Regiment Commander Dong, the commander-in-chief, ordered not to wait for the Russian army to cross the river, look for opportunities, and be sure to blow up all the boats collected by the Russian army before the Russian army crosses the river

The cavalry who came to give the order said in a deep voice.

Got it

Dong Zhixian turned his head and asked: Chu Xiang, how many ships has the Russian army collected now

Chu Xiang, the chief of staff on the side, replied: "Regiment commander, according to our intelligence, now Lao Maozi has collected more than 30 large ships, more than 50 medium-sized ships, and more than 100 small ships in half a month, all of which are distributed along the Ussuri River

Dong Zhixian's eyes flickered with coldness, and shouted: Pass the order, the first cavalry battalion will take over all the mortars and shells, move towards Boya Mountain on the south side of the Ussuri River wharf, occupy a high point, immediately measure the distance, and prepare for artillery bombardment, the second cavalry battalion and the third cavalry battalion will move towards the east side of Boya Mountain, once the Russian army attacks, immediately launch an attack, cover the retreat of the first cavalry battalion, and launch an artillery bombardment on time at 0:00 tonight, destroying all the Russian ships

The entire cavalry regiment went into action.

Late at night, on the top of Boya Mountain, a mortar occupied the top of the mountain, and the soldiers nervously adjusted the shooting data and prepared to shoot.

It was only two miles from the dock by the river, and the cavalry occupied two hills, enveloping the entire pier within mortar range

Well, the time has come

The commander of the first battalion, Lan Tianchang, shouted: Order, immediately enter combat readiness and start shelling

Boom, boom, boom

As soon as Lan Tianchang gave the order, all 30 artillery pieces were put into battle, and launched a comprehensive artillery bombardment towards the wharf of the Ussuri River

The violent explosion blew up the entire surface of the river, and as for the ships, they were blown up by the shells, and the small boats were torn apart by the shells, and the large ships were also riddled with holes under the bombardment of the shells

In Boli City, Valerian was studying the military deployment after entering the west of the Ussuri River, when he suddenly heard the dense sound of artillery, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly shouted: Someone, what's going on, where is the sound of cannons

A Russian soldier stumbled in and said urgently: General, it's not good, there is a distant cannon sound from Boya Mountain in the south of Boli City, and countless shells hit the dock, and our ships were completely enveloped by shells

Valerian felt a dizziness in his head, what, someone was shelling the docks on the Ussuri River

Valerian hurriedly ran out of the city, and the dock of the Ussuri River was already in flames, and the sound of artillery was still bombarding intensively, and shells continued to fly towards the dock of the Ussuri River

Damn, what are the reconnaissance battalions doing to eat, the Chinese People's Army has already arranged artillery to the door of the house, and no one even reacted, so immediately ordered the guard battalion in front to disperse all the ships to me to avoid enemy artillery fire; Order, give me the derelict reconnaissance battalion commander to shoot on the spot, in order to set an example, order the artillery to immediately launch an attack on Boya Mountain, shell Boya Mountain, destroy all enemy artillery on the spot, order the cavalry to immediately attack near Boya Mountain, not a single yellow-skinned monkey to spare

Valerian was furious and roared angrily.

The order soon arrived at the Russian artillery regiment, but there was no battle in Boli City, and all the artillery of the Russian army was covered with artillery clothing, and some even retreated into the warehouse, waiting to be disassembled and pushed out to participate in the shelling, which was already half an hour later.

More than half an hour is enough

The cavalry regiment carried a total of 1,000 shells, and the 1st cavalry battalion brought all the shells to the mountains, and the average to the mortars was that a mortar fired more than 30 shells, firing with all its might, and in half an hour, the shells were almost exhausted

In an hour, all the shells carried by the 1st Cavalry Battalion were shot out, and almost all the ships near Boli City were concentrated at the wharf by the river, and as long as these ships were blown up again, the Left Route Army would be completely useless, and they would think about crossing the Ussuri River again

Boom, boom, boom

Just when the shelling was about to end, down the mountain, the Russian artillery bombardment also began, and one shell after another hit Boya Mountain, and successively fell on Boya Mountain, however, the current Russian artillery did not know the specific location of the opponent at all, and could only fire indiscriminately, trying to suppress the enemy's artillery fire

Well, our shells have been fired, there is no need to grind with them, give orders, immediately carry mortars, retreat down the mountain, after a long time, the Russian army is going to attack

Lan Tianchang sneered, Ji Ke retreated

The cavalry battalion will disassemble the mortar and begin to retreat towards the rear.

At this time, under the mountain, the cavalry of the Russian army has also arrived, although I don't know the specific location, but Boya Mountain is not much big, as long as you see the Chinese, then you can't do it

The strength of a cavalry regiment drove over, and at the foot of the mountain, two cavalry battalions had long been ready for battle, and when they saw the arrival of the Cossack cavalry, they raised their horse pistols in their hands and began to shoot, and the two cavalry fought in one place.

Although the Cossack cavalry was superior in numbers, the horse pistols of the cavalry of the Chinese People's Army were extremely powerful, and the bullets were desperately beckoning at the Cossack cavalry, and the dense bullets rushed towards the face, which was much more powerful than the front-loading guns of the Cossack cavalry

Command, the whole army assaulted

The commander of the Cossack cavalry drew his saber from his waist and shouted.

The entire cavalry regiment began to rush towards the two cavalry battalions, and now it was the second half of the night, the sky was dark, and no matter how powerful the horse pistol of the Chinese cavalry was, it could not maximize the power of the horse gun in the dark night, so it could only be mixed with the opponent and started a frontal battle

However, it didn't take long, the first battalion of cavalry had stepped on the war horse, and began to support the two cavalry battalions in front, after a fight, the cavalry regiment quickly retreated to the south, even if the Russian army wanted to pursue, there was no good way, people were cavalry, not infantry, and the rifle firepower in their hands was so powerful, the Cossack cavalry could not help the opponent at all

The sky was bright, Valerian finally got the loss data given by the dock ahead, the large and medium-sized ships combined, nearly a hundred, there were only twenty well-preserved, more than a hundred small ships, and less than thirty remained, and it was impossible to think about the remaining few ships to transport the strength of the four divisions of the Left Route Army

burst

Valerian was so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out

To be continued.
