Chapter 153: It's Finally Here (Asking for Subscription)
When Yang Xiaolin received this letter, the Japanese had already begun to prepare for an attack, and Nogi Noshinori's army opened Jiashi to the south of Windy City, and the Japanese army would press towards the three regiments of Windy City with an overwhelming momentum.
At the same time, the Russians' two-way army also set up a pincer to attack Zaitao's jiashi, 50,000 troops from the south and 60,000 troops drawn from Liaoyang to kill the north and south, just when Lao Maozi was determined to win, that night, Zaitao miraculously laid down Fengtian City.
There were only more than 20,000 Russians in Mukden City, and Zaitao sent 60,000 people in, and the rest of the men and horses launched a strong attack outside. When Akberil's attention was attracted by the attack outside the city, the Qing troops quietly infiltrated the city of Mukden, and the old Maozi in the city did not understand where the enemy came out until the Qing army spread the formation.
You must know that at this time, the Russians suffered successive defeats, and their morale was already much worse than before, and in the face of the Qing army emerging from the ground, although Akberil tried his best to prevent resistance, the Russians' fighting consciousness was extremely weak.
When the opponent's sense of battle was not strong, Zaitao's strategy was correct, and his tactics were beyond the expectations of the Russians, and his troops were indeed not so unbearable.
Moreover, Zaitao told these Qing troops who had invaded Mukden that they would blow up the entrance to the tunnel after they all entered, and they had no other way to go except to defeat the Russians! The Qing army that entered the city was really in ruins, although there was a big gap between them and the Russians in terms of military quality. But in the street fighting, 60,000 men fought 20,000. One side fought to the death and the other side did not have much sense of fighting, and after paying 20,000 casualties, they drove the Russians out of Mukden!
The ensuing battle was simple, Zaitao attacked in front and rear, the Russian troops stationed in Mukden could not support it, and the three lines of defense outside the city were captured by the Qing army within six hours. The military deployment of Commander Kuropatkin was disrupted at once, and the Russians had to change a siege battle into a storm, which was too cruel for the demoralized old Maozi.
By the time the sun came out in the early morning, Zaitao's troops had cleared the remnants of the Russian soldiers in Mukden, and he sent a telegram to Zaifeng in Beijing. It is said that Mukden has been recaptured, annihilating more than 7,000 Russian troops and capturing more than 2,000 alive!
When they received this telegram, Zaifeng, Tie Liang and the others were stunned, they couldn't believe it was true! But Zaitao is a person, they know it very well. This kid has all the shortcomings, but he never lies about the military situation!
For a while, Zaifeng and Tie Liang didn't know what to do! They are very experienced in how to deal with them after defeating the battle, but what to do if they win this battle? The two of them really don't know! They can't be blamed for this, the Qing Dynasty has not known what victory is for many years.
However, one thing is certain, after the news of Zaitao's recapture of Fengtian spreads, it will be beneficial to the Qing Dynasty, and at least it can save a little bit of the image of the Qing Dynasty in the minds of the common people.
In the end, Tie Liang felt that this matter should be reported immediately, and at the same time. It seems that it should be said to Lafayette, whether Zaitao is guilty or not, he defeated the Russians! This shows that the troops of the Qing Dynasty are very powerful! Lafayette should be made happy too.
Yang Xiaolin looked at the four words that Zaitao wrote to him, and asked with a smile: "Huizi, this seems to be the word in Qin Feng, right?" I remember that people said that they had the same enmity with the son, and Zaitao weishenme said that they had the same enmity with you? What does this 'er' mean? ”
Yang Du also smiled: "This 'son' means brother." The word 'er' is a Chinese word, and in the Qin Dynasty, it was more often a polite term for enemies or unfamiliar people. ”
Yang Xiaolin realized: "Oh. It turns out that this is the case, it seems that Zaitao's culture is higher than mine. ”…,
Yang Du glanced at Yang Xiaolin, with a look of contempt. No matter how good people Zaitao is, he also came back from abroad, and Yang Jiang was just a Qing army commander before, did he ever study in a private school? Have you ever been a showman? Does he have culture? Yang Du didn't bother to express doubts at all.
Of course, Yang Xiaolin would not tell him that he graduated from high school. He crumpled up the paper with the four words written on it and threw it out casually: "This word is so good!" Zaitao must have known that when he finished beating Lao Maozi and the Japanese, Lao Tzu would dig up their Manchu ancestral graves. At that time, he will not be with me. ”
Yang Du was stunned for a moment: "Commander, are you really ready for a revolution?" ”
Yang Xiaolin glanced at him: "Can't you?" ”
Yang Du shook his head: "I think revolution is better than rebellion!" For today's China, the most suitable thing is a constitutional monarchy! You should always see that Japan has a new look after the Meiji Restoration, and if you hadn't done the Russians a few great favors in this Russo-Japanese War, they would have lost very badly! This is the advantage of the constitutional system! ”
Yang Du was still going to continue, but Yang Xiaolin waved his hand to interrupt him: "Huizi, who will be the emperor of the constitution?" ”
Yang Du was stunned for a moment: "Of course it's you!" ”
Yang Xiaolin shook his head and smiled, "Besides, if I really need it, I will do it." ”
What did he not explain, Emperor? It's really tempting, it's fake to say that he doesn't care, Yang Pian is a mortal, of course he is willing to be an emperor, but he always feels that something is not suitable, and he is even more afraid that those revolutionary parties of Zuihou Sun Wen will come to reform their lives again, and make themselves as stinky as Lao Yuan!
It was too early to think about it, and now he had to fight a spring from under the Japanese bayonets, and then push the Manchus into the ditch and drown, before he could consider whether he was an emperor or not.
Yang Xiaolin knew that the battle could start at any time, and after listening to Yang Du's words, he said: "Huizi, you go back first, remember to help me maintain the stability of my family, and I can rest assured when I fight in front." ”
Yang Du said: "Well, I understand. Now there's one thing you need to scoop up ideas. After the start of the war, many of our cooperation projects with the Russians were stopped. All the Russian Jishu personnel were withdrawn, and this had a great impact on us, and some important links in many factories were forced to stop. ”
Yang Xiaolin's brows furrowed. This was what he had expected. But when it really came, it still made him a little at a loss. He also had no choice, just like the Soviets later withdrew experts from New China, he could only stand up and get through.
"Let those factories figure it out on their own! Let Zhou Tong help them, it's really not good, just stop. ”
Yang Du nodded: "Also, there are a few Russians in the base area who are in partnership with us, and there are also some businesses that do business with the Russians, and Lao Maozi has also run away." What about those that need to be in the shares that originally belonged to them? ”
Yang Xiaolin waved his hand: "This must not be moved." Keep these shares with those Russians, wait until the war is over, and find a way to inform them that the money is still there. ”
Yang Du was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Yang Xiaolin would say that he would divide these up, you must know that Yang Dagui has always liked robbery, but now that the money has been delivered to his hand, he actually doesn't want it, and he is still guarded by others, which really surprised Yang Du.
Yang Xiaolin saw Yang Du's suspicion from his expression, and said with a smile: "War is war, business is business." I'm not just a Yang Fighting Ghost now, I'm also Commander Yang. I was not bringing a gang of bandits, but volunteers and nearly 200,000 people in Liaodong. ”
He said here and patted Yang Du on the shoulder: "Huizi." I want to make the Volunteers stronger, I want to make the people happier, and I can't rely on robbery! You can only grab more and more poor! We must develop, we must go out to do business with foreigners, and we must not do anything to kill chickens and take eggs. Even if the Russians really start a war with us, we must protect the private capital of Russia in the base areas. That's how people dare to do business with us. ”…,
Yang Du let out a sigh: "Commander, you have really changed. ”
Just when Yang Xiaolin wanted to say a few more words to him, Biao Zi pushed the door in from the outside: "Report to the commander!" The Japanese army on the front line is already attacking! ”
This sentence made Yang Xiaolin's whole person excited in an instant! He didn't know that he was excited, but the surging in his heart came to his heart: "Okay! Tai Wan Valley. Send the gossip away! Biaozi, go to the front! ”
Windy City was not a base for the Volunteers before, there were originally 30,000 or 40,000 people here before the Russo-Japanese War, and when Yang Xiaolin and the others came, there were still more than 2,000 people in the city.
Now the common people have been taken to the rear by Yang Xiaolin. As soon as the volunteers arrived at the garrison, they began to build fortifications: the city blocked the intersections and opened up every courtyard. The tunnels are dug well. Relying on the Windy City, three field fortifications were quickly built from the city to the outside of the city.
The whole city is a defensive fortress with interconnected and crossfire.
The field fortifications outside the city were mainly ground and underground, and the pillboxes were much stronger than before, thanks to his cooperation with the Russians in engineering during this period.
Also, this time his trench was no longer a trap that could be filled, but a barrier made up of several rows of barbed wire. This method was used by the Russians, and they used trenches and barbed wire in the defense of Lushun, which left a deep memory on General Nogi Noshinori.
Now Yang Xiaolin is doing the same, and his barbed wire is not the same as the Russians, who straighten the wire and have some sharp hooks on it. And Yang Xiaolin's barbed wire is the kind that goes round and round, so that it can withstand the bombardment of the opponent's artillery fire more easily, and it is very difficult for the infantry to cut it smoothly.
Within two kilometers of the barbed wire fence, Yang Xiaolin planted more than 5,000 mines of various kinds. In the distance are buried stone mines that are not too lethal, and these things can serve as an early warning. As soon as little Japan stepped on a mine when it rushed upward, its whereabouts were leaked, which greatly increased the security of its position.
Further back is the very lethal iron mine, the Russians have already used mines on the battlefield this time, and little Japan has also found a way to eliminate mines, but the mines of the volunteers are absolutely impossible for them to eliminate easily.
The mines of the volunteers on Jishu are better than those of the Russians, and these iron mines are basically not far from the position, that is, within the sniper's sniper range, and if you want to eliminate all the more than 2,000 iron mines in front of the position, you can only rely on the small Japanese to use human lives.
If the Japanese had any advantage, it was their artillery fire, and the Volunteers were now relatively blank in the fight against long-range artillery. In order to reduce the damage of Japanese artillery fire to the troops, the soldiers of the Volunteers were still digging tunnels, but the battle preparations at the front were all ready four hours ago.
Yang Xiaolin has been waiting for the Japanese to bump into him headlong to see if the legendary Nogi Noshinori is really so deadly.
