From the actual military level, except for Feng Delin’s troops, the whole western Liaoning defense needs Zhao Dong Yunshou troops to undertake the task. Because the third town is not easy to act rashly, it can rely on Jinzhou patrol battalion, which is also a great challenge to the limited strength of Jinzhou patrol battalion.

If you want to solve the problem of prevention in counties in western Liaoning, you have to solve the problem from the root. He turned and asked Lin Yong, "What about preparing new recruits for the first HunChengAssociation?" When can I practice? "
The first mixed association in Zhao Dongyun’s mouth is Jinzhou Scout Camp. Here, it has to be said that Jinzhou Scout Camp is a military name, which is the same concept as the Huai Army Shengzi Camp, Suyi Pro-Army, Yuanzi Camp now Beiyang Standing Army, Wuwei Right Army, Wuwei Right Army Pioneer and Self-improvement Army. Because this title is the training place of the imperial Ministry of War, it is officially recognized by the imperial court. This name cannot be changed arbitrarily.
However, Zhao Dongyun did not want to directly change the Jinzhou Mixed Association when he wanted to expand Jinzhou Scout Battalion, which made it difficult to expand the army after the establishment was fixed. It was simply that the head of Jinzhou Scout Battalion set up a First Mixed Association, and Meng Enyuan, the leader of this mixed association, did not mean that Jinzhou Mixed Association was in charge, but that Jinzhou Scout Battalion was in charge of the first mixed association.
Jinzhou Scout Camp and Jinzhou Scout Camp First Mixed Association are not the same concept, but the former governs the latter.
But it’s just a name trick. It’s convenient for Zhao Dongyun to expand his army and make it practical. Jinzhou Scout Camp has a first mixed association, otherwise Zhao Dongyun wouldn’t have put Meng Enyuan in charge of Jinzhou Scout Camp.
Jinzhou Scout Camp is Zhao Dongyun’s supervisor Meng Enyuan’s general office and director of the First Mixed Association Lin Yong’s general office. The supervisor, general office and general office can be generally recognized as the highest person in charge, the actual person in charge and the person in charge of assistance.
In the late Qing Dynasty, supervision was the largest general office in all kinds of institutions.
Lin Yong, the third town, has many responsibilities. He is not only the organizer of Jinzhou patrol camp, but also the general manager of the education department of the third town. Naturally, he manages this recruitment and training.
Facing Zhao Dongyun’s question, Lin Yong immediately said, "Last month, we recruited about 600 recruits in Zhili, and a number of conscripts were set up on the ground in western Liaoning. However, the situation in western Liaoning is too chaotic, and it is difficult to find a good family. We have raised more than 500 people and we have retained recruits before, but most of them have also carried out basic training. There are not many recruits these days!"
Lin Yong continued, "We will give 400 recruits to Jinzhou Scout Camp next month, and it is estimated that we can give about 600 recruits this month. It is estimated that there will be about 1,000 recruits this month!"
Zhao Dongyun showed satisfaction when he heard him say this. Although Lin Yong’s ability in other aspects is generally low, the third town is at the bottom of the high-rise. The third town casually pulls out a uniform-level officer who is better than him, but this man is quite good at recruiting and training new recruits. In recent years, he has helped Zhao Dongyun recruit and trained ten thousand new recruits.
At this time, Zhao Dongyun asked Meng Enyuan again, "Since many new recruits have arrived, how many battalions have you trained here?" rg
Chapter one hundred and thirty Lushun assault
Different from the recruitment of recruits in the third town of Beiyang, which belongs to the management category of the conscription department of the Education Department, all institutions and units cannot recruit recruits privately, and it takes one and a half months for the recruits to be supplemented with nutrition and trained physically. The division of labor is that the new barracks of the Education Department is responsible for the initial training, and then the qualified recruits will be allocated to all units for follow-up training in military skills and physical fitness.
Therefore, daily training is still an important responsibility for the chief officers of the army, not just to be able to fight.
Meng Enyuan said, "Most of the recruits added last month were added to the engineering and trench teams. This month, I newly transferred recruits to form the fourth battalion of the infantry team. Although it is barely fighting, it should be able to barely fight after several months of training!"
"So now it’s three infantry battalions, one riding battalion and one artillery battalion?" Zhao Dongyun is somewhat dissatisfied with the expansion of Jinzhou Scout Camp. After several months, there is still not much achievement. According to this rate, it is estimated that it will not be completely completed until the end of the year.
Meng Enyuan also recognized Zhao Dongyun’s dissatisfaction, but he couldn’t help it. This expansion is just to open his mouth. Let’s not talk about the problems of classics and ordnance. It will not take you a day or two to recruit soldiers. It will take less than half a month to transport new recruits from Zhili and Shandong to Jinzhou, and then the education department will have to train recruits for another month and a half. It will take him two months before Meng Enyuan can see the recruits needed for the expansion.
But he didn’t delay the recruits’ arrival, and he enriched them into various units. Not only did he set up a trench team and an engineering team, but he also set up a fourth battalion of a infantry team. This kind of work performance is not too slow.
However, on this occasion today, Zhao Dongyun is not suitable for arguing, and he is not unaware of this. He is dissatisfied with the fact that there are too few troops now.
Zhao Dongyun once again put his eyes back on the map and said, "Xinmin can put a step camp here, Liaozhong can put a step camp there, and then put a step camp there, so that all three lines can be integrated. Let’s station in Tai’ an for the reserve team to swim!"
This remark is also a general arrangement. This arrangement is based on the strength of troops. As a result, all the existing three infantry battalions of Jinzhou Scout Battalion were released because of such a visitor. The main defense line here in Jinzhou has no cooperation with the troops of Jinzhou Scout Battalion.
If we want to strengthen Jinzhou’s defense line, we can wait for the infantry battalions after Jinzhou’s scout battalion is expanded.
Zhao Dongyun continued after saying, "But now there are quite a few bandits in Xinmin House, and Jin Wanfu is still riding the camp with Lu Shuangqiang there. For the time being, let’s stay there for a few months and straighten out Xinmin House before we go!"
Although Zhang Lin in Xinmin House has been destroyed, Jin Wanfu and Wang Xiaobian, two men with hundreds of cavalry, are still there. The follow-up war against bandits still needs a lot of cavalry to cooperate.
Zhao Dongyun previously decided that the distribution of troops stationed in various places is a later plan. For the time being, the main direction is to put Xinmin House there.
Zhao Dongyun’s Xinmin Mansion is engaged in fighting bandits and expanding its territory, and at the same time it is playing with the expansion of Jinzhou patrol camp. At the same time, Japan and Russia are also fighting at the same time in Liaoyang and Lushun.
At the beginning of the month, all the peripheral positions of the Russian army in Lushun were conquered by the Japanese army, and the defenders were forced to retreat to Lushun fortress. There were more than 40 thousand defenders with more than 130 machine guns and more than 600 guns, while the Japanese army surrounded Lushun reached more than 60 thousand guns, more than 400 guns and more than 70 guns.
It is worth noting that although the number of Japanese artillery is not as good as that of Russian artillery, it is very targeted, accounting for nearly half of the siege heavy artillery, while the total number of Russian artillery is relatively large, but quite a few of them are oriented to the sea and harbor. It is impossible to face all the artillery to the land.
In terms of machine guns, Russia has an absolute advantage. There are 60 or 70 machine guns in Lushun, but in the past six months, Zhao Dong Cloud has sold more than 100 heavy machine guns to the Russians. In January and February alone, nearly 100 guns were delivered successively, and in the following months, more than 50 heavy machine guns were delivered successively. Among them, about 70 machine guns and a large number of matching machine guns were assigned to Lushun.
Simply put, the number of Russian machine guns in Lushun is twice as much as that in history, and there is no shortage of bullets.
In addition, due to the weight of heavy machine guns, the mobility is very poor. All contemporary heavy machine guns are used for defense, but no one can directly charge the heavy machine guns with the infantry. However, the Japanese army is the offensive side, and the Russian army is not idle to fight back. The heavy machine guns attached to Lushun by the Japanese army can play a very limited role.
Such a comparison can be found that the Russian machine gun has a great advantage!
Then the logistics supply of both sides was quite bad, but the Russian army was limited by the lack of preparation. Although the preparation was urgently strengthened in the past six months and months, a large number of machine guns and artillery shells were also obtained from Zhao Dong Yun, but the artillery shells and rifles were in short supply except for the machine guns. Each artillery shell was less than 500, which was still supported by Zhao Dongyun’s previous transportation. The actual history of Russian ammunition preparation was even worse!
The Japanese army is not much better. They are limited by the transportation capacity of the sea supply line, and all the shells in China are transported to the front line in a short time. The logistics supply of this supply line will not increase much. There is a super-large-scale battle between Japan and Russia in Liaoyang, and the consumption of shells and shells is astronomical, which is even more crowded with the ammunition that the Japanese Third Army can obtain.
It is only a matter of time before the Russian troops surrender in Lushun if they do not foolishly launch a general attack on Lushun but adopt the present siege strategy, with enough ammunition and troops.
However, Nogi Maresuke’s third army doesn’t launch a storm. Has it been besieged like this?
Can’t!
What?
Because the Russian Pacific Second Fleet is about to leave the Baltic Sea for the Far East, it is almost impossible to completely control the Yellow Sea and control the sea until the Russian Pacific Second Fleet arrives in Asia and joins the first fleet, and there is a home port of Lushun to rely on Japan.
If there is a naval battle between the two sides at that time, it will never be a historical naval battle against Malaysia, but it is really hard to say who will win or lose the joint fleet against Japan after the Russian first fleet and the second fleet meet.
At that time, even if the Russian navy can’t win, but it will take half a day to fight, it will be impossible for the navy to continue to control the Yellow Sea and make the sea. Once it loses its surface control, it will be a matter of minutes to cut off the Japanese sea supply line in the western waters of North Korea with the strength of the Russian navy. At that time, the Liaodong War Day, in addition to retreating into North Korea, the army is expected to die.
For Japanese people, the victory of the army is of course important, but the victory of the navy is more important. Only if the navy can defeat the Russian navy can Japan win a decisive victory.
In order to better prepare for the Russian Navy Day, the navy has repeatedly asked the Japanese army to conquer Lushun Lushun’s Russian fleet and the European fleet as soon as possible, and at the same time, it can force the Russian navy to fight Ma Haixia through extreme danger and then force the Russian Pacific Second Fleet and the joint fleet, which have not been rested, to win or lose in one fell swoop.
During the period from July to June, the Japanese navy almost urged the army to launch a general attack on Lushun as soon as possible. Even ōyama Iwao, commander-in-chief of the Manchurian army, felt the pressure and conquered Lushun. He specially prepared the third army Nogi Maresuke and ordered the third army to launch a general attack on Lushun with his teeth clenched.
From a tactical point of view, it is very unfavorable for the Japanese army to launch a general attack on Lushun in the absence of ammunition supply in the Liaoyang battle. However, the Japanese army has to launch a general attack on Lushun, because it will be even more difficult to wait until winter if it goes to other people’s Pacific Second Fleet, and it will be difficult for the navy to completely control the Yellow Sea and control the sea by then.
Once you can’t control the sea, there is no hope of winning this war!
This is also the reason why Nogi Maresuke is short of bullets and shells in history. It is still said that the meat bomb launched a storm. The reason is not that he likes to play with the meat bomb stream, but that the head pressure on him is too great, which leads him to fight Lushun even if he doesn’t play. The world accuses him not because he stubbornly launched a sustained storm on Lushun, but because his tactics to conquer Lushun are too rigid, resulting in too many casualties.
At the beginning of the month, after more than a month of preparation, Nogi Maresuke’s third army finally launched a general attack on Lushun fortress. A division of the Japanese army launched a storm on Dagushan and Xiaogushan outside the fortress to defend the Russian army. There were three battalions, but the Japanese army didn’t know it was these three battalions. The Russian army had quite heavy machine guns in their hands.
After the war, after a long period of shelling preparation, the Japanese army launched a charge with confidence. After that, Nogi Maresuke was the first large number of senior Japanese generals to observe the war situation with binoculars. However, the incident that followed once again surprised Nogi Maresuke and others. Although the Japanese side already knew that the heavy machine guns in the hands of the Russian army were fierce, after all, a division over there suffered from heavy machine gun fire from the Russian army in the Liaoyang battle, but it didn’t take long for half of the casualties to pass.
However, Nogi Maresuke still didn’t think that the first batch of soldiers who attacked a wing had already killed or injured more than half before they rushed to a distance of 100 meters!
In the scorching sun, Nogi Maresuke telescope watched his soldiers pour their guns, and those who were left were too prone to move their roots and couldn’t rush, but he still didn’t make the retreat. At noon, he ordered a wing in the reserve team to reinforce and continue to attack! rg
Chapter one hundred and thirty-nine Killed list
Nogi Maresuke’s third army launched a general attack on Lushun on July 7th. Naturally, the first attack was the peripheral positions of Lushun fortress, that is, the positions in Dagushan, Xiaogushan and the frontier of the 23 highland northern naval battalion. Only after the Japanese army conquered these peripheral positions can it launch a real general attack on Lushun fortress.
On the 7th of the month alone, the Japanese army moved three wings successively, and two of them launched an assault attack on Dagushan and Xiaogushan. After one day, they failed to climb over the Russian barbed wire. The next day, Nogi Maresuke continued to attack the original Nogi Maresuke with a black face. However, due to the narrow terrain attack channel, it was difficult to put an entire division at the same time, and the rotation attack tactics were adopted as yesterday.
