Chapter 205: Distribution of the Spoils of War
Tsarist Russia was bent on occupying northeastern China, carrying out the "Yellow Russia" plan in northeast China and turning northeast China into a part of Russia. After the end of the First Sino-Japanese War, Tsarist Russia threatened the Qing court with its intervention in Liao, built railways in the northeast, and at the same time sent a large number of inland river ships suitable for navigation in the Heilongjiang and Songhua rivers, and by 1900 there were more than 300 inland river ships of various types.
Lieutenant General Alekseev realized that the three brigades of the army might be completely annihilated, and immediately sent a telegram to the river ships to the north along the Liao River to rescue. Huaxia is extremely lacking in artillery for both the player army and the NPC army, and the Tsarist Russian inland river ships have been wreaking havoc in the Liao River, cutting off the retreat of the Tsarist Russian infantry brigade and killing most of the players who were killed by the shelling and machine gun fire of the river gunboats.
After the cavalry occupied the artillery positions of Tsarist Russia, Huaxia finally ushered in a chance for revenge, and the artillery under the command of Chen Hao, under the command of Zhu Ke, turned the guns and fired fiercely at the warships on the Liao River. The artillery battalion under the command of Jin Chang, after completely annihilating the encircled Tsarist army, also aimed at the Russian ** ship on the Liao River.
More than 40 river gunboats gathered on the Liao River, and these gunboats were very close to the river bank in order to rescue the troops on the shore, and after the cannons began to roar, there were continuous river gunboats on fire. Since Lieutenant General Alekseev was still there, the gunboats did not dare to give up the rescue, but only tried to get as close to the river bank as possible.
After discovering this, Jin Chang immediately ordered the players who surrounded and suppressed the Tsarist Russian army to slow down their attacks and not kill the Russian commander. Lieutenant General Alekseev was the commander-in-chief of the Southern Route Army, and as long as he was in these gunboats, he would not give up the rescue, and the large number of artillery on the Chinese side could inflict great damage on these damned Russian gunboats.
The whole earth trembled, and the cannonballs kept falling on the Liao River, splashing columns of water several meters high. Eight Russian gunboats on the Liao River were sunk, but the remaining warships were still trying to dock, trying to meet the lieutenant general on the shore and escape. Even if Jin Chang ordered a postponement of the attack, the Huaxia soldiers, despite the machine-gun fire from the warship, firmly blocked the way for Lieutenant General Alekseev to retreat.
Alekseev had only a few dozen soldiers left with him, and he had hoped that the warship would be docked. Seeing that one warship after another was sunk and the troops surrounding Huaxia slowed down their attacks, the lieutenant general quickly understood the plans of the Qing people.
The lieutenant general took out the Browning he was wearing, pointed it at his temple, and said coldly to the officers beside him: "Everyone, we have become the bait of the Chinese, in order to prevent more warships from being sunk, let's be loyal to His Majesty the Tsar."
Lieutenant General Alekseev committed suicide by pulling the trigger, and the remaining officers looked at each other, lacking the courage to commit suicide after all. Major General Moryukin took out a white sermon and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have lost more than 90% of our troops in battle, and we meet the conditions for surrender, and I propose to surrender." ”
The encircled army of Tsarist Russia finally raised the white flag, and the warships on the Liao River chose to leave one after another when they saw that the surrounded Russian army had surrendered. Zhu Ke, who was directing the artillery to open fire, showed a regretful look on his face, if the Russian gunboats had left later, this battle would have achieved greater results.
The war was over, and since the commander-in-chief of this great battle was Jin Chang, Chen Hao had no chance to kill the prisoners even if he disregarded the reduction of prestige. The entire campaign was planned by Wu Peifu, and Wu Peifu's ability value should be increased after the battle, but Chen Hao and Jin Chang together commanded the cavalry to harass the artillery unit led by Lieutenant General Alekseev, and the results achieved were actually very limited.
The officers and soldiers under Jin Chang were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, including the thirty-six artillery pieces looted by the cavalry, which also depended on how Jin Chang distributed them. Chen Hao's official position is the Tongzhi of the Yingkou Zhili Department, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Shengjing General's Mansion, and the deputy capital Jinchang cannot control him. This time, Chen Hao made a plan to report to Jin Chang based on the overall situation, and took the initiative to obey Jin Chang's command, believing that Jin Chang would not let him suffer when reporting to the imperial court and distributing the spoils.
The loot captured by Chen Hao's command will be collected by the reward officer, and then the player will be rewarded according to his merit. Chen Hao's personal reward has to be received by Jinchang, but the personal reward is of little significance to him, he is more concerned about the supplement to the troops. He fought jointly with Jinchang, and the plan was formulated by his subordinate Wu Peifu, so in any case, Jinchang should give a part of the spoils to the sixth battalion of Yingkou.
The booty allocated by Jin Chang to the Yingkou patrol battalion did not belong to Chen Hao's private property, but to the public, and if Chen Hao transferred these things, he would not be able to take them. Of course, as long as Chen Hao, who is the prefect of Yingkou, does not do too much, it is no problem to be greedy for a part of his private army, otherwise this official position of the fifth grade will be in vain.
After cleaning the battlefield, Chen Hao received a system prompt; "Player Chen Baxian, congratulations on your participation in the 'Battle of Dongchangbao', since you participated in the formulation of this battle plan, your strategic analysis attribute has increased by 2 points."
Chen Hao couldn't help but be stunned when he received the system prompt, this time the plan was obviously formulated by Wu Peifu, how did he participate in the formulation? However, he soon understood that Wu Peifu and Yang Du, the heroes of this battle, were his subordinates, and after formulating the plan, he sent his subordinates to deliver false news and participated in the entire planning process, and it was reasonable for the system to reward him for strategic analysis.
Jin Chang quickly came to the door, and he laughed heartily: "Brother Chen Baxian, this battle is really happy, I didn't expect to achieve such a big result, annihilating more than 30,000 Russians." When you reported the plan to me, brother, although I thought the plan was very good, I didn't have confidence, I didn't expect that my brother had a lot of people under him, and he could achieve such a big victory. ”
Chen Hao said very modestly: "It's all the commanders of the Dutong who are meritorious, and the soldiers under them use their lives, otherwise there will be no way to achieve a big victory." ”
Jin Chang waved his hand and said: "There is no need to say more polite words, this time Brother Chen and I harassed the Russians together, and the direct credit is not much, but the role played is obvious to all." I'm ashamed to say that this war should have been led by Brother Chen, but because I am an aboriginal and you are a stranger, I became the commander-in-chief of this war. Brother Baxian has also made some contributions as my lieutenant general, tell me what reward you need personally, and I will try my best to arrange it for you. ”
Jin Chang said very frankly, Chen Hao's direct commander in this battle received very little credit, and he would not receive much reward personally. However, because Wu Peifu and Yang Du are both Yingkou officials, this time the overall plan is planned by the two of them, and the overall combat achievements of the Yingkou troops are no less than those of Jinchang's Yuzi Battalion, and Jinchang's character should be indispensable to the benefits of Yingkou.
Jin Chang now asked Chen Hao what reward he personally needed, although Chen Hao said that he did not have many personal achievements, he would not be polite to Jin Chang. He said naturally: "Lord Dutong, Vice Admiral Alekseev committed suicide, he is the commander of the Southern Route Army of Tsarist Russia, I don't know if there are any drawings or anything on him?" ”
Jin Chang's face was stunned, and he smiled bitterly: "Brother Chen, Lieutenant General Alekseev does have a blueprint for the construction of a B-level command headquarters on him, but this time your personal merits do not meet the reward conditions, and I have already rewarded the Inhuman Xuanyuan Sword." This time he was able to completely annihilate the Russian army, and he commanded the players in the forward position to fight bloodily and made a great contribution, so ......"
Chen Hao was very depressed in his heart, Jin Chang didn't reward him with the drawings of the headquarters, but rewarded his old enemy. However, Xuanyuan's performance was worthy of this drawing, and when the Russian gunboats on the Liao River began to strafe, many people wanted to abandon their positions, and it was he who called on his cronies to resist bravely and infected other players. Holding the position in the face of being flanked from both sides created the conditions for the total annihilation of the Russian army.
Seeing Chen Hao's depressed expression, Jin Chang smiled and took out a delicate Browning pistol and said: "This handcuff is Lieutenant General Alekseev's matching gun, as well as this C-level barracks construction drawing, I think it is most cost-effective to reward you with these two items with your personal merits, Brother Chen." ”
Chen Hao took the two items handed over by Jin Chang, the Browning pistol had similar attributes to the one he mailed to Ban Qianqian, and it was also a deluxe version. Chen Hao has a noble version of the Mauser pistol, and he has always had no love for Browning, and this Browning happened to be mailed to Ban Qianqian to make her a double gun.
Of all the architectural drawings, the barracks construction drawings are the cheapest drawings, and the money required to build the barracks is also the lowest. It is impossible for any force not to build barracks after establishing a base area, because after recruiting soldiers, they must be stationed in barracks, and the training ground in the barracks can improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under their command.
Chen Hao knew that his personal achievements in this war were not great, and getting these two rewards was already a face-saving thing for Jinchang, so he arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Jinchang." ”
Jin Chang laughed and said, "Brother Chen, you don't have to be so polite, you and I will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Although your personal exploits this time are not much, but you and I have cooperated to annihilate the Russians, and there is not much of the captured spoils except for the guns left after rewarding the Inhumans, but there are still thirty-six artillery pieces, you and I will discuss ......"
After getting 1,200 Manxiali from Zengqi, Chen Hao's men were no longer short of guns, and the loot he was most concerned about this time was artillery. Of the 36 captured Russian guns, 16 were 12-pounderers, 12 were 10-pounderers, and 8 were 6-pounderers. Although he didn't have so many artillery under his command, he didn't want to give up to Jin Chang when he thought that with these artillery, his troops would have one more artillery battalion.
Jin Chang also had a soft spot for artillery, and he took the initiative to use his rifle to distribute it to the Yingkou army, leaving all the artillery. Before he finished speaking, Chen Hao took the initiative to speak: "Lord Dutong, I will cooperate in this battle, and the loot should also be added to five, how about I divide sixteen 12-pounder guns?" ”
Jin Chang's face darkened, the captured cannon was the most powerful than the 12-pounder gun, as long as 10 guns were worth more than other artillery, this kid still wanted sixteen. After listening to Chen Hao's words, he shook his head without hesitation and said: "Impossible, my Yuzi battalion lacks heavy artillery, and your battalion is only six battalion heads, and eight 6-pounder guns are enough." ”
