Since the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has implemented effective management in the Ili River Valley, and later the Central Plains Dynasty has changed several times, and the vicissitudes of history have been precipitated here very heavily. Since the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court has set up General Ili to govern here. In fact, the traditional Ili region includes the Ili River Valley, Tacheng, Altai, and the vast area east of Lake Balkosh. At that time, the Qing court built nine cities in the Ili River valley with Huiyuan as the center, which became the political and military center of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.

At that time, in order to consolidate the frontier, the Qing court had migrated a Manchu tribe living in the northeast to the southern part of the Ili River Valley as a whole to settle down, in order to demonstrate the Qing court's determination to consolidate the frontier, and this Manchu tribe is today's Xibe tribe. With the rise of the Russian Empire, under the continuous encroachment of the Russians, the Ili region has long been unrecognizable, most of the land has been stolen by Tsarist Russia, and the once glorious city of Huiyuan has also been burned.

As the saying goes: if you don't go to Xinjiang, you don't know the size of China, and if you don't go to Yili, you don't know the beauty of Xinjiang. The Ili River Valley is known as the south of the Yangtze River and has historically been the traditional Silk Road. The Gongnaisi grassland, Tangbula grassland, Nalati grassland, and Zhaosu grassland in the territory constitute the most beautiful grassland scenery. There are dense forests, vast grasslands, deep valleys, turquoise lakes, and clear blue skies.

Nearly 90 percent of the land is suitable for agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry, and the vegetation coverage rate of forests and grasslands is close to 70 percent. It occupies less than 4 percent of the land in Xinjiang and supports 12 percent of the population, making it the most densely populated area in Xinjiang. The famous apple ditch in the Ili River valley is full of wild apples growing all over the mountains. For dozens of miles, you can smell the intoxicating fragrance of apples.

The Journey to the West depicts Tang Sheng's master and apprentice Xitianqu passing through Persimmon Valley, which is based on the apple ditch in the Ili River Valley. It is said that the wild apples of the apple ditch are not picked by anyone. The perennial free landing, coupled with the humid climate here, has formed an apple swamp on the ground, several meters thick at its deepest, and it is impossible for people to enter it. In addition, a large amount of biogas is formed after the apple is fermented, which can suffocate people, so the apple ditch is tempting. But this is the valley of death, a valley of mystery that has become isolated from the world.

The first target of the attack led by Jie Zhenguo was a Russian forage and grain reserve located on the western edge of the Nalati steppe. According to the information provided by the Kazakh Yeerken, Jie Zhenguo formulated the first target. The Russian army's forage and grain reserve warehouse is one of the nine cities, Jinghe City, which has been abandoned and is known as one of the reserve warehouses of the Russian army.

Depart from the cliff cave. Under the guidance of Yeerken. They arrived at 10 o'clock in the morning to the west side of the Jing River. "Hao Bisheng!" "Here!" Jie Zhenguo put down the binoculars and continued: "The sky is just dawning, the Russian army defending the warehouse is sleeping, you take two people to be sure to investigate the situation of the Russian army, and we will start the operation after dark!" Hao Bicheng got the order, and with a wave of his hand, he led the two soldiers forward. After setting up the guard post, Jie Zhenguo ordered everyone to rest and recuperate.

The headquarters of the Russian army in Huocheng, a small city located in the border area, is currently overcrowded. It can be said that it has never been so lively. The headquarters of the Russian army is located in the city of Huo, and the guard unit in the city is about the strength of a brigade. Due to the harassment and attack tactics of the Russian army, it was very successful. And it was fruitful, so the commander Kalinin was in a good mood. His clever tactics of avoiding his edge won the approval of the Russian high command. At present, Tsarist Russia has reached a consensus on the powerful attack power of the Chinese Imperial Army. Therefore, the use of pragmatic tactics strategically is the only option.

At this time, Commander Kalinin looked at the military map and said with a radiant expression: "Everyone, our strategy of exchanging time for space has been a great success, we have left a lifeless dead city to the Chinese, and our frequent attacks have caused the Chinese army to be stuck, and they are currently trapped in the Dihua area and cannot move." If the Chinese army is unable to meet the logistical supply, they will be embarrassed to return by next spring at the latest. ”

"Your Excellency General is clever, we are backed by the rich Ili River Valley, and the Chinese cannot fight with us." The chief of staff of the Russian army said happily. In fact, Kalinin made a strategic miscalculation. He believed that the Chinese army could not attack, and that it was its strategy and tactics that played a role. However, he did not expect that the purpose of the Chinese army was to occupy Dihua and gain a firm foothold, and there was no attempt to attack on a large scale at all. By the time Kalinin understood that it was too late.

At dusk, Hao Bisheng came back from reconnaissance. "Report to the captain, after careful observation during the day, the soldiers of the Russian garrison warehouse are cavalry units, about a company. The Russian barracks are located in the northeast corner of the city, and the defense is very lax, and the Russian army is a fixed sentry post and has no mobile sentry post. Jie Zhenguo groaned slightly: "Tonight, the 1st squad will attack from the south, the 2nd squad will attack from the east, and I will lead the 3rd squad to attack from the north. ”

"The 1st squad goes in first, and takes out all the sentries inside, then outflanks the northeast corner, and then we move together and eat the Russian cavalry." Jie Zhenguo took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and then said, "Everyone eat something first, and then start acting." The time for the attack was set at one o'clock in the morning. This means that before one o'clock in the morning, Team 1 must deal with all the sentinels inside. ”

At ten midnight, a group of figures appeared in the grass outside the southern city gate. Compared with the castles in the Central Plains, the walls of Jinghe are simply pediatric, and the walls made of sand and soil are dilapidated, and they are only more than three meters high. Half of the arrow tower at the city gate has collapsed, and a Russian sentry sloshes on the city wall. Hao Bisheng waved his hand, and the two team members quickly reached the city wall, and then threw their claws to hook it. The two team members climbed the city wall and cleanly killed the Russian sentries.

A few minutes later, Hao Bisheng and 10 other team members climbed the city wall. "You two turn along the city wall to the east gate, and after you finish dealing with the Russian sentries, immediately get in touch with the 2nd squad. The four of you turn along the city wall to the west, and after clearing the sentry at the west gate, turn to the north side. After taking out the sentry at the north gate, immediately get in touch with the captain. After Hao Bisheng finished speaking, he immediately led the rest of the team members to touch inside.

At about one o'clock in the morning, a torch appeared on the arrow tower of the northern city. "Captain, the first squad has succeeded!" Ouyang Tie said excitedly. "Attack!" Jie Zhenguo decisively gave the order, and the team members hurriedly ran towards the city gate. Entering the city, according to Jihua to the northeast corner, the Russian army did not notice at this time, and was still asleep. Entering midnight, the temperature dropped, and the Nalati grassland was a little cold at night, but the fighting enthusiasm of the team members was extremely high.

Soon in the northeast corner, Jie Zhenguo and Hao Bisheng and Fu Jian returned to converge. "Captain, all 15 sentinels in the city have been killed, including 19 sentinels from the four gates. We searched inside, but there was no one. "Hao Bisheng reported. Originally, the three squads were divided according to their strengths. Hao Bisheng's team is concentrated in good hands such as fighting, assassination, sneak attack, and rock climbing. Fu Jian's team concentrated on good hands such as explosives and bomb throwing. Ouyang Tie's squad concentrated on good players such as shooting and horse kung fu.

In the dark, Jie Zhenguo said: "After the situation of the Russian army is clear for a while, you can launch an attack, and you must fight quickly, not in love." Remember not to be a single living mouth, not to let the Russian army know about our situation. Everyone nodded. As soon as the words fell, the two reconnaissance team members came back to report: "Captain, the situation has been clarified." The Russian cavalry lived in a courtyard, with a square to the north and a horse post to the south, and the Russian horses were concentrated in the south. The gate of the courtyard is located on the west side, and there are two Russian sentries. ”

"Ouyang Tie!" "Here!" "After entering the courtyard, you take two people to control the Russian war horses, and we must use the Russian war horses to retreat. After our attack is successful, the Russian army will soon surround us in all directions when they hear the news. A moment my gunfire was an order to strike. "Approaching the courtyard where the Russian army lived, I saw two Russian sentries wearing overcoats and hunched necks, leaning against the door frame and dozing, they did not expect to be attacked at all. Jie Zhenguo did not hesitate, raised his hand to grab two robs, and the two Russian sentries hit the ground with a sound in their sleep.

"Cover the group, don't let a single Russian soldier run out of the yard!" After Jie Zhenguo finished speaking, he took the lead in climbing the courtyard wall, and then climbed to the roof. The vast majority of houses in the west are single-slope horizontal roofs, so it is very easy to stand on the roof and carry out the blow from a high position. The kung fu team members had already rushed into the courtyard and ran directly to the house where the Russian army lived. In the dark, Jie Zhenguo found a hut next to the horse pillar on the south side, and a black shadow came out, and he was about to raise his gun to shoot, when suddenly the two black shadows were entangled together.

It turned out that Ouyang Tie was holding a saber and went straight to the position of the Russian army's war horse, which happened to collide with the guy who ran out of the hut. Coming out of the hut was the commander of the Russian company, this guy reacted quickly, and when he heard the gunshots, he rushed out wearing underwear and carrying a saber. Suddenly, the two scuffled together, and Jie Zhenguo naturally couldn't shoot.

The Russian company commander is a big man, half a head taller than Ouyang Tie. As soon as the two of them exchanged sabers, they collided together, and Ouyang Tie felt numb in his mouth, knowing that he had encountered a tough opponent. The two of you have been fighting back and forth for more than ten rounds, and Ouyang Tie's physical strength is a little exhausted. Suddenly, the opponent's momentum was strong and slashed, Ouyang Tie subconsciously blocked, and the saber was knocked away with a bang. The flames of the explosion at this moment reflected the hideous face of the Russian company commander. The saber was already hanging high over his head, and there was no time to dodge.

The two were fighting, Jie Zhenguo really looked at it on the roof, and realized that Ouyang Tie had met an opponent, but he couldn't see the two sides clearly, and he couldn't shoot for fear of accidental injury. Just when he was anxious, there happened to be a scene just now. With the light of the explosion, Jie Zhenguo decisively pulled the trigger, and the Russian company commander was shot in the head and fell to the ground with a bang. (To be continued......)
