140 Digging for victory with a shovel

The quartermaster said: "Some of our food requisition teams have returned, and some have not."

Nogi Xidian said angrily: "You are a samurai of His Majesty the Emperor, why do you hesitate to speak! What do you mean that some have come back, and some have not come back!"

The quartermaster hurriedly stood at attention, and said respectfully, "Yes, I know my mistake. Recently, the Chinese people seem to be unwilling to cooperate with us, and they are unwilling to sell us food. Moreover, it seems that there have been more bandits recently. They often rode fast horses, and some bandits pretended to be ordinary people and attacked our people."

The quartermaster gritted his teeth again and said: "It's all those idiots in the cabinet, they are all thinking about negotiating with the Qing, so they don't let us kill Chinese civilians, if they didn't get in the way, we would have killed all Chinese people long ago. "

Nogi Xidian sneered: "What do you know? Do you know how greedy those Western ghosts are when we occupy Shengjing? There are also Russian ghosts. They have been sandwiched between us and the Qing Dynasty, wanting to be a fisherman for profit. If it weren't for them, would we have kept so many warriors in Changtu?"

The quartermaster stood at attention, said "Yes!" and fell silent.

After showing off his knowledge, Nogi Xidian was in a good mood, and asked again: "Isn't there still a grain requisition team coming back?"

The quartermaster said again: "It would be better if they didn't come back. The food they requisitioned was not enough. Some food requisitioning teams even ate their own food on the way back. In this way, there would be even less food. , Among many troops, because of the distribution of food, a lot of things happened, and a few were injured, but fortunately no one was killed."

Nogi Xidian said to himself: "Why did these Chinese people suddenly change so much? Could all this have something to do with that Lin Yuan?"

In fact, all of this is due to Chen Fei's activities behind the enemy lines. They not only taught the villagers how to make landmines, gave them raw materials, but also taught them the principles of resisting Japan and saving the country. Because they are facing farmers who have only known to face the loess and back to the sky all their lives, they may not have heard of any words in that sentence.

So Chen Fei and the others told the common people how the Japanese killed, set fire, raped and robbed in the territory of the Qing Dynasty. In addition, Gao Jin sent a housekeeper to follow Chen Fei, and the common people believed Gao Jin. Confidant, naturally very convinced by his words.

What's more, the Japanese food requisition team came at this time, and the unreasonable Japanese soldiers just added a perfect footnote to Fade Chen's words.

Fade Chen also knew that the strength of the common people could not compete with the Japanese army, so he specifically told the common people not to confront the Japanese army head-on. If the Japanese came to grab the food, they should hide the food and move them out, so as not to be caught by the Japanese. I realized that if the Japanese use the soft policy and want to buy food, they will increase the price. In short, it is to make trouble for the Japanese as much as possible without hurting themselves.

Chen Fei and the others also organized a lot of people on the green forest road. This group of people pretended to be bandits and harassed the Japanese army from time to time. Their equipment was far behind the Japanese army. Chen Fei still used the basic idea of ​​guerrilla warfare to find those who left In the camp, a small group of Japanese troops with only a dozen or so individuals fought. After dozens of battles, although they did not cause much casualties to the Japanese army, they made the Japanese army fearful and exhausted.

The common people are grateful to Fade Chen and the others, and naturally their impression of the Qing army has improved a lot. In addition, Fade Chen spread the news of Lin Yuan's deeds everywhere, and many young and middle-aged men found Lin Yuan's barracks and wanted to join Shuai Lin's army. The army, Wu Yuankai and Xiong Tiesheng naturally raised their hands to welcome them, even wanting to raise their feet, but Lin Yuan politely rejected them, because the Qing army is currently insufficiently equipped, and it is difficult to satisfy the veterans with guns and ammunition, and it is even more difficult to equip the new troops.

But they are all here, and if Lin Yuan does not agree, they will not leave. When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly thought of the Huaihai Battle. After the Huaihai Battle, General Chen Yi said when summing up the reasons for the victory of the battle, "Huaihai Battles are launched by the people with small carts." From this sentence, Lin Yuan seems to have found a way to use them to win.

So Lin Yuan left them behind. To their surprise, the weapons they got were not rifles and bullets, or even knives and spears, but shovels and picks.

It turned out that Lin Yuan had been thinking about how to destroy the Japanese army's fortifications outside Panjin City these days. It would definitely not work if the soldiers were forced to charge.

Although Fade Chen posed a great threat to the Japanese transportation lines behind enemy lines, relying on Fade Chen and the others was not enough to starve the Japanese troops in Panjin to death. The Second Infantry Brigade of the Japanese First Division in Liaoyang and Shengjing is about to reinforce Panjin, and the Japanese Third Division stationed by the Yalu River is also moving to Liaoyang and Shengjing.

What confused Lin Yuan the most was that at the moment when the Japanese army was retreating steadily, Japanese Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito actually went to Moscow to have talks with Tsar Nicholas II, and the results of the talks were not announced to the public!After that, the Tsar announced: Russia spent [-] million rubles to speed up the construction of the Siberian Railway!

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I don't know if Tsarist Russia wants to join forces with the Japanese to deal with us. Unfortunately, we don't have a spy agency in Moscow, so it is impossible to get first-hand information. If Tsarist Russia's army travels from Kuanchengzi, Jilin to Changtu If the post road enters the territory of Shengjing and joins forces with the Japanese, then the situation of the battle may be reversed in an instant!"

Lin Yuan made up his mind, and for the present plan, the only way to get rid of Nogi Xidian in front of him as soon as possible, but how to kill Nogi Xidian, the biggest advantage that the Qing army has now is the artillery. Facing the Japanese army without artillery support, his pressure Shooting guns can take advantage!

Originally, the designed range of the mortar could reach 00 meters, but the Qing army lacked advanced optical reconnaissance equipment, and it was a problem to measure the distance and angle. It was perfect, and coupled with the limited technical level of the gunners, they had to close the distance if they wanted to shoot accurately, but how could they get close to the Japanese army?

Lin Yuan thought of using soil work to get close to the Japanese army's positions, and then use mortars to attack the Japanese army, but it was not easy to do so. It is winter now, and the place is already frozen. Soil work requires a lot of manpower, so Lin Yuan I thought of those young people who came to join the army.

He wants to use a shovel to dig a victory!
