Chapter 164 First See

As soon as they entered Changwu County, Shoutian Liyuan and his party did not delay and went directly to the headquarters of the Anti-Russian Volunteer Army. According to the newspaper report, the headquarters was located in a rich gentry's house in the city.

"Frozen to death without tearing down the house, starving to death without looting!"

This is the description of the volunteer army in the newspaper. Three months ago, when the volunteer army first came down to Zhangwu, they had been working in this tent. Later, the rich gentry surnamed Zhang donated his house as the headquarters of the anti-Russian army, although it was "freezing to death without demolition of the house, starving to death without plundering!" He sneered, but on the way to guard Tian Liyuan, he had an experience of the military discipline of the volunteer army.

After several checks, the three of them stepped into the courtyard and heard the conversation not far away. It was a balcony with several officers sitting in it. They were wearing green military uniforms of the Volunteers, and it was known that they were officers of the anti-Russian army.

Listening to them talking about the possible war between Japan and Lucia, Shoutian Liyuan only felt refreshed. Occasionally, when he heard their same inference that Japan might win these wars, he was faintly excited. It was still these Qing people who were knowledgeable!

It seems that it is not only in the capital of the Qing Dynasty, but also for political purposes. Those members of the imperial court believe that they will win. "It is not the competition of the army, but the competition of politics. The death is said to win and Russia is defeated, [***] the constitution, the gains and losses are bright. "This is not the war of Russia, but the war of the constitution, [***] the two political regimes." Those people are for political purposes, but these soldiers who have fought with the Lu army for several months undoubtedly have more say.

After finding the liaison here at the headquarters of the Volunteers, Major Shimada, he took him to the reception of the Volunteers. After being received by an officer at the reception desk, Shoutian Liyuan first expressed his admiration against the Russian army, and then expressed his wish to see General Lin Yanren. A few minutes later, Shoutian Li was led by a second lieutenant officer outside a wing in the back house, which was just a small wing of four joints. Compared with the main hall where the headquarters is located, this is undoubtedly the place where the servants used to live.

The second lieutenant came to Lin Yanren's office. There was a room outside, and there were two soldiers sitting in the room. After entering the real office, Shoutian Liyuan found that the decoration of the office was extremely simple. There were cloth curtains hanging between the walls, obviously to separate the room, and the three walls were full of military maps, and the map was full of red and white triangular flags. The room is equipped with a writing desk and several wooden chairs, which seems to be extremely simple and completely different from the luxurious office of an ordinary Qing general.

Lin Yanren, dressed in a tea-green military uniform, holding a red and blue pencil in his right hand, was sitting behind a large desk, looking at the official document, and there was a military map next to him. Obviously, he was making a battle plan. Hearing the report, he raised his head and nodded slightly, with a smile on his long face.

At this time, Shoutian Liyuan found that Lin Yanren, like other soldiers, was shaving his head and his scalp was blue. Although his eyes are not big, they are black and bright, his eyes are majestic, and there is a small pinch of thick black beard on his lips. Although it was only the first impression, this person left an impression on Morita Liyuan with a military temperament, which is worthy of being a soldier who has studied in Lu Shi.

"Welcome to China!"

Lin Yanren politely greeted the visiting guests. In the past three months, I have provided more than 6,000 rifles to the Volunteers. In return, the Volunteers helped them blow up three railway bridges.

"I have heard Mr. Shimada mention Morita for a long time, and I'm glad to meet Mr. Morita today."

The words were polite, but Lin Yanren sat there arrogantly and greeted Shoutian Liyuan. My help and their arrival were all purposeful. Even the assistance provided to the Volunteers also needed to pay a price. I had no choice but to cooperate with them. I relied on their special Quan can easily send the weapons, ammunition, medicine and munitions needed by the Volunteers to the jurisdiction of the Volunteers, but the family is taking a lot of time.

After a few polite words, Shoutian Liyuan sat down, and his evaluation of Lin Yanren in his heart dropped a little.

"I'm afraid your country is ready to fight against Russia when you go to inspect the Russian army this time!"

Before Shou Tian could answer, Lin Yanren turned his words around and said.

"At present, the situation in the northeast is not optimistic. The Russian army has more than 200,000 troops in the northeast. We have failed several raids. Mr. Shoutian, your calculation is very shrewd. You provide weapons, and we help you destroy the logistics of the Russian army, so that your hope of defeating the Russian army has increased a few more."

He looked at Shou Tian and smiled.

"Of course, there is no doubt that you can defeat the Russians, but I need you to understand that if you need our help, then you must provide more weapons, not only rifles and silver dollars, but also artillery, shells and more rifles, ammunition and silver dollars."

As soon as they met, Lin Yanren directly asked for something from Shoutian Liyuan and Shimada. The telegram from the family was very clear. Try to knock more from the wrongdoer, but I am indeed a small country, and their bid has never been generous.

"General Lin, please rest assured that I will definitely pass on your request to our country's political axe. This time I brought 1,200 rifles and 1,000 boxes of bullets. In the future, if the war really begins, once the strength of the exposed army is contained by the imperial army, you can directly march in the direction of the Bohai Sea. I believe that your army will control it at that time. After going to the sea, the assistance we provide to your army will be further increased!"

Shou Tian Liyuan said in a heavier tone, "Of course, the assistance matches the performance of your army on the battlefield. If your army shows on the battlefield..."

"Do you doubt the combat effectiveness of the Volunteers?"

With a face on his face, Lin Yanren asked coldly.

"In the future, you will know that the combat effectiveness of the Volunteer Army is by no means inferior to the expensive [***] team! Well, Mr. Shoutian, first of all, I thank you for your help, but I also need to remind you that there is no agreement between the Volunteers and your country. It is a shame for soldiers to tear the two great powers on the land of China. The reason why we cooperate with your country is that we have a common enemy, if after driving away the Russians, If you just replace the Russians and try to occupy the northeast, then the anti-Russian volunteer army will be renamed the anti-Japanese volunteer army. When I think about it, you will know the combat effectiveness of the volunteer army!"

Lin Yanren's cold words only made Morida Liyuan and Shimada look embarrassed. They didn't expect Lin Yanren to be so straightforward.

"General Lin, please believe that the two countries of the Qing Dynasty are of the same language. The reason why we are at war with Lucia is to protect your Manchuria. This is Asia. It is said that the two countries in the Qing Dynasty belong to both Asian countries, and it is really a matter of mutual support each other!"

Shimada hurriedly explained.

Through this brief meeting, Lin Yanren left an impression on Morita Liyuan, which was neither good nor bad. Lack of political acumen, no foresight, and a typical military style, it is impossible to become a pillar of the Qing Dynasty like Yuan Shikai. However, unlike Yuan Shikai's foreign compromise, he is keen on the war against foreigners. He is a typical nationalist with Qing-style arrogance in his bones.

"It should be reported to China, and the assistance to the Volunteers should not be increased. This army and Lin Yanren will never become Japanese friends!"

In leaving Lin Yanren's office, Shoutian Liyuan not only commented on Lin Yanren, but also made a comment on the Volunteer Army. This army may be different from many Qing [***] teams, but this general is really too reckless.

"Route and brainless!"

Shimada said to Morita in a low voice.

"That's why we decided to support them, Shou Tian. It's better to deal with people like this. Do you understand?"

As the two walked forward, Shoutian Liyuan met a young officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel. The officer in a leather coat was a little familiar. It seemed that he had seen it somewhere. He had seen it there!

"Coloon Cai!"

Shimada greeted him first.

"Come on, Mr. Shimada!"

Cai E nodded and said hello. He did not have much contact with Shimada, but walked directly in the direction of the commander's office.

"Cai E, Cai Songpo, the head of the 6th Regiment of the Volunteer Army!"

"The Sixth Regiment? Is it the sixth regiment that attacked Siping Street?

Shoutian Liyuan couldn't help but be shocked and looked back at the man again. He didn't expect that this person was the chief officer of the anti-Russian army that attacked Siping Street.

"That's right! It's his army!"

"Cai E,...does he also graduated from Lu Shi?"

"How do you know each other?"

Cai E, who walked into the officer's office, did not know that he was behind him. The two said that he was talking about him, but the reason why he came here was another thing.

"Renxian, I want to know why?"

Cai E quietly looked at the officer sitting in front of him. Lin Yanren in front of him was in Lu Shigao. Although they did not know each other in the past, they are barely friends now. But three days ago, he accepted an unexpected order. He was ordered to hand over the troops to the deputy commander and return to the headquarters immediately. Only when he returned to the headquarters did he know that not only he, but also Baili and others were dismissed from their posts in the staff office and transferred their command in the army.

"Songpo, when you were in Gengzi, you often returned to China with the Tang Dynasty to participate in the uprising of the self-supporting army. After failure, he changed his name to "E" and aspired to "brate to save the people" here..."

Lin Yanren looked at Cai E with a smile. He was supposed to see them off tonight, but he didn't expect that he would come first.

"Maybe you can bleed to save the people, but the place where you really bleed to save the people is not here, so you have to go somewhere else!"

He Tang wanted to let them go. This time, there were more than 200 officers, seven regiments of the Volunteers, more than 20,000 people, more than 200 Lu Shi officers alone, and more than 500 Huangpu students. Although the Volunteers did not need so many officers for the time being, the officers have always been the souls of the army, especially excellent officers. . Although he didn't want to let go, he needed a group of excellent officers to enrich the staff. The order came over there to add 200 Huangpu students to the volunteer army, but another 468 officers were drawn. From the commander of the army to the staff, it was the essence of the volunteer army.

"Other places?"

Looking at the officer in surprise, Cai E frowned. What else is there?

"Everyone knows the Anti-Russian Army, but... Songpo, I once told you that the purpose of the Anti-Russian Army is not only to fight against the Russian Invading Army. He also has a mission. At that time, you asked me, but I didn't tell you. Now I can tell you that the future mission of the Anti-Russian Army is..."

After a speech, Lin Yanren stared at Cai E seriously and slowly spit out four words.

"Reinstate the nation!"

"Who are you!"

"Anti-Russian Volunteer Army soldiers!"

"What is the anti-Russian Volunteer Army?"

"Anti-Russian defense, always loyal, resolute, and work together!"

"What makes the blood flag red!"

"Blood! Blood! "Blood!"

"How do we survive!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"I can't hear you!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Damn it, I still can't hear it!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The deafening roar echoed on the training ground. Wu Peifu, Zhou Shaoqi and others were shocked. Before today, they never knew that in China, there was an army that directly used killing as a way to survive. Although it was shocking, since the birth of the army, it was not for Survive?

"Ziyu, look..."

Zhou Shaoqi pointed to a row of soldiers on the edge of the training ground not far away and walked towards them. Wu Peifu also followed him. On the edge of the training ground, there were dozens of soldiers sitting down and decomposing their weapons to maintain their guns.

"Clean and tidy!"

The soldier wiping the gun murmured while wiping.

"The bolt is smooth and unimpeded, and the battlefield is pulled to kill the enemy..."

One sentence came to the ears of the two people. From the soldier's manner of maintaining the weapon, it can be seen that they were very serious in maintaining the weapon. The dark sweat at the grip of the gun clearly showed that the weapon was frequently used, but the bolt was as bright as new.

"It seems that the gun should be as bright as a mirror!"

Zhou Shaoqi guessed in his heart that although the soldiers in Zuozhen also maintained their weapons, most of them were limited to wiping the barrel. As for the decomposition of the bolts, although the bolts and maintenance would be decomposed, only when the officer inspected, in order to reflect the quality of the army, the bolts would be removed and displayed together with other equipment.

After maintaining the rifle, a soldier pulled out a bayonet to wipe it. The nearly two-foot-long bayonet only looked at Zhou Shaoqi and Wu Peifu. The bayonet was completely different from their common bayonet. The end of the blade was enlarged, which was obviously more suitable for chopping than an ordinary bayonet, and the back sawtooth was extremely sharp, only looking at the wrong saw. Teeth made people feel a chill. While the two were a little shocked by the bayonet, Zhou Shaoqi saw some signs from these weapons.

The bolt is close to the Russian rifle, and the hexagonal box is changed to a round box. The gun body is completely different from the Russian rifle, but similar to the German rifle, and the bayonet is an unprecedented bayonet. The gun is different and the bayonet is different. What does this mean?

"MJ02!"

Staring at the model on the box, Zhou Shaoqi secretly remembered this model in his heart. The volunteer army encountered on the road was either carrying a Russian rifle or a Japanese rifle, while the volunteer army in Zhangwu used this rifle, and the weapon could often reveal some other information.

And on the other side, there was a surprising scene. The two rows of soldiers facing each other, one of which was with a bayonet rifle, pushing the tip of the knife to the front of the other row. Although these people were trying their best to control themselves, Wu Peifu could still feel the sweat on their foreheads and even their legs were trembling.

Any soldier knows the horror of bayonet, especially when pointed at the tip of the bayonet, it can almost make the scary soul out of the body. They obviously do this for...

"The thorn!"

With a shocked shout, Wu Peifu was almost scared out of a cold sweat!

"Kill!"

The bayonets reflecting the sunlight accompanied their roar. The row of soldiers with bayonets roared forward and stabbed forward. The bayonets pierced the side of the opposite soldier's neck, and most of them were obviously scared and collapsed.

Not to mention them, even when Wu Peifu, who was watching from a distance, listened to the "kill", he also felt a tight heart. There was a strong dizziness, his back was cold, and the sweat all over his body came out. In an instant, he almost thought that these people were targeted by living people.

"Bastard!"

And the roaring sergeant, as soon as he saw most of them fall to the ground in fear, he immediately raised his legs and kicked them one by one.

"You don't dare to face the bayonet here. When you go to the battlefield, you will be timid in training, and you will be punished!"

"So that's it!"

At this time, Zhou Shaoqi and Wu Peifu understand that the reason for the bayonet is to practice the courage of these people. Is this the courage? If the timid is scared and move... Neither of them dares to go down again. The training of this volunteer army in the future is a little too much.

The two looked at each other with a blank look, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, but in addition to the shock, they trembled with a little.

"Kunjie, you think this training may be in us..."

Wu Peifu was interrupted by Zhou Shaoqi at the beginning.

"Impossible. This kind of training seems to be quite courageous for soldiers. Even if the best soldiers are selected for thrusts, if the person being assassinated is not careful, in case he tilts his neck, he will die! The officers will not let you take this risk"

Zhou Shaoqi looked at the volunteer soldiers who were born in the face of a bayonet in the neck. They were straightening their buttocks and receiving military sticks. In addition to sighing, he couldn't help sympathizing with them again. He just sat down timidly and was executed. This kind of law of brave army was indeed... "Oh, if it's in the future... I'm afraid that I can only ask for more blessings. "!"

While Zhou Shaoqi and Wu Peifu paid attention to these subtle and unattractive details on this training ground, Shoutian Liyuan and others were more interested in training such as shooting, crossing obstacles and assassination. In their opinion, perhaps this is the embodiment of the comprehensive quality of soldiers. As for those details, it is difficult to enter the eyes of Shoutian. Eye-catching.
