The last time the British offered conditions, Yuan Shikai was just tempted, and he also consulted Yang Xiaolin's opinion, and when Yang Xiaolin was unwilling to accept peace talks, Lao Yuan stood on his side. And this time, Yuan Shikai's tone was like a routine notice, and it could be seen from the wording on the telegram that Lao Yuan was very satisfied with the current results, and he didn't want to take any more risks.

Putting down Yuan Shikai's telegram, Yang Xiaolin did not say anything, but the expression on his face showed the anger in his heart now. It seems that a necessary high-level purge in China is imminent, like Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai, they are three completely different personalities from themselves, and there is no way to agree on many things.

Differences of opinion are not a bad thing, the bad thing is that these three people not only have different opinions, but each of them also has a certain amount of strength to attack the other party, which is equivalent to a bomb planted in China, once detonated, the political situation will be chaotic, and the consequences will be serious and may even lead to the resumption of civil war.

Therefore, there must be a winner in the shortest possible time, and that winner must have enough strength to calm down the other two in the future.

Yang Xiaolin took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, spit out a cloud of smoke, and then took Yuan Shikai's telegram and read it again. He wants to continue fighting, no matter what conditions the British offer, he will annihilate these hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in Mongolia! Because he never believed that the gentlemen would keep their promises.

Lao Yuan said it, what should he do? Quarrel with him? That's not how Yang Xiaolin handled the problem. After pondering for a moment, he called Huang Bao in. I asked the common people in the rear what they thought about the war. For Yang Xiaolin, the only thing that can stop him from continuing to fight is the Chinese people.

Huang Bao said to Yang Xiaolin, after he said that he would carry the war to the end. There is indeed some opposition, but the majority of the common people still support this war, especially in the area north of the Yellow River that was invaded by the Russians, although the common people here live the most difficult, but their attitude is the most resolute, this time the Mongolian expedition to Hebei alone has nearly 500,000 people to support the front line, as long as the troops are willing to fight to the end. They will be with them to the end!

"Commander, the opinion in the south is relatively moderate, and the intelligence that our people in the south have responded is that the thinking of the south is inclined to peace talks. This may have been because they now desperately needed the British to lift the blockade, and there was also a reason why they had not suffered aggression. ”

Yang Xiaolin said: "The most important thing is the attitude of the people in Beijing, which is our political center and the most developed information. Also the main direction of the attack of the Russians this time. If the people of Beijing are unwilling to stop the war, I can ignore Yuan Shikai's attitude. ”

Huang Bao said: "Yuan Shikai is doing this work, and this morning's newspaper has made headlines about the conditions for peace talks proposed by the British, and our people in Beijing have received news that Yuan Shikai has specially ordered it. ”

Yang Xiaolin snorted coldly after hearing this, and this cold snort represented Commander Yang's disappointment with Mr. Sun Wen. He didn't think that Sun Wen would be able to fight Yuan Shikai, but at least you have a few rounds of competition, and you will at least involve Lao Yuan's energy. Let Yuan Shikai be injured.

Since the beginning of Lao Yuan's move, Sun Wen has been constantly repulsed, and Yuan Shikai made three distinctions between the revolutionary party. The first is the one who, like Sun Wen, has returned from studying in the West, and has firm faith in democracy, and these people must be killed and all of them driven out of Beijing, so that they can only be ordinary people in the future, and some even need to be put into prison.

The second type is those who have returned from studying abroad but are less radical in their thinking, and there are some people in China who are encouraged by democracy, and these people can ignore it and make them waver by promoting their so-called Han culture, as long as they are not so determined.

There are also some speculators, for these people, Yuan Shikai will offer a higher price, provided that it is valuable to him.

This kind of differentiation allowed Yuan Shikai to find a clear target in the struggle with Sun Wen, which was to defeat those hardcore democracy fighters one by one. That is, a few days ago, after Song Jiaoren was forced to resign, Huang Xing was also kicked out of the army by Yuan Shikai on a charge.

Sun Wen really can't! If he does it, Lao Yuan should not have the energy to care whether the war will continue now, and the political situation in Beijing should have fluctuated.

Mr. Sun can't only face Yuan Shikai by himself, Yang Xiaolin is not a gentleman like Mr. Sun, he never thinks about how to reason with Lao Yuan.

"Kulun's attack is scheduled for seven o'clock this evening, and an order will be sent to Zhang Zuolin."

After Yang Xiaolin finished speaking, Huang Baoma took out a pen and paper.

"The supreme order, which is required to be carried out firmly, and burned after reading shall not be archived:

First, before the attack, they should form a close force, wear Russian military uniforms, and within 10 to 15 kilometers of the front line in Kulen and other areas that the Russian army is still able to control, destroy all civilian houses, and use explosives and flamethrowers extensively, and if anyone is discovered, leave no one alive. Some pro-Russian residents were exterminated.

Secondly, select the bravest and most ideologically reliable fighters, officers, explain to them the task and the importance of this task for the defeat of the Russian army. It is recommended for soldiers who have been in the Volunteer Army for more than three years, as well as soldiers whose family members or loved ones have been killed by Russia during the fighting.

Third, it is necessary to form a capable propaganda team to enter the destroyed areas at the first time, to appease the remnants of the people, to carry out reports and propaganda, and to systematically confirm the completion of the task of destroying residential areas within the designated area.

Fourth, once the troops in the vicinity are defeated, or if they are discovered, they must all disappear.

Top secret, only Commander Zhang reads it. ”

Huang Bao's hand paused slightly, and he knew that this order was equivalent to directly ordering a massacre. Yang Fighting Ghost Massacre is no longer news, but this time is different, this is the first time Yang Xiaolin has cut a butcher knife on the body of a Chinese.

The Russians here in Kulen are basically almost dead, and the rest is in the army preparing the Chinese to fight to the death. The people who live here are the powerful people in Mongolia, as well as the Manchu people who fled from Beijing.

Like Guangxu. Zaifeng, Yang Xiaolin, who has an identity like Zhebu Zun Danba, said very clearly that he must be tried. Use the law to give them a final outcome. But for some people whose identities are not very important, such as eunuchs, palace maids, and some of the so-called courtiers of the Qing Dynasty who are not on the wanted warrant, it is obviously too annoying to pull out the law one by one, and if they don't deal with it, these guys will never forget the Qing Dynasty, so let them go with the Qing Dynasty!

If this is done. Not only will the people in the Kulen area be able to accept the entry of Chinese troops more quickly, but it will also have a destructive effect on Beijing's negotiations. The most interesting thing is. When the Chinese annihilated the remnants of Mardinov's troops, Old Maozi did not even have a chance to explain.

This kind of strategy is not something that Mr. Sun Wen would use.

Huang Bao read a few orders again, and then burned them in front of Yang Xiaolin: "I'll go and generate electricity now." ”

January 20 of the first year of the Republic. Twenty days after Kulen was surrounded by Chinese troops. With the decisive charge of Akberil failing, the Russian forces here have lost their last hope.

At five o'clock in the evening, Wang Jinhan sent Major General Mardinov an ultimatum limiting the Russians to surrender within one hour, but Mardinov refused the opportunity.

The sky was overcast at night, it seemed like it was going to snow on the grassland, and the weather was very cold. The remnants of the Russian soldiers were cold and hungry at this time, and the troops had no discipline at all. Some strong guys are always very domineering to take off the clothes of their comrades, and they are really crazy at this time!

In the tents of those barracks, men and women indulged their bodies. Some of the officers laughed and laughed as they watched their wives and the soldiers indulge in front of them, and they knew very well that every minute of this time could be the worst party of their lives.

At 6:50 a.m., more than 50,000 troops of the Fifth Front Army on the Northern Front and more than 70,000 Chinese troops from eight divisions on the Southern Front all entered the attack positions. And when the Russian soldiers on the Russian positions saw that the Chinese were ready to attack, they actually high-fived each other, and for them, this meant the end of the ordeal.

Maybe I'm going to be a captive, maybe I'm coming to an end, but it's much better than it is now.

At seven o'clock, the rumbling of artillery began the battle, and 1,500 Chinese artillery pieces suddenly erupted in silence, and the shells pierced the night sky and rained down on the Russians' heads! This was the largest number of artillery battles fought by the Chinese side since they entered Mongolia, and although China did not have that kind of large-caliber heavy artillery, the rate of fire of light and medium-sized artillery was extremely fast, and in less than half an hour, 8,000 tons of artillery shells destroyed all the imperfect forward fortifications of the Russians!

The soldiers stepped on the shell landing point and rushed up, and there were only a few occasional gunshots on Lao Maozi's position, and the army of all roads rushed to the Russian position.

At this time, the Russian army had little organization and discipline to speak of, and when the soldiers felt hopeless about the war, many would surrender, and even if some Russians were still very brave, their bravery did nothing but add a little tragedy to the Russians in the battle.

The Chinese side is like a rainbow, not to mention the elite troops of the southern front, that is, the fifth front army of the northern front is also competing for the lead at this time, they are very clear that although the commander of the Russian Far East Army has been caught, there is still a big fish in this fishing net in Kulen - Guangxu!

Now that they're down the river, who doesn't want to catch the biggest fish?

The combination of artillery and infantry also reached a very satisfying point, thousands of artillery pieces destroyed the first line of Russian fortifications and then began to bombard the depth of Lao Maozi, the whole earth seemed to tremble under the muzzle, some of the Russians who still thought of recalcitrant resistance were blown up flesh and blood, and the infantry destroyed a line of interception, and quickly approached with the shells.

It can be said that the Russians built the fortifications very well, barbed wire, trenches, bunkers, traps, these and their main positions formed a perfect defense system, if it was not for Nicholas II forcibly ordered the Russian army to attack, they had enough soldiers and a certain amount of supplies, it was really not so easy to fight down.

But now there are not many bullets in Lao Maozi's machine guns, and there are no soldiers in many bunkers, and the firepower of the sparse lala cannot stop the advance of the Chinese troops at all, and they can only watch as one barbed wire fence after another is cut!

Major General Mardinov listened to the gunfire coming closer and closer from all sides, but there was no reaction on his face, since the failure of General Akeberil's assault, he knew that the result of the matter was like this, he had thought about everything, since he could not change it, he could only bravely meet it.

A group of more than fifty Russian soldiers stood in front of the major general, and everyone had no expression on their faces. Martynov was going to fight his last battle, but his target was not the Chinese troops, but Guangxu! The major general knows very well the significance of Guangxu to China and Russia, maybe the war is about to end, maybe the Russians cannot change the defeat, but Martinov knows that Guangxu cannot fall into the hands of the Chinese.

At this time, Mardinov actually adopted the same method with Yang Xiaolin very tacitly.

"Soldiers, I am going to take you on a top-secret operation, I know that you have lost confidence in the war now, but I ask you to do this last thing for Russia, and I ask you to keep the immediate operation absolutely secret, and not to reveal it to anyone!" (To be continued......)
