Chapter III Customs Clearance Actions (3)

After Jiang Haidong was transferred to the Marine Corps, Li Zhuangyong became the number one general of the 1st Army, and he is also the only 3 naturalized soldiers in the People's Army who serve as regiment commanders.

This time, Liu Tie named the 1st Regiment to be the vanguard, in fact, he let the 1st Regiment take on the task of attacking the fortification, after all, the Russian army to be dealt with this time is actually enough for this one regiment. To this end, Liu Tie also allocated 320 of the more than 400 sled dogs in the headquarters to the 1st regiment to form 40 medium-sized sled groups, and 20 large sled groups, which are responsible for accompanying transportation tasks, with a total load of 20 tons.

Since this time the troops were lightly armed, except for mortars, the artillery units of all units did not dispatch, and this regiment actually dispatched only about 2,500 people, while a division only dispatched more than 9,000 people, less than 10,000 people. There is a weight of 20 tons, plus the weight of the soldiers, since all the soldiers are skiing this time, this is much less labor-saving than walking, and the weight of each person can also be increased, which is enough to support the 1st regiment for about 12 days of action and operations.

In fact, at this time, the garrison in the northeast had been idle for more than half a year, and during this half year, the People's Army successively launched the naval battle of the Nasna Islands, the naval battle of the Taiwan Strait, and the landing in Japan. Many troops even asked the headquarters to attack Chita, but of course they were all rejected.

Now there is finally a chance to send troops to attack the Russian army, although it is this cold season, but the troops who have been ordered to attack are all happy and high-spirited, while the troops that were not selected for combat this time are depressed and unhappy.

Li Zhuangyong was appointed as the vanguard troops, and it was like drinking nectar, and after reorganizing the team, he immediately led the troops to Fuyuan.

Located at the confluence of the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River, Fuyuan County is a county seat in the northeastern border region of Heilongjiang Province. The journey of more than 300 kilometers would normally take 8-10 days of marching, but since the whole regiment was skiing, and nearly half of the journey was sliding along the frozen Ussuri River, the speed not only did not slow down, but it was also a little faster than the ordinary march, and finally reached a place less than 10 kilometers away from Fuyuan County at noon on the 6th day.

Because it was still early at this time, and when it was icy and snowy, the entire wilderness on both sides of the Ussuri River was almost empty, and even the whereabouts of birds and beasts could not be seen, so Li Zhuangyong did not rush to command the People's Army to immediately launch an attack on Yichun County, but found a leeward place on the bank of the river, shoveled snow walls, set up bunkers, and set up a simple camp, concealed horses, sled dogs, and sleds, etc., and then lit a kerosene stove and began to make a fire for cooking. At the same time, scouts were sent to Fuyuan City to reconnoitre.

After eating hot meals, feeding horses and sled dogs, and the scouts also came to report, the defense of Fuyuan City was very lax, apparently unaware that the People's Army had unknowingly touched the front.

Li Zhuangyong was also very happy when he heard this, and the troops rested for a few more hours, and the soldiers' physical strength had recovered somewhat, and by this time it was about 7 o'clock in the evening, and the sky was gradually darkening. Only then did Li Zhuangyong give the order that he would lead the first battalion and the second battalion to attack and seize Fuyuan City, and the third battalion would stay in the camp.

Although the sky is dark, but the snow reflects the moonlight, starlight, visibility is still good, and the scouts have left signposts along the road, so they are not afraid of going wrong, 10 kilometers of distance, for the speed of skiing, it does not take an hour to arrive.

And when the People's Army touched the south gate of Fuyuan City less than 500 meters, Li Zhuangyong took out a telescope and observed at the head of the city, Fuyuan is only a small county town, and the population of the city is only more than 10,000 people, so the scale is not large, the city wall is also very low, and a few places have collapsed, but the city tower is still good, although the city gate is closed, but the city wall is empty, Li Zhuangyong is also a little surprised, the Russian army is careless to this point, and there is not even a soldier who keeps vigil at night?

In fact, although the Russian army stationed in Fuyuan did not expect that the People's Army would leap a distance of more than 300 kilometers at this time to attack Fuyuan, the basic defense was still there, and the soldiers who kept vigil were also arranged, but the soldiers who kept vigil were afraid of the cold and did not want to stay on the city wall to blow the cold wind, so they hid under the city and took shelter behind the city wall, and there was naturally no one on the city wall.

Although Li Zhuangyong was a little surprised, he had already learned before setting off that the number of Russian troops stationed in Fuyuan was not large, only 1 company, about 130 people, and although the scale of Fuyuan City was not large, the length of the unilateral city wall was also more than 100 meters, so even if the Russian troops stationed in Fuyuan were prepared, it was not enough to defend the entire Fuyuan City. Li Zhuangyong didn't pay much attention to these abnormal situations. So he immediately gave an order, and the three companies of the 2nd battalion went to the eastern, western, and northern gates of Fuyuan City, and led the 1st battalion to attack from the south gate.

Twenty minutes later, when all the People's Armies entered their respective positions, Li Zhuangyong ordered the demolition team to attack and blast the city gate. Although several parts of Fuyuan City had collapsed, it was not easy to climb because it was covered with ice and snow, so Li Zhuangyong decided to use the tactic of blasting the city gate.

The demolition team composed of 3 soldiers quietly touched the city gate with the blaster and set up the blaster. Hearing a loud bang, the city gate was blown to pieces, and Li Zhuangyong immediately led the soldiers and launched a charge. At this time, the Russian soldiers who were on vigil did not understand what was going on, and a few came to the city gate to observe, but they were shot and killed by the People's Army approaching the entrance of the city gate, and then the People's Army immediately entered Fuyuan City from the city gate.

After breaking into Fuyuan City, Li Zhuangyong immediately arranged, leaving one platoon to guard the city gate, and the other two platoons moved along the city wall to reinforce the troops at the east and west city gates, and he led two companies to break through along the street like the city.

Although the People's Army does not have the drawings of Fuyuan City, the pattern of China's county towns in this era is similar, basically in a square layout, the cross street in the city connects 4 gates, and the city is divided into 4 large blocks, and the county government is located at the crossroads in the city, as for that side, it is different from city to city. The army stationed in the city usually has its headquarters located in the county office, and even the military camp is also located here, after all, the county seat is so large, and there are not many places where troops can be garrisoned.

Li Zhuangyong's judgment was not wrong, after the Russian army occupied Fuyuan, it used the county government as the headquarters and military camp of Fuyuan City, anyway, there were only more than 100 people, which did not occupy much space, so Russian soldiers were also sent to guard the gate of the county government. However, the length and width of the entire Fuyuan City are only more than 100 meters, and the intersection is only more than 50 meters.

However, how could only 4 or 5 Russian soldiers stop the advance of the KPA, so the KPA soldiers shot back and rushed forward, as a result, 3 Russian soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, and the other two Russian soldiers were stabbed to death with bayonets by the KPA soldiers who rushed to the front.

At this time, it was not yet 9 o'clock in the night, and many Russian soldiers did not sleep, and after hearing the explosions and gunfire outside, they also knew that there was an enemy attack, so they hurriedly took up their weapons and rushed out of the county government to meet the battle.

Now the People's Army's white-knuckle warfare technology and experience are not inferior to the Russian army, and it also occupies an obvious advantage in numbers, plus the Russian army did not expect the People's Army to attack Fuyuan at all, so it was in a hurry, and its morale and morale were inferior to the People's Army, so it was naturally unable to resist, and was killed and retreated.

At this time, the soldiers of the People's Army at the other gates of the city have also broken through the city wall, entered the city, and converged at the county ya, surrounded the county yatuan, and the Russian army gathered the last 5 or 60 people, and stood in the corner of the county yali to resist stubbornly, due to the narrow terrain in the county ya, the strength of the people's army could not be fully deployed, so two consecutive attacks could not break through the Russian army's defense line.

So the People's Army is no longer in a hurry to attack, but first occupy a good bunker, use firepower to suppress the Russian army, and then throw hands to the Russian army**, this time the Russian army really can't stand it, after the People's Army threw more than 10 hands **, the remaining Russian soldiers desperately shouted "surrender", because of the war with the Russian army for nearly 2 years, most of the soldiers of the People's Army can understand a few basic Russian, and some of the smart-minded soldiers also learned a few words, so they all stopped shooting, and the Russian-speaking soldiers shouted "put down their arms" Hands up", "come out", etc.,

After a short time, the Russian soldiers raised their hands one by one, walked out from behind their bunkers and surrendered to the KPA. And this whole battle lasted less than 30 minutes. The People's Army successfully captured Fuyuan City. A total of 56 Russian soldiers were killed and 67 captured, while the KPA only suffered 6 casualties and another 15 wounded.

However, Li Zhuangyong was not too excited, after all, there was only one company of the Russian army stationed in Fuyuan City, and the People's Army was taken by surprise and caught the Russian army off guard.

Of course, taking Fuyuan is of great significance to the People's Army, as it enables the People's Army to gain a stable garrison on the front line, because Fuyuan is only about 60 kilometers away from Boli, the main target of the People's Army's sortie this time, and can calmly carry out the next battle.
