The two battalions sent by Zhao Xin did not retreat after repelling the Russian troops reinforced from Emulkalun. After leaving one battalion to station on the south bank, the other battalion took a boat to cross the river and stayed at a riverbed six kilometers southeast of Jaquessa.

The Russian reconnaissance team soon discovered the movements of the Northern Navy. They sent hunters and cavalry that night to try to drive them away. The Northern Navy relied on the heavy machine guns on the patrol boat and a simple circular defensive position to effectively resist the harassment of the Russian army all night and firmly guarded the north bank of Heilongjiang.

At 6 a.m. on August 23, most of the Northern Navy, who were staying in Duojin City, boarded the ship and headed west, and arrived at the landing ground that was opened on the north bank of Heilongjiang the day before at 8 a.m. After that, the large group of people headed north and camped in a plain area one kilometer away from the river bank.

At the same time, a reconnaissance team to which the North Navy artillery belonged met with the battalion stationed on the south bank, and then led by the guide Zamusu, entered the Greater Khingan Mountains along the winding Nangai River Valley. Their mission is crucial. The reconnaissance team will find and set up artillery observation points near the hillside southeast of Emulkalun. Once the observation points are set up, both the Ancient City Island and the Yaksa will cover the North Navy's artillery fire.

From August 23 to August 25, except for blocking the Russian troops sent by Yaksa, the Northern Navy was busy building positions, clearing shrubs and weeds, opening up roads by the river, and digging toilets at the lower air outlet...

In battles, especially field battles, logistics supplies are much more important than advanced weapons and the blood bravery of soldiers. It was precisely because of this when Liu Sheng fought against Ningguta that he chose to fight hard and quickly resolve the battle.

Let’s give the simplest chestnut, drink water.

The normal daily water consumption of an adult man weighing 70 kilograms is 3,000 ml. If it is heavy physical labor or the physical energy consumption is very strong, it must increase by 1,000 ml, which is 4,000.

In this era, regardless of Asia and Europe, people need to set up camps before they can be sent to fetch water during combat. In addition, civilians must be arranged to chop wood and boil water to help cook. If a thousand soldiers have to fight long distances, they must be equipped with a team of civilians of 1,000 to 2,000 people. Otherwise, soldiers will not do anything else every day, and just chop wood and boil water and cook will have to spend half of the time. If the water source is polluted, it will be even more verbose.

One kilometer south of the North Navy camp is Heilongjiang, and there are also some puddles and small lakes to the north. Fortunately, there are many water sources in this area, and even if the Russian army wants to use dead horses and cattle to contaminate it, it is not as good as it is. Besides, it is so delicious to keep it and eat meat!

It is said that the use of water purification tablets in the wild is a temporary short-term behavior. First, it has a strange smell and color, second, it is easy to cause iodine allergies, and third, it cannot be removed from the water, and it must be boiled before drinking.

Now that Zhao Xin is the "mobile warehouse", everything is much easier. This is him. If it were Liu Sheng and the others, they would not be able to play with it. Just a road problem could stump them.

Ten water purification trucks with water storage capacity of 6,000 liters can meet the drinking water needs of 10,000 people a day through first-level reverse osmosis. At the same time, each car also comes with two independent power supply systems for 8KW diesel generators, providing sufficient power for water purification equipment and heating equipment.

In addition, there are more than a dozen outdoor cooking trucks, including a cooking truck that can satisfy 300 people at a time and a special staple food truck that can provide 600 people at a time.

"Lao Hu, what should I eat for lunch today?"

"Noodles, canned pork, oily mouthful."

Li Yansheng salied as he heard the chef's words. Since this and other border residents who followed him saw various logistics vehicles of the North Navy at the Humal River, it took a while before gradually adapting and accepting it.

The funny thing the guy did this time was to ask a group of Daurs to cut a lot of grass, saying that he wanted to eat these white and dark green animals, which made the guard company and the chefs of the logistics team laughed at him for several days.

From August 25, as the Northern Navy's position facilities became more and more complete, the Russian army's small-scale harassment could no longer get any advantage, so Suvorov stopped this behavior.

In fact, the Russian army's defense facilities on the front line of Yaksa City were very complete, and the three trench positions were built with complete fortifications, and the terrain of the North Navy was not good. However, what Zhao Xin and his friends needed to do now was to continuously harass and attack the enemy's troops through a battalion arranged on the other side of the river, attracting the attention of the enemy, and providing plenty of time for the artillery reconnaissance team to find suitable observation points.

As usual, when the North Navy's antenna was set up, several drones began to swim freely over Yaksa, the ancient city island and the Emuer River estuary. The buzzing sound made the Russian army feel upset. The next day, even Suvorov himself was alarmed and led a group of officers from the General Staff to the second trench.

"The General is here! Everyone, stand up!" With the command of the regiment commander, all the soldiers on the defense were watching Suvorov and his party riding on the horse. At this time, everyone noticed that the General was wearing only one soldier's wool top today, riding on the horse. He was wearing a George Cross with an orange-black ribbon on his chest.

Suvorov took the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by his subordinates. He saw a small dot approaching in the sky inside and outside. When the small dot became larger and larger in the telescope's field of view, the General noticed the strange appearance and color, as well as the black square box hanging below.

"Hey, gentlemen, who can tell me what this is?"

No one answered, because this was beyond the perception of everyone present.

A corporal suddenly shouted: "General, this is a devil, a monster!"

The leader became a little angry and cursed: "Shut up! You idiot, I want you to hang you up and whip!"

"Oh?" Suvorov asked again, "Mr. Lieutenant, is this true?"

The lieutenant thought for a while and replied: "First, I am just a lieutenant, this is just my guess. Second, General, I personally never believe that there are any monsters and monsters in this world. Even if there are, we can destroy them under your leadership."

"Mr. Captain," the general immediately bowed slightly and said, "Welcome to my place to have supper today, and treat you to lunch tomorrow."

When everyone present heard this, they all looked at the envious and jealous look of the second lieutenant. Within a few minutes, this kind of good thing was missed in vain.

Then Suvorov asked another question: "Who can knock it down?"

The regiment commander stood at the attention and said, "General, we shot it with a musket yesterday, and that thing flew too high."

The newly promoted captain replied: "Maybe we can use cannons to raise the muzzle. I have observed carefully that the height of that thing should not exceed 200 meters."

"Very good! Then do it." Suvorov nodded with satisfaction and continued to say to the people around him: "What is observation? This is observation! A quick visual inspection was carried out to roughly determine the number and size of objects. When we see everything about the enemy clearly, then congratulate ourselves, we have won!"

Before dark, the four-point 8-pound gun team, led by the captain who was promoted, was dragged and pulled behind a chest wall, and raised the muzzle to 60 degrees, preparing to launch a sneak attack during the day the next day.

The problem is that the Russian army thought it was doing something without anyone noticing, but when the drone was conducting night reconnaissance, it was easy to discover this artillery position. The North Navy staff, who were already familiar with the type of Russian artillery, recognized from the screen that it was an 8-pound cannon with four muzzles raised high.

In the evening, when Fan Tong came back, he saw Zhao Xin standing in front of the tent and tracing in the distance. He hesitated for a moment, then walked over.

"Can't sleep?" Fan Tong asked.

"Yes, how to defend this land after thinking about it."

"Just be so confident that you can fight down?"

"I've been here for so long, have you seen that I've done something I'm not sure about?" Zhao Xin replied absent-mindedly. "The key to this battle is to compete with the Russians," he said again: "In this way, we can quickly take Irkutsk."

"So, if the queen sent someone to negotiate, what conditions would you give?"

"The Yenisei River must be used as the dividing line." Zhao Xin explained: "In fact, whether it is the current water transportation or the future Siberian railway, Irkutsk is a point that cannot be avoided."

Fan Tong said in surprise: "From what you mean, are you planning to build a railway?"

Zhao Xin nodded with certainty and said, "Yes, yes. It is definitely not possible to not build a railway. Whether it is population or materials, if it depends on the river alone, it can only have a five-month service period a year."

Fan Tong smiled and said, "I remember the textbooks used to say that wherever the imperialist-controlled railways were built, the claws of their invasion would extend."

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Your words are inherently wrong. Are we considered imperialism? If they do not invade, I will at most maintain the original territory."

Fan Tong suddenly remembered something and asked, "Hey? Li Bai's hometown, who is in the hands of the Sailye City now?"

Zhao Xin said: "The Qing Dynasty. From this point of view, the three generations of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong did a good job, but unfortunately the descendants were not successful."

"I didn't know before. It's been almost a year since I came, and many things have subverted my previous cognition." Fan Tong sighed. He was compassionate and decided to ask the last question before going to bed. "Can you kill less prisoners this time? After all, we are all educated modern people, and it's always bad to kill too many people."

"Xiao Fan, you have to understand that this is an era of iron and fire. Psychological sympathy for the invaders will only make them think that we are weak and can be bullied. I think those practices such as being generous to the invaders are really disgusting. One must be killed to warn a hundred, and the rest must be mined to build coal and build roads to atone for sins."

Zhao Xin continued: "Don't talk about humanitarianism. War is not a treat or a play after dinner, but a ugliest thing. If you dare to provoke a war, you have to bear the consequences of failure. Isn't tens of thousands of people gathered together just to massacre each other? Thousands of people were killed or beaten to become disabled, and the more people they killed, the more credit they made..."

"Stop, I'll just ask. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight if you say that." As the light and shadow of the campfire pounding, Fan Tong couldn't see whether the expression on Zhao Xin's face was vicious or calm.

"Oh, after fighting so many battles, I was a little excited at the beginning, but then I became a responsibility." Zhao Xin patted Fan Tong's shoulder and said, "It's time to rest, I should sleep."

Fan Tong returned to the tent, lay on the bed and tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep. When he closed his eyes and started snoring, he seemed to be a blonde girl waving to him in his dream...

On August 26, the Northern Navy's artillery position composed of five D30 long-range artillery was finally laid out, and the defensive positions built around the artillery position were basically completed.

Zhao Xin immediately ordered the troops on the south bank of Heilongjiang to cross Paiwo Island and advance towards Emulkaron to attract the attention of the Russian army. At the same time, various units of the Northern Navy entered the offensive starting position west of the camp one after another.

Suvorov ordered two cavalry regiments to move north of Yaksa City, with the purpose of circumcision through the woods to detour the positions of the Northern Navy. Although he now has a lot of troops, he also has many key points to defend, so he did not take the lead in launching an attack and would issue orders at any time depending on the enemy's actions.

For the 18,000 Russian troops, the magical name Suvorov alone made everyone excited.

Before the battle began, General Suvorov tried his last method. On August 26, he sent an envoy to send a letter of surrender to the frontier position of the Northern Navy. At this time, the rule of engagement in Europe was that the envoys could meet the other party's commander, but the Northern Navy obviously did not want to respect this. They just let the Russian envoys stay at a position two hundred outside the front of the position.

After receiving the letter, Zhao Xin felt it was really funny. The invaders actually advised the people who defended their homes to give up resisting surrender. What is the logic?

Then he replied to Suvorov with only one sentence: "Get out of Yaxa!"

Of course, Zhao Xin wanted to write more, so he hurt the other party through his words. However, his Russian level was limited, so he racked his brains and made it all over the place.

After reading the reply without wax seal, the messenger sent by Suvorov said to the officers of the Northern Navy: "The Amur River can stop flowing, the sky can collapse, and the Yaksas Fortress will never surrender."

When the messenger returned to report, Suvorov made the last pre-war mobilization: "One hundred years ago, we came to Yaxa twice and evacuated twice, and even signed an unequal treaty. Now it is the third time, we have no choice! Either keep here or sacrifice here. Indeed, the enemy's weapons are very advanced and we have great difficulties. But as Russian soldiers, we should not surrender in the face of any force! The Yaxa Fortress is very strong, our troops are twice as strong as the other side, and our army is equally powerful. I have been in the army for decades and have never retreated in front of any force. If we can defeat the enemy in front of us, the entire Heilongjiang River basin will return to the empire! The glory of God will always shine on this wild land!"

At the same time, Zhao Xin also made the first pre-war mobilization to the Jiuqianbei Navy through loudspeakers and radio stations set up on various positions. He said these words to all soldiers and officers, and also to himself.

"Before this battle, someone asked me why I had to keep the great mountains and rivers in the pass and go thousands of miles north to help the Qing Dynasty guard the country's gates? Why didn't I occupy the flower world in the south, but struggled here for several years? Brothers! Not to mention the distance, the Han people had already arrived at this land 375 years ago, with the inscriptions of stone tiles, which is proved by the Yongning Monument on the Triling Stone Rock.

The sky covers, the earth holds, the sun and the moon shine, the frost and dew fall, the white mountains and black waters, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. If we do not defend this land, we will be lost forever in a hundred years! If we do not fight today, whether it is the Han, Manchu, Hezhe, Feiyak, or even the Soren tribes, they will become slaves under the guns and cannons of foreign races, and they will face the massacre of foreign invaders!

Let those bullshit Western civilizations go to the devil! If we are rich, they will sell drugs to poison the people; if we are poor, they will ask us to cede land and pay compensation, which is called "concession". They are insatiable for the land, and even the white mountains and black waters of tens of thousands of miles cannot satisfy their greed. They destroy, massacre, steal but call it "bring civilization". They kill, set fire, rape, loot, and plunder the things left by our ancestors and become their collections, but in the end they have to buy it with our own money!

Opposite us are a group of foreign robbers who will never be satisfied with the land. This battle is not the end. After this battle, we will go all the way west and bring the war to the homes of the invaders.
