February 23. The battle in western Liaoning was very fierce.

The Volunteers have already begun to prepare for retreat, and it is precisely because they are leaving, that they have to let Nogi Noshinori shed a little more blood to ensure that this guy will not dare to pursue when the Volunteers retreat. Yang Xiaolin took the main positions of the Japanese army as the target of the attack, and consumed as much as possible the living liliang of the Japanese Third Army. Of course, if Nogi Noshinori accidentally revealed a flaw, Commander Yang wouldn't mind leaving for a few days late for this big meal.

Nogi Noshinori was still a little unconvinced before fighting the Volunteers, and he also thought that Yang Xiaolin was opportunistic in fighting the Second Army, and this gang of bandits could not really be as fierce as Matsumura said. But when he actually faced the charge of the Volunteers, he immediately realized that he had indeed underestimated his opponents, and that they were no longer the same troops they had been a few years ago.

After several days of fighting, the ratio of casualties on both sides remained at about 1:17. This was also thanks to the fact that there was a remnant of the Second Army behind him, Liliang, who garrisoned Dalian for him, pinned down some of the forces of the Volunteers, and ensured his logistics.

Nogi Noshinori is a little glad now, glad that Yang Dagui didn't choose himself as the first target, otherwise, he estimated that he would be the same as Matsumura Matsumura. Such thoughts do not indicate Nogi's fear, which is his sober awareness of the enemy.

Yesterday he also sent a telegram to the military headquarters, emphasizing that the Japanese army had made a mistake in military deployment at the beginning of the war, and that the defeat of the Second Army was not the responsibility of Matsumura alone.

The Japanese military department also re-examined the combat ability of the volunteers, and they also realized that they were indeed wrong before the war, and you can't just go all out to fight Yang Xiaolin, a beast, and you really can't beat it without taking off your two arms and fighting to the death.

At that moment, Matsumura really didn't give Matsumura any punishment, but only verbally criticized him, and let him continue to lead the remnants of the Second Army to fight in Dalian with the Third Army, and then he used Jihua who proposed to land in Jinxi with Naogami Matsubara.

Now it seems that it has become easier for them to land in Jinxi, and they used to have to consider the attitude of the Beiyang Army. Now the Shili of the Beiyang Army has all left Jinxi, and the Russians have no garrison in that place. I believe that after the Japanese army landed, they couldn't manage it.

Not only the Japanese warships, merchant ships, and passenger ships were all dispatched, but in order to ensure the number of troop transports, they even removed the guns on the warships! Anyway, China doesn't have a navy, they are not afraid.

In addition, many foreign passenger liners were leased to ensure that the soldiers of the First and Fifth Armies could arrive at the battlefield together, and all the supplies could keep up. No more mistakes made by the Second Army when it landed in Dalian.

This was not enough, the Fourth Army was also ready on the mainland, and it was only because there were not enough ships that it could not be delivered at one time. The Japanese even prepared for the Sixth Army, which had just been formed in Taiwan. Before the war, they thought that it would be enough to dispatch two armies of 200,000 people, but now the number of troops has actually reached 500,000! In order to coordinate and unify the operations of various armies, the Japanese Empire actually asked Marshal Oyama Iwa to personally come to China to direct the war.

Dashan Yan personally took command, which showed the determination of the Japanese army to fight against the odds, and also greatly boosted the morale of the front line. Little Japan really threw off its arms and fought naked beasts this time, and fought to the death, anyway, if the army loses, there will be no way out.

Nogi Noshinori knew that the marshal was now on the ship. What he has to do is to suck Yang Xiaolin's team to Xiuyan! When the beast found out that the Japanese had landed, he had no chance to escape.

Therefore, in the face of the attack of the volunteers, Nogi Noshinori did not care about any casualties, and let the Japanese troops launch a frenzied counterattack! No matter what position it is, as long as you lose it, you will get it back immediately!

This madness made the battle even more intense. Thousands of soldiers are killed and wounded on both sides every day, and almost every position changes hands repeatedly.

Yang Xiaolin really can't fight anymore!

"Nogi Noshinori is crazy! I'm sure he's crazy! ”

A battalion of the 8th Division rushed into the position of a wing of the opposing side, and the two sides fought fiercely, and the volunteers had not yet opened the gap. The Japanese actually began indiscriminate shelling! More than 2,000 Japanese troops, more than 1,000 volunteers! Commander Yang didn't know how many Japanese troops were left, but only thirty-eight people survived in one battalion of the Volunteers!

Two thousand people, and one thousand of himself, he fired cannons. Commander Yang is really sure that Nogi Noshinori is crazy!

Unbuttoned the discipline buckle on his military uniform, picked up the cold cold water on the table and drank most of it in one gulp: "Songpo, how is the retreat going?" We must go now! ”

Feng Delin said on the side: "I can't fight." In the past few days, we have killed more than 30,000 of them, and we have almost 20,000 brothers in ourselves, if we really break through the position, it will be worth it, but we don't occupy a position! ”

Cai Ye also felt a little wrong at this time: "Commander, if the war continues to be exchanged according to this ratio, we will be able to defeat Nogi Noshinori in less than three days." But we know this, and he can't be unaware! This is a bit unusual for the Japanese army to do, and there is definitely another plan. ”

Yang Xiaolin snorted: "No matter what his plans are, let's leave tomorrow!" The 10th Division was ordered to continue to attack the Japanese army, and the rest of the troops were ready to disperse and withdraw to Changbai Mountain according to the original route. After the first division was broken. ”

Yang Xiaolin is like a wolf! He really smelled danger! Even though it seemed that he had now had any hope of defeating Nogi, he did not hesitate to turn around and prepare to jump back into his wolf's den.

"Report to the Commander! The commander of the 1st Division, Sui Bing, reports to you that the 1st Division of the Japanese Army has just launched a counterattack on our position! ”

Commander Yang's face changed immediately, Cai Yi's eyes stared at him and he didn't speak, Nogi Xidian would suffer a loss when he defended the attack of the volunteers at this time, and now he still has the courage to fight? Even Feng Delin on the side saw that something was wrong: "Xiaolin, is Little Japan trying to hold us off?" ”

Yang Xiaolin's body turned sharply and crawled on the map, looked at it for a while and asked, "Is there any movement in North Korea?" ”

Cai Yi shook his head: "No, everything is normal in Dalian." It's not normal just because it's normal! Commander, what are we supposed to do? ”

Yang Xiaolin's eyes drifted on the map for a long time and he couldn't get a glimpse of it, and his brows tightened more and more: "Don't wait for tomorrow, let the troops withdraw now!" The 1st Division, the 5th Division, and the 10th Division are responsible for the broken rear! The rest of the troops immediately dispersed and retreated! ”

His fingers moved slowly, although he didn't know the Japanese jihua, but when his fingers swiped across the Liaoxi Peninsula. Paused in Liaoyang: "Can the Eleventh Division be contacted now?" ”

Cai said: "It has been dispersed, and only part of the troops can be contacted at present. ”

Yang Xiaolin's finger clicked on Liaoyang: "Send me a telegram to them, how many people count, occupy Liaoyang immediately!" ”

Cai Ye knew that Liaoyang was a gateway from Liaodong to Liaoxi, and in the case that Nogi Xidian had already occupied Fengcheng, Liaoyang was also the most convenient way for them to return to Liaodong. The 11th Division was almost entirely made up of recruits, but they were now the closest team to Liaoyang.

Cai Yi immediately began to send a telegram to contact the 11th Division, and soon received a call back from Zhao Wen, who was currently only able to contact 3,000 troops. It has begun to approach Liaoyang. Cai Ye was a little worried when he received the telegram: "Commander, three thousand people are too few, not to mention that their combat effectiveness is not good at all, can you let Deputy Commander Zhang's troops lean towards Liaoyang?" He's in Jinxi now, and he should be able to catch up. ”

Yang Xiaolin was still staring at the map, and after Cai Ye said that, he glanced at Jinxi, and then responded, "Hmm." ”

Cai Ye immediately asked the operator to send another telegram to Zhang Zuolin, and asked Zhang Lao Wu to come back. Although even Cai Ye felt a little sorry for Zhang Zuolin this time, there was really no way.

The operator's fingers tapped on the transmitter. Just knocked a few times, but Yang Xiaolin held it down and couldn't knock it anymore.

Cai Yi raised his head, Yang Xiaolin's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said one after another: "Jinxi....let Zhang Lao Wu ...... Don't come back. ”

Night. Cao Sanye also got into fire with the Russians.

This time, it was General Akberlir himself who led his troops to kill him. Although Wu Peifu tried his best to delay, the 200,000-strong army facing the Russians could not stop them.

After Akberil came to Cao Kun's position and took a look, his brow immediately furrowed! In his information, Cao Kun doesn't seem to have any military education and experience, but he knows it from the fact that he sees the general of the position. You may have met an opponent who is very good at fighting.

The Beiyang Army's position was built on several hills surrounding the Xiaoling River, and the hills here were not too high, because of this. They can effectively block the river. And on the relatively flat river beaches on both sides of the river, the Beiyang Army set up artillery positions!

There are many advantages to this, first of all, the surrounding hills themselves are the most protective of the artillery positions, and the Russian artillery must hit the parabola in order to attack the artillery of the Beiyang Army. In addition, their artillery fire can support any surrounding hill at any time, and there is no need for the people on the mountain to request artillery support.

In addition, all those large-caliber artillery fires were scattered by the Beiyang Army on the hillsides around this artillery position, and it was very difficult to destroy them one by one!

"Lieutenant General Gulegrevich, can you be sure that you're fighting a fish-belly army?"

Akberlir was somewhat suspicious of Guregrevich. The connoisseur knows the opponent's pounds as soon as he makes a move, and he can see from this position that the opponent is very good.

Gulegrevich's eyes were also looking ahead, and he shook his head in disbelief: "General, I swear to you that I didn't tell half a lie!" ”

Akberlir nodded, picked up the binoculars and looked at them for a while: "Okay, then set up our artillery too, let's start, I hope I can also see them scattering and fleeing." ”

First, the small forces were probed, but the Beiyang Army did not escape, and there was a fierce exchange of fire between the forward positions and the Russians. The Russian artillery began to bombard, and the soldiers of the Beiyang Army did not run, and their artillery did not hesitate to launch a return fire! took the initiative to hit Lao Maozi's artillery position.

The Russians also began to bombard Cao Kun's artillery, and the artillery battle began.

Shells from both sides staggered across the sky, landing on each other's positions, making a huge explosion and a burst of fireworks! The third master fought with the Russians according to the shells, and he now knew that these big guys couldn't take them away when they fled, so he fought desperately, as long as there was still a cannonball, he would also shoot shells at Lao Maozi, and would rather the artillery itself be blown up.

The night sky in Linghe Town tonight is unusually gorgeous!
