…………………………

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that defeat is like a mountain. The White Tiger Army was discouraged because of the commander's escape, coupled with the psychological pressure brought about by the onslaught of the First Brigade some time ago, the collapsed White Tiger Army was panicked like a lost dog.

If there were satellites at this time, you would see two torrents rushing towards the White City in close proximity. Those who flee are chaotic, and those who chase are equally chaotic. Now that the 1st Brigade has won a great victory, all that remains is to capture the prisoners and count them as military merits. In Zhang Xiaoshan's view, capturing a White Tiger Army may add a high-quality cavalry to a brigade, so the more you catch, the greater the credit. The soldiers of the first brigade, who were stimulated by the merits, almost tried to eat milk.

Thundered......

The earthquake trembled, and in the face of this incomparably familiar voice behind him, the fleeing White Tiger Army soldiers showed desperate looks on their faces.

"Cavalry! It's the enemy's cavalry! ......The White Tiger Army, who was born in cavalry, is extremely familiar with this tremor. It used to be them who rode horses across the steppes and made the enemy tremble. But now it was their turn, and they knew that the cavalry had killed the incapable infantry of terror, which made the White Tiger Army completely lose the consciousness of escape. He sat on the ground with a pale face and waited for the fate of his captives. Fortunately, although the first brigade is fierce, it is not cruel to the prisoners, which is why the White Tiger Army will accept the prisoners.

"Whoop......" The sound of huge horses' hooves was accompanied by the roar of excitement, and thousands of cavalry roared past the soldiers of the White Tiger Army who were squatting on the ground waiting to be dealt with, without even looking at them. Their target was the military horse farm west of White City. As for the captives underground, leave them to the infantry who follow closely! Anyway, as long as the military horse farm is taken, without the military horses, these White Tiger Army soldiers are not in the pocket of the first brigade.

The cavalry regiment of the 1st brigade roared by, squatting on the ground waiting for the captured White Tiger Army soldiers dumbfounded. What's going on, don't these cavalrymen see their own people? The soldiers of the White Tiger Army looked at each other, not knowing the purpose of the cavalry regiment.

"Oh no, their goal is our military horse farm!" There was an officer lurking in it, whose faces changed wildly. But looking at the soldiers of the White Tiger Army who had lost their fighting spirit around him, the officer beckoned a few people around him and quietly fled in another direction. There were enemy cavalry regiments, and the fate of the military horse farm was predictable.

At this time, the soldiers of the White Tiger Army, who did not understand at all, stopped there in a hurry. Most of the officers have fled. The different soldiers did not receive the order to retreat from the military horse farm, and the reason why they ran towards Baicheng was only because there were Siberian tigers in Baicheng. In their minds, White City might be safer.

In the end, the vast majority of these White Tiger soldiers were captured by the soldiers of the 1st Brigade. Only a small number of soldiers fled with their close officers. Later, Zhang Xiaoshan took control of this area, and those officers of the White Tiger Army who escaped could not escape, and most of them surrendered. It's just that at that time, the First Brigade had developed extremely strong. These people are also not taken seriously.

Changchun City, Headquarters.

The construction of the outer courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion has been completed. The provincial government and the headquarters of the Security Corps were also relocated here. Normally, Li Jun is in charge of the government, and Feng Yong is in the headquarters. But now is the time of war, and Li Jun also has a lot of time to accompany Feng Yong to sit in the headquarters. After all, Li Jun is still the chief of staff of the 28th Division. Many of the military strategies were developed by the two of them.

Now the two men looked at each other, both because of the telegram in their hands.

"Young marshal, it seems that Xiaoshan has played a little bit this time! After the White Tiger Army was completely annihilated, even if the Siberian Tiger fled back to the grassland, I am afraid that it would not be able to become any climate! This is inconsistent with our grand strategy! "Although the Siberian tiger is also a person, and it is also related to the Mongolian leadership. But he was not a high-ranking Mongolian prince after all. Nor is it a big man to be offended within Mongolia, and there is a limit to the forces that can be mobilized in the Mongolian steppe. The reason why Feng Yong did not completely eliminate the Siberian tiger was that he hoped that the Siberian tiger could become a barrier to his western part and temporarily prevent him from coming into contact with the Mongol princes.

According to Feng Yong's assumption, the Siberian tigers will return to the grassland after losing their troops in Jilin, and as long as they do not take the initiative to enter the grassland, the Siberian tigers that need to recuperate will definitely not take the initiative to find trouble. Then his western part will be temporarily stable. Moreover, the Siberian Tiger, whose strength has been greatly damaged, may be more worried that its power will be annexed by the Mongolian princes of the steppe, so it will definitely firmly grasp its own territory, so the entire western Jilin will be safer.

But who knew that Zhang Xiaoshan fought so hard in the last battle. Not only did it break the last line of defense composed of 20,000 White Tiger troops. It also wiped out the White Tiger Army. Feng Yong calculated, losing the last 20,000 White Tiger Army, and the Siberian Tiger didn't seem to have much strength left. So what to do with the vast grasslands she occupies?

"The biggest question we are facing now is whether we occupy the territory of the Siberian Tigers or not. If it is occupied, it may provoke the Mongol princes, and then put our western part in danger. If they don't occupy it, those Mongol princes will also take these territories into their hands, and they will still border us at that time, but in this case, we and the Mongol princes will probably not become enemies. Brother Chuanxin, how do you say we should solve it? Feng Yong was a little distressed. His original idea was to subdue the Siberian tigers, and then completely wipe out the cross-river dragon and occupy Heilongjiang Province. But now Zhang Xiaoshan has fought hard, and he has knocked out nine percent of the strength of the Siberian Tigers. The rest of the ground is difficult to gain a foothold in the Mongolian steppe, let alone defend territory.

"Whether to occupy or not depends on the young marshal's grand strategy in the future. I have one thing I want to ask the young marshal, if we occupy and digest Heilongjiang, what is the next goal of the young marshal? The north is a Russian, the east is a Japanese, and neither of these parties can afford to be offended by our security corps. Then the only remaining ones are Mukden Province and Mongolia. If the young marshal chooses Mongolia, we must seize the opportunity to occupy all the territory of the Siberian tigers. In this way, we not only have the vanguard to occupy Mongolia, but also take the opportunity to understand the internal structure and specific forces of Mongolia. It will be convenient for us to occupy Mongolia in the future. If the young marshal wants to Fengtian and then enter the customs in the future to develop, then it is better not to occupy it, after all, the Mongolian steppe is too empty, the land is sparsely populated, and a large number of troops need to be sent to occupy it. It's a bit more than worth the loss for us. Li Jun analyzed.

Feng Yong frowned, he knew that what Li Jun said made sense. How you choose will indeed affect your future strategic deployment. Feng Yong looked at the vast blank area in the west on the map of the three eastern provinces on the wall behind him. Thinking that this land in the future generations will become an eternal pain in the heart of the Chinese nation, Feng Yong made up his mind.

"Staff Officer Xu ordered the Fourth Brigade to move westward to join the pursuit of the Siberian Tigers, and at the same time set up the Western Theater, with Zhang Xiaoshan as the commander of the Western Theater and Guo Shanhu as the deputy commander. Cui Xiaolong served as the political commissar, and Qian Ding served as the deputy political commissar. The four formed the supreme command group of the Western Theater, and Zhang Xiaoshan took full responsibility. Combat goal: Completely eliminate the power of the Siberian Tiger and completely occupy all the territory of the Siberian Tiger. ”

Li Jun smiled and nodded. It seems that the young marshal has made up his mind. In fact, for Feng Yong, this can be regarded as the best choice. After all, the situation in Mukden is too complicated, and the strength of the Manchu remnants is still strong. In addition, the old father-in-law Zhang Zuolin is a strongman in Fengtian. If he starts a war with Zhang Zuolin, Feng Yong will definitely be criticized by the world. Mongolia is the best choice. Although the Mongolian steppe is still chaotic, the Mongolian steppe is not currently a place of great importance for the princes of the country. Although Yuan Shikai's government would never agree to the secession of Mongolia. However, the internal affairs of Mongolia, the Beiyang government itself is anxious, and of course it is unable to pay attention to it. And it's already early February, and I'm afraid it won't be long before Yuan Shikai steps down. It is only a few months before Quan Kai dies, once Yuan Shikai dies, then the whole world will be in chaos, and the princes of Guannai will only pay attention to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and of course they will not care about the bitter cold land in the north. No one knows the strategic value of the Mongolian steppe better than Feng Yong. If Feng Yong gains access to the Mongolian steppe, then he will expand his huge strategic room for maneuver. Although the population problem is a huge problem. But is there a lack of population in a stable northeast?

"Young marshal, is it time for the north to pause!" The 30,000 dragon guards in the north are a thorn in the thorn in Jilin.

"Why pause! Passing on my order, I ordered the Third Brigade and the Guard Brigade to form the Northern Theater of Operations, with Liu Hei as the commander, Zhen Zhen as the deputy commander, Liu Shan as the political commissar, and Li Fei as the deputy political commissar. Four people formed the Supreme Command Corps of the Northern Military District. Take full charge of the war in the north. Also, with the power on Liu Hei, the White Tiger Army collapsed, and the Long Wei Army was afraid to run! Now that you have entered the land of Jilin, let's leave them all here! A touch of ruthlessness flashed on Feng Yong's face.

"Young marshal, wouldn't this be risky? If something goes wrong, I'm afraid that the entire security corps is in danger of collapsing. Also, the Japanese envoy seems to be dissatisfied with our action against Jiang Long. According to the report of the 2nd Brigade, there are signs of instability in the 1st Brigade on the border between China and North Korea. Their soldiers frequently crossed the Yalu River. Li Jun said worriedly. Little Japan is like a sharp sword hanging above Feng Yong's head, I don't know when it will fall, but Feng Yong can't move them yet.

Feng Yong's face was gloomy and pondered for a while, and he scolded: "His horse's Oriental dwarf! Get in the way every time it matters! Spread the new brother, this time I have to let the Orientals take advantage of it! ”

"Young marshal, do you mean that we can make the Japanese compromise by paying a certain price?"

Feng Yong nodded and said, "In the final analysis, this power of crossing the river dragon is supported by Lao Maozi. And Lao Maozi and Little Japan are mortal enemies. We have fought Jianglong, and little Japan should support it, but as for the opposition, it is not to show its strength in front of us. Don't look at the infinite scenery of Little Japan in the whole of Asia now, in fact, they can bully and bully us Chinese. It's just that our strength is still too weak, so we can only suffer this dumb loss! In this way, hasn't little Japan always wanted to build roads in Jilin Province? Repair, let them repair, but our Jilin Province lacks railways, and we can't afford to repair it at present, so let the Japanese repair it. Feng Yong said at the end, with a smile on his face, not knowing what the hell he wanted.

"Young marshal, let the Japanese build roads, I'm afraid that the Japanese will know the situation in our Jilin well, which is not conducive to the development of our security corps." Li Jun still didn't agree to let Little Japan build the road. After all, at this time, asking foreigners to build roads is tantamount to betraying the country.
