Lao Yuan laughed: "This Yang fights ghosts, he is really deep in the trickery of using soldiers!" Even Lao Tzu was deceived by him. The day before yesterday, he received a telegram from the Northeast in his name, and today he actually arrived at Shanhaiguan! ”

Duan Qirui's eyes had been looking for something on the map, and at this time he pointed his finger at the long mountain range of the Great Xing'an Mountains: "President, if my estimate is correct, he is coming from here!" The Volunteers must have been day and night, probably seven or eight days before they set out! ”

Yuan Shikai waved his hand, this ally is really too crucial! If you can't do it, like Huang Daxia, you will make trouble for yourself. And a good ally is like Yang Da Ghost, who suddenly appears when he needs help the most.

"Not to mention where he came from, from Shanhaiguan to Miyun, is a day and a half enough?"

Jiang Baili nodded: "After passing the Shanhai Pass, the volunteers will suddenly open up in the rear of the Russians, and there will be no need to hide, Commander Yang will definitely come directly from the main road." The big army may not be that fast, but the vanguard can definitely get there! ”

"Good!"

This Yuan Shikai shouted with a full of anger: "Since he told us that he is coming to Miyun, then I think we have to cooperate, you can see what to do?" ”

Jiang Baili looked at the map and said: "It can be seen from Commander Yang's choice of Miyun that his original intention may be to launch an attack from the Russian rear immediately, and then cut the Russian army's front from it and divide the Russian troops into two!" But now because of the emergence of the revolutionary army, the Russian army has been divided into two parts, I think, we can cooperate with the volunteers, let General Feng Guozhang take the initiative to attack, and kill our frontal enemy! ”

Lao Yuan asked: "Where is Huang Xing?" ”

Jiang Baili said very simply: "Don't care about him." ”

Duan Qirui did not object at this time, it was indeed much wiser to cooperate with the Volunteer Army than with the Revolutionary Army. First of all, as long as the Russian troops in front of Feng Guozhang are defeated, the Russians who surrounded Huang Xing will have no way out!

There is also the fact that to win this battle, the Lao Maozi Front will inevitably retreat. At that time, the siege of Beijing would be temporarily lifted, and the Volunteer Brigade would enter the city, and even if the revolutionary army was killed by the Russians outside the city, it would not matter morale.

Duan Qirui was so excited that he even reverted to his former title, to say that he was really beaten here by the Russians from Jinzhou, which Beiyang Army's heart is comfortable? Now if you seize an opportunity to beat it back, of course you won't let it go: "Big brother!" Baili is absolutely right, let's fight!"

Duan Qirui and Jiang Baili are not rice buckets, and Lao Yuan also started by joining the army. When the Russian reinforcements did not come, Yang Dagui had already arrived, and Lao Maozi's troops were scattered. What are you waiting for if you don't fight back at this time? Wait for the Russians to concentrate again or for their reinforcements to come too?

Yuan Shikai nodded with a smile: "Fight!" Baili immediately made a battle plan, the main attacking troops had to be arranged, and a team had to be sent to block the Russian troops in Gu'an to prevent them from coming back. Then talk to Commander Yang, let's fight first! ”

Jiang Baili stood upright: "Yes!" ”

At this moment, Yuan Shikai really felt that his blood was boiling, and this feeling had not been experienced for decades! The war of the Beiyang Army, if strictly speaking, was the first shot fired by Mao Shaowen, the Jinzhou town guard, with a group of civilian troops who were unwilling to evacuate their hometowns.

The Beiyang Army first lost Jinzhou and then Jianchang, and then Shanhaiguan was also lost. Until he was killed by the Russians to the edge of the city of Beijing. In the past three months, the Beiyang Army has lost nearly 300,000 soldiers and thousands of miles of land!

300,000! If it weren't for the support of the common people, if it weren't for those parents who sent their children to Beiyang, it wasn't for those wives who sent their husbands to the battlefield. Yuan Shikai couldn't hold it for a long time!

Now, Lao Yuan is finally about to blow the horn of a counterattack. Lao Yuan knew that even if this battle was won, it would not mean the end of the war, because the forces mobilized by Lao Maozi had not yet been in place, and they could now be said to be only using the Far Eastern Army to compete with the whole of China.

But if Ackberil is defeated. It is really very beneficial to Yuan Shikai. Not to mention politically, from a military point of view, at least the future front will not be placed under the city of Beijing. Placing the front here means that China cannot afford to make a single mistake. And the Russians' cannon was really loud, and Lao Yuan couldn't sleep every night.

With a long breath in his heart, Lao Yuan's face showed a relaxed smile, and he rolled his eyes and felt that there was one more thing that must be done immediately: "Zhiquan, after Yang Dagui enters Beijing, I plan to appoint him as the chief of the army." ”

Although Duan Qirui attaches great importance to this position, if it is Commander Yang who sits up, he is still convinced: "Listen to the arrangement of the eldest brother." ”

"If you don't have any opinions, when they arrive outside the city the day after tomorrow, you go to the newspaper office and send a telegram, just say that all the soldiers of the Beiyang Army welcome the Beiyang Army Commander, remember, you must say that we are the Beiyang Army Commander."

Duan Qirui responded: "Yes." ”

Jiang Baili, who was next to him, heard Yuan Shikai say this, and his mouth moved twice, and finally he didn't make a sound. Once Yang Xiaolin became the commander-in-chief of the Beiyang Army, the Volunteer Army would be the Beiyang Army. Jiang Baili always felt that there was a war now, and the two sides needed to cooperate sincerely. Lao Yuan's small actions seem to be a little inauthentic.

He also knew about Yuan Shikai and knew that Yuan Gong liked to do such things. It must be that Yuan Shikai felt that he didn't react to the matter of appointing Wang Jinhan last time, so he tried it again, if Yang Xiaolin hadn't reacted this time, then Old Yuan would almost know how to talk about the merger.

Of course, just like the last time, there should be some retreat when tempting, so that in case the volunteers do not accept it, both sides can take a step back smoothly, and will not be stiffened because they can't wipe their face. Therefore, the ceremony to welcome the Volunteers must be prepared, and Zuyang must be given face!

All the Beiyang soldiers in Beijing immediately gathered, and the troops with guns on their backs shuttled back and forth on the streets, and the common people could see that this was about to take a big action. Grabbed some of the running GIs and asked, although the GIs didn't know why they were gathering, and the officers who knew the details didn't say anything, but there were still some cautious people who immediately thought that maybe something had happened outside the city, and maybe the victory or defeat would come out in these two days.

Shanhaiguan, in fact, Commander Yang's team has not completely come over, but the vanguard has indeed occupied this place.

The Russians were still very well defended here, and Akberil put five regiments and more than 6,000 men to guard this line. The line of defense is very strong. Duan Qirui built perfect fortifications when he was stationed at Shanhaiguan, and the Russians only needed to strengthen it a little, according to Akeberil's understanding of the combat effectiveness of the volunteers, it would be difficult for any unit in Yang Dagui's command to break through this line of defense in a short period of time.

But this time the volunteers surprised him again, Li Debiao attacked the front, and the two poles flanked him, and these two guys took less than two hours from preparing to attack to occupying the defensive line, that is, a charge.

To be exact. It was Li Debiao who attracted the Russian troops on the frontal battlefield, and then launched a round of charges from the flank and swept the entire Russian position. Li Debiao was stunned by the charge of the second pole, more than a dozen infantry vehicles came up side by side, and this guy's machine gun bullets couldn't sweep in at all! plus the more than 200 submachine guns in the hands of the second pole, it is almost on the march on Lao Maozi's position!

When the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, Li Debiao's eyes were staring at those infantry vehicles, and the two poles really had his own set of methods on the battlefield! After taking it from Lao Maozi's hand, he let the soldiers practice while marching, and he actually figured out a set of fighting methods by himself.

He didn't know much about armored tactics, and the infantry vehicles of this era could not meet the requirements of the steel torrent in the future. The method of the second pole is actually very simple, not that people follow the car. He was letting the car follow the people.

It was the soldiers who charged, and the car was just a moving bunker in his hands. When charging, the machine gun on the roof of the car was used to suppress the enemy's fire, and the covering soldiers rushed forward. The soldiers and the other side scuffled together, and then got on the car, not rushing into the opponent's position. As soon as a dozen cars stopped thirty or forty meters in front of the opponent's position, it was equivalent to a dozen pillboxes, and they could be placed wherever they wanted.

The second pole also specially invented a special trench for infantry vehicles. It is to dig a small soil pit with a slope in the ground, which can play a role in protecting the tires. The car can be parked inside and you can shoot at the enemy as much as you want.

If this approach is seen by the armored soldiers in the future, they will be scolded to death, but Lao Maozi's position was beaten down by him like this.

After the battle, the battlefield began to be cleaned, and Li Debiao stood next to the second pole. His eyes were fixed on the infantry vehicles and he couldn't take them off. The tires of a few cars are still broken, but fortunately, the Russians have their own spare tires, and the gang under the second pole will change them, and they are being repaired at this time.

Li Debiao looked at it for a while and said, "Pole, where did you get these things?" ”

The second pole sat on the roof of the car and blew the mountain wind, his face was extremely proud: "Where else can I come from?" The old man snatched it in his hand. What's the matter, Brother Biao, come up and I'll take you around? ”

Li Debiao's mouth shook, then licked his face and raised his head and said to the second pole: "Second pole, Brother Biao has something to discuss with you, you see how many of your cars, can you give me two?" ”

The second pole smiled on the roof of the car: "Brother Biao, it's not that I won't send you." You said that our friendship, mine is yours, are you right? The point is that you won't drive! Do you know what a single cylinder is? What a four-stroke is, you know? ”

Li Debiao really doesn't know! But he knows one thing, will he learn the things that can be driven by these two poles? Seeing this kid sitting on the roof of the car, Li Debiao was annoyed, and reached out to grab the lower leg of the second pole and pull it down: "You come down for me!" ”

The second pole was pulled to the ground by him in response, and he almost fell.

"What? Want to practice? ”

Li Debiao knows that it's useless to be fierce with a guy like Erpole, you have to coax him. So a smile immediately appeared on his face: "What are you practicing?" Brother is almost thirty, how can he still practice you? Letting you down is to get down to business. ”

The second pole put away his posture of wanting to hit someone: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Li Debiao hugged his shoulder: "Pole, you said that there are not many of our old brothers now, and our brothers will have to help each other in the future no matter what, right?" ”

The second pole nodded: "Well, this is true, I love to hear it, but don't hit my idea of this car." ”

Li Debiao glared at him: "Am I that kind of person?" Listen to me! ”

Seeing that the second pole stopped talking, Li Debiao suddenly sighed, and then put on a serious attitude: "Pole, look at our current team, none of us thought that there would be today in Yulu Mountain, right?" I went to Beijing this time, and I made it clear that on the issue of troop reorganization, we must reorganize the Beiyang Army, and in the future, people like my brother and I will also be the founding generals! And those old brothers, who are not division commanders and brigade commanders now? To be honest, I'm really worried about you, you said that you are now in front of this little regiment, Brother Biao really wants to pull you. (To be continued......)
