Although Li Zhuangyong was not very excited about this victory, he thought that he was really a little invincible in beating the opponent's company with the strength of a regiment. But three days later, Liu Tie led the team to Fuyuan, and still highly praised Li Zhuangyong's performance.

In fact, in this season, to be able to smoothly bring the army out of 300 kilometers away to fight, this is already quite an outstanding performance, as for fighting more and less, in Liu Tie's opinion, it is not a matter at all, who said that the war can not be fought with more and less, and can crush the opponent with an absolute superiority of troops, then it is called a capable man. Moreover, as a high-ranking officer of the People's Army, Liu Tie is very clear about the current situation, and the Far East War has come to an end, which can be seen from the name of this war.

Of course, taking Fuyuan is only the first step in this battle, and the next thing is the main target of this dispatch - Boli.

Boli, the Russian name is Khabarovsk, located in the Heilongjiang River, the east bank of the Ussuri River confluence, and Fuyuan across the river, originally belonged to the Qing court's territory, in 1860 in the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing, ceded to Russia, and in the 17th century, the leader of the Russian invasion of Heilongjiang, Russia called it the name of the explorer Khabarov. Because Boli is the confluence of two large rivers in the northeast, it can hold the mouth of the two rivers, and its geographical location is very advantageous, it can reach the Sea of Japan by land to the south, and the Amur River waterway to the Sea of Okhotsk to the east, so it is an important city of Russia in the Far East and the main node on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

The People's Army rested in Fuyuan for 3 days, and Liu Tie led the 1st Division to Boli, because the Russian army only had 2 battalions in total, and it was more than enough to dispatch a division to deal with them. Since Fuyuan is only about 60 kilometers away from Boli, it can travel on the frozen river surface all the way, first from the Ussuri River into the Heilongjiang River, which is called the Amur River in Russia, and can be reached. This is very conducive to the movement of the KPA march, which is fully equipped with skis and sleds. Therefore, it took only one day for the KPA to reach the front of Boli City.

After decades of immigration and management, it is now a city with a population of more than 100,000 people, including more than 20 towns in total, and has built a European-style fortress and a large number of forts around it.

The news of the loss of Fuyuan had reached Boli, and the defending general, Major Makavich, was also very shocked, because he really did not expect that the KPA would launch an attack on the Russian army in such an extremely harsh climate. In fact, Boli's fortifications are not badly built, after all, the location of the calendar here is too important, and it is the location of the border between China and Russia, but the current defenders are too few, only 1 battalion, about 500 people, how to arrange it is not enough, and in such bad weather, the open-air batteries are covered with ice and snow, of course, even if there is no ice and snow, the forts can not be used, because there is no artillery, most of Boli's artillery has long been taken away by the Russian army, and there are not a few left for Boli. Moreover, with the strength of the present right Boli, it is not enough to send troops to guard the fort.

Although Major Makavich immediately sent a distress telegram to Chita, he himself did not have any hope for reinforcements, because Boli was too far away from Chita, more than 1,000 kilometers, even if it was by train, it would take 2 days, plus the time to organize the army, materials, etc., it would take at least 10 days to reach Boli, and this was still on the premise that Chita had enough spare strength to reinforce Boli, and now Chita is also facing pressure from the People's Army, and I am afraid that there will not be many troops to reinforce Boli.

Sure enough, on the third day of the telegram, Major Makavich received a call back from Chita, telling him that Chita was now also facing a threat from the KPA, so he had no ability to reinforce Boli, so he had to let the major find a way on his own. Finally, I said that God may be with you.

This result was also in Makavich's expectations, so he was not too disappointed, and despite the limited strength at hand, Major Makavich still tried his best to arrange Boli's defense, and the batteries outside the fortress could only be given up and concentrated to defend the fortress, fortunately, now the batteries are covered with ice and snow, even if the Russian army gives up, the People's Army will not use it, and Makavich also believes that in such a climate, the people can already kill Boli It is already very good, it is basically impossible to carry a large number of artillery, if the Russian army can rely on a strong fortress to defend, there is still a chance to keep Boli, Bi Jing in such a harsh climateIt is impossible for the KPA to besiege Boli for a long time.

The Hanging People's Army obviously didn't want to entangle too much with the Russian army, the climate in Bijing was too bad, and it didn't matter much if it was carried out by the army, but it was not easy to camp in the wilderness, so it was best to capture Boli as soon as possible and spend the night in the town.

So the KPA only rested for one night, and on the second day launched an attack on Boli, starting with an artillery bombardment of Boli, of course, and the KPA artillery units set up mortars and launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the city.

Although the Russian army gave up the fort outside the fortress, but Bijing also has a fully enclosed fortress with a stone structure as the main body, for such fortifications, 60 mortars are basically useless, only 80, 100 caliber mortars can cause a certain amount of damage to such a fortress, by its 100 mortar power, the lethality is still considerable.

The People's Army's 80 and 100 caliber mortars totaled more than 100, all of which were activated, and their power was also quite amazing, so for a while, shells rained down on the Russian fortress, and the dense and uninterrupted explosions almost completely covered the fortress.

Even if it was hiding in a fortress made of thick stones, such a dense artillery fire still made the Russian army in the fortress feel frightened, because the artillery fire was too fierce, and no one thought that the People's Army would be able to carry so many artillery pieces when it launched an attack in this icy and snowy place, how much manpower and material resources would be consumed, and for the sake of the small city of Boli, is it worth such a large capital of the People's Army?

Although the fortress of Boli is mainly made of stone structure, but after all, it is not as strong and thick as some important fortresses, and the fortress of Boli was built almost 40 years ago, coupled with climate factors, the annual temperature difference in this area is very large, the lowest temperature in winter can reach about minus 30 degrees, and the high temperature in summer can rise to more than 30 degrees, so that the alternation of hot and cold, the damage to the masonry is very different, so at this time the fortress has actually been somewhat weathered and dilapidated.

However, despite its location on the Sino-Russian border, due to the incompetence of the Qing court, Boli was never actually threatened militarily, and although the fortress was somewhat weathered and dilapidated, it was largely maintainable, so the Russians had no intention of repairing it. At this time, the evil consequences of the usual negligence will be revealed, although the power of the mortar can not be compared with the field artillery or ** artillery of the same caliber, but the number of shells that fall is more, and the quantitative change causes the qualitative change, and it still has considerable lethality. Moreover, the mortars were all large parabolic slings, so most of the shells hit the top of the fort, and the top was often the weakest point of the fort.

As a result, after the shelling that lasted for 20 minutes, the People's Army fired more than 3,000 shells at the Russian fortress, and blasted 6 or 7 gaps in the top of the fortress, and the side walls of the fortress were also blown up into thousands of holes, uneven, but after all, it was mainly a stone structure, and no side walls were broken through, but it still caused nearly 200 Russian casualties in the fortress.

Liu Tiezhi did not pursue to use mortars to blow up the fortress, and was already very satisfied with such results, so he ordered the People's Army to launch an attack on the fortress, so the commando team of the People's Army launched an attack on the Russian fortress under the cover of mortar and machine gun fire, and the demolition team carried out close blasting of the fortress, and after sacrificing two demolition groups, the third demolition team finally succeeded in blowing up a big gap in the fortress. The assault team immediately entered through the gap and launched a white-knuckle battle with the Russian army. Seeing that the assault team had succeeded, the troops behind also fought their positions and stormed the fortress.

By this time, Major Makavich also knew that the Russian army was gone, but he did not have the determination to live and die with Boli, and immediately ordered a retreat, intending to retreat to the city of Amur first.

The Russian army's active retreat made the KPA's charge very smooth, and it successfully occupied the fortress almost without bloodshed, and the entire battle lasted less than 40 minutes.

After entering the fortress, Liu Tie immediately ordered that the 2nd Division stationed in Fuyuan County also be transferred to Bolilai, leaving only one battalion to garrison Fuyuan, and then leaving a regiment to guard the fortress, ordering the 2nd and 3rd regiments to attack, occupy the surrounding larger villages and towns, and look for any remaining Russian soldiers.

Although Boli was Chinese territory for hundreds of years before, but under the rule of the Qing court, Boli was just an ordinary small mountain village, Russia operated for more than 40 years before Boli developed into a city, so Boli's architectural style is also completely Russian style, full of exotic atmosphere, the population is also dominated by Russians, accounting for 7-8 percent of the entire population, in addition to a small number of Han, Mongolian, Korean people, as well as Hezhe, Dahaner, Oroqen and other ethnic minorities, most of the residents are fishing and hunting for a living, and will also cultivate some crops.

After the retreat of the Russian army, most of the villages and towns have expressed their submission to the People's Army, and the People's Army has also chosen several large villages and towns, stationed one or two companies to garrison, of course, the Russians in two villages are not satisfied, because there are many residents in this area, and there are a lot of civilian weapons, so they actually want to fight with the People's Army, and the People's Army is thinking of slaughtering a chicken to establish power, and two chickens will come out of it, so there is a reason not to catch it, first beat the two villages violently, and then forcibly arrested the villagers of the two villages, regardless of men, women, old and young, by force, and declared that the villagers of the two villages are sinners and will be punished, and then set a fireand burned down both villages.

This suddenly shocked everyone, and some people who still wanted to fight with the People's Army finally got down and honestly obeyed the management of the People's Army.
