The Beiyang Army's stabbing jishu is really hard to compliment! Lao Maozi had to suffer the losses of the volunteers in every white-knuckle battle, and even compared with the Japanese, they could only barely make a draw with their size advantage, but in front of the Beiyang Army, the Russians really found self-confidence, like a tiger entering a flock.

The soldiers of the Beiyang Army usually do not pay attention to stabbing when they are training, they want to cooperate with Jishu without Jishu, and often two or three people can't kill a Russian soldier. The Beiyang Army in the trenches is very passive!

What is surprising is that maybe they are not good enough to fight, but they are trying to defend the dignity of the soldiers, and they have no one to take a step back at this time! They are exchanging their lives with the Russians with a heart of blood!

If you can't exchange one, you can get two, if you can't get two, you can get three, and if you can't get three, you can get four!

Akpolier was really stunned, he didn't know what was wrong with these Beiyang Army soldiers? Where are the people who fled in embarrassment the other day? If they stick to Jinzhou with such a fighting will, will they be able to fight it themselves?

The general threw in one battalion and another, but still failed to take down that hill. When the reinforcements of the Beiyang Army rushed up, the general put down his binoculars very helplessly: "Order the troops, withdraw it." ”

The general knew that he could still fight if he sent someone up, and he was sure that he would win, but he didn't want that. This was only the first day of fighting, and the Russians had already suffered more than two thousand casualties, while the Beiyang Army on the opposite side had at least five or six thousand dead and wounded.

Akpolil would be willing to continue to do this in exchange for fighting the Volunteers, but the Beiyang Army was different. From the battle just now, he could see that the fighting quality of these soldiers was really not good, they were fighting to the death with their own breath, and they couldn't attack at this time.

Take your time, and when their breath passes, it's time to fight. Let's blow it up with artillery, if it really is to kill these Beiyang Army Russians will also lose fifty or sixty thousand people. That's tantamount to losing the fight.

Akburier felt that he should change some of his methods of warfare and put on a posture of encirclement. If these people were to see that they were surrounded, maybe that breath would be gone immediately.

"Martinov, surround them at once, keep storming with troops, but don't launch another massive charge."

Major General Martinov clearly understood the general's intentions very well: "General Haode. I think we can set the distance of each charge to a range of 80 meters, their marksmanship is not good, as long as we don't rush up, there should be no loss. ”

Akpolil nodded, and Martinov began to dispatch troops according to the general's deployment. Shift from attacking formations to encirclement.

The Russian signal corps ran up from the rear: "General, the commander sent a telegram to you to defeat this Chinese force as soon as possible." ”

Akpolil picked up the telegram, and Kuropatkin said that Yuan Shikai was still unwilling to take a position on the Mongol question in Beijing, and that the British, French, and Japanese strongly demanded that the Russian troops immediately enter the battle against the Volunteers. And Russia now officially signed an agreement with the British on a military alliance, so it can no longer be as perfunctory as before. He told Akpolier to move faster, kill Cao Kun, and then hurriedly threaten the Jianchang defense line of the Beiyang Army, believing that once the Jianchang defense line was threatened. Yuan Shikai should have compromised.

They need to quickly draw up their forces to encircle and participate in the battle against the Volunteers, in order to show the value of an ally to the British.

Akberlir was in a bad mood after reading the telegram, the Russians had signed a contract with the British, which would have been a cause for celebration if it had been a few years ago. But now. It could mean that war in Europe was about to start.

What kind of war it would be is now no one can say clearly, and no one can guess whether it will be won or lost. The Russian general had been fighting for decades and was really tired of the war.

Putting away the commander's telegram, Akberil suddenly asked, "Is there any news of the beast?" What is he doing now? ”

The clerk immediately said: "Report to the general." The main forces of the Volunteers followed behind the Japanese Third Army and launched a pursuit, and there were enough indications that their target was most likely Danto. ”

Akberil was stunned for a moment. He didn't have to look at the map, because the map of the entire Northeast was in his head. When the general saw that fighting Dandong was really not a haode choice, even if Yang Xiaolin succeeded, the Japanese army would have enough time to mobilize troops from Korea to encircle and suppress him.

weishenme Yang Xiaolin doesn't choose Fengcheng? He couldn't figure it out. But now he didn't think about it, defeating the enemy in front of him was what he should do. After thinking for a while, Akberil called the clerk: "Send a telegram to the commander, just say that our battle here will be over within three days, and I believe that the Beiyang Army in Jianchang will also give in, and Yuan Shikai will also give in." ”

The clerk took note of the general's words, but Akberil added at this time: "By the way, send another telegram to the Japanese side, telling them that we will contain the remnants of the Volunteers in Liaodong, and if they need our help in Liaoxi, we will be more than willing to fulfill our duties as allies." ”

Saying this, Akberil himself laughed, just kind words on the scene, he knew that the Japanese were now in control, and they would not let the Russian troops enter Liaoxi at this time.

Beijing.

Lao Yuan is very angry now, he can't bear it anymore. Although the military alliance between the British and the Russians was directed against Germany, it also had a great impact on events in China.

The British are gentlemen, and a gentleman is a man of his word! Speaking of the Russian alliance, it is necessary to support the Russians in action. Sa Daoyi conveyed a clear message to Yuan Shikai, hoping that the Beiyang government would accept the Russians' conditions and immediately recognize the independence of Mongolia.

As a politician, Lao Yuan knew very well that he was sold to the Russians by the British as a bargaining chip to show his sincerity! He also knew that when he lost the support of the British government, he had no bargaining capital for the Russians.

Sa Daoyi said it very tactfully, but the message was expressed very clearly. There was even a little threat, the British said that if Yuan Shikai did not agree, they would consider looking for a new partner in China! This is simply asking for Lao Yuan's life!

Now the people in China are already very angry, that is, the traditional character of the Chinese for thousands of years determines that he can still sit in Beijing City, if he changes to European countries, Yuan Shikai knows that he will be finished long ago.

Can't Sa Daoyi see his predicament? Is that how he was friends with him?

Yuan Shikai didn't want to make a big deal out of it, he sent troops to Kulen just to give an explanation to the people, even if Lao Maozi really ignored the advance of the Beiyang Army, as long as there was a little reaction, his footsteps would stop in Kulen.

But things really got worse and worse, and he couldn't control the situation anymore.

First Mongolia became independent, then Yang Xiaolin buckled a hat for himself, then Zaitao fired a gun in Mongolia, and now it is Cao Kun who is playing with Lao Maozi in Jinzhou. Things got worse and worse, and the Russians, unwilling to make any concessions, knew that they were going to force themselves to recognize the independence of Mongolia.

Lao Yuan is angry for some reasons! Do you have the ability to fight Yang and fight ghosts? You're still hiding from him in the Northeast! Zaitao can't be wiped out, and now you haven't even cleaned up Cao Kun, so you know that you are shouting at yourself every day here.

Yuan Shikai really can't do anything, he has already figured it out, this time he may not be able to do both, and if he wants to be a bitch, the archway will definitely be gone. If you really care about the torii, you may not even be a bitch.

Sa Daoyi gave him three days to think clearly, Yuan Shikai hadn't seen anyone since he came back from the British Embassy, and he knew that he had to make a choice, and this choice was definitely related to the fate of the entire Beiyang.

The whole person was trapped in the sofa, Lao Yuan's eyes were always closed, and only the middle finger of his right hand was constantly beating the back of his left hand, which showed Yuan Shikai's inner contradictions, restlessness, anxiety, and irritability.

The door was gently pushed open, and Duan Qirui walked in lightly, and after watching Lao Yuan's movements, he stood beside Yuan Shikai and didn't speak. Until Lao Yuan spoke: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Duan Qirui whispered at this time: "Big brother, there is news in Liaoxi, Yang Dagui led people to Dandong, it seems that he wants to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese front is not yet stable, and kill North Korea." ”

Lao Yuan's eyebrows moved twice, as if he wanted to open his eyes, but he finally closed them: "Got it." What else? ”

Duan Qirui's voice was still very low: "There is also Jinzhou, today, there is really a fight." ”

Lao Yuan took a deep breath: "Cao San, have you suffered a loss?" ”

Duan Qirui shook his head: "No, big brother, our Beiyang Army still fights with the Russians......"

Yuan Shikai didn't wait for him to finish speaking: "I know that we can fight with the Russian troops!" But we can't fight with others in China! If nothing else, people are the power of the whole country, what about us? There is also a Sun Wen in the back to make trouble for me, how can you let me fight?! ”

Duan Qirui hurriedly stepped back a little and stopped talking. Yuan Shikai was silent, and after a long silence in the room, Duan Qirui took out a letter from his arms and sent it to Lao Yuan: "Big brother, this is a resignation letter written by Jiang Baili, please take a look." ”

Lao Yuan's face changed immediately! He took the letter as soon as he took it.

Jiang Baili wrote very politely in the letter, saying that he was only a shallow learner and couldn't help Yuan Shikai solve any problems, and he was very ashamed, so he decided to go to Germany for further study, hoping that Yuan Shikai would approve it. Lao Yuan knew that these were all excuses, and the real reason was that Jiang Baili was already very dissatisfied with his actions!

I believe that Jiang Baili is not the only person who thinks like this in the Beiyang Army, he is just making a start. Yuan Shikai once again determined that he had to make a choice quickly, otherwise, it might not be his turn to think about things.

But he really didn't know what to do! Lao Yuan is old, and he has some decisions, and he doesn't dare to go down. (To be continued......)
