Although the northern government has been publicizing the victory of the northern army in the war to the common people, the news of hundreds of thousands of Russian troops pressing the border still makes the people in the provinces under the northern government a little worried. They also know that this battle will directly affect their lives.

If the Northern Army loses this battle, they will inevitably become inferior subjects under Russian rule. Only the victory of the Northern Army will allow them to continue to live happily ever after.

The Beiyang government in the Guannai is also actively mobilizing troops, and the troops assembled on the Shanhaiguan line alone exceed 100,000 people, which has caused great pressure on the defending northern army.

Of course, under the propaganda of the northern government, this war between the northern army and the Russians has developed into a war related to the peril of the nation. Even if the Beiyang government does not help, it will not risk the condemnation of the world and stab the northern government in the back. But even so, the northern government could not be trusted with Yuan Datou. The 9th Infantry Division stationed at Shanhaiguan has entered a state of emergency combat readiness, and the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade has also been transferred to Shanhaiguan. Once the Beiyang Army makes a move, the 144 155mm heavy howitzers will definitely make the Beiyang Army pay a heavy price.

In addition, the 15 new infantry divisions formed after the Northern Army are also about to form combat effectiveness. In addition to serving as a reserve force for the containment operation, they will also become a powerful force to guard the Beiyang Army.

Shengjing City, the Northeast Patrol Embassy, Wu Haoxuan was talking with Wu Xingquan and Yang Du.

"Young Marshal, now that Lao Maozi's army of more than 400,000 is advancing, the common people are a little worried that we will lose the war. In addition, the Russians, the Japanese, and even the spies of the Beiyang government are all declaring that we will definitely lose this war. This makes some people even more worried. Yang Du said with a serious face.

"Hmmm! Military intelligence and the Security Service are already teaming up against those spies. Wu Haoxuan nodded.

"This is only a palliative solution, a curative solution, and it is necessary to defeat the Russians. As long as the Russians are defeated, the common people will not be worried. Wu Xingquan also said.

"That's for sure. But. More than 400,000 Russian troops are advancing towards the Mongolian steppe. And our Western Front Command has only more than 200,000 people, which is only half of the Russian army. So, at the beginning of the battle, we will be on the defensive. But the final victory will definitely be ours, there is no doubt about it. "For the defeat of the Russians. To win, Wu Haoxuan has strong confidence.

"That's good, as long as you can defeat the Russians, no matter how many rumors those people make, it's useless." Yang Du said.

"Father, Secretary-General, I want to go to Cullen and take command of this war myself. As for the affairs of Shengjing City, I will leave it to you! Wu Haoxuan said solemnly. Originally. He planned to stay in Shengjing to control the battle situation in this war all the time. But as the tide of battle unfolded, he was also a little worried. After all, the strength of the Western Front is only half of that of the Russians, which is undoubtedly a huge disadvantage.

"You're going in person? No, that's too dangerous. Wu Xingquan directly refused.

"Yes! Young marshal. Haven't all the battle plans been arranged? If you stay in Shengjing City, you can still command the battle on the front line. Now that communication is so convenient, you don't have to be in danger anymore. Yang Du also hurriedly said.

Wu Haoxuan went to Kulun in person, which was undoubtedly too dangerous. Though. Wu Haoxuan has great confidence in this war. But what if something goes wrong and Cullen doesn't hold on? When the time comes. It was undoubtedly a great blow to the government and the army of the North. With the current strength of the Northern Army, even if it fails on the battlefield on the Western Front, it may not have a chance to turn the tables. After all, there are more than 200,000 people in the fifteen infantry divisions formed later. This is undoubtedly a new force. But if Wu Haoxuan falls into the hands of the Russians, then the Northern Army will be completely lost.

Wu Xingquan and Yang Du's opposition, Wu Haoxuan had long anticipated it. However, even so, he had already decided. Jazz won't change. In addition, he personally went to Cullen to sit down, and he also had his own arrangements.

"Don't worry, there won't be a problem. Even with the armies of the Western Front, we are sure to defeat the Russians. Coupled with the cooperation of more than 100,000 troops on the Eastern Front, there is a great chance to annihilate these hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in one fell swoop. The reason why I wanted to go to the front line in person was to grasp the rhythm of the battlefield faster. At the same time, it is also to cheer up the army on the front line. In addition, this operation against Russia, which includes the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops from the Eastern Front Command and the Western Front Command, cannot be sloppy in the slightest. Only when I personally command can I bring into full play the combat effectiveness of all units. Wu Haoxuan said solemnly.

Although Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu and Lieutenant General Shi Deshan are absolutely high-level in the Northern Army. But when the two commands need to cooperate, it is impossible to be completely intimate. Only Wu Haoxuan's personal command can do all this. After all, he is the founder of the Northern Army, and in the Northern Army, there is no substitute for his status and prestige.

In Wu Haoxuan's view, if the war situation develops smoothly, perhaps without follow-up reinforcements, only with the current armies under the Western Front Command and the Eastern Front Command, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops can be annihilated in one fell swoop.

Wu Xingquan's brows were tightly furrowed, Wu Haoxuan was in danger, he was undoubtedly opposed.

"Haoxuan, do you have to go?" Wu Xingquan asked. As a father, of course he knows that Wu Haoxuan's temper is also very stubborn, and once he decides something, he will not change it easily.

"Father, don't worry, I'll be fine. We have already built a complete fortification in Kulen, Lao Maozi lacks heavy artillery, and the cannons commonly used are 76.2 mm field guns, which cannot compare with our 75 mm field guns in power and rate of fire. Not to mention the destruction of our fortifications. We won this battle. Wu Haoxuan looked very confident.

"Alright then, I won't stop you. However, you have to remember that you are no longer just a soldier, whether it is the Northern Government, the Northern Army, or our Wu family, you are the most important. Your safety is the most important thing. Wu Xingquan said.

Wu Haoxuan nodded heavily, he knew that Wu Xingquan cared about him very much.

"Yes, young marshal. Dashuai is right, your safety is the most important thing. Yang Du also said.

"Haha, don't worry, Brother Huizi, no one can take my life until we complete our business." Wu Haoxuan laughed.

Yang Du's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was also full of confidence in the career in Wu Haoxuan's mouth. As long as the Russians can be defeated in this battle, their career will get off to an excellent start.

"Father, Brother Huizi, the next matter of Shengjing will be handed over to you." Wu Haoxuan said solemnly. He personally went to the front to direct the operation, but the stability of the rear was also extremely important.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of the rear." Wu Xingquan said.

"If Yuan Datou dares to find trouble at this time, he must give them a lesson. The newly formed fifteen infantry divisions, if the battle goes well, should not join the battlefield. These troops will be used to defend against the Beiyang Army. Wu Haoxuan explained.

Wu Xingquan and Yang Du both nodded.

After convincing Wu Xingquan and Yang Du, Wu Haoxuan had to convince his two wives.

"Jiahui, Yanling, I'm sorry to worry you. However, I assure you that this time I will be fine, and I will come back safely. Wu Haoxuan looked very confident.

"Brother Haoxuan, why are you still risking your life now?" Ma Jiahui was a little puzzled. The Northern Army is no longer just developing, the total strength of the whole army is 900,000, Wu Haoxuan, the commander, still needs to go to the front line?

"This time it's a complicated situation, we can't afford to lose this fight, we have to win. So, I went to the front line and watched in person. After this battle, I don't think I will have the opportunity to go to the front again. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Brother Haoxuan, I know that you are a person who does great things, and I will not stop you. However, you have to remember that my son and I have been waiting for you at home. Ma Jiahui said.

Wu Haoxuan nodded.

"Haoxuan, let me go with you!" Li Yanling directly made a request. When she was Wu Haoxuan's secretary, she always accompanied Wu Haoxuan to the battlefield.

"No, you're the head of the Security Service now, you have your own job, you don't have to accompany me to Cullen anymore. Now, Lao Maozi, Little Devil and Yuan Datou's spies are trying their best to make trouble for us. The Security Service is going to join forces with the Intelligence Service to dig up all those guys. Wu Haoxuan said. Both the Russians and the Japanese have been operating in the Northeast for too long, and it is very difficult to uproot their spies. Now that those guys have jumped out on their own initiative, of course they can't give up such a good opportunity.

"The fight against espionage can be entrusted to the deputy director." Li Yanling insisted.

"Well, I know you care about me, but I care about you too. You can stay at home and wait for news of my triumph. I promise, I'll come back safely. When I'm done with this time, I'll let you have a baby too! Wu Haoxuan said softly.

Suddenly, Li Yanling's pretty face was red as if it was an apple, not very shy.

"Okay, I'm leaving, and I'll leave the family affairs to you!" Wu Haoxuan hugged his son, and then said to the two wives.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wu Haoxuan secretly left Shengjing City with his guards and took a train to Mongolia. Once in Mongolia, ride to Kulen. (To be continued......)
