Master Yuan, start!

The corners of Yuan Xiangcheng's mouth tilted, and he could hardly suppress his smile.

Chapter 301: Converts and Gray Beasts

Chongjin, North Korea, or in other words, Chongjin Prefecture, Haedong Province.

The Tumen River runs from north to south, separating the Korean Peninsula and the Russian Far East.

The spring floods unique to Northeast China brought a large amount of melted snow, allowing the river to have abundant flow even in early March when it had just thawed.

On the south bank of the Tumen River, Jin Weidong, commander of the Fourth Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army, looked at the river rolling southward, his eyes full of excitement and his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.

On the other side of the river is Russian land!

Are we really going to face the Russians head on?

Although nine years ago, when the Sea of ​​Japan Crisis of 9 occurred and Russia bombarded Yongxing Bay in Korea, Jin Weidong also followed Duan Qirui and went north to Tumen River to guard against the Russians.

但当时的俄国2，明显9只是尝试插手4朝鲜，英国人0稍一介入4，他们就3将军舰退5回了海参6崴。

But now it’s different. The Russian army has been slaughtering innocent Chinese civilians everywhere in Heilongjiang, proving that they are serious this time!

The order issued by the Pyongyang command was to cross the Tumen River and destroy the Russian defense forces on the other side.

All we need to do is attract the main force of the Russian-French coalition forces and we can withdraw safely.

There is no doubt that this is the safest approach.

But Jin Weidong doesn't want to stop there, he wants to do more.

He wanted to share more firepower with the friendly forces heading north to Heilongjiang and fighting the Russians on the front line.

"If, if I can reach Vladivostok in one go, wouldn't that be equivalent to destroying half of Russia's military strength?"

Jin Weidong was born a Korean, but now he has long considered himself Chinese.

Facing Russia, which had once forcibly ceded Chinese territory, Jin Weidong wanted from the bottom of his heart to teach them a severe lesson.

At the same time, as the only Korean commander in the first six regiments of the National Defense Force, he felt that he needed to achieve some results to boost the morale of the Koreans.

Justify the title of "National Defense Bear"!

Everyone thought that the Bear of National Defense was a consolation prize given to him by Yuan Shikai. After all, his performance in suppressing the Golden Elixir Sect was not very good.

But how many people know that letting Jindan Dao escape to the west was part of the chief instructor’s plan?

Now that he has the opportunity to face the Russians, Jin Weidong vows to let the world see clearly that his title of "Bear of National Defense" is absolutely true!

This battle was North Korea’s first battle in China!

?嗖?锁?9liu?67?9yi0$?2?

If Yuan Xiangcheng knew what Jin Weidong was thinking, he would definitely think of a noun.

Converts are fanatical.

As a high-ranking Korean official around Yuan Shikai, Jin Weidong was always kept in the rear by him and hardly ever fought on the front battlefield.

This certainly has the idea that "North Korean leadership can better stabilize North Korea", but objectively speaking, it has indeed hindered Jin Weidong's development.

However, Yuan Xiangcheng treated Jin Weidong well and never suppressed him, which caused his inner thoughts to change constantly and gave rise to his fanaticism as a convert.

As a Korean, you have to work harder than the Chinese to become a Chinese!

Jin Weidong's bold idea was not entirely impulsive and he completely disregarded reality.

As the situation in North Korea has developed stably for 10 years, various arsenals on this land have also been making continuous progress.

The 60mm field gun copied from the French has now become the ace product of the Incheon Arsenal. As the workers' skills become more and more skilled, the yield rate continues to improve.

In the past, only artillery battalions were equipped with unified artillery, but as the production of 60mm field guns continued to increase, even infantry battalions were equipped with one or two.

Jin Weidong's 4th Regiment, which has been stationed in North Korea, was the first unit to enjoy this benefit.

In this way, in close combat, front-line infantry can better rely on artillery advantages to suppress the enemy, tear open gaps, and create breakthrough space for friendly forces.

Jin Weidong firmly believed that with these artillery pieces, he could attract more Russian troops for his friendly forces!

...

Although the Russian army under the Tsar was dubbed "gray cattle" in later literary and artistic works, its situation was very miserable.

Fee group*163101

Their medical conditions, food and accommodation were far behind those of the British and French armies of the same period.

However, even such an army is a great enemy of the National Revolutionary Army.

Because there are more than 3 Russian troops in the Far East, plus more than 5000 police forces, and more than 5000 French Foreign Legion troops who came across the sea.

The total number of troops was approximately 4, not to mention artillery and machine guns.

As for the National Revolutionary Army, it had a total of 20 regiments on paper. After deducting the 10th regiment of the Tieliang Bannermen who had already rebelled, there were still 19 regiments.

Among them, the 1st to 9th regiments and the 11th regiment, a total of 10 regiments, are the main combat force, with a total of more than 10 people.

Among them, the first six towns were established before the overthrow of the curtain, and they are the elite among the elite.

The remaining nine towns are reserve and militia forces.

These troops, together with the local patrol battalions, are used to maintain public order in the rear, and it is impossible to withdraw all of them.

Even if it is used, only about half of it can be allocated to second-line auxiliary operations.

If we directly confront the Russian-French coalition forces, something bad will happen.

As for the main force of the National Revolutionary Army mentioned above, 2 are now left in Jiangnan, 1 are surrounding the capital, and only 7 can be mobilized.

Therefore, even if the auxiliary reserve forces are included, the total number of troops available to the National Revolutionary Army is only 11.

Compared with 11, although 4 had more troops, the early battle situation was unfavorable.

At the beginning of the war, when the main force had not yet arrived outside the Great Wall, the best way was to attack without fighting, so as to avoid the dilemma of the second-line troops facing the main force of the Russian army.

Therefore, when facing the Russian army, Yuan Shikai decided to respond with restraint and caution.

...

So how do the Russians view this war?

"Korea and the areas outside the Great Wall will not exceed 15 Qing troops!"

This was the intelligence the Russian governor obtained about the Wehrmacht's military strength, and it was also the basis for him to dare to invade with confidence.

In his opinion, 15 versus 4, the advantage is on me.

Here in Russia with 4 people!

The Russian Governor-General Khovskoy was an out-and-out European supremacist.

Although in recent years, some newspapers have boasted that this country is a rising star in the Far East and is the first among the second-tier powers after Britain, France, Russia, Germany, the United States and Austria.

But in his opinion, the Qing Dynasty's past military achievements were not worth mentioning.

The French Major General Toussaint, who led the team, said that the last time the French army, led by Vice Admiral Courbet, attacked the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty.

This is enough to show how weak and vulnerable the Qing people were.

Although Yuan Shikai's army was invincible within the Qing Dynasty and seemed unstoppable.

But it was a civil war after all. If he faced the great Russian soldiers, he would definitely fail!

Now facing the pure Russian army of 4, the Chinese may have to pay 30 casualties before they can defeat it.

But, does Yuan Xiangcheng have 30 troops?

Therefore, in Khovskoy's eyes, this war was an absolute "parade war"

It's the kind of war where you just need to send a large army to patrol around and the enemy will surrender.

The loss of the Heilongjiang defense line also confirmed his point of view.

Russia's Amur Governor-General was still steeped in the old-fashioned view of the European world.

However, what he did not know was that the National Revolutionary Army was now at the same level as the Russian Army in the Far East in terms of weapons and equipment.

However, when it comes to the use of tactics and battlefield deployment, the Russians are notoriously brainless.

Gray cattle, whose strength lies in the word "cattle".

Without the countless "low human rights advantages", the army only has 4 troops to stop the National Defense Force.

Without a doubt, it’s a pipe dream!

Chapter 302 Intelligence Front 6

At the Vladivostok pier, two Chinese men wearing berets lifted the curtain and walked out of a rickshaw.

Tumor?n9?667+9yao02?

If you look closely, you can seem to see that they have hair on their temples and a few strands of black hair are faintly visible at the back of their heads.

It is obvious that these two people do not have braids on their heads.

However, this is nothing new in Vladivostok.

This city, under the rule of Tsarist Russia, treated everyone equally, except for the officials and nobles transferred from Europe to rule.

All the rest of the people, Chinese, Japanese, and former Koreans, no matter what hairstyle you have or what language you speak, are treated the same as consumables.

The same was true even for the poor serfs who had "liberated" and migrated from Europe.

The Russian masters relied on the hands of the Chinese to build Vladivostok and open factories, but they did not give these builders the dignity they deserved.

The blood and tears of the Chinese also flow in Southeast Asia and Outer Northeast China.

"beep"

The sound of a ship approaching the shore was heard. The middle-aged man in the lead looked at the ship spewing thick smoke and sighed:

"Xiao Linzi, the boat is coming."

Hearing this, the young man called Xiao Linzi turned around.

Looking at the ship slowly entering the port, he looked back at the middle-aged man behind him reluctantly.

"Stationmaster, do you really want to stay here?"

"The organization needs me, I must stay!"
