Chapter 164: They're friends

Bingcheng, the Provisional Command of Tsarist Russia.

"Bastard, rice bucket, when did Sinan Moore become so incompetent."

"Damn, I was chased and killed by an under-formed regiment and fled in embarrassment, not to mention the heavy casualties, and the two cavalry battalions that went to the rescue were also wiped out by others."

"Incompetent, incompetent."

"Rice bucket, rice bucket."

Commander Gerasimus scolded Sinam Moore for his incompetence while throwing things, and it was clear that the news of the disastrous defeat of Sinan Moore's brigade in Sinrongpo had reached the Temporary Command of Ice City.

Grasimus scolded right, a full brigade of more than 4,000 people in the Sinan Moore Brigade was chased and killed from the early morning of yesterday to the morning, losing more than 700 people, and was forced to hide in Suihua County and did not dare to go out, until Gerasim sent two cavalry battalions to respond, and only at two o'clock in the morning did he break through, but he did not expect to be ambushed by people at the city gate, and more than 1,000 people were directly killed in this battle.

The remaining Sinan Moore Brigade of more than 2,500 people, plus two cavalry battalions, a total of more than 3,500 people, still could not get rid of the other party's attack, and was finally ambushed in Xinrongpo, more than two hours later, returned to the Liushutun Tsarist stronghold three kilometers away from Xinrongpo to gather only more than 1,600 people, and the two cavalry battalions were almost completely wiped out, even if the cavalry that survived by luck had no war horses.

With such a record, Gerahim couldn't be angry if he didn't want to.

Of course, if Yue Weihua is like this again, he will definitely say a fair word for Sinan Moore, it should be said that Sinan Moore's ability is still very good, especially the ability to respond to and command on the spot, but unfortunately he was unlucky and ran into Yue Weihua, a perverted existence.

Gerasimus also fell and was scolded, and the depression in his chest finally came out, especially when he thought that even the commander-in-chief of the operation, Vice Admiral Grodkov, led a large fleet of more than 100 warships and carried two infantry brigades, and he was also defeated if he was defeated, and in the end he was also destroyed with a surrender ceremony, thinking of this, Gerasimus finally calmed down.

"Two, Brigade Commander Sinan Moore sent a telegram again, asking us to send a response team to the Bayan River again to meet the rescue, otherwise, they will not have the confidence to return to the headquarters, what do you think?" Gerasimus said depressedly.

The Sinan Moore Brigade dispersed and broke through in Xinrongpo, and then gathered at Liushutun, three kilometers away, how could this kind of thing escape the eyes of the scouts of the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team, if not, Yue Weihua also wanted to attract more reinforcements from the ice city to come to the rescue, Yue Weihua could have directly destroyed this remnant of the defeated army that had no fighting spirit.

Of course, Yue Weihua didn't want to give Tsarist Russia too much time to rest, so when the remnants of the Sinan Moore Brigade were almost gathered, the two cavalry battalions of the Black Dragon Army began to launch a harassing attack again, and in the face of the attack of the Black Dragon Army, Sinan Moore could only ask for help from the Ice City Headquarters again in addition to fighting and retreating.

"Your Excellency Commander, there are only about 3,000 garrisons left in our Ice City, if we can send reinforcements to successfully meet the Sinan Moore Brigade, it will be fine, if the meat buns beat the dogs, and there is no return, then our Ice City will be in danger." Chief of Staff Novis reminded.

Obviously, Chief of Staff Novis didn't want to send reinforcements anymore, because in his opinion, since the Sinan Moore Brigade was targeted by the Black Dragon Army, there was no reason to survive, because since the battle with the Black Dragon Army, no unit had ever been able to survive after fighting the Black Dragon Army head-on.

And the Sinan Moore Brigade has been pursued by the other party for so long and has not been annihilated, so the only explanation is that the other party did it on purpose, and the purpose is to attract more reinforcements to come to the rescue, so as to weaken the defense of the ice city and create conditions for taking the ice city.

Not to mention, Chief of Staff Novis is really Yue Weihua's strategy, guessing eight or nine is not far from ten, but unfortunately Novis can't say it clearly, first, he just guessed, there is no evidence, and secondly, the Sinan Moore Brigade is a unit that has survived the head-on battle with the Black Dragon Army, if it can be successfully brought back, it will be of great help to understand the Black Dragon Army, there is no doubt that as long as they send a telegram to the War Department, the War Department will definitely let them respond at all costs, so, for the safety of Ice City, Novis could only implicitly express himself.

Gerasimus can do the position of commander, naturally he is not a stupid person, although Novis is just such a light stroke, Gerasim can naturally understand it, but there is one more person present, that is, Sergei, the commander of another infantry brigade of Tsarist Russia stationed in Bingcheng. Peter.

"Major General Peter, what do you think?" Gerasim asked.

Sergei. Although Peter is only an infantry brigade commander and a subordinate of Gerasimus, his military rank is also a major general, and more importantly, the Sergei family is a big family in Tsarist Russia, and has great influence on both the Russian and political sides of the Tsarist army, and Peter is a new star of the Sergei family, and even the tsar is particularly optimistic about him.

But the bad thing is that Sergey. Peter and Sinan Moore are very good friends, if Sergei insists on sending reinforcements, I am afraid that Gerasimus will be difficult to stop, and it can even be said that among the remaining 3,000 troops in Ice City, I am afraid that seventy or eighty percent will choose to obey Sergei's orders instead of Gerasimus's orders.

As a new star of the Sergei family, Peter is naturally not a stupid person, the meaning of Gerasimus and Novis is too clear, in fact, if it wasn't for Peter's own insistence last night, Gerasimus would not have agreed to send the only two cavalry battalions in Ice City to meet him, but Sinan Moore's friendship with Peter has gone beyond the normal scope, because they are a team of friends, or, in other words, they are in love, of course, all this, others do not know.

Therefore, Peter must support the sending of troops, but he must find a reason to convince Gerasimus and Novis. Peter finally spoke: "Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, I have a question for both of you. ”

"General Peter is polite, and it doesn't hurt to be blunt."

"Okay, what I want to ask is, with our remaining 3,000 infantry, do the two commanders think we can hold the Ice City, and even say, can we hold the territory of Tsarist Russia in the Ice City?" Sergei. Peter asked.

Although the history of the ice city has a long history, it is the birthplace of the Jin and Qing dynasties, but in fact, the real development of the ice city is in 1896 with the construction of the Eastern Railway, industry, commerce and population began to gather in the area of the ice city, until the completion of the railway in 1903, the prototype of the modern city gradually formed, and now it is only 1900, more importantly, the ice city is a city that has never been walled.

Although the Tsarist Provisional Command is located in Xiangfang District, next to the railway station, and connected to Tsarist Street, although a certain amount of fortifications have been built, they ask themselves that the city defense of Bingcheng, or the fortifications around the Tsarist Russian Headquarters, is much worse than that of Aihui City.

Sergei. Peter's meaning is also obvious, at the beginning, Major General Ivanovis Brigade Commander, with the risk of Aihui City, was easily broken by the Black Dragon Army, so why could they hold the Ice City and their Tsarist Russia's base camp in the Ice City.

"This?"

Sure enough, Sergey . Peter's rhetorical question made Gerasimus and Novis look different, and the two of them really didn't think about it, or didn't dare to think about it.

"Your Excellency the Commander and Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, with all due respect, whether we are staying here with 3,000 troops or 1,000 troops, if the Black Dragon Army is really determined to take the Ice City, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to hold out until the reinforcements arrive."

Sergei. Peter saw that the two of them had been shaken, so he hurriedly hit the railroad while it was hot, in fact, what he said was not unreasonable, but it was also a little too much emphasis on the strength of the Black Dragon Army, after all, the situation between them and Ivanovi of Aihui was completely different now.

At the beginning, Ivanovis was in Aihui, which was guarding an empty city with no food and no water, facing a desperate situation, and Bingcheng was the base camp of Tsarist Russia in Heishui Province, in addition to more than 3,000 garrisons, there were still thousands of Tsarist Russian workers and people living here, although the city defense was not as good as Aihui City, but after all, it was operated by Tsarist Russia for three or four years, where can its fortifications be bad, if Gerasimus is determined to defend the territory of Tsarist Russia, Yue Weihua will not use a strategy, if he wants to attack and take it, I am afraid that the victory will be a miserable victory.

However, Sergei ignored these, and emphasized the strength of the Black Dragon Army, and Gerasimus They didn't know the situation of Aihui at the beginning, but now the Tsarist Russian soldiers do have a cowardly heart for the Black Dragon Army, so when Sergei mentioned this, Gerasimus and Novis immediately panicked.

"General Peter, what do you say we should do, do we want to give up Ice City?" Gerasimus asked anxiously: "If we do this, I am afraid that the news will spread back to China, and we will probably have to go to a military court." ”

"Yes, how can you retreat without a fight." Chief of Staff Novis also agreed, but he was obviously timid, and what he meant was not that he could not withdraw, but he had to fight and then retreat.

Sergei. The corners of Peter's mouth finally leaked a trace of arc, and he said calmly: "Two commanders, I didn't say that we would retreat without a fight, at present, the Black Dragon Army is only more than forty kilometers away from the ice city, and Brigade Commander Sinan Moore is still blocking the other party, we have also sent two cavalry battalions to participate in the battle before, and next, we are sending two or three battalions to respond, and we are also participating in the war, how can we say that we are retreating without a fight,......。 ”

"Besides, as long as we successfully pick up the Sinan Moore Brigade, it will be a great achievement, and the two commanders should agree on this, after all, Commander-in-Chief Grodekov just got some information back, and the War Department did not hold him responsible, and our Sinan Moore Brigade and the Black Dragon Army have been fighting for a day and two nights, and this understanding should not be less than that of Grodekov,......。"

"Also, our temporary headquarters has a lot of strategic materials in stock, as well as the gold and silver property that has been captured, if we can't transfer it as soon as possible, and finally get it by the Black Dragon Army, I'm afraid, our responsibility will be greater, and ,......。 then."

"Makes sense."

Gerasimus and Novis nodded again and again, and after the two of them digested it, Gerasimus hurriedly said: "General Peter, you can directly talk about your plan, and we will staff together." ”

"My plan is to go through three steps, first to send reinforcements, and at the same time to ......
