The winter in the Northeast is getting colder, and the temperature in the field is only minus 20 degrees, and at night it is more than minus 40 degrees. Yang Rui rode on a horse, wearing a tall round hat, a fur coat, and imitation Lapland boots, dressed like a Russian ** official, but he still felt cold, and every few miles he had to get off the horse and lead the horse for a while, otherwise his legs would freeze.

The marching soldiers in front of him and behind him did not have the problem of freezing their legs because they did not ride horses, but they had to keep walking, and once they stopped, the cold air coming from the soles of their boots would freeze their wet socks, and it was very likely that their feet would be frostbitten, and they would have to knock off the snow from their boots every once in a while. Looking at the troops walking on the vast snowy area, Yang Rui was very glad that they were all northerners, and they were more frost-resistant than himself, from the south, and at the same time, the things taught by the Finns were still very useful, especially the fur round tent with a fire burning at night camping, which minimized the losses of the soldiers due to the cold.

It had been five days of walking, and at a rate of thirty kilometers a day, the 2nd Brigade advanced towards Mukden. Because the tricolor flag of the Russians was hung in front of the team, the Qing soldiers along the way did not dare to disturb it, but from time to time some cavalry hung and peeked from afar, Yang Rui didn't care about this, as long as they didn't send cavalry to drive them away outside a certain range, the team of nearly 10,000 people couldn't hide it. When the sun was setting, the cavalry battalion commander Xiang Xiang came over on horseback, and he saluted and said, "Five miles ahead is today's campsite." ”

"Where is this, have you arrived in Fushun?" Yang Rui asked because he was holding his breath coldly.

"Yes, sir, this is the Fushun Realm. The day after tomorrow, you will arrive in Mukden. Xiang Xiang replied loudly, although he is from Zhejiang, he has a rare ability to adapt to the cold. Looking at his free and easy appearance, Yang Rui couldn't help but think, am I old?

The camp was imminent, and the troops couldn't help but increase their pace, and in less than half an hour they all arrived at the place, which was actually in the valley next to the official road on the north bank of the Hunhe River. The cavalry who arrived early had already set up their places, and each regiment and company had put up flags, so that all units could see their flags and set up camps. When the camp was arranging the house and still lighting a fire, the sentry came to report that the auspicious adults in Fushun outside had sent livestock and grain to the army, which made Yang Rui stunned when he heard it, thinking that Xu is Russian Maozi is too fierce in the northeast. So that the officials everywhere are careful to worship. He said in a deep voice: "I will disappear the people, just accept the things they sent." ”

The sentry took the order, and Zhang Huanrong, who had just entered the tent next to him, said, "This auspicious person is still a capable official, and he is really dedicated to protecting the country and the people in the year of Gengzi." ”

Yang Rui saw Zhang Huanrong talking and asked, "What." You're back so soon? How's it going? ”

"Report to the commander, it's all done, that Mr. Wang didn't know who he was scared by last time, and as soon as he heard that this coal mine was saved, he hurriedly agreed," Zhang Huanrong rode to Fushun City first in the morning, and found Mr. Wang from Fushun Coal Mine and talked once, "Look." He and I signed the paperwork. After that, he showed a document to hand over to Yang Rui.

Yang Rui waved his hand, the documents were all written by himself, and he already knew the content inside, Zhang Huanrong only needed that old man Wang to draw a charge, this time the work was so smooth, it seemed that it was his own credit last time, he was about to speak, who knew that there was another orderly outside and shouted: "Report." Someone from the command of the Russian army. ”

Entering Fushun entered the sphere of influence of the Russian army, and it was estimated that they knew it when they were in Qingyuan the day before, Yang Rui shouted: "Please invite them." At the same time, he motioned for Zhang Huanrong to go down.

After a while, a Russian lieutenant herald and a Chinese entered, and Yang Rui guessed that this Chinese should be an interpreter. After Yang Rui confirmed his identity, the lieutenant handed over the order and said, "The commander-in-chief ordered your department to rush to Fengtianguantun at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Please be punctual. ”

Tomorrow at four p.m., fuck it. Yang Rui scolded in his heart, looking at the map, it is not less than fifty kilometers from Fushun to that place, and it will only take eight hours to get out at four o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, even at eight o'clock in the morning. It's completely dismounted, and it seems that it's not so easy to get mixed up with that Billy Gellinger general. Knowing that even if he opposes the other party, he can't change the order, he's just a herald. Yang Ruili said, "Our department will arrive on time at 4 pm tomorrow." ”

As soon as the herald left, Yang Rui pulled Madrydov over, and he threw the order to him, "What is your commander-in-chief doing here, our purpose is Shaling Fort in the west of Fengtian, why do you want us to go to Wenguantun?" ”

With hazy drunken eyes, the colonel waited for the Russian on the paper and shouted, "Damn Kuropatkin, he is trying to put us under the command of the Linenkov detachment." ”

"The Linenkov detachment?" Yang Rui now understands the formation series of the Russian army better than before, this Lyonenkov detachment is completely a straggler group, responsible for replenishing the losses of various armies, and Kuropatkin will not want to dismantle himself and replenish the armies. With such concern, Yang Rui asked, "Does he want to break us apart, Colonel Madlidov?" ”

"No, no, it's not like that." The colonel hurriedly denied, "He just doesn't want us to return to the Second Army of General Billy Gellinger, and now His Excellency the General has been planning an attack on Japan, but the coward Kuro Padant is unwilling to attack, he is afraid that His Excellency the General will win and step down himself." Yang, we can't carry out this order, we have to bypass Mukden and get to where the Second Army is. Don't worry about supplies, the general has already prepared them for us. ”

The colonel said it easily, but Yang Rui didn't dare to listen to the drunken bastard of Madelidov, this is not the previous mountain forest, as long as he disobeys his orders, then the surrounding Russian troops will surround him, and the fate of his troops can be imagined. He said, "You better contact your general immediately and let him find a way to negotiate with the coward." Since I am already a member of the Russian series, then the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief must be carried out. ”

This was the end of the discussion of the order, and the next morning, the troops pulled out their camps and headed for the civilian tun, until the troops entered the civilian tun, and there was no news from the side of the Second Army, and it seemed that the confrontation between the general and the commander-in-chief ended in the defeat of the general. After Yang Rui arrived at Wenguantun, there were no heralds coming, and after he entered Wenguantun, he ordered his troops to disperse and camp, and the villages within a radius of several miles were forcibly occupied by his troops, and the farthest one was sent to Puhe Town, which was more than 10 kilometers away near Qipan Mountain, and at the same time, the fortifications were excavated as soon as possible -- he always had a sense of insecurity when he entered the Russian-controlled area.

Different from the comfort of the Russo-Japanese winter war in the travel novel, the land of the Northeast in the cold winter was frozen hard by the low temperature of minus 40 degrees, and the sapper shovel and sapper pickaxe made of German Krupp steel were swung with all their strength every time. It can only leave a shallow mark on the frozen soil, and it only digs less than four centimeters in more than three hours. I hadn't dug fortifications in the frozen ground before, and I didn't think that the defense in winter would be so difficult. Yang Rui frowned and ordered, "Burn it, burn it with fire, let the room only keep three days' soybean oil, and use the rest to pour wood." If the frozen soil on it is burned, it will be easy to dig, and the order will be sent down, and it will not be allowed to sleep until the fortifications are dug. ”

After demolishing the houses of more than 20 families and using up the excess soybean oil in the houses, the soldiers finally dug up about two feet of frozen soil above at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. When Yang Rui heard the report of the initial completion of the fortifications, he felt a little more steady, dropped the map and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Leo, who was at the headquarters of the Second Army, accompanied the Germans on the Russian side to watch the battle von Von. Lieutenant Colonel Deftaver, who had known Leo in Germany before, was surprised to see Leo in the Far East. What was even more surprising was that Leo had also trained an army in the Far East, and he couldn't help but follow Leo himself to visit the camp, and when he saw the fortifications of the Renaissance Army along the way, he exclaimed, "Oh, God." Sue me sù Did they arrive last month? When were these fortifications dug? ”

The focus on fortifications was entirely due to Yang Rui, and in the era when World War I had not yet arrived and countries were competing to study the Boer skirmishers, fortifications were completely beyond the attention of active duty officers. Leo rode on his horse, looked at the scattered defensive positions on the high ground and said, "Their commander has always cared about fortifications. As soon as the camp lasts for a day, the formal fortifications are excavated. Karl, their commander is a good man, there is always some new but practical idea in his head, and I learned a lot from him. I hope you don't ......"

"Oh, I know, I know." Feng. Lieutenant Colonel Deftaaf hurriedly said, "Don't look at him as a white man, Leo, you've said this a few times." I'm curious about him now. You know, the Russians are not doing well in the Far East, they are not only afraid of the Japanese, but also of bandits in the forest. Why did he join the Russian army? According to Hoffmann (German observer on the Japanese side), the Japanese are now bribing the Chinese everywhere. ”

Feng. Deftaft still talked as much as before, and Leo remembered that they were considered of the same rank when they were in military school, and then their opportunities were different because of the difference between commoners and nobles. "That's a question for their commander, Karl, hopefully... Wang, will like you. ”

When Leo arrived at the headquarters - in fact, it is a Confucian temple in the Wenguantun - Yang Rui had already gotten up and looked at the map spread on the table, he held a piece of information that had just arrived, Lushun had surrendered, General Kontrachenko was killed in the chaos, and the commander of the fortress had ordered the surrender to the Japanese army, Yang Rui originally thought that Lushun should fall early next month, but the Japanese Navy really couldn't wait, and under the urging of the Japanese headquarters base camp, one division after another of the Japanese army was thrown into the meat grinder, Of the 64,000 soldiers who attacked the fortress, less than 30,000 survived, and half of those 30,000 were wounded.

The Japanese army captured the Arthur fortress "ahead of schedule", so what will happen to the subsequent battles of Heigoutai and Mukden? According to history, the Russian army surrendered in Lushun on January 1, O5, and the Battle of Heigoutai began in the early morning of January 24, during which there were only 23 days, and the subsequent Battle of Mukden was on March 1, only two full months after the surrender of Lushun, a total of 60 days. Now that the surrender of Lushun has been extended to January 25, an extra twenty-five days, is it true that Heigoutai and Mukden will be postponed for twenty-five days? Yang Rui was thinking about it, and at the same time, the light coming from outside the temple gate measured the distance of Lushun north to Fengtian.

Suddenly, I saw that the light at the door was dim, and I thought that it was another orderly who stopped me and was about to speak, when Leo's voice rang out, "Hehe, Wang, will you also get up early?" "Yang Rui otaku is used to it, the bigger the troops, the more things they think about, and the night is naturally the best time to think, so it doesn't get up until noon every day.

Seeing that it was Leo coming, Yang Rui handed over the telegram and said, "Lushun fell at eight o'clock this morning, I was awakened by the telegram, can I not get up?" ...... behind us"

Before Yang Rui finished speaking, he heard another German's voice ringing out, "Really? Has Lushun fallen? Kuro Padanti also said where to at least hold on until the Baltic Fleet returns, oh. Oh my God. ”

Suddenly, there was another German voice, Yang Rui was different, and immediately understood that he was a leak, military wireless telegraphy is a Class A secret of the Fuxing Army, and the antennas arranged outside are all disguised with myths and stories - such as lightning rods, god-worshipping pillars, and so on. This time, I was unintentionally leaked.

Leo also knew that there was an accident, and he hurriedly said: "This is the German 6th Army Feng . Lieutenant Colonel Deftaft. He was a classmate of mine from my former military school, Yang... No, king, he can still be trusted. ”

It turned out to be Leo's classmate, and Yang Rui thought that the German army should be strengthened. Otherwise, how could the First World War end later, Yang Rui laughed, stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." ”

Feng. Deftaft didn't know that Yang Rui was so fluent in German, and he was still surprised by the news of the fall of Lushun before, and then the glimmer of light at the door, he saw a tall yellow man in a Russian-style major general's uniform smiling at him. He was stunned for a moment, and only then suddenly stretched out his hand and shook Yang Rui tightly under Leo's reminder. "It is an honor to meet you, Your Excellency." At the moment of meeting, he didn't feel that Yang Rui was a yellow person at all.

Since the secret has been exposed, there is nothing to hide, Yang Rui took them to the side of the map and said: "Lushun to Mukden is only more than 400 kilometers, after the Great War, the rectification, the replenishment of troops and materials, and the time to go north, the Japanese will be enough for more than 20 days." That's the case. Then our attack on the left flank of the Japanese army must be launched immediately, otherwise it will be difficult to fight as soon as the Third Army arrives. ”

Leo fully agreed with Yang Rui's opinion, but, "His Excellency Kuropagent still disagrees with the Second Army's battle plan, he means that the Sixteenth Army on the road will be used as a strategic reserve before the offensive can be moved." However, the 'Japanese' blew up the Songhua River Bridge on the Dongqing Railway, so it was only until the end of March that the 16th Army arrived. "On Mukden's side. With his German roots and the prestige of Field Marshal Golz, Leo was appointed as a temporary staff officer by the commander of the Second Army, General Billy Gerlinger, and he was well aware of the offensive plan, which had been fully drawn up last month, but which Kuropatkin had refused to approve.

"No, Senior General Kuropatkin agreed," said the newly arrived German Lieutenant Colonel of the 6th Army, von Murphy. "He always believed that the Japanese Third Army had 100,000 men, and before the 3rd Army marched north, he would be willing to launch an attack to defeat the Japanese army." ”

"100,000?" Yang Rui smiled in his heart, he didn't know how many people there were after the Third Army conquered Lushun in history, but now he can have 25,000 people, all of whom can be regarded as Amaterasu's great god. "Oh, that's a powerful force, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, how did you know that Kuropagent thought that?"

"That's what everybody said," maybe from an aristocratic background, von. Deftaaff was not at all as rigorous as the Germans, but perhaps he was telling the truth, "That's what the command is all about." By the way, Your Excellency General, how did you know that the fortress of Arthur had fallen, you know, Lushun had completely lost contact with this side for the first two months? ”

"It's a secret," Yang Rui said, "but I want you to promise in the name of the nobles that you won't tell anyone else about it." ”

"Yes, I pledge, in the name of my ancestor, the Earl of Deftaff, to keep this secret tightly." Feng. Deftaaf shouted half-truthfully.

Seeing that he was pretending to be very serious, Yang Rui said with a smile, "My troops are equipped with radio wave equipment, and Lushun also has our wireless telegraph outlets, you must know that the Northeast is my motherland, and there are our people everywhere." The third Japanese attack on the fortress of Arthur estimated the loss of about 40,000 men. ”

Feng. Seeing that what Yang Rui said was true, Deftaft did not refute it, but said: "Your Excellency, why do you want to stand on the Russian side?" As far as I know, most of the Qing people were helping the Japanese, and there were tens of thousands of Manchuria under the Japanese general Fukushima... Warriors, they are constantly destroying the logistics line of the Russian army. ”

"Everyone's choice is different," Yang Rui pretended, "Many of my subordinates hate the Japanese army very much, some because of the war ten years ago, and some because the Japanese cut off their livelihood and made it impossible for them to eat." As for me, I don't have any good feelings for the Japanese, who have always wanted to use my hometown of Liaodong as their sphere of influence, which is unacceptable to me. ”

Feng. Deftaft was just curious about Yang Rui and his army, and even had a hint of fantasy in his heart - would the Germans be able to get something in Manchuria? Of course, this is just his fantasy, and there are now three forces in Manchuria -- some time ago, Mr. Zheshi, the consul general of the United States in Mukden, officially stated that he hoped that Japan and Russia would not harm the interests of American enterprises in China when they were at war, and that the Antongbong Railway, which started construction this year, was built by an American company, and that the two teams must abide by the rules of engagement and not destroy the property of the neutral party. Thinking of this Feng. Lieutenant Colonel Deftav couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, those hillbillies are really lucky, the Russo-Japanese War is not over yet, and they will take Changbai Mountain without dying alone, although it is a mountainous area, but there are a lot of minerals.
