The Russian army's fortress only had shooting holes and observation windows to observe the outside situation, so that people's vision was limited, so the Russian army built bunkers outside the fortress to protect the fortress.

The squadron is equipped with light machine guns. When going up the mountain, the most important purpose of the machine gunners is to find a machine gun position. After finding it, four or five machine guns suppress the same bunker. The Russian soldiers were crushed by bullets. Behind the sandbags, I couldn't even lift my head.

When the sound of machine guns stopped, the squadron rushed to the front, and at this time, their Mosin Nagant rifles fired too slowly, so the Russian soldiers in the bunker were quickly slaughtered.

The mountain division occupied the bunker, and the bazooka soldiers pulled the fortress closer to their shooting range, but they did not dare to shoot, because the rocket will spew out high-temperature tail flames at the moment of launch, so when it is launched, it is 30 meters behind. People can't stand, but the mountain road is very narrow, there is no room for launch at all.

This is something Fade Chen didn't expect before the battle started. Although the bazooka can't be used, the machine gun can be used. The bunker is only 40 meters away from the fort, and the machine guns are aimed at the shooting holes. However, it is still able to suppress the Russian army.

Under the cover of machine guns, the fire-breathing soldiers approached the fortress, and then the flames flew up. The vodka used by the Russian army in the fortress became their life-threatening charm. The bottle exploded under the high temperature, and the fragments injured many people.

When the lower fortress was breached, the flames ignited into the sky, making the people in the upper fortress feel unprecedented fear. They heard from the defeated army at Huyakou that the Chinese used a brand new weapon, which could breathe fire. , capable of burning the fort from the outside.

But few people believe this. The Iron Blood Corps is worthy of being an elite army, and the officers in it are also highly educated. From a technical point of view, they point out that this kind of weapon cannot exist. First of all, this kind of weapon needs fuel, and it cannot be solid. Fuel must be liquid fuel, gasoline is the best choice, but where can the Chinese get so much gasoline!The second is how to make gasoline spray out from the fuel tank!How did they know about Lin Yuan's oil industry?

The mountain division went deep step by step, and soon pulled out the three lowest fortresses, and marched upwards. The first division, which occupied the two highlands on the west side, heard the sound of machine guns on the mountain and saw the flames rising. Looking forward to having reinforcements come over to let them fight, at this moment, a group of Russian troops came from the mountain road.

The First Division finally waited for the opportunity, and they started shooting at the Russian army. The Russian army did not expect that there would be a Chinese ambush here, and was caught off guard, causing heavy casualties for a while.

The two fronts were fighting in full swing. Two hours later, the Russian army's fortress on the ground had been emptied, and the mountain division began to turn into the underground tunnel, competing with the Russian army room by room. The Russian army's fighting will Very strong, even if the stomach is broken by bullets, they will not put down the gun, but the weapons and equipment of the Russian army are far from those of the Chinese army, and the combat quality is also very different from that of the mountain division, so soon, the underground tunnel was also captured.

As soon as Height 183 came down, he was supposed to go west to capture other peaks, but Chen Fei found that there were a lot of Russian reinforcements before Heights 102 and 119, so he ordered the Mountain Division to rest in place, and the second brigade went to the back of the two Heights. Outflank, surrounded the reinforcements in one fell swoop.

On the narrow mountain road, the Russian army was in a dilemma and was quickly wiped out. The mountain division continued to attack the fortress westward. At this time, they found that the resistance they received had weakened a lot. There were only one or two soldiers in the bunkers outside many fortresses. Guard, so the speed of attack has also accelerated a lot.

It turned out that the Russian fortress headquarters miscalculated the situation from the very beginning. They thought that only a small group of Chinese troops were attacking the 183 Heights. Outflanking them in one fell swoop, who knew that the reinforcements were wiped out by superior forces, which resulted in no one to defend the mountain behind.

The fighting lasted until the evening of the second day, when all the Hubeishan fortresses were conquered, 380 and nine Russian battalion commanders were killed, more than [-] catties of grain, more than [-] boxes of ammunition, and ten [-]mm caliber artillery were seized.

Seeing those captured artillery pieces, a mystery in Fade Chen's heart was finally solved, that is why the Russian army's most powerful artillery pieces did not fire a single shot during the entire battle. It turned out that the Russian army's artillery pieces were not designed And manufacture the hoe structure, the artillery is installed on the guide rail, and the artillery seat slides backward when firing to offset the recoil force, but it is already October in the northeast, and the mountain altitude is high, so the temperature is lower, the Russian army uses it The lubricating oil of the Russian army failed at low temperatures, so that the artillery of the Russian army did not dare to fire a single bullet.

After Lin Yuan learned that the First Division and the Mountain Division had captured the Hubei Mountain Fortress, he ordered them to rest in place. Fade Chen asked people to distribute the seized beef, pork, and eggs to each division, and hired the most famous chef from the local area to cook them carefully. All kinds of aromas wafted through the camp, as if it was Chinese New Year.Liu Jiujiu found Fade Chen and said, "Master, I have a request, can you agree?"

Fade Chen smiled and said, "What request?"

Liu Jiujiu said shyly, "Can you share some of the Russian wine with everyone?"

The first thing Lin Yuan did when setting up his troops was to compile the disciplinary regulations, which were basically written in accordance with the disciplinary regulations of our army. One of them was that drinking alcohol was not allowed on non-holidays. The first thing for all recruits to enter the army is to learn the discipline rules, that's why Liu Jiujiu asked such a difficult question.

Fade Chen said with a smile: "You can drink, but you can't drink too much, one bottle at a time." Liu Jiujiu thought that Fade Chen would refuse, but he didn't expect Fade Chen to agree so happily, and went to hand out the wine happily.

When the First Division and the Sixth Division were resting, Lin Yuan began to battle wits and courage in diplomacy. Due to the backwardness of the Russian communication methods, after Xiaoshangqiao was defeated, the Russian army in Blagoveshchensk was defeated. The army commander Grodjeko didn't know anything. It wasn't until the Battle of Hubeishan that Grodjeko knew that the Hubeishan defenders had been wiped out.

The Russian Tsar then sent a note to the Qing government through Boris Kozak, the ambassador to China, expressing his strongest dissatisfaction with the outrageous provocative behavior of the governor of the Northeast, Lin Yuan, and strongly demanded that the Qing government dismiss Lin Yuan and investigate. If not, Russia will take all measures. Possible means to counterattack, the strong wording in the note is unprecedented.

The note was submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing government—the Prime Minister’s Office of International Affairs. The Prime Minister’s Office was confused, because Lin Yuan’s military actions were not reported to the Qing court, and Lin Yuan ordered Shen Wanqing not to report this military action. , so the Zongli Yamen does not know as much as the Russians.

The Prime Minister’s Office had no choice but to prevaricate the Russians, saying that we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and hope that His Majesty the Russian Tsar will not be misled by false news. How can the Russians believe that the Prime Minister’s Office does not know the truth? They believe that the Prime Minister’s Office is Colluding with Lin Yuan, deliberately delaying time.Lin Yuan smiled knowingly after seeing the note, and thought: "Finally it's your turn to express your strongest dissatisfaction! What makes you more dissatisfied is yet to come."
