After Zenyu and Mori Genshin and other front-line soldiers ate their first battlefield lunch together, the Russian army finally made a move, and they arranged artillery positions at the foot of the mountains on various heights. Looking at the Russian artillery position under his seventeenth height, Shanyu almost ordered the artillery of his brigade to open fire, because the Russian artillery position was too close to them, that is, about two thousand meters. The condescending Shanyu Brigade was able to hit the artillery positions of the Russian army, even with a Gatling heavy machine gun reequipped with smokeless*. Shanyu let his artillery aim at the artillery positions of the Russian army, but he did not give the order to fire, the boiled duck could not fly, he had to figure out the intentions of the Russian army first.

"Uh......h Woo ......" suddenly came from a very harsh sound in the air, this sound Shanyu was very familiar, it was the sound of the shells of large-caliber artillery flying in the air at high speed and rubbing against the air. The mercenaries were all thinking about whether to open fire, and Goxinga in the rear had decisively chosen to open fire, and the Guards Brigade on the high ground in the rear began to bombard the artillery positions of the Russian army with large-caliber artillery. The mercenaries used Jinxi artillery, which far surpassed the Armstrong gun in terms of power, range, accuracy, etc., but compared to the high-tech new artillery of the Guards Brigade, it was a pile of obsolete scrap metal, and the Armstrong gun was even more incomparable.

The poor Russian artilleryman, who didn't even know exactly where he fired, was beaten by his head and covered his head. Shanyu on the mountain forgot to give the order to open fire, because it was as if he had seen a wonderful artillery exhibition. With the weight of equipment and the passage of time, shells of various calibers continued to fall on the heads of the Russian army, such as 70 mm infantry guns, 80 mm mountain guns, 88 mm cannons, 100 mm mountain guns and field guns, 1005 mm * guns and light * guns, 120 mm plus howitzers, 150 mm * guns, and 202 heavy howitzers. Explosive shells exploded in the earth, anti-personnel and incendiary shells flew through the air, and the incendiary shells put everything in flames, and the artillery positions of the Russian army were soon shattered by the terrifying artillery fire.

"Attack now!" Yamashita Miryutin immediately gave the order for a general attack.

According to Ilyutin's plan, a large number of Russian infantry gathered behind the artillery position, and they were supposed to wait for the artillery to prepare for a round of fire on the mercenary's position before starting the attack, but now they can't wait. The artillery positions of the Russian army have been terrified, and the remaining artillery, although it can provide some support for the infantry, is bound to be very limited. If the infantry does not rush at this time, once the terrifying artillery of the Manchurian Army is relieved and the Russian infantry is fired a few more rounds, the Russian offensive will inevitably end before it begins, and they will face heavy losses. Without the "bait" of artillery, the artillery fire would certainly be able to greet the infantry, and the difficulty of the attack would certainly be greater than this one. Therefore, Milyutin decisively chose to continue the offensive, even if the losses will be very heavy, this is also the most favorable time for the Russian army.

Looking at the swarming Russian troops, Shanyu's scalp was a little numb, it was too much. In order to attack his position, which only has more than 600 defenders, the Russian army actually sent a reinforced regiment of more than 3,000 people, which is really terrifying. Moreover, the Russian army is densely lined up in battle lines, and the effect of the sea of people is even more obvious, and at a glance it is densely packed with human heads. Shanyu can even see hideous faces in the telescope.

"Fire!" Nervous, Shanyu must not let these terrifying guys get close to him, so he put down the binoculars, and he gave the order to fire.

The mercenary's Schneider rifle has been sold by Ma San and Big Peter, and they now use a single-shot Zhongzheng one* rifle with an effective range of 500 meters and a maximum range of up to 900 meters. But these are just paper data, not to mention 900 meters, people 400 meters away are a vague black spot in the eyes of the soldiers, and if they hit it, they will be ghostly. Therefore, the so-called effective range of this rifle is aimed at particularly large group targets, and it is a probability. When Shanyu gave the order to fire, the Russian army had just entered the effective firing range, which was not at all in line with the actual combat experience of the Manchurian Army firing at two hundred meters, but Shanyu was shocked, he couldn't wait two hundred meters at all. Fortunately, the Russian army cooperated, and more than 3,000 people stood in a group, which definitely met the definition of the cluster goal.

"Bang!" Morigenshin fired a shot at the dense crowd, and the huge recoil shook his shoulder. He didn't know if he had hit anyone, so he hurriedly pulled the bolt of the gun and loaded it with another bullet, followed by another shot. After the dozen bullets in Sen Yuanxin's hand turned into bullet casings, the Russian army, which was walking very slowly, finally got closer, no longer a vague mess, and could clearly see the people one by one.

Mori Genshin hurriedly took out a dozen more bullets from the bullet bag and put them in his hand, and then continued to raise his gun to shoot. This time he could see his target clearly, and after a few painful sensations in his shoulder, Mori knew that he had just killed at least three enemies. After that, however, Mori, like many of his colleagues, stopped shooting because they discovered something very strange. The Russian army did not continue, nor did they shoot at them, but very strangely stopped on the hillside, and the commander with a saber seemed to be sorting out their ranks. The mercenaries, who have been receiving Manchurian military education, cannot understand the behavior of the Russian army at all, and these idiots stand in the line of fire and form a team, looking for death! So many people involuntarily stopped shooting and began to look at fools stupidly.

"Keep fighting! Stupid! Kill them all! The firepower on the position suddenly weakened, and of course Shanyu in the command post jumped like thunder.

"Bang bang ......" There is no need for Shanyu to roar, the cannonballs that suddenly flew under the mountain woke up the fools who were looking at the fools. The Russian army is equipped with British Armstrong six-pounder and twelve-pounder field guns, which can fire some ovoid blasts in addition to iron balls*. These once high-tech weapons, which could be blown into forty-nine pieces, caused the cavalry of Seng Lingqin to suffer great losses, and the mercenaries suffered casualties for the first time due to the killing* of the explosion above their heads.

"Огонь (Fire)!" The commander of the Russian army, who was brandishing a saber, finally shouted the order to fire, and the mercenaries also experienced the feeling of flying bullets above their heads, and dozens of people in the Shanyu brigade lay down in an instant.

This time, there was no need to be reminded by anyone, ordinary soldiers, machine gunners, and artillerymen, after seeing the blood, all came to their senses and frantically tilted their bullets towards the enemy on the opposite side. Morigenshin's shoulder was in sharp pain, but he still reloaded as fast as he could, and then quickly aimed and pulled the trigger. Not for the honor of the samurai, not for the loyalty of the general, not for the reward of meritorious service, he just wanted to live. This is war, either you die or I live.

"Ulla!" The Russians, after a hopeless second salvo, launched a desperate charge.

The mercenaries' firepower was barely enough to stop these crazy guys, and Shanyu almost shouted the order to get on the bayonet, but fortunately, the artillery support of the Guards Brigade arrived in time, and the Russians, who were killed and wounded by more than two-thirds, finally retreated. After the battle, Morigennobu's shoulders turned black, and he couldn't remember how many enemies he had killed, but he found that Heights 17 had turned red. The Russian army used their rigid battle line tactics to give Heights 17 a very bloody name - Blood Spring Mountain.
