Chapter 476: The Battle of Shanhaiguan (5)

Obumochaev hesitated, but did not order a retreat, because at this time the Russian army had approached the positions of the overseas Chinese, and Obumochaev also firmly believed that in the initial round of heavy shelling, it gave a major blow to the overseas Chinese, and it must have caused considerable losses to the positions of the overseas Chinese, so the probability of the Russian army breaking through the defense line of the overseas Chinese is still very large. 八?一?Chinese (一)?? (8) 8 (8) (8) Z (8) .COM

In addition, Obumochaev at this time also had a bit of a gambler's mentality, because if the Russian army retreated at this time, then the battle would definitely end in failure, even if the Russian army can defeat the overseas Chinese in the future and break through the Shanhai Pass, its reputation will inevitably plummet, after all, it has lost two field artillery battalions, and its strength has been greatly damaged, and it is difficult to have outstanding performance in future battles; and if it continues to attack and can capture the positions of overseas Chinese, even if it is to lose some troops, but it can also save some face, at least this battle cannot be regarded as a failure。 Therefore, Obumochaev clenched his binoculars and stared at the battlefield in front of him, and at the same time hoped that the Russian army could earn a breath for himself and break through the positions of overseas Chinese.

And Apalikov, who was watching the battle on the side, Sokolov also had a solemn face, it seems that he still underestimated the strength of overseas Chinese, and it seems that it is not easy to break through the Shanhai Pass, but at this time, the two still did not interfere with Obumochaev's command, after all, this battle was commanded by Obumochaev, if Obumochaev is stopped at this time, I am afraid he will still be unconvinced, and even put the responsibility for the defeat on himself. Although Obumochaev is only a division commander, he comes from a military family, and he is a young Zhuang faction, and he is very powerful, but he cannot be underestimated.

In addition, in the hearts of the two of them, they often do not hold a trace of luck, hoping that the Russian army can break through the defense line of overseas Chinese in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as a good start for the Russian army. However, after all, the two are spectators, and their minds are still calmer than Obumochaev, and they know that this situation is not very likely. Since the overseas Chinese can easily destroy the two field artillery battalions of the Russian army, is there no way to hold their positions? However, it is also good to understand the defensive tactics of the overseas Chinese, so both of them also picked up binoculars to observe the situation on the battlefield.

The smoke of gunpowder that enveloped the KPA position has gradually dispersed, and it can be seen very clearly that the position is very empty, and there seems to be no one on the position, and the barrage of trees, horses, and iron nets that have begun to be erected in front of the position have been blown to pieces in the shelling just now.

At this time, the Russian army in the front line had already broken through to only about 5oo meters away from the position of the People's Army, although there was no artillery support, but at this time it had entered the range of the rifle, and I did not know that it was the Russian soldier who shouted "Ula", and then trotted up, and raised the rifle in his hand, shooting in the direction of the position of the People's Army. And the behavior of this Russian soldier quickly infected the other Russian soldiers, who opened their legs, trotted forward, and shouted "Ula" while raising their guns and shooting. All of a sudden, the crisp gunfire of the M1891 Mosin Nagant rifle and the sound of Russian soldiers shouting "Ula" and "Ula" also rang out.

Obmochaev saw this through the telescope, and his heart couldn't help but be a little excited, and silently prayed, hoping that the Russian army could break through the positions of overseas Chinese in one fell swoop. And Apalikov and Sokolov also have a little more confidence in the Russian army, and there is some hope for this.

"Dada-da-da!"

"Bang bang bang!"

At this moment, a dense burst of gunfire rang out in the positions of the People's Army, mixed with the bombardment of small-caliber artillery, which immediately suppressed the sound of the Russian army. All kinds of bullets and small-caliber shells were dense like a torrential rain, covering the Russian army overwhelmingly. Tearing open muscles, shattering bones, and rushing to the front row, the Russian soldiers fell almost in rows like dead grass under the wind; and in the array of the Russian army, there were continuous explosions, and the sound of screams and wails was endless.

And the soldiers in the back row of the Russian army were clever and immediately fell to the ground, or found a place to cover in order to avoid the counterattack of the People's Army, but there were also some soldiers who were not so smart-minded, still holding their guns, shouting "Ula", and rushed forward, but they didn't run far, and they were soon shot and fell to the ground. Therefore, the offensive of the Russian army was also strongly hit by the People's Army, suppressed at a distance of about 3oo meters, and it was difficult to take another step forward.

The situation on the battlefield changed instantly, and Obumochaev could see it very clearly, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the overseas Chinese still had such a strong resistance up to now, and the fierce shelling before the war did not seem to have caused any blow to the overseas Chinese, of course, it could also be that after the overseas Chinese suffered a blow, the remaining resistance was still strong.

In fact, although the round of shelling by the Russian army before the start of the war seemed to be fierce, it did not cause any damage to the positions of the KPA, which of course played a considerable role in the trenches dug by the KPA.

In this era, due to the display of weapon performance, and the corresponding tactical theory has not been exhibited together, coupled with the fact that all countries are generally popular to advocate offense and despise defense, so the role of the first team in the trench in the war, because it is a continuous fire weapon such as a machine gun, combined with the trench to produce the effect of one plus one greater than two, is generally not enough.

In the old time and space, it was during the Russo-Japanese War that the tactics of combining trenches and machine guns appeared and played a huge role in defensive operations, and in the First World War, this defensive tactic was brought to its peak. It can be said that before the advent of tank armored vehicle weapons, as long as there was enough ammunition and troops, the disparity in strength was not too great, and it was almost impossible to break through the trench defense line.

Although in the era of the traverser, trench tactics were no longer the mainstream of warfare, after all, they had entered the information war, the integration of air and space, trenches or something, and basically would not be used in ordinary wars, but this does not mean that the traverser would not use trench tactics, after all, the ancestors of the traverser had swung this tactic to the point of being superb. Therefore, there is a large amount of relevant information. In addition, from time travel to the present, the traveler has accumulated a lot of practical experience, and has a lot of practical experience to confirm the theoretical knowledge. And because of the sufficient time to prepare, and the help of the Qing army and the people of Shanhaiguan, the trenches of the position were also completely realized according to the intention of the traverser.

The trenches of the People's Army positions are basically in accordance with the trench style of the civil war period in the old time and space, and refer to the trench tactics of Germany and Russia in World War II.

Not only is it meandering, criss-crossed, the high bottom is scattered, the depth can be overwhelming, looking down from the air, it is generally a spider web-like scattering arrangement, and in the area outside the position, a large number of wooden horses are also placed, and barbed wire is hung. Moreover, in addition to the blocking position, there are also rest rooms, storerooms, infirmaries, offices, drainage ditches and other rooms in the trenches, all of which are located below the horizon, just like a small city.

Such a trench arrangement has a fairly good defensive effect against artillery bombardment, and even if the shells fall into the trenches, their lethality is controlled within a very small range, unless the enemy has a large-caliber heavy artillery bombardment. And now the Russian army only has medium-caliber field guns with straight ballistics, not howitzers with large arc curves, and it is difficult for such artillery to hit shells into trenches.

At the beginning of the battle, the Russian artillery bombardment was indeed fierce, but all the soldiers of the People's Army hid in the trenches, the side walls of the trenches with their backs, listening to the explosions outside the trenches, the ground seemed to be trembling, the veterans were still able to stay calm without being strong, their faces were normal, and there were a few heartless people telling jokes, but the recruits were pale in the face, and some even trembled all over. However, after a long time, few shells landed in the trenches, and there were not many casualties to the KPA and Ben, and occasionally soldiers were injured by flying shrapnel, but medical personnel immediately came to treat them.

As a result, the soldiers' courage also became bigger, and their emotions stabilized a lot. And at this time, the KPA artillery also began to return fire, and the Russian artillery gradually muted until it retreated, and the KPA soldiers were only a dozen killed, and more than 20 soldiers were wounded. The rest of the soldiers also stood up one after another, occupied a good shooting position, and set up rifles, machine guns, and small-mouth guns on the edge of the trenches.

Responsible for guarding the position of Zhangjiachang Village is the first battalion and the third battalion of the second regiment, with a total of more than 13oo soldiers, guarding two small hills, and the regimental headquarters of the second regiment is located in the rear of these two small hills. So far, the battle has basically been carried out according to the pre-war expectations of the traverser, the People's Army with the help of trenches, and the lack of heavy artillery of the Russian army, blocked the attack of the Russian army, Qiu Yahui is also a little relieved, to be honest, he was also a little worried before the war, after all, the Russian army faced this time, in any era, the Russian army is not an army that can be underestimated, but it is not comparable to the rabble like the Eight-Nation Alliance.

However, although the Russian army suffered heavy casualties due to the heavy blows of the People's Army, the Russian army did not retreat because of this, after all, how could the fighting nation retreat because of this small setback? Moreover, the command headquarters did not issue an order to retreat, so the Russian army, after making a slight repair, immediately regrouped, shouted "Ula," raised its rifle, and launched another attack on the position of the People's Army.
