Part 5 Chapter 53: Haunting the Supply Line

Although Alexeyev was arrogant, it was not a fool. After experiencing the Battle of Suihua, Alexeyev became a little cautious. The Sixth Army did not retreat blindly on its way south, but instead retreated. The battalion-level blocking was caused every day, and suddenly there was a brigade-level blocking. Find a place with a good terrain and blocked it hard for one day, and retreated when it was dark.

Originally, there was a railway from Jilin to Suihua, but when the Sixth Army retreated, the railway tracks were pulled clean and hidden, and they didn't even let go of the sleepers. They piled together and fired them clean. The people on both sides of the road had long been transferred. The northeast was already vast and sparsely populated. It was harder for the Russian army to replenish supplies on the spot than climbing to the sky.

The difficulties in supply seriously delayed Alexeyev's combat plan. The attack was originally scheduled to be launched in early June, but it was delayed until mid-June, and the supply of the 400,000 troops could barely be fought for a week. For this reason, Alexeyev sent a telegram to the country, requesting to increase the logistics supply in order to complete the supply required to launch the attack by the end of June.

Such a telegram naturally failed to escape the ears of the spies hiding behind enemy lines. Soon a piece of information about the Russian army's difficulties in supply reached the hands of the aftershocks.

After the Sixth Army, which successfully completed the blocking mission, retreated, it drove to a small town according to the military region's wishes to station it and rest. The troops commanded by the three Beiyang heroes were allocated in the total of 100,000 people. When they retreated to Jilin, there were less than 50,000, and half of them were still invited to the wounded. It can be seen that the blocking war in Suihua was difficult. The Russian army fought under the city of Suihua for more than half a month, leaving nearly 100,000 people, and the losses were even more serious. The loss of two to one was considered a waste. This was mainly because the Russian army learned their lessons in the later stages and did not rush to death like the first day, and they would always charge the group to serve as a target for the Sixth Army.

After a Suihua blocking battle, Wang Shizhen and the other three were exhausted. After settling down, they slept hard for three days, and then they completely recovered.

The weather is already warming in mid-June, and the signs of early summer have already shown signs. It is rare to have a day of leisure. Three old Beiyang generals ran to the nearby river with fishing rods.

Among the three, Wang Shizhen's technique was the most proficient. After skillfully hitting the nest, she sat down with a stool, lit a cigarette, and waited patiently for the change of the fish float.

Although it's okay for the time being, the current situation in the Northeast is still the topic that the three of them are most concerned about, and sitting down and speaking is still inseparable from the situation.

"Huafu, you are the Chief of Staff. You can analyze and analyze how the military region will use our Sixth Army next?"

"Yes, Hua Fu, this blocking battle, the three of us are considered as a shame before washing. The military region will no longer treat us as young wives, right?"

When Feng Guozhang heard these two people's words, he said frowningly: "I'll tell you two brothers, where I will go in the future. I'm not the commander of the military region. Please ask me, who will I ask? I still want to know."

The sound of the car engine attracted the eyes of the three of them from afar. They watched the two trucks full of soldiers, and a convoy of cars drove over from afar. With such a big look, it seemed that only three bosses from the military region had it.

The three of them stood up at the same time and threw the fishing rod aside.

The convoy stopped at the entrance of the camp. A soldier with a straight waist and meticulous body came down from the car. The person who came was aftershocks of well-dressed all day long. This problem was caused by studying in Germany. Wang Shizhen and Feng Guozhang looked at Duan Qirui at the same time. This guy also had this problem. The leather shoes on his feet were polished every day.

"Zhiquan, are you all the faults you have returned from studying in Germany? It seems that Qi Chenggong has this problem?" Wang Shizhen joked, and Duan Qirui smiled and said, "This is also a fault? When I was studying in Germany, there were regulations in the military academy. Points would be deducted if I was not dressed in a well-designed manner. As a soldier, this is the minimum requirement. Even in front of millions of enemy troops, I must maintain the proper demeanor." As he said that, Duan Qirui cleverly tidied his collar and walked towards the camp.

Aftershock from the car, he saw these three people walking back at a glance, and immediately came up with a smile. Since the Sixth Army retreated from the front line, aftershock had only met three people once on the first day, and then he was so busy that he had no time. Today, he was still instructed by Chen Congyun to see the three people.

"Three guys are so happy! I've been plaguing military affairs and I've been unable to visit three of you. I'm so lazy." Seeing that the three of them were all wearing casual clothes, they didn't salute even aftershocks, and if they were bowing.

"Commander!" After the three of them bowed and met, they returned to the camp together.

After a simple greeting, aftershocks came to the topic: "Three, the battle in Jilin is about to break out. Three are the strong generals that the president values. The Sixth Army must take a break as soon as possible. The military region has great use."

Wang Shizhen said: "Commander, please rest assured that the Sixth Army will need to be supplemented. I promise that it will restore combat effectiveness within one month."

Aftershock said: "Yesterday, the General Staff and the President called each other to ask about the current situation of the three. At the same time, they highly appreciated the fact that the Sixth Army left some elite troops to continue to deal with each other behind the enemy. Now the Russians are worried about the issue of logistics supply, and the time for launching the Jilin Battle has been delayed again and again. This is very beneficial to our army. Speaking of which, the three of them are properly used to strengthen the walls and clear the field tactics."

Seeing the aftershock praises this, the three of them had psychological shadows. Wang Shizhen quickly stood up and said respectfully: "The commander is wrong. They are all the president and the General Staff have a good leadership, and the General Staff have a proper planning and the military region's command and dispatch. The three of us are just executioners."

Seeing that the three of them were so careful, aftershock couldn't help but laugh: "Three of them are overly worried. The President called and said that you three have worked hard and made great contributions. He personally sent someone to arrange for the three of their families to meet. It is estimated that the train will arrive tomorrow, so I am also a errand to report the news."

When the three of them heard that they were coming for this matter, they finally felt at ease and their expressions became natural. These were all the sequelae left by the past officialdom, and they were very suspicious.

…………………………

Yang Zhi, dressed in casual clothes, rode on a horse with a box cannon and hid in the forest and stared at the road ahead. Yang Zhi was surrounded by three hundred cavalry, and only one hundred of them were veterans brought out of Yang Zhidong's troops, and the others were local security groups. Teams of this size led by Yang Zhi, from Suihua to Jilin, there were more than 30 teams of all sizes, with a total of five or six thousand people. These teams remained behind enemy lines, and their mission was to destroy the Russian army's supply line.

"Battery Commander, here you are here!" A young man jogged over quickly and pointed at the road and shouted.

"What battalion commander? We are bandits now, so we have to be called boss." Yang Zhi laughed and cursed, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn't participate in a good battle. He wanted to leave a robbery, but the deputy commander gave himself the order. Who should I ask for reason?

"Yes, boss. There was a convoy in front of me, with more than a dozen taxis, and dozens of Russians were escorting them. Brothers asked if they would be beaten?"

"What are you fighting? I haven't heard that the Cossack cavalry of the Russians set up a condom to destroy the security team hidden in Sanshilitun? We have to learn a little bit. Take a mortar and a dozen brothers and hide it on the hill ahead. When the Russians' convoy comes over, bombard it with a few cannons to see what's going on."

The young man responded. Yang Zhi cheered up and continued to observe with his telescope. On the road three miles away, more than a dozen big cars slowly came. There were dozens of old men sitting in the car, with a leisurely expression. Yang Zhi was a little careful and carefully observed the forest across the road. As expected, there were shocking birds flying from time to time.

"You can tell at a glance that there is a fraud. The Russians pretend not to be like him!" Yang Zhi cursed fiercely, turned around and greeted the guards and said, "Let the brothers be ready. I will probably pick up the brothers in front of me and hang strings on the landmines. Today I will greet the Russians' cavalry and avenge the brothers in Sanshilitun."

The convoy was getting closer and closer, and continued to move forward swaggeringly on the front road. At this time, a thunderous cannon sounded, and a shell fell into the middle of the convoy, and then two more shells fell down. The Russian convoy was immediately in anger. The animals pulling the cart were frightened and the Russian soldiers raised their guns to shoot.

The mortar in front was shot out with three more shells, and then ran back quickly. At this time, their figures running into the forest were fired by the Russians, and the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the forest across the road.

Seeing that he was brave, Yang Zhi couldn't help but shout with pride: "The landmines are ready, and the tripwires are tied up tightly. As long as the Russian dares to enter the forest, he will greet me to death."

The escort soldiers on the road did not move, four or five hundred Cossack cavalry rushed out of the forest, and chased them up to the team ahead with a whimper.

The team of dozens of people was acting like they were acting, and they rushed into the woods like they were running away in panic.

These Cossack cavalry were arrogant and had no intention of staying at all. They continued to chase the forest. As soon as they reached the edge of the forest, Yang Zhi shouted: "Take the string!"

A mine of mine sounded, and the explosion caused a lot of people to overturn. After the "bandits" hidden in the forest shot and knocked over more than a dozen Cossack cavalrymen, Yang Zhi did not get too entangled and turned around and smiled, "There are many Russians, brothers, let's talk about it!"
