After fighting with Fengjun for more than a day, more than 700 Russian soldiers died. If the wounded were included, more than a thousand had lost their combat effectiveness. What was even more terrible was that Fengjun's heavy artillery suddenly became powerful.
More than twenty artillery pieces were destroyed, and more than one-third of the combat effectiveness of the Russian artillery was wiped out.
After Constantine received the report, he sat blankly in front of his desk for three full minutes without saying a word. He was already shocked by the result. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces attacked Beijing and marched straight into China, only 100,000 people died in the battle.
There were only a few dozen people, less than a fraction of what they are now.
Judging from Feng Jun's performance, Constantine couldn't help but think of the Russo-Japanese War. It was a painful experience for the Russians. The majestic Tsarist Russia lost to a yellow country and became the laughing stock of the Western world. And now
At that time, another powerful army appeared among the yellow people. Although the Fengjun in front of us was still very weak, there was a big difference between the Fengjun and the Japanese army.
The Japanese are more crazy and irrational, relying on piles of lives to win victory, while Fengjun is very cautious and cunning. Constantine knows very well that the sacrifices made by Fengjun today are far less than those of the Russians.
, although this reality is difficult to accept, he also knows that it is an out-and-out reality.
He personally went to the front line to inspect. The miserable appearance of the Russian artillery positions was like the legendary hell. Once you take a look at it, you will never forget it. Broken limbs are all over the ground, and there are fragments of artillery shells in the soil. Many of the fragments are on
All soaked in blood.
Constantine suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something under his feet. He exerted a little force, and the thing broke, a bit like grape grains. He lowered his head suddenly, and saw an eyeball under his feet. He had given it to him.
It was crushed underfoot, and the transparent liquid inside had already covered one's feet.
Less than twenty centimeters in front of the foot, there was a claw full of blood, which was making a struggling movement. At this moment, this palm left its owner forever. Constantine also
After a war, he had rarely seen such a miserable situation. It was almost the same as the battlefields in Europe. He did not expect that Fengjun's firepower would be so powerful. It was simply unimaginable.
The tragic loss made Constantine heartbroken. However, there is some consolation. The Russian army is not without success. They have already broken through the first line of defense. As long as they work harder, they can penetrate Fengjun's defense line.
.By that time, damn Fengjun will become a piece of meat on the chopping board.
Constantine kept telling himself this. Victory would definitely belong to Russia. After the army took a short rest, the Russian army launched another fierce attack. The cry of Ula sounded again in the wilderness, and the gray animals rushed towards Feng Jun.
past.
After retreating to the second line of defense, the Fengjun army had stronger troops and more sufficient firepower. The long, medium and short-range firepower formed a dense network, which could deal a fatal blow to the Russian army. In addition, the Fengjun army also invested a lot in defense fortifications.
With great effort, battlefield experience proves that the 76mm mountain cannon can only create a pit more than one meter deep, and even in soft soil, it will not exceed two meters.
The crater of a 122mm artillery shell is about four to five meters. In other words, if the Feng army builds a shell-proof tunnel about ten meters deep and covers it with seven or eight meters of soil, it can completely prevent the Russian artillery bombardment.
Therefore, Fengjun reinforced all the anti-gun holes on the second front line.
The large cat-ear holes should be ten meters deep, and the small ones should be more than five meters deep, so that the Russian artillery shells cannot hurt the Fengjun soldiers. There is a small stone mountain in the middle of the second line of defense.
It is only twenty or thirty meters high. It is said to be a mountain, but more like a huge stone.
When arranging fortifications, one must make good use of the natural terrain. This small stone mountain was fully utilized by Fengjun. Three layers of firepower points were set up from top to bottom. Moreover, Fengjun also used the little cement he had on this stone mountain.
.Since the construction of the North Market, Fengtian's demand for cement has been astonishing. The cement plant has expanded several times, but its production capacity is still far from keeping up with the demand.
After the war started, Zhang Tinglan also transferred some cement from Fengtian. However, due to the limited railway transportation capacity, only more than 500 tons were transported. In order to strengthen this stone mountain, more than 200 tons were invested at once and more than a dozen were built.
The solid reinforced concrete bunker is perfectly integrated with the rocks, which can greatly improve the survivability.
Many trenches and tunnels were dug around the stone to transport ammunition. After some painstaking design, it was almost built into an invulnerable fortress and became the core hub of the second line of defense.
Soon the Russians came over and they were getting closer and closer to the Fengjun position, and soon they were within the range of the machine guns. From top to bottom of the stone mountain, all the firepower points suddenly opened up, and suddenly it became
Like a fire hedgehog, every shooting position has been carefully calculated. All the machine guns are combined together to form a dense firepower network. There are no blind spots within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area. As long as you dare to rush in,
You have to be prepared to be beaten into a sieve.
This time, it was Russia's most elite force who led the charge. They successfully captured Fengjun's first line of defense. Just when their confidence was swelled, they wanted to go all out and penetrate Fengjun's position, but they didn't know that they would hit it all at once.
On top of the iron plate.
In an instant, dozens of people were swept away by machine guns. Others were lying on the ground, not daring to move. Fengjun not only had machine guns, but also mortars. Fengjun's latest 82mm mortar also arrived.
When he showed off his power, although it was already impossible to hit him accurately from five to six hundred meters away, it didn't matter much. Feng Jun's hit was all about killing and wounding.
After the artillery basically determined the direction, they continued to fire the shells one after another. Mortars are indeed a poor man's weapon. All other shells must use copper, but mortars only need to use cast iron. Fengjun has already
It can be produced in large quantities, so you don’t have to worry about using it.
The artillery shells hit the Russians' heads as if they were free. Now the Russians suffered a lot. Under the fierce attack of the Feng army, the casualties were very heavy. Of course, the Russians gradually learned to be smart, and they took the initiative to avoid them.
They attacked this huge fortress group and turned to attack the weak positions on both sides, trying to break through in a roundabout way.
However, this is obviously their delusion. The Fengjun army has been fully prepared, and a large number of troops have been deployed on both sides to stand ready. Zhang Tingshu was also in the trenches, like all the Fengjun soldiers. He held a water rifle in his hand and aimed at those
The rushing Russians.
Zhang Tingshu's rifle looks no different from that of an ordinary soldier, but its barrel and parts are carefully selected. As Zhang Tinglan's brother, he still has this privilege, and Zhang Tingshu himself has very good marksmanship.
With experience on the battlefield, the progress is even more amazing.
Gradually, the Russians rushed over, and Zhang Tingshu was also trying to find the most suitable target. Gradually, a guy who looked like an officer fell into Zhang Tingshu's sight. This guy was very cunning, and he kept doing things while running.
With various evasive actions, there was no opportunity to aim.
Zhang Tingshu wanted to shoot several times, but this guy avoided him in advance. The second young master could only be patient, and the guy suddenly rolled behind a stone. Zhang Tingshu immediately felt that the opportunity had come.
He aimed at the direction where this guy might rush out. When he saw the figure flashing, he suddenly pulled the trigger, and with a pop, the Russian soldier's head was hit by the bullet, and his brains flew everywhere.
After successfully killing a Russian, Zhang Tingshu chose the next target, which was on the entire front. All the soldiers devoted themselves to the battle. A strong army can only be born through constant tempering. The Russian Army
It is a good whetstone, and Fengjun soldiers mature quickly.
Not only is the level of tactics rapidly improving, but more importantly, the mentality is constantly changing. On the battlefield, what is often competed for is confidence. In the past, China was stepped on by foreign powers, the country declined, and suffered from "foreign fear" from top to bottom.
"Symptom" Western countries are labeled as great powers and consider themselves weak.
However, in this battle of blood and fire, Fengjun did not lose at all. On the contrary, in offense and defense, Fengjun took advantage of it, and the great powers could only do this!
The mentality of every Fengjun soldier is quietly changing. This unit is more confident and calm. A strong army must have a winning mentality. It is obvious that Fengjun has taken the first step towards becoming a strong army.
Some people are happy about this change in Fengjun, and some are worried about it. The most worried people are the Japanese. Since Fengjun regained the Middle East Road, the Japanese have felt a little uneasy. As the saying goes, if Fengjun can attack the Russian Middle East Road, it will
It is possible to focus on the South Manchuria Railway.
It is precisely because of this concern that the Japanese also put aside some inherent contempt and began to focus on the changes in Fengjun. Especially after Fengjun quickly eliminated Horvat's men, the Japanese also felt that they had to re-evaluate
Fengjun's combat effectiveness has improved.
Fengtian Consul General Akajiri Masasuke used all his power to bring together all kinds of information and carefully analyzed and studied it. He wanted to find out the secret of Fengjun's power. As the information collected became more and more abundant, Akajiri Masasuke felt that from now on
A chill surged from the back of his neck. In the past two years, Fengjun had quietly grown stronger.
The sphere of influence expanded from one province to three provinces, the army changed from one division to five divisions, and Fengjun's progress was an all-round development. Business developed rapidly, finance became basically independent, and many factories appeared, and the government
The fiscal revenue continues to increase.
According to current data, Fengjun is at least ten times stronger than before. What is particularly puzzling to the Japanese is the source of Fengjun’s arms. In fact, during World War I, the most purchased arms by the Chinese Army were Japanese arms.
The Type 30 rifles that the Japanese eliminated are constantly being exported to China.
The Fengjun army was not equipped with Japanese ordnance. Instead, it prepared a large number of Russian-style arms. The source of these arms is worth thinking about. Was it given by the Russians on their own initiative, or was it obtained by the Fengjun army by some means? In short, it must be done.
clear.
There is another thing that makes Masasuke Akajiri restless, that is, a large number of factories have appeared in the three northeastern provinces, all of which are heavy industries, including steel plants and power plants, and Fengjun's arsenal is also constantly expanding. Fengtian one, Jilin
The Japanese don't quite know how much output an arsenal, especially one in Jilin, has and what it can make.
Putting this information together, Akajiri Shosuke discovered a fact that horrified him. Under the noses of the Japanese, the two legs of the military and economic relations had already established a certain foundation. As long as time goes by, they will definitely grow stronger.
.Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still and hurriedly wrote a report to Tokyo, requesting to strengthen intelligence penetration into Fengjun and make up for his negligence for a period of time.
In addition, Akajiri Shosuke believes that practical actions must be taken to curb the development of Fengjun. The most important thing is to prevent Fengjun from taking the Middle East route, otherwise the momentum of Fengjun's development will be beyond the control of the Japanese. Therefore, Akajiri Shosuke quickly
Arriving at Shuai's Mansion, I found Lao Zhang.
As soon as he met Akajiri Shosuke, he seemed very solemn and said to Zhang Zuolin: "General Zhang, the imperial government and Russia are in an alliance. We will never allow our allies to be attacked. I think the Fengjun must stop military operations with Russia."
"The Russians have bullied Fengjun at his doorstep. Do they still want us to wait to be stabbed?"
"General Zhang, this is the last advice of the imperial government. If Fengjun still doesn't listen, we will stop Fengjun from using the Middle East Road. The imperial government will do what it says!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better
