Liaoping.

Yang Xiaolin didn't even return home, he plunged into his headquarters, and sat down on the wooden stool, and he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable: "Finally back!" How was the battle fought? How is the situation there at the second pole? ”

Cai Ye followed Yang Xiaolin's footsteps and came in, as if he knew that Commander Yang was going to ask this, he didn't make any superfluous movements at all, and walked straight to the large combat map hanging on the wall: "The Russians are attacking with all their strength this time, and two hundred thousand troops have been put into the battlefield, and the 11th Division has already been encircled. So far, a total of seven charges have been launched, and the 11th Division has suffered heavy casualties. However, the second pole called and said that he would be able to hold out for five days, so please rest assured. ”

Yang Xiaolin's brows furrowed, he really couldn't estimate how credible the package ticket was played by this guy on the second pole. However, it is impossible to send troops to support him now, and Commander Yang wants to use all Liliang in Liaoxi.

"What about the route of retreat?"

Cai Yi said: "There are two breakthrough plans, my suggestion to him is to break through from Tangyuan, part of the tunnels in Tangyuan are unknown to the Russians, you can get to Yilan from the tunnels, and jump out of the encirclement of the Russians, and I arranged for the militia to meet them." But the meaning of the second pole is to go west, kill directly from the Bali River, and use the minefield behind to block the pursuit of the Russian troops. This plan is also feasible, and I asked him to decide by himself when the situation comes, and no matter where he goes, we are ready to respond. ”

Yang Xiaolin was relieved a lot: "Okay! This kid is still thinking about fighting his way out of the encirclement at this time, and it seems that he has a big grasp. Let's clean up the Japanese first! ”

Cai Ye immediately put his hand on Dalian, and Yang Xiaolin could see from the look on his face that Cai Ye was very sure: "Commander, we have already figured out the arrangement of Oshima Hisashi very clearly, he put on a stubborn jiashi near Dalian, and he has no intention of fighting at all." This has made it easier for us to dispatch our troops. The main forces of our nine divisions are all in place, and the landing materials of the Japanese will arrive at the port of Dalian tomorrow morning. Only one wing of troops arrived with the supplies, and we had no problem completing the operational objectives of the first stage! Now I am thinking about how many troops to use to fight Dalian. ”

Yang Xiaolin thought about it for a while, this really has to be seriously thought about.

The Japanese dared to escort supplies over first, first of all, because they believed that there was no longer the main force of the Volunteers in Liaoxi. Secondly, Oshima Hisunao's defense line made them feel that even if the volunteers were ambushed, they would be able to hold out until the arrival of the large army behind.

Hisunao Oshima is also a Japanese player, and Yang Xiaolin and Cai will definitely not take their opponents lightly. If there are fewer troops, it is really impossible to say whether they can be defeated.

Little Japan, like the Russians, is very generous this time. The destruction of these supplies only gave the Japanese a disadvantage and a little initiative in the early stage, and did not play much role in the entire war. If the second army behind is frightened because of this, it will be a problem to land here again. Their second stage jihua will be affected.

Commander Yang's fingers tapped on the table a few times, and then said to Cai Yi: "Songpo, I have an opinion, put the strength of two divisions into battle to attract the enemy's attention on the frontal battlefield, and at the same time, the special operations brigade will attack Dalian and target the supplies of the Japanese army. ”

The special operations brigade of the Volunteers has not shown up a few times until now, and this unit is becoming more and more mysterious. It is even said that many people in the Volunteer Army are not familiar with them. Of course, Cai Ye knows how effective this army is, and it is indeed a good way to use this batch of liliang when the strength cannot be leaked.

And because the Volunteers' intelligence on Dalian was very detailed, and Oshima Hisunao adopted a strategy of shrinking. The strategic depth of the Japanese army in Dalian was not large, and the special operations brigade was fully equipped with the conditions for a surprise attack.

"I agree. It's just that the commander, the Japanese have a lot of supplies this time, and it's a pity that it burns it. ”

Commander Yang also knew that it was a pity. The life of the volunteers is now tight, and they will definitely be able to have more room if they snatch the supplies that the Japanese gave to the Second Army.

"In the future, as long as the battle is good, there should be a chance. This time there are British people who pay for it. The Japanese have a bulging pocket! Order, 1st Division, 6th Division ready for battle! The rest of the forces continued to be hidden. Hide it all for me! If anyone shows his head and scares the second army away, Lao Tzu will kill him. ”

Cai Yi stood upright: "Yes!" ”

Yang Du came in from outside: "Commander, the latest news from the Mongolian side is that the Russians' 20,000 soldiers have quietly entered the territory of Mongolia and set up a defensive line in Kulen. ”

Commander Yang smiled on his face: "It seems that Zhang Lao Wu really scared Guangxu!" ”

Cai Ye took over and said: "Lao Maozi has also invested in order to allow Guangxu to ascend the throne. They didn't know that Deputy Commander Zhang only had 10,000 men, otherwise they would definitely go over and kill him. Commander, I advise to keep your distance and not to go near Cullen. ”

Yang Du said: "Zhang Zuolin's telegram has been sent, and he is ready to come back, but he thinks that he should make some noise in Kulun." After all, you let out the words in Beijing, and it is a little unreasonable to leave without firing a shot. ”

Yang Xiaolin's hand slammed on the table: "Don't worry about this!" Send a telegram asking him to be careful, I have already asked Wang Yaqiao to follow him. ”

Yang Du nodded: "You just have an arrangement." There is also news from Zuihou that Chen Qimei and Wu Zhaolin have fought in Shanghai. ”

Yang Xiaolin sneered: "Lao Tzu can't control them now!" Songpo, get ready immediately, let's go to Liaoxi. ”

With the sound of gunfire in Heilongjiang, the fighting of the coalition forces in the northeast immediately escalated. The Russians were obviously unwilling to bear huge losses on their own, and they demanded that the Japanese intervene in the battlefield as quickly as possible, quickly landing from Liaoxi, and attacking the weak belly of the volunteers.

Sa Daoyi also put forward a request for the Japanese army to enter the battlefield as soon as possible, and now that the fleet of the coalition forces has set off from Annam, it cannot be said that the Japanese army has not completed the landing in Dalian after they arrived, and let the gentlemen fight a landing battle by themselves?

On January 21, the first batch of Japanese combat supplies arrived at the port of Dalian, and Hisunao Oshima had already built a warehouse for stockpiling supplies. The Japanese were apparently well prepared, and in order to prevent the Volunteers from carrying out a surprise attack when they landed, Oshima Hisanoo built fortifications around Dalian and deployed defensive forces.

He didn't take the initiative as Naogami Matsubara said, because Hisunao Oshima thought it was stupid.

As soon as the Japanese cargo ship docked, the cargo on board was transported into the warehouse. What warehouses put what goods. It was carried out in an orderly manner, and there were no mistakes at all, and even Hisashi Oshima had ready the firefighting team that might be needed after an accident.

Qiao Mu, the commander of the Japanese army who accompanied the supplies, thought that he would be very busy after getting off the ship, but now he found that he actually had a rare little free.

"Your Excellency Oshima, this is a handwritten letter from Commander Matsumura to you, please take a look."

When standing in front of Hisashi Oshima, Qiao Mu looked very respectful. In the Japanese military, the concept of superiority and superiority is very strong, and there is no disrespect for superiors just because two people have a good relationship or because they are not subordinate to each other.

Oshima took the letter and read it for a while, and after reading it for a while, a smile appeared on his face, and the army would be able to land in Dalian tomorrow. Matsumura made it very clear in the letter that the Japanese believed that the strength of the Volunteers in western Liaoning was empty, and that the Japanese army would approach as quickly as possible after the landing, and in order to ensure the smooth march of the army, Matsumura asked Oshima Hisunao to find enough reliable guides.

Oshima Hisunao had also been prepared for this for a long time, and Xiao Yue's so-called security forces had been armed, and they would be responsible for leading the way for the Japanese army after the Japanese army landed. Although these people are not good at fighting, it is not a problem to lead the way.

And those guys have gone through the impact of Yang beating ghosts, and after this period of time the changes in Liaoxi. Those who have a little patriotic sentiment have basically run away, and most of the people who haven't left until now are hardcore traitors like Xiao Yue, and reliability can be guaranteed.

Qiao Mu obviously knew what was written on the letter, and he didn't raise his head until Oshima finished reading it: "Your Excellency Oshima." The commander ordered me to listen to your command when I arrived in Dalian, and if there was anything I could do, I would like to give orders. ”

Oshima Hisachi smiled and put the letter away: "Qiao Mu-kun, what you have to do now is to have a good rest, I have prepared a rest camp for you in the west of the city." ”

Qiao Mu's face suddenly had some surprise. To be honest, I crossed the ocean and made a boat for three days, and it was really a little dizzy. But how can the Great Japanese Samurai rest at this time?

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness. But my men and I want to be in the middle of the battle right away! ”

Oshima Hisunao glanced at him very appreciatively: "I understand Qiao Mujun's mood now. For our great Japanese Empire, this battle is related to the future development. That's why I need you to be able to restore your combat power to its fullest state. Qiao Mujun, after the army lands tomorrow, we will immediately start to approach Jihua, and at that time I hope you are the fastest one. So now you have to go and rest, it's the order. ”

Qiao Mu no longer shirked: "Hayi! Thank you, Commander, for your kindness! ”

Just as he was about to leave, a Japanese signal soldier ran over: "Report to the commander, signs of an armed Liliang movement have been found outside the city!" The specific enemy situation is being investigated. ”

Qiao Mu immediately became excited: "Your Excellency Oshima, is there a battle going on?" ”

Hisunao Oshima didn't react in surprise, it was normal for the Volunteers to come and make trouble, but if no one really came, he would feel that something was wrong. In this regard, Oshima has also been prepared: "Qiao Mu-kun, please rest assured, everything is as we expected. ”

After the news of the soldiers' return came, gunfire rang out outside the city of Dalian, and the volunteers began to attack the Japanese positions again and again. The first line of defense set up by Hisunao Oshima was all captured within an hour.

The so-called security forces deployed on the front line fled quickly, and they simply did not have the courage to fight the volunteers. But when Hisunao Oshima reacted, the Japanese army reached the front line, and the momentum of the Volunteer attack was halted in the second line of defense.

Although the Japanese were at a disadvantage in the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides, their positions were finally stabilized. The Volunteers were clearly not content to fight like this, and as night wore on, instead of withdrawing from their positions, they attacked more fiercely.

The casualties of the Japanese were very large, and it could be judged from the firepower of Hisunao Oshima on the opposite side that he might not be facing a single division of the enemy, at least two divisions.

However, Oshima's confidence is still very sufficient, because not only has the wing that he just landed not yet engaged in battle, and even he has enough reserves to defend the warehouse! If there was nothing else that the Volunteers could do to change the tide of battle, Hisunao Oshima believed that he would be able to hold out until the moment the large army landed!

"Send a telegram to the military headquarters and say that we have been attacked by the Shina army. But everything is as we expected, as long as the Second Army arrives tomorrow as originally planned, we will complete the landing without a hitch. (To be continued......)
