Chapter 50: The Ambush on Vlaar Mountain

Heihetun Wharf.

When Lao Maozi bombed here, he had no scruples and walked recklessly, but when they repelled the Qing army, the Heihetun Wharf would become one of their outposts in Heishui Province.

It took more than two hours to clear the dilapidated docks and set up a temporary headquarters, carrying all kinds of supplies and heavy artillery and other weapons from the steamers and tugboats, and when everything was done, it was already past three o'clock in the morning when the exhausted Colonel Anania returned to the temporary headquarters.

"Damn, I'm finally done with all these chores."

Anania stretched her waist, although she was a little tired, but she finally fulfilled her mission and successfully took the Heihetun wharf, and now she has preliminarily completed the control of the wharf, and then, it is time to wait for the order and lead the troops to Heihetun City at any time.

"Heihe Tuncheng?"

Anania suddenly jumped up like a fried rooster and roared, "Damn, who will tell me, where is the battalion of Milysses now?" ”

Milysses was the commander of a battalion, and after the successful landing, the Qing army retreated, and Milysses was ordered by Anania to pursue the remnants of the Qing army, but now two hours have passed, and Milysses has not received any news back.

And Colonel Anania, because he wanted to clear the remnants of the Qing army in the dock, clean up the dock, and carry supplies, this rush came down, and he actually forgot about the pursuit of the Qing army by the first battalion of Milicisis.

Hearing Anania's roar, the guard outside the door rushed in, and when he saw that the colonel was in good shape, he was relieved, and then shouted respectfully: "Honorable colonel, is there anything you need to order?" ”

"Let me ask you, do you have any news of the first battalion of Milysses?" Anania asked anxiously.

"Colonel, didn't Lieutenant Colonel Milysses go to pursue the Qing army on your orders?"

"I know, I'm asking, when was the last time you heard from Milysses?" Anania Express.

"This, this, I didn't hear from Lieutenant Colonel Milisses, oh, by the way, when we landed at the dock to clear the remnants of the enemy, it seems that we heard a fierce battle in the southwest, but the battle was relatively short, and then it returned to calm, and the rest, the subordinates are not clear." Denovsky said bluntly.

Anania's brow furrowed as he spoke.

Of course, he was not worried about the safety of Milices' battalion, the remnants of the Qing army were defeated, and he thought that Milysses would clean them up, but it was not a problem at all, what really worried Anania was that Milysses would keep running with the remnants of the Qing army, and chased all the way to Heihe Tuncheng, and then chose to attack the city directly on impulse?

Anania's worries are very reasonable, if it weren't for Yue Weihua who came out of nowhere and killed a battalion of Milysses, if it were according to the inertia of history, Milysses did go all the way to Heihetun City, although he did not choose to attack the city, but he almost wiped out the remnants of Fei Qing's army, and basically did not let Fei Qing's troops withdraw safely into the city.

Of course, these Ananias will not know, but he knows that although the invasion of the three eastern provinces by the Tsarist Russia's Fifth Route Army is quite smooth, after all, there has not yet been a battalion to lay a precedent for the Qing army to lay a frontier town, no matter how arrogant Anania is, he will not think that a single battalion, a battalion without heavy weapons, can defeat at least one standard (regiment) to defend Heihe Tuncheng, right?

On the other hand, if Milysses chooses to do it, but he doesn't fight it, it will be disobedience, then he, the commander of the regiment, will be the end, after all, the order from above is to let him wait for the order, and for the attack on Heihe Tuncheng, the above has its own overall consideration.

"Bastard."

After figuring out these joints, Anania gritted his teeth and scolded, but cursed and scolded, in this situation where battlefield communications are not so developed, it is impossible to configure telegraph machines to the battalion level, so it can only be remedied by other means.

"Xunovsky, you go to the telegraph squad and send a telegram to the headquarters, informing us that our regiment has gained a firm foothold at the Heihetun Wharf, and that the main force of our regiment is ready to start marching in the direction of Heihetuncheng, and I ask the headquarters to give instructions as soon as possible."

"Yes, Colonel."

"Also, let the guard platoon send a few soldiers to ride horses to the direction of Heihetun, be sure to intercept Milicis so that he cannot attack the city, if he has already attacked the city, he must come back and report as soon as possible."

"Yes, Colonel."

"Also, let Chief of Staff Rochel, as well as Gauck and several other battalion commanders come over for a meeting immediately."

"Yes, Colonel, my subordinates will inform me immediately."

……

Mount Vlar, the temporary headquarters of the Black Dragon Army.

"Company Commander Nie, how is the situation at Heihetun Wharf?"

In the battle two hours ago, Yue Weihua led the Black Dragon Army to annihilate a battalion of the Russian army at the foot of the mountain, originally thinking that Tsarist Russia would have troops to reinforce quickly, after all, Vlar Mountain is less than two kilometers away from Heihetun Wharf, and it may only take ten minutes for the Russian army to rush over, but as a result, no one came.

After cleaning up the battlefield, rearranging the position, waiting left and right, the main force of the Russian army still did not come out, Yue Weihua sent a reconnaissance company to Heihetun Wharf to investigate the situation, no, Nie Youcai had just finished scouting the situation from Heihetun Wharf, and Yue Weihua hurriedly asked as soon as they met.

"Commander, when we arrived at the dock, Lao Maozi was carrying supplies from several steamers and tugboats, well, there are a lot of war horses." Nie Youcai said extremely excitedly, as if those war horses were transported for the Black Dragon Army.

"You mean to say that Lao Maozi has no plans to send troops to Heihetun for the time being?"

Yue Weihua frowned and asked, because in my impression, Heihetun City was also lost tonight in history, and when it was not dawn, the entire Heihetun area became an outpost of the Russian army, of course, how it was lost, Yue Weihua is not very clear.

"I don't think they seem to have that plan, and according to our reconnaissance, the Russian army at the Heihetun Wharf now has only about three battalions, and these Russian troops have been reinforcing the dock positions, cleaning up warehouses, and transporting materials."

"Also, once those steamers and tugboats are unloaded, they will return to the sea immediately, and I personally think that the Russian commander-in-chief may think that the temporary strength is not so sufficient, and it will only be possible to dispatch after the steamers return and increase the troops." Nie Youcai analyzed.

"Reinforcements?" Yue Weihua nodded, and then muttered to himself: "The increase in troops is certain, but I don't know, how long will it take for the steamer of Tsarist Russia to return?" ”

"It doesn't matter how long it takes to return, Commander, if you want me to say, we don't necessarily have to ambush here, I think we can raid the Heishui River dock and wipe out these old hairy people in one fell swoop." Yue Hu jumped out and said.

"I think it's okay, plus Fei Biaotong's more than 500 Qing troops, we have more than 1,000 people combined, and we can take it in one fell swoop under the surprise attack." Yue Qingjie also agreed.

"Commander, I am willing to take the brothers of the fourth company as the vanguard." Song Yaoming, the commander of the fourth company, came more directly.

……

After just a battle, the Black Dragon Army wiped out a battalion of Tsarist Russia within ten minutes, which made the Black Dragon Army more confident, thinking that the Russian army was nothing more than that, coupled with the compliments and encouragement of the Qing army general Fei Qing, as soon as the battlefield was cleaned up, several company commanders of the Black Dragon Army proposed to take the initiative to attack, especially Yue Hu and Song Yaoming.

"Weiyun, what do you think?"

Yue Weihua set his eyes on Yue Weiyun, the commander of the first company, Yue Weiyun is Yue Weihua's cousin, in his thirties, and has always been steady, so in this case, Yue Weihua very much wants to hear Yue Weiyun's opinion.

"Commander, in fact, my personal opinion is still inclined to fight an ambush on Vlar Mountain, after all, there are complete fortifications we have built here, and we can advance and retreat freely, even if the Russian army is several times our strength, we are not afraid, and if we take the initiative to attack, then our advantage will be gone." Yue Weihua paused, and then continued: "However, the brothers below, the morale is high, and the desire to take the initiative to fight is very strong, so this decision is still up to you, the commander." ”

The first and second companies are mainly the old foundations of the Black Dragon Army, almost all the squad and platoon leaders, and most of the soldiers, are the lucky ones who survived Hailan Pao, tonight's battle is the beginning of the battle of revenge, of course their desire to fight is strong, needless to say, Yue Weihua also knows.

Hearing Yue Weiyun's words, Yue Weihua was a lot relieved, and finally the people of the Yue family still had a steady person, a person who was not carried away by the victory, smiled with relief, and said, "Let's go back to the position, be on guard, and let the brothers continue to rest." ”

"Yes, Commander."

As soon as Yue Weihua spoke, he made a plan, and although the others were a little disappointed, they still got up one by one and prepared to go back to rest.

"That, Commander, don't think about it anymore, there are so many war horses." Nie Youcai asked in a whispered with some unwillingness.

"Haha, you old Nie, don't worry, these war horses will be ours sooner or later,......

"Report to the commander, Heihetun Wharf, Lao Maozi has moved."

Bian Jiude's voice came from outside the dark castle, interrupting Yue Weihua's laughter, Bian Jiude is now the deputy company commander of the sniper company, and he is mainly responsible for keeping an eye on the situation at Heihetun Wharf tonight.

"Oh."

As soon as Yue Weihua heard this, he quickly drilled out of the dark castle, and after quickly coming to a high ground, he took out his night vision device and observed, and soon, three horsemen appeared in his field of vision, and after a little thought, he ordered: "Nie Youcai, order the brothers of the reconnaissance company to kill the people, but they are not allowed to use their guns." ”

"Yes, Commander." Nie Youcai immediately took the order and left.

"Haha, I'll just say that Lao Maozi will definitely not be so honest, so let's annihilate one of their battalions." Yue Weihua observed for a while, then put away the night vision device, and continued: "Inform the brothers, be ready to fight at any time." ”
