Chapter 34 Support

Yang Rui soon saw the results of the artillery regiment's training, the artillery in the exercise were all fired according to the parameters of the front-line observation post, the artillery position at this time did not appear on the surface as abruptly as before, but all hidden in the bunker, and a lot of tree branches were added around the gun position as cover, and after various test firing, it was effective shooting, if South Africa's artillery instructor Schroeder was here, he would definitely be surprised by the innovation of the Revival Army in test firing technology and effective shooting.

After the concise test firing, it was fired according to the coordinated effectiveness, and the short and ferocious firepower first cleared the enemy's outposts and command posts; After the enemy artillery entered the position, it began to focus on suppressing the enemy artillery position, this round of attack was not as short as before, but as long as more than 30 minutes, the artillery fire was transferred to the front-line infantry, focusing on hitting all kinds of trenches, known fire points and clearing the road for the infantry to advance, after continuing to bombard the enemy infantry position, the artillery fire quickly transferred to the enemy artillery position, this time not to simply hit the enemy artillery, but to make the enemy infantry think that our army was about to attack, so that they could enter the position and prepare for battle, At the same time, in order to reduce casualties during the attack, it is necessary to clear the enemy artillery positions again.

After the staggered shelling of the enemy's artillery and infantry positions, the last thing is the barrage of fire. At this time, the barrage was divided into two lines, one was to protect the infantry from moving forward slowly, and the other was to prevent the enemy from reinforcing the first-line positions behind the enemy positions. In the distance, Yang Rui only saw his infantry following closely behind the barrage, rushing towards the enemy trench without hurrying, and he noticed that the infantry was extremely close to the barrage, about less than a hundred meters. When they easily rushed into the enemy trenches. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful, because he didn't see the effect of actual combat, but such a dense artillery bombardment could not send people to garrison the enemy's positions. After all, this is a drill, not a war.

The exercise ended after the artillery drill, and some outstanding soldiers were personally awarded medals by Yang Rui at the conference, after which, according to the arrangement of the political department, he had to give a lecture to the soldiers, and the draft was written by Fan An, which was to publicize the achievements of the Yanzhou base area and the Liaodong guerrillas in addition to some regular clichΓ©s. At the end of the lecture, Yang Rui analyzed the situation in Liaodong and asked the soldiers to be ready to resist the enemy. Hone your skills to wait for the final victory.

Yang Rui's speech ended, and then he withdrew to a round of applause, and his role now seems to have changed to that of the middle school principal when he was a student, when every school started. A few school leaders, who were either fat-headed, big-eared, or scrawny, had to hold thick pieces of letter paper and talk a lot of nonsense. After the conference. He summoned the commander of the unit for a small meeting, but by this time he was no longer as excited as before, but became calm.

"Yanzhou and Linxi are fighting, and there will be more fights in the next year, and the purpose of our side is not only to transfuse blood for Guannai, but also to wait for the revolution to seize the northeast and Mongolia. While blocking the retreat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it also made Japan and Russia unable to find a chance to attack the Manchus. Especially the Japanese, because of the Ume-Chang railway, we have offended them to death. At that time, no matter what they talk about diplomatically, they will make some moves in Liaodong. On our side, we must hinder the Japanese plot and prevent them from succeeding. Looking at the generals and colonels in the room, Yang Rui had already understood their anxiety during this time, and he also fought in Liaoxi in Guannei, but there was no movement in Liaodong, and the officers were very anxious, "There is no problem if you want to fight, but do you want to fight a civil war or a national war?" You can apply to Guannei to fight a civil war, and I will approve it, but you don't want to transfer it back when the national war is fought in Liaodong in the future. Yang Rui's words shocked everyone, his eyes swept over, and the officer who was seen immediately straightened up, looking straight ahead.

"In order to rob Liaodong, take in a Manchu puppet, and then set up a puppet Manchurian state in the northeast, these are all tricks of the Japanese in the future; On the Mongolian side, the Russians fooled a few Mongolian princes, taking advantage of the Great War in Guannai, flaunting independence, and building a Mongolian state, which is also a very simple matter. As soon as these two places go, then we will become the former Ming again, and even the former Ming is not as good. If this is the case, not to mention the military flag, not to say that it is not qualified to draw an eagle, or even to draw a dog. Dogs are housekeepers, and if Northeast Mongolia is lost, it is worse than dogs. The more ruthless Yang Rui said, the more upright the officers here sat upright, but he was not blindly suppressed, and immediately changed his tone and said: "However, watching this exercise, I am very satisfied, especially the tacit coordination of the infantry artillery makes me the most happy." The war in the future will no longer be a single-arm war, but a multi-arm war, and now it is still just infantry and artillery coordination, and in the future, there will be infantry coordination - have you seen those tractors that build railways? Once it is improved, the iron armor is installed, and the artillery is installed, that is, the ancient chariot soldiers, and they can advance to Beijing in one day, and then the coordination of the scooters is another problem; There are also the current airships and planes, when the time comes, the shells will not come from the opposite side, but fall from the top of the head, and how the infantry can coordinate with the sky is also a difficult problem. In short, technology exhibitions and tactics are also improving, and Tonghua, Shanghai, and various branches abroad will notice these changes, and then apply the latest technology to make the army more modern. ”

Yang Rui had to release some tactics from later generations, so that everyone could respect themselves and stabilize the morale of the army, but also establish his own authority, but he still felt that it was not enough, and then said: "If the Japanese are not honest, then we will not only drive them out of Liaodong, but also fight to Korea." Originally, it would have been better to hit Taiwan, but our navy was too weak, so we could only hit North Korea, and now that North Korea Gojong has abdicated, the army has been disbanded, and the annexation of North Korea is a matter of the past few years. When the time comes, when we go, it will naturally be a pot pulp to welcome the king. This is after the success of the revolution, but not many years, all of which will be the task of the Revival Council for the next ten years, and all you have to do is to be ready at all times! ”

"Yes. Handsome! The officers above the mountain barracks said yes in unison after Yang Rui finished speaking. That momentum made Yang Rui's whole body hot, and suddenly there was a kind of heroism that had disappeared from ashes. This kind of heroism did not disappear in his heart until he dismissed the meeting, and just when he was reminiscing about this feeling, Liu Boyuan invited him to come and report.

"Sir, the North Koreans who came last time are here again. Do you want to see it? As soon as Liu Boyuan came, he attracted Yang Rui's attention.

"Oh, why are they here? Have you changed your mind? Yang Rui was a little surprised, but he felt normal when he thought about it. North Korea now has no army, and in August, the disbanded royal guards in Pyongyang fought with the Japanese, and finally they were outnumbered and had to retreat to the countryside. This is Pyongyang, and there are countless anti-Japanese volunteers in other places, and the intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Agency in North Korea are very busy for a while, and there are too many people who want to take refuge in Pyongyang.

"Yes. This time it was not only Lee Huirong who came. And that Li Tang also came over. Liu Boyuan said.

"Oh. It's good to come. It's good to come. Yang Rui smiled, "I just want to see it." ”

Lee Sang-yeon, who goes by the pseudonym Li Tang, stayed in The Hague for a while and had a great impact. However, Russia and Japan have already signed an entente in St. Petersburg, and his value is gone. So, after the organizers of the conference sent a telegram to North Korea asking about the authenticity of the secret envoy, they were kicked out of the meeting hall - Japan had already seized the North Korean telegraph office by this time. The telegram in reply to The Hague only said that North Korea had never sent a secret envoy. Yang Rui was very surprised to see the Russians playing such a beautiful hand. In his impression, such delicate technical work has always been done by the British, and it is really unbelievable that polar bears have such a gentle side.

While lamenting the beauty of the Russians' play, while learning the essence of it, he also recalled the written and oral agreements with the Russians, even if according to history, Tsarist Russia did not live for ten years, but it is better to be careful. The most feared thing is that if Comrade Lenin did not fulfill his historical mission, Russia survived the First World War. That's hard to get. Thinking of this, Yang Rui issued a new order to the Military Intelligence Bureau to find a Russian revolutionary named Lenin.

Also in the last meeting, Yang Rui met with Lee Sang-yeon, the special envoy of North Korea's Gojong, but he has now been tried and hanged in absentia in North Korea, and he cannot return home. Li Xiangwei is in his thirties, with a short mustache and a thin white face, although his expression is sad, but his eyes are bright. In order not to attract attention, he bowed to Yang Rui in a robe, and said with grief: "Mr.'s previous teachings were confused by the Russians, and he didn't listen to them at all. ”

The Goryeo stick cried bitterly as he spoke, but the trip to The Hague made him see the face of foreigners thoroughly, and Yang Rui's sentence "Foreigners are reliable, sows will go up the tree" Although it is vulgar, it contains philosophy. In the whole world, the countries that have not become colonies, except for those small countries in Europe, that is, China, Thailand, Persia, Ethiopia, and North Korea, and now that Korea is annexed, it is only a matter of time before it is time for North Korea to be annexed. Without foreign help, he had to die as a horse doctor to see what good ways the Chinese had.

When a man cried to himself, Yang Rui was a little difficult to deal with, but fortunately, Li Xiangyu cried for a while and stopped his voice. "What does Mr. Li want to do now?" Yang Rui didn't comfort him, but directly wanted to know what he thought.

"I ......" Lee Sang-hyun looked at the silent Chinese in front of him, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but now that the situation in South Korea has become like this, he has no master.

"If we still ask for the support of the international community, then we have nothing to talk about. If you want to save North Korea on your own, then we can continue to talk. Yang Rui also saw that Li Xiangyu was at a loss, so his words were more tough, and it was not suitable to ask some open-ended questions at this time, so he only let him do multiple-choice questions.

"I am willing to rely on my own strength to save the motherland." Lee Sang-hyun repeated the correct answer, and at the same time, his confidence seemed to be a little stronger.

"If you want to rely on your own strength, you must first have a strong and powerful organization, and then build a strong and powerful army, of course, to build an army, then naturally you must have military schools and ammunition. All I can offer is to help Your Excellency set up a military academy and then provide some necessary guns and ammunition. However, before the success of the revolution in China, our cooperation could not be made public, and no one else could know about it except the people in the room, and besides, China and the DPRK have always been friendly, and in order to prevent future accounts from being unclear, it is best for you and us to make cash transactions, and if the money is not enough, you can owe it first, but the accounts must be repaid later. Yang Rui said this as he said this, and looked at Li Xiangyu, only to see his expression change from surprise to seriousness.

"That's... So why do you want to help us? The identity of this group of Chinese Li Xiangyu knows. Seeing that the other party would help him, he at first thought that the other party was hopelessly arrogant, and delusionally thought that in the future, he would gain benefits in Korea like Japan and Russia. However, when I heard Yang Rui ask for a cash transaction, I thought he wanted to make his own money, and finally heard that he could keep an account but must return it in the future, but he knew that he was wrong, and the other party really wanted to help him.

"Because Japan is the enemy of China and North Korea, and since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, you and China have lived in peace. Again. Yang Rui glanced at Liu Boyuan, saw him nod and said again: "We also have some small things that we want you to help with." ”

Liu Boyuan said here that he would go to the North Korean court to get some people and things out, and there was actually a dragon robe among them. This can't help but give Li Xiangyu a delusion that these Chinese want to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. At this time, seeing Yang Rui mention that matter, he said: "Although Xiang Yu can't go back to the Korean palace in person, there are still many acquaintances in the court. And... And His Majesty the King can still be contacted. It only takes three months to get things done. ”

With the support of Japan, Korea turned Korea into the Korean Empire, and the original king became the emperor. Yang Rui smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, the reason why we want these things is just to use the Ming Dynasty to stir people's hearts." ”

Seeing Yang Rui talking about these things with a smile. Li Xiangyu was suspicious of his trust, so he had to agree. Seeing this, Yang Rui said to Liu Boyuan: "You and Fifth Brother Shun have a good talk." With that, he withdrew.

In Yang Rui's plan. The Renaissance Society's assistance to Lee Sang-hyun is mainly text-based, and does not involve too many hardware facilities, which is to save money and to keep it secret. In the specific funding plan, helping it build a strong political party is the first priority, and if the shelf is not set up, nothing can be done; In order to obtain German intelligence in Qingdao, Britain still helped the Fuxing Society train a few people, which made the intelligence system finally have some appearance, Korea is the base for Japan's attack on China, and if you don't understand the situation of the whole Korea, it will be extremely inconvenient for the revolution and the war against Japan in the future; In the end, it is necessary to help them build up the army, only the military academy can control the army, but in order to control the DPRK in the future, the military school textbook will be castrated, and it will be enough to reach the level of Beiyang.

In addition to the software support, the hardware can just sell the previously captured batch of poor Japanese-style Murata rifles, which is the capture of the annihilation of the Japanese reserve brigade, although this gun is a continuous gun, but its tubular magazine structure is bulky, not pleasing to people, if the Koreans want, they can sell some, and there is a Japanese-style thirty-year rifle, commonly known as the Golden Hook rifle, you can also sell some - because the Japanese armament was tight during the Russo-Japanese War, there was not enough walnut at that time, and the beech was used to make the butt, which was easy to deform, The rifle had to be calibrated every few days, which was a cumbersome use and was not as good as selling it to North Korea. In addition to rifles, standard grenades, even those containing black powder, cannot be sold, but can only sell explosives produced by explosives factories and corresponding letter tubes.

Liu Boyuan and Li Xiangyu talked for three hours before they finished. Of course, these are some issues of principle, and the specific content will still need to be discussed, the most important of which is to build a leadership team of North Koreans, which can only be determined after meeting. However, in order not to expose Tonghua, future meetings will be in Longjing or Vladivostok.

After politely sending Li Xiangyu away, Liu Boyuan reported the specific situation to Yang Rui: "He has no objection to our arrangement, and the intelligence network has also agreed that we will help him establish it, but he thinks that he still wants to keep their emperor." ”

"When is it, still thinking about the emperor." Yang Rui shook his head, only feeling that he was still a little stupid and loyal to this Li Xiangyu. "Have you talked about the problem of Majima?"

"Talked. He agreed with this, believing that it was a conspiracy concocted by Japan. In addition to the intention of encroaching on Chinese territory, it is to prevent them from settling in Longjing. Liu Boyuan said. After the incident in The Hague, the black dragon will keep an eye on him very closely. ”

"Oh. After that, we will not be able to contact China from now on. "The Black Dragon Society's intelligence network is also extensive, and Yang Rui's biggest worry is that he will be detected by the Black Dragon Society before the revolution succeeds.

"Yes. I also made adjustments, and they went to the Vladivostok area to find a place, and the military academy was located there. That is, how will the arms be handed over in the future? When Liu Boyuan thought of supporting the Xinmin Association, he also thought of the Korean volunteers under his command, now the number of volunteers is not large, and the battle is not fierce, if the team is larger and there are more battles in the future, then there will naturally be more supplies, and it is still very difficult not to expose yourself.

"If it's really hard to resupply, use an airship. Anyway, it's only 100 kilometers away from North Korea, and you can go back and forth in one night. Yang Rui said.

"But ......" Liu Boyuan wanted to say that this would leak the secret, but suddenly thought that he could not hand it over directly to the North Koreans, "Then we will send someone over to find a point, and we will also send someone to light a fire on the ground for guidance." ”

"There is no need for guidance. At the end of the year, the real room can take out the radio compass. When the time comes, just light the fire at the destination. "The navigation of the airship is an urgent priority, and the Shanghai side is very fast, and now the prototype is out, and it will be ready for use soon after testing.

Seeing that Yang Rui had all been arranged, Liu Boyuan was relieved. With Mr. here, anything can be solved. When he was thinking about it, Yang Rui said again: "This matter of supporting the North Koreans should be classified as a fourth-level secret." Especially for those who have been transferred from the League, it is necessary to keep it secret. ”

"Understood. Mr! Liu Boyuan said. In fact, there is no need for Yang Rui's instructions, and he will not spread this matter to Shanghai.

After Yang Rui finished speaking, he asked again, "How is the situation in the army?" ”

"It's going well." Liu Boyuan looked at Yang Rui's expression, and said with some puzzlement, he would have an epiphany after a while, and hurriedly said: "Among the officers in the first phase, there is basically no change, only Qingyuan's side ......"

"Well, say. What's wrong with him? Yang Rui said.

He believes that there should be no committee in the meeting, it should be like in the army, a commander, then a staff officer, and officers at all levels. In this way, the whole revival will be able to fight. "Fan An is presiding over the purge, but the person next to him is Liu Boyuan, who is bright and dark, observing the reactions of all the officers.

"Qingyuan ......" Qi Qingyuan is a very smart person, and Yang Rui also has a good impression of him, but Leo doesn't like him. He seemed a little disappointed when he appointed Lei Yizhen as the first person in charge when he left the Northeast the year before. Among the outstanding graduates in the first phase, he and Lei Yizhen are on par, but the latter one went to Liaoxi and the other was in Liaodong, and there began to be a difference, because the Russian independent army had a strong lineup, and many backbones of the first brigade were transferred to the second brigade, which was also the reason why the second brigade pressed the first brigade in the future. Yang Rui was thinking about expanding the army at that time, but he didn't think about Qi Qingyuan's feelings, and now that he thinks about it, this is a little unfair to Qi Qingyuan personally. Most of Lei Yizhen's credits were not earned by himself alone, but Qi Qingyuan's side was killed by himself, and he almost died for this.

Yang Rui thought about the past, forgot what he just said for a while, and only said: "It seems that I still have to talk to Qingyuan for a good time." ”

Liu Boyuan had already shown a certain tendency of Qi Qingyuan, but as a classmate, he didn't have the prestige to chat with Qi Qingyuan, and now Yang Rui saw Qi Qingyuan's problem, which was a good thing. In his opinion, Qi Qingyuan knew the true meaning of Yang Rui's purge, but unlike other classmates, not only did he not pretend to be silent, but welcomed the purge vigorously, which was problematic.

"Sir, do you want me to call him in the evening?" Liu Boyuan said.

"No, I'll go to him myself." Yang Rui said. After saying that, he turned the horse around and went to Qi Qingyuan's headquarters.

At this time, Qi Qingyuan, who was reorganizing the troops and preparing to return to the garrison tomorrow, did not know that Yang Rui would come, and suddenly saw the horse team in the distance, he was a little surprised, and only after Yang Rui got off the horse did he come forward to salute and say hello.

"What? I'm not welcome to come? Yang Rui looked at him and asked with a smile.

"Nope! No! Qi Qingyuan said busily.

"Then go and ask your lieutenant to prepare dinner, and we'll talk while we eat." Yang Rui still smiled, and accompanied him into the military tent. (To be continued......)
