General Kilingsky pondered for a while: "We can discuss what General Brushinov said. Let me remind you that we are facing a very cunning opponent this time! I think everyone knows how the Japanese were defeated by him, so I think we should be more careful about how we plan for this war, and this war is very important to our country. ”

Brushinov immediately said: "It is precisely because of this that we should concentrate all our forces to inflict heavy wounds on the Chinese troops at the beginning of the battle, and strive to gain the absolute initiative on the battlefield!" I don't think it will be a good thing for us if we blindly seek stability and just drag on the war. ”

Brushinov was also an alternative general in Russia, he was so arrogant, he spoke without regard for the feelings of his colleagues, if it weren't for the fact that Nicholas II valued him very much, it is estimated that he would have been excluded from the army a long time ago.

Arrogance is because he has arrogant capital, in the First World War, the Russians created one major defeat after another, losing five million troops on the Eastern Front, and the Russian generals have become synonymous with shame.

At this time, however, General Brushinov launched a great raid to restore the reputation of the Russians, and at a time when everyone thought that the Russian troops were about to retreat, he launched a powerful assault on Austria-Hungary.

In this battle, the Russian army killed 1.5 million troops of Austria-Hungary and Germany with a million casualties! Not only did it create the best record in the history of the Russian army's operations, but it also made Germany unable to launch an attack on France, slowed down the pace of Austria-Hungary's attack on Italy, and made a major contribution to the Entente countries dragging the war into a stalemate stage.

This was the result of the reluctance of the surrounding Russian troops to cooperate with Brushinov in launching a diversionary attack on the German army, and if he had had a better relationship with the other generals, the results would have been even more brilliant.

Brushinov's operational philosophy is that of the famous Russian general Suvorov: "Do not doubt the ability of your subordinates, the most important condition as a commander is to dare to rush towards the enemy with your soldiers with bayonets!" ”

This is especially true of the battle against China, which now simply does not have a war machine that can support their large-scale campaigns, they are fighting completely in one breath! As long as the Russians launch a fierce attack at any cost. Use bayonets to make them understand where the gap really is, and their faith in resistance will be shaken.

"General Kilingsky, I beg you to allow my troops to attack the city of Peking! I'll be able to do it myself, and if you can attack the Chinese defenders elsewhere while I'm attacking, victory will be within our reach. ”

Kilingsky glanced at him: "How many troops do you want?" How long is it expected? ”

Brushinov stood up: "Two hundred thousand troops are enough!" Give me another thousand guns, and I can't give you a clear answer for time, but I can assure you that I will definitely not exceed three months. ”

Kilingsky nodded: "Okay, I've got you covered." ”

Strategically, the general deployment of Russia was also completed, and Kilingsky knew it. The specific battle plan cannot be issued immediately, and it is necessary to wait for the Russian troops to drive under the city of Beijing to see the defensive measures and defensive forces of the Chinese before making arrangements.

"Now we have to figure out what the Chinese are going to do, our spy department in China must be fully operational, I need every piece of intelligence they provide!" Also, we can't afford to waste time, and we need to win over some people in China who oppose their government and war policy. Lannico, I'll leave this matter to you, I think you still know a little bit about the situation in China, right? ”

Sitting in the corner of the conference room, Lannico slowly stood up: "Please rest assured, General. I will definitely try my best to complete the task. ”

Lannico is now as depressed as General Akpolil, and it should be said that he is even more depressed than Akpolil. Originally became the Russian ambassador to China, and the youngest of all the Russian diplomatic envoys to foreign countries, Lanniko was in high spirits and wanted to show his talents.

But he did not expect that Russia would actually sever diplomatic relations with China. And because Lannico has not been doing well during this period. It was not able to help gain an advantage in the frontal battle, so the tsar did not make any other arrangements for him.

Ambassador Lanniko was thus left idle in Mongolia, and even he himself did not know whether to go back or stay here.

The general gave himself a task, which at least meant that he ended his current embarrassing position. If done well, it may also be an opportunity to get ahead, at least after Russia wins the war in the future. He will also return to Beijing as an ambassador.

Both China and Russia are making preparations, and both sides are also trying to maintain their own situation when arranging the battlefield, and in order to ensure that they will not be defeated by factors outside the battlefield, the Chinese government has made a series of measures.

On June 13, Yuan Shikai issued a general mobilization order, calling on the people of the whole country to fight for war at all costs! Anyone who provides information about China to the Russians in any form during the war is considered treason, regardless of whether his information is valuable or not, and will be punished severely! Those who violate the law and discipline and disrupt order, spread rumors and cause trouble to fuel panic, will be severely punished!

At the same time, factories, workshops, and schools began a planned retreat, while ordinary people were asked not to leave the city. Lao Yuan said that he would stay in Beijing and persevere to the end, hoping that the common people would stay with him, and he assured all those living in Beijing that the troops on the front line would definitely be able to stop the Russians, and victory would definitely belong to China.

On 14 June, Chen Tianhua promulgated the regulations on agricultural production and the regulations on grain rationing, setting clear demands on the current local political powers, namely, that the taxes to be paid by the peasants must be reduced, that the price of this year's autumn grain must be guaranteed, that it is necessary to resolutely crack down on those who hoard it, and that any firm that purchases grain of more than 10,000 stone without authorization will be killed, except for the purchase of military grain approved by the government.

In the cities of the Northern War Zone, a ration system was introduced, with half a pound of mixed noodles per day for adults and half a kilogram for women and children.

Militarily, Yang Xiaolin also made ample preparations. They didn't know how the Russians would attack, but Commander Yang knew that there was no hope of defeating the Russians only by delaying the war until China's own war machine could be operational.

The training base in Shandong has been built, and the first batch of 200,000 troops has entered the Yimeng Mountains, where they will undergo intensive training for two months. Two months later they will go to the battlefield and fight several battles, and some of these 200,000 people may be killed. The living will become the cornerstone of the formation of the second side of China.

When Yang Xiaolin came to Shandong, Duan Qirui told him that the deserters had already appeared in just three or four days after the training began. For these escapees, Commander Yang did not pursue anything.

I can't stand it for three or four days, which can only mean that they are not the material for being soldiers, even if they are left behind, they will run away when they get to the battlefield. So Yang Xiaolin told Duan Qirui that for these people, as long as they left their guns. Just go if you want.

"Every day, I run more than 80 miles in this big mountain, and then I have to carry out all kinds of tactical training, not to mention the soldiers, even if I run along, I feel that I can't run down. Commander, those instructors you sent are more fierce than the other, and the sticks in their hands are really hitting their bodies! A few days ago, I was beaten up with my brother who had been in charge of more than ten years. ”

Commander Yang was inspecting the training of the soldiers, and Duan Qirui stood next to him and vomited the unhappiness in his heart. Duan Qirui is a very traditional soldier with a bit of feudal thinking. For his own people, he protects the calves.

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "General Duan, let them run now for their good!" I was able to run out of the palm of Dashanyan in Liaoxi, relying on two legs! As for what you said about beating people. Everyone is a soldier, so don't take it to heart if you take two sticks. ”

The recruits were trained by the soldiers of Commander Yang's Special Operations Brigade, who inherited Nyerere's consistent style, and asked those division commanders and brigade commanders of the Volunteer Army. Including Erpole and Li Debiao, how many have not been beaten by Lao Ni?

When Duan Qirui heard Commander Yang say this, he felt that if he continued to entangle, he would have to speak for his brother, and he would be a little petty: "What the commander said is true. Rest assured, nothing will go wrong with me watching here. There is just one thing I want you to take to heart, if there is a chance, Zhiquan still wants to kill the enemy in front. ”

Yang Xiaolin understood Duan Qirui's feelings. The troops he led were held down and beaten by the Russians at Shanhaiguan, although everyone said that he defended well, but if he was beaten and did not fight back, he would feel aggrieved in his heart. And the most Beiyang general, Duan Qirui must want to fight for Lao Yuan on the battlefield to come back.

Seeing a team of soldiers running in front of him, Yang Xiaolin's hand pointed at the team: "General Duan, if I give these people to you, do you dare to fight?" ”

"Dare!"

Duan Qirui replied very happily, and the expression on his face was quite resolute. Yang Xiaolin was very satisfied: "Okay, when they are almost trained, you take them to the battlefield, I can give you the opportunity, whether you can fight well depends on your own ability." ”

That group of soldiers may have been running for too long, sweating and unsteady on their feet. The whole formation looks so messy and messy! A soldier in the middle accidentally fell to the ground with his head, and a dozen people behind him fell like dominoes.

When they fell, they did not get up, but lay on the ground and wailed, as if they were badly wounded. A volunteer soldier in the back ran over with a stick and smoked without saying a word: "Get up!" Rubbish! Get up! ”

The fallen ones were pumped up by the swing of his club, but one of the soldiers rushed over at this time, reaching out and grabbing the swinging stick: "Enough! Everyone is a soldier, and they are all ready to fight the Russians! Brothers, why don't you take a little rest when you're tired? What are you doing so your brother! The Volunteers are amazing?! ”

As soon as he saw that someone was coming forward, he immediately went up in a circle of people to give the soldier a boost, and Yang Xiaolin and Duan Qirui immediately walked over.

How could the volunteer soldier who beat him be frightened by them? Despite the extremely unfriendly gazes around him, he still took a step towards the soldier, and the two of them almost nose to nose: "I can tell you that I am here to fight you, and the Volunteers are amazing!" Not convinced, isn't it? ”

The soldier didn't flinch: "Yes." Do you have what it takes for me to obey? ”

The volunteer smiled on his face: "Okay, I'll convince you!" ”

As soon as his words fell, an uppercut hit hit the soldier's heart! This move was completely a sneak attack, and everyone next to him didn't expect that so many people were surrounding him, and he actually dared to make the first move?

The punch exerted all its strength, and the soldier vomited blood in one fell swoop, and his body curled up on the ground in pain. But that's not all, he actually kicked it one by one! The surrounding group of guys who were going to support the soldier were all stunned, and it took a few seconds for a few people to rush up to help! (To be continued......)
