1644 Blocked Heilongjiang
In the late Qing Dynasty, there were actually only a few roads leading to overseas in Heilongjiang Province. The Hulunbuir area to the west was now under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang. This is a grassland that is directly connected to Mongolia. It is said that this is the best area for cavalry to move.
But unfortunately, the Greater Xing'an Mountains blocked the East-West traffic, and these Cossacks could not pass through this primitive jungle at all.
If the road to the west is not clear, you can only go around the Heilongjiang River Basin. It is also a relatively suitable crossing area in the upper reaches of Aihui City, Mohe, Anluo, Kumar City, etc., but the Cossacks are absolutely not allowed to go back. On the one hand, there is not enough time, but on the other hand, it is also because even if you cross the river there, it will be Qing in the mainland. Bypassing the mountains, rivers and waters, it may be possible to determine how many ambush circles will be placed in Hunchun.
Only to go east and look for a breakthrough all the way east, Kirill, Kolfin, Zai... and other town ferries were all destroyed by Hunchun. The exhausted Cossack could only find the final breakthrough, which was the Songhua River estuary where Gogol had transited before.
The reality is really cruel. After the Pioneer Camp arrived at the y-shaped Songhua River estuary, the crisscrossing farmlands had been waiting for them here. It seemed that the ice surfaces had been destroyed for several days. The chiseled ice trough was covered with black soil and charcoal. After several days of absorbing heat, many areas were about to melt.
Not to mention cavalry, even a child is very dangerous to go on ice at this moment.
"God! Isn't Hunchun a mutiny? Why is he so efficient? Is there no direct lineage of Tepxin in the entire Jiangfang soldiers?"
Fajev cursed. In his mind, such a large-scale mutiny was difficult to stabilize the situation in a short period of time. The administrative system of a province wanted to command orders from head to toe, and there were countless links needed. Where can Hunchun have such great ability to control everything within a few days?
However, he underestimated the uniqueness of the Eight Banners Group. This kind of family that connects relatives and friends to friends is connected to friends. Sometimes the internal organizational management depends on the relationship between master and slave and blood relationship between relatives and friends.
The master told the slave a few things, and friends asked for some things, which were often more convenient than taking formal documents. Hunchun's orders did not require the administrative system to order. The middle and senior generals he controlled sent a few private messages with a carrier pigeon and a fast horse, and the efficiency was much faster than taking a normal path.
Moreover, the so-called Tepxin lineage is also a false proposition. The officials in the late Qing Dynasty still pursued interests in their hearts. Unless those high-level officials who were tied to the faction very deeply, most of the other middle and lower-level officials were fence-bearers, and the wind was strong there and it was just that they were going to be over there.
After Tepxin and those deadly hard elements were stewed in Hunchun, the remaining officials and fools would touch the bad intentions.
Fajeev looked at the broken ice surface and looked at the shadowy Qing state-owned plates and checkpoints on the south bank. He could even hear the ridicule of the Qing slaves. Fajeev, who was already exhausted, almost fainted.
When Chekov and Ashavin saw that it was not good, they rushed over to support the commander of the legion. "General, wake up! General, wake up... the army cannot be without you now, you are our backbone!"
"To the east...continue to the east!" Fajeev said in a faint voice, "Go straight to the mouth of the Ussuri River... I can feel that our opponent has arrived, and they are waiting for us in the Ussuri River..."
Heilongjiang flows into the Pacific Ocean from west to east, and the two largest tributaries of Heilongjiang are the Songhua River and the other is the Ussuri River.
The two rivers flowed parallel from south to north into Heilongjiang, and the intersection of the two rivers was only 150 kilometers away. For the cavalry regiment, it was a marching speed that could be said to be coming day and night, but the Cossacks were no longer sharp at this moment.
The troops were tired and all the thin ones were fat. The army walked for two and a half days after a distance of 150 kilometers. When Fajeev saw the familiar triangular Jiangxin Island on the map, a feeling of sadness surged in his heart.
"Is the country's destiny so bad? Why does God punish us like this..." After saying that, his eyes turned dark, and the commander of the Legion fainted from anger.
The intersection of Heilongjiang and Ussuri River is the border decomposition line marked by the Sino-Russia Beijing Treaty. Two big rivers meet here, and the years of silt and sand impacts form a triangular island in the center of the river.
Jiangxin Island is surrounded by river water on three sides. After the two rivers converge, they go north and continue to flow towards the Pacific Ocean at the northeast corner of the island. From here, Heilongjiang has changed its name, and the Amur River is downstream from the northeast corner.
The location here is very important and belongs to the key to the border between the two countries! On the southeast bank of the Amur River, a border town called Habaropka, which is a very important military fortress built by Tsarist Russia. The troops stationed in a regiment also have more than 1,000 Tsarist Russian residents.
But at this moment everything no longer belongs to Tsarist Russia. It seems that Habaropka Town had just experienced war, and there was still blue smoke rising up in the wall, but the flag on the village wall had been replaced by the flag of the Volunteers.
Looking at the huge figures on Jiangxin Island, facing the north is a long defensive position, and countless soldiers are cutting down trees and strengthening fortifications. When they see Cossack cavalry appearing opposite, the shrill horns suddenly resounded through the sky.
"Preparing for war...preparing for war...Rakshasa ghost is here!Rakshasa ghost is here..."
When Xiao Letian and Xiang Shaolong heard the sound of the horn, they immediately ran out of the fortification, took off their telescope and looked at the north shore!
"Grandma, we're finally here! Send a signal flare and send a signal to the guerrilla brothers on the North Bank! Let them do it... I want to see if these Cossacks dare to rush over!"
Bang bang bang bang... The south bank began to launch signal flares into the sky rhythmically, and orange fireworks shone on the sky, and were clearly visible on both sides of the north and south.
Not only that, all the secret intelligence officers who saw this signal took out the fireworks in their arms and started to fire them. People who spread the signal further on the ground also received the Prime Minister's military order.
There are two huge observation balloons on the battlefield, one is fixed on the island in the heart of the river and the other is fixed on the town of Habaropka. The observation sentry in the sky can clearly see how the fireworks signals spread on the earth.
Jiangxin Island fired the first row of signal flares, followed by the second round of signal flares from intelligence officers and Rangers a circle ten miles away.
Then, the third floor of the signal flare rose up ten miles away, and then forty miles away, fifty miles away, half an hour later, the sound of signal flares within a hundred miles was filled with the explosion, and the whole earth suddenly boiled.
"General! General, wake up quickly... General!" After finally awakening Fajev, the commander of the legion was muddy at this moment.
The soldiers under his command said in horror, "I don't know what the Chinese are doing? They are not attacking, they are constantly calling signal flares into the sky!"
"Run after ring, keep firing..."
"General! General is not good... dozens of strange smoke pillars appeared in the north, and it seems that many places are on fire!"
Chapter completed!
