There were more than 6,000 Russian soldiers in Harbin, half of whom were in the hands of Horvat, who were responsible for garrisoning the Middle East Road annex with the governor's palace and the railway station as the core.

There were also tens of thousands of Russian expatriates living in the annexes, and Horvat organized these people to make the number of armed men available to him close to 5,000 men, and with their many years of operation, they built a lot of fortifications, which can be regarded as a hard bone.

In order to be able to successfully take Harbin, the Feng army gathered a total of more than 12,000 troops, of which the main attack task was the middle road brigade of the road protection army, in order to increase the number of troops, Zhang Tinglan drew an artillery regiment and an infantry regiment from Jilin, a cavalry regiment in Heilongjiang, and a part of the troops from the reserve brigade, plus the sniper troops and the Chinese defenders of Harbin, unified and reorganized, forming a powerful attack Liliang.

Carefully calculated, the advantage of the Feng army's strength is not large, only about two to one, especially when there are a large number of city battles in the battle, this advantage is even less obvious.

If the advantage of troops is not obvious, it is very likely that it will suffer the fate of defeat, in fact, Zhang Tinglan also wants to increase some more troops, but the strength of the Feng army is really limited, especially along the long railway, which also greatly disperses the attack force of the Feng army, and it is already very good to ensure this numerical advantage.

Unable to completely overwhelm the Russians in terms of troops, the Feng army can only make up for it through other methods, do the intelligence work carefully, and carefully look for the weaknesses of the Russians.

Sun Anhu and others were still full of confidence in this point, and they drew up a set of combat plans that would be easy first and then difficult. After cutting off the communication of the Russian army, the Feng army divided the Russians and maintained strong pressure on the main force of Horvat, but was not in a hurry to attack.

The main forces were placed outside the city to break through the Russian barracks, where there were also nearly 3,000 troops, and the combat effectiveness was extremely strong among the Russian troops, which should not be underestimated.

In order to be able to take them down, Feng Jun took out all the heavy artillery they were equipped with, a total of twelve 150 mm heavy guns. All aimed at the Russian barracks, and at the first moment of the battle, all the heavy artillery of the Feng army entered the combat position, and then fired wildly at the Russians.

Huge shells smashed into the Russian barracks, and the violent explosions shook the barracks. The Russian army has always been arrogant. The Chinese army was not taken into account at all. Vasily, the commander in charge of the barracks, said that the Chinese army was still in the Middle Ages, just a bunch of peasants with muskets, and had no combat effectiveness to speak of.

Even when Horvat ordered them to prepare for battle, Vasily was still skeptical, unless the Chinese took the wrong medicine, how could they be so crazy. Dare to fight the idea of the Russians.

After the outbreak of the war, the rapid movement of the Feng army completely shocked the Russians, especially the heavy artillery shooting, which became a nightmare for the Russians. The Russian defenders had only 76 mm guns in their hands, and larger caliber artillery was not equipped at all, and now the Feng army used heavy artillery to bombard them, and the Russians could only be beaten passively.

"Bastard!" Vasily burst into a rage and asked loudly: "How did those damn yellow-skinned monkeys get heavy artillery, how could they have such powerful artillery, who sold the artillery to the damned Chinese, I'm going to tear them apart!" ”

The staff officer's face turned pale, and he could only say hesitantly: "Your Excellency, it seems that our Russian side sold them, but in fact, most of the weapons used by the Feng army are Russian standard equipment, and they are ......."

"And?" Vasily's eyes widened and he roared loudly: "What the hell do you want to say?" ”

"The quality of their munitions seems to be even better than ours."

As soon as he heard this, Vasily also completely calmed down, this guy is not stupid, for a long time, the garrisons on the Middle East Road have more or less benefited from the smuggling trade.

Especially Vasily, who is an official, his pockets are even more bulging, when they take the money, they smile happily, they didn't expect that there will be today's situation, the Feng army uses the weapons obtained from them, and turns around to beat them, is there such a ridiculous thing in this world!

Vasily was about to go crazy, and while he was thinking about countermeasures, a violent explosion suddenly sounded outside, the sound was like thunder, and the inside of the command room below crackled and fell dirt, and Vasily couldn't sit still at all.

"The Russian warriors can't be beaten passively like this, we have to fight back and kill those yellow-skinned monkeys!"

Vasily ordered the Russian soldiers to continue to hold the barracks, and then he concentrated the cavalry of more than 500 people, these cavalry were the famous Cossacks, and in the European theater, the cavalry had begun to be eliminated, but Vasily still had blind faith in these Cossacks, and regarded them as the key to breaking the stalemate.

"Brave cavalry brothers, I order you to charge those lowly Chinese, and with your sabers, cut off their heads one by one, especially their artillery positions, which must be destroyed as quickly as possible."

Just when Vasily launched the mobilization, the shelling of the Feng army increased a lot, and the Russian-made 122-mm guns were also added to it, and the dense shells were like plows in the fields, according to this trend, as long as there were a few more rounds, the Russian soldiers would suffer unbearable losses even if they were lucky enough not to die.

The cavalry attack was already imperative, and soon the Cossacks, riding on tall horses, came around from the rear of the barracks, and aimed their aim in the direction of the artillery bombardment of the Feng army.

For thousands of years, the cavalry has been like this, relying on its strength and agility, it has become the dominant force on the battlefield, and the powerful cavalry can cross thousands of miles, destroy countless countries, lose the cavalry, lose the production of war horses, and even cause the weakening of an empire to perish.

The Cossacks were the best of the cavalry, and their reputation was known to everyone in Europe, and they were the sharpest saber in the hands of the Tsar.

Although in the battle with Germany, the prestige of the Cossacks was gone, but in the Far East, they were still rampant, and it was their honor that the cowardly Chinese could die at the hands of the glorious Cossacks.

The tall Don hippos, carrying the vicious Cossack cavalry, rushed in the direction of the Fengjun position, and their speed was very alarming, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly reduced.

Sun Anhu, who was in charge of commanding the battle, saw that the Russians had dispatched cavalry, and a sneer appeared on his face, if it was another branch of the army, the Feng army might still be afraid of one or two, but the threat of cavalry was too limited. Since the Feng army was heavily equipped with machine guns, they had never been afraid of cavalry, no matter who they were, as long as they were still fighting on horses, they were a bunch of live targets.

The Cossacks were getting closer and closer, and the first thing that greeted them was the 82-mm mortars of the Feng army, since they were able to produce mortars, Zhang Tinglan spared no effort to increase production, and Sun Anhu's troops were already equipped with a large number of mortars.

The mortars, which were relatively light and dexterous, and very powerful, played an unparalleled advantage in the battle, and these Cossack cavalry came within a thousand meters and were taken care of by the mortars.

The shells shattered, scattering the monoliths like throwing knives, and with great speed, easily slicing through the Cossacks' bodies, and of course their horses, the steel chopped flesh and blood, the blood vessels were severed, the bones and muscles were destroyed, and the blood flowed from their bodies, and with it, all the strength.

More and more Cossacks fell on the way to the charge, these guys came to China from Russia, and regarded this rich land as their paradise, they acted wantonly, more presumptuous than at home, how many Chinese women were ruined by them, how much wealth was robbed by them, these people are unscrupulous beasts, and the Chinese people have long hated them.

And by this time, it was time for them to pay for their crimes, and under the intensive shelling of mortars, the Cossack cavalry had already paid hundreds of sacrifices. However, these brave fellows are still gambling, as long as they can get close to the Feng army, they can rely on their bravery to achieve victory.

The distance was finally getting closer and closer, and at this time they ran into another butcher's knife, and all the light and heavy machine guns of the Feng army opened fire together, and the bullets rained down like a torrential rain, and in an instant the Cossacks who rushed to the front were sieveed, and the filthy corpses were all over the ground.

The dense procession finally became sparse, and a large number of Cossacks fell to the ground, and the sound of cries and shouts was so terrible that those who were alive felt the fear welling up from the bottom of their hearts.

At this time, these Cossacks understood a truth, in the face of bullets, all people are equal, as long as one is hit, they will die the same, and like all lowly lives, there is nothing special.

The remaining Cossacks finally came to their senses, they turned their horses' heads and tried to escape, but by this time it was completely too late, they fell into the layers of fire of the Feng army, and it was impossible to escape, and more than 500 Cossacks died under the city of Harbin.

The Russian commander, Major General Vasily, had pinned his hopes on these heroic Cossacks, but seeing that these people were not wiped out and the corpses were piled up on the road of the charge, his heart was completely cold, not that the Cossacks were not heroic, but that the firepower of the Feng army was too strong.

And the most unacceptable thing for him is that these firepower originally belonged to the Russians, which is called lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, Vasily repented at this time, but what is the use of this, after eliminating the cavalry, the soldiers of the Feng army finally rushed towards the Russians under the cover of artillery fire, Vasily could only barely command the remnants of the defeated generals to resist.
