1648 has no choice
Later generations have analyzed and speculated about the battle of Jiangxin Island, but most historians have questioned Fargiev's command ability. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The situation on the battlefield was so unfavorable that they even launched a dense charge, and even after the volunteers showed four Gatlings, they did not repent, and this practice of taking the lives of soldiers as child's play was unanimously condemned by later generations.
However, historians and military researchers, they are just looking for answers in cold materials, they can look at the goose feathers and snow outside the window in a dry heating room, make themselves a cup of hot cocoa, and then look for historical answers in words and data.
War is like a game in the eyes of such people, and even in the computer age, you can command thousands of troops to go on a rampage with the movement of a mouse.
But the reality of war is 10,000 times more cruel than they think, and all the judgments made by Farjiev are actually forced to that point by the general trend.
Who let him meet the opponent is Xiao Letian, a person who is most proficient in judging the general trend, and the ending is naturally doomed.
There is no choice, at this moment in Fadeev's mind only this sentence has been floating up, the army has run out of food and grass at this moment, there is no supply of weapons and ammunition, and the soldiers can only rely on sabers to rush up and fight the enemy hand-to-hand.
Looking at the surrounding fires, you can imagine that the Chinese within a radius of a hundred miles have already fortified the wilderness, and now even if they want to rob, they can't find the target.
If you want to retreat from the army, there is no possibility, the way they came has already been robbed of the way they came, and if you want to go back at this moment, you are looking for death.
Not only that, but there are also 20,000 vanguard troops in Vladivostok, and the Qing State has closed the border, and it is delusional for them to enter the territory of the Qing State through the Ussuri River in Gogol.
In addition, the weather is gradually warming now, and the dimension of the upper reaches of the Ussuri River is very low, and I am afraid that the river has already opened at this moment.
The root of all mistakes is to underestimate the enemy, and Fadeev should not divide his troops, he always thought that those volunteers were a group of thugs, and he never believed that these Chinese would have such combat effectiveness.
In his heart, he even felt that the more than 20,000 people in Gogol and the more than 10,000 people in Vladivostok would be enough, and it would not be easy for the 30,000 army to quell a rebellion.
It really shouldn't be, if Fadeev didn't divide his troops but 50,000 troops marched together, pressing over like Mount Tai, he wouldn't be so passive, at least he could change his whole body and retreat.
That would at least give His Majesty the Tsar an explanation, although the battle was lost, but the elite Cossack regiment was not injured, as long as the supplies were sufficient, it was very simple to mobilize tens of thousands of infantry in the summer and strive for seventy or eighty thousand troops to pacify a Far East.
However, Fagiev, who was too light of the enemy, divided his troops, and the life and death of the 20,000 vanguard troops were unknown, so he had to rescue these young men, and if the political enemies and bureaucrats in Moscow knew that they had given up 20,000 lives, they would probably shoot themselves directly.
The situation has eroded to this point, there is nothing to say, only to rush up regardless of casualties, no matter how many people are killed in battle, as long as they rush over and join forces with Gogol and others, then there will be as many troops as there are.
If you can fight, you can fight, and if you can't fight, you will move to the territory of the Qing State, and it is really not possible to cross the Changbai Mountain garrison on the border of the Korean State is also a way, and I believe that as long as you can keep your vitality, the negotiations of the diplomats will be easier in the future.
I have to say that this is the most correct choice made by Fadeev in the face of such a predicament, and in this predicament, this is the only way to die.
Break through to the south bank of the Amur River, move south with the rapid mobility of the cavalry, join forces with the vanguard, and then don't care about anything, as many people can be rescued.
After that, the remnants of the division quickly went south and went to the Qing country to kill in the territory, such a large Qing country could not be full of diehards like Hunchun, as long as they encountered one or two soft-boned armies, they would be saved.
robbed him of a few rich counties, and then hid them in Changbai Mountain with supplies, and if he couldn't do it, he hid them in North Korea, which was weaker than the Qing Dynasty.
As long as they hold their ground, diplomats will have room for maneuver, and what they can't get on the battlefield will be taken from the negotiating table, which is the only way to survive in the dilemma of death.
Fadeyev's eyes blurred, tears in his sockets distorted his vision, the carnage ahead continued, and now it was the third wave of attacks, and the brave lads were undaunted and braved to cross the mountain of corpses.
Ulla's roar shook the river, and the saber waved with cold light!
The Chinese on the opposite side are already a little chaotic, they have killed and killed their soft hands, one of the four Gatlings has failed, and the vanguard of the cavalry has landed on the land of Jiangxin Island.
"Well done, boys...... Disrupt their rhythm...... Reserves......!
The Cossacks really lived up to their prestige in history, leaving 2,000 lives on this ice, and the follow-up troops were still fearless and rushed forward.
Two thousand men and horses piled up together was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and even the height overshadowed the Chinese trenches on the opposite side, blocking the rain of bullets.
The fallen Cossacks dragged their wounded bodies and hid in the pile of corpses, and the corpses of their comrades actually formed a trench to protect them from shooting.
Pull the bolt, load the bullet, pull the trigger...... The Bodan rifle also had a high accuracy at a range of 100 meters, and the casualties of the opposing Volunteers' positions began to climb rapidly.
"Fire, fire...... Those who did not have horses were hidden in the pile of corpses...... Continue to fire and suppress Chinese......"
"Cavalry speed up, leave us alone...... Hurry over our heads! Hurry up and ......."
One after another, the cavalry with the shouts of "Ula, Ula......" finally received close fire support, and finally the vanguard broke through the fire network of the volunteers, and even the men and horses directly knocked over the barbed wire and rolled into the trenches.
"Kill!" the drunken Cossacks picked up their sabers in the trenches and rolled up a bloody storm, and even the struggling horses were kicking over countless ammunition boxes.
One Cossack after another rushed into the trenches, and the most brutal white-knuckle combat began!
"Sapper shovels! Everybody sapper shovels! Don't fucking use bayonets, that's useless......"
In the narrow trenches, short sapper shovels were much more useful than bayonets, and the red-eyed volunteers slashed at the enemy's head.
With a half-pull of the skull, the skull was chopped off, and the plasma and ** mixed together and rolled out, but the dying Cossack also stabbed the saber into the chest of the volunteers, and the two strong men fell to the ground with a bang, and the blood fused together.
"Fight! Suppress the enemy! What about our snipers? Bastard Ma Hui, Dog's Day Ye Qiu...... Why don't you shoot yet!"
Bang bang bang...... In the rear of the battle line, a muffled sound was heard, and the snipers hiding in the canopy finally opened fire.
