In the south of the city, a group of infantry is marching with difficulty, they are the vanguard of the first division, after a few days of hard trekking, everyone is advancing with their will, and further south, there is a special group of people, they continue to go south, they are ordinary people who have withdrawn from the city, they are the troops of the first division, they were escorted by a company sent by the first division, and the photos and graphic information obtained from the city of buying and selling, they rushed to Kulen through guò fast horses.

Russia's invasion of the city of Buying, this is a sure fact, the northwest has long known, before it was to prevent the Russian dog from jumping off the wall, and now the war has begun, even if it is to unite the people's resistance, it is necessary to put some signals out, the liberation of Mongolia is only preliminary, and resisting the Russian army is the most important.

Fast horses, all the way to change horses without changing people, it took a day to catch up with more than 200 kilometers, letters and pictures to Kulun, and then use the fastest car and train, specifically to Baotou, the letter only took 48 hours, that is, 2 days, arrived at the base camp, and Yang Yuanzhao They have been waiting for this letter for a long time, which is related to the next publicity.

The fierce battle for the city continued, but with 1,400 men and all the doctors of the first army, the possibility of losing the city had been reduced to a minimum, and the first division, which was ordered to advance at high speed, was also contacted with the order to advance at full speed, and instead moved steadily to strive for the arrival of all the troops, except for the 2 battalions of the leading troops, continued to go to the city, which was now approaching, and at the latest at night, it would be possible to enter the position of the city through the guò tunnel, The number of military personnel in the city will increase to about 4,500, and such people are still only one-sixth or seventh of the Russian army in Kyakhta on the other side, but the persistence of the elite army and the harassment and night raids of the special forces will level the gap between them, as long as there are no more new troops, basically, the battle line will be fixed in the city of buying and selling.

From the beginning of the firefight, a full 5 days of operation, all the detailed battle reports and casualties, have been reported to the Baotou side through the guò radio, it can be said that Wu Jian and Lan Rongzeng have fought well, the Russian army's firepower advantage is also quite obvious, if the heavy equipment of the first division can not go up, even if it is invested, it will be quite a loss, let the first division be a little slower, gather the troops, and strive to let the heavy artillery troops pass faster.

According to the liaison with Cai Yi, most of the first division is close to the area of 60 kilometers of the city, and the heavy artillery unit is a little behind, 100 kilometers, as long as the repair of the vehicles is urgently completed, and the follow-up vehicles catch up, the heavy artillery units will arrive at the specified position within five days and begin to build a position with there as the center.

Baotou's heavy artillery, the prototype is Krupp, as well as some of the naval guns' molds, up to now, basically every one is produced by an all-in-one machine, the power is strong, the one-time molding of the drilling machine and boring machine, the perfect rifling, plus Baotou's promotion on the smokeless gunpowder, the power of the 105 guns, it exceeds the 120 guns of the Russian army, not to mention the 155 guns, as long as it can reach the position of 12 kilometers south of Baotou, in the reserved artillery position, Baotou is on the artillery fire, It is enough to suppress the two divisions of the Russian army on the opposite side, the 48 105 and 12 155 of one division, not only the range is extremely long, but the power is also huge enough, and the elite gunners in Baotou will let the Russian artillery feel the artillery power from China.

The train slowly drove in, carrying photos and graphic information, directly into the base camp, Yang Yuanzhao, who had been waiting for the news for a long time, after seeing it in person, the tragic situation of the people and the loss of the trading city were shocking, especially the loss of more than 400 soldiers and civilians, which is proved by photos.

In the base camp, looking at the information in his hand, Yang Yuanzhao asked, "Brother Zelin, are the newspapers ready?" ”

"It's been prepared for a long time, will these things be given to a newspaper, or will they be all of them?"

"All right, I'll help copy it later, by the way, the number of casualties is not exaggerated!"

Liu Shu nodded, no way, although the loss is very large, but the real casualty figure of 400 is too little, I am afraid that once it breaks out, even Russia does not believe it, annihilated 15,000 of them, and now it has reached 20,000 The military of the trading city, the loss is only two or three hundred, plus more than 100 people, it is not more than 500, which makes me afraid that no one will believe it.

Slightly exaggerated, the number of casualties was finally determined at about 1,500 people, the picture and text will not be changed, Baotou gave an article, a detailed description of the current situation of the entire trading city, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers died, by the way, the previous Russian atrocities, one by one, one by one, lasted half a century, detailed to each event, these are Baotou carefully prepared, and even went to the field to investigate.

More than 1,000 casualties, this is not a big deal for the whole country, back then, in the northeast of the seventy-two tun, more people died, but the people's wisdom is not open, coupled with the Qing court's deliberate concealment, everyone does not know about this matter, has been saying for many years, but now, in the face of Russian armed intervention, the northwest, can say no to the Russians.

"Telegraph the whole country, expose the atrocities of the Russians here, we want to encircle the territory of China and liberate Mongolia." At the same time as the electricity was opened, a large amount of graphic information was transmitted to newspapers all over the country, and now China, which can barely pass the guò train, in two or three days, transmits a large amount of information and literature. With such bold words, the telegram was transmitted to the whole country, and everyone was stunned, not for the 1,000 souls of the city, but for China There is actually a person who dares to resist the aggression of the great powers, how many years, except for 1900, the ignorant Queen Mother of the West, declared war on all the powers, the rulers of China, how long has it been so tough, a small barren northwest, a local government, so arrogant.

Britain acted first, and they were full of anxiety and vigilance for the northwest, and in just a few years, the northwest developed to this kind of course, and if he was given a few more years to pay it back, perhaps, it would be the rise of another great power. Once all industrialization is completed, the pressure brought by a population of 40,000 is far from being comparable to that of the United States or Germany, and once it rises, it will have a great impact on Britain's strategic deployment in the Far East, and even India, the crown jewel, which is not conducive to Britain's global layout.

Britain was the first to attack, followed by France, Japan and Russia, Russia's proclamation of Mongolian independence, respect for the Mongolian living Buddha and the choice of the Mongolian people, sounds high-sounding, but in fact it is arrogant, beautifying naked aggression as the so-called liberation, asking the Chinese government to refrain from anger, not to anger Russia, otherwise it will be military retaliation.

The reaction at home was mixed, and the majority of progressives openly supported the actions of the Northwest and opposed the gross interference of the great powers in China's internal affairs, especially the innocent and injured ordinary people, and the blood-sparkling photos and the comparison between the before and present of the trading city can be said to have touched the hearts of the broad masses of people and progressives from the depths of their hearts.

Relative to the enthusiasm of the people, the two strong Beiyang and Southern ** parties, did not have any reaction, they are waiting and seeing, the northwest is really against Russia, no matter what, the weakening is certain, as long as the weakening to a certain extent, belonging to the wealth and industry of the northwest, maybe it can give them great help. The two major groups have only a small number of marginal people and weak voices to support, and they are more in the deployment of troops, and the purpose is not the other side but the northwest.

Looking at the international and domestic protests, Yang Yuanzhao was already prepared, in fact, at the same time as the pictures and photos were sent, the first war report against Russia was also sent at the same time, and it was still in the offices around the country for the time being, just waiting for the reaction at home and abroad, now, looking at the faces of the great powers, Yang Yuanzhao coldly ordered to show the war report, which not only showed the muscles of the northwest, but also let the powers see the determination and strength of the northwest.

The first stage of the war report, mainly aimed at the Russian 173rd Division and the 179th Division, it can be said that the battle report is extremely beautiful, the cumulative number of killed and wounded more than 15,000 Russian troops, the 173rd and 179th divisions, almost were hit hard, I am afraid that even the seeds are difficult to stay, such a war report came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and even the influence was still on top of the previous tragedy of the trading city.

After all, since 1840, whether it is the north or the south, the great powers have created fewer tragedies in China, the Chinese have resisted and been suppressed, and what can be done in the end is just helpless, the northwest dares to resist the great powers Russia, this is to be supported, but whether it can withstand it, what Cheng dù hits, no one has a bottom in their hearts, and even some people still think darkly in their hearts, this northwest, angered the great powers Russia, maybe, it is difficult to end.

But now, there are really people who say no to the powers, and even on the battlefield where the heavy troops gather, the great powers are really defeated, and the number of enemies annihilated is huge, the real battle report, two Cossack cavalry divisions, more than 20,000 Russian soldiers were annihilated seventy percent, the first person to see it, the first thought is, is this true, Britain, France and Japan are also promoting false numbers in Baotou, fake big empty, but what is puzzling is that the Russian minister did not protest, did not speak, in the persecution of other ministers, and finally held back a sentence, Two Russian divisions did suffer losses, but not as much as reported.

Can make arrogant Russia pinch its nose and answer to suffer losses, the number on this battle report may really be true, Russia's military strength, especially the army, is second-rate in front of Britain and Germany, but there are still a number of the powers, especially the regular Cossack cavalry division, when, this northwest, which will only develop the economy, has such a huge military strength.
