Chapter Ninety-Eight: Transfer

When Tao Dayong entered the village, the inside was almost cleaned up, the corpses on the snow were all thrown on the side of the road, and the supplies were being cleared, and the Russian prisoners were pulled to the village by Kaczynski and withdrawn, and then he shouted in Polish, "Poles come out, Poles come out." If you don't come out, shoot ......" Soon a dozen cowering people came out, and just when these people were worried about whether they would be mistreated, a gun was stuffed over, "The Poles shoot the Slavic mongrel, shoot them!" Quick, shoot them! Otherwise, I'll shoot you!" Then in the trembling, one by one the Russian Maozi were beaten to death by these people who came out.

Although Tao Dayong couldn't understand Polish, he understood the situation very clearly, and he asked Zhang Huanrong, "Damn, who taught this?" Can we use it? ”

Zhang Huanrong looked at the dead Russian Maozi over there, and said: "If we can use it for the Japanese, we can forget about it." What are you doing here, regiment commander, you still have to see what treasures are in the station. ”

"Baby fart," Tao Dayong said, "There is not a single machine gun hair, and there is no cannon, even if there is no cannon, it is not easy to use, at most it is some bullets, this is not universal, and it is also for the bastard of the second brigade to snatch it, I can only fish for some military uniforms and cotton clothes to go back, this battle is boring." ”

Zhang Huanrong knew that the military station was full of ammunition and grain and grass, and the second and third regiments were all 7mm Mauser, and that kind of 7.9mm bullets were naturally not needed, so he didn't know how to persuade him, but fortunately, when he arrived at the warehouse in the military station, he didn't speak.

The Russian army is still relatively strict in the management of materials, there are rows of neat white tents inside, and there are sacks of grain stacked outside, there are no tents, only some linoleum is covered on them, and now at this time. Zhang Huanrong's transport team had already started moving, looking at those people who were dressed in colorful calls, Zhang Huanrong couldn't help laughing, after this battle, then the foundation of the revival will be more and more solid in the east of Liaodong.

"Young Master. We saw a lot of cannon barrels, "A soldier from a militia ran over and grabbed Zhang Huanrong and shouted.

"Shout, how many times have you said it? Really. "Yang Rui and Zhang Huanrong can't reach it, but Qi Qingyuan has been following it for a long time, so Zhang Huanrong is imitating Qi Qingyuan for many things. Even the thick-framed glasses he was wearing were deliberately changed to be as thin as Qi Qingyuan's, and then from time to time he made a movement to push his glasses. "Where's the cannon?"

It was Zhang Huanrong's domestic servant who called the young master, and he brought Zhang Huanrong here because he was strong, he looked at Zhang Huanrong unhappy, and immediately changed his words: "Sir." It's in the courtyard to the west of the village. ”

Next to him, Tao Dayong wanted to see it when he heard that there was a cannon, but Zhang Huanrong stopped him. "Even if there is a cannon, it seems to be broken, and it can't be used. Otherwise, the big war is imminent, how can the artillery be placed in the rear. ”

What Zhang Huanrong said makes sense, Tao Dayong is just concerned about it, and this is the reason for thinking about it, "Then let people take a look, it can be repaired." If you can't fix it, don't do it. ”

On a snowy night, the hot transportation scene was very huge, and thousands of people rushed up, and the piles of materials quickly bottomed out. Then they all went to the large and small climbing plows, the army side was fine, very well loaded, and the people on the side of the climbing plows, some of the piles were extremely high, and there was a stall on the ground, and some were very few. When those who didn't grab it went to pick up the sacks on the ground, a dispute arose.

"It's mine, don't rob ......"

"You can't pull it away if you take it all too far. You're in the car, there's no one on the ground......"

"I also brought the ground here...... I still have people, aquatic, aquatic, and there are people who rob us of food......"

Seeing these guys was really a headache, Tao Dayong called out to the orderly, "Pass the order, the car that can't be loaded is not your own, if anyone wants to fight, I will let him go back empty." Then he said to Zhang Huanrong, "As soon as the gun goes off here, it is estimated that the Russian Maozi on the side of the First Army will know it, although you can't say it at night, you still ask your team to get these people back quickly, don't have one more bag or one less pack, pull back one pack and count one pack." ”

The Russian troops on the side of Qinghe City will not come, and they are worried about the side of the First Army, they are too close. Fushun City to the south across the Hunhe River and then through Qianjinzhai south there are two roads, one is a little west to Benxi, the other is a little east to the east through Qinghe City to reach the alkali factory, the two roads are parallel and do not intersect, in the position of Majun Village, the two roads are thirty miles apart, although this is a straight line distance and this side of the ravine is vertical and horizontal, but if the Russian Maozi has a leader, he can still come around the ditch. Zhang Huanrong knew that the time was pressing, and he understood that he didn't go far this night, and the next day, the plough of these people would not go far, so he immediately took people with him.

A few hours later, as soon as the military station was cleared and emptied, the people began to retreat, and the retreat route on their side was from Majun Village to the north and then to the east, as long as they crossed the mountain road more than ten miles to the east, they arrived at the waist fort, and then walked fifty miles south along the road from the waist fort, which was the horse circle, which was already more than thirty miles east of Qinghe City, as long as they arrived here, then everyone would be safe.

The people can withdraw immediately, but the troops still have to stop for a while, at least spend the night at the rescue station, and when the Russian army attacks the next day, it is better to retreat eastward, especially now that they have taken the Japanese salary, some things are really interesting. On the side of the rescue platform, the third regiment was already digging fortifications, Li Shutong looked at Tao Dayong's unhappy face, and knew that there was nothing to fish in the station, he smiled and said to Tao Dayong: "How is it, old Tao, have you touched the baby?" ”

Looking at Li Shutong's smiling face, Tao Dayong wanted to fight over, reading a few books is amazing, bullying an honest person is, hum, I want to be angry with him, "Haha, there are many good things, there is no machine gun this time, but there are seven or eight mountain artillery, this, this is still a return to the basics." ”

Is there a cannon, or is it a mountain cannon? Uncle Li was skeptical, "Really, where is it, I'll take a look." ”

Seeing that Uncle Li had an appetite hanging up, Tao Dayong said: "What do you see, I was cheated by you once last time, and I want to be in the pit for the second time, I will sue you if there is no way." ”

Li Shutong looked carefully at the team of the second regiment under the torch, and said absent-mindedly, "You are embarrassed to say, last time you said that you wanted to change, and I didn't agree, so you asked someone to throw Makqin over." Then I grabbed two light machine guns and left, and the wheels of Makqin were still broken......"

"It's not that the wheels are broken, but they can't be hit...... That's what you blew back with a grenade,"

"How can you collect me from the explosion, the machine gun I captured when I hit Kuandian is now in the Second Brigade, and the wheel is repaired......"

"But everyone is talking ......"

The two of them don't want to meet, as soon as they meet, they quarrel about the last time, but the staff officers next to them have seen too much, and they will retreat as soon as they quarrel, and the salary arrangements will go their own way, only Zhang Huanrong, a newcomer, is very inexplicable about this. I don't know how to persuade to stand aside. But after a while, he was also pulled away by the staff officer, "Why don't you persuade them, they ......"

"What persuasion, old case. It's good to let the head grind his teeth, so that he can grind on us later. ”

It's different from the two regiment commanders who quarrel as soon as they meet. The staff officers below are still very harmonious. After all, they are all military cadets, and the difference is also the number of periods, so as soon as everyone meets, they will discuss the future of the resistance war.

It would be better if the terrain of the rescue station was compared to a river, because this place is an isthmus running north-south, about 800 meters wide, and the "river" that winds from the north suddenly turns 100 degrees to the left. Then turn 180 degrees to form a "5", of course, this "5" is not this horizontal. The bend of the "river" forms several highlands, which hold the north and south, and is indeed an important and dangerous place. According to the plan, unlike the small road that the people took to the north and then to the east, the retreat of the troops was to go directly to the east from the rescue platform, and it was a waist fort to walk a few miles over the mountain ridge more than 400 meters high.

Because it was not necessary to fight with Omaozi here, it was very important to retreat, and Wang Zundao, the staff officer of the Second Regiment, asked: "How is it going on the mountain?" Is it better to withdraw when the time comes? The person who talked to him was also a second-stage student, named Zhu Zigui. Wang Zundao has just arrived, and he is still unclear about what is going on here.

"It's been busy for most of the night, and it is estimated that it will not be good until tomorrow morning, the ice and snow on the mountain are too thick, and you can't open the road overnight without burning. What's going on in Majun Village, the fortifications have been dug up? Zhu Zigui asked.

"Well, it's good morning, the place itself has fortifications, strengthen it, and dig some more to the north. It's just that the anti-artillery is a bit troublesome, and the fortifications of Omaozi are still straight, and there is no turning at all, and the people who come down a trench with one cannon will be eliminated. Thinking of the trenches of Omaozi, King Zundao shook his head.

"Hehe, if they want to be like us, how can they fight? We are a little inferior to manpower and firepower. If there's no problem on your side, then it's all right. I'll send a report to the brigade headquarters right away. ”

Qi Qingyuan was called up in the middle of the night when he fell asleep, and after reading the telegram, he knew that he was normal and fell asleep, but after a while, another telegram came, which was sent by him to Majiagou to keep an eye on the Japanese reconnaissance team. Like Qi Qingyuan's early attack, the little devil also attacked in advance, and as soon as twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the devil began to attack at night, but this night attack was very unsuccessful, and he retreated back in less than a few hours - very few people retreated. Qi Qingyuan knew that he was in trouble after reading the telegram, this little devil must have attacked according to the sand table he gave, the sand table was originally a huge pit, and it was used during the day because it could be seen, it would only damage the fur, at most it would not be able to attack, but if it was a night attack at night, it would be sad, not a problem of not being able to attack, but a problem of annihilation. The news over there will arrive at the flower field tomorrow, I guess that guy is going crazy, or should he prepare early?

In the headquarters of the Yalu River Army of the Japanese Army in Majiagou, "bang, bang", two staggered gunshots rang out, and two corpses were carried out in the headquarters, both of which were staff officers who planned the night attack, and the chief of staff of the 11th Division, Ishida Zhengzhen, said to Kawamura Jingming with tears: "Your Excellency, they ...... This is completely a map mistake of the Qing horse thieves, they ...... They ......"

How could Kawamura Keiaki not know that it was a problem with the map, but if the staff officer is not dead, how can the soldiers below be served, so this is the only solution. He said slowly, "They are all warriors of the Empire! ”

"The Qing horse thieves can't believe it, Your Excellency, their leader should be captured and buried for the more than 1,000 warriors of the empire." Although the general set the tone, Ishida Zhengzhen Dazuo was very unrelieved, and he wanted to get Qi Qingyuan over to pay for his people's lives.

"Yaga. The empire is now going to seize the power that can be grasped, these horse thieves are not good, but they can at least help us fight, and that map is not drawn by professionals at all. You must be careful when using it, the staff is too light on the enemy. Keiaki Kawamura said. Don't send the news to Hanada this time, just ask him to urge the horse thieves to attack the rescue station. He said to the staff officers around him, fearing that they would accidentally miss something and cause the horse thieves to escape.

"Hay!" A room full of staff officers can only say yes, albeit reluctantly.

During the day the next day, Qi Qingyuan, who had been marching for several days, arrived at Maquanzi Township, east of Qinghe City, which would serve as the location of his headquarters. After reading it, he pretended to be happy, and the horse newspaper said to Hua Tian Shaozuo, "Lord Hua, we have knocked down the rescue platform here and grabbed more than 2,000 big noses." Hehe. Look. Look. ”

Actually...... Hanada took the horse newspaper and read it carefully, "I occupied these two places last night. Stuff paid a lot. But there were no cannons or guns, only some of the medicine was burned by me...... Caught hundreds of hundreds of big noses, these have been staked over to listen to the fate of the big boss......"

The battle report written by the beard was full of rambling, but Hanada still looked at it with a smile, and his old bow came again, "Thank you so much, Your Excellency." ”

"Haha. Ha ha. Qi Qingyuan laughed, "Lord Hua, we are all brothers, don't be so polite all the time." How bad it is for outsiders to see. I said, this rescue station may not be able to hold for long, you know that the big-nosed cannon is powerful, and those brothers under me are still very taboo about that thing. ”

"So where can you keep it for how long?" Although there was already a plan to occupy Beidaling, Hanada still hoped that the rescue station could hold for more time, so that the attention of the Russian troops on the front line could be distracted and create an opportunity for the Yalu River Army and the First Army to launch an attack.

Touching his head, Qi Qingyuan said: "This, spicy handle, anyway, try to guard it over there, and then retreat." Don't we still have the Great Northern Ridge? The procession went up last night, and now everyone else is already there. As long as there is a letter, the big nose of Qinghe City will be surrounded. ”

"Did you meet Lu Jun last night, and did you exchange fire?" Hanada asked eagerly.

Seeing Hua Tian ask if there was a firefight on Beidaling, Qi Qingyuan's pupils shrank, but he immediately returned to normal, and said, "There was no firefight, but I couldn't see clearly at night, they just went up the mountain, and I don't know if they occupied the road." "Whether there is an exchange of fire or not is actually to ask if there is a Russian army retreating, if there is a Russian army retreating, it means that last night's night attack was successful, and the Russian army that was expelled from Qinghe City can only retreat.

Hearing Qi Qingyuan's statement, Hua Tian's mood was a little low, if there was no firefight, it meant that the night attack failed, but he didn't expect for a while that the reason for the failure was because the person on the other side provided a fake map, and he thought it was something else.

Seeing that Hua Tian was in a solemn mood, Qi Qingyuan kindly persuaded: "Lord Hua, don't worry, my old demon in Montenegro is what he says, and those big noses will be escorted after noon." Let's drink first, drink first. ”

Thinking of the victory of the rescue platform, Hua Tian's mood improved a lot, and under the persuasion of Qi Qingyuan, he took a big gulp of wine.

*

The Japanese army's frantic attack on the 25th and night made the Russian army very passive, and in less than one night's effort, the Japanese occupied the Majun Village military station, since they had arrived at Majun Village, what happened to the Qinghecheng detachment south of Majun Village, is it all...... Everyone did not dare to speculate, maybe besieged, maybe annihilated......

In the secret speculation of the staff officers, General Kuropatkin was down-to-earth, he thought that this was the Third Army from Lushun, this 100,000-strong army finally appeared, you must know that at the beginning, there was news from the Beijing consulate that this 100,000-strong army would be transferred to Vladivostok by ship, and from there along the railway to the west to Harbin, thus cutting off the entire Far Eastern Army's rear route. Kuropatkin was very frightened of this plan of the Japanese army, and before the arrival of the Baltic Fleet, the Japanese controlled the entire ocean, and it was perfectly possible for them to attack from Vladivostok as long as they wanted. As soon as the news of the Japanese attack on Harbin spread, the morale of the troops was immediately unstable, and there were many conscripted peasants in the new Russian army, all of whom had families, and there were many chaotic elements, and these two kinds of people, especially the latter, brought great difficulties to the management of the army, and they distributed leaflets everywhere, and even encouraged the conscripted non-Slavic fighters to shoot at the commanders. They're going to hell! Kuropatkin said in his heart.

"General, the Independence Army on the side of the Second Army is now engaged with the Japanese troops on the front line, and they say that they cannot retreat." Major General Aiu Elliud of the War Department reported to him.

"Can't retreat?"

"Yes, according to the attack plan formulated before, they still attacked the three-pointed bubble like last time, so they left the Sifang Terrace early yesterday morning, and reported last night that they had encountered the Japanese vanguard, and now they have received fire."

"Oh......" Hearing that the Independence Army could not be mobilized, Kuropatkin thought for a moment and said, "Then the First Army can only be transferred." ”

The First Siberian Army was originally replenished to the Second Army after the transfer of the Independent Army to the Second Line, but now the Second Army is still based on the Eighth and Tenth Armies after the replenishment, and Missichko's cavalry corps was sent to the rear to defend the railway, and it was replaced by the Kamfu Cavalry Army for several years.
