Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 364 The Battle of Yaksa ([-])
The two battalions sent by Zhao Xin did not retreat after repelling the Russian reinforcements from the direction of Emur Karen. After leaving one battalion to station on the south bank, the other battalion crossed the river by boat and stayed at The river beach area six kilometers southeast of Yaxa.

The Russian army's reconnaissance team soon discovered the movement of the North Navy, and they sent hunting soldiers and cavalry to try to drive them away that night.Relying on the heavy machine guns on the patrol boats and the simple circular defensive positions, the Beihai Navy effectively resisted the harassment of the Russian army all night and firmly guarded the north bank of Heilongjiang.

At 8:23 am on August 6, most of the Northern Navy staying in Duojin City boarded the ship and headed west, and arrived at the landing site opened the day before on the north bank of Heilongjiang at 8:[-] am.Afterwards, the brigade headed north and camped on a plain one kilometer from the river bank.

At the same time, a reconnaissance team belonging to the artillery of the North Navy merged with the battalion stationed on the south bank, and then, led by the guide Zamusu, entered the Greater Khingan Mountains along the winding Nangai River Valley.Their mission is very important. The reconnaissance team will find and set up artillery observation points near the southeast hillside of Emul Karen. Once the observation points are set up, both Gucheng Island and Yaksa will cover the artillery strikes of the Northern Navy. under.

From August 8rd to August 23th, in addition to blocking the Russian army sent by Yaksa, the North Navy was busy building positions, clearing bushes and weeds, opening roads to the river, and digging toilets at the downwind vent.
In a battle, especially a field battle, logistical supplies are far more important than advanced weapons and soldiers' bravery.It was precisely because of this when Liu Sheng fought Ninggu Pagoda that he chose to fight and charge quickly to resolve the battle quickly.

Take the simplest chestnut, drinking water.

An adult man weighing 70 kilograms should drink 3000 milliliters of water per day. If it is heavy physical labor or physical exertion, it must be increased by 1000 milliliters, which is four thousand.

In this era, regardless of Asia or Europe, when fighting, it is necessary to set up camp before sending people to fetch water. In addition, civilians must be arranged to chop firewood to boil water and help with cooking. If 1000 soldiers want to carry out long-distance combat, they must be equipped with a militia team of 2000 to [-] people.Otherwise, the soldiers would have to spend half of their time just chopping firewood, boiling water and cooking, instead of doing other things every day.If the water source is polluted, it will be even more verbose.

One kilometer to the south of the North Navy camp is Heilongjiang, and there are some puddles and small lakes to the north.Fortunately, there are many water sources in this area, even if the Russian army wants to pollute with dead horses and cows, it is powerless.Besides, how delicious it is to keep the meat!
It is said that using water purification tablets in the wild is a temporary short-term behavior.One is that it has peculiar smell and color, the other is that it is easy to cause iodine allergy, and the third is that the cryptosporidium in the water cannot be removed, and it must be boiled before drinking.

But now with Zhao Xin's "mobile warehouse", everything is much easier.This is him, they can't play with Liu Sheng at all, just a road problem can stump them.

Ten water purification vehicles with a water storage capacity of 1 liters can meet the daily drinking water needs of 8 people through one-stage reverse osmosis.At the same time, each vehicle also has two sets of independent power supply systems with [-]KW diesel generators to provide sufficient power for water purification equipment and heating equipment.

In addition, there are more than a dozen field cooking vehicles, including a cooking vehicle that can satisfy 300 people for a meal and a special staple food vehicle that can provide staple food for 600 people at a time.

"Old Hu, what are you having for lunch today?"

"Noodles, canned pork stew, a mouth full of oil."

Li Yansheng salivated after hearing what the cook said.It took a while for this and the other border residents who followed after seeing the various logistics vehicles of the Northern Navy at the Humar River to gradually adapt and accept them.

The funniest thing my brother did before this time was to ask a group of Daurians to cut a lot of grass, saying that it was for these white and dark green animals to eat, which made jokes for the cooks of the guard company and the logistics team for several days.

From August 8th, as the North Navy's position and facilities became more and more perfect, the small-scale harassment of the Russian army could no longer be cheap, so Suvorov stopped this behavior.

In fact, the Russian army's defensive facilities on the front line of Yaksa City are very complete, and there are complete fortifications on the three trenches, but the terrain of the North Navy is not good.However, what Zhao Xin and the others need to do now is to continuously harass and attack the enemy troops in Emulkalun through a battalion arranged on the opposite bank of the river, to attract the attention of the enemy troops, and to provide sufficient time for the artillery reconnaissance team to find a suitable observation point.

As usual, when the Beihai Navy's antenna was erected, several drones began to swim wantonly over Yaksa, Gucheng Island and the mouth of the Emur River. The daily buzzing made the Russian army upset.On the second day, even Suvorov himself was alarmed, and led a group of officers from the general staff to the outside of the second trench.

"Admiral is here! Everyone, stand at attention!" Following the commander's order, all the soldiers on the defense line stared intently at Suvorov and his party on horseback.At this time, everyone noticed that the general was only wearing a soldier's woolen jacket today, and was riding on a horse.On his chest he wears the George Cross with an orange and black ribbon.

Suvorov took the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by his men, only to see a small dot approaching in the sky a mile away.When the dot became bigger and bigger in the field of view of the telescope, Your Excellency the Admiral noticed the strange shape and color, as well as the black square box hanging below.

"Hey, gentlemen, can anyone tell me what this is?"

No one answered, because this has exceeded the cognition of everyone present.

A corporal suddenly shouted: "General, this is a devil, a monster!"

The head of the group became a little annoyed, and cursed: "Shut up! You idiot, I want you to hang you up and whip you!"

At this time, a second lieutenant said very calmly: "No, I think this should be an observation machine invented by the Qing people."

"Oh?" Suvorov took a step forward and asked again: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, is this true?"

The second lieutenant thought for a while and replied: "First, I am only a second lieutenant. This is just my speculation. Second, general, I personally never believe that there are any ghosts and ghosts in this world. Even if there are, under your leadership we will It can also be wiped out.”

"Mr. Captain," the immediate admiral bowed slightly and said, "You are welcome to come to my place for dinner today, and I will treat you to lunch tomorrow."

When everyone present heard it, they all showed envious and jealous eyes to the second lieutenant.It was a waste of such a good thing to go up two levels in a few minutes.

Suvorov then asked the question: "Who will bring it down?"

At this moment, the head of the regiment stood at attention and said: "General, we shot with a musket yesterday, and that thing flew too high."

The captain who had just been promoted replied: "Maybe we can use cannons to raise the muzzle. I have carefully observed that the height of that thing should not exceed 200 meters."

"Very good! Let's do it." Suvorov nodded in satisfaction, and continued to say to the people around him: "What is observation? This is observation! Quick visual inspection to roughly determine the number and size of objects, when We have seen everything about the enemy, so congratulate yourself, we have won!"

Before dark, the four 8-pound guns, led by the exceptionally promoted captain, were gathered behind a parapet by horse-drawn horses, and the muzzle was raised to 60 degrees, ready to be carried out during the daytime the next day. Sneak attack.

The problem is that the Russian army thought they were doing it without anyone noticing, but when the drone was conducting night reconnaissance, it was easy to find this artillery position.The staff officers of the Northern Navy, who were already familiar with the types of artillery of the Russian army, recognized the four 8-pound guns with their muzzles raised high from the screen at a glance.

In the evening, Fan Tong, who came out to wake up at night, came back and saw Zhao Xin standing in front of the tent and staring into the distance.He hesitated for a moment, then walked over.

"Can't sleep?" Fan Tong asked.

"Yeah, I'm thinking about how to keep this land in the future."

"So confident that you can win the battle?"

"I've been here for so long, have you seen me do something I'm not sure about?" Zhao Xin answered absently. "The key to this battle is to compare the speed with the Russians," he said again: "In this way, we can take Irkutsk quickly."

"So, if the empress sends someone to negotiate, what conditions will you offer?"

"The Yenisei River must be divided by the Yenisei River." Zhao Xin explained: "In fact, whether it is the current water transportation or the future Siberian Railway, Irkutsk is a point that cannot be bypassed. "

Fan Tong was surprised and said: "From what you mean, are you going to build the railway?"

Zhao Xin nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, yes. It is absolutely impossible not to build the railway. Whether it is population or supplies, if only relying on the river, it can only be used for five months a year."

Fan Tong said with a smile: "I remember the old textbook saying that wherever the railways controlled by the imperialists are built, their claws of aggression will be extended."

Zhao Xin said with a smile: "Your words are flawed. Are we imperialists? If they don't invade, I will at most maintain the original territory."

Fan Tong suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Huh? Li Bai's hometown, Suiye City, who owns it now?"

Zhao Xindao: "Manchu Qing. From this point of view, the three generations of Kang, Yong, and Gan have done well, but it is a pity that the descendants of the descendants are not up to date."

"I didn't know before. It's been almost a year since I came here, and many things have overturned my previous cognition." Fan Tong sighed, and he decided to ask one last question before going to bed. "Can you kill fewer prisoners this time? After all, we are all educated modern people. It is always bad to kill too many people."

"Xiao Fan, you have to understand that this is an age of iron and fire, and sympathizing with the invaders will only make them think we are weak and can be bullied. I think it is really disgusting to be lenient to the invaders. One must be killed as an example to others, and the rest must dig coal and build roads to make atonement."

Zhao Xin continued: "Don't talk about humanitarianism. War is not a treat for dinner, not a child's play after dinner, but the ugliest thing. If you dare to start a war, you have to bear the consequences of failure. Isn't tens of thousands of people together? Thousands of people are killed or maimed in order to kill each other, and then the more they kill, the greater the credit"

"Hold on, I'm just asking. If you say that, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight." In the light and shadow of the campfire, Fan Tong couldn't tell whether the expression on Zhao Xin's face was ferocious or calm.

"Well, after fighting so many battles, apart from being a little excited at the beginning, it became my responsibility afterwards." Zhao Xin patted Fan Tong on the shoulder and said, "It's time to rest, and I should also go to sleep."

Fan Tong returned to the tent, lying on the bed and tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.When he closed his eyes and started snoring, there seemed to be a blonde girl waving to him in his dream.
On August 8, the Beihai Navy's artillery position consisting of five D26 long-range artillery was finally laid out, and the defensive positions built around the artillery positions were basically completed.

Zhao Xin immediately ordered the troops on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River to cross Paiwo Island and advance towards Emulkalun to attract the attention of the Russian army.

Suvorov ordered two cavalry regiments to move north of Yaksa City, with the purpose of detouring through the woods to the North Navy's position.Although he has a lot of troops now, there are also many points that need to be defended, so he didn't take the lead in launching an attack, and will issue orders at any time depending on the enemy's actions.

For the 8000 men in the Russian army, the magic name of Suvorov alone energized everyone.

"As long as the general is here, one person is worth 10 people!"

Before the battle began, Admiral Suvorov tried the last resort. On August 8, he sent an envoy to deliver a letter of persuasion to the forward positions of the Northern Navy.At this time, the rules of engagement in Europe are that the envoys can see the commander in chief of the other side, but the North Navy obviously does not want to respect this, they just let the Russian army envoys stay at a position 26 ahead of the position.

After Zhao Xin received the letter, he found it really funny. The invaders actually persuaded the defenders of their homeland to give up resistance and surrender. What kind of logic is this?

Then he wrote back a letter to Suvorov, which contained only one sentence: "Get out of Yaksa!"

Of course, Zhao Xin wanted to write more, to hurt the other party through words, but his Russian level was limited, and he racked his brains for a long time to make up, but the result was a lot of waste paper.

The envoy sent by Suvorov read the reply letter without a wax seal, and said to the officers of the Northern Navy: "The Amur River can stop flowing, the sky can collapse, and the Yaksa Fortress will never surrender."

When the envoy returned to report, Suvorov made the last pre-war mobilization: "100 years ago, we came to Yaksa twice and withdrew twice in humiliation, and even signed an unequal treaty. Now It's the third time, and we have no choice! Either hold here or die here. It is true that the enemy's weapons are very advanced, and our difficulties are great. But as Russian soldiers, we should not surrender before any force! Fortress Yaksa is very Strong, our troops are twice as strong as the opponent's, and our army is equally strong. I have been in the army for decades, and I have never retreated in front of any force. If we can repel the enemy in front of us, the entire Heilongjiang River Basin will return to The embrace of the empire! The glory of God will shine on this wild land forever!"

At the same time, Zhao Xin also made his first pre-war mobilization to the Jiuqianbei Navy through the loudspeakers and radio stations installed in various positions:
"Before this battle, someone asked me, why do I have to leave the great mountains and rivers in the pass and not fight, but have to travel thousands of miles north to help the Manchus guard the country? Why don't I go to occupy the world of flowers and flowers in the south, but want the poor and rough roads here? Struggle for several years? Brothers! Not to mention, the Han people came to this land 375 years ago, and the inscription on the stone is evidenced by the Yongning Stele on the Tlin Stone Rock.

Covered by the sky, contained by the earth, illuminated by the sun and the moon, covered by frost and dew, white mountains and black waters, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.If we don't defend this land, in 100 years, we will lose it forever!If we don't come to fight today, whether it is Han, Man, Hezhe, Fei Yaka, or even Sauron's tribes, they will all be reduced to slaves under the guns of foreign races, and they will face massacres by foreign invaders!

To hell with those shit western civilizations!If we are rich, they will sell poison to the people; if we are poor, they will ask us to cede land and pay compensation, which is called the 'concession'.Their desire for land is insatiable, and the white mountains and black waters of tens of thousands of miles cannot satisfy their greed.They destroy, massacre, and steal, but they call it "bringing civilization". return!
Opposite us is a group of foreign bandits who will never be satisfied with the land. This battle is not the end. After this battle, we will go all the way west and bring the war to the homeland of the invaders.

To hell with pity that shit!Brothers, kill them, destroy every invader with weapons, turn their bodies into the fertilizer of this land, let us use our victories to declare to the world, no one can take away our territory! "
