Rebirth of the Northern Giants

When they rushed to the explosion area, there were fires burning everywhere. Looking at the light of the fire, they couldn't help taking a breath. There were still buildings there, and all they saw were piles of broken bricks. The original appearance cannot be seen, only piles of black soil are left.

The explosion craters are like large circles that have been dug artificially. The Japanese soldiers resting in the city have completely disappeared. Fly everywhere.

China roared and rushed out, but did not find a complete body. It was not until the city gate was not far away that some parts of guns and cannons and some residual limbs were found.

No one can calculate how many Russian soldiers died in the city, but the National Defense Forces will not stop for a while, because there are still some Russian troops outside the city.

The Russian army within [-] miles outside the city, because they were not prepared, was shocked by the explosion and the shock wave, and their internal organs were all moved.

When the National Defense Forces chased them out, they all felt dizzy, staggered around, and vomited everywhere.

Many Russian soldiers' internal organs were injured by the shock, and they vomited blood and fell to the ground groaning.

Seeing the Chinese soldiers appearing suddenly like heavenly soldiers, not only were they too weak to hold up their guns, but they also had no time to escape, so they had to kneel down and become captives.

It was so fucking cool, Zhang Dasha couldn't help admiring his brilliance.

The other soldiers carried rifle grenades, but he alone carried several long pieces of rope.

Seeing the crumbling Russian army on the ground, Zhang Dasha stepped forward to quickly put away their weapons, and then tied them with a rope to string them together.

"****, don't pretend to be dead, get up quickly." Zhang Dasha cursed and tied the dozen or so Russian soldiers to a big tree next to him.

After doing all this, Zhang Dasha hastily carved the words "Zhang Dasha's captive" on the tree, then left him alone and continued to pursue.

A proud soldier pointed a gun at two captives. Seeing Zhang Dasha's behavior, he couldn't help cursing inwardly: This bastard is a bit shameless.

The National Defense Forces chased for twenty miles overnight, and in the end, ordinary people who got the news also joined the ranks of pursuit.

They took hoes and poles one by one. A head is worth nine taels of silver.

The remnants of the Russian army really became rats crossing the street. Everyone shouted and beat them. In the middle of the night, they didn't know which direction to flee. Many people fell into the cesspit and became captives of the children who stayed at home.

After one night, Feng Guozhang looked at the battle report in the newspaper and couldn't help laughing up to the sky.

The National Defense Forces captured more than 5000 prisoners of the Russian army alone. Adding those captured by ordinary people, the people in the Northeast are not weak to be bullied.

And the death toll of the Russian army was not [-], but [-] or [-].

"Congratulations to the Generalissimo"

"Yes, General." The signal soldier was also ecstatic. .

Volume Two, The Wind and Cloud of the Capital, Chapter [-], Developing the Northeast

On the 22nd, early in the morning, Yang Du announced the good news to Ye Zhikui.

"Generalissimo, last night Feng Guozhang's troops won another big victory in Sanxing."

While exercising his body, Ye Zhikui said lightly, "Really?"

"Generalissimo, it's a great victory, why don't you have a happy expression?"

Two of the three Beiyang masters are there, plus China's most elite soldiers. Victory is due, and defeat is incompetent. If they can't win again, if Ye Zhikui doesn't blame Feng Guozhang and the others, they will hang themselves with a rope Die, bought a piece of tofu and crashed to death.

"How about a loss without fuss?" Ye Zhikui twisted a bucket of water in one hand and repeatedly lifted it up and down.

Yang Du replied: "About 200 soldiers were killed or injured."

"What kind of victory can be achieved with more than 200 casualties." Ye Zhikui curled his lips indifferently.

Yang Du chuckled and said: "Generalissimo, you guessed wrong this time. In this battle, [-] enemies were wiped out and [-] Russian troops were captured. This is the biggest victory since the war."

With a bang, the bucket fell from Ye Zhikui's hands, splashing his clothes, but he didn't care.

"Losing two hundred and annihilating [-] enemies, Feng Guozhang can't be paying for his merits, but this is too outrageous. I will never let him go."

Yang Du didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to hand over the battle report and show it to Ye Zhikui himself.

After watching it, Ye Zhikui finally understood what was going on, and couldn't help but said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, several people conspired to stage this big show."

Thinking that Feng Guozhang and others were not without intention of claiming credit in the battle report, and jokingly asked Generalissimo Ye Zhikui to go to the front to reward them. Needless to say, Feng Guozhang and others must have been stimulated by Jiang Zikang's victory.

After all, their deeds were hyped by the military government all over the country some time ago. Jiang Zikang, Song Desheng, Bao Guiqing, Ma Yukun, etc. were all portrayed as anti-Russian heroes and the soul of the nation.

It's a good thing not to admit defeat, but the rewards really bothered Ye Zhikui a bit.

Winning by odds is one thing, and it is not suitable to publicize it. Maybe this strategy will be useful in the future.

But it can't cool the hearts of the soldiers on the front line. Is it really necessary to go to the front line to reward them in person as Feng Guozhang said, but this is basically impossible.

When they came to the Summer Palace, all the ministers of staff had already received the news, and while they were happy, they also congratulated Ye Zhikui cheerfully, because this army was the direct descendant of Ye Zhikui's direct line.

The ministers of the General Staff Department have no doubt that China will eventually win this war, because everything has developed according to the established direction, and the rear troops have been continuously transferred to the three eastern provinces. Now it is only a matter of time and how much it will lose.

"Old Zhou, how is the recruiting going?" Ye Zhikui first asked Zhou Dingchen, the veteran in charge of recruiting.

Zhou Dingchen brushed his beard and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, the Generalissimo, half of the military government's plan of 20 recruits has been completed, and the local offices have sent people to lead these recruits to the recruit training centers in Zhili."

Ye Zhikui sighed and said, "We sent them to the battlefield after a little training for a month or two. I don't know if it was a mistake."

The butcher persuaded: "The generalissimo should not take the benevolence of women. There is no way to do it. This war does not know when it will end. The Russian army is the same as us. There are also many untrained peasants who take guns and shoot directly. On to the battlefield."

During this time, Xu Shichang, who was in charge of food, firearms and logistics, couldn't help but express his difficulties: "Generalissimo, the people of all ethnic groups in the Northeast are very supportive of the resistance to Russia, and they carry their shoulders and hands, and horse carts, donkey carts, and ox carts go into battle to transport supplies for our National Defense Forces." , But as Brother Tu said, we don’t know when this war will end, once the weather turns cold, transportation will become difficult, the Generalissimo should plan ahead.”

"How many troops are there in Northeast China?" Ye Zhikui asked after thinking about it.

Wang Shizhen looked at the records and replied: "Including the 5 soldiers who were transferred to the Northeast by the National Defense Forces, the total strength has reached 15, which is slightly more than the number of Russian troops. Supplies are really a big expense.”

Due to the war, the Northeast provinces had to start to become lively, and a large number of people with various reasons rushed into the Guandong. In addition, the policy of the military government was not like that of the Qing government, which strictly guarded against death and did not allow Han people to enter Guan, although the military government does not encourage it on the surface, but it does not discourage it.

Ye Zhikui thought for a while, and felt that now should be a good time to develop the Northeast.Taking advantage of the convenience of war, we can concentrate the power of the whole country to help the corner of the country.

The recruitment of recruits went smoothly. On the one hand, the patriotism of the Chinese people was ignited. On the other hand, it was because the military government paid very well. After so many wars, there are so many displaced people. In order to support their families, the easiest and fastest way That is to join the army.

Ye Zhikui didn't want the army to be a place to raise idlers, and because of the patrolling police, the role of the army is only one, that is to resist foreign humiliation, but it is impossible for foreign countries to invade every year. It is impossible for all the soldiers in the whole country to join in, so what should we do for those troops who do not want to go to the battlefield after training?

Linked with the development of the three northeastern provinces, isn't this the self-reliance and military reclamation movement of later generations?The three provinces in the Northeast are rich and sparsely populated, and it is still an undeveloped virgin land. Once developed, it will be more than enough to supply the military and civilians in the Northeast.

Seeing that Ye Zhikui was deep in thought, the others didn't dare to disturb him, they were all thinking hard about countermeasures.

"Everyone, I want to set up a provincial office in the three northeastern provinces, establish a one-man-in-charge system for the governor, implement the Northeast New Deal, entrust all the political affairs that should be handled by the three provinces, and all the subordinate departments will work together with the governor." Ye Zhikui said slowly. .

Everyone was shocked. Although they lost military power, they would become the governors of the three eastern provinces.

Ye Zhikui said longingly: "The matter is of great importance. This person must not only have experience in implementing the New Deal, but also have a certain prestige, and be able to suppress the scene in the Northeast. I hope that in two years, I can take the train and travel around the Northeast." , you can see ten thousand hectares of fertile land, cattle and sheep everywhere, shops full of shops, a scene of prosperity.”

As soon as Ye Zhikui said this, everyone else gasped, Generalissimo, are you kidding me?
