The headquarters of the Japanese Manchurian Army, the commander-in-chief Dashan Yan, gave the order to attack Liaoyang City, and he regretted it not long after. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the most taboo thing about military orders is that the order is changed at a moment's notice, and the attacking troops have already exchanged fire with the Liaodong Army.

Oyama Rock knew at that time that this battle could not end well.

Not only that, but the result of this battle is eighty percent likely to be their own defeat, and it is a fiasco.

However, just when Dashanyan was already mentally prepared for defeat, he did not expect that the troops would be defeated so quickly, and there were almost no casualties to the Liaodong Army.

"Baga, when did the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army become so strong. In less than a day, one division and two artillery wings were wiped out. I want the process, I want to know, how the Liaodong Army did it. ”

Half an hour later, a battle report detailing the course of the battle was delivered to Oyama Yan.

After reading it, Da Shanyan, who was shocked, was almost silent for five minutes without saying a word.

Faced with this situation, the chief of staff could only remind: "Commander-in-chief, after the defeat, our total strength has been sharply reduced to less than 30,000 people. Follow-up reinforcements will arrive in at least ten days, and what to do next, please decide to the commander-in-chief as soon as possible. ”

Da Shanyan didn't seem to hear the chief of staff's reminder, and muttered to himself: "A division, and it's also the main division, just like that, there is no ......"

"If I hadn't been too impulsive, this division would not have been wiped out at all, and I would have lost two artillery wings with it."

After shaking his head helplessly, the chief of staff could only continue to remind: "Commander-in-chief, things have happened, regret is useless, we must plan for the future, less than 30,000 soldiers, how to ensure victory now!" ”

"Victory?" Dashan Yan asked rhetorically with a self-deprecating expression.

"No, the winner of this battle is not us, it is the Liaodong Army, and the Liaodong Army is the real victor......"

"The snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits, the fisherman of the Liaodong Army is really good, we and the Russian army are both losers, and they have been calculated by the Liaodong Army from the beginning."

The chief of staff knew that what Oyama Iwa said was true, but in order not to affect the morale of the troops, he did not intend to continue discussing anything on this issue. Instead, he faced the big mountain rock and repeated the question just now.

At this time, Da Shanyan's sanity had recovered a lot, and after thinking about it, he replied: "The Liaodong Army completely annihilated one of our divisions and two artillery wings, which is a living slap in the face. The military strength of Liaodong tells us that they now have the capital to compete with us. Therefore, we can no longer look at the Liaodong Army with the same eyes as before......"

Dashan Yan, who has always been arrogant, said such discouraged words that the chief of staff could hardly believe his ears.

With an incredulous face, he asked rhetorically: "Commander-in-chief, are you looking too highly at the Liaodong Army?" In any case, the supply of weapons and ammunition for the Liaodong Army came from purchases and seizures. As long as we want, the Liaodong Army will be completely blocked. After a long time, maybe without us attacking, the Liaodong Army will collapse on its own because of the lack of ammunition and food......"

Dashan Yan immediately replied dissatisfiedly: "Baga! Chief of Staff, have we suffered less at the hands of the Liaodong Army? If we continue to despise the Liaodong Army as before, we will still suffer losses, and we will suffer big losses......"

"The Liaodong Army completely annihilated one of our divisions, and this slap hit me well, which woke me up at once and made me realize my previous mistakes. Now, I also hope that the chief of staff will recognize his mistake and attach importance to the Liaodong Army from now on. ”

"Hey......" The chief of staff, who was being stared at tightly by Da Shanyan, could only affirm even if he was unwilling.

After seeing the chief of staff's reaction, Dashan Yan continued: "Of course, attention is important, and we can't be afraid of the Liaodong Army. ”

"You are right just now, as long as the Great Japanese Empire concentrates all its efforts on dealing with the Liaodong Army, it will definitely be able to wipe them out. But the crux of the matter is that in a short period of time, especially before defeating the Russian army, we simply can't concentrate all our strength on dealing with the Liaodong Army! ”

The chief of staff still agreed with this sentence, and asked Dashanyan: "Then commander-in-chief, how should we pay attention to the Liaodong Army." The Liaodong army is too cunning, and it has a big appetite. I'm worried that the more we pay attention to the Liaodong Army, the more we need to pay. ”

"Bage Yalu, I'm also worried about this matter......" Dashan Yan said helplessly.

"The Liaodong Army annihilated one of our divisions with lightning speed, and this slap directly showed us their great strength. There are Russian troops in front of us who are staring at us, and they may come out at any time to bite us, and turn defeat into victory. ”

"We have also offended the powerful neighbor of the Liaodong Army next to us, with the style of the Liaodong Army, as long as there is a chance, they will definitely pounce on us and bite us and take advantage of us."

"Therefore, whether it is the Russian army or the Liaodong Army, we must deploy heavy troops for defense!"

The chief of staff frowned, and subconsciously retorted: "But, commander-in-chief, we don't have that many troops at all. With less than 30,000 soldiers, there is no way to defend against the Liaodong Army if you defend against the Russian army! ”

"Then defend against the Russian army, our biggest enemy is still the Russian army after all!" Oyama Rock decisively decided.

"What about the Liaodong Army? The Liaodong Army just slapped us, and I'm afraid they will take this opportunity to take revenge on us? The chief of staff asked subconsciously.

After thinking about it, Dashanyan replied in a heavy tone: "Take this slap first, and then send someone to the Liaodong Army to apologize." Didn't the Liaodong Army capture thousands of our soldiers? In the name of negotiating prisoners, go to explore the mouth of the Liaodong Army! ”

The chief of staff did not affirm or deny, and said in a heavy tone to Dashanyan: "Commander-in-chief, just in this way, our Manchurian army will definitely be humiliated and ridiculed by others?" ”

"It's better to be humiliated and laughed at than to be destroyed!" Dashan Yan replied without thinking about it.

"The situation here reminds me of a special period in Chinese history, the Three Kingdoms. We, the Russian army, the Liaodong Army, are the Three Kingdoms. We are on par with the strength of the Russian army, and the strength of the Liaodong Army is slightly weaker, in this case, no one can destroy anyone, and can only secretly accumulate strength. If we fail to alleviate the contradictions between us and the Liaodong Army, once the Russian army unites with the Liaodong Army, we will definitely lose. ”

"Therefore, before we have accumulated sufficient strength, we must not be the enemy of the Liaodong Army and push the Liaodong Army to the Russian army."

The chief of staff's eyes lit up and replied thoughtfully: "I have also heard about this period of China's history. Commander-in-chief, I also have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible? ”

"Say?" Da Shanyan replied directly with a deferential posture.

The chief of staff thought about it and replied: "Since the Liaodong Army wants to be a fisherman, is it possible that we will unite with the Russian army to kill this fisherman who is in the way, and then fight a decisive battle to determine the ownership of Manchuria......"

"As far as I know, the Liaodong Army has also taken a lot of advantage from the Russian army, and the Russian army also hates the Liaodong Army. It's just that I'm worried about pushing the Liaodong Army to our side, so I give the Liaodong Army benefits again and again. ”

"In addition, as far as I know, during this period of China's three powers, it is common for the three countries of China to cooperate with each other to attack third parties, and even to cooperate with enemies."

"As long as we put forward this idea, I am sure that there is an eighty percent chance that the Russian army will agree."

For a minute, the silent Da Shan Yan did not speak, but the expression on Da Shan Yan's face was constantly changing.

Because, the chief of staff's proposal is too bold.

However, boldness is boldness, and Dashanyan has to admit that this reminder of the opposite is very feasible.

However, there are also many problems, the first of which is how to ensure that the Japanese and Russian armies trust each other in the operation of encircling and suppressing the Liaodong Army.

As long as there is the slightest sign of mistrust between the two armies, the entire encirclement and suppression operation may fail.

Because, the Liaodong Army is too cunning, as long as the two sides show a little flaw, the Liaodong Army can find an opportunity, give the opponent a fatal blow, and continue to live tenaciously. (To be continued.) )
