261 Students' excitement
"Today I want to announce to you a good news, our school's library is going to be expanded again, and the Ministry of Education has increased its investment by 350,000 yuan!" After the morning exercise, Zhou Yichun, president of Tsinghua University, stood on the front desk of the playground and shouted loudly to the students in the audience with a loudspeaker. "In addition, all teachers can also receive the New Year's goods issued by the Ministry of Education at the end of the year, which is a small benefit."
Zhou Yichun also had a smile on his face when he read the paper in his hand, before Zhang Xun's restoration, the salaries of school teachers were in arrears for a long time, and many of them even reached more than half a year, so that some teachers' families could not open the pot. Fortunately, the Northeast Army entered Beijing, and Qin Yu solved the problem of arrears of education funds as soon as possible, and the New Year's goods at the end of the year needless to say were also a little welfare for the university after Qin Yu spoke. Although the external situation is still chaotic, but the school has funds, it can continue to maintain and continuously cultivate talents, which is what Zhou Yichun and other education wage earners are most willing to see, using what they have learned to cultivate the next generation of the Republic of China.
At this time, Jiang Menglin, a new professor in the school, came to the front desk with an excited face, Jiang Menglin still held a newspaper in his hand, and whispered a few words in Zhou Yichun's ear.
"What? Middle East Road, Acheng Victory! Zhou Yichun almost snatched the new newspaper that came out today, and his face flushed with excitement. The cold weather could not suppress the vigorous blood in his heart.
"Teachers, students, there is more important news to announce today, Yu Shuai personally went to the front line, sat in the Harbin theater, and the Northeast Army fought bravely to kill the enemy, and now it has surrounded more than two or three thousand Russian troops in Kazakhstan and captured more than half of its positions. In addition, more than 4,000 Russian soldiers were killed and captured in the Acheng area, which is an unprecedented event in the Republic of China! ”
Zhou Yichun's tone was excited, and before he finished speaking, a burst of thunderous cheers broke out from the audience, which lasted for a long time.
"Headmaster, the Northeast Army has won. The Northeast Army won! "Although the battle for the Middle East Road has not yet been clarified, but the Northeast Army appeared with such a tough posture, it is the first time in the history of the Republic of China, and all the Chinese people are a little surprised, it turns out that the Republic of China can also have such a tough time in diplomacy. Tough diplomacy is only secondary, and the rapid progress of the Northeast Army on the battlefield is the key to making everyone's blood surge. It turned out that the Republic of China also had an army that could compete with the great powers, even if Russia has now declined, but the long years of the Tsarist Russian Empire have erected the impression of a great power for countless people, which is far from being eliminated in the short time after the October Revolution at this time.
The length of the newspaper report. Large drawings with the Escort captives show the authenticity of the newspaper.
"Yes, we won! We've won! Looking at the cheering figures of these young students on the playground, Zhou Yichun also wanted to let go of his voice and shout a few times, the Republic of China has been suppressed for too long, and this is the first time that it has won a foreign war, such a clean victory. Without people in this era, it is impossible to understand the extent to which these students and teachers expect the country to be strong.
"I can't imagine that Yu Shuai has such a noble identity. was able to come to the battlefield in person when the end of the year was approaching. The people are united in their hearts and minds, and the soldiers are willing to use their lives, no wonder the Northeast Army can create such a miracle. Looking at the many men and women in the audience with tears in their eyes, those young students in their prime. Jiang Menglin couldn't help but feel a little moist at the corner of his eyes, he went to the United States to study with the dream of saving the country with knowledge, and returned to China without hesitation after completing his studies. In order to use his knowledge to make some efforts for the current situation of the Republic of China, but the current situation made him realize to what extent the Republic of China has declined, the warlord division is causing the blood of the Republic of China to continue to drain, and in an almost desperate situation, there is such a shining star as the Northeast. The Republic of China still has a way to go, and if there is hope, it will not despair.
"Yu Shuai is so majestic, he can beat Lao Maozi to the ground, and he rushed to the front line after a year, patriotic heart, and the other local overseers who only say but don't do it can't even compare to Yu Shuai's finger." On the boiling playground, a young and beautiful schoolgirl couldn't help but say.
"That is, among all the overseers of our Republic of China, Yu Shuai is backbone, and only Yu Shuai will fight for us ordinary people and the Japanese, if we change to other overseers, we don't send us to apologize to the foreigners, and it would be strange to compensate for the losses."
"It's such a cold weather, I heard that the drip of water in Harbin can turn into ice, Yu Shuai hasn't been at home for many years, and he went to the war zone, not to mention that he accidentally got frozen, this knife and gun has no eyes, if there is an accident, what should I do, I am really anxious." Xu Manli's eyebrows were almost squeezed into a pile.
"You're so worried about Yu Shuai, don't you like Yu Shuai, or you should let Yu Shuai be a secretary." A few students next to him laughed.
"Go and go, when I graduate, I will go to the Northeast to be a secretary for Yu Shuai!" Xu Manli snorted.
"Don't dream, a character like Yu Shuai, with a noble status, wants to be his secretary, Yahuan's people can be ranked from Fengtian City to Tsinghua University. You want to be a secretary for Yu Shuai, but you don't know where to start. ”

"Bastard, give me a top, who allowed you to withdraw people at will!" Pusleping looked at the two dejected officers in front of him, and couldn't help but curse, from last night to now, the short time has been a nightmare that cannot be ended for Pusleping and the other soldiers of the road guard who are trapped in Harbin.
On the first night, a mysterious unit of the Northeast Army infiltrated their position and wreaked havoc, so that the Northeast Army attacked like mercury, squeezing more than half of the original position of the Road Guard. On the evening of the second day, Pusreping learned a lesson from the defeated soldiers, and strictly guarded against it, eliminating the possibility of the Northeast Army's repetition of the old plan. Relying on the existing fortifications, munitions and food reserves, Pusrepin was still confident that for a long time, but a scene that frightened the Russian soldiers even more appeared. Although the Northeast Army did not launch such an adventurous attack at night, after all, the Russian army is not stupid, and the training of the special operations brigade is not easy, and it would be too much of a loss to lose it easily.
To be on the safe side. Soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade and some sharpshooters collected by the 6th, 8th, and 11th Divisions were equipped with scopes and hid in the ruins of the city, high-rise buildings, or other hidden places. Bullets are always fired at inadvertent angles, and almost every shot takes the life of a soldier. The sound of gunfire echoed between the buildings on the street, and it was impossible to rely on the sound of gunfire to judge the enemy's location, and even if it was judged, the soldiers of the road escort army, who were already at an absolute disadvantage, did not dare to leave the place they were guarding, and they could protect themselves by hiding in the bunkers on the floors, and there was no suspense that they would be overwhelmed by the sea of people of the Northeast Army.
"General, it's not that we don't want to resist, the Northeast Army is too cunning. Every time they always pretend to attack, when we are passive defense, there is always a bullet from an inexplicable angle, hitting our soldiers, when we come out to defend, the Northeast Army retreats back, they have a group of people with accurate marksmanship scattered around, constantly eating away at the lives of the soldiers. For these people, there is simply no defense. Today alone, more than 60 people have been shot and killed by the other side. 5 people were injured, our troops can no longer withstand such losses, we must find a way to eliminate the secret threat of the Northeast Army as soon as possible, if there is no countermeasure, the soldiers' will to fight at the front may collapse at any time! ”
Rozhnev, an officer trained by Pusrepin, had previously been a hardliner in favor of fighting the Northeast Army. After even being defeated at this time, Rozhnev had a deep sense of powerlessness.
"How can this be, Northeast military sharpshooters, don't we have it? Quick, get someone with good marksmanship. We must stop the Northeast Army's conspiracy to attack the morale of our army. Pusreping has heard all the bad news in the past two days, and it is inevitable that he will be a little angry at this time, "Damn Cherov, this incompetent bastard, two armored trains were surrounded by the Northeast Army before they even entered Harbin!" Director Horvat too, if he doesn't send people over to support, do you expect my thousands of men to fight against the tens of thousands of troops in the Northeast? ”
"General, Cherov is here, he wants to see you." The guard at the gate reported.
"Cherov? He's finally here, but isn't he surrounded by the Northeast Army? No guns were heard outside, how did he get here? Pusleyping reacted quickly and was a little surprised.
"General, there is only one person in Cherov."
"What? Alone? A guy has a bullshit, bastard, he must have surrendered to the enemy, bring him in, I'd like to see what he, usually a proud fellow, will look like when he submits to the enemy. Pusrepin forced his anger to suppress his anger.
"Pusleypin, let's meet again." Cherov, who was slightly emaciated, walked in from the door and greeted Pusrepin.
"I can't imagine that General Cherov, who has always been arrogant and looks down on others, will have a day when he will bow down to the enemy, I wonder how General Cherov is feeling now?" The two are both brigade commanders in the road protection army, and they have never been very opposed, and Cherov has also relied on his ability and background to force him to take charge of elite weapons such as armored trains. Pusleping had never looked too much at it before, but now that he has the opportunity, of course, he has to laugh at it.
"Pusleypin, you don't have to make fun of me, originally I wanted to go directly to Harbin with two armored trains to provide you with support, but things are as I wanted, the Northeast Army's will to fight is very firm, and it is not easy to frustrate. After the armored train caused a large number of casualties to the Northeast Army, the Northeast Army not only did not collapse as quickly as imagined, but reacted quickly and directly blew up the railway, so my armored train was trapped, the train did not carry much food, as for the water could not be used for a day, so in such a cold weather, even if the Northeast Army did not do anything, after a day or two, everyone had to freeze to death and starve to death on the train. If you are replaced, there is no choice. Cherov said in a flat tone.
"Then you were captured by the Northeast Army, what did you come to me for? When you are a lobbyist for the Northeast Army, do you want me to surrender? Pusleypin's face changed slightly, and soon returned to normal, if it was really as Cherov said, I am afraid that he would only surrender faster, and the taste of cold drink and thirst and ornaments would not be able to bear it at all in front of the food of the Northeast Army.
"The Northeast Army invited me to be a lobbyist. If you want to convince you to surrender, you may not know the way, the main force of our road escort army suffered a crushing defeat in Acheng, under the bombardment of the Northeast Army, thousands of dead and wounded, and now it has retreated more than 100 miles. The reason why the Northeast Army does not bomb you is that it does not want to destroy the urban buildings of Harbin and recover Harbin at the lowest cost. Cherov's tone was calm, as if he was saying something completely unrelated to him.
"What? Our main force was defeated? Why didn't Marquis Demipov send troops over to support? What is this for? Puslepin was a little out of sorts.
"The attack of the Northeast Army was too fast, and the reinforcements of the Marquis of Dmipov arrived at the Suihua River after some preparations, and received the news of the defeat of the road guard. The Northeast Army, which was responsible for the offensive, had only one division of troops, as well as their bomber groups. "Cherov said." With the quality of the Northeast Army, we have no hope of winning this battle. ”
"The strength of a division!" Pusley sat back in his chair, "Do you think I should surrender to the Northeast Army as well?" What were the conditions for their surrender? ”
"I just came to tell you the truth, whether to surrender or not is up to you, the intelligence chief of the Northeast Army met with me, and promised that you can get a reward of 50,000 Northeast votes after you surrender, and if other soldiers are willing to stay in the Northeast, the Northeast will provide relief. Rent farmland to rent crops for them to solve their living difficulties. Those who are unwilling to stay in the Northeast. If you leave weapons and ammunition, you can leave the country on your own, and you must not harass the borders of the Republic of China in the future. ”
"Cherov, you are really not a very good lobbyist, I really don't know how the northeast side of Lu Dao chose you to come over and persuade me to surrender." Puslepin laughed dumbly.
"How do you decide?" Cherov asked.
"How else can you decide, since Marquis Demipov has already sent troops. Presumably, he has also carried out a large number of military expansions in Vladivostok, plus the troops of Director Horvat, more than 60,000 people should be no problem, and we still have the ability to fight the Northeast Army, so I will hold out for a few more days. In this way, you go back and tell the Northeast Army that I need to think about it before I can make a decision. ”
Pusleyping touched his chin and said a little slyly. Even if the Northeast Army is so piecemeal and dies a hundred people every day, for Pusrepin, as long as the bullet does not hit him, the death of some people is nothing. For these former high-ranking officers of Tsarist Russia, surrendering to an army that has always been known for being poor, not to mention Cherov, even he couldn't let go for a while.
What's more, the old army of Tsarist Russia still has the strength to fight a war, Vladivostot has become the most important transportation port of Tsarist Russia after the European War, almost all American materials have to be transported from here, Marquis Dmipov has obtained countless materials, I am afraid that arming more than 100,000 people is not a problem, once Horvat joins forces with it, 60,000 troops is only a conservative estimate. Since the balance of war has not yet completely tilted in favor of the Northeast Army, why should he surrender to the Northeast Army now? Of course, the special case of the Cherov is a different story.
As Pusrepin expected, after receiving the news of the defeat of the Horvath road escort army, Dmipov only left 4,000 people to garrison the important town of Vladivostok, and personally led an army of nearly 50,000 people to the area of Maoer Mountain.
On the other hand, Sheminov was finally told by Sadao Araki, under the guidance of Japanese spies, he personally led 40,000 troops, and also recruited Yingshun's cavalry brigade, all the way to Hulunbuir, straight to Manchuria. The combined strength of the Russian army on the two routes exceeded 110,000 people, and the Tsarist Russian naval army on the Boli side was also ready to move, and the Japanese side showed off the strength of the old Tsarist army, accusing the Northeast of provoking a war in the Far East, and now it will swallow its own bitter fruit. Dmipov and Seminov even openly stated that they would severely punish the initiators of the war and personally went to Mukden to ask for their guilt.
"How can this be reasonable, they are all two-faced, the Japanese and Lao Maozi are okay, some people in the Guannai even sang the opposite, they applauded the victory before, and now they turned around when they saw the Russian army attacking Heilongjiang in a big way, it is useless to be a scholar, this sentence is really not wrong at all." Wang Yuhai was indignant when he saw some negative reports in the mainland. It is nothing more than some accusations that Qin Yu is eager for quick success, and he is good at provoking the border, and attracting the Tsarist Russian army to invade the northeast. Although the war was quite smooth before, there were more than 100,000 Tsarist Russian troops, such a huge number, which far exceeded the psychological expectations of some people in the Guannai, and a considerable number of people were not optimistic about the Northeast Army.
"It's okay, 100,000 Russian troops are complacent, isn't there 100,000 in the Northeast Army?" Qin Yu waved his hand and said, "Where is Chen Shengwu?" ”
"Commander Chen has already passed Qiqihar, the 5th Division, the 7th Division, the 2nd Division, the 1st Cavalry Brigade and 2 squads of Beacon bombers, the 2 groups of Wolf Smoke fighters have entered the destination and are ready to fight at any time, and the tank training brigade has also arrived in Harbin and is ready to go to the front line at any time." It was Ding Cheng who spoke.
"The three divisions are all veteran divisions of the Northeast Army, plus a cavalry brigade, it is more than enough to resist Seminov, whether you can win a battle, it also depends on Chen Shengwu's ability. Has the railroad been repaired? ”
"The construction team ahead is rushing to repair, and it is expected that it may be opened to traffic before 6 o'clock tomorrow morning." Ding Chengdao. Now that the road guard army has withdrawn from Harbin, the railway from Changchun to Harbin and Harbin to Hulunbuir naturally fell under the control of the Northeast Army. However, due to Horvat's preparations before, Qin Yu did not intercept many wagons, plus the two captured armored trains, there were only 6 trains in total. Of course, those wagons were driven to several railway stations such as Vladivostok, and when the battle was won, some still had to be snatched back. At the moment, although there are fewer wagons, it is enough to temporarily use them for the transportation of military supplies. (To be continued......)
