Fengxian Jiangshan

"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 wave of excitement in China. Young students from all over the country They marched in support of 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 the lease, recovering customs duties, and exempting Boxer indemnity , Take 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!"

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. They are called the Far East Free Army. They have nothing to do with Fengjun. I also want to ask, if China does not go Provocation, can’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, you can not only deceive yourself, but also What can you 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. (To be continued..)
