The Japanese were forced to defend this time and suffered heavy losses, they had already used the nearest civilians and servant troops and servant soldiers to plug the loopholes, their fierce attack, the ferocity of the Russians' attack, and the situation of the two sides was endless.

The Japanese paid a heavy price for taking the enemy's forward positions, but it did not deprive the Russians of the ability to fight again.

Before their attack arrived, the Russians withdrew all their heavy artillery and baggage to the mountainous areas in the rear, retreated more than 20 miles, leaving nearly a million Siberian Russian expatriates and local indigenous serfs, as well as military personnel, retreating everywhere on the 100-kilometer defense line, while blocking the Japanese, using the terrain to kill and injure the Japanese, before the arrival of the Japanese and the Great Qing Kingdom, the Russians operated here for more than ten years, and they were more familiar with this place, Therefore, the Japanese had to send more civilians and militia into the mountains, forests, rivers, and ravines to search for these people.

This greatly restrained most of the manpower and strength of the Japanese, the power to transport supplies, and build defensive lines, so they could only stop the attack, stop on the original defensive line of the Russians, count casualties, and regroup their forces.

Merlinyu got the report that this time the Mongols lost more than 300 rangers, the Qing Dynasty lost more than 50 probing messengers, the Japanese lost nearly 200,000 Nanyang native soldiers, as well as 780,000 Nanyang native people, Southeast Asian servant army lost 110,000 people, 20,000 people, more than 30,000 other servant troops and people, and the Japanese themselves lost more than 100,000 troops.

But fortunately, they captured a lot of Russian prisoners, serfs, as well as adventurers, military personnel, built fortifications, and transported materials to these people, and on the other hand, the Japanese also lost 80,000 troops, similar to the servant army and civilian population, so that the Japanese could use a lot less cannon fodder.

As the search of the mountains and forests and other places was extended, the next day, hundreds of people went missing or died every hour, and nearly three or four thousand people were lost in one day.

As the war progressed, the Japanese sent Goguryeo people to carve out a road in the mountains and forests, and sent 100,000 Goguryeo troops, 10,000 Japanese, 30,000 Southeast Asian natives, and 50,000 captured Russian captives to open up another battlefield in the rugged terrain between the two Japanese fronts.

The three battlefields went hand in hand, and the Japanese sent a mobile unit to make a detour to open another battlefield behind the Russian barracks and cut off the Russians' retreat.

On the Russian side, according to the reports of the spies who came back, the Russians lost at least 200,000 local expatriates and serfs, adventurers, horse bandits, and 200,000 troops, which is almost a third of the strength of the Russian expeditionary force.

The Cossack cavalry over there lost about 2,000 men, the Polish cavalry 3,000, the Swedish infantry 110,000, and the men and various auxiliaries they brought with them lost 70,000 or 80,000 people, and the position was completely lost.

Japan needs to mobilize more people to come in to replenish troops and supplies, and the Russians have traveled more than 3,000 kilometers and need more supplies of materials and manpower, so the two sides have not fought again for half a month, and the Japanese are busy consolidating their positions and transporting supplies, and the Russians are the same.

Half a month later, the Japanese began to mobilize the people of Southeast Asia who still had the strength to fight to the front line to clear and occupy the mountains, forests, and ravines, and sent cavalry to explore the enemy, and the Goguryeo people immigrated 300,000 to the rear of the battle line to fill the gaps.

In the battle of the small units that were constantly captured, the Japanese gathered the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Nanyang natives, captured 80,000 soldiers, and 50,000 Southeast Asian soldiers, and took the lead in the attack.

The Russians did the same, with auxiliary forces, local natives, serfs to fight against the Japanese attack.

Both sides strangled each other's cannon fodder in front, the Russians defended, the Japanese attacked, compared to manpower, the Russians were inferior, and they also sent captured prisoners in as cannon fodder.

The two sides lost nearly 300,000 servant troops in half a month of fighting, the Japanese cleared the fortifications and obstacles built by the Russians in front, and then launched a frontal attack, the artillery fire opened the way, behind the Southeast Asian people consumed the enemy's artillery fire, behind the Southeast Asian servant army followed to capture the enemy's frontline defense, and in the back Goguryeo soldiers attacked, mixed with a small group of Japanese soldiers in the middle, and finally the Japanese 50,000 troops.

The battle line has expanded to three hundred and fifty miles, the Japanese attacked with cannon fodder and civilians, cleaned up, the main force followed behind, the Russians resisted step by step, and finally it took half a month to hit the front of the main position of the Russians, and then the cannon fodder was consumed, the Russians even the last logistics soldiers, the people were pulled up, and the two sides fought from the age of firearms to the primitive era, until the Japanese had nearly 300,000 troops, including 150,000 Goguryeo soldiers, 30,000 Southeast Asian soldiers, 10,000 Nanyang natives, and 100,000 Japanese soldiers were successfully outflanked in place, to launch an attack in one fell swoop.

After half a month of fighting, the Russian expeditionary force was defeated, a 50-mile-wide and 30-kilometer-long opening was opened, and the Japanese surrounded the Poles and Swedes behind the Poles and Swedes, and the Poles and Swedes fled in a hurry, and the two sides pursued and killed one on a front more than 300 kilometers long.

The Japanese finally defeated the Russian Expeditionary Force, and then released their forces to capture Dongberia, which lasted for two months, completely eliminated the Russian Expeditionary Force and forces in Dongberia, wiped out 1.5 million Russians and 300,000 Polish and Swedish expeditionary forces, and took East Siberia.

However, the Japanese also paid the price of 300,000 dead and 300,000 wounded.

110,000 Japanese people died, and the followers and people of the Heavenly Sect were all wiped out, leaving 200,000 people in Nanyang and 110,000 people and 30,000 troops in Southeast Asia.

Meilinyu sent the report to Yanjing, Zhang Qiang sent an envoy to the Qing State, the people of Southeast Asia and the people of Nanyang moved to Zhongbirian, and the servant armies of the two were also transferred to Zhongbolia to continue to contribute to the Russian expeditionary force of the Qing Dynasty's attack on Zhongbelia, until the death of the party, the population of Goguryeo moved from Dongberia to Zhongbirian, the Goguryeo servants were dispatched by the Great Qing State, Japan sent 300,000 people to support Zhongbirian, 50,000 troops to support Zhongbirian, and then the Qing Dynasty wanted to take Zhongbirian like the Japanese.

And the remaining Japanese people and forces strengthened the East Siberian line, and the soldiers continued to attack above Mesoberia, destroying everyone who saw even a single Russian.

According to the statistics sent by Lu Bao, at this time, the Japanese had only 2.8 million people left, and after discarding the 800,000 troops who were reckless, 600,000 of these 800,000 troops had basically lost their combat effectiveness, and sent 50,000 to support the Qing Dynasty, sent 100,000 people to attack the upper part of Middle Siberia, and the remaining 100,000 troops and 2 million old and weak women and children built settlements in Eastern Siberia, occupied cities, walled cities, and recuperated.

Zhang Qiang was very satisfied with his order, in the bitter cold zone of nearly 1,000 kilometers in length and 900 kilometers in width, the Japanese nation, which lacked young people, was afraid that it would freeze to death again this winter, and many people would starve to death.

At that time, they will be Japanese tribal peoples on the ice field.
