Gao Junshan received a reply from Cao Wenzhao, hoping to advance the raid on July 5 by ten days, because July 4 was the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and there was no possibility of concealment in the night attack at this time.

Gao Junshan immediately called back to agree.

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, time flies so fast, Gao Junshan can't help but sigh.

The advent of the Mid-Autumn Festival means that the summer is coming to an end, so what is the situation on the side of He Renlong?

Judging from the telegrams from He Renlong and Ma Yuanli's army, their progress was not satisfactory, mainly because the areas they went to were all uninhabited, and every time they went deep into an area, they were faced with logistical supply problems.

Gao Junshan ordered Ma Yuanli to move the Jurchen tribe to the coastal towns of western Xinjiang, although the Jurchen tribe has nearly 30,000 people, but they are all old people who can not have children, they have lived in these places, and now escorting them over is not considered to abuse them, just let them die in these places, it is also a good choice for them.

However, Gao Junshan strictly restricted the Jurchens from associating with the local Tu tribes, in order to prevent leaving the next generation. The task of monitoring them is still undertaken by the Ma Yuanli Army, but it has changed from the original centralized surveillance to the current decentralized surveillance.

In addition, Gao Junshan sent a telegram to Li Dingguo, who was stationed in Xijing, to ask Auri Yilan to organize the people of the Daur tribe to move to the towns and villages by the sea to increase the population of the western coast.

At the same time, he urged the interior to speed up the speed of population immigration, so that the frontiers of the Chinese country could prosper rapidly.

After this order was issued, Gao Junshan received a telegram from Jinling, which was sent by Li Guo, and it was still a request for war.

Jiangnan must be stable and there must be no war. Gao Junshan frowned, for fear that Li Guo would be greedy for merit and rashly send troops, so he immediately called Li Guo back, and he was not allowed to send troops to fight without the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

At the same time, he sent a telegram to the Admiralty in Jiangnan to hold on, and he sent a telegram with the same content to Zheng Zhilong in Fujian.

The Rakshasa Kingdom continued to pour ecstasy soup on them, and Gao Junshan ordered the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Niu Jinxing to extend a happy olive branch to the king of the Rakshasa Kingdom and promise any conditions they proposed.

……

June 26, the seventh day of the eighth lunar month.

That night, dark clouds were thick, and the surface of Lake Balkhash was silent, and the breeze blew and caused small ripples.

On the shore of Nanhu Lake, Sun Dahai's Marine Brigade had quietly boarded more than 300 wooden boats, and the first wave to go offshore was the 30 wooden boats taken by the pioneer battalion.

On one of the front boats, a tall and mighty battalion commander of a Marine Brigade watched nervously ahead.

His name is Li Feixiong, he is a tall man of 1.85 meters, and the commander of the pioneer battalion. This pioneer battalion was a reinforced battalion, with five companies underneath, and in this operation, with the company as the phalanx, the deputy battalion commander and the battalion staff officer all went down to each company to participate in the company's night raid.

If discovered by the enemy, the first to be attacked is the ship that is at the front, and the warriors who have boarded this ship have put life and death on the line, and will not go back to the north shore. There is a great spirit of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone".

The wooden boat was moving rapidly, and the soldiers were all sitting quietly on the boat, armed with Type 48 Minnie guns, except for the sound of the boatman's rocking.

The Type 48 Mini gun is the latest type of Mini gun, and the whole army is only equipped with this battalion, although it is still front-loaded, but the rate of fire is twice as high.

Before setting out, the boatmen had a comprehensive understanding of the water conditions of Lake Balkhash, which was about eight meters deep, with an average depth of six meters, and a water temperature of 24 degrees during the day and 15 degrees at night.

During the voyage, a light rain fell in the sky, and it did not stop the speed of the boat, and Li Feixiong still watched the movement of the lake from the bow of the boat.

After sailing at full speed for nearly an hour, the speed of the ship gradually slowed down, and by this time it was approaching the northern shore and entering a forked waterway in the city of Balkhash, and after entering this waterway, the speed of the ship was even slower, because there was a high probability that enemy sentinels might appear on both sides of this waterway.

This section of the waterway was not very long, only two or three miles, because of the good camouflage, and the fact that there was not much movement of the boats, the waterway of these two or three miles was not discovered, and thirty boats approached the north shore.

Li Feixiong jumped onto the north bank with one key step, and immediately rushed to a camp fort in the Rakshasa Country, and more than thirty soldiers with mini guns followed closely behind him.

"Lie down!" Li Feixiong suddenly ordered, his voice low.

The company commander Zhang who followed him also discovered the enemy's situation. A sentry of the Rakshasa was walking out of the barracks to pee in a daze.

After the sentry finished urinating, Li Feixiong ordered Company Commander Zhang to bring two people to follow and use a dagger to eliminate the sentry.

I saw three men leap out with the agility of rabbits, and before the sentry could react, he screamed for his life.

The team groped their way up and surrounded the camp fort, and Company Commander Zhang led people to rush into the camp fort and capture the nine Rakshasa soldiers in their sleep.

Occupying the camp fort outside the city, Li Feixiong asked people to change into the clothes of Rakshasa soldiers and bring explosive barrels to blow up the city gates.

More than 200 boats of the Marine Brigade followed the ships of the Pioneer Battalion to the vicinity of the north shore and waited, and when a deafening explosion sounded on the north shore, Sun Dahai ordered the fleet to land at full speed.

The army of the Rakshasa Kingdom, which had already relaxed its vigilance, could not withstand the fierce offensive of the Marine Brigade, and after half a day of fierce fighting, the city of Balkhash was occupied by the troops of the Huaxia State that morning.

The Rakshasa army that withdrew from the city also wanted to organize forces to recapture Balkhash City, because the follow-up troops of the Huaxia National Army kept up in time, so they had to give up this idea and withdraw from this area.

The battle killed 546 enemy men and captured 2,156 people, of whom Major General Valery was killed, Major General Valery was wounded and fled, and Major General Levlovich was captured.

To Sun Dahai's surprise, a large number of strategic materials were hoarded in the treasury of Balkhash City, where there were not only weapons and ammunition, but also food for the five legions for two years and a large number of winter clothes.

……

The battle report reached Gao Junshan, who ordered Cao Wenzhao's army to immediately cross Lake Balkhash, stabilize the defensive line, and seek an opportunity to develop into the deep Rakshasa country.

"Your Majesty, do you want to continue the negotiations with the Rakshasa Mission?" Niu Jinxing got the news and came to ask Gao Junshan.

The Rakshasa embassy was closed to news, and they didn't know that Balkhash City had been occupied by the Huaxia Kingdom, and they were still determined to continue negotiations with Niu Jinxing.

Gao Junshan instructed: "Inform them that they can go home." ”
