Chapter 94 What is the Truth

At dawn, the sun had just risen, accompanied by the thunderous sound of horses' hoofs. In the rhythm of the horses' hoofs, the valley behind the bushes was full of smoke and dust, and the horse trotted to the enemy's flank. At this time, a ravine just covered the movement of the cavalry, but after running for a few miles, the cavalry dispersed and climbed to the top of the mountain, which was not high, while the leading cavalry officer began to judge the distance and the time they could rush to the enemy's flank in their hearts.

"All! Lie down--down!"

The officer, dressed in a white but yellow military uniform dyed with gray soil, turned around, put the telescope into the leather box, and gave the order with a unique command with a long voice.

The officer walked to the front of the scattered line of his team. The cavalry turned their purple and black faces, which were oiled by heat and dust, to their officers. After confirming the order, they immediately lay down on the grass, waiting for the order to attack.

"Prepare to fight!"

After another command sounded, the top of the mountain and the hillside were full of the sound of bolts pulling.

Mannerheim, standing on the top of the mountain, looked at his subordinates. At this time, the cavalry were scattered and crawling in all sides, looking for the terrain to cover and choosing the right shooting position. Several people even tried to dig out the trench with a sabre, and in the distance, rows of navy blue lines were impacting in this direction.

At this time, the breeze sent a messy and hurried footsteps from the Japanese army. The Japanese army's scattered line was different from the scattered line that Mannerheim had contacted in the past. It was not very neat and even a little messy. In fact, this was a way of attack that the Japanese army had just learned in the cruel war. Compared with the relatively neat scattered line in the past, this messy scattered line can reduce the killing of machine guns and curved guns as much as possible. The Chinese machine guns and curved guns have always been the nightmare of the Japanese soldiers, and war will always make people make rapid progress.

"Wait more..."

Without waiting for Mannerheim to say the next word, I don't know who shot first.

The gunfire suddenly sounded, and the cavalry lying on the hill began to shoot. The Japanese army quickly lay on the ground, and the two armies opened fire hundreds of meters apart.

Mannerheim, who knew that he could no longer hit the Japanese army hard at close range, immediately ordered the machine gunners to fire. After dozens of bullets were fired by the machine gun, as an officer raised his command knife, a row of soldiers stood up and ran forward. Dozens of infantry ran and fell down again. Damn, what are they doing?

Mannerheim saw from the telescope that the attacking Japanese soldiers were digging bunkers with shovels. With their excavation, their heads were full of dust. Just a few minutes later, many small mounds bulgeed in front of the Japanese army's scattered line. From there, there was a continuous sound of rifle shots, and at the same time as the rifles shot, there was a row of protruding earth mounds, digging the bunker again.

"Damn, what kind of play is this?"

Mannerheim, who knew that his strength was weak, saw this scene and opened his eyes slightly. He could hardly believe his eyes. On the battlefield, those soldiers were like gophers, constantly using this method of digging with shovels to approach him, although the speed of each move forward was only more than a dozen meters. There are only hundreds of mounds left at a time, but then those soldiers can form a leap forward attack on the front with the help of mounds and bunkers.

"How about it? Are you not familiar with it?"

Nakamura Jinwu looked at Kisaburo Ohara beside him with some pride. He had just been transferred from the staff of the division.

"This... is a bit like the attack method of the Chinese army!"

Kisaburo Ohara said truthfully that the Chinese army's tunneling jump attack has always been their nightmare. The first time the Chinese army staged this kind of ground mouse-by-like, step-step tunneling attack was when Tieling captured a prominent part. Because six machine guns were strengthened there, the Chinese army could not be the same as in the past. Rely on its own strong firepower to suppress the front, thus creating a flank assault opportunity.

Although the protruding part had a wing defense and a large number of machine guns, in the end, the Chinese army conquered there in only one day. They used this kind of leap forward attack, digging out a large number of individual bunkers during the attack to provide cover for the attacking troops.

"I have to admit that in addition to being ahead of our country in weapons and equipment, the Chinese army also has some tactical advantages. If we attack in this way in Lushun, maybe Lushun can't kill so many people, and also..."

Nakamura's proud intention was only half of it. After getting closer, he saw that the soldiers who were digging into the bunker were constantly being hit by condescending bullets. This attack method was more suitable for the plains, and the mountains should be used in another way.

"Damn it, you must study it later!"

Just as Nakamura was muttering like this, there was a sudden sound of rifle shots on his flank, and it was the Russian cavalry that charged. But it was soon repelled by the fire of machine guns and rifles. Nakamura, who turned the telescope around, could clearly see that the cavalry were fleeing back, and they were scattered like a fan.

After the cavalry retreated, they formed a whole formation and charged again. This time, there was no shocking shout, but silently without any sound. Another fierce machine gun shot and rifle shot, and the dense bullets swept them back like the wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

"These Russian cavalry...stupid"

Seeing that the Lu cavalry were repeatedly repulsed, the corners of Nakamura's lips were raised and sneered. Did these people forget how they were defeated by the cavalry in Akiyama Haogu with machine guns in Manchuria?

"These Cossacks... Well, there is a saying in China that it is said to remember to eat and not to suffer!"

As soon as Kizoro Ohara's words fell, the two immediately laughed.

"I always feel that there is [***] here, which may be a Chinese conspiracy!"

"This is certain. Chinese people have always been conspiracies. If so, maybe we will leave something for them in Taiwan!"

At this time, several successive charges shook the defensive Japanese army. The scattered lines in front of the left wing may have fallen into chaos because the enemy was too close and retreated a little.

Mannaheim, standing on the mountain, did not order to stop shooting, but ordered a battalion of cavalry led by him to stand up and charge. During the attack, they did not lie down halfway like himself, but pushed forward, completely ignoring the bullets flying opposite.

While Mannerheim launched the charge, the cavalry opened fire with the assembled and assembled cavalry cannons. After the artillery arrived, Mannerheim immediately sent an order to the subordinates of the guarding horses to bring the horses.

"It's time to launch an impact!"

From the beginning of the battle, a major was there to observe the attack of the Red Army, and the Liumen Mountain Artillery of the regiment's cavalry artillery company was bombarding the field full of cut wheat piles, but to his surprise, the power of the cannon did not cause obvious chaos in the Japanese army's position. They retreated unhurriedly and organizedly and turned over the earth. Although they understood that the charge was meaningless at this time, they decided to discuss it with the officer.

"I want to charge."

"What's the charge!"

Mannaheim shook his head disapprovingly and followed the sweat flowing from under the brim with the back of his hat.

"You can see how orderly these yellow monkeys withdraw? They won't give in! Besides, if you think they will admit defeat, it's a joke. Do you know that the commanders in their team are all experienced officers? It must be a force from Manchuria. If it were a reserve force, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so orderly!"

"How did you know?"

The major narrowed his eyes doubtfully and asked.

"The tactics and playing methods of these people are different from the Japanese army we contacted before. Stop shooting! Don't waste bullets!"

Mannerheim ordered, and then repeated it again.

"It's useless to fight, and there are not many shells. We have to contain them here for at least ten days. If the shells are not enough, it is difficult to stick to it."

With that, he raised a sweaty hand. When Mannerheim raised his whip, he had already got on the horse and pointed to the south and shouted at the officers and soldiers of the 52nd Dragon Cavalry Regiment behind him.

"Okay, gentlemen, let's make trouble for those damn yellow monkeys!"

"It's troublesome!"

A long sigh in the car made the driver who was driving look at Liang Dunyan with a long sigh from the rearview mirror. The foreign minister's face was full of sadness.

"Your Excellency, what's going on?"

After thinking about the minister's sigh in his father's telegram, Cao Weiran quickly turned his head and asked, at least before he resigned, he was still an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"North Korea!"

Another sigh, Liang Dunyan sighed softly.

"It's causing us trouble again in North Korea!"

Who caused trouble to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in North Korea? The one who can cause trouble to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanjing is the Guards, and I'm afraid it's your majesty. The reason why Cao Weiran took it for granted that it should be other departments.

"Is it the army? My lord!"

Liang Dunyan nodded. The obedience of the army to diplomacy is bullshit. In most cases, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wipes the army's buttocks, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must obey the army.

"The army is destroying the agreement we reached with myself. If I react strongly, I even suspect that the joint communiqué is likely to be torn up!"

The minister's words stunned Cao Wei. How could it be so serious?

"Your Excellency, the subordinates feel that... I will never dare to tear up the joint communiqué, at least before they master the advantages of North Korea and withdraw their troops from the northeast, so the subordinates think that if you see your majesty for a while, you might as well..."

His voice was slightly suppressed.

"Your Excellency, the Imperial Guards are your majesty's right-hand arms, which can be said to be the foundation of your majesty. If the adults accuse them of their misconduct, they are afraid that they will cause your majesty to be unhappy..."

Cao Weiran said a topic that the civil servants in Nanjing did not want to mention. The army, in the history of China, has never been a dynasty. Like the Chinese Empire, the army enjoys full priority and glory, and most of His Majesty's attendants are army and naval officers. His Majesty's usual uniform is military uniform. This is A way for Your Majesty to express his attitude.

For thousands of years, Chinese soldiers have been just martial arts and food, and now the status of soldiers is transcendent. They can take the train for free, take the public tram for free, go to high school for free after retirement, get a field of merit, enter the park for free and so on. It's hard to say.

"The title of a soldier is the best soldier in China is noble and glorious. His Majesty is a member of the soldiers!" Military regulations and legal regulations make soldiers enjoy transcendent social status when they join the army. "Your Majesty's soldiers and His Majesty's soldiers" is precisely this detached social status that makes People regard joining the army as a shortcut to improve their social status, and even together with soldiers, they will have a sense of pride and mission.

Your Majesty's soldiers not only fight for the country and the nation, but also for your Majesty. "I give it with trust and love, and the loyalty and bravery of the soldiers!" I heard that Your Majesty is also preparing to implement the exemption of agricultural tax for military families during their service to show their love for soldiers, this country! It is gradually pushing up the status of soldiers and even deifying them.

The dignity and survival of a country need to be defended by brave soldiers! Without soldiers, a country will no longer exist! This is even written into laws and textbooks.

While soldiers enjoy a transcendental position, there is layers of "pressure" on civil servants. There is not only the supervision of public opinion in the outside world, but also the inconsideration of consultation. The local advisory bureau and the Imperial Consultative House can also question officials at all levels, and even the local advisory bureau can jointly pass a bill of no confidence, so as to expel you. The appointed local officials may also be pressured by His Majesty to remove them after being questioned by the officials of the central department.

In the past, it was a blessing to be an official in the Qing Dynasty, but now it is a crime to be an official in China. I am worried all day long. My words and deeds are stared at by newspapers and advisory councilors. Compared with the transcendence of soldiers, compared with the group that does not enter the army, civil servants naturally have a lot of grievances, but what can I do? Who let the world be taken down by them, and who let this country leave everything, but not a strong army?

"Yijian, you worry too much. Yes, your majesty is the majesty of soldiers, but it does not mean that your majesty will favor the army. Moreover, your majesty has emphasized more than once that the army is a group that removes discipline or discipline. They violate the policy, and your majesty will never condone it!"

He said so, but Liang Dunyan also knew that this was just his own wishful thinking. After all... Your Majesty's preference for the army has almost reached the point of indulgence. Of course, the premise of doing so is that soldiers repay their loyalty.

"I hope so!"

When he was thinking about it in his heart, the car had already driven into Zijin Mountain, and the weather was gradually entering summer. For Nanjing, which is known as a stove, summer is always difficult. Therefore, every summer, the rich families in Nanjing have always had the habit of going to Zijin Mountain to escape the summer heat, and the current royal family is no exception. Royal Garden It is located in Zijin Mountain.

"Ban!"

A gunshot, a cloud of smoke, a hound barked into the woods. Chen Moran, who was carrying a Mauser shotgun, hurriedly ran to the woods and saw a river in a pool of blood from a distance, with a smile on his face.

"Today, give Qin's mother a taste of wild animals!"

Looking at the river swax, which was barked by five or six hounds, he said while being proud. Chen Moran walked to the side of the river with a rare ease. Seeing that the river wax was still struggling in the pool of blood, he immediately pierced the neck artery of the river with a dagger like a hunter.

"The barb of Bagua Island, the wolf of Zijin Mountain." The barb is more delicate than venison meat, and has always been the favorite of Nanjing people. The origin of the barb in Nanjing is not limited to Bagua Island. There is also a small group of barbars in Zijin Mountain. As an emperor, he can always enjoy some privileges, such as the hunting ground of Zijin Mountain and the river caught from Bagua Island. It is one of the emperor's privileges.

"Your Majesty is good at shooting!"

When the entourage of the river was carried away, there was a shout behind him.

"Song Sheng?"

Looking back, he saw that it was Liang Dunyan. Chen Moran was stunned at first. According to the arrangement, he should come to Bieyuan next month to escape the summer heat. Although the royal Bieyuan is a royal, the ministers could borrow it in those villas to escape the summer heat, but he immediately understood his intention.

"Is it for North Korea?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Shi Li, Liang Dunyan nodded.

"Your Majesty, if the military does this, I'm afraid that I will talk about it. If it affects Taiwan's recovery of the great cause, I'm afraid it will..."

The voice was slightly heavy, and Liang Dunyan's face showed solemnity.

"I'm afraid I'll regret it for decades!"

"Song Sheng, I already know about this, and I agree with it!"

When he took out a 9.3mm shotgun bullet from the belt around his waist and stuffed it into the gun, Chen Moran said as he walked in the woods.

"This is a deal between us and the Russians!"

"Transaction? Your Majesty..."

"I know, I'm afraid I've acted beyond my authority, but it's urgent. This is my mistake! "Song Sheng!"

Without waiting for Liang Dunyan's objection, Chen Moran blocked Liang Dunyan's mouth by admitting his mistake first. Sure enough, as soon as he heard His Majesty's words, Liang Dunyan quickly lowered his head in fear.

"I'm panicked!"

"Song Sheng, you have been in diplomacy for many years. You should understand that the way of diplomacy is not sincerity, but the way of fraud, transaction, cooperation and compromise. Of course, in some cases, in order to achieve some goals, you can choose to take decisive risks, and this time you want to do so that you, of course, including the Russians, do not It has to be easy. If they are not easy, we will be relaxed. People will not do anything, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. Put it on the way of being a person. This kind of people's hearts should be different! But between countries, this is the eternal truth!"

With the gun on his shoulder and holding the barking hound, Chen Moran looked at Liang Dunyan and said.

"That's why I do this. As for myself... Well, they will definitely protest. I think you should know how to respond to them better than I do. In short, shrug your shoulders, just don't help, and then protest to the Russians by the way. Of course, you have to be the strongest and strongest resistance. Anyway, it's just a play!"

"Your Majesty... So... What about Taiwan?"

The shadow of the prey flashing out of the bush made Chen Moran quickly pick up the shotgun and said something when he pulled the trigger and the dog barked.

"The gun pops up! The fleet has set off!"
