Years of the Republic of China 1913

"Teacher...!"

"Master seat!"

"Hello sir!"

In the icy and snowy Siberia, the cold wind blows heavy snow and decorates the world into a piece of silver. In the area where the Siberian Plain is backed by the Siberian Plateau, which is the area where the previous Siberian Battle took place, several troops are stationed here.

Although the time for earthwork construction of defensive positions has passed now, with the arrival of winter, the land in Siberia is frozen harder than iron. In this situation, it is impossible to dig trenches and build facilities.However, the troops stationed here had already done most of the work before the arrival of winter, and together with the several defensive positions that were already there, they still completed the task ahead of time.

The advent of severe cold has brought great inconvenience to the daily security and patrol of the garrison troops, but the troops still strictly follow the regulations.It's just that according to the changes in the environment, the time for changing the guard has been shortened by half. After all, in the weather of minus [-] to [-] degrees, even the best soldiers cannot stay in the open air for a long time.

In the early morning of this day, in front of the defensive position, a middle-aged man with bushy eyebrows and big eyes, who looked like a squad leader of a chef, walked over from behind with his hands behind his back, wearing a gray cotton padded jacket. chest, and reported to him loudly, and the middle-aged man stopped in front of the soldiers like an elder, reached out and patted the snowflakes on the shoulders and bodies of the soldiers, greeted them with a smile, and pulled the parents in an approachable manner.

This person is none other than Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the Reorganized 39th Division of the National Defense Forces who came here from northern Shanxi some time ago. His Reorganized 39th Division, together with the original 78th Regiment, which is now the Reorganized 45th Division, will assist the orthodox government of the Russian Empire in defense. Siberian rear positions.

Feng Yuxiang's ability to lead troops is indeed one of the best among Chinese generals. His 39th Division quickly set up defense work after arriving in Siberia. Turn around a few times in front of the position.Visit the soldiers, tell them to keep warm, be careful of frostbite and so on.

These styles of loving soldiers like children made the 39th Division extremely grateful to Feng Yuxiang. Also under his supervision, the soldiers of the 39th Division were not as elite as the 45th Division.But no matter from the perspective of morale and daily patrol work, all are not inferior.

After walking around for nearly an hour, when Feng Yuxiang had almost finished today's inspection work, a lieutenant colonel rushed over.

"Master seat!"

"Oh, it's the Han Zhang..." Feng Yuxiang looked back and frowned when he saw Shi Yousan running profusely: "What's going on? A soldier, a battalion commander! Look at you, Cheng What does it look like!"

Shi Yousan was so frightened that he hurriedly stood at attention, and first straightened his crooked hat.Fasten the discipline button on the collar again, and then salute Feng Yuxiang: "Reporter seat! The commander of the security battalion, Shi Yousan, is reporting to you!"

His expression softened slightly, Feng Yuxiang glared at Shi Yousan, turned around without saying anything, and then said a few words to the soldiers just now with a smile on his face to pay attention to his body.It was not until a few minutes later that Feng Yuxiang finished talking with the soldiers and waved them to continue patrolling.

Turning around, I saw Shi Yousan still standing respectfully.Only then did Feng Yuxiang slowly ask, "What's the matter?"

"Go back to the teacher's seat, Zhang Huchen, the deputy commander of the 45th Division, is waiting for you at the division headquarters..."

Feng Yuxiang was taken aback.Immediately scolded angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier?!"

"I...I...." Shi Yousan opened his mouth but could not utter a word, and drooped his head with a sad face.

"Why are you still standing? Go! See Deputy Teacher Zhang, don't make him wait!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Shi Yousan had no place to disperse the fire in his stomach. If he had known, he would not have come in person. He thought he was flattering, but he thought he was being slapped on the horse's feet, and he was as depressed as he said.

He rushed back to the division headquarters in a hurry.Before Feng Yuxiang arrived at the half-bunked division headquarters, a loud voice came from far away: "Is it brother Huchen? Brother Huchen! Hahaha, I'm so sorry. Knowing that you are coming today, you have to pick it up in person no matter what! You are rude, you are really rude."

Come with the sound and the snow.Zhang Huchen, who was sitting by the stove warming up the fire, stood up quickly when he heard Feng Yuxiang's yelling, but before he went out to greet him, the curtain rolled up, and Feng Yuxiang's tall figure appeared at the door.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! You've neglected, you've neglected Brother Huchen." As soon as he entered the door, Feng Yuxiang hurried up to meet Zhang Huchen's right hand tightly with a pair of big hands, shaking his face with a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum.

"Hehe, Brother Huanzhang sent his heart to the troops. He personally visits the frontiers to inspect the work every day. He is really a model for our soldiers and an object to learn from! No wonder the central government specially sent Brother Huanzhang here, and only Brother Huanzhang is like this. Only soldiers can take on such a heavy responsibility.”

"Don't dare, what is my old Feng compared to Brother Huchen? My old Feng Qiu is one of eight big bastards. I can't compare with Mr. Bai and his military academy. He has also gone abroad to drink foreign ink and see the world. For Leading soldiers, my old Feng only knows how to love soldiers like sons, officers and soldiers are just one body, compared to others, it is not worth mentioning at all, not worth mentioning!" Feng Yuxiang mocked himself modestly, and Zhang Huchen immediately laughed.

"Hahaha, compared to brother Huanzhang, my younger brother is actually even worse. If it wasn't for the prime minister's cultivation, I'm afraid I, Zhang Huchen, would still be gaining momentum in Tianqiao. Brother Huanzhang's words really make my younger brother ashamed."

Feng Yuxiang was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, patted Zhang Huchen on the shoulder affectionately and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, brother Huchen, I almost forgot if I didn't mention it, you and I come from similar backgrounds, no wonder we hit it off right away. However, compared to Hu Chen, I, Old Feng, are still extremely envious, the Prime Minister is a great talent, Brother Hu Chen is fortunate to have stayed by the Prime Minister's side for so many years, and in terms of ability, he must be much better than me, Old Feng."

"Don't dare not dare, it's just talking on paper. Brother, it's my first time leading troops. Brother Huanzhang is a senior. There is still a lot to learn."

"Learning together, making progress together...haha!"

The two sides flattered each other, and the atmosphere seemed unusually harmonious.In fact, anyone who is familiar with Feng Yuxiang knows that if it weren't for Zhang Huchen who came today, even Bai Chongxi would not have been so enthusiastic.The key point is that this Huchen is not an ordinary person. No one in the army knows that he is Fang Zida's confidant. Ever since Fang Zida followed Song Jiaoren to Beijing, Zhang Huchen has followed Fang Zida. official.Although his actual power is not great, he is even more important in the eyes of outsiders than Zhou Yuanliang, the original intelligence chief.

Holding Zhang Huchen's hand and sitting down, the orderly made a pot of milk tea and brought it up.Feng Yuxiang, who seemed a little embarrassed, also explained a few words specifically, because their 39th division did not have any good tea, and the weather in Siberia was cold, so they drank this kind of milk tea from top to bottom.

"Milk tea is good, nutritious and anti-hunger. Drinking it in this weather is much better than drinking ordinary tea." Zhang Huchen said with a smile, picked up the milk tea and drank it, put down the bowl to wipe his mouth, and took out the Yan Lai handed Feng Yuxiang one.

"Brother Huchen, why did you come to me today...?" After saying the polite words and recounting the old things, he even drank milk tea and smoked a cigarette, Feng Yuxiang asked about the business.

"Something happened in the west. I just received the news. This is a telegram." Zhang Huchen took the leather bag that was put aside, opened it, took out a telegram and handed it to Feng Yuxiang.Because the telegram team is set up at the 45th Division's resident, generally the 45th Division will know about anything, and then pass it on to the 39th Division through a correspondent or by phone.It's just that it was the first time that the deputy division commander sent it over in person like today. Before reading the telegram, Feng Yuxiang guessed that something serious must have happened, so he couldn't help but suppress his smile and read it carefully.

The content of the telegram was very long, mainly describing the events that took place in Serov.The text described the situation and the cause and effect in a neutral manner, and then attached a summary of Stalin's open letter to the Russian people.

After carefully reading it twice, Feng Yuxiang gradually frowned, holding the telegram in one hand, and gently patted his thigh with the other, as if he was thinking about something.

"Difficult!"

"Yes, it's difficult!" Zhang Huchen and Feng Yuxiang seemed to be in a trance and said something that others could not understand, and sighed. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful for a few months. It seems that we not only need to make defensive preparations, but also make some other preparations. Brother Huanzhang, what do you think?"

"Is this what Master Bai meant?" Feng Yuxiang answered the question.

Nodding his head slightly, Zhang Huchen said: "Prepare for a rainy day, prepare early, and do it properly."

"No problem! Brother Huchen, please tell Master Bai that the 39th Division and the 45th Division will advance and retreat together."

"Okay! Brother Huanzhang then, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Huchen didn't expect things to go so smoothly, Feng Yuxiang agreed so readily, stood up with a smile and was about to leave.

Feng Yuxiang stayed a few words, seeing that Zhang Huchen insisted on returning to the 45th Division because of his military affairs, he had no choice but to give up, and he returned to the division after personally sending him out of the station.After returning to the division headquarters, Feng Yuxiang picked up the telegram just now and read it again, nodding and shaking his head, looking at Shi Yousan standing beside him in a daze.

"Master, didn't you just kill some common people? It deserves so much attention?"

Feng Yuxiang rolled his eyes, and immediately cursed: "You know nothing! What do you mean by killing thousands of people? This Stalin is the real vicious man! Look at what he does and what he says, the one who makes great things happen." He doesn’t stick to small details, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, that’s what he’s talking about. Even Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms was probably not as good as him. This man, if he is like Stalin, what can’t he do?” (unfinished to be continued..)
