Chapter 416: The Fall of the Far Eastern Hubei Army (2)

The huge formation of the First Group Army in the Far East of the Hubei Army advanced hundreds of kilometers to the north, but the left and right flanks and behind were fiercely attacked by the various units of the Huaxia Army that came from afar, and they could only desperately defend to cover the advance of the assault troops to the north.

At this time, Liang Kunri, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Theater of Operations, and Peng Xinghan, chief of staff, personally took airships to the sky above the battlefield to observe the positions of the enemy and us.

Looking down from the air, we can see that the Hubei army's position has formed a huge triangle, the apex is a sharp apex, the left and right sides are two or three kilometers wide to more than 20 kilometers, and the distance between the northern apex and the south bottom is thirty or forty kilometers.

An accompanying officer sighed: "The Hubei army has set up a long snake formation!" ”

Peng Xinghan nodded: "Yes, as long as we intercept it in front and cut it off in the back, this will be a dead snake that has been cut into several sections!" ”

Liang Kunri didn't agree with their opinions: "Long Snake Formation, it's still early, the emperor wants us to destroy the enemy at the lowest cost, we have to think of more ways." In my opinion, we must let go of the blocking positions in the north, let the Hubei army advance quickly northward, slow down the pursuit behind the back, reduce the intensity of the flank attack on both sides, and make the length of the Hubei army's position longer, so as to create our last chance to annihilate the Hubei army, so as to reduce the casualties of our general attack. ”

"But will this Hubei army fight according to our intentions?"

Peng Xinghan agreed: "If Alekseev, this old boy, doesn't attack according to our intentions, there is no other way!" ”

"Okay, this is hard work The chief of staff immediately formulated a specific plan and implemented it as soon as possible!"

When the Huaxia Army was dispatching troops, Alekseev tried his best to urge the generals on the front line to speed up the attack, and he had already personally shot and killed four officers who had failed to attack, which made everyone in the Hubei army endanger themselves.

In the frantic attack, the Goryeo cannon fodder has been completely frightened, and many people feel that instead of attacking the Huaxia Army's position, it is death, not attacking is death, and resistance is death, so it is better to resist, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, so they launched a rebellion.

Alekseev ordered that all the resisting Goryeo cannon fodder should be executed, and the Goryeo cannon fodder next to him should be executed together.

When the Hubei army carried out the order, they found that the Goryeo people resisted a little and immediately executed them, and under the attack of the Huaxia army and the Hubei army, a large number of Goryeo cannon fodder died.

At this time, thousands of airships of the Huaxia Army flew into the sky above the Hubei Army, pulling down black bombs and carrying a sharp whistling sound, setting off an earth-shattering explosion.

This is the Chinese army bombing airships dropping 500 kg and 1,000 kg bombs to bombard the positions of the Hubei army.

At the place of the explosion, countless mushroom clouds and orange-red flames were set off, carrying countless mud and human stumps thrown into the sky, and then countless bombs exploded into a large area, covering the sky over the entire Hubei army's position, which could not be dispersed for a long time.

This blew up countless Hubei troops and Goryeo cannon fodder, and more Hubei troops and Goryeo cannon fodder who were not directly killed were blown up in the deafening explosion frenzy, and were bled by the powerful explosion wave, and the earthquake was alive and dead, and those who were not shocked to death were mostly deaf or temporarily lost their hearing, and there were many weak-willed people who were frightened into mental disorders.

Alekseev and Rinevich were in the fortified underground headquarters, and when the bombardment took full precautions, everyone opened their mouths wide and covered their ears with their hands, and the loose earth caused by the explosion fell from the roof of the bunker, filling the air inside the bunker with mud and dust.

However, there were still two young officers in the command of the Far Eastern Front, who could not stand the strong pressure of the bombardment, and broke down on the spot, one of them began to cry, and the other took out a bottle of vodka with a smile and drank it.

Alekseev was furious: "Drag it out, it's dead!" ”

However, when the guards rushed forward, the crying man pulled out a revolver and opened fire indiscriminately into the crowd.

Alekseev and Rinevich were so frightened that they quickly fell to the ground, and the man opened fire in quick succession, hitting four people before being killed by the guards who drew their pistols.

Taking advantage of this chaos, the grinning drunkard laughed and rushed out of the bunker, causing Alekseev's guards to chase him nervously.

After dealing with the two psychoses, Alekseev sat on the ground with a disgraced face, gasping for air.

At this time, the ground shelling of the Huaxia Army began again.

Although most of the shells fired by shelling are shells weighing tens of kilograms and more than 100 kilograms, and their power is far less powerful than the aerial bombing of bombs weighing hundreds of kilograms or even thousands of kilograms, the ability to indicate the target at the ground observation post makes the shelling target accurate, and the artillery causes casualties, which is more deterrent than the large-scale bombardment.

When the Hubei army personnel were running wildly, the snipers on the Huaxia army's position seized the opportunity and fired one after another to snipe the target, and many novices also went to the battlefield to snipe the enemy for the first time under the leadership of the master.

Countless Hubei army and Goryeo cannon fodder have achieved the growth of snipers in the Huaxia Army with their lives in this battle.

But strangely, the Huaxia Army did not take the opportunity to launch a full-scale general offensive to break through the positions of the Hubei army.

The whole Hubei army was in a panic, no one thought about why, and no one could do anything about it, in fact, nothing could be done, it was deliberately done by Liang Kunri, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Theater of the Huaxia Army.

According to the order of the Chinese Emperor Hu Zhen, the Far Eastern Front was to be eliminated at the minimum cost.

And Liang Kunri judged that although the position of the Hubei army was now full of holes after heavy bombing and artillery bombardment, if a general attack was launched at this time, it would still have to pay a heavy price.

Therefore, Liang Kunri decided to continue the heavy bombing and artillery bombardment for several days, and the Huaxia Army weakened the Hubei army to the most powerless time with this long-range combat method with almost zero casualties, and then launched a general offensive to annihilate the main force of the Second Army in the Far East in one fell swoop.

However, the Huaxia army did not attack, and the Hubei army quickly packed up its position, and after dark, concentrated the elite again, forcing the poor Goryeo cannon fodder to launch waves of attacks on the Huaxia army's position, using human lives to force the Huaxia army to retreat and advance to the north.

That night, the Huaxia army would still give up a few kilometers of defense line, let the Hubei army taste a little sweetness, and continue to exchange more lives for a little space to advance.

The chief of staff of the Hubei army, Rinevich, is an excellent chief of staff, and he knows that this is likely to be a trap of the Huaxia army, but at this time, he has no choice but to follow Alekseev's request to fall deeper and deeper into this huge trap little by little.

However, Alekseev used the flames of today's bombing to burn off a little of his beard, and cut off his usual proud beard with a few scissors.

No one dared to say anything about Alekseev, but he knew in his heart that maybe he needed to change into the clothes of an ordinary soldier at a critical moment and flee back to Moscow overnight. (To be continued.) )
