War is like this. Without enough intelligence, both sides are like two blind men fighting. They don't even know what the other side looks like.

Through Colonel Brusilov's reply, Song Biao didn't know much information, but he was convinced that the Japanese army would counterattack Liaoyang as soon as possible. Liaoyang was not only the command, intelligence, transportation, and material center of the Japanese army, but also the second

The retreat of 170,000 soldiers must pass through. Once Liaoyang is lost and has not been recaptured, the 270,000 elite Japanese Army soldiers will really never be able to return to Japan.

Song Biao gave the simplest example, how much supplies, food, ammunition, and artillery shells can the five Japanese armies carry on the front line? Liaoyang's geographical location, surrounding defense situation, and the fact that it is only 20 to 60 kilometers away from the front line

It was decided that it would be the material distribution center.

Could the Japanese army have predicted the outcome before the naval victory?

Oyama Iwa must prevent the defeat of the Japanese navy from happening. He must hoard enough military supplies on a large scale, especially food and ammunition. Take military pay as an example. In order to attract Japan's best young people to join the army, Japan has always taken very strong advantages.

Due to military policy, Japanese soldiers received very high wartime allowances, even much higher than those of the Russian army. The average wartime allowance for each Japanese soldier during the Russo-Japanese War was 45 yen per month.

During the entire Russo-Japanese War, Japan's military expenses, allowances and other expenses for the Japanese army alone were as high as 200 million yen. This did not include the Japanese army's disability and pension allowances. After this war, Japan's total military expenditure was actually as high as 14

Billion yen, it took ten years to pay off the debt, and it was not repaid until after the end of World War I.

Song Biao came to deduce that the Japanese military headquarters in Liaoyang currently has at least more than 30 million yen in military salary allowance reserves. As for military rations, they must be able to last for at least three months. If they are defeated in the first battle, will they all surrender later?

No more food?

Based on the normal monthly kilograms of rice grains for each soldier of the Japanese army, there must be 11 million kilograms of grain reserves alone. Otherwise, this battle would be impossible to fight. It is impossible for all soldiers to carry so much grain on their backs.

The frontline reserves are also limited, and at least half of the food is still in Liaoyang and Anshan.

Therefore, the Japanese army must retake Liaoyang in the shortest time. They cannot afford to lose it, and they will simply wait to die if they lose it.

Now that you have thought about this clearly, what else do you have to worry about later?

The matter has come to this, the only plan now is to fight to the death with the Japanese army in Liaoyang City, and use 40,000 people to resist the strong attack of one or two Japanese armies. No matter how many more, it is impossible. After all, the Japanese army has to block the Russian counterattack. Is it really serious?

Do the 400,000 gun-toting peasants of the Russian Far Eastern Army live on dry food?

In short, although Song Biao still doesn't know what the situation is in Liaoyang, nor does he know the whereabouts of Oyama Iwa and Kodama Gentaro, nor does he know how many Japanese troops there are in Liaoyang County, he does know one thing.

, as long as he can block the attack of three or four Japanese divisions in Liaoyang, the 270,000 elite Japanese troops will be left here.

Perhaps it won't be long before Japan and Russia will completely fall into the embarrassing situation of "Japan has no army and Russia has no navy", and this situation is precisely the most beneficial to China.

Song Biao's heart was already bright.

He folded the Russian report from Colonel Brusilov. From this moment on, he was determined to create a bloody tomorrow with the Japanese army in Liaoyang. To be continued...
