344 Strategic Deployment

Lin Yuan continued: "I know that the impeller on the compressor needs to be machined with high-precision CNC machine tools, and although the machine tools of our Beijing shipboard maintenance center can complete this work, it takes too much time. ”

Liao Ming said: "If it is used on the ground, the requirements are much lower, we can cast the relevant parts, rather than the method of machining, such as the woodmaker of ironmaking, the housekeeper of copper smelting, they are all proficient in the casting process, our compressor does not need to be made too accurate, just enough, and these craftsmen are very skillful, can make those special shapes." ”

Next, Guan Yeqi and Mu Er began to manufacture centrifugal impellers, which were soon manufactured and put into use, and with the advanced refrigerants on the Beijing ship, the cracking of oil was also very smooth.

Soon, the first batch of rubber was manufactured, the mountain combatants were replaced with new combat boots, the effectiveness of mountaineering training was greatly improved, nitroglycerin production was also smooth, and nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin were filled into rockets.

The 40mm rocket designed by Luo Chaoying also uses an armor-shattering warhead, which is not only capable of tearing through the bunker, but also has a strong explosion power due to its large charge, which can be used against various targets.

Lin Yuan personally sent a batch of 40-millimeter rocket launchers and rockets to the mountain division, and also tested their training by the way, Lin Yuan just walked into the training ground, he heard a rapid whistle, and the soldiers training on the field immediately stopped what they were doing and stood up facing the whistle.

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and an officer put a notebook he was reading in his pocket, then ran to him, stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "Report Comrade Commander, the first battalion of the Mountain Division is training, please instruct, battalion attendant, Liu Nineteen!" ”

Lin Yuan returned the salute and said, "Continue training." ”

Liu Shijiu saluted again with a "snap", and replied loudly: "Yes!" Then he turned around and shouted to all the fighters on the training ground: "Keep training!" "Give the order, and the warriors will continue with what they are doing.

When the superiors enter the training ground, the subordinates need to stand upright under the command of the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief will ask for instructions and report, which is exactly what is stipulated in the regulations of our army, Lin Yuan did not expect Chen Fei to teach them this.

This Liu Shijiu is the one who made great contributions when Lin Yuan attacked the mountain with a surprise army before, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, now I am the battalion commander." ”

Liu Shijiu smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's all Senior Chen who values me. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What did you just see?" ”

Liu Shijiu took out a booklet from his coat pocket and said, "This is to teach us to read and write, and Master Chen said that the modern army must be educated." ”

Lin Yuan nodded, encouraged him a few words, and went to find Chen Fei, and when he saw Chen Fei, he said, "I didn't expect you to teach them the set of instructions and reports." ”

Chen Fei said with a smile: "Isn't this what you said, our construction should be regularized, I don't want to make up a set of queue regulations by myself, just follow the original way, by the way, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I'm here to give you a baby, ten 40-mm rocket launchers, 200 40-mm rockets, you try them first." ”

Chen Fei said: "Well, it's good, let's try it out, and if there are any deficiencies, we will give feedback to the arsenal in time." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "You are now equipped with a BQ95 automatic rifle, a QJQ95 light machine gun, a sixty-millimeter mortar and a forty-millimeter rocket launcher, and the firepower is incomparable, but I also have a secret weapon for you, which is the inspiration given to me by organic chemicals." ”

Chen Fei hurriedly asked, "What is that?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I can't tell you yet, but then you will know the way." ”

Chen Fei said: "If you don't tell me now, how can we train the soldiers to use it!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "You send a few soldiers to the arsenal and try it out there, and you must keep this weapon secret." Chen Fei nodded, and Lin Yuan said: "Your number is the Sixth Division, I will give you twenty days to prepare, on the first day of October, you will board the military column and rush to the city of the three surnames, and then you will launch an attack on the Wandashan Fortress!" ”

Chen Fei asked, "Why do you want to finish the Dashan Fortress first?" ”

Lin Yuan pointed to a map on the wall and said: "You see, Khabarovsk, Wandashan Fortress, Ussuriysk, Vladivostok, these four places are connected in a line, if we capture Wandashan Fortress, whether it is to the north or south, it will form a outflanking trend for the Russian army, as long as this place is taken, we can use the Ussuri River to reach the other three places, and at that time, we can capture them all!" ”

After Lin Yuan finished arranging the tasks of the Sixth Division, he began to mobilize other troops, and the first division was responsible for the main attack, but the third brigade was missing, and this brigade was stationed in Lushun Military Port and Andong to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of the weakness. Lin Yuan knew very well that as long as he made a move in the Wandashan fortress, the Russian army would attack from four directions, so he must be prepared for defense, among which the second division stationed in Qiqihar had the heaviest burden, and once the Russian army in Blagoveshchensk in the north and Nerchensk in the northwest launched an attack, Qiqihar would bear the brunt!

What's even more disadvantageous is that the Russian army occupies the important passes of the Great and Small Khing'an Mountains, so there is no worry about attacking at all, and the second division is a newly formed unit that lacks combat experience, so Lin Yuan transferred the independent first brigade over.

Lahasusu and Sanshi City are also very important, these two places will be the basis for their own attack on Wandarshan Fortress, if there is the slightest problem in these two places, then the plan to attack Wandashan Fortress will come to naught! So Lin Yuan arranged the 3rd Division and the 2nd Independent Brigade here.

Lin Yuan also deployed the Fourth Division on the front line of Laoyeling, Weihuling, and Huagranshan in Jilin to block the Russian attack in the direction of Hunchun and Ussuriysk, although the Fourth Division had no combat experience, because these positions were based on high mountains, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Lin Yuan was still more at ease with them.

The remaining Fifth Division stayed in the area of Mukden and Jinzhou, and Lin Yuan knew that the Russian Pacific Fleet was very strong, and he was very worried that the Russian army would land in the Yingkou area under the cover of the fleet and open up a second battlefield behind him.

After completing the strategic deployment, Lin Yuan still faced a problem, that is: nominally he was a minister of the Qing Dynasty, so he had no power to start a war!

This is not difficult for Lin Yuan, he asked Shen Wanqing to open a column in the newspaper, taking the conflict in Lahassusu as an opportunity, the column mainly introduces Russia's aggression against China, including a series of unequal treaties, the Hailan Bubble tragedy, the newspaper also printed a booklet, distributed free of charge to the general public, the booklet is mainly pictures, the picture of the Russians brutalizing the Chinese gave the ordinary people a great shock.

Lin Yuan asked Tang Fan to write a lyrical article to remember the exploits of Emperor Kangxi in the Battle of Yaxa, Tang Fan said to Lin Yuan: "Sing praises to the feudal emperor, I am about to vomit." ”

Lin Yuan said: "This is for the high-level Qing court, Guangxu and Cixi will definitely not be able to hold back after reading it." ”

Lin Yuan was not miscalculated, and Emperor Guangxu quickly gave Lin Yuan a handwritten edict, asking him to act cheaply in the northeast and recover the land of his ancestors.

Lin Yuan then ordered the 1st Division to march towards the Wandashan Fortress, and on 1 October, the 1st Division's 1st Brigade and 1 Battalion arrived at the outer barrier of the Wandashan Fortress - the Noro River.
