Chapter 32 of Part 5 Finally Here

When Duan Qirui returned to the military headquarters, the sky had completely dimmed. The lights in the command post were bright, Duan Qirui walked over.

"Is Zhiquan back?" Wang Shizhen raised her head when she heard the footsteps.

"How is the situation of the 11th Division?" Feng Guozhang also looked up and asked with a smile.

Without waiting for Duan Qirui to answer, Wang Shizhen took the conversation with a smile: "That boy Qi Chenggong is a top student studying in Germany, so he went to give some face. However, that boy was really strong enough to train troops. In order to fight for the first battle, he slapped the table with the other two division commanders during the military meeting. He made a military order and guarded for at least three days."

Feng Guozhang showed a solemn expression and looked at the map and whispered: "Multanjiang is not as good as Jiamusi. If Jiamusi reinforces from Suihua, it will be more than a day and the road conditions will be good. Qi Chenggong is very brave this time, and there is a whole army of Russians across from him."

Duan Qirui was solemn and whispered: "How is the situation on the 12th Division? Jiamusi is relatively close to Suihua, and the troops of both divisions have been placed. We must persist until Qicheng retreats. I don't know what's going on in the military region. When did Xu Zhen start to take action? He has no right words yet."

Shenyang, Northern Military Region Command, Operations Conference Room.

"Everyone, the navy has taken action and has achieved great results. It has basically blocked the Russian army's retreat. Now the General Staff requires us to annihilate 60,000-80,000 Russian troops in the first phase of the battle, complete the combat plan of compressing the Russian army in a narrow area, and lure the main force in the northeast of the Russian army to attack as soon as possible, and then complete the purpose of annihilation."

"Commander, the Sixth Army has won the first prize, and our brothers must show their skills. Our Fifth Army has been deployed at the frontier of Dandong and is ready to cooperate with Song Qing's North Korean garrison troops to take down Dandong at any time." Jiang Yiding stood up and said loudly, with the dissatisfaction in his tone. Dandong has relatively few Russian troops. The head of these armies is not a good player who is picky and picky. This is not the Liu Yongquan who belongs to Liu Yongfu's line and cannot compete with the Third Army, so he has to go to Dandong.

"Commander, the three divisions of our First Army are also ready to intersperse behind enemy lines." Zhang Guangming was also full of anger. The dignified First Army did not get a main attack task. It had to be divided into three routes. After covering the whole route, it would be inserted straight into the Russian army's defense line and directly into the Huayuankou. What kind of main force can it be considered as the main force if you do such a job?

Liu Yongquan's Second Army got the task of attacking Yingkou this time, so he naturally had to stand up and express his opinion, so he stood at attention and shouted: "Commander, the Second Army has completed its deployment, just wait for the general attack to begin."

"The Third Army..."

"The Fifth Army..."

After the military meeting, the chief officials returned to their respective teams. Wan Shusheng, who was also the commander of the Third Army, cleaned up and was about to leave, Xu Zhen raised his hand and called him.

"Brother Wan, the Third Army and the First Army jointly operated, broke through the Russian defense line in the central area, and then turned to attack Gaiping. This plan was approved after being reported to the General Staff. However, I am still worried that the Third Army has a weak foundation and few veterans."

Wan Shusheng smiled faintly and said, "Commander, you actually want to say that the commanders of the Third Army were all from wild paths back then. Although they had been in military training classes for further studies, they were not more reliable than those from professionals, right?"

Xu Zhen smiled awkwardly, and Wan Shusheng whispered: "When I was fighting the French, wasn't it just Lord Shen who led us from mud-legged troops? When he formed the Third Army, Lord Shen asked me to preside over, so I made such a request and asked some old brothers to come and fuck me. I had no other intentions, just to let everyone see that our mud-legged troops were shot out of gunfire. We took the French cannon at Zhennan Pass and won. Today, we will do the same to fight the Russians. Please rest assured! Save!"

After Wan Shusheng saluted, he turned around and stepped out of the gate. Xu Zhen looked at his back and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Liu Yongfu next to him whispered: "Mr. Xu, there is something a bit unpleasant, but I still want to say it. Lord Shen handed him over to the three of us the six armies of the Northern Military Region. You should be very clear about the purpose and intention. I have been an official in the Qing Dynasty. What the emperor dislikes the most is that his subordinates form cliques. For some things, Lord Shen has been patient and just take care of himself."

Liu Yongfu said and left with a smile. Xu Zhen stayed there and couldn't help but smile bitterly. To be honest, Xu Zhen himself understood that what Shen Congyun wanted was a united state of unity, but people always had a distinction between closeness and alienation. From the bottom of his heart, Xu Zhen always favored those generals who graduated from Tianjin martial arts lecture hall and returned from studying in Germany.

The war is imminent, and Liu Yongfu's words hit Xu Zhen's heart, making Xu Zhen feel a little alert. Some things are really not too good, and they are not good for others and themselves. Especially the Sixth Army, the three Beiyang heroes were very dissatisfied without saying it. Shen Congyun had contacted Xu Zhen several times in private and mentioned this matter repeatedly. It seems that many people were affected by their unconscious actions, although they did not have the intention to form cliques and form small hills.

"Xu Zhen, you are still worthy of your face and are too arrogant at heart. This problem must be corrected." Shen Congyun beat him like this when he met Xu Zhen last time.

The morning sun just emerged, and the snow-covered earth was crystal clear. Captain Battalion Commander Sun Hao, huddled in the frontier command post, staring at the direction of the border with a telescope. In the northeast of early spring, the morning was so quiet. The vast land was a snow-white world. Occasionally, a group of sparrows came out to hunt in the snow, adding a little vitality to the deadly world.

Sun Hao subconsciously looked at a small village not far from the right, and the position of the 2nd Battalion was deployed along a small river. Sun Hao felt a little envious of the 2nd Battalion Commander Zhu Jia. The front of the river was less than 100 meters, and it was a high ground. Although the river surface had long been frozen, the actual defense was obviously better than here.

"Battery Commander." Qian Zhiguo, the first company commander, sneaked over and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw them to Sun Hao and said, "Hehe! This is left after Commander Duan left yesterday. Brothers divided it. I hid two packs, one pack for each person. I heard that this was given by President Shen when Commander Duan went to Shenyang for a meeting. It was so good cigarette."

Sun Hao smiled, lit a cigarette, and said with a smile: "Looking at you so happy, did you say something good when you wrote a letter to your family the day before yesterday?"

Qian Zhiguo's young face turned slightly red. He looked at the quiet earth in the distance and whispered: "What good can there be? It's just that my family told me a wife. He looks pretty handsome, and he is very terrifying in the countryside. When he didn't come out at home, he often looked at her secretly."

"Hey, I didn't see it. You kid is brave enough to peek at the little girl. When the girl came to the hospital for hygiene, wasn't you quite sticky? I didn't see you looking at her, and I thought you were an honest person."

Qian Zhiguo's face dimmed, and he took two puffs of cigarettes hard and said, "Battery Commander, the correspondent returned to the regiment headquarters early this morning. I asked him to take the reply. I will not agree to this marriage."

"Why?" Sun Hao asked for a moment.

"Why else?" Qian Zhiguo looked up at the direction of the border line, threw down the cigarette butt and stepped hard, "The battalion commander of this battle should know better than me. In the front of Mudanjiang, we are the only division in defense, black and Jilin provinces. A total of one division was drawn from the Southern Military Region from the Sixth Army. The division commander said we would drag the Russians here for three days and then lead the Russians to the west. Do you think this battle can be relaxed? If I promised the marriage, wouldn't it harm other girls? You can't be regarded as a vacancier, right? Besides, battalion commander, don't you get married? You are not in a hurry, what am I in a hurry?"

"No, who said it must have been sacrificed? The bullet has no eyes!" Sun Hao smiled.

Qian Zhiguo smiled faintly and said, "I don't know if the bullet has long eyes, but after the division commander left yesterday afternoon, did you also secretly write a suicide note and let the correspondent take it away early in the morning?"

Sun Hao suddenly lost his voice, and after a while, he whispered: "You and I are both graduates from Shanghai Martial Arts School, right? I was two years earlier than you. I remember when I entered the school, Mr. Shen personally gave us a lecture. He said that for more than a hundred years, China has endured shame again and again under the guns of Western powers. If our soldiers cannot serve their country with death on the battlefield to resist foreign humiliation, please leave automatically. He said very politely, but it deeply stimulated me. Since ancient times, soldiers have to prove their value of existence on the battlefield. If they can get the first prize from the commander of this battle, I have no intention of getting off the position alive."

Qian Zhiguo couldn't help but feel a solemn on his face, stood up silently, straightened his military uniform, and whispered: "Do you remember the screen you saw after entering the gate of the Martial Arts School? There is the inscription from the President on it. I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood! Let's encourage each other! I went up and took a step first, battalion commander, salute!"

Qian Zhiguo's back was shaking a little on the snow, and in the morning sunlight, his shadow pulled the old man. As Qian Zhiguo entered the position, a dense whistling sound suddenly sounded in the air.
