Vikaria showed a grateful look on her face, and Lin Fei smiled: "You have done something very important for us, we will definitely not ignore you, you have a good rest, I am going to apologize to the Russian ambassador Isinlovsky." ”

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he waved his hand at Lu Xian'er and ordered, "Xian'er, take Vikaria down to rest, since you have a good relationship with her, let her live in your room." ”

Vikaria was stunned, what did Lin Fei mean by letting himself live in Lu Xian'er's room?

Vikaria blushed, embarrassed to ask, and let Lu Xian'er take her out.

Lin Fei then went to apologize to Isinlovsky, saying that "there are serious loopholes in the management of chemical weapons in the Chinese Empire, which allowed the criminals to steal chemical weapons", and Lin Fei is willing to publicly apologize and compensate.

Isinlovsky didn't believe that Lin Fei used chemical weapons to rescue Vikaria, so he didn't say anything more, and asked Lin Fei to compensate a large amount of money before he stopped pursuing the matter.

The money given to Isinlovsky, Lin Fei didn't think it was a big deal, anyway, he was about to march into the outer northeast and regain the lost territory, and a sum of money was nothing compared to 1.5 million square kilometers of land.

Soroyev's side found out that the people of the Chinese Empire did not send Vikalia back, and he was very angry, and went to negotiate with the people of the Chinese Empire.

After a period of time, Soroyev also saw clearly that the so-called chemical weapons attack was simply a trap set by Lin Fei to rescue Vikalia.

Soroyev figured it out and couldn't do anything, Vikalia had been rescued by Lin Fei, and he could still snatch Vikalia back from Lin Fei's hands.

Vikaria's matter came to an end, Lin Fei seized the Russian army's firing of the Chinese Empire to hype it up, and made a face of "we are the victims" in front of the international community, and sure enough, he won the sympathy of many countries, including Britain and France.

Britain and France were at odds with Russia, and they stood in the same trench in the matter of saving the Qing government, but now, Britain and France were eager to see Russia blow up its losses and see Russia and the Chinese Empire at war.

As a result, Britain and France, as well as Germany and other countries, jumped out one after another to accuse Russia, saying that Russia had carried out barbaric and shameless provocations against the Chinese Empire.

Russia was calculated by Lin Fei, and he couldn't argue, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it into his stomach.

The time soon came on August 1, 1902, when Lin Fei saw that the time was ripe, and gave an order, the entire Heilongjiang fleet was dispatched to take the Russian Amur River fleet on the opposite bank.

The first battle to recover the Outer Northeast was about to start on the Heilongjiang River, and the two sides of the battle were two river fleets.

On the Russian side, 100 river gunboats were equipped, each of which was equipped with two Maxim heavy machine guns, which were not much different from those during the Battle of the Songhua River.

On the Chinese Empire, it was equipped with a brand-new Wenchen-class inland river gunboat, which had a displacement of only more than 100 tons, was steam-powered, and was mobile and flexible in the river water.

The reason why this type of river gunboat was named "Wenchen class" is because Lin Fei felt that there were emperor-class cruisers and dynasty-class battleships, and the tonnage of river gunboats was relatively small, and they fought on inland rivers, compared with the "emperor" and "dynasty", they were naturally auxiliary weapons, so they were called Wenchen class.

However, the Wenchen-class river gunboats do not have a separate ship name, and are only distinguished by numbers.

In terms of firepower, the most powerful weapon of the Wenchen-class inland river gunboat is the four sky-shaking bow rocket launchers, and the battle of the Songhua River has shown that rockets are the best way to attack the Russian army's inland river gunboats, so Lin Fei equipped the Wenchen-class inland river gunboats with rockets and 16 bombs.

In terms of protection, the displacement of the Wenchen-class river gunboats is relatively small, and it is obviously not suitable to use heavy steel as protective armor, so Lin Fei used a composite armor of hardwood and hard aluminum alloy.

In the past year, only 20 of them have been launched into service, and even if they are 20, they are enough for the Russian army to drink a pot.

In addition to the Wenchen-class inland river gunboats, there are also more than 60 old gunboats left over from the Battle of the Songhua River, and these inland river gunboats together form the Heilongjiang fleet.

The arrogant Russian army thought that their river gunboats had a performance advantage, and rushed to the Wenchen-class river gunboats of the Chinese Empire at full speed.

Fortunately, the Wenchen-class river gunboats had armor made of hardwood and hard aluminum alloy, so the bullets of the Russian river gunboats did not penetrate the Wenchen-class river gunboats.

The distance was shortened to two or three hundred meters, and only then did the Wenchen-class river gunboats return fire, and rockets were fired at the Russian river gunboats.

The next scene is almost a reenactment of the Battle of the Songhua River, the rockets hit the Russian river gunboats, exploded, raised dazzling fires, and billowing smoke, and then, I saw the Russian river gunboats sinking one by one, and in the hour-long battle, more than 30 Russian river gunboats sank.

The Russian river gunboats were so powerful that they had no choice but to retreat to the dock, and the Wenchen-class river gunboats would certainly not let them go, and they were in hot pursuit.

The Russian river gunboats quickly withdrew into the dock, and the heavy artillery outside the dock began to roar, blocking the attack of the Wenchen-class river gunboats, and the Wenchen-class river gunboats had no choice but to abandon the plan of completely annihilating the Russian river gunboats and withdrew to their own dock.

The Heilongjiang fleet came back and counted the battle losses and results, and found that 15 old river gunboats had been sunk, three Wenchen-class river gunboats had been damaged, and at least 60 Russian river gunboats had been sunk, and the Heilongjiang fleet had won a complete victory.

The Russian river gunboats were all cowered in the dock, exactly the same as in the original Songhua River Campaign.

During the Battle of the Songhua River, the Chinese Empire dispatched the Monkey King airship to annihilate the Russian inland river gunboats in one fell swoop.

However, the Monkey King airship was about to drop bombs, when suddenly a cloud of smoke rose in mid-air, and countless shrapnel flew out of the smoke cloud, shooting at the Monkey King airship, two Monkey King airships were injured on the spot, and the captain of one of the Monkey King airships was killed on the spot.

The Russian army turned out to have anti-aircraft guns.

Anti-aircraft guns are not something difficult to develop, in the era of Lin Fei, anti-aircraft guns appeared after the appearance of airships, and Russia has many arsenals in the Outer Northeast, and it is not difficult to manufacture anti-aircraft guns.

The Monkey King airship threw aerial bombs against the rain of anti-aircraft guns, and its accuracy was greatly affected, and many of the bombs missed their targets, 108,000 miles away from the target.

The person who commanded the battle on the Monkey King airship was none other than Lin Gecheng, the commander of the airship unit, and when he saw anti-aircraft artillery shells flying on the ground, he immediately ordered the Monkey King airship formation to retreat.

When Lin Gecheng returned to the base in Heihe City, the first thing he did was to send a message to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, the Russian army has used anti-aircraft guns, and our Monkey King airship can't bomb like before, I hope Your Majesty will allow us to dispatch the latest aircraft to attack the Russian army." ”

Lin Fei flatly refused and told Lin Gecheng that he should not think about the dispatch of the plane, now is not a good time to make a sortie, and I will never dispatch the plane.

Lin Gecheng could only ponder a way to attack the Russian army's inland river gunboats, but he didn't have any good ideas, at this time, the front-line commander-in-chief, Lei Guang, the commander of the first armored division, came up with a way, that is, directly launched a river-crossing operation, escorted by Wenchen-class river gunboats on the side, if the Russian river gunboats dared to come, they would all be wiped out, and after the army landed, surround the dock and wipe them out.

Lin Gecheng agreed to Lei Guang's style of play, and Lei Guang immediately ordered the Huaxia Army to attack and launch a battle to cross the river.

After waiting for so long, the land campaign to recover the Outer Northeast has finally begun.

The Zhouqiao troops began to build bridges, and the Russian army learned the lessons of the defeat in the Battle of the Songhua River, and desperately wanted to prevent the Huaxia Army from erecting the Zhouqiao.

One after another, the Russian river gunboats sailed out of the wharf and plunged straight into the boat bridge that was being erected, and the Wenchen-class river gunboats guarding the side immediately set out to engage in a fierce battle with the Russian river gunboats.

The battle lasted five or six hours, and finally ended with the rout of the Russian river gunboats, and the Huaxia army successfully erected four pontoon bridges over the river.

The 1st Armored Division took the lead, drove across the pontoon bridge, and attacked the Russian army's defense line, this time the Russian army's defense line is no longer a concrete wall, because building a concrete wall also requires a lot of resources, and the Russian army just dug a deep and wide trench on the ground.

Just as the 1st Armored Division was about to rush to the front of the Russian defense line, suddenly a group of artillery fighting vehicles rushed out and blocked the way of the artillery fighting vehicles of the Chinese Empire.

It turns out that these artillery chariots are the killer weapons of the artillery chariots carefully prepared by the Russian army to fight against the invasion.

Since the artillery chariots of the Chinese Empire were born, they have caused great damage to hostile forces, including the Russian army, and the elite Cossack cavalry of the Russian army has even been miserably packed up by the artillery chariots of the Chinese Empire.

Of course, the Russian army is not stupid, it is impossible to be tortured and killed by the artillery chariots of the Chinese Empire, so it began to develop its own artillery chariots with all its might, and after nearly two years of research, it finally came up with its own artillery chariots and put them into battle today.
