Lin Yuan then issued a statement through the Kwantung newspaper, which said: "The Wandashan Mountain Range and its Tiger Mountain have been Chinese territory since ancient times, and the forcible occupation and construction of fortresses by the Russians is a blatant aggression, and the Chinese government and people have the right to expel the invaders and recover the land where the Chinese have lived for generations." ”

As soon as this statement came out, the Russians began to mumble, the first few sentences are nothing, the key is the last sentence, "take back the land where the Chinese have lived for generations", does the land here include the land east of the Ussuri River? It was all seized by the Russians through unequal treaties, is Lin Yuan's military action to take it back?

A series of question marks made the Russian ambassador Boris Kozak rush to the Yamen of the Governor of Mukden, wanting to meet Lin Yuan, of course, he didn't go alone, and a large number of Western reporters followed him, after the war to recover the Northeast, Westerners knew that this Lin Yuan was a difficult character to deal with, and at the same time felt that he was very mysterious, and they also wanted to find out.

Westerners are more concerned about whether the unequal treaties they signed with the Qing government will be banned by Lin Yuan, as well as colonies, extraterritoriality, most-favored-nation treatment, etc., so they also came to the governor's yamen to see Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was still commanding the battle in the city of the third surname, and when he heard the news, he thought, "I won't be busy seeing you first, since you are here, I will give you a big gift." Lin Yuan then ordered Chen Fei to continue his attack on the Tiger Mountain Fortress.

By this time it was already 6 October, the 1st and 6th Divisions had rested for two days, their mental and physical recovery was excellent, and the soldiers knew that they were fighting a war against the invasion, and their morale was even stronger.

The fortress of Hubei Mountain was overcome, and the fortress of Tiger Mountain was like an arm being cut off, and Chen Fei was able to order the troops to surround the Tiger Mountain from three directions and launch a fierce attack.

Liu 19 and Jin Cheng continued their previous style of play, the 6th Division attacked the fortified position on the mountain, and the 1st Division sent reinforcements down the mountain, and the attack began at 10 o'clock in the evening of October 6.

Tiger Mountain is the core of the entire fortress group, and there are 24 peaks in a depth of 6,000 meters, with a total of more than 200 fortresses.

The soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Brigade quietly approached the fort from the mountain road, only to find that the fort was pitch black inside, there was no light, and even the searchlights outside the fort were turned off.

Battalion commander Zhang Yao thought to himself: "This time, the ** son has learned to be obedient, and the lights have been turned off." "It turned out that in the previous attack, because the outside of the fortress was too dark, the Russian army wanted to find the Chinese troops, so they had to turn on the searchlights on the fortress, and the Chinese troops organized sharpshooters to specialize in searchlights, and as soon as the searchlights went out, the Russian troops became blind, and they could only find out when the Chinese troops rushed closer.

As soon as Zhang Yao waved his hand, the sharpshooter fired, these sharpshooters' marksmanship naturally could not be as accurate as Chen Fei's, they were just soldiers with good marksmanship, the sharpshooter fired five shots before hitting the searchlight, and then the soldiers covered the flamethrowers and rushed up.

Zhang Yao saw that they rushed to a distance of fifty meters from the fortress, and the Russians did not shoot, I don't know what kind of medicine the Russians sold in the gourd, according to the method of fighting, at this time the soldiers should hide on the spot, shoot at the fortress, suppress its firepower, and the flamethrowers approached the fortress under the cover of fire and knocked it out in one fell swoop.

The fighters fired, and the bullets whizzed on the fortress, but the Russians still did not see the Russians shooting in the fortress, what was going on?

Just when the soldiers were wondering, something even stranger happened, the flamethrower who was crawling forward actually stood up and walked straight towards the fortress, could it be that the Russians cast a magic spell inside and absorbed the mind of the flamethrower?

Before the soldiers could react, the Pyro had already walked to the fortress, he turned back and waved at the crowd, saying, "The fortress is empty, there is no one inside." "The warriors seem to be the monks of Zhanger - I don't know where did the ** go? They did not dare to slack off, bent on their waists and carrying guns, and ran to the edge of the fortress at a rapid pace, and a warrior carefully opened the door of the fortress, only to find that it was empty, and the Russians had apparently gone.

There was no one in the fortress at the bottom of the mountain, and when the mountain division attacked the mountain, they found that there were no Russians in the fortress on the mountain, and the tunnel was empty, not only that, but even the ammunition and food inside were gone.

The news was reported to Chen Fei, and he frowned and said, "The battle behind is even more difficult. ”

Kaneshiro asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Chen Fei said: "When we fought the Hubeishan Fortress, we seized the weakness of the Russians' battle line that was too long and could not be echoed from the beginning to the end, and broke through each one, so that the battle was resolved in less than thirty-six hours, and the Russians had realized this, so they contracted the defensive line, withdrew the people in the peripheral fortress, and concentrated on defending the most core positions. ”

Kaneshiro said: "So that's the case, there's nothing to worry about, the Russians are gathered in a heap, isn't it better to fight?" ”

Chen Fei said: "I'm thinking, the Russians will definitely not pile up for us to fight, they must have other intentions?" ”

Kaneshiro asked, "What can they do?" ”

Chen Fei said: "I can't think clearly, let me ask the captain." ”

So Chen Fei contacted Lin Yuan and told him about the situation, Lin Yuan thought about it and said: "I think the Russians have two purposes for dividing their forces, first: to fortify or even ambush on your way to the core, and you must be prepared to deal with ambush operations; Second: they are very likely to make a detour and attack Xiaoshang Bridge in an attempt to flank you from behind, which is a good thing in my opinion! ”

Chen Fei said: "What's so good about this? ”

Lin Yuan said: "The Russians dare to play ambush with us, they are really impatient, we have the most powerful reconnaissance means, can their ambush area escape from our palms?" We can use a little subterpour to hit them with a counter-ambush"

Chen Fei said: "I understand, I'll go and prepare." ”

In order to enhance the reconnaissance capability of the mountain division, Chen Fei specially seconded the drones used by the marines and put a special person on duty on the Beijing ship, which finally came in handy today.

This type of UAV is specially equipped for special forces, only more than one meter long, wingspan is not more than two meters, the fuselage uses a large number of composite materials, so it is very lightweight, can take off on a variety of terrain, can carry a variety of reconnaissance equipment for detection, this time Chen Fei chose a thermal imaging detector.

Lightness often means low payload, so the flight range of this type of drone is limited, and the thermal imaging detector on it can only detect a distance of one kilometer, so it is necessary to roughly determine the possible ambush location of the Russians.

After analyzing the terrain, Chen Fei roughly determined the ambush location of the Russians, and then sent a drone to reconnoitre, and soon the drone sent back images, the imaging quality of these images is very high, comparable to black and white photos, the images show that on the mountain road about two kilometers away from the 209 heights, there are Russian troops in ambush.

Chen Fei immediately decided to fight a counter-ambush operation, and he ordered the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division to continue to move forward, while the 2nd Brigade that arrived later quietly made a detour to the rear of the Russian ambush.
