Chapter 759: It's Far Enough
Bang bang, bang bang! After a continuous burst of gunfire, the remaining five or six Cossacks lost their horses.
After Poyakov and the others got up from the ground, they found that they had been surrounded, and the muzzles of dozens of black holes and shiny bayonets sent chills down the hearts of the Cossacks.
These people are devils, Major Boyakov thought as he raised his hands.
The annihilation of a small army of whites and the capture of a few prisoners was not a big deal for the Tiance army.
However, this incident attracted the attention of division commander Wang Hongwu.
"According to the report of the second company, these Russians slaughtered many of the surrounding Daur and Oroqen tribes, robbed a large number of furs, and captured eighty-three women." Teacher instructor Wang Wenquan said.
Wang Hongwu frowned and said, "Let people try the prisoners, what is the real intention of these people?" Are they small units of reconnaissance, or are they the vanguard of the Russians, and what are their large forces? And directions. ”
Wang Wenquan said helplessly: "I have already asked, but unfortunately the language is not understood, and it is completely a chicken and a duck." ”
Wang Hongwu said: "I don't believe it, there are locals who don't know Russian, so if you look carefully, there must be." ”
He said to Sun Yuanlong again: "Chief of Staff, release drones to strengthen reconnaissance around the area to see if the Russians have follow-up troops." ”
Sun Yuanlong said: "Yes! ”
If this is the vanguard of the Russians, it means that there are follow-up forces. Judging from the equipment of the Russians, this is a semi-firearms unit, and if there are several thousand troops in the future, it must be given a certain amount of attention.
In order to find an interpreter, the 4th Division conducted a thorough survey of the locals and promised a good reward, and finally found someone who could communicate with both sides.
The interpreter was a Daur woman who, according to her, had been captured by the Russian Cossacks and that she missed her family, and ten years later the Daur woman finally found a chance to run back, where she learned Russian.
After a cordial and friendly "inquiry", Boyakov and other captives finally poured beans into a bamboo tube and confessed the information Wang Hongwu wanted.
Instructor Wang Wenquan laughed and said: "Oh my God, the second company actually annihilated the entire strength of the Cossack expeditionary force, and the base camp of this Cossack army, Yakutsk City, has less than 2,000 soldiers. ”
In fact, Major Boyakov still did not tell the truth, and several prisoners also colluded with each other because the Tiance army did not know Russian, and exaggerated the total strength of Yakutsk, which was actually only 450 people.
In addition, Major Poyakov explained that the distance and location of the city of Yakutsk are also misleading to the Tiance army, this is a castle that was built just fourteen years ago, and the depiction of geographical location in this plane has always been difficult to accurate, so it is understandable.
But Major Boyakov never dreamed of the magic of the Tiance Army.
"The city of Yakutsk on the west bank of the Lena River is more than 1,200 kilometers away from Yaksa, which is really far enough."
The operational staff officers showed the precise location and distance of the city of Yakutsk on a large-scale military map. 1,200 kilometers, equivalent to the distance from Harbin to Beijing.
"Send a telegram to the commander and report the situation here in detail." Wang Hongwu said.
Wang Yue's reply was quickly returned, and his instructions were: Our army should ignore the Russians in Yakutsk for the time being, and we must destroy and strike at the small Russian Cossacks that have flowed into our Heilongjiang River valley and near Sakhalin Island.
Siberia has a total area of 12 million square kilometers, and Wang Yue certainly has ideas about this land, but now is not the time.
Historically, in the Sino-Russian Battle of Yaksa forty years later, the Russians had no more than 1,000 troops.
Therefore, according to Wang Yue's estimates, the total strength of the Russian Cossacks in the entire Far East should not exceed 5,000 people, which is not enough compared to the combat strength of the Tiance Army.
The Russians' expansion in Siberia took a total of two hundred years, and now it is only halfway through.
The city of Yakutsk, more than 1,200 kilometers north of Yaxa, is meaningless to the starting point at this stage, and even if it is breached, it must be abandoned, and the Russians will still make a comeback. Just like the first Battle of Yaksa in history, after the Qing army retreated, the Russians invaded Yaksa again.
The security forces now have 10 brigades in the northeast, and four brigades will be deployed in the Heilongjiang region and Sakhalin, which will have an advantage over the Cossacks in terms of strength and equipment.
On August 8, Wang Yue returned to the starting point city, and the reward date set by the imperial court was ten days later, and the six reference groups drawn by the Tiance army also entered an intense closed exercise.
From Liaodong to the starting point with Wang Yue, there were also Hong Chengchou, Qiu Minyang, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, Ma Ke and other generals of the Jiliao Governor's District.
The list of rewards from the imperial court also includes these people, and they can't let the Tiance Army stand out.
"Lord Hong, Lord Qiu, generals, since you have come to my starting point city, they are all guests, and my starting point city has already arranged food and accommodation, please be sure to enjoy it."
On the platform of Jingshi Railway Station, Wang Yue was very enthusiastic.
These officials and generals of the imperial court, who came to Beijing at the request of the imperial court, were usually arranged to official post houses, in fact, some people also had houses in Beijing, such as Hong Chengchou.
This time in Beijing, Wang Yueli invited everyone to go along, in order to let them know the starting point city, especially the convenience of railways and highways.
Take a bus from Shenyang to Dalian, then take a night ferry to Tianjin, and take a train from Tianjin to Jingshi Railway Station. While everyone is novel all the way, there is no sense of fatigue on the journey.
"A land of thousands of miles, in a blink of an eye, this railway is indeed extraordinary." Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have heard that there are many miracles in the starting point city, and this official is about to go to have a look." ”
Zu Dashou and others also said: "Then it will bother the uncle." ”
"You're welcome, please!" Wang Yue said.
The people of the Jiliao Governorate District came to understand the highway and railway, and the second was to discuss the relevant details of the Beijing-Shenyang line, so it is a business tour group.
A foreign affairs office has been set up under the management committee of the starting point city, and the reception of these personnel is up to them.
Due to the rapid population of the starting point city, which is about to exceed the million mark, and most of them are foreigners, so hotels have sprung up near the starting point city and Shijingshan Industrial Zone. The vast majority of hotels are privately owned, and there are now more than a dozen government-run hostels and hotels, including those run by the military, those run by industrial zones, and those under the Ministry of Commerce.
