After briefly explaining the battle situation in Dujigensk to Liu De, He Manchuan and Ma Long, Zhao Qiang ordered Ma Long to immediately lead the cavalry regiment to Dujigensk. [] He Manchuan's headquarters and the Cossack brigade rest and recuperate.
Half a day later, they all headed to Dujigensk. At the same time, he ordered the sergeant officer Guo Fei to immediately organize the transportation of logistics grain and grass. It was necessary to ensure that the food transported to Dujigensk could be eaten by the participating troops for a month. He also ordered the military commander in Yazhou to go to Dujigensk for a month.
Wei Ji of Sksk quickly requisitioned another 2,000 young men, including Han Chinese, and organized them into four battalions and sent them to Tugursk to supplement the losses of the participating regiments at any time.
After the meeting, Ma Long immediately led the Second Cavalry Regiment to Dujigensk. Zhao Qiang gave him the order that in addition to arriving at Dujigensk within two days, he also had to cut off Dujigensk from the Russian strongholds in the northwest Heilongjiang River Basin.
We must not let another Russian army enter Dujigensk. After receiving the order, Malone slapped his chest and issued a military order to the commander, vowing that if a Rakshasa ghost got into Dujigensk under the nose of his Second Cavalry Regiment, he
Jijgensk, he just wiped his neck.
Two brigades of He Manchuan's 3rd Infantry Regiment were reorganized into security brigades, and now there are only five brigades in total. However, one Han Army brigade has all been equipped with firecrackers, plus the firecrackers of the Second Infantry Regiment.
It was barely possible to form another firecrackers brigade, so after the battle began, Zhao Qiang had two firecrackers brigades. The original defenders of Dujigensk were more than 400, and with the reinforcements that rushed into the city a few days ago, the number of musketeers reached
Eight hundred, relying on the two newly-refitted firecrackers brigades will definitely be unable to suppress the experienced Russian musketeers. Therefore, Zhao Qiang does not have high hopes for how effective these two firecrackers brigades can be. He just hopes that they will
As long as you can fight the Russian army without being completely defeated.
In view of the fact that the Dujigensk garrison had eight artillery pieces and caused heavy casualties to the 2nd Infantry Regiment attacking the city, Zhao Qiang ordered Udysk's Gualgda and Tugursk Guard Brigade Captain Zhao De to let him
They gathered all the young and strong people of all ethnic groups in the two places and robbed all the people of all ethnic groups within a radius of thirty miles and took them to Dujigensi. Liu De was a little confused about this order and didn't understand why the commander wanted to conscript the people of all ethnic groups to Dujigensi.
However, Zhao Qiang's explanation for this was only two "cannon fodder". After hearing this, Liu De did not speak for a long time, and then he raised his head and sighed, and then he personally drafted this order. In addition to requiring the two places to arrest people of all ethnic groups, Liu De
, and also asked them to escort the Rakshasa civilians in the city together.
"Whether they are old people, children, or women, they will all be taken to Dujigensk to await their orders. Anyone who resists and refuses to comply will be executed on the spot." This was the last sentence of Liu De's order.
The main force of the infantry set off in the early morning of September 20th. Tugursk is located southeast of Dujigensk, more than two hundred miles away from Dujigensk. According to the Japanese marching speed of 60 miles, it would take nearly four days to reach Tugursk.
We can arrive. But the battle report and messenger sent by Zuo Mingnan said that the current situation of the Second Infantry Regiment is not optimistic. It can neither fight nor retreat, and has been held back by the Russian army. Liu De came from Russia
Analysis of the army's actions showed that the Russians in Dujgensk obviously wanted to wipe out the 2nd Infantry Regiment. However, they may not have many reinforcements and could temporarily wipe out the 2nd Infantry Regiment in one fell swoop, so they wanted to delay the 2nd Infantry Regiment.
The Second Infantry Regiment is waiting for more reinforcements to arrive. Calculating the time, it took two days for the messenger to report quickly. Two days is definitely a long time for both sides of the war. During this time,
No one knows what happened. It is very likely that the new Russian reinforcements have arrived in Dujigensk. Therefore, the reinforcements must set off without delay, without any delay on the road, and the marching speed must be increased, eighty miles, ninety miles, one hundred miles
Even more.
This is the first time that Zhao Qiang has faced such a passive situation after so many years in the North. In the past, he had always taken the lead and caught the Russians off guard, but now he had to be led by the Russians to fight them. It was inevitable that he felt a little cowardly and aggrieved.
But the key battle that determines the future situation of both sides will definitely break out, and it is better to fight it earlier than later. It does not matter that the Second Infantry Regiment has lost two brigades, but the Second Infantry Regiment must not be allowed to be blamed by the Russians.
Otherwise, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the entire Guan Ning Army. More importantly, if the Second Infantry Regiment is completely wiped out, Zhao Qiangshou will only have one Third Infantry Regiment in addition to the two cavalry regiments.
.Removing the two brigades that were reorganized into security brigades, the Third Infantry Regiment now only has five brigades with 3,000 troops. These 3,000 infantry will be the main force in siege. In addition, Zhao Qiang no longer has any troops available for siege operations.
of infantry.
Zhao Qiang never thought about letting the Cossack Brigade also participate in siege operations. If the battle goes well, the Cossack Brigade will become a convenient blade. But if the news comes out that the Second Infantry Regiment was wiped out, the Russians in the Cossack Brigade will
The Guan Ning Army will definitely become an unstable bomb, and no one can tell what they will think at that time. For these Russians, the Guan Ning Army has always been like a god, and they have never suffered from it.
In defeat, no opponent can ever stop their progress. It is precisely for this reason that these Russians will be frightened, surrender, and work for the Guan Ning Army. Once the myth of the Guan Ning Army's invincibility is shattered, Zhao Qiang will definitely
I believe that the Cossack brigade and the soldiers of all ethnic groups who were forcibly recruited will fall one by one like dominoes. By then, not only will the ultimate goal of the Dingyuan operation be aborted, but the entire Guanning Army will also collapse. Zhao Qiang and his
A group of Wu Army brothers will once again be in poverty and flee. Therefore, Zhao Qiang ordered to block the news of the defeat of the 2nd Infantry Regiment. Except for himself, Liu De, He Manchuan, and Ma Long, no other officers knew about this.
In this situation, they only know that the commander-in-chief will lead them to completely conquer the Rakshasa people and drive them out of this land forever. The upcoming battle will also be the last battle before winter. Can they get promoted and make a fortune?
, whether they can obtain more wealth, slaves, and land is the final battle. For those auxiliary soldiers, this battle is also related to whether they can become regular soldiers before winter comes, otherwise in the long winter
, they will not get enough food. In addition to enduring hunger and oppression, their families will also have to worry about when they will freeze to death. Therefore, for themselves and their loved ones, they must also fight bravely and use their life-saving performance
Earn respect and a chance to survive!
Dujigensk, no matter how many Russian troops there are, no matter how many people will die, I will definitely capture you. I will make sure that the Russians never dare to touch my tiger beard again!
"The fundamental purpose of this battle is to get the Rakshasa people to sit down and negotiate with us!"
Zhao Qiang told Liu De his real plan during the march. The Battle of Dujigensk was indeed the last battle. He wanted to annihilate all the invading Russian troops and negotiate with the Russians with an absolute advantage, because after this battle, the Guan Ning Army
They will no longer fight against the Rakshasa people. Their real enemy is the Manchu. The enemy of the enemy is his friend. As long as it can benefit himself, Zhao Qiang does not mind cooperating with the Russians. He even does not mind signing a treaty with the Russians.
It was a very treasonous treaty in later generations. For him, strength is the most important, and everything else is just a cover. If the Russians are willing to provide Guan Ning's army with firearms and medicine, and are willing to provide all the war materials that Guan Ning's army urgently needs, even if
They asked Guan Ning's army to cede the entire territory outside the Guan to Russia after moving south. Zhao Qiang thought he would agree without hesitation. But whether they could get what the treaty needed by then would depend on whether their blades were bright enough.
After listening to what Zhao Qiang said, Liu De's eyes lit up and he sincerely praised: "The handsome man is wise!"
