A huge fire swallowed up most of Pavlovich, and the Russian warehouse area was completely destroyed. More than 30,000 tons of military rations, more than 50,000 rounds of artillery shells, and tens of thousands of military uniforms were all turned into black.
Charcoal, after seeing this result, the Russian commander silently pointed his gun at his temple.
Although Russia still has a considerable industrial base, and in terms of scale, it is still far ahead of the Fengjun Army, but after Zhang Tinglan spared no effort in transporting the Far East, there is nothing left. Not only is it unable to provide military supplies, it even needs to transport food from Europe.
Help those victims.
It can be said that every bit of their supplies is extremely valuable. When they were suddenly attacked by the Feng army, the Russians could only cry without tears. But what made them even more depressed was still behind. After successfully solving Pavlovich, Hou
Lang did not stop. On the contrary, he launched a larger-scale harassment operation along the railway line.
They burned, killed and looted, turning the Russian rear into chaos. While they were struggling, Hou Lang also reported the situation to Jiang Dengxuan.
"Great, well done!" Jiang Dengxuan was overjoyed. The Russians' rear was captured, and the army's combat effectiveness was bound to be severely weakened. Jiang Dengxuan hurriedly ordered: "The second division strengthens the frontal fortifications, and the fourth division detours from the left to attack the Russian army.
Behind us, we must use the fastest speed to defeat Pavlovich’s defenders!”
After the order was issued, the Feng army's offensive suddenly intensified. The artillery roared and blasted the Russian positions to pieces. The soldiers at the front had already entered the city of Pavlovich and started a fierce battle with the Russians.
of street fighting.
Fire, gunpowder smoke, shouts of killing, and explosions were intertwined together, and Russian soldiers fell every moment. The Russian general Rogokin who was responsible for commanding the battle was a staunch member of the majority party. During the battle to defend Tsaritsyn
Zhong Zhong has made great achievements and can be called a strong soldier.
After arriving in the Far East, Rogokin continued his tough style. Facing the fierce attack by the Feng army, he did not care at all. How could a divided country and an army of warlords be the opponent of the Russians?
Victory is full of confidence.
But when he got the news that Pavlovich had been attacked, he suddenly felt cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Without logistical supplements, no army could win the battle with bare hands. It seemed that the balance of the war had turned to Russia.
People are in the most unfavorable time.
However, Luo Gejin was still unwilling to give up his last hope. He hurriedly sent out the only cavalry brigade in his hands, hoping that these cavalrymen who had repeatedly made military exploits could destroy the damn Fengjun and restore control of the railway line as soon as possible. If Chita
A batch of supplies was delivered in time. They seemed to be able to hold on.
After the cavalry brigade was dispatched, Rogokin personally summoned all the senior officers of the Russian army. These officers all looked at each other with deep fear in their eyes and looked very frustrated.
"Comrades, as outstanding Bolsheviks, we must never give up hope. Everyone must go to the front line and fight to the end with the Chinese Communist Party to defend the land under our feet and defend the achievements of the revolution!"
While Rogokin was speaking, two heavy artillery shells smashed over, only about 20 meters away from the headquarters. The violent explosion spread into the basement, the soil fell with crackling sounds, and the electric lamp was knocked down to the table.
, it fell to pieces.
After seeing this situation, everyone present felt a shadow cast over their hearts. Suddenly, someone panting came to report the news.
"Comrade Division Commander, the Chinese ** team has entered Dongcheng, and our soldiers are retreating steadily!"
Luo Gejin's eyes suddenly widened and he said loudly: "Comrades, execute the order immediately and fight to the end with the Chinese Communist Party."
The Russians had already put on a desperate posture. At this time, Jiang Dengxuan suddenly received a telegram from Zhang Tinglan. A military column came from the direction of Vladivostok. There was a new type of weapon on the military column.
After receiving the news, Jiang Dengxuan was also greatly surprised. The weapons that could be delivered at this time must be very important. He was also very curious and went to check the situation in person.
The military train stopped at a temporary train station, and the first people to jump out of the train were not Fengjun soldiers, but a few blond and blue-eyed Westerners. It was Randall, the leader of the German inspection team, and Fengjun
Promising to provide Germany with first-hand information on the battlefield, Randall asked Fengjun to provide information after the war officially started with the Russians.
The turning red Russia is not only a serious concern for China, but also a potential enemy of European countries, and Germany is no exception. Randall wanted to know the situation of the Russians very much, so he made a strong request. In order to take care of the friendship between the two sides, Zhang Tinglan also
I agreed.
After meeting Jiang Dengxuan, Randall said with a smile: "We are here to learn from experience this time. I hope your army can provide help and let us go to the front line to observe the situation on the battlefield!"
Jiang Dengxuan frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Randall, there is a saying in China that a sword and a gun have no eyes. You are all distinguished guests. Once you are injured on the battlefield, I can't explain it."
"No need, this is all voluntary on our part, you don't need to bear any responsibility."
Although he said this, Jiang Dengxuan also knew that once they were harmed, it would have a huge impact on Sino-German cooperation. However, Randall's attitude was very firm, and Jiang Dengxuan could not refuse.
"Mr. Randall, you can go to the front line, but you must obey the command. You only need to observe from a distance, and you are not allowed to visit the front line in person!"
"Well, we will do it." Randall showed a proud smile: "I look forward to seeing the scene where the Feng army defeats the Russians. Let those damn majority parties go to hell. If it weren't for their betrayal,
Germany will never lose!"
Germany did not suffer any losses on its homeland until the end of World War I. On the contrary, it was the domestic uprising that cost Germany the victory of the war. Those uprisings adhered to the same ideals as the Russian majority party, and there were also a large number of Jews mixed in.
The situation was very similar to that in Russia, which was also one of the reasons why the Nazi Party later became anti-Semitic and anti-Soviet.
Jiang Dengxuan did not care about the indignant Randall. His mind was already focused on the new weapons sent. Being able to ask Zhang Tinglan to give special instructions showed the importance of this weapon.
Jiang Dengxuan came to the front of the carriage. Xiong Mengyuan had already jumped down. As soon as he saw Jiang Dengxuan, he smiled and said: "Commander Jiang, look what I have given you!"
The men removed the tarpaulin from the carriage. Jiang Dengxuan took a closer look and saw a thick barrel in front of him. This cannon had a larger caliber than any artillery he had seen before. The barrel of the cannon glowed with a dark metallic light.
Showing strong power and terrifying lethality that destroys everything!
"Here, what caliber is this?" Jiang Dengxuan's tone was trembling. Ever since Feng Jun imitated the 152mm howitzer, he has been constantly exploring larger calibers. Now it seems that this is the caliber in front of him.
This is the latest achievement. Being able to see such a powerful artillery will make anyone feel extremely proud.
"Commander Jiang. This is a 240mm cannon. I'm ashamed to say it. We have been trying to develop large-caliber heavy artillery by ourselves. However, there are some key problems that cannot be overcome. In the end, we had to refer to some Western technologies.
The prototype of this artillery is the 240mm heavy artillery of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At the same time, some German design ideas were introduced, and finally it was finally made with the help of senior Russian technicians."
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. When it comes to the battlefield, what matters is the lethality. Who cares whether you copied it or created it original. As long as you can kill the enemy and win, that's enough. Besides, it takes too long to develop it yourself. This battle doesn't wait for anyone.
, if you really have to rely on yourself, can you send it to me now?"
Xiong Mengyuan also smiled: "Commander Jiang is right. This artillery uses forty times the caliber. One shell weighs 161 kilograms. The effective range is more than 26,000 meters. It has super destructive power. It is
A weapon for attacking fortresses."
Upon hearing the introduction, Jiang Dengxuan was even more overjoyed: "Why did the commander send such a good thing to me? Didn't he put it over there in Manzhouli?"
"Of course the commander is thoughtful, but the railway over there was damaged by the Russians. It is too difficult to transport such a cannon. You must know that one cannon weighs ** tons. It is impossible to operate without a railway.
There were eight in the first batch, and they were all sent to the commander-in-chief first."
"Since you sent it to me, you can't bury this super weapon. Get ready immediately to bombard the Russian army."
With the powerful weapon to attack the city, Jiang Dengxuan became even more confident. At this time, the Second and Fourth Divisions of Fengjun had already broken into the city. The Russians, led by officers and party members, fought desperately and were particularly tenacious.
These guys simply don't care about their own lives. As long as they still have breath, they will fight hard. From time to time, Russians will pull off grenades on their bodies and die together with Fengjun. Rogokin also leads reserve troops, such as firefighters.
Same, rescue crisis situations everywhere.
Facing the tenacious Russians, Fengjun couldn't take it down for a while, and the number of casualties was also increasing. Just when everyone was extremely anxious, eight huge cannons were already aimed at the church in the center of the city.
.
The tall cross is the best symbol of the city, and it has also become the best target for the Feng army. This is the area where the Russian army is most concentrated. Everyone is looking forward to the power of the new heavy artillery. Xiong Mengyuan personally led the
Some technicians followed the artillerymen to observe the situation together.
Bang! There was a sound of shaking the ground, and eight huge cannonballs drew a beautiful arc and shot quickly towards the center of the city.
The muzzle velocity of the artillery shell was 750 meters per second, and it traveled a distance of more than 15,000 meters. It was not a close distance. Xiong Mengyuan had his heart in his throat. Did the cannon have the expected power? In actual combat
The performance was so good that time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Boom, boom, boom! A violent explosion rang out. Through the telescope, Xiong Mengyuan could clearly see several huge flames rising in the city. The violent explosion quickly spread to the surroundings. Houses were pushed down in pieces, as if with a
The huge palm was like flattening all the buildings from the ground. The power was several times more shocking than expected!
"Quick, correct the muzzle and prepare for the second round of shooting!"
The Russians never imagined that the Feng army had such an astonishing weapon. In one round of shelling, hundreds of Russian soldiers were killed and injured. The originally fanatical Russians finally calmed down a little, and their opponents were more powerful than they imagined.
It was even more terrifying, and Luo Gejin felt a chill in his heart.
Boom boom boom, the ruthless shelling continued to fall on the heads of the Russians. There were fewer and fewer buildings in the city. The church was also turned into a pile of ruins under the bombardment of the shells. The huge cross had long been blown away.
!
With the help of heavy artillery, the morale of Fengjun's soldiers suddenly became high, and the offensive became more fierce. After more than a day of fierce fighting, Fengjun had compressed the remaining Russians around the city hall. At this time, one of Rogokin's arms had been scratched by shrapnel.
It fell, and blood continued to ooze from the wound, but he couldn't care less. Feng Jun had already launched the final attack.
One after another, the Russians were killed, and the fate of the Russians' defeat was irreversible. Randall and others were observing the battle not far from the front line.
These Germans couldn't help but admire: "The performance of the Chinese is impressive, they will stand up sooner or later!" (To be continued...)
