Chapter 183: Three surnames
September 6, 1900, at dawn.
Three surnames.
The three surnames, located on the south bank of the Songhua River, west of the Mudanjiang River, east of the Wuken River, is the northeast of Heishui Province water and land transportation town, because of its geographical location and its importance, so the Qing Dynasty set up the deputy capital of the government here.
More than a month ago, the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia fought a battle in the three surnames, if it weren't for Yue Weihua's sudden rise and leading the Black Dragon Army to fight Tsarist Russia, then the battle of the three surnames was enough to be recorded in the history books.
The deputy capital of the three surnames, Nong Ying'a, led the eight battalions of the Qing army to garrison the three surnames, and there were 22 artillery pieces, plus the sailor battalion stationed along the river, and his opponent was the vanguard major general Sakharov of the Russian army on the northeast road, Sakharov led four infantry battalions, two cavalry companies, two artillery companies, and 26 artillery guns.
It is said that it is a big war, and even once recorded in the history books as a vicious war, but in fact, in terms of troops, there are more than 3,000 people under Sakharov's hands, and there are more than 5,000 people under Nong Ying'a's hands, 3,000 against 5,000, of course, artillery and weapons, Tsarist Russia has a great advantage, but no matter what, although Nong Ying'a fought Sakharov, it only lasted for two days, and after two days, the Qing army suffered heavy casualties and evacuated the three surnames.
In the two days of fighting, Sakharov's battle losses were not much, it is said that less than 100 people were sacrificed, and only one river ship was sunk, it should be said that this battle damage was within an acceptable range, but obviously, Sakharov did not think so, he thought that the Qing army should not stop him, and since it was blocked, it was necessary to pay the price, not only the Qing army, but also ordinary people had to pay the price, so after the Russian army occupied the three surnames, Sakharov connived at his soldiers to shoot residents, loot property, burn houses, etc.,
Although more than a month has passed since this battle, standing far away from the three surnames, I can still feel that the city is silently telling its tragic experience, the dignified location of the deputy capital Mansion, where tens of thousands of people lived more than a month ago, is now lifeless, full of holes in the dilapidated city walls, and dilapidated buildings with broken walls, which makes Yue Weihua feel extremely depressed.
"Let's go, let's go into the city and have a look." Yue Weihua sighed helplessly.
Originally, there was an infantry battalion stationed in the three surnames, and with the news of the defeat of the ice city, the Russian infantry battalion stationed in the three surnames was ready to evacuate at any time, of course, they originally planned to take the fleet evacuated by Tux to return to Boli, but unfortunately, Tuckers's fleet was annihilated by Yue Weihua outside Qingshui Town.
After the successful annihilation of the Tsarist fleet yesterday, Yue Weihua did not rush to lead the team directly to the east, but ordered the troops to rest and recuperate in Qingshui Town, and at the same time sent scouts to spread the news that the Tsarist fleet was completely annihilated to the three surnames.
As soon as the troops of Tsarist Russia withdrew, Yue Weihua led his subordinates to step into the three surnames, and when Yue Weihua stepped into the three surnames, Yue Weihua got a hint from the merit tower, and 50,000 merit points were credited to the account.
Perhaps, this can also be called, a soldier who surrenders without a fight.
Yue Weidong went on an expedition to the east, preparing to recover the county capitals of Sanxia, Tangyuan, Mugas, Kumho, Jiangtong and other counties occupied by Tsarist Russia along the way, as well as many towns, because after many verifications, as long as Lao Maozi was driven out and he brought people to station, then he could get the reward of merit points.
It's like right now, without spending a single shot, he directly recovered the three surnames, and the three surnames, as a central city under the jurisdiction of the deputy capital, originally had a population of tens of thousands, and naturally obtained a lot of merit points, a full 50,000 merit points, which is equivalent to the recovery of Bingcheng.
As for the Tsarist infantry battalion that fled in a hurry on a fishing boat, Yue Weihua really didn't pay attention to it, let them run, the faster they run, the better, because as long as they run, then the Tsarist Russia stationed along the way will also run, and in this way, Yue Weihua can easily earn merit points.
"Tell me, where are you from?"
As soon as Yue Weihua and his party passed through the city gate, they saw a group of ragged people, slowly surrounding them from the surrounding lanes, and one of the bold men asked at the exit.
Yue Weihua knew that these people were all lucky to survive after Tsarist Russia wantonly shot and killed residents, Sakharov was only for revenge, burning countless people, but it was not a slaughter in the real sense, after all, Tsarist Russia invaded the three eastern provinces, its purpose was land and resources, not to exterminate the Chinese, of course, maybe Tsarist Russia had the idea of exterminating the Chinese, but did not dare to implement it.
"We're from Aihui, Black Dragon Army, I don't know if you've heard of it?" Chen Jinjiang stood up and explained.
"Black Dragon Army?"
"Are you really the Black Dragon Army?"
"The Black Dragon Army that specializes in killing Lao Maozi, and the Black Dragon Army that killed Lao Maozi and dyed the Black Water River red?"
……
As soon as Chen Jinjiang explained, the people around him immediately caused a commotion, many people danced excitedly, and some bold people slowly tentatively approached the team of the Black Dragon Army, wanting to ask for proof of whether what Chen Jinjiang said was true, because it was only dawn, the sky had not yet brightened, and when they saw Yue Weihua and his party clearly, they were really all Chinese, and all of them had no braids at the back of their heads, some of them were literate, and they could even see clearly the military uniforms worn by Yue Weihua and others in addition to the word "Black Dragon" embroidered on the chest.
"Yes, Black Dragon Army, I'm sure."
"Black Dragon Army, why are you here?"
"Woohoo."
When some of the people confirmed that Yue Weihua and his party were indeed the Black Dragon Army, the onlookers broke out instantly, some shouted excitedly, some cried excitedly, and many people knelt down directly, kowtowing vigorously, and saying everything in Balabala.
Seeing this scene, Yue Weihua felt more sad in addition to being relieved.
In particular, I heard one of the older men crying, "Why are you here?"
Yue Weihua's tears flowed unconsciously.
But what can I say?
Stand up, raise your arms and shout, I am Yue Weihua, the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon Army, I came here to drive the invaders away, to save you, I dare to guarantee that no one will dare to bully you in the future, who dares to come, come and kill one, come and kill one, come and kill one.
Although these words are invigorating, Yue Weihua really doesn't dare to say it, don't look at the Black Dragon Army is now in full swing and famous, especially in Heishui Province at the bottom, it is even more miraculous, but in fact, his own family affairs, his own family knows whether he can survive the next hurdle, even Yue Weihua himself is not fully sure.
"Commander-in-Chief, look?" Chen Jinjiang asked.
"Let's go to the Vice-Metropolitan Mansion first." Yue Weihua nodded, and continued: "Send a few more squads, ride horses to all corners of the city to shout, and tell everyone that Tsarist Russia has evacuated, and you can go to the deputy capital to receive food and supplies in a while." ”
After the Tsarist Russia evacuated in a hurry, the scouts led by Liu Mu temporarily blocked the deputy capital, not that Yue Weihua took a fancy to the things inside, but mainly worried about the unscrupulous people robbing, which caused fearless stampedes, and even scrambles, brawls, etc., which are possible.
After leaving half of Chen Jinjiang's people, Yue Weihua took the lead in leaving, in fact, the main reason was that his eyes were not angry, seeing those ragged people, crying and shouting, why did you come here, Yue Weihua really wanted to cry, but he was the commander-in-chief, why did he have to hold it, so he simply left Chen Jinjiang to cook and left first.
"Commander-in-Chief, you're here."
A few minutes later, Yue Weihua came to the door of the Third Vice-Capital Mansion, and Liu Mu, the leader of the Third Squadron of the Special Operations Team, saw Yue Weihua from a distance and greeted him.
"Well, how are you doing, didn't you encounter anything?"
Yue Weihua asked, Liu Mu and the soldiers of a detachment of the special combat team entered the city in the middle of the night last night, and they were the ones who spread the news, and the purpose was, first, to monitor the withdrawal of Tsarist Russia, and second, to be responsible for blocking the deputy capital of the Tongfu to prevent the people from looting.
"It's okay, but, it was really guessed by the commander-in-chief, there is no shortage of smart people anywhere, Tsarist Russia has just left the city on the front foot, we led the team to blockade the deputy capital, but in just a few minutes, several groups of people have been preparing to break into the deputy capital, fortunately, those guys are still knowledgeable, when we show our identities, especially after seeing the Thompson submachine gun in our hands one by one, this is honest." Li Muyan said.
"Well, it's okay, let people count the food and materials inside, and register it, and after a while, people will come to collect the food." Yue Weihua nodded in response, as for what Liu Mu said, it was all expected.
"Okay." Liu Mu paused, and suddenly asked: "Commander-in-chief, let's go east this way, if there are any refuge along the way, do you want to recruit?" ”
"It depends on the situation, if there are people with good skills, they can stay, and the rest of the people, if they are interested, let them go to Ice City." Yue Weihua said, there is no way, you are in a hurry, and if you bring too many idle people, it will affect the itinerary.
"Hehe, don't say, among the people who visited yesterday, although one of the groups is only a dozen or so people, but all of them are good hands, I couldn't help but itch for a while, and fought a few tricks with one of them, but I didn't expect to be quite equal, and that guy actually said that she was only able to be at the bottom of their group, which made me very shameless." Liu Mu said with a smile.
Liu Mu's words aroused some interest from Yue Weihua, after all, Liu Mu was born in the dart bureau before, although his skills were a little worse than Yue Xiaodong, but since joining the special combat team, after Yue Weihua's personal training, Liu Mu's skills, especially the ability to kill, are definitely not bad, and they are also considered to be the top combat power in the special combat team, of course, this refers to the situation of bare hands, but now it is good, so many masters have emerged at once, Yue Weihua can't help but want to loosen his bones, after all, the master is also lonely as snow.
"Do you know where they came from?" Yue Weihua asked.
"Didn't ask, but they'll definitely come back."
