Seeing that Xu Jingxi intended to let go of 6 Mengxiong, Li Erhu smiled all over his face, and said vigorously, "Don't worry, don't worry." Yes, there is nothing wrong with the head of the regiment. ”

6 Mengxiong and the new battalion stalemate in the snow for a long time, until it snowed heavily in the sky, 6 Mengxiong ordered the soldiers to disband, after the anger and anxiety of the 6 Mengxiong was very calm, he just wanted to sleep well, and then the next battle to get a good whole of these soft eggs, after making up his mind 6 Mengxiong asked Li Erhu for five or six officers, so he casually found a tent to sleep. Seeing that 6 Mengxiong was asleep, Li Erhu put his mind at ease and also left with a machine gun.

6 Mengxiong recuperated and prepared for the next battle, the confrontation between the Second Army and the General Headquarters was raging on the telephone line, in the opinion of the commander-in-chief Kuropatkin, the Japanese army in the central position was constantly shelling the Russian positions, and the Japanese barracks were often cars in and out, as if they were preparing for a large-scale attack, of course, this was only seen from the side of the Russian position, but Kuropatkin's other sources of intelligence, because there was no harmonious relationship with the Qing people, so, there was no other intelligence supportIn view of the bombing of the railroad and the belated arrival of the European armies, Kuropatkin decided that the Second Army should be stopped and the Tenth Army should be transferred back to strengthen the Third Army in the central position.

In the opinion of General Billy Gellinger of the Second Army, now that the Japanese army has transferred several divisions and regiments to prevent its own attack on their flank, then the strength of the Japanese central defense line must be reduced, and at this time, as long as the Third Army in the center or the First Army on the other side launches a large-scale offensive, then it will be easy to break through the Japanese defense line. As long as the Russian army penetrates the Japanese defense line at any point, then take advantage of the situation to break through, and the entire Japanese army will collapse immediately, even if it is not completely annihilated by the Russian army, then it will also be driven to the sea. At most, it relied on the support of the Japanese Navy to barely resist the Russian army.

In all fairness, although General Billy Gellinger is old, no matter how old he is, he is still a regular officer, not just a staff officer like Kuropagent, who only dares to think but dare not do it, because any choice will abandon other options. Kuropagent, who was born as a staff officer, did not have such courage, while General Billy Gellinger had such courage, but it was the staff officers, not the generals, who decided the situation. So when the Japanese pretended to attack, Kuropagent flinched, or because he saw Billy Gerlinger's results. Of course, he did not come forward himself, but asked the chief of operations, Major General Ai Erut, to give the command of the Second Army the order to "stop the offensive and retreat back." Billy Gerlinger, who had a tough personality, pushed back this order, and then after a while Major General Ai Erut called and told the command the reason for the order. The two men were arguing on the phone about whether to retreat to deal with the Japanese defense or to aggressively attack to suppress the Japanese on all fronts, and Billy Gellinger kept yelling as he spoke, and finally, when Major General Ai Erut said that "the follow-up ammunition of the Second Army cannot be fully replenished", Billy Gellinger was gently knocked down.

That night, Yang Rui received an order from the headquarters of the group army, the content of which was to "retreat." ”

Yang Rui took the telegram and asked Colonel Madlidov, "Colonel, what's going on?" ”

The colonel looked decadent and said: "The idea of the despicable conspirator, he wants to give the soldiers positions in exchange for blood to the Japanese. ”

Seeing the colonel gritting his teeth, Yang Rui knew that this order came from the General Headquarters. Instead of a simple tactical retreat, when he received the telegram before, he thought that General Billy Gellinger was going to play a tactical retreat and put the Japanese army in to fight, and he was very confused at that time, such a high-level tactic should not be something that the elm head of the general could come up with. It turns out that this is the case, it seems that this training is over, and the training will have to wait until the battle of Mukden.

Since this is the case, then retreat, Yang Rui said to Leo: "Inform the troops." Just follow the plan. "I had already made a retreat plan before, but Yang Rui didn't know when the Battle of Heigoutai would end this time.

Soon, the order to retreat reached the front, and Xu Jingxi, who was in charge of the front line, was also stunned when he saw the order, he thought that he would have to fight for a few more days before he finished work, but he didn't expect the battle to end so quickly. He immediately gave orders to the battalions of the 1st Regiment to take over the defensive positions immediately, and the plan was that the headquarters of the 2nd Division would retreat first, and the 3rd battalion of the 1st Regiment would be responsible for breaking the rear. The route of retreat was the route used by the previous regiment to attack the three-pointed bubble, and the efforts of the people for several days finally repaired this road, although it was not very smooth, but at least the artillery carriages could pass through guò.

6 Mengxiong, who received the order, was talking to the soldiers of the newly formed battalion, in fact, it was more like a lecture than a curse, he would be stunned when he saw the order, and the new battalion was to enter the position in the second half of the night, but now he was still mobilizing and was ordered to retreat, 6 Mengxiong stopped the signal soldier who sent the order, and said: "You are not mistaken. Is this a retreat? ”

The signal corpsman knew the temper of the regiment commander and did not dare not answer, so he said: "Yes, regiment commander, the order of the group army is to retreat, so ......"

6 Mengxiong crumpled the paper in his hand, very angry, but very impatient, he also wanted to pull this ticket to the battlefield to toss and toss, who knew that the sky was not as good as people wanted. It's really spicy next door! He reluctantly said to the soldiers in front of him, all companies and platoons should pay attention to their outfits and prepare to retreat at night.

The second-rate sons of the newly formed battalion thought that they would be brought to the battlefield by the killing god in front of them tonight, and then faced the Japanese army who was as crazy as last night, although they were unwilling, but none of them dared to disobey the order of the killing god, and when the big guy was determined to die, he suddenly heard the order to retreat, and the whole camp was silent for a while, and suddenly cheered, and some people immediately knelt down to worship the sky, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Amitabha Buddha and the like all came out.

Seeing them behave like this, 6 Mengxiong couldn't cry or laugh, he yelled, "Lizheng! ”

The man who fell to the ground immediately stood up reflexively, and then returned to the camp under the command of 6 Mengxiong. This group of people is really hopeless, 6 Mengxiong thought so, it is better to dismiss as soon as possible.

At the time when the Russian troops retreated on all fronts from Heigou Tai to Tong Erbao, in the headquarters of the Manchurian Army in Yantai, Major General Fukushima Yasumasa was briefing Chief of Staff Kodama on the situation of the Independence Army. For the newly released Lukuni Independent Army, the entire Kodama Gentaro was very puzzled. Where did this strong army come from? actually ate two of his own brigades in a row, which had to make the whole person pay the highest attention to it. When the situation on the left flank was severe, Gentaro Kodama did not have the heart to listen to the affairs of this independent army, and after the successful night attack of the 2nd and 8th Divisions yesterday, the left flank was safe. He had the heart to hear Fukushima talk about the Independence Army.

"Your Excellency," Fukushima said politely, "it is believed that the Independence Army of Lu Country was formed by the merger of two teams, one is the Horse Thief Mountain Sculpture Department that was entrenched in Liuhe County before, about 10,000 people, and the other is the Kwantung Detachment led by Zhang Zongchang in the rear of the Russian army. The leader was Zhang Zongchang, a native of Shandong, and this unit originally maintained the railway in the Harbin area, and the number was about 20,000. According to intelligence, only a small part of the army was combat-ready, and the attacking soldiers had not been adequately trained when they had previously demonstrated their offensive in front of military attachés of various countries. When they heard the sound of the cannons, they turned and fled. So I judged that in this army, the Lu ** officer is the skeleton, and the Qing horse thief is flesh and blood. As far as the situation of the Manchurian Volunteer Army is concerned, as long as the officers are brave and play an exemplary role, the combat effectiveness of the entire army will be greatly enhanced. ”

Fukushima's speculation is still very reasonable. At least on the Japanese side, this has been proven, although the training of the soldiers is very insufficient, but as long as the officers command properly, and then can play an exemplary role, the beard of the face will follow the officers to charge. After the officers brought it a few times, and the courage of the beards was honed, then even if the officers did not charge, the beards dared to carry out the order. Kodama said: "Yubi Guangwei of the Eighth Division said that the news he received said that there were regular troops of the Qing State in the independent army of Lu Country, which seems to be not true. ”

"Aoki Tongguò has investigated his connections in Beijing, and now it is certain that there is no regular Qing army participating in the Lu army. Yubi's message is not correct. And the patrol battalions in Heilongjiang and Jilin have not been greatly mobilized, so the abnormal combat effectiveness of the independent army still lies in the combination of horse thieves and Lu ** officers. Fukushima said.

Kodama still agreed with Fukushima's speculation, and he nodded and motioned for him to continue. Seeing that the chief of staff recognized his speculation, Fukushima said, "Now the Dongqing Railway has been bombed." The degree to which the troops of Lu Europe will be transferred to Manchuria will be reduced, and there will be only four trains going south every day, but although the number of trains will be reduced, as long as Lu Guo implements this method, the number of Lu ** troops will increase by 3 to 40,000 people. ”

"Three to forty thousand?" Kodama was a little surprised, "Can there be so many?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Fukushima said, "In the last battle of Shahe alone, the Russian army lost 45,000 people, and the weapons of these soldiers can be handed over to the recruited Qing people, as long as there are so many officers in the Lu country, they can increase so many people in a short period of time." And according to the intelligence, there are now many carpenters on the other side of the Yalu River who have joined the army of the mountain carving, they are very dissatisfied with some of the policies of the empire, it is estimated that the number of carpenters in the Changbai Mountain area is about 100,000, and they are all unemployed now, and the Tonghua Railway Company will not officially start recruiting until April, so I am very worried that they will join the army of the Lu people. ”

The timber policy on the Yalu River was not entirely decided by the Manchurian Army Command, but was more determined by the attitude of the Japanese chaebols and the imperial family; wars, especially wars of aggression, were all made by sacrificing soldiers and making money by the chaebols, and those traitors confiscated the timber in the name of the Manchurian Army, and then changed their identities to sell the confiscated timber to the Manchurian Army.

Kodama didn't want to talk about the Yalu River wood, and asked, "What kind of person is the mountain carving, can he serve the empire like Feng Linge?" ”

"The real name of the mountain carving is Wang Qinian, and he is directly affiliated with the people. In the twenty-eighth year of the Meiji era, he left the Qing ** team to enter the mountains to pan for gold, and then because he lost the battle for the ore veins with his accomplices, he went into the mountains to be a horse thief, and his previous name was called to do a good job, and his troops were only more than 100 people, and it is said that he met a Taoist priest who helped him change his name to a mountain carving, and began to make it bigger. In the area of Changbai Mountain, only the Black Mountain Department of Huairen can compete with it. In addition, the last attack on the Imperial Obo military station was completed by the Yama Sculpture Division. ”

"Nani?" Kodama still has a deep memory of the previous attack on Kumatake Castle, especially since the Japanese army could only charge with white knives because of the explosion of the ammunition reserves, "Are they really them?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Major General Fukushima said: "This was revealed by the horse thieves on Huairen's side, last month. The mountain eagle attacked their camp and snatched the Lu people they had captured before, after which the mountain eagle was bribed by Colonel Madlidov of the Lu country and joined the Lu ** team. ”

"That's right." Kodama said, "It seems that it is impossible to buy them. ”

"Yes." Fukushima said. "But now the horse thief Black Mountain Demon on Huairen's side, he is with the Lu people because of the mountain carving, and now he seems to want to take refuge in us. They reached out to us last month,"

Kodama knows the situation of the Black Mountain Demon, and this force that can independently exterminate the regular army of the Lu Kingdom has long been on the list of wooers, but the other party has always refused to see his own people. They seem to like to occupy their own territory, and no one pays attention to it, who knows that as soon as the mountain carving takes refuge in the country of Lu, they will also find a backer, and it can be regarded as a good bird to choose a tree to perch on. In contrast, the branch is the smallest revival army, which is only full of enthusiasm and has no pragmatic spirit at all, and has repeatedly shirked its own efforts. But fortunately, their target is the Lu people, especially the bombing of the Songhua River Bridge this time, which is their credit. God bless the Empire.

"And how many of them are there?" Kodama asked.

"They say they have 10,000 people."

"Ten thousand?"

"Yes, judging from the last time they eliminated the Lu ** team in Pingdingshan, they should have about five thousand people. At that time, the Lu ** team fled north in panic, and then entered their ambush, and they had an artillery similar to that used by the Third Army. The range is very close, but it can shoot shells quickly, and the power of these shells is less than that of ordinary shells, judging from the smoke from the shells, we speculate that it should be filled with black powder, but these cannons have played a great role in eliminating the Lu ** team. "Fukushima's information mainly came from Hanada Nakanosuke, and he witnessed the entire battle with his own eyes that time, but what he didn't know was that it was already dark at that time, and many things about Hanada Nakanosuke were also guessed by himself.

"The artillery of the Third Army? Haha......" Gentaro Kodama laughed. Because the Third Army was engaged in trench warfare in Lushun and Luguo, it specially made a lot of wooden cannons, which were made by breaking the hardwood, hollowing out the heart and then putting it together, so as not to blow it up when the shells were fired. There are also a lot of ropes around the gun body, although the artillery is simple, but the power is very limited, especially the firing range is only a few hundred meters, and some large calibers are less than 100 meters, which can be regarded as an emergency method for the soldiers of the Third Army.

Kodama finished laughing and said, "The poor have a poor man's way." If they have 10,000 people, then guns and ammunition are not enough. Now is not the era of black powder. ”

"Your Excellency, the horse thieves of the Qing Kingdom often brag about their strength for the sake of face, according to the number of Lu ** they have eliminated, they only have less than five thousand rifles, so it is unlikely that there are 10,000 people, there should be a brigade." Fukushima has been counting the number of Lu ** teams eliminated by the Black Mountain Demon Department, and the result of the statistics is that the Lu ** team eliminated by them is about 4,000 people, not more than 5,000 people, plus the civilian guns they can collect, so it is judged that their number is about one brigade.

"Having a brigade is also very helpful for us." Kodama said, "It's the third mobilization in China, and we will have a decisive battle with Team Lu next month." With more Qing horse thieves joining us, we can reduce the pressure on the main force. ”

Fukushima knew the importance of winning over this horse thief for the later battles, especially the losses of the Japanese army in continuous battles were very large, but now he has won over all the people he should have wooed, and the number of Manchurian volunteers has almost reached 30,000, and there is really no one to pull. However, his own people can't pull, he has a plan to dig the wall. He took out a plan from the Wen Jiàn folder he carried with him and handed it to Kodama, and then said, "Your Excellency, here is a plan, maybe it can disintegrate the Qing horse thief forces in the Lu Kingdom, and in addition, it can also investigate the leak of the base camp. ”

Hearing this, Kodama took it, looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked, "We don't have many armed forces in North Manchuria, if the plan is not successful, then ......?"

Fukushima Yasumasa said, "That's right. Your Excellency, but if the plan is successful, it will be of great help to the Empire. At present, the Imperial army in Manchuria plus the Third Army in Lushun is only 160,000 people, and even if it is mobilized at home, it will not exceed 220,000, and many of them are reserves; And the Lu ** team now has 230,000 people, according to the supply degree of the railway, when the decisive battle is more than a month, then they are likely to exceed 270,000 people, if you add the Qing horse thieves, then the gap between us and the Lu country is too big, but as long as this plan can be realized, then the gap in number will not be so big. In addition, there is the leak incident on the Lushun side. We didn't catch the person involved, although a thorough investigation was done in Tokyo, but there was no result, according to the captured high-ranking officer of Lu Guo, the information seller Nikolai. Ivanovich. Zhang seems to have some connection with the mountain carving, and if you send someone to the mountain carving, you may be able to find some clues......"

After the occupation of Arthur, the Japanese finally knew why their attack was controlled everywhere, and the results of the investigation made the Japanese base camp panic, but there was no countermeasure, they had no idea what was going on. The Yan zhòng question finally made Kodama Gentaro make a decision, and he said, "Okay, then let's contact Aju." ”
