Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Wang Shizhen pointed to a place in Heilongjiang, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the support of the military government, General Shoushan North Route Army of Heilongjiang was able to fully deal with the Russian army attacking from the direction of Hailan. At present, the enemy and our armies are in a stalemate in Aihui, but yesterday from Aihui Good news came that Fengxiang, the wing chief of the North Road, sent a new army to raid the Russian "volunteer team" station on the evening of the 2nd, burned the Russian army post and a gunpowder depot, killed and wounded more than a hundred enemies, this battle hit the Russian army's strength The arrogance has inspired the fighting spirit and confidence of other armies in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces."

"Everyone" Wang Shizhen suddenly raised her voice, tapped a small place on the map, and said with a little excitement: "Please look at our army's West Route Army, just yesterday, right here——Yakeshi, General Jiang and General Song teamed up to attack the Orlov brigade headquarters of the Russian army, killing 560 and three enemies, killing the Russian commander Major General Orlov, brigade staff, regimental commander, and battalion commander countless, and followed them in pursuit Dozens of kilometers to the vicinity of Yakeshi Station, this is the biggest victory since the Sino-Russian war."

After Wang Shizhen finished speaking, he looked at Ye Zhikui, who stood up and said, "Everyone, please stand up and applaud the victory of the two generals."

For a while, there were cheers and applause like thunder.

Ye Zhikui signaled Wang Shizhen to continue

"The Russian army in Jilin is also divided into two parts. The intention is obvious. One of them fights in the direction of Khabarovsk-Harbin-Fengtian, and the other one goes to Ningguta-Jilin-Fengtian along the coast. Advance from Khabarovsk The Russian Army on the Northeast Road has four infantry battalions, four cavalry companies, two artillery companies, etc. Commanded by Major General Sakharov, Chief of Staff of the Independent Frontier Defense Corps, with Heilongjiang and Songhua River as transportation channels, it has already occupied Laha, our country. Susu, Fu Kejin, and continued to drive, pointed at the three surnames. Fortunately, Feng Guozhang led our National Defense Forces to arrive. The Russian army on the southeast road from Vladivostok was commanded by Major General Chichagov, and attacked Ninguta. The current defensive force is the former Jilin army, and the two sides have exchanged fire several times, and each has a chance of winning."

After Wang Shizhen explained the situation of the enemy and us, he sat down.

"Okay, everyone, the soldiers on the front line are fighting for life and death, and we can't rest. I don't want to see the scene of bloody battles in the front and singing and dancing in the back. The offensive momentum of the Russian army has basically been contained, but this is far away. Not enough, the battle situation on the east and west fronts will change at any time, everyone must be prepared to go to the northeast, meritorious service must be rewarded, and demerits must be punished. According to the military rank system introduced by the military government, Jiang Zikang and Song Desheng are full of They fought bravely and bravely, for this country, for this nation, they should be proud, the Supreme Command feels that the excellent command of the two men has exceeded the duties of the commander, so I directly approve the promotion of the two of them as major generals."

All the generals looked envious, this was the first time that the military government awarded military ranks to soldiers, the honor can be imagined, and the applause rang out like a tide.

"Everyone, I don't want to say anything more about Russia, an evil neighbor. For more than 100 years, it has been encroaching on and devouring the territory of our country. Now it is time for everyone to stand up and resist. The issue of the Northeast is not just the issue of the people of the Northeast. , but a matter for the people of the whole country, the military government will launch a nationwide general mobilization order, calling on the people of the whole country to join us in actively resisting aggression and defeating the invading enemy. Now, I would like to ask our wartime propaganda minister, Tu Tu, to say a few words.”

The butcher walked to the front desk, his face expressionless, and he stood up straight.

Said: "Generalissimo, all colleagues, dare to attack our enemy of China, no matter who it is,"

The butcher looked at them one by one, and then said in a cold voice, "You will be severely punished."

Then, turn around, step down

The generals looked at me and I looked at you, only then did they realize that he had finished speaking.

Butcher's short speech also won a little applause.

Immediately afterwards, the generals began to discuss the strategy of attacking the enemy, except for the strategy of confronting the enemy head-on.

Veteran General Zhou Dingchen said again: "Since ancient times, we have known ourselves and our enemies, and we will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. The supply of the Russian army is difficult. Does the military government want to implement the scorched earth policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the country?"

Everyone looked at Ye Zhikui, the trouble was serious, and only Ye Zhikui could decide.

Ye Zhikui thought for a moment, then slowly replied: "As long as it is beneficial to fight against Russia, no matter how much our own losses are, we should implement it." It is affirmation of Zhou Dingchen's suggestion.

Xu Shichang also said: "Warriors of all ethnic groups in the Northeast are passionate about resisting Russia. Although it should be done, has the military government considered rewarding them?"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Ye Zhikui ordered Wang Shizhen, Minister of the Du Branch, to say: "May formulate a reward order to reward ordinary people who are brave enough to resist Russia."

……

A group of generals in the staff department actively spoke and suggested, pooled their brains and efforts, and discussed and negotiated dozens of feasible methods in a short time.

On the same day, the reward order was spread throughout the Northeast by telegram: Regardless of Chinese civilians or soldiers, anyone who handed over the head of a Russian will receive a silver reward. The reward order stipulates in detail the price of the heads of Russian soldiers at all levels. In silver, a non-commissioned officer is worth 9 taels, a lieutenant is worth 49 taels, a school officer is worth 99 taels, and so on, Russian commander Lieutenant General Grodekov is worth 999 taels, and the head of the tsar is only worth 10 taels Two, of course, some valuable military targets such as arsenals are also included in the reward order.

This reward added fuel to the flames and shocked the three provinces. It undoubtedly made the people of all ethnic groups who were already fighting the enemy more active. Many bandits and beards from other places rushed towards the warring sides of the two countries.

There are reward receiving offices at the gates of the general army yamen in various places, and the money is handed over from hand to hand

Dozens of Oroqen, Feiyaka, and Hezhe people frequently dispatched in groups of three or five, wandering around the Russian army's positions and supply lines, constantly raiding small groups of Russian reconnaissance and search troops. Those Russian soldiers would be their prey.

On the front line of Sanxing City, a Russian sentry had a stomachache, but had no choice but to hide in the bushes to solve it.

"Really cool" Russian soldiers picked two leaves from the side and were about to wipe them.

With a whoosh, a bow and arrow shot out and hit his head. The Russian soldier's body tilted and he fell to the ground.

After a while, two teenagers came out.

"Zakashi, look, I told you a long time ago that I can hunt a barbarian head today."

The kid named Zakashi looked enviously at the kid who had just shot the arrow and ran forward, picked up the dagger and cut off the Russian soldier's head.

"Hey, tsk, Ursanga, this..." Zakashi was disgusted.

It turned out that the Russian soldier's head just fell on his own stool.

"It doesn't matter, this is nine taels of silver." Ursanga wiped the excrement on the head with a leaf indifferently, and then pinned it to the waistband of his trousers.

"Let's go, hunt a few more heads and we'll go get the reward together"

In the afternoon, two little dolls appeared proudly at the reward receiving place next to the general soldier's office in the city of Sanxing, with two human heads pinned to their waists.

"Why are there so many people?" Zakashi stroked his hair impatiently as he looked at the long line of reward recipients in all kinds of clothes.

After a long time, it was the turn of the two of them.

"Give me money, four heads, 36 taels of silver."

Throwing his head into the basket full of heads next to him, Zakashi yelled loudly.

"A child who has not been weaned earns more money in a day than I do in a few months. I want to take the head of a Russian soldier." The soldier who gave the reward was hit and said depressed.

Another soldier said with a smile: "They are children of the Hezhe people. They have been hunting for a living since they were young. Can you compare with them?"

Although the soldier was talking, his hand movements were not slow, and soon he calculated the silver and handed it to the two little dolls.

"There are still four muskets, do you want to sell them to you?"

The soldier touched it, looked at it, and said, "A rifle and a half taels of silver."

Zhakaxi quickly stopped Ursanga and said, "We'll sell it to the planers over there. They charge one tael for a musket."

"Planers" and "Lantou" are Chinese names for digging ginseng, catching mink, fishing, pearling, and panning for gold. They now use killing Russians as their main source of income, and they have formed a "ginseng mining camp" based on their original occupations. ", "Dingdu Camp", "Vegetable Camp", "Wooden Camp" and "Bangchui Camp".

Large to hundreds of people, small number of people.Each battalion has one or more "deacons" and several mercenary battalion husbands. Each battalion "uses the sound of guns as a signal, or uses a letter as a signal", and "gathers regularly", ready to harvest the heads of the Russian army at any time.

These people successively set up more than 150 battalions, with a total strength of no less than [-] troops. They cooperated with the regular army to fight.

The people in the Sanxing area were even more vicious. They actively responded to the military government’s scorched-earth policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields. They demolished houses and burned them one after another. The Russian army transported troops and food.

The Russian army was completely caught in the vast ocean of the people's war in the three eastern provinces.

Volume [-] The Wind and Cloud in the Capital Chapter [-] Press Conference

On June [-]st, the former Prime Minister's Yamen, now the main hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the military government, has been busy since early in the morning. Although it did not achieve five-step one sentry, it also achieved six-step one sentry, with strict guards. This street was blocked by the Habayashi Guard, and only those with a pass could pass through, and there were several cumbersome inspection procedures after that.

But even so, it still can't resist the enthusiasm of journalists from various countries, because Ye Zhikui, the head of the military government... will hold a press conference here on time this afternoon.

At around 02:30 in the afternoon, under the guidance of the diplomats of the military government, hundreds of journalists from various countries swarmed in to occupy the front row of the main hall.

What's more, this is Ye Zhikui's first press conference since the establishment of the military government. Who among the previous Chinese leaders was so enlightened?Too many, too many, are the reasons why journalists from various countries are scrambling to unleash [-] kinds of martial arts to fight for a pass.
