When the high-level leaders of the Chinese Empire were in the capital to make decisions on how to conduct a war with Ororos, the battle of Jiangdong Sixty-four Tun in the middle of the two major rivers of the Jieya River and Heilongjiang River had been going on for nine days and nine nights.

Lu Guanying commanded the Jiangdong Division and repelled the Hubei army for an unknown number of attacks, anyway, as long as the Hubei army opened artillery or attacked by sneak attack, it had to be repulsed.

This is different from the Jiangdong Division's active attack on the weak links of the Hubei army, which is purely a desperate defense like gnawing bones, so the results achieved are far less than those that take the initiative to attack, and the Jiangdong Division's casualties and losses are also very large, killing more than 20,000 Hubei troops, but also more than 6,000 casualties themselves.

This is different from the last time to take the initiative to attack, most of the attacks are the miscellaneous units or reserves of the Hubei army, and the combat effectiveness is not strong, and it was not expected that this small "Jiangdong native" would break the old rules of a hundred years and suddenly take the initiative to attack, therefore, the Hubei army suffered more than 40,000 casualties, while the Jiangdong division suffered no more than 1,000 casualties, and the proportion of casualties is very alarming.

However, whether it was the initiative to attack or the Jiangdong Division to hold its position, it completely broke the myth of the so-called "one white soldier is equal to three yellow soldiers", but this also caused the Hubei army to hate the Jiangdong Division, and concentrated more than 100,000 elite troops to press from three sides, bringing great danger to the Jiangdong Division.

Due to the triangular terrain of the confluence of the Jieya River and the Heilongjiang River, the Hubei army could only attack on a large scale from the north, while the east was separated by the Jieya River, which could only be used as an auxiliary direction for the attack, and the west was to cross the Heilongjiang River into the territory of the Chinese Empire.

Before the order of the Tsar of Oros, with the arrogance of the Oros army, he did not dare to cross the Heilongjiang River and enter the territory of the Chinese Empire at will, which meant that it was a full-scale war against the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire was completely different from the Qing court, and its reaction was really unpredictable, and no one was willing to take such a responsibility.

But from the day the Oros Tsar declared war on the Chinese Empire, the Oros army no longer had any scruples, anyway, it declared war, which was a matter at the national level.

In the early hours of the morning, the Hubei army forcibly crossed the Heilongjiang River, rushed into the depth of Huaxia territory, and outflanked the back of Jiangdong's 64 Tun in a roundabout way, in an attempt to completely cut off the connection between the Jiangdong Division and the Huaxia Army.

The phone in the Northeast Theater Command Headquarters rang non-stop, and he asked the commander-in-chief Liang Kunri for instructions:

"Lao Maozi has entered our defense zone, what should we do?"

"Did you hit the fuck?"

"Just ask the commander-in-chief to give the order to fight back!"

Busy answering the phone were a few staff officers, Liang Kunri sat motionless on the side like an old monk, he just nagged: "Nima's, it's okay if you don't have a phone, after having this wired and sound phone, it's convenient, but it's really annoying!" ”

Chief of Staff Peng Xinghan walked over with a large pile of emergency military information collected from all over the country, and said without worry: "Commander-in-chief, this time the Hubei army is menacing, and 60,000 or 70,000 Hubei troops in the Jiangdong area have forcibly crossed the Heilongjiang River, and they have made a detour to the Jiangdong area by two routes, of which the north road crosses the river at Shangmachang and is rushing to the south, and the south road is crossing the river at Aihui, and is rushing towards the north. ”

Liang Kunri was very unimpressed by this: "This is expected! What about our mobilization in these places? ”

"The people of the big villages within 500 kilometers of the battlefield have been notified to retreat, but these places are vast and sparsely populated, and there are always a few small villages that are not notified in place, and there are some people who originally belonged to the Eight Banners who are not very willing to follow our advice to take refuge temporarily, and now our cavalry is running desperately to let the people take shelter temporarily!"

"Hmph, these people of the Eight Banners have lost their former glory and wealth because of the fall of the Qing court, and they hate us to death, maybe they will raise their hands to welcome the arrival of the Oros, and under the call of Cixi, they directly surrendered to the Oros. Forget it, then they will know how wrong they are. These remnants of the Eight Banners, they can't fight, but if the military information is leaked, we have to be careful! ”

"You can rest assured of this, I have already made arrangements, and our people are wary of these Eight Banners!"

"That's good! What is going on in the other directions of our theater of operations! ”

"The Hubei army in Xingkai Lake is in action, in addition to sending people and horses to the north to reinforce the Jiangdong region, there is also the intention to attack our territory in the direction of Xingkai Lake, although the Hubei army in the direction of Mohe is not much, but it has been reinforced by the Hubei army in the direction of Baikal, and it is possible to carry out a surprise attack on our domestic territory in the near future, and there is also that the Japanese army in Goryeo is about to move, and it is estimated that the Hubei army has declared war on us, and it will soon attack north!"

"Okay, they're all here, this time the Japanese army won't be so lucky, we're going to let them all come back!" Liang Kunri stood up from the stool, took two steps, and said, "We still have to observe for a day to see how the Hubei army in Xingkai Lake moves, and then decide whether our army will take decisive action!" During this period, will the Jiangdong Division be able to hold on for a day? ”

"In the bloody battle during this period of time, the Jiangdong Division suffered heavy casualties, and even Lu Guanying had been wounded three times, but because the Heilongjiang passage was in our hands, the reinforced materials and personnel were continuously sent up at night, and the wounded and sick have all been withdrawn, and the current Jiangdong Division has more than 17,000 troops, and the weapons and ammunition are enough to continue the high-intensity combat for a week! If there are no accidents, even if you are surrounded on all sides, you can still hold out for more than three days. ”

Liang Kunri nodded and said: "Okay, let Lu Guanying and the others hold their positions to the death, and wait until the main force of our Northeast Theater of Operations to start counterattacking!" ”

At this time in Vladivostok, Admiral Yevgeny Ivanovich Aleksayev, commander of the Far Eastern Front and commander of the Pacific Fleet, Governor Plenipotentiary of the Far East, officially took office and began to give orders to his subordinate troops under the authorization of the Tsar Crown Prince.

Aleksayev is an arrogant and domineering man, he likes to have the final say on his own, and now with the authorization of the Tsar, he is even more arrogant.

His first order was to remove Vice Admiral Skrydlov, whom he did not like, from his post as deputy commander of the Pacific Fleet, and appoint his close confidant, Vice Admiral Stark, deputy commander of the Pacific Fleet, to command the operations of the Pacific Fleet.

The second order was to appoint Lieutenant General Lynevich as Chief of Staff of the Far Eastern Front, to assist him in commanding the Army.

The third order was to order the Hubei army troops that were to support the Jieya River Theater from the north of Xingkai Lake to immediately stop and move to the west to advance deep into the territory of Huaxia.

In Aleksayev's view, there was no need to go north for reinforcements, as long as he rushed into the depths of the Chinese territory and cut off all the support in the Jiangdong region, all resistance would disappear. (To be continued.) )
