The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

The Slavs do things in a simple and crude way, and they apply the same thinking logic when fighting wars.

The method of attacking Vladivostok was completely different. This time, the Russians were almost all cavalry, and they took advantage of the gap of the railway patrol to first tear up the tracks, and then set up an ambush nearby, intending to attack after the train derailed.

This was the most "advanced" strategy the Russians could come up with, but unfortunately it had been discovered by the Jilin Army a long time ago. In addition, Jiang Cheng's Mongolian troops had already discovered their tracks, and had been following them all the way, and were guarding them from a distance like a oriole behind.

The running train soon discovered the damaged tracks. After it braked suddenly to stop, everyone from the train driver to the soldiers escorting the train and even the staff on the train turned around and ran away without firing a single shot.

Assuming that the ambush today was not by the Russians, but by troops from other factions, or other powers, they would probably have become suspicious after seeing this situation;
Even if they were not suspicious, they would have to adjust their tactics, or at least send out scouts to look around.

But the stubborn Russians had no such idea at all. They still followed the original plan and launched a charge towards the empty train.

"Don't move, don't even move!"

The Mongolian Corps was led by Agula. Before they set out, their commander Bayin had specifically instructed them to just drive away these Russians and not to chase them too far... This was a special instruction from their superiors.

Seeing that they were smashing the iron locks of the train cargo compartment, Agula gestured to the mortar team deployed behind him.

Boom boom boom...

On the deadly plain, the sound of metal colliding continued to be heard from the railroad tracks.

The extreme silence amplified the sound infinitely, and even formed a strange echo, as if it was not hitting the locks, but hitting the hearts of the ambushing cavalrymen.

ready.

Agula suddenly made a gesture... and almost as soon as they opened the cargo door and started moving things down, they suddenly launched an attack!
The crisp sounds of mortars being fired came one after another, and the faint light from the primer streaked across the sky, shining on the unsuspecting Russians.

The shells bombarded the vehicle as they landed, and the flames instantly engulfed the vehicle and all the Russians.

Screams accompanied by chaotic Russian voices came out from the explosion, and many unlucky guys with flames all over their bodies rushed around. Agula had already issued the order for a general attack at this time.

Following the orders of their Master Jiang, they drove all the Russians away from the scene and did not continue to chase them.

"Why don't you let us chase them? Look, the enemy's formation is in disarray when they retreat. This is the best time to annihilate them completely!"

Battelle pointed to the distance and said to the fleeing Russians, "Those are all military achievements!"

Agula curled his lips and replied in Mongolian: "Do you think I don't want to chase? How can an eagle in the sky not catch up with a hyena? But the order from above is to let them all leave!"

Bater was very unconvinced, but after all, they belonged to the Jilin Army, and obeying orders was their duty.

"Come, go find anyone who is breathing. Take them all back and give them proper medical treatment."

In addition to not chasing and beating the prisoners to death, Jiang Cheng also ordered that no matter how serious the injuries were, they should be taken back for proper treatment.

They didn't understand, but Jiang Cheng had a purpose.

Unlike the Japanese, we cannot fight the Russians to death.

Jiang Cheng's strategic goal was to hurt the Russians, but not to cripple them, but to make them see their "intention to cooperate." That night, some of the wounded Russian soldiers who were taken back for treatment woke up after being treated by the Bai family, and Ivan, who stayed behind, explained to them the Jilin army's intention to cooperate and ordered his men to treat them well.

However, those Russians who were driven away were surprised to find that the supplies they brought back were neither food nor weapons and equipment, but some things like candles.

While they were wondering, their leader heard a piece of news:
A grand memorial ceremony is being held in Vladivostok to commemorate the victims of last year's war.

This move was extremely cruel to the Soviet troops operating nearby, and the straightforward Slavs were immediately caught off guard... After all, too many of their family members and comrades had died in the war with the Japanese.

The memorial ceremony was tailor-made for them - the leading officer at the moment suddenly realized that the commander of the Jilin Army guarding Vladivostok looked a little familiar.

Later, after further questioning, they found out that when the Japanese army was fighting against them, a senior Fengtian Army official had been supporting their guerrillas openly or secretly.

In addition to providing necessary food and warm clothing, he also gave away a large number of guns and ammunition for free.

These have become important supplies for their counterattack.

So this is a Davari?
But why did this Davari help the old nobles fight them?

Just when these old Russians were puzzled, the wounded soldiers who had been cured in the sneak attack actually ran back to find the troops.

After they said that, the Soviet troops suddenly realized that the commander had fought back in self-defense, but did not intend to fight to the death, but instead planned to cooperate.

The commander, who was worried about how to "liberate" the Vladivostok area due to heavy casualties, suddenly brightened up and sent an envoy to the city to express his desire to negotiate.

Unexpectedly, this series of tricks would be so effective. Duan Congbin, who was responsible for the translation, was surprised and delighted.

But he still suppressed the pride in his heart and translated it to Jiang Cheng seriously.

"Tell him that I am willing to negotiate peacefully, but the prerequisite is that the people in the city, like the nobles, must not be harmed and must be liquidated."

Jiang Cheng reiterated that Duchess Wenlina's soldiers could be recruited, but he also asked the Soviet army to let the orphan and widow go and allow them to live in the city.

He made this request not out of a virtuous heart - but because there were many cases similar to the Duchess in the entire region. If it really was a bloody reckoning, I'm afraid many old nobles would run across the border between him and Wu Junsheng.

Not only will it be a hassle to clear them out at that time, it will also affect the stability of the Northeast.

In fact, for the Soviet army, the most important thing is to occupy and incorporate the old troops... As for these orphans and widows, as long as they lay down their weapons and don't rebel, there is no need for them to completely settle accounts with them.

The negotiations were scheduled for three days later, but Jiang Cheng didn't even attend. It was entirely left to Duan Congbin and Guo Xipeng to negotiate.

Under the powerful military pressure and Jiang Cheng's series of psychological warfare tactics, the negotiations in Vladivostok went exceptionally smoothly.

Basically, these Slavs made the decision on the same day.

The garrison in the city is mainly composed of Soviet troops, while the Jilin Army only has reserved troops for the port - (End of this chapter)
