"...Annihilated the eastern front of the sixth and tenth towns, more than 28,000 Qing troops, including more than 3,900 people were killed, more than 5,400 people were injured, more than 19,000 prisoners were captured, twenty-six field artillery, forty-five mountain artillery, more than 28,000 rifles, ammunition, baggage, grain, mules, horses, and countless ships. In addition, a Jinou armored gunboat was seized and forty-eight people were captured. Our army suffered losses, and 1,384 people were killed in battle, and 2,536 were injured. Breeze shells consumed more than 9,000 rifle shells consumed, 440,000 grenades and mortar shells were ignored..."

In the apartment at No. 154 Baochang Road, Shanghai, Chen Guangshou read the good news from Yanzhou, with a smile on his face, unlike the small victory in the past. This was a big victory that had never been seen. It was unimaginable. When the news of the sixth and tenth towns being completely wiped out, what would happen in the country? Guangxu was afraid he would be furious...

"In addition, Yanzhou also reported two things. One is that during this battle, the Sixth Town used chlorine shells, causing our army to die forty-six people and more than 130 people to be injured. The other is the captives, a major general of the Japanese Army and a Zhongzuo of the Army. They said they wanted to meet the Prime Minister of the Fuxing Society." After reading the main text of the telegram, Chen Guangshou read out the things in the notes. The former involved political propaganda, and the General Staff could not be responsible for it, while the latter was a diplomatic issue. The Fuxing Society cannot provoke foreigners now, at least it cannot be deliberately provoked. When it wins the world in the future, it will be another matter.

"How did the shells come from? Who planned to use chlorine shells during the encirclement? The use of chlorine shells is only the eastern line, or did the Qing army on other lines have such shells?" The Japanese have completely lost movement since Yang Rui, the lion of the lion opened his mouth and asked for 100 million yen. It has temporarily stabilized Japan, so Yang Rui, the two Japanese, is not in a hurry to deal with it. It is just that chlorine shells are not a trivial matter. The air flow in the mountains is not smooth, and the lethality of chlorine shells is not low. If the Qing Dynasty is allowed to use it, then the losses he will suffer are definitely not small. Therefore, Yang Rui said that he should know the scale of the use of the Qing Dynasty. Who would have the idea of ​​doing this with?

"The shells have German marks, which should be imported from Germany." Chen Guangshou looked at the telegram notes and then said the details. "After the Qing Dynasty established the Army Department the year before yesterday, the Military Consultation Office was established. Later, Tieliang and Zaitao fought hard, in order to restrict Tieliang. At the end of last year, the Military Consultation Office was independent from the Army Department and reorganized into the Military Consultation Office, which is equivalent to our General Staff. Previously, Beijing's intelligence said that this time the strategy of attack was formulated by the Military Consultation Office. If it was indeed formulated by the Military Consultation Office, then the use of chlorine artillery shells should be decided by the Military Consultation Office. [Note:]"

"Where is the Military Consulting Office? What's going on inside?" Yang Rui asked gloomyly.

"The Military Consulting Office is located in the front gate of Beijing, with seven departments under it, divided into general affairs, operations, intelligence, transportation and communications, surveying, history and navy. The current minister is Zaitao. Liangbi, who is actually in charge of the affairs of the company." Chen Guangshou said.

"Then get a few such shells and throw them into the Military Consultation Office." Yang Rui said. "Write a letter to them. If such shells appear again, then hit the shells into the palace."

After hearing Yang Rui’s thoughts, Chen Guangshou felt relieved and said, “Will the shell be detonated?”

"Depend on the situation, there is a prosperous place on the front door. If it detonates, it will hurt the innocent, then don't detonate it." Yang Rui replied. He was actually afraid that his actions would be learned by future members and would cause endless harm.

"I understand, sir!" Chen Guangshou thought that sir was considering the people, and Yang Rui's appearance was much taller in his eyes.

"Draft a commendation phone in my name. My literary talent is too bad, please write it." At this point, Yang Rui finally laughed. This time, the anti-encirclement and suppression battle was half completed, and the rest depends on the blocking battle in the other three directions. However, Yang Rui was happy for a while. After Chen Guangshou went out, he became deeper again. The key to the success of this annihilation battle was entirely due to the effective artillery and the tacit cooperation with the infantry.

, but this does not mean that the Zhejiang Front Army has reached the level of infantry and artillery coordination. They only face a trench in the Qing Dynasty. They touched the Qing army's trench in advance, and then rushed the trench immediately after the artillery bombing was over. This can only be regarded as the lowest level of infantry and artillery coordination. The real infantry and artillery coordination is to face a few kilometers of defense lines, and the infantry slowly advance with the barrage. However, with the defense of Beiyang, they only know how to dig a trench and then pull a wire mesh. The low-level infantry and artillery coordination is purchased.

Yang Rui in Shanghai thought about how to make the troops achieve real coordination of infantry and artillery. In the Military Consulting Office in Qianmen, Lu Jingyuan, the director of the First Office (Combat), was thinking about how to strengthen the role of barbed wire. This time, when he entered the Yanzhou Revolutionary Party, the general strategy was determined by the Army Department, but the tactical details were issued by the Military Consulting Office. As an outstanding graduate of the first phase of the Qing Dynasty to Japan's non-commissioned school, Lu Jingyuan paid attention to the trenches and barbed wire mesh to defend the enemy very early, but he had never personally visited the battlefield. In the end, the defense arrangement of the Yanzhou New Army was helped by the Japanese. However, with the barbed wire mesh trenches and machine gun arrays, I understood that it was probably possible to study them by myself. Now Lu Jingyuan is doing experiments in the open space in Xiyuan. How to pull the barbed wire mesh to destroy the most difficult to destroy? The machine gun position must be located there to achieve the maximum killing effect? ​​How to dig the trenches to best protect the soldiers on their own?

Xiyuan had been experimenting for a long time, and the information brought from there was piled up on the table. Lu Jingyuan took people to sort it out overnight. The first hall was so busy that his feet were not rushing, but the second hall got off work early. Chen Qicai entered the first hall and saw that the clerks and documents inside were busy. He had to smile at Lu Jingyuan and said, "Brother Xingyuan seems that he can't leave."

"What? Is there anything wrong with Aishi?" Lu Jingyuan said. Chen Qicai was also a Lu Shi Phase I. Although he is in the infantry department and Lu Jingyuan is in the artillery department, the two still have some friendship.

"Oh, my second brother is here. I wanted to invite Brother Xingyuan to get drunk, but I didn't expect to be busy." Chen Qicai looked at the huge sand table of the director of the hall, which was a position preset according to the Japan-Russia War, with trenches and barbed wire. However, Chen Qicai glanced at it and did not look at it any more.

Seeing that Chen Qicai was here to invite him to drink, Lu Jingyuan immediately sighed: "Aishi should be drunk first. I really can't leave these days, and the war will start in Yanzhou. Forget it, forgot it."

Knowing that Lu Jingyuan couldn't leave, Chen Qicai had to say goodbye. When he walked outside, he saw Chen Qimei, he said: "I'm too busy and can't invite him out. It's better for us brothers to have a drink."

Chen Qimei's plan to ask Lu Jingyuan to come out to talk about the battle situation in Yanzhou. If he couldn't ask for this view, he would not force him to come. Chaozhou's righteousness ultimately failed because of the leak of secrets. The Communist Party suffered heavy losses. The Japanese were extremely disappointed with the Tongmenghui. In this case, the investigation into the leak of secrets was the most important. Before Sun Wen left Japan, he only handed this matter to Chen Qimei for investigation. Chen Qimei first investigated in Tokyo, and then went to Hong Kong and sent someone to the Li Jun Navy Office to investigate the news. Fortunately, there were some results. In the mouth of a drunk Qian Zong, Chen Qimei heard the infighting words of the party members, which made him think of the Revival Society. After sending a letter to Sun Wen, he came to the capital again with the idea of ​​not being rude.

I chose a good mutton hotpot restaurant and ordered a table of good wine and dishes. Chen Qicai happily greeted Chen Qimei when she was eating the dishes, but Chen Qimei had no appetite. Seeing that he was like this, Chen Qicai had to hold back someone else, and went to close the door himself, and then whispered: "Second brother, are you still worried about your republic revolution?"

"What's my republic revolution? It's the republic revolution of thousands of Han people in China. Ai Shi, you won't forget what you said in Shanghai earlier when you arrive in the capital, right?" Although the money you spent on studying abroad was sent by Chen Qicai, Chen Qicai's money from childhood to adulthood was earned by Chen Qimei in pawnshops. Although his younger brother is now at the high position, Chen Qimei is still very confident in speaking. What's more, Chen Qicai is not opposed to revolution and often praises it.

Seeing that the second brother had accusations, Chen Qicai had to laugh and said, "I must never forget what Shanghai said before. But now I am in the capital, and it is no longer as good as Hunan. It is difficult to develop revolutionary members here. Besides, the atmosphere in the north is closed, so it is difficult to promote revolution here, let alone now that the Congress has opened, the people are determined, and they are keen on revolution..."

Chen Qicai talked a lot, only saying that Chen Qimei was upset, but she was helpless. Her third brother seemed to be neat on the surface, but she was very timid in her bones. She had no principles in doing things and was only good at dealing with balance. She was not as easy-going as she appeared on the surface, but she was extremely tough in her bones.

"Third brother, don't say that this is difficult or that is difficult. I am not here to join the revolutionary party, but to inquire about the news of the Revival Society." Chen Qimei finally became impatient and interrupted Chen Qicai's complaints.

"Why should we inquire about the news of the Revival Society?" Chen Qicai asked in surprise. Although he knew that the Fuxing Alliance and the Two Sessions were in conflict, he had a guess in his heart when he looked at Chen Qimei's attitude of going north alone.

"The last time I took action in Chaozhou, it was planned and destroyed by the Revival Society. Although the Revival Society mentioned the revolution, it was actually a **. If their revolution was successful, China would be an imperial China. The Revival Society is in full swing now. If it cannot be destroyed, then the situation in China will be unpredictable." Chen Qimei spoke sincerely, but Chen Qicai knew three of them. It was just that his brother was above him, so he couldn't speak out for offense. He only waited for a while before he said: "The Revival Society is extremely powerful in Yanzhou, with no less than 100,000 troops capable of fighting. I am afraid there are more than tens of thousands of people in the area outside the pass..." (To be continued...)
