Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Several other Russian soldiers were subdued one after another. Zhu Ba, a Chinese soldier who could speak Russian, stepped forward and asked, "How many people are there in Orlov's army?"

The Russian soldier said stiffly: "I don't know, you'd better let me go, and we can spare your life when we reach Beijing."

Liu Qiang said coldly: "Kill it."

Zhu Ba smiled cruelly, two soldiers stepped forward to hold down the Russian soldier, while he himself covered the mouth of the Russian soldier with one hand, and took out a dagger with the other hand, the back of the dagger has teeth, quite on a small saw.

Zhu Ba put the dagger on the Russian soldier's neck and measured it. Under the terrified eyes of several other Russian soldiers, he pulled it with concentration. Zhu Ba stuck out his tongue, licked it, and continued to execute.The Russian soldier kept twitching, and after a while, the dead leaves on the ground were dyed red, but he was still alive.

Zhu Bala came over to another soldier and said, "Do you know the answer?"

The Russian soldier's legs were shaking, and he replied in a trembling voice: "I, I know, there are soldiers from a brigade led by General Orlov in front, and some other cavalry. The reconnaissance team is large. There are about 5000 people. .”

"Where are the artillery positions?"

"The left wing four or five miles away from here."

...

Soon Liu Qiang got all the information he wanted to know, and then shut them up forever.

Liu Qiang saw that the sky was slightly bright, and quickly ordered: "Notify the left sentry in the woods, send a wireless telegram, and quickly find the enemy artillery position according to the Russians just now, and then send it back. The middle sentry will continue to investigate the enemy's forward defenses. , The right sentry and I went to the enemy headquarters."

The orderly led the way.

Zhu Ba said excitedly: "Captain, are you going to take us to kill Lao Maozi's senior officials?"

Liu Qiang shook his head and said: "I would joke about the lives of my brothers, but after our army attacked later, we took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, maybe we could run into a dead mouse."

At a place about ten kilometers away from the Russian army's position, countless Chinese soldiers are rushing to prepare for the big battle.

Jiang Zikang and Ma Yukun were in the command post, and the telegraph team was busy inside, sending back news from various units. Soon, a telegraph operator ran up to Jiang Zikang with an excited face and said, "General Jiang, it is Orlo in front of you." The main force of the husband, the reconnaissance team has figured out the position of the enemy artillery."

Jiang Zikang was full of joy, and hurriedly said to the messenger around him: "Quickly send an order to Zhao Ergou and let him do a good job in school shooting."

Jiang Zikang looked at his pocket watch and continued, "In 10 minutes, I'm going to hear the cannon fire."

"Yes"

Ma Yukun was dazzled by seeing that the national defense army actually went to every battalion, and even some reconnaissance teams had wireless telegrams when they arrived. He couldn't help sighing and said, "Ye Shuai is really willing to spend money."

Jiang Zikang Fuxu smiled and said: "Jingshan doesn't have to envy me. Everyone will be a member of the military government in the future. There was news from the capital the day before yesterday that we will be renamed the National Defense Army. At that time, everyone will be the same. You will have what I have."

Yeah?Looking at the gradually brightening sky outside, Ma Yukun thought it might be right to choose the military government.

Hearing the messenger's report, Zhao Ergou got ready, stared at his pocket watch, and the time passed by, then raised his hand and shouted: "Fix the yuan, the artillery team heard it, ready to fire three times!" Shoot the enemy's artillery positions, put"

After giving an order, the sound of "whooping" in the air was endless, and shells fell towards the Russian army's position one after another, kicking off the prelude to the Chinese army's counterattack. .

Volume Two, The Wind and Cloud of the Capital, Chapter [-], The End of the Cossack Cavalry

"General, there are several night watch patrols that haven't returned yet. The reconnaissance team has sent people to look for them, but I still feel the need to report this news to you."

When the news reached Orlov, more than half an hour had passed since the incident happened.

Orlov looked at his infantry commander Antonio, and asked in a deep voice, "Are there any Oroqen and Hezhe villages nearby?"

"General, do you doubt them?"

"Of course, only these mouse-like Chinese, who ride horses with bows and arrows in their hands, dare not confront the soldiers of the empire head-on, and only think about sneaking things all day long, will kill our people quietly."

When I thought of being attacked by these small troops along the way since I entered Hulunbuir, I was not very troubled.

Antonio replied: "Yesterday, the cavalry reconnaissance team did not bring back news that there are Chinese villages nearby."

Orlov slapped the table and said bitterly: "In the future, except for some Chinese to serve the imperial army, all others will be killed."

"Yes, general, but general, our army's logistics can't keep up."

Orlov smiled and said: "Don't worry, we are not far from the Qing people's Yakeshi position, and we have taken the position today. It is estimated that in three to five days, we will be able to hold beautiful women and drink fine wine in Qiqihar. "

Antonio praised: "The general has conquered countless cities along the way, and Wangong, Hulunbeier, and Zaromude all surrendered at your feet. You have made the generals of the Qing Dynasty afraid of confrontation."

Orlov said proudly: "If the rear army couldn't keep up, maybe we can stand on Qiqihar City to watch the sunrise now."

Antonio followed Orlov's gaze, half-closed his eyes, and looked at the sunrise on the horizon.

The sun is getting bigger and bigger, and it has turned black, why is there a piercing whistling sound.

No, it was a shell, and the guard threw them to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, there were endless whining sounds in the air, all of which passed over the heads of several people, and then pointed to the Russian artillery position behind them.

Orlov spit out the mud in his mouth, jumped up, and shouted: "Quickly, order the cavalry to scout forward, find the enemy's artillery position and destroy it, and also,"

Before Orlov finished speaking, there were bursts of explosions behind him. Orlov looked back through the binoculars and saw thick smoke, mud, and flesh mixed together.

The Chinese army poured ammunition into the Russian artillery positions without money, and immediately staged a dance of death.

There was a loud bang, and Orlov only felt the ground under his feet tremble three times. It was over, the artillery depot of the artillery regiment was hit.

Orlov gritted his teeth and ordered: "Despicable Chinese, dare to surprise our army, no matter the Chinese army, the Russian warriors will give them an unforgettable morning, Antonio, you lead your pace The regiment follows the cavalry, remember, don't leave me alive."

"Yes, General." Antonio licked his lips with his tongue excitedly. He thought it was the same as before, and the carnival was about to begin.

Li Chun led a battalion of more than 1000 soldiers to ambush on the high ground on both sides of the road. This road leads to the artillery team of the National Defense Army. With the arrogance of the Russian army, how could they not send people to attack.

The trenches on both sides of the road were covered with weeds, etc., and the Chinese soldiers lay down inside, motionless. The engineering team planted various mines on the slopes some distance away from the trenches to prevent Russia from responding quickly.

Tom, Tom... The hooves of the horses rumbled in a low and continuous manner like thunder, startling the birds and beasts on the roadside in the distance to run around.

Li Chun's face changed slightly. Hearing the voice, there were about six or seven hundred enemy cavalry.

"Machine gun team, quickly form a crossfire on both sides. Wait for the old men to enter the ambush circle, and then shoot after listening to my gunshots."

More than a dozen machine guns pointed at all directions on the road, and the muffled thunder was getting closer and louder. Gradually, on the road, the Chinese soldiers saw dust winding like a dragon.

More than 700 trotting horses made earth-shattering and shocking sounds, and even the ground seemed to be shaken, and the Russian cavalry lined up in three rows rolled forward with loud noises.

Maybe it's because the Cossack cavalry have lived so comfortably in the past ten days, or maybe they didn't pay attention to the Chinese army at all. The more than 700 cavalry didn't have any doubts about the sloping road on both sides, and ran wildly. Then, it quickly plunged into the main road, and the horse's hooves kicked up the dust that covered the sky and spread it around.

The soldiers lurking on both sides watched Lao Maozi step into the ambush circle with wide eyes. Li Chun aimed at a cavalry in front, and with a bang, he hit the cavalry.

Immediately, the rifles and machine guns in the trench opened fire at the same time, and the sound of "thunderbolt..." gunshots rang out.

The Cossack cavalry was quickly knocked down by the bullets that rained down. The horse hit by the bullet raised its front hoof and screamed, and then fell to the ground. The Russian soldier on the horseback was thrown off the horseback, and his face was ashamed. In an instant, the frightened war horses, which were covered in holes from being hit by the rain of bullets, neighed together, and the shrill screams were even more ear-piercing.

Seeing that his army was ambushed, the cavalry captain at the back quickly reined in the reins and carefully checked the terrain. The slopes on both sides of the road were relatively gentle, and the trenches on both sides were only one or two hundred meters away from the road. If you charge, according to past experience, the enemy's firepower can only destroy a small number of cavalry.
