"What are the Russians trying to do? Are they really going to fight us? Attacking in this ghost weather is simply seeking death!" Dong Jiarong, the battalion commander of the 4th Battalion of the 9th Cavalry Brigade, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, climbed up.
The city wall looked at the large number of Russian soldiers who were stumbled forward one kilometer outside the city and cursed. Two days ago, he received a telegram from Kulun to guard against the Russian attack. At that time, he still sniffed and thought it was so cold.
Even the Russians who have adapted to the cold winter did not dare to attack. But unexpectedly, in how long it took, the Russians really came, and there have been so many people since then.
"Come on, set up all the light and heavy machine guns for me. Prepare the mortars and infantry cannons for me. Since these Russians are coming to die, grandpa will fulfill his wish!" Dong Jiarong ordered loudly.
"Yes, battalion commander!" The officers and soldiers of the battalion took action. Although the city wall was too narrow, it could only accommodate one company of troops. However, when all the light and heavy machine guns in the battalion were concentrated, it could still form terror.
The 4th Cavalry Battalion has 36 light machine guns and 12 heavy machine guns. Half of the machine guns are deployed on the north wall, while the rest are deployed on the other three walls. In terms of artillery, it has 12 60mm
Caliber mortars, 8 80mm caliber mortars, two 120mm heavy mortars and two infantry cannons. They can be said to have very strong firepower. Ordinary cavalry units do not have so many heavy weapons, for the sake of ease of movement.
Heavy mortars and infantry artillery have been cancelled. But the 4th Battalion is different. They are the garrison troops of the city of trade and sales, so naturally they need to prepare more artillery to prevent the enemy's attack!
"Come here, warn me of the Russians that if they get closer, we will open fire!" Dong Jiarong ordered.
Immediately, a soldier who knew Russian, holding an iron trumpet and shouted loudly to the Russian army that became. The place of the Merchant City has been in trade with the Russians for many years, and many people can speak Russian. However, the soldiers in the Empire issued a warning.
Afterwards, the Russians ignored it.
"Turgenev, what will those yellow-skinned monkeys shout?" asked Major General Mihayer.
"Who knows? It should be that let us stop moving forward! Don't worry about them, this ghost weather, we can rest after taking down the city of business and sales!" Turgenev said gasping. He was the great Cossack cavalry,
But now, he had to rush to the road with his legs and turned into an infantryman, which made him very annoyed. He really wanted to rush to Irkutsk and beat Lieutenant General Vladimir who gave the offensive order.
"Order the First Regiment to start the attack! The artillery covers!" Major General Mihayer ordered less than two kilometers from the Made and Sales City. This time, he only got about a dozen small-caliber artillery pieces, which was still a cost.
It took all his strength to bring it to the snow and ice. However, he believed that it was enough to attack a small city like Made and Shop City, which had only more than a thousand people stationed in it.
Because the weather was too cold, the gun bolts were frozen, and the Russian artillery soldiers took a lot of effort to complete the preparations for the firing.
"Boom!" A shell exploded in the snow in front of the trading city, stirring up clusters of ice and snow. The power of shelling in the snow would be greatly reduced. However, the Russians opened fire first, which made the Chinese team bigger.
In shock, these Russians started attacking quietly, which was simply shameless.
"Retaliate! Retaliate! Blow off the cannons of those Russians for me!" Dong Jiarong ordered.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The artillery soldiers who had already prepared started to fire immediately. The shells streaked across the sky and roared at the Russian army. The shells exploded.
Come on, shrapnel shot everywhere. Because of the obstruction of ice and snow, the power of the shelling was much smaller, but it still caused a considerable shock to the Russians. In particular, the target of the shelling was the Russian artillery. Several rapid shots were fired.
The Russian artillery was almost blown up.
"Damn it, these cunning yellow-skinned monkeys, didn't they say that the city of business and sales only had one battalion of troops? Why did they have so many cannons?" Major General Mihayer widened his eyes. He was sure that this was definitely a person with two
The power of a group of more than ten cannons is no less than the artillery possessed by one of his infantry divisions! Could it be that the Chinese are already rich enough to equip dozens of artillery for a battalion?
Major General Hayer could not believe all this.
"Attack! Take the city of business and sell, and the heavy machine guns come forward to provide cover for the infantry!" Major General Mihayer ordered frantically. At this time, it is obvious that those arrogant Cossack cavalry cannot take action. This weather is not suitable for Cossack.
When cavalry fight, his infantry can only attack.
Nearly two thousand Russian soldiers began to run high and low on the snow, shouting 'Ula! Ula!'. Behind them were the Russian soldiers carrying heavy machine guns, wanting
Advance and deploy heavy machine guns to provide cover for the attacking infantry.
"The artillery adjusts the design target and first knock down the heavy machine gun behind the enemy." Dong Jiarong calmly issued an order. Although the wall of the shopping mall is not high, it is more than two meters. For soldiers without engineering equipment, if they want to break through,
It is not that easy. On the contrary, those heavy machine guns pose a greater threat to the imperial soldiers. If the heavy machine guns of the Russians were solved and the light and heavy machine guns of the Imperial Team deployed on the city walls can naturally easily harvest the lives of these Russians.
It's right.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A series of shells fell behind the Russian team, overturning the Russians' bombed people. Many heavy machine guns were destroyed.
"Dadada!" After the Russian soldiers entered the effective range, the light and heavy machine guns deployed on the walls of the trade city opened fire one after another. A series of red flames and bullets hit the snow, making a sizzling sound.
The Russian soldiers who were charging were immediately knocked to the ground. Blood flowed out of their bodies, but they were soon frozen into ice.
The surviving Russian soldiers were lying in the snow and did not dare to move forward. They had never encountered such fierce firepower. Isn't this a place where a battalion is stationed? How could there be so many machine guns?
"Mihayer, it seems we are in trouble!" Major General Turgenev's face was a little gloomy. It would be very difficult to conquer such a city with powerful machine guns and artillery fire in the snow and ice.
The advantage is not too great at this moment.
"What should we do? Could it be that time that we retreated? That guy Vladimir will definitely send us to the military court!" Major General Mihayer said with some concern. Although they were very dissatisfied with this order,
But there was no way. After all, it was a military order or an order issued by Tsar Nicholas II, so they could only obey the order.
"Occurrence! Continue to attack!" Major General Mihayer shouted. Although he did not want these soldiers to die, he had no other way. He could only look at all this coldly. In the Russian team,
The hierarchy is already very strict, and these ordinary soldiers are not regarded as human beings. Russia can be said to be the weakest country among the great powers, with a very low national literacy rate. These Russian soldiers are generally uneducated.
Serfs. Their only advantage in war is probably the cannon fodder used to consume enemy bullets.
Under the strict orders of the superiors, the Russian soldiers had to attack in the rain of bullets. However, running in the snow was too hard. Even if they were Russians who had adapted to the severe cold, they could not be so cold.
winter battle.
A regiment of Russian soldiers launched an attack, and in less than half an hour, a bunch of corpses were left behind. More than two thousand people, except for a small number of them retreated, the rest had become cold corpses and were frozen into
There is ice cube.
"Come here, tell the qualifiers to prepare one or two pots for everyone. In this damn weather, don't be frozen to death without being beaten to death by the Russians!" Dong Jiarong, the battalion commander of the 4th battalion, ordered during the break of the battle.
Here, a lot of white wine is stored to warm the body. Now it comes in handy.
"Wow!" After hearing Dong Jiarong's order, the soldiers shouted excitedly. In this extremely cold weather, I took a sip of white wine and warmed my mouth to my heart. Not to mention how exciting it was.
Compared with Chinese soldiers, the Russians did not have such good treatment. The first attack on the soldiers was not allowed to give up the attack. Less than half an hour later, he organized a second wave of attacks.
, not only attacked the front, but also sent troops to attack several other directions of the shopping and sales city.
However, the defense of the Chinese team is very strict, and the opponent is the Russian team with no artillery left, and it is fighting in the snow with limited mobility, which makes these Russian soldiers completely become living targets.
The military advantage was completely offset against the firepower advantage of the Zhong** team.
The battle lasted until the evening. Major General Mihayer, who was unable to conquer the city of Buying and Selling, had to issue an order to retreat. After a day of battle, one of his divisions lost thousands of people.
When these Russian soldiers retreated to Chikto, the Chinese soldiers cheered. The cooking squads of each company had already prepared hot meals to warm up the soldiers who had fought for a day.
After that, the 4th Battalion did not make much loss. It only killed more than ten soldiers, and more than twenty soldiers were injured. Compared with their results, this was nothing.
That night, the 4th Battalion remained vigilant. However, after nightfall, a blizzard broke out. Only then did everyone feel completely at ease.
