    At 8:19 on February 28, 1918, the white flag was finally raised on the bell tower on the top of the Ipgrotekovo station building, the tallest building in the town of Pogranicny in Primorsky Krai. At the same time, in  In the sight of Xu Changlin, the commander of the armored reconnaissance battalion of the 49th Brigade of the 17th Division of the Chinese Army, who was the pioneer of the entire army, through the telescope,

    In front of the station gate 2 kilometers away, a bunch of old Maozi merchants and townspeople seemed to be lining up in a chaotic manner to welcome the Chinese army into the town, while hundreds of Cossacks could be seen in the farther field of view, chaotically withdrawing from the bunkers.  Go lead the horse and seem ready to evacuate.

    Damn it!  Why don't we delay it for another 2 minutes? My cannons are all in vain. Xu Changlin, commander of the Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, murmured in his stomach while giving orders.

    "Inform the brigade commander that the town of Pogranicny has surrendered. Our troops will be stationed at the station in 10 minutes to take over the defense!" He waved his hand forward and ordered, "The artillery troops are on standby and are ready to respond at any time. The company will follow me."  !¡±

    A total of 10 wheeled armored vehicles from the Armored Reconnaissance Battalion Headquarters and the First Company began to move slowly, and soon dispersed into a three-way formation and drove towards the town along the road. The Ford 2.9-liter powerful engine rumbled, and the exhaust at the rear of the vehicle  A large white mist rose from the mouth.

    The merchants and residents in the town opposite were still bustling and chaotic and were still lining up. Many people were holding leaflets in their hands and making noises, but the Cossack cavalry had already formed a team and quickly disappeared at the corner of the street.

    When Xu Changlin and the First Company of his Armored Reconnaissance Battalion approached less than 500 meters from the town, a Cossack cavalryman wearing a black cloak rushed out of the crowd and shouted "Ula" and rushed towards the armored company's lead vehicle, holding a bright weapon in his hand.  The Cossack saber shouted, "Ula!!!" Behind them were the Russian residents who were stunned by this sudden turn of events.

    Wearing a mink robe, the mayor and station director Vasilyev stamped his feet and yelled something desperately behind him.

    "This Cossack is crazy, charging at us alone?! Battalion Commander, do you want to shoot?!" Xu Changlin's correspondent Xu Xiaoge asked for instructions while holding the M1 Garand in his hand and aiming at the opponent's man and horse.

    Before Xu Changlin could say anything, clear gunshots were heard from the armored reconnaissance battalion's lead vehicle. The knights on the opposite side were thrown out on the road, including man and horse. One man and one horse lay in the middle of the road, and the knight's open cloak looked like a flower.  Black tulips withered just after they bloomed.

    "Mom! Who fired the gun! You have lost all my men, but an armored company is afraid of a saber?!" Xu Changlin's teeth itched with hatred. The guy opened the roof of the armored vehicle and leaned out to shout.  road!

    The armored vehicle leading from the front accelerated and stopped on the roadside in front. Xu Dabang, the commander of the first armored company, led his men and jumped out of the back door of the carriage, while complaining to the soldiers beside him,

    "You bastard, I asked you to beat a horse, but why did you kill someone? Go and see if you are still alive!" This guy kicked the soldier next to him who was holding an M1 Garand, and turned his head.  He shouted his grievances to his battalion commander behind him, "Battal Commander! We are here to beat horses, and we don't want to meow people! This old guy is too inexperienced! Don't blame us!"

    Xu Changlin¡¯s command car here has already accelerated to overtake and catch up. From the car, Battalion Commander Xu Da waved his hand and shouted to the car behind him, ¡°Be careful!¡±

    After Xu Changlin shouted, he jumped out of the car and came to his first company commander. At this moment, a bus carrying infantrymen who got off the lead car had already spread out into a circle of skirmishers and was on alert in the direction of the town!

    "Company commander! This guy is not dead, he is still a lieutenant colonel! He fell unconscious and, let me tell you, what I shot was obviously a horse!" The young man carrying the M1 Garand sniper rifle with a scope  The soldier found the fallen knight lying on the ground. Although he had fainted, there were no bullet holes in his body, so he had obviously fallen unconscious.

    Xu Changlin glared at the company commander, then rushed to the Cossack knight on the ground and took a look. The Cossack lying on the ground had his eyes closed, frost on his long beard, but his chest was constantly heaving, and the saber in his hand was  Then he fell a few meters away, with the pistol still in the holster on his waist. Then he looked at the Don hippopotamus a few steps away. Blood was pouring from a gun hole on its forehead. The horse was obviously dead and could not die again.  Got it!

    "Remove his gun and ask the health worker to take a look at him. Treat him as needed. When he wakes up, he will be detained. If he is dead, set up a monument for him here. If he is not dead, tell him the same as the captured Cossack before.  The squad is locked together! Damn it, a man dares to charge at me!" Xu Changlin grinned, and a communications vehicle modified from a Ford T-type car rushed over. Zhang Gazi, the commander of the brigade headquarters, looked over the car.  Holding his head and shouting:

    "Battalion Commander Xu! The brigade commander gives you five minutes to capture the town, otherwise he will ask me to ask you if you, the battalion commander, still want to do this, and say grinding and grinding is the style of our old Sixth Brigade!"

    "The whole battalion! Battle formation! Towards the town! Forward!" Xu Changlin held back his anger and shouted at his soldiers around him!

      The story of Alexei Jr., a lieutenant colonel of the Tsarist Russian cavalry and commander of the Cossack Don River Cavalry Battalion in the Far East Military Region, who charged against the "invading" squadron armored force alone, became a favorite story for some time to come.  topic, most people said he was crazy, and many people thought Alexey was a good guy!

    Of course, this is all a story later. The awakened Lieutenant Colonel Alexey and the first batch of captured sentries from the Cossack Battalion became the first batch of prisoners on the Eastern Front battlefield of the Chinese participating armies.

    To say that his deputy battalion commander Dimitri was a pretty good officer, although the battalion commander's order was to lead the entire battalion to evacuate to Khabarovsk, this guy had an extra thought. Since the Chinese ** team had already  A large-scale attack, who knows if they have divided their forces into two routes, one south and one north, to seize the back roads of the town. At this time, whether heading north to Khabarovsk or south to Shuangchengzi, the danger is far greater than heading east!

    The Cossack cavalry battalion left the town eastward and reached the three-way intersection. This guy did not go north or south. Instead, he left the road and continued eastward, rushing eastward along the frozen river bed. Xu Changlin actually made Xu Changlin rush from the north to the south.  The two armored companies that outflanked both came to nothing.

    However, such a small Cossack battalion was not in the eyes of brigade commander Zhang Zhijiang. After successfully capturing the town of Pogranicny, the 49th Brigade, which took the lead, accelerated its march. The Xu Changlin Armored Reconnaissance Battalion at the forefront of the brigade brought along  With the town mayor and station director Vasilyev in a mink robe as a guide, the 7th Brigade advanced all the way south and successively occupied Lipovtsi, Vladimirovka, Camuenki, May Day Town,  Steprona and other villages and towns.

    It is true to say that the Far East is vast and rich in resources. Because there were no Tsarist Russian troops stationed along the way, the 7th Brigade advanced very quickly. By the evening, the leading armored reconnaissance battalion had advanced 140 kilometers in one day, and was in a small town 20 kilometers northeast of Shuangchengzi.  Stopped on the town of Bosbiceco.

    After occupying the town and station, battalion commander Xu Changlin sent people to send out guard posts in the direction of Shuangchengzi while setting up positions. Two hours later, the three infantry regiments of the 49th Brigade were riding on a troop train along the  The China Eastern Railway branch line drove all the way into the small station.

    "Brigadier! Let me tell you, we can rush all the way to Shuangchengzi by train, why stop here and delay things! Our regiment's attack by train is no slower than Xu Changlin's armored battalion!"

    The speaker was Zhang Zhijiang¡¯s commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the 49th Brigade. He was Zhang Zhijiang¡¯s cousin. He graduated from the third infantry course of the Baoding Military Academy. Unlike his cousin, who graduated from the Pheasant School of the Northeast Army Lecture Hall, he was a serious graduate of the Baoding course.  , a full ten years younger than Zhang Zhijiang. He joined the teaching regiment last year and has been promoted from company commander and battalion commander to the current regiment commander. He is very good at leading troops!

    "Tch, I stopped here just to carry out what the supervisor said and to uprightly carry forward the demeanor of my participating army as a king's division! Why are you in such a hurry? Do you want me to ask the supervisor to use v/1500 to parachute your regiment headquarters to Vladivostok?  Hand over Lao Maozi's gun?" Zhang Zhijiang lectured his cousin, but in his heart he was even more anxious than Zhang Zhihai, but he just refused to show it!

    "Brigadier, you think I don't dare. As long as you dare to give the order, there is no need to fly. Our group dares to take the train all the way to Vladivostok for you! It's only 200 kilometers away, and the train will arrive in the middle of the night!" Zhang Zhihai said  Just start asking for a fight!
