Chapter 145: Counterattack!
Chapter 145: Counterattack!
The Russian government handed over the South Manchurian battlefield (Lushunkou to Shengjing) to command by Lieutenant General Alexeyev, commander of the Pacific Navy, and handed over the North Manchurian battlefield (Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces) to command by Grodjekov, commander of the Amur Military Region. Army Minister Kurobatkin is responsible for the full war and is directly responsible to the Tsar.
Russia first divided troops into four groups to attack Heilongjiang and Jilin, China. In order to realize the Yellow Russian plan, it permanently occupied the Northeast and implemented the three-light policy. It was tortured. Wherever it passed, no grass was born, and people and animals died. From rice and white flour to vegetables and poultry, from animals and vehicles to clothing, all of them were within the scope of their robbery. On the one hand, it was because the Russian army had difficulty in supplying in the Far East, and they needed to support and supplement their military supplies through plunder and robbery. On the other hand, it was the cruel nature of these Rakshasa ghosts.
Russia is no match for the ***, and it does not hide its aggressive nature at all. Later generations invaded China's three eastern provinces and was more cunning. They knew how to divide and win over it, and created a pseudo-Manchukuo.
Faced with the vicious Tsarist Russian robbers, there was an invasion and there was a resistance. All ethnic groups and classes in the northeast united to resist Russia and fought side by side, starting from the Heilongjiang River in the north, reaching the Bohai Bay in the south, from the Ussuri River in the east, and to the Hulunbuir grassland in the west, burning with raging fires to fight against Tsarist Russian invasion everywhere. There were dozens of rebel troops in various parts of the northeast. They "caught thousands or hundreds of groups" and cooperated with the defenders to fight the Tsarist Russian invasion everywhere.
Two legions of the four Russian troops were blocked by the Chinese defenders on the front line of Hulunbuir, Aihui, Jilin Sanxingcheng, and Ningguta.
General General Shun Shun led reinforcements with Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang's guards to go north to support Ningguta and Sanxingcheng respectively. He was going to face the Second Siberian Army led by Major General Alexeyev of the Russian army, attacking from Boli.
Jiang Zikang and Song Qing entered the pass from Shanhaiguan to lead the troops north to support Hulunbuir City, Heilongjiang, and faced the Third Siberian Army formed by the right wing of the Amur Military Region troops. The Russian army attacking in the direction of Hailanpao has now arrived at the front line of Aihui and is commanded by Heilongjiang General Shoushan. The ultimate goal of these two Russian troops is Qiqihar, the capital of Heilongjiang Province.
General Iketang A, the Shengjing general, returned to Shengjing and worked with the Beiyang Navy to strictly prevent the Russian army from heading south from Vladivostok through the fleet and attacking other provinces.
On May 28, Jiang Zikang and Song Qing camp, the two troops arrived at the position of the Chinese defender Jacques Ridge, only one day left to the front line Yakestone.
Recently, the Russian army was occupied by Hulunbuir City without any effort. The Chinese deputy commander Yixing'a led a seventh battalion of the cavalry team to retreat to the dangerous land Yakeshi, and the base was strictly guarded and waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Yakeshi is west of the Greater Khingan Mountains. If it falls into the enemy, the most dangerous barrier to the Yakeshiri, the Chinese position on the West Road of Qiqihar, will be exposed to the enemy. After that, the Russian army can drive straight into the attack of Qiqihar, so Yakeshi cannot be lost.
Before the vassal and Yi army even started to fight against the Russian army, the atmosphere between the two armies was still harmonious.
On the Yi side, there was the President of the Yi Army, Song Qing, who was promoted to Zhejiang Admiral after the war. Ma Yukun's troops also belonged to the Yi Army. However, he did not go to the capital to rescue the troops, but joined the army halfway when he went north to fight against Russia. The two Yi Army had a total of more than 10,000 people in the 17th and 8th battalions.
The guards were led by Jiang Zikang, with cavalry, artillery team and third infantry battalion totaling nearly 4,000 people.
After all, Yi has many soldiers and powerful people. Song Qing lives in the main seat, with Jiang Zikang and Ma Yukun on both sides, and then the Yi Gan division was divided.
Song Qing first said the general battle report and said: "Everyone, yesterday, news came from Yakeshi that Zaromude had been lost. The Russian vanguard was led by Major General Orlov, with more than 5,000 people. On the way to Yakeshi, the governor Yixinga asked us for help. I mean to annihilate the vanguard troops of the foreign devils in one fell swoop, and then try to recover Hulunbuir."
After saying that, Song Qing looked at Jiang Zikang to see if he had any additional supplements.
Jiang Zikang stood up, walked to the map, and said with a smile: "I got Yakeshi from Zharomu. The mountains are dangerous and there are many ambushing places along the road. The Russian army is unstoppable. When I am proud and satisfied, I am willing to lead the army to ambush."
Ma Yukun also stood up and said, "Ship Song, let me and General Jiang go together!"
Song Qing pondered for a moment, and finally agreed: "In this way, you two are our vanguard and will go to Yakeshi immediately."
The military situation was tense, so the two hurriedly took the order and left.
On the 29th, before dawn, several Russian sentries were waiting for the successor to arrive on the Russian front line.
The leading sentry squad leader stretched his waist, moved his muscles and asked a soldier beside him, "Alex, when did you think the general will start marching today?"
Akles asked in confusion: "Squad leader, didn't the general say he was sick and postponed the march?"
Kanya saw that there was no one, and then said with a lewd smile: "You know, the general has captured a few Qing women these days and is enjoying it. He only got up every day when the Qing people are not fighting. General Orlov took us too fast and was too far from the army behind. He has been scolded by the superiors!"
Ackles said angrily: "The general only knows his enjoyment. Last time he slaughtered so many women from the Qing Dynasty at once. How great would it be if he rewarded us."
"Stop dreaming, bringing a lot of women will affect the speed of the march. Without women, we can help each other."
"Okay, please help me untie the belt. It's too tight and it's hard to loosen."
The two hugged each other and found a soft place, and turned to the pile of dead leaves next to them.
Mom, that babe, it was really unlucky. Liu Qiang rushed out of the pile of dead leaves with a sound of a thunderous sound and rushed towards a Russian soldier like lightning. Several other senior soldiers received gestures and jumped up in an instant, with several daggers on Aklis and Cania.
Liu Qiang knew that soon after, when the Russian soldiers changed their whistle, he made a killing gesture, and Aklis and Kanya were both killed. Liu Qiang and another soldier stripped off the Russian military uniform and put on a big hat. If they didn't get close, they really couldn't recognize him as a Chinese.
Several people killed several other sentries, put on their clothes, and waited for the arrival of the Russian soldiers who changed their sentry.
"Kanya, don't pretend to be dead. Why do you squat on the ground with your head down?" The Russian squad leader who came to change the whistle and asked, slapped Liu Qiang on the shoulder.
Liu Qiang suddenly burst out, dragging his hand over his shoulder and then hit the Russian squad leader's throat.
Several other Russian soldiers were subdued one after another. Zhu Ba, a Chinese soldier who could speak Russian, stepped forward and asked, "How many people are there in the Orlov army in front?"
The Russian soldier said stubbornly: "I don't know, you'd better let me go. When we fight to Beijing, we can spare your life."
Liu Qiang said coldly: "Kill."
Zhu Ba smiled cruelly, and the two soldiers stepped forward to hold the Russian soldier. He himself covered the Russian soldier's mouth with one hand and took out the dagger with the other hand. The back of the dagger had teeth, which was equivalent to a small saw.
Zhu Ba put the dagger on the neck of the Russian soldier and measured it. He pulled it with concentration in the horror of several other Russian soldiers. As the wound became bigger and bigger, blood splattered everywhere and flew on Zhu Ba's face. Zhu Ba stuck out his tongue, licked it, and continued to execute the execution. The Russian soldier kept twitching. After a while, the dead leaves on the ground were dyed red, and he still had not died.
Zhu Ba pulled another soldier over and said, "Do you know the answer?"
The Russian soldier's legs shook and replied in a trembling voice: "I, I know, ahead of him is a brigade soldier led by General Orlov, and some other cavalry, a large reconnaissance team, with about five thousand people."
"Where is the artillery position?"
"The left wing is four or five miles away from here."
…
Soon Liu Qiang got all the information he wanted to know and then made them shut up forever.
Seeing that the sky was already lit up slightly, Liu Qiang hurriedly ordered: "Notify the left whistle in the woods, take a radio and telegram, quickly find the enemy artillery position as the Russians said just now, and then send it back. The middle whistleman continued to investigate the enemy's front-line defense, and the right whistleman and I went to the enemy command center."
The messenger took the order and left.
Zhu Ba said excitedly: "Captain, are you going to take us to kill the high-ranking official of the *** son?"
Liu Qiang shook his head and said, "I would joke about my brothers' lives. But after our army attacks, we will take the opportunity to catch fish in troubled waters. Maybe the blind cat will hit dead rats."
About ten kilometers away from the Russian military position, countless Chinese soldiers are busy preparing for the war.
Jiang Zikang and Ma Yukun were in the command post, and the telegraph team was busy in the inside, sending back news from various troops. Soon, a telegraph crew ran to Jiang Zikang with an excited look on his face and said, "General Jiang, there is Orlov's main force in front of him. The reconnaissance team has figured out the location of the enemy artillery team."
Jiang Zikang was full of joy and hurriedly said to the messenger beside him: "Send the order to Zhao Ergou quickly and ask him to do a good job in school shooting," he said.
Jiang Zikang looked at the pocket watch and continued, "In ten minutes, I will hear the sound of cannons."
"yes!"
Ma Yukun was dazzled and the guards actually went to various battalions, and even some reconnaissance teams had radio telegrams when they arrived at the post. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Mr. Ye is really willing to spend money!"
Jiang Zikang smiled and said, "You don't need to envy me in Jingshan. In the future, everyone will be a member of the military government. The day before yesterday, the news came from the capital that we will all be renamed the National Defense Forces. Then everyone will be the same. I have it, you have it too."
Is that right? Ma Yukun looked at the sky slowly getting brighter outside, and it might be right to choose the military government.
Hearing the report of the messenger, Zhao Ergou was ready and looked at the pocket watch tightly. Time passed by minute by minute, then raised his hand and shouted: "Fix all the corpses, the artillery team heard it, prepare to shoot three shots of enemy artillery positions, and release them!"
After ordering, the sound of "whimpering" in the air continued, and shells fell towards the Russian position, opening the prelude to the counterattack of the Chinese team.
