The time came to the end of August of the sixth year of Tongzhi, and the Manchurian Army sang a triumphant song on all fronts, which can be said to be marching all the way. Bozhtu, who violated the order, also achieved fruitful results, although he did not capture the most cities, but the strategic significance was extraordinary, which amounted to turning the entire land east of Tomsk into the pocket of Goshinga. Yu Wendao had also completed the construction of the Heilongjiang River Bridge, and the railroad was following the pace of the army, advancing at high speed in the occupied area, and all the army groups could be supplied by rail, except for the too distant Bozhitu.

But Hailan Pao's Guoxinga was not happy at all, on his battle map, although he was also victorious on all fronts, but the whole line was also in a stalemate. Acton's 2nd Army Group suffered minor casualties all the way to Temple Street, but it encountered hard bones in Temple Street. The remnants of the Russian army in the coastal areas all shrank to Temple Street, almost the entire Temple Street was hollowed out, and the whole city of Temple Street was turned into a military fortress.

Bi Yuntao of the First Army Group did not progress smoothly, Udiskoye did not have as many troops and fortifications as Temple Street, but this ghost place was a mountain city backed by the Outer Khing'an Mountains, and the terrain was extremely complicated, so Bi Yuntao could not deploy troops at all. Udiskoye not only has a complex terrain outside the city, but also a mess inside the city, and the effect of the artillery bombardment that Bi Yuntao is best at is not very obvious. Bi Yuntao won battles every day in Udiskoye, and his own casualties were not large, but he couldn't take them.

Bozhtu and Jiying stopped in Irkutsk, and the two of them, one resting and the other waiting for supplies, were also unable to move for a while. There was no progress in the navy, and the Yellow Sea Fleet and the North Sea Detachment joined forces to severely damage the Russian Pacific Fleet, and divided the Russian fleet into two parts, Temple Street and Sakhalin Island, but it was also a stalemate, and it was not possible to completely annihilate the Russian fleet. In the end, Ding Shengping, who couldn't wait, simply threw the Russians to Bian Changdi, and turned around and went back to Vladivostok to pick up the 3rd Marine Brigade.

On the map of Goxinga, except for his own Fourth Army Group, whether on land or at sea, all of them are in a stalemate, not to mention that it will be consumed until winter, and it may be consumed until the beginning of spring next year. This made Guo Xinga, who was anxious to end the war before the arrival of winter, very anxious, the snow in Siberia is not small, although he prepared cotton clothes, but he did not want the soldiers to exercise in the ice and snow, really encountered heavy snow, the capacity of the train could be affected.

"Divide the troops! You go to support Acton, Chengtai goes to support Yulai, and I go to discipline Bo Ritu! After studying the map for a long time, Goxinga decided to split the Fourth Army Group, after all, the Fourth Army Group was also idle now.

"Okay, how to deploy troops?" Tan Shaoguang has no opinion, and now it is indeed necessary to break the deadlock.

"Bi Yu will need a lot of manpower over there in the future, so let Chengtai bring the three reorganizationists over. The bones on the Akton side are relatively hard, so you have to use a heavy hammer, you bring all three task forces, and then bring Kong Zhen and them all over. Bo Ritu and Ji Ying's side are a good fight, and I will take the direct guards away. "The total number of Russian troops in the Baikal region is tens of thousands, and Gohinga has the heart to go there alone.

"There are too few troops around the general, so let's bring more people!" Tan Shaoguang must ensure that Guoxing'a is absolutely safe.

"In a winning situation, why am I bringing so many people over? Those two sides are really employing people, you all bring them! After conquering Temple Street, Brother Tan, you can also go directly to the sea and land from the Kamchatka Peninsula to support Yulai! I'm going to take everyone to the Great West, and I'm wasting food! Goxinga waved that there was no need.

"It's better for you to sit on Temple Street, General, and I'll go to Irkutsk for you!" Tan Shaoguang felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.

"This time the two of us are separated, I also have considerations, the battlefield is now divided into east and west, and it must be coordinated separately. One of us is in charge of the west and the other is in charge of the east, which is just right. Guo Xing'a said a deeper meaning to Tan Shaoguang.

"It's the same with me going to Irkutsk for you! After the capture of Irkutsk, there will be no major battles on the Western Front, that is, to arrange defense and prevent the Russian army from counterattacking, there is no need for you to go in person. Tan Shaoguang just felt uncomfortable, and his intuition told him that he couldn't let Guoxinga go to the Western Front.

"You don't know what kind of virtue Bozhtu is? He's staring at your throne as Chief of the General Staff! Ji Ying and him have an old relationship, if he is sincere and provocative, can you suppress him? Only if I pass, Bozhtu will be honest and obedient. The rain on the eastern front will not sell you face, and Chengtai and Acton have nothing to say, so you should honestly fight on the eastern front! "Guo Xing'a is actually not very transparent about interpersonal relationships, but he has been staring at the thorn of Bo Ritu.

"The general is thoughtful, but let's bring more people!" Tan Shaoguang also knows that what Guo Xing'a said is reasonable, among several old qualifications, Ji Ying is a little confused, Bi Yuntao has no intention of pursuing a career in recent years, but this Bo Ritu is not honest.

Bo Ritu has always felt that he is talented and qualified, and he is not convinced by anyone in the Manchurian military circles except Guoxing'a, and he still has some complaints about Tan Shaoguang as chief of the General Staff. There is no way to compare talent to who is higher or lower, Bo Ritu always talks about qualifications, in his own words, when he Bo Ritu followed Guoxing A saddle before and after, Tan Shaoguang was still a long hair! What qualifications are there to be in front of him! Therefore, if Tan Shaoguang really goes to the Western Front, Bo Ritu will make trouble, and with Ji Ying, who is biased towards Bo Ritu, Tan Shaoguang will definitely not be able to get off the stage at that time.

"Well, well! The dispatch just now remains the same, isn't there still more than 10,000 mercenaries in the battle sequence of the Fourth Army Group! I'll take them with me, and I'll get 30,000 people to protect me, so you should rest assured! "The Japanese mercenaries have been doing chores under the Fourth Army Group, and Guo Xinga is going to take these little devils to see the scenery of the grassland.

"It's fine, but the general should be careful along the way! The radio must be kept unblocked, and the whole army must not leave your guidance at all times! Tan Shaoguang saw that Guo Xing'a was resolute, so he could only agree, after all, except that he felt a little strange, he really couldn't say that there was any danger on the Western Front.

"Just wait and see me command a battle of Irkutsk! Haha......" Goxinga laughed, he just went to Baikal for a walk, in his heart it was also a trip.

However, it was also not beautiful, and Guo Xing'a had just embarked on the journey to the west after two days of preparation, and his liaison airship received a telegram from Ji Ying. The 3rd and 5th Army Groups combined to capture Irkutsk, the capital of Tsarist Russia in East Siberia, in only three hours, and Malevich led the remnants of his troops to flee to Kilensk. Goxinga, who received the telegram, was inevitably a little distracted, but Kharbala in Tomsk was directing the battle at the top of his voice.
