The current situation, on the one hand, the Russian army has taken the No. 23 Heights as the core, and the defense line of the mercenary division has been shattered, while on the other hand, the Guards Brigade has attacked the henchmen of the Russian army. The Guards Brigade simply relied on the fact that the Russian army had to maintain the front, and forced the Russian army in a very dangerous way, and if the Russian army broke up, tens of thousands of Russian troops would pass through the gaps in the positions and rush east of Obo.

The camp of more than 80,000 Russian troops is very large, and it is impossible for the Guards Brigade to block them, so they can only rely on continuous attacks, forcing the Russian army to shrink its defense. Therefore, as long as the offensive of the Guards Brigade is slightly halted, the Russian army can immediately open the gap again from other directions, and Goxingak will not have additional forces to arrange the defensive line again. As long as the Russian army has one more offensive, Goxinga will have no chess.

As soon as the telegram ordering the ministries to urgently move closer to the valley was transmitted, the ministries began to run towards the valley like crazy. These division commanders and brigade commanders were also well-educated people with a good military education, and a casual glance at the map showed how dangerous the current situation was. They are one step late, Guoxing Adu may be in danger, how dare they run without playing with their lives. The 6th Division, having left behind all its heavy equipment, was the first to rush to the battlefield. They were already close to each other, and if there had not been heavy snowfall, they would have arrived long ago.

The arrival of the 6th Division greatly relieved the pressure on Goxinga, and after they attacked the Russian army from the flank and rear, the Russian army had to retreat to the camp and turn to a full-scale defense. At midnight, the 11th Division also rushed to the battlefield and completely surrounded the Russian army, which still had hope of breaking through. Guoxinga, who almost came to the front line, finally stabilized. It's a pity that although the Russian army was surrounded, it was difficult to break through the Russian army's defense line for a while. In order to cover up the remnants of the tunnels, the Russian army built a large number of trench fortifications inside and out, and now these fortifications have become turtle shells of the Russian army. The 6th and 11th Divisions, which had abandoned all heavy equipment, were now very weak in attacking fortifications, and it was difficult for the artillery only close to the Guards Brigade to open the Russian defenses.

"Wait! Wait for the heavy equipment of the 6th and 11th Divisions to come up and then attack! "After climbing the ruined No. 23 heights, Goxinga made the decision to suspend the offensive after observing the Russian defense line up close.

"Rudnev's side?" Xing Cong was very anxious, at this time, he should have attacked regardless of casualties, otherwise Rudnev behind him might not be able to make trouble.

"The 4th and 7th divisions are the closest to Rudnev, let them rush over! Send another telegram to Acton, let him pay attention to the remnants of the enemy to the east, and strengthen the defense of the rear! Gohin had lost hope, and by this time Rudnev had crossed the Udi River and was running towards Temple Street.

"What other cavalry brigades are there in the Second Cavalry Division, do you want to cross the river and search for them?" Xing Cong still didn't give up and wanted the cavalry to pursue Rudnev.

"With such a heavy snowfall, the cavalry can't run either, so let them march moderately. The 2nd Cavalry Division went directly to Temple Street to support Acton, and the rest of the cavalry brigades were cruising east of the Udi River and waiting. The two brigades that were transferred before didn't need to come over, let them deploy on the spot along the way, intercept Rudnev as much as possible, and if they couldn't stop it, they would go to guard the railway behind the Second Army Group. "Goxinga's recent dispatch is very chaotic, and several troops are running aimlessly on the road.

After arranging the tasks of the various departments, Guo Xinga had to comfort the poor mercenary division. The Russian army launched an offensive in the early morning, and the battle began to heat up, and by about one o'clock at noon, the Guards Brigade entered the battlefield, and the situation was only slightly eased, and by the time the Sixth Division arrived to stabilize the situation, it was already evening. The mercenary division carried through the whole morning on its own, and then, with the assistance of the Guards Brigade, held out for an afternoon, and the battle could be described as extremely hard, and the casualties were very heavy.

After a whole day of hard fighting, the casualties of the mercenary division exceeded 80%, and Asano Sohide directly became the captain of the wing again, and the remnants of his mercenary division were able to make up a wing. More than half of the formations of each wing have been lost, and most of the units that can barely retain the formation are only two or three big cats and kittens. Not only did the soldiers suffer heavy losses, but so did the officers. Below Asano Munehide, almost all officers at all levels hung up their lotteries, officers below the squadron level were almost completely lost, and only one-third of the brigade and wing levels remained.

Now that the 6th Division, the 11th Division and the Guards Brigade have besieged the Russian regiments in the camp, the mercenary divisions can finally withdraw and recuperate. The wounded soldiers, whose eyes were glazed, sat with each other in a pile of east and west, they were no longer tired and in pain, but sat like walking corpses. Officers such as Asano and Zenyu are still busy reorganizing their troops, so as not to turn the troops that have lost their formation into a flock of loose sheep. At the same time, it is necessary to assist in the dispatch of medical personnel to treat the wounded soldiers who have become unconscious. Asano and the others were also injured, but at this time, they couldn't rest yet, they still had too many things to do.

"Asano-kun, hard work!" Guo Xing'a looked at Asano Sohide with a head of gauze, and he also felt a little guilty in his heart, this time he really went too far.

"General, I'm incompetent, I can't hold the line!" When Asano saw Guo Xing'a coming, he hurriedly packed up his clothes, and then gave a military salute to Guo Xing'a very formally. Although the defense line of the mercenary division was not completely broken, most of it was also lost, and Asano definitely failed to fulfill his promise.

"You're doing a great job!" Guo Xing's heart was also a little unbearable.

"It's all our incompetence, the casualties of the soldiers...... Woo woo woo ...... "Asano was a little incoherent, and after seeing Goxinga, his heart was so agitated that he endured it and endured it and finally cried.

"None of the mercenary divisions will be canceled, and after returning to Dalian, you can immediately start recruiting new soldiers. In the future, there will be no more differential treatment in terms of weapons among mercenary divisions, and you will be equipped with whatever the main force is equipped with. Asano didn't explain it, and Guo Xing'a didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only make some money and say.

"General Xie, thank you, General, I thank you for these samurai who died in battle!" Asano knelt on the ground and began to kowtow frantically, the formation of the army could protect this kind of thing, Asano didn't dare to think about it at all. Being able to get the same equipment as the main force has always been the dream of the mercenaries.

"People are like samurai, flowers are like cherry blossoms! Perishing in the most brilliant moment, they are not in vain! I'll ask Taal to build them a shrine in Dalian, and you can compile the list of soldiers and worship them when you go back!" Guo Xing'a knew that the little devil was very willing to give his life for a tablet, so the guilty Guo Xing'a was ready to give them a place to worship the tablet, of course, he ignored the issue of bereavement.

"By the way, don't call mercenaries and mercenaries in the future, I'll give you a new name - Sakura Division! Sakura's division is very suitable for you! Guo Xing'a's guilt passed quickly, so he hadn't forgotten it and teased the Japanese.

"General Xie!" Asano was even more excited this time, and even the sluggish soldiers came to their senses.
