The telegram was quickly sent from the military hall to the general headquarters of the First Army Corps, and after receiving Wang Jundao's reply, Nie Yuanzheng immediately sent all the conditions and treatment to Hu Jingyun, the head of the Jinzhou underground intelligence station of the Chinese Intelligence Bureau.

At the same time, in accordance with Wang Jundao's instructions, Nie Yuanzheng immediately drew out the three best deputy division commanders, six deputy brigade commanders, 20 deputy regiment commanders, 100 deputy company commanders, and 300 deputy platoon commanders of the First Front Army to form a command battalion, and prepared 7,000 semi-automatic rifles, 3,000 shell guns, 500 boxes of grenades, 500 in each box, 100 wagons, and 300 pack horses.

When Hu Jingyun compiled the information sent by Nie Yuanzheng into a booklet and sent it to Zengqi's hands as soon as possible, Zengqi's first reaction was not to read the contents of the booklet, but to be shocked by the speed of the Dragon and Tiger Army, because it was only twelve hours since he sent the letter of submission to Shanhaiguan!

You must know that there are more than 350 miles from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan, even if his letter is the best and fastest horse, the middle station, the messenger does not stop at all, it will take more than ten hours to send the letter of Guishun to Shanhaiguan.

That is to say, Wang Jundao only took two hours at most to complete everything, and in two hours, it is impossible for a horse to arrive in Jinzhou from Shanhaiguan, train? Not to mention that there is no train from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, even if there is, it is impossible to reach it in two hours.

After a short shock, he figured out everything, Hu Jingyun must have been planted in Jinzhou City by Wang Jundao a long time ago, and the reason why the efficiency is so fast should be the use of wireless telegraphy.

But even with wireless telegraphy, it's a little too efficient, isn't it?

Half a ring, suppressing the shock in his heart, Zeng Qi carefully read the contents of the booklet, and the content was not much.

First, let Zengqi inform the whole army that the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army is willing to accept the Northeast Army. Up and down the Northeast Army, all those who are willing to enter the customs only need to temporarily hand over their weapons before the customs, and they can enter the customs and get the same treatment as the Dragon and Tiger Army, as long as they meet the recruitment conditions of the Dragon and Tiger Army, they can be completely reorganized into the Dragon and Tiger Army, but before that, they must first go to Yanjing for more than three months of military training of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

If Jinzhou is lost, they can retreat to the south first, and the Dragon and Tiger Army will first reinforce a batch of weapons, but they must send a command and combat team to select 10,000 elites in the Northeast Army to form this team, and the command and combat team will guide the elite troops to use weapons and command this team to fight.

As long as the Northeast Army holds out for about 20 days, the follow-up army of the Dragon and Tiger Army will all be able to rush to Shanhaiguan, and all the baggage and materials will also arrive, and then it will be the time of the decisive battle between the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army and the Russian army.

After this battle, the Dragon and Tiger Army can give special treatment to the Northeast Army, and all soldiers of the Northeast Army who are willing to join the Dragon and Tiger Army and accept the integration of the Dragon and Tiger Army, regardless of age, can serve in the Dragon and Tiger Army for two years, and after two years, they will consider whether to retire in accordance with the military system of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

In the former Northeast Army, all officers with more than 500 soldiers, that is, officers at or above the battalion level, can directly enter the China Military Academy for further study according to their will, and after graduation, they can serve as officers based on their ability, and the minimum will not be one level lower than that of the former Northeast Army, and officers below the battalion level can enter the China Military Academy through assessment and other methods, and as long as they can be admitted, after graduation, their military rank will not be lower than the original.

It is a Huili for several important figures such as Zengqi, Shoushan, and Cheng Lighting.

In response to these conditions, Zeng Qi compared with some people who took the initiative to surrender to Wang Jundao, including Yuxian, Li Jingxi, Xu Yingqi, etc., felt that he did not suffer a loss, and even got more than them, and after discussing with Shoushan and Cheng Lighting, he decided to agree to Wang Jundao's conditions.

After that, things were much simpler, Hu Jingyun sent the telegram back to the General Headquarters of the First Front Army, and Nie Yuanzheng immediately sent a regiment of commanders and officers to transport weapons and ammunition out of Shanhaiguan.

On August 6, the Northeast Army could not resist the attack of the Russian army, withdrew from Jinzhou City, and retreated to Jinxi County (now Huludao City).

On 7 August, the officer corps of the Dragon and Tiger Army arrived in Xingcheng County, 40 miles south of Jinxi County, where 60,000 Northeast Army troops were stationed.

With the cooperation of Zengqi, the officer corps immediately selected 5,000 elites and armed them into an army, and after a day of study, these 5,000 elites of the Northeast Army, who had excellent marksmanship, were already proficient in using semi-automatic rifles and shell guns that were completely novel to them.

On 8 August, the 30,000 Northeast Army stationed in Jinxi County could not resist the attack of the Russian army and retreated to Xingcheng, and the officer corps immediately drew 5,000 elite troops from these 30,000 troops to form an army and equip it with new weapons.

On the morning of August 9, the Russian army rushed to the north of Xingcheng and launched an attack on Xingcheng, and the 10,000 newly formed elite and 30,000 Northeast Army relied on the defensive positions that had already been built in Xingcheng to block the Russian coalition army.

Thanks to the semi-automatic rifle designed and produced based on the Garand rifle, a weapon that surpassed the level of firearms of other countries in this era for decades, plus the barge gun with an effective firing range of more than 120 meters, as well as more than a dozen heavy machine guns and more than 20 light machine guns, the Russian army attacked for a whole afternoon, and except for tens of thousands of more corpses on the ground, it did not get anything cheap.

During this period, the Russian army launched countless wave-like charges, and every time they rushed to the front of the Northeast Army, they were greeted by dense grenades with great power and amazing lethality.

Under such circumstances, the Xingcheng Blockade Battle lasted for three days, and it was said that the Russian army mobilized hundreds of artillery pieces to no avail, because the Dragon and Tiger Army had already prepared cat's ear holes, so that the damage to the Northeast Army from the shells of the Russian coalition army was almost zero.

It is said that the Russian army has lost more than 20,000 troops, and the Northeast Army has also lost more than 10,000 troops, and in these three days, except for the wounded soldiers of the Northeast Army who were sent to the customs for treatment, not a single unwounded soldier of the Northeast Army was willing to enter the customs to rest and recuperate.

In these three days, in addition to transporting ammunition, Nie Yuanzheng sent another batch of equipment in accordance with Wang Jundao's instructions, armed 10,000 Northeast Army, and of course, also sent a group of officer corps.

Even so, Wang Jundao still did not order the dispatch of the large army in Shanhaiguan, first, to control the Northeast Army as much as possible and use the Northeast Army to consume the Russian coalition army, and second, to wait for the Second Front Army and the Third Front Army to arrive at the designated position.

This situation lasted until August 15, when the original 90,000 soldiers of the Northeast Army dropped to 60,000.

From the beginning of the Battle of Daling River to now, for more than 20 days, only 60,000 of the 160,000 Northeast Army remained, which can only be described as tragic and magnificent.

Of course, the remaining 60,000 Northeast Army has become a real iron-blooded elite soldier.

On August 16, the main force of the Second Front Army had captured Fenghua County, which was garrisoned by only 500 Russian troops in the south of Jilin Province, occupied the fifth station of the South Manchurian branch line of the Middle Eastern Railway, and marched rapidly to the north, occupying the fourth station of the South Manchurian branch line, Guojiadian, and the third station, Gongzhuling, and stationed two divisions in Gongzhuling to defend the Russian army entrenched in Changchun. The Russian army in Mukden Province was completely blocked in Mukden Province.

On August 17, under the Third Front Army, 30,000 cavalry of the Iron Cavalry Army and 30,000 cavalry of the Fifth Army of the Guards Corps, totaling more than 60,000 cavalry, rushed to Longjiang County by surprise, and captured Longjiang City, which was garrisoned by only more than 700 Russian troops, with lightning speed, completely blocked the Russian railway line from Harbin to Manchuria, and sent 30,000 cavalry to march northwest along the west line of the Eastern Eastern Railway. Completely cut off the logistics line to support the Russian army to reinforce the northeast from Manchuria.

On August 18, the main force of 200,000 troops of the First Front Army rushed to the south bank of the Xingcheng River, joined up with the Northeast Army, which had been holding its position and fighting bloodily for nearly a month, and confronted the 100,000 Russian coalition troops in the north.

The news of the designated position of the three front armies was quickly transmitted by telegram to the staff headquarters of the Yanjing Military Hall.

Wang Jundao and Chief of Staff Lin Zhengnan were looking at the sand table at this time, while listening to Fan Zong, the director of the communications department, read the telegram, until Fan Zong read the telegram for a long time, Lin Zhengnan looked at the sand table and said to Wang Jundao: "Commander, I have an idea. ”

"Oh? I'm also having an idea. Wang Jundao raised his eyebrows and said, "You talk about it first." ”

Lin Zhengnan said: "I think we can open up two main battlefields in the northeast. ”

Wang Jundao was relieved, and smiled and said, "Which two major battlefields?" ”

Lin Zhengnan pointed to the sand table and said: "Commander, the Middle East Railway is centered on Harbin and has been completed in its entirety, and now, the railways from Harbin to Manchuria and Mukden have been blocked by us, that is to say, the west and south lines of the Middle East Railway have been paralyzed, and only the east line to Suifenhe remains, but it is impossible to get strategic materials and too many military supplies to Suifenhe, and in a short time, it is impossible for Russia to directly cross the Heilongjiang River from the Far East, and then go through the Xiaoxing'an Mountains to reinforce Harbin, We can use Harbin as the center to open up the second main battlefield in Northeast China. ”

Wang Jundao nodded with interest, in fact, he was thinking like this just now: "Go on." ”

Lin Zhengnan was slightly excited in his heart, and continued: "We know through intelligence that Russia only has two divisions in Harbin, and in Changchun, there is only one division, from Harbin to Qiqihar, from Changchun to Harbin, and from Harbin to Suiyuan, the Russian army at various strategic points along the railway line adds up to only one or two divisions, that is to say, the Russian army has less than five divisions in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, and the total strength is less than 60,000. However, our Second Front Army and Third Front Army together have a full 330,000 troops, five times the enemy, and the combat effectiveness of our soldiers and the command ability of our officers do not lag behind that of the Russian army, and our weapons are even more advanced than those of the Russian army, so there is no reason why we cannot defeat them. We can completely compress all five divisions of the Russian army to Harbin, and then launch a general attack on Harbin from the south and west. (To be continued.) )
