In Jinzhou, there are strong fortifications, and the soldiers also have fighting spirit, and when they have thousands of artillery pieces and sufficient ammunition, the third master does not fight. It was only now that the morale of the army was weakened, the weapons were not complete, and all the artillery was lost, that he asked Wu Peifu if he could fight again.

Don't say that Gulegrevich didn't expect that even General Akberlil, who was rushing here, did not expect that this time the pursuit of the Russian army would be such a result!

They achieved brilliant results, but forced Cao San, who was not prepared to fight them, back. Cao Kun, who has no way to retreat, can only fight to the death with them, the third master thought clearly at this time, there are three consequences of fighting with the Russians, the first is to win, then everyone is happy, Lao Yuan will definitely get off the donkey, not only will not punish himself, but also appease himself.

The second is that the Russians can't kill him, and he can't beat Lao Maozi. Once that kind of stalemate situation appears, the third master will see if Yuan Shikai will send someone to support him, and the old Yuan will send someone over to continue to recognize him as the eldest brother, if Yuan Shikai ignores it, he will have an explanation for the countrymen. He can go to the northeast to find Yang to fight ghosts, but if he can't go up to the mountains to be a bandit, he can still be regarded as a righteous bandit.

Zuihou is the worst-case scenario, they can't beat the Russians. Even if this situation occurs, it is a hundred times stronger than returning to Beijing and being killed by Yuan Shikai as a scapegoat.

The third master is not Yang beating ghosts, Yang beating ghosts is a real beast, he dares to carry what kind of black pot he faces, Cao Kun can't do it! The third master wants to let the people know that he and his subordinates are soldiers and have guns in their hands! He wants to use his own actions to tell those ordinary people that it is really not his idea not to resist, and he will not say who it is, so let the people guess!

Wu Peifu's head nodded quickly: "Yes!" From the attack of the Russians, it can be seen that their large forces have not yet arrived, let's go back and recapture our artillery fire, and then fight to the death with Lao Maozi! ”

The third master didn't say more: "Okay, Ziyu said that he can fight, let's fight!" You command the troops. ”

Wu Peifu didn't talk nonsense. Seeing a general of the Beiyang Army on the side, he immediately gave an order: "Feng Yuxiang, the fifteenth mixed co-ordination!" Ordered you to advance lightly with your men and horses, advance to Chaoyang from the northeast, bypass the Russian army, and attack Jinzhou! ”

"Yes!"

"The twentieth mixed association leader Duan Zhigui! Order you to lead the officers and men of your department to outflank the rear of the Russian troops from the southwest, and set up a defensive line at Fengxia Mountain, and no enemy can leave! Remember, without an order, it is better to fight to the death than to retreat! ”

"Yes!"

"The rest of the troops attacked Xiaolinghe with all their might, and there were those who escaped without permission. No mercy! ”

"Yes!"

After arranging the troops, Wu Peifu was behind his own troops: "Brothers, I will take you to the front in this battle!" There are those who are not afraid of death, now stand by my side, I only need a thousand people, those who have parents at home retreat, those who have wives and children retreat! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Xiaoliang stood up violently: "General! I'm not your soldier, but I ask you to take me! ”

Wu Peifu's eyes turned: "Are you afraid of death?" ”

"Don't be afraid!"

"Good! Count you in! ”

By the time General Gulegrevich gave the order for the Russian troops to rest, the horn of the Beiyang Army had already sounded. The army of more than 80,000 men reorganized a little, and then pounced on Gulegretich.

Wu Peifu must kill this Russian army, first of all, a large amount of their supplies have fallen into the hands of these people, and only by snatching back those artillery guns can they have the capital to fight with the large Russian army behind them. And even more important is the fighting spirit of the army!

The Russians were able to crush their entire force with a few thousand men. This is quite a serious blow to their morale! Wu Peifu knew that if he wanted the soldiers to have fighting spirit again, he had to kill these people and kill them at any cost!

Compared to Cao Kun. Wu Peifu is much simpler. He just fights for the sake of fighting, he doesn't have as many thoughts in the third master's head, and defeating the enemy is the only thing he has to do.

The combat effectiveness of the Russians was not a notch higher than that of the Beiyang Army. But war is not martial arts. More than 80,000 people besieged the Russian army's less than 8,000 troops, Wu Peifu firmly believed that his Beiyang Army was not so vulnerable, as long as he commanded properly, as long as the soldiers used their lives, Lao Maozi could not stand even if he had practiced the Jianghu God Fight.

In order to catch up with the Beiyang Army, these old Maozi have been running day and night for the past few days, and they are really tired, and when the rest order is given, they fall asleep. Gulegrevich did not think at all that these Beiyang Army, which had already been defeated by itself and had lost all its artillery, would come back so quickly! So when the gunfire rang out again, this time it was the Russians who were caught off guard.

Gulegrevich was still bragging to brag about his impressive record with a few reporters when gunfire crackled outside.

Wu Peifu didn't play any tactics with him, let alone fight any attack waves with him, there was no artillery, and when most of the heavy firepower was lost, what tactics did he fight with others, that is, all the troops went up and rushed over from all sides!

This jiashi pulled by the Beiyang Army is not a war, it is a group fight! Lao Maozi got up from the quilt and endured the feeling of back pain and hurriedly organized Liliang to fight back, which did make the Beiyang Army pay a great casualties.

At the beginning, the Russians had to die five or six of the Beiyang Army, but since the Beiyang Army died, the Russians' front has become weaker and weaker!

After half an hour of fighting, at the cost of more than 10,000 men, the Beiyang Army in the south finally broke through the Russian defenses, and the army poured in like a tide through the gap, like the rolling waves that drowned the Russians.

As soon as Guray Grevich saw this jiashi, the troops didn't care, and hurriedly turned around with his own guards and ran! The generals did not have the desire to fight, and they quickly followed the generals when they saw the opportunity, and those who reacted slowly and wanted to be heroes did not even have the opportunity to go.

The soldiers of the Beiyang Army also killed in a big way, and vented all the bird anger in their stomachs on the bodies of the Russian soldiers who were surrounded by them, and the Russian soldiers who were hugging them were a little better, and they could resist for a while, but the miserable old man who was alone on the battlefield was indescribable. More than a dozen soldiers of the Beiyang Army besieged one of them, and they didn't use bayonets, so they were beaten to death on the ground with the butt of their guns!

Although Gulegrevich had just sworn that the Russians would ensure the safety of the reporters, the general himself did not know where to go, and all the remaining thousands of Russian troops on the battlefield were surrounded by Beiyang soldiers. Where else can they be cared for?

As they did in the early hours of the morning, they hung up their press cards, held their hands behind their heads, and stood in front of a cannon. Reporter! ”

Cao Sanye came quite timely, and immediately sent special soldiers to protect them after seeing these reporters on the battlefield, and Sanye knew that these people were very important to him, and he had to open his mouth to help him if he had some words.

The artillery was snatched back by the Beiyang Army. Those light and heavy machine guns and weapons and ammunition were all neatly arranged by Lao Maozi, Gulegrevich originally thought that these were his trophies, but he did not expect to fall back into the hands of the Beiyang Army in the blink of an eye.

Cao Kun watched the troops re-equip their firepower, the artillery also found their weapons, and through this battle with the Russians, the soldiers did regain a little courage, now the troops are cleaning the battlefield, and some teams even chased in the direction where the Russians fled.

"Ziyu. What to do next? ”

Wu Peifu said: "Third master, the Russians' brigade must be behind, I believe it will be here soon." We must now be ready for battle! The ridge in front is easy to defend, and you can build fortifications here with a large group of men. I took part of my troops to meet the enemy. ”

Cao Kun was very surprised: "You are going to attack?" That's dangerous! ”

Wu Peifu's eyes did not show the slightest fear: "They have an army of more than 200,000 people, and we need strong fortifications." I have to hold them back, my subordinates will fight and retreat, I just hope that the third master will move faster. ”

Cao Kun nodded. After a while, he said: "Be careful, don't be bitten by the old hair." ”

Wu Peifu said: "Third master, rest assured! ”

Cao San said at this time: "Ziyu, we can't expect reinforcements in this battle. You just watch how our brothers fight with Lao Maozi's 200,000 people. Don't seek victory, it's just too much to lose, give the brothers a way out, and also give the third master me a way out, you know? ”

Wu Peifu didn't quite understand, and Cao San didn't explain anything more: "Okay, you just remember that we can't have reinforcements." I'm going to meet those journalists, and my brothers' lives are on them right now. I'm going to power it up! ”

The Russians fought Jinzhou with twists and turns, and the Beiyang Army first turned around and ran, abandoning the fortified city and not defending it. Before they could go far, they were caught up by the Russians, and then the 100,000-strong army staged a rout. By the time the war had reached this point, the Beiyang Army had become everyone's laughing stock, and the hearts of the Chinese were really angry!

In a text sent to Beijing by Mettle's reporters, it was said that the 100,000 troops of the Beiyang Army had been routed by the Russians' 5,000 soldiers and horses, that countless weapons and ammunition had been discarded, that countless soldiers had been killed or wounded, and that thousands of artillery pieces had been left to the Russian army.

The emotions of the common people exploded at once, even if the Manchus fought with foreign troops at the beginning, they would not be like this, right? In one day, almost all the yamen of the Beiyang government were attacked, and Lao Yuan angrily scolded Cao Kun's ancestors and eight generations, and then, just as Cao Kun thought, Yuan Shikai ordered Lu Jianzhang, who was stationed in Jianchang, to send Cao San back to Beijing as soon as he returned, so as to vent the anger of the people.

However, the next morning, Lao Yuan had not received the news of Cao Kun's return to Jianchang, and he saw in the newspaper that it was still the news from the reporters of Meittle, which said that the Beiyang Army launched a counterattack in the afternoon of the same day, completely annihilated the vanguard led by the Russian pioneer Gulegrevich, and recaptured their lost artillery baggage.

In the news of Zuihou also attached Cao Kun's power

"The Russians first invaded the northeast, then Mongolia, and now openly attack Jinzhou, without the slightest reason. As a general tasked with defending the territory, Yu never obeyed orders to withdraw from the battlefield. For the integrity of China, for the independence of the nation, for the dignity of the soldiers, and for the well-being of the people, Yu will lead his soldiers to fight the Russians to the end, and he will not regret even if he dies. ”

The righteousness of these words is awe-inspiring and impassioned! General Cao went from a cowardly and incompetent image to a hero in the minds of the people, and the photo of Cao Kun, who was trampled on by those angry youths yesterday, was held high by the procession today!

Lao Yuan's eyes were staring at Cao Kun on the newspaper, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. This guy was crushed by the Russians at the beginning, and it was his own incompetence! Now he still doesn't follow the order to withdraw into Jianchang, and he actually fights with the Russians with real swords and guns!

Since he was pursued by the Russians yesterday, Cao Kun has not sent a telegram to himself, and he has not replied to three telegrams in a row! Before the war, it was obviously this Cao Kun who said that he couldn't fight, but now he says it like a hero when this electricity is on!

Sitting in the room, Yuan Shikai's ears could hear the slogans scolding him outside, rubbing the newspaper fiercely and throwing it on the ground, and two words spurted out from between his teeth with countless hatreds: "Cao San!" (To be continued......)
