It is normal for the Japanese army to have rubles. It is nothing more than loot picked up in Liaoyang. It is more special if it is not registered in the account. It is obvious that the Japanese generals are preparing to divide it up privately. This kind of thing is normal in all wars.
.
Song Biao told Zhang Yahu not to make any noise and just continue to lead the team to defend the South Camp. He would turn around and deal with the affairs of the South Camp when he captured Liumuling.
After Zhang Yahu left quietly, Song Biao personally led the team to the Liumuling front line. As for how much ammunition, supplies and banknotes the Nanda Camp had, it is still unclear, but Song Biao knew in his heart. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that it was absolutely
There won't be any less.
I'm afraid the Japanese army knew better.
At this time, the Japanese Liumuling position had been surrounded by Song Biao's Manchurian Infantry Division. Colonel Brusilov implemented a blockade on the west and north sides, while Song Biao led the team to guard the east and south sides, with Shuangshutun in the middle.
A battalion of troops was deployed to guard the area, cutting off the connection between Liumuling and the Japanese garrison in Liaoyang.
Liumuling is a large earth slope, only about 70 meters high relative to the surrounding area, one kilometer long from north to south, and about 400 meters wide from east to west. Places like this are generally not called Lingzi in the Northeast, but "Tai", something like
Afterwards, places like this in the Northeast were basically razed to the ground and mechanized large-scale agriculture was implemented.
The most famous one is Heigoutai. Song Biao visited it when he was transferred to the Northeast to serve as a soldier. It has long been turned into an extremely flat wheat field.
Compared with Heigou Terrace, Wangshui Terrace and other places, Liumuling is called a ridge because it is more than 70 meters high after all. However, in terms of overall tactical significance, this is not a very good high ground. The main reason is that it is
The slope is too gentle.
After Song Biao arrived, the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments of Seshandinsk arrived one after another, and the entire army quietly began to reorganize. The Japanese army must have known that the Russian army would launch a night offensive at night. At least under Song Biao, the Russian army's night offensive was
It's very powerful. The Japanese army suffered heavy losses last night.
Since they were definitely prepared, Song Biao did not intend to conduct a concealed attack and directly asked Lieutenant Colonel Pajelov's artillery regiment to carry out a covering strike.
In order to cooperate with long-distance maneuvering, the Manchurian Infantry Division is equipped with two types of artillery. One is the Russian m1902 76mm field gun, also known as the Lucia three-inch field gun, and the other is the m1904 76mm mountain gun. The former
The number is only 16. The technical parameters of the latter are almost the same as those of the Japanese 31-type mountain gun. This is a mountain gun that Russia purchased directly from the French Schneider Company. There are not many in the Russian army.
Since there were many captured 31-type mountain cannons and artillery shells, and the Lucia three-inch field cannon was more important, Song Biao only used the Russian 76mm mountain cannon for fire suppression this time. Since the muzzle velocity of the shells was still lower than the speed of sound, the sound seemed
Extremely dull.
Now they not only want to attack the Japanese positions, but also actually prevent the Japanese from breaking out. Before Song Biao arrived, the Russian army had already deployed a dense firepower network on the position, and a large number of machine guns were deployed here.
Artillery fire roared on Liumuling. At this moment, Song Biao's memory seemed to go back to the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam that he was not familiar with. It is said that at that time, the artillery fire from both sides was intensive and artillery shells collided in the sky.
In this short period of tens of seconds, the Russian artillery fire spread from the Japanese forward position all the way back. The distant positions were filled with shining flames from the explosions, covering the entire position in groups.
While being covered by artillery fire, the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments of Seshandinsk also sent a small advance team to test and conduct reconnaissance. However, just when Chen Wu was about to lead a company to rush forward in person, the Japanese army's position
Suddenly there was an astonishing shout of "Saipan", and a large number of Japanese soldiers, led by the regiment flag, rushed down all the way. The direction happened to be pointed directly to the left side of Song Biao's position.
The Japanese army is going to break out towards the Liumugou area!!
Song Biao, who was communicating with Major Baron von Eske and Chen Wu to coordinate their advance, was greatly shocked. He immediately pushed Chen Wu and said: "Quick. Stop me quickly!"
Chen Wu was also surprised and did not expect that the Japanese army would break through at this moment.
At this time, it was too late to notify the artillery regiment to adjust the fire coverage point. Song Biao immediately asked each company to use mortars to launch emergency flares, and the machine gunners of each company focused on the past, even if they could not see the specific target, they would still be under artillery fire.
Generally find a suitable direction in the firelight.
Bang, bang, bang.
Several flares were fired first, and bursts of bright blue light shone from the position on the south side of Liumuling, illuminating the front of the position. At this moment, more than a dozen Maxim machine guns and four Hotchkiss machine guns erupted simultaneously.
Da da da…….
When so many machine guns erupt at the same time, this is the only sound that can be heard in the world. All other sounds have been covered up, and the hot bullet lines are like countless in the blue light.
A faint red thread.
The dense ammunition fired on the land, kicking up thousands of large chunks of soil mixed with weeds. Everything on the entire position seemed to be torn apart. The hundreds of cavalry charging ahead quickly fell to the ground, followed closely.
The Japanese soldiers who followed also began to fall down like wheat.
No matter how powerful the army is or how clever the opponent is, when a battle reaches this level, it will be so terrifying.
That group of Japanese troops was about two hundred meters away from Song Biao, heading in different directions. He couldn't clearly see the number of the other side until more flares were fired into the sky, and the entire position was already as bright as day.
Only then did Biao know that it was a force of more than 3,000 people, including the remnants of an infantry regiment. There were more staff generals in their thirties and forties, as well as transport corps, communications corps and the like. Some of them
Not even a rifle.
Even though the road they rushed down was already a fatal one, they still rushed down without hesitation and had the firm will to try to protect the people in the middle. In the middle was a short fat man holding high the flag of the "Imperial Japanese Manchurian Army" and wearing a
Wearing a black military uniform, time is not forgiving, and his white hair has long been as snowy as frost.
Just an old, evil-minded, fat man, and an old warrior loyal to his self-belief and the emperor.
The commanders of both sides of the Liaoyang raid had probably not expected that this Liaoyang raid would happen. Humpty Dumpty had to face the reality even if he was extremely puzzled and confused. The reality was so cruel that he encountered the most cruel thing.
Bad luck.
At least this night, the Japanese no longer had that kind of super weird luck.
Song Biao suddenly had a mysterious feeling. He was originally prepared for battle and personally led the troops to attack. He could only pick up the Zero-3 rifle hanging on his shoulder, load it, and aim it at the man named Dashan in the scope.
The chubby old general of the rock.
There are still so many soldiers around the mountain rock. It seems that they continue to use the power of human shield to send the dead fat man and the military flag away. The flag seems to be more important to them than anything else.
Dashanyan's expression was so solemn that it even made Song Biao unhappy. But Song Biao still pulled the trigger.
Bang, bang, bang.
Song Biao fired three times in a row before smashing Dashanyan's head with one bullet at this distance. He only hit once in three rounds, but once in the brain.
Bang.
This sound was so short, and in the ears of the dozen or so generals and staff officers around Dashanyan who were at least at the rank of colonel, this sound was so long, as if it was as far away as a lifetime.
Field Marshal Oyama Iwa of the Imperial Japanese Army, Oyama Iwa, who was called "Oyama of the Land and Togo of the Sea" by the Japanese, died just like that.
Maybe he was just a fat guy. He had just landed in the Liaodong Peninsula during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and couldn't wait to force the locals to learn Japanese in order to implement Japanese culture in the Liaodong Peninsula.
In short, for the Japanese, Oyamayan is the god of their nation and the greatest pride in history, because it was this man who led Japan to defeat China and Tsarist Russia. It was this man who started the massacre against China.
.It was this man who led Japan to take the first and second steps of invading China.
To the Japanese, Oyama Iwa is Japan’s national idol.
To the Chinese, Dashanyan is a piece of shit.
Bang.
Bang Song Biao continued to shoot. He found the feeling and kept shooting. He didn't even care whether these Japanese soldiers could break through. He was too lazy to direct. He just aimed at everyone he could and kept shooting.
In this way, he inspired the soldiers around him.
All that is needed at this moment is to shoot.
Even when Song Biao targeted Nobujun Aoki, who had just changed his rank to major general, in the Japanese army, he shot and killed him without any hesitation. Perhaps because of the death of such a person, he lost the middleman to contact Yuan Shikai.
Does he still need to look at Yuan Shikai's face today?
Song Biao actually didn't have too many emotions. Whether he hated the Japanese or regretted them, it didn't matter anymore. The initial gnashing of hatred had become indifferent. As long as the other party was a Japanese soldier, he would
Their mission is to kill them first as much as possible.
That's all.
While shooting enemy soldiers one after another, Song Biao suddenly had an inspiring idea. He thought, if there is a mysterious force in the universe, maybe the Japanese people's ridiculous good luck after the Meiji period could be the reason for this.
It's like the universe's punishment for the Chinese people's waste of talent. The universe has been so kind to China, but it has been wasted too much.
Our nation has wasted too much time and deserves to be punished by the universe.
It may not be necessary now.
Because of my existence?
Song Biao thought exactly like this, and mechanically fired again until there were no more targets to kill on the other side.
What is the most important thing in the Imperial Japanese Army?
There is no doubt that it is a military flag, because it was given by the so-called Emperor himself. A guy like Nori Nori, who is regarded as a military god by the Japanese, had to repent for losing the regiment flag until he committed suicide.
Now, the banner of the Japanese Manchurian Army slipped to the ground in front of Song Biao's eyes, covering the ground with corpses and stained with bright red blood.
Song Biao looked at all this indifferently and thought, it's time for the Japanese to know what a true military god is. He will achieve the position of a true military god in his life and let the Japanese go home and repent collectively.
, don’t assign divine positions randomly if there is nothing to do.
The battlefield is where anything can happen.
The battle is over. The artillery regiment that has not received any news is still there and continues to bombard the position according to the battle plan. The firelight is still burning and flickering on the top of the hillside. In every moment of light, the Japanese army discards corpses all over the hillside.
It's that obvious.
Song Biao waved and put Major Baron von Eske in charge of cleaning the battlefield, and asked Major Eske to collect the flag and the trophies on Dashanyan and leave them to him.
For Song Biao, he had more important things to do, such as going to Nanda Camp to find out how many real trophies he had harvested, and autopsy was really not in line with his personality.
When Song Biao brought his guard company back to the South Camp, Zhang Yahu and Cai E were lighting more than a dozen kerosene lamps and counting currencies in a low-key manner, including Japanese yen and rubles. Who would have the opportunity to be assigned to such a job?
The brothers are naturally the ones with the most senior qualifications. In particular, one of Zhang Yahu's teams was recruited from the Nandian Village, and they are doing these things.
Seeing Song Biao, everyone immediately stood up and saluted.
Song Biao returned the greeting coldly and said: "First of all, let me tell you some good news. The main garrison of the Japanese Manchurian Army in Liaoyang has been basically eradicated. The only ones left now are the few thousand people left in the county."
Zhang Yahu suddenly became excited and said: "Master, let me deal with those people?"
Song Biao hummed noncommittally, but then asked him: "Why are you excited about the Russians' war?"
Zhang Yahu chuckled and said: "Kill little Japan."
Song Biao still made a strange sound and said, "It's not good to kill too many people!"
Zhang Yahu thought for a moment, but didn't understand.
Cai E, who was counting the ruble notes, sighed and said: "Master, you are really right!"
Cai E's ideological education work has not been done yet, and Song Biao is not in a hurry. The days are long anyway, and he is not afraid that this person will run away. In fact, even if he runs away, it doesn't matter much.
Cai E stood up again and said: "Master, we have done some counting here. The specific amount is still unclear, but we can already estimate the ruble notes. The amount is really quite a lot. It is almost six million rubles. In exchange for
It’s 125,000 taels worth of gold, which is a huge fortune.”
Song Biao didn't care too much and said: "Russia has six to seven hundred tons of gold reserves. 125,000 taels of gold is only 4.5 tons of gold. What a huge wealth. Of course, we are still relatively weak now. Can we steal from the Japanese?"
It’s not easy to get this money.”
Cai E looked particularly shocked when he heard this. He really didn't know how high Song Biao's ambition was. He didn't even take 4.5 tons of gold seriously.
He really didn't understand Song Biao's heart.
When Song Biao said this, he had already begun to discuss the issue of Russia's more than 600 tons of gold reserves. The gold reserves of the Tsarist Russian Empire that were transferred to the Far East in the late October Revolution were indeed taken advantage of by the Japanese Army.
Robbery, but Japan has always claimed that there is no such thing.
It was a strange incident, but Song Biao would probably never leave such a good thing to the Japanese army again.
Song Biao had never thought that the income from the raid on Liaoyang could be so great before. He estimated that he could have a basic payment of 20 million yen, and the extra 10 million rubles were purely ill-gotten gains. In other words, this ruble amount was originally
It was given to the Japanese army by the Russians in vain during the Liaoyang defeat. The amount may be even larger, but now it has been divided up a lot by the famous Japanese generals.
As for the amount of ammunition hoarded by the Japanese army in Liaoyang, it must be quite large. At least the batch of arms and supplies left behind by the Russian army's defeat at that time was a very astonishing amount. Coupled with the Japanese army's own reserves, the total should be astonishing.
?
Unfortunately, it was dark, so there was no way to do a detailed count. The only things that we had to count clearly were real money and banknotes.
Although there are still very important things to do, the work of counting money is also very important.
Song Biao didn't go anywhere. He closed the door and counted the specific amounts with his brothers in the yard. There were Japanese silver dollars and Japanese yen in the Japanese army's warehouse. These are two concepts of currency. The former is a silver standard and the latter is a gold standard.
During this period, Japan adopted a monetary standard policy of mixed gold and silver. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, with the support of the Qing government's huge indemnity, Japan briefly adopted a pure gold standard, but it soon fell into disrepair due to Coolidge's
Prosperity (loose money supply and prosperity) led to the country's economic crisis, and it was forced to re-mint silver coins on a large scale in Meiji 34.
Japan's shrewdness and cunning was to adopt a fake gold standard in response to the weakness of its national power. It used the gold standard for foreign countries and European and American powers, and the silver standard for domestic and Asian countries. It was not until the end of World War I that Japan became a creditor nation.
A true gold standard.
Japan continues to use Japanese silver yuan domestically, and its yen banknotes are Japanese gold yuan notes, which correspond to gold. Each Japanese gold yuan note is equivalent to 0.75 grams of gold, which is approximately 1/10 of a pound, or 1/2 of a U.S. dollar.
Therefore, half of the "wartime allowance" in the military pay reserve in the Japanese Manchuria Army General Affairs Depot is Japanese silver dollars, and half is Japanese yen, which makes the liquidation work even more arduous.
Because they were allocated by the Japanese Army Headquarters, they were a whole batch of Japanese thirty-six-year-old small silver coins. The printing and casting process was very sophisticated. Each coin weighed 26.96 grams, contained 90% silver, and was extremely uniform in color.
This small version of the silver dollar is called the Japanese Long Yang, or the Oriental Dayang. It is difficult to calculate in China. The foreign dollars and silver dollars we usually talk about in China are Mexican silver dollars. This silver dollar is exactly equivalent to 0.75 taels of Qing government treasury silver, three
A Ying Yang was exchanged for 2 taels of Kuping silver, while the Japanese small version of Long Yang was worth about 0.65 taels of Qing government Kuping silver.
One yen per day is equivalent to approximately 1.4286 taels of Qing government Kuping silver.
Cai E has lived in Japan, and he is very familiar with the exchange between Japanese yen and Japanese silver dollars. Generally, in Japan, 2.2 silver dollars are exchanged for a Japanese gold dollar coupon. However, Japanese gold dollar coupons are of very little use in Japan.
, almost invisible.
More than 60 people were counted here, and it took a full two hours to finally calculate the specific number. The total portion of the Japanese army's military pay reserves that had been seized was about 21.58 million yen, and the Japanese army's more than 20 million small-plate Meiji III coins.
Although the sixteen-year-old silver coins are beautifully printed, they are still far less valuable than the gold coins.
After counting, Song Biao asked Li Dayun to collect all the ruble notes and Japanese gold yuan coupons first. The remaining Japanese silver yuan remained in the warehouse, and Zhang Yahu's Nandian company was still responsible for guarding it.
This money must be too important to Song Biao. He knew that if he could defeat the Japanese counterattack and finally defeat the Japanese army here, his future would no longer be a small Jilin left wing of the Qing government.
Battalion commander is so simple.
To put it bluntly, even whether he is willing to take a job in the Qing government depends on how high the price the government can afford. If the price is lower, he will lead a large army of 60,000 to 70,000 men to dominate the Northeast.
I don’t know where the Qing Dynasty will put its last bit of dignity.!~!
