Liaozhong County, a county town that was established by the Qing court two years later, was directly selected by Yang Xingguo as the next target of attack and occupation by the Liaodong Army.

The reason why he chose his goal here was not Yang Xingguo's whim, but Yang Xingguo's helpless move after a long period of thinking.

In another half a year, the Russo-Japanese War will break out.

Because the Anshan County where he is located is located on a major transportation road, as long as the Russians are not fools, they will do their best to destroy themselves before the war breaks out.

In this way, I have no time to develop and grow, nor have enough strength to gain my own interests in the Russo-Japanese War.

More importantly, Anshan is located in a mountainous area and has a sparse population.

Without land and population means that the Liaodong Army cannot be self-sufficient in its territory.

Now, the Liaodong army has few troops and can still be maintained by looting alone.

Once the Liaodong Army expands to a certain level, without a base and cannot be self-sufficient, it will become a very fatal disadvantage of the Liaodong Army.

The Liaozhong County, which has not yet been established, just makes up for all the disadvantages that Anshan County does not have.

Although the Liaozhong area is also under the control of the Russians.

However, because it is not a major transportation route, it does not have much economic benefits.

The Russians only arranged a garrison battalion in Liaozhong.

Except for the annual tax collection time, almost all of this garrison battalion was shrunk in the military camp and rarely came out.

In this case, if the Liaodong Army occupied this place, it would not cause too much disgust among the Russians.

More importantly, more than half of the land in Liaozhong is fertile land, and this fertile land has nourished at least 100,000 people.

If you can occupy Liaozhong and control it, turn Liaozhong into the most solid base of the Liaodong Army. It won’t take long to provide the Liaodong Army with a steady stream of food and soldiers...

Yang Xingguo did not explain these originals in detail.

After the order was issued, Yang Xingguo's eyes were all focused on the map, thinking about the specific methods for the Liaodong Army to march into Liaozhong and completely occupy the entire Liaozhong.

An hour later, when Zhou Zhongju returned to Yang Xingguo again, a very bold offensive route had already appeared in Yang Xingguo's mind. Of course, Zhou Zhongju also brought specific losses to the Liaodong Army.

"Commander, there are 219 soldiers in the first battalion who can continue fighting... There are 208 people in the second battalion... There are 299 people in the third battalion... The fourth battalion has the largest number, and there are 481 people... The investigation company has lost 32 people, the guard company has lost 19 people, and the artillery company has no losses... In addition, there are 250 people in the new recruits and supplies battalion that can be replenished at any time. If there are too many, it will affect the operation of the new recruits and supplies battalion..."

"In other words, in order to defeat these Russians, even if we used various tactics and tactics, we lost more than 1,500 soldiers..."

Zhou Zhongju nodded and replied: "Yes, in addition to this, there are more than 100 minor and serious wounded people lying in Yangjiatun. It would be very lucky that half of our local doctors in the Liaodong Army could be rescued..."

At this time, Yang Xingguo did not speak, but fell into deep thought very quietly.

However, without waiting for too long, a trace of firmness found Yang Xingguo's face.

He ordered Zhou Zhongju very decisively: "Uncle Second, from now on, four combat battalions and reconnaissance companies will be repaired immediately on the spot to replenish their physical strength... 250 new recruits... 1,22 battalions each supplement one hundred people, and 3 battalions will add fifty people, and be incorporated into the army as soon as possible..."

"Five hours later, it was dark, and I set off immediately... A battalion brought six heavy machine guns and swept me all the remaining Russian iron ore in Anshan..."

"The Fourth Battalion, the Investigation Company, was commanded by Zhang Shanlin, and set out as soon as it was dark, bypassed Anshan County, entered Liaozhong, and cleaned up the Russian garrison camp stationed in Liaozhong Town for me..."

"Then with Liaozhong Town as the center, I took a few towns around me and took them away. From now on, the Liaozhong area will be the new territory of my Liaodong Army..."

"The guard company, the new recruits and supplies battalion, immediately enter the battlefield and collect the spoils... As for the old Russian corpses, they are all buried on the spot..."

For the three combat battalions commanders, attacking the old Russian iron ore is already familiar with it.

What's more, I brought a total of six heavy machine guns in this operation.

Therefore, as soon as the recruits and weapons and ammunition were received, the three battalion commanders set out with confidence.

As for the commander of the Fourth Battalion, Zhang Shanlin, was confused about his mission to attack Liaozhong.

Because he has not only never been to Liaozhong, but he has never even heard of it. Needless to say, he went to Liaodong to fight the Russians, but also wanted to occupy Liaozhong.

So, as soon as he received the task, Zhang Shanlin found Yang Xingguo and wanted to ask about one from Yang Xingguo.

However, to his disappointment, Commander Yang Xingguo answered him except that he didn't know or didn't know.

Looking at Zhang Shanlin who was slowly leaving in front of him, Zhou Zhongqiu asked thoughtfully: "Commander, this Zhang Shanlin is good, has a flexible mind, and can use his brain when fighting. If nothing unexpected happens, Commander, you will let him go to Liaozhong this time, not only to occupy Liaozhong, but also to train troops and people..."

"That's right... Zhang Shanlin likes to use his brain among several battalion commanders... Our foundation is too bad, no one comes to join us, so we can only find a way to train ourselves..." Yang Xingguo nodded and replied.

Then, he continued: "However, I believe Zhang Shanlin will definitely complete the task..."

"Don't look at him not knowing anything now, he's actually so smart..."

"But if we don't force him, he won't think about it... This time, I'll force him and let him think about everything by himself. I'll just have one result..."

The Liaodong Army battalions, regardless of fatigue, continued to work hard and immediately started a new round of battle.

The four thousand Russian troops were almost completely destroyed, and even the news that the major general and the commander died in battle was like a plague, spreading quickly to the surroundings.
