Chapter 266: Fighting Yaksa Again
Although the Tsarist army had just fought the Crimean War and had learned the power of the advanced flowering shells of the Anglo-French army, it suddenly fell to its knees when compared with the power of the Chinese army's shells.
Shells loaded with Ladder Slag are far more powerful than shells loaded with Hey.
The Russian army in the Udi River suffered this big loss, and was instantly stunned by the heavy artillery fire of the Chinese army.
The 3,000 Russian troops, under the artillery fire of the Chinese Shence Army, were killed and wounded more than half in an instant.
A Russian soldier screamed in fright, ignoring the officer's refusal, and became the first to desert.
Immediately after, one Russian soldier after another began to flee.
The entire Russian position on the Udi River quickly fell into chaos because of the increasing number of deserters, and the commander Amoeiv was in a hurry to shout, but unfortunately the sound of artillery explosions drowned out his voice, and the thick smoke of gunfire obscured the realization between him and the soldiers.
In less than three minutes, in addition to the dead soldiers, the Russian troops on the forward position were left with seriously wounded soldiers, but all the soldiers who could run ran away.
Amoef vomited blood angrily, but unfortunately he was really helpless. Even he was stunned by the heavy artillery fire of the Chinese army for the first time, let alone the soldiers.
"When did the Chinese army become so powerful?"
Amoeiv looked up to the sky and lamented, seeing that it was impossible to do anything and the position could not be held, so he took the initiative to retreat.
As the artillery fire extended, the Chinese Shence army on the banks of the Udi River quickly crossed the pontoon bridge and launched a charge on the opposite bank, and then easily occupied the Russian positions and barracks.
"Judging from the number of corpses of the Russian army, there are less than 800 of them left, and they are scattered and fleeing, I suggest dividing the troops to pursue and destroy all the Russian troops." Tian Hongliang, chief of staff of the twelfth town, proposed.
"Our army has just arrived in the northeast, and I don't know much about the terrain, culture, and weather in this area, especially the situation of the Russian army is more complicated, who knows what dangers are hidden in the vast forests and snow. I decided to go steady. The troops were divided into three routes, the Chinese army opened the road, and the left and right flanks covered and outflanked. Wang Hui, the commander of the 12th Town Division, rejected the proposal of the chief of staff and suggested that it should be fought steadily.
"Agreed! You press the middle army, I fight the vanguard! Tian Hongliang did not object, at this time it is necessary to be fast, otherwise the Russian army will run away after the rout, in this sparsely populated primeval forest, one blow will not be destroyed, and the main force will retreat in the future. These remnants of the Russian army will cause huge hidden dangers to the local area.
Wang Hui and Tian Hongliang quickly assigned their respective tasks, and then all the officers and soldiers of the 12th Town advanced in three ways to pursue and sweep away the remnants of the Russian army.
Mogecha in the upper reaches of the Amazar River in the Outer Khingan Mountains, here is a three-year patrol Obo, that is, the Qing army will only send people to patrol once every three years.
Since the Yapian War, the Qing army has not come to patrol again, and the Russian army took the opportunity to destroy Obo and occupy Mogecha.
During the Second Yapian War, the Russian army sent troops from Mogcha. Had it not been for Li Weiguo's defeat of the Anglo-French forces in the south and his strong demand that the Russian army return to the demarcation line stipulated in the Nebuchu Treaty, the Russian army would have annexed 1.5 million square kilometers of the Far East.
But since Li Weiguo's sphere of influence is in the south. Therefore, the Russian army only verbally agreed to Li Weiguo's request, and in fact did not withdraw its troops from Mogecha and other places, and even took advantage of the outbreak of the Third Yapian War and the Qing court's plan to perish. Sent ministers to contact the Heilongjiang generals, wanting to annex the nominal jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang vice-capital, and even annex the entire three northeastern provinces into the territory of the Tsarist Russian Empire. Its ambitions are clear.
When the Russian army on the banks of the Udi River was attacked by the Chinese Shence Army, the Russian army in Mogecha was still kept in the dark because they did not have advanced communication equipment such as telegraphs.
However, the Chinese Shence Army, which set out from Heilongjiang City, under the command of Wu Yong, had secretly arrived near Yaxa, and according to the agreed time, all other Chinese Shence Army troops would attack the three Russian fortresses of Tengding (three years of patrolling Obo), Tuoke (three years of patrolling Obo), and Mudan Mountain (three years of patrolling Obo) on the same day.
Except for Yaksa, which Wu Yong personally commanded the attack, there were two towns of Shence Army, and only one town of Shence Army was responsible for the attack in the other three places.
The Shence army has more than 12,000 troops in each town, while the Russian army does not have many troops in the fortress, about one or two thousand or about three or four thousand.
Wu Yong was very relieved of the other three routes, and personally led his troops to attack Yaxa, Mogecha and other places, of which Yaksa was a city occupied by the Russian army, with nearly 15,000 Russian troops.
Of course, most of them were Russian immigrants and criminals sent to the Far East, and the real Cossack Russian army corps consisted of only about five thousand people.
But Wu Yong didn't know this, he was completely out of confidence in the Shence Army, the elite of the Shence Army in the two towns, enough to defeat the 15,000 Russian troops in Yaxan.
At dawn, people are at their most sleepy. Especially in the north, the weather is cold, and northerners generally don't like to get up early, and most of them are sleeping on their stomachs.
A small group of Shence soldiers quietly lurked under the city gate, installed a large number of ladder slag drugs, and prepared to violently blast open the city gate.
Sneer...... Sneer......
The Shence soldiers quickly hid and lit the fuse, while the snipers were ready to shoot the Russian troops on the city at any time to prevent the other side from lowering the jack gate.
Once the huge iron gate is lowered, it will be difficult to open even the cannonballs and explosives, which will buy enough time for the defenders to go to the city for defense.
Obviously, the Shence Army was not ready to give the Russian army time to prepare, so they used snipers for the first time and stared at the Russian soldiers near the jack gate above the city gate.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the city gate was blown up in an instant, gunpowder smoke rose into the air, and the violent explosion seemed to have a major earthquake, and the Russian army on the city was instantly knocked to the ground.
"Attack!"
The Commander of the Divine Command Army drew his command knife and let out a loud shout, the blade pointing at Yaksa City.
The next moment, shouts of killing rang out, and the soldiers of the Shence Army held their rifles, screaming and quickly charged.
"Adaplekiwunik!" (Enemy sneak attack!) )
"Adaplekiwunik!" (Enemy Attack!) )
A Russian soldier quickly got up, saw the Shence army outside the city and launched a charge, and immediately shouted a warning.
A gunshot rang out, and the head of the Russian soldier who was warning suddenly blossomed.
Knock knock!
The artillery roared, and the Shence Army concentrated more than 50 75-mm infantry guns for a round of rapid fire, and the artillery fire instantly tilted to the head of the city, and the Russian army was scurrying with its head scurry.
"Hurry up and release the jack brake!"
A Russian commander rushed out, shouting.
One after another, the surviving Russian soldiers stood up. They quickly ran towards the jack gate of the city gate, ready to open the lock and drop the jack gate to block the enemy from entering the city.
Bang bang! Bang!
The snipers of the Shence Army lurking in the shadows fired one after another, killing the Russian soldiers who tried to fall off the jack gate one by one.
"Kill Pudili!" (Damn!) )
The Russian commander roared, he found that the enemy's marksmanship was particularly accurate, and every shot hit the Russian soldier's head head-on, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He quickly got up and told the soldiers to rush towards the jack gate, but unfortunately they were all killed.
At this time, he found that the Shence army had rushed to the city. controlled the city gate, knowing that the city gate could not be guarded, he immediately fled with his waist down.
Only those stupid Russian soldiers continued to resist in the city, but they were very sad, and they were still using front-loading muskets in their hands, which were not at all the opponents of the Shence army who used rear-loading rifles, and they were quickly killed.
The soldiers of the Shence Army who rushed into the city gate divided into two groups, one way continued to attack the city, and all the way quickly reached the top of the city. Sweep the Russian army and completely control the city gates.
Behind, Wu Yong saw all this through the binoculars, and his face was calm. With this level of sneak attack, he has absolute confidence in the Shence Army.
The Shence army entered the city, the Russian army was in chaos, and they fought with the Qing army very easily on weekdays. This led to the fact that the Russian army was very scattered, never thought that it would be attacked by a sneak attack, and never thought that the city gate would be lost in a few minutes.
When the cannon sounded. Although many Russian soldiers were also awakened, they did not realize the seriousness of the problem, they were not all Russian soldiers, they were scattered on weekdays, and this moment was still a slowly soaring assembly.
Boom!
The sound of the explosion was getting closer and closer, and the Russian soldiers realized the seriousness of the problem and ran out of the barracks one after another, only to see that the streets were full of Russian routs, and a team of Shence troops were chasing after them, shooting and killing without stopping, and at the same time throwing grenades at the Russian military camps on both sides of the street, that is, the houses occupied by the Russian army, each grenade could blow up a wooden house, and the Russian deserters who had just hid inside were either killed, or ran out with blood, and were shot by oncoming bullets again.
The Russian soldiers in the distance, who had not yet been affected, were suddenly frightened, and then began to hurriedly reload the medicine and projectiles to prepare for the battle.
"Why did all this Nima's medicine fall out of the barrel?" A Russian soldier looked nervously at the approaching enemy, and hurriedly poured medicine into the barrel of the gun, only to look down and see that the medicine had been spilled outside.
"Hey, why can't I remember how many bottles of medicine Lao Tzu contained?" A Russian soldier kept filling the barrel with medicine, but was always interrupted by the explosions around him, so frightened that he threw the medicine bottle with trembling hands, and when he came back to his senses, he took out the medicine bottle and continued to pour the medicine into it, but he forgot how much medicine he poured in.
Hearing the voice of his companion next to him, a Russian soldier next to him also suddenly complained: "Grass, Lao Tzu seems to have loaded a projectile into it just now, don't pretend too much, it will kill people!" ”
"What the are you waiting for? Shot! ”
A Russian officer rushed over and shouted orders to the Russian soldiers.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the Russian officer was instantly shot in the head, and his body fell to the ground.
"Run!"
"If you can't run, you'll be executed as a deserter!"
"You're stupid B, don't run and wait for death!"
A group of Russian soldiers were in an uproar, the veteran oil immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and the recruits were stupidly slow, and they were shot and killed one by one by the Shence Army soldiers who caught up.
Defeat is like a mountain!
Even if the frontal Russian army confronts the Chinese army head-on, it is not an opponent, not to mention that it is still a sneak attack, the Russian army that fought in a hurry is not vulnerable at all, and with the collapse of a large number of Russian soldiers, the entire Russian army in Yaksa collapsed.
The Qing Dynasty army, which was vulnerable before, and now the unstoppable Chinese army, are all yellow people, but their strength is very different.
The Russians were deflated, the 15,000 Russian troops were finished in less than half an hour, the Russian troops who escaped from the north gate were less than 2,000, and the rest were either killed or trapped in the city of Yaksa, waiting for their fate to either die in battle or surrender.
Wu Yong entered the city with the large army, and looking at the dilapidated streets, he could imagine what kind of life the Yaksa comrades lived.
Of course, this was once the land of the Eight Banners and Longxing, and it is impossible for Han people to exist, and compatriots are just a pronoun.
"These banner people really deserve it, they bully us Han people in the customs and let the Han people be slaves, but let the Russians bully and be slaves of the Russians outside the customs, what a retribution!"
It was Li Yang who spoke, with a gloating expression. He used to lurk in Wu Yong's mansion on Li Weiguo's orders to monitor Wu Yong's every move, but now he has become Wu Yong's close friend and follows Wu Yong.
"Don't say that! Although the people here are all Banner people or Mongols, now that China is unified, the Banner people and the Mongols are also our compatriots. Wu Yong glanced at Li Yang and reminded. Of course, he knew Li Yang's identity, but he never revealed it, because he was a smart person, as long as he didn't have the intention of rebellion, Li Weiguo wouldn't do anything to him, having Li Yang by his side made Wu Yong feel at ease, because he didn't have to worry about Li Weiguo suspecting him, and he could let things go.
Li Yang responded, although he was not in the pit, he was still gloating.
Wu Yong also shook his head helplessly, although he was also gloating in his heart, he would not show it.
"Speed up and clean up the remaining enemies in the city, and make an example of the people!"
It took only half an hour for the Chinese Shence army to capture the city of Yaksa, but it took a whole day to clear the remnants of the Russian army in the city, killing more than 7,000 enemies and capturing more than 3,000.
On the surface, there are still 5,000 Russian troops who escaped, but in reality, only more than 3,000 Russian troops successfully escaped, and nearly 2,000 Russian troops disappeared in the war, and a considerable number of them turned into Russian refugees and were also imprisoned in concentration camps by the Shence Army.
Of course, refugees are treated a little better than prisoners, and only smart Russian soldiers would think of it.
Because in the history of the Shence Army, prisoners of war have always been hard laborers, and most of them will be sent to work on construction sites, and most of them will die of exhaustion. As for the refugees, they had to work hard at first, but when the war ended and the two sides concluded a peace treaty, they were able to leave the camps and be free.
A day later, Wu Yong once again gathered the strength of one town and one brigade and marched along the Sakhalian Ula River in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River to the Mohe River.
Along the way, the Chinese army was full of murderous spirit, while clearing out the Russian deserters who were defeated from Yaksa but lost and could not escape back to Mohe, and at the same time conducting adaptive training to the snow-covered primeval forests in the north, so that the soldiers could adapt to the cold conditions and forest operations in the north as much as possible.
Two days later, Wu Yong led his army to Mohe, but Mohe had turned into a ruin, and it was the Russian army that killed all the aborigines of Mohe, destroyed this small village and town, and left nothing for the Chinese Shence army.
"These brutes!"
Seeing hundreds of yellow-faced civilians dying in a pool of blood, Wu Yong was suddenly furious.
"Pass my order, the army will surround Mogcha, but all the Russians will be killed, and no chickens and dogs will be left, so that they will pay for their blood debts!"
Li Yang worried: "I'm afraid this is not good, Your Majesty will blame it!" ”
"Don't worry, it's a big deal!" Wu Yong immediately smiled, this was a new method he learned from Chen Jingnan. (To be continued.) )
