Chapter 215: Besieging Uriya Sutai

Putting aside the changes in the high-level after receiving the news, when the Han Kingdom counterattacked Yuben, in fact, the Han Kingdom was also at war with the Russians in the northern region. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Han Kingdom has just unified the whole country for a short time, with the support of the industrial base of Siqi, in a short period of time, the Han Kingdom can start a war with the Four-Nation Alliance, let alone now only start a war with Russia and the two countries.

……

There is a city in the Tangnu Ulianghai area, called Uriya Sutai, which is the center of Tangnu Ulianghai during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and when Russia invaded the Tangnu Ulianghai area, Russia also took Uriya Sutai as the ruling center of the Tangnu Ulianghai area, and expanded and renovated the city of Uriya Sutai, and in a few years, many Russians came to settle in Tangnu Ulianghai.

Originally, Russia's rule over the Tangnu-Ulianghai area was very solid, after all, if it occupied the Tangnu-Ulianghai area, a tragic massacre was carried out against the residents of the Tangnu-Ulianghai area, resulting in the original residents of the Tangnu-Ulianghai area were either slaughtered by the Russians or fled from the Tangnu-Ulianghai area, and then many Russians poured into the Tangnu-Ulianghai area, and Russia's rule over the Tangnu-Ulianghai area was of course stable.

But now everything has changed.

Lieutenant General Kuropatkin led more than 61,000 people of the Russian Western Route Army from the Tangnu-Ulianghai area and entered the Kobdo area, but he was defeated and returned, and the four powerful Cossack cavalry divisions were all gone, and Lieutenant General Kuropatkin fled back to the city of Uriya Sutai with less than 13,000 Russian soldiers who were about to lose their weapons.

A few days later, the cavalry of the Han army appeared in the city of Uriya Sutai, but after a few circles around the city of Uriya Sutai, they left.

The battle with the Blue Dragon Army made Lieutenant General Kuropatkin feel the strength of the Han army, and the ferocious firepower was not something that the Russian army could resist at all, and Lieutenant General Kuropatkin's only idea was to block the Han army with this Uriya Sutai City, and at the same time ask for help from Moscow and the Russian Central Route Army.

It's just that Russia's territory is vast and the transmission of information is inconvenient, and if reinforcements arrive, it will be at least two months later, and Lieutenant General Kuropatkin can only do everything possible to increase his strength, and even the Russian residents living in Uriya Sutai City have been recruited to build the entire Uriya Sutai City into a war fortress.

The only thing that made Lieutenant General Kuropatkin happy was that the city of Uriya Sutai had enough weapons, ammunition and food, which were all supplied by the Russian Western Route Army.

Three days after the Han cavalry appeared in Uriya Sutai City, the Blue Dragon Legion finally arrived at Uriya Sutai City, but the Blue Dragon Legion did not immediately attack Uriya Sutai City after arriving at Uriya Sutai City, but surrounded Uriya Sutai City, and all the guns of the Blue Dragon Legion were aimed at Uriya Sutai City.

Subsequently, Niu Dehou, the commander of the Blue Dragon Legion, sent a Russian prisoner to Lieutenant General Kuropatkin, demanding that the Russian army surrender unconditionally, otherwise the city of Uriya Sutai would be razed.

Although the Russian Western Route Army led by Lieutenant General Kuropatkin was defeated at the hands of the Blue Dragon Army led by Niu Dehou, the arrogant Lieutenant General Kuropatkin did not look down on the Chinese at all and did not want to surrender to the Chinese.

Seeing this, Niu Dehou decided to give Lieutenant General Kuropatkin a little bit of a powerful look.

The two 105-mm howitzer regiments owned by the Blue Dragon Regiment plus the 75-mm field guns belonging to each brigade and regiment, a total of more than 200 artillery pieces fired at the city of Uriya Sutai, and the shells rained down, and I don't know how many Russians died in the shelling.

With so many Russians dead, Lieutenant General Kuropatkin not only did not have the idea of surrendering, but was more determined to hold the city of Uriya Sutai, and the city of Uriya Sutai was also relatively strong under the expansion of the Russians, and the shelling of the Blue Dragon Legion did not blow up a single city wall.

"How can Lao Maozi's city wall be built so strongly, the power of this 105mm howitzer is not enough, I'm afraid it takes a 150mm howitzer to make a bang, but where can Lao Tzu find a 150mm howitzer?" In the headquarters of the Blue Dragon Legion, Niu Dehou scolded.

If you can't blow up the walls of a city of Uriya Sutai, I'm afraid you will need the Han soldiers to fill it with their lives in order to take down this war fortress, which Niu Dehou doesn't want to see.

Yan Xueyi once said to the officers of the Han army that he did not want to see the soldiers of the Han army die in vain, and if he could solve it with the weapons in his hands, he must not use the lives of the soldiers of the Han army to fill it.

In the next few days, the artillery of the Blue Dragon Legion shelled the city of Uriya Sutai many times, although some Russians were killed, but Lieutenant General Kuropatkin did not have the slightest idea of surrendering, but the Russian soldiers died less and less in the shelling of the Blue Dragon Legion, which made Lieutenant General Kuropatkin see the hope of holding on to the city of Uriya Sutai.

"It's not okay to go on like this, next time let the airship send a few 150mm howitzers here, otherwise, when will this turtle shell be broken." Niu Dehou could only ask for assistance from above.

Four days later, the 150mm howitzers that Niu Dehou needed were not delivered, but two bombing airships came, but Niu Dehou knew that with these two airships, Niu Dehou was sure to lead the Blue Dragon Legion to take Uriya Sutai City at a small cost of casualties.

The next day, the Blue Dragon Legion was ready to go, and the two Kunpeng-7 medium-sized airships also slowly flew over Uriya Sutai City.

When the soldiers of the Han Army saw the Kunpeng-7 medium-sized airship in the sky, they knew that this was the airship of the Han Army, and only the Great Han Kingdom in this world had made this kind of airship.

Russian officers and soldiers in the city of Uriya Sutai also saw the Kunpeng-7 medium airship in the sky.

"What's that?" Lieutenant General Kuropatkin said in surprise holding up the telescope.

This is the first time that Lieutenant General Kuropatkin has seen an airship up close, even when the airship came to deliver supplies to the Blue Dragon Legion besieging Uriya Sutai City, it was a long distance away from Uriya Sutai City, and the Russians in Uriya Sutai City could not see the appearance of the airship in the distance clearly, and now, the airship was above them, less than a thousand meters away.

The huge figure of the airship directly covered the sky of Uriya Sutai City, and the Russians in Uriya Sutai City stared at the airship curiously.

However, some Russians felt a deep sense of uneasiness in their hearts, and the big "Han" character on the airship meant that this was something that belonged to the enemy, and what were they going to do?

"This city is not bad, don't blow it up directly, give the old Maozi below a greeting gift first!" The young captain looked at the city of Uriya Sutai below and said.

"Yes, Captain, give them a little fat first!"

A 250-kilogram bomb quickly fell from the airship's gondola to the ground.

Rumble!

A deep crater appeared in the city of Uriya Sutai, and everything around the crater dissipated.

Not long after, a white flag was raised in the city of Uriya Sutai, and the Russians surrendered!
