Chapter 1: The storm of the turmoil of Sakhalin Island 4

Tchaikovsky stared at a lookout in anger at the distance flashing fire. It was the light left by the moment when the heavy artillery fired shells at night. The sky in the distance also brightened, and the afterimage of the nearby pine trees was still portrayed in Tchaikovs' mind after the light passed. Before Tchaikovs could calm down, another shell lit up the red sky in the distance. The simple double-layer wooden wall of the mother and son turned into the remaining cakes after the dog bites in this continuous bombardment. Explosive flames flashed from time to time behind the uneven and curved walls. The church and houses in the town ignited, and the crowds running around in the flames screamed in horror.

"No, this damn ***!" Tchaikovs roared and strode down the ground from the wooden stairs at the lookout entrance.

Just as Tchaikovsky left the watchtower, the wooden tower fell in response to the cannons. The huge air wave mixed with flames rolled up a cold wind behind Tchaikovsky. Tchaikovsky ignored all the chaos and shouted: "Cossack warriors, get on the horse! Come with me to kill the artillery soldiers and blow off the artillery of the Braided Army. Get on the horse!"

Tchaikovs turned over his black Don hippo. A large number of Cossack cavalry gathered around Tchaikovsky, and they responded loudly to Tchaikovsky's shouts.

The cry of "Kill ***" kept echoing over the Mother and Moon. As the crying was dark, the Cossack cavalry rushed out of the city wall and rushed towards the artillery position of the Central *** team in the dark.

Speaking of this, I have to remind you. Don’t misunderstand that this person is Tchaikovsky, a musician who was born in 1840. Perhaps there is no connection between the two. The current Tchaikovsky is an officer of the Tsar’s embassy in China and a Cossack officer. Tchaikovsky’s hometown is in the Don River, but his time in the Don River was only a short childhood. At the age of thirteen, Tchaikovsky followed the Cossack army to fight south and north, leaving behind the footprints of the Tchaikovsky’s base from the frozen wastelands of the Kamchatka Peninsula to the hot deserts of Turkey. After attending the unpleasant Russian-China meeting in Beijing, China that day, Tchaikovsky left Beijing and went to the severely cold Yakutsk.

The sound of wind was ringing in Tchaikovs' ears, although there was no moon tonight. But the sky was vaguely visible.

On the flat snow field outside Zimubo City, a large group of cavalry rushed past, and the sound of iron hooves rumbled in the darkness.

Tchaikovs' blood was cooling down in the cold wind, and he couldn't help but recall the war these days.

The rough snowy town of Yakutsk is the Russian fur and timber distribution center in the Far East, and is also the residence of the Yakutsk Governor's Office. The building of the Governor's Office is a square and large building. Shortly after Tchaikovs arrived here, he was involved in the dispute between the Governor Ratmirov and the Cossack Far East Gregory.

Regarding the situation where the Chinese might attack Sakhalin Island. Ratmirov believes that it is necessary to abide by the Treaty of Nebchu to withdraw from Sakhalin Island, and there is no need to have a war with China. Ratmirov clearly knows in his heart that the Far East is just a place to acquire fur and exile prisoners in Nicholas I's mind. Will Emperor Nikolai send troops here in such a place? This is worth Ratmirov's doubt. Besides, even if Emperor Nikolai is willing to send troops to the Far East, the journey takes half a year, and it is even more difficult to walk in winter. Ratmirov's secretly has a selfish intention. He does not want to throw his life in the Far East far away from Moscow. In the monastery of Moscow, Ratmirov's wife and children are still waiting for him to go back.

Unlike Ratmirov's view, Gregory believed that the Cossacks, who had hundreds of people in the Battle of Jakarta, defended the attack of tens of thousands of Chinese. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese was simply vulnerable. Gregory firmly demanded that a battle. If the Chinese defeated the Chinese in one fell swoop, they could also seize the land north of Heilongjiang. Under Gregory's insistence, Ratmirov agreed that Gregory led the Cossacks alone to participate in the operation.

Tchaikovsky's blood flowed from the Cossack battle, and he firmly supported the Gregorian decision. With the gathering of three thousand Cossacks from the Far East, they came to Sakhalin Island (Sakhalin Island) by boat from Okhotsk.

The commander-in-chief of this battle was a Cossack commander admired by Tchaikovsky. During a battle, this man was blinded by the charge team, but he still fought tenaciously until the last moment. Because his bravery inspired the Cossacks who were traveling with him to be stubborn, Cossack won the battle, and later people called him the one-eyed bear. Cossack's fighting style was not used to defense. Tchaikovsky, who had just arrived on the island, was sent by the one-eyed wolf to attack the ** team on the other side.

Although Tchaikovsky was brave and not reckless, because there were a large number of Chinese teams around the temple, he set his target on several small Hezhe people's bases a little farther away. The first attack on Tchaikovsky was indeed successful, but the bases of these Hezhe people did not have much oil except for some fur.

The gunshots around him pulled Tchaikovsky's thoughts back. He had led thousands of Cossacks into the Chinese positions. These Chinese soldiers could not see clearly in the dark. The random bullets were flying through the air, and the shooting accuracy of the Cossack soldiers who were moving forward were extremely poor. Of course, there were also some bad luck that the Cossack encountered the bullets.

Tchaikovsky pressed his body against the horse's neck. Although this way of moving forward slowed down a little, it made Tchaikovsky much safer.

The gunshots around stopped, and horse neighing came not far away. It seemed that the Chinese cavalry were coming to block the attack. This reminded Tchaikovsky of the Chinese cavalry he encountered during the second attack at Miaotun.

It was also a dark night that day, and the Cossacks of a 100-man team led by him met the Chinese cavalry who ambushed them.

Tchaikovsky rushed forward, and the saber in his hand slashed at a black shadow without hesitation. As the saber was in the flesh, Tchaikovsky heard a scream.

Immediately afterwards, Tchaikovsky felt a huge pain on his shoulder, and the pain interrupted Tchaikovsky's memories. He had almost instinctively started the battle. The dark shadows swayed on the battlefield, the neighing of horses, the collision of weapons, and the shouts were intertwined. This was another tragic night battle. In addition to Tchaikovsky's thoughts, the two sides were reciprocating each other with their lives.
