Chapter 37 Different thoughts

"World War I solved the problem"

In the early morning of March 22, two gray-green cars had a lot of dirt like a sore, and the car was driving on the muddy dirt road.

There is an open car in front of it, and there is a guard. There is a canopy in the back, and there is a group of staff in the carriage.

Xiao Yuren sat next to the driver in the cab.

He wore a gray cloth military cap with two buttons and a guard emblem, wrapped in a green tweed coat, and leaned on the backrest.

He seemed to be indifferent to the white frosted earth outside the window. He seemed to be indifferent to the bumps of the car body. Under the two impressive thick eyebrows, a pair of small eyes seemed to be open. This is thin, beautiful and white, which looks a few years younger than the actual age of 30. Old face.

"Today, I'm going to Fushun City!"

While the car was driving on the road, a team of soldiers with live ammunition and leggings were marching in one direction on the road, which was the reinforcement of Fushun.

Last night, he had given a death order. Before 6 p.m. this afternoon, he must take Fushun.

"Totally anniied the Yalu River Army!"

The result of the withdrawal of the headquarters of the Yalu River Army from Fushun in a hurry made him see a glimmer of hope of annihron. Although the Yalujiang Army is the one of the four armies of Japan, which has the least strength and the worst combat effectiveness, if it can anniever the Yalujiang Army in two days, then... the whole world will be heavy. New consideration of China.

The bayonet of the Guards will shock the whole world!

Shame!

When Xiao Yiren was sitting in a car and rushing in the direction of Fushun, there was a chaotic mass of chaos in the headquarters of the Manchurian Army in Tieling. All kinds of news gathered from all directions. First, they bombarded Fengtian, and then the Chinese army launched a test-control attack on the front line of Tieling.

But at this time, although the Manchurian Army Command was filled with all kinds of unknown news, everyone was concerned about Fushun.

Shame! What a great shame!

Since the establishment of the army, it has never suffered a fiasco. Yesterday, the two divisions were annihilated in just six hours. The three regiments were unknown, and nearly 40,000 officers and soldiers were killed or whereabouts were unknown.

In just one day, the number of deaths of the Yalu River Army Group exceeded everyone's imagination.

Poisonous gas!

In the Manchurian Army headquarters, from yesterday to today, everyone is talking about only one thing, the poison gas that the Chinese army relies on to break through the defense line of the Yalu River Army.

The yellow-green fog of death, hundreds of rumors from the mouths of soldiers who escaped the disaster, were finally gathered into the Manchurian Army Command, but these rumors interfered with the decisions of the generals and staff. No one knows what the poison gas is, and they don't know how powerful the poison gas is. Their cognition of the poison gas relies entirely on it. Telegram of the Yalu River Army.

"Last night, in the evening, the Sendai United, which is known for its bravery of the whole army, blew up smoke in front of the position when the defense line was under a tentative attack. A brigade that once performed bravely in the night attack of Gongchangling immediately gave up the defense line, retreated soldiers, and even discarded their weapons and were trampled to death by their own people. The Chinese army has killed more people! It's really..."

When General Kuroki Weizhen reported, he even had a trace of luck in his heart. Fortunately, the Chinese just tested the attack, otherwise there was a possibility of a breakthrough in the defense line, but such a defeat was far beyond his imagination.

When Kuroki mentioned the ugly appearance of Sendai United, Nishijima, the commander of the second division, was blushing. He did not expect that his troops were defeated by more than a dozen smoke bombs. Three people were killed and five were injured. This was a battle casualty, but as many as six people were trampled to death, and more than 20 people were trampled.

When Kuroki was reporting, the mountain rock dressed simply and didn't even look like a soldier's prestige, just sitting there quietly, as if listening to an unimmutable report.

But his appearance will never arouse the dissatisfaction of others. No one will doubt his ability. He has used the first large-scale international war at the beginning of the 20th century to prove that he is the best general in the army. And he can combine German strategy and tactics with the traditional samurai spirit of Japan, precisely because he is proficient in artillery tactics and advocates offensive tactics, which makes Japan win the war.

A year ago, the Russian Empire claimed to be the first in the world's army. The leaders of the army's political circles were very nervous, and even Emperor Meiji himself was restless. But the Russian army encountered him in Manchuria. The arrogant Russians still despised me before the war. They felt that I was just a group of yellow monkeys, and it was easy to clean up a group of monkeys. However, he was not arrogant or impatient. Speaking with the truth, he commanded the Japanese army to launch four rounds of fighting with the Russian army, so that the Russians could taste the power of the monkey.

And now?

Dashanyan had a little bitterness in his heart. Under pressure from Tokyo, he sent the Sixth Division to reinforce the Yalu River Army, and what would happen to the Sixth Division? Is it just the blocking mentioned in the telegram? He believes that it will never be that simple. He has sent many telegrams to Okubo Murano to remind him to pay attention to the flank.

"Poisonous gas!"

Dashanyan gently spit out two words.

"Tokyo headquarters requires us to fight back against the Chinese army. I want to ask you, do we have a way to fight against poison gas now?"

No one answered him. Even those generals who shouted to show the Chinese before the Chinese army attacked Fushun, they would be silent.

"Marshal, maybe we can withdraw Tieling from the gap between the Chinese branch and defeat the First Army with all our strength. According to the information held by the advance team, at present, there are only six divisions in the direction of Fushun! The Second Army is willing to take the lead in the whole army and break through the Chinese defense line. In this way, Manchuria can fight a beautiful detour, defeat the Chinese army, and have the advantage of the Chinese poison gas that the royal army can attack!"

Dashanyan looked up at Ao Baogong, who made this suggestion. He did not give a stern rebutt, but said something lukewarmly.

"General Ao, do you know why the Chinese army left more than 30 kilometers of division gap for our army?"

After asking rhetorical questions, he swallowed his saliva.

"Since the Chinese army intervened on the grounds of "protection and neutrality by force", hundreds of planes have been patrolling over our army every day. How can they not find such a large defense gap? Moreover, the terrain in that area is a complex mountain, which is a favorable place for defense. Xiao and Lin How can the general ignore such terrain and let the gap be controlled by our army?

"At present, that gap should be the lifeline of the Chinese army to our Manchurian army,"

Far away in Lushun, Kodama Gentaro, who was originally ordered to report the war situation, lay on the map and looked at the gap in the hundreds of kilometers of iron barrels composed of 21 divisions of the Chinese military in the direction of Tieling. He said to Yamaguchi Suchen that in the one-year-long war, as the chief of staff of the Manchurian army, he was actually right. The first hero of the army in the war, and now Eryu, who is exhausted, even gasped when he spoke.

In fact, he was recalled to the country for reporting this time because of physical considerations. The emperor, Du Taro, Ito and others did not want to see him die in Manchuria.

"The terrain near this gap is complex mountains, and most of the roads are muddy. For example, if our army replenishes supplies here, it is difficult to guarantee the food and fodder to maintain the livelihood of 230,000 troops. If we break out of this place, hundreds of thousands of people will flood into this place, but it is tantamount to jumping out of the tiger mouth of the iron ridge and entering the wolf's den here. The Chinese army only It takes two to three divisions to build a strong defense line and divide our army with mountains, and then completely annihet it..."

"Your Excellency, this is too ambitious for the Chinese people to destroy the prestige of our imperial army, the Chinese army..."

"Is it time to be angry now?"

Kodama Gentaro suddenly shouted loudly. Maybe his voice was too loud and consumed too much physical strength. When the voice fell, some cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"We 30,000 people went to fight in Dalian, but we lost nearly 10,000 people. We just broke through a line of defense of the Chinese army. In Lushun, nearly 40,000 soldiers and two division commanders have used their lives to prove what happened. Why do we still want to say something here now!"

When Eryu scolded Yamaguchi Suchen, his expression was extremely ugly. It was not only a white and slightly sick expression, but also because of his stubborn persistence in the past. Manchuria spent more than one billion yuan on war, and only 100,000 people died to get it. If China wants to recover the Northeast, it must shed blood, but now, China People bled for the northeast, but the one who bled the most was Japanese. In the face of the attack of the Chinese, the Japanese army did not even have room to fight back.

"The main force of the Manchurian army is divided and surrounded by the Chinese in three places. Among them, the Yalu River Army will fall into the territory of total annihilation. Does the Chinese army not have the ability to conquer Fengtian? No! They have the ability to hit the Yalu River Army in one day, and they have the ability to end the attack on Fengtian in a week. Now, for Japan, we have no ability to continue the war at all, and we must end the war! The land war must be over!"

In the Japanese military world, Kodama Gentaro was known as Toyotomi Hideyoshi's reincarnation because of his special attention to the good surname cycle of military power and economic power. Because of this, he knows better than anyone else that his combat power has long been exhausted, not to mention winning two enemies. Now even if the Chinese withdraw from the battlefield, the army is at most only It can maintain the front line.

"Yamaguchi, in two hours, I will take a boat back to Japan. Now for China and Japan, in fact, from the beginning of the war, the biggest problem was to end the war. At this point, the Chinese began to do a good job, but now they are trying to completely anniperate the Yalu River Army to prove their military strength, but they are excited. To make contradictions, if they completely annihily annihirate the Yalu River Army, we must fight a war that is impossible to carry out. President Ito should have arrived in Nanjing. You should now immediately send a telegram to Commander Kawamura in my name and order him to defend at all costs. Be sure to stay there until at least 6 p.m. Only then can we have hope to end this war. If this war is not over, it is impossible for us to end the war with the Russians! Do you understand?"

After saying this, Kodama Gentaro only felt that his strength seemed to be exhausted. The development of the war was completely beyond his imagination. The intervention of the Chinese army and the use of poison gas, even as the first wise general of the Japanese army, faced the dangerous Manchuria battlefield, except There is no other way to end the war as much as possible.

"I hope Ito can..."

"Wo..."

With a fierce cannon, a huge cloud of smoke rose up at Dagukou. This was a test shot of the train cannon. On the beach of Dagukou, New Yongjian, who was holding a telescope in his hand, stared at the sail target of the wooden boat ten kilometers away. Ten seconds later, a huge column of water rose a hundred meters away from the sail target on the sea.

"Who shot this shot?"

Seeing that the shells failed, New Yongjian frowned. As the commander of the North China side of the Guards, although he did not need to be responsible for the victory or defeat of the whole war zone like Xiao Jianren, what he needed to be responsible for was the defense of the weakest North China in China's coastal defense. Until now, the only battle he personally commanded was Disarming the Tianjin garrison, which is only a few hundred enemy troops. As the commander in North China, the only thing he needs is negotiation, just like when disarming the Japanese garrison, when it is opposed by various countries, he negotiates with other countries.

"Sir, it's under the command of Captain Xue!"

"Call me now to ask if he can defend North China with this kind of cannon. It's not as accurate as a three-year-old doll's fart. A shell costs thousands of yuan. That's how he plays with it, isn't it?"

I'm not too much to say it. For New Yongjian, those two train guns may be his last support to guard the North China defense. Except for the two train guns, there are only 26 152 mobile fortress guns. Two days ago, a Japanese light cruiser appeared outside Dagukou, which made him worry.

North China, the important surnames of North China are by no means comparable to other regions. Once the Japanese army lands in North China, the 33 divisions of the two legions fighting outside the customs will fall into the dilemma of being cut off the back road. At that time, he New Yongjian will be the sinner of all of China!

When the staff officer conveyed his order, New Yongjian turned his head and looked at the chief of staff beside him.

"Shaoyan, when will the 20th Division arrive at Qinhuangdao?"

"It is expected to be tomorrow afternoon..."

"Dogs say, what a group of people eat! It's almost the same as a little woman!"

Perhaps because of the heavy shoulder responsibilities, New Yongjian suddenly became angry when he heard this, and Chen Mo just smiled when he heard this.

"Commander, if Nagaoka's foreign history hears your words now, he will be extremely depressed?"

"Huh?"

"Now even if he wants to send troops, he can't draw out soldiers. The main force of the Japanese army is 340,000 trapped in the northeast, and there are only less than 100,000 mobilized soldiers in the mainland. A Japanese-Russian war has exhausted their strength to defend the mainland, not to mention taking the initiative to attack North China. If we have a navy, it is more practical to raid his hometown. Some, but he wants to copy our back road. It's hard!"

While talking, Chen Mo threw a cigarette into the sea.

"Now, the most important thing is not the war situation in the Northeast, but how to end the war! For them, and for us!"
