In the Lushun fortress Sun Gully, Zhang Shi stood on the small building of the Kontrachenko command post, holding the binoculars of the guards and looking at the battlefield in the southwest. Since the day before yesterday, the Japanese army finally shifted the focus of its attack from Erlong Mountain in the north to Weiyi Sokaia Mountain in the southwest, which is the 203 Heights mentioned in internal intelligence. Although the distance from the command post to the battlefield was several kilometers, Zhang Shi, who was standing on the roof of the building, could still hear the violent gunfire over there, especially the sound of the 280 mm artillery mentioned in the intelligence was even more terrifying, and the shells fired by this kind of artillery would make a roar similar to a train when flying in the air, so the Russians called it a train bullet. Once the train bomb landed, the lethal power was enormous, and its explosion caused a huge amount of smoke and dust to rise together with sand and stones, splashing dozens of meters high, and only began to dissipate until it reached a high altitude -- a thick pillar of tens of meters was topped by a cloud of smoke and dust, like a big tree rising into the sky.
After looking deeply at those "big trees" for a while, Zhang Shi returned the telescope to the guards behind him, "Lieutenant Ivan, thank you for the telescope." War is truly terrifying, may God bless them. ”
The lieutenant named Ivan and Zhang Shi were already familiar with each other, and he smiled and said, "Yes, God will definitely bless us." As for the infidels, they will lose the whole war. You know, dear Zhang, at the beginning of the month, the Baltic Fleet had finished its rest and left Tangier, Morocco. As long as we can hold out until they arrive - it won't take long, it will only take months. As soon as the Baltic Fleet arrived, then hundreds of thousands of Japanese in Manchuria would be trapped here. ”
Zhang Shi didn't care about Ivan's longing, smiled and waited patiently for him to finish, and then asked, "Where did the general go?" ”。
Ivan said: "He went to the headquarters for a meeting, and he will be back in a while." What else do you have to sue us. Although Zhang Shi's origin is unknown, and he refuses to disclose the news of his Manchurian and Japanese friends. But his intelligence is indeed very accurate, especially in the last time when the Japanese army attacked for the second time, the time of the general attack and the appearance of those 280 mm artillery that matched the intelligence made Major General Kondrachenko attach great importance to him, and this third attack was also in line with the information provided by Zhang Shi, so the previous arrangement was completely effective. The corpses of the Japanese were piled up all over the battlefield.
"I've already told you what I know," Zhang Shi said, "I'm just worried about the safety of Mr. Major General, you know, Japanese spies are everywhere. ”
"Don't worry, Zhang. After what happened last time, the safety of the major general has been completely guaranteed. The yellow-skinned monkeys won't get away with it. Didn't the last attack on you fail? Lieutenant Ivan was furious at the thought of what had happened last time, and scolded the yellow-skinned monkey in front of Zhang Shi, even though this was something he had tried to avoid before.
Ivan didn't care about his words, since he was a spy, there was nothing to pay attention to, he pretended not to hear the "yellow-skinned monkey" in Lieutenant Ivan's words. I was just thinking about the life and death of Major General Kondrachenko as mentioned in the previous information. According to the intelligence, the life and death of Major General Kondrachenko is related to the survival of the Arthur fortress, and it is necessary to remind Major General Kontrachenko not to go to the front line on December 15 to prevent being shelled by the Japanese.
Zhang Shi didn't understand why there was this in the intelligence, but he knew about Lushun for more than a year and his own personal experience - after the second general attack of the Japanese army, he didn't know how to show his existence, and then one day he was ambushed by several pistols - Major General Kondrachenko was also very likely to be plotted, you must know that Kontrachenko has become the soul of the Russian army in Lushun. If he was Japanese, he would have to put him to death, and the major general's side was very well guarded, but if it was on the battlefield, give the address of the major general's front-line command post to the Japanese army, and then use that terrifying "train bullet" salvo, then ...... Thinking of this, Zhang Shi was a little anxious, he was afraid that he would go directly to the front line to inspect after the meeting, you must know that the Japanese attack has become more and more fierce day by day in the past few days, of course, no matter how anxious he is, he has to wait for Kontrachenko to come back to warn him.
At twelve o'clock in the evening. Ivan woke up Zhang Shi, who was sleeping in a suit, and when he went to the living room on the first floor, Kontrachenko was already there, and next to him was Zhang Shi's old acquaintance, Lieutenant Colonel Naumenko. They seemed to have just returned from outside, and they still had snowflakes on their heads that hadn't been cleaned up. The two were drinking coffee, and Kondrachenko laughed when he saw Zhang Shi, "What's the matter, dear Zhang, can't your friends wait?" Hehe, Your Excellency the Commander has agreed, and the money will be transferred to your designated account as last time, although the price of your food is very expensive, but the soldiers really need it, so it is worth it to be a little more expensive. ”
Kontrachenko's sturdy, bearded face has a pair of bright eyes, he is a real soldier, an innocent man, in addition to the masculinity and boldness of a soldier, there is also a kind of spring breeze kindness, which is why tens of thousands of 6th Army in Lushun revere him. Zhang Shi has to be infected by his personal temperament many times, but he still has the motherland in his heart, which is a great righteousness that cannot be avoided.
"Mr. Major General, thank you for remembering me. I think my friends will have something important to dig up from the Japanese after receiving this money. It's just that now the Japanese are very vigilant, and there will be some errors in the accuracy of a lot of information. Zhang Shi heard that the money was about to arrive, and he was overjoyed. Originally, the commander of the fortress thought that Zhang Shi's origin was unknown, and it was very likely that he would be a Japanese spy, and he was unwilling to report the intelligence transaction to the Tsar for approval, but the situation improved immediately after Zhang Shi was assassinated.
After Zhang Shi's words were finished, Lieutenant Colonel Na Wuminke said, "No, dear Zhang, your intelligence is still as accurate as before, the Japanese attacked on that day, and they finally turned the direction of the attack to the Weiisokaia Mountain today, although they are very brave, but no matter how brave they are, they can't fight with flesh and steel, their corpses have been covered all over the battlefield, and in many places they are piled higher than people, and we won easily." In fact, Kontrachenko met and went to the position after the meeting to see that in the face of the Russian army who were prepared to fight and wait for work, the Japanese army pounced like moths, and then died.
"God takes care of us, Amen." Zhang Shi prayed sincerely, and then asked, "It's just, Mr. Major General, how long can the fortress be held?" I heard that the Baltic Fleet has already come out of Morocco, but ......"
Seeing Zhang Shi ask such a big question, Kontrachenko's originally smiling face turned solemn, but after a while, his brows relaxed, and he said: "I believe that we can hold until the day when the Baltic Fleet arrives, because of your intelligence, the morale of the soldiers is very high, the fortifications are very sufficient, and there is the food, thank God very much, now the soldiers are very confident in holding the fortress." ”
In addition to selling information for money, tens of thousands of stone of grain sealed in the Lushun commercial warehouse last year were also sold to the Russian army at a high price, and these grains were pulled into Lushun last year, and then transported away the sacks filled with sand, and now they are dragged out when Lushun is short of food, which really makes the Russian army very happy, and they all agree that this is God's guidance, and they are more confident in the victorious soldiers. In addition to food, Yang Rui originally wanted to reveal the method of treating beriberi to the Russian army -- because of the appearance of the rice mill, the corn husk was completely stripped from the rice wheat, so that the rice and wheat could be snow-white and sold at a good price, but the lack of vitamins in the corn bark greatly increased the probability of beriberi. During the Russo-Japanese War, beriberi patients on both sides of the war were recorded in tens of thousands, and the reason why Lushun was captured in history was because there were tens of thousands of sick Russian troops, and a large part of them were suffering from beriberi - but thinking that Lushun finally surrendered, he still gave up.
Seeing that Kontrachenko was so sure, Zhang Shi didn't think about it, but said: "I still have information to give to His Excellency the General, I suspect that someone in Lushun wants to be unfavorable to the General, for example, send the news of the general's going to the front line to Japan, and then the Japanese army will concentrate all the artillery ......"
