Chapter 184: Breaking the Far Eastern Army

Thundered!

There was a loud bang on the Trans-Siberian Railway, which connects Tsarist Russia with Europe and the Far East. A 100-meter-long stretch of railroad track flies into the air. I don't know what kind of force was able to bury so much explosives that it blew up a hundred meters of railway embankment.

The railway patrol of Tsarist Russia was not unpleasant, you must know that this communication artery connecting the East and the West was built under the auspices of the Tsar before he ascended the throne. There has also been a lot of maintenance over the years. The patrol guards are also more diligent. Who knew that a large amount of explosives would be buried unknowingly, and now the entire roadbed has been blown up at once. How much explosives do you need!

The 100-meter railway, even if the railway workers rush to work repeatedly, will not be able to open to traffic again in a month. You know, this is the main road to maintain the traffic between the east and the west, and what a serious consequence it will be if it cannot be opened to traffic for a month. The Minister of Railways was afraid for a while when he thought about it, and it didn't matter what forces were moving at this time. Importantly, the empire now badly needed this railway to transport troops. After such a fateful event, the Minister of Railways can think of his own bleak fate in the future.

The Minister of Railway Inspection did not dare to slack off and quickly reported the matter on the Trans-Siberian Railway to the Moscow headquarters. At the same time, the trains traveling on the entire railway are notified to stop at the station immediately. Wait for the railway to be refurbished. If the train does derail, the responsibility is even greater.

The military columns carrying the Mongol dispatch of the Russian Far Eastern Army also had to stop at the nearest place. Now they have been on the railway for several hours, and the small station where they stop is still a few dozen kilometers from the Mongolian border. If the Mongol army abandoned the train and marched on foot, there would be no five days to rush to the Kulen area.

When the Mongol dispatch army informed this information to the Mongol Cossack cavalry army. In the face of the advancing Northeast Security Army, Lieutenant General Glezhnev had to choose to continue to retreat north. Seeing that the Mongolian border was getting closer and closer, the sorrow on Lieutenant General Glezhnev's face became deeper and deeper. He had the intention of carrying out a blockade, not seeking to defeat the Northeast Security Army, but at least to maintain an occupied area in the Mongolian steppe, as a bridgehead for the imperial reinforcements to counterattack the Northeast Security Army.

But now reinforcements are far away, and the enemy is closing in again. And the total number of troops is five times that of its own. Lieutenant General Glezhnev really did not have the confidence to resist.

"Mr. Lieutenant General, we can't retreat anymore. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get out of the Mongolian steppes and then want to get in. The 8th Jebtsundamba looked at Lieutenant General Glezhnev dryly. Hopefully he'll be able to stop it on the spot. At the very least, you can't be kicked out of the border!

"The Living Buddha of Bokdoggan. Things are not as simple as you think, not to mention that the total strength of the enemy is five times that of ours, and they use migratory vehicles as a barrier, so it is difficult for cavalry to charge to be of general use. And they also have a staggering number of heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and mortars, and they attack rashly, just asking for their own death. Lieutenant General Glezhnev said dissatisfied. It's all this big bald head in front of me. If he hadn't invited the Empire to send troops to support, he wouldn't have been unlucky enough to be sent to this prairie. Such a humiliating thing as being defeated by Asian troops will not fall on you either.

Had it not been for the Tsar's request that he guarantee the life of the 8th Jebtsundamba in any case, Lieutenant General Glezhnev would have thrown this big trouble away long ago. Because the Tsar wanted the whole of Outer Mongolia, he needed the spiritual leader of the Living Buddha as a puppet to provide a buffer time for Tsarist Russia to annex Outer Mongolia.

"However, I must not leave the Mongolian steppe, otherwise Feng Yong will definitely use strong means against my followers, I will stay here and lead my followers to resist the violent rule of the Northeast." The Living Buddha said with a holy face. Lieutenant General Glezhnev was greatly despised. Reluctant to give up your followers? Fool it! You are reluctant to give up your noble position in the Mongolian steppes. Of course, now the two of them are grasshoppers on a rope, although the Living Buddha Guards suffered a lot of losses when they attacked the four major khans, but there are still nearly 2,000 elites in a hundred battles, and their combat effectiveness, even Lieutenant General Glezhnev dare not underestimate them. If he really provokes the Living Buddha, God knows if he will also rebel like the Four Great Khans. Lieutenant General Glezhnev now has a serious lack of trust in yellow-skinned Asians.

Heilongjiang border in the north, headquarters of the Northeast Military Region.

"Sir, what do you mean by this? The momentum is coming, and they are stationed at the border and do not move, do they have any conspiracy? Liu Hei looked at the telegram in his hand and said.

Feng Delin couldn't guess either. Because more than ten years ago, the Russians' combat style was very resolute. It's even more inclined to go head-to-head. Because of the serfdom system in Russia, the life of serfs was extremely poor, and the vast majority of serfs were struggling to survive. In this case, being a soldier has become a good way out, although being a soldier in Russia cannot be added to the rank of knight, and the military salary is even lower, but at least being a soldier can still have enough to eat, which is better than being tired and tired at home and still not having enough to eat.

"Marshal, why don't we launch a few tentative attacks?" Political Commissar Liu Shan suggested. Liu Hei was greatly moved, although the Northeast Military Region had been stationed at the border for a long time, and he had fought with small groups of soldiers of the Russians many times. But there were no large-scale battles. This time, the Russian Far East Army 50,000 people attacked, and unlike other people who were nervous, Liu Hei was very excited, although one-third of his Northeast Military Region was currently considered a new recruit, but he never thought that the strength of the Northeast Military Region was inferior to the Russian Far East Army. Get a glimpse of the full picture. With a small unit of the Far Eastern Army as the object of training, if the Northeast and the Far Eastern Army go to war, the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Military Region will definitely exceed everyone's imagination.

"This ......" Feng Delin hesitated, although he had long wanted to use the army to compete with the Russians, but he might not be able to afford the danger of an all-out war with a power like Russia.

"Report to the marshal, the commander, the commissar. The young marshal is in a hurry! ”

"Read!" Feng Delin said majestically.

"The Northeast Military District was ordered to cross the border at night and launch an all-out offensive against the Russian Far Eastern Army, regardless of the outcome, and return to the garrison after dawn. It is important to note that no matter what the results are achieved, they must not be made public. ”

"Silenced?" Feng Delin, Liu Hei, and Liu Shan didn't understand why the young marshal did this. You must know that if you cross the river and win the battle, it will be a matter of great morale, and the victorious side will not be quiet, and the defeated Russians will certainly not admit it.

"Got it, send a report to Changchun, our department will launch an attack at dark tonight, and return at dawn, no matter what the results are, they will not make a noise." Feng Delin said in a deep voice. Although he didn't know what medicine Feng Yong was selling in the gourd, he knew that Feng Yong was not a person with no purpose, and he must have his own reasons for doing so.

The sun is slanting in the west, the whole Heilongjiang river is surging, now is the most flooded period of the entire Heilongjiang River, Heilongjiang as the largest river in the northeast, and now finally has some natural danger momentum. The sun has put away its last rays, and the land of the northeast is full of life and begins to enter the night. At this time, inside the Northeast Military Region, groups of soldiers were ready to go, and the first to act was the engineering regiment carrying the pontoon equipment. The engineering regiment in this part of the Northeast is different from other places, after all, the Northeast is very cold, and the rivers are frozen for eight months of the year.

At this time, because there were no tanks and other heavy machinery and equipment, the pontoon bridge was relatively simple, after all, even the vehicles transporting supplies were not very heavy. Moreover, the Northeast Military District has long been ready to cross the river into the territory of Russia. Therefore, there is no shortage of equipment for building pontoons.

Although the river in Heilongjiang is still quite turbulent, the Northeast Military Region has been operating here for a period of time after all, and it knows exactly which place is suitable for crossing the river. Therefore, after dark, several black lines gradually extended on the river, and in just one hour, several pontoon bridges connected the north and south of the Heilongjiang River.

Liu Hei did not do any pre-war mobilization, because of the existence of the political commissar system, the morale of the soldiers was very high, and it can be said that they were eager to fight. This is also a benefit of the commissar system, where the commander issues orders, and the commissar instructors at all levels can convey them to the fighters and then agitate. The morale of the fighters, of course, was high.

"Commander, in front of you is the battalion of the Far Eastern Army." The reconnaissance battalion commander said in Liu Hei's ear.

With the help of the starlight, Liu Hei's face gradually showed a hideous look, no matter how strong the Russians' combat effectiveness was, it would be good to be able to exert half of the combat effectiveness of the sudden attack on the battalion.

"Order the soldiers to wrap white towels around their arms, wait until the trumpet sounds, and then attack with all their might." A look of excitement flashed in Liu Hei's eyes. 50,000 enemies, moreover, the armies of the Western powers. Playing against such a team, Liu Hei was excited when he thought about it.

The commander of the Russian ** team stationed on the bank of the Heilongjiang River is named Petrych, he was originally the captain of the guard of the Far Eastern Governor's Palace, and some time ago the governor suddenly ordered a thorough investigation of the Far Eastern Army, and the result was that the former commander of the Far Eastern Army was removed from his post and investigated, a large number of officers were implicated, the commander of the Far Eastern Army was taken down, and the entire Far Eastern Army was suddenly leaderless. Later, the Governor-General of the Far East promoted a lieutenant general in the Far Eastern Bureau to the post of temporary commander of the Far Eastern Army. Later, the Far Eastern Army was divided into two, and the new commander of the army, Vryuev, led the main force west into Mongolia to support the Mongolian cavalry army. The remaining half of the army, the governor of Siberia handed him over to the captain of his own personal guard, Petrech.

Although Petrech was not of high origin, he was with the governor of Siberia for a long time. There is a lot of arrogance in the body. Although he has always served as the captain of the personal guard of the governor of Siberia, he is also a powerful man. But for the command of the army, his ability is not flattering. After all, leading a personal guard of 100 people and leading an army of tens of thousands of people are completely different concepts. But Petreich did not think in the slightest that he was incapable of leading troops into battle. And the task he accepted was only to hold the Heilongjiang defense line, and he didn't need to cross the river and start a war with the Northeast, as for the Northeast would cross the river to attack him? No kidding. Although the Northeast dared to compete with Russia on the grassland, it was because they occupied the name of righteousness, but now the north of Heilongjiang is the territory of Tsarist Russia, and they did not dare to attack it if they lent ten guts to the Northeast. This is also the reason why the Russian battalion is empty.

Unfortunately, the Northeast Security Army is a contingent full of accidents, and they have never lacked the courage to go to war with the foreign powers. In a situation that did not come to the fore of the Northeast, the Northeast launched an all-out offensive.

When the blazing trumpet sounded, Petreich thought it was a disobedient child blowing the trumpet near the barracks. But when the fierce gunfire rang out, Petrich's mind was a little unresponsive. On the lands of the empire, someone dared to launch an offensive against the great Russian army. If someone had told him that before, he would have scoffed, but when it really happened, Petrech panicked.

He hurriedly grabbed the rifle on the ground and shouted for the guards around him to assemble.

Unfortunately, at this time, the army in the northeast had already entered the camp. The morale of the Northeast Security Army was high against the panicked Russian soldiers, and the battlefield turned into a one-sided massacre.

Although the Russian soldiers were serfs, they never lacked the courage to charge, they were born with a strong physique, and when they charged, they were a fierce mess. It's a pity that no matter how fierce the body is, it can't withstand the blow of the bullet. To the surprise of the soldiers of the Northeast Security Army, even if the soldiers had already entered the camp of the Far Eastern Army. Resistance within the Russian army is still sparse. This situation is so weird. As the elite of the Russian army in the Far East, no matter how loose their discipline is, it should not be such a reflection!

Bang Bang ...... Fierce gunfire came from the central camp of the Russian army, and it was all the gunfire of the new Russian rifle, the Mosin Nagant rifle.

"Good fellow, I'll say it! How come the huge battalion of Tsarist Russia does not have the strength to fight back, but the scale of this resistance is too small! How could gunfire be so sparse elsewhere. This kind of result in front of him was something Liu Hei couldn't have imagined.

"Commander, Commander! Bomb the camp. The enemy has bombed the camp! The herald ran back excitedly.

"What! Great, order all reserves to attack, capture prisoners, and kill those who dare to resist. Liu Hei was a little surprised that victory came so easily, but Feng Yong's order was not to let them occupy Russian land, but to destroy the enemy's living forces as much as possible. And the best way to destroy the enemy is to capture all the enemy soldiers and get them back to the northeast to work as coolies. Anyway, infrastructure is being built everywhere in the Northeast now, and labor is needed everywhere.

The dark night provided the best cover for the sneak attack of the Northeast Security Army, but it also became the biggest obstacle for the Northeast Security Army to capture prisoners, because with the order to return at dawn, it was difficult for the scattered Russian soldiers to hide in the dark place and find him.

At the moment when the Russian army bombed the camp, Weilyuev knew that something was wrong. For the sake of his own life, he did not care about the lives of other soldiers and the governor's entrustment. quickly escaped with his personal guards. The deep darkness of the night provided good cover for the escape of their small force. In addition, the Northeast Security Army did not penetrate too deep into the territory of Russia. As a result, about 10,000 Russian soldiers escaped for their lives.
