Chapter 942: Snow Dilemma
Stepping on the thick snow, Zhu Sansi trudged through the snowy fields with difficulty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There are no roads in sight, no densely populated villages, just endless forests and empty land.
Despite the help of the Daurs, who were able to find the Daur tribes along the way for supplies under the guidance of Guda, the journey to Yaksa was still difficult.
"Division commander, we found a Tsarist stronghold in front of us, and there were more than sixty Tsarist soldiers in it."
While Zhu Sansi was thinking about it, the scout in charge of reconnaissance brought news.
"Division Commander Zhu, this is the stronghold set up by Tsarist Russia along the way, in order to supply the Tsarist soldiers going south, and there are more than 20 strongholds like this around Yaksa."
Guda knew the situation well, and it was he who reminded the Russians that the stronghold was nearby.
Zhu Sansi displayed the map, marked the location of the strongholds on the map, and said: "If Guda is not wrong, these strongholds serve as post stations and supplies, in order to provide the previous supplies of Nebuchu, Yaksa, and Morgan, if so, we should now clear the surrounding strongholds and turn Yaksa into an isolated city." ”
Gao Yingfeng nodded, now he has put away his impetuous heart and fulfilled this task steadfastly, the cold and the combat effectiveness of the Tsarist Russians in the cold make him dare not underestimate the enemy now.
Because there were already soldiers sick from the cold during the march in the past few days, they now just wanted to occupy Yaksa as soon as possible and sleep in a warm room.
"Division commander, I suggest that we divide our troops now and uproot these strongholds as soon as possible, there are not many soldiers in Yaksa, and our number is enough." Gao Yingfeng suggested.
"I also think so, it may not be a good thing for these more than 10,000 people to gather together, from now on to conquer nearby strongholds in regiments." Zhu Sansi gave the order.
According to various intelligence, Tsarist Russia was not very strong in these places, Nebuchu and Yaksa were only two cities within the border of the Great Chongqing State in the past, and Tsarist Russia still had many colonies scattered in the vast Siberian snowfields east of the Ural Mountains.
According to his understanding, the area of the Siberian snowfields has reached an astonishing area of more than 12 million square kilometers, which is more than twice the size of the current land of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.
The 700,000 immigrants of Tsarist Russia were distributed over such a huge land, so Nebuchu and Yaksa were mainly used as military outposts to serve the southern invasion of Tsarist Russia.
Thinking that this is the case, he can do a lot of things with superior forces.
Receiving the order, Gao Yingfeng immediately led a regiment of soldiers forward, climbed over a hill, and on the way they must advance, they saw the Tsarist stronghold below.
This stronghold is enclosed by a neat wooden fence, inside which is a circular field about two hundred meters in diameter, with seven or eight meters high wooden watchtowers on the site, and on the north side is a row of wooden houses, in front of which there are many meat drying racks, on which are hung air-dried meat and the fur of bears, deer, and mink.
A bonfire was burning in the middle, and a dozen or so Tsarist soldiers were lazily roasting meat and drinking wine.
A caravan wagon was now parked at the door of the stronghold, and the remaining Russian soldiers kept loading the furs stored in the house into the wagon.
"Hehe, not only do you have food to eat in this stronghold, but you also have a wooden house to sleep in, Second Regiment Leader, take your people to sneak over and take this stronghold for me." Gao Yingfeng said sharply.
"Yes, Brigadier." A man with a strong back replied in a suppressed voice, and then, with a wave of his hand, beckoned the soldiers to descend from the hill, and under the cover of the woods, they continued to approach the stronghold of Tsarist Russia.
Gao Yingfeng followed, they did not rush to attack, but completely surrounded the entire stronghold in a detour with superior forces.
After completing the encirclement, Gao Yingfeng called the sharpshooter in the army and asked him to kill the sentries on the watchtower, so as not to be exposed during the attack.
"Bang......!"
With a single gunshot, the sentry on the watchtower fell to the sound of the marksman's gunfire.
At this time, Gao Yingfeng led the soldiers to attack from the front, and suddenly the gunfire was loud.
The sound of gunfire also alarmed the Russians, who, ignoring the immediate deal, picked up their firearms and looked for obstacles to return fire.
Because of the frontal threat, the Russians all gathered in front, and at this time the soldiers who went around sneaked into the stronghold.
The Russians didn't know anything about this, and while they were fighting, suddenly a burst of gunfire rang out behind them, and before they could react, the Russians fell one after another.
The gunfire stopped, and Gao swaggered into the stronghold, although they had the advantage in numbers, but he did not take a reckless attack, everything was focused on reducing casualties.
"You go back and report to the division commander, and you will say that everything is going well and you can move forward." Gao Yingfeng said to the soldiers beside him.
The soldiers left, and after a while, Zhu Sansi arrived at the stronghold.
Nodding slightly, he said, "There are still many strongholds like this, without further ado, you and the Daur guides, and clear the strongholds around Yaksa as soon as possible." “
Having received orders, the officers who entered the stronghold counted their numbers, distributed the bacon in the stronghold to the soldiers, and then continued their journey north.
Zhu Sansi watched the soldiers leave, and then said to Gao Yingfeng: "The Russians have chosen a good stronghold, now this is ours, you choose some soldiers to stay, and transform this place into a post station, first, to provide us with supplies, and second, to allow us to contact Jianzhou." ”
Gao Yingfeng nodded and sighed, "What is the use of this bitter cold place? If you need fur, you can exchange the industrial products of the Great Chongqing Kingdom. ”
"You know!" Zhu Sansi glared at Gao Yingfeng fiercely, since entering the snow field, many soldiers now have this idea, he said: "The land can't be let go of an inch, this is a bitter cold land, but it is also the land of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, in addition, after taking Yaksa, we will continue to advance north, you must understand that land is a resource, what we are doing now is to seek a foundation for future generations, if it is all your kind of thinking, this place will eventually be occupied by Tsarist Russia." ”
"Isn't it enough to destroy Tsarist Russia." Gao Yingfeng said with some grievances.
Zhu Sansi couldn't wait to give Gao Yingfeng a slap, this kid sometimes just doesn't like to use his brain, he said: "It takes at least more than 10,000 miles to get from here to Moscow, how can you fight such a long supply line?" ”
Gao Yingfeng sighed for a moment, and suddenly stopped talking.
Zhu Sansi also sighed, and he said: "I only hope that the emperor can build the railway here, otherwise this is really an uncontrollable place."
"But if you want to build the Trans-Siberian Railway, I'm afraid it won't be completed in more than ten years." Gao Yingfeng poured another basin of cold water.
