Among the 1,500 elite soldiers that Sa Bing'a had selected from his subordinates, 200 were Sauron soldiers, and the rest were from the Eight Banners of Manchuria who had been stationed in Jilin City for a long time. The reason for this choice is that these Manchu Banners are very familiar with the terrain of Xiaobai Mountain.
After having a detailed discussion with Zhunise, the first-class guard Bobin followed his advice and waited until dark before taking action. In order to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, everyone will follow Zhu Nise's suggestion and smear mud on the cotton armor to hide at night; at the same time, in order to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, the Qing army will tie a white cloth strip on the left arm.
When the team of more than 1,500 people arrived at the source of the Lafa River, it was already early in the afternoon. Bobin ordered that everyone wrap their horses' hooves in thick felt so as not to disturb the birds in the forest. The large group of people, led by dozens of armored Sauron soldiers in front, entered a valley on the southwest side of Xiaobai Mountain to hide.
The Qing army moved very smoothly along this route. Although they moved slowly, they did not encounter the Northern Navy. Both Betong and Zhu Nise felt that it was God's blessing.
According to the previously planned strategy, Zhunise will now rush back to the North Navy camp to join up with other companions in order to serve as an internal response. The launch time agreed upon by both parties was initially set at the beginning of the night.
This guy is also a ruthless person, even Bobin and other guards felt inferior to him after seeing him. In order to make Bei Haijun believe that he was swept away by the rapids in the mountains and was injured and unable to walk, he simply found a river beach, jumped in first to get his whole body soaked, and then jumped up several times and fell directly on the gravel, leaving scars all over his body. Bloody.
After that, Zhunise limped and disappeared into the dense forest, leaning on a tree trunk, accompanied by two Qing soldiers pretending to be Kurkhaqi hunters.
The later secular name "Zhang Guangcai Ridge" is actually derived from the transliteration of the Manchu "Zhegenchai Alin"; Zhegencai means good luck and good luck in Manchu, while Alin refers to the mountains.
But these are all folk names. On the official map of the Qing court, the northern section of Zhangguangcai Ridge is called "Xiaobai Mountain", the southern section is called Weihe Mountain, the western section is Namuwoji (later known as Xilaoye Ridge), and the east and west mountains between It is the Jiaohe Basin. The Tuijiao Station where Zhao Xin and Liu Yong met before is located in the eastern part of the Jiaohe Basin.
At present, once the Western Front troops of the Northern Navy leave Xiaobai Mountain, the next target of attack is Tuijiao Station. As long as they occupy this place, the Qing army camp on the Lafa River will be seventy miles away.
Zhao Xin planned to stay here for a few days. Firstly, the Qing army on the front line of Lafa River was relatively strong and he was a little worried about leaving. Secondly, he wanted to wait for Jiuzang's troops to arrive in Erduoli before going there to provide support.
As for the eastern front attack force led by Lu Shoushan, he was not very worried. Now the offensive forces on the eastern front have captured Tulamukalen and are advancing towards Khuramulkaren. As long as Lu Shoushan can capture Xitu Kalun under Xitu Mountain, the Thor fleet can transport supplies through Mokuowei Bay on the north side of the Tumen River estuary.
After the Battle of Hunchun is over, the captured Qing troops can be directly shipped to Ezo and Kuye Island.
The rumbling sound of cannons broke the tranquility in the mountains and forests. Countless beasts woke up from their dreams and fled in panic towards the depths of Changbai Mountain to the north.
Behind the attack position of the Northern Navy, an artillery position consisting of more than a dozen mortars was shelling the Qing army's Dizihao fortress at the western foot of Xiaobai Mountain. However, due to the terrain, the defending Qing troops hid in a natural cave inside the fortress after the bombardment began. It was difficult for mortar fire to hit, let alone 75mm field artillery.
In the previous attack, the Qing troops at the Dizihao Fortress went crazy and ignited twenty kilograms of explosive bombs before rolling them down the mountain road; other flying mines, such as gourds filled with gunpowder and iron sand, also Just throw it down like you don't need money. There were explosions and roars on the mountain road, and white smoke billowed.
Taking advantage of the Beihai Navy's sight being blocked, the Qing army pushed out several mountain-splitting cannons and fired at the mountain road with shotgun shells. Another group of archers stood on the top of the slope where the Beihai Navy could not see it, pointing down. Throwing arrows.
After so many battles with the Bei Navy, the Qing army has learned its lesson and will not confront you head-on. If the cannon can't hit, let's throw the shells. There are plenty of explosive shells in the gunpowder magazine anyway. The worst thing is to roll a pile of twenty-pound iron balls on the mountain road. They can trip you up and break your head.
This Dihao fortress is the largest fortress set up by the Qing army in front of Tuijiao Station. It has a lot of ordnance and supplies. It previously shouldered the important task of supplying the fortress at the eastern foot of Xiaobai Mountain.
The Qing army responsible for guarding this place resisted desperately because their families were all in Jilin City, and these people had flag fields given by the imperial court.
After the beginning of spring, Beihai Town's seizure of land from banner people and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Ningguta spread to Jilin City, making many banner families worried. If the Northern Navy were to attack Jilin, it would be a surrender, but the land would be gone. What would the family have to eat in the future?
The road up and down the Dizihao Fortress is the only way to the Tuijiao Station. The small troops of the Northern Navy can go around it, but the large troops cannot go around it at all. There is only this road for dozens of miles around. The attacking company has been beaten back twice by the Qing army's thunder and bomb offensives. Although not many people died, many were injured. Many people were blown up by the gourd flying thunder, which made Hu Ji who was at the headquarters scream in anger.
However, Zhao Xin was not in a hurry and just regarded it as training. Anyway, Jiuzang's side was still traveling through the mountains, and Mount Lu Shoushan had not arrived yet. There was no point in rushing into the Jiaohe Basin too early. If Qinggui is really scared away in advance, it would be fine if he runs towards Shengjing, but once he runs north and joins the Qing army in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang City will be in danger.
Huji said: "Lord, how about I lead the second company to attack? If we can't defeat them in two hours, I'll come and see you!"
Zhao Xin slapped the table and shouted to Hu Ji: "Save your head and eat well, why are you in a hurry?! The key to this battle is not to fight this fortress, do you understand that?!"
Zhao Xin pointed to the map and continued: "The key to fighting on the Western Front is to defeat the enemy in front of them as quickly as possible after Jiuzang and his companions arrive at Eduoli and block the Hunchun Qing army's westward escape route. Wula City, to prevent the Jilin Qing army from escaping north. At that time, you will need to stick to killing Wula regardless of the cost. If you fight all the troops now with injuries, how will you fight later? You tell me!"
Hu Ji lowered his head and listened to Zhao Xin's scolding, not daring to say a word.
Zhao Xin sighed secretly. Among the first seven people who followed him, Hu Ji was one of a kind. I can be a company commander, and a battalion commander is fine, but I'm really not the material to be a regiment commander. If it weren't for the lack of suitable people at hand, he would have transferred him back to the Beihai Town Guards Corps.
This time Zhao Xin launched the "Hunchun Battle" and attracted the attention of all the people across time. Not only Liu Sheng and others in Irkutsk have been paying attention to the progress of the battle, but also the teachers at Beihai Town Primary School and the people at the power plant. focus on. Wang Yuanfang, who is based in Beihai Town, has received many calls in the past two days asking about the progress of the front line, which makes him tireless.
Compared with occupying the distant Lake Baikal, many traversers are more concerned about the Northern Navy's approach to the south. After all, the further south you drive, the closer you are to Shanhaiguan. Some young time travelers were still afraid that Qianlong would become so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood and die, and that He Shen would slap his butt and run away.
However, for a group of ancients such as Wang Zhong, Liji, Zhinai, and Wan Zao, they are more concerned about Zhao Xin's wife Shen Xuan. Shen Xuan Tiangui didn't come last month, and she occasionally had chest tightness and nausea. Mother Zhao, who hadn't left yet, paid attention. Only when the old lady accompanied Shen Xuan to the hospital for a separate examination with Hong Tao did she realize that she had it.
Of course, the news only spread within a small area, but it still made those early residents of Beihai Town happy.
Now everyone feels a lot more at ease. As long as Empress Shen can give birth to a son, even if King Zhao and the old man are called back by God to continue to be gods, we will have a leader in Beihai Town.
When Chen Qingsong went home for dinner in the evening, he heard Qing He's words and immediately couldn't laugh or cry. He asked casually: "Who said Mr. Zhao will return to heaven and continue to be a god?"
While Qing He was serving him food, he said, "Hey? Don't you know, Master? Now many people are secretly spreading rumors that once the prince defeats the Manchus outside the Pass, he will return to heaven and become a god... The braised pork is still hot on the fire, I'll bring it to you."
Chen Qingsong's eyebrows jumped, and he put down his bowl and chopsticks and thought for a moment. When Qing He came back with the dishes, he saw that he didn't move his bowl and chopsticks, and asked strangely: "Why don't you eat? The dishes are cold."
"Put down the bowl first and sit down." Chen Qingsong looked serious, which made Qinghe a little confused, thinking that he was fine just now. After sitting down, Chen Qingsong looked at Qing He and said solemnly: "Tell me from the beginning, who started spreading this message? Don't miss a word."
Qing He had never seen Chen Qingsong look like this before, and recalled: "At around two o'clock in the afternoon..."
By the time Chen Qingsong finished listening, his face was already a little blue. He stood up, picked up his coat, and said to Qing He, "I'm going out."
Qing He looked at her man with a worried look. She didn't expect that a few rumors would make Chen Qingsong not even think about eating. Thinking of what he heard in the afternoon, Qing He sat at the dinner table blankly, losing his appetite at all.
After Chen Qingsong went out, he thought about it. He originally wanted to find Yu Deli, but he stopped halfway and said to the accompanying guard chief: "Let's go to the Hedong Barracks."
After Wang Yuanfang received the call from the guard at the base gate, he was stunned for a long time. He didn't understand why Chen Qingsong was looking for him at night. Can't he talk on the phone if he had something to do? He put down the phone and glanced at the alarm clock on the table. It was almost nine o'clock.
After Chen Qingsong saw Wang Yuanfang, he asked the few guards who followed him to wait in other rooms. He told Wang Yuanfang what he heard from Qing He, and the two chatted until late at night...
The Dizihao fortress in Xiaobai Mountain was not captured even at dusk. In the afternoon, the Beihai Navy changed their tactics; they selected soldiers with good marksmanship and sent out only one squad at a time. Under the cover of artillery bombardment, they gradually approached from 400 meters away. As long as the Qing army dared to take the lead, it would be full of fire!
The Qing army had no choice but to resort to the "rolling thunder" trick and continue to throw explosive bombs and flying thunder down the mountain road. After half a day of fighting, few of the Beihai navy were injured, but there were not many flying mines in stock in the fortress. Although there are still plenty of gunpowder and iron bullets for blunderbuss, there are not many gourds left.
Before dark, the arms of the Qing soldiers who had been throwing cannonballs and flying thunderbolts all day inside Dizihao Fortress were sore and weak. Even so, in order to prepare for the night attack by the Northern Navy, the guard arranged for everyone to take turns to rest and did not dare to slack off at all.
At the same time, at the Beihai Navy logistics warehouse one mile away from Zhao Xin's headquarters, Zhu Dagui and others who had just returned from the front line learned the good news that Zhunise, a Hezhe native who slipped and fell into the torrent of a deep valley yesterday, was not dead. , was sent back by a Kurkhachi hunter.
After the Hezhe man named Qibukadai heard about it, he hurried to a nearby field hospital without even eating dinner. Thanks to years of hard work and personal supervision by Zhao Xin, the logistics supply of the Beihai Navy is unparalleled in this time and space.
Frontline troops can not only eat hot food, but also receive quick medical treatment after being injured. The medical system in residential areas established by Hong Tao and Liu Siting can dispatch a large number of medical staff at any time to support frontline operations. The use of antibiotics and other drugs from another time and space has effectively eliminated the problem of wound infection.
Qibukadai passed the inspection with his identity card, and soon saw Zhu Nise lying in the tent wrapped in gauze. As soon as the two met each other, they first talked in Manchu for a while about surviving the catastrophe and thanking the mountain god. When Qibukadai went out to pee and noticed that there was no one outside the tent, he He walked into the tent and asked in a low voice: "Are you in touch?"
Zhunise did not answer, but asked in a low voice: "Is that person still there?"
Qibukadai nodded and said: "Yes. More than a mile away from here, in a mountain col."
Zhu Nise leaned into his ear and whispered: "I am injured and have difficulty moving. It's all up to you. Remember! Chouchu, our people wrapped their left arms with white cloth belts. Master Bobin led his elite soldiers. Thousand and five hundred. Go tell the others and start the fire as a signal. We must not let him escape this time!"
Qibukadai nodded. There were five of them in the group. Except for himself and Zhunise who were in the same village, the others were scattered among the migrant workers' teams in the other three villages. He had to leave quickly now and contact those people while he was eating.
Afterwards, the two of them pretended to be in love, and Qibukadai looked reluctant to leave, with a few tears of joy hanging on his face, and then left the field hospital.
Afterwards, they learned that Zhu Nise was safe and had only a broken leg. Zhu Dagui and other people from the same village felt relieved and said that they had survived the catastrophe and would be blessed with good fortune in the future. During the meal, Qibukadai said that he had to go and report to a Hezhe man from the next village that he was safe. That man also knew Zhunise.
Zhu Dagui did not doubt his presence and waved him away with a smile.
At midnight, Qibukadai, who was lying at the entrance of the tent pretending to sleep, gently lifted the quilt and tiptoed out of the tent. At this time, there was silence in the logistics camp. Except for the soldiers patrolling more than ten meters away, no one else moved around.
Qibukadai pretended not to wake up, and walked towards a big tree in a daze. As he was unbuttoning his belt, he heard someone above him whispering: "Don't stay here!"
Qibukadai pretended to be startled, looked up, rubbed his eyes, then got up and went to another tree. He looked up into the sky and quickly found the location of the Big Dipper through the gaps between the treetops. He calculated silently in his mind for a moment and determined that the midnight hour had passed and it was almost the ugly hour.
If the ancients were in the wild at night, if they understood astronomy and stars, they would have no problem determining the time. Qibu Kadai was sent to Beihai Town as a detective from the Guanggan Department. If he didn't even have this ability, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Qibukadai, who pretended to be urinating under his subordinates, took out a dagger painted black from his arms, and he was ready to take action!
Qibukadai had already pinpointed the location of the sentry when he rubbed his eyes. When a few patrolling soldiers came dozens of meters away from him, he turned around and raised his hand fiercely. The dagger was like a ghost in the night. It flew out with a swish and plunged accurately into the back of the sentry on the tree.
The dead sentry tilted his body and fell from the tree, and the broken branches made a crashing sound. At this time, the patrols in the distance heard the noise and were about to come over to check. Suddenly they heard someone not far away shouting: "Fire!"
Several soldiers turned around and looked again, only to see a bunch of fire rising into the sky at the field hospital, and the camp suddenly became noisy.
At the same time, hundreds of Qing troops armed with various weapons, each with their mouths in their mouths and their faces painted black, quietly attacked from the south side of the logistics camp.
The Ouchi guards and archers who were leading the team did not yell when they arrived at the logistics camp. They raised their bows and shot directly at the people who emerged from the tents in the camp.
After the wave of arrows passed, the hundreds of Qing troops who followed rushed out of the forest with a roar. They took out the flying thunder made of gourds from the bags around their waists, lit them with matches, and swished. Just threw it into the camp.
It was only then that the Ouchi guard leading the team shouted: "Kill the thief!"
After that, he held a knife in one hand and a blunderbuss in the other, and rushed into the camp first.
