After a short pursuit, the remaining two Russian soldiers were also shot dead. Zhao Yongqing and the others went to look for the fleeing Chinese. When they found him, he had already thrown himself next to the snowdrift, covered with dirt.
Snow.
Zhao Yongqing quickly picked him up. At this time, the Fengjun soldiers finally saw his situation clearly. Everyone clenched their fists unconsciously, with angry looks in their eyes.
This man seemed to be less than twenty years old. The cotton coat on his body was very worn and torn everywhere. The dark cotton was exposed. He only had a pair of straw sandals with exposed toes under his feet. In the ice and snow, even though he was wrapped well,
Even if you wear it tightly, you have to worry about getting frostbite. Dressed like this, you are just looking for death.
Everyone noticed that his feet were red and swollen from the cold, and his dark hands, neck, and face were covered with frostbite. These scars were still old and new, layer after layer, and they looked like those on a fish.
The scales were the same. In addition, there was a broken shackle on his ankle. It was obvious that he smashed the shackle before escaping.
Zhao Yongqing opened his sleeves again, revealing his inner arms. He saw dense whip marks all over them. These scars alone were enough to show how much abuse he had suffered.
This young man had fallen into a semi-conscious state and kept mumbling to himself. Zhao Yongqing could only hear words like: "Go home... I want to go home..." intermittently. After hearing this,
The corners of Zhao Yongqing's eyes also turned red. From this young man, he seemed to see his original shadow.
Zhao Yongqing was originally a coolie in the Russian Far East, but he was treated completely like livestock. Every winter was the most difficult time, cold, hungry, and constantly beaten and scolded. It could kill people at any time. Countless Chinese laborers
So he died in a foreign land.
Zhao Yongqing was lucky. At the beginning of the year, Fengjun captured Shuangchengzi and rescued all the Chinese workers inside. He was among them. After returning to the three eastern provinces, Zhao Yongqing immediately asked to join Fengjun.
Perhaps because of the hardship he experienced, Zhao Yongqing worked extremely hard in training and was also outstanding in learning cultural knowledge. He finally stood out among the new army and quickly became a low-level officer.
Now that he has seen this young man's condition, Zhao Yongqing can basically guess that the young man's suffering is probably a little more terrible than his own.
Zhao Yongqing gritted his teeth and said: "His condition is very dangerous. He must be sent to the rear for rescue as soon as possible. We must ask clearly about the situation and who tortured him like this. We must not let those animals go!"
Two Fengjun soldiers immediately sent him to the rear for rescue. Zhao Yongqing led others to continue to guard the border and killed five Russian soldiers. He must beware of Russian revenge. In addition, Zhao Yongqing also instinctively felt this
Things won't end so easily this time, and there might be a bigger storm.
Aihun is just an ordinary small town on the Sino-Russian border, very inconspicuous. It is well-known to the world mostly because the famous "Aihui Treaty" was signed here, which became a shameful testimony in Chinese history.
After the border defense force was formally established, Aihun became the point guard in the middle of the Sino-Russian border. Zhang Tinglan built a large number of fortifications here, and also arranged a heavy artillery regiment equipped with 150mm howitzers, and a large number of
Warehouses stocked an astonishing amount of food and munitions.
As the situation became tense, more and more troops were stationed in Aihun, various logistics facilities became more and more complete, and hospitals were indispensable. Two Fengjun soldiers sent the rescued people to the hospital.
The doctor frowned when he saw the young man's condition. Although they were used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, this was the first time they had seen him being tortured so severely.
The young man was taken to the warm ward. First, they helped him remove his dirty and worn cotton clothes, and then used special liquid to clean the frostbite and whip wounds on his body. The nurse in charge of cleaning her hands trembled while wiping them, and her eyes were filled with tears.
There were faint tears rolling down her face. This was the first time she had seen such a body. There was almost no intact skin on the skinny body, and it was all covered with wounds. Most of them were new wounds, but there were also many old wounds.
After more than an hour, the wound was treated, and some hot liquid food was prepared for him and poured into his mouth. Although he was semi-conscious, his appetite seemed to be good, and he could eat in large gulps.
At this point, the doctor also relaxed a lot.
The person in charge of guarding Aihun was Zhang Henian. After receiving the report, he ordered the troops along the route to strengthen their vigilance and went to the hospital in person to check on the young man's condition.
After the doctor saw Zhang Henian, he said with emotion: "This child's life is really tough. If it had been anyone else, he would have died a long time ago. It's a miracle that he survived after being beaten so severely in such a cold weather!"
Zhang Henian also came to the ward. By this time, the young man had become more awake. Zhang Henian hurriedly walked over: "What's your name? What happened?"
He seemed to be a little confused, his eyes kept moving around, and he murmured: "Where is this, have I gone home?"
"Well, you are back, this is China, this is Aihun!"
After confirming the situation, the young man suddenly burst into tears, as if he wanted to cry out the grievances in his stomach. Zhang Henian and the doctors and nurses around him also felt bursts of bitterness.
After coming here for a while, Zhang Henian said: "Don't cry yet, tell me any grievances you have, and we will definitely help you!"
"Can you really help me?" The young man stretched out his scarred hand, grabbed Zhang Henian's arm, and said loudly: "Can you go to Russia? There are hundreds of thousands of people there.
Workers, if no one saves them, they will die."
After saying this, the young man burst into tears again. Zhang Henian patted him on the shoulder, barely controlled his emotions, and said to him: "As long as we are Chinese compatriots, Fengjun will not just watch. You and I first
Make the situation clear."
The young man finally calmed down and said: "Sir, my name is Ren Anmin. My hometown is in Henan. I broke into Guandong three years ago. When I arrived in the Northeast, I was deceived and sent to Russia to work as a coolie. I worked there for three years.
. Those Russians simply don’t regard us as human beings. Some of the people who were deceived to Russia with me were beaten to death, some froze to death, and some starved to death. I was the youngest. Everyone.
Everyone felt sorry for me, took care of me, and let me last a little longer, saying that God would deal with those beasts."
There has never been a time when Chinese people were so eager to have a strong motherland. Especially these workers who were trafficked to foreign countries were extremely miserable. They engaged in the heaviest labor and endured the worst treatment. Even black slaves
It's not as good as anything else. After all, black slaves still have the right to reproduce. They don't even have this right and can only be called "piglets" with contempt.
"After the Russian revolution, the whole society was in chaos. They were afraid that the Chinese workers would escape. They kept us under strict guard, and the strong ones were even shackled. Just half a month ago, there was a guy who claimed to be the majority
The Russians of the party found us and asked us to join their organization. They jointly dealt with the Russian government, saying that they would give us equal treatment and no longer need to be mistreated."
As soon as he heard about the majority party, Zhang Henian immediately became interested and asked, "Have you joined?"
"No." Ren Anmin shook his head: "After all, they are all Russians, and we can't believe it easily. Then some of them kept looking for us secretly, and then we were discovered by other Russians for some reason. They sent a large number of
The army brought us out of the city and sent us to a special camp outside the city. We were strictly guarded. The camp outside the city didn't even have a wall to protect us from the wind. Everyone said that as long as there was a heavy snow, we would all be killed.
I had to die, so I tried to break the shackles off and ran out."
After Ren Anmin finished telling what happened, tears kept rolling down his eyes: "Sir, I didn't tell a lie. You must find a way to save everyone else. That's thousands of lives!"
"
As Ren Anmin was about to get up and kowtow to Zhang Henian, Zhang Henian hurriedly held him down and said to him: "Don't worry, the Fengtian government will never sit idly by and do nothing. I will report to the top now."
"Commander-in-Chief, there's a call from the front line!"
Zhang Tinglan took a look at the telegram, frowned immediately, and said hurriedly: "Shen Hua, go and call everyone here, let's have a meeting right away."
Sun Anhu, Qin Wei, Jiang Dengxuan, Li Jinglin and others came to the conference room one after another, and Zhang Tinglan delivered the telegram to them.
"Everyone, let's take a look." Everyone passed it around one by one. Sun Anhu, the most fiery-tempered general, frowned and slammed the table: "Commander-in-Chief, these Russian beasts simply regard the Chinese as
We must not sit idly by when it comes to the use of livestock. I advocate sending troops immediately."
"That's right, I see it that way too." Jiang Dengxuan also said at the side: "A dozen Americans died and they carried out large-scale expatriation. We helped out. Now it's our compatriots' turn. If we don't
How will the world view us if we save people?"
"How else can you look at it? It's natural to say that we are slaves and lackeys working for the Americans. If we bear this infamy, I would rather commit suicide. We can't stand this grievance!" Qin Wei also said at the side.
Seeing that his men unanimously took the lead in the battle, Zhang Tinglan also made up his mind and said to everyone: "Since everyone thinks so, then we will leave and send troops to Russia to protect the overseas Chinese!"
After making the decision to send troops, everyone here was very excited. The most important thing for soldiers is honor. If you can send troops abroad to promote the country's prestige, that would be the greatest honor. Everyone was working hard.
"The situation in Russia is complicated. The first batch of advance team members should not be too large. The first brigade of the Border Guards plus the heavy artillery regiment has a total of 7,000 people. As the advance team, I will personally lead it. The target is Hailanpao and Jiangdong No. 64 Tun."
These two places are familiar to everyone. More than ten years ago, the Russians committed a horrific massacre here. Thousands of Chinese were driven out of their homes and driven to Heilongjiang.
The river was brutally massacred and the corpses blocked the river for a time. We cannot forget this hatred. We directly sent troops here to tell the Russians that what belongs to the Chinese will always belong to the Chinese and they will never try to occupy it.
!”
Zhang Tinglan chose Jiangdong No. 64 Tun as the place to send troops. This was also the result of careful consideration. Of course, it was to clear up the hatred of the two massacres. In addition, according to the "Aihun Treaty", Chinese residents also retained permanent reservations in Jiangdong No. 64 Tun.
Right of residence, the Chinese government also retains permanent administrative jurisdiction.
Although Russia later launched a massacre and killed almost all the Chinese, leaving these two clauses in name only, the treaty still existed, and it was justifiable for Fengjun to send troops to restore his power. Interfering with Russia was Zhang Tinglan's long-established policy, but every day
He is very cautious in every step he takes. If you want to make a big difference with your small things, the most important thing is to be cautious.
Feng Jun had already made preparations. After receiving Zhang Tinglan's order, Feng Jun's soldiers immediately mobilized. The army was vast and the five-color flags fluttered proudly in the cold wind. Feng Jun marched in neat steps and opened the
The beginning of intervention in Russia! (To be continued...)
