Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-fifth Section Tear the Line of Defense Fifth 52
Marianovka, the command center of the Russian army's Siberian battlefield. Here, more than 300,000 Russian troops gathered, accounting for almost half of the Russian army on the entire Siberian battlefield. Veteran Joseph Vladimirovic Guer
The Marshal of the Department of Science and Technology personally sits here to command the battle.
Joseph Vladimirovic Gulko, born in Mogilev Province in 1828, is 71 years old, graduated from the noble officers' school in 1846, served in the Imperial Guard Hussar Regiment. He participated in the Crimean War,
In 1875, he served as the commander of the 2nd Division of the Imperial Guard Cavalry in 1877. In 1878, he showed his military commander's talent in the Russian-Turkish War initiated by Tsar Alexander II. He performed outstandingly in the Russian-Turkish War in 1878. Later, he was promoted to the military in 1894 for his military achievements.
Field Marshal.
Although Gulko is a very talented general and has rich experience, he still does not have much confidence in this war. Although he now holds more than 700,000 Russian troops, these Russian troops are only
Half of them are regular troops, transferred from Europe to Siberia, and the rest are all farmers who have just put down their hoes. It is simply that such an army is expected to fight against the Chinese Jingrui army armed to the teeth.
Just seeking death.
As a front-line general, Gulco had a clearer understanding of the current situation. He knew that Russia could no longer fight. If the war was forcibly carried out, it would only cost Russia a heavier price. Of course, it would be a more serious price.
The conditions proposed by the Chinese are too harsh. If we can get a condition that both sides can accept during the negotiations, it will be very important for Russia.
"Marson!" Suddenly, his adjutant, a young Russian boy, who was only thirty years old, was already a Russian colonel, walked into Marshal Gurko's office with a somewhat anxious expression.
"What's wrong? Did those lowly herders attack our transportation line or conquered a town?" Marshal Gurko asked with a frown. The lowly herders he said were from the five Central Asian tribes.
Those people, with the support of China, the cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes, acquired them in the Siberian region. They attacked the Russian logistics supply lines, or directly attacked the Russian settlements, and even had a nomadic cavalry that crossed the Ural River.
When entering Europe, Marshal Gulco was in a mess.
"No, Marshal! The front line report, the Chinese's positions were a bit abnormal. At 6 o'clock in the morning, the Chinese's positions were already crowded, and they seemed to be preparing to launch an attack!" Colonel Levslovic reported
.
"Chinese. Do they want to go to war with us?" Marshal Gulco frowned. He knew that he could not defeat the Chinese team in front of him, so he also hoped that both sides would be able to continue to be safe. However.
The abnormality of the Chinese team now made him feel a little crisis.
"Marson Marshal, I heard that the peace talks in beijing are very unsuccessful. Foreign Minister His Excellency Izvulsky rejected the Chinese people's request and was very tough in the peace talks. So, I think the Chinese people will
We won't attack us because of this," Levslovic said.
"Damn it, it's really possible! Order the front line troops to be prepared to resist the Chinese attack!" Marshal Gulco ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" Colonel Levslovic immediately went to pass the order.
At this moment, on the Chinese position on the left bank of the Erzis River, the soldiers had entered the trenches and were ready to attack. Behind them, a heavy artillery had been pushed to the artillery position, with a ferocious gun,
Pointing to the sky. When the Chinese team captured Omsk, the Russian army did not react, so the railway bridge on the Erzis River also fell completely into the hands of the Chinese team. This made the Chinese team
** Team can push the front line to the left bank of the Erzis River. Otherwise, the wide Erzis River will cause great trouble to the attack.
At 7 a.m., Chinese Army Minister Cai Yun personally issued an order to start the attack. For a time, on the nearly 30-kilometer-long defense line on the left bank of the Erjis River, the Chinese team gathered more than 1,500.
Heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 105 mm was launched into a violent shelling on the Russian defense line. One by one, the shells crossed the sky, and with a sharp roar, they landed on the Russian position, bursting out an orange-red fire.
.The smoke of gunpowder filled the Russian army's defense completely enveloped it.
At the same time, the First Cavalry Army and Third Cavalry Army of the Chinese team launched an attack from the flanks. They would detour the rear of the Russian army and block the Russian army's retreat. They would strive to do as much as possible in this battle.
The more vital forces of the Russian army were annihilated.
On the front line, the Russian army deployed a total of 300,000 troops. However, among the 300,000 Russian troops, only half were veterans who had received formal training, and the rest of the soldiers were recruits who only learned how to shoot.
During the overwhelming artillery bombardment of the Chinese team, these Russian soldiers held their heads and lay on the bottom of the trench and shivered. God prayed that the shells would not fall into the trench. Some anti-cannon holes were already filled with terrified Russia.
Soldiers. However, the Russian army lacks steel bars, cement and other materials. Their anti-aircraft holes are often not very strong. Not to mention the shells of 155mm heavy howitzers, even if they are shells of 105mm light howitzers, as long as they are shot continuously,
, anti-aircraft holes will be destroyed. In this case, a anti-aircraft hole will often lose hundreds of people.
"Counterattack! Counterattack!" The Russian artillery started to counterattack after the Chinese artillery plundered for twenty minutes. However, as soon as they fired, they were quickly discovered by the observation balloons in the sky. They were already on standby
The three 155mm heavy cannon battalions of the Chinese artillery immediately began to suppress.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" One by one, the artillery shells fell on the Russian artillery positions, and violently exploded, sweeping everything, easily destroying the Russian artillery positions. One by one, the artillery positions were more direct than the other.
The explosion turned into a mohua, and the casualties were even more severe. When the shells piled up on the positions were hit, a terrible explosion occurred. Under such a blow, it took less than half an hour.
The Russian artillery positions were silenced one after another.
Afterwards, the Chinese artillery directed all the firepower at the Russian army's defense line. Under the overwhelming attack of artillery fire, the Russian army's defense line was blown up in the shelling. One by one, the permanent fire points were directly bombed.
In the sky, Russian soldiers were constantly bombarded with bones, broken limbs and arms, and so on. They were everywhere. The entire Russian defense line completely became a Shura hell.
At 8 a.m., the Chinese artillery bombardment began to extend backwards, focusing on bombarding the Russian army's second line of defense, and also preventing the Russian army from supporting the first line of defense. The Russian army's defense line on the left bank of the Erzis River has a total of
Three roads, each road is less than two kilometers apart.
"Occurrence!" After the artillery fire began to extend, the infantry that had already been prepared jumped out of the trenches and launched an attack on the Russian army.
"Get up! You cowards! Get up quickly, the Chinese are coming!" The officers on the first line of defense of the Russian army pulled up the trembling recruits, asked them to take their guns and enter
Go to the position and prepare to block the attack of the ** team.
"Fire! Fire! Kill all the Chinese!" The Russian officers ordered loudly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The crisp rifle gunfire began to sound in a mess. The Russian soldiers were afraid of firing at the attacking team in the trenches.
"Da da da da da!" Soon, the heavy machine gun also began to roar. In the orange-red fire, bullets swept towards the Central Team.
Under the attack of the Russian army, the attacking teams fell to the ground one after another.
"Machine gun cover, mortar, knock off the enemy's fire point!"
"Dadada!" The light machine guns set up began to sweep wildly at the Russian positions, suppressing the Russian counterattack.
"Boom!" The mortar also started shelling at the Russian fire point. As soon as the shell fell, the Russian fire point was blown to the sky.
"Attack!" After seeing the Russian firepower point blown away, the soldiers of the China National Team jumped up from the ground and charged at the Russian positions again.
The previous shelling had already caused heavy losses to the Russian army. Under the pressure of their officers, although they took up weapons to block the attack of the Chinese team, their counterattack seemed so powerless.
By 9 a.m., the first line of defense of the Russian army had been broken through by the China-Next Team. The China-Next Team began to clean up the Russian army on the defense line. The Russian army, which defended the first line of defense, was not allowed to break through the defense line after it was broken.
They do not retreat. In this process, they need to pass through the artillery fire blockade of Chinese artillery, and in this flagship, they have paid a lot of losses.
The 100,000 Russian troops deployed on the first line of defense, and less than 30,000 people were safely withdrawn to the second line of defense.
After taking down the first line of defense of the Russian army, the Chinese team took a short rest and launched an attack on the second line of defense. The second line of defense of the Russian army, which had been plundered for a long time, even if it was added from the first.
The army retreated from the road defense line, but it was also vulnerable.
Under the fierce attack of the Chinese team, at 11 a.m., the second line of defense was also broken through by the Chinese team. The Russian army had to retreat to the last line of defense due to heavy casualties.
In one morning, the two lines of defense of the Russian army were broken through one after another, losing more than 100,000 people. The remaining more than 100,000 Russian troops were all crowded to the last line of defense, and this line of defense was in the China National Team.
Under the attack, it also became precarious!
