Chapter 489 Landing operations (10)

Just as Zhuda and Luo Yue led their troops to attack the Russian army's forewar town camp, another People's Army also cooperated with the armored troops to attack the Russian army's frontier positions south, and notified the People's Army stationed at Jiumen to cooperate with the attack of the sixth troops to attack the Russian army's frontier positions on both sides.

The People's Army troops stationed at Jiumen had been waiting for nearly an hour. After receiving the attack notice from the Dengjun Unit 6, the Second, Fifth and Ninth Regiments stationed at Jiumen decided to start preparing at 12 pm and send troops at any time. At the same time, they also sent people to notify the Qing army to prepare to fight tonight.

However, the People's Army soldiers stationed at Jiumen went to bed early and got up at 12 o'clock, ready to wait for the People's Army notification. Nazhi waited until almost 2 o'clock in the morning before receiving the order to attack the Russian frontier positions. The commander of the garrison troops at Jiumen immediately ordered that only artillery guard the camp be left, and the rest of the troops attacked and attacked the Russian frontier camp, and sent people to inform the Qing army in Shanhaiguan that they could go to war.

The People's Army units of these three regiments have been fully equipped and are a little impatient to wait. Therefore, after the order was given, the whole people immediately set off and soon arrived near the Russian army's camp.

Although there was no trace of the Qing army at this time, there were dense sounds of guns and cannons behind the Russian camp, which was obviously the attack on the frontier positions of the Russian army.

*** also decided not to wait for the Qing army, and immediately attacked the Russian camp. Anyway, *** never sent any hope to the Qing army, and even wanted to fight with the Qing army at all. It was notified that the Qing army was just that the People's Army still needed to establish good relations with the Qing army in Shanhaiguan. It would be better if the Qing army did not come, because in ***'s opinion, the Qing army was basically a pig team, not only did not play a role in assisting the People's Army in combat, but on the contrary, it would also involve the energy of the People's Army, making the People's Army unable to devote all its energy to the battle.

The People's Army was a little impatient when it was waiting, but now it finally got the opportunity to fight. Everyone was very motivated, and the three regiments rushed to the Russian army's positions from three directions.

During the People's Army's attack, the Russian army's resistance was very weak, and it seemed that there were not many people. Because most of the Russian army's energy was placed behind the scenes and blocking the People's Army's 6th troops. The frontal defense was naturally insufficient. The three people's army did not lose much power, so they broke through and entered the Russian army's position.

It turned out that some Russian soldiers who escaped from the camp in Gaoling Town defected to the frontier positions and told Major General Obmochaev, the main general of the frontier positions that the main player had lost. After learning this news, Obmochaev did not believe it at first, but more and more Russian soldiers fled to the frontier positions, and the statements were the same. Although Obmochaev still couldn't believe it, the main player was actually captured by the overseas Chinese army, he couldn't help but disbelieve it at this time, so he hurriedly ordered all Russian soldiers to be alert and strengthen their defense behind them, and prepare to fight against the overseas Chinese army.

In fact, Obmochaev was very clear in his heart that the loss of the main business means that the Russian army's plan to retreat south failed this time. Therefore, the best choice at this time is to evacuate the camp immediately and try to take a detour back to Jinzhou. This may also save the two regiments stationed in the frontier positions. But Obmochaev still had a hint of luck in his heart. Something unexpected happened to the main business, or although the main business was lost, the Russian army still preserved a large amount of troops. After retreating to the frontier town camp, they could regain their momentum and support the frontier camp.

As a result, after the Russian army made the battle arrangement, the sixth troops moved to the frontier camp of the Russian army. In fact, this was a battle without suspense, because the assault of the armored troops was not something that the Russian army could resist, and there were no defensive fortifications behind the Russian positions. At this time, the People's Army stationed at Jiumen attacked from the front and back. As a result, under the front and back attacks of the People's Army, the Russian defense line quickly collapsed completely and was attacked by the People's Army and was defeated and fled in all directions.

The entire battle process only lasted about 40 minutes, and the People's Army basically controlled the frontier camp of the Russian army. At this moment, Song Qing and Ma Yukun also led the Qing army to the battlefield.

The late arrival of the Qing army is actually very complicated. Although Song Qing and Ma Yukun expressed their willingness to follow the People's Army to fight before the war, when they heard that the Russian army dispatched more than 30,000 troops to attack Shanhaiguan this time, both of them became nervous again. After all, in the Qing Dynasty's foreign wars, this was the largest number of foreign troops except for the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. For example, the British army had only more than 15,000 people in the First Opium War, and the British and French coalition forces in the Second Opium War were only more than 18,000 people; and when the Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing, there were only more than 18,000 people, and in the later period, the Russian army's strength reached more than 32,000 people, and the combat effectiveness of the Russian army was generally recognized as the top among all countries.

Although the People's Army achieved brilliant results before, firstly, the two of them only heard of it and did not see it with their own eyes; secondly, the opponents of the People's Army were far inferior to those of the Russian army this time, and now the People's Army's troops at Jiumen are only about 10,000, and the defenders of Shanhaiguan are only more than 25,000. Therefore, it is reasonable for Song Qing and Ma Yukun to feel unsure, and they also regret it. They should not speak quickly at the time and want to fight with overseas Chinese.

However, the People's Army defeated the Russian army's first attack on the Jiumenkou defense line, which made Song Qing and Ma Yukun's confidence in the People's Army recover a little. It seems that overseas Chinese are not bragging, and they do have some tricks. It seems that it is still possible to defend Shanhaiguan. Moreover, the terrain of Shanhaiguan is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we can continue to defend and defeat the Russian army a few more attacks, the Russian army will easily be exhausted. At that time, the Qing army and the People's Army will counterattack against the Russian army, and the chance of defeating the Russian army is still very high.

However, Song Qing and Ma Yukun had just been at ease for two days before they received a notice from the People's Army that the People's Army would attack the Russian army at night tonight, completely defeat the Russian army in one fell swoop, ask the Qing army to prepare, wait for the People's Army's notice, and jointly send troops to defeat Russia. The two were shocked. Unexpectedly, the Chinese overseas dared to do it and actually attacked the Russian army at night, which was very different from the two's expectations. Although night raids are indeed the essence of military art, how can there be no one in the Russian army who is proficient in military art? If the Russian army sets up an ambush, it would be very dangerous. Moreover, overseas Chinese actually wanted to completely defeat the Russian army in one fell swoop. Why does it sound like a desperate bet? However, overseas Chinese are not like those unreliable people. At least so far, overseas Chinese are basically reliable in their actions.

So should we fight with overseas Chinese? If we go to war, the consequences will be unimaginable if we lose. Not only will our entire army be destroyed, I am afraid that even Shanhaiguan will not be able to save it. But if we don’t go to war, what if overseas Chinese really defeat the Russian army? It is a trivial matter to not get military merits, and it will be difficult to deal with overseas Chinese. Song Qing and Ma Yukun have also heard some rumors about overseas Chinese, including those saying that overseas Chinese are domineering and self-reliance, and they don’t even take it seriously in the court. And they also seem to have the ambition to separatist the land and become kings, so they cannot easily offend them. So Song Qing and Ma Yukun were worried about gains and losses, and were in a dilemma, but they still ordered the Qing army to prepare and sent people to the Jiumen to inquire about the movements of overseas Chinese.

After receiving the notice from ***, Song Qing and Ma Yukun came up with a solution. The soldiers must be out, but don’t rush to join the war. Instead, you should first watch the situation on the battlefield. If overseas Chinese have the advantage, you will naturally be able to join the battle. However, if overseas Chinese lose to the Russian army, you will immediately withdraw to Shanhaiguan and defend the city of the city. In addition, the Qing army was divided into two groups, with only 1 ooo people in the front, so you can observe close to the battlefield.

However, the Qing army did not prepare well as early as the People's Army. After receiving the notice from the ***, it still needed some preparation time. Moreover, Shanhaiguan was far away from the battlefield. Therefore, when the front of the Qing army arrived near the Russian position, the People's Army had already attacked the Russian army's camp, which obviously had already gained the upper hand. So the Qing army in the front hurriedly sent people to inform Song Qing and Ma Yukun.

Just when Song Qing and Ma Yukun arrived at the battlefield urgently, the battle had come to an end. The People's Army had basically controlled the Russian camp and sent two regiments to support Gaoling Town and Qianwei Town. The Qing army actually had no chance to participate in the war.

Song Qing and Ma Yukun couldn't help but become nervous again. He didn't expect that overseas Chinese were so powerful that they actually defeated the Russian army in one fell swoop. However, he did not come to participate in the war at the extreme. Will overseas Chinese feel dissatisfied? However, at this time, the two had no other choice but to bite the bullet and come to see ***.

However, after meeting with ***, ***'s attitude towards the two was not changed much from before. It was still kind and kind, and he did not ask why the two came late. Instead, they asked the two to lead the Qing army immediately and disperse the remaining Russian soldiers and said that the arrest and killing of Russian soldiers were the result of the Qing army. However, the three camps of the Russian army had been occupied by the People's Army, so the Qing army would not be able to do anything.

Although the People's Army successfully captured three Russian camps and killed and captured a large number of Russian soldiers, a considerable number of Russian soldiers fled from the camp and were scattered in the four outer areas. After all, the People's Army's troops were not large and could only control the camp and surrounding areas. They were quite unable to clear out the remaining Russian soldiers. Song Qing and Ma Yukun had nearly 10,000 people, and were familiar with the terrain of this area. Therefore, it is most appropriate to hand over this task to the Qing army.
