Chapter 195: Bright Sword, Tiger Head Mountain, Eighth Change
After seeing this situation, Nicholas III was very angry, so he launched the famous 1900 Massacre in the history of Tsarist Russia, a comprehensive bloody suppression in the country, and the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces from March 1900 to June 1900.
Before the outbreak, the Tsarist Russian army, under the order of Nicholas III, launched a total of 1,311 large-scale bloody repressions. As many as 165,000 people died in the repressions, and the number of injured was incalculable.
According to statistics, the number of people is conservatively estimated at 6.5 million.
But this period of bloody suppression finally had its effect. Under the bloody oppression of Nicholas III, a large number of people had to return to the factory to continue being exploited. However, where there is oppression, there will naturally be resistance. Here it is
This bloody suppression also laid the seeds for the collapse of the Russian Empire.
After the outbreak of large-scale strikes, Tsarist Russia's heavy industry was paralyzed. Therefore, after the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the negotiation conditions proposed by the Far East representatives to Nicholas III were very tempting to the current Tsarist Russia and Nicholas III, because
All countries in the world know that the industrial process in the Far East has now reached the world's leading level, especially in the development of heavy industry.
The Far East's diesel engines and oil refining are at the leading level in the world. However, the Far East has only one condition. It hopes that Tsarist Russia will not participate in the coalition invasion. As long as Tsarist Russia agrees, the Far East is willing to provide Tsarist Russia with part of its production technology. Such a proposal will have a great impact on Tsarist Russia.
There is no harm at all, and it does not affect Tsarist Russia's interests in China after the victory of the coalition forces. Moreover, Tsarist Russia does not have to cause any losses during the coalition invasion. It can also watch the fire from the other side and watch the tigers fight from the mountain.
Nicholas III naturally agreed to the Far East's proposal, but Tsarist Russia still put forward other conditions of its own. For example, the Far East needed to safeguard Tsarist Russia's status and rights in Europe, and asked the Far East to establish mutual assistance and friendly military diplomacy. These Far East would naturally agree, but
Li Ningyu himself is not sure what will happen in the end, because he needs to take it one step at a time.
So why was the battle at Hutoushan fought?
Tsarist Russia, as one of the five great empires in the world, how could Nicholas III be sure that the Far East would not target Tsarist Russia's interests in China first, so he strictly ordered all troops in China to be fully alert to the Far East, which led to the Hutoushan Tsarist Russia
The Army's 17th Infantry Division launched the attack first when the Far East Pioneer Corps advanced towards Shenyang.
The Far East officially entered the mainland without notifying Tsarist Russia and the late Qing government, because once the secret was leaked, the coalition forces of various countries would immediately know the strategic intentions of the Far East, and would most likely immediately march to Beijing from the railway, and the Far East would rush from North Korea to Tianjin.
It took time to reach Beijing and Changchun, so before receiving any intelligence, the 17th Infantry Division of the Tsarist Russian Army first attacked the Far East Army Pioneer Corps.
And Li Ningyu has always been a person who must avenge his vengeance, and this was the first time that the Far East was attacked on a large scale when it entered the mainland. Just a sudden battle caused the Far East Pioneer Corps, and hundreds of soldiers died, so
Li Ningyu immediately announced the mobilization of two field divisions to attack the positions of the 17th Infantry Division of the Russian Army.
The Far East Pioneer Corps, as a high-speed mobile army, did not carry a large number of heavy weapons. It was located in the 17th Infantry Division of the Russian Army. Under the sudden attack, it suffered heavy losses, but Li Ningyu did not mean to blame it because he already knew this. The 17th Infantry Division of the Tsarist Russian Army not only had Hutou Mountain as a position, but also had a large number of heavy weapons.
So he directly ordered the Pioneer Corps to continue advancing towards Shenyang, and Li Ningyu immediately mobilized two field divisions from the Far East to attack the positions of the 17th Infantry Division of the Russian Army. At the same time, he mobilized three field divisions to surround the Tiger Army outside Shenyang City. Head Mountain Highlands.
Although Hutou Mountain is only 110 meters high, there are steep rocks on one side and little soil on the mountain surface, so there is only one passage. Therefore, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a battleground for military strategists. Hutou Mountain is more than 10 kilometers deep from east to west. It is a natural barrier to the east of Shenyang City. Standing on the mountain, you can see most of Shenyang City clearly and clearly. Because the mountain is shaped like a tiger, it is named Hutou Mountain.
The 11th Far East Field Army, and the 9th, 10th, 12th, and 13th are all newly expanded field armies, and the ones responsible for the main attack on Hutou Mountain this time are the main divisions of the 11th Field Army, the 808th Division, and the 809th Division. There were two division commanders, one was Kong Xiaoping, a young military academy graduate, and the other was an older officer transferred from the Fourth Field Army.
What is even more strange is that Kong Xiaoping, commander of the 808th Division, is not an officer who graduated from the Army Command College, but from the Naval Command College.
In fact, there is a little story here. It turns out that Li Ningyu saw that Kong Xiaoping was an officer with special insights into the construction of mechanized corps, so he was ready to appoint him as the commander of three special armored divisions. However, he did not expect that Kong Xiaoping would quit in the end and asked Having experienced this from a grassroots company, Li Ningyu was really impressed.
However, Li Ningyu would not really appoint him as a battalion commander, company commander, etc. In order to be moderate, he appointed Kong Xiaoping as the deputy commander of the 808th Division. However, the 808th Division did not have a division commander, and it also had a deputy division commander and a chief of staff. Li Ningyu's intention, everyone with a discerning eye understands that the position of division commander must be reserved for Kong Xiaoping, so the 808th Division, Kong Xiaoping, the deputy division commander, is exercising the division commander's right to speak out.
The terrain of Hutou Mountain is vulnerable to attack. If a strong attack is adopted, for example, it will cause a large number of casualties, so Kong Xiaoping will not take such stupid measures. However, the 17th Infantry Division of the Tsarist Russian Army is a field force with absolute force. Division, medium-sized artillery can directly penetrate Shenyang City. If the 17th Infantry Division of the Russian Army is not eliminated, Li Ningyu will never be able to enter the city, so the problem before Kong Xiaoping is a bit difficult.
But would Li Ningyu leave it to him if it wasn't difficult?
This time Li Ningyu just wanted to take a good look at Kong Xiaoping's abilities, so he directly ordered that the two field divisions of the attack echelon be directly commanded by Kong Xiaoping. Suddenly, Kong Xiaoping's command authority was equivalent to that of a deputy army commander. Commanding two well-equipped field divisions at the same time is a height that many people cannot reach in their lifetime.
The outer perimeter of Hutoushan was surrounded by three cooperating field divisions. They could not fly out, but they could not surround without fighting. They had to be eliminated quickly, so Kong Xiaoping became entangled with tactical issues. But at this time, Nian The young Jiang Zhongzheng walked into Kong Xiaoping's temporary command post.
