Chapter 70: The Waltz of Death

September 16, 1903, Beryozovka.

The morning fog had not cleared for a long time, the razed villages were in a haze, the broken and charred trees were hidden from time to time, and the surrounding trenches were covered with craters with a thick whiteness, and no human figures could be seen or heard, but from time to time a few ominous crows could be heard from afar.

Captain Tie Qun, the commander of the 7th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Chinese Army, wrote in his diary that day: "In the morning, the fog, the battlefield is dead and silent, like a ghost ......."

The fog is gradually incinerated by the sun.

There was a heart-wrenching sound in the air, and in the blink of an eye, the Chinese army's trenches were surrounded by clusters of ugly flowers mixed with fire, smoke, and dirt.

At 7:30, the artillery group of the 3rd Russian Siberian Division began to prepare for artillery fire on the positions of the 1st Janissary Brigade of the Chinese Army, and the artillery put into the bombardment included 16 152-mm heavy field guns with a range of 8.5 km, 16 87-mm light field guns with a range of 6 km, and 35 76-mm rapid-fire field guns (the 24 76-mm guns previously deployed in Beryozovka were available after the 15-day battle, and the remaining 11 were formed into two companies to join the artillery group), a total of 67 cannons, divided into 9 companies, Five of these companies were used to support the offensive against the frontal positions of the Chinese army, and four companies were used to support the offensive on the right side of the Chinese army.

The artillery group of the 1st Janissary Brigade of the Chinese Army has 18 105-mm cannons with a range of 13 km, 18 90-mm light howitzers with a range of 10.5 km, 18 75-mm mountain guns and 9 100-mm mortars, a total of 63 guns, divided into 6 standard artillery batteries with 6 guns and 3 mixed artillery battalions with 9 guns each.

According to the instructions of the brigade commander, Colonel Xu Soul, when the enemy launched artillery preparations, the 36 long-range 105 and 90-mm cannons in the artillery group launched suppressive fire at the enemy artillery positions under the instructions of the reconnaissance balloons, and the mountain artillery and mortars stood by in the concealed positions, waiting for the enemy infantry to launch an attack before launching a strike.

Less than 20 minutes after the Russian artillery opened fire, the Chinese artillery also opened its mouth, and the first batch of shells accurately hit the Russian artillery position, destroying at least one enemy artillery, but because the enemy learned the lessons of yesterday's battle, more solid slope protection fortifications were built around the artillery, and camouflage such as branches and blades of grass were also set up around and above the artillery position, which effectively weakened the suppressive firing effect of the Chinese artillery and reduced losses.

At about 9 o'clock, the Russian infantry crawled out of the trenches of the starting position of the attack and began to advance towards the positions of the Chinese troops.

Major General Selenov, commander of the Russian 3rd Division, instructed the 11th Regiment of the division to launch an attack from west to east on the line from Heights 205 to Heights 193 on the right side of the Chinese army's position, to drive the enemy out of their positions, and to advance in depth to the Chinese army as appropriate after completing the predetermined objectives.

The 12th Regiment of the division, in conjunction with the remnants of the 9th and 10th Regiments, which had been heavily damaged, launched an attack on the frontal positions of the Chinese troops from the north to the south, making sure to achieve a breakthrough and drive the Chinese troops out of their positions.

In accordance with the orders of the division commander, the Russian infantry and artillery units began to attack in accordance with the operational order.

The Russian army's operational doctrine requires that the main forces of the troops should be deployed in battle formation under the cover of the avant-garde, attack from the effective range of rifle fire, concentrate the basic forces in the direction of the assault, concentrate the general reserve on the selected area before the attack, and mobilize as many artillery as possible to fire at the attacking target. The procedure of attack operations is divided into several stages: approaching, attacking, and pursuing. The offensive was carried out under the cover of the avant-garde, which had to seize advantageous positions that would allow the main forces to spread out into battle formation and for further action. The commander must propose the task to his troops and detachments before the main force is deployed. The artillery of the main forces drove to the advance guard without waiting for the infantry to deploy, in order to quickly achieve an overwhelming superiority over the enemy in terms of "artillery fire." ”

In the battle that day, the Russian army did not strictly follow the order, or rather, the Russian commander was not stupid enough to push the artillery to the front of the position to be beaten into a pile of scrap metal by the Chinese army's long-range artillery fire, the artillery was protected by strong fortifications, and was also equipped with camouflage, shooting from several kilometers away - but because the Russian army did not have sophisticated sighting and artillery firing equipment, the consequence of this was that the effectiveness of artillery support was greatly reduced, and it was impossible to cause serious damage to the positions of the Chinese army, nor could it carry out suppressive fire on the Chinese artillery.

The Russian military doctrine also stipulates that in order to attack, the army is to be deployed into battle formation. The battle formation includes the battle lot and the reserve. Each combat sector itself is divided into smaller combat sections, each with its own reserves and support teams (the division combat section is composed of the brigade combat area, the brigade combat section is composed of the regimental combat area, and so on). The length of the combat area of the Russian army is: about half a kilometer for battalions, one kilometer for regiments, two kilometers for brigades, three kilometers for divisions, and five to six kilometers for corps. The frontal width of the company's attack was two hundred and fifty to three hundred paces. The reserves are usually deployed behind the center of their own forces or on exposed flanks, and according to the Russian military regulations, the general reserve is used to assist the troops in the combat sector where the main assault battle is carried out, and the reserves at all levels other than the general reserve are used to strengthen the troops fighting in the combat sector. The reserves should be so close to the battle line that they should not suffer unnecessary casualties from enemy fire, and at the same time be able to quickly engage in battle.

At this time, in front of the starting position of the Russian army, which was 1,500 yards away from the frontal position of the Chinese army, a large number of Russian troops lined up in battle formation and began to advance towards the position of the Chinese army.

For the frontal positions of the Chinese army, the main direction of attack of the Russian army is on the right flank (eastern sector), which is divided into the 12th regiment of the Russian army, which is intended to be launched and attacked from a frontage of 1 km.

In accordance with the principle of echelon allocation of troops, the 12th Regiment of the Russian Army sent two battalions to the battle line to occupy the battle area, and the remaining two battalions formed a reserve to conceal themselves in the formation of the reserve column to avoid being fired by the enemy. At the battalion level, two companies were sent to the battle line, leaving two companies as reserves. Each company sends two or three platoons to form a skirmish line, while the remaining platoons form a support team for the company straggler line. Each platoon spreads its squad into a skirmish. According to this arrangement of the battle formation, the 12th Regiment directly participated in the battle on the front line, accounting for less than one-third of the entire force, and the remaining two-thirds of the troops were used as reserves for the higher-level units, and in fact did not participate in the battle on the front line. Company reserves (support teams) and battalion and regimental reserves will be used primarily to replenish casualties and strengthen the firepower of the skirmishers. At the moment of the charge, the company's support team will join the skirmish line to increase its assault power. The Russian front-line infantry advanced in a relatively dense skirmisher line, with an interval of one to three paces between the fighters, and behind the skirmish line were support and reserve units arranged in columns.

In order to deal with the middle and left flank (western sector) of the Chinese frontal position, the Russian army sent two battalions each of the 9th and 10th regiments, these four battalions were less damaged in yesterday's fierce battle, and half of the combat soldiers were still used, which were used to contain the Chinese army's firepower and cover the flank of the main attacking force.

The Chinese army defended the frontal position with the 2nd Janissaries Regiment, reinforced with machine gun and mortar detachments drawn from the 1st Janissaries Regiment, equipped with 12 heavy machine guns, 34 light machine guns, 32 60-mm mortars, 10 80-mm mortars, and 12 75-mm mountain guns and 6 100-mm mortars providing medium-range artillery support for the frontal positions.

For the position on the eastern side of the Chinese army, the main direction of attack of the Russian army is in the area of the 205 heights on the left flank (northern section), for this reason, the 11th regiment of the Russian army sent three battalions: two battalions in the front, and one battalion as a reserve. The fourth battalion launched a diversionary attack from the area around Heights 193 in the middle of the Chinese position.

The Chinese army defended the eastern position by the 3rd Janissaries Regiment, equipped with 6 heavy machine guns, 26 light machine guns, 26 60-mm mortars, 6 80-mm mortars, and 6 75-mm mountain guns and 3 100-mm mortars providing medium-range artillery support for the eastern positions.

However, as soon as the Russian infantry climbed out of the trench, the 75-mm mountain artillery and 100-mm mortars deployed by the Chinese army on the concealed positions immediately launched a fierce bombardment, and the 80-mm mortars and 60-mm mortars deployed not far behind the front-line positions also opened fire one after another, and the shells fell in clusters among the Russian soldiers who were unfolding the formation, the red light was shining, and shrapnel flew horizontally.

The Russian army did not flinch, and amid the officers' orders and the loud trumpeters of the trumpeters, the Russian front-line troops quickly expanded into a scattered line, and steadily advanced towards the Chinese positions.

At a distance of about 1,02 yards, the Russian army began to be fiercely strafed by the heavy machine guns of the Chinese army, but because the Russian artillery was still concentrated on bombarding the front-line positions of the Chinese army, many of the heavy machine gun firing positions of the Chinese army were hit by shells soon after firing, and the density of fire weakened.

The Russian skirmish line continued to advance, and at a distance of about 1,000 yards, the snipers of the Chinese army began to frantically snipe Russian officers, and almost within a minute or two, the company commanders of the first line companies of the 12th regiment of the Russian army were killed.

The Russian army braved the looting of the bullets and shells of the Chinese army, and the front-line troops approached about 800 yards in front of the Chinese army's position, and began to move forward in a leaping manner, each platoon, squad, group and individual soldier ran forward for 50 to 100 yards at a time, and then stopped in a concealed area to fire at the Chinese position, and then carried out the next section of the charge.

The intensive rifle machine gun and mortar fire of the Chinese army caused huge losses to the Russian troops in the impact, and the Russian soldiers on the front line fell one after another in the rain of bullets, but the support teams of each company and the reserves of the battalions quickly followed up and replenished, and from the perspective of the attacking side, it seemed that the troops on the front line of the Russian army could not be killed.

At the same time, under the fierce bombardment of the Russian heavy artillery, the Chinese army had lost a lot of troops and weapons in the improvised trenches, and many officers and men withdrew into the anti-artillery holes in order to avoid artillery fire, so they could not give full play to their superior firepower to attack the Russian infantry, so that the Russian infantry was able to gradually approach, and seeing that it had rushed to a distance of 150 yards, the Russian soldiers in the front stopped and shot once after the most rear, and then began to run and charge, and rushed straight to the Chinese position.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Second Regiment rushed out of the anti-artillery holes, and fired at the swarming enemy troops with machine guns and rifles, dozens of machine guns fired together, and the bullets flew densely, and the Russian soldiers at a distance of one or two hundred meters fell one by one, which was very eye-catching, and the Russian soldiers who were not dead behind them hurriedly went to the crater to lie down and hide, but they were also pressed by the intertwined machine gun fire and could not raise their heads.

Xu Soul, the commander of the First Forbidden Brigade, could see clearly on the high ground behind the frontal position, and secretly shouted that the Second Forbidden Regiment was fighting well, but he still had a worried expression on his face.

"For the time being, it has been withstood like this, but if the heavy artillery of the Russian army cannot be suppressed, our army will be constantly weakened, and the enemy will have a chance to break through the position...... Damn the Air Force, why didn't you come to help! ”

Wen Yu, the brigade commander's staff officer next to him, patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the blue-gray sky in the south: "Those guys, they just arrived, they overslept." ”

Xu Soul hurriedly raised the telescope hanging on his chest and looked at the place where Wen Yu was pointing, and sure enough, he saw a group of planes slowly approaching, looking the same ugly, and each plane had a swarthy bird egg (bomb) hanging under its belly.

"Grandma, a bear, a bunch of ugly birds, it's only here now, why don't you do it quickly, and get rid of the cannon over there...... Quick, send an order to the artillery group, stop firing at the Russian artillery positions and fire at the Russian infantry in front of the positions instead! ”

The group of planes Xu Soul saw were the nine FJQH-1 "Qingfeng" light bombers of the 2nd Aviation Reconnaissance and Bombing Group of the Floating Air Group directly under the Janissary Field Army.

As usual, the Qingfeng squadron first flew over the enemy's position, then turned half a circle, dived at a low angle, dropped bombs, and then pulled up.

Since the beginning of the war, the two have cooperated in operating the No. 401 aircraft to sail more than 10 times, dropping more than two tons of bombs, confirming that they have blown up 5 artillery pieces and destroyed many houses, and also attacked several cavalry units of the enemy with small bombs and machine guns.

At this time, on the No. 401 plane, Major Zhang Dong, who was standing in the back seat in order to see the ground more clearly, had already noticed a Russian heavy artillery on the ground that had been camouflaged by artillery fire, he bent down, leaned in front of the wire microphone, and reported to Huang Yan in the front seat the approximate data needed to fly to the cannon - the height at which it should fall, the direction and angle it should turn, etc., Huang Yan moved the control stick lightly, pushed the rudder slightly his feet, the fuselage tilted to one side, and the plane began to turn.

"That's enough, that's the angle, now press the nose down a few degrees, do you see, behind the pile of ruins, that's the one, go there......"

No. 401 began to dive at a small angle, the ground rushed head-on, the altitude was getting lower and lower, the target was getting closer and closer, and the wind in the ears of the two was getting stronger and stronger, and the cannon was about to collide with the plane......

Huang Yan pulled the control stick violently, the Beiyang Heavy Industry HK-8D engine spewed out a thick black smoke, pulling the plane to raise his head, and at this moment, Zhang Dong pulled the bomb stick, and two 50 kg bombs fell out from under the wings on both sides at the same time, and fell on the side of the gun position of the 152 mm heavy field howitzer.

The Russian gunners, who were frightened by the swooping 401 and crawled on the ground, heard the sound of the plane's engine in the distance, and were getting up in twos and threes to continue operating the gun, but noticed that there were two more cylindrical objects with a different shape from the 152 mm grenade around them, this strange object was round in the front, four steel plates in the rear, and a small propeller at the top of the conical tail was still hissing and turning.

With a click, the propeller stopped, and the gunners were changing their surprised expressions to puzzled faces when a flash of light flashed by, and their flesh was instantly broken, torn, and shattered, and another flash of light followed caused a massive explosion that shook the entire position - a pile of dispensing 152mm ammunition piled up next to the cannon was detonated.

"One heavy artillery, all destroyed ......"

On Plane 401, Major Zhang Dong quickly recorded in his notes with a pencil, and then stood up with the rear edge of the upper wing in front of him and began to search for new prey.

Later, a group of FJZ-4 "Huofeng" two-seater reconnaissance planes arrived on the battlefield, these planes are not as capable of loading large bombs as Qingfeng, but the grenade racks and a light machine gun placed around their backseats can still cause a lot of damage to the Russian infantry exposed on open ground.

A small number of annoyed Russian infantry bravely stood up and shot at the Chinese planes with their rifles, but their exposed figures were the target of the Chinese army's machine guns and mortars, and after a burst of fire, most of these brave soldiers were beaten into a sieve or simply left with no bones.

Soon, the Qingfeng group dropped its bombs one after another, and formed a long snake formation over the Chinese army's position and headed south.

However, the bad luck of the Russian artillery did not end there, in the south sky, 4 gray-white shuttles are slowly approaching the Russian position, the 10th Floating Reconnaissance School Brigade 4 FTZ-2 "Shengyun" reconnaissance airships appeared, these big guys walk unhurriedly, quite a general's demeanor, the smooth skin is painted with exquisite golden dragon patterns, the fusiform hull is smooth and graceful, compared to those ugly birds with wire pipe racks, of course, much more noble.

The Russian gunners watched the four big monsters rub against their heads in a big way, and with the experience of being bombed by the Qingfeng machine, many gunners invariably put down their work and fled in all directions, leaving the Chinese army's Shengyun airship to move around leisurely above the position, laying eggs and strafing non-stop (each airship was temporarily equipped with two heavy machine guns).

Taking advantage of the fact that the Russian artillery was dumbfounded by the air force, Brigade Commander Xu Soul ordered the 1st Forbidden Regiment, which was the reserve of the brigade, to launch a counterattack against the Russian army in front of the frontal position with two battalions and the battalions of the 2nd Forbidden Regiment to defend the position, annihilating or expelling it.

The 1st Forbidden Regiment immediately sent all the forces of the 1st and 2nd Battalions to counterattack the Russian attacking troops who were trapped in front of the position and unable to move by the powerful three-dimensional firepower. The 2nd Battalion was responsible for the right flank of the position (eastern sector), and the 1st Battalion was responsible for the middle and left flank of the position (western sector).

As several red flares rose from behind the position, the counteroffensive began, and the two battalions of the 2nd Janissary Regiment on the front line each stayed in the position with one company, and three companies rushed out of the position to attack the Russian troops in front of the position with rifle fire and bayonets, and the two battalions of the 1st Janissary Regiment followed closely behind to expand the results.

At the beginning, the Russian army was still able to resist stubbornly and organized reserves to attack the Chinese army, but the Russian army units had just been hit hard by the powerful firepower of the Chinese army on open land, and at this time they were unable to resist the counterattack of the Chinese army's fresh troops, and the companies broke up one after another, and the Russian colonel Plasinov, who personally led the 12th regiment reserve to launch an attack, was shot between his eyebrows and died immediately, and the Russian brigade commander Major General Vititeyev, who was pressing behind the attacking troops, was also injured by the shells.

"Kill!"

The Xue Liang bayonet of the Praetorian infantry was against the ass of the Russian soldiers, chasing and killing all the way, the deputy squad leader of the 7th company and 1st squad of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment, Private Wu Jun assassinated at least six enemy soldiers in this battle, including an enemy battalion commander, and he was unscathed, but he was still haunted after the battle: "It's a pity, let's only chase down such a small section, otherwise we will definitely be able to make up for twenty, cough, assassinate nineteen in seven days, it's not bad......"

After the Chinese army chased out five hundred yards behind the Russian army, it returned to the position in accordance with the previous instructions of the brigade headquarters, and the soldiers also complained about it, and the brigade commander Xu Soul explained it like this: "There are still troops left behind in the enemy's position, and there are still two cavalry regiments that have not been used at all, in order to prevent the enemy cavalry from launching a surprise attack on our army in pursuit, causing unnecessary losses, and the artillery ammunition is exhausted, so the troops are ordered to only pursue five hundred yards, even so, the Russian army has received an extremely heavy blow, It is believed that they are no longer able to launch further offensives......"

The 105-mm and 90-mm guns of the Chinese army fired an average of 350 shells per cannon that day, and the Chinese gunners of the fighting army constantly sprinkled water on the surface of the barrel to cool down in order to prevent the barrel from overheating. After the battle, an average of 105 rounds remained for each 105-mm gun and 90 rounds for each 9-mm gun.

In terms of the position on the east side of the 1st Janissary Brigade, the 11th Regiment of the Russian Army also ended in complete failure in the attack on the position of the 3rd Regiment of the Chinese Army, the 11th Regiment concentrated three battalions to storm the 205 heights defended by the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Janissary Regiment of the Chinese Army.

At about 17 o'clock, the battlefield returned to a deathly silence, and there were no more light planes and huge airships in the sky, only a few flocks of low-flying crows shuttling to and froβ€”the dead bodies all over the ground were their delicacy, but the humans with white flags and stretchers were in a hurry to get rid of the delicious food, and the crows screamed in anger, and the silence was broken, and the smell of death became even stronger.

The battle of Beryozovka became a nightmare for the Russians, and twenty years later, Vladimir Gorzak, who participated in this battle and was a lieutenant of the 9th Regiment of the Russian Army, described the cruelty of this battle in detail in his novel "Waltz of Death", because the text is too cruel and perverted, I am afraid that it will disgust you (especially the cute MMs), I will not transcribe it, and those who want to read this book can go to the library to find it by themselves (if you can't find it, don't throw bricks at me, not all libraries can find it- Especially these garbage libraries on the planet that are so shabby that I feel ashamed to look at them).

According to Russian historical records, in the battle on September 16, the casualties of the 3rd Siberian Infantry Division reached 4,134 (including officers and soldiers who participated in the battle as lightly wounded and were wounded again), of which 2,921 were killed and 267 were seriously wounded. 19 guns were destroyed in the artillery unit of the 3rd Infantry Division.

According to historical records of the Chinese army, a total of 1,002 Russian soldiers were captured in the battle on September 16, most of whom were seriously wounded.

The total number of casualties of the 1st Janissary Brigade in that day's battle was 913 (including officers and soldiers who participated in the battle as lightly wounded and were wounded again), of which 217 were killed and 191 were seriously wounded.

From this day on, both in Beryozov and in Moscow Vitino, the Russian army was forced to stop the offensive and go on the defensive.

After this day's fighting, Belyozov's 3rd Siberian Division of the Russian Army had only 7,700 able-bodied officers and men left, completely lost its attack power, and could only barely maintain its current position with two cavalry regiments.

The 1st Janissary Brigade of the Chinese Army, south of Beryozovka, had about 6,000 able-bodied officers and men left, and together with the 1st Janissaries Hussar Regiment, maintained its current position and at the same time made intense preparations for the attack, according to the requirements of the field army command, the 1st Janissary Brigade should launch another attack on Beryozovka by September 20, and be sure to expel the enemy there and occupy the area.

The 3rd Siberian Division of the Russian Army in Moscow Vitino launched another attack on the flank of the Chinese position on September 16, and was repelled by the 4th Brigade of the Chinese Army with a strong counterattack, with heavy casualties, and there were less than 9,000 able-bodied officers and soldiers left, while the 4th Brigade of the Chinese Army in the south of Moscow Vitino still had 7,300 able-bodied officers and soldiers, but the Russian army still had the support of 2,000 cavalry, and the Fourth Guard Brigade had only a battalion of about 500 cavalrymen of the divisional cavalry regiment responsible for guarding the two flanks of the main position.

The 4th Janissary Brigade received an order to hold its position and wait for reinforcements.

On September 17, the 2nd Janissary Brigade of the Chinese Army advanced to the railway bridge over the Jieya River 7 kilometers northeast of Hailanpao, and repelled the 21st Regiment of the 11th Brigade of the Russian Army stationed nearby in the rear Baikal Cossack, and the Russian army blew up the railway bridge in the retreat. and the 11th Trans-Baikal Cossack Brigade of Major General Migach, which by the 18th had about 42,000 able-bodied officers and men, and a total of 5,600 officers and men of the 1st Russian Army had been killed and wounded in the previous days' battles.

On September 18, in the headquarters of the Janissary Field Army in Weiyuan City, General Liang Tianhe, the commander of the Field Army, began to worry about the next battle.

"Zhong Xiahuo, that kid, actually wants us to take down Hailan Bubble before the end of the month, it's too difficult."

Liang Tianhe complained against a large pile of maps, his fist slamming into the innocent table.

Lieutenant General Zhang Yiye, chief of staff of the field operations, took two cups of tea from the hands of the orderlies, put one cup in Liang Tianhe's hand, and said slowly: "Don't worry, there are nearly two weeks, the perimeter is almost cleared, the enemy's second army is blocked in Beryozovka and Moscow Vitino, we can now prepare for the siege operation with peace of mind, as long as the arrangements are appropriate, it is not impossible to complete the task on schedule." ”

Liang Tianhe shook his head and nodded to a reconnaissance map of Hailan Pao Fortress on the table: "You have also seen that this fortress is very strong, and it takes a long time of artillery bombardment and bombardment to effectively damage it, and the first army defending the city has not been fatally hit in the field, and its strength is relatively complete, if we want to forcibly seize the fortress from the first army, it is likely to pay a heavy price......

"As long as the task is completed, why care about the cost? Besides, if the task is not difficult, how can it be the turn of the Praetorian Guard? ”

"Saying that, I'm afraid that if the loss is too heavy, I will also be blamed by our boss."

"Wu Weigong's words, after seeing the result of the victory, he will also understand our hardships at the same time, and he wants to take the fortress as soon as possible, but he is afraid of paying too many sacrifices, this is simply embarrassing, anyway, Commander Zhong did not particularly emphasize the need to pay attention to reducing losses, so he just fought hard - if you don't do this, you really can't think of any good way."

Liang Tianhe swallowed a whole cup of tea, exhaled deeply, propped up the table and said: "There's no way, let's go hard, if you fight, you have to die, in front of this kind of strong fortress, if you want to take it in a short time, you will have to die, and if your superiors ask for it, we have to do it." Die, die, it's really not good, I also carry a machine gun and rush up, whether it's a number, or send it to death, it's enough to kill one, and it's a ...... to earn money by killing two."

Zhang Yiye shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "You have all gone up, it seems that the Praetorian Guards are almost all wiped out, if you get the Praetorian Guards to that point, when the time comes, be careful that Wuwei Gong will start a fire, and you may not be able to destroy your whole family." ”

"Ha, in this way, when Ding Jieyun's gang was destroyed, it didn't seem that their family members were implicated, so I ...... when it was my turn."

Zhang Yiye put his fingers in front of his mouth and sighed, waved his hand, and motioned for Liang Tianhe to lean his ears over.

"How do you know that Ding Jieyun's family has not been destroyed? My wife used to be very close to Du Zhuolin's wife, but after the purge ten years ago, she has not heard from Mrs. Du again...... I heard from someone in the intelligence department that the family members of those who rebelled against the party, from the lady and the young master to the miscellaneous servants who swept the floor, have all disappeared since the day of the mutiny in Beijing......

"Won't you...... Such a serious ......"

Zhang Yiye looked left and right, saw that there were no outsiders, and lowered his voice again: "Don't look at Wuwei when he is fair, he smiles at us, and he is very gracious, but if you want to destroy you, it is really to cut the grass and hoe the roots, and you can't leave half a trace of compassion, otherwise, how can you be qualified to be our boss?" The boss is not ruthless enough, and he has been killed by the younger brother 10,000 times. ”

"That's what I said-cough, what a boss, it's just a joke, it's really the underworld......"

"Don't figure it out, that's the fact, in my opinion, Duke Wu Wei has to be the uncrowned emperor of this empire, otherwise, maybe Zhang Jieyun and Li Jieyun and the like will come out again, dance around, and mess up this empire, and we don't have good fruit to eat - I still want to eat a large amount of pension and retire comfortably."

"Yes, the empire is in chaos, and we people will inevitably be involved, and the ups and downs of life and death are all uncertain things, so it is better to be happy and stable, and be content and happy."

"It's too far away, just stop here, let's make the things in front of us more realistic."

"Okay, work, work right away, if you're lazy, you'll be deducted from your salary, come, smoke one."

Liang Tianhe handed over a large front door, Zhang Yiye stretched out his palm and declined, but took out a box of Hade doors from his pocket, took out two of them, and handed them to Liang Tianhe.

"Yo, brother, my wife is not here, she has evolved quite quickly, and she is still Hademen, yes, I will smoke all of you in the future."

"AA system, Hardman can't be reimbursed......"

"So stingy, unlike you, I raised four wives and didn't shout that the money was small, and you only served one and cut it like this......"

The commander muttered, grabbing the two Hardmen from the chief of staff, one in his mouth and one behind his ear.

At this time, someone outside the house shouted: "Liang Tianhe, Zhang Yiye, what kind of plane are you two doing inside!" ”

The cigarette in Liang Tianhe's mouth drooped down: "It's Zhong Xiahuo......"

"Commander Zhong, why is he here? I didn't get a notice from him! ”

The door opened, and the thirty-nine-year-old commander of the front army, General Zhong Xiahuo, broke in with terrible steps that shattered the floor, followed by a bunch of adjutants, staff officers, and guards.

"It's really ...... him"

Liang Tianhe muttered in a low voice, hurriedly raising his hand to salute, but forgot to take off the cigarette from his mouth.

"The two generals are quite comfortable, and they are also Hademen, come, reward me with one."

Zhong Xiahuo shouted loudly, took off the Harder Gate behind Liang Tianhe's ear, put it in his mouth, and Xiao Xia, the guard next to him, immediately drew a match for him and lit it.

Zhong Xiahuo exhaled a puff of smoke, then raised his hand to return the salute and said straight to the point: "I heard that you here have no confidence in taking Hailan Bubble before the end of the month, so you immediately went to the airport to intercept the liaison plane of a squadron and carried us over." What is the situation, I looked in the sky, it's not good, now I want to see it from the ground, I bother the two of you to send some people, lead me to the front line, after reading it, if it really doesn't work, I will discuss it with the base camp again, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard are also people, and they are not invulnerable......"

As he spoke, Zhong Xiahuo shook his chin and motioned to Xiao Xia, the guard next to him, to light a cigarette for Liang Tianhe, and Zhang Yiye took the opportunity to push Liang Tianhe's arm next to him.

"Xie Lu Xie, well, that," Liang Tianhe finally reacted, "Commander Zhong, can you listen to us give us a detailed introduction to the current situation of the field army......
