Part V, Chapter 42: The Only Chance
Part 5 Chapter 42 The Only Opportunity
"The two sides of the battle have no way out. The last moment has arrived. I ask all the officers to rush in front." After saying this, Sun Song picked up a rifle.
The remnants of the Russian army in Dandong City were trapped within a radius of one thousand meters. All the artillery and military brigades of the division were running, and at the fastest speed within ten minutes, they ran all the people who could be killed out.
"Get the bayonet! Go forward!" After the bayonet skillfully, Sun Song was the first to jump out of the trench with a rifle. The flag bearer holding the military flag was held high.
"Get the bayonet! Go forward!" All the soldiers of the division were shouting. Sun Song, who was rushing in front, felt his body being knocked down suddenly. After a while, the smoke and dust were everywhere. It turned out that the guards following him saw the Russian machine gun in front of him showing their heads. After knocking Sun Song down, they blocked the bullets with their body.
Seeing the guard lying in a pool of blood, Sun Song's eyes widened, the corners of his eyes were cracked, and a bloodshot was overflowing. The short-term rifle jumped up and roared: "Old Russians, I fuck your ancestors, wear my orders, don't take prisoners."
Countless figures passed by Sun Song and rushed forward, fighting fiercely with the Russian army between every street and every house.
An order to not be captured aroused the bloodiness of the new army soldiers. Shen Congyun also issued such an order in the face of the Japanese army.
The Russian army, which was already at the end of its strength, finally collapsed under such a crazy attack, especially when they saw the Russian army kneeling and surrendering on the ground by a bayonet, the Russian army seemed to have seen a devil. The last thrust of Maxim made a soldier who was shot several times, blown up with a smoke-filled cluster grenade, and the Russian army's fighting spirit completely disappeared, and they threw down their weapons and fled.
Xu Bangdao finally ushered in the most difficult moment. The bullets from the heavy machine gun battalion were exhausted, and countless corpses were piled up in front of the position. The Russian army came up again, wearing the officers' uniforms and holding the commanding knife, walking in front, and the Russian army came in an orderly line.
After several consecutive filters, the Russian army finally rushed to the front of the position several meters away.
Xu Bangdao was the first to jump out of the trench, holding a big knife in his hand, roaring: "Kill!" His long beard fluttered in the wind, and a cold light flashed and slashed down. A Russian soldier's rifle was cut off and his body was cut into two pieces.
The remaining two hundred soldiers jumped out of the trenches and rolled into the Russian army with cluster grenades, and the explosion sounded again and again. Xu Bangdao's side was fighting less and less. The dense Russian army rushed to the position like a tide, and a familiar shout of killing sounded over the position.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!" The sound of the familiar mortar sounded again, thudding! Maxim played music like a god of death, boomboom! The dense grenades flew into the Russian army, and then the new soldiers holding bayonets rushed up with a shout of killing.
The Russian troops who were suddenly attacked could no longer hold on and retreated one after another. Situ Kui finally arrived at the battlefield at the most critical moment.
"Kill!" On the Gangtu Ridge, Song Qing waved his big sword and led his members to launch a sudden counterattack. The Russian army, whose morale was severely damaged, was chased and driven out of two miles.
The thing that Curopatkin was most reluctant to see appeared, and the sound of gunfire in the direction of Dandong stopped.
"Your Excellency, a new round of attack is ready." The adjutant walked up to him and whispered.
Kuropatkin slowly put down his telescope and smiled bitterly: "No need, stop attacking, it's meaningless."
"Your Excellency, we still have enough troops to retreat to Lushun." A general advised carefully.
Kuropatkin closed his eyes in pain and shook his head slightly, "It's too late. The Chinese army has already set up a defense line in the Shahe River Basin. There are many rivers on the Liaodong Peninsula. Our army's marching speed is greatly restricted. By the time we arrive at the Shahe Line, the Chinese army has already built a tight defense line. Now our ammunition is almost consumed, and the transportation line has been cut off."
"What should we do?"
"What should I do? I don't know, maybe only God knows." Kuropatkin sighed and was blown away by the spring breeze in the setting sun.

Chenyang, the combat room of the Northern Military Region Command.
"Hahaha!" A cheerful laughter came out. This was the first time such a scene had happened since the war started.
Wan Shusheng and Liu Yongfu, who rushed back from a starry night, had irresistible pride and excitement on their faces. After a few days, the three main leaders of the military region seemed to be more intimate, holding each other in their hands for a long time.
"Zhang Guangming called to complain, saying that he was in vain. However, he was still very careful to leave a division of troops in Phoenix City to prevent the Russian army from escaping." Xu Zhen's face was full of laughter. The first time he served as the commander-in-chief of such a large-scale battle, Xu Zhen was under the greatest pressure. Since the war started, people seem to have become much older. Now they can finally smile happily, and their old temper has dissipated without a trace.
"Jiang Yiding, this kid, took a big risk this time, but the result of the risk was that the war was greatly shortened. We originally expected that it would take at least one month to eliminate the main force of the Russian army. Now it seems that it will be possible to do this in half a month. The rest is to besiege Jinzhou Lushun and force the Russian fleet to escape." Liu Yongfu took the speech, and Wan Shusheng smiled and nodded, "There is another point that we should consider letting the Sixth Army retreat slightly to the west. The Sixth Army is under too much pressure."
Xu Zhen listened and thought slightly: "The Russian army has been operating in Lushun for many years. Now Lushun is already a fortress, and there are 20,000 defenders, which is difficult to fight. According to the spirit of the General Staff, we must eliminate Kuropatkin's main force in the shortest time, and then head north. The Sixth Army must persist for at least one week before making way for the Russian army."
"Just follow this idea and send a telegram to the General Staff."
…………………………
The smile on Chen Congyun's face never stopped for the whole day. Such a good mood naturally infected everyone around her.
Chen Congyun and Hu Xueyan and other cadres held a three-day meeting, and the Ministry of Finance issued a plan. The original Bank of China was reorganized, formed the Central Bank of China, and then issued 50 million treasury bonds nationwide. At the same time, they followed the West to build a securities market, and existing state-owned enterprises carried out comprehensive reorganization and listed financing.
This method was undoubtedly common before Shen Congyun traveled through time. Even the West is not a new matter. The biggest difference between New China and the West is the control of industries such as railways, mines, and military-industrial enterprises, which are related to the lifeline of the country. The country must firmly grasp it.
The new plan has just been introduced, which undoubtedly greatly alleviates the financial difficulties faced by the country. At this time, good news came again on the battlefield. More than 70,000 Russian troops led by Kuropatkin were trapped in the intertwined river network of the Liaodong Peninsula. It was already a turtle in the jar. How could this make Chen Congyun feel bad?
Everyone around Chen Congyun will have a feeling that as the number one person in the country, Chen Congyun is very mean to himself in his daily life.
Three meals a day are always that simple. Breakfast is usually porridge and fried dough sticks, or a bowl of noodle soup to beat yourself. Lunch and dinner are better, but it will definitely not exceed four dishes and one soup.
It was dinner time again, and today I unexpectedly added a dish "Kimchi Minced Meat". The willingness to add the dishes was to celebrate the victory on the Liaodong Peninsula, and the other was to be because Liu Ting was having a meal here.
Because the exclusive interview with Chen Congyun was published in the newspaper in a serialized manner, the sales of the Central Daily News were snowballed upwards, and the gossip of the people was very perverted, especially the gossip about the president, which naturally attracted more attention. The president was the emperor in the past, and he dared not talk about the emperor before. Now he wrote it in the newspaper and everyone has read it.
The newspaper boss was very satisfied with Liu Ting's work, and naturally he could not stop for the new growth point of Chen Congyun's newspaper subscription. So Liu Ting stayed legitimately in Shen Congyun's official residence. Out of his usual indulgence towards Liu Ting, Chen Congyun did not object to it. To be honest, after working hard every day, there was a young and beautiful woman around him talking, which was also a good way to relax.
Liu Ting put a bowl of soup on Chen Congyun with a light body. After putting it down, she whispered with a smile: "Sir, your method is really good. After the article "The President is a Human" was serialized, the sales of the newspaper have been turned over twice. The president can't fit my mouth every time he sees me. In order to thank you, I personally cook today and add a dish for you."
Chen Congyun was in a good mood, but in front of Liu Ting, he still had to look happy and unrestrained, so he just smiled faintly and said, "I have already regretted it. I have taught you how to run it, but you will not leave here."
Liu Ting naturally understood that this was not an expression of dissatisfaction, but a teasing. She couldn't help but show a smug expression on her face. She sat next to Shen Congyun with a little bit of aggravation. She put her hands on Chen Congyun's right arm, and shook it gently, "What? Sir, do you think I'm annoyed? Do you don't like me being by your side?"
The girl who laughs like a flower is very attractive to every man, not to mention Liu Ting, who is outstanding in appearance and charming with a smile. Chen Congyun naturally would not be really angry. Facing Liu Ting's behavior of acting cute, she consciously squeezed Chen Congyun's arm on her chest, and her heart was beating in a bad mood. After taking a deep breath, she barely calmed down.
"Liu Ting, I want to warn you first. You can write whatever you want in life, but no word is allowed to be revealed about state secrets I see here. Also, you are not allowed to enter my study without my consent in the future."
Chen Congyun's warning seemed to have not played much role, and the purpose of diverting the topic and attention was not achieved. Instead, it made Liu Ting laugh and charming, her body tighter, and her mouth was almost pressed against Shen Congyun's ears. When she spoke, the heat burned on her ears, and Chen Congyun's face turned red and red.
"I know, I'm not a person who doesn't know the importance of the matter, or knows the general." Chen Congyun's voice was soft and his bones became much lighter.
Chen Congyun felt that he could not continue like this. If he continued like this, he would make a mistake. Although his three wives and four concubines were protected by law, Chen Congyun himself was in his early forties. This little woman in his early twenties, who was as beautiful as a flower, was really bad for her.
In fact, Chen Congyun's brain was short-circuited for a moment and forgot something very important. In this era, girls usually get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, even if they get married late and have children late, Liu Ting is already 20 years old. A girl is not married yet, and her family is not in a hurry. Isn't it because Liu Ting's forehead has a label of "Shen"?
Liu Ting felt that a innocent girl had already been very lewd to do this step. She was so slow that she could be. She was so slow that she wanted to recycle her hands. Liu Ting was a little angry. With both hands, Chen Congyun's arm was tightly sank between her peaks, feeling a very elastic squeeze.
"Liu Ting, don't do this." Chen Congyun raised his left hand and pushed Liu Ting in a panic. As a result, the position he started was too accurate and pressed on a very elastic and excellent position.
"Well! Hum!" Liu Ting exclaimed softly and let out a long breath. Since she had touched this, I see where you can escape. When Liu Ting felt a numbness coming from her chest, she couldn't help but hum, and she thought so secretly in her heart.
"Damn!" Chen Congyun cried in a low voice, about to withdraw his hand, Liu Ting kept paying attention, and quickly pressed Chen Congyun's hand that was staying in front of her chest, and said shamelessly: "Don't take it away, puff!" She laughed embarrassedly.
People who are disappointed always appear at critical moments. When a while of a gentle footstep sound came, Shen Cong's hand was taken back like a flowing water. Liu Ting didn't dare to use force anymore, so she quickly pulled the distance and sat back. Anyway, it's already like this, and she is still afraid that someone will lose her debt? It's a small matter for a woman to starve to death. She is a big deal for losing her integrity. She is still afraid that you are not responsible?
When Zi Yu appeared at the door with a pot of meat soup made by himself, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw the two of them having a strange expression. Although she is still very charming and Chen Congyun has also visited her for a long time, she is still a little shocked in her confidence than Liu Ting's younger and more beautiful appearance.
However, Zi Yu had her own way and smiled in front of her unseen, "Miss Liu is here too, just right. There is a pheasant I just got back from in the kitchen. I made a meat soup. Yao'er asked the master to give him a pot, and you can try my skills together."
Zi Yu plays the child's card, Chen Liyao is the eldest son, Zi Yu's hope.
How could a child have such a heavy mind? Chen Congyun knew in his heart that his son would not think of these things, which must be Zi Yu's meaning. The little child is taught like this now, which makes Chen Congyun's happy mood appear in his happy mood. Chen Congyun likes Chen Liyao from the bottom of his heart, but at the same time he also hopes that his children can have a free and happy childhood like normal children. Chen Congyun doesn't want to have a few spendthrift things at home, and he doesn't want his family to have a situation of intrigue for power in the future.
Zi Yu was too concerned, and she couldn't talk about her in front of Liu Ting. Chen Congyun could only snorted softly and said, "Let's go, since you're here, have dinner together. Let's go back and tell Yaoer, I'm thanking him."
…………………………
The course of the war, as the commanders of both sides expected, after being blocked in the Dandong direction, Kuropatkin made the most conventional and very helpless decision and rushed to the south.
The main force of the Russian army was blocked by the Fifth Army on the Shahe line and was forced to stagnate. On March 30, as the main force of the First Army and the Fifth Army advanced to the Russian side, the second and third armies came over, and the Russian army was surrounded by a radius of five kilometers above the Shahe River and could not move. It was only a matter of time before the Russian army was eliminated.
After learning that the Russian army in Liaodong was facing numerous encirclements, the Russian base was shocked and realized for the first time that the battlefield war might face a failure.
The two armies transported from the Western Front were quickly replenished under Alexeyev's command and formed the Far East Army Group. At the same time, they ordered Kuropatkin to break through at all costs and go to the direction of Lushun.
After receiving the supplement, Alexeyev immediately ordered to press towards Suihua from the east and north directions, and the Sixth Army finally faced the greatest test.
On the Lushun side, after learning that the main Russian army was trapped, he barely sent a brigade of troops to set out from Jinzhou to try to reinforce Kuropatkin. As a result, Kuropatkin immediately telegraphed the commander of Lushun, asking him to shrink his troops and stick to Lushun and Jinzhou.
The east bank of Shahe River!
