Chapter 367: The Hubei Army Insults the Eight Banners
In the area of the battle in the Jiangdong region of Heilongjiang, the 190,000-strong Hubei Army was unified and organized into the First Army of the Far Eastern Front, with Gorodaikov as the commander of the group army and Gribsky as the deputy commander of the group army.
These two people can be described as difficult brothers, first proud and careless, but they were beaten by the Jiangdong Division of the Chinese Army, lost tens of thousands of horses, and were directly scolded as "stupid" by the Tsar Prince, if it was the European part of the Oros Empire near Moscow, the two might be sent to the gallows.
Fortunately, these two men were very familiar with the situation in the Far East, which was considered one of the few Far Eastern connections in the Oros bureaucracy, and although they had lost the trust of the Tsar, at the suggestion of Aleksayev of the Front, they were retained as the chief and deputy commanders of the group army, commanding the offensive in the Jiangdong region.
This pair of brothers and sisters almost emptied the reserve of the Amur Provincial Region, and the number of troops had reached 190,000, but the attack on the Jiangdong region was very unsmooth, and they were beaten again and again by the Jiangdong Division.
After receiving the decree of the Tsar of the Oros Empire declaring an all-out war on the Chinese Empire, Gorodeikov jumped up for joy and said to Gribsky: "Great, we can have a big fight without any scruples!" ”
"We immediately rushed into the territory of the Huaxia Empire in two ways, surrounded the Jiangdong region from the flank, wiped out this hateful yellow army, and then advanced the whole army to the southwest, so that the soldiers would make a little fortune!" Gribsky's eyes lit up, and he didn't know how many of his subordinates proposed to him that they wanted to rush into the territory of the Chinese Empire to burn and plunder in order to boost morale, and this all-out declaration of war was to announce that they could storm the territory of China and rob openly.
After some maneuvering, Gorodikov and Gribsky finally came up with a battle plan for attacking the Jiangdong region in a roundabout way and attacking separately and together.
According to this operational plan, the two Hubei army units that crossed the Heilongjiang River and outflanked the Jiangdong region in a roundabout way to the area controlled by the Huaxia Army were:
The Heilongjiang Left Detachment, with a strength of 37,000 troops, led by Lieutenant General Zasulic of the Hubei Army's infantry, forcibly crossed the Heilongjiang River on the south side of the Jiangdong region and rushed into the area actually controlled by the Huaxia Army.
The Heilongjiang Right Detachment, with a strength of 34,000 troops, was personally led by Gribsky, deputy commander of the group army, and forcibly crossed the Heilongjiang River on the north side of the Jiangdong region to outflank the Jiangdong region.
These two units are about the same in number, but there is a major difference, the left detachment is mainly infantry, and the right detachment is mainly cavalry.
In this plan, Gribsky deliberately left a selfish motive: the cavalry troops marched quickly, could strike quickly at the enemy, and could also use the fastest speed to loot in densely populated areas of China, which meant that it was more efficient than infantry robbery, and there were obviously many more chances to make a fortune.
On the night of the day when the Oros Empire openly declared war on the Chinese Empire, the Oros army first bombarded the other side of the Heilongjiang River with intensive artillery fire for half an hour, and then dispatched troops to force the crossing.
The strange thing is that the Jiang'an position of the Huaxia Emperor's ** team was as silent as death, and there was no counterattack.
But the Hubei army took this for granted from bottom to top, because in their minds, the yellow race is synonymous with cowardice and incompetence, and the yellow race like the Jiangdong region is estimated to be the most backbone yellow race in the whole of China, and all these backbone yellow people are eliminated, and no one dares to resist the hundreds of millions of people in the entire China.
Except for a small number of officers who were still a little cautious, all of them crossed the Heilongjiang River in a boat with a non-disappointing attitude.
Not only did the Hubei army not meet any resistance along the riverbank, but also did not encounter any resistance on the way to the army, and even the villages and towns along the road did not even meet a single figure.
The Hubei soldiers frantically rushed into the homes of the residents, but they did not see anyone.
Where did all these people go?
The Hubei army quickly found the answer, and found the Eight Banners personnel who still had big braids in some forests.
According to the accounts of these Eight Banners, the Chinese Empire seemed to be somewhat prepared for the declaration of war in Oros, but this preparation was to ask the local residents to leave their homes to avoid the fighting.
Most of the local residents left their homes, but these Eight Banners personnel refused to leave, so they stayed, welcoming the arrival of the Hubei army.
There were even the widows of the Eight Banners who begged the Hubei army to issue them weapons and let them fight with the Hubei army, overthrowing the Chinese Empire and re-establishing the Qing Empire.
From the mouths of the personnel of the Eight Banners, the Hubei army could not get any valuable information at all, and the Hubei army scoffed at the proposal of the old and young remnants of the Eight Banners to take weapons to fight with the Hubei army, and simply ignored it.
The Hubei army couldn't tell the difference between the Eight Banners and other Chinese people, and many Hubei soldiers didn't know the difference between the Qing Dynasty with braids and the Chinese Empire without braids, and thought that these Eight Banners were left by the Chinese Empire to be spies.
However, these Eight Banners still have a little use value in the end, that is, to do coolies, the Hubei army drove them all to carry heavy artillery, and the looted property was also moved away to these Eight Banners.
This time, the children of the Eight Banners who stayed in place to meet the Hubei army were unlucky, and many pampered people were also forced to do the hard work of carrying and lifting.
When they were working, many people did not work hard, and they were beaten by the leather whips of the Hubei army until their skin was open and their faces were bleeding.
The most intolerable thing is that the woman of the Eight Banners did not go far, hid in place, and was discovered by the Hubei army.
The ability of these old hairy people is very strong, and when they found the Eight Banners women, they were ** burned, and rushed up to catch these poor Eight Banners women, whether they were old or young, all of them were naked and opened the wheel on the spot.
The remnants of the Eight Banners still dream of relying on the strength of Oros to re-enter the Central Plains and resume their riding on the heads of the people of the Central Plains for more than 200 years.
Who would have thought that the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was far away in Moscow, would not be able to negotiate terms with the top echelons of the Oros Tsar at all, and the Oros army in the Far East would simply ignore them and do whatever they had to do.
After being reincarnated, the women of the Eight Banners committed suicide one after another, such as hanging, diving, and swallowing opium, and passed away in humiliation.
This is the old and young remnants of the Eight Banners who committed their own crimes, making themselves the first victims after the Oros army rushed into the territory of China.
The Hubei army not only took the turn of the women of the Eight Banners, but also looted the property and food of the old and young people of the Eight Banners.
At this time, the remnants of the Eight Banners found that although Huaxia Jun overthrew their rule and their hardcore crops were gone, they at least had one life left, as long as they were incognito, did not publicize that their ancestors were the Eight Banners, and worked hard in a down-to-earth manner, they could still eat a mouthful of food, and even make some money to make a fortune. But now surrendering to the Hubei army is asking for hardship.
Of course, the Hubei army would not take the anger of the Eight Banners seriously, and they drove the strong men of the Eight Banners as coolies and continued to advance, intending to outflank the Jiangdong region from the flank.
