Chapter 146: The Battle of Beicang (5)
The third offensive of the Russian army began, and this time the Russian army can be said to have done its best, and even the logistics army was sent. Linevich also knew that success or failure depended on this, because as the casualties of the Russian army increased, Linnevich had to bear more and more responsibility, so at this time he was also nervously watching the movements of the Russian army on the mountain. In fact, this is not only the last chance for the Russian army to attack, but also the last chance for Linevich.
But at this moment, only a few sharp and rapid whistling sounds were heard in the air, and the Russian officers on the hill couldn't help but change their faces greatly, because this was the whistling sound made by the friction between the shells and the air when they fell from the air, but before the Russian officers could react and use something, they only heard the continuous explosion sound of "boom boom boom", which suddenly blew up the small hill where the Russian headquarters was located into a sea of fire.
Although at the beginning of the battle, the crossing army saw the layout of the Russian army clearly through the reconnaissance of drones, but it could not be judged that it was the location of the command headquarters of the Russian army, because it was a temporary position, and there was no obvious difference between the command of the Russian army and other armies, and it was almost the same from the air. If another twenty years are over, in the period of World War I, it may be possible to determine the location of the command headquarters by capturing electric signals, but in this era, radio has just begun to be studied, and it has not yet been popularized.
And now the whole army of the Russian army is dispatched, and even the logistics troops are sent to attack the Beicang position desperately, and on the position of the Russian army, there is only one small hill where the army has not moved, so it must be the location of the Russian command, so Zhu Yaping immediately ordered two mortar companies to fire at the hill where the Russian command headquarters is located according to the coordinate position provided by the drone, and still carry out six shelling per gun to decapitate the Russian army. The result was indeed very smooth, and the command of the Russian army was defeated.
The shells fell on the hill where the Russian command was located, and the main commanders of the Russian army, including Commander Linnevich, were almost all killed under the cover of the barrage, only the deputy commander Alekseev was seriously wounded, but he was not injured to death, he survived by luck, and under the protection of several soldiers who accompanied him, he fled from the hill.
Although Alekseev was seriously wounded, he is now the highest-ranking officer in the Russian army, and naturally he automatically took over as the supreme commander of the Russian army, so Alekseev only underwent a simple bandaging treatment, and immediately ordered the Russian army to stop the offensive and immediately withdraw from the battlefield.
During the first two Russian attacks, although the Russian army was frustrated and retreated, it crossed the army and did not launch a counterattack when the Russian army retreated, but still just stuck in the position and shot and pursued for a while, which also caused a fixed impression for the Russian army, that is, the enemy will only stay in the position, and will not kill the position, plus three consecutive attacks, so that the Russian army suffered heavy casualties, but did not even touch the edge of the enemy's position, so the Russian soldiers have no intention of fighting, at this time after hearing the order to withdraw, the Russian soldiers immediately turned around and ran back, just want to leave the position earlier, and even the covering army did not stayใ
But no one thought that when the Russian army turned and retreated, the soldiers who crossed the army did not hide in their positions anymore, but jumped out of the bunkers and trenches one after another, followed the Russian army, covered up, pursued while raising their guns to shoot, and used guns to hang grenade launchers to fire grenades to kill and injure the Russian army.
It turned out that the Russian army's offensive was getting weaker and weaker every time, and the morale had reached the point of exhaustion, and the command of the Russian army was also knocked out, obviously it had reached the critical point of this battle, so naturally this opportunity could not be missed, so Zhu Yaping and Qin Yuhai saw that the Russian army was retreating, and immediately ordered the soldiers to attack and pursue the Russian army, and this time they wanted to completely defeat the Russian army in one go. At the same time, the two ordered the newly formed three battalions to also attack with the fighters to pursue the Russian army.
Before this battle, the two commanders were ready to let the recruits also reflect the atmosphere of the battlefield at the right time, and now that the Russian army has been defeated and retreated, even the command headquarters has been defeated, which is naturally a great opportunity for the recruits to go to the battlefield to temper themselves, which can accelerate the growth of the soldiers and be able to take on great responsibilities as soon as possible.
Except for some of the recruits who were responsible for transporting shells for the artillery, the other recruits were assembled behind the position and stood by, and the sound of artillery and gunfire on the position just now became a one, and the recruits heard it very clearly, and at the same time the news on the battlefield also kept coming, first knocking out the artillery positions of the Russian army, and then repelling two attacks of the Russian army in succession, wounding and killing more than 1,000 Russian soldiers, which also made many recruits excited.
Now the recruits have undergone more than ten days of military training, and although this time is mainly to learn some basics, they have also learned to shoot guns. It is said that recruits should not learn to shoot in the first 10 days, but considering the special situation at present, recruits may go to the battlefield at any time, so they still set aside a certain amount of time every day for shooting and bayonet training. Of course, the recruits are still using Hanyang-made Type 88 rifles, and the Mauser 98 rifles captured in the Battle of the Bohai Sea have not yet been distributed.
However, in the eyes of these recruits, being able to shoot can be regarded as real soldiers, and at this time, they heard that the battle on the battlefield in front of them was in full swing, and the Russian army was beaten to the ground through the army, and many soldiers were a little eager to try.
Every night, the recruits had to study culture and politics for an hour, so that the recruits not only learned to read and write, but also understood many truths that they had never heard of before; on the one hand, they knew the concept of the state and the nation, and who were the invaders; on the other hand, they also knew that the purpose of their battles was not for the court, not for the emperor, not for Lafayette, but for the protection of their homeland and relatives. Folks, because these soldiers have almost all experienced the moment of family ruin, so they understand how difficult it is to bring them a new life after the arrival of the crossing group.
In fact, the Chinese peasants are not lacking in blood, but the bloodiness is buried too deep in the body and is not easy to be stimulated, and once it is stimulated, it is by no means inferior to other countries, which has been proven countless times in the old time and space, and in this time and space, it is still the same. Therefore, having received the order from the command, everyone fought bravely, carrying rifles with bayonets in hand, leaping over the position, following behind the passing army, and rushing forward.
The Russian army is indeed not mentally prepared for the pursuit of the crossing army, and although it has killed the position, the firepower of the crossing army has not weakened much, not only the QZ95 automatic rifle, but even the QZ95 squad machine gun can also shoot on the march, so it was chased by the crossing army, and a burst of fierce fire firepower shot the Russian army was wounded and killed, while the other Russian soldiers were panicked and ran forward desperately, hoping to get rid of the pursuit.
In the pursuit of the escape, it did not take long for the Russian army to retreat to its own position, and under normal circumstances, some troops would be left in the position to respond to the retreating troops from the battlefield, so as to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the victory to pursue and disrupt their positions. But as soon as this is the third offensive, the Russian army has done its best, and even the logistics personnel have been sent, so at this time there are almost no responding troops in the position, and the command headquarters was knocked out by the crossing army, and the acting commander Alekseev was seriously wounded, and he did not think about it, only thinking about stopping the attack and retreating from the battlefield, and did not think about the matter of receiving the defeated army, and as a result, the crossing army followed the Russian army, and broke through the position of the Russian army very smoothly, causing the rout of the Russian army on all fronts. Alekseev also retreated from his positions under the protection of several Russian soldiers.
And at this moment, the crossing army pursuing behind the Russian army suddenly separated left and right, outflanked from the two flanks of the Russian army to the front of the Russian army to intercept, in order to obtain the greatest results, and handed over the task of pursuing the Russian army from behind to the three new military camps that followed from behind.
This approach is indeed quite risky, because the soldiers of the new army have only received more than ten days of training, at most they have only learned to shoot, strictly speaking, they can't meet the standard of a qualified soldier, and now they are a little stronger than ordinary people, so the task of pursuing the Russian army from behind is handed over to the new army, if the Russian army turns around and kills back in this era, and the two sides start a white-knuckle battle, the recruits may be difficult to stop the counterattack of the Russian army.
However, Zhu Yaping and Qin Yuhai estimated that the Russian army was already demoralized at this time, and they had no intention of fighting at all, let alone thinking that it would be a group of rookie soldiers who were chasing after them. Therefore, at this time, the Russian army will never turn around and kill back.
And even if the Russian army turns back to fight, there is no need to be afraid, because at this time, the crossing army has been outflanked from the left and right sides of the Russian army, so as long as the Russian army turns back to meet the battle, the crossing army will stop detouring, but immediately attack from both sides of the Russian army, so that the counterattack of the Russian army can be completely crushed. On the contrary, handing over the task of pursuing the Russian army from behind to the new army can also allow these recruits to accumulate some practical combat experience, which is conducive to their rapid growth, and after all, the new army still has the command of soldiers who have crossed the army, and with these veterans in charge, I believe it will not be vulnerable.
Sure enough, after the order of the command was given, the crossing army immediately separated to both sides and outflanked the Russian army from both sides, while the new army, under the command of the fighters of the crossing army, immediately rushed forward and continued to pursue the Russian army head-on from behind. Just as the two commanders expected, the Russian army did not find out that the army chasing them behind them had changed, and they still continued to escape, and no one turned around and killed back.
