Fengxian Jiangshan

"Commander-in-Chief, the Russians issued an ultimatum to the Beiyang government, demanding that Duan Qirui must order the Fengjun to hand over the Middle East Road, or they will use force against the Fengjun. Our Prime Minister Duan has softened again, let us have a good relationship with the Russians. Let's talk, what do you think?"

"What else can we do, Duan Qirui has no bones, we can't be cowardly!"

Chapter 3 Frontier Confrontation

"Yu Shuai, the matter on the Middle East Road is very troublesome, you'd better suppress it."

In the face of the ongoing Sino-Russian conflict, the Beiyang government is already in a bit of a state of distress. The Fengjun regained the Middle East Road, which greatly increased the country's prestige. Coupled with the reports of Shao Piaoping and others, there has been a storm in China. Young people everywhere Students marched in solidarity with Fengjun's actions.

There are also a large number of people donating money and materials to support the government's tough attitude.Although domestic public opinion is boiling, the attitudes among the great powers are very subtle, especially after the Russians threatened to use force, the pressure on Beiyang increased sharply. Xu Shuzheng had to take Duan Qirui to Fengtian, wanting to seek Zhang Zuolin's opinion.

"Secretary-General, how do you say to suppress it?"

"Naturally, it is a negotiation. Now both the UK and Japan have proposed to set up a conference where all countries will participate. Through negotiations, everyone will determine the ownership of the Middle East Road. I think this is a more appropriate measure."

"I think this is very inappropriate!" Zhang Zuolin said angrily: "The Middle East Road is a matter between China and Russia, and has nothing to do with other countries. Once Britain and Japan get involved, the Middle East Road will still fall to us. People all over the world know about the railway that the Fengjun soldiers risked their lives for, can they spit it out for nothing?"

Faced with Zhang Zuolin's questioning, Xu Shuzheng was also dumbfounded. According to Xu Shuzheng's temper, he would probably explode immediately when he encountered this kind of stealing. one head.

"Yu Shuai, it's important for the country, don't be arrogant. The government has decided to join the Allied Powers. The relationship between us and Russia is an ally. We stand in the same trench. We should be of one heart and one mind."

"Secretary-General Xu, we are thousands of miles away from Germany. We participated in the battle to help the Allied Powers shed blood and die. According to common sense, should they give us some benefits, such as abolishing lease, withdrawing customs duties, and exempting Boxer Compensation, taking back the power of the railway, these things should be done differently. None of them are done now. Let us give away the power we got, do you have such a lowly ally?"

"Yu Shuai, even though you have thousands of reasons, we are a weak country, and we don't have the strength to face the big powers. Although you have taken back the Middle East Road, Russia has already mobilized its troops. And the Japanese are still ready to move. If If the Feng army is defeated, it is not a problem of the Middle East Road, but a crisis in the entire three eastern provinces. We cannot put the country in a dangerous situation because of a momentary impulse. You have to think about the stakes in it. .”

"Secretary-General Xu. Since you advocate negotiation, how do you want to talk about it? Where is our bottom line? Is there a charter for the final ownership of the Middle East Road?"

Xu Shuzheng thought for a while and said, "Since it's a negotiation, we have to sit down and negotiate. If it can be co-managed by all countries, it might not be a good choice. At least we can get back some rights and interests. Let's figure it out slowly!"

Zhang Zuolin secretly despised Xu Shuzheng in his heart, this guy was also known as Xiao Zhuge, if he could say what he just said, it proved that he was not Zhuge, but a complete pig.At this time, once the countries co-manage, China will inevitably be marginalized, and because there are more participating powers, it will be even more difficult to take back the Middle East Road in the future, and it may even never be taken back.

"Secretary-General Xu, Fengjun is willing to negotiate, but this negotiation must be bilateral, that is, between China and Russia, Britain and Japan. As for my bottom line, Fengjun must have the right to operate and manage the Middle East Road .”

Seeing that there was no way to persuade Zhang Zuolin, Xu Shuzheng was also very anxious. He managed to control his anger, and then said: "Shuai Yu, put aside the issue of negotiation for now. Russia has already lodged a protest with the government. They said that the Fengjun sent a small A group of troops invaded the territory of Russia, burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil. I think this kind of provocative behavior must stop, otherwise if it triggers a war between the two countries, we will be in big trouble."

"Secretary-General Xu, the news I got is not like this. Those who attacked Russia were all rebels in their country. What is it called the Far East Zì yóu Army? It has nothing to do with Fengjun. I also want to ask, if China does not Going to provoke, won’t war be fought? The Russians have long threatened to use force and are actively preparing for it. They put guns on our heads. If you blindfold your eyes and pretend to be confused, in addition to deceiving yourself, What else can I do?"

Xu Shuzheng was full of confidence at first, thinking that after arriving in Fengtian, with his sharp tongue and powerful statements, Lao Zhang would definitely repent and follow the arrangement of the central government, and the crisis on the Middle East Road would be resolved. He didn't agree, and it was still a slap in the face.

Moreover, Lao Zhang pointed at the vital point everywhere. It was not China that chose war, but Russia. They were unwilling to lose their colonial power, so they wanted to use war as blackmail, and Fengjun had to fight!

"Yu Shuai is full of confidence. Regardless of victory or defeat, the consequences will be borne by Feng Jun." Speaking of this, Xu Shuzheng has no way to persuade Zhang Zuolin, so he can only leave in high spirits, and quickly ask Duan Qirui for instructions to see what to do next. what to do.

Watching Xu Shuzheng leave, Lao Zhang also felt a huge pressure. The Beiyang government is unreliable, and the great powers have ulterior motives. What can be counted on now is Zhang Tinglan's road guards. If he can defeat the Russians, he can say anything. If they were defeated, the entire Feng army would be in serious trouble.

Zhang Tinglan, who was on the front line, felt even greater pressure. Ever since the attack on Shuangchengzi, the high-level Russian army was completely shaken. More and more troops were assembled, and the vanguard had already entered the Sino-Russian border.

The Russians set up tight defenses to prevent the Feng army from invading, but no matter how dense the network is, there are loopholes, especially the long border between the two sides, and the political situation in Russia is relatively chaotic, there are always loopholes to exploit.The small units of the Feng army still frequently crossed the border, attacked the rear transportation lines of the Russian army, attacked villages and towns, and robbed factories and mines, causing great damage to the Russian army.

Facing the harassment of the Feng army, the Russians have already endured to the limit. The supreme commander of the Russian army, Constantine, is almost going crazy. wasted uselessly.

If you can't quickly defeat Fengjun and take back the Middle East Road, the Russian army will collapse, so Constantine ordered the Russian army to be ready to launch a war at any time without hesitation.

The Russian army is actively preparing for war, and so is the Feng army. Zhang Tinglan has issued an order to the Feng army patrolling the border. As long as the Russians initiate provocations, the Feng army will resolutely fight back. There are more and more conflicts between the patrols of the two sides. They often play cold shots at each other.

Zhong Junfeng is a student of the first batch of Fengtian Lecture Hall. According to the original period, they have already graduated, but due to the intense fighting, the formal graduation ceremony is too late to hold. These students do not have the formal qualifications of military officers. What a pity.

In the battle with the Russians, he fought bravely and killed seven Russians with his own hands. He also took the lead in entering the telegraph office. The company commander is just a snap of the fingers.

This time Zhong Junfeng led [-] soldiers to form a patrol team to patrol along the Sino-Russian border. This kind of patrol is actually very dangerous. There is no real demarcation of the border between China and Russia. The so-called border crossing is just a hazy line.

Moreover, in the past, China's military strength was weak, and there was no military patrol at all. The Russians would invade the Chinese side from time to time. There was a firefight.

In the past few days, more than a dozen Fengjun soldiers have been injured or even died. Of course, the same is true for the Russian side. The casualties are very heavy. Therefore, when patrolling now, we must be extremely careful. A little negligence will have unpredictable consequences.

Feng Jun patrolled about ten kilometers in a row, and nothing happened. Zhong Junfeng relaxed a lot. He took Feng Jun soldiers to rest in the nearby woods, and everyone drank some water to recover their strength.

While chatting, I suddenly found a large group of people appeared on the Russian side, there were hundreds of them. They were sneaky and rushed towards the Chinese side quickly.

Seeing this, Zhong Junfeng immediately became vigilant. It seems that these Russians didn't follow their good intentions, and quietly led Fengjun soldiers to approach them, forming a sniper position in front of the Russians.

At this time, the Russians had already killed them. They kept looking left and right, but they didn't find any Fengjun soldiers. This group of Russians thought they had their own tricks, and they quickly ran towards the woods.

During this period of time, the Fengjun's raids made the Russians miserable, and the Russians also wanted to let the Fengjun taste their power, so they also organized an attack squad to disturb the Fengjun's rear and rob the Chinese people .

Unfortunately, the first time they took action, they were bumped into by the Fengjun patrol. Zhong Junfeng and the others only carried a light machine gun, and their firepower was a bit weak, but they didn't have any fear, but used the woods to cover I, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Russians.

Gradually, the distance between the two sides came within 100 meters. Zhong Junfeng first aimed at the Russian commander who was rushing to the front. With a gunshot, the commander was shot in the chest, and blood spurted out in an instant. The other Russians hadn't done it yet. Knowing what was going on, Feng Jun's gunshots rang out.

Counting intentionally or not, although the Russians were numerous in number, they were also stunned by the sudden bullets. Fengjun's Madsen machine gun screamed cheerfully, as if it was about to have fun. With the flames of the machine gun, more and more Many Russian soldiers were knocked down.

After a while of panic, these Russian soldiers finally began to raise their guns to fight back. The soldiers on both sides were only thinking about how to kill more opponents. They didn't know that the second official confrontation between the Feng army and the Russian army started.

Chapter 3 Nineteen Small Trials

Under the sudden blow, a large number of Russians were killed and injured, and the other living Russian troops were all terrified. They wanted to sneak attack Fengjun, but they were attacked instead, and they were a little dizzy. In this round of firefights, More than two dozen Russians fell to the ground.

More than a dozen of them were dead, and a few were howling in pain, hoping that their companions could rescue them.At this time, the Russian army, which had finally stabilized, rushed out of two soldiers, trying to rescue the wounded soldiers. At this time, Zhong Junfeng's gun was already aimed at the soldiers who ran over.

The muzzle of his gun was half a point shorter than usual, and he shot out, hitting the Russian soldier in the abdomen, and he also fell to the ground. When the Russian soldier next to him saw that his accomplice was injured, he wanted to go to rescue him. At this time, Zhong Junfeng quickly A second shot was fired, hitting the other man exactly in the thigh.

The two Russian soldiers not only failed to save their companions, but also trapped themselves. They were all howling in pain, but the guy with the injured leg was still struggling to crawl back, and the ground under his feet was stained with blood.

Seeing that their comrades were injured, the other Russians had to save them, and several Russian soldiers rushed over, but the other Fengjun already understood Zhong Junfeng's intentions, and had already used these wounded Russian soldiers as bait for fishing. Immediately, dense bullets shot over, and all the Russian soldiers who came to rescue fell to the ground.

Now the Russian police officer also understood the intention of the Chinese side. He had already gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but spit out a series of the most filthy words to curse these despicable Chinese people.The Russians also have a sense of cruelty in their bones. Seeing that these wounded soldiers have become the tools of the Feng army, if they continue to howl like this, it will undoubtedly affect the morale of the Russian army. They can only be cruel and point their guns He pointed his mouth at the wounded soldiers.After the intensive gunfire rang out, the wounded soldiers all fell silent.

"Platoon leader, the big nose is really capable of being ruthless!"

"Well, let the brothers be careful, the other party is not easy to deal with."

After Zhong Junfeng explained, all Fengjun soldiers were more careful, and at this time the Russians also stabilized their positions, and they also realized that although the opponent's marksmanship was very accurate, they were not dense.It should be only a small patrol force, but the Russians finally stabilized their mood, and they launched a fierce counterattack.

The disparity in the strength of the two sides was too great, and gradually the Russians finally gained the upper hand, and they separated into two small groups of troops.He wanted to rush over from the left and right, trapping Zhong Junfeng and the others in the middle.Catch them all.

Zhong Junfeng is not an idiot either.After realizing the plot of the Russians, he decisively ordered the Feng army to retreat, but the retreat was not a blind escape. This area was all Chinese territory. After many patrols, the Feng army had already figured out the terrain very clearly.Zhong Junfeng was ready to lure these Russians into being fooled.

The Feng army adopted the method of retreating alternately. More than [-] people were divided into two teams. One team broke first and then the other team quickly retreated to find a suitable terrain.Get ready to snipe.After the soldiers in front retreated, they continued to block, and when the soldiers who retreated to the back were ready, they retreated quickly.

Such alternate actions greatly ensured the safety of the retreat, but the Russian army suffered heavy losses due to repeated raids by the Feng army, and more than a dozen people were killed, while the Feng army only lost three soldiers.

Gradually the Russians have penetrated deep into the territory of China, and now the Russian officers also feel that it is not good, and they cannot continue to chase like this. After all, this is in the territory of China. Once they collide with the large Chinese troops, they will not It's over.

These Russians were about to retreat, and Zhong Junfeng also noticed that the cooked ducks couldn't be allowed to fly away, so he led the soldiers of the Feng army to chase them back, and kept harassing these Russians at a certain distance.

The commanders of the Russian army have been driven crazy. They have encountered rubbish troops that are about to collapse at the touch of a finger, and they have also encountered strong enemies that will never retreat, but they have never encountered such troops in front of them. They are as slippery as loaches. Fiercely towards the hornet, unable to catch up, and unable to drive away.

The Russians had lost their minds, and he ordered his soldiers to wipe out all the soldiers, and once again there was a chase on the field.
