Chapter 120: Ivanoves' Fear
Aihui City.
"How's it going, did you get in touch with headquarters?"
"Report to Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, there is no answer from the headquarters."
"How is it possible, the battle has only been for a few minutes,......
Major General Brigade Commander Ivanovis jumped to his feet in a hurry, and from the moment Hailan Pao was bombarded, the entire Tsarist Russian soldiers in Aihui were able to see with their own eyes the situation of Hailan Pao on the other side.
"General Ivanoves, no matter what, we must immediately send troops across the river to reinforce us, Hailan Pao is the most important city in our Amur Region, and we must not afford to lose." Chief of Staff Spanoulis said urgently.
When Ivanoves heard this, he nodded hurriedly and replied: "You are right, the herald ordered the Gelst regiment to assemble immediately and cross the river immediately." ”
"Yes."
……
On a hillside a kilometer west of Aihui City, close to the Heishui River, along the banks of the Heishui River, you can see the wharf of Aihui City, and all the gunboats, fireships, tugboats and steamboats of the Tsarist fleet, a total of a dozen ships, are all in sight.
"Deputy Captain, the Chief of the General Staff is calling." The team leader came quickly and reported.
"Oh, isn't the battle on their side over with the Chief of the General Staff?" Zhou Dabiao hurriedly asked.
"Well, the battle ended ten minutes ago, and now it is heading towards Aihui City, and it is estimated that in fifteen minutes, it will be able to enter the predetermined location." Permission back.
"Fifteen minutes, hey, it's still a bit of trouble, huh?"
The battle of Hailanbao has begun, Ivanovis will definitely not sit idly by, after all, Hailanbao only has one regiment left to garrison, and Hailanbao is a very important city in the Far East of Tsarist Russia, and in the near future it will become the hungry capital of Amur Oblast, and now it is also the headquarters of the Northern Route Army of Tsarist Russia.
Zhou Dabiao's side can destroy the fleet of Tsarist Russia at any time, but if he does it without waiting for the arrival of Yue Xiang's army, first, it will not be able to form a situation of closing the door and fighting dogs, and second, his own side will not be able to calmly carry out shelling, because once the shelling, Tsarist Russia will definitely send troops to block it.
"His grandmother's, I hope the speed of Tsarist Russia can be slowed down, at least ten minutes."
……
Inside Aihui City.
"Gelst, you bastard, what are you still doing here, saving people is like fighting fire, immediately, immediately, in five minutes, I want to see your soldiers on board." Ivanoves was really anxious, and personally ran to the temporary barracks, urging the Gelst regiment to set off immediately.
"Your Excellency General, the soldiers have been fighting hard for a day since they boarded the ship at four o'clock in the morning today, and they have just finished eating, lying down on the bed and preparing to rest, you want them to gather urgently and set off within five minutes, how can it be so simple." Colonel Gelst reluctantly argued.
From the early morning to half past five in the afternoon, more than ten hours, almost without stopping, the soldiers have just relieved their breath and are ready to lie down and rest, which is equivalent to venting their strength, at this time, you want the soldiers to immediately regroup and quickly enter the battle, then there will definitely be a grinder, which is due to human physiology.
"I don't want to hear any excuses, ten minutes, I'll give you ten minutes at most, and after ten minutes, if you don't see the soldiers on board, I'll take you to court-martial." Ivanos said angrily.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
……
Ten minutes later.
"Vice-captain, Tsarist Russia is starting to board the ship."
"Well, Lao Maozi still gives face, say ten minutes, just ten minutes." Zhou Dabiao raised his hand and looked at his watch, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he continued: "Is there any movement from the south, the chief of the general staff, they should be almost there, right?" ”
"It should be almost, just as our cannon goes off, we can cover the chief of the general staff, otherwise Lao Maozi may find out at the first time, if that is the case, the position will not be easy to build." Permission laughed.
"Well, the herald artillery company, as well as the mortars of our special combat team, listen to my guns as an order, and be ready to fire at any time."
Zhou Dabiao was also much more relaxed at this time, fortunately, the chief of staff could lead the army to arrive in time, otherwise it would not be possible to achieve such a favorable seamless connection, otherwise, after the shelling, Zhou Dabiao would have to destroy the artillery and then break through and leave.
Time passed slowly, and at the entrance of the dock, the soldiers of the Gelst Regiment were boarding the ship quickly, although they were physically and mentally exhausted, but when they saw the fierce gunfire in the Hailan bubble, they involuntarily accelerated their pace.
"Vice-captain, the Russian gunboats are ready to leave."
Bang bang bang!
Zhou Dabiao pulled out his pistol and fired three shots in a row, these three shots were like igniting a barrel of explosives, and the whizzing shells instantly rose into the air.
Thundered!
Thundered!
One 150-mm howitzer, six 105-mm field guns, and thirty 50-mm mortars fired almost at the same time, and each had already locked on a different bombing target.
Ships moving at high speed may not be easy to hit, but the ships that stop there and do not move, that is, giant targets, especially these targets are all in sight, and at the moment they are boarding the ship with bright lights, if they can't hit, then these artillerymen can go home directly to farm.
I saw that the entrance of the pier was instantly ablaze, the violent explosion sound, and the devastating energy shock wave bombarded the Russian soldiers who were boarding the ship, all of them flew in all directions, if it was around the explosion of the howitzer and heavy artillery, it was destined to be no bones and blood in the air.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack."
The panicked Russian soldiers quickly retreated towards Aihui City, but fortunately, Zhou Dabiao's target was not them, but those ships, bombing the soldiers, which was to beat rabbits with grass, by the way.
"Quick, the other side's artillery position, on the western slope, order the remaining two battalions of the Morse regiment to go quickly and take out that damn bastard bastard." Ivanovis yelled hysterically, and it has to be said that the reaction of His Excellency the brigade commander was still very fast.
However, the reaction was fast, but after the roar, Ivanoves still felt weak, because he knew that this fleet was finished, and it would take a lot of time to gather soldiers and rush to the opponent's artillery position, and these times were enough for the other party to completely destroy this fleet.
Standing on the tower of Aihui City, Ivanoves could only watch his fleet being destroyed one by one, and at this moment, he suddenly felt frightened in his heart, because he suddenly thought that it was impossible for the Qing army to have such a powerful artillery force, and it was even more impossible for the Qing army to go to attack Hailan Pao after being driven out of Aihui City, and he was able to prevent himself from going to reinforcements, so the only explanation was that the mysterious team made a move.
Thinking of Commander Gribsky's repeated admonitions, as well as the entire brigade of Movihankin who was annihilated in the early morning, Ivanoves suddenly felt that his feet were a little weak, could it be that the other party, not only against Hailan Pao, but also besieged himself in Aihui City?
Thinking of this possibility, Ivanovis instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and almost subconsciously looked towards the south, but the sky was too dark, and it was difficult to see anything from hundreds of meters away, and the cannon sound on the east shore was too loud, making it difficult for him to hear any movement.
Ten minutes later, the cannons stopped, and Ivanoves knew without looking that the fleet was finished.
Da-da-da-da!
However, at this time, fierce gunfire suddenly came from the west.
"Report to the general, the west gate of the city was suppressed by the enemy's strong firepower and could not leave the city."
"What?"
……
The bombardment at the entrance of the wharf east of Aihui City also attracted the attention of Hailan Pao, but it was only a concern, because during this time period, the three-way army of the Black Dragon Army was also carrying out a powerful attack on their respective targets.
"Commander, the battalions have completed the elimination of the remnants of the defeated generals."
"Commander, the battalions have completed the blockade of the various exits of Hailan Bubble."
Around eight o'clock in the evening.
In fact, the main force of Tsarist Russia was almost wiped out in the first twenty minutes, and the next forty minutes were mainly to clear the remnants of the defeated army, after all, Hailan is not small, and it is not easy to exterminate the remnants.
"Okay, good job." Yue Weihua nodded, and then asked, "Shen Yin, is there any new situation over there in Aihui City?" ”
"No, Ivanoves has been honest after being tested at all the gates." Shen Yin replied.
"Well, since that's the case, then we're going to have to do a good job of searching in Hailan, and at least we'll collect some interest and come back." Yue Weihua nodded, and then said lightly: "Order the cavalry battalion to take over the patrol of the city, let them issue an order, order the people of the whole city, immediately gather in the barracks in the north, if an hour later, who is still stuck in the house and does not leave, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite." ”
"Yes, Commander." Shen Yin responded, paused, and suddenly said: "Commander, I'm afraid that relying on their mouths alone, these old hairy people may not be so obedient, let alone an hour, even a night, it is estimated that it is too impossible." ”
"Hey, that's what I'm saying, in addition to the mouth, I'm afraid the threat of force is inevitable, so let's tell the battalions, try to move as little as possible, well, there is another thing, many officers in our team are the same as you and me, they all escaped from Hailan Pao, and now that they are back, you can give them a little time, let them go home and see, and go to worship if they want to, but remember, you can't act alone, at least in a group of five, and the personal property that originally belonged to them, let them mark it, and when the time comes, it still belongs to them."
"Yes, Commander, thank you, Commander." Shen Yin's eyes were also red, and he answered.
More than a month ago, Tsarist Russia created the Hailan Pao tragedy and the Jiangdong 64 Tun tragedy, killing more than 7,000 Chinese compatriots, although Yue Weihua did not learn to slaughter the people of Tsarist Russia like Tsarist Russia, but all the property of Chinese compatriots in Hailan Pao was confiscated, think about more than 5,000 Chinese compatriots, two or three hundred large and small shops, their goods, real estate, land, grain, materials, etc., how much is this worth?
Although many things cannot be counted, as a survivor of Hailan Bubble, Yue Weihua deeply knows that the overseas Chinese in China, especially the wealthy businessmen, are not a few large merchants with a family capital of hundreds of thousands of rubles, and there are countless small merchants with tens of thousands of rubles.
As far as the Yue family is concerned, due to the accumulation of several generations of Hailan Pao, the absolute family, the population of the family is more than 300, and there are more than ten shops, according to Yue Hai, the assets of the Yue family will definitely not be less than one million rubles, and the value of one million rubles is almost the value of one million dollars.
And the Yue family is not a pure merchant family, the family assets of those real big merchants are definitely much richer than the Yue family, so Yue Weihua estimates that the family assets of the entire Chinese people must be more than 10 million rubles.
Although it is said that the raid of homes and the extermination of ethnic groups were all committed by the Tsarist military, it has to be said that many Tsarist Russian merchants or ordinary people in Hailan are all beneficiaries, because they will buy Chinese materials, fields, houses and shops from the military at a low price.
Therefore, Yue Weihua's approach is very simple, we don't kill the people, we can't learn from animals, but the interest is absolutely collected, that is, to scavenge Hailan Bubble to the bottom, hey, who made the space of the third heaven of our merit tower empty.
You know, that's a million square meters of space.
I just don't know, can the materials of Hailan Bubble fill this million square meters of space?
Yue Weihua thought so.
