Chapter Ninety-Nine: Unexpected
Commander Yang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then immediately thought that this was definitely a decision made by Zhang Zuolin with great painstaking efforts. There were volunteers and soldiers of the Beiyang Army in that group, and if the volunteers sent a regular commander to fight, it would inevitably be suspected of annexing the Beiyang Army.
Lao Yuan is sometimes a little petty, and he can endure it, but he likes to deal with you about some small things, and let Erpolezi, a guy who has just been dismissed, command this army, which can really avoid a lot of trouble.
Moreover, Zhang Zuolin may also know that the second pole is the old brother of Yulu Mountain, and the locks in the northeast all talk about a righteous anger, and he is also a chance to give the second pole a chance to get back up. Yang Xiaolin shook his head slightly, the thorns in the army always have room for them to survive, there is no way.
But it's really the most suitable to go to the second pole, this kid always has his own way on the battlefield, maybe he can really surprise himself.
Yang Xiaolin didn't say anything anymore, and instead discussed their current predicament with Cai Yi: "Songpa, the combat capability of our troops is close to the limit, and it is possible to take Seoul, but we will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops are behind us, what do you think we should do?" ”
The current situation of the Volunteers is that the further forward they go, the more hopeless they become, but they will not be able to fight back like they did last few times, because behind them is the Japanese army. As the chief of the General Staff, Cai Ye is always thinking about this problem. As soon as Yang Xiaolin asked, he immediately came over and spread out the combat map: "Commander, we must change the direction of travel now, my opinion is to cross the river again, but this time we are not crossing the Yalu River, here,"
Cai's hand was on the northern section of North Korea: "Tumen River." ”
Commander Yang smiled, he thought the same way. Dashan Yan had already given up the so-called front in order to chase him, and now the Japanese army had at most a marching formation. Since they like to chase, Commander Yang prefers to run. The essence of Taizu's old man's war is actually one word, run! Run with the enemy!
Cai Yi said: "We can return to Changbai Mountain after crossing the Tumen River, so Dashanyan will not let us pass, and if he wants to block us, he will inevitably go around a bigger circle." ”
"Good! Just do as you say. I think we can delay Tang Yulin's attack on Fengcheng a little, Dashanyan wants to block us, it is too late to mobilize troops from North Korea, he can only use the power in Liaoxi, maybe Fengcheng's troops will be empty at that time, if there is a chance, we will defeat Fengcheng. ”
Fengcheng is a very convenient way for Yang Xiaolin to return to Liaodong. It is also an important link in the entire defense system of the Japanese, if the volunteers take Fengcheng in their hands, it is equivalent to Yang Xiaolin has one foot in the house.
Cai Ye nodded after hearing this: "Yes." ”
Commander Yang straightened his waist: "I still have an idea, our Japanese brother seems to be in a hurry to say hello to us this time, he is the closest to us among all the troops of the Japanese army, and now he is only thirty kilometers." I thought, should we shake his hand? ”
Cai Yi's brows furrowed, this is Commander Yang's consistent style, he always likes to turn around and shoot when he is chased by others. Don't want to kill the other side, as long as you can make the Japanese army have some scruples. It's just that the Volunteers are stopped now, and it is very likely that they will be bitten by Naogami Matsubara, according to the supplies they have in their hands now. I really can't stand the consumption of a battle.
If you don't fight, it's not a way to let the Japanese chase after you like this.
Cai Ye finally said: "You can consider it, but the ambush site must be selected well, so that you can retreat quickly." is the first condition. ”
Yang Xiaolin's eyes were fixed on the map, ready to find a suitable place, and his hand subconsciously reached into his pocket to take out a cigarette. But after touching it, he could only smack his mouth and ran out of smoke.
Liaodong.
The mood of the second pole is not too good, and he is a little unhappy about this expedition. He also knew that Zhang Zuolin gave him the opportunity to lead the army this time because of his special care, but to be honest, the pole didn't care whether he was an official or not, his life was actually very simple, he could have brothers around him, and a woman in his heart, the pole felt good.
After so many years of fighting, how many times he has brushed shoulders with death, and he is used to seeing many things that others care about after parting with life and death, he really looks down on him.
When Zhang Zuolin asked him to lead the troops to the battle, he originally wanted to bring some old brothers, and it was a joy to fight side by side with old brothers. But Zhang Zuolin did not agree, Zhang Zuolin said that the main task at present is to cooperate with Yang Xiaolin's footsteps in Korea, and helping Commander Yang get rid of the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese is the most important thing, so the elite soldiers must be used to fight the Japanese, and the people who give the second pole are not only new recruits, but also a large part of the former soldiers of the Beiyang Army.
Although the second pole is called the regiment commander, this regiment is just a name, and it has not even carried out the banner of the volunteers. Looking at the team of more than 1,000 people walking in front of him, the two-colored clothes in the middle were so distinct, and the two poles felt very uncomfortable.
Now he has no desire to fight at all!
"That, Zhu Chengyong, let the troops rest."
After Zhu Chengyong was incorporated into the Volunteer Army, he trained very hard and was promoted to the platoon commander of the Volunteer Army. The second pole was as dissatisfied with this staff officer as he was with this unit.
Zhu Chengyong hesitated: "Regiment commander, we have just walked more than thirty miles, it is still early, and the physical strength of the soldiers is no problem, we can continue to march." ”
The eyes of the second pole squinted at him, and he didn't say anything, he put down the package on his body and put on a posture of not leaving: "Lao Tzu is tired, I'll leave tomorrow." ”
Zhu Chengyong's unhappiness immediately showed on his face: "Regiment commander, our task is to hurry to Shanhaiguan to cooperate with the Beiyang Army, the situation there is very critical, I think you should give an order to speed up the pace of the march, not stop." ”
The second pole smiled: "I know that Shanhaiguan is in danger, but boy, do you really think that if you go, it will not be in danger?" ”
He walked to him and suddenly slapped Zhu Chengyong on the shoulder, Zhu Chengyong used to study, and after more than a month of training, he was caught off guard and sat on the ground with a slap from the second pole.
The second pole smiled and bent his waist.
Zhu Chengyong got up from the ground, his face was pale, but he didn't say anything, and let the soldiers camp and rest according to the order of the second pole.
He walked up to the second pole by himself, his face was solemn: "Commander, I obey your orders because you are my commander." You may think it's ridiculous, but I want to tell you that if you're Japanese or Russian, I'm absolutely fighting with you right now. ”
The laughter of the second pole stopped abruptly, and his waist slowly straightened, and he also felt that he was not doing it interestingly. Staring at the figure of Zhu Chengyong leaving, the second pole muttered: "It's fucking hard!" If you really want to clean you up, you can't even take out a gun. ”
Before the camp was set up, the soldier who had just been sent out to guard ran back quickly, and the soldier's face was very nervous: "Report to the regiment commander!" We found a Russian unit in front! ”
The second pole was stunned when he heard it: "How many people?" ”
"Not much, five or six hundred people, and a dozen of the kind of iron turtles we saw when we were in Heilongjiang! They were also heading in the direction of Shanhaiguan. ”
The Russians' attack at Shanhaiguan was very sharp, and the overwhelming artillery fire hung over the heads of the Beiyang Army all day, and there was accurate news from Akburier that the casualties of the soldiers of the Beiyang Army were about 4,000 to 5,000 a day, and Shanhaiguan had become a place where the Russians strangled the lives of the Chinese with artillery fire.
But Yuan Shikai is really crazy, the Russians' artillery fire does not stop, his reinforcements do not stop, every day new reinforcements are put in, they are blown up, and then they are put in again the next day. The Russians lost their patience with such a battle, and Akberil realized that it could not be fought like this again.
Because the battlefield is the best place to train soldiers, the artillery fire caused heavy casualties to the Beiyang Army, but the surviving soldiers became real soldiers day by day! So Akberlir told Commander Kuropatkin that it was necessary to break through the Shanhai Pass immediately, which was no longer a political necessity, but also a military one.
Commander Kuropatkin immediately sent reinforcements over, and this time also sent out the only twenty Russian infantry fighting vehicles in the Far East. Although this infantry fighting vehicle is the latest weapon of the Russian military, after it appeared, because its performance in the Heilongjiang Battle was not very good, it moved slowly, its firepower was weak, and it was also limited by the terrain, so it had no assault ability and no ability to attack fortifications, so all countries in the world did not pay attention to it.
Even the Russians themselves do not intend to produce any more.
But there is a saying that is very true, it is not the people who use it and the people who observe it that have the most say in a weapon, but those who directly face it. Whether this infantry fighting vehicle is useful or not, no one knows better than the two-pole!
One of his own battalion brothers was killed by two such guys, and the feeling of powerlessness in his heart when he was hit by his iron shell was unknown to the Russians.
I don't know if it's the luck of the second pole or the bad luck of the Russians! Lao Maozi's dozen infantry fighting vehicles happened to be collided with his troops again. The distance between the two sides was not too far, and the direction of the march was exactly the same, and the two poles knew that if they did not kill this force, then they would have to find another way to go.
I didn't rest at the moment, and I took the miscellaneous team around me to see what was going on.
The second pole quietly followed the Russians for more than ten miles. The Russians seemed to be marching alone, and there were no other Russian troops on the left and right, and the second pole had the urge to hit it, but the infantry vehicle caused him a psychological shadow at the beginning, but he didn't dare to move these guys. (To be continued......)
