Chapter 390: Purge
"At present, there are about 74,000 Russians in the vicinity of Boli, and in the past year or so since we occupied Boli, the number of Han Chinese who have emigrated is 3,727, and 573 have moved to do business and logg."
"Mayor Toskton, Deputy Mayor Ma Juntuo, Red Russia came from the west, and their forces were blocked in the area of Irkutsk. However, the army of the Republic of China also arrived at the front line from Heilongjiang and Outer Mongolia one after another, and our Republic of China is determined to win this battle, and we also ask the two mayors to do their best to maintain stability in the rear, so that the people under their rule can farm, graze, and hunt with peace of mind, and not be bewitched by Red Russia. ”
In the conference room, Rocky sat at the top and said to the two mayors and deputy mayors of Burleigh. Although the Republic of China controlled the absolute military strength of Boli, due to the tense war, the army originally stationed in Boli was reduced from two divisions and one brigade to one division and one brigade. However, with the addition of a mixed brigade of White Russian troops controlled by Sidené, the number of troops that the Republic of China could directly use on the part of Boli exceeded 20,000, and a considerable part of them were rationed with horses. In order to ensure the safety of the rear of the battlefield, the task of clearing the Red Russian guerrillas in the rear of the Heilongjiang Army was handed over to Rocky. And the position of the commander of the Boli cluster temporarily established by the Boli garrison also fell into the hands of Rocky without accident.
"Please rest assured that we will definitely work hard to maintain stability in the rear and never give the evil Soviets any opportunity to take advantage of it." Toskerton was a mayor elected from among the Russians and had some roots in Burleigh. The size of Eberly, especially under the large number of people who fled after the war, the population was not much stronger than that of a densely populated town in the south of the Yangtze River of the Republic of China, but in the Russian Far East, it was already a rare place where the population gathered, in order to facilitate management. It is directly zoned for the market.
"Regarding immigration, is there a temporary slowdown? After all, it is the time of war. Ma Juntuo said with some hesitation.
"Heilongjiang will make arrangements for this, and I can't intervene, but immigrants are prone to conflict with the native Russians, and the interests of the Russians in the jurisdiction must be taken into account, and these people cannot be pushed to the side of the Red Russians. In addition, the whereabouts of the Red Russian partisans are provided. Give a big reward. Lodge pressed the document on the table with his hand, "For Mobakir to provide the specific location of the Red Russian guerrillas in the small town of Kutur this time, in order to ensure its safety, the Republic of China will give him a considerable reward, and this behavior will be actively encouraged in the future." ”
"Boli will also reward him for this." Tosketton usually attaches great importance to the protection of Russians, and has had several conflicts with the immigration office presided over by Ma Juntuo, but they have all been resolved through coordination. Tosketton even suspected that he would not be able to do it for long in this position, after all, he was more interested in defending the interests of the Russians, but every time he disputed it. Heilongjiang didn't even move his position for a while, but sat more and more steadily, and even he himself was a little surprised by the measurement of the Republic of China. As for the Red Russian partisans and the like, Toskotton was not aware of it, and in this part of the Far East the Soviet forces were relatively weak. Boli's Russian army, as well as the Russians, are living quite well now, Red Russia. White Russia will not necessarily be able to create a more comfortable life for them. At least that's what the Russians below think.
Ma Juntuo knew what Tosketon was thinking, even though he had been in Boli for more than a year. However, he had no personal relationship with Toskaton, but Toskdon's desire to defend the Russians was also consistent with the interests of the Republic of China at this time, and the Republic of China wanted to make the Russians near Boli feel that the Republic of China would not affect their lives after recovering this land, but would only make them live more stable and enjoy lighter taxes. In the final analysis, it is this mentality of Toskuton that the Republic of China borrowed. Supporting Russians is only one of the jobs, and the most important thing is to migrate and open railway bridges. In one year, in addition to meeting the employment needs of Northeast China, more than 3,000 people have immigrated in Boli, which seems to be an inconspicuous data. However, it shows the difference from the Japanese directly sending troops to attack and plunder the land. The land of the Far East is so vast that you can reach a large area without fighting. What is really difficult is that the people of the Republic of China can settle here and develop. The entanglement of interests is inevitable, and as long as Toskton can stabilize the White Russia in the Boli area, then his position will be as stable as Mount Tai.
As for those Red Russian guerrillas, Ma Juntuo is not too worried, the war has its own soldiers to do, the strength of the 6th Division in the Boli area is of course not just talking, since the war with the Japanese army, the spirit of the 6th Division has also been fighting, even the Japanese army with superior strength was defeated by the 6th Division, and the Red Russian guerrillas in the Far East of more than 20,000 can only be regarded as an isolated army for the 6th Division. For the time being, the Red Russian army from the west could only be blocked in the area of Transbaikal.
As Boli's administrative system became more and more perfect, Lodge was able to extricate himself from Boli's semi-military governance and take full responsibility for the conquest of the Red Russian guerrillas in the Far East.
Yes, a large herd of horses rushed forward in an open area that was almost a wilderness. At the same time, there was a similarly sized team that outflanked from another direction.
As Frunze feared, compared to the Japanese army, the northeast, which has the Mongolian steppe, has a large supply of horses, and its mobility ability is not comparable to that of the Japanese army. In this kind of wilderness, a car is not as good as a horse.
"Quick, flares over there!" Liu Haoqing saw the fireworks rising in the sky, and shouted excitedly on his face, the 6th Division is really lucky, this time it has taken the important task of recovering the country. Nearly 200,000 troops blocked the western side, and on a million square kilometers of land from Lake Baikal to Temple Street, the Red Russian guerrillas scattered all over the country have become turtles in the urn, and unless no trace is found, once exposed, they will soon be surrounded by the superior forces of the 6th Division.
This time, more than 2,000 Red Russian troops in the small town of Kutur were exposed, and the 6th Division swarmed like sharks smelling blood.
"Oops! It's a signal flare for the Republic of China army again! "In the small town of Kutur, Josudara, who was eating black bread, saw the light and sound of fire in the air, and his face changed dramatically.
"Quick, retreat quickly, withdraw from here, the army of the Republic of China is about to arrive." Josudara took a bite of the black bread in her hand. Even if he is the commander of this team, he can't waste a single piece of food, and civilians flee south in large numbers, and every piece of food is very precious.
"What are you afraid of, Vasiil is less than fifty miles away from us, we just need to drag this yellow-skinned monkey. As soon as Vasiil arrives, we can encircle and annihilate this Republic of China army that does not know whether it is alive or dead, just like eating the Japanese. Someone spoke.
"You know, I don't have time to explain it to you." Hosudara impatiently turned on his horse, and the Republic of China army came prepared, just because of the reputation that the other party had built in the Far East, he could not take it lightly.
The hooves of the horses of the brigade trampled on the ground as if they were on the hearts of men.
Bang bang bang!
A sound southeast of the small town of Kutur told Josudara that it was too late.
"Hey. Block, keep these invaders out of the town, we have to use the weapons in our hands to tell these invaders that the Far East is our Russians! "Just seeing the surging horses in front of them, all the Red Russian soldiers present knew that this war might not be spared, they used to be able to fight the Japanese army in winter, relying on their mobility in the snow, not that their combat ability was really above the Japanese army. Restrictions on the use of snow for Japanese reinforcements. Once hundreds of Japanese troops were encircled, Red Russian soldiers on sleds swarmed in. After winning the battle, they withdrew in pieces, and the Japanese army could only shrink into a very small amount of traffic. And the situation in front of them has been reversed, although they are more familiar with the locality, but how can two legs outrun the mounts of the soldiers of the Republic of China?
"Dismount and fight!"
The lieutenant who rushed to the front jumped almost as soon as the horse was still running in small steps, and this kind of riding skill was even more clever than that of ordinary cavalrymen, but Wu Gangke didn't just want to be a cavalryman.
In the case that Red Russia has already torn its face with the Republic of China. There is no longer any need for the two sides to maintain a semblance of peace.
The soldiers dismounted one after another and threw themselves into the battle as fast as they could. The cavalry brigade went on another mission, and the army that appeared in the small town of Kutur at this time was only a group of cavalry infantry, with average horsemanship, and was not good at cavalry combat. However, the ability to use the horses to maintain rapid movement to the battlefield was sufficient, and if it had been replaced by the Japanese army, which was seriously short of horse troops, Hosudara would have led the people to run away without a trace. The Red Russian soldiers also relied on some low-rise buildings such as houses in the town to defend on the spot.
Bang, bang, bang! Bullets hit the wall one after another, splashing a lot of dirt. There are several more rows of bullet holes in the low houses.
Each house is separated by tens or hundreds of meters, and if you rush directly like this, you can rush through, but this price can't be paid, and the elite soldiers in the Northeast Army are not so easy to train.
The Red Russian soldiers fought very tenaciously, and they saw that the enemy troops behind them were constantly pouring up, and they were still fighting.
"Hey, go die!" IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE SUDDENNESS OF THIS RAID, LIU HAOQING DROPPED ALL THE 75MM GUNS AND ONLY BROUGHT A FEW 37MM FLAT-FIRE GUNS.
A cannon was quickly pulled to the front, and a flat-fire gun didn't require much skill, so the hole was aimed at the opposite room and the shot passed.
In the air of black smoke and dust, the low buildings collapsed, and with the range of the flat-fire guns, the heavy machine guns could not hit so far.
As a small house collapsed, the Russian soldiers who shot inside were immediately buried alive.
The artillery excitedly aimed their guns at other houses blocking the road, and at this time, the immigrants of the Republic of China could not come to such a far place for a while, so they were not out of operational needs, but also to destroy all the houses here, so as to prevent the Red Russian army from developing into one of the base areas according to the conditions here.
"Boom, boom!" An even louder explosion sounded in the ranks of the 17th Regiment of the 6th Division, and two huge flames took the lives of more than a dozen soldiers in an instant.
Liu Haoqing was also hit in the face by the dirt in his face, but fortunately there was no shrapnel in it, otherwise the war had just begun, and he estimated that it would be dangerous.
"FUCK, IT'S THE JAPANESE ARMY'S 75MM MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY, THESE USELESS JAPANESE, HOW COME EVEN THE ARTILLERY WAS CAPTURED BY A FEW RED RUSSIAN SOLDIERS WHO FOUGHT GUERRILLAS." Liu Haoqing shook off the hands of the soldiers who came to help him and scolded, "Fuck, the other side has artillery, put the formation out and defeat this guerrilla force as quickly as possible, don't give them a chance to breathe!" ”
If he changes to a dangerous mountainous area, Liu Qingshan may immediately lead people to retreat temporarily. HOWEVER, THE SMALL TOWN OF KUTUR HAS NO DANGER TO DEFEND, ONLY SOME HIGH AND LOW HOUSES, AND SOME SIMPLE FORTIFICATIONS, WHICH CANNOT WITHSTAND THE FIRE OF 37MM FLAT-FIRE GUNS, AND IT SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM TO DEFEAT THIS RUSSIAN ARMY AT A RELATIVELY FAST SPEED. The momentum was violent, and he was beaten back by the guerrillas who were a little worse than the troops, and Liu Haoqing couldn't afford to lose this face.
"Shoot back, shoot back!" After the houses were successively named by the Republic of China troops on the opposite side and blown into ruins with artillery, hundreds of Russian soldiers leaned on a small mound to slightly delay the other party's footsteps.
In front of them, there were soldiers crawling towards them on a crawling side. Bullets from machine guns passed over the head like shuttles from time to time. The grass on the ground had fallen in pieces, some had been broken by machine-gun bullets, and some had been trampled.
Without waiting for these hundreds of Red Russian soldiers to hold up at this fortification for a long time, a group of more than 40 people of the Republic of China troops actually took advantage of the containment of the frontal troops to make a detour from the left flank. The Red Russian soldiers, who were already inferior in firepower, suddenly increased their pressure, and at this time they didn't even have room to escape, and some of them gritted their teeth and shouted at Ula with their rifles, and rushed to the other side bravely and fearlessly. Try to eliminate this roundabout enemy army first.
But how can the current disadvantage be reversed by relying on a passion that is not afraid of death? The soldiers of the 15th Regiment at the front of the line unhurriedly set up several light machine guns, and the soldiers in the back had already shot several people with rifles.
When the Red Russian soldiers rushed to the distance of less than 30 meters between the two sides, it only took a few seconds to close the distance, several light machine guns had already opened fire one after another, and the dense bullets quickly broke the illusions of the Red Russian soldiers, only a little bit, as long as they could rush over and fight with the other side, even if these Republic of China troops had a slight advantage in strength, they might not be able to eat them steadily, fighting bayonets, the Russians had innate physical conditions. Even if he is desperately shot by the opponent's infantry, he doesn't hesitate.
However, the sprint distance of a few seconds in front of them was tantamount to a moat for them, and since the roar of the machine guns, the front and back of the team trembled for a while, and then rolled to the ground, and the few who did not die howled in pain.
There were only two 75MM mountain guns captured from the Japanese army, but the preparation of individual weapons was seriously backward, and there were not enough fortifications, the Red Russian team was quickly suppressed in this short collision and fell behind, the inferior firepower was not reparable by manpower, and in the face of the continuous arrival of soldiers of the 6th Division, the end of their team was doomed. (To be continued......)
