Bishkek is separated from Kurdai, the current border city of Great Yuz, by a tributary of the Chu River, which divides Bishkek and Kurdai in two, and then flows westward into the Moingum Desert.

The two cities are very close, very close!

In order not to provoke the Kokand people too much, and also to prevent the Kokand people from becoming too vigilant, Abilis Khan only deployed a new military camp in Kurdai, on the other side of Bishkek.

For the city of Bishkek, which has more than 10,000 residents, a new military camp of more than 500 people is obviously not a threat.

But in recent times, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of Kurdai's Great Yuz army. In particular, yesterday afternoon, the Great Yuz sent a notice to Bishkek, demanding that the Kokand army in Bishkek surrender before 8 o'clock this morning, otherwise the flames of war would ignite, and they would not be blamed for their lack of eyes.

Everyone knows what that means. War is finally coming!

For ten years, the Seven Khanates, which had gained a firm foothold, showed their minions to the south. And they also have the support of the behemoth of China behind them.

But this is the way of the world today, where the law of the jungle eats the strong, and a country is like a beast in the jungle, without benevolence and morality.

There are only interests between countries and countries!

Of course, the Kokand people would not surrender so easily, and the Great Yuz people had already prepared. In the early morning when the sun had just risen in the east, when the reply of the Kokand Khanate was handed over to the army of the Great Yuz, the soldiers of the new military camp rushed from Kurdai to the opposite shore in small boats.

The Kokand Khanate did not place artillery positions on the other side of the Melk River, the creek was less than thirty meters wide, and there was no defensive value at all. But the Kokand Khanate would not have even been left without sentinels.

Before the small boat set off with the new army of Da Yuz, the artillery position deployed by Da Yuz on the north bank of the Melk River aimed at the Kokand cavalry on the south bank.

However, when the battle crossed the Melk River and approached Bishkek, the progress suddenly slowed down.

The main body of the Kokand fortifications was, of course, the Bishkek fortress, but a number of small positions were also set up on the periphery of the fortress as nodes of resistance. Moreover, the Russians, having lived through the last war, have learned enough lessons that they are fully aware of the power of concrete permanent buildings in this day and age.

As for the steel bar, the Russians do not have much, but the iron steel is still quite abundant. After the Russians smashed the basic plate of the steel industry laid down for them by Peter the Great, Catherine II and Paul I invested heavily in rebuilding Russia's steel base. So there is no shortage of iron in Russia. Cement, Russia is even less lacking.

In the Ural Mountains there is volcanic ash and limestone.

The vast majority of what the Bishkek fortress needed was sold by Russia to Kokand. Not to mention that Kokand can get money, even if it can't get gold, Russia will give it.

With reinforced concrete fortifications, it is equivalent to having a solid shell, and on this basis, the distribution of gun fire and the coordinated action of various arms can play a very important role in the defense of combat equipment.

And the attack of the Great Yuzi army, on the basis of having a longer range artillery, must also turn this artillery into a heavy artillery, so as to crack the turtle shell of the defenders.

A permanent fortification can make such a big difference.

Dayuz did not get too close to the city of Bishkek, they only had the strength of a small new military camp, and they could defeat the tens of thousands of Kokand troops in Bishkek, and it would not take much effort for the soldiers and horses stationed in the Bishkek fortress to devour them.

After crossing the Melk River, they advanced two miles and then organized their defenses on the spot to await the arrival of the follow-up forces. In Kurdai, two regiments of the new army of the Great Yuz and more than 5,000 cavalrymen of the Great Yuz had already set off and were hurrying towards the Melk River.

At the same time, an engineer battalion in Dayyuz was tensely erecting a pontoon bridge over the Melk River.

The Dayuzi troops, who successfully crossed the river, only needed to guard the opposite bank and ensure that the engineer troops erected a few pontoon bridges over the river, and their task was completed.

An infantry army of tens of thousands of men crossed the Melk River, and together with a large amount of logistical baggage, it took a whole day to cross the Merk River, and the person who commanded this force was a Chinese.

Pan Chang was transferred back to Northern Xinjiang from the West Sea half a year ago, and now he assumes the pseudonym of Hamusi and serves as the de facto commander-in-chief of the army of the Great Yuz Khanate.

Behind their more than 10,000 foot cavalry, there is also a force of more than 20,000 troops, mainly cavalry, not only the Dayuzi civilian army, but also a small part of the Zhongyuzi soldiers and horses, and the person leading the troops is also a Chinese - Dong Wei.

Chen Han is a young Zhuang faction, Chen Ming is training them all the time.

"Sub-seat, the Kokand people in the city of Bishkek have all been mobilized. Yesterday we were also trying to launch an offensive against our troops. Dozens of corpses were left behind......," a battalion commander in the new army of Da Yuzi reported to Dong Wei. At the same time as he reported, the five pontoon bridges on the Melk River were constantly passing cavalry to the opposite bank, and ships were also hurrying to deliver artillery and ammunition to the opposite bank every minute.

Two new regiments, more than 5,000 cavalry, a new barracks, and more than 20,000 cavalry, the Kazakh army in front of the Bishkek fortress has exceeded 32,000 people.

On the opposite side of them, the city of Bishkek, with a population of 10,000, mobilized its militia to fight with all its might. Coupled with the original tens of thousands of Kokand infantry cavalry troops, the troops were on the defensive, and the situation did not seem to be weaker than that of Da Yuz.

Front-line command.

Another three days passed, and Pan Chang, Dong Wei, and a group of Chinese and Kazakh officers gathered around the large military map on the table, listening to the military report of the combat staff officer amid the rumbling of artillery in the distance.

The real offensive battle started yesterday morning!!

After a sneak attack by the defenders of Kokand, Pan Chang ordered the artillery to open fire and return fire.

Nuryirta Razadul, the deputy chief of the general staff of Da Yuz, who was born in a great aristocrat and was also the first batch of military academy cadets in China in Da Yuz, pointed to the map with his baton and said: "At present, the situation of position No. 4 is relatively stable, but it is worth noting that in the evening, the scouts found that a Kokand infantry cavalry had arrived at position No. 6 behind its flank. There seem to be signs of reinforcement in the area. ”

The map is centered on the Bishkek Fortress, and in the north of the Bishkek Fortress, there are a total of seven small flags, which are the seven positions arranged by the Kokand army on the periphery of the fortress.

Each position was small, but there was a solid offensive and several long-range large-caliber guns. If the seven small positions on the periphery are not taken and the army attacks the Bishkek fortress, it is to take the initiative to seek death. Because the offensive line was completely covered by the crossfire of these positions.

During this period, position No. 4 was the area where the fighting was most intense, and since two o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Kazakh coalition forces have invested a total of four new battalions to attack the Kokand army's defensive line, losing more than 200 soldiers. And according to conservative estimates, the Kokand Army also put at least one new barracks into position No. 4, and there was also a considerable amount of artillery support.

According to the battle reports from the front, in the past four hours, the coalition forces have launched one battalion-level attack, and then as many as seven team-level attacks, and two of the eight attacks touched the positions of the Kokand army, that is, they were forced back by the Kokand army in bayonet battles. But the Kokand army had already been forced to withdraw from the second line of defense at 4 a.m., fearing that the Kazakh coalition would launch another attack before dawn. In that case, they wouldn't be able to hold the broken pit line. Now the Kokand Army has only the last line of defense left in position No. 4.

However, the situation on the side of the No. 3 position, which was parallel to the No. 4 position, was worse, the battalion officer, instructor and two team officers in charge of the attack were killed one after another, the battalion deputy was seriously wounded, and only one staff officer was left to support the battalion headquarters, and the total casualties of the new barracks had reached 200 people, and the hexagonal guns attached to the new barracks also lost two and half of the rocket crew. It can be said that the entire battalion has lost its combat effectiveness.

If you don't want it to collapse, you have to take it down and recuperate.

The rest of the troops did not launch a strong attack, but the situation is stable at present!

After Nuryirta Razadur finished speaking, the regiment of the 4th Regiment of Dayuz on the side said: "At present, our army may have made the greatest breakthrough in position No. 4. As long as there can be a smooth progress, our troops will be able to divide the Kokand army positions outside Bishkek in two. After cutting, we can surround them with forces, and then concentrate artillery on the Bishkek fortress without stopping. If the Kokand army can endure it, we will consume it with them. If they can't help it, let them crawl out and die. "Anyway, the Seven Khanates had the support of China behind them in this war, and all the military supplies were very sufficient - on the eve of the war, truckloads of arms and ammunition kept being transported into the arsenal built by the Great Yuz people, which was large enough to rearm the entire Great Yuz army. Even if necessary, Nanjing could send volunteers.

The Kazakhs are very confident.

Bishkek is a city built on a riverside plain, and the surrounding area is very limited and can be called strategically important, and it is not possible to surround it.

After all, because of the topography and the lack of troops trapped in their hands, it was impossible for the Kokand army to play a large and deep defensive position group around the fortress of Bishkek.

And as time passes, on the side of the Kazakh coalition, more and more heavy artillery and rockets will be transferred from the rear to the front line. Big Yuz has enough time and strength to deal with Bishkek.

……

Inside the city of Bishkek at the moment.

Banquets large and small are one after another. The elders of the Heavenly Fang Sect frequently appeared on the streets. These people from the upper echelons of society do their best to inflame the anger of the common people over the present 'difficult situation', to stir up public opinion and stir up the mood of the population. In this way, more people can join the people's army on their own initiative.

Muhammad Omar, who was personally in Bishkek, hosted an evening party at the Achimbok Mansion in Bishkek, the highlight of which was a walkway led by local elders to pray to the true God at the Tianfang Mosque not far from the Akim Burk Mansion.

Then there was the proclamation of Muhammad Umar himself: "The great and true God leads us, and the holy Kokand Khanate will never submit to the traitors of the true God." From the Pamirs to the Caspian Sea, violence cannot overwhelm our hearts!

Let the true God give us strength and bless His faithful followers. Let those bold and arrogant Yuzi people tremble. The Kokand Khanate was invincible. ”

The entire Bishkek aristocrats, officials, military men and businessmen who attended the party were excited. The fact that Dayuz had not been able to break through the outlying positions of Bishkek in two days gave them a great encouragement.
