Chapter 366 Battle of Yaksa (5)

The Russian army was in chaos. The troops outside the city of Yaksa were all retreating into the first trench. The living people could no longer care about their dead companions. They fled in panic as soon as they exchanged fire. It was not that they did not want to be brave, but that they were facing a

The Cossacks and Buryat soldiers were unable to hit the enemy with their muskets or bombard them with artillery. At this time, only fear remained in their hearts.

The order to retreat was issued by the officer closest to the soldiers in the team. Not only did Suvorov not be consulted, but also the commanders of each regiment were not consulted. The soldiers now had no time to fear that they would be punished for disobeying orders or acting without permission.

Nothing is as valuable as your own life.

Some people have to run back to be saved, and some people think they can be saved by running north. The soldiers act according to their temporary mood. In fact, no matter which direction they go in, the situation of the Cossacks cannot be improved. The machine guns of the Northern Navy

It was just a fan. The Cossacks were running around in a hail of bullets, or standing on the mud steps and shooting at the enemies who were advancing alternately.

The officers stationed in the city tried to rectify the troops who had fled back and force them to obey discipline. However, this so-called discipline only pushed them to the front where artillery fire was pouring. Out of fear of death, they lost discipline again.

Because of facing death, emotions started to fly again.

The closer the Northern Navy gets to the city of Yaksa, the fiercer the offensive becomes. It is as unstoppable as the shells that are about to land after being discharged. Behind it are thousands of miles of white mountains and black water full of hatred. In front of it is only more than 200 miles away from the Ergun River that divides the country. The Northern Navy is just over 200 miles away.

Every soldier in the army felt that the dawn of victory in this battle had appeared.

"Admiral, a small enemy force has attacked the ancient city island!"

"Admiral, the bastion on Ancient City Island was bombarded by the enemy's heavy artillery. We really can't figure out why their heavy artillery moved so fast!"

"General, our soldiers in the second-line trenches are being massacred!"

A major general walked up to Suvorov and suggested to him that the Chasseur Army in the city should be put into battle. Major General Alexei, who was standing next to Suvorov, exchanged glances with the others, which meant nothing to the general.

suggested with a wry smile.

Suvorov's entire facial expression at this time seemed calm and nervous. He was silent for a long time before saying: "I can no longer let my soldiers die. Order the troops outside the city to retreat to the first trench."

He dusted off the ribbon on his chest, as if dust had fallen on it. Then he said to his subordinates with a calm face: "Gentlemen, raise the white flag and send someone to contact the Qing people on the opposite side to make this meaningless war

Let the massacre stop as soon as possible."

After hearing this, many Russian officers present were relieved. It was now 8:30 in the morning, and the battle had only started for three and a half hours. The Russian army had been beaten and was unable to fight back. There were only 200 cavalry and four infantry regiments left.

Most of them were lost. They all knew that there was no fighting anymore, only continuous massacre...

At the artillery position of the Northern Navy, Li Yansheng stood fifty meters behind the artillery position with a red soundproof earmuff watching the excitement. Every time the D30 fired, the muscles on his face could not stop shaking.

As a former artillery leader of the Qing Army, the 5,000-pound cast-iron red cannon is already the largest artillery piece he has ever seen. A 15-pound shell (16 pounds) can fire three miles from the city. Li Yansheng thinks it is the most powerful cannon.

But that's it.

But it wasn't until yesterday that he finally saw the cannon of the Northern Navy. When he saw the barrel, which was more than a foot long and only as thick as a calf, and heard that the maximum range of the cannon could hit forty miles away, Li Yansheng's whole body

No more. So when the North Korean navy launched an attack early this morning, he had to come over to watch the cannon fire.

At first, he was very close. He wanted to see clearly how the breech block was closed through close observation, but he couldn't figure it out after looking for a long time. The first test fire made him feel that the sound was acceptable, and he could wait until the five guns were fired.

When the five rounds were fired rapidly, Li Yansheng couldn't bear it. The feeling was really "sour and refreshing"; especially his two calves, every time he fired, it was like being hit hard with a stick.

When the five artillery pieces of the North Navy are fired, all gunners must obey the gun commander's order. Every time they shout "Ready--Fire!", everyone on the gun position will open their mouths and shout "Fire" at the same time, otherwise the gunfire will be louder.

The shock wave will damage hearing. The dust around the gun emplacement was so choking that it was almost impossible to breathe in the mouth and nose. After staying there for a long time, Li Yansheng felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

There are such cannons in the world?! What a slap in the face of the imperial court. Let’s make peace quickly. Sooner or later, the Northern Navy will wipe out the world!

Li Yansheng felt that all the fortresses of the Great Qing Dynasty were scum in the face of such cannons. At this moment, he was extremely grateful for his previous decision to join the Northern Navy. He kept watching like this, until the Rakshasa cavalry launched an attack, and then his attention changed.

They arrived at the direction of the anti-aircraft battery. When he saw the Northern Navy's massacre of the Rakshasa cavalry, Li Yansheng's face turned pale with shock. There were nearly a thousand cavalry, and it was all over in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Xin had already learned that the white flag had been raised on the city wall of Yaksa, but his attack on the ancient city island had not stopped yet.

Liu Sheng and Fan Tong have already led Hu Ji's Sixth Regiment to board the ship on the river. Now the Russian forts on the east side of the ancient city island and the west side of Yaksa City have been suppressed by the artillery fire of the Northern Navy. As long as the camp on the south bank is bombed,

After opening the Russian army's pontoon bridge, General Liu Sheng led the fleet straight to Irkutsk, completely blocking Tsarist Russia's door to the Far East.

At 9 a.m., with several huge explosions, the pontoon bridges erected by the Russian army on Gucheng Island and Heilongjiang were reduced to pieces. At 9:15, Liu Sheng's fleet passed through the row of boats under the guidance of two dark gray patrol boats.

Lying on the island. When the fleet passed the bombed pontoon section of the river, it ran into the Russian fleet that was waiting for the battle.

Under the cover of the dense rain of bullets from the two patrol boats, dozens of RPG-7V2 rockets were ejected from the two catamaran passenger boats that followed the patrol boats, and dense explosions suddenly sounded on the river. Because of this thing

The effective range is only 200 meters. Since Zhao Xin bought it the year before last, he has never used it in actual combat except for training. He finally used it today.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After more than a hundred rockets were fired, the Russian fleet was basically crippled. So thousands of Russian troops were fired at the city of Yaksa

Stunned, the Northern Navy fleet quickly passed through the wooden boats that were burning with black smoke and blazing fire, and soon disappeared on the river.

When Suvorov heard the news, his face changed drastically, and he looked a bit older instantly. He understood what the enemy's fleet was doing. Once the enemy went up the Heilongjiang River to the Yi River on the west bank of Lake Baikal,

Irkutsk and the entire Irkutsk Province will be finished; without Irkutsk, Okhotsk and even upper and lower Kamchatka will run out of food. By then, there will be no need to send troops, and these two coastal strongholds will be very difficult.

It is about to perish. And once the empire's outlet to the east is lost, the fur trade routes in the Aleutian Islands and even Alaska will also be interrupted.

This loss was so great that Suvorov could not bear it. He had no time to think about how the Queen of St. Petersburg would punish him. Instead, he ordered his Major General Alexei to quickly fly a white flag to discuss surrender with the Northern Navy.

matters.

At 12 noon, when Zhao Xin learned that Liu Sheng's fleet had arrived at the Ergun River and was about to enter the territory of Tsarist Russia, he ordered all ministries to stop firing and stand ready. By this time, the Russian troops on the ancient city island had been wiped out.

All the Russian troops outside the city of Yaksa have retreated into the city.

When Major General Alexey finally met Zhao Xin, who spoke fluent Russian, he realized that this was not a Qing army at all, but the legendary armed force that had always been against the Qing Empire.

Zhao Xin's conditions were simple: lay down your weapons and surrender unconditionally.

"I only give you one hour. If the gate of Yaksa City does not open after one hour and you do not come out and disarm, we will continue to bombard the castle."

Major General Alexei said very sincerely: "Your Excellency, I have no objection to your conditions. But is the time a little harsh? We hope to collect the compatriots who died in the battle and bury them."

Zhao Xindao: "Your Excellency, Major General, there is no conflict. You can send someone to collect the body now. Go and tell your general my terms. I will be here waiting for his arrival in forty minutes."

When Suvorov led his officers out of the east gate of Yaksa City and passed through the trenches carefully dug by the Russian army, they saw a large number of corpses of their own soldiers.

Whether they were officers or soldiers, they were lying down, either in the trenches, or in the open space between the trenches, or in the bomb craters, in various positions, most of them very ugly and terrible. The damp ground near the corpses was trampled into

The ground was covered with thick mud, and there were footprints and deep ruts made by artillery carts all over the place.

A group of Russian soldiers walked through the piles of dead bodies, and the entire battlefield was filled with the pungent smell of blood and gunpowder smoke.

"You bastard Rakshasa, do you think what you did is called human affairs? After killing others, you must be punished now."

A soldier of the Northern Navy with a gun looked at Suvorov and others without fear, and cursed in a low voice in Mandarin that the Tsarist Russians could not understand. The Russians knew that the other party had nothing good to say without an interpreter.

Suvorov ordered his men to stop advancing. He walked a few steps alone, took off his military uniform, and looked carefully at the soldiers and officers who died in the battle, trying to remember their appearance. He walked silently to the third trench.

At that time, he looked for a long time at a captain whose face was still clearly identifiable after death.

Suvorov noticed that some of the officers who died in battle were killed by bullets, but most of them were killed by artillery shells. It was obvious that the North Korean Navy's grenades were very lethal, and many soldiers were killed by bombs.

The point is the center, and each piece dies.

The young captain came to eat with me the day before yesterday and yesterday, but now he has no hat on his head. He is lying on his back with his eyes open, his left hand pressed tightly on his chest, and his right arm stretched out to the side, from his waist

The blood seeping from the military uniform has turned black.

There was a corpse lying face down on his right. The sash on the waist had fallen off. The linen military uniform bulged on the back like a hump, revealing a strong leg with bulging veins. The feet were wearing

Short leather boots with a crooked heel. There was no hat on his head, not even the Tianling cap, which had been neatly shaved off by shell fragments; surrounded by a circle of wet and empty skulls, the dark red muddy water shone in the head.

.

Behind him stood a short, stocky, faceless officer, wearing an open coat and a ragged military uniform, with his chin leaning on his bare chest. Under his hair, a piece of burnt skin hung on his narrow white forehead.

Between the hard palate and the tip of the forehead are some bone fragments and a puddle of purple-red soup. A little further away is a pile of stumps and military uniform fragments randomly piled up, as well as a crushed leg twisted where the long head was.

.

Farther away, there lay a corpse that almost looked like a child, with full lips and a face as oval as a child; a row of machine gun bullets penetrated his chest, leaving four holes in it.

"Is this war? How can war become so bloody and cruel?"

At this time, the civilian team that came out of Yaksa to collect the wounded and dead soldiers were shocked when they saw such a scene. Many people lay on the ground and began to vomit, and their cries and wailings began to echo in the wilderness.

.

Except for the soldiers of the Northern Navy, the Cossacks leaving the city and standing on the city wall all made the sign of the cross, and some even knelt on the city wall. Everyone remained silent and did not speak for a long time.

Kang Youcai, who was squatting on the edge of the trench, seemed to be unable to bear the depressing atmosphere. He pointed at the Cossacks on the castle and cursed: "Are you afraid now? Why did you go there so early?! We are fighting Guigudar."

City, how come you don’t know how to be afraid when you hit Humaer City? A bunch of beasts who care about beating but not eating!”

"..."

Zhao Xin finally met the famous Tsarist Russian general in this time and space. Under the surprised gaze of the other party, he stretched out his right hand and shook Suvorov's hand gently and then let go.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Please sit down, General."

Suvorov sat down expressionlessly, stared at Zhao Xin for a long time, and then sighed: "I was wrong from the beginning. You are not the Qing army."

"This is both correct and incorrect." Zhao Xin and other guards brought a pot of tea, poured water, and then continued: "Whether we are the Qing army or not, we are also Chinese, and you have violated our territory

.As for the conflict between me and the Qing Dynasty, that is our own business."

"Then what should I call you? Young man. You are the first opponent for me to raise the white flag."

"My surname is Zhao. Your Major General Alessandro, who was captured in Heilongjiang City, called me His Highness. And to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I am a descendant of a vassal king in the previous dynasty." I saw a group of Tsarist Russian generals exposed.

Looking surprised, Zhao Xin put away his smile and said: "As for raising the white flag, general, as invaders, I should hang you all. This truth can be justified wherever I go."

"Going to the gallows? That doesn't matter. If your highness can let my men go back, I don't have a problem with it even if you go to the gallows."

"Haha, go back, is there such a good thing in this world? If you can't defeat it, bow your head and admit defeat, pat your butt and walk away, just pretend that nothing happened?"

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Lay down your weapons, leave the city, surrender, and wait for punishment. During this period, I allow you to collect the bodies of all the dead. There is no need to dig graves. I think the trenches you dug outside the city are good."

As soon as this statement came out, except for Suvorov, the other Tsarist Russian generals quit.

"Your Excellency, you will be punished by God for doing this...Blah blah blah"

"Those soldiers and officers who died in battle are entitled to a tombstone of their own!"

Zhao Xin smiled and did not refute. He sipped the tea in his cup and listened quietly to these people's nonsense.

Suvorov suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone's chattering, looked at Zhao Xin and said: "Are you going to attack Irkutsk?"

"Yes," Zhao Xin showed his habitual evil smile. "Since you always have ambitions for the Far East, then I will help you. From now on, we will use the Yenisei River as our boundary."

Suvorov was shocked and said: "Young man, you can't do this! Are you ready to go to war with a huge empire?"

Zhao Xin then said something, which immediately frightened the Tsarist Russian generals present and shut their mouths.

"General, what you said disappoints me so much. Well, I will send someone to contact the Ottoman Empire and carve up Ukraine with them. I think His Majesty the Sultan will be happy for me to provide military assistance."
