At dawn, at a glance, the entire battlefield was densely covered with corpses of Japanese soldiers. The scene was horrifying and horrifying. It made people dare not take another look. Tens of thousands of people were killed on this small battlefield, almost every inch of the land.
There were several frozen corpses on the ground. People could not even believe what happened at dawn. More than 10,000 Japanese soldiers rushed over as if they were committing suicide.
Who can believe that the Japanese army, which is regarded as heroic and capable, would have such a bad moment, losing most of its elite division in a few minutes, and in such a stupid way?
The actual scenes of those so-called famous battles were equally unsightly. The brothers in the Manchuria Infantry Regiment were all very poor. They even didn't let go of the Japanese army's military boots. They collected all the little good things together.
In particular, small items such as kettles and steel lunch boxes are exactly what everyone urgently needs. Sabers, rifles, and belts are all good things, and they must be collected and cleaned.
Song Biao only had machine guns and artillery in his eyes.
After just a few hours, all the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield were stripped naked, dumped in a pile of corpses, poured with tung oil and lit on fire.
The billowing smoke lingered on the battlefield. Song Biao was sitting in front of a bunker in the Japanese position holding his rifle indifferently. He lit a foreign cigarette for himself and looked indifferently at the Sumabao area in the distance. There were still guns there.
The cannon roared and the battle continued.
Li Fugui, brothers from the caravan and the security squadron formed by the Guandong Orions, were sitting next to Song Biao. The teams of Hua Baozi and Zhao Tingzhu were also sitting and standing scattered in the surrounding area. Everyone had seized a large amount of supplies. Everyone
After we had made a sum of cash, we stopped grabbing those worthless things with other brothers.
Those Russians still have some status and money. At least they don't have to compete with the Manchurian infantry regiments to steal the Japanese army's military boots, tents, lunch boxes and other items. The Russians like to ask for the Japanese army's sabers, especially the Japanese swords of generals.
The best Japanese sword was snatched by a recruit from Zhang Yahu's 2nd Infantry Battalion. He almost got into a fight with other brothers over this, but Zhang Yahu finally snatched it away and gave it to Song Biao.
This is Tachimi Naofumi's Izumi Mamoru Kanesada. I don't know which generation he belongs to. Anyway, it is a famous Japanese sword. As for Tachimi Naofumi's body, Song Biao is not very interested. He doesn't care what this gentleman looks like at all.
, I just asked people to wrap them up in tattered quilts alone, and later planned to sell them to the Japanese at a good price and have them deliver them to the Yasukuni Shrine as an offering.
Before Song Biao finished smoking his cigarette, Major Kornilov hurried over with his men to find him.
Seeing Song Biao, Major Kornilov smiled happily and said: "Song, let's go back to the command post. Your Majesty the General will give you the highest reward!"
"Yeah?"
Song Biao was dubious and thought it would be better to get some actual reward. If it was some bullshit medal or something, then forget it.
He nodded and said: "Then go back and see His Excellency General Mishuchenko!"
Saying this, he waved and returned to the position with the security squadron that had been following him. Anyway, he had almost grabbed everything that should be grabbed. The eleven Hotchkiss machine guns that had long been out of bullets were all his.
of.
Returning to the position command post, still in the slightly crowded bunker, General Mishuchenko was laughing and discussing the decisive surprise battle at dawn with several other Russian generals.
They talked with great joy, as if everyone had experienced it personally, and even more as if it was their achievement.
Seeing Song Biao, General Mishuqinke stood up to greet him personally and said with a smile: "Our senior staff officer has returned in triumph, and the harvest is not small, right? Song?"
Song Biao chuckled and replied: "It's pretty good. There are a few Japanese 31-type rapid-fire field guns, but there aren't many shells."
General Mishuchenko nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I have asked the adjutant to report to the headquarters and praise the extraordinary role of your Manchurian Infantry Regiment. It can be said that you are simply the natural enemy of the Japanese army, especially in response to the Japanese night offensive.
They have very clever methods. I think that after experiencing this battle, our experience must be fully promoted to the entire Far East Army. If the Japanese still think that their offensive at night is invincible, then we will definitely continue to be so fierce.
Teach them a lesson."
Song Biao responded: "Yes, yes, as long as we find the right methods and strategies, the Japanese army's night bayonet offensive is still very easy to break."
General Mishuchenko smiled and asked Song Biao to sit down, and then said: "I have made a decision. After this battle, the main spoils will belong to your Manchurian Infantry Regiment. In addition, I want to keep you here."
When you participate in subsequent operations, I will also send someone to explain to Brigadier General Madnidorf. Before that, I hope to hear your own thoughts."
Song Biao thought for a while and said: "After all, our department has just been formed and lacks sufficient training. Only a small number of forces can participate in direct battles. If we continue to stay, our department can only engage in fortification construction and transportation as much as possible.
It’s not advisable to get too involved in fighting during work.”
General Mishuchenko replied: "You can rest assured that I will pay special attention to giving preferential treatment to your unit. After all, it has just been formed and I am not in a hurry to participate in large-scale battles. If you do not reject it, I plan to send the Second Siberian Army to
The Udinsk Infantry Regiment is assigned to your command. This regiment is mainly composed of hunters from Siberia and Transbaikal regions and has strong field combat capabilities."
Song Biao guessed that General Mishuchenko still intended to give full play to the role of the Manchurian Infantry Regiment, and the transfer of the 2nd Seudinsk Infantry Regiment was also to make up for the Manchurian Infantry Regiment's lack of combat capabilities.
He thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "This will obviously be better."
General Mishuchenko smiled happily and said: "That's good. I was worried that you would immediately leave the front line with your troops. Since you want to stay and continue to fight with us, let's talk about your follow-up thoughts.
Right? Before you speak, I would like to state that our priority is to deal with the defense forces in the Shendan Fort area. As for the new forces deployed by the Japanese army on the southern line of Suma Fort, it is not our main attack direction for the time being. "
Song Biao still didn't know whether the southern front was really the fifth division of the Japanese army. The battle map was on the table. He took a closer look, picked up a pencil and drew a circle behind Shendan Fort, and said: "Our army should now
The troops were quickly divided into two fronts: the northern and southern fronts. The southern front was left to guard Heigoutai, Sumabao and Toupaotun. To increase the construction of fortifications, it was necessary to use smaller forces to delay the Japanese army for a long time. The northern front served as the main force.
, quickly inserted into the rear of Shendan Fort's defense line, and surrounded Shendan Fort with the two infantry divisions deployed by the Second Army in the Liutiaokou area. To capture Shendan Fort, artillery was necessary, which required the unified deployment of the Second Army.
.My thoughts are still consistent. War is always deception. Let the two infantry divisions of Liutiaokou strengthen their attacks and encircle them on three sides as much as possible, forcing the Japanese troops to disperse and deploy. Then use powerful artillery fire to bombard the Japanese positions and dispatch our troops.
Small-scale troops raided the Japanese rear defense to provide cover. In fact, the Japanese defense layout at Shendan Fort was flawed. They had large-scale defenses on the north, east and west sides, and mainly relied on a local farmer on the south side.
The self-built small fortress serves as a defensive fortress. If we can mobilize an elite force to directly capture the small fort at night, the Japanese army's three lines of defense in Shendan Fort will be cut open, and we can easily eliminate them one by one."
General Mishuchenko was very satisfied with what he heard. He knew that Song Biao, an Asian, was very smart and understood the Japanese opponent extremely well. He guessed that this was probably the similarity between Asians.
He happily nodded in agreement and said: "Your idea is very good, then let us do it. I guarantee that as long as our army takes Shendan Fort, your troops can return to Fengtian City for repairs first."
Song Biao felt that this proposal was a good one, because he had very little interest in the Russo-Japanese War, and no matter what the final outcome was, it would not have a great impact on him.
After the meeting with General Mishuchenko, Song Biao led the team back to the battlefield and asked Zhao Tingzhu to be responsible for accounting for all the spoils of war, and those that should go to individuals should go to individuals, and those that should go to the public should go to the public.
Because the number of items was too large and too messy, it was not until that night that Zhao Tingzhu submitted the final list to Song Biao. The harvest was good, with 8 Type 31 rapid-fire field guns and 11 Hotchkiss machine guns seized. 14,200 thirty rifles, 57 British hand grenades, four crude mortars, 17,500 marching quilts and tents, 22 four-wheeled freight carts, and a total of 357 war horses and draft horses, additional items were collected Fifty thousand yen and foreign dollars.
The rest, such as military boots, lunch boxes, backpacks, waist bags, etc., are counted in tens of thousands. The Russian army will not snatch these worthless things from them. The Russian army only snatches sabers and bayonets, and about half of them are for souvenirs. They seized 14,000 rifles, but only more than 5,000 bayonets were provided.
General Mishuchenko knew very well that Song Biao's Manchurian Infantry Regiment was not of the same mind as the Russians, and was helping the Russians fight to gain benefits. Although the supplies seized by Song Biao were a bit excessive, they took almost all the benefits. General Shuqinke didn't care either.
There are a lot of guns, but very few bullets. It's pitiful.
All the bullets of the 11 Hotchkiss machine guns were fired, and the Eighth Division also attacked to the point of running out of ammunition and food. It still has such a strong will. It can only be said that the Japanese army is really difficult to deal with. If it were the Russian army, , not to mention being able to charge to the death, almost all the people were running away before the Japanese army came over.
After reading the list, Song Biao asked Zhao Tingzhu to call all the other brothers over. There was nothing new to do at this time, and everyone arrived quickly. There were many battalion commanders, group captains, and squadron leaders, including Lao Jintou. Came here too.
Everyone was very happy when they met, and they were even more excited to see Song Biao.
Two kerosene lamps were lit in the temporary command post. Song Biao was in a good mood. He asked everyone to sit down with a smile and passed on the list compiled by Zhao Tingzhu. Every brother took a look.
Once they saw the specific list number, everyone became even happier.
Xue Changqing couldn't help but admired: "Master, we have made so much with one hand. The ordinary bandits and horse thieves in Guandong can no longer keep up with us. The number of rifles in our hands is close to 20,000. This is What a rich family, haha! There is no mountain master in Guandong that can compare with us, right, brothers?"
"Ha ha!"
Everyone laughed enthusiastically, and Zhang Yahu even slapped the table and said to Song Biao: "You are the one who is in charge, you are so wise and powerful. We brothers were originally worried that we would die in battle, but we didn't expect to earn so much." , Okay. Isn’t the little Japan very good now? Let’s continue to beat them. Beating them will make more damn money than beating the Russians!”
"Haha, that's right!"
Hua Baozi wiped his sleeves fiercely and said: "Masters, if we follow the big boss, then we will not be very popular in the future. We have even killed tens of thousands of people in Japan, including the Hunan Army and the Huai Army of the imperial court.
Can the new army from Beiyang match our momentum?"
Song Biao smiled, as long as the brothers are happy.
After everyone circulated it around and the detailed list was finally passed back to him, he and Lao Jintou told him: "Old Jintou, you should make preparations tonight and reorganize the cavalry team, and we will start tomorrow morning."
Drag all the things we captured back to Yangguantun and find a few warehouses there to store them. Although these rifles and artillery have no ammunition at the moment, they will definitely be put to use in the future."
Lao Jintou smiled and said: "Okay, I have already started to do things. It is not a problem to have so many things piled up here. It just so happens that our cavalry team is large and we can drag them back in one go."
Xue Changqing said: "Master, since we have so many guns, why not organize a large team of 20,000 people?"
Song Biao shook his head and said: "This morning, General Mishuchenko talked to me and hoped that we would continue to stay and fight with them. I considered it and agreed to the general's suggestion. But having said that, this time we
That is to say, by luck, we met a Japanese commander who thought he was very smart. If the other party insisted on fighting us in a positional battle, and our regiment had a one-on-one battle with their Japanese troops, without the Russian troops rushing in front as the main force, we would not have been able to fight for two days at all.
I can't hold on. The battle was won and things were robbed, but the truth behind this must be understood. Actually, my idea is to withdraw from the battlefield after the Japanese troops in Shendan Fort are defeated, and find a way to return to Fengtian City to garrison
, we can deal with the bandit troops with peace of mind later, and there is no chance of a real head-on confrontation with the Japanese army. Think about it, both sides have hundreds of thousands of large troops hoarded between Liaoyang and Shenyang cities. Sooner or later, a large-scale decisive battle will break out between the two sides. With our few manpower
What's the big deal if we're caught in the middle? If we really fight hard, we might not even know how to die. So, we can only go to Shendan Fort. This battle at Heigou Terrace, I'm afraid
From the beginning, I believed that the Japanese troops were going to come up and die, which was similar to the situation we encountered in Qiandongling. I just did it a little more ruthlessly and was more prepared. But in Shendan Fort, the situation was different."
At this point, he and Zhang Yahu and Zhao Tingzhu added: "Huzi, Zhuzi, pick out the bravest and most astute brothers in your two battalions. I will form a team and gather them all temporarily in my camp."
In the security squadron, I am thinking of organizing some small-scale training in these two days to deal with Shendan Fort."
Zhang Yahu nodded and asked: "Master, do you want me to go over there and deal with the little Japanese in Shendan Castle together?"
Song Biao thought for a moment and replied: "No, there will be appropriate arrangements when the time comes. When we fought against Japan, we always waited for them to die on their own. The situation in Shendan Fort is quite special. I have a new way!"
Hearing what he said, everyone felt very happy.
Since following Song Biao, the Song family army has really made a fortune fighting all the way from Dongling to Heigoutai. This has helped the Russian army destroy an elite division of the Japanese army. But the leaders here still don't understand what happened.
As for the thresholds for joining the army, they didn't understand clearly, so they just followed Song Biao to make a fortune.
Xue Changqing asked Song Biao: "Master, I have a dozen brothers here who are really good at fighting and have enough skills. Why don't we make up the number together?"
Song Biao thought for a while and said: "Okay, as long as you can fight."
After a pause, he and his brothers added: "Except for the engineer battalion, which continues to build defense lines, the other teams should have nothing to do in the past two days. They should seize the time to organize themselves. During the day, they will teach the brothers how to continue shooting. At night, you guys
Come and join me in the drill training."
When everyone heard this, they all felt good about it, agreed one after another, and looked forward to it in their hearts.
