Although Li Zhuangyong was not very excited about this victory, he thought that he was a little unfair to defeat his opponent and company with his troops. However, three days later, Liu Tie led a large group of troops to Fuyuan and still highly praised Li Zhuangyong's performance.

In fact, in this season, being able to successfully lead the army to fight 300 kilometers is already a very outstanding performance. As for fighting with more, it is not a problem in Liu Tie's opinion. Who said that fighting with more and less can be defeated by the enemy with absolute advantage is a capable man. And as a senior officer of the People's Army, Liu Tie is very clear about the current situation. The Far East War has come to an end. It can be seen from the name of this war. Therefore, it is good to fight now. Those who are qualified to pick and choose. You must know how many troops are watching directly but cannot get on the battlefield.

Of course, taking Fuyuan is only the first step in this battle, and the next is the main target of this dispatch - Boli.

Boli, the Russian name is Khabarovsk, located on the east bank of the junction of the Ussuri River, and is across from Fuyuan. It turned out to be a territory belonging to the Qing court. In the Sino-Russia Beijing Treaty in 1860, it was ceded to Russia and was named after the leader of the Russian invasion of Heilongjiang in the 17th century. Russia called it the explorer Khabarov. Since Boli is the intersection of two major rivers in the northeast region, it can guard the estuary of the two rivers, and the geographical location is very superior. To the south can it can be from land to the Sea of ​​Japan and to the east can it reach the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. Therefore, it is an important city in Russia in the Far East and an important node on the Siberian Railway.

The People's Army rested in Fuyuan for 3 days. Liu Tie led the 1st Division to advance towards Boli, because the Russian general army had only two battalions of troops, and it was more than enough to dispatch one division to deal with them. Since Fuyuan was only about 60 kilometers away from Boli, it could travel on the frozen river throughout the journey. First enter the Heilongjiang River from the Ussuri River, which was called the Amur River in Russia, and it could be reached. This was very conducive to the operation of the People's Army marched all equipped with skis and sleds. Therefore, the People's Army only took one day to reach Boli City.

After decades of immigration and operation, Bobianji is now a city with a population of more than 100,000, including more than 20 towns. A European-style fortress and a large number of surrounding forts were built.

The news of Fuyuan's fall had reached Boli, and the guard general Makavic was also very shocked, because he did not expect that the People's Army would launch an attack on the Russian army in such an extremely harsh climate. In fact, Boli's fortifications were well built. After all, the geographical location here is too important, and it is also located at the border between China and Russia. But unfortunately, there are too few defenders now, with only one battalion and about 500 people, which are not enough to arrange them. Moreover, in such bad weather, the open-air turrets are covered with ice and snow. Of course, even if there is no ice and snow, the turrets cannot be used. Because there is no artillery, most of Boli's artillery has been transferred by the Russian army long ago, leaving no more than a few for Boli. Moreover, with the troops of the right Boli, it is not enough to dispatch troops to guard the turrets.

Although Major Makavic immediately sent a telegram for help to Chita, he himself had no hope for reinforcements, because Boli was too far away from Chita, more than 1,000 kilometers. Even if he was taking a train, it would take 2 days. In addition, it would take at least 10 days to reach Boli. This was the premise that Chita had enough spare time to reinforce Boli. Now Chita is also facing pressure from the People's Army, and I'm afraid it would not be possible to draw out many troops to reinforce Boli.

Sure enough, on the third day of the telegram, Major Makavic received a call from Chita, telling him that Chita is also facing the threat of the People's Army, so he has no ability to reinforce Boli, so he can only let the major find a way. Finally, he also said, wishing God be with you.

This result was also in Makavic's expectations, so he was not too disappointed. Moreover, despite the limited troops on hand, Major Makavic tried his best to arrange Boli's defense. The fortresses outside the fortress could only give up and concentrate their forces to guard the fortress. Fortunately, the fortresses are now covered with ice and snow. Even if the Russian army gave up, the People's Army would not use it. In addition, Makavic also believed that in such a climate, it would be very good that the people could have been able to reach Boli long ago, and it was basically impossible to carry a large number of artillery. If the Russian army could rely on the strong fortress defense, they would still have a chance to protect Boli. In such a harsh climate, the People's Army would not be able to siege Boli for a long time.

The People's Army obviously does not want to get too entangled with the Russian army. The climate of Bijing is too bad. In fact, it doesn't matter much, but camping in the wild is not easy. Therefore, it is best to capture Boli as soon as possible and spend the night in the town.

So the People's Army only rested for one night and launched an attack on Boli the next day. First of all, of course, it was to shell Boli. The People's Army's artillery troops set up mortars and launched a fierce shelling on Boli City.

Although the Russian army gave up the fortress outside the fortress, there is also a fully enclosed fortress with a stone structure as the main body. For such fortifications, the 60 mortar is basically useless. Only 80 and 100 caliber mortars can cause certain damage to such fortresses. Because of the power of the 100 mortar, the lethality is still quite considerable.

The People's Army's 80,100 caliber mortars totaled more than 100, and when they were all moved, their power was quite amazing. Therefore, the shells that spread everywhere shot towards the Russian army's fortress like raindrops, and the dense and uninterrupted explosions almost completely covered the fortress.

Even though it was hiding in a fortress made of thick stone, such dense artillery fire still made the Russian army in the fortress feel frightened, because the artillery fire was too fierce, and no one expected that the People's Army could carry so many artillery when launching an attack during this snowy and ice. How much manpower and material resources would be consumed? Just for the small city of Boli, is it worth the People's Army to invest such a large amount of capital?

Although Boli's fortress is mainly made of stone structure, it is not as strong and thick as some important fortresses. Moreover, Boli's fortress was built almost 40 years ago. With climate factors, the temperature difference in this area is extremely large every year. The maximum temperature can reach about minus 30 degrees Celsius in winter, and the high temperature in summer can rise to above 30 degrees Celsius. In this way, the alternation of heat and cold will cause great damage to the bricks and stones. Therefore, the fortress has actually been a bit weathered and dilapidated.

However, although Boli is located on the Sino-Russian border, due to the incompetence of the Qing court, Boli has never been under military threat. Moreover, although the fortress has been somewhat weathered and worn, it can be generally maintained, so Russia has no intention of repairing the fortress. At this time, the consequences of being neglected to eliminate it appear. Although the power of the mortar cannot be compared with field artillery or ** cannons of the same caliber, there are more shells falling, which causes qualitative change, and it still has a considerable lethality. Moreover, mortars are all large parabolas, so most shells are the top of the fortress, and the tops are often the weakest places of the fortress.

As a result, after a 20-minute shelling, the People's Army fired more than 3,000 shells at the Russian fortress and exploded 6 or 7 major gaps on the top of the fortress. The side walls of the fortress were also blown into thousands of holes, uneven. However, after all, it was mainly stone structure, and no side walls were penetrated, but it still caused nearly 200 Russian soldiers in the fortress to suffer casualties.

Liu Tie did not pursue the use of mortars to explode the fortress. He was already very satisfied with the achievement of such results, so he sent the People's Army to attack the fortress. So the People's Army's assault team launched an attack on the Russian fortress under the cover of the firepower of mortars and machine guns, and the blasting team launched a close blast on the fortress. After sacrificing two blasting groups, the third blasting team finally successfully blasted the fortress into a large gap. The commando immediately entered through the gap and launched a hand-to-hand combat with the Russian army. When the troops behind saw that the commando had succeeded, they all rushed out of their positions and rushed towards the fortress.

At this time, Major Makavic also knew that the Russian army had gone, but he did not have the determination to live and die with Boli, so he immediately ordered a retreat, intending to retreat to Amur City first.

The Russian army's active retreat made the People's Army's charge very smoothly. It almost successfully occupied the fortress without bloodshed, and the entire battle lasted less than 40 minutes.

After entering the fortress, Liu Tie immediately ordered the 2nd Division stationed in Fuyuan County to be transferred to Boli, leaving only one battalion to guard Fuyuan, and then left a regiment to guard the fortress, ordering the 2nd and 3rd regiments to attack, occupying the larger surrounding villages and towns, and looking for any remaining Russian soldiers.

Although Boli was Chinese territory for hundreds of years, under the rule of the Qing court, Boli was just an ordinary mountain village. Russia had been operating for more than 40 years before it developed Boli into a city. Therefore, Boli's architectural style was completely Russian, full of exotic atmosphere. The population was mainly Russian, accounting for 70-80% of the total population. In addition, there were also a small number of Han, Mongolian, Koreans, as well as ethnic minorities such as Hezhe, Dahaner, Oroqen, and most of the residents made a living by fishing and hunting, and they also cultivated some crops.

After the Russian army retreated, most of the villages and towns expressed their submission to the People's Army, and the People's Army also chose several large villages and towns, and sent one company or two companies to station. Of course, the Russians in the two villages were dissatisfied. Because there were many residents in this area and many civilian weapons, they actually wanted to argue with the People's Army. The People's Army was thinking of killing a chicken to establish its authority, and two chickens rushed out after a while. There was a reason to be unstoppable. First, they beat the two villages, and then forced all the villagers of the two villages, regardless of gender, age, and declared that the villagers of the two villages were sinners and were punished, and then set a fire to burn all the two villages.
