However, although He Zheng said that he was tough, now the first and second divisions have long been exhausted, and if they want to counterattack, they can only wait for Yan Chunyu to lead the main force to arrive.

Yan Chunyu did not let He Zheng wait too long, and in more than two days, the Fourth Division of the Ninth Division arrived at Shuangchengzi one after another, and continued to advance towards the north, preparing to insert itself behind the Russian army in one breath and completely encircle the four divisions of the Russian army in the middle.

It's just that Valerian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has long been prepared, and put a reconnaissance company all south of Shuangchengzi, spying on the enemy situation everywhere, and the two infantry divisions just appeared, and they were discovered by the reconnaissance company of the Russian army.

General Valerian, no, the Chinese People's Army has a large force on the west side of Shuangchengzi and is rapidly advancing in the northwest direction

Valery was startled, and said urgently: How many troops does the other side have

The scout gasped: I don't know, a rough estimate, it should be about the strength of a division

Valery reluctantly settled down, only one division of troops came to reinforce, that can't change the fact that the Russian army has the upper hand at present Now the artillery firepower of the Chinese People's Army is too weak, only dozens of cannons, even if there is another artillery regiment, the artillery firepower will be at a disadvantage.

Before Valerian could catch his breath, though, a scout ran back from the front, bringing another piece of bad news

Report to General Valerian that a large force of the Chinese People's Army has been found in the southeast of Shuangchengzi, which is rapidly advancing towards the north, and I am afraid that in less than a day, it will cross Shuangchengzi and come to our left flank

And also

Valerian couldn't do it at all, if there was a division, the Russian army would still be able to deal with it, and if there was another division, the situation on the entire battlefield would have to be reversed, and the Russian army would definitely not be able to cope with the attack of four Chinese People's Army army divisions

Tell me quickly, how many troops the other side has

Valerian said urgently.

It's almost like a division

Valerian's head was buzzing, it was only less than three days before Jangovich came back, and the reinforcements of the Chinese People's Army had arrived, so fast

General Valerian, what do we do now

Yevrem on the side was also a little anxious, the other party came with the strength of two divisions in one breath, judging from the strength of the two divisions on the opposite side, it was definitely enough for the Russian army to drink a pot

Valerian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Order, the army immediately retreats to the northwest, moves closer to the bank of the Ussuri River, and is ready to cross the Ussuri River at any time, and gives Jangovich an order that within one day, I must gather the ships that will transport the army."

The order soon reached Jangovich.

Jangovich received the order, his face was so anxious that he turned green, for three days, he worked hard to find ships everywhere, but it was not easy to get together a boat to transport soldiers, and the people along the Ussuri River had long hated Lao Maozi to the bones, who would give the boat to Lao Maozi This east of the Ussuri River was originally sparsely populated, and all the populations of the entire Jiangdong combined, that is, more than 200,000, of which Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi together have more than 50,000 people, and there are 30,000 or 40,000 in Boli in the north. This accounts for one-third of the population, along the coast of Jiangdong, there are still 780,000 people, and the remaining 780,000 people are distributed along the Ussuri River, imagine, there are only 70,000 or 80,000 people in total, where can a large number of fishing boats come here, it is not Jiangnan, but the polar regions outside the Guanwai where the weather is frozen, not to mention that the common people are unwilling to take out the boats, and some even directly set fire to their own fishing boats

In three days, Jangovich barely found seven or eight large ships, a dozen medium ships, fifty or sixty small ships, and even if he found a large ship, the carrying capacity was only four or five tons, and at most two guns could be transported, and as for the medium ships, it would be good to be able to barely transport one artillery, and the sixty small ships in the house could not even transport a single artillery

Such a small number of ships, such a small capacity, to transport tens of thousands of troops of the four divisions of the Russian army, how can it be in time, not to mention, there are a large number of artillery and horses, it is even more fatal, even if it is fully transported, there are no thirty or forty trips, it is absolutely impossible to transport all of them to the other side of the river, the Ussuri River is not too wide, but it is not very narrow, the width reaches two kilometers, and it takes an hour to go back and forth, counting the time for boarding, there is no three days, and I want to transport all the troops to the other side

Jangovich could no longer sit still, rode a fast horse, and ran back to the headquarters like a fly

General Valerian, we have to change our plans, it is no longer possible to cross the Ussuri River, the time is too tight for us to find enough ships

Jangovich shouted.

Jangovich, how many ships have been collected now

Valerian asked, frowning.

Jangovic said helplessly: General, I have searched for ships everywhere near Sibecesi, and I have swept all the villages and towns along the river for more than 100 miles, and I have only found only seventy or eighty large and small ships, and the maximum carrying capacity of these ships is only five or six tons, not to mention carrying people, even the transportation of our artillery and shells alone is not enough, and it is impossible to send all the troops of the four divisions across the Ussuri River in more than three days

Valerian was also a little stupid, and wanted to cross the river to join the right army, but in particular, how to cross the river without boats

General, general, now is not the time to be in a daze, the plan to cross the river will definitely not work, we must change the plan as soon as possible

Yevrem shouted.

Valerian came back to his senses, walked around the house a few times, and shouted in a deep voice: Immediately order the army to retreat to the north immediately, avoid fighting with the Chinese People's Army, and retreat to Boli to fight in Shuangchengzi in one breath, our logistics line is too long, and we will suffer a lot, then we will retreat sharply, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Chinese People's Army in Boli, hum, let's also let them enjoy a long front, and at that time, see how we can clean them up and immediately order people to cross the river again, Inform the Right Army to move in a northeasterly direction, and if necessary, cross the Ussuri River and fight alongside us

Yes, General

Now facing the persecution of the four divisions of the Chinese People's Army, Valerian has no choice but to turn around.

To be continued.
