The Republic of Heroes

Liu Mingqiu wanted to reprimand him, but when he heard what the soldier said, he trembled, the celadon tureen in his hand slipped and shattered, cold sweat immediately left behind, and he secretly groaned in his heart.

Wu Xiaoliang was also nervous for a while. He was still discussing the withdrawal of troops. Unfortunately, the radio station of the Suidong Army Headquarters was malfunctioning, and he could not be contacted for a long time. There was no news from the person sent to contact him. Whether it's an enemy or a friend, fortunately Ma Zhanshan is still resting in the city. His company of troops is extremely powerful and is a key help.

"Let's go and see what's going on."

Liu Mingqiu was 1 unwilling and did not dare to rebel against the person who held the real power in Dongning City, so he got up with him.

When he arrived at the east gate, Wu Xiaoliang picked up his binoculars and saw a big red flag flying in the wind, with two large black characters "Suidong" embroidered on it. He couldn't help feeling excited that his Suidong army had finally arrived.

The Suidong Army sent a whole battalion of well-equipped student soldiers this time, but the number two figure, Yin Chengfu, did not come in person. The leader was a newly promoted student battalion commander, surnamed Liang and surnamed Yuchun.However, Yin Chengfu didn't come because something happened in Suidong.The Belarusian Pokampin’s Shuangcheng Sub-Brigade went north and quickly went south, approaching the Suidong Army. At the same time, Vladivostok also seemed to have sent more than two regiments of troops, which made Yin Chengfu very nervous and also made him fall into a difficult choice. In this dilemma, the brigade commander was besieged in Dongning. If he did not go to rescue the brigade commander, he would be in danger. However, if he sent troops to rescue him, the White Russian army would surely take advantage of the situation. the idea.

After several ideological struggles, Yin Chengfu finally chose the former and tried his best to deal with the White Russian brigade. He first sent the first battalion to test the Shuangchengzi brigade stationed by the Suifen River, then the second battalion pretended to attack Shuangchengzi, and the third battalion moved between the two battalions. Time, at any time to make countermeasures.

Potemkin's idea was to subdue others without fighting, and Yin Chengfu also had the same idea, just to see whose nerves are stronger and can persevere to the end.After receiving the report that the Suidong Army was about to attack Shuangchengzi, Potemkin, who was in charge of Shuangchengzi, couldn't hold on any longer. The Suidong First Battalion on the outskirts of Chengzi also began to retreat. The two armies encountered each other on the way and passed each other.

Yin Chengfu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the news of the retreat of the Shuangchengzi brigade, and sent Liang Yuchun to lead the fourth regiment to assist Dongning overnight, but he still did not dare to send the main force. He relaxed his vigilance, and in this confrontation between the two armies, the decision he made actually took a huge risk. No matter how wise and correct the decision was, he would ignore the leader if he abandoned it. Those who violate the taboo will probably not be seen by the general in the future. Therefore, he made the choice that is most beneficial to the Suidong Army, and in fact he made the choice that sacrificed the most to himself.This choice also brought great troubles to his political career in the second half of his life. In the following decades, his opponents repeatedly mentioned this matter, and even made conspiracy theory inferences. The inference has always been sneered, and he laughed it off, and only said a word: "Zhenzhi should be Xiao He!"

When Liang Yuchun met, he said shyly, "Brigade Commander, we are late!"

"Brother Yu Cong, you came at the right time!"

Wu Xiaoliang and Liang Yuchun are old acquaintances, and the two of them had spent time together in the prison of the Beijing Police Department, but ever since they had a superior-subordinate relationship, Liang Yuchun still consciously adjusted his position and no longer referred to him as brother and brother with the brigade commander. It made Wu Xiaoliang very depressed.

Wu Xiaoliang ordered people to retrieve the remains of Hu Liuyi and others, and held a grand funeral for them. All the Suidong Army stationed in Dongning attended. After the ceremony, all the soldiers of the Suidong Army loaded their bullets and fired nine shots into the sky.This kind of courtesy is also not available in the whole world. A memorial service is held for the dead soldiers, and their meritorious deeds are posthumously awarded. Their merits are affirmed. The dead are comforted and the living are moved.

"Following such a chief, it's worth it!"

If Wu Xiaoliang knew what he was doing and the soldiers treated him that way, he would probably have to smile wryly again. He had always hoped to arm his army with socialist ideals, but in the end he went back to the old path of giving both kindness and power.

Li Wuyi fell to the ground and cried bitterly at the funeral. He and Hu Liuyi were brothers when they were beggars. They were rescued by Wu Xiaoliang and they were both guards. Good brother regrets.

The Battle of Dongning had been fought, and the reinforcements sent by the Suidong Army were useless. This disappointed Liang Yuchun, who was gearing up, but his hopes soon burned.

In less than three days, it was reported that Gao Shibin had been appointed by Meng Enyuan as the commander of the Jilin Temporary First Division. He used the main force of the Yanhu army to leave Yanji and go northward to Dongning, as if he came here for revenge.At this moment, the Dongning garrison has received military aid from Zhang Zuolin, and has plenty of weapons and ammunition.This Butcher Gao was the nickname given to Gao Shijun by the Suidong Army in private.

The news that Gao Shiying was appointed as the division commander to send troops to Dongning soon spread to Beijing. Xu Shuzheng slapped the table angrily and scolded: "This Meng Enyuan has reached the point where he must be dealt with. Mr. Zhi, why don't you transfer him to the capital and let him hang out?" Let him dry!" Then he said: "Weizhong, in Dongning, this Meng Enyuan was tossed hard, otherwise he wouldn't have killed him, and now it seems that this needle can't penetrate the three provinces of the Northeast. You can put nails in there."

"Okay, let's recruit him to Beijing and give him General Huiwei! But how to put the nails, and which one to put?" Duan Qirui nodded in agreement and at the same time expressed his doubts.

"The son of Mr. Chen's family in the Ministry of Finance, and the young man surnamed Fang who just returned to Beijing, are all old subordinates in Weizhong. It would be perfect to put them in. What is lacking now is just a suitable opportunity."

Duan Qirui nodded again: "Your words are reasonable." Then he smiled and said: "With Wu Weizhong's hard work, I believe this opportunity will appear soon."

……

Wu Xiaoliang did not intend to sit still, and decided to take the initiative to attack. He left a platoon of troops to assist Li Shuangcai, the battalion commander of the patrol battalion, to garrison Dongning, and then led Liang Yuchun's [-]st Battalion and Li Wuyi's guard platoon to kill south along the Suifen River tributary.Naturally, Ma Zhanshan was not willing to be lonely, so he also took his second company along with him.
