Chapter 465: Three-Way Siege The End of the Russian Army
In the early morning of the next day, the disgraced Duan Ziyu finally led the blue wolves back to Shanhaiguan.
The carried away Duan Ziyu had to stay for a while, so that the Russian army could taste the taste of grenades, but was bombarded by the Russian artillery, fortunately they were all experienced in a hundred battles and dodged early, otherwise, there would definitely be heavy casualties, even so, several blue wolves were still injured by the flying stones, fortunately there was no big problem, but everyone was covered in mud and embarrassed, which scared Duan Ziyu into a cold sweat.
Back in the headquarters, Duan Ziyu saw Zhang Yi and told Zhang Yi about the battle report, Zhang Yi looked at the gray-faced Duan Ziyu, frowned, and asked: "Ziyu, why are you so embarrassed, have you regressed so much when you haven't been in the blue wolf for a year?" ”
Duan Ziyu was startled, and hurriedly said: "Where, our ability is personally trained by your old man, and whoever regresses will not be able to regress in our master's turn." ”
Zhang Yi asked, "Then why are you so embarrassed?" ”
Duan Ziyu's face was bitter, and he obediently told the matter again, Zhang Yi said angrily: "Bastard, as a senior commander, you don't even have such a little concentration, you blindly love war, your further study in the Martial Arts Academy is in vain;!" ”
Duan Ziyu hurriedly begged for mercy: "Instructor, instructor, don't take it as an example, I know it's wrong, the big war is ahead, you just spare me......"
Zhang Yi snorted coldly and said, "Forget it, nothing happened to everyone, otherwise I won't be able to spare you, reflect on it!" ”
Duan Ziyu nodded again and again. [. Lots of good]
Zhang Yi said: "As you said, at least more than half of the grain and grass of the current Russian army have been burned by us, and they will definitely not sit idly by." A reaction will be made in a day or two. ”
Duan Ziyu replied: "Instructor, they are now tightly surrounded by our three armies, I think they will definitely find a way to break through, they will definitely not fight hard, that Linevich is a cunning guy, and he will definitely not fight blindly." ”
Zhang Yi nodded and said: "If he breaks through, he will never dare to fight Shanhaiguan, Yuan Shikai's side, the faster he runs, the faster he dies, and when he runs to the south of the Yangtze River, don't think about going back to Siberia, so the direction of their breakthrough, 100%, is on Song Qing's side, immediately send a telegram to Song Qing, asking him to be careful against the breakthrough of the Russian army, and he must pierce his pocket to death; gave Yuan Shikai an order, ordering his Wuwei Right Army to secretly move closer to Song Qingbu tonight, and be sure to cover the eyes of the Russian army; Ziyu, immediately reorganize the Seventh Division, ready to go out of the city to pursue at any time, the front army will carry our mortars, heavy machine guns, all on board, the rear army with heavy artillery, and then follow, echelon march; This time, we must kill all the Russian troops! ”
Duan Ziyu was taken aback and said, "Instructor, don't you really want to eat them all in one breath, they have 30,000 people, and it is too difficult." ”
Zhang Yi sneered: "Ziyu, I dare to say that at the earliest tonight, at the latest tomorrow morning, they will definitely break through, and they will definitely not drag it to the point of cutting off food and grass." And although the river on the side of Song Qingbu has frozen, he is afraid that it will be difficult to bear the weight of heavy artillery, and if he wants to break through quickly, giving up heavy weapons such as heavy artillery is the only way out. So they don't have heavy weapons, they're our live targets! In this battle, I just want to bully and bully them, these old hairy people! ”
Duan Ziyu nodded frequently and said, "Okay, instructor, I'll go down and prepare." ”
At this time, Linevich also held an emergency meeting at the headquarters, Linevich looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, our most critical moment has come, we could have relied on grain, grass and ammunition, and held on for at least ten days, but now our grain and grass have been burned more than half, and it is enough for us to use for three or four days at most, we will definitely not be able to support it, Zhang Yi's army has retreated, so I decided that the army will have a good rest today, and at four o'clock in the morning tomorrow, our whole army will launch the strongest attack on Song Qing's army, We must break through the defense line of Song Qingbu, so that we can have a glimmer of life;! ”
When Linevich was arranging, there was a sound of artillery outside, and the entire Russian position was already boiling.
Since Zhang Yi guessed that Linevich was going to run, he would definitely not give them time to rest, Song Qing's army, Yuan Shikai's army and Zhang Yi's seventh division began to unfold towards the Russian positions from three directions, attacking the most fierce artillery battle since the customs of the battle, 40,000 troops, hundreds of Krupp heavy artillery, fired together, and hit the Russian position.
The sky was full of flying shells, like locusts, flying towards the position of the Russian army, in an instant, the position of the Russian army was already boiling, the entire position was blown up by the artillery of Zhang Yi's troops to smoke billowing, pieces of mountains and rocks, land was blown up in the sky, the Russian army has never suffered such a ferocious attack since entering Inner Mongolia, the continuous Russian army was injured in half the sky, stumps and broken arms flew around, too miserable!
A cavalry battalion commander rushed into the barracks and shouted: "General, general! Oh no, on the Shanhai Pass, there are also Qing troops in the southwest and southeast, and they have launched a large-scale artillery bombardment against our army, and we have suffered heavy casualties, and the captured artillery is simply difficult to parry, and the brothers will not be able to withstand it! ”
Linevich stood up from his seat and strode out of the command headquarters, only to see that the position outside was already in chaos, and the Russian army was scurrying around on the position, avoiding the attack of the Qing army.
Linevich yelled: "Quick, concentrate all the firepower, attack Song Qingbu, we have to think of which direction to break through, the harder we hit Song Qingbu, the more beneficial it will be for our breakthrough!" ”
The Russian army concentrated all its heavy artillery and infantry artillery in the direction of Song Qing's defense and began to return fire.
It's just that he can block Song Qing's attack, but Yuan Shikai and Zhang Yi's attacks in the two directions are the most ruthless, lasting nearly a day of artillery bombardment, and the Russian army suffered heavy casualties, and in one day, there were nearly 3,000 casualties, and countless casualties on the horses.
It wasn't until dusk that Yuan Shikai's army's firepower stopped; On the Shanhai Pass, the Seventh Division was condescending and fought until night, and the Russian army, which originally wanted to rest, was exhausted by a day's artillery battle, and the people were panicked, and they wanted to flee from this hellish battlefield immediately. Linevich's heart was heavy and he said: "Pass the order, our plan will not change, tomorrow at four o'clock in the morning, the army will break through on time!" At this time, Zhang Yi and other armies were already in full battle, waiting for the final decisive battle! (Dissertation College)
