As soon as they entered Zhangwu County, Shoutian Liyuan and his entourage did not delay, and went directly to the headquarters of the Anti-Russian Volunteer Army, which, according to the newspaper report, was located in the courtyard of a wealthy gentry in the city.

"Freeze to death without demolishing the house, starve to death without plundering!"

This is the description of the volunteers in the newspaper, three months ago, when the volunteers just left Zhangwu, they have been working in this tent, and later the rich gentleman surnamed Zhang donated his house as the headquarters of the anti-Russian army, although it is said that "freeze to death without demolishing the house, starve to death without plundering!" "Sneered, but Shoutian Liyuan had an experience of the military discipline of the volunteers along the way.

After several checks, the three of them stepped into the courtyard and heard the sound of conversation not far away. It was a veranda with several officers sitting in it, wearing the green uniforms of the Volunteers, which showed that they were officers of the resistance to the Russian army.

Listening to them talking about the possible war between Yuben and Lucia, Morita Toshiyuan only felt a sense of excitement, and occasionally heard them also infer that Yuben would be able to win these wars, his mood was faintly excited, or these Qing people have insight!

It seems that not only in the capital of the Qing Dynasty, but also in the political courts, who believed that they would have won, "not the competition of the army, but the competition of politics." "This is not a war between Russia and Russia, but also a battle between constitutionalism and the two forms of government", those people are for political purposes, but these soldiers who have fought against the Lu army for several months undoubtedly have more right to speak.

After finding Shimada Shaosa, the liaison person of the Volunteer Army, he took him to the reception of the Volunteer Army. After being received by an officer at the reception, Morita Toshito first expressed his admiration for the Russian army, and then expressed his wish to meet General Lin Yanren, and a few minutes later, Morita Toshiko, led by a second lieutenant officer, went to a wing room located in the back house, which was only four small wings in the conjoined house, and compared to the main hall where the headquarters was located, this was undoubtedly where the servants lived in the past.

With the second lieutenant, he came to Lin Yanren's office, and the outer room was a room, and two military caopers sat in the room. After entering the real office, Morita Toshiyuan found that the furnishings of this office were extremely simple, with cloth curtains hanging between the walls, apparently to separate the room, and the three walls were covered with military maps, and the maps were filled with red and white pennants. The interior is furnished with a writing desk and a few wooden chairs, which seem to be extremely simple, and completely different from the luxurious office of an ordinary Qing general.

Lin Yanren, who was wearing a brown military uniform, holding a red and blue pencil in his right hand, was sitting behind a large writing desk, looking at official documents, and there was a military map next to him, obviously making some battle plan. Hearing the report, he raised his head, bowed slightly, and a smile appeared on his long face.

At this time, Morita Liyuan found that Lin Yanren had shaved his head like the other soldiers, and his scalp was covered with green ballast. His eyes, though small, were dark and bright, with a majestic gaze and a small thick black beard on his lips. Although it was only the first impression, this person left the impression that Shoutian Liyuan had a military temperament, worthy of being a soldier who had studied in Lu Shi.

"Welcome to China!"

Lin Yanren politely greeted the visiting guests, who had provided the Volunteers with more than 6,000 rifles in the past three months, and in return, the Volunteers helped them blow up three railway bridges.

"I've heard Mr. Shimada mention Morita for a long time, and it's a pleasure to meet Mr. Morita today."

The words were polite, but Lin Yanren sat there arrogantly and greeted Shoutian Liyuan, these help and their arrival are all purposeful, even if it is to provide assistance to the volunteers, it is also necessary to pay a price, and it is forced to cooperate with him, and he can easily send the weapons, ammunition, medicines, and military supplies that the volunteers need to the jurisdiction of the volunteers by relying on their privileges, but the family is going through a lot of trouble.

After a few polite words, Shoutian Liyuan sat down, and his evaluation of Lin Yanren in his heart dropped a little.

"You went to inspect the Russian army this time, I'm afraid your country is preparing to fight with Russia!"

Without waiting for Shoutian to answer, Lin Yanren turned the conversation around and said.

"The current situation in the northeast is not optimistic, the Russian army has more than 200,000 troops in the northeast, and we have failed in several surprise attacks, Mr. Shoutian, your abacus is very shrewd, you provide weapons, we help you destroy the logistics of the Russian army, so that your hope of defeating the Russian army has increased a few times."

He looked at Morita and smiled.

"Of course, there is no doubt that you can defeat the Russians, but I need you to understand that if you need our help, then you must provide more weapons, not just rifles and silver dollars, but we also need artillery, shells and more rifles, ammunition and silver dollars."

It's just that as soon as they met, Lin Yanren directly asked for something from Shoutian Liyuan and Shimada, and the telegram from home said very clearly, try to knock a little more from the wronged boss, but these people are really small countries and widows, and their bids have never been generous.

"General Lin, please rest assured, I will definitely convey your request to our political axe, this time I brought 1,200 rifles and 1,000 boxes of ammunition, in the future, if the war really starts, once the strength of the Lu army is contained by the imperial army, you can directly march in the direction of the Bohai Sea, I believe that after your army has mastered the sea at that time, the assistance we provide to your army will be further increased!"

Morita Toshiyuan said and accentuated his tone, "Of course, the aid is matched with the performance of your army on the battlefield, if your army shows ...... on the battlefield"

"Do you doubt the fighting power of the Volunteers?"

With a blank face, Lin Yanren asked in a cold voice.

"In the future, you will know that the combat effectiveness of the Volunteers is in no way inferior to that of your [***] team! Okay, Mr. Morita, first of all, I thank you for your help, but I also need to remind you that there is no agreement between the Volunteers and your country, and it is a shame for the soldiers for the two powers to tear apart and kill on the land of China, and the reason why we cooperate with your country is only because of the common enemy, if after driving out the Russians, you just replace the Russians and try to occupy the northeast, then the Anti-Russian Volunteers will be renamed the Anti-Russian Volunteers, and I think that when the time comes, you will know the combat effectiveness of the Volunteers! ”

Lin Yanren's cold words only made Morita Toshiyuan and Shimada show some embarrassment on their faces, they didn't expect Lin Yanren to say it so bluntly.

"General Lin, please believe that the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are of the same language and the same species, and the reason why we are fighting with Lucia is precisely to protect your country's Manchuria, this is Asia, and the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are both Asian countries, and it is really within their duty to support each other!"

Shimada hurriedly explained on the side.

Through this brief meeting, Lin Yanren made an impression on Morita Liyuan, which was neither good nor bad. Lacking political acumen, no vision, and a typical military style, it is impossible to become a pillar of the Qing Dynasty like Yuan Shikai. However, unlike Yuan Shikai, who compromised with foreign countries, he was keen on war against foreigners, and was a typical nationalist, with Qing arrogance in his bones.

"It should be reported to the country, and the aid to the volunteers should not be increased, this army and Lin Yanren will never become friends with this army!"

In leaving Lin Yanren's office, in addition to Lin Yanren's evaluation, Morita Liyuan also made an evaluation of the Volunteer Army, this army may be different from many Qing [***] teams, but this general is really too reckless.

"Rude and brainless!"

Shimada lowered his voice and said a word to Morita.

"That's why we decided to support them, Morita, people like this are better to deal with, you know?"

As the two of them walked forward, Morita Toshito met a young officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel, this officer in a leather coat was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and where he had seen it!

"Lieutenant Colonel Cai!"

Shimada greeted first.

"Here you come, Mr. Shimada!"

Cai Yi nodded his head and said hello, he didn't have much contact with Shimada, but walked directly in the direction of the commander's office.

"Cai Yi, Cai Songpo, the commander of the Sixth Regiment of the Volunteer Army!"

"Sixth Regiment? Is it the Sixth Regiment that attacked Siping Street? ”

Shoutian Liyuan couldn't help but be surprised, and looked back at that person twice, he didn't expect that this person was the chief officer of the anti-Russian army that attacked Siping Street.

"That's right! It's his troops! ”

Cai ,...... Did he also graduate from Lu Shi?"

"How do you know each other?"

Cai Ye, who walked into the governor's office, didn't know that behind him, the two people were talking about him, and the reason why he came here was for another matter.

"Inhyun, I wonder why?"

Cai Ye quietly looked at the chief sitting in front of him, the Lin Yanren in front of him was in the two realms of Lu Shigao and him, although the two did not know each other in the past, but now they are barely friends. But three days earlier, he had received an unexpected order, he had been ordered to hand over the troops to the deputy commander and return to the headquarters immediately. When he returned to the headquarters, he learned that not only him, but Baili and others had been dismissed from their posts in the staff office and handed over command in the army.

"Songpo, when you were Gengzi, you often returned to China with Tang Cai to participate in the uprising of the Self-Reliance Army. After the defeat, he changed his name to "Ng", determined to "shed blood to save the people", and ...... here"

Lin Yanren looked at Cai Ye with a smile, he was going to see them off tonight, but he didn't expect him to come first.

"You may be able to shed blood to save people, but the place where blood is really shed to save people is not here, so you have to go somewhere else!"

He also wanted to let them go, this time there were more than 200 officers, seven regiments of the Volunteer Army, more than 20,000 people, as many as 200 Lu non-commissioned officers alone, and more than 500 Whampoa students, although the Volunteer Army does not need so many officers for the time being, but officers have always been the soul of the army, and excellent officers are even more so. Although he didn't want to let go, Mr. needed a group of excellent officers to enrich the staff department, and an order came from there to replenish the volunteers with 200 Whampoa students, but he also drew out 268 officers, from the commander of the army to the staff officers, all of them are the essence of the volunteers.

"Somewhere else?"

Looking at the chief in surprise, Cai Yi frowned, what else is there?

"Everyone knows about resisting the Russian army, but ...... Songpa, I told you that the purpose of resisting the Russian army is not just to fight against the Russian invading army, he also has a mission, you asked me at the time, I didn't tell you, now I can tell you that the future mission of the anti-Russian army is ......"

After a pause, Lin Yanren stared at Cai Ye seriously and slowly spit out four words.

"Restore the nation!"

"Who are you?"

"Anti-Russian volunteers!"

"What anti-Russian volunteers?"

"Resist Russia and defend Xinjiang, always loyal, resolute will, and work together!"

"What makes the blood flag red!"

"Blood! Blood! Blood! ”

"How do we survive!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"I can't hear you!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Raised by a bitch, I still can't hear it!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The deafening roar echoed on the training ground, and Wu Peifu, Zhou Shaoqi and others, who only shook the sound of killing, were shocked, before today, they never knew that in China, there was an army that directly took killing people as the way to survive, although it sounded terrifying, but since the birth of the army, isn't it just to survive?

"Ziyu, look ......"

Zhou Shaoqi pointed to a row of soldiers at the edge of the training ground not far away, and walked towards them, Wu Peifu also walked behind him, at the edge of the training ground, there were dozens of soldiers sitting down, disassembling their weapons and maintaining their guns there.

"Clean and tidy!"

The soldier wiping the bolt muttered as he wiped.

"The bolt is slippery and unimpeded, and the battlefield is pulled, so that the enemy can be killed......"

A word came into the ears of the two people, and from the demeanor of the soldier in maintaining the weapon, it could be seen that they were very serious in maintaining the weapon, and the dark sweat stains on the grip of the gun clearly showed that the weapon was used frequently, but the bolt was as clean as new.

"It seems that the chamber of the gun should be as bright as a mirror!"

Zhou Shaoqi guessed in his heart that although those soldiers also maintained weapons when they were in Zuozhen, most of them were limited to wiping the barrel, and as for the decomposition of the bolt, although they would also disassemble the bolt and maintain it, it was only when the commander inspected it, in order to reflect the well-being of the troops, the bolt would be removed and displayed together with other equipment.

After a soldier finished maintaining the rifle, he took out a bayonet to wipe it, the nearly two-foot-long bayonet only saw Zhou Shaoqi and Wu Peifu smack, the bayonet was completely different from their common bayonets, the end of the blade was hypertrophied, obviously more suitable for cutting than ordinary bayonets, and the serrations on the back were extremely sharp, just looking at the wrong teeth of the sawtooth, it made people feel a chill in their hearts, while the two of them were a little frightened by this bayonet, Zhou Shaoqi saw some signs from these weapons.

The bolt is close to the Russian rifle, the hexagonal receiver is changed to a round receiver, the body of the gun is completely different from the Russian rifle, but similar to the German rifle, and the bayonet is this unprecedented bayonet, the gun is different, the bayonet is different, what does this mean?

“mj02！”

Staring at the model on the receiver, Zhou Shaoqi secretly remembered this model in his heart, the volunteers encountered on the road were either carrying Russian-style rifles or Japanese-style rifles, but the volunteers in Zhangwu used this kind of rifle, and the weapon could often reveal some other information.

And on the other side, there was a surprising scene, two rows of soldiers facing each other, one of them holding a rifle with a bayonet, approaching the tip of the knife in front of the other row, although these people were trying their best to control themselves, Wu Peifu could still feel the sweat on their foreheads, and even their legs trembled.

Any soldier knows how terrible it can be to face a bayonet, especially when pointed at by a bayonet, which can be terrifying and soul-shutting, and they are obviously doing it for .......

"Thorn!"

shouted in shock, almost didn't frighten Wu Peifu into a cold sweat!

"Kill!"

The bayonets reflected in the sunlight accompanied their roar, and the row of soldiers with bayonets roared forward with a thrust, and the bayonet stabbed between the sides of the neck of the soldiers opposite, and most of them were obviously frightened, and their bodies collapsed and collapsed.

Not to mention them, even Wu Peifu, who was watching from a distance, also felt his heart tighten when he listened to the "kill", a strong dizziness, a chill in his back, and the sweat on his whole body came out, and in an instant he almost thought that these people were using living people as targets.

"Bastard!"

And the sergeant who shouted the order, when he saw that most of them were frightened and fell to the ground, immediately raised his legs and kicked them one by one.

"You don't dare to face bayonets here, wait for the battlefield, train cowardly, and be flogged five!"

"I see!"

This will make Zhou Shaoqi and Wu Peifu understand that the reason for the bayonet is to train the courage of these people, is this courage practiced? If the timid are frightened and moved...... Neither of them dared to think about it anymore, and the future of this volunteer training was a bit too much.

The two glanced at each other wryly, and they both saw the look of shock in each other's eyes, but in addition to the shock, they were a little trembling.

"Gongjie, this training method you think may be in our ......."

Wu Peifu was just at the beginning when he was interrupted by Zhou Shaoqi's words.

"Impossible, this kind of training seems to train the courage of soldiers, even if the best soldiers are selected for stabbing, if the assassin is not careful, if he crooks his neck, it will be a life! The chiefs won't let those who take this risk"

Zhou Shaoqi glanced at the volunteer soldier who was born because he was stabbed in the neck with a bayonet, which was holding his ass and receiving the military stick, and couldn't help but sympathize with them while sighing, just stumbling timidly, he was flogged, this kind of volunteer army's discipline really ...... "Hey, if it is in the future...... I'm afraid I can only ask for more blessings for myself! ”

When Zhou Shaoqi and Wu Peifu and the two of them were paying attention to these small and unattractive details on the training ground, Shoutian Liyuan and the others were more interested in the training of shooting, obstacle crossing, and assassination, in their opinion, maybe this is the embodiment of the comprehensive quality of soldiers, but as for those details, it is difficult to enter Shoutian's eyes.
