As of December 7, 1904, Japan and Russia had been fighting fiercely near Liaoyang for two months, and neither of them was able to break the current stalemate. On top of the Russian positions, shells from both sides flew like locusts towards each other's positions, and the heart-rending explosions made the entire battlefield bloody.

Bloody rags covered the earth, and the red blood stained the mountain beams, but despite this, the two sides still fought with red eyes, and the soldiers on the front line basically endured hunger, thirst and cold to fight for their opponents' lives, and many soldiers were not killed in battle, but were killed by the bad weather in the northeast.

Perhaps God could not stand such a tragic scene, and on December 8, the sky fell with goose feathers and heavy snow, and the fighting was forced to stop.

The Liaoxi Plain, which had been in flames of war for more than half a year, finally ushered in a moment of tranquility, and the Japanese and Russians began to seize the time to readjust their strategic layout, replenish troops and supplies, and wait for the weather to allow for the victory to be decided immediately.

The Volunteers have one more thing in a while, bicycles!

Yang Xiaolin originally wanted to develop his own motorized troops, after all, there are only more than 10,000 volunteers now, and with his current war production capacity, it is not too much of a problem to exchange a few motorcycles and cars from the Russians.

But then he realized that the mechanized troops were not for him. First of all, he didn't have so much gasoline, and even if he had, the terrain in the northeast was not suitable for the operation of motorized troops.

The bicycle is good, no gasoline, Zhou Tong can imitate it himself, this thing is also durable, the chain is off, the tire is burst, it is very easy to repair. There are also very low requirements for road conditions, which suits you.

Don't think that this bike is easy to make, this jishu of bicycle pneumatic tires of this era still belonged to the British and did not gain popularity.

After Huang Bao got in touch with Mr. Robert, Yang Xiaolin originally thought that this hooligan would slaughter himself again this time, after all, this hooligan was interested in what only he could sell. It has always been unrelenting in terms of price.

But what Yang Xiaolin didn't expect was that Mr. Robert actually changed after becoming a politician, and he was very generous to provide Yang Xiaolin with these tires at cost price. He also taught Jishu, who made pneumatic tires, and sent a special machine to Yang Xiaolin.

Yang Xiaolin was a little stunned by this hooligan's sudden change of sex, could it be that Western democracy is so miraculous that it can turn a hooligan into a gentleman? Leave that alone.

Robert wrote that there was now a war. It was inconvenient for him to come over. But he had already set up an office in Shanghai, where he had been for the past few years, and when the war was over, he hoped that Yang Xiaolin would invite him to come back to Yulun Mountain.

With jishu and the machine, rubber can be exchanged with a Japanese or a Russian. The production of bicycles in the base area was started with the help of Mr. Robert.

The bikes they produce are not the same as those of other countries, and in order to save resources, except for the little load-bearing part of the buttocks, everything else is replaced by wood. There is also a basket on each side of the bicycle, which can be used to store some weapons and equipment for the march. At the back of the car there was also a trunk with several spare tires, a wrench, and a pump for each squad.

The effect of the bicycle on the speed of the march is very obvious. Yang Xiaolin conducted experiments in his base area. Soldiers were allowed to march in full gear, and in the past they could run at most seventy or eighty miles in a day, but after riding a bicycle, if the road conditions are good, they can march fifteen kilometers in an hour.

Even if the road conditions are bad, it is much faster than walking. When I really encountered the kind of mountain terrain that I couldn't ride, the soldiers would pass by as soon as they carried it. …,

Of course. It's not enough for people to be mobile, but equipment and supplies must also be able to move.

Yang Xiaolin also needs a car. Gasoline is needed, and these things are also not produced by themselves. Especially gasoline. Fortunately, gasoline was not an important strategic material in this era, Yang Xiaolin bought it from the Russians, and the Russians did not suspect anything.

In Lao Maozi's opinion, it may be that this beast has made a little war money during this period of time and wants to make a car to have a good time, so let him sit down.

Things are always getting better little by little, and the mobility of the troops is improving, that is to say, the speed of the wolf of the volunteers is constantly accelerating. And the wolf's body is getting stronger day by day!

By January 1905, Yang Xiaolin had finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the grain reserves are very sufficient, he can loudly tell all the people in the base area that they don't have to worry about food this year.

The New Year is coming soon, Yang Xiaolin feels that the base area should be somewhat New Year's atmosphere, to be honest, from the time of crossing to the present, he has not even had a decent Chinese New Year's Eve.

Chen Tianhua and others are also very much in favor of this proposal, and it is good for the base areas to have a good New Year, especially for those people who came from Liaoxi, whose homes have just been destroyed by the war, and at this time they should feel that Liaodong is their new home, and let them feel warm.

The people in the base area received a notice that everyone could go to the local council to receive three catties of white noodles and eight taels of meat, and this news really made those ordinary people excited! White flour, meat, these things have been away from their lives for a long time, and some children who are not a few years old don't even know what white flour and meat are.

This is especially true of the people in Liaoping County, and now there are 40,000 people in Liaoping County, which can be regarded as a large county seat. Although Yang Xiaolin still uses the mode of centralized production and unified distribution in the distribution of materials, there are already some people who do small business on the streets.

Some of these people came from Liaoxi, and some came from other places, knowing that there was a shortage of materials here, and there were some things that could not be bought elsewhere, and they wanted to make a lot of money.

Yang Xiaolin didn't go to attack them, after all, the big pot rice is only a temporary strategy, it is an emergency means in wartime, if the people feel that they don't need the big pot of rice, when the war is far away, this policy can be canceled at any time.

But there is one thing, if any vendor is to raise prices, this will never be allowed.

Just when the base area was preparing for the New Year, the internal volunteers received an order to prepare for war!

Yang Xiaolin knew that the end of the Russo-Japanese War in history was because of the end of the Battle of Tsushima. Regardless of how the Japanese and Russia fought on land, Japan and Russia would sign an armistice when the Russian Baltic Fleet sank to the bottom of the sea in May of this year.

He changed the course of the confrontation between the Japanese army and the Russian team on land in the Russo-Japanese War, and now Lushun has not fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and the Russians have not lost the battle of Liaoyang, and the casualties of the Japanese and the Russians are much greater than in the Russo-Japanese War in history. However, that had no effect on the Battle of Matsuna.

So he must now be ready to look for fighters at any time. The fighter is really important, and he has to choose to shoot when Japan and Russia are exhausted. Kill one of them, and the other won't have much strength left to deal with himself.

This time, the order to prepare for war was issued in secret, and it was only issued to officers of the first rank of company commander, and those platoon commanders and soldiers did not know that under this strong festive atmosphere. Another war has already begun to brew.

The station of the Fourth Regiment is on the edge of Liaoping, in fact, if the eyes are a little brighter, people should be able to see that in the past, the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment were fully armed when they ran in the morning, and they were lightly armed when they ran in the afternoon, but now they basically have guns in their hands. …,

And also. Those soldiers who had been in and out of the county for a while suddenly had a little less, and there was no need for anything, and the soldiers were not allowed to leave the camp.

These subtle changes are the precursors of Yang Xiaolin's move. Maybe his body is not strong enough now, but he is already a wolf, he is prostrate beside the Japanese and the Russians, staring at the two robbers with two eyes to observe the fight between the two robbers, the Japanese and the Russians, as long as one of his sides shows a fatal flaw, Yang Xiaolin will not hesitate to pounce on and bite the robber to death!

The Japanese and Russians were apparently unaware of this. They were fighting fiercely.

But the balance of war slowly began to tilt in favor of the Japanese. As Commander Kuropatkin expected. The Russians were beaten and did not fight back, and no matter how strong they were, they could not withstand the continuous attacks of the Japanese.

Tsar Bixia is really a little too naïve, not naïve, but the Tsar's idea that the main battlefield of the Russo-Japanese War is still at sea. He believed that the Japanese would not be able to break through the strong Russian defenses, as long as the army could keep Port Arthur. When the Baltic Fleet arrives and defeats the Japanese Navy, aren't these landed Japanese units still turtles in an urn?

He just didn't expect it. What if your own Baltic Fleet can't beat the Japanese? What if your own army can't hold Lushun?

The Russian troops in Lushun were really very hard, although they arranged the defense of the hill according to the defense system of Professor Yang Xiaolin. The blood of the Japanese was spilled, but when the Japanese troops surrounded Liaoyang, the supply lines of the Russian troops in Lushun were cut off.

Liaoyang fought for more than two months, and their supplies were cut off for more than two months.

Lieutenant General Kendrashv is now at a loss, the entire army has been without food for three days, and the situation of soldiers on the front line dying from the cold when their physical strength cannot be guaranteed is getting more and more serious, just one night on January 17th, that is, last night, because the temperature was as low as minus 30 degrees, more than 1,000 Russian soldiers were frozen to death!

This figure is shocking, and Lieutenant General Kendrachev was busy sending a telegram to the commander to the Tsar, but the Tsar's reply was still those two words: "Defend to Zuihou alone!" ”

The lieutenant general was a little desperate, he was on the front line, and he knew his current situation best. You can't hold it any longer, and if you defend it any longer, your troops will be finished! As a soldier, he and his soldiers are not afraid of death, but if more than 100,000 people are starved to death in Lushun, it is somewhat too much.

Kendrachev couldn't accept such an outcome, he discussed it with a few Russian generals, and everyone also felt that the current situation could only be a dead end, rather than let the soldiers all starve to death here, it was better to take advantage of their still some combat effectiveness, kill those Japanese in Liaoyang from Lushun, and then join forces with the commander to recapture Lushun together.

So, the Russian troops in Lushun suddenly came out! Their move changed the originally stalemate of the battle situation. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
