Chapter 86 The rushing fire of war

On Temple Street, the Russian regular army began to assemble. In the entire Amur coastal province, there were more than 8,000 infantry battalions and more than 5,200 Cossack cavalry. Because it took longer for the infantry to assemble, among the cavalry that had been assembled first, 3,200 of them had already attacked under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Msin, and the remaining infantry regiments were led by Commander Kazakevich, waiting for the assembly to be completed before attacking.

When the infantry battalions of several villages and towns of Tsarist Russians began to gather, Zheng Haitao had already brought his men back to the garrison for a day of rest. The old Scorpion's hidden sword did not rest. Five hundred hidden swords, one thousand infantry cavalry, and five hundred logistics cavalry. The front of the troops pointed at Boli, the Russian Khabarovka, where the 13th border defense camp of Siberia, was stationed here.

It took nearly four days to get here.

Infantry and cavalry are not cavalry, but infantry riding on horseback. In addition to the standard firearms of the insurance team, they also carry twelve 60mm mortars, six of which are pp93 mortars provided by Wang Yi, and the remaining six are 1-guaranteed mortars produced by the arsenal last year, with a range of about two thousand meters.

Boli's thirteenth border defense battalion had received news that Yaksa and Duochen were attacked, but it was not known whether the attacker was a subordinate of the Heilongjiang General or Jilin General on the other side of the river. However, except for them, Tsarist Russia did not seem to have any other enemies in the Far East.

In the past two years, Russia's immigration to the Far East has almost stagnated. In addition, the old Scorpion's village-slaughtering strategy has made the population of Amur's coastal prefecture even worse. Although the Russians often send troops to surround and intercept the bandits, the results have been very little. The old Scorpion doesn't care about the cavalry with less than one thousand people. In this era when the Cossack cavalry also played with spears, big swords, shouted Ula, and played charge, the Type 1 carbine in the hands of the old Scorpion was like a magic weapon. Except for the occasional minor problems, all the cavalry were very caring about this gun with fast and slow machines.

Lieutenant Colonel Kachinko was looking at the map, and the staff officers next to him were also frowning. The empire's military strength in the Far East was not strong and far from comparable to that in Europe. And the sudden emergence of this group of armed forces obviously came to the Qing Dynasty. Who were they?

"Damn it! A bunch of bastards who ran away after being beaten!" Gaqinko cursed casually.

But at this moment, a guard suddenly ran in and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, an unidentified army was found outside."

Before the guards finished speaking, a strange sound rang out in the sky, followed by a rapid explosion. When Gachiko ran out of the room, the two improved Gatling machine guns deployed behind the military walls were attacked by the opponent, and one of them had been damaged. The Russian soldiers began to fight back, but suddenly found that they were useless and that the opponent was far beyond the range. Their strange guns had a long range, but were completely beyond everyone's imagination.

"Cabinet attack, infantry attack, and seize the opponent's artillery position." Gaqinko knew that this could not continue. Once the heavy firepower was destroyed, the opponent would razed the place to the ground.

A quarter of an hour later, the Russian cavalry were in front and infantry were behind, and rushed towards the mortar position deployed by the old scorpion. This was a sparse forest of short trees, with thick snow on the ground. Now, all the old scorpion's army, except for the cavalry, have entered the combat position.

The old scorpion used a telescope to observe the other party's movements, one thousand meters, eight hundred meters, six hundred meters, and four hundred meters!

"Open fire!"

The insurance team stood in front of him with bullets flying inside. The impact of more than 2,000 soldiers on the other side seemed to hit the flying blade. The body was blurred and broken in an instant!

Kachinko suddenly understood that Khabarovka was finished.

But it's not the only one who finished it.

The problem now facing Commander Kazakevich on Temple Street is very serious. Two days ago, Lieutenant Colonel Msin rushed to Suchuna with his cavalry, and his infantry regiment has just been assembled. He was going to go together, but today he got the news that Boli was captured.

"What should I do?"

He didn't know what to do, but Musin, who arrived at Su Chuna, got the news that Bohe Litun was attacked. Bohe Litun is located between Su Chuna and the old Aihui City, and is only a few dozen kilometers away from Su Chuna. He decided to go to rescue him immediately. He never expected that he was attacked by the other party on the way.

At first, like other officers, Msin showed his fearlessness to be loyal and dedicated to the empire. He faced the opponent's bullets and charged towards the enemy's ambush positions. But after he was suppressed by dense bullets, the cavalry that had not been discovered before suddenly rushed over from all directions. Msin finally realized that he was trapped by the enemy, but it was too late to escape at this time.

After dealing with the three thousand cavalry of Msin, Zheng Haitao and Zhang Quande, with four thousand cavalry, three thousand infantry and three thousand logistics soldiers, began to attack Su Chuna. Then they turned back and cleared Hailan Ball, that is, Blagoveshensk, and then there was the cowman. Wherever they passed, like locusts crossing the border, no grass was left.

After the old scorpion beat Boli, he went south to attack Hua Xin, and then returned to Boli to rest. Two days later, he joined Zheng Haitao who had attacked Xu Ergu and headed north along Heilongjiang. First Hongke, then Tailun, and looted all the cities along Heilongjiang in less than two weeks.

Now a large army of more than 10,000 people have already rushed to Miaotun, which is the most important city in the coastal prefecture of Amur in the Russians - Nikolayevsk.

In just over a dozen days, Kazakevic felt like life was like years, his hair turned a lot whiter, and the wrinkles on his face increased significantly, just like someone speeding up the wheel of time, making him age twenty in an instant, and he felt like he was about to die wherever he went.

In the previous battle to assist Tailun, his soldiers were reduced by nearly 3,000, and there were 2,000 cavalrymen. However, these sacrifices had no practical significance except for allowing Kazakevic to see the firepower of the insurance team.

Zheng Haitao once again engaged in barbarian activities, massacring men and elderly women, while young women were all taken away.

Kazakevich kept sighing that the empire's painstaking management in the Far East for nearly twenty years was completely destroyed. "These demons!" He muttered like an old man. "God would punish them, but even burned the church and killed the monks."

The battle on Temple Street suddenly began with the roar of heavy artillery, but suddenly ended after an accident!

Kazakevich died under the bombardment of heavy artillery, and more than 6,000 Tsarist Russians chose to surrender. During this nightmare-like more than ten days, the Tsarist Russians heard too many rumors about the troops in front of them. This time, Zheng Haitao did not start a large-scale murder, of course it was Wang Yi's instruction.

When Zheng Haitao left Miaojie with 6,000 prisoners, the old scorpion stayed. Afterwards, the secret sword flew again, and Miaojie finally became the Chinese city once again. Later, the old scorpion led his people north and directly rushed into Chumikan at the mouth of the Wudi River. Then he went all the way along the Waixing'an line, where the Qing Dynasty patrol Ebo! Then he went south again, clearing all the villages and towns without leaving any chickens and dogs.

After getting the battle report, Wang Yi looked at the map and smiled, saying, "In the past ten days, we have been injected with more than 1.5 million silver dollars from our Da Shang, but we have returned hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land. In addition, the six thousand prisoners who have eaten their meals."

Wu Xiao smiled and said, "Captain, not only that, there were several small steam gunboats parked on Temple Street, all of which were captured by us."

Wang Yi seemed to care at all and said, "Does Li Hongzhang have any answers? Do they want these lands?"

Wu Xiao shook his head and frowned: "No news!"

"I guess I don't have the courage to take on this hot potato!"

"I think so!"

"It's okay. If Li Hongzhang doesn't send a message tomorrow, I will tell them, if they don't want it, then I Da Shang wants it!"

"We?" Wu Xiao was shocked.

"Yes, establish a republic with the Qing Dynasty as its motherland, which is called the Northeast Republic!" Wang Yi laughed and said, "That place is the Great Xing'an Mountains in the north, and the sea in the east, and the west can come. The question is how many people the Russians plan to send? It's not that the young master looked down on them. There is no railway, and we can grind them to death just by robbing their logistics! Besides, they only fought the tenth Russian-Turkish War last year. Although they won the 10th Russian-Turkish War, they were also very damaged. No one's money was blown by the strong wind. Although they won the war and forced the Ottoman Turkey to sign the Treaty of Saint Stefano, they could not afford to offend the British Empire after all, and were rejected by Prime Minister Benjamin Disrelli.

"I didn't expect that the Russian devils would have such a time!" Wu Xiao smiled, and then talked about Wang Yi's proposal, saying: "It's better to let the Russians talk to us, and see how hard they can be!"

"It's better, it's best! Zeng Jize will talk about the issue in Yili, Xinjiang. With Lord Zuo in the back, there shouldn't be a big mistake. As for our side, it's to play the drums and open them up, and let the Russians come to the temple street to talk to us! If you don't agree, you'll beat them! I think they are tough, or the little magistrate is awesome."

Wu Xiao laughed and nodded.

"By the way, send a message to Xiang Long and tell him that I will give him the 20,000 people, so please don't give me all of them! Also, before the war, let a few prisoners go to Shuangchengzi and let Vladivostok be lobbyists. It is best to be able to fight without bloodshed. At the same time, tell them that we will treat prisoners with preferential treatment."

Wu Xiao nodded.

Xiang Long had already led his troops to Dongning, which belonged to Jilin, and was named in the east of Ningguta. He was the territory of the general Jilin, who sat down on the territory of the deputy governor of Ningguta. However, when Wang Yi sent him a message, Xiang Long had already entered Shuangchengzi. This was not a military fort in later generations, but just an ordinary military camp with two battalions and more than 4,000 people. A round of artillery attacks between the two sides, and thirty 105mm howitzers of Da Shang and 60 75mm field cannons, blew up the village beyond recognition. All the artillery soldiers in Wang Yi's hands are now in Xiang Long's hands.

More than a thousand people were directly bombed into pieces in the two border battalions of the garrison, and the rest were scattered and fled directly to Vladivostok. Xiang Long sent cavalry all the way to chase after it was dark. The last one who could reach Vladivostok was probably not one ten!

Since nearly twenty years ago, after filing Vladivostok from the Qing court, Russia has attached great importance to it, but the road is far away and poor supply. So it was not until 1877 that Colonel P*f*Winterberg, the commander of the East and West Siberian Military Region Engineer Soldiers, began to plan to build fortifications in the most important port in the Far East, and his design plan was handed over to Colonel V?p?Shirokov to be responsible for the implementation. A year later, the initial coastal defense project was completed.

Since then, the first commander of the fortress, K*s* Chernoknikov, the commander of the fortress, strengthened the coastal artillery positions and built the first permanent coastal defense fortification in the 1890s. In 1899, Colonel Velicchiko designed a systematic land defense fortification plan. Based on this plan, Jigarkovsky and Colonel S*f*chrij began to build several major fortresses in the fortress in 1900: Fortress No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 faceted fortresses, and three glasses, with the fortresses connected by trenches protected by chest walls. In addition, the "Russian Fortress" and Fortress No. 4 were built in the Russian Mountains and the Sapeni Peninsula, respectively. These fortifications were quite similar to the Lushunkou Fortress built at the same time.

Between 1904 and 1905, the initial construction of the Vladivostok Fortress played an important role, preventing the Japanese army from occupying Vladivostok.

From 1910 to 1916, General A*p*Fernande of the Engineer General A*p*P*Shaosin, Commander of the Engineer of Vladivostok Fortress, was very supportive of this. In the following years, Fortress No. 1-7 and Fortresses A, E, Zh and Z were built on the south bank of the Suifen River Basin from Ussurisk (Shuangchengzi) to the Amursky Gulf. Fortress No. 9-12 and coastal forts were built on the south and east coasts of the Russian Island, and a series of infrastructure such as anti-landing and topped passages were built. The new fortress absorbed all the achievements of military engineering technology at that time, including many well-set bunkers and underground passages.

After reading the information above, Wang Yi knew that Vladivostok was now like a little beauty wearing only a thong, but with two points on it exposed, and was still twisting her waist in front of him.

Of course, there is also the Russian Siberian fleet here. In 1866, it had 43 ships, including 3 cruisers, 13 gunboats, 4 transport ships, 18 steamers, etc. Wang counted carefully. From the 1860s, the Russian Navy served in service, including Sevastopol, Petrobapurovsk, Pervinets, and his sister ships - Nettlerentemenya and Kremlin, Duke Pozalsky, Minin, Admiral, Duke Edinburgh, and the only former dreadnought - Peter the Great. The ten battleships here were ironclad ships starting with Pervinets. In addition to Peter the Great, they were all sail steam-steam mixed warships.
