The Northeast has increased its troops in both directions.
The ri army attacked the Russian army in two directions, namely the 1st Army led by General Kuroki Harizaki and the 2nd Army led by Obogong.
The 1st Army launched the Yalu River Crossing Battle and won the first land battle with the Russian army. Then they attacked Phoenix City and encountered the enemy's attack. The Ri army carried out the jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jing
In the early days of the war, the navy used surprise attack tactics to seize the sea control of the Yellow Sea. The 2nd Army landed near the mouth of the Dasha River on the Liaodong Peninsula, and fought fiercely in Nanshan to occupy Dalian Port.
Because the Russian army had a solid position in Nanshan, the army suffered heavy losses and consumed a lot of shells. However, with the support of naval gun strikes, the position was quickly seized and Lushun was isolated.
The 10th Division, which was on standby in a vast area between the 1st Army and the 2nd Army, also carried out landings near Dagushan, and the two landings were completed by the end of the month.
At this time, the 3rd Army, responsible for attacking Lushun, was organized to land on the Liaodong Peninsula in the near future. The commander of the 3rd Army originally wanted Noki Hidun, but unfortunately Noki Hidun died before he succeeded and was buried in Liaoyang City.
The base camp finally decided to be the commander of Prince Fushimimi Sadaki.
The Manchurian Army General Command landed in Dalian, and the commander-in-chief of the Ri Army, Marshal Dashani, personally directed the armies to attack Liaoyang and Lushun.
In this way, the basic situation of the Ri army's advance northward into Liaoyang has been formed.
The Russians had already had a premonition that the Ri army was about to launch a large-scale offensive, and they counterattacked several times. They attempted to disrupt the deployment of the Ri army, but unfortunately they did not play much role.
In Liaoyang City, Kuropatkin, the commander of the Russian Army stationed in Manchuria, has arrived here.
Before the Russian War, Kuropatkin was the Russian Army Minister, and his old superior Sbekolev had sued him: "Alexey Nikolayevich, once the country sometimes,
May you never take the position of commander. Because although you will make good plans, you do not have the strong perseverance to carry it out to the end."
From this we can see that he is too courageous and has a little indecisive style.
In any case, this person has become the commander of the Russian army stationed in Manchuria.
Now, he was standing in front of the combat command room with concern, and on both sides of his head were Russian generals.
They were all Russian commanders who rushed here from all over the country to hold emergency combat meetings. Of course, because Lushun was besieged by the Ri army, the Russian generals from Lushun did not come.
Curopatkin raised his baton, pointed to a giant marching map hanging on the most wall, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the situation is not optimistic!"
The map has detailed the deployment of military deployment between Russia and Russia.
Kuropatkin glanced at the generals and frowned and said, "The Ri army came quickly. The third army attacked the important places of our Lushun, and the second army was from Dalian-Jinzhou-Deli Temple.
Ping, and hit Dashiqiao directly, which is the gateway to Liaoyang, and its first army even drove straight into Liaoyang. From Yalu River - Jiuliancheng - Phoenix City - Lianshan Pass - Ximucheng - Haicheng, came to attack Liaoyang.
Two large armies attacked our Liaoyang at the same time. This is the Ri army that wants to launch a decisive battle in Liaoyang."
"Your Excellency, our total force in these places has reached more than 200,000. Are you still afraid that the Ri army will attack? Since they hope to have a decisive battle, we will have a decisive battle." The commander of the southern Russian army cluster.
Lieutenant General Zarubayev said loudly.
Kuropatkin divided the Russian army into four clusters. The southern cluster was deployed in Haicheng, Gaiping and Yingkou areas. The area defended by this cluster happened to be the offensive direction of the 2nd Army of Ri Army Aobaogong.
The eastern cluster was deployed in Lianshanguan, horse racing and other places, and was commanded by Lieutenant General Zaslich. The defense area of this cluster is the offensive direction of Kuroki Weizhen, the first army of Ri.
The Kantozhou cluster is deployed in Lushun and other places.
In addition, there were direct troops who entered the vicinity of Liaoyang and Fengtian one after another.
The Russian army seems to have strong troops and large numbers, but they need to defend a large area of land, so that the Russian army is scattered in various cities. On the other hand, as the attacking army, it only needs to choose two routes and concentrate the army to break through.
, can form a local military advantage.
Kuropatkinxing was cautious and did not dare to attack, but handed over the initiative to the Ri Army. He also wanted to rely on fortifications to wait for the domestic army to arrive continuously, and wait until it gained absolute strength before doing so.
attack.
However, how could Rijun let him achieve such a good thing?
The ri army has already been pressed over, putting all its troops into the battlefield without leaving any reserve attack.
Regarding Lieutenant General Zarubayev's suggestion, Kuropatkin said helplessly: "It seems that this is the only way. Now the reinforcements have not arrived. We can wait until the ri army attacks Liaoyang before the decisive battle."
A Russian major general whispered: "Your Excellency, if we just confront the Ri army for a moment, we will retreat, which may have a great blow to morale. In my opinion, it is better to fight decisively from the front line of Langzi Mountain to Anshan Station."
The Russian major general pointed to a place on the map and continued: "The terrain here is dangerous, and it is still time to start building fortifications."
Kuropatkin was a little hesitant. On the one hand, this place is indeed a good place, and on the other hand, he wanted to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
"Everyone, what do you think?" Kuropatkin had no choice but to look at the other Russian generals.
The Russian generals were talking for a while. Some agreed to fight in Liaoyang City not far from the Russian general, and some agreed to the Russian major general. In short, the situation was even more chaotic than before.
Kuropatkin was a little upset by the noise. He stood on it and thought about it, took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice: "When will the Fourth Siberian Army arrive?"
"Half a month later!" a staff officer reminded softly.
"Half month!" Kuropatkin pondered for a moment, and made the final decision, overwhelmed the generals' voices and said: "Half month should be before the decisive battle. Since this is the case, we will choose Prodigal Mountain.
The decisive battle was made at the Anshan Station."
The generals stopped arguing, but then, Lieutenant General Rene Khanbu, the commander of the Baikal Cavalry Division, spoke slowly and reminded him: "Your Excellency, there is a farm of the Qing Dynasty Company not far from Langzi Mountain, and we doubt this
Liu Ziqian, the boss behind the company, colluded with Ri himself, so his army was able to appear safely under Liaoyang City and then attack Liaoyang City."
Lie Nie Khanbu, the old boy, after the sneak attack in Liaoyang, not only did not receive punishment from the upper class, but instead had sufficient troops, because he calculated that he would kill Ri army generals such as Nogi Hidian and others to him.
The strategic materials in Liaoyang City were not lost much. Although Liaoyang was temporarily lost, they were soon "recovered" and surrounded and annihilated the main force of a brigade. The Ri son of Lienikhanbu was naturally getting better and better.
Kuropatkin thought about it and said confidently: "Don't worry, I heard from the Rear Admiral Witchft about this matter. He established an intelligence personnel composed of Qing people and had already discovered the news.
I have asked him to remove that Liu Ziqian."
The Russian command system and intelligence departments were a little confused, and the circulation of information was very slow, especially the news between the navy and the army. Since they were two different command systems, it was even slower by several shots.
Rene Khanbu was overjoyed and said, "Your Excellency has removed this hidden danger as soon as you come. It seems that the decisive battle with Ri himself will not be defeated."...)
