Chapter 12 Battle
"I changed my plan," said Yang Rui. "As I said before, the Japanese will win this war. In the future, our ports and railways will be under his attack. Even if we pull Americans, those who only recognize money will not dare to fight against the Japanese at all. At least three years, we and the Japanese cannot go to war with the Japanese. But the Russians are different. They will retreat to Jilin and Heilongjiang, and will not have the strength to go to war with us in the short term after the war, so I can use them to train troops first."
"Do you still think Japan will win the war?" Leo disagreed with Yang Rui's statement that Japan will win. It was not the relationship between race, but the war potential of the two countries determined all this, especially the comparison of military strength between the two countries made Leo's view. At this time, Tsarist Russia had more than 2 million troops, while Japan had only more than 200,000. Such a number of people can understand the result of the war.
"Yes, I'm sure." Yang Rui knew the end of the Russo-Japanese War, but this was just history. However, through the intelligence network distributed on the Dongqing Railway, Yang Rui still saw the disadvantages of the Russian army. "The Siberian Railway is too long and has not been fully opened to traffic. Now the trains on the Dongqing Railway are only less than five pairs a day, and they are still short of fuel. The management of the railway station is also very chaotic. Many military materials have been stolen and sold by logistics officers. Because of the distance, Russia cannot fully realize its war potential and cannot exert its advantages in a short period of time."
Leo could not have imagined that there was such a trick, but he still insisted on his point of view, "But that was only in the early stage of the war. If the Russians avoided war in the early stage, then after the European army arrived, the Japanese nightmare would begin."
Yang Rui knew that there were many people who had this view and said with a smile: "But Russia can't wait for the decisive battle. You must know that if the Russians avoided the war at the beginning to wait for support, then the continuous retreat would make morale depressed, and the control of the sea will now be in the hands of the Japanese. Even if the European fleet comes, there will be no combat power under the long-distance raid. There is another most important thing: continuous failures will make the government lose its prestige. Opposition parties, such as revolutionary forces like us, will launch various attacks in Russia. In the end, Russia will be in chaos. The Tsar has to face a choice: either choose to win this war or choose to stabilize the domestic situation. What do you think the Tsar will choose?"
Leo is not very familiar with the situation in Russia. "Russia also has opposition parties and anti-government armed forces?"
Yang Rui nodded, "Yes, it is said that the Japanese have sent spies to contact and are preparing to fund their uprising. You must know that once the plan is successful, Russia will be in chaos. For the Tsar, compared with the throne, the territory is insignificant, and it will not matter whether the war in the Far East will be victorious at that time."
Leo never expected such a situation. As a soldier, he hated him as long as there is a factor in victory. He cursed: "These damn traitors and traitors. Wouldn't they calmly think about it?"
Yang Rui was silent. Isn’t the opposition in history all the way up to power? He took advantage of the national crisis and jumped out to rebel, and civilized people to expand his powers. Now he is a little more and more understanding of Sun Wen. If the revolution is successful, selling interests to win over the great powers is the only correct solution. What can he do with the little money overseas? Yang Rui thought of the Revival Society again. Fortunately, it did not bring any disaster to the country at least, nor did he sell any benefits, but if there was no supply of funds from Shanghai.
, If he wants to become a revolution, he can only choose a godfather between the Russian and Japanese, just like Sun Wen, to choose a godfather between the Russians and the Japanese. This is reality and has nothing to do with morality. Thinking of his pug in front of the Russians and the Japanese, he looked like he was shook his tail and begging for mercy, he felt extremely uncomfortable. It seemed that he was really the life of a grass man, and his heart was too "pure". Even if he traveled through time now, he still couldn't do anything about Han Xin. "Fuck him, mom." Yang Rui cursed to himself, not knowing whether to scold himself or this world.
After Leo's curse and Yang Rui's self-disgust were completed, the meeting finally decided to take the south as the target of the offensive, on May 1. When the two armies were confronting each other, it was difficult for both sides to find out. It was necessary to take the opportunity to control the areas where the railway would pass in the future. It was necessary to uproot the alien forces in this area.
After determining the target, the next thing is to make preparations, supplement various ammunition supplies, and the snow camouflage was replaced with jungle camouflage. All officers who came back from the military academy went to the company to get to know the troops. In order to be as familiar with the troops as possible, the platoon leader and the company commander suddenly had several deputy officers, and the staff were filled with people, basically allocating more than 30 graduates in addition to those who stayed in the camp. The soldiers of the first battalion also strengthened the grenade throwing practice, and even threw live ammunition in the days before departure. The constant "bang bang..." explosions in the camp made the atmosphere even more solemn.
Yang Rui and Leo are analyzing information every day - The radio laboratory finally took out a portable electronic tube short-wave radio station. Of course, there are still many problems with this radio station. One is a triode electronic tube, but the vacuum exhaust problem has not been completely solved. The tube life is not long, only about 500 hours. Secondly, because it is propagated by sky waves, the transmission and reception are very unstable, and the acceptance generally requires high places and antennas. Although the radio station has many problems, it is only
It can be used during the day and at night, but it is difficult to collect the full amount of reports. However, its transmission distance of 300 to 400 kilometers still builds a radio network covering the entire Northeast. More than 30 radios and corresponding transmitters brought this time have been assigned to intelligence stations in various parts of the Northeast. So within half a month, the dynamic intelligence of the entire Northeast was left to Tonghua. In order to analyze and organize these intelligence, the people from the Artillery Department were dropped to help organize them. There were no artillery anyway, so let's use it first.
On May 1, just as the Japanese army attacked the Yalu River and went to the division to worship various gods, the first battalion quietly set off. Everyone wore colorful clothes. In order not to make people think that this was a well-established army, Zhong Guanguang specially made three sets of color treatments on his clothes. Although they were all camouflage, the colors were still somewhat different. In order to confuse others, everyone carried a piece of three-color cloth. During the Russo-Japanese War, the bandits recruited by Russia tied three-color cloth on their shoulders, which was called the Flower Arm Team. The bandits recruited by the Japanese tied three-color cloth on their arms, which was called the Flower Arm Team. Yang Rui was planning to tie three-color cloth on his shoulders when he was preparing to hit the Japanese, and when he was hitting the Russians, he tied three-color cloth on his arms, which was fully fishing for troubled waters.
On May 3, Anton Radio Station sent a telegram saying that the 2nd Division of the First Army of the Japanese Army was the left wing, the 12th Division was the right wing, and the Guard Division was the middle wing, and forced to cross the Yalu River overnight. Jiuliancheng, the main position of the Russian army, was bombarded indiscriminately by 20 Japanese 120 heavy artillery and nearly 100 75 artillery guns. The Russian army retreated to Phoenix City, and the Japanese army immediately occupied Jiuliancheng and Andong. By the 6th, the Japanese army occupied Phoenix City, and the two sides fought against each other in the watershed. Information about the Japanese-Russian War
It's okay to see, that's not the first battalion involved. The target of this advance was Kuandian. Before the war, the Russian army set up a headquarters in Kuandian County, and more than 2,000 people were stationed in Changdian to prevent the Japanese army from crossing the river from Korea and covering the flanks of Andong's Russian army. However, after the Russian army retreated in Jiuliancheng, most of the Russian army withdrew, but there was still a battalion of about 600 Russian troops left behind in Kuandian County. The first battle of the first battalion was this Russian army.
The one-to-one military strength ratio seems to be able to fight hard, but Yang Rui knew that although the First Battalion fought a battle with the Hu bandits, the time for the army was still too short, and it was okay to fight a smooth battle. If it was a tough battle, even if it was a victory, it would be very likely to lose confidence and be unfavorable for future development. "How to fight this battle?" Yang Rui looked at the map and asked the company commander and staff who were looking at the map.
