Rebirth of the Qing Empire

On the afternoon of July 16, after several small-scale rehearsals of beating, smashing, and robbing the Qing expatriates, the Russian Hailanpao authorities launched a large-scale conspiracy to deliberately persecute the Qing expatriates.

A large number of Russian gangsters, armed with guns, axes, bayonets, whips and other weapons, broke into the houses or shops of Qing expatriates, robbed all their belongings, took away all men, women, and children, and drove them to the Heilongjiang River, where they were whipped and chopped with axes.

, slashed with knives and even shot, forcing these poor unarmed Qing expatriates to jump into the rolling Heilongjiang River, watching a massacre about to happen. Several impatient guards and soldiers could no longer bear it, and started shouting

Shout quietly.

"Principal, why don't you hit me?!"

Kang Fan is waiting for that call sign. If the call sign doesn't come, he won't be able to fire at will, otherwise he won't be able to wipe out all these Russian gangsters. As long as one person is left alive, it will leave an excuse for the Russian government. In that case, what happens next

Things will become difficult to handle.

"Principal, Zhong Kui!" the radio operator suddenly announced loudly and excitedly.

Kang Fan suddenly jumped up from his hiding place and shouted at the crowd dozens of meters away: "All Qing expatriates, get down! Get down!" Before he finished speaking, the Type 88 sniper rifle in his hand fired the first shot.

A 5.8mm caliber heavy bullet.

A Russian gangster in the crowd who was about to raise his gun to shoot was immediately beaten to pieces. His tall body fell to the ground with a crash, and the rifle in his hand was thrown far away.

In the blink of an eye, several other Type 96 sniper rifles in the guard camp opened fire almost simultaneously. With the crisp sound of gunfire, the Russian gangsters holding guns in their hands were knocked to the ground one after another.

Hearing the familiar Chinese language, a few of the Qing expatriates who had touched the cold arms of the God of Death reacted quickly and fell to the ground immediately. Others also realized what they were saying, and for a while, a dense crowd formed.

Fall down.

As a result, the figures of Russian gangsters who could not understand Chinese among the Qing expatriates suddenly became as conspicuous as the exposed rocks on the beach after the tide receded.

Six Type 96 general-purpose machine guns took this opportunity to fire violently, and the fiery barrage swept past the bodies of the Qing expatriates.

The Russian gangsters were stunned by this sudden blow, and saw themselves being penetrated by 7.62mm bullets. The gangsters who realized what they were doing couldn't escape, and their heads were smashed one by one by sniper rifles. Blood suddenly flowed on the river bank!

After clearing out the Russian gangsters who were lagging behind, Captain Li and his special forces stopped on the spot outside Hailanpao City to cover the evacuation of Kangfan's expatriates. They disguised themselves as ordinary people and lurked in various places in the city.

Agents from the local security bureau were wreaking havoc throughout the city of Hailanpao, creating the illusion of fierce resistance by the Qing expatriates in order to deceive the Russian authorities.

For a time, this Russian border city, which had been rapidly declining due to the departure of a large number of Qing expatriates, suddenly became bustling. Everywhere was full of chickens and dogs, ghosts crying and wolf howling, gunfire and explosions, and thick smoke and fire everywhere. It can be described as hell.

It should be perfect. This scene is what the local Russian government officials are happy to see, but they never dreamed that the people who created this scene were not the local gangsters under their command, but a group of agents of the Qing Empire!

Huifeng sized up the situation and led the speedboat fleet to the shore in time. Several speedboats raced against time to salvage the people who had been forced into the water in Heilongjiang and rescued the injured on the shore. Most of the remaining speedboats had their hatches wide open, and a large number of people were busy picking up and dropping off.

The overseas Chinese who had originally planned to give up the opportunity to return home had only one thought at this time: to escape. Even the belongings scattered on the river bank and within easy reach were ignored.

"Help them bring these with them. After all, it is their years of hard work." Kang Fan said to Huifeng.

Huifeng ordered the soldiers to pick up the things on the ground and load them into boats to transport them away. He said: "Be sure to pick them up and don't leave anything for the Russians."

At this time, gunshots and explosions were still happening in Hailanpao City. Kang Fan anxiously watched with a telescope.

"Inform them to close it when they are ready." After Kang Fan said to the radio operator, he turned to the officers and soldiers of the guard camp: "Clean up the battlefield, destroy all evidence on the spot, and prepare to evacuate."

At dusk, after the truth of the incident was understood, the Russian regular army, which was ordered to rush in for reinforcements, was blocked by the special forces by virtue of the favorable terrain, and the fierce battle continued until midnight.

Several detachments of the special forces responsible for this blocking mission were equipped with a large number of machine guns, grenades, 82 recoilless rifles and 82 mortars, and prepared sufficient ammunition. With the help of pre-constructed fortifications, they took advantage of superior firepower to provide

The Russian regular army suffered heavy casualties. Then, following Kang Fan's order, they covered each other and all withdrew back to Aihun, bringing back the bodies of their fallen companions with them.

The chasing Russian troops caught nothing. On the river bank, except for the corpses of the Russian gangsters and large blood stains here and there, there was nothing of value. Looking at the other side, in the dark night

, the brightly lit Aihui City is warm and gorgeous.

A Russian officer muttered something and fired randomly in the direction of Aihun City.

Kang Fan clearly aimed at this troublesome guy through the low-light night vision scope of the Type 88 sniper rifle. Shooting at night, the distance was more than 250 meters, which was close to the ultimate night vision range of the scope. Although there was no complete

He was sure to hit the target, but when the opportunity to shoot came, Kang Fan still did not hesitate and pulled the trigger decisively.

The Russian officer fell down with the sound of the gunshot and became motionless.

"Good. In good condition." Kang Fan muttered in his heart.

The sound of gunfire caused chaos in the Russian army. In the dark night, the panicked Russian officers and soldiers fired blindly and almost wildly. There was even a Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun that fired ferociously. But in addition to

Apart from wasting ammunition and creating some momentum, it will have no other effect.

Kang Fan approached to a distance of 200 meters, constantly changing the shooting position, and fired the remaining 9 bullets in the magazine.

The fighting will of this Russian army was completely defeated, and within a short time, no one of the hundreds of people alive was left alive.

Kang Fan then lay down on his back on the soft grass, breathing in the refreshing summer night wind and relaxing his tight muscles.

Captain Li tugged at him and whispered: "Principal, there is nothing here. Let's cross the river."

Kang Fan did not move and replied: "I know."

"Thank you, principal, for covering our retreat." Captain Li seemed to have a donkey dung egg in his mouth when he said this.

Kang Fan pointed the gun at him, saw the expression on his face clearly through the scope, and couldn't help but smile, "Old Li, you don't have to talk to me with this expression."

Captain Li was confused and asked: "What expression?"

"Just like you just now." Kang Fan replied.

Captain Li persisted, "Then what was my expression just now?"

Kang Fan wanted to laugh, but he tried his best to hold it back, "It's better to say thank you with the expression you just had than not saying it... If you don't know how to say thank you, just don't say it. It will make you feel awkward and I will feel awkward too."

Captain Li fell silent.

After Kang Fan and Captain Li returned from crossing the river, a large number of people gathered at Aihui Pier to welcome them. All of a sudden, the entire Aihui Pier was boiling with laughter, gongs and drums, singing and dancing, and firecrackers blasting. It was so lively!

This rescue operation caused a huge sensation in the local area. For the first time, the people felt that the country valued them and the significance of the country's existence to individuals, which then evolved into a strong cohesion and centripetal force, bursting out with high patriotic enthusiasm.

Once the matter spread, it didn't take long for the people of the Qing Dynasty in the mainland to know about it, and their reaction was as enthusiastic as the people in the Aihui area. The first telegram Kang Fan received was from Zhu Di, from Mei Xiang.

Telegrams followed soon after, and then from the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Judy wrote: Not only are you willing to lay down your life for me, you are also willing to lay down your life for your people. But how many lives do you have?

Mei Xiang wrote: My only hope now is to plead with God to let us return to our time immediately.

Cixi wrote: What you are doing is too reckless. Although I do not agree with it, if the Russians want to start a war, I will happily respond and gather the strength of the whole country to die with them. I will never compromise or give in and repeat the mistakes of the Sino-Japanese War!

"What did the Queen Mother say?" Shoushan asked anxiously.

Kang Fan handed him the telegram, "Brother, read it yourself."

Shoushan was happy after reading it, "It's so good, so good!"

Kang Fan smiled and said: "The old lady is stiff."

Subsequently, Shoushan ordered all the Heilongjiang garrison to enter a state of combat readiness, greatly increasing the patrol force on the border, extending the patrol time, and expanding the patrol area. Various combat resources mobilized from Shanxi were continuously transported into Heilongjiang. Commander Zhou's mechanization

The regiment moved forward quickly and was the first organized unit of the Jin army to arrive, showing its strong and rapid maneuverability.

Kang Fan was very happy and said to Commander Zhou: "You take a plane to conduct reconnaissance in the border area, familiarize yourself with the terrain, and learn about the deployment of the Russian army."

Taiyuan Aircraft Factory has accumulated a lot of valuable experience through the production of agricultural aircraft. After continuous improvement and improvement of the basic model, the later mass production models of this type of aircraft have become very mature, and the production quantity has gradually increased. So here

The aircraft was modified on the basis of a new type of aircraft. The pesticide box behind the driver's seat was removed, and an observer seat and a radio transmitter were added to prepare for military missions such as reconnaissance, artillery calibration, communication relay, and command. Preliminary modification

The two completed aircraft of this type were flown by pilots drawn from the Ningwu Air Base, while professional sergeants were selected from the Jin army as random observers. They can now be used to carry out military reconnaissance missions along the long Heilongjiang coast.

"Principal, then I can go up to the sky and have a look this time." Captain Zhou said excitedly.

Kang Fan smiled and said: "Don't get too excited and forget your responsibilities. I want your information."

"Understood." Captain Zhou took the order and left.

A few days later, Donovan also arrived in Aihun.

"Isn't it a little reckless of you to do this? The conflict with the Japanese has just subsided, so why are you provoking the Russians again?" Donovan looked anxious.

Kang Fan smiled and said, "It's the Russians who provoke us."

Donovan shook his head helplessly and asked, "What is Cixi's attitude?"

"The main battle." Kang Fan replied.

Donovan was surprised, "This is not common sense."

Kang Fan said: "I think so too. But it's true."

Donovan asked: "Then what are your plans? Are you going to fight to the end?"

"That depends on the attitude of the Russians." Kang Fan said: "The Empress Dowager Cixi has notified the Russian Ambassador that the Russian Amur authorities ignored international justice and persecuted the Qing expatriates living in Hailanpao, the capital of Amur Province, causing harm to our personnel

, lodged solemn representations regarding the huge loss of property. The Russian side shall bear full responsibility for this incident. Before the Russian side provides a reasonable explanation for the matter and actively handles the aftermath, the Qing government will take back what Russia has already obtained in the Qing Empire.

All privileges, restrictions on the movement of Russian personnel within the Qing Empire, freezing of all Russian assets in the Qing Empire, and severing of diplomatic relations."

Donovan smiled and pointed at Kang Fan, "You're a good boy who gets the advantage and behaves well at the same time!"

Kang Fan smiled and said: "It was the Russians who were unreasonable first."

"People from the U.S. Embassy told me: Nie Shicheng's armed guards have begun operations in Tianjin, and the Russians in your country are all panic-stricken," Donovan said.

Kang Fan said: "As soon as Nie's army comes out, the Russians will suffer." After saying that, he was secretly happy: Tianjin has Nie Shicheng to help him, so he can rest assured. Then he will have no worries in Heilongjiang. He immediately called Nie Shicheng.

: Our Tianjin garrison is following Nie's army and is planning to join forces to fight. Nie Shicheng replied: That's very good. Mr. Kang does not need to worry too much about Tianjin. He and General Shoushan are paying attention to the defense of the Heilongjiang border and are waiting for good news.

Donovan said: "Russia is unreasonable and cannot get support from the international community. What's more, your country is determined and fully mobilized from top to bottom this time. I don't think they dare to act rashly this time."

"That's best." Kang Fan said.

Since the Empress Dowager Cixi personally appointed General Shoushan to be the commander of the garrison in the Northeast, he could mobilize the Qing garrison in the entire Northeast. She also issued a special decree to strictly order Jilin General Changshun and Shengjing General Zengqi to obey orders and not have two minds. How dare Changshun and Zengqi

They slacked off, mobilized extensively, mobilized troops and generals, and gathered in Aihui to discuss the war. For a time, hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in the entire Northeast region were sharpening their swords, murderous, and the momentum of a war was rising.

Under Judy's lobbying, the U.S. government initiated the alliance with Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria and other Western countries to strongly condemn Russia's barbaric behavior and stand morally on the side of the Qing Empire. Japan was worried

Russia took this opportunity to launch a war to monopolize the northeastern region of the Qing Empire, which directly threatened its long-term plan to pre-occupy this region. In order to contain Russia, it also openly responded to the United States, Britain and other countries. In this way, the Qing government gained

Extensive international support.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Russian government took the initiative to show its goodwill to the Qing Empire in order to calm the situation as soon as possible and restore the original relationship between the two countries. Empress Dowager Cixi accepted it.

A few weeks later, border trade activities along the Heilongjiang River returned to normal.
