The Boli area was the first place to be the residence of the Daur tribe in China. It has rich aquatic products and is famous for its abundant production of salmon, fish and other specialties. With the arrival of immigrants within the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Shandong people built a small fishing port here. The locals are commonly known as "Boli Tunzi", and officially called "Boli".
Bolitun guards the estuary of the Liangjiang River and has a very superior geographical location. It can be from land to the Sea of Japan to the south and from water to the east to the Sea of Okhotsk. After controlling this place, it can control the Far East. Tsarist Russia has coveted Boli and its surrounding areas for a long time.
After occupying Heilongjiang, Tsarist Russia's invasion became even worse. Colonial leader Muravyov and Yi had just signed the "Aihui Treaty", and led Amur Cossacks to start building houses and building churches in the Tulmy Mountains on the right bank of the Ussuri River, making widespread immigrants, and set up forts and fortress cannons. At the same time, the former colonial leader Khabarovka was named Khabarovka.
In the spring of 1859, Muravyov continued to establish 20 new villages and towns in Ususce, including Bushe Village, Shangmikhailov Village, Xiamikhailov Village, Earl Village, and Prince Village. The settlements became denser and denser, and the more people moved, the outposts were set up to Xingkai Lake by land.
Tsarist Russia was only one contract away from formal annexation of Boli. In the spring of 1860, the British and French League attacked Beijing, and the Qing court fled abroad. Tsarist Russian diplomatic representative Ignachev pretended to be a "mediator". While provoking Britain and France continued to attack Beijing, he "helped" Emperor Qi Yi, who had no time to escape, was caught to act as a temporary negotiator. Yi was frightened by Lian Meng and signed the "Beijing Treaty" in a thrilling manner. From then on, the Ussuri River was invaded by Tsarist Russia for more than 400,000 square meters.
The Tsar was very satisfied with the colonial achievements in the Far East. In 1891, the Tsar's crown prince Nikola Alessandrovich also visited Boli thousands of miles away. Tsarist Russia's invasion has not stopped at this point. In 300 miles of eroding Chinese territory, each step of Tsarist Russia's invasion presets the prerequisites for the next step of expansion. The Sino-Russia Beijing Treaty stipulates that all riverside boundaries are established in Chinese territory, which is the preparation for Tsarist Russia to continue to encroach on our territory in the future.
The First Division of the Northeast Army has encircled the fortress of Boli (Khabarovsk) for the second week. 20 new villages, including Bushe Village, Shangmikhailov Village, Xiamikhailov Village, Earl Village, and Prince Village, have long been razed to the ground. There are only 3,000 people stationed in the Khabarovsk area. In the battle in the first three days, they were killed (00), and the remaining troops were driven into the fortress, and less than two thousand people were waiting for assistance in despair.
Boli is only a quasi-fortress now, with three main facilities, but there is no castle with a total length of 24 kilometers, of which the defense line along Heilongjiang to the west is 6 kilometers long.
The fortress has only four temporary turrets, equipped with medium caliber artillery and small caliber howitzers, and most of them are considered to deal with fleets that may appear on the river. For simplicity, the Russians believed that they were invincible on land.
Boli was besieged, and the entire Russian army was shocked. Boli joined Vladivostok in the south, connected to the Sea of Okhotsk in the east and Harbin in the west, which was the Russian war hub, and must not be missed. The Far East Governor Arekuseyev urgently ordered the 17th Army to return to the rescue of Boli, and he led a 120,000 army to continue pursuing and unable to escape.
The 17th Russian Army includes the 54th Infantry Division, the 55th Army Division, 34 people in the entire army, equipped with 120 cannons, and nearly 100 heavy machine guns. Most of them use old-fashioned rifles, which have slow firing speed and insufficient accuracy, but it is enough for Russian soldiers. The brave Russian soldiers are heroes who dare to be good at bays, and only cowards will hide behind the bunker and fire guns.
On November 21, 1895, the 17th Army marched to Bushe Village 70 miles away from Boli, and confronted the main force of the First Division stationed in Shangmikhailov Village. The battle was about to begin.
In the early morning of November 22, the sound of artillery rumbling, and the battle was rushing towards the enemy's positions. Suddenly, the snow and snow broke out, and the soldiers of the Northeastern army could hardly open their eyes.
The shooting line of sight of the gun is blocked and cannot be given to i-support.
At this time, the Russian army was in a downwind position. They put artillery and heavy machine guns on the hills and carried out fierce bombardment on the Northeast Army who were lost in the wind and snow from a high place. The Northeast Army soldiers fell in batches, and the battalion commander led the team was seriously injured. The troops had to be defeated. The Russian Cossack Cavalry Regiment took advantage of the opportunity to recover the village of Shangmikhailov.
After the Northeast Army was defeated, it moved to the Earl Village ten miles away, where the Northeast Army set up a relatively solid temporary defense line, with antlers and trenches scattered, and the entire village was transformed into a huge fortress.
Seeing this, Yang Kenov, the commander of the 17th Army, personally led the army to attack the Northeast Army. This was a veritable bloody battle. Due to the harsh climate, the two sides fought a tough battle, fighting back and forth, and fighting fiercely, and corpses were everywhere. The powerful firepower of the First Division played a role. The Russian army suffered heavy losses under the fierce artillery fire. The 135th Corps lost 800 people in two hours of battle, and the Northeast Army also paid the price of nearly 300 people. The Earl Village was unshakable.
At this time, Yangknov realized that in order to make soldiers fight bravely under the fierce artillery fire of the Northeast Army, he had to set an example. So, the commander of the 17th Army always stood at the forefront of the battle during several hours of fierce battle. The Northeast Army artillery shells continued to fall around him. Once he was almost killed by the artillery shells landed nearby. Some of the guards around him were injured and some died, but he was not afraid.
His subordinates ordered horse preparations to evacuate the kingdom of the god of death as soon as possible, but he refused. He stood there motionless, calmly issued new orders one after another. The guards changed batch after group, and the bodies of officers and soldiers were lying under his feet, and he was always in a position without moving.
The courage of the commander of the 17th Army encouraged his army, and the Cossack soldiers rushed over like a tide, and the cross firepower of the Northeast Army beat them to the point of blood and flesh. After a failed charge, the second rush towards the enemy was launched.
The ruthless strafing caused a large number of warriors to fall, and only a few people were able to rush up to fight with the enemy. Soon, these people were killed by the enemy. The Russian army fell in batches, and the new army continued to replenish, fighting the enemy with a desperate battle. The losses were extremely heavy. The commander of the 17th Army and Zhao Gang were a little overwhelmed, and the soldiers had reached the point of exhaustion.
At this critical moment, the wind and snow that had been facing the Russian army began to change direction and began to blow towards the Russian army. The Russian army was attacked by the Northeast Army and God, and the defense line began to shake, and the losses began to become unacceptable. When the night fell, Yangknov finally couldn't hold on and led the entire army to retreat to Mikhailov Village.
Due to the serious losses and bad weather, the Northeast Army no longer had the power to carry out powerful pursuits, but artillery fired blindly. The battle in Earl Village was the most bleeding battle since Zhao Gang personally directed the battle. 280,000 people, 2,300 people were injured and lost to death due to frostbite.
Although the Northeast Army eventually drove away the Russian army, Zhao Gang knew very well: Yang Kenov was not really defeated, and he still maintained a powerful and very warlike army. Later, the historical battlefield hospital was filled with wounded. The air within several kilometers of the battlefield was filled with blood. The battlefield was covered with corpses, and heavy snow covered them. Zhao Gang decided to leave this place.
On December 2, 1807, after a long siege and surrender, the Northeast Army not only removed the nail behind, but also found a large amount of food and various materials there. The food problem was bright in spring.
At the same time, the 17th Army was in a bad situation. Although it was also stepping up replenishing troops and supplies, looking up, there was no place to raise food. Zhao Gang had already taken away all the food, and there was no food near Boli. At this time, another Russian army joined the attack on Boli, and 16,000 people from the 21st Division joined the ranks of the 17th Army.
At this time, the Second Northeast Division was also struggling to support it. The Russian army's combat power was really strong. From the map, the two Russian teams in Boli were like two big clamps of crabs, clamping the two divisions of the Northeast Army. Where was the Third Division at this time? Zhao Gang looked at the blizzard raging outside the house and began to worry about the Third Division.
How to deal with it? The whereabouts of the Third Division are unknown. Do you have to concentrate all your efforts to defeat the enemy? Isn’t the military strategy saying: “I will divide the enemy and annihilate one part of the enemy”?
124. Under the cover of a blizzard, the First Division of Northeast China quietly took the railway to meet with the Second Division, and the railways along the line were destroyed.
