Chapter 52: The Situation Suddenly Changes

The clerk had just received a telegram that the Russian troops on the southern road were fighting earlier than here, and Colonel Toralev knew that he might be in trouble, but he always thought that the bandits in front of him could only bring him trouble, as long as he was willing to pay some casualties and spend a little more time, he should be able to break through the bandits' interception and reach the designated position according to the scheduled Jihua. But when his eighth charge was repulsed by the bandits, he suddenly realized that the trouble in front of him was not so simple, and perhaps, he would arrive at Fengtian City a little later, and then he sent a report to Stessel.

Yang Xiaolin's resistance is very sharp, and the role of the trench is not so valued by various countries, especially the kind of trench dug by Yang Xiaolin, the Russian army obviously lacks the means to deal with the trench, and has suffered more than 1,400 casualties, but it has not even touched the edge of the trench.

The trenches and those bunkers formed a complete defense system, and more than 30 meters in front of this defense system, there was actually a trench, not deep, only two feet, but very wide, about three meters.

Rushing through this not very deep ditch could lead to the bandits' trenches, but all eight of the Russians' charges stopped thirty meters away! Four or five hundred Russian soldiers lay in the trench, their bodies pierced by the sharp bamboo sticks and sticks, and some of the corpses' hands were still stiffly stretched upward, as if they wanted to grasp something before they died, or perhaps they wanted their comrades to pull them along.

Under the night, the outstretched arms gave people an incomparably terrifying feeling, Yang Xiaolin didn't even give the Russians a chance to collect the corpses, just now a group of Russian soldiers came with a white flag, and he killed them without hesitation.

He set another precedent, because in previous wars, it was not uncommon to kill the opponent's envoy to sacrifice the flag, and it was the same in both the East and the West, but there was no record of beating the opponent's corpse collection team. The Russians were very angry, but they did not send anyone to negotiate, they knew in their hearts that it would be useless to negotiate with people like Yang Dagui.

The Russians fired another round of artillery before dark, but this small and medium-caliber artillery did very little damage to the trenches unless the shells fell directly into the trenches. After a round of artillery fire, there was no Russian attack, Yang Xiaolin squatted in the trench and lit a cigarette, and handed Zhang Zuolin one: "Okay, you can have a meal, the Russians are not iron, they also have to eat." ”

Zhang Zuolin sat down beside him, he was very unconvinced that Yang Xiaolin had beaten the Russians before, but now he was convinced. If nothing else, just for Yang Xiaolin to spend more than ten hours digging this trench before the battle!

They hid inside and occupied an absolutely dominant position over the Russians, Zhang Zuolin had never fought such a happy battle today, and the Russians who rushed up were simply moving targets, they only needed to practice their guns.

"Mr. Zong, if you continue to fight like this, when Brother Feng comes, there will definitely be only half of these old hairy people left, and we will have no problem cleaning them up."

Yang Xiaolin spat out a puff of smoke: "It's not that simple, I estimate that Lao Maozi will come over at night to fill in the ditch when it gets dark, and they will be able to rush to us tomorrow, at least, the casualties of the brothers tomorrow will definitely be greater than today." ”

Attack and defense are like that, the closer the attacking side is, the greater the casualties on the defending side. Don't underestimate the ditch, its width of three meters has become an impassable obstacle for the Russians, and today the two most ferocious charges of the Russians only rushed in front of it and stopped.

However, as soon as it gets dark, the Russians will definitely be able to fill in the road, and although Yang Xiaolin is a little unwilling, there is no way to do it, the ditch is just a ditch. That is, he doesn't have so much wire, otherwise if he pulls a barbed wire fence out in front of the ditch, the Russians will definitely have to look at themselves from the other side for the past two days. …,

Yang Xiaolin turned his head to look at Zhang Zuolin: "Brother Zhang, let the brothers be clever tonight, especially the cover positions on both sides, there is no movement over there during the day, and Lao Maozi may touch that place at night." ”

Zhang Zuolin nodded: "Don't worry, if we are bandits, if we are touched by Lao Maozi, it will be a shame." ”

Yang Xiaolin spit out a smoke ring very leisurely, the white smoke ring was very obvious even in the dark night, Zhang Zuolin's eyes stared at the circle, and he tried to spit it out, but a piece of smoke came out.

Yang Xiaolin looked at Haha and smiled, and Zhang Zuolin smashed him with his arm: "How did you do it?" ”

Of course, Yang Xiaolin didn't have the time to teach him this, and said after pondering for a while: "Brother Zhang, Lao Maozi and the Japanese are about to go to war for a while, have you arranged it at home?" ”

Zhang Zuolin nodded: "Xiexie cares, I asked my father-in-law to take my family to Jinzhou a few days ago, where it should be safe for the time being." ”

"My eldest nephew should be able to walk, right?"

Zhang Zuolin's eldest son was the famous young marshal Zhang Xueliang, so Yang Xiaolin, the eldest nephew, shouted very affectionately. A rare smile appeared on Zhang Zuolin's face: "I just met, and I learned to call Dad!" ”

Yang Xiaolin Zhengse said: "Originally, I shouldn't have said you, but I can't help but want to say a few words, you said that my eldest nephew is so likable, you should also pay attention to it as a father, don't play with others, don't do limelight in the future." ”

This is somewhat caring, the gratitude in Zhang Zuolin's heart has just risen, and he is about to say a polite word, who knows that Yang Xiaolin continued: "I think it's better for the two of us to work together, do you think this is good, you come to me, I will get you the head of the Liaoxi Independent Regiment!" I will bear the things for you in the future, and I will go first to the dangerous things. ”

Zhang Zuolin's body jumped away from Yang Xiaolin's side with a snort, and his eyes glared at him: "Yang fights ghosts, don't think like this." I have two or three thousand brothers under me, and I know that I am a little worse than you, but don't beat me! I'm eating and drinking in this part of Liaoxi, you are making your revolution in your Changbai Mountain, I heard that you have been making a lot of trouble recently, I don't understand that thing, don't come to think about me. ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled and stopped talking. He was indeed thinking about Zhang Zuolin, because this was Yang Du's idea, and Yang Du said that the revolution needed Zhang Zuolin.

With the development of the base area, the work of Zou Rong and Chen Tianhua has been carried out more and more smoothly, although it seems that the two sides complement each other's advantages and cooperate happily, but what about the future? Zou Rong and Chen Tianhua will let themselves rebel one day, and Yang Xiaolin has already promised them that opposing them at that time may break the relationship between the two sides, which will not be good for everyone.

Moreover, Yang Du believes that the focus of development should not be pinned on those who have returned from overseas, and that a local shili in the northeast should be cultivated to achieve the goal of restraining these radical revolutionaries in some aspects. Then use the time to find an opportunity to divide the unity of Zou Rong and Chen Tianhua, so that as long as you have a gun in hand, you can ensure the maintenance of the whole situation.

In a way, this is a trick of conspiracy, whether it is Mr. Yang or Yang Pian Police, he doesn't understand, Yang Du, this kid is an expert in this regard. Yang Du originally wanted to form a local shili by himself, but he was also an outsider, and those old fortunes looked at him with similar eyes to Chen Tianhua.

So Yang Du set his eyes on Zhang Zuolin's body.

Yang Xiaolin agrees with this, first of all, he supports Yang Du, and he understands that any revolution must consider the actual situation on the ground, and these revolutionaries who have returned from overseas must seek a path with Shili in the Northeast that they all want to take, as long as the revolution is easy to succeed! …,

But Zhang Zuolin is obviously not willing to merge with Yang Xiaolin, he is also an ambitious person, although from the current situation, he is the slowest development, but Zhang Zuolin is also waiting for the opportunity brought to him by the Russo-Japanese War. Yang Xiaolin knew that unless he made Zhang Zuolin realize that he had no chance, the historical king of the Northeast would not give up.

At this time, Wang Jinhan ran over out of breath and squatted beside Zhang Zuolin: "Big brother, I'm a step too late, Zaitao has already taken people out of Fengtian!" ”

These words made Yang Xiaolin and Zhang Zuolin stand up at the same time, and Yang Xiaolin felt cold in his heart! Zhang Zuolin was speechless.

After a while, Yang Xiaolin asked, "How many defenders are there in Fengtian now?" ”

Wang Jinhan said: "Originally, there were still 10,000, but Zhao Erxun was afraid that Zaitao would have a bad pool, so he sent 5,000 people out, and only 5,000 people guarded Fengtian." ”

Yang Xiaolin was furious when he heard this, and punched the earthen wall: "Zhao Erxun doesn't know how to fight at all!" If Zaitao's 20,000 men are finished, what can he do if he sends another 5,000 people! ”

Zhang Zuolin said: "Zhao Erxun is very smart! What does it matter to him if Fengtian can defend it or not? But if Zaitao had an accident, he would be finished, so he would rather not be Fengtian, and would go all out to rescue Zaitao. General, why don't we withdraw to Fengtian now to defend the city? ”

The corners of Yang Xiaolin's mouth moved, this idea is really not good, he doesn't like to defend the city. After entering the city, if Lao Maozi knew about it, it would be strange if they didn't mobilize an army from Liaoyang to kill themselves.

He firmly believed that his pre-war tactics were not wrong, and only by fighting the Russians in a war of annihilation could Lao Maozi give up the idea of Mukden. But can the annihilation war on his side be faster than on the Russians' side? It is impossible for Zaitao to defeat the Russians, how long can he hold out?

Yang Xiaolin let out a sigh, shook his head and said, "No, you can't go back to the city." ”

That night, the Russians did launch a surprise attack, and four times in one night. Two were launched against the positions on both flanks, and the other two, as Yang Xiaolin estimated, were to fill in the trenches in front of the bandits.

The four raids caused more than 300 casualties to the Russians, but the ditch was filled out with two safe passages, Yang Xiaolin knew that the battle would be fierce tomorrow morning, but he believed that he could hold it, and the artillery positions behind him were about to be dug up, and more than 20 cannons had been pushed in, which would surprise the Russians.

But his heart was not as relaxed as it was today, because he was worried about Zaitao's side, really worried. (Ask for a recommendation ticket!) )
