In the late Qing Dynasty, there were only a few roads leading to the outside of Heilongjiang Province, and the Hulunbuir area in the west was under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang at the moment, which was a grassland directly connected to Mongolia, and it was reasonable to say that this was the best area for cavalry to move. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But it is a pity that the Great Khingan Mountains cut off the east-west communication, and this group of Cossacks could not pass through this primeval dense forest at all.

If the road to the west can't go, then you can only go around the Heilongjiang River Basin, in the upper reaches of Aihui City, Mohe, Anluo, Kumar City, etc. are also more suitable areas for crossing the river, but the current Cossacks must not go back, on the one hand, there is not enough time and on the other hand, because even if the river is crossed, it is also the mainland of the Qing Dynasty, and it is not clear how many ambush circles Hunchun has placed around the mountains and rivers.

Only to the east, all the way to the east to find a breakthrough, Kirill, Colfin, XY...... The ferry crossings in other towns were all destroyed by Hunchun, and the exhausted Cossacks could only look for the last breakthrough, that is, the mouth of the Songhua River where Gogol had crossed before.

The reality is really extremely cruel, when the pioneer battalion arrived at the Y-shaped Songhua River estuary, the criss-crossed farmland has been waiting for them here for a long time, it seems that these ice surfaces have been destroyed for several days, the ice trough is covered with black soil and charcoal, after a few days of absorbing heat, many areas have almost melted.

Not to mention the cavalry, even a child on the ice is very dangerous at the moment.

"God! Isn't Hunchun a mutiny? Why is he so efficient, isn't there a descendant of Tepuxin in the entire Jiangfang soldiers?"

Fadeev scolded, in his mind, such a large-scale mutiny, it is difficult to stabilize the situation in a short time, a provincial administrative system, from head to toe to command orders, the need for countless links, where does Hunchun have such a great ability to control everything in a few days?

However, he underestimated the uniqueness of the Eight Banners Group, this kind of super family of relatives and friends, and sometimes the internal organization and management rely on the master-slave relationship and the blood relationship of relatives and friends.

It is often more convenient for the master to explain a few things to the slave, and for friends to ask for some things than to go through the official documents. Hunchun's orders were completely free from the administrative system, and the middle and high-ranking generals under his control could be concluded by sending a few private messages with carrier pigeons and fast horses, which was much faster than taking the normal route.

Moreover, the so-called Tepuxin's lineage is also a false proposition, and the officials of the late Qing Dynasty still pursued interests in their bones, unless those high-level officials who were deeply bound by the faction, and most of the rest of the middle and lower-level officials were still grass on the wall, and the wind was strong over there.

After Tepuxin and those die-hard elements were stewed by Hunchun, the rest of the officials would be fools to touch the moldy head.

Fargiev looked at the broken ice, looked at the shadowy Qing state camp and checkpoints on the south bank, he could even hear the ridicule of those Qing slaves, and the exhausted Fargiev almost fainted in front of his eyes.

Chekov and Arshavin saw that it was not good, and hurriedly rode their horses and rushed over to support the corps commander: "General, wake up! General, wake up...... The army can't live without you now, you are our backbone!"

"To the East...... Continue east!" said Fadeev in a weak voice, "go straight to the mouth of the Ussuri River...... I can feel that our opponents have arrived, and they are waiting for us on the Ussuri River......"

The Heilongjiang River flows into the Pacific Ocean from west to east, and the two largest tributaries of the Heilongjiang River, one is the Songhua River and the other is the Ussuri River.

The two great rivers flow parallel to the Heilongjiang River from south to north, and the distance between the confluence of the two great rivers is only one hundred and fifty kilometers, which can be described as a day and an evening for the cavalry regiment with a rapid march, but at this moment the Cossack regiment has no sharpness.

The men and horses were tired, and all the thin ones lost their fat, and the army walked for two and a half days after a hundred and fifty kilometers of journey, and when Fargiev saw the familiar triangular Jiangxin Island on the map, a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.

"Is the fortune of the country so bleak, why does God punish us so much...... After saying this, his eyes darkened, and the regimental commander was actually fainted alive.

At the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers is the border breakdown line marked by the Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty, where two large rivers meet, and the perennial sediment shock forms a triangular island in the middle of the river.

Jiangxin Island is surrounded by rivers on three sides, and the two major rivers converge and continue to flow north towards the Pacific Ocean in the northeast corner of the island. From here, the name of the Heilongjiang River has changed, and the Amur River is downstream in the northeast corner.

On the southeast bank of the Amur River, there is a border town called Habaropka, which is a very important military fortress built by Tsarist Russia, with a permanent regiment of troops and more than 1,000 Tsarist residents.

But at this moment, everything no longer belongs to Tsarist Russia, the town of Habaropka seems to have just experienced the flames of war, and there is still green smoke rising from the walls, but the flag on the wall has been replaced by the banner of the volunteers.

Looking at the figure of Huo Huo on Jiangxin Island, facing the north is a long defensive position, countless soldiers are cutting down trees to strengthen the fortifications, and when they see the Cossack cavalry on the opposite side, the poignant horn suddenly resounded in the sky.

"Prepare for war...... Preparing for ...... The Rakshasa is coming! The Rakshasa is coming......"

Xiao Lotian and Xiang Shaolong immediately ran out of the fortifications as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, took off their binoculars and looked at the north shore!

"Grandma's, it's finally here! Send flares, signal the guerrilla brothers on the North Shore! Let them do it...... I'd like to see if these Cossacks dare to rush over!"

Bang bang bang...... The south bank began to fire signal flares into the sky rhythmically, and orange fireworks illuminated the sky, and the north and south banks were clearly visible for ten miles.

Not only that, but all the secret intelligence officers who saw this signal took out the fireworks in their arms and began to launch them, and the people who spread the signal farther on the earth also received the prime minister's military order.

There are two huge observation balloons on the battlefield, one fixed on Jiangxin Island and the other fixed in the small town of Habaropka, and the observation sentry in the sky can clearly see how the fireworks signal spreads across the land.

Jiangxin Island fired the first row of signal flares, followed by the second round of signal flares fired by intelligence officers and rangers who were in a circle ten miles away.

Then, ten miles away, the third layer of signal flares rose into the air, then forty miles away, fifty miles away, and half an hour later, the sound of signal flares exploded all over the place, and the whole land suddenly boiled.

"General, wake up...... General!" finally woke up Fadeiev, and the eyes of the regiment commander were clouded at this moment.

The soldiers under him said in horror, "I don't know what those Chinese are doing? They are not attacking, they are constantly firing signal flares into the sky!"

"Ring after ring, keep playing flares......"

"General, it's not good...... Dozens of strange pillars of smoke appeared in the north, and it seemed that many places were on fire!"
