"Help me up!" Fadeev struggled to his feet and began to look around the battlefield with binoculars, the two division commanders beside him holding maps to explain to the general what had just happened on the battlefield. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Those who have fought and fought old can understand the opponent's intentions by looking at the battlefield situation, and Fargiev will know that he has encountered a ruthless character as soon as he sees this formation.

"There's a master on the other side! It's not a tactician, it's a strategist! I don't know who! What a ruthless formation...... Ahem, ahem!" The agitated Fagiev coughed violently.

"Those fireworks are signal flares for the enemy's fortified walls! The distant fires must be burning villages, these Chinese are crazy, they are burning their own villages......"

It is not wrong at all, the most resolute means of resisting the invaders is to fortify the wilderness, and in this land the volunteers have obtained countless new arrivals of ethnic minorities, and in one winter they have joined the local Oroqen, wild Jurchens, Hezhe people, and Mongols...... have established a very intimate relationship.

For these foreign Tsarist Russian troops, the peoples of the Far East have long been holding back the fire in their bellies, hiding countless hatreds in their hearts, and every tribe and village has been plundered by Tsarist Russia, and there are even atrocities such as massacres and humiliation of women.

The contradiction is irreconcilable, because the current Far East has not established a very stable rule, and the communication channels between the east and the west of Tsarist Russia have not been established, and these Far East garrisons can only rely on their own strength to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

And the economic base of the Far East was so weak that it simply could not provide excessive tax revenues, and these Tsarist garrisons could only survive on robbery and smuggling.

On the one hand, if you don't rob it, you can't live, and on the other hand, if you are robbed, you can't live, and the hatred between the Tsarist army and the local aborigines has become deeper and deeper in recent years.

In real history, Tsarist Russia really solved this problem by forceful suppression, which dragged on until the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway. A railway changed the economic structure of the entire Far East, and the road led to rapid economic growth, which was the complete solution to the contradictions between the garrison and the aborigines.

And now, Tsarist Russia has no time, their tactics of delaying time by suppression are broken by the Volunteers, and a war of independence that swept through the Far East has completely detonated the powder keg in the hearts of the people.

When the flares took to the skies, the area north of the Amur River was in action, and the mountain people and villagers who were shouting tears sent the last of their floating wealth to their families on horseback and climbing plows, and the women and children were quickly evacuated under the protection of CIA officers and guerrillas.

And the men set fire to their homes with their own hands, grain, horse feed, and jerky...... Everything that could be eaten and used was set on fire, and villages were burning, and black smoke was rising into the sky.

"Burn it, burn it! Leave them not a grain of food! Starve these Rakshasa ghosts...... Woowoo...... Lao Tzu has hands and feet, and he can build a new home in the future!"

The soldiers of the Volunteer Army next to him comforted him, "Don't worry! If the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come, and you will know if you follow the prime minister in the future, you can eat the white rice of the South Seas, the white noodles of the United States, and you can eat enough beef and fruits!"

"As long as it's too peaceful, let's build our own school, the prime minister said that we want to run a free school, and children don't need money to go to school!"

Hatred coupled with the longing for a better life in the future stimulated these outsiders to be extremely excited, and the task of the entire Jianbi Qingye was extremely smooth.

Within an hour of the flares being blown off, more than 100 villages on the north bank of the Amur River were set on fire, and thousands of people crossed the river from the east into the south bank, bypassing the main battlefield.

This move was ruthless enough, and it hit the Cossack army seven inches above the cossack army with a stick, and Fadeev was also a little helpless at the moment.

The army relied on robbery all the way, and now that the enemy has not left a grain of grain in the clear field, this battle will not be easy to fight.

"Now we can't continue to go east, even if there are safe ferries in the east, we can't rush there, we don't have time, and we don't have so many supplies!"

"Besides, the opponent can come up with such a desperate strategy, which shows that there must also be an ambush at the ferry in the east, and it is impossible for this kind of commander to make low-level mistakes!"

Fadeev stretched out his hand and pointed at the river, "Look at it, the ice on the east and west sides of Jiangxin Island has also been destroyed, only the 200-meter ice surface facing us in the north is open!"

"The enemy's purpose is obvious, which is to force us to attack from here, the only breakthrough...... There must be heavy troops there, they are going to fight us in a decisive battle!"

"Fight, General!" The generals of the Cossack army had already understood the situation in front of them, and the enemy on the opposite side had time to destroy the last 200 meters of safe ice, but they did not, and it was clear that they were going to fight a decisive battle with the Cossacks.

Everyone knew that there would be casualties in the cavalry's frontal assault on the enemy's position, but there was no choice! The food and grass had been exhausted, and the army could no longer move forward, and if the area of raiding was expanded, there would not be enough time.

"General, according to past experience, even if the ice surface is not destroyed in the Chinese for more than ten days, the Amur River will also be in season! We will not have time to raise more grain and grass......

"Isn't it a decisive battle? Isn't it a dead man? When did the Cossacks ever fear casualties?"

"Yes, we have no way out! Do you want us to go home without firing a shot? His Majesty the Tsar will not let us go! When the time comes, we will either die or be exiled to ......the Far East."

"In that case, we might as well stay here and fight!"

This is a dead end set by Xiao Letian, putting the trap here in a grand manner, and clearly telling you that this is a dead end, but it is also the only way to live, it depends on whether you dare to enter the game.

The sound of trumpets began to echo in the Cossack army, and the troops finally received orders to prepare for battle, and the whole army began to distribute the few remaining rations and horse feed, and the soldiers and horses of the first wave of charging soldiers and horses had priority to eat.

The hungry war horse greedily gnawed on the alfalfa grass, and its owner held the head of the war horse affectionately on the side, "My brother, maybe we will die on the way to the charge in a while, don't abandon me, even if we die, we will rush into the enemy's military formation!"

The chaplains were the busiest at the moment, and they were miserable on long marches, but they still had to pray for the blessings of each of the cavalrymen, and beside them knelt down countless of the first attacking soldiers, reciting the Bible in their mouths, and kissing their foreheads with the cross in their hands.

"Fight, fight, preach the gospel of the Lord, kindle the flame that burns the heathen, and the souls of those who die in battle are destined to ascend to heaven!"

"The 3rd Division is preparing for the offensive in three waves, each with 2,000 soldiers...... Assemble, assemble now!"

"The 4th Division is ready for battle...... Distribution of grain and grass...... Slaughter the spare horses at once!Prepare the meat ......"

Standing on the embankment, Fadeev looked at the island on the other side: "Infantry against cavalry? How confident are you? Do you think that after digging so many trenches and building so many fortifications, you can resist us?"

"Give it a try! Let me see how capable you are!"

At the same time, Xiao Letian was also staring at a crowd of cavalry on the river embankment on the opposite bank, "Come on, come and fight!" Don't worry, I don't have ambush explosives on the 200-meter ice surface, I'll give you a place for a decisive battle, it depends on how many lives you fill in!"
