354 Hubeishan won a great victory

The Russian fortress only had shooting holes and observation windows to reconnoiter the situation outside, so people's vision was restricted, so the Russian army built bunkers outside the fortress to protect the fortress.

The Chinese army is equipped with light machine guns, and when going up the hill from the mountain road, the most important purpose of the machine gunners is to find a machine gun position, and after finding it, four or five machine guns are pressed against the same bunker, and the Russian soldiers are crushed by the bullets behind the sandbags, and they can't even lift their heads.

When the machine guns stopped, it was when the Chinese troops rushed in front of them, and at this time, their Mosin Nagant rifles were too slow to fire, so the Russian soldiers in the bunkers were quickly slaughtered.

The mountain division occupied the bunker, and the bazooka soldiers brought the fortress closer to their range, but they did not dare to shoot, because the rocket would spray a high-temperature tail flame backwards at the moment of launch, so no one could stand thirty meters behind when it was launched, but the mountain road was very narrow, and there was no room for firing at all.

This is also what Chen Fei did not expect before the battle began, although the bazooka cannot be used, but the machine gun can be used, the bunker is only forty meters away from the fortress, and the machine guns are aimed at the shooting hole, although the machine gunner does not have Chen Fei's superb shooting skills, he can still suppress the Russian army.

Under the cover of machine guns, the flamethrowers approached the fortress, and then the flames flew, and the vodka used by the Russian army to strengthen their courage in the fortress became their talisman, and the wine bottle exploded under the heat, and the fragments injured many people.

The sky-high flames that ignited when the lower fortress was breached made the people inside the upper fortress feel unprecedented fear, and they heard from the defeated army at Huyakou that the Chinese had used a completely new weapon that could breathe fire and burn the fortress from the outside.

But few people believe in this, the Iron Blood Regiment is worthy of being an elite unit, and the officers in it are also of high cultural quality, and they point out from the perspective of technology that this weapon cannot exist, first of all, this weapon needs fuel, and it cannot be solid fuel, it must be liquid fuel, gasoline is the best choice, but where do the Chinese get so much gasoline! The second question is how to get gasoline to come out of the tank! Where did they know about the oil industry in Linyuan?

The first division, which occupied the two heights on the west side, heard the machine guns on the mountain, saw the rising fire, and its heart was itchy, hoping that reinforcements would come over for them to fight, and at this moment, a group of Russian troops came from the mountain road.

The first division finally waited for the opportunity, they began to shoot at the Russian army, the Russian army did not expect that there would be an ambush of Chinese here, was taken by surprise, and suffered heavy casualties for a time.

The two fronts are in full swing, two hours have passed, the Russian fortress on the ground has been emptied, and the mountain division began to move into the underground tunnels and compete with the Russian army room by room, this Russian army has a strong will to fight, even if it is broken by a bullet in the stomach, it will not put down the gun, but the weapons and equipment of the Russian army are far from the Chinese army, and the fighting quality is also different from that of the mountain division, so soon, the underground tunnel was also captured.

As soon as the 183 heights were defeated, they should have attacked other peaks to the west, but Chen Fei found that there were a lot of Russian reinforcements before the 102 and 119 heights, so he ordered the mountain division to rest in place, and the second brigade outflanked the two highlands, encircling this reinforcement in one fell swoop.

On the narrow mountain road, the Russian army was in a dilemma and was quickly annihilated, after which the mountain division began to continue to attack the fortress westward, at this time they found that the resistance they received had weakened a lot, and many of the bunkers outside the fortress were only guarded by one or two soldiers, so the speed of the attack also increased a lot.

It turned out that the fortress command of the Russian army miscalculated the situation from the beginning, they thought that it was only a small group of Chinese troops attacking the 183 heights, and they did not expect that there would be so many people, so they transferred a lot of people from the back peaks, wanting to outflank them in one fell swoop.

The battle lasted until the evening of the next day, when all the fortresses of Hubeishan were conquered, killing 1,389 people below the commander of the Russian battalion, seizing more than 100,000 catties of grain, more than 3,000 boxes of ammunition, and 10 200-millimeter guns.

Seeing those captured artillery, a mystery in Chen Fei's heart was finally solved, that is, for what in the whole battle, the artillery with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Russian army did not fire a single bullet, it turned out that the artillery of the Russian army did not design and manufacture a hoe structure in order to facilitate transportation up the mountain, the artillery was installed on the guide rail, and the artillery mount slid backwards when firing to offset the recoil, but at this time it was already October in the northeast, coupled with the high altitude of the mountain, so the temperature was lower, and the lubricating oil used by the Russian army failed at low temperatures, So much so that the artillery of the Russian army did not dare to fire a single bullet.

After Lin Yuan learned that the First Division and the Mountain Division had captured the fortress of Hubei Mountain, he ordered them to rest in place, and Chen Fei asked people to distribute the captured beef, pork, and eggs to the various departments, and found the most famous chefs from the local area, and cooked them carefully, and the whole camp was filled with all kinds of aromas, as if it was the New Year. Liu Shijiu found Chen Fei and said, "Commander, I have a request, can you agree?" ”

Chen Fei smiled: "What request?" ”

Liu 19 said embarrassedly: "Can you give the Russians some wine to everyone?" ”

The first thing Lin Yuan did when he established the army was to write disciplinary regulations, which were basically written in accordance with the disciplinary regulations of our army, one of which was that he was not allowed to drink alcohol on holidays, and he was not allowed to drink alcohol except for the approval of the commander above the battalion level during wartime, and the first thing all recruits did when they entered the army was to study the discipline regulations, so Liu Shijiu asked so difficult.

Chen Fei said with a smile: "It's okay to drink, but you can't drink too much, one by one." Liu Shijiu thought that Chen Fei would refuse, but he didn't expect Chen Fei to agree so happily and happily go to drink.

When the first and sixth divisions were resting, Lin Yuan began to fight wits and courage in diplomacy, due to the backwardness of the Russians' means of communication, after the defeat of Xiaoshang Bridge, the commander of the Russian army in Blagoveshchensk, Grodeko, still knew nothing, until the Battle of Hubeishan was over, Grogerko knew that the defenders of Hubeishan had been completely annihilated.

Subsequently, the Russian Tsar sent a note to the Qing government through Boris Kozak, the ambassador to China, expressing the strongest dissatisfaction with the flagrant provocation of Lin Yuan, the governor of Northeast China, and strongly demanding that the Qing government remove Lin Yuan from his post and investigate him.

The note was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing government, the Prime Minister's Yamen, who was confused, because Lin Yuan's military action was not reported to the Qing court, and Lin Yuan ordered Shen Wanqing not to report this military operation, so the Prime Minister's Yamen did not know as much as the Russians.

The Prime Minister's Yamen had no choice but to prevaricate the Russians with his words, saying that we would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, and hoped that His Majesty the Russian Tsar would not be misled by false information, and that the Russians could not believe the fact that the Prime Minister's Yamen did not know the truth, and they believed that the Prime Minister's Yamen was colluding with Lin Yuan and deliberately delaying time. Lin Yuan smiled heartily after seeing that note, and thought, "Finally, it's your turn to express your strongest dissatisfaction!" What makes you even more dissatisfied is yet to come. ”
