Mafang Town.

The army of Russians has been held back here for fifteen days. Zhang Huaizhi has a deep understanding of how fierce Lao Maozi's artillery fire is, and the Russians have also been blocked by him, and the Russians have been shelling for eight hours from this morning to now!

By the time Zhang Huaizhi crawled out of the ruins, the entire position had already fallen into a sea of fire! Wiping away the blood flowing from his forehead, Zhang Huaizhi didn't look for how many of his soldiers were still on the position, seeing that the Russians in front of him had come up in a neat line, he staggered and rushed to a heavy machine gun, I don't know where to crawl a young Beiyang army, didn't say anything, helped him put the bullets well.

There seemed to be dead people in the trenches around at this time, and some soldiers climbed out one after another at this time, and Zhang Huaizhi didn't want to say anything, everyone climbed to the trench and lay down, found the right weapon and waited for the Russians to come.

Zhang Huaizhi's eyes swept around, looked at the soldier next to him, and asked softly, "Child, how old are you?" ”

The soldier's voice was still a little immature: "Sixteen." ”

Zhang Huaizhi's Adam's apple swelled, and then asked, "Can you write?" ”

"Yes, I've been in private school for two years."

"Okay, I say, you can write it."

Zhang Huaizhi took out the pen and paper in his pocket, handed it to the soldier, and after the soldier was ready, he said: "President Junjian, at present, our department has run out of ammunition, there are no people, and the position has been broken. The fifth town of the standard, the co-commander, has been killed. At present, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers in the town are stubbornly defending the last position, and they have the heart of death. The dog is young, please take care of it in the future, and I regret that I can no longer follow the horse, and I wish you victory. ”

As he spoke, he took out another watch and looked at it: "May 13th." Fifteen:21. You send this letter to the rear. ”

The young Beiyang Army soldier immediately cried, he naturally knew that this was Zhang Huaizhi giving him a chance to live! Zhang Huaizhi's hand patted his head: "Go boy, promise me." If we win, you come here and burn some paper, tell me, tell our brother who died here. ”

The soldier ran behind with tears in his eyes, and had barely gone far when the gunfire rang out from the position! Then, the tsunami-like charge of the Russians: "Ula! ”

Sympathy did exist at the beginning of the war, and Major General Mardinov gave enough respect to the Beiyang Army that held on to Pinggu. But that's because they fought there for only three days and lost just over a thousand soldiers. And in this place, their footsteps were blocked for fifteen days! More than 20,000 Russian soldiers fell in front of the positions of the Beiyang Army.

The smell of blood had already made both sides lose their minds. When the Russians rush into the position, they kill anyone they see! Even those Beiyang Army soldiers who were already dead were mended by them! If it weren't for the last Russian order to take some prisoners alive, there might not be a single living person left in this position.

Zhang Huaizhi was still alive, he was seriously injured and lying on the ground unable to move, and the clothes on his body were so tattered that he could not see his original appearance after the Russians caught him.

But because of his age, Lao Maozi still had a little doubt, pulled over two captured Beiyang soldiers from the side, and pointed to Zhang Huaizhi who was lying on the ground: "What official position is he in your army?" ”

One soldier didn't speak, but the other reacted quickly: "Man." Cook for us. ”

Lao Maozi really believed it, and threw Zhang Huaizhi in the middle of the more than 100 captives, but when he was about to leave, one person stood up: "General! Russian generals! He's not a guy, he's Zhang Huaizhi! He is the one who commanded us to fight against you. It was he who did not allow us to retreat, believe me, I don't want to fight with the Russian troops, I really want to live......"

Sometimes that's how it is. With such a fierce artillery fire, Jiang Chaozong survived, and when it came to this last step, he really couldn't hold on! Because he really couldn't see any hope, the humility in his heart finally prevailed. Squeezed out of the crowd and crawled to the Russians. At this time, he just wanted to survive.

Martinov rushed up excitedly, Zhang Huaizhi's status in Beiyang can be said to be higher than Cao Kun, if this old man who is still alive is really Zhang Huaizhi, then he will become the first senior general of the Beiyang Army to be captured by the Russians!

"Are you Zhang Huaizhi?"

Zhang Huaizhi was lying on the ground, supporting his body with his hands, and the two Beiyang soldiers next to him wanted to help him, but he refused. He buttoned up the only remaining button on his military uniform and sorted out the tattered collar: "That's right, Lao Tzu is the commander of the fifth town of Beiyang, Zhang Huaizhi." ”

Mardynov smiled: "Come on! Treat General Zhang's wounds. ”

This harvest was really good for the Russians, and Mardinov hurriedly sent someone to escort Zhang Huaizhi to General Akberlil, and he even forgot to make arrangements for Jiang Chaozong. Those Russian soldiers drove Jiang Chaozong back to the middle of the more than 100 Beiyang Army prisoners, and Jiang Chaozong suddenly found that countless pairs of hateful eyes around him shot at him.

He immediately realized that he could not stay here, and was about to get up and ask the Russians to give him special treatment, when a powerful force from behind him swooped down and pressed him to the ground, and then it seemed as if many hands were holding him down and immobilizing.

"Smash him!"

Sometimes, heroes and traitors are really only a thought.

The more than 100 Beiyang soldiers who survived the battle were only prisoners for more than a month, and as the Chinese troops counterattacked the Russian troops, except for more than 30 seriously wounded and died, all the rest were rescued, and when they returned to Beijing, they were treated as heroes should be. General Zhang Huaizhi was escorted back to Russia by Akpolier.

Although the Russians had now broken through their positions, there was no ease in Ackberil's heart. The casualties of the Russian troops themselves are also very large, and from the time of the Jinzhou battle to the present, only 150,000 of the 200,000 troops remained.

The most fatal thing is that after breaking through the fifth town, Feng Guozhang took the second town of the Beiyang Army to wait for them in front! Akberliel knew that Feng Guozhang's troops were much more difficult to fight than Fifth Town! Putting aside the name of the No. 1 Beiyang general, the Beiyang Army of the Second Town has been in a fighting state since last year, and they can be said to be the elite of the elite in Yuan Shikai's hands.

Also, Jiang Baili, who arranged this defensive formation in the Beiyang Army, is also a talent! His means of defense are obvious, Mafang Town is a boundary, and after passing Mafang Town, he will attack Feng Guozhang by himself. Beiyang will not say that it will not send reinforcements, and it will face a war of attrition like Shanhaiguan.

The morale of the Russian troops has been frustrated, is there still any certainty of breaking through Feng Guozhang's defense? Even if it breaks through, how long will it take? What is the energy consumption?

Faced with this problem, General Akberlill thought for a long time, and he felt that he had to change his tactics now. If the resistance of the Beiyang Army is always so tenacious, then even if it enters the city of Beijing, it may use up all its capital!

"Mardinov, I think we have to change our tactics now. We can no longer storm their positions. ”

Mardinov also agreed with the general's opinion: "I completely agree with your opinion, I think that our previous estimate of the will to resist of the Beiyang Army was seriously underestimated. Before the war, many people thought that the Beiyang Army would collapse at the touch of a button in the face of our heavy artillery fire, but now this is not the case. It is very difficult for us to take the city of Beijing on our own. I think we should first strike at their will to resist, and these Beiyang troops on the position may stop attacking first, maybe we can wait a few days, and their fighting consciousness can be relaxed a little. ”

Akberil nodded: "Major General, do you have a combat plan for me to refer to?" ”

Martinov shook his head: "There is no plan yet, but I have an idea. The army of southern China is about to come to Beijing, if this army is allowed to enter the city of Beijing. It will play a role in encouraging the morale of the Chinese. However, if we defeat this support army, I believe that we will be able to shake their resistance to some extent. ”

Akberil smiled: "We thought of going together!" Feng Guozhang and Huang Xing, of course we choose Huang Xing to fight first. Major General, now go and refine your ideas. It's better to give me a detailed battle plan before dawn tomorrow. ”

Mardinov immediately stood upright: "It's the general!" But I have another problem, while we wait for the southern troops to come, the military forces in the northeast must also be raised. ”

Akberil nodded, "I'll do it." Fortunately, that guy doesn't have the ability to fight large-scale battles at the moment, so he won't contain too many of our troops. I have ordered the Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan sides. Always keep an eye on his movements, and our troops are almost there, so there should be no problem. ”

Akpolil is a battle-hardened veteran. Even now, he thought that Yang Xiaolin didn't have the strength to attack him, so he was careful and vigilant. Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan have set up defense lines, not to mention that they can block the volunteers, at least if that guy pounces, he can know. In addition, the current Russian army has entered Mongolia, and it only takes more than a month to come to Beijing, and at that time, Yang Dagui should have just had some combat ability, and there is no need to be afraid of anything.

He believed that he could completely break the defense line of the Beiyang Army before Yang Dagui intervened in the Beijing battlefield, and that the Chinese troops in the south came at the right time, and as long as he killed them, he believed that the Chinese's will to resist would be greatly defeated.

Daqingshan.

Stersar really wants to catch Belle! During the Russo-Japanese War, although the Russian army did not fight very well, almost all those who participated in the war were promoted, but he did not. Why? It's because of Zaitao! The Russian general was captured by the Qing Dynasty and dragged to the streets with a rope, this shame was indelible to him, and the only way to wash it away was to use Zaitao's blood.

When Zaitao carried the banner of resistance in Mongolia, Stesar was really very happy! I'm happier than Zaitao! He finally found an opportunity to drain the blood on the body of this Manchu prince!

Although Zaitao took the Russians by surprise at first, won some victories, and grew the resistance to more than 10,000 men, those battles did not say anything. After Stersar adjusted the pace of the Russians, he immediately beat and fled into the Daqing Mountain.

And then there's the game of cat and mouse that has been played until now. General Stersar mobilized 5,000 Russian soldiers and more than 20,000 Mongol puppet troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress the operation for a month, but he could not find the location of Zaitao's troops.

Not to mention the ordinary soldiers, even Stessel himself felt a little tired of living in the mountains for a long time.

Desi Jiansnowich sent news to Stersal that the Russian army was going through Mongolia to Beijing, China, and that they had to ensure the safety of the army's march during this period, so the encirclement and suppression of Daqingshan should be temporarily stopped.

Stersar was helpless, but he could only withdraw with his troops. Fortunately, Zaitao is more stubborn, and he doesn't leave. If he doesn't leave, he has a chance to kill him, so come back next time.

More than 20,000 troops gradually withdrew from Daqingshan, and today there is still the last group left, and Stersar himself is the rear of the troops. The so-called broken queen is also a gesture, and this time it was the famous Russian general Kilensky who brought troops to fight in China. This was a Russian general who fought very bravely, and Stesar felt that if he finally left Daqingshan, he would definitely make a good impression on the general. (To be continued......)
