Volume 1 Red Tide Chapter 577 Shoot as much as you want
Outside Jinzhou.
In the never-ending rain of bullets, a few faint crows can always fly, often bringing bad omen and disappearing into the grass.
When such a faint crow flew by, the doctors and medical soldiers of the field hospital under the 12th Division all had a gloomy feeling, and the director and officers shouted: "Take your self-defense weapons, we may fight at any time!"
There were wounded lying on the ground everywhere, there were so many wounded that they even had to send some of the lightly wounded back to their combat units in order to reduce the burden on the field hospital, but the field hospital itself had reached the limit of collapse, and even without the Russians attacking, the entire hospital could no longer support it.
All the medicines, except for water and refined salt, were almost exhausted, and they didn't even know where to raise breakfast for the wounded tomorrow, but fortunately, the infantry guarding didn't know where to drag back two horses that had been shot and killed indiscriminately, so that today's food could be solved, but there were moans of the wounded everywhere.
The dean was still firing guns, and whether he was a good gun, a bad gun, a captured rifle or a rifle carried by a wounded man from the battlefield, whenever he saw someone who could move, he would give him a weapon: "Get ready for battle!"
Many doctors and health soldiers were even relieved because of the director's words, they couldn't deal with so many seriously wounded at all, and could only watch the seriously wounded die hopelessly one after another, and now it may be a good thing to be able to go to the battlefield and fight to the death.
It's just that after hearing the gunfire from the north, they feel that this is not necessarily a good thing, the entire hospital, including the wounded and sick who can pick up rifles, the total self-defense force is only more than 130 people, and there are more than 400 seriously wounded here, and even more than 100 martyrs' bodies and 60 prisoners of the Qing army temporarily retained. I collapsed first.
The dean himself was a little panicked: "Tell Senior Commander Chen to hurry up and send an infantry company to cover us, we need cover!"
However, the messenger sent out disappeared into the reckless wilderness, but it was a large group of Russian cavalry and infantry that came, and when they saw the figure of the other party appear on the battlefield. The infantry on this side has already started shooting.
Soon the double-headed eagle flag, the tricolor flag, and many more Russian soldiers and Chinese coolies could be seen through the binoculars, and they apparently also discovered the large units on the battlefield, and when they saw so many field fortifications and improvised wooden houses, as well as several flags, they immediately launched a tentative attack.
Although it was only a tentative attack, it quickly killed and wounded more than a dozen people. If it weren't for the fact that a few immobile veterans played a role in the critical time, perhaps the entire field hospital would have fallen in this round of impact.
Even so, the entire field hospital was still full of seriously wounded people shouting: "Give me a good time, please, brother!"
"Brother, give me a good time!"
"I don't want to be a drag."
There were more groans, and the dean had only fifty or sixty men left in his hands, and there was almost no force to maneuver: "We must make the painful choice." Get ready to break through!"
"Our wounded?" Someone immediately asked this crucial question: "...... they"
"We can't hold on to it ourselves, so let's fulfill their wishes!"
Just when he said this, the dean's tears fell: "No. I stay, and maybe there is some hope. β
He also knew very well that although he could stay, there was no way to change the fate of these wounded, and even the Russians could not have so many resources to protect these seriously wounded: "Vice President Liu, from now on, you are the temporary commander of the troops, and I will stay ......"
As soon as he said this, a series of sharp gunfire suddenly came from there, and the enemy troops who rushed up to attack were driven back like autumn wind sweeping away leaves. Then they saw a red flag.
"It's the Dragonlance Regiment!"
Soon they found that two infantry regiments and a number of cavalry had appeared behind them, judging from the banner, one was the famous dragon spear regiment, and the other was a unit of the first division system, estimated to be an old infantry regiment with six crossheads.
The appearance of two infantry regiments. Soon the battle line of the field hospital was stabilized, and the director even made a trip, but he came back with a face full of joy: "It's Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty, he specially approved us a hundred first-aid kits!"
In this situation, a hundred first-aid kits are not of great use at all, but this is a good intention, and the officers and men of the field hospital have regained their original morale: "Everyone go to the battlefield to see if there are any dead horses that can be dragged back, and we will feed the wounded...... Hey? β
The expressions of the officers and soldiers turned pale all of a sudden, and although they had seen many big scenes, it was the first time they had seen so many banners: "There are so many soldiers!"
In front of them, there were dozens or even hundreds of flags of the Russian army, including Cossack companies, some ordinary Russian army units, as well as artillery companies, cavalry companies, and some newly returned Chinese troops.
"How many soldiers are there? At least twenty thousand. β
The dean's voice had become trembling: "Prepare to defend Your Majesty!"
Although he did not know how many Chinese troops rushed to the battlefield, but at most there were only two infantry regiments, in fact, he had just met an old comrade-in-arms, and the two sides talked for a while, and the conclusion was that the rainbow army blocking this southbound Russian army was just four infantry battalions as the backbone of the force, and a part of the force was used to block the Ge Mengjin headquarters that counterattacked in Jinzhou City.
There were only four infantry battalions, plus four cavalry companies, but His Majesty the Emperor and the two army commanders were personally in command, and Dean Shen felt that his responsibility was extremely heavy: "We can't retreat, we must defend Your Majesty!"
On the opposite side, 17,000 Russian troops were fully deployed, which is almost half of the Russian mobilization in the Far East, and these soldiers, who had broken through thousands of versts, were also preparing for the assault with great interest.
"Russian soldiers, this is your best chance to become a general! It's all in place, just waiting for you to take your steps!"
Prince Constantine inspected his troops to the accompaniment of a military band, the soldiers in bearskin hats were in high spirits, they could sweep through any target in front of them at any time, the bayonets were clear, the breeches had been cleaned several times, each gun carried two hundred guns, and the enemy troops on the opposite side came in such a hurry that they did not even have time to build field fortifications.
They only temporarily used the terrain to build the simplest fortifications, and it only took one impact, one brave impact, to break such a defense.
Prince Konstantin suddenly jumped off the horse, and he kissed the earth: "Remember, this is the beautiful milk of Mother Russia, hit with me!"
Impact!
Start pounding!
Forward!
Compared with the impact of thousands or even tens of thousands of Qing troops, the impact of the Russian army is the impact of complete modernization and Europeanization, and the entire large army formed one after another neat company phalanxes and battalion phalanxes, slowly advancing in neat hollow phalanxes.
The footsteps were so powerful that standing in Liu Chang's position, he could feel a shock like a mountain and a sea: "Russia has used all its strength!"
"yes!" Zhou Xiuying said beside him: "Even Zhang Lexing, an old twister, was sent out. β
Liu Chang thought that he would not think of the character of Zhang Lexing except when he saw Du Jinchan, but he would actually jump out again to make trouble for himself, but Zhang Lexing's ending was very tragic.
He thought that his weight was about the same as Hong Xiuquan, so he went directly to find an infantry regiment adapted from the Twist Army, trying to rebel against this infantry regiment, but it turned out that he did not have the charm of Hong Xiuquan, Hong Xiuquan was born in a cult, and he was the embodiment of God in the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he Zhang Lexing was just a Twist Army Alliance Leader, as a result, the more than 100 people he brought were almost killed by the Twist Army with a platoon of guns, and he was directly executed by the two company commanders from the Blue Banner after he was captured.
"Yes, all the power has been exhausted!" Liu Chang looked at the queue of these gray military uniforms, and watched them transform into columns and press over.
It was the most splendid formation he had ever seen, at least 20,000 men, if not more, their officers leading the way, the drummers of the military band following closely behind, and the men and horses of the brigade seemed to have become a wall of people who would move.
On Liu Chang's side, there are only four infantry battalions and four cavalry companies of weak troops, and in addition to this, there are only a few mixed units of artillery and engineers.
"Command the troops! Well? β
Zhou Xiuying could see that Liu Chang's mood was a little too excited, she grabbed Liu Chang's hand, and then said softly: "Order our cavalry, don't go out without permission, now is not the time to capture prisoners." β
"Thank you!"
Liu Chang regained his original confidence, and he said to Qu Jie: "Order the troops, shoot as much as you want!"
"Order the troops, shoot as much as you want!"
The Russians are getting closer and closer, many of them have tasted the suffering of Crimea, they have tasted the suffering of Mini rifles, but today they are equipped with new Mini rifles purchased from Britain, France and the United States, and they are absolutely confident that even if the British and French troops in Crimea defend here, they will be able to break through with a powerful impact.
What's more, being in person is just a papier-mΓ’chΓ© line of defense.
"Troops, shoot as much as you want!"
The Rainbow Army has already started the first round of shooting! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
