The Second Brigade was in Hohhot for half a month, and this was the first sortie, and the soldiers who had long been suffocated rushed to the Russian army's position with a roar. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]-[a lot of good]
Under the suppression of artillery fire, the second brigade soon rushed to the forward position of the Russian army, Sergezov saw that the momentum was not good, his artillery position was completely dumb, and the heavy machine gun position was completely suppressed by the opponent's mortars and heavy artillery, and there was no power to fight back at all, if the revolutionary army was allowed to rush straight into his position, this battle would not be easy to fight!
Sergeizov hurriedly mobilized his two regiments to press on the front of the position, trying to use 'hand-to-hand' combat to kill the charge of the revolutionary army, and the Russian troops of the two regiments rushed up with bright bayonets.
It's just that Sergeizov didn't expect that although this group of revolutionary troops did not have submachine guns, they still had countless grenades, and the Russian army's forward had not yet met the revolutionary army, and the revolutionary army's grenades had already flown far away, hundreds of grenades exploded at the front of the position, blowing up the dense Russian formation, and hundreds of Russian troops fell in a pool of blood.
When the Russian army was in a dilemma, the second 'wave' grenade also came as scheduled, according to Zhang Xiaohuai's meaning, that is, to blow up all the courage of the Russian army with powerful firepower!
Two grenades, nearly a thousand, exploded on the Russian positions in a short period of time, and the strong explosion sounded a cloud of smoke, and the Russian troops were constantly blown down or blown away, Sergeytsov's heart sank suddenly, knowing that only two regiments could not suppress the enemy's attack.
Sergeizov shouted: "The 17th and 18th regiments will go up with me, we must beat the other side back, ensure the safety of the position, quickly, order the seventh regiment to recapture the artillery position in the shortest possible time!" Half an hour, if you still can't take the artillery position, let the regiment commander raise his head to meet! ”
Immediately afterwards, the strength of two more regiments rushed forward, the front of the Russian army position in front was already full of Russian soldiers and soldiers of the revolutionary army, the fifth division is the absolute main force in the Chinese revolutionary army, even if it is fighting bayonets, it is not under the Russian army at all, the "spirit" soldiers roared and mixed with the Russian army, and the revolutionary army soldiers in the rear still continued to throw grenades!
Clusters of gunpowder smoke continued to explode in the ranks of the Russian army, killing and injuring the lives of the Russian army, and also snatching the morale of the Russian army, which had just recovered.
On top of the artillery position of the Russian army, a regiment of Russian troops pressed up again, and the guard battalion at this time had not yet completed the blasting task, Zhang Fengqi looked at the dense Russian troops not far away, and shouted: "A company, give me resistance, no matter how much pressure, you must nail me to the front!" Two, three, speed up! ”
More than 100 soldiers of the guard battalion were at the forefront, and the submachine guns kept strafing, but they still couldn't suppress the charge of the Russian army, after all, it was not realistic for a company to withstand the strength of a regiment. say
In just seven or eight minutes, the casualties of the first company have exceeded two-thirds, and the distance between the Russian army and them is less than fifty meters, Zhang Fengqi personally commanded the battle in front, and the burly Zhang Fengqi held two 'strong' submachine guns to 'shoot' the shot, and the strong recoil shook him so that the corners of his mouth were bloodshot, and he still fought to the death!
At this time, a soldier ran over and shouted: "Battalion commander, we have completed the task, hurry, prepare to retreat!" “
Zhang Fengqi roared: "******, what to withdraw, the second and third companies are all on top for me!" Withstand the attack for another half an hour! ”
Zhang Fengqi knew that if one of his battalions was nailed here, he would be able to contain a large number of Russian troops, just to create an opportunity for the main force to attack the Russian army's position. The Russian army turned around and rushed back to the front of the position, and the Russian army must not be given such a chance!
The two companies also pounced, and more than 300 people relied on the Russian army's artillery trucks as a cover and began to take turns to 'shoot' attacks, seeing that the Russian army continued to rush to the front, they took the remaining grenades, and greeted the Russian army again.
The two sides engaged in a fierce 'exchange' on the artillery positions.
The battle lasted for a whole hour, and the guard battalion suffered heavy casualties under the powerful offensive of the Russian army, with less than 150 people left, and all the ammunition of the submachine guns had been exhausted, so they could only pick up the infantry on the artillery position to respond.
Lian Kun, the deputy battalion commander, shouted: "Battalion commander, you can't fight anymore, if you continue to fight, our brothers will all die!" ”
Zhang Fengqi was full of unwillingness, and shouted: "Order, let the brothers pick up the submachine guns on the ground and take them away, and destroy everything that cannot be taken away, and withdraw!" ”
The artillery positions eventually fell back into the hands of the Russian army with the retreat of the guard battalion.
It's just that the excitement of the Russian army didn't last even a minute, because, almost all the infantry guns were damaged by grenades, and only a few 'guns' of heavy artillery remained, which were barely able to 'fire', and an artillery regiment completely lost its powerful combat power!
The regiment commander Xierko 'wanted' to cry without tears, and it was not easy to snatch back the artillery position, what is the use, without artillery?
In the dark night, the battle outside the victory ditch was 'fierce' to the extreme, and there was fire everywhere, reflecting it as if it were day.
The two sides continued until the eve of dawn, when the Russian army, which had been attacked before and after, lost the help of artillery and could no longer support it, and was finally fully broken through the position by the Fifth Division.
Sergeizov was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do, his artillery positions had been completely paralyzed, and how could he be someone's opponent just by virtue of the infantry in close combat?
Sergeizov shouted: "Order, the 12th Division retreats to the west and moves closer to the 10th Division!" ”
The 12th Division retreated completely, and the 5th Division was in hot pursuit, who doesn't understand the truth of beating the water dogs, and it is necessary to defeat all the Russian troops in one go in order to completely stabilize the results of the battle!
Sergeizov led the army to retreat all the way to the north of the victory ditch, and the 10th Division leaned together, at this time the 10th Division also went through a series of hard battles with the 1st Cavalry Division, under the strong impact of the cavalry division, the damage was serious, Yevgeny even had the heart to die, this group of cavalry almost forgot what fatigue is, in the case of the difference in strength between the two sides by nearly half, continuous charges, resulting in more than 5,000 casualties of the Russian 10th Division.
After a day and a night of 'melee' fighting, the cavalry division lost at least nearly 3,000, and Bagan, whose eyes were on fire, was eager to swallow all the 10th Division in one go, but after all, it was an integrated infantry division, and in addition to the serious losses of the artillery regiment, the other losses of the 10th Division were very slight, and they could not be eaten by the cavalry division in one breath.
The two divisions merged together and resisted together until the sky was bright, before the pursuers of the fifth division were repulsed, and outside the city of Hohhot, there was a brief silence, but a more violent outbreak was accumulated!
