Gao Qi is right, it is not only the Second Army Corps that is extremely tired now, but also the Russian Army Corps that has gone from the Caucasus region to work harder than the Second Army Corps of the Chinese People's Army.

The Second Army only started from Datong to Bayan to the west of Heilongjiang, a total of only about 5,000 miles, and there was a big rest in Bayan; However, the distance from the Caucasus to the Heilongjiang River valley is much farther than that of the Second Army, and the formation has exceeded 9,000 miles.

Arsenevich, with three divisions plus two Cossack cavalry brigades, traveled all the way, crossed the most inhospitable area of Siberia, and came to Heilongjiang.

Seeing that he has entered the territory of Heilongjiang, crossed the Heihe River, and now is only 500 miles away from Qiqihar Doudou, Arsenivich finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and there will be a maximum of ten days to reach Qiqihar, and then you can rest and recuperate, this long journey is really terrible!

"Order Alsherif to lead the 39th Cavalry Brigade to advance quickly in the direction of Qiqihar, and strive to snatch Qiqihar first, I don't know what happened to the two fools of Manhorov and Valerian along the way, occupy Qiqihar, we will also have a base, and we can advance to the east at any time to find out their news!"

Arsenevich said in a deep voice.

Alsherif on the side hurriedly agreed: "Yes, commander!" ”

Arsherif turned around and went down to gather the Cossack cavalry brigade and prepared to advance towards Qiqihar and occupy Qiqihar!

However, before Alsherif left, the 13th Brigade of the 2nd Army Corps was already in action!

Su Yubiao, the commander of the 13th Brigade, led a brigade of troops to quickly advance towards Qiqihar, preparing to take Qiqihar in one fell swoop, only 300 miles away, for the elite of the Second Army, that is, three or four days, you can rush to Qiqihar!

Moreover, Su Yubiao set off nearly two days earlier than the Cossack cavalry, so naturally he arrived earlier than the Cossack cavalry.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, the 13th Brigade came to the city of Qiqihar, and the city of Qiqihar at this time was completely chaotic! Thousands of elite troops of the Chinese People's Army suddenly appeared in Qiqihar! I can't imagine how this force came over!

"Damn, isn't the Chinese People's Army all in Jiangdong and Jilin? They are nearly a thousand miles away from Qiqihar, how did they get here! Did it fly over? ”

Heilongjiang General Yishan was also completely confused at this time, the Chinese People's Army, this is the existence of overturning the British and French armies, and it is an army of more than 100,000 foreigners, not a few thousand! With such a force, where does the Heilongjiang General Yamen have such a powerful force to confront others?

Yishan knew very well in his heart, just the thousands of people under his command, it was okay to fight a bandit, and he really did it with the Chinese People's Army, but he was afraid that one regiment would clean himself up......

"Someone, immediately go and ask for Colonel Kuzsov!"

Yishan shouted urgently.

Kuztsov had already received the news that Kuztsov had arrived before he had left the general's yamen.

"Colonel Kuztsov, it's going to be bad now, the Chinese People's Army has four or five thousand people at once, where do we have such a strong force in Qiqihar, what can we do?"

Kuztsov's heart is a little heavy, an infantry brigade, that's a joke? Even if the Qiqihar city wall is tall, it will definitely not be able to withstand the bombardment of other people's artillery, as for the Russian army, the Russian army, which is now less than 300 people under its own command, is not enough to stuff people's teeth!

"Now I can only work hard, I will ask General Manhorov for help, and ask him to send a large army to help Qiqihar!"

Kuztsov comforted: "As long as we can withstand a few days, the main forces of the Russian army in the direction of Harbin can rush over, listen clearly, we must withstand the attack of the Chinese People's Army, it will only take a few days!" My cavalry has been sent! Soon there will be cavalry coming! ”

Yishan's mouth was full of bitterness, and he said sadly: "Colonel Kuztsov, what you said is light, if you want to withstand the attack of the Chinese People's Army, where is it so simple?" These green battalion soldiers under my command are a bunch of soft eggs! It is difficult for even your army to take advantage in front of the Chinese People's Army, let alone my green battalion? ”

Kuztsov roared: "Even if you can't stand it, you have to stand it!" You must know that now the capital of your country, Shengjing, has been lost, and the provincial capital of Jilin Province has also been lost, and there is only one big city left in Qiqihar in the entire Qing Dynasty. What's more, we still have to count on Qiqihar to supply our army! If Qiqihar is also lost, where will our Russian army raise food for more than 100,000 people! ”

As soon as Kuztsov's words were finished, a dense burst of artillery sound sounded outside the city!

Boom Boom!

The sound of cannons shook the sky and the earth, and they became one!

Yishan and Kuztsov's faces changed greatly, and before they could get out of the house, the shells had already fallen in the city of Qiqihar, and the explosion of the distance sounded, and it felt that the entire Qiqihar was shaking, and the flames were everywhere, and the smoke was soaring into the sky!

"Come, come, order all the units of the Green Battalion to immediately go to the top of the city to fight, and pull all the artillery up for me!"

Yishan, who was pale, shouted desperately.

Kuztsov's face was also solemn, and he shouted: "Come on, immediately order two companies of the Russian army to board Qiqihar and assist the green battalion soldiers to defend the city, we must supervise the green battalion soldiers, and once someone breaks and escapes, shoot them immediately!" ”

"Colonel Kuztsov, you are from the Tsarist Empire, not the generals of our Qing Empire, and you have no right to execute my soldiers!"

When Yishan heard this, his face turned red and shouted angrily.

Kuztsov glanced at Yishan with disdain and replied: "General Yishan, you have to be clear, as far as the waste under your command is concerned, I am afraid that as soon as the cannon sounds, my legs will already be weak, and I will fight a fart battle?" If a few people are not executed, they will definitely be completely defeated in one day, and the entire Qiqihar will not be able to be saved! At this time, this is not the time to be soft-hearted, and I am sure that the emperor of your country will also support my decision! ”

"You!"

Although Yishan is full of anger, but there is no way, the situation is stronger than people, the Qing Empire, the Manchu nobles want to keep their position of power, at this time, it is absolutely inseparable from the support of the Russian army, people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads!
