Chapter 241: The Big Plan
After listening to Zhang Zhidong's envoy's answer, Yang Xingguo subconsciously refused. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because, the limited rifle in his hand has been sold to Yuan Shikai. There was no extra rifle to sell to Zhang Zhidong at all.
However, with such a big business, Yang Xingguo didn't want to give up just like that.
Outside the pass, which is inaccessible and has very few resources and materials, everything is urgently needed by the Liaodong Army.
Now some people take the initiative to deliver the materials and resources they urgently need to their own hands, and if they miss it, they may not have such a good opportunity.
However, he didn't have any extra rifles in his hands to sell to Zhang Zhidong in exchange for resources and supplies......
Just when Yang Xingguo looked hesitant and thought about a solution.
A very bold idea immediately flashed through Yang Xingguo's mind.
Japan and Russia are engaged in a life-and-death war in Liaodong.
In such a large-scale battle, it can be said that there are as many weapons as you want.
Since he didn't have any extra weapons at hand, he grabbed them from Japan and Russia and became a fisherman in advance......
Thinking of this, Yang Xingguo's eyes lit up, and he asked the envoy directly.
"When are you going to get these rifles......
"The sooner the better......," Zhang Zhidong's envoy replied without thinking.
After a short hesitation, Yang Xingguo decided: "Then ...... in a month"
"However, for this batch of weapons, I want half of the food and half of the silver......"
"Besides, you'd better bring hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. When the time comes, I'll be in a happy mood, and maybe I'll be able to sell you some heavy machine guns and artillery that you can't buy. ”
The envoy's face was overjoyed, and he replied excitedly: "Commander Xie Yang...... In a month, we will send the grain and silver to Liaozhong by sea."
At the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, as soon as Yang Xingguo said his thoughts, Sun Liechen, who had gradually adapted to the role of chief of staff, bluntly reminded Yang Xingguo.
"Commander, you're gambling ......"
"Two-thirds of the entire army is expanding and reorganizing, so how can it be possible to fight against the two major powers of Japan and Russia in such a short period of time."
Zhou Zhongju also reminded worriedly: "Yes." Commander ......"
"The troops deployed on the battlefield by Lao Maozi and the two great powers of Japan have exceeded 50,000. As far as our Liaodong Army can mobilize this little force, after entering the battlefield, maybe the whole army will be wiped out without even making a splash......"
Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "Frontal battlefield, whether it is the Japanese or Lao Maozi." None of us are opponents......"
"So, even if I'm a fool, I won't let my brothers go to the eggs and touch the stones, and fight on the frontal battlefield between Lao Maozi and the Japanese."
Zhou Zhongju, who was a lot relieved, hurriedly asked, "Then commander, do you want it?" ”
"We now have three infantry regiments, a cavalry battalion, and a field artillery regiment at our disposal." Yang Xingguo analyzed.
"I decide. Take two regiments, a cavalry battalion, touch the rear of the Japanese, and take down a Japanese arsenal......"
"In order to win the decisive battle of Liaoyang, the Japanese have been transporting a large number of weapons and ammunition from China every day for a month."
"Not surprisingly, all these weapons and ammunition were stored in several county towns that had just been occupied by the Japanese."
"If we can take one of the counties, we will get an arsenal of Japanese weapons. Whether it's a rifle or ammunition, we can get it all at once. ”
Sun Liechen's brows furrowed. He reminded: "The arsenal...... Commander, a target as large as an arsenal, the Japanese will definitely defend it with heavy troops. You only have two regiments and a cavalry battalion, can you take it? ”
"Also, the Japanese have tens of thousands of people on the front line, if you can't take the arsenal in a short time. Wait for the Japanese to react, and you will be surrounded by heavy Japanese troops. “
"When the time comes, the strength of the two regiments will definitely not be able to break through the heavy interception of the Japanese army......"
"This operation is simply too dangerous, as Chief of Staff. I don't agree with this plan! ”
Sun Liechen's opposition not only did not arouse the slightest anger of Yang Xingguo, but also made Yang Xingguo feel very gratified.
Because, Sun Liechen's words. has already told Yang Xingguo invisibly.
Sun Liechen has been fully integrated into the role of chief of staff of the Liaodong Army. Not only that, but even Sun Liechen's heart has been tied to the rise and fall of the Liaodong Army, and he began to think about things for the Liaodong Army.
So, at this moment, Yang Xingguo actually smiled. And he smiled very happily.
Just when Sun Liechen and Zhou Zhongju showed puzzled expressions on their faces, Yang Xingguo spoke.
In his own relaxed tone, he asked rhetorically, "Heavy soldiers...... Chief of Staff, you also think too highly of the Japanese. ”
"The strength of the Japanese army in Liaozhong is indeed tens of thousands. However, these tens of thousands of Japanese troops were all arranged in the positions of confrontation with Lao Maozi. Even if the arsenals behind them are important and they want to send heavy troops to protect them, they don't have the extra troops to send out......"
Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo continued to say to the two: "Don't worry, I, Yang Xingguo, have always been a person who only takes advantage of advantages and does not suffer losses, and I will never be impulsive enough to risk the lives of myself and thousands of brothers......"
Having said this, Zhou Zhongju and Sun Liechen obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Sun Liechen did not intend to let Yang Xingguo go like this.
After a short hesitation, he said to Yang Xingguo: "Commander, I don't dare to stop you if you insist so much." However, it is necessary for the intelligence department to conduct reconnaissance first, and then decide whether to act or not after the information is available......."
"You can ......," Yang Xingguo affirmed and ordered casually.
"The special operations detachment also passed...... Ordered Zhang Shanlin to dispatch 200 team members, and he personally led the team to investigate. ”
"I give him five days, and after five days, I want to be ......"
When Yang Xingguo began to prepare for the next war, the first deal between the Liaodong Army and the Beiyang New Army had already begun.
Because of the large amount of grain, even if Yuan Shikai has great ability, it is impossible to send hundreds of millions of catties of grain to Liaozhong at one time.
As a result, the first deal between the two sides consisted of only 1,000 rifles and 100,000 rounds of ammunition.
But even so, the Beiyang New Army transported more than 40 million catties of grain at one time.
Even if Zhou Zhongju transferred all the carriages that could be used in Liaozhong, it would take a whole day to transport all the grain on more than a dozen large ships back to Liaozhong.
The Liaodong Army did not break its promise.
As soon as the grain was delivered, ten truckloads of weapons and ammunition were sent to the Beiyang New Army for acceptance.
Although these rifles are not brand new, they are still available.
The officer of the Beiyang New Army who led the team picked up an empty rifle without bullets, pulled the bolt, took aim, and pulled the trigger......
After a series of very sophisticated movements, he directly opened his mouth and sighed.
"Good gun...... Simple, practical, and easier to maintain than the rifles we bought back from Germany. “
After listening to the officer's evaluation, the special envoy Yuan Shikai, who organized the entire transaction, was obviously relieved.
Facing Zhou Zhongju, he said happily: "Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou, happy cooperation." The second batch of grain brought by our Lord Yuan will be here in five days, please prepare your weapons and ammunition. (To be continued.) )
