Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Such a vicious plan was beyond the comprehension of everyone, including the chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Nauminko, who was surprised by it. Of course, their surprise was not that they did not believe Zhang Shi's statement, but that they were surprised by the viciousness of the enemy. The real situation is that the command within the Russian army is extremely chaotic, there are three commanders alone, Kontrachenko is only the commander of the 7th Infantry Division in East Siberia, in addition to the commander of the fortress, there are also two commanders of the Kwantung fortified area, and the commander of the 4th Infantry Division in East Siberia is Major General Fock, who is not completely obedient to him, although the other team, Colonel Delekakov of the 5th Infantry Regiment of East Siberia, still obeys his command, but he cannot get the command of all 6 armies and the support of the commanders, There were even people who had other thoughts when the Japanese sent the letter of surrender on August 16, such as the commander of the fortress, Mrs. Stexel, who was very interested in the check that the Japanese had enclosed the letter.
After a little steady, Kondrachenko and Na Uminko glanced at each other, and Na Uminko asked, "Dear Zhang, do you still have any information that you haven't fully stated?" You know, we're friends, aren't we? Your friends also hope that the information from Guò will give the Japanese heavy casualties, and we are doing this, and we are doing it very well. But if anything happens to His Excellency the Major General, those cowards and moths will surely surrender immediately. ”
When Wu Mingke spoke, Zhang Shi thought of Ji Fengtai, a legendary businessman in Lushun, and he knew that this person was a spy of the Japanese, and he leaked out the defense map of the Lushun fortress - the fortress was originally contracted by him, and the last assassination of himself should also be related to him, but now Zhang Shi didn't want to confess him, and what Lushun wanted was only to consume the Japanese army, and according to the meaning of the headquarters, the final result was to occupy the Japanese army. Therefore, it is very necessary to stay in this Japanese eyeliner, and secondly, Ji Fengtai has an extraordinary relationship with the commander of the fortress and the commander of the Fourth Division, Fock, if there is really no evidence to arrest Konklachenko, then if he does not catch the handle, then his current command position will be in jeopardy. At that time, the Japanese army was lost without depletion into Lushun.
Zhang Shi was thinking in his mind, and waited for Na Umenke's words to finish before he said: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, the Japanese spies are in Arthur City, but you must know that they have been preparing for this war for several years, and we will not be able to find them in a short time. Just like the last assassination, there can be no result in the end. Now the best way is to strictly protect the safety of His Excellency Major General, that is, to go to the front line as little as possible, and it is better for someone else to do it for him if he really wants to go. "Reality is always cruel. Zhang Shi's words couldn't help but remind everyone of the results of the spy case where he was assassinated last time - although some things were found, they were immediately suppressed by several commanders.
Kontrachenko smiled slightly and said, "Dear Zhang, what I have to do now is to complete the task given to me by His Majesty the Emperor and lead all the soldiers to defend this fortress, and the soldiers are very brave. And I, the commander, can't think of a woman who will always retreat to the rear. If it is really going to be killed by Japanese artillery, I believe that it is also God's will. Although you helped us a lot, although the soldiers worked hard, although ...... Ay! Seeing what Zhang Shi wanted to say, Kondrachenko raised his hand and touched Zhang Shi's shoulder, he sighed and continued: "Actually, it is very difficult to defend Mount Weysokaia, because there is no systematic fortification there at all, and the Chinese deliberately omitted it when he was building. Hastily built fortifications under the bombardment of large-caliber artillery were difficult to hold. The tunnel warfare you reminded us about before has now begun. The Japanese have dug tunnels underneath our positions, and as long as they put explosives there, then what little fortifications we have now will be lost. Our outlying positions have been lost too early, and the two methods you mentioned before are very good, but they are difficult to implement. ”
"Difficult to implement?" Zhang Shi was very surprised. "My mentions are all targeted, Your Excellency, Major General. The most difficult thing is nothing more than the ammunition of the mortar, why is it difficult to implement? ”
Looking at Zhang Shi's expression, Kontrachenko's face was silent, but he was a little surprised in his heart, in his opinion, this guy of unknown origin is nothing more than an intelligence peddler, he earned millions of rubles from selling intelligence this time, of course it is not him, those mysterious friends behind him are going to get most of it, but now how do you feel as if you have a lot of feelings for Russia, is he really an Orthodox Christian?
When Kontrachenko was silent, Lieutenant Colonel Naumenko spoke, "Zhang, your method is good, but Mount Issokea is too hard, and the more you dig into it, the more water there is, and we can't tell you in a few months to go deep into the belly of the mountain, and then vertically to the top of the mountain." Without the protection of the tunnels in the belly of the mountain, even with large-scale mortars, the soldiers could not be spared under the bombardment of train shells, so ......" At this point, he glanced at Kontrachenko, saw that he acquiesced, and said, "Your Excellency the Major General means to escort you out of here tonight." Now that the Japanese have fully launched their attack, there is no skill to speak of, it can only be an exchange of human lives for human lives, if once the fortress falls, then we cannot guarantee your safety, the major general hopes to put you in a safer place, such as Zhifu. ”
"Zhifu?" Zhang Shi was very surprised, he didn't expect the day of withdrawal, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.
"Yes, Zhifu," said Kondrachenko, "on the other side of the Bohai Sea." If you take a boat at night, you can arrive during the day. During this time, the blockade of the strait by the Japanese was not very strict, and the possibility of passing through it was very high. If the war situation is clear, the Japanese will be afraid that we will escape, and the blockade will be tighter. Zhang, I don't know what you think in your heart, but for me, you and your friends are very important to Russia, especially since you also have the situation of the Japanese Navy, even if the fortress falls, as long as the Baltic Fleet can win, we will still win in the end. ”
The third general attack of the Japanese started, and Yang Rui's intelligence ended here, Zhang Shi also knew that it was useless for him to stay here, everything that should be done was done, and the rest depended on how the Russians fought it. Thinking of the previous secret message instructions, Zhang Shi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll prepare it right away." Tonight, I will cross the sea to Zhifu. ”
See that Zhang Shi agrees with his own mention. Kondrachenko breathed a sigh of relief, their previous assumption was that if Zhang Shi did not agree to go to Zhifu, then they would have to force their move - this person is too important to Russia, and now that their own side has lost, the cards that should be played by both sides on the fortress side have been played. The rest depends on how the two sides fight. He stayed here, if the fortress fell, then it was certain that he would be hunted down by the Japanese, but if he went to Zhifu, it was different, there was information about the fortress that could be transmitted from there immediately, and with him to provide information, the Baltic Fleet was likely to win the naval battle in the future - as the information provided by Zhang Shi became more and more effective. The Russians became more and more dependent on him, believing that he really had connections to the upper echelons of the Japanese base camp.
Zhang Shi quickly packed up his own, in fact, there was nothing, the most important thing was a radio receiver, mainly to accept telegrams from the Shanghai main station, because he was afraid of too many technical leaks. Only the ticker is used. Kontrachenko had already arranged the personnel here, and as soon as Zhang Shi went out, he got into the carriage that had already stopped at the door, and then drove to the dock, and the ship was already good over there, if it went along with the lì, then Zhang Shi would be able to reach the Russian Consulate in Zhifu early the next morning.
When Zhang Shi went out, he immediately saw a few eyes hidden on the other side of the street. Then these eyes followed skillfully until they saw that the carriage was up to the dock, and when they saw a boat departing, they turned and went back. A quarter of an hour later, the apartment of the Chinese businessman Ji Fengtai, "Master, that person was sent away." In the study, a person who looked like a housekeeper reported to Ji Fengtai again.
Ji Fengtai is about forty years old, and although he has long been a Russian citizen and has a Japanese passport, he still dresses as a Chinese gentry. As a businessman who has business in China, Japan and Russia, Ji Fengtai has a close relationship with the Japanese. At the request of the Japanese, he leaked a lot of information about the Lushun fortress and the city defense of Dalian, he was just a merchant, and it didn't matter who he paid taxes, and this time he took advantage of the Russo-Japanese War. He sold half of Lushun's property at a low price, which was a big war fortune. He listened to Zhang Shi's matter, Major General Fock, the commander of the Fourth Division of the Russian Army, and after reporting it to the Japanese, with his help, the Japanese organized an assassination against Zhang Shi, but it did not succeed. Now listening to the housekeeper's words, Ji Fengtai said, "Okay." I thought he would stay in the big nose room and not come out. Report it immediately, report to the Japanese, if you didn't die last time, you won't be so fatal this time. ”
When the butler heard this, he immediately said that he had withdrawn, and after a while, a radio wave came out of Lushun and headed straight for Zhifu.

Winter in the Northeast is as spicy as burning knives. However, in later generations, Yang Rui did not have a deep understanding of the winter in the Northeast, except for going to Heilongjiang to get blueberries and Shenyang Bajiazi Fruit Market to sand sugar oranges, he did not stay in the Northeast at all. At the beginning of the year, it was fine, winter went to spring, but now autumn is coming to winter, and it is getting colder and colder day by day, which really makes him uncomfortable. But although it is uncomfortable, as the commander of an army, he still has to lead by example.
On the training ground of the Red Clay Camp, the wind was cold and the snow was white. The recruits were being trained in formation, one by one squads sprinting through the snow to the other side of the wooded clearing, a horn constantly shouting, "Ladder team, ladder team...... One team, one team...... Triangle team, triangle team ......", with the order in the loudspeaker, one squad after another constantly changed the sprint formation, like a group of rabbits being chased by the wolf, running the line around and around, very twisted, at the same time running in the snow is really not easy, often see the recruits even with guns to the ground, whenever the leader of this group stops, reprimanded them to get up - since the last war, the staff summed up that now completely rely on the squad leader's command of the grassroots troops is still a little uncomfortable, these wooden handles are in good health, However, most of them are not highly educated, their ability to understand orders is too poor, and the situation of falling behind in battle is strict, so they add the position of team leader below the squad, an infantry squad of ten people, and there are three team leaders in addition to the squad leader, three people in each group. These team leaders are either veterans or relatively good recruits on the training table, so that the recruits and team leaders, team leaders and squad leaders, squad leaders and platoon leaders, and platoon commanders and company commanders have greatly improved the command smoothness of the entire unit.
The three-three system method can be regarded as solving the problem of basic obedience, but in addition to this problem, there are other problems, such as the bayonet technology of the troops is not good, the Russians eat meat after all, and their height and strength are much better than the grass-eating Orientals, if it is just a white-knuckle battle, the battle loss ratio of the revival army and the Russian army is estimated to be about 1:3. Of course, the real war will not be a simple white-knives war, but only the abandonment of the German bayonet technique that is not suitable for the Chinese physique. Finding a set of bayonets that suits the Orientals should be on the agenda. If bayonet technique is only a matter of method, then the other is a matter of experience: so all military cadets graduated in seven months, although these people are still studying relevant courses in Tonghua and have fought several battles, but this is still relatively slow to improve command experience. The mode in which the troops are now fighting is: The plan is made by the General Staff, and then the departments follow the plan, which does not require high command ability, and most cadets can still keep up, but in case the war situation is unfavorable, or there is no specific plan in the event of a war. Then these doll company commanders and battalion commanders are going crazy. It is said that according to the Americans, it takes 26 years to train a qualified division commander, of course, after World War II, there are many things to master, but now although infantry tactics are simple, it takes more than 20 years to train a qualified division commander. And now the Renaissance Army is barely qualified is a bunch of squad leaders, platoon commanders, and company commanders, as for the battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander, and division commander, they can only rely on Leo to support them first.
After watching the formation training of this wave of soldiers, Yang Rui turned his head and asked Leo: "Is there any other way besides this method?" It would be too much sacrifice to do so, and if our strength is exposed, then no matter who we are, they will be wary of us in the future. ”
Leo knew Yang Rui's concerns, but he still insisted on his opinion. "Yang, now is not the time for mercy, only continuous fighting can improve the command ability of officers, especially senior officers, and the combat effectiveness of the army."
"I know, I know, it's true that now is not the time for mercy, the revolution is not a dinner party, but ......," Yang Rui couldn't say anything, he just felt uncomfortable in his heart, "but...... In doing so, we're letting them die. ”
"That's the only way to train your students. Poplar. You have too little time, according to you, the Russo-Japanese War will end next year, and your uprising will be less than five to ten years old, which is not enough time for you to train high-ranking officers. How can you defeat government forces without high-ranking officers? And after you defeat the government army, you may also have to face the troops of the great powers, so while the war is not over, you have to devote the army, especially those excellent military academy graduates, to this war, and our previous battles can only train soldiers, but can not train senior officers at all. After more than half a year's experience, Leo has been fully integrated into this ** armed force, seeing the lack of senior officers in the army, and then thinking of Yang Rui's plan, he can't help but be anxious.
"Then what should we do if we expose our strength, then the government is very likely to attack." Yang Rui asked. Under Leo's painstaking persuasion, he was a little shaken, reality is reality, he can't conjure up so many high-ranking officers in a few years, so he can only use war to polish his practice.
Seeing that Yang Rui agreed a little, Leo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "At the beginning, we only need to send one or two regiments of about four or five thousand people, and then slowly increase the number of personnel, and now we have three military academy graduates, and there are hundreds of non-commissioned officer graduates from the non-commissioned officer training class, and there are enough non-commissioned officers." Those outstanding students can be placed in the position of battalion commander and above in the form of chief and deputy, and train them through the war, and after the war, they will return to Lorenzo Marques to complete four years of military academy study, Yang, you must know that without a complete military academy education, the ability of the officers cultivated will not be comprehensive. ”
Maybe the casualties are just numbers, Yang Rui thought so, after Leo finished speaking, he was silent for a while before saying, "Okay, then who should we turn to?" Japanese, Russians? ”
"Who is most likely to be our next enemy?" Leo Tract.
"Japanese." Yang Rui thought about the railway and said with certainty.
"Then we'll take refuge with the Russians." Leo Tract.
"It is not difficult to take refuge in the Russians, but now the troops have no good impression of Russia, and the officers can still communicate, but it is difficult for the soldiers to explain, and the most fearful thing is that they will think that they will take refuge in Russia to fight for the Russian Maozi, and it will be difficult to do it when the time comes." Yang Rui likes to vote for Russia and kill Japan, but because the Russians have done too many bad things in the past, the people and soldiers are extremely anti-Russian, and if the army is not good, the army will be chaotic, and the political commissars he trained have not yet become a climate, thinking about it, Yang Rui finally said, "I'll think about it again, and discuss with everyone to see how to solve the morale problem of the troops after they surrender to Russia." ”
This is indeed a problem, Leo spent a lot of time in the northeast, and also knew that the Chinese had a bad view of the Russians, the last time in Kuandian County, he saw Chinese women and all kinds of gold and silver jewelry and antique treasures drawn from the barracks of the Russian army, he was already completely disappointed in the Russian army, in his opinion, as a soldier, the most important thing is honor, "qiangjian", robbery are all tarnishing the honor of soldiers.
While speaking, Yang Rui and the others had already climbed to the top of the hill, which was also a training ground, but the training project here was not an infantry attack formation, but skiing.
