Chapter 890: Battle of the Far East - Yugong Moves Mountains

The Russian army had to rejoice that Petrovich was a young man with very good psychological quality, and when he fled back to the Russian barracks at midnight, he was not crazy. If Petrovich hadn't brought back the situation in the tunnel, Stoletov would have prepared to send another 30,000 Russian troops into the tunnel the next day to die.

"Their tunnels are connected by secret tunnels, and if we can't find the location of the tunnels, we can only crawl through the winding tunnels, and we can't find the enemy at all. The Manchurians, on the other hand, could attack our soldiers who were stuck in the tunnels and could not resist through many positions through pre-designed shooting holes! "Mikoyan did not want to explain the mistake of Stoletov's decision, but the Russian army had to face the difficulties of fighting in underground tunnels.

"The underground tunnels of the Manchurian army cannot be overcome, and their supplies will not be cut off, what is the point of us besieging them here, only to increase the chances of the main force of the Manchurian army to encircle and annihilate us?" Vasilev was a little angry, and the unfavorable progress of the war made the young general very anxious.

"What advantages do we have?" Stoletov was also in a hurry, but he was still holding on, and he wanted to find a possible solution.

"Lots of people!" Vasilev rolled his eyes, the Russian army has only had this one advantage for a long time.

"If there are more people, there will be more people! We concentrated the main forces of the second and third columns in this position and opened a gap from here! "Stoletov found a good place to concentrate the superiority of forces.

The place where Stolletov pointed was marked by the Manchurian Army as the 15th-4th Heights, and the soldiers commonly called it the Old Temple Ridge because of the remains of a church of unknown age. The terrain of Laomiaoling is steep and is not the best option for the Russian army to attack, but the front here is very open, which is suitable for the deployment of the Russian army's large corps. Moreover, because of the huge slope, the foot of the mountain can become a staging place for the Russian army, and the Manchurian Army cannot shoot directly at the Russian army at the foot of the mountain, so it can only use artillery fire or launch air strikes.

"We still can't deal with their tunnels, so that the large army rushes halfway up the mountain and becomes a target for crossfire?" Vasilev could not understand the intentions of the commander-in-chief at all.

"Immediately distribute shovels to the soldiers, immediately start digging, digging day and night, digging this place!" Stoletov came up with a very stupid, but absolutely effective solution, which was to dig up the mountain.

Vasilev and Mikoyan were all surprised, this method is too fierce, is this a play of life! They also understood why Stoletov chose the Old Temple Ridge. Although Laomiaoling is the steepest in the outer position of the main peak of the No. 15 Heights, it is the smallest one, and hundreds of thousands of people digging around the clock can really open up the situation. Moreover, after the situation of the old temple ridge is opened, it can break into the interior of the No. 15 highland and directly take the main peak of the No. 15 highland. However, in the face of the terrifying firepower of the Manchurian army, if a mountain was dug purely by manpower, the casualties would definitely be very heavy.

The Russian army has changed from a combat unit to an engineering unit, and has been forgetting to pick up the shovel day and night. The Manchurian army's firepower from all directions caused them huge casualties, but the Russian army was still struggling to support it like ants. After a day and night, the foot of the old temple ridge was dug into a platform, and it was difficult for any direct-aim firearm to attack the Russian army, except for artillery hanging and air strikes.

"At this pace, they will be able to dig up the Old Temple Ridge position in about ten days!" An Baringwu is engaged in engineering, and he naturally knows the volume of the No. 15 Plateau and the surrounding affiliated mountains, so he calculates very clearly.

"Foolish man moves mountains! My uncle, these old hairy men are also fighting! Nahai and the others also found it a little difficult to handle.

"We can't let them dig it, they really dig a road in Lao Miaoling, and the back roads of other positions are dangerous. If the outlying positions are lost, we will be in trouble if we are trapped in the lonely mountain! Bi Chengxian is very uneasy, the Russian army is doing this way, but it is very terrible, if it loses the positional barrier and allows the Russian army to rush to the front, the numerical disadvantage of the seventh division will be exposed. At present, the advance of the peripheral reinforcements is very slow, and the 7th Division must be prepared for a protracted battle, and must not be left to the hands of the Russian army.

"Let the tank regiment take the initiative to attack and beat the old man back!" Daoqin thought of a quick way, the Seventh Division, as the core descendant, has a tank regiment configuration, and it is absolutely overwhelming to attack the Russian army.

"No, no! The tank regiment is our hole card, so it's better to stay at the end and use it later. The road situation outside is unknown, and the Russian army is outnumbered, so if you get stuck outside and can't come back, it will be troublesome! "Tanks are not invincible, they are really stuck in the snow, and two bundles of firewood can force the tank crews out, and everyone thinks that it is not appropriate to use tanks easily.

"Let them in! Put it in and fight, we won't suffer! Jixing didn't want the Russian army to continue digging, but he didn't want to take the initiative either, so he came up with a third way.

"Put it in?" Everyone was a little confused.

"Give up the tunnels, let the Russian army enter the underground fortifications, and we will transfer the battlefield to the underground fortifications." Ji Xing felt that people couldn't just take advantage of it and not suffer losses, so he decided to give up some peripheral leftovers.

"Let them in so early?" Nahai and others are still a little reluctant, Amba Lingwu designed a tunnel system like a labyrinth, and the plan is to consume 100,000 Russian troops, so it is a pity that more than 20,000 people have to be abandoned. And fighting in the tunnel, it's like fighting a fool, you don't have any casualties at all, and it really hurts to give up.

"Uncle's design, there is absolutely no problem, the effect of underground fortifications is definitely better than simple tunnels, can't you still believe Uncle?" Ji Xing said it beautifully, but in fact, it was also to boost morale, and it was not okay if the tunnel did not give up, the Russian army dug the old temple ridge wildly, and soon it will be able to dig into the underground fortifications, and the secret of the tunnel will be exposed soon.

The Russian army dug in Laomiaoling for another day, and sure enough, they found the secret of the tunnel. The firing point of the 7th Division was only a small bunker, and the back was all connected by tunnels, but this tunnel was very knowledgeable. There are many secret doors and shooting holes in the tunnel, the secret door is the real passage for the Manchurian army to move itself, and the shooting holes are all sharp weapons for killing. The tunnels are all staggered and circulating, like a maze, and if you can't find the right secret door, you will fall into a circle mode if you walk a distance. After digging through the real passages, the Russian army found the real destination, and behind several passages was a huge underground city.

"These bastards hollowed out the mountain?" After opening a huge gap in the mountain, the Russian commander could not believe his eyes. In front of him were countless wide passages, all kinds of transepts, fortresses, and an underground city. The Russian army wanted to continue digging, but there was no chance, the Manchurian army began to counterattack, bullets were fired in the passage, and the Russian army fell into the blow of crossfire.

"Based on the experience here, launch a full-scale attack on the enemy's tunnels and attack their underground fortresses!" Stoletov felt that victory was in sight, and soon gave the order to learn from the experience of the old temple ridge and launch an all-out attack on the positions of the 7th Division.

Petrovich suffered great psychological trauma in the tunnels that resembled a region. Having brought back extremely important information, Petrovich thought that he could leave the battlefield and rest in the hospital in the rear. But the commander of the Russian army did not have a plan to treat him preferentially, and for the sake of saving tens of thousands of lives, Petrovich was allowed to recuperate for two days, and Petrovich was once again incorporated into the combat unit and became a member of the mountain attack ants.

In the face of bullets and artillery fire, the Russian army launched a fierce attack on the mountains attached to the No. 15 heights. On the officer's map and sand table, you can only see the tide of the Russian offensive, but Petrovich and other soldiers can only see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. After paying countless casualties, the Russian soldiers finally took control of some bunkers, and they picked up shovels in the face of raindrops of bullets, digging little by little their own hopes. Petrovich was lucky, only a third of his new company survived to the fact that the pit was dug up, and he was one of the lucky ones.

After entering the underground city, Petrovich was not as optimistic as the officers, and he missed his hometown immensely, because he knew that he would never be able to return. The underground city is just a bigger tunnel, full of traps and land, and the light is very dim, and it is also like a maze that is difficult to find a way out. The Manchurian Army set up a large number of firepower points here, because of the narrow terrain, every time the Russian army broke through a firepower point, it needed to pay extremely heavy casualties.

The Manchurian Army was like a nimble mouse, and the underground fortifications were their rat holes. They can shuttle back and forth here very flexibly, but the labyrinth in the eyes of the Russian army is a smooth road in their eyes. The elusive Manchurian Army often suddenly set up machine guns in the back of the Russian army, and it will also suddenly disappear when surrounded by the Russian army, which is a war of men and ghosts.

Petrovich's new company was wounded and wounded, and the officers were able to complete the formation of the new unit only underground. Petrovich thought it was a coincidence, but in one day he changed three troops. As a Russian soldier who survived the whole day underground, Petrovich became a god in the eyes of his comrades, because only God can survive in such a terrible environment.

"What are we doing here, to study the possibility of human evolution into mice?" When the troops broke through most of the fortifications and finally attacked under the fortress, Petrovich collapsed. The death in his eyes and the screams in his ears drove the young man crazy.

The "Petrovich ......" officer tried to appease the veteran, who had been so easy to stay, but suddenly a black hole appeared above their heads.

"Da da da ......" As the shots rang out, the officers turned into a sieve, and then the rain of bullets swept across the entire makeshift trench, and a whole company of Russian troops was spared, including Petrovich, who had always had outrageous luck.
