The 1st Division of the Frontier Guards was fully staffed with nearly 12,000 people, and after this bloody battle, only about 7,000 people were able to come back safely, and among these 7,000 people, more than 1,300 were seriously wounded who were carried back on stretchers.

Zhang Henian and Wu Kaijie's eyes were also red, and they walked quickly in front of Zhang Tinglan.

"Report to the commander, after two days of bloody fighting, a total of 4,723 soldiers of the 1st Division were martyred, and on the way to retreat, 320 seriously wounded left one after another, and there are still 1,363 seriously wounded, of which one-third may never return to the army."

When it came to the number of casualties, Zhang Henian couldn't say it anymore, his eyes were full of tears, the first division can be called the essence of the border guards, and after the first battle, more than half of the losses were lost. The soldiers who used to be happy and jumping have turned into cold corpses in the blink of an eye, and for any person, it is as if the heart and liver have been removed, and the pain is extreme.

Zhang Tinglan also endured her grief and patted Zhang Henian and Wu Kaijie on the shoulders: "The sacrifices of the brothers will be remembered forever, and in the places where they fought, a monument was erected, a cemetery was established, and all the sacrificed soldiers were buried. Here I make a guarantee to the brethren that no one can deprive the land soaked in the blood of the Chinese iron-blooded warriors again, and that your merits are similar to those of Wei Qinghuo, who attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and comparable to Li Jing, who quelled the Turks. If China is revived again and returns to the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, you are the first cornerstone! ”

Listening to the impassioned words, these soldiers also held their chests high, and the tiredness on their faces seemed to disappear. At this time, the reporters had already noticed these soldiers, they were still covered in mud, their faces were covered with gunsmoke, and a large number of soldiers were wrapped in gauze.

From these people, they can clearly feel the cruelty of the battlefield. War is never a literal description of the conversation and laughter, and the canopy is in ashes! It's a real death, a victory that the soldiers fought with their blood and lives.

Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the military has been a despised industry, as the so-called good men are not soldiers, and good iron is not nailed. The soldiers were all given the name of Qiu Ba, and they were despised everywhere, and now they were facing the soldiers who had just come out of the bloody battle. No one dares to have contempt.

Every reporter's eyes are full of awe, for hundreds of years, the Chinese have been looking forward to such a combatable soldier who can protect the land of Shenzhou!

"Long live the Feng army! Long live Lan Shuai! Long live the First Division! ”

An emotionally charged young reporter took the lead in shouting, and the others cheered along. Everyone exerted all their strength, as if they wanted to shout out all the resentment that had accumulated in their chests.

"Lan Shuai. Can you share your thoughts on this big win? ”

"Yes. Lan Shuai, what does Feng Jun think about the country's policy in the next step? ”

……

These excited reporters surrounded Zhang Tinglan, eager to get news from the young commander, and they all felt that this great victory was definitely a turning point in China's fate. And the one who really has the power to change China is the young man in front of him.

"Journalists, the question of the war is not over at this time. There are still tens of thousands of Russian troops in Akinskoye who are stubbornly resisting, and the Feng army will take a more violent offensive to deal with them all. As for other issues, I can only say that the government should defend national interests and the army should defend sacred territory. Only by working together and uniting with each other can we change China's destiny. Of course, there are still some shili, for their own selfishness, disregarding the general interests of the country, and colluding with the Russians, for this kind of bending the knee to the enemy's garbage, it must be thoroughly cleaned up, and it must not be tolerated and connived! ”

Zhang Tinglan's words were murderous, and the spearhead had been aimed at Sun Wenyi, and all the reporters present also recorded it carefully, it seems that Dr. Sun really offended Lan Shuai.

Although Dr. Sun has been defeated repeatedly over the years, he still has a certain appeal in public opinion, and he has always accused others of betraying the country and going wrong, and it is also someone else's mistake. But now Zhang Tinglan directly bombarded the cannon, accusing him of bending his knees to the enemy.

This crime is not small, it is simply pointing at the nose and saying that Sun Wen is Qin Hui, it seems that the domestic situation will also change dramatically in the future, these reporters hurriedly sorted out all kinds of information and transmitted it to the mainland.

Zhang Tinglan accelerated the speed of cleaning up the battlefield, and the Feng army had not yet completely won the victory, so it could only be said that it had an overall advantage, and it was necessary to turn the advantage into a victory. Zhang Tinglan appointed Qin Wei as the commander of the Chita garrison, and Zhang Tingshu as the commander of the 1st Armored Brigade. The main forces of the Russian army in the Far East are all in Akinskoye and Chita, and the rest of the region is very empty.

Now is the time to take advantage of the situation, the most difficult moment of the battle, Zhang Henian did not allow the use of armored troops, but did his best to retain this force with the strongest assault ability, they are the iron fist to expand the results.

Zhang Tingshu did not hesitate, they collected a lot of train locomotives in Chita, and the armored troops directly used the train to maneuver. Chita also built an airfield temporarily, and under the cover of aircraft, armored units rushed in the direction of Ulan-Ude, Irkutsk. Their goal was simple, to seize as much land as possible and gain a head start before the Russians sent reinforcements.

After the armored troops were dispatched, Zhang Tinglan's eyes fell on Akinskoye, there were still fifty or sixty thousand Russian troops trapped here, and if this nail was not removed, the battle could not be regarded as a victory.

Moreover, Zhang Tinglan also learned that Budyonny and his subordinates were the bearded's most trusted subordinates, and if these people were killed, Comrade Iron would suddenly have no right-hand man, and whether he could win the future power struggle would become a huge question.

With the pride of rewriting history, Zhang Tinglan began to deploy a siege of Akinskoye Zuihou. The second, third, fourth, and sixth divisions of the border guards served as the main attack, and six mixed brigades, two separate artillery brigades, cavalry brigades, armored units, special forces, and more than sixty combat aircraft participated in the battle.

The total strength exceeded 80,000, and Sun Anhu and Jiang Dengxuan were appointed commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief respectively, with full responsibility for the battle. This is already a battle without suspense, although the Russians are still trapped and fighting to the death, but these are doomed to be futile, and their destruction is inevitable.

Zhang Tinglan's attention had long since left the battlefield, and he was more concerned about what changes the victory of this battle would bring to the whole of China and even the Far East, and what attitude the great powers would adopt towards the Feng army.

"Humble words, in the past two days, the morale of the people in China has been high, and our victory has been reported everywhere, and young students from all over the country have played the slogan of Long Live Lan Shuai, and the prestige of the humble words can be described as in full swing!"

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Neighbor, we have cooperated for so many years, just say what you want, why bother to praise me!" ”

Yang Yuting said with a smile: "Humble words, I'm not boasting, but the army has accumulated for so many years, and now it can be regarded as a strong soldier, and the people are attached, should we also think about entering the Central Plains?" ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled and shook her head: "Neighbor, the hardest thing in the world is to endure!" One of the main reasons why Chinese civilization has been able to last for 5,000 years is that it knows how to exercise restraint. In most of the time, China will not expand too much, so we can firmly hold the blessed land of the Central Plains, and the wisdom of the ancients is also something we should learn! ”

Jiang Fangzhen also smiled and said: "Humble words, your concentration really doesn't look like a young man, but I really want to give you a thumbs up." This battle seems to be hearty, but we also hurt our vitality and move the roots. The most important thing now is to run the Far East well, accumulate liliang, and wait until the financial resources and troops are abundant, and then think about competing for the world. ”

The Japanese fought for more than two years without a large-scale battle, and the cost of garrisoning alone amounted to 6 or 700 million yen, and almost all the financial revenues accumulated from the First World War were consumed.

The Feng army only lasted for two or three months, but due to the large-scale mobilization of troops, fighting sports warfare, fighting tough battles, armored troops, and air force units, all appeared, and the wealth consumed was also very amazing.

The war expenses alone were more than 250 million yuan, the cumulative number of soldiers killed in the battle was more than 17,000, and there were still a large number of wounded soldiers to be appeased. Pilots, drivers, artillerymen, and other personnel are also seriously depleted and urgently need to be replenished. In addition, there is an ambitious little Japan next to it, although the situation of the Feng army has improved a lot, but it does not really have the strength to enter the Central Plains.

However, this is only Zhang Tinglan's opinion, others are not this idea, especially those powers, after the victory in the battle of Chita, the British and American ministers went directly to Mukden to ask to see Zhang Zuoxiang.

Eston and Klein also learned wisely, and it was very difficult to deal with Zhang Tinglan, a Lund Cathedral discredited them, and the activities of missionaries throughout the country became more and more difficult, and foreign religions were seriously resisted by the common people.

They hated and feared Zhang Tinglan, and they couldn't offend them, so these two people simply came to find the old handsome Zhang Zuoxiang.

Since the last poisoning incident, Zhang Zuoxiang's body has just recovered, and the old man no longer manages various affairs, but concentrates on coaxing his granddaughter to play. Although she is not a grandson, Zhang Zuoxiang is a little disappointed, but this little granddaughter has inherited the excellent genes of her parents, just like a little porcelain doll, which is liked. As soon as he saw Zhang Zuoxiang, his little eyes were full of smiles, which made the old man's heart bloom.

As soon as he came out of his granddaughter's room, the two ministers came to the door, and Zhang Zuoxiang could not be missing, and after he was seated, Klein first said: "Your Excellency, on behalf of the government of the United States, I congratulate you on your great victory. ”

"It's all the soldiers who use their lives, and the people support them, and they don't dare to take credit."

Aiston suddenly smiled and said: "I think the Chinese army can shoulder a greater mission, continue to send troops, completely drive the Russians out of the Far East, and even directly eliminate the majority party!" (To be continued......)
