Chapter III Customs Clearance Action (3)

The vanguard was the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division, and the commander was Li Zhuangyong. After Jiang Haidong transferred to the Marine Corps, Li Zhuangyong became the number one general of the 1st Army and was also the only three naturalized soldiers in the People's Army Army who serve as regiment commanders.

This time, Liu Tie named the 1st Regiment to fight the vanguard, which actually made the 1st Regiment take on the task of attacking. After all, the Russian army to be dealt with this time was actually enough for the strength of this regiment. For this reason, Liu Tie also allocated 320 of the more than 400 sled dogs in his headquarters to the 1st Regiment, forming 40 medium-sized sled groups, and there were 20 large sled groups responsible for the accompanying transportation tasks, and a total of 20 tons of weight could be carried.

Since this time the troops were light and simple, except for the mortars, the artillery units of each unit were not dispatched. In fact, this regiment only dispatched about 2,500 people, while a division dispatched only more than 9,000 people, less than 10,000 people. There was a 20 tons load, plus the load of the soldiers. Since all the soldiers were skiing operations this time, this was much less labor-saving than walking, and each person's load could also be increased, which was enough to support the 1st Regiment's operations and operations for about 12 days.

In fact, the garrisons in the Northeast had been idle for more than half a year. During this half year, the People's Army launched the Nashna Islands Battle, the Taiwan Strait Battle, and landed in Japan, all of which achieved brilliant results, which also made the People's Army stationed in the Northeast have a lot of ideas. Bi Jing saw other troops winning battles and making contributions, but he could only do nothing, so he felt very uncomfortable. The troops in each war zone had some intention of competing with each other in secret. Many troops even asked the headquarters for battle and demanded to attack Chita, but of course they were rejected.

Now I finally have the opportunity to send troops to attack the Russian army. Although it was during this cold and cold season, all the troops that received the order to attack were very happy and had high morale. However, the troops that were not selected for combat this time were depressed and Yoo Yoo was not happy.

Li Zhuangyong was appointed as the vanguard, and he was like drinking nectar. After rectifying the team, he immediately led the troops to Fuyuan.

Fuyuan County is located at the intersection of Heilongjiang and the Ussuri River. It is a county town in the northeastern border area of ​​Heilongjiang Province. It usually takes 8-10 days of march, but since the whole regiment is skiing and nearly half of the journey is to slide along the frozen Ussuri River, the speed not only does not slow down, but also is faster than the general march. Finally, at noon on the 6th day, I arrived less than 10 kilometers away from Fuyuan County.

Because it was still early at this time, and during the snow and ice, the entire wilderness on both sides of the Ussuri River was almost empty, and even the whereabouts of birds and beasts could not be seen, Li Zhuangyong did not rush to command the People's Army to launch an attack on Yichun County. Instead, he found a leeward place on the bank of the river, shoveled snow walls, set up bunkers, and built a simple camp to hide horses, sled dogs, and sleds, then lit a kerosene stove and started to cook. At the same time, he sent a scout to Fuyuan City for reconnaissance.

After eating hot rice and hot dishes, feeding horses and sled dogs, and the scouts also came to repay him. Fuyuan City's defense was very relaxed, obviously not knowing that the People's Army had already touched him unknowingly.

Li Zhuangyong was also very happy when he heard this. The troops rested for a few hours, and the soldiers' physical strength had recovered a little. At this time, it was around 7 o'clock in the evening and the sky gradually became darker. Only then did Li Zhuangyong order to lead the first and second battalions to attack, capture Fuyuan City, and the third battalion remained behind the camp.

Although the sky was dark, the snow reflected the moonlight and starlight, and the visibility was good. Moreover, the scouts left signposts along the way, so they were not afraid of taking the wrong steps. The distance of 10 kilometers and the speed of skiing could be reached in an hour.

When the People's Army touched the south gate of Fuyuan City less than 500 meters, Li Zhuangyong took out his telescope and observed the city. Fuyuan was just a small county town, and the population in the city was only more than 10,000, so it was not large in scale. The city wall was very low, and several places had collapsed. However, the city tower was still good. Although the city gate was closed, there was no one on the city wall. Li Zhuangyong was also a little surprised. The Russian army was so careless that he didn't even leave a soldier who was watching at night?

In fact, although the Russian army stationed in Fuyuan did not expect that the People's Army would cross more than 300 kilometers at this time to attack Fuyuan, there were still basic defenses and also arranged soldiers who were watching the night. However, the soldiers who were watching the night were afraid of the cold and did not want to stay on the city wall to blow the cold wind. Therefore, they hid under the city and took shelter from the wind and burned the fire behind the city wall. Naturally, there was no one on the city wall.

Although Li Zhuangyong was a little surprised, he had learned before he set out that the number of Russian troops stationed in Fuyuan was not large, with only one company, about 130 people. Although Fuyuan City was not large, the length of the one-sided city wall was more than 100 meters. Therefore, even if the Russian troops stationed in the garrison were prepared, they were not enough to defend the entire Fuyuan City. Li Zhuangyong did not care much about these abnormal situations. So he immediately ordered the three companies of the 2nd Battalion to go to the east, west and north of Fuyuan City separately, and led the 1st Battalion to attack from the south gate.

20 minutes later, the people's army entered their respective positions, and Li Zhuangyong ordered the blasting team to attack and blast the city gate. Although several places in Fuyuan City had collapsed, it was not easy to climb because it was covered with ice and snow. Li Zhuangyong still decided to adopt the tactic of blasting the city gate.

The blasting group composed of three soldiers quietly touched the city gate with the blasting tube and set up the blasting tube. With a loud blast, the city gate was blown to pieces. Li Zhuangyong immediately led the soldiers to charge. At this time, the Russian soldiers who were watching at night did not understand what was going on. Several came to the city gate to observe, but were shot dead by the People's Army approaching the entrance of the city gate. Then the People's Army immediately rushed into Fuyuan City through the city gate.

After rushing into Fuyuan City, Li Zhuangyong immediately arranged a platoon to guard the city gates, and the other two platoons operated along the city wall to reinforce the army at the east and west gates. He led two companies to advance along the street like a city.

Although the People's Army did not have drawings of Fuyuan City, the county towns in China were similar in this era, and were basically arranged in square shapes. The cross streets in the city were connected to 4 gates and divided the city into 4 large blocks. The county government is located at the intersection of the city. As for the side, it varies from city to city. The army stationed in the city usually sets the command center in the county government, and even the generals' camps are located here. After all, the county town is so large, and there are not many places where they can garrison troops.

Li Zhuangyong's judgment was correct. After the Russian army occupied Fuyuan, he used the county government as the command and military camp of Fuyuan City. Anyway, there were only more than 100 people, which could not occupy much of the area. Therefore, Russian soldiers were also sent to guard the county government at the gate of the county government. However, the length and width of the entire Fuyuan City were only more than 100 meters, and the intersection was only more than 50 meters. Although it was at night, it was possible to see what was going on. So the Russian soldiers guarding at the gate of the county government hurriedly searched for cover to hide and shot at the People's Army.

However, how could only 4 or 5 Russian soldiers stop the People's Army's advance? So the People's Army soldiers shot and rushed forward while shooting. As a result, three Russian soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, while the other two Russian soldiers were stabbed to death by the People's Army soldiers who rushed in close proximity with bayonets.

It was not yet 9 o'clock at night, and there were still many Russian soldiers who had not fallen asleep. After hearing the explosion and gunshots outside, they knew that there was an enemy attack, so they hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed out of the county government to fight. As a result, they happened to encounter the People's Army that had reached the county government government, and the two sides immediately launched a hand-to-hand combat.

Now the People's Army's hand-to-hand combat skills and experience are not inferior to the Russian army, and they also have a clear advantage in terms of number of people. In addition, the Russian army did not expect the People's Army to attack Fuyuan, so they responded in a hasty manner, and their spirits and morale were not as good as the People's Army, so they naturally could not resist it. They were killed and retreated one after another. The People's Army took advantage of the opportunity to enter the county government, chased the defeated Russian soldiers, and went deep into the back hall of the county government government.

At this moment, the People's Army soldiers from other city gates also broke through the city walls, rushed into the city, and joined the county government, surrounding the county government. The Russian army gathered the last 5 and 60 people and defended the county government to resist stubbornly. Due to the narrow terrain in the county government, the People's Army's troops could not be fully deployed, so they attacked twice in a row, but could not break through the Russian defense line.

So the People's Army no longer rushed to attack, but occupied the bunker first, used firepower to suppress the Russian army, and then threw the Russian army. This time, the Russian army could not stand it. After the People's Army threw more than 10 hands in a row, the remaining Russian soldiers shouted "Surrender". Because they had fought with the Russian army for nearly two years, most of the People's Army soldiers could understand a few basic Russian words. Some smart soldiers also learned a few words, so they stopped shooting. The Russian-speaking soldiers shouted "Put down their weapons", "Raise their hands", "Get out", etc.

Not long after, the Russian soldiers raised their hands one by one, walked out from the bunker, and surrendered to the People's Army. The entire battle lasted in less than 30 minutes. The People's Army successfully occupied Fuyuan City. A total of 56 Russian soldiers were killed and 67 were captured. The People's Army only killed 6 people and injured 15 others. It can be said that they had won a beautiful victory.

However, Li Zhuangyong was not too excited. After all, there was only one company of the Russian army stationed in Fuyuan City, and the People's Army was surprised and caught the Russian army off guard. Such battles could almost be won with your eyes closed. Of course, there was nothing to be proud of.
