Rumble! With a loud bang, the sappers in charge of the demolition managed to blow up the command room of the Russian army, and the soldiers then poured into it, scattered documents all over the floor, and in the middle of the empty basement, the Russian commander Sugorov sat depressed, he looked sluggish and motionless.

It wasn't until the Feng army rushed over and followed him that Sugorov said loudly: "I want to see your leader, I want to know whose defeat is at whose hands!" ”

"You'll have a chance, but I don't have time to deal with you right now!" Huang Xiansheng said loudly: "Take it away and send it to the prisoner of war camp." ”

As the day dawned, the gunfire in Borja finally stopped, and the night of fierce fighting finally ended, and with the exception of a few places, there were sporadic gunfires, and the city had completely fallen into the hands of the Feng army.

The good news arrived in Zhang Tinglan's hands, and the entire command headquarters was boiling, and the Fengjun was rejoicing, needless to say, even Wu Peifu showed sincere admiration.

"Brother Humble Yan, since the Opium War, there have been few victories in foreign wars, and only the Feng army can rewrite history. Now it is the first time to go out of the country and win heartily, which is really a great fortune for the country and a blessing for the people! ”

"Brother Ziyu, the Feng army has only won a beginning at the moment, and if you want to win all the time, you need the whole country, unite as one, and concentrate all your efforts to truly defeat the Russians, snatch back the lost land, and wash away the shame of the past."

Wu Peifu nodded, and then said solemnly: "Recovering the country's lost territory is a big thing, overpowering, if Brother Yan has any orders, you can put them forward, Wu will definitely fully cooperate and never shirk." ”

Hearing Wu Peifu's statement, Zhang Tinglan and everyone present also felt a little happy. Obviously, if the Feng army won the victory against the Russians, its prestige would inevitably continue to increase, and the threat to Beiyang would become more direct. Wu Peifu was able to say this at this time, which shows that he still takes the overall situation into account, knows the severity, and is more open-minded than ordinary people.

"Brother Ziyu, if you want to defeat the Russians, you must not only win them on the battlefield, but also in public opinion and at the negotiating table. In the same way, in order to achieve victory, we must coordinate our positions, use the liliang of the whole country, take charge of the war situation with the Fengjun army, and win the support of the great powers on the Beijing side. Mobilize national public opinion and exert greater pressure on Russia. ”

Wu Peifu has really felt the intensity of the battle since he really felt it. The idea of going directly to the war has already been abandoned. The equipment and will of the Beiyang Army could not adapt to the battlefield at all. Seeing that the great work of recovering his homeland was about to fall into the hands of Feng Jun, Wu Peifu was also very anxious.

Now that Zhang Tinglan actually let Beiyang participate in it, no matter what he does, he can always get some credit, Wu Peifu naturally agreed without hesitation: "Don't worry, I'll go back to Beijing now." We will fully support the Feng army. ”

"With Brother Ziyu's words, I am relieved, with 40,000 compatriots as the backing, the Feng army is absolutely sure to win this battle." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Gu Weijun will lead a delegation. Go back to Beijing with Brother Ziyu, and leave the work of liaison and negotiation to him, which also saves Brother Ziyu from worrying. ”

In fact, at present, the Feng army is fighting against the Russians, and even to recover the Outer Northeast, there is a huge obstacle in legal theory, the Feng army itself is a local armed force, and it is the Beiyang government that is widely recognized in China, and many negotiations must be made by the central government in order to be justified.

Now that Wu Peifu can take the initiative to cooperate, Zhang Tinglan is also very happy, the two sides have discussed properly, and Wu Peifu did not enter Borja with Zhang Tinglan, but went back to Beijing directly.

Zhang Tinglan, Yang Yuting and others stepped on the ruins, into the city that was repeatedly ravaged by the war, the whole city was still busy, the soldiers cleaned up the corpses from the ruins, treated the wounded, met their brothers, they were sent to the hospital on a stretcher for rescue, if it was a Russian wounded, they would reward a peanut, and then drag the body away.

There are also many road builders and people who have also entered the city, cleaning up the rubble and restoring the city's functions as soon as possible. Zhang Tinglan walked forward silently, and not far in front of him was a hospital with a tent set up improvised, which was rescuing the wounded and handling them simply. The wounded are then triaged, and the critically ill are sent to the rear for treatment.

Although the casualty data of this battle has not yet been counted, there is no doubt that it was the heaviest loss in all history, and the wounded were constantly sent over. A stretcher happened to pass in front of Zhang Tinglan's eyes, and half of the soldier's body was blurred with flesh and blood, and only half of his right arm was left, and he was moaning in pain.

Zhang Tinglan walked a few steps closely, and when he reached the side of the stretcher, the wounded soldier seemed to see Zhang Tinglan as well, and suddenly showed an excited look on his face, struggling to salute.

"When is it, still talk about hypocrisy, lie down honestly, the doctor will see it for a while, take a good rest, and after a while, he will be a good man who is jumping around!"

A difficult smile appeared on the soldier's face: "Dashuai, I recognize you, when Liaoyang suffered a disaster, it was you and Governor Wang who personally dealt with it, if it weren't for you, the villagers would have died a long time ago, you are our great benefactor." ”

Liaoyang was the first place where Zhang Tinglan implemented the farm system, and now the farms have spread throughout the three eastern provinces, and pastures have also been vigorously promoted in Mongolia, and Liaoyang can be regarded as the first pilot.

Zhang Tinglan couldn't help asking: "How is the life of the people in Liaoyang?" ”

"It's much better, I've been able to eat my stomach for a long time, and I have built three tile houses at home, and my father and mother said that this was given by the marshal, so let me join the army and serve the marshal."

Speaking of this, the soldier's eyes were red, and tears flashed: "I lost an arm this time, and I can no longer fight for the commander, so I will become a waste......

This soldier was only about twenty years old, and he became disabled, which was too cruel, Zhang Tinglan patted him on the shoulder.

"Is it a man, no longer able-bodied, the key is a heart, everyone is the same, they can't serve in the army, they can also break out of the world in other industries, all of them are for the country. When the first independent brigade was formed, there was a soldier who lost an arm on the battlefield and had to leave the army. But now he is managing the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant, and almost all of the munitions used on the front line use Anshan steel, and his contribution to victory is more important than carrying a gun to the battlefield! ”

Yang Yuting also said with a smile: "That's right, General Manager Xia Han is the right hand of the handsome in the economic field, and he has made many contributions recently, it can be said that the brothers can use sophisticated weapons and equip all large-caliber heavy artillery, which is inseparable from his efforts." Da Shuai is right, you must maintain a strong heart at all times, you have walked out of the battlefield, life and death will not scare you, what else is terrible, you will definitely be able to walk out of your own way! ”

When the soldier heard this, his eyes also showed a trace of determination, and he no longer groaned in pain, but kept thinking about the direction of the future.

Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting comforted the other wounded again, and then arrived at the temporary command center, after taking a seat, Sun Anhu seemed to be in a little unhappy, and his brows were furrowed.

Yang Yuting asked with a smile: "Old Sun, after defeating Borja, we have firmly occupied the opportunity, and the battle will be much easier in the next step, why are we sullen?" ”

"I can't figure it out, this victory was all won by the brothers with their blood and lives, without us, with those few pieces of material in Beiyang, how can we have the ability to recover our homeland? As a result, now, Wu Peifu has picked up the cheap and shared the credit, isn't it thankless for us? ”

"Lao Sun, you can't think so, some things can't be done without the cooperation of Beiyang, the "Aihui Treaty" and the "Beijing Treaty" were signed by the Manchu government. The government of the Republic of China inherited the policy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and recognized the validity of the treaty, and if it wanted to abolish the treaty, it was necessary for them to intervene, and to fight a war of public opinion to win the cooperation of the foreign powers, and the central government would come forward in a much more justifiable way. ”

Yang Yuting patiently explained, Sun Anhu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Chief of Staff, I also know these things, but I always feel a little indignant in my heart, and I can't turn this corner!" ”

Zhang Tinglan also smiled and nodded: "I'm afraid that many brothers will have this idea, I can tell you that as long as we can defeat the Russians and take back the Outer Northeast, we will have a stable rear." When the time comes, I will do my best to remove the privileges of the great powers in the Northeast, drive the Japanese out, and realize the true independence of the Northeast. As for the concessions, garrisons, privileges of the great powers, they were all settled. I, Zhang Clumsy, said that either I don't want to fight for the power of Beijing, if I want to fight, I must have full certainty, and I will definitely not learn from Yuan Shikai and become the emperor of the great powers! ”

Zhang Tinglan threw out his strategic idea for the first time, and when Sun Anhu and Yang Yuting heard it, their eyes all lit up, this one really has ideas and courage!

"That's right, as long as the Russians are defeated, we will have the status of equal to the great powers, and when the time comes, they will still want to bully China, and they will definitely not be able to do it!" Yang Yuting said with a smile.

Zhang Tinglan also showed a sneer on his face: "I hate to do loss-making business the most, this time I gave Beiyang a little nominal benefit, and we have to find it back from other aspects." The Feng army is desperately fighting the Russians, whether the Beiyang government wants to allow talents from all over the country to enter the northeast, whether it wants to provide us with all kinds of strategic materials, whether it wants to open the market in the Guannai, whether it wants to vigorously publicize the achievements of the Feng army, as long as these are done, the world in the Guannai will have a ripe day sooner or later. ”

Just when Zhang Tinglan entered Borja with joy, the battle situation was also changing rapidly in Tangnu Wulianghai, thousands of miles away, and the Russians on the Eastern Front were losing and retreating, and it was even more difficult to break through in Tangnu Wulianghai and Outer Mongolia.

Blyukhel could only order the reduction of forces and make every effort to keep Chita, and the 3rd Cavalry Division of the Far East, under the leadership of the division commander Pakrov, withdrew from Kmutik in despair, wanting to flee back to Chita.

But a cavalry had already set its sights on them, vowing to leave the heads of these Russians behind! (To be continued......)
