Chapter 315 Jinzhou (3)
The Russian army guarding the dock was very tactful and did not stop the People's Army from getting ashore, so there was no conflict between the two sides. After the two companies of the People's Army got ashore, a company commander negotiated with Dudaev, but other soldiers occupied the key points of the dock and quickly formed a simple position. The Russian soldiers could only stare at the dock. It was not that they didn't want to do something, but that they didn't know what to do. The huge gap between the two sides was too big.
After the People's Army controlled the dock, all transport ships also put down their boats and transported the landing troops to the shore.
After Deng Zhonghan got ashore, he met Dudaev and did not mention that the Russian army did not send a guide ship. Instead, he stated his identity and came to take over Jinzhou. He asked Dudaev to recruit the Russian troops guarding Huludao and lead the People's Army to take over Jinzhou. In fact, Huludao was handed over to the People's Army to garrison.
Although Dudaev received the order that Russia only handed over Jinzhou to the People's Army, it did not say that Huludao was also handed over to the People's Army. However, the current situation does not allow Dudaev to refuse. Of course, this is because the number of the People's Army is far more than that of the Russian army. On the other hand, the Russian army's attitude towards the People's Army is different from that of the Qing army. The Russian army naturally despised the Qing army, contempt and ignored it. Although Dudaev only brought more than 60 Russian soldiers, if it was against the Qing army, it would be against the 6000.
0, even 6,000 dared to fight hard; but the People's Army is different, because five years ago, the Russian army was defeated in the hands of the People's Army, which was also the battle between the Eight-Nation Alliance and the People's Army. The army lost the worst, and it also left a deep impression on the Russian army. Although five years have passed, the Russian army has not forgotten it, so the Russian army dare not act arrogantly in front of the People's Army, because it is when it is at a disadvantage.
So Dudaev immediately recruited Russian soldiers guarding Huludao, and Deng Zhonghan led the two battalions of troops to set off from Huludao and drove to Jinzhou.
It is about 50 kilometers from Huludao to Jinzhou, and it is not close, so the team walked until after 5 pm to arrive in Jinzhou.
The Jinzhou-Ningyuan area was one of the main battlefields during the alternation of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so tall and solid city walls and city defense facilities were built. Although there was no war in this area after the Qing army entered the pass, Jinzhou was an important stronghold connecting the inner and outer gates of the pass. Although the Qing court did not strengthen the city defense of Jinzhou, the original facilities were maintained. Although in the middle and late period of the Qing court, maintenance became a perfunctory, Bijing was still in the foundation and would have some effect. Although the current Jinzhou wall was a little damaged, it was still very tall and thick.
Deng Zhonghan led the army to stop about 1,000 meters away from Jinzhou City, and asked Dudaev to go to the city to inform the defenders in the city that the People's Army would go to the city to rest tonight and go through the city handover procedures tomorrow. Although Deng Zhonghan's words were polite, his words were very firm, which made Dudaev feel that if the defenders in Jinzhou City refused to enter the city, the People's Army would immediately launch an attack on Jinzhou City without hesitation.
The garrison of Jinzhou City was Captain Mikhaichenko. The defender had 5 platoons and about 220 soldiers. Three days ago, Captain Mikhaichenko received an order from Shenyang to hand over Jinzhou to the People's Army and then go back to Shenyang to report. The captain was relieved because he could finally leave this ghost place. Jinzhou City is actually not big, with a side length of about 1,000 meters, but due to the direction of Xiaoling River, the southwest corner of the city had to be made into an oblique angle, so it looked like a right-angle trapezoid. However, with only more than 200 soldiers, it was impossible to defend Jinzhou City.
Of course, before the war between Japan and Russia began, Captain Mikhailchenko was not in a hurry to leave Jinzhou, but now Russia has suffered consecutive losses on the battlefield and has lost Lushun and Liaoyang in a row, so he can only retreat to the front line of Chenyang. Although the captain is not proficient in military tactics, it can also be seen from the map that the Russian army is step by step away from the western Liaoning area. In other words, he is becoming an isolated army. At this time, he can abandon Jinzhou and return to Shenyang, so the captain is naturally willing.
But after Dudaev entered the city, he told Mikhaichenko that after the People's Army landed on Huludao, it almost semi-forcedly controlled the Huludao port and drove away all the Russian troops guarding.
Captain Mikhaichenko then understood that this army might not be good. Of course, the captain's status and status could not be known. The senior management wanted to hand over Jinzhou to the People's Army. However, the idea of the lower-level soldiers was simple and direct. Since they received the order from the headquarters and did not want to stay in Jinzhou for a long time, would they care whether the People's Army was good or not? It would be fine to hand over Jinzhou to them, and they had to hand over Jinzhou as soon as possible. If Fengtian Command came with a new order, it would be difficult for him to deal with it. As for Huludao, it was not his own jurisdiction, and it was not a matter of whether it was captured by the People's Army!
After understanding this, the captain did not hesitate anymore and immediately ordered the city gate to let the People's Army enter the city. He also met with Deng Zhonghan, saying that he had received an order from Fengtian Command to hand over Jinzhou to the People's Army to guard. The relevant information had been prepared and could be handed over that night. He could leave Jinzhou early tomorrow morning. If the command had new orders, he would not have any responsibility.
In fact, Jinzhou City is not big, and the Russian army did not manage much in Jinzhou. The daily order and administration were actually managed by the officials of the Qing court. The Russian army's requirements were achieved through these officials. Therefore, the so-called handover was actually Mikhaichenko called these officials together, met Deng Zhonghan and explained it.
Deng Zhonghan was also a little surprised by the captain's pleasure, and he wondered whether the Russian was playing tricks. Therefore, after the handover, Deng Zhonghan returned to his own troops and did not dare to be careless. He first occupied a city gate, and then divided a battalion of soldiers to camp outside the city, and arranged a large number of soldiers who were vigiling to prevent accidents.
However, Deng Zhonghan's arrangement was redundant, and nothing happened overnight. Early the next morning, Mikhailchenko and Dudaev left with the Russian army and left Jinzhou City to the People's Army.
Three days later, the second group of People's Army landed in Huludao, and the remaining battalions and administrative groups of the 1st Regiment arrived in Jinzhou. Deng Zhonghan handed over the administrative power and security tasks to his personnel, commanded the army and arranged the defense of Jinzhou. By this time, the People's Army had already controlled the area from Huludao to Jinzhou, and transported the troops of a division and more than 1,000 other personnel to this area, and the construction of large-scale construction began.
Just when Deng Zhonghan was fully controlling Jinzhou City, the East China Government also officially announced to the public that in order to safeguard Chinese territory, the People's Army will enter Jinzhou and will take further actions depending on the development of the situation.
Since the negotiation time between Russia and the East China government was too short and the implementation was too fast, countries did not even hear any news. Therefore, when the East China government announced the news, the whole world was shocked. Of course, many countries estimated that the East China government would enter the big game of Northeast China sooner or later, but the country would not think that the intervention point was in Jinzhou. Moreover, with the intervention of the East China government, the situation in Northeast China became more complicated.
Of course, most countries have the mentality of watching the fun and not afraid of big things. Only Japan is as if it was hit by a blow. It turned out that it could leave the East China government and let it go, but it did not expect that the East China government would give it this trick. Japan was now full of confidence in winning this battle, not only because of Japan's current advantages, but also because of unrest in Russia. In addition, Japan's intelligence agent Akashi Motojiro who was sent to Europe to activities was also preparing to add another firewood to the fire. Therefore, Japan unanimously believed that now was the best time, but did not expect such a big accident to occur at this time.
Although Jinzhou is still far away from the main battlefield of Japan-Russia war, because of this, the East China government is in a favorable position where it can be attacked and retreated. Once Japan launches an attack on Shenyang, it will be equivalent to exposing its side and rear to the East China government's military front. Therefore, Japan is now powerless against the East China government and it is difficult to attack the Russian army with all its strength. It can be said that it is a dilemma for advancing and retreating.
In Japan, a few officials who insisted on cooperating with the East China government strongly commented on the decision-making mistakes in the cabinet, which not only reduced Japan's friend who could have cooperated with and a powerful enemy, but also advocated that based on the current situation, the battle should be stopped immediately and the war should be terminated.
So the Japanese government immediately launched an urgent consultation to discuss countermeasures. Finally, it believed that at this time, Japan would never stop fighting. After all, at this time, Japan had no way to go back, because at this time, the benefits that Japan could gain from the war were extremely limited, and the huge debts owed for the war would make the Japanese government bankrupt. Therefore, it was hard to continue the war. The bet had started and could not stop. Either win a lot or lose all.
There are four solutions summarized by the Japanese government: First, express the strongest protests to the East China government and demand that the East China government withdraw troops from Jinzhou; second, pressure the Qing court, demanding that the Qing court come forward, pressure the East China government, or send troops to take over Jinzhou. Of course, from these two points, it can be seen that the current Japanese government has become a little confused, and this method that has almost no effect has been proposed.
