang Xiaolin will definitely help him, as long as Zaitao has this determination.

If he wasn't Yang Dagui, Zhang Zuoxiang must have thought that this person was a madman, just because Yang Dagui said this, so it seems that it is not impossible to annihilate the Russians.

Yang Xiaolin glanced at Zhang Zuoxiang: "Where is your eldest brother now?" ”

Zhang Zuoxiang hurriedly said: "Sujia Tunzi, Zaitao asked my eldest brother to defend the peripheral positions. ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded, and the direction of Sujia Tunzi was facing the enemy from the south. Zaitao is not wrong with such an arrangement. His fingers started from Sujiatunzi and advanced along the route of the Russians' march that he had drawn out, and after advancing a little, he stopped in Honglingbao Town: "Here. We will fight with Lao Maozi here, you go back and tell Zhang Zuolin, let him make the necessary preparations here, Lao Maozi should be able to arrive in two days, and tomorrow night, my troops will definitely arrive. ”

Zhang Zuoxiang was overjoyed to hear that, when he came, Zhang Zuolin also said to him, he must let Yang Xiaolin rush to Sujiatunzi before the Russians arrived. Although the two people agreed on different locations, the plain of Hongling Fort is not a place to block attacks at all, but Zhang Zuoxiang knows that Yang Dagui wants to fight there, and he must have his reasons.

Tang Yulin asked at this time, "Xiaolin, what are we going to do?" ”

Yang Xiaolin thought for a moment and said, "You tell Brother Feng that we expect a fight in three days, and let him come over to help." ”

Tang Yulin was a little stunned by what he said: "It's that simple? ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded: "It's as simple as that." ”

After the discussion was a matter of action, Yang Xiaolin led his troops to secretly approach in the direction of Fengtian, and he couldn't do it in top secret, so he ran almost day and night, trying to reach the predetermined place before the Russians reacted.

He is now not afraid that Lao Maozi will take care of his old nest again when he fights, he has more than 4,000 people with him, and there are 2,000 at home, and those militias will not be beaten by the Russians by relying on the tunnels like last time. The most important thing is that Yulun Mountain has a certain strategic reserve, although it is not much, but Yang Xiaolin dares to guarantee that if Lao Maozi comes to provoke him again, it will not only cause trouble!

This time, when he decided to send troops, Zou Rong and Yang Du both persuaded him, fearing that the rupture of relations between the two sides after the battle with the Russians would have an impact on their own development, but Yang Xiaolin knew that there was no harm in making Lao Maozi aware of his own force, and it might also make their so-called "friendship" further develop.

Putting down Yang Xiaolin and leading the team to Sujia Tunzi, Tang Yulin quickly returned to Gaojia Tunzi and told Feng Delin what Yang Xiaolin said, Feng Delin didn't understand what Yang Xiaolin meant at all, it was simple to let him help, but when would he go? Since it's simple, weishenme doesn't even tell himself time? …,

He couldn't quite figure it out, so he invited his former dog-headed military advisor, and now his immediate boss Naokami Matsubara. Naogami Matsubara has been in Gaojiatunzi for a period of time, the war is getting closer and closer, many Japanese soldiers have mixed into his side as ronins, and now he has formed a brigade of troops, but he has not yet hung up the flag, and is still mixing with Feng Delin's side as a bandit. I heard that when the Russians asked Zaitao to be Mukden, the Japanese came forward to stop it, and now that the two sides are facing each other, the position of little Japan can be imagined. They knew very well that the Japanese war machine was far less huge than that of Russia, and that Japan had devoted all its strength to fighting this polar bear, and that it could not be won or lost. Now that the Russians' communications have been restored, and supplies are being sent in a steady stream, the balance of war will tilt a little in favor of the Russians if they are allowed to get Mukden again, and the battle will not be easy to fight.

The Japanese are not unreasonable to worry, the famous Battle of Liaoyang in the Russo-Japanese War was because Mukden and Liaoyang supported each other, Zuihou beat little Japan to the bones, and Nogi, who had two sons dead, almost hung up.

Later, Nogi Noshinori couldn't fight anymore and decided to withdraw his troops and wait for the fighters. In fact, this is an admission of defeat, and once withdrawn, the fighter will not come again. But Nogi Noshinori became the god of war in Japan because he was particularly lucky.

At that time, he thought that he would retreat early the next morning and never fight again. But he never expected that the Russians would withdraw from Liaoyang City that night and give Liaoyang to him, and Nogi Noshinori was really ecstatic at that time.

If there was no Fengtian to support behind, Liaoyang would not be so difficult to fight, and after Liaoyang was defeated, there would be no Fengtian Campaign. Naogami Matsubara received an order to prevent the Russians from getting Mukden at all costs, even including firing the first shot of the Russo-Japanese War.

This time, Zhang Zuolin came to find Tang Yulin, and went straight to Songyuan without hesitation to let Tang Yulin agree, and told Tang Yulin to rest assured to fight, if necessary, the Japanese Imperial Army will personally go out!

Now that Yang Xiaolin is also willing to come, things couldn't be better.

After listening to what Tang Yulin said, Naokami Songyuan smiled: "Brother Feng, what Yang means by beating ghosts is that when they fight, you will pounce on them from behind, so that the Russians will not be able to escape." ”

Feng Delin was a little confused by what he said: "I'll go when he fights?" ”

Naogami Matsubara nodded: "Well, if you go early, the Russians will run away immediately when they see your 30,000 horses pounce on you." It will take two days to get from here to Honglingbao Town, and Yang Dagui will use these two days to exhaust the Russians, and if you appear again at that time, they may not even have the strength to run. ”

Feng Delin slapped his hand on the chair: "This Yang fights ghosts, just say that you can just let the day after tomorrow go, and turn this corner." ”

Naokami Matsubara stood up: "He came to me with this bend." Brother Feng, if you think about it, you will understand that Yang Dagui wants to swallow this 10,000 Russian army in one bite. However, he was worried about the reinforcements of the Russians, and he didn't have to think about the road in Fushun, although it was very close, Zaitao would drag them down. So, he's worried that there are Russians coming up from behind you. He said this because I asked me to help you break the queen. ”

Feng Delin understood that Yang Xiaolin said so vaguely that it was for Japan to guess, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know what to say to Naogami Matsubara.

Lu Lao Liu, who was next to him, had a good relationship with Yang Xiaolin, and after seeing the unhappiness on Feng Delin's face, he said: "Big brother, this Yang fighting ghosts is not very authentic, and Mr. Songyuan is not an outsider, what is he doing?" You have to talk about him when you go back. ”

Feng Delin said with this: "Well, the sixth is right. Mr. Matsubara, I'll bring that kid to you in a few days, and ask him to make you a compensatory. ”…,

Naokami Songyuan looked very generous: "Brother Feng doesn't need it, Yang Dagui is your brother, that is, my brother." Don't worry, I'll help you keep an eye on the back and make sure that the Russians won't be able to get through with a single reinforcement. ”

Feng Delin and the others are very grateful for the statement of the straight Songyuan, and they discussed the specific action, now the troops in Feng Delin's hands have a bit of combat effectiveness, more than 30,000 people beat Lao Maozi 10,000, or 10,000 people who fought with Yang Xiaolin and Zhang Zuolin for two days, Feng Delin also wants to try it very much, do you have the appetite to eat all the Russians at once.

The battle soon began, and Yang Xiaolin held on to the plains this time. When the tens of thousands of Russians slaughtered the town of Honglingbao, they were stunned by what they saw!

Seriously, they thought about being resisted, but they never thought that they would be in this place of Hongling Fort, where the terrain is flat and there is no danger to defend at all. But now what they saw in front of them was a line of defense made of trenches!

The bandits of the mountain had already exercised their ability to work in civil engineering, and they were only eighteen hours before the Russians arrived, but in these eighteen hours, more than 7,000 people dug ditches along the originally flat plain. Behind them was the town of Honglingbao, the only way for the Russians to go to Mukden.

This kind of trench dug by Yang Xiaolin is exquisite, and it is recorded in detail in the PLA textbooks. At the beginning of the Huaihai Campaign, the People's Liberation Army used this kind of trench to surround the heavy military groups of the national army that had tanks, planes and artillery, and the fierce generals of the national army were stunned and couldn't rush out!

He could not guarantee that he had fully met the standards required during the Huaihai Campaign, but the Russians only had artillery, planes and tanks were still far away.

A trench was dug in front of the trench for two miles long, and then in front of the trench there was bunker after bunker. Some bunkers are real and have a machine gun in them, while others are fake bunkers that just have a bunker-like head built on flat ground.

Further back the trenches are connected, and the movement of the bandits does not need to be carried out on the flat ground at all, just walk inside the trenches, whether it is to increase troops or retreat or change the guard, the Russians can only watch the figure move. Guns are not easy to hit, but the shells still have some lethality, but can they all be bombarded with shells? If the Russians go a little further, they will find that Yang Xiaolin's work is not yet complete, the trenches are still going on, and there are some bandits who are building kitchens, latrines, and even rest rooms in the digging area.

The Russians felt as if the only way to settle the battle was to find a way to rush up and jump into the trenches. This will inevitably cause a lot of casualties to yourself, but no matter how big the casualties are, you have to rush forward, and you can't stop here without fighting, that's not the Russian army. The Russians stayed in front of the trench for about half an hour before finally launching an artillery bombardment.

After more than 200 shells fell on this trench, they found that the opponent's position did not seem to be damaged. Five hundred Russian GIs couldn't take care of so much, and as soon as the cannon stopped, they rushed up with their guns in hand, shouting one by one: "Ula! (Fifth watch, ask for votes, ask for support!) )
