The Republic of Heroes

Wu Xiaoliang took over Yanji in an all-round way, and most of the gathered Yanhu army surrendered one after another, demanding to join the Suidong Army and declare their allegiance to Wu Xiaoliang, but Wu Xiaoliang did not agree, because he did not have the strength to swallow and digest them. Show goodwill, because the two have a common enemy and interests, if they swallow Yanji, it is tantamount to inserting a nail directly under Zhang Zuolin's nose, although the relationship between the two will not break down immediately If it becomes subtle, it's better to be a favor and let him deal with it.

Second, these surrendered soldiers have been soldiers for many years and have no loyalty at all. Eating them will greatly affect the existing combat effectiveness and morale of the Suidong Army. The root cause is also related to Wu Xiaoliang's implementation of the policy of elite soldiers Direct relationship.

Therefore, in Wu Xiaoliang's plan, no piece of land in Yanji and Hunchun will be occupied, and no soldiers from the Hun army will be accepted.Li Zejun smacked his lips when he heard this, and said unwillingly: "Then let's just work for nothing?"

"No..."

In the middle of the conversation, Liang Yuchun rushed in through the door and said anxiously: "Brigade Commander, it's not good, something happened in Suidong?"

This Liang Yuchun, since he joined the Suidong Army, had a reckless and extreme character in the past, and was prudent and conservative in everything. Now that he is rushing in, it can be seen that the situation is urgent and serious in his heart.When Wu Xiaoliang heard about the accident in Suidong, the so-called caring is chaotic, he felt tense, and asked, "Speak slowly, what's the matter?"

"Yakov's Red Army guerrillas went south. They exchanged fire with us once yesterday. This time, they are afraid that the comers will be unkind. It's not like going through the motions. Commander Yin asked the brigade commander to come back quickly."

Wu Xiaoliang felt a big headache when the wolf was driven out by the front door and the tiger was entered by the back door. Without delay, he blocked the news and announced that the Suidong Army would return to Suidong and hand over all defenses in Yanji to Ma Zhanshan.Ma Zhanshan felt ashamed that he had stolen Wu Xiaoliang's victory, so he prepared a large amount of supplies for him to take away.But Wu Xiaoliang was in a hurry to go back to Suidong, and it was inappropriate to bring his luggage, so he politely declined. This offer and refusal changed the positions of host and guest, and Yanji's surname was Ma from then on.

The Suidong army walked Yanlai Road for a day and a night, but they have not yet reached the tributary of the Suifen River, the Great Suifen River. It snowed heavily, covering the sky and the sun, and it didn't stop until noon the next day.In the early spring of Northeast China, repeated heavy snowfall is a common occurrence. Even an old Northeast merchant like Ma Kaishan can’t tell where he is. Before Wu Xiaoliang’s heart was in Suidong, he ordered the troops to march forcibly. So far, Suidong’s army was completely lost and had to stick to one road. .

Because there was no portable radio, it was impossible to get in touch with Suidong, and because of the heavy snow, he lost his way. He walked blindly for two days and one night, still spinning around in the dense forest, and his morale gradually declined.When they finally reached the edge of the dense forest, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and the soldiers immediately became tense. They were about to fight just after they walked out of the forest, and their fighting spirit was not yet raised.Wu Xiaoliang quickly ordered the army to be on alert on the spot, and at the same time sent scouts to investigate the enemy's situation.

Wu Xiaoliang did not rest on the spot, but led Li Zejun's guards out of the edge of the dense forest, and carefully observed the terrain with a telescope in the open area.There was a burst of excitement in his heart, and he even went to the seaside. Where is this place?Is it in China, or in Russia?Or North Korea?

Li Zejun obviously also noticed the white and open land. The terrain here is full of strangeness, and a faint uneasiness grows in his body. Dongning is getting further and further away."

The wind from the open area blows away the cold clouds and mist, the morning light in early spring gradually turns from red to white, and everyone finally gets their bearings. Guns are rumbling from time to time in the east, and heavy black smoke floats from the sky. This kind of smoke is only the towering chimneys of factories. Only then did it come out.

"Qian Ting, it's not bad as expected, we should have reached the territory of the Russians, and the city ahead is also the Russians."

When Li Zejun heard about the Russian territory, he immediately became excited. This meant that there would be a battle to fight, and he could let out the bad breath he had accumulated in his chest after walking around in the woods these days.

"Brigade Commander, give the order, how shall we fight?" Li Zejun began to gear up.

"We don't know the enemy, what are we going to fight?" Wu Xiaoliang replied angrily. If this Li Zejun said it a hundred times, he might not be able to change his recklessness.

The scouts quickly brought back news that the ragged old man was besieging a big city, and it was a big city by the sea. There was an ironclad ship cruising outside the port, and the sound of the guns came from the large-caliber artillery on the ship. Come.The battle was very fierce, and the defenders in the city were already in decline. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated, and it was estimated that they would not be able to survive at this time tomorrow at most.

"Brigade Commander, what should we do? To fight or not to fight." Li Zejun raised the question of whether to fight or not, and now this is also a question hanging in the hearts of everyone in the Suidong Army.

At this time, Wu Xiaoliang already had a rough outline in his heart, what was lacking was nothing more than confirmation.After thinking over and over again, he ordered: "The troops leave the dense forest, and the whole team goes to the battlefield to watch the battle."

"Yes!" Liang Yuchun readily agreed, but there was a question mark in his heart, watching the battle?He couldn't figure it out.

Hundreds of troops from the Suidong Army checked the ammunition and equipment, and drove to the edge of the battlefield. Every time the steel warships on the sea in the distance fired a cannon, the ground trembled. The huge power made many soldiers of the Suidong Army who had never even seen the sea tongue-tied.

Wu Xiaoliang sighed, without the artillery support from the warships, the defenders in the city would have retreated long ago.

The siege troops in ragged clothes obviously noticed this army of unknown origin, and the rhythm of the siege slowed down, and they began to free up people to guard against these uninvited guests.At the same time, the defenders in the city also noticed this situation, but what the defenders in the city did was not divide their troops for defense, but sent envoys to ask for help.

Wu Xiaoliang looked at the bearded man in front of him and thought, it was as expected.

"Honorable General, I am Baron Nevsky of Vladivostok." The mandarin of the bearded man was very blunt. He took off his civilized hat with his right hand and put it on his chest. Looking directly at Wu Xiaoliang, neither humble nor overbearing, is very different from the previous Shuangchengzi envoy Ivanov.He spoke in blunt Mandarin again:

"On behalf of Prince Petrov, I'm here to ask for help from His Excellency the Great General, damn it, if Vladivostok is captured, they will destroy this beautiful port city, women and children will be driven mad by them The people’s property will be looted by them, can you just sit back and watch this tragedy happen?”
