Time turned to November of the sixth year of Tongzhi, and the truly terrifying winter came, and the vast land north of Heilongjiang seemed to be frozen into an ice gada, and everything was frozen in ice and snow and stopped. The battlefield, where the artillery was under fire, was also affected by the severe cold and fell into a rare silence.

On the Eastern Front, Bozhtu's 5th Army Group managed to recapture Tomsk and occupy a large area of land along the lines of Narem and Kuzneysk as planned. However, Bozhtu, who has always liked to rush wildly, also had to stop the pace of the offensive and began to divide his troops on the front line of Narem and Kuznesk.

Although Bozhtu has already invaded the hinterland of Russia, the Russian army in West Siberia and the Caucasus is very empty, and it is difficult to protect itself, so it is naturally unable to attack Bozhtu, and it is the Manchurian Army itself that is holding back Bozhtu's footsteps. Bo Zhitu contributed a lot to the expansion of the territory, but he went too far, and the railway construction in the rear could not be followed up in time, and after entering the winter, the construction of the railway became very slow. At present, the railway has only been built to Krasknoyarsk, and the remaining hundreds of kilometers have to be transported by mules and horses.

Bi Yuntao and Tan Shaoguang on the northern front had already joined forces in Yakutsk and completed the sweep of the northern region of Russia. The Governor of Eastern Siberia, Karsakov, the commander of the Primorsky District, Baranov, and the British adviser Cole, fled to the small town of Okhotsk with 30,000 remnants of the Russian army. Although the train reached Yakutsk, the situation of the 1st and 4th Army Groups was also very unoptimistic, and this northern region was too large.

The strength of the two army groups of more than 100,000 people is already very strong, but it is nothing if it is spread out on a territory of several million square kilometers. Moreover, half of this area is in the Arctic Circle, which is really cold, and the supply of the Manchurian Army is also very difficult. Therefore, although the Russian army has trapped the town and become a turtle in an urn, in this ice and snow, neither of the two armies can think about a big event, they can only stare at each other in a daze.

The only place where the fighting took place was Temple Street on the Eastern Front, where Goxinga, who had stabbed the basket, rushed to support Acton with a large army. However, in the face of the Russian army cowering in the city, the strength advantage of the Manchurian Army could not be reflected at all, and the progress of the war situation was still very slow. Before the war, Temple Street was an important port for the Russian army to receive British aid, and a large number of food, ammunition and other materials were hoarded, because the war broke out very suddenly, so these materials were not sent to other places in time, and all were left in Temple Street, so the Russian army in Temple Street was very well supplied. After Rudnev led the team into Temple Street, the strength of the Russian army was greatly replenished.

After consulting with Rudnev, the commander of the Russian army in Eastern Siberia, Kazakievich did not do stupid things such as breaking through the siege, but continued to act as a groundhog, waiting for the second wave of reinforcements from the mainland. The 50,000 defenders and 30,000 local Russian civilians worked together to frantically develop underground into Temple Street, which soon turned into a beehive-like fortress.

No matter how good the army's equipment is and how high the quality of its soldiers is, they are confused when they encounter street fighting. Whether it is the elite of Nazi Germany or the American GIs of the 21st century, they are frightened when they encounter street fighting, and Goxinga has no choice. And Kazakewicz, a burrower, is really well prepared. Temple Street is densely barricaded, every house, every wall, has to go through fierce battles to get down, not to mention that the Russian army also has double-layer underground fortifications up to seven meters deep. The heavy artillery of the Manchurian Army also bombarded it, and the infantry also rushed through it, but in such a place where bullets could be fired from any corner, there was really no way at all.

If it was hard to fight, the Manchurian Army would have to fight at least one or two main divisions before it could take down Miaojie, and Guoxing Ake was reluctant, so he formulated two plans, and they were implemented at the same time. The first plan is to besiege and completely cut off all contact between Temple Street and the outside world, so that this isolated city will become an isolated island. There are so many people crammed into Temple Street, but the food is limited, and it will take him a year and a half, and sooner or later the Russian army will run out of food. Westerners can't play this, the Chinese are very good at it, not to mention, Dalinghe and Jinzhou have forced the defenders to not even eat human flesh. The second plan was to use high-tech weapons, the chemical factory in Harbin was producing a batch of erosive mustard gas, and the arsenal in Changchun was producing gas masks. Although it is very unkind to use poison gas bombs, the Russians are aggressors, and any means can be used to resist the aggressor.

"General, the besieging forces have captured a convoy near the port, and they seem to be delivering supplies to the city!" While Goxinga was grinding his teeth and waiting for the gas bomb, Acton suddenly appeared in front of Goxinga with a very unexpected message.

"The Russian army sent a small convoy out?" Although the port of Temple Street has been occupied by the Manchurian army, the Russian army still occupies some shoals and sandbars, so it is not unusual for them to enter Heilongjiang. But the Russian army came to find a way to get supplies, which is good news, which shows that the Russian army in the city has a shortage of materials.

"It's not the Russian army, it's a bunch of yellow people." Acton was also confused.

"Traitor?" There are still a few people in the Outer Northeast who have become traitors, but now that the Russian army is gone, there will still be hardcore traitors transporting supplies for the Russian army, Guo Xinga doesn't believe anything.

"It's not Chinese, it's not a minority in Trans-Manchuria, it seems like Koreans or Japanese. The few live mouths that were caught have been sent to the mercenary division for Asano to help screen them. Acton had actually just received the report, and he didn't know much about it.

"Did you catch them near the harbor?" There were really some Koreans and Japanese begging for a living in the area of Temple Street, but with the prosperity of Manchuria, these people all went south to Manchuria to work, and it was very rare to stay here.

"Not far from the port, when they were found, they were on the ice of the river, pulling more than a dozen truckloads of supplies with climbing plows." Acton didn't figure out what was going on, but he knew exactly what was going on with the guys.

"It's strange, the estuary is frozen, where did they get their supplies from?" Goxinga was also very curious about this strange convoy.
