Chapter 46: Liaodong Victory

Although the command post is busy, it seems quiet and orderly. In addition to the sound of telegrams, there are also the sound of footsteps coming and going and the faint sound of diesel generators.

Chen Congyun sat quietly on the sofa in the hall, put a chessboard in front of him, and started playing Go with Liu Ting calmly.

When the war comes, everyone will be a little nervous. When the people coming and going, they will always glance at Chen Congyun, as if all the tension has disappeared and their steps have become lighter.

"Guess why everyone looks relaxed?"

"Since his debut, the President has never failed, and has achieved one myth after another. Today, there is an adult here to take charge, and everyone has a clear idea."

The conversation between Liu Yongfu and Aftershock expressed everyone's voice. Not only ordinary soldiers, but before such a large-scale battle, Aftershock and Liu Yongfu were also very nervous, but things were just weird. After Chen Congyun arrived, he didn't need to do anything. He just sat quietly on the side and everything seemed to have become simple.

"What's this? At Zhennan Pass, Lord Shen sat down at the top of the city. The Frenchman's cannon was so fierce that he didn't hurt him. You don't know. As long as you look up and see that the adult on the city is still there, you will feel a Dinghai magic needle sticking there, and you are not panicked." Wan Shusheng said with a sneer, looking like I was like that back then.

…………………………………………

After the shelling stopped, the most nervous person might be Kuropatkin. He held up his telescope and kept putting it down, staring at the dense soldiers in the dark who waded through the sand river that was not too deep. Maybe he should really thank this season.

On the position on the other side, Chinese soldiers were running in the fire. Soon the sound of gunfire sounded, and the mortars fell into the river like rain. While overturning the soldiers one after another, they brought up balls of water.

The Russian army was definitely taking a desperate bet on this attack. The unique bloodiness of the Russian nation broke out at the most critical moment. Rows of soldiers fell in front of the firepower net created by the Chinese army with the most advanced weapons, tilted into the river, and were taken away by the torrents. However, the Russian army did not retreat and had no chance to retreat. The people in front fell down, and more people behind filled up. The artillery fire shone the surface of the Sha River brightly, and the clear sand river water dyed red.

Finally, a group of tenacious Russian soldiers rushed to the river bank. The Chinese soldiers in the opposite position threw out a grenade and desperately suppressed the Russian army with firepower. Every Russian army who had arrived ashore stared at blood-red eyes, making a roar like a beast from his mouth, and the hissing sound of bullets hitting the human body, just like the laughter of death in the dark.

Fallen! Keep up! Fallen again, keep up! The position from the center of the sand river to the other side of the river is less than 500 meters away. Piles of corpses are drifting on the river surface, and piles of corpses fall on the river bank.

After the Battle of Dandong, Kuropatkin knew very well that the equipment of the Chinese army was above the Russian army, and he also knew clearly what kind of killing he would face when breaking through Shahe, but he had no choice. As a standard excellent soldier, Kuropatkin would never choose to sit and wait for death. Even if the last fight meant death, it meant that the 80,000 Russian troops would have to keep filling them with their lives, and it would be spared.

The scene that Kuropatkin most wanted to see finally appeared. On the positions across the river, Chinese soldiers began to retreat and abandoned the front line of positions. The Russian army like tide rushed across the other side with fierce artillery fire and established a bridgehead.

"Great! The whole army attacked!" After Kuropatkin issued an order, he showed a long-lost smile on his face. He turned around to see the adjutant beside him, who was packing up his things and preparing to cross the river.

The soldiers lined up silently endured the biting coolness of the early spring river in the darkness. Kuropatkin was no exception. He followed the team, leaning on a stick prepared by the adjutant, and slowly lying on the waist-deep river water. One shell fell three meters away, and seven or eight soldiers let out a brief scream in the explosion. The violent shelling continued. The sound was not a large-caliber artillery, but a unique Chinese army.

Mortars are a non-mainstream artillery with fast shooting and arc-shaped ballistics. It is this artillery. Before the war, the Russian army once judged that due to financial problems, the Chinese army was unable to equip large-caliber artillery on a large scale, so they took a compromise method. Now it seems that this view is very ridiculous. Especially during the Dandong blocking war, Kuropatkin deeply realized that this artillery suppressed its huge power in the process of close combat.

The corpses were flowing downstream, and the shelling continued wildly. The screams of the injured soldiers sounded so terrifying in the darkness of the morning. The scene composed of fire, explosions, countless corpses, bright red river water, and terrifying wails was like hell.

Maybe the next shell will fall on my head! Kuropatkin thought so in his heart, and his feet were working harder to speed up the rhythm. The river bank in the dark was more than ten meters away. If he climbed the other side, he might be able to rebirth.

"It's time!" Aftershock walked to Shen Congyun with a smile, and glanced at the chessboard with a light glance. Shen Congyun picked up a piece and fell down gently, and smiled and said, "You are the commander-in-chief."

Aftershock nodded, walked to the huge round table in the middle, fucked the phone and roared loudly: "Start!"

On the heavy artillery position that had been holding back a lot of energy, each cannon with a caliber of at least 75 mm, with its barrel facing the dark sky. Shortly after the harsh phone ringing, a signal soldier rushed out of the command post, holding a red flag and waving it.

Finally walked from the river to the solid bank. Before Kuropatkin could breathe a long breath, a sharp and dense whistling sound rang through the night sky. Kuropatkin's pale face turned red at this moment. Before he could react, the adjutant behind him had already knocked him down and pressed him under him.

The beach on the other side of the Shahe River turned into a sea of ​​fire in almost the blink of an eye. None of the river banks were spared, and dense shells fell like raindrops, and the sound of cannons shocked the earth.

In the sea of ​​fire were countless Russian soldiers running around. The last bit of fighting spirit was completely lost in the face of the fierce and suffocating artillery fire. The Russian army suddenly became in chaos and had no formation at all.

After the fierce artillery fire lasted for half an hour, the sky showed a white spot. The loud military horn sounded on the Liaodong Plain, and the Chinese army attacked.

The sound of cannons shook the sky and shouts were heard throughout the sky. Countless bayonets shone in the firelight. More than 100,000 Chinese troops launched a fatal blow to the Russian army. The Russian army, which could not advance or retreat, was no longer immune. The only thing the Russian soldiers did was to escape from their own lives. Kuropatkin worked very hard to restrain the troops and wanted to organize a line of defense, but this effort quickly turned into a bubble. Every officer he could find was lying on the ground and trembling. The more shiver, he had already run away.

In the darkness, Curopatkin could only be protected by a guard of dozens of people around him, and simply identified the direction and escaped towards Lushun.

The sky finally dawned, and the morning color of the sun was not revealed, and the smoke from both sides of the sand river was still there. Standing on the high ground and looking into the distance, I saw a huge battlefield. I saw countless Chinese soldiers holding bayonets on the battlefield chasing the collapsed Russian troops, shouting everywhere to stop killing the guns, and weapons discarded by the Russian troops everywhere, and Russian troops and wounded soldiers sneering on the ground screaming.

………………………………………………

"Sir, the overall situation is decided! An hour ago, the second and third armies attacked each other on both sides, and the Russian army was completely defeated..." As soon as the aftershock was halfway through, he immediately closed his mouth in time. On the chair in the combat room, Shen Congyun was leaning on the chair with a low snoring sound.

"Shh!" Liu Ting made a gesture of silence, gently pulled Shen Congyun into the coat covered with her body, and slowly

He stood up and walked over and whispered: "It's been three days and three nights, and the adults haven't slept much along the way. In fact, he was most anxious, but his face was not revealed." Liu Ting said, smiling proudly, as if a child had discovered the adult's secret.

Aftershock then noticed that no wonder the entire hall was quiet, and occasionally people were walking around, and they were all tiptoed and walking like a thief.

Good news came one by one from the front. Aftershocks, Liu Yongfu and Wan Shusheng almost never stopped smiling, but they all felt a little bit lacking.

"I said, why do I feel something is missing in my heart?" Wan Shusheng, who was leisurely in his expression, muttered in the command room with a teacup.

"I feel so too!" Aftershock smiled bitterly for no reason, as if he was just a feeling of happiness in his heart.

"I said, do you seem to have done something brilliant when you were a child? You went home and wanted to tell the adults, but the adults were not at home and felt so uncomfortable in their hearts?" Liu Yongfu asked with a quips and smiled. Wan Shusheng slapped his head and said, "Yes! That's what it feels!"

The three of them immediately looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh comfortably. It turned out that Liu Yongfu had the point of saying that, wasn't it just that Shen Congyun fell asleep and couldn't show off on the spot?

"What are you doing when you laugh so loudly? You picked up your wallet?" Shen Congyun's voice came in from outside the door. The door was pushed open. Shen Congyun rubbed his eyes and yawned in.

"Sir!" The three of them saluted at the same time. Shen Congyun raised his hand and said, "I'm sorry, let's talk about the situation."

"The latest situation is that half an hour ago, the First Army launched an attack from the Russian army. Zhang Guangming called and complained that we were biased, saying that the First Army only beat the edge and didn't catch anything this time." Aftershock smiled and took a stack of telegrams.

"The Russian army has been completely defeated and cannot organize effective resistance at all. The Russian army is fleeing in all directions. The second and third armies are in fierce pursuit. As the Russian army runs around, our team is also in a mess. The current situation is that they are pursuing and captives. The front-line troops cannot be contacted at all, and the specific results cannot be counted." Liu Yongfu handed a cigarette to Chen Congyun and explained with a smile.

"From my perspective, although there are only sporadic battles going on now, if you want to completely eliminate the remaining enemies, you have to wait until dark before you can achieve results." Wan Shusheng continued to laugh. Chen Congyun yawned a long time after hearing this, and stretched hard and said, "That's good. I don't think I'm done here anymore. I'll go back to sleep. Grandma's! It's so hard to pretend to be calm these days."

These three people thought about it carefully, didn’t Chen Congyun always look calm and composed when they arrived? It turned out that they were all pretending. After Chen Congyun went out, the three of them looked at each other and couldn’t help but burst into laughter again.

The laughter between the three giants reached outside, causing a group of staff to whisper.

"The president has left, so he has given up the sheep!"

"Guess what the adults are laughing at?"

"Guess a hammer, let's guess the adults' thoughts."

The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are fast!

Despite repeated dissuasion by AfterZheng and others, Chen Congyun, who had been waiting for a day, decided to go to the front line of Shahe in person. AfterZheng and others, who were busy, had no choice but to send a battalion soldiers to escort Chen Congyun on the road.

This is a bright spring morning. A tender green scene has just appeared on the Liaodong wilderness, and the new buds on the branches are ready to move. With a slight smell of smoke, the warm spring breeze blows on the face, which makes people feel refreshed.

The road was still a busy scene, with stretchers constantly carrying the wounded soldiers down, and those who supported these stretchers were the people from all over Liaodong. Looking at the tenacity and willing smiles on these simple faces, Chen Congyun felt a sense of pleasure from the heart. This is the Chinese people. They have low requirements. As long as they can eat enough, they will serve whoever they can eat enough.

The only regret that Chen Congyun felt was that due to road problems, cars could not be used in large quantities. After passing Yingkou, there was no sign of cars again. It seems that in the next few years, the overhaul of road repairs will be put on the table.

As the sun gradually rises, the scene ahead gradually becomes messy. On the road, some soldiers escorted Russian prisoners and walked back. Anyone who is more careful can notice that the Chinese soldiers, who are obviously half short, are full of proud smiles when they escorted Russian prisoners with rifles. Chen Congyun is not difficult to understand the source of this smile. It has been 65 years since 1839. The days when foreigners show off their power on the land of China seem to have come to an end at this moment. As a soldier who witnesses history, there is no reason not to be proud!

The feeling of pride also aroused in Shen Congyun's heart. Chen Congyun dared to turn over and get off the horse, stop a little soldier and ask, "Little Devil, are these prisoners you caught?"

Although he did not recognize who Chen Congyun was, the little soldier still felt that Chen Congyun was of different temperament. He subconsciously raised his gun and stood attentively: "Report to the commander, we even arrested 38 prisoners in total, and they are all here."

The little soldier's face was a little nervous. Chen Congyun smiled and stepped forward, took a seized rifle from his shoulder, skillfully pulled the bolt and smiled, "This gun is good, can you give it to me?"

The little soldier looked around with a little hesitation. At this time, a second lieutenant who came up from behind came over and saluted: "Sir, according to the discipline of our army, all seizures will be returned to the public."

Chen Congyun heard this and said regretfully: "That's right, then..." Before Chen Congyun could say "forget it", the captain showed an excited smile on his face and said loudly: "But Principal, as the supreme commander of the national armed forces, students can make an exception for you."

He recognized it! Chen Congyun couldn't help but smile, looked at the lieutenant carefully and said, "Which unit are you from? Are you from Shanghai Martial Arts School or Tianjin Martial Arts School?"

"Report to the principal, student Gu Zhenwu! He graduated from Tianjin Martial Arts Hall and is now the company commander of the 2nd Company, the 36th Regiment of the 6th Division of the Second Army."

Chen Congyun smiled and patted his shoulder, picked up the rifle and asked, "Do you know what kind of gun this is?"

"Mosin, Nagan style, became the standard rifle of the Russian army in 1891. Also known as the m1891 infantry rifle, it is called the water-continuous bead rifle in China. The caliber is 7.63mm, the entire body length is 1306mm, the total length is 1738mm with a bayonet, the empty gun weighs 4.22kg, and the initial velocity of the muzzle is 615m/s. The tall and long arms of the old men used this gun to fight with bayonets, which took advantage of the old nose." After Gu Zhenwu finished his answer, he added, which shows that the Northern Military Region has been studying the Russian army in detail. How could such a battle not be won?

"This is also a famous gun!" Chen Congyun sighed, thinking that this time the Sino-Russian War was fought, there must be a large number of Russian weapons seized. In the future, it will be a waste to use it as scrap iron to refill it. If you want to talk about Mosin, the Nagan style is also a good thing. Unfortunately, Chen Congyun has decided to adopt the German K98 and has been committed to the construction of equipment standardization. Considering the supply of ammunition on the battlefield, these seized rifles seem to have to find another way out.

After saying goodbye to Gu Zhenwu, Chen Congyun continued to go on the road, and his mind was chaotic all the way. Judging from the historical development, after the failure of the Russo-Japanese War, an armed riot of the bourgeois revolution broke out in Russia. Since it was a riot, it would require weapons. Well, it seems that Zhao Xinglong had to work hard, contact the buyer, and return a ruble, which would be considered to increase a little foreign exchange reserves. As for the Russian bourgeois revolution, it would still be destroyed in the end, otherwise who would fight? Where did Chen Congyun go to make money in the war? Thinking of these, Chen Congyun thought of Nicholas II, the unlucky guy, who might be the most failed tsar in Russian history.

Finally arrived at the frontier of Shahe. Liu Yongyuan, who had already received the news, came out with the deployment directly and saw Chen Congyunhou leading the frontier position.

There were chaos all the way, and the most common ones were Russian soldiers who fell to the ground and prisoners of war who were escorted down. Most of the Russian prisoners were wearing thick long jackets, most of them had big beards, with messy hair and dirty bodies that had not taken a bath for half a year. The faces were frustrated and their eyes were filled with fear. The Russian soldiers who used to show off their power on the Liaodong Peninsula might not have thought that they would be today.

The smell of gunpowder was mixed with a strong smell of blood and the air became dense. Liu Ting, who had been frowning, couldn't help but find a place to vomit a few times. Chen Congyun simply asked someone to take her away and followed Liu Yongquan to the high ground by the river.

Standing on the high ground, Chen Congyun saw the most tragic scene of modern war. On the river surface that stretched for two or three kilometers, countless Russian corpses were floating. The sand river water had turned into a dark black. Before the river bank had been cleaned, the bodies that fell forward were lying layer by layer. Chen Congyun could imagine how dense formation the Russian army rushed forward in the early morning yesterday. In history, even if Russia was defeated by Japan, it was still a first-class world power. After the October Revolution in Russia, with the end of World War II, and later China was frightened by Sino-Soviet China, a behemoth suppressed, had to breathe for decades. There must be a reason for a nation to be so powerful. Putting aside personal emotional factors, the perseverance and strength of the Russian nation may be able to see a glimpse of the moment when the Russian army crossed the river.

But history is history after all. Since it has come to this world and has leveraged the trajectory of historical development, many things cannot be decided by others. With China's early rise, the future dominance of the world in the east is absolutely allowed to be like this in history.

After a little emotion in his heart, Chen Congyun turned around and yelled at the officers accompanying him and all the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield: "Soldiers! Have you seen that you have defeated the army of the real powers in this world. It is this country, since the 17th century, has been constantly eroding the territory that originally belonged to China, and creating one tragedy on China's territory. Now, you have defeated them, and you are worthy of this era! You have proved that the country is strong with practical actions! I firmly believe that in the future you will continue to win, and the pace of China's rise is unstoppable because of your existence! China will stand again on the top of the world's nation! Your footsteps will surely step on victory again and again to conquer the whole world!"

Everyone became excited after Shen Congyun's words, and infinite pride and pride surged in the eyes of every soldier! Chen Congyun was full of inspiring words, making every soldier's blood boil, and he wanted to fuck him immediately and try his best to find the Russians.

When the victory is achieved, the leader is standing among everyone. What else can be more unforgettable than such a memory?

"Long live the Chinese nation! The Chinese people are invincible!"

"Down with Tsarist Russia! Drive the Russians out of China's territory!"

The director of the Political Training Department raised his arms in time and immediately triggered a roar like a tsunami collapse! The sand river flowing eastward is roaring! Changbai Mountain is roaring! Bohai Bay is roaring! The roar is roaring! The roar is roaring up to nine heavens!

Five thousand Russian troops were killed and wounded, eighty thousand prisoners were captured, more than 400 artillery pieces were seized, more than 100 Maxim and countless rifles. The entire Liaodong war situation came to an end, and the Northern Military Region delivered an answer that made the whole country's military and civilians ecstatic. The news spread, and all newspapers published this news, and the sales of all newspapers were repeated several times. The most representative one was the "Xin Kuaibao". He found more than a dozen trucks and pulled the 100,000 copies of the urgently printed ones, and sprinkled them on the streets and alleys of Shanghai, all for free!

A great victory in the Northeast! Everyone in major cities, from high-ranking officials to peddlers and pawns, was talking about this matter. The haze that suppressed people's hearts in the early stages of the war broke out completely at this moment. All the aggrievances that China suffered since the Opium War were released at this moment. In the capital, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Nanjing and other major cities, students took to the streets to celebrate the victory with joy. The celebrations in major cities continued until midnight. At the beginning of the war, all the remarks that were not optimistic about the Chinese army seemed to have disappeared in the warm spring breeze after the news of the Great Victory in the Northeast.

The day after the news spread, a large-scale wave of full-name support for the Russian War broke out across the country, and long queues were lined up in front of donation boxes organized by various places. Everyone's faces were filled with urgent smiles, and everyone wanted to do their part to fight for the survival space for the nation. In front of all military academies across the country, young students who came to ask for registration for a month were crowded with young students.

"Go to the army! Fight for the living space of the Chinese nation!" This big title, published in the "Central Daily", has become the most popular slogan among young students.

…………………………

"Nonsense! Who wrote this article? What a mess! What "Go to join the army! Fight for the living space of the Chinese nation"? If the country wants to develop greatly and the Chinese nation needs all kinds of talents to expand its living space. Who is this author? So nonsense? Young students have joined the army, how can we succeed in the country's talent supply from all walks of life?"

Shen Congyun was holding the newspaper and humming angry. Liu Ting became more and more proud when she saw it. She looked like a little fox touching the farm chicken cage on her face. She spitted her pink tongue at Shen Congyun, reached out and pointed at her nose, saying, "Sorry, the culprit is in front of you."

At this moment, Shen Congyun lost his temper and could only glar at Liu Ting and said, "How did you send the telegram back? Don't tell me that you used my portable radio station."

Liu Ting smiled and pressed Shen Congyun onto the chair, saying, "My President, how dare I? Your portable radio station is the supreme secret of the country. The telegram was sent to Gaiping. Not to mention your radio station, I didn't dare to do anything. I have a proper position in everything, and I will not intervene in any way."
To be continued...
