The Qing soldiers on the mountain rushed down the hillside. Some Cossack cavalry in the valley hid under the corpses and were not hit by bullets. At this time, they saw the Qing soldiers rushing down from the pile of corpses, ready to fight to the death.

The soldiers of the Qing army were not fond of fighting. They either fired guns or fought with bayonets. The remaining Cossack cavalry were quickly wiped out.

Lin Yuan immediately ordered the third battalion as a reserve team to march towards the Russian barracks in Changtu. The empty barracks were quickly captured. Without the guard of the barracks, the Russian army in Changtu city did not resist, so they went to the rear. After retreating, the Qing army immediately occupied Changtu.

On May [-], the rested Dingwu Army and the first and second brigades of the Ryukyu First Division gathered in Changtu. The first brigade formed by recruiting recruits in Panjin continued to use the title of the first brigade.

At this time, there were more than 1 troops assembled in Changtu. Although the Russian army had more than 3 people, the Russian army was deployed at the stations of the railway line. Each station deployed two or three battalions of troops, only two or three thousand people.

However, the high-level Russian army did not respond at all. The nominal commander-in-chief of the Russian army stationed in Northeast China, Tsar Nicholas II, just sent a brief telegram to the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, the governor of the Amur military region, Grodek. Will, ask how the investigation of the cause of the tiankeng is going. Obviously, His Majesty the Tsar is more interested in wonderful natural phenomena.

Lieutenant General Grodeko just ordered his subordinates to reply with a shorter "under investigation", and then continued to invest in the ball in Blagoveshchensk. This place is now the seat of the highest command organization of the Amur Military Region. Its Chinese The name is Hailanpao, Lieutenant General Grodjeko feels that since a large number of yellow-skinned monkeys have been killed here, the others have become much more honest.

The fall of Changtu and the telegram of the annihilation of the Cossack cavalry battalion were suppressed under a large number of invitation letters. Grodjeko also knew nothing about the opponent Lin Yuan was about to face. Among them, Lin Yuan is just a charlatan who can juggle. Lin Yuan's "summoning the gods" time and time again has created enough jokes and conversation material for his after-dinner chats. It can't be all his fault. In his eyes, there is no difference between high technology and magic.

War never knows mercy, as long as you make a mistake, you have to pay the price in blood.Lin Yuan ordered the first brigade of the new division to attack Sanchakou in the north, and the second brigade of the new division went east to attack the provincial capital Jilin along the railway line. The city of Jilin has the same name as the province she is in. The name comes from the Manchu "Jilin Wula", which means the city on the Songhua River, and it was the provincial capital of Jilin Province in the Qing Dynasty.

From Changtu to Jilin, due to the existence of post roads, several small towns were built along the road for the trade between business travelers. For the supply of trains, barracks and fortifications were built outside the city, nominally to protect the railway from bandits, but in fact to occupy northeast China permanently.At the front is a small town called Cotton Town, which is also the end of the Russian railway. It was originally the place where cotton merchants gathered, hence the name. The way the Russians built fortifications was different from that of the Japanese. They were outside the barracks Instead of building iron wire, a wall more than one meter high was built with stones and mud, and there were shooting holes on the wall for soldiers to shoot.

After the arrival of the Second Brigade of the New First Division, they did not attack directly. Instead, they recruited locals who worked for the barracks, and asked about the work and rest habits of the Russian army and the position of the machine guns. There were some small twists and turns during the inquiry. The villagers didn't know what a machine gun was, and it took them a while to explain it to the villagers.When the weakest point of the Russian army's defense was determined, they concentrated the eight sampan guns they carried there, directly blasted through the wall, rushed into the barracks, and fought hand-to-hand inside. The Russian army was equipped with Mosin Nagant m1891 Rifle, this kind of gun is still a manual rifle, and the trigger needs to be pulled again every time a shot is fired, while the new division is equipped with a semi-automatic rifle, and the rate of fire of the two is not at the same level at all.

The Russian army suffers even more: their rifles are loaded with five rounds of magazines, while the new division uses twenty rounds of magazines. Four times the army!On the battlefield, the most feared thing for soldiers is that the gun in their hands has no bullets.

After fighting for a while, the two sides will hide behind concealed objects and shoot at each other. At this time, the grenade equipped by the new division will show its power. The distance between concealed objects usually does not exceed 30 meters. The bombing distance of the soldiers of the new division passed the standard, so the bunker became a morgue for Russian soldiers. The battle ended in less than 30 minutes. A thousand defenders surrendered except for 10 people who were killed. .

The Second Brigade of the New First Division has experience in fighting the Japanese army, and they were deeply impressed by the integrity of the Japanese army who would rather die than surrender. They instinctively thought that the same was true for the Russian army, and the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, and the Russian army did not seem to have surrendered. It's impossible, so when the Russian army was about to surrender, they thought the Russian army had some conspiracy!They didn't believe it until the Russian soldiers held their guns and put them in a line in the open space.

It turns out that there is one big difference between the Russian army and the Japanese army, that is: in Japan, serving as a soldier is an honor; in Russia, serving as a soldier is shameful!In Russia, soldiers are not allowed to enter parks and theaters, but they can freely enter and leave those places before they become soldiers. In contrast, the senior officials of the Russian army are all nobles, and wherever they go, they are full of beauties, well-clothed and well-fed , Borrowing an ancient Chinese poem, "The first half of the soldiers and soldiers died, and the beauties still danced and danced under the tent", so the combat effectiveness of the Russian army can be imagined.Just after the Second Brigade of the New First Division took down Mianhua Town, the next stop was Fenghua County, [-] kilometers away. It was originally planned to make a long-distance raid, but at this moment, a military column happened to come from Fenghua , The brigade commander had an idea and ordered everyone to get on the train and take the train to Fenghua.

This military train is used to pull supplies. The drivers and firemen on the train are all Chinese. When they see troops beating Lao Maozi, they will pull them up and leave without saying a word. In fact, this method is very dangerous, because the train is It cannot be sent randomly, and there needs to be a unified dispatch, otherwise the two trains may collide.

But the Second Brigade of the New First Division was very lucky. They arrived in Fenghua smoothly, and the defenders were disarmed in a daze.

In one day, they advanced nearly [-] kilometers!

In Changtu at the rear, Liu Biao said: "Shuai Lin, should we let them retreat back? It is a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone!"

It is very dangerous to go deep alone. There are no friendly troops to protect your flanks, and the enemy can easily surround you. Historically, there have been many troops that went deep alone, and all of them ended in disastrous defeat.

But Lin Yuan didn't take it seriously, and instead ordered the Second Brigade of the New First Division to continue to advance. The Russian army along the line was caught off guard. Under their blows, they were defeated. Great Montenegro.

The commander of the First Russian Army stationed in Jilin, Major General Alekov, was in a trance when he found an enemy army popping up right under his nose!
