The attack of the Sixth Regiment completely destroyed the tall image that the Independent Army had finally established, and even more the image of General Billy Gerlinger. When these military officers returned to the headquarters, they no longer believed in the results of the Independent Army. Yang Rui was delighted about their evaluation. Haha, it was still very dangerous to be a tiger. If he was a pig, he would be much safer. If he was caught, he could even bite it with his tiger teeth.

Yang Rui didn't care, but Madlitov had to care. The call from the Group Army Command cursed him for nearly half an hour. After answering the call, he walked into the headquarters in a daze, with sweat all over his face. Looking at his appearance, Yang Rui didn't feel apologized at all. Instead, he said: "Col. It seems that we must rectify the Second Division after the war. If this continues, there will definitely be a big problem. Fortunately, we are attacking this time. If it is defense, then we are probably surrounded by Japanese soldiers."

Yang Rui's fire turned the colonel's fear into anger successfully. He punched the wall with a strong punch, and then said viciously, "Fedorovsky, I won't let him stay in the Second Division for how long. King, we will drive away all the stupid guys in the Second Division!"

The colonel's plan was exactly what Yang Rui expected. He laughed and said, "Oh, Mr. Colonel, you're right. They are too old. I suggest that in a few days... no, after this battle is over, we will send someone to take over the Second Division. Colonel, believe me, they will become as powerful as the First Division in a few months. Then we can fight against a Japanese division alone."

Yang Rui's sow discord was very effective. Madlitov personally went to the Army Command in the afternoon. However, when he came back at dinner, he said as soon as he saw Yang Rui. "Wang, I explained to the General why the Sixth Regiment was like this. General forgives us. Tomorrow, the damn Fedorovsky will be transferred, and then he will send a new chief of staff to retrain them in the regular way."

The colonel's words made Yang Rui look stunned. It seemed that the Russians were still very careful to reach into the Second Division. Grandma's. Bai was happy. But he adjusted his mindset for a while, and there would always be a solution. He smiled and said to Madlitov, "This is very good, Colonel. Next time we will be the real independent army."

The things that the Second Division did not eat were soon put aside by Yang Rui, and the war became more and more chaotic. At 11 o'clock in the morning, the Fourth Regiment attacked the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade. Ida Kotaro and other generals were killed by thunder cannons. After the headquarters was occupied, the 31st Regiment was also dispersed, and the remaining defeated soldiers were quickly easily wiped out. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the war ended. In addition to a small number of captured wounded soldiers, more than 6,000 other people were lying on this snowfield less than ten miles. Looking at the dense corpses that were lying on the snow ground, Bei Shoutong finally felt a little excited. He kept pulling out the captured Kotaro Ida Kotaro's command knife and inserting it in, playing repeatedly. It was not until the staff next to him handed over the statistics that he put down the Tai Dao.

"Eight hundred and ninety-one people died in battle," Bei Shoutong whispered. Seeing that there were not a thousand numbers, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Yang Rui attaches great importance to the casualties in the battle, especially the number of casualties in the battle. "The wounded 1,334 people, of which 517 were seriously injured, and the number of people returning to the team was expected to be 600." After reading this, he continued to read the analysis report later. "The casualties caused by gunfire was 66.12%, the casualties caused by white blades were 18.72%, and the casualties caused by artillery were 15.16%..." He knew that the artillery was injured, mainly the Fourth Regiment and the Sixth Regiment, especially the Sixth Regiment was bombarded with Japanese artillery, but he didn't understand the injury of this white blade. He asked, "Are the commandos equipped with shotguns? Why are there nearly four hundred casualties of white blades?"

The staff officer was very clear about the situation of the return of each regiment and explained: "The 31st Regiment on the Fifth Regiment is very cunning. Many Japanese soldiers fell to the ground and pretended to be dead. When the commando left the other infantry coming up, they suddenly got up to fight hand-to-hand combat. The Fifth Regiment accidentally suffered a loss, and the Third Regiment also had this situation."

The shotguns were only more than 2,000 shotguns, and they were all drawn out and distributed to the commando team. There were no infantry behind them. Thinking of this, Bei Shoutong couldn't help but grab his head that had not been washed for a few days, and said, "The Japanese are indeed cunning. Okay, you send this battle report to the headquarters. In addition, although the Eighth Division in front was surrounded, the Japanese will send reinforcements to inform the regiments to strengthen their vigilance."

With the arrival of the Fifth Division, Shangwen decided to lead the division westward to rescue the Fourth Brigade, but he was targeted by the Cossack cavalry not far from the Langdong Grotto. Fortunately, he was cautious and Misichenko did not take any advantage. With the arrival of the 14th Division, at 8 o'clock in the morning, more than 20,000 people of the 8th Division and the Fifth Division were against the snowfields several miles north of the Xu family. The Russian army appeared one after another. Seeing that Shangwen did not dare to advance rashly, he learned the Russian tactics and began to advance in positions. The Japanese army also thought of ways to burn the frozen soil and excavate fortifications. Before the troops came out, they were ready to work and brought a lot of wood and oil. Once surrounded, they began to ignite the ground and excavate fortifications.

The cavalry had no choice but to use such a turtle formation, and the 14th Division would only continue to shell the artillery. The division commander Lieutenant General Russanov divided the artillery in his hand into four teams and continuously bombarded the Japanese positions from multiple directions. Although there was fierce artillery fire, the Japanese soldiers ignored it. Seeing that the shelling effect was not good, Russanov also organized several assaults in various directions, but without exception, they were all shot back by the Japanese army, especially the Hachkas machine guns that drove the attacking Russian troops to the flesh and blood.

After receiving the battle reports from various departments, the angry Rusanov scolded the leaders of the regiments hard, and then he still angrily hit the table with a horse whip. Am I really a monkey? He thought of the bets he had with Yang Rui at the meeting that day. Thinking of this, he became angry again, "Quick! Pass the orders to the regiments and organize the next attack in half an hour. Those who disobey will be dismissed."

From 8 o'clock in the morning to dark, the 14th Division organized several attacks. However, without exception, they failed under the bombardment of Japanese machine guns and artillery, and the morale of the troops was also lost in the successive attacks. Rusanov kept asking the army headquarters for reinforcements. The headquarters replied that he would have to wait until Shendan Fort was captured before sending new troops to come. However, they expected that Shendan Fort would be taken down by the Russian army by tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, the Russian army had already rushed into Shendan Fort once, but was fought out by the Japanese army with his life. The headquarters was very confident in occupying Shendan Fort within a dozen hours. Once Shendan Fort was occupied, plus the revised Independence Army, 50,000 Russian troops would sweep the Japanese rear eastward. General Billy Jerlinger seemed to smell the smell of victory.

Yang Rui looked at the situation between the enemy and us and said, "It seems that we are in sight to win. Haha."

Leo knew he was talking sarcastically again. "Stop talking about the Russian army, it's better to talk about where we retreat."

Yang Rui smiled and said, "Where can you retreat? Of course, it's Suma Fort, Sanjian Bauba, Tong Er Fort. It's best to take up the Heigou Platform."

Leo said: "Heigoutai belongs to the 14th Division. They left several companies of troops where they are. That is their defense line. It is not good for us to send troops there."

"Then let the 7th Regiment and Eighth Regiment speed up the work. The day after tomorrow, the road from Qibei Village to Sanjianbao will be repaired the road from Qibei Village to Sanjianbao the day after tomorrow." Yang Rui said. Originally, Heigoutai was an important transportation node. However, this place belonged to the Eighth Army, so he could only arrange a new retreat for himself. Unlike the light raids of the first regiment before, it was difficult to move through the large army, especially the artillery artillery and supplies of the artillery must be connected with a large road. The road from Sanjianbao on Qibei Village Road was constantly being renovated, and more than a thousand barrels of kerosene were made in Fengtian, but the project was still not going smoothly.

"Yang. What do you think the Japanese army will do?" Leo asked.

"How to do it? Of course, it is to send troops to support Shendan Fort and then a night attack. The Eighth Division's 8th Division is not a good character to mess with. The 14th Division has not attacked for a day and is already an exhausted division. Although the 8th Division is being beaten, it is still OK to organize a night attack. If I were to Shangwen, I would definitely take this opportunity to give the 14th Division. Although Misichenko is next to the 14th Division, even if it is not eaten, he can still have some results." It is normal for the Japanese army's night attack in the Russo-Japanese War. They played some white teams when they attacked Lushun, and were exposed because of the Russian searchlights and mines. They suffered heavy casualties.

After Yang Rui finished speaking, the commander of the headquarters came over and whispered: "The Japanese army sent reinforcements again. This time the second division from Kuroki Weizhen was drawn. The third division at Dadongshan Fort seemed to be gathering, and it seemed that it was going to be sent to Langdonggou."

Yang Rui was surprised to hear that the Japanese army sent more reinforcements. Forget the Third Division of Dadongshan Fort, it was just because it was sticking to the Qiushan Detachment. The 33rd Regiment had been transferred to Shendan Fort before. It is reasonable to transfer all the divisions here, but now even the Second Division of Kuroki Weizhen is here, which is on the right side of the Japanese front.

"I guess when will the Second Division reach Langdong Valley? Is there no abnormal movement on the front battlefield?" Yang Rui asked.

The staff officer said: "In the intelligence, the Second Division set out after dinner. I guess if I marched all night, I would be able to arrive at the battlefield early tomorrow morning. As for the front battlefield, the Japanese army launched violent artillery attacks since dark. There was nothing wrong with the Russian army."

After hearing this, Yang Rui nodded and signaled him to go out. After he left, Yang Rui told Leo the message, "The Japanese army has dispatched two more divisions. The fifth, third, second, plus half of the eighth division, the strength is almost the same as ours."

Leo also asked like Yang Rui, "Why, so many troops on the front battlefield have been drawn, aren't the Japanese army afraid of the Russian army attacking after they know it?"

Yang Rui smiled and said, "They are afraid that the Russian army will know now, so they are constantly bombarding the Russian army's frontal defense line and making a large-scale attack. Most people will be fooled, but they know that he is just a smoke bomb."

According to the information Yang Rui said, Leo carefully marked the movement directions of these divisions on the map, and then stared at the map silently.

Seeing that he was still thinking about countermeasures, Yang Rui said, "You, don't think about it anymore. The war you asked me to see said that war is a continuation of the entire branch, so it is not enough to just consider the war itself. And I also read another truth from the book: politics has no rivals to me and no borders. For example, although Japan and Russia declare war, Dashanyan is a good friend of General Kuropatkin. The more miserable Dashanyan defeated the Second Army, the more stable the position of General Kuropatkin. Therefore, even if he saw that the Japanese army was just bluffing in the front, he would not launch an attack. Victory was not achieved at this time."

After hearing Yang Rui's words, Leo stared at Yang Rui for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "The teacher used to say that I couldn't understand the argument of war. I disagree. But after hearing what you just said, I know where the gap between us is. In fact, since South Africa, I feel that I am not accepted by this era."

Seeing that Leo was also reflecting on himself, Yang Rui smiled and said, "The reason why you are not accepted by the times is because you still have things you insist on. When you throw away all these things that you have, you will be accepted by everyone, but that is not you. I also recommend you to read a Chinese book called Han Feizi. That day I will ask Bei Shoutong to translate it for you."

Leo nodded. He thought of something and said to Yang Rui: "We must notify Xiang in advance that he and Misichenko's cavalry army will be attacked by the Japanese army at night... No, the Japanese will not attack at night, they will wait for reinforcements to join. If they attack the Russian army in the morning, Xiang and they will get up early in the morning."

Yang Rui nodded, "Yes, I will notify them of the Cavalry Battalion," he patted his head and said to himself. "Also, the London Exchange will also need to notify you."

Since Xiaoshuang encircled and annihilated the Eighth Brigade, the cavalry battalion led by Xiang Xiang was a little idle. During the day, the entire cavalry army was arranged by Misichenko on the flank of the Japanese army, that is, to the south of Langdonggou. Facing the 8th Division that was huddled into a regiment, the cavalry could not find any good opportunities, so they had to confront the Japanese army.

In the evening, the cavalry battalion was camping in Dongsanjiazi. Xiang Xiang was talking to Zheng Lanting with the telegram sent by Yang Rui, "Old Zheng, the commander said that the Japanese will be uneasy tonight, so we should be ready to retreat."

Zheng Lanting was invited by Xiang Xiang to come here so late and thought he would arrange tomorrow's attack. Last time he killed Xiaojizi, he found the feeling of galloping on the battlefield before, but who knew he was going to retreat. He said, "Why, the boss really said that? Big noses, tens of thousands, tens of thousands, are blocking the little nose here, will they lose?"

Xiang Xiang looked at the telegram again, and it was strange to receive it, but he knew that Yang Rui's intelligence and judgment were always accurate, so he was convinced. He said, "The commander said that the Japanese sent reinforcements again and arrived early tomorrow morning. I guess they would come for a while in the morning. We are in the south, maybe the Japanese will come and touch them in the middle of the night. We should be prepared."

Since there were reinforcements from Xiao Nose, it was still necessary to prepare. Zheng Lanting stood up and said, "Okay. Then I will inform the little boys to keep their guns in hand and not to unhing their saddles." After that, he went down.

After Zheng Lanting left, Xiang Xiang couldn't sleep all night. Before the fourth day, the wind and snow outside had stopped, but the weather was still as cold. At this time, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion got up. After having breakfast prepared in the kitchen, everyone was warmed up again. Because of the arrangement last night, all kinds of supplies were already installed on the sled and the horses were led out of the horse house. Xiang Xiang rode on the orderly man and stepped on it. The soldiers of the cavalry battalion were already on the horse. Although everyone didn't understand why they had to secretly leave the camp so long ago, and they didn't carry large tents or other items, there was no hesitation under the military order, and they just slowly left the village under the leadership of the battalion commander.

Although the cavalry battalion was mixed with the Russian cavalry, the camp was separated. Usually, the camp was only next to the Russian cavalry camp. After Xiang Xiang's hundreds of people left the camp, they rode their horses and ran away until they were far away from the camp. Then they rode their horses and ran. Zheng Lanting next to him leaned over and asked, "Where are we going?"

Xiang Xiang actually didn't know where to go. His previous idea was to leave the camp first and not be surrounded by the Japanese army with Russians. When he saw Zheng Lanting ask, he suddenly had an idea and said, "Why don't we go and see the Japanese soldiers fighting Russians. We have never seen the ability of Japanese soldiers."

Xiang Xiang's idea was very dangerous, but Zheng Lanting was not a timid person. Seeing that he could see his big nose and small noses killing each other, he felt passionate and shouted: "Okay! Battalion Commander, I will follow you to see what's so powerful, haha."

When Xiang Xiang heard Zheng Lanting call him battalion commander, he smiled. He knew that although he had won Lao Zheng's cavalry team last time, Zheng Lanting had never been convinced in his heart. The battalion commander usually called him less. In fact, it was the same. After all, Laojun Lu's nickname was very famous in Liaodong. During the Gengzi period, he lost to a slutty boy for nothing. This was really shameless. But in this short time, whether it was reconnaissance or combat, Zheng Lanting's sense of identity with him became more and more, and the battalion commander also called him more. Unlike Yang Rui and the bearded men, Xiang Xiang just proved that he was also a bearded person with his courage. He wanted everyone to admire him instead of just making friends with him. Although this was difficult, now it seems that he did it.
