If Wang Maoru decides a good thing, the generals will naturally not object, but how to save the four divisions of the Japanese intervention army needs to be considered in the long run. This involves a secret agreement with Soviet Russia, and not many people know about the "Soviet-Chinese Secret Treaty" in order to keep it secret, but everyone here knows it.

"I'm really unwilling." Zhu Yongquan shook his head regretfully and said, "What a good opportunity to kill people with a knife." ”

Li Pinxian also nodded and sighed, looking at all the generals with this expression, only Zhang Jianwu was only a major general acting division commander because of his low military rank, and he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Ren Yuanxing said: "It's better to kill people with a knife than if we kill them directly." Everyone laughed and applauded, in fact, everyone was addicted, and they all wanted to kill Japan to avenge the First Sino-Japanese War, but there was really no way to kill it. At present, the five provinces of Northeast China rely on the Japanese government a lot, and they cannot be said to be friendly, but Japan restricts the coastal cities and part of the economy and finance in Northeast China, which offends Japan, and Wang Maoru also falls.

Zhu Yongquan said: "But it is too difficult to save them, the millions of troops of Soviet Russia and Tsarist Russia are now in a mess, and they all want to eat each other, and they are all stiff." If we intervene in this way, will Soviet Russia not agree? ”

He Rufei suddenly smiled and said: "Why do you want to fight, Soviet Russia really wants to offend Japan to death, I think I would have killed all the Japanese a long time ago, how could they have been besieged for almost a month, I think they should not want to offend the Japanese too deeply, to prevent the Japanese from retaliating frantically." ”

"That's right." Wang Maoru slapped his thigh and praised He Rufei and said: "You're right, you're right, let me pause." The other generals also suddenly realized, and praised He Rufei one after another, which made him very embarrassed. Wang Maoru said to the generals under him: "That's it, you don't need to fight to save the devil, let's use diplomatic means." Staff Officer Yong, I have appointed you as a special envoy for negotiations to negotiate with the Soviet army to see if we can let go of the little devils -- but not all of them, and we have to leave behind half of the corpses. The crowd burst out laughing.

Subsequently, Wang Maoru sent Yong Xingbao as a representative to negotiate with the Soviet Union as a secret negotiation group with the Soviet Union. The content of the negotiations was how to let the Japanese intervention army go. On the surface, Wang Maoru appointed Ren Yuanxing as the commander of the Salvation Army, and led the 3rd Army Division and the 15th Army Division to form a 37,000-strong Salvation Army to intervene and quickly return to the Volga front to save the Japanese intervention army -- of course, this was all an illusion. They simply will not fight with the Soviets again. The Japanese received a secret telegram from home. Knowing that they had communicated well with the Chinese and cooperated with the Chinese to return to Japan, the Japanese also realized that they might be rescued, and suddenly relaxed a little. The Russians broke through several lines of defense and high ground one after another.

Wang Maoru's move of sending troops to save the Japanese intervention army still made the Beiyang government breathe a sigh of relief, especially Duan Qirui, who had just fought with the Northeast Army, and turned around and begged others, which was really a loss of face.

But Wang Maoru also benefited from the Japanese and the central government. One of the biggest benefits is that the Japanese once again bought 100 million silver dollars worth of 100 million silver dollars in bonds from the Huaxia National Bank, and also provided a lot of second-hand military ordnance free of charge. Liu Qingen, who was in charge of ordnance, found after inspection that the quality of this batch of second-hand military casting machinery provided by the Japanese was absolutely excellent, and he admired the Japanese nation very much, and their maintenance of the machine qì was something that Chinese could not learn.

The Northeast Army also responded to the central government of Anhui, and the five northeastern provinces promised never to be independent, supported the central position of the central government, that is, the Anhui system, and returned some army division equipment and officers. But the soldiers could not be returned, and at the same time in order to calm the conflict. Li Delin, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Army, resigned from the post of deputy commander-in-chief, but continued to serve as the chief security minister of the Northeast Frontier Army. At the same time, Wang Maoru said that he would continue to recruit immigrants in the northeast and pursue the principle of recuperation with the people. The army no longer crossed the area south of the Great Wall. The occupied Luan County is the Northeast Army, which is armed with Anhui and directly under the joint management of the armed forces.

On the surface, the Japanese and the Northeast Army are happy, but the Japanese government can be said to have the most in this deal. This is the first time that China has been sought in diplomacy, in order to compensate China. The Japanese accelerated the pace of withdrawal of troops from Shandong. The Japanese army did not bark at this time, and they withdrew from Shandong like a castrated dog in frustration, leaving only Qingdao and the port of Qingdao as a place for warships to dock.

The whole country celebrated the return of Shandong to China, the spirit of the Beiyang government was boosted, and Duan Qirui's pressure was much less. Many of Wang Maoru's subordinates complained that Xiushuai had done good deeds, but instead became the beauty of Beiyang and made wedding dresses for others. Wang Maoru sighed and said: "At this time, it is not interesting to mention who suffers and who takes advantage, they are all Chinese, and we can see that Chinese take advantage." ”

Ma Liang complained: "That can't be like this, who knows if it's Xiushuai's contribution." ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said: "History will remember, our conscience will remember, and when we die, we will say to Laozi, the king of Hades, that I was for the country and the people at the beginning, but I want to live in the era of peace." ”

Wang Maoru's envoy was dispatched in a very timely manner, and it can be said that it was not only the Japanese who were in trouble, but also the Soviet Russians. The Japanese are not a piece of fat, but a hard bone. The Japanese intervention army, with heavy artillery and intricate trenches, was held in a village far away from the Russian river fleet, with plenty of food, ammunition, and nearly 260,000 troops (including 110,000 Japanese intervention troops, 120,000 Tsarist troops, and 30,000 Czech legions) enough to resist any attack by the Russian army.

At first, the Russians swept the east bank of the Volga River with a great victory, but they were met with resolute resistance from the Czech legions. At the same time, the superiority of the Japanese intervention forces was gradually demonstrated. Unlike the squadron, the biggest advantage of the Japanese army was their sharp artillery and the large number and variety of heavy artillery.

The armament and combat methods of the Japanese are very different from those of the Chinese intervention army, the squadron is far superior to the opponent in light weapons, and the heavy weapons only have 122 mm howitzers, and in addition to this, there are only 75 mm field guns and mountain artillery, the variety is lacking, and the number is scarce, so the squadron has to concentrate all the artillery fire together to form a temporary artillery brigade. In fact, what the Soviet Russian army feared was the close combat of the Chinese, and the fortifications built by the Chinese were extremely advanced and complete, and in close combat, especially within two hundred meters, the group charge of the Soviet Russian army was almost an act of death.

Generally speaking, the way the Russians dealt with the Chinese was to snipe by taking advantage of the range and power of the Russian Nakhimogan rifle, which was far superior to the Chinese E1 rifle. The Japanese, on the contrary, have very weak melee combat capabilities, and as long as they get close to the Japanese, they can only charge with bombs strapped to their bodies in addition to fighting bayonets.

The advantage of the Japanese lies in their heavy artillery and sniper capabilities, especially the performance of the Japanese rifle is not inferior to that of the Russian Nashin Mogan, although it is not as powerful, but in the case of long-range sniping, the Type 38 rifle is not better than the Nakhimmo Gancha. And because of the small caliber of bullets, the Japanese carried a large number of bullets per soldier, which was enough to ensure a sniper duel during the standoff. Such Soviet and Russian soldiers who are not familiar with the Japanese are suddenly a little confused, they are all yellow-skinned troops, why is the difference so big?

Because they did not understand that the Japanese Soviet Russian Red Army crashed headlong into the range of Japanese and Tsarist Russian artillery fire, and suffered heavy losses in the first battle, the Japanese cheered proudly.

Despite the loss of part of their troops, the Russians achieved their strategic goal of encircling Tubanev's Tsarist Volga Army, and now Frunze ordered Tukhachevsky to lead the 5th Army in an attempt to divide the enemy. And in the battle with the Japanese, the Russians gradually understood the way to deal with the Japanese, powerful firepower, and close killing. The Japanese gradually suffered heavy losses, losing troops almost at the rate of one squad per day. Of course, the Russians, despite the fact that they tactically took the initiative and effectively struck at the Japanese intervention army, the Czech intervention army, they faced a crushing defeat tactically.

Kolchak's 1st Tsarist Army had already broken through the Soviet Russian line and was still a hundred kilometers from Moscow.

Quarrels also began within the Supreme Military Council of Russia, and whether to continue to destroy the Volga Army or return to support it remained the biggest problem facing Lenin, Trotsky and others. Stalin, who supported the first annihilation of the Volga army, was strongly attacked by Trotsky and others at the conference, believing that it was his erroneous decision that led to the passive situation at this stage. In the end, in order to appease the anger and punish Stalin, Lenin decided to remove Stalin from his post as supreme secretary of the Southern Revolutionary Committee. Stalin thus hated Trotsky and vowed to avenge it one day.

Frunze is also in a dilemma, and the best way is to use two to three months to trap the Volga army to death. But time waits for no one, and if it is here for two months, Moscow will be in danger and face the situation of being retaken by the enemy for the first time. What a powerful blow and a terrible defeat to the nascent Soviet power. Even the genius Frunze could not have wiped out the Volga army at once.

Now the Volga Army has 260,000 soldiers of the Tsar and the Intervention Army, while the Southern Campaign Group and the Southern Front Army of the Eastern Front of Soviet Russia besieging them have 400,000 people, but they cannot destroy the other side in a moment, which is enough to give Soviet Russia a headache.

The Chinese guessed wrong that it was not that the Soviet Red Army did not want to destroy the Japanese intervention army, they really could not destroy their opponents immediately, and what they lacked was precisely time.
