On August 1o, 19o4, the abbreviated battle plan codenamed "Trojan Horse" arrived at the Tonghua headquarters of the Fuxing Society from the mountains of the Liaodong Peninsula. "If the Battle of Liaoyang is fought by Japan, and the Russians retreat to Mukden, but the Japanese Third Army does not capture the Port of Arthur before February next year, what will happen to the shape of the entire battle situation?" Yang Rui opened the large map on the wall and asked Leo.
Leo was very surprised that Yang Rui suddenly pulled him to the war room, but when asked about the war, his attention immediately shifted to the question. "Yang, as long as the Japanese do not occupy Lushun, no matter where they attack, Japan is likely to collapse in an instant and completely lose this war." During this time, the main task of the troops was to train new recruits, and in their spare time, the Leo Tong Guò Fuxing Association had a very detailed understanding of the entire process of the war in the entire Liaodong intelligence network. He pointed to Lushun and continued: "If Liaoyang is the battlefield of Japan and Russia, then Lushun is the battlefield of the battlefield of Japan and Russia. As long as the Japanese army does not occupy Arthur for a day, then the logistics of the Japanese army will always be under the threat of the Russian Navy, and the Baltic Fleet will soon be out, and they will reach the Far East in half a year. If Arthur had not fallen within two months, then before the arrival of the Baltic Fleet, the Japanese fleet would have to return to port for overhaul in order to meet the Russian fleet, which would inevitably loosen the blockade of the Russian Navy in Port Arthur, and the Russian Far East Fleet would most likely leave the port to attack the Japanese sea supply lines. This was still before the arrival of the Baltic Fleet, and if the Russian Far East Fleet and the Baltic Fleet once they joined up, then the strength of the Russian Fleet would be far greater than that of the Japanese Navy, and there would be no suspense in the war, and the Japanese Navy would lose the war. Then the entire Japanese 6th Army in Liaodong will be cut off from the back road,......" Leo smiled slightly when he said this, he still thought that Yang Rui's idea that Japan would win was just a delusion.
Yang Rui saw Leo's smile, and he only listened to his explanation. But his mind drifted to Lushun. Thanks to a certain author of the time-traveling novel, he recorded in detail the process of the key battle for Arthur in the Russo-Japanese War, Yang Rui wanted to pass on the information of how the Japanese army attacked Arthur to the commander of the Seventh Division of the Russian Army - Major General Kondrachenko, known as the soul of Arthur's defense, before the Russo-Japanese war began. Of course, he is not afraid that the Russians will not believe in him, Qi Qingyuan's raid on the general station of the Japanese Second Army is a proper letter of surrender, and he is not afraid that people will not believe in him with this thing. Just to give or not to give, what a question. Will Japan fail if it is given? Yang Rui kept recalling the details of the battle for Lushun, and when he thought that in January 19o5, the food of the Russian army in Lushun was about to run out, he made up his mind.
He immediately dragged Leo to the sand table - this is a defense map of the Lushun fortress, although the Lushun information does not penetrate into the interior of the fortress, but combined with the electronic topographic map and the description in the novel. He still reproduced the defense map of the Russian army on the sand table, "Leo, according to your estimate, how do you need to deal with such a fortress?" ”
"Cannons are needed, dozens of large-caliber cannons are needed, and according to intelligence, the Russians used 200,000 barrels of cement in Arthur to build a strong fortress. Moreover, the defenders of Lushun had more than 40,000 men and plenty of ammunition, and it was impossible to win a victory against a strong fortress guarded by 40,000 men with 50,000 men. Although the Japanese army was about to occupy Jinzhou, Leo still believed that it was impossible to occupy the fortress of Arthur, especially in the absence of large-caliber heavy artillery.
Yang Rui waited for him to finish speaking and didn't refute, because he couldn't sue him that this was history, just Dao. "If the Japanese army mobilizes a large number of 28o caliber fortress guns, and then ...... here," Yang Rui pointed to the southwest of Lushun, which was later called the 203 Heights, and then said, "Concentrate artillery and forces to attack here, then they can quickly destroy the Russian Far East Fleet." Moreover, through the long-term siege of the fortress, you must know that the supplies, especially food, in the fortress are limited, as long as there is enough time, they will naturally surrender. As for the Baltic Fleet, do you think the British will let them get to the Far East as quickly as possible? ”
Leo looked suspiciously at the place Yang Rui pointed to and asked, "Where is this?" What is the purpose of capturing here? ”
"The current artillery tactics are all direct aiming, but the use of artillery can be aimed indirectly, isn't it, we talked about this topic when we were in South Africa. As long as they occupy this place, because the Arthur Fortress is still completely completed, and a strong fortress has not yet been established in this key place, the Japanese will seize it and immediately set up an artillery observation post to direct artillery bombardment of the Russian ** ships in the port, as long as these warships are destroyed, then for the Japanese fleet, it will only be the tired Baltic Fleet that has come from afar. Seeing that Leo was pondering his words, Yang Rui said again, "My question now is, in the absence of a strong fortress, in the face of the frantic attack of the Japanese, how can this high ground be held for a long time?" ”
After an in-depth discussion with Leo on how to defend the 203 high, two telegrams were sent out of Tonghua, one was to Qi Qingyuan of Xiong Yue City, and there were no changes to the plan he reported, and the entire telegram was only eight words: "Agree to the plan." Long live the Motherland! The other was to a house in the old city street in Port Arthur, and the telegram was longer, with an order on it in addition to a bunch of gibberish: "Carry out Plan A." ”
*
Zhang Shi has been in Arthur for nine months, and has nothing to do except learn Russian and pray in church every day. Since he came to Anton with Yu Zixun in September last year, he has never returned to Japan, he has been entrusted with an important mission, and he has been lurking in Lushun. Except in January, when someone sent a wireless receiver and codebook, there was no movement, until today, when the long-awaited order finally arrived.
In the claustrophobic room, under the dim light of the candle, Zhang Shi carefully translated the message, and then carefully took out the envelope with Plan A written on it from the cabinet, removed the fire paint on it, and carefully turned out the contents of it against the garbled characters. After two hours, Zhang Shi finally finished memorizing the above content and began to destroy the other texts. At the same time, the radio receiver, which had only been used once, was also taken away.
Sleepless nights. Early the next morning, Zhang Shi left the Orthodox Church at the entrance of the old market where he lived. In the monk's sleepy eyes, he knelt in front of him: "Monk, I want to confess." ”
Brother Lebiev to Nikolai who was kneeling in front of him. Ivanovich. Zhang Chinese have a good feeling. This was the fifth Chinese he baptized, and although it was the fifth, it was the first after the Gengzi incident, and he was deeply glad that he had begun to contain the yellow lamb for the Lord again. He looked kindly at Zhang Shi, who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "Child, may the Lord Almighty bless you." that you may be sincere in your heart, and in your heart, and in the knowledge of the mercy of the Lord. ”
"Please hear my confession and forgive my sins according to God's will. I am a sinful man, confessing all my sins before God, and I think of myself as more important than God. I didn't glorify God's name, I didn't worship and pray for God. I lost God's love. I have also lost my love for the world. I have no helper, my heart is troubled by sins, the most troublesome of them are: a friend of mine is in the headquarters of the Manchurian Army in Japan, but I do not know him to help the army blessed by the Lord, this is my sin......" Zhang Shi recited this intricate admonition, "I repented of all my sins and prayed to God for my grace. I'm willing to do better. ”
Brother Lebeev's whole body trembled when Zhang Shi confessed his sin, although Zhang Shi was not fluent in Russian, but he had recited this passage I don't know how many times, and he was sure that Lebeev could understand it. Lebiev said, "May the Lord have mercy on you and give you a strong heart." Do you believe that my forgiveness is forgiveness from God? ”
Zhang Shi said: "Yes." ”
Brother Lebeev put his hand on Changshi's head and said: "I forgive your sins, Amen, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, according to the command of the Lord and on His behalf. After the ceremony, Lebiev said again. Kid, is what you just said true? ”
Zhang Shi nodded affirmatively and said, "Monk, what should I do?" I could receive a lot of information from him at the General Headquarters of the Manchurian Army, but I don't know who to give this information to. There are too many Japanese spies in the city. Monk, can you help me find General Kontrachenko, only he can trust in the whole of Lushun. ”
Brother Lebeev looked into Zhang Shi's eyes again, and saw that he did not seem to be lying, let alone madness, so he said: "Son, if you really want to forgive your sins, then please wait here for a while, and I will find those who can receive the message." ”
Zhang Shi nodded and said, "Okay." Thank you, monk. I will wait for them here. After that, he sat down on a chair next to the church and prayed sincerely.
More than two hours later, Brother Lebiev brought a lieutenant colonel officer and several soldiers of the Russian army, who were to take him away. Zhang Shi calmly said goodbye to the monk and kissed his cross before leaving. After that, he was taken by the lieutenant colonel to a secluded place, and after the door "banged" shut, the lieutenant colonel began his interrogation: "Dear Nikolai. Ivanovich. Brother Zhang, Brother Lebeev told me that you are a devout believer who prayed and studied Russian in the church almost every day after your baptism. Can you sue me for this? Oh, I forgot to introduce, I'm Lieutenant Colonel Nauminko. ”
Lieutenant Colonel Naumenko was the chief of staff of General Kondrachenko, and according to normal procedure, such matters did not need to be dealt with by him, but Brother Lebeev came directly to the door, declaring that it was God's will, and repeatedly assured that this baptized Chinese was an extremely devout believer, so for God's sake, and attracted by the name of the Japanese Manchuria General Headquarters, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel put down his matter and came to meet this devout believer whom Brother Lebeev called God's will. He was a very methodical person, and did not directly ask about the Manchurian General Headquarters, but interrogated Zhang Shi's origins, intending to constantly test his reaction. Zhang Shi smiled and said in half-baked Russian: "Mr. Nauminko, I need to see General Kontrachenko, only he can wield this information." Seeing the hint of surprise and disdain in Lieutenant Colonel Nawuminke's eyes, Zhang Shi stopped and asked, "Sir, if we remember correctly, today should be August 11 in the Gregorian calendar, right, what time is it?" ”
Lieutenant Colonel Na Uminko didn't know why, so he took out his pocket watch a little impatiently and said, "It's 10:35 in the morning." ”
Zhang Shi smiled and said: "In another twelve hours, Lieutenant Colonel Na Wuminke, the general station of the Japanese Second Army will be attacked." The Battle of Liaoyang, which they had planned, would definitely be forced to be postponed to next month. ”
The lieutenant colonel looked at the smiling Chinese in front of him suspiciously, with a look of disbelief, according to what he knew, the Japanese Second Army was distributed in the area of Gaiping Haicheng, and the military station was in Kumagaku City below Gaiping, and there was no Russian army now. Where the army can travel to that; As for the Chinese bandits who were recruited by Lieutenant Colonel Madriddorf, they did not have the slightest combat effectiveness, and as long as they heard the sound of artillery, they would desperately flee. Did he think he really represented God's will? Lieutenant Colonel Naumenko thought to himself, but he still asked, "Is this what your friend at the headquarters of Manchuria in Japan told you?" ”
Zhang Shi didn't pay attention to his suspicions, and said: "No, no, this is what my friend in Manchuria told me that their guerrillas will raid the Xiongyue City military station tonight, and if the communication between the Russian embassies in Lushun and Zhifu is not interrupted, then Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, you can hear the news soon." Seeing that his remarks about Xiong Yuecheng made the lieutenant colonel a little puzzled, Zhang Shi continued: "As for my friend at the Japanese Manchuria General Headquarters, he told me that the Japanese Third Army will attack Lushun on August 19. ”
Looking at the slight smile on Zhang Shi's face, Lieutenant Colonel Na Wuminke suddenly felt a little annoyed, because this smile was very confident, and the Chinese in front of him was not afraid of himself at all, which was not the usual expression of these yellow-skinned monkeys. Is what he said true? The lieutenant colonel had no way to be sure, but the other party knew that Xiong Yuecheng was the general station of the Japanese Second Army, so he at least knew something about the situation of the Japanese army, and after a few turns of thought, he looked at Zhang Shi and said: "Before verifying whether what you said is correct, I doubt your identity." Zhang Shi was not afraid, he was not afraid of death and was afraid of the threat of foreigners, the lieutenant colonel continued: "So, I have to leave you here for a while, don't worry, you will be well taken care of, but if the truth is not as you say, then I will start praying now." ”
After Lieutenant Colonel Nauminko finished speaking, he seemed to be very satisfied with his words, patted his shirt very confidently, and when he went out, he said to the soldiers: "Take him to the prison, let the warden watch him well, but don't treat him badly." Then he left. Zhang Shi seemed to know that this was the result, he silently recited a Bible in his heart, and was obediently taken out of the room by the soldiers and thrown into prison. He believed that it would not be long before Lieutenant Colonel Nauminko remembered himself again.
