Fighting the ice surface is not enough, and soldiers still need to be stationed, because the weather is still very cold now, and the temperature in the middle of the night can still reach more than ten degrees below zero. The crushed ice will not melt at all, but will freeze here because of the cold weather.

Even if the Volunteers were rich and powerful, they did not have so much explosives to waste. In the future, the reserved defenders would need to work hard, cutting down trees and burning black charcoal, and digging loose black humus soil from the local materials.

Starting every morning, hundreds of people are busy day covering the ice with a large amount of humus and charcoal, borrowing black to absorb the energy of the sun and accelerating the dissolution of the ice surface.

I dare not seek to fight against nature. As long as I ensure that the broken ice surface does not freeze quickly, it is enough that the enemy cannot cross the river safely.

Boom boom boom... The dull explosion sounded behind Xiao Letian. The sound was ten miles away from him. The power of these strong explosives could be seen.

"Fortunately, we purchased a large amount of Nobel Corporation explosives this time. Otherwise, with the power of the black gunpowder in the past, we wouldn't have solved so much ice surface..." Long Ye, who was sitting next to Xiao Letian, put down the map and whispered.

"Yes! For the Far East war, 12,000 kilograms of engineering explosives and detonators in the Chinese arsenal were sent. If this is the case, it still cannot stop the group of Cossacks... I really have no choice!"

Xiao Letian showed a rare look of fatigue. "Oh Master Long! We besieged tens of thousands of Tsarist Russian troops in Amami Oshima. Do you know why I chose to besiege instead of attacking?"

"It's because our arms inventory has bottomed out now! The arms accumulated in three years have almost been exhausted. The price of arms given to us by the Americans has tripled, and some materials have even increased by six or seven times... Damn it! This country will make a fortune in war!"

"Master Long, Master Long! Don't let me down. If you really lose, I really can't change the supplies... To be honest, the bullets and grenades supplied from the sea are actually borrowed from the hands of the Amami Oshima combat troops! Sima Yun, No Heita and the others can only maintain a firepower output for 18 hours now, and you have to fight bayonets if you shoot bullets!"

Hiss... Master Long took a breath. He knew that this war consumed too much financial resources, but he never expected that it would be so big that he even wiped out his family's wealth.

"No... it's not like this, right? Amami Oshima can only maintain a firepower output for 18 hours?"

"That's just a low-intensity battle. If you launch an active charge and can last for ten hours, it will be considered burning high incense!"

Master Long clenched his fists and bit his back teeth and said, "Please rest assured, Prime Minister, Amurhe subordinates will definitely guard you tightly! I will not send a soldier and a soldier across the river at the six main ferries! What is most worrying now is Sister Wu and Hunchun, I am afraid that something will happen to them!"

The two looked west in unison, crossing the Amur River, crossing the Ussuri River and Suifen River, and heading west along the rolling mountains and dense primitive jungles.

In Aihui City, the largest border town on the Heilongjiang River, has become a new star of the entire war. Everything that happens here will profoundly change the geopolitics of the entire Far East.

The northwest wind is howling, and the remaining snow in the forest is blown up by the cold wind. Small ice slags are rolled up in the wind and snow and wet towards people. This kind of late spring cold weather is the most annoying for people outside the pass. People who have experienced coldness know that the most feared thing about dryness and coldness is wetness and coldness.

No matter how warm the fur and cotton jacket are, the warmth will decrease significantly by the water vapor. The cold wind will penetrate into the clothes from every gap, and the frozen people will freeze.

More than ten miles south of Aihui City, there is a town called Shen'anling. This is a dangerous place where the two mountains intersect. The Ga'erchu Mountain to the north and the Tolerhada Mountain to the south, both belong to the branch of the Greater Xing'an Mountain.

A small river flows northward along Shen'anling and flows into Heilongjiang. The checkpoint closest to Aihui City is stationed here.

As usual, in this cold weather, the defenders would never come out to patrol guards. However, today, Heilongjiang General Tepxin got crazy and insisted on staying in Aihui City. This would have caused these ancestors to suffer.

"Mom, what the hell is the weather, it's already spring and April, and the northwest wind is still blowing... Grandma's, it's cold and you don't go into the house to burn the fire, and you still have to patrol? Patrol your grandma's legs..."

A team of five people was patrolling each fork along the main post road. Some of these forks lead to small villages, some lead to forest farms, and some are just small paths that hunters often appear.

According to the rules, they should conduct inspections every day, because this ancient post road is the oldest post road leading to Qiqihar and connecting Shengjing to the pass. There is no need to mention the strategic importance, and it is their obligation to protect the safety of business and travelers.

But the rules are old. People are living on weekdays. Who likes to walk on these lazy people? If you have this free time to go to the checkpoint to cook fire and drink, and exploit the merchants coming and going.

"It's all because of Tepxin. It's okay, you can go and have fun in Qiqihar with delicious food and spicy food! Why are you going to Aihui? You live comfortably in the city, but we have been in trouble for eight lifetimes..."

"Okay, I'll say less! Haven't you heard of the Rakshasa ghost in Ningguta? The fight against the Volunteer Army was so bloody. If Tepxin didn't come here to guard, where else could she go? If there is any mistake in Jiangfang, who can take care of it?"

The rebuked soldier spitted into the snow dump, "Bah... shit! He is still guarding Jiang Fang? Damn Rakshasa ghost was put in by him, I don't know..."

Just as he was cursing, the veteran who was leading the army waved his hand to signal everyone to silence, and then he knelt on the ground and listened carefully on the snow.

"Not good! There is a sound of horse hooves in the south! It seems that the number is at least two hundred, or even more..."

"Damn it, there is an old forest to the south! There are only a few broken villages on the Eyuer River, how could there be so many horses..."

In the eyes of the veteran, the ice crystals on the ground were jumping, which showed that the horse team was approaching quickly. There was no road in the south. There were primitive old forests between the Eyuer River and the Torrellhada Mountains. The villages were sparse and very small in scale. Except for hunters who often appeared, no one would choose to cross the horse team here.

"It's wrong! It's really wrong! Even the rushing team will not run on this path. This is too unrestrained to take care of horsepower! It's a sin!"

Just as he was cursing, a soldier pointed at the corner of the distant mountain road and shouted, "Oh my god! There is really a horse team... and he is also the one who is fucking him. Not to mention that the shackles of somewhere can't be passed, come out and grab them!"

"Bad, look carefully! He is obviously wearing our Kan and armor... These are our cavalry of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Hey... slow down! All slow down! You are from that part..."
