Absolute hell on earth!

"The marshal means..."

"this......"

The faces of the group of people all turned pale.

Wouldn't this be too inhumane?

Ushakov took a deep breath and finally made a decision: "Go and prepare!"

"yes......"

The deputy generals responded with dull voices.

...

The battle on Sakhalin Island is still going on, but the defender has changed from Niu Chaofeng before to Xiao Qian now.

Xiao Qian, Long Yan's famous general, led the Qingzhou soldiers, who were also Long Yan's top troops.

Niu Chaofeng, a commoner, could defend Sakhalin Island with some civilian armed forces without systematic training, and Xiao Qian's elite were naturally no problem.

But despite this, Xiao Qian still had some difficulty in dealing with the Russian attack.

Fortunately, this is Long Yan's own land after all, and there is a steady stream of support.

The Russian navy led by Ushakov continued to attack, but to no avail.

Today, Tsarist Russia retreated once again after throwing away more than 500 corpses. This was already the 31st defeat of the Tsarist Russian navy this week.

Ming Jin withdraws the troops.

Xiao Qian's lieutenants helped him take off his shirt.

Xiao Qian, who had been tired for a day, picked up the wine next to him and took a sip.

"General, what do these idiots want to do? Are they out of soldiers?"

"Yeah, the artillery attacks these days don't seem to be that bad..."

"Should we...should counterattack?"

Xiao Qian had a dark look on his face.

Counterattack? What are you thinking about?

Do you think only Long Yan has support? Tsarist Russia’s front is actually not very long...and water transportation is not comparable to land transportation.

Something fishy!

Tsarist Russia must be up to something!

Xiao Qian actually had a puzzled look on his face. Ever since they took over the defense of Sakhalin Island, the Tsarist Russian army's attacks had never stopped.

At the beginning, the attack momentum was very fierce. Although it was still unable to gain a foothold on Sakhalin Island, it also caused certain casualties to Xiao Qian's army.

However, in recent days, the pace of Tsarist Russia's attacks has slowed down significantly, and the frequency of attacks and the number of people landing on the island have dropped significantly.

In the past, it could cause some casualties to Xiao Qian's army, but later, it just threw their lives on the coast needlessly.

"I don't know what conspiracy they have. Maybe they are waiting for us to relax. Go back and tell the sergeants to be very alert. As long as the Russian Navy does not retreat, we will not be able to relax for a moment!"

Although the war was at an upper hand, Xiao Qian did not dare to be careless. To a certain extent, Sakhalin Island was a barrier to Liaodong. Once Sakhalin Island was lost, places such as Vladivostok, Hailanpao and Khabarovsk would be lost. It was in danger. Once the Outer Khingan Range and the Greater Khingan Range were captured by Tsarist Russia, Liaodong would become the eastern granary of Tsarist Russia.

"General, another soldier has fallen ill!"

Xiao Qian was watching the battlefield in the distance when a military doctor came over with a nervous look on his face.

"Falling sick again?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qian frowned slightly.

The day before yesterday, more than a hundred soldiers fell ill. Yesterday, the number of sick soldiers climbed to 500!

The military doctor determined that the Qingzhou soldiers were not adaptable to the harsh environment in the Northeast and were not acclimatized. Measures had been taken, but who would have thought that on the third day, soldiers would still fall!

"How many more fell this time?"

"Back to the general, today, more than 800 people have fallen ill. Not only that, but there are also thousands of soldiers who are feeling unwell to some extent."

The military doctor surrendered his hands in fear.

"Eight hundred? Thousands?"

Xiao Qian's eyes narrowed slightly. In just three days, more than a thousand people had fallen. Even if they were acclimatized, this force was a bit overwhelming, right?

Moreover, the disease has not been cured, but has spread further. This matter is not that simple, right?

"General, after discussion with several of our military doctors, we feel that this is probably not a result of acclimatization, but..."

"But what, tell me!"

"It's...the plague."
