The cement was mixed with very resilient branches and artemisia grass, which made the ground hard all at once, and the mud was no longer a problem, and the soldiers of the 1st Division stepped on the newly opened road and moved forward quickly.

Originally, this kind of task had been entrusted to a specialized engineering unit, but at present, the Feng army did not have such a strong foundation, and there was a serious shortage of professional engineers in the army, so ordinary railway workers could only be used.

Of the more than 3,000 people, about 1,000 participated in the construction of the Jibong Railway, and the other 2,000 were World War I laborers who returned from Europe. When these workers were in Europe, they also participated in the emergency repair of railways, and accumulated a lot of experience, and this time they happened to be sent to the front. The guards are in charge of them, and it has been almost a year since they returned to China, but the situation in Europe is still vivid.

The 100,000 Chinese laborers were almost treated as cannon fodder by Britain and France, and they had to go to the front line to help the Allies transport the wounded, repair roads, and fortifications. Hundreds of workers fell under the attack of German planes, and the British and French troops, who boasted of civilization, did not say anything, they only buried the matter in a hurry.

After more than four years of devastation, Chinese laborers won the status of the victorious power with their own lives, but the subsequent Paris Peace Conference ruthlessly proved that the so-called victorious power was just a joke, and China was still at the mercy of others.

Before going to Europe, Wei Jun was just an ignorant young man, but after this period of time, he really saw the faces of the great powers, and also understood the truth that if he was backward, he would be beaten, not only him, but all the workers of the First World War. After they returned to China, most of them stayed in the three eastern provinces and devoted themselves to the construction of the three eastern provinces.

Shame and courage. These laborers are more hard-working than other workers, and they are stimulated by the powerful industrial capacity of the great powers, the developed transportation, and the prosperous cities. The Feng army has begun to catch up, and although their liliang is meager, they are also willing to do their best and dedicate their sweat.

After the guards led all the workers into the land of the Russians, they inspected the condition of the railroad as fast as possible and drew up a plan for repairing it.

"How's it going, and how long will it take to fix it?" Sun Anhu asked Wei Jun with a solemn face. If you want to develop in depth with Russia, you can't do without the support of the railway, and without strong logistics, there will be no real victory.

"Sir Sun, the situation is not good. The Russians demolished all the railroad tracks, and the roadbed was damaged to varying degrees. And Russian railways use broad gauge. It is not the same as the standard rail used in China. It also needs to be revised, which takes more time. ”

When Sun Anhu heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's too slow, the soldiers are fast, and the railway alone will delay for several months." How are we going to fight it! ”

The guards were also at a loss, and at this time, a soldier suddenly ran over and reported to Sun Anhu: "Sir." We found a large number of railroad tracks in a valley five kilometers away, all of which seemed to have been freshly removed from the railway! ”

As soon as he heard the news, Wei Jun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, take us over to have a look!" ”

The guards took a few young engineers and ran over as fast as they could, and sure enough, there were a lot of rails piled up in the valley, and after seeing this, the guards were also overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the rails to be dragged out and transported to the vicinity of the railway line for later use.

"Sir Sun, the Russians went in a hurry, they were just demolished by the railroad tracks, and then thrown aside, and they were not completely destroyed. So I had an idea to restore the broad-gauge railways according to Russian standards. Although there are no locomotives and carriages, it is possible to temporarily haul supplies with livestock, and the efficiency will be multiplied. We will then carry out the refurbishment work. ”

When Sun Anhu heard this method, he couldn't help but nodded, this is the most suitable method in front of him. It's just that in the next battle, it is necessary to act quickly and not give the Russians a chance to destroy the road.

All the railroad workers were busy, a track was 25 meters long, more than 10 tons in weight, there was no large equipment at the front line in poor conditions, the workers could only rely on their hands to carry the rails, every group of 50 people, everyone worked together to place the rails on the roadbed.

After a few trips, the limbs were sore, swollen and painful, sweating like rain, and the legs were like lead, but everyone gritted their teeth and did their best to ensure the rapid recovery of the railway.

Not only these workers, but also the soldiers joined in, and Sun Anhu personally allocated them a thousand pack horses, and finally lifted them up. The guards also learned that the Russians had not completely destroyed the tracks, that some sections of the rails were still preserved, and that the roadbed was not badly damaged due to the limited use of explosives, which also gave him a sigh of relief.

Just as the road was being repaired, the 1st Division, after a difficult two-and-a-half-day trek, had reached the periphery of Borgia. It was the first major city to enter Russia from Manchuria, where the Russians invested heavily in troops and built a large number of fortifications.

Blyukherr personally sent his most powerful assistant, the commander of the 4th Far Eastern Division, Sugorov, who was also a newly rising general in the Russian Civil War, with extremely strong combat command ability, and like Blyukhel, he was a very realistic soldier.

After personally inspecting the situation on the Sino-Russian border, he found that it would be extremely unfavorable to Russia if he stumbled on the border, so he left only a small number of troops on the border, and then focused his defense on Borja, and the idea of clearing the wilderness along the way was the one he proposed.

Sukorov built dense fortifications around Borja, and more than 20,000 Russian troops were ready to defend to the death, and the follow-up troops could be increased at any time.

Zhang Henian, the commander of the Second Brigade of the First Division, was holding a telescope in his hand, carefully observing the position of the Russians, and when he saw the fortifications of the other side, Zhang Henian knew that the other side was a fierce enemy, and he hurriedly ordered the troops to build positions and prepare for attacking the fortifications.

Although the 1st Division arrived in Borja half a day early, there was still someone who was faster than them, and that was the Air Force. Long before the start of the war, the Feng army had built large airfields in Manchuria.

Just after dawn, Feng Yong came to the airport in person, and far away, he could hear the deafening hum of the air-cooled engine, and the two-bladed propeller fanned the whirlwind and swept across the tarmac. Every soldier's hair was blown messy, and the ground crew was loading bombs into the belly of the bomber, and the four newly developed 125-kilogram bombs showed great destructive power.

The 36 new-type dead-firing bombers and 12 escort fighters were ready to go, and although most of the party's troops did not have many planes during the battle, the Feng army did not dare to make any omissions, and this was the first time that a large-scale bomber operation was organized, which was both a real combat and an exercise, and there could be no problems in every link.

Jiang Kui checked his flare gun. Wave your hand to the aircrew. His bomber No. 101 roared into the sky first, with the other eagles following closely behind. Soon, all 48 planes had risen into the air and formed a dense group, and the personnel on the ground were all intimidated by the powerful deterrent power of the group.

From Manchuria to Borja, a total of more than 70 kilometers. It only takes half an hour to arrive, but this half hour is a test for every pilot. The cold and biting spring breeze blew relentlessly on everyone. In particular, this kind of semi-open cabin is even more serious, but fortunately, I heard that the Fengjun has begun to develop a closed cabin, and perhaps it will change in the future.

The plane crossed the Ergun River and flew quickly towards Russian territory, and below them, a large number of Fengjun soldiers could be seen squirming forward. The pilots followed the pilot fighter on one side. While joking with each other, or munching on toffee and chocolate to distract and relieve the symptoms of the cold.

Just when everyone was about to freeze, suddenly a large area of buildings appeared in front of them. Borja is right in front of you!

But to the surprise of the pilots, the air did not see any anti-air balloons at all. The fighters flew at a reduced altitude and were not hit by anti-aircraft fire, which made the pilots of the Feng army a little uncomfortable, after all, they were still facing a great power, how could they have no air defense means at all!

However, this is the case, and it can only be said that Russia's national strength has been seriously weakened after the consumption of the civil war, and it has been distanced by Shijie powers, and it is already powerless to do everything.

Borja is only a small city of about 20,000 people, and the target of the bombing is not difficult to find, the first thing the Feng army attacked was the artillery position of the Russians, and the bombers kept reducing the altitude, and only then did the sporadic artillery fire come to mind, but there was no enough dense firepower, and it was not necessary to hurt a single hair of the plane.

Jiang Kui quickly entered the attack altitude, and two 125-kilogram high-explosive aerial bombs were the first to break free, followed by the other two also roaring to the ground. Suddenly lightened by hundreds of kilograms, the bomber rose sharply by a hundred meters, making way for the bombing channel for the comrades behind him.

The huge group of planes that followed caused the Russians to suddenly become a mess, and after two loud bangs, the bombs accurately hit the heavy artillery positions. Although it failed to hit the cannon directly, the flying debris and dirt still buried half of the position. The first hit encouraged the comrades behind them, and other bombers began to drop bombs one by one, and many pilots even dropped bombs at a low altitude of 600 meters.

The power of the 125-kilogram aerial bomb is amazing, far greater than the army's 203mm shells of the same weight, and a total of 18 bombers carried four bombs this time, a total of 72 bombs completely shrouded the Russian artillery positions in the smoke and fire, causing them heavy losses.

A large number of heavy artillery pieces were destroyed, and the artillery crews were blown to pieces, leaving a mess in their wake. The other bombers were early models with a slightly weaker bomb load capacity and could only carry six to eight 50-kilogram bombs. However, these bombs were mainly used for anti-personnel personnel, and they also achieved some success, and the Russians who were blown around by the bombers enjoyed the greetings of small bombs.

There was also a bomb that happened to land on an ammunition depot, causing a strong detonation, tens of thousands of shells exploded together, producing a strong high temperature, and in an instant, all the surrounding Russians were vaporized, as if the atomic bomb had exploded, and nothing was left.

When a bomber in Zuihou finished dropping bombs and began to return, the Russians were already billowing smoke and flames on their positions, and the Russian commander Sugorov personally commanded the Russian troops to fight the fires, and they brought water from buckets and basins to extinguish the fires on the positions.

But at this time, outside the city, Zhang Henian had already commanded the troops to make preparations, and as soon as the plane returned, the Russian positions were bombed into chaos, and the artillery attack was finally launched, and the roar of heavy artillery shook the field, and a new round of more terrible blows fell on the heads of the Russians, countless shells fell on their heads, and the violent metal storm took away one life after another, and the Russian soldiers who had been tested on the battlefield for a long time were blown to pieces, and the battlefield was filled with a terrible smell of blood.

Sukorov is also a fierce general, in the face of the White Guards, he has never been so cowardly, how can he be pressed and beaten by the Chinese, he roared loudly: "Open the cannon, blow all the Chinese to pieces!" ”

"Comrade division commander, our heavy artillery has lost half of its heavy artillery and one-third of its artillery in the bombardment just now, and there is really no way to fight against the Chinese army."

Sugorov barely suppressed his anger and said angrily: "The Chinese will not be arrogant for too long, I will tear you apart!" (To be continued......)
