Fengxian Jiangshan

Jiang Fangzhen suddenly laughed and said, "Commander, Linge asked us to announce the victory, it should not be for showing off, but to force Beiyang to express his opinion."

As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard this, he immediately understood that everything is right and sound, Feng Jun and the Russians are desperately working hard, what is the reason for it, Feng Jun is just like the big powers, just to contain the majority party?Obviously not, Fengjun is trying to regain the lost land and is fighting for the nation!

Until now, the Beiyang government has not officially announced the abolition of all unequal treaties with Tsarist Russia, which constitutes an unfavorable factor for Fengjun's military operations.

In the past, Beiyang did not dare to offend the Russians, so he dared not announce the abolition of the contract. Now Fengjun has won a good start, proving that the Russians are not terrible, and Beiyang no longer has any excuses for delay.

But speaking of it, this is not an easy task. If Beiyang could have announced the abolition of the treaty early, they might still have taken the initiative. As a result, they had no courage and could only leave a cowardly image to the people.

As a result, Fengjun has now taken the first step to regain their homeland. If they don't immediately abolish the contract and support Fengjun, they are ignoring the interests of the country. To put it more broadly, they are betraying the country.However, once they follow up, it will also produce more uncomfortable results. The world will ask questions, who is the central government of this country and who can represent this country!

Domestic affairs and foreign affairs are led away by the Fengjun, and they hide behind when defending their home and country. What face is there to stay in Beijing and order the world? This is a fatal blow to the legitimacy of the Beiyang regime.Don't look at Zhang Tinglan's cooperation with Zhijun, but he will never relax when it comes to fighting for the morale of the people.

Therefore, after Yang Yuting made a suggestion, Zhang Tinglan was also overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Okay, in the name of the border defense army command, I will issue a telegram requesting Beiyang to immediately announce the abolition of all unequal treaties between China and Russia. This problem is thrown to Beiyang, we Watch enough to give them a headache."

Jiang Fangzhen also smiled and said: "That's right, no matter what choice you make, you will lose points. It depends on how much they can do and how much they can recover!"

The war is still going on. As early as after the Sino-Russian war started, all walks of life in China have paid attention to this battle. Although the Feng army had a record of defeating the Russians in the past, at this time the great powers have all withdrawn from Russia, which shows the horror of the Red Empire. However, Feng Jun rushed in again. I am afraid that there are no other adjectives other than overreaching.

The princes in Beiyang laughed at some of them, and some looked on coldly, but no one could have imagined that the Fengjun could win the advantage on the battlefield so quickly. The great president Xu Shichang held Zhang Tinglan's power-on, and the old man's face turned red and then pale. Sometimes ashamed, sometimes resentful, sometimes lonely, in short, the color changes, making everyone around me feel scared.

"Hey, Zhang Zhuoyan is putting me on the fire, hurry up and invite Cao Shuai, let him see what to do!" the old man said dejectedly.

Not long after, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu came to the presidential palace one after the other, and the two men also had very ugly faces. After a while, Wu Peifu suddenly said: "President, commander, I want to invite you to fight!" Chinese politicians are used to being conservative, and the Beiyang Group also inherited this gene from the bureaucrats of the Qing Dynasty. They have a deep-seated fear of foreigners, and this fear is even groundless.

When Cao Kun and Xu Shichang heard that Wu Peifu took the initiative to ask for a fight, they instinctively felt something was wrong. Cao Kun hurriedly said, "Ziyu, what kind of fight do you want to invite? Could it be that you can't fight with Feng Jun?"

Wu Peifu nodded: "Commander, Zhang Zhuoyan has always pursued a tough line and strived for sovereignty since he emerged. At first, I still couldn't figure it out. If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. Walking a tightrope like Feng Jun is too risky. Yes. But now I see a clue. The Chinese have been bullied for nearly a hundred years, and what they need most is a strong person to protect them. Starting from the recovery of the Middle East Road, to Hailanpao, to 64 Tun, to Outer Mongolia, and then In the Northeast, if we really let the Fengjun solve all the problems in the north, and we don't need them to fight, we will get out of Beijing!"

Wu Peifu is indeed not simple. To fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. This seems to be a very ideal way. Once the inside is stable, concentrate your strength, and then go to deal with the big powers.But there is a fatal problem, that is, will the great powers allow you to concentrate your power!It is necessary to know that a China that is torn apart and allowed to be fished by mermaids is the most in line with the interests of the West.

Fighting against the outside world and securing the interior are actually two sides of the same coin. If you want to secure the interior, you must have the capital to eliminate foreign aggression. If the interests of the big powers in China are not eliminated, they will continue to support their agents. How can the country be stable!

And with the capital of fighting against foreign countries, domestic reunification will be a matter of course. Even the biggest enemy can't stop it, so what's the use of some small shrimps!If you want to truly unify China, you must fight with the big powers, which has been thoroughly proved in history.Only when the United Nations was blocked from the [-]th parallel did China completely settle down.

This is an unchangeable fate. Wu Peifu has begun to understand why Zhang Tinglan is desperately fighting with the Russians, so he also has the idea of ​​​​joining the war.

"As the central government, we have fallen behind Fengjun in safeguarding national sovereignty. If we still cannot take decisive measures and send troops to help the war, what will the people of the world think of us? Who can bear the result of losing the hearts of the people!" Wu Peifu said sadly.

Cao Kun and Xu Shichang looked at each other in blank dismay.It was very embarrassing, Cao Kun said after a long while: "Ziyu, it is the mission of soldiers to safeguard national sovereignty, but we have to figure out one thing now. Will we win if we fight the Russians? If we fail, we will cede land and pay compensation. At that time, we were even more majestic, I am afraid that we are not even as good as Man Qing!"

"Yes, there is actually another problem." Xu Shichang also said: "The war against Russia is led by the Fengjun. If we send troops there, we must be in a subordinate position. If Zhang Tinglan has bad intentions and treats us as cannon fodder, let us The Beiyang elite are all gone, so what should we do!"

Wu Peifu heard the concerns of Cao Kun and Xu Shichang.It also makes sense, but this kind of thinking itself is inferior. The struggle for national sovereignty is something that has to be fought. No matter whether you win or lose, you must fight to the end. The gains and losses of factions must be put aside.

But even though Wu Peifu had this idea, he couldn't make up his mind, so he was silent for a while before saying: "President, Marshal, we might as well separate the matter, annul the contract in the name of the government first, and provide Fengjun with everything Possible help. I led a liaison team to negotiate with Zhang Tinglan about dispatching troops, and at the same time observe the situation on the battlefield before making a final decision."

When Cao Kun heard that things could only be like this now, he said dejectedly: "Sandwiched between the great powers and the public opinion, it was originally a mouse in a bellows, and it was angry at both ends. Now there is another Zhang Tinglan who can toss, but How can people live!"

Wu Peifu didn't care about Cao Kun's self-pity, and hurried north with his cronies to meet Zhang Tinglan.At this time, Zhang Tinglan was sitting in Manzhouli. In the not-so-large office, all kinds of personnel were constantly coming and going. The battle reports from the front, the situation in the rear, and the international situation were all taken care of.

As the commander in chief of a major war, Zhang Tinglan had too many things to deal with. Even with Yang Yuting and Jiang Baili's two assistants, plus a large number of staff members working together, Zhang Tinglan only slept for three or four hours a day.There is always hot tea on the table, and it all depends on this to lift my spirits.

"Zhuoyan, there is good news!" Jiang Fangzhen took a telegram and sent it to Zhang Tinglan. He said with a smile: "Ma Zhanshan and Zhong Junfeng just won a big victory and wiped out more than 3000 Russian cavalry. Back to the Kemuzik Banner. Now not only is our western front stable, but a knife has been put on the Russians’ stomachs, which is really a great contribution.”

When Zhang Tinglan heard it, he quickly took the telegram in his hand, read it carefully, and showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Very good, tell Ma Zhanshan and Zhong Junfeng to continue to use the advantages of cavalry and fight flexibly. Outside the country, wherever there are Russians, wherever the Russians are easy to deal with, just fight there. Try to turn the Tangnu Wulianghai area into a big quagmire. If the Russians stick their feet in, don't try to pull them out again, dragging them down alive !"

The battle between China and Russia began when the Tannu Ulianghai was attacked. At that time, the Russians played a trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, trying to quickly occupy the Tannu Ulianghai, move the front line south, and protect the safety of the railway.At the same time, I also want to attract Fengjun to relieve the pressure on the Far East.

This is because the Feng army was not fooled at all, and directly placed the main force in the Far East, and launched an unimaginable onslaught against the direction of the Russians, and the Far East suddenly became the main battlefield.

But even so, the battles in Tangnu Wulianghai and even Outer Mongolia were still very fierce, not worse than those in the Far East.Zhong Junfeng and his men reappeared on the outskirts of Kemuzik. In the distance was a misty yurt. Just over ten days ago, they officially started the battle with the Russians.

The battle situation at that time is still vivid in my mind. The Russian army took advantage of the chaos to attack Kemuzik, and Yan Shichao led the guarding Feng army to launch a arduous counterattack.

In the night, the cannons rumbled, and the small earthen city was full of flames. The houses and yurts were constantly being swallowed up, and most of the fortifications were destroyed. There were dilapidated scenes everywhere.

The Russians were like a tidal wave, they couldn't kill them cleanly. Under the cover of artillery fire, their infantry stormed the front, and the cavalry raided from the two wings. The Russians, who had an absolute superiority in strength, seemed to be crazy. The dense crowd made everyone panic. I felt terrified.

Although Yan Shichao was born as a civil servant, after handling border affairs for a period of time, he was forced to become both civil and military. He commanded the soldiers, calmly responded to the battle, and used the broken city wall as a cover to fight desperately with the Russians.

"Quick, throw a grenade!"

Boom boom boom... Explosions happened one after another among the Russian soldiers. Every time a group of flames came out, several Russians were blown to pieces. They wailed and screamed in pain.But the Russians who followed seemed to have never heard of it, and they still rushed over the corpses of the people in front with big strides, and there seemed to be no end.

As the battle progressed, Yan Shichao's heart became colder and colder. When they killed one Russian, two or even three would be added. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and the killing became more cruel. Feng Jun's soldiers also kept falling.

The Russians finally broke into Fengjun's position, and both sides waved their bayonets without hesitation, stabbing each other viciously with the cold blade.There are more and more Russians in the trenches, and even one Fengjun soldier has to deal with two or three Russians.

Facing these tall guys, the soldiers didn't have much fear, and they all tried their best. When the pistol bullets ran out, they used bayonets. If the bayonets were broken, they used their hands, feet, or even teeth. It became more and more bloody. The soldiers on both sides hugged each other tightly, grabbed each other's neck, and bit each other's throat like wild beasts.

Some wounded resolutely fired grenades and died together with the Russians. The tenacity of Fengjun has exceeded the imagination of the Russians. This is not the sick man of East Asia at all. The Japanese were no more than that in the Russo-Japanese War.

Yan Shichao also personally shot and killed two Russian soldiers, but he found that the two wings had been broken by the Russians, and the turbulent flow of people came from three directions, and all Fengjun was in danger of being surrounded.

"Sir, the grenade is gone!"

After Yan Shichao heard the news, his heart was completely cold. Since the beginning of the battle, they have been fighting with the Russians for a long time, and there are less than 300 intact soldiers, and there are more than 200 wounded. Died in battle.

Now that the ammunition is in a hurry again, they may only have a dead end.Yan Shichao's eyes were bloodshot, and he completely lost his former demeanor. He shouted loudly: "Brothers, it's time to sacrifice your life to serve the country, and fight the Russians to the end!"

"Blood battle to the end!"

"Blood battle to the end!"

Other soldiers also let out a terrifying roar. At this moment, there was a trace of confusion in the Russian attacking team. Yan Shichao hadn't figured out what was going on, and suddenly a communication soldier ran over.

"Sir, it is Commander Zhong who came back with his brothers. He is attacking the Russians' rear. Let us quickly withdraw from the city, and he will join us!"

"Give up Kemuzik?" Yan Shichao stared wide-eyed: "You are not mistaken, how can you let the Russians occupy our land?"

"Sir, there is no mistake. This is an order personally issued by the High Command. Don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, but use flexible and maneuverable tactics to completely hold the Russians back and turn passive into active!"

When Yan Shichao heard this, he finally understood the intention of his superiors. Taking advantage of the confusion of the Russians, he led the soldiers to withdraw resolutely.

After paying a lot of casualties, the Russians finally occupied Kemuzik, but what awaited them was an unprecedented challenge. From Tannu Ulianghai to the Far East, on the long front, there were everywhere War!

Chapter 557 Taking the Commanding Heights

China and Russia are also two huge countries with the longest border length in the world, and they are the biggest threat to each other.In fact, geographically speaking, the Russians occupy bitter cold places and are at a disadvantage.However, China was in the hands of the Qing government, cowardly and incompetent, allowing the Russians to steal a large area of ​​territory.

The Feng army at this time was completely different. After Zhang Tinglan issued the order to fight flexibly, Qin Wei understood the intention. This was to use harassment tactics to consume the strength of the Russians.This is indeed a very good method. The Russians have no way to guard against the thousands of kilometers of border.

If a surprise attack is launched, the Russians will definitely be in a hurry and overwhelmed. Qin Wei shared the idea with other officers, and everyone agreed.

Wu Kaijie thought for a while and said: "Commander, the method is a good one, but there is one biggest trouble, that is, the Russians have concentrated a large number of troops on the Sino-Russian border. Obviously, they not only want to disturb Tangnu Wulianghai, but also To attack Outer Mongolia, if we mobilize a large number of cavalry at this time, I am afraid it will weaken our strength."

Qin Wei nodded with a smile: "That's right, I brought everyone here just to discuss this out-of-the-box method. Do you have any ideas, which can not only harass the Russians, but also save troops?"
