Chapter 433: A Hundred Miles of Advice Locking the Mudanjiang River

Heilongjiang, Zhang Yihu shook his head, he could finally rest for a while, since he arrived in Heilongjiang, it has only been seven days, and he has fought four or five battles with the Russian army, and now the first division plus the sixth division and the Zhenbian Army, there are more than 20,000 people in total, especially the sixth division and the Zhenbian Army, the casualties are too heavy, together with the division commander Zhao Shixiao have been seriously injured, and returned to Qiqihar to recuperate, the Russian army on the opposite side launched more than 70,000 people, and the troops were divided into three routes, Harbin, Mudanjiang and Jiamusi were only surrounded, Zhang Yihu was facing too much pressure. --

Fortunately, he just received a telegram from Sheng Jing, Zhang Yi and Xu Huaijin have 'drawn' the cavalry division, the second division and an independent regiment, all of which rushed to help Heilongjiang, otherwise, he is really difficult to support, and now he, the first division, the sixth division, and the military on the edge of the town are deployed in a zigzag shape to support each other, so as to withstand the onslaught of the Russian army again and again, if there are no reinforcements, it is estimated that it will not last many days.

Zhang Yihu looked at the telegram sent by Zhang Yi, he had read it seven or eight times, and howled excitedly, with the help of the second division and the cavalry division, would he still be afraid of the Russian army? Will you fight so hard?

This is all the main force of the 'elite', see how Lao Tzu cleans up this group of big noses! Now Lao Tzu's army is close to 60,000, although it is still inferior to the Russian army, but the difference is not much, enough to defeat them by himself!

Now the train from Shengjing to Harbin has been fully opened, and together with two divisions and a reinforced regiment, it has completely arrived in Harbin in just three or four days.

Zhang Yihu approached the command post, exchanged pleasantries, and sat down at the conference table, and now the commander of the Sixth Division, Zhao Shixiao, was seriously injured and could not take care of things, and the entire Sixth Division was 'handed over' to the chief of staff Feng He.

Zhang Yihu said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will first tell you about the current strategic situation between China and Russia, and then you will talk about your views on the current battlefield. First of all, now Tsarist Russia has gathered 100,000 troops in the Far East, and now the army that has entered Heilongjiang has reached 80,000 people, distributed in Datong County, which is two hundred miles east of Jiamusi, Mudanjiang and Harbin, of which there are 20,000 Russian troops in Jiamusi, 20,000 troops in Mudanjiang, and Datong County currently has nearly 40,000 Russian troops. We don't have the slightest chance to start, and our two divisions are not enough to give people a tooth sacrifice. Now the first division still has 12,000 troops, the sixth division still has 8,000 troops, and as for the Zhenbian army, there are only 4,000 people now, and the disparity in strength is huge. Let's talk about it, how do we fight this battle? ”

Everyone fell silent, this battle is too difficult to fight, Kuropatkin is sitting in the center of Datong County, more than 40,000 troops are pressing, it is difficult to gnaw at all, and the Mudanjiang Russian army and the Jiamusi Russian army on both wings, how far away is it from Datong County, they can support each other at any time, and now the Russian army is waiting for the Qing army to go up and meet them.

Jiang Baili, who was sitting at the back, said: "Commander, I have a suggestion, I don't know if it will work out. ”

Zhang Yihu raised his eyes and looked over, only to see three young people sitting there, too young, they should not be twenty years old, Zhang Yihu frowned, and said in his heart, when the instructor led the party, he was just twenty years old, and we already thought that he was a genius in the sky, how could these people be more powerful than the instructor, he just listened to which handsome guy next to him introduced it, and the other two didn't even introduce what it was called.

Zhang Yihu said: "Brother, what do you call it, what position is it now?" ”

Jiang Baili stood up and replied, "Report, commander, we are an independent regiment composed of students from the Fengtian Martial Arts Academy, and I am Jiang Baili, the chief of staff of the independent regiment!" ”

Zhang Yihu was shocked in his heart, this independent group turned out to be all students of the Martial Arts Academy! It seems that this time the instructor is really out of the way, he, who cherishes talents the most, is willing to let these students form an army alone, if this is a cannonball smashed into it, the loss will be the future officers.

Zhang Yihu said with a smile: "Since the little brother has something to say, then you can talk about it!" ”

Jiang Baili was not frightened, and said loudly: "Commander, I think the biggest leak 'hole' of the Russian army is in the Mudanjiang River in the south, Mudanjiang is almost three hundred miles away from the Russian army in Datong County, and it will take at least three days to be able to Mudanjiang, if we deploy an army on the road to intercept it, we can get at least four days or more, so that we can besiege the Russian army in Mudanjiang, now we have four divisions and forty or fifty thousand people here, and it should be feasible to eat them in the Mudanjiang region." ”

Zhang Yihu said: "But don't forget, it is impossible for us to use so many troops to besiege the Russian army in Mudanjiang, in this case, Jiamusi and Harbin will be completely empty, and it will be difficult to defend at all." ”

Jiang Baili replied: "First of all, we don't need to use too many troops, isn't the Mudanjiang River close to Jilin, let's ask the Zhenbian army in Jilin to help, we have two divisions here to participate, enough to eat the Russian army there, even if he can't eat it, it will make him suffer a lot of vitality; Second, I don't think we can stretch our direction too far, we can choose to abandon Jiamusi and hold on to the two central cities of Harbin and Qiqihar, so that we can mobilize more troops. ”

Zhang Yihu's face turned dark, and he said angrily: "Confused, if we give up Jiamusi, then the opponent's forces will be more concentrated, and we can directly attack Harbin, can we withstand it?" ”

Jiang Baili's face was stunned, and he immediately said: "Okay, commander, even if our deployment in the three directions remains unchanged, I think that if we want to change the current situation, there is only one weak link in Mudanjiang that can be exploited." ”

Zhang Yihu pondered for a moment and said: "What you said is not completely unreasonable, at least the idea of attacking Mudanjiang is very good, young man, there is a future, damn, I don't know, when did a talent like you emerge in the Martial Arts Academy, I knew this, and I would have entered the first division earlier!" ”

Tang Keqiang on the side smiled bitterly: "Yihu, don't you know the three of them?" Zhang Yihu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What, are the three of them famous, I want to know the three of them?" Tang Keqiang smiled and said: "You, the three of them, but now the three heroes of the Famous Zhen Martial Arts Academy, they were directly recommended by the general to enter the school, and they were even more of a character who was given an exception to enter the intermediate command class by Cliff's wood!" You don't even know about them, and you don't want to think that if you don't have two brushes, the general can directly order them to form an independent regiment of the Martial Arts Academy? ”
