Of course, the crossing army did not set up two artillery positions, but set up artillery tactics before the battle, that is, only six rounds of bombardment were carried out at each artillery position, and then they immediately withdrew and moved to other positions, and from the beginning of the bombardment to the withdrawal, it must be completed within five minutes, so as not to be returned by Russian artillery. Although the Russian artillery return fire may not come so quickly and may not be so accurate, the crossing army cannot take this risk, because neither personnel nor equipment can afford to lose.

After completing the task of shelling the No. 1 artillery position, the soldiers of the two mortar companies immediately dismantled the mortars, and then divided the parts into different fighters of their squad and rushed to the next artillery position. However, all the soldiers did not carry shells, it turned out that for the rapid transfer of the artillerymen, all the shells were placed near the various artillery positions in advance, and the recruits were responsible for guarding and transporting them, and after receiving the order, the shells were immediately transported to the positions and handed over to the artillery fighters for use, anyway, only six shells were prepared for each gun in each position.

Fifteen minutes later, the two mortar companies have all been transferred to the No. 2 artillery position five kilometers away, and the recruits have sent the shells to the position, in three minutes, the fighters of each squad have reassembled the mortars, and at the same time, the UAV also sent the relative coordinate position of the Russian artillery position B to the two mortar companies, so each squad immediately adjusted the firing parameters of each gun, loading and aiming, this process took only two minutes.

And during this time, the Russian artillery launched a counterattack, and the momentum was not small, after all, there were several 100 mm caliber heavy guns in the Russian army, but all the shells fell into an open field, although almost all the ground was plowed over, but there was no loss to the crossing army.

At this time, on the No. 2 artillery position of the crossing army, the crossing army also launched another artillery attack on the artillery positions of the Russian army, and also like the previous round, the two mortar companies took turns firing three salvos in each round. The Russian artillery fire was suppressed immediately, and after all six rounds of shells were fired, the Russian artillery position B was also completely disabled.

The artillery battle between the two sides was a complete victory for the crossing army, and the Russian artillery could no longer pose any threat to the crossing army. And the commanders of the crossing army, Zhu Yaping and Qin Yuhai, also breathed a sigh of relief, because at this time in the battle, the crossing army was basically victorious.

Before this battle, the two also suffered a lot of pressure, because the army was transformed from the marines originally subordinate to the navy, and the commanders of the two armies were only lieutenant colonels, and the commander of the navy, Shang Jinfeng, had the rank of colonel, which is equivalent to the brigadier general of other countries' armies.

This battle was the first battle after the official formation of the army, and it was also the first time that the two commanders took charge of themselves, and both naturally hoped to achieve a victory to justify themselves and the newly established army, because just a day earlier, the navy had won a brilliant victory in the naval battle of the Bohai Sea, and the Provisional Military Council had also said that considering that the army had just been formed and its strength was insufficient, the navy could provide support to the army with ship-based missiles if necessary.

Of course, Zhu Yaping and Qin Yuhai knew that the military committee did not look down on the army, but based on facts and overall considerations, after all, the strength of the army was indeed inferior to the navy, but the two still hoped to achieve a victory without naval support as much as possible, and this victory should not only be won, but also won beautifully, so as to minimize the loss of personnel.

And the Russian army's greatest threat to the crossing army is artillery, so it knocked out the enemy's artillery, and also lifted its biggest threat, even without the support of the navy, it is enough to defeat the Russian attack, although the results are not as brilliant as the navy, but there is no need to bow in front of the navy.

At this moment, the soldier monitoring the drone said: "Battalion commander, the Russian army has attacked again, and this time it is the cavalry who came up." ”

Although the army was established, the crossing army is still the formation of the battalion, so the soldiers still call Zhu Yaping and Qin Yuhai the battalion commander, and the two of them didn't pay much attention to it, and immediately rushed to the display screen, and sure enough, they saw the Russian cavalry overwhelmingly rushing towards their own defense line, even if they looked at it from the display screen, they seemed to feel the roar of the horses' hooves. In fact, the Russian army only has more than 300 cavalry, but the cavalry charge is much more scattered than the infantry, so it gives people the impression of being all over the mountains.

It turned out that the two artillery positions of the Russian army were knocked out by the crossing army, and Linnevich also knew that the battle situation was extremely unfavorable to the Russian army, but if the troops were withdrawn like this, they would definitely be laughed at by Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries after returning to Yangcun.

Of course, the joke is still a trivial matter, Guan Jian is not only failed to win this battle, but also the Russian army's artillery was almost completely lost, which is quite unfavorable for Russia and other countries to compete for China's interests in the future, because without artillery, it will be difficult for the Russian army to achieve good results in future battles. At the same time, it also cast a huge shadow over Linnevich's future. Russia admires military merit and attaches great importance to participating in the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, so the defeated general will not have a future, and after he returns to Russia, he will certainly not be reused.

And now the only way to save is to defeat this army at all costs and capture Tianjin, so that not only can it ensure Russia's interests in China, but it can also be regarded as a great achievement, so that it is better to return to the country and have an explanation. Because, according to Russian practice, the victor is not to blame.

Therefore, thinking of this, Linnevich also completely gave up the idea of preserving strength, but immediately ordered the whole army to attack, launch an attack on the opponent's position, and must capture the opponent's position.

More than 300 cavalry in the Russian army were also sent by Linevich to take the lead, hoping to use the speed of the cavalry to rush through the opponent's fire blockade, enter the opponent's position and start a white-edged battle with the enemy.

After Linnevich gave the order, the Russian cavalry did not say a word, immediately urged their horses, raised their sabers, and launched a charge on the enemy's battlefield, while the Russian infantry also followed closely behind the cavalry.

More than 300 cavalry is nothing if it is in the era of cold weapons, but now it has already entered the era of hot weapons, and the kings on the battlefield in the past have also fallen off the altar and can only be used as auxiliary troops, so the cavalry armies of major European countries have been greatly reduced, and in a small-scale battle, it is really not a small amount to invest 300 cavalry.

Of course, Russia is one of the few countries that still retains a considerable number of cavalry, on the one hand, because compared with Britain, Germany, France, the United States and other countries, Russia's industrial base is relatively backward, and the territory is too vast, and the construction of railways has not kept up, so the superior mobility of the cavalry still has a considerable role in Russia; on the other hand, based on tradition, the current Tsarist Russia is vast, across Europe and Asia, the huge number of princes was developed on the basis of a small Muscovy more than 600 years ago, and in the process of Russian expansion, the Cossack cavalry played an important role in it, until now, the Russian army still retains the Cossack cavalry formation, and often used the tactics of cavalry assault on the battlefield.

Three hundred war horses rushed together, the momentum is still quite amazing, but in the eyes of the soldiers who crossed the army, it is really nothing, because in the old time and space in various blockbusters in the scene of thousands of horses galloping a lot, and in the past military exercises, the soldiers have also seen the scene of the tank group rushing forward, no matter how amazing the momentum of the cavalry charge is, it cannot be compared with the advance of the modern steel chariot, in addition, all the soldiers have experienced the baptism of the battlefield, but they are no longer rookies who have seen the war for the first time, and of course they will not be intimidated by the Russian cavalry。

When they saw the Russian cavalry appear on the battlefield, the commanders of the companies commanding on the scene immediately gave an order and ordered the machine guns to be prepared. This order was not to have the Type 95 squad of each company ready to use machine guns, but to have the QJZ89 Type 12.7 mm heavy machine guns of the machine gun companies ready to fire.

The QJZ89 12.7mm heavy machine gun has been used many times in past battles through the army, and has played an important role with its powerful firepower and light and flexible arrangement. It turns out that the QJZ89 12.7 mm heavy machine gun is a suppressive fire weapon developed by China for a single soldier, the total weight is less than 27 kg, and the weight of the pure gun body is only a little more than 15 kg, and the general 12.7 mm large-caliber machine gun usually weighs about 50 kg, and it is even lighter than some medium-sized machine guns, and one person can carry it, which is mainly due to the lack of mechanization of the Chinese army for a long time in the old time and space, and many weapons must meet the restrictions carried by the infantry. Therefore, after the QJZ89 12.7 mm heavy machine gun was studied, although there were shortcomings such as insufficient shooting accuracy and short service life of accessories, it was light in weight, easy to carry, flexible in arrangement, and soon equipped with a large number of troops, becoming a battalion and regiment-level support firepower.

Sure enough, just as the Russian cavalry was about 1,000 meters away from the crossing of the army's defensive line, the 12 QJZ89 12.7mm heavy machine guns arranged in the defensive line were divided into two groups and took turns firing and launched a fierce blow at the Russian cavalry.

The lethality of the 12.7 mm warhead is huge, whether it is a man or a horse is hit, even if it is not dead, it will inevitably be seriously injured, and sometimes it can even break people in two, not to mention hitting the hands and feet, and the limbs will be scattered immediately, so for a time the Russian cavalry was beaten to the ground upside down, the bones were broken, the muscles were torn, and blood appeared, and the people shouted and neighed, and the chaos became a mess.
