Chapter 378: Storming Harbin!

()

After seeing Zhao Shixiao, Ma Xulun hastily cleaned up the battlefield, led the brothers of the 11th Brigade to retreat quickly, and retreated to Harbin, and after seeing Zhao Shixiao, he laughed and said: "Division commander, haha, I really didn't expect that the army of Tsarist Russia was such a waste, in less than an hour and a half of fighting, we killed more than 1,000 of them, and even their commanders were blown up into the sky, which is enjoyable." () (starter)--"

Zhao Shixiao said with a smile: "Okay, you militant, you will blow it in the future, hurry up and go down and rest, I think the main force of Tsarist Russia is almost here tonight, and the attack will be launched tomorrow morning at the latest, and there will be a big battle to be fought next, so that the brothers of the 11th Brigade can rest well." ”

Ma Xulun stood up and walked down.

Let's say that Kuropatkin was on the march, and when he saw the smoke and dust billowing in front of him, in the blink of an eye, he saw his forward troops retreating in a hurry, one by one in disarray, almost none of them were complete, supporting each other, one by one, they loved to hum, and the battle was a little unstable.

Kuropalgin was shocked and shouted: "Sergeyev, Sergeyev!" What the hell is going on? ”

At this time, Tchaikorsky was carried over, and the guy was wounded in seven or eight places, not to mention walking, and even riding a horse became a problem. ♀

Tchaikorsky reflected bitterly: "Your Excellency the Governor, Your Excellency the Governor, Sergeyev, what a bastard, did not listen to my persuasion, insisted on going his own way, and brought all the infantry brigades into the Qing army ambush circle in Huya Ridge, and was ambushed by the Qing army, our brigade suffered heavy losses, with nearly 2,000 casualties, which 'bastard' of Sergeyev was directly injured by a shell in the sky, and the bones were gone, and even I almost died there......"

Kuropatkin was furious and shouted: "Tchaikorsky, didn't I tell you, let you take a good look at Sergeyev, that kid has never been on the battlefield, you understand bullshit, you have been marching and fighting for many years, you are a famous general, how can you follow him to mess around, two thousand main forces let you be so ruined, 'bastard'!" ”

Kuropatkin looked at Tchaikorsky with pain and anger, Tchaikorsky was his favorite general, originally wanted to make him a brigade commander, but the tsar's order came down, and he wanted to appoint a 'flower' and 'play' boy as the brigade commander, so he had no choice but to let Tchaikorsky be the chief of staff and help him keep an eye on the main infantry brigade, but in addition to the problem, the brigade commander and the chief of staff died sideways and the other was seriously injured.

Kuropatkin shouted: "I will settle accounts with you when I go back, you will go to recuperate from your injuries first, and give the order to let the deputy brigade commander Serkin temporarily act as the brigade commander, and the entire brigade will temporarily rest for two days, and the main force will accelerate forward, and it must arrive in Heilongjiang before dawn tomorrow, and then launch a general attack towards Harbin!" ”

Kuropatkin rushed over with all the menshal. ()

When they arrived in Harbin, it was already the second half of the night, and they marched all the way, and Kuropatkin, knowing that the troops were too tired, ordered to rest for the night and start the attack at dawn the next day.

Zhao Shixiao of Harbin has already gotten the news that martial law has been imposed throughout the whole process, and the city defense of Harbin has been re-strengthened, and patrol personnel have been specially dispatched to take turns on duty.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the Russian army began to attack.

In half an hour, seven or eight hundred shells were dropped on Harbin, and the whole of Harbin was violently shaken by the shells, as if a violent earthquake had occurred, and the explosion of the shells set fire to some houses in the city, and the residents took refuge in the inner city one after another.

The Qing army was also unceremonious, fiercely fighting back, in the southern city of Harbin, Zhao Shixiao let the commander of the 12th Brigade Yang Mushi be in charge of command, Yang Mushi put two artillery battalions plus a regiment, all put them up, Krupp heavy artillery fired at the same time, condescendingly launched a counterattack on Tsarist Russia, Kuropatkin had been collecting information about the entire three eastern provinces before, but he really didn't know that now the Qing army's firepower configuration is so powerful, just a small Harbin, can gather dozens of ' Gate 'Krupp large-caliber heavy artillery, this is still only the defense of the southern city, if you count the other three city 'gates', then it is worth it, it is estimated that there are at least hundreds of 'gates' of heavy artillery, in fact, there are not so many, more than half of the heavy artillery of the entire Fourth Division has been concentrated here, since Tsarist Russia has carried out a key attack, then Zhao Shixiao must also have a focus on defense.

The fortifications of Tsarist Russia were too simple, Kuropatkin arrived in Harbin at night, and began to attack early the next morning, where was there any effort to build fortifications, all the Russian troops were exposed to the artillery fire of the Qing army, and the powerful artillery fire caused many Russian soldiers to be directly injured in the sky and suffered heavy losses.

Now at this time, it is too late to build fortifications, Kuropatkin ordered to organize a regiment of troops to carry out a strong attack, heavy artillery and heavy machine guns to suppress fire, thousands of Russian soldiers, howling and rushing forward, the entire sky over Harbin is full of shells and bullets 'chaotic', as soon as the battle begins, it enters a very 'fierce' state.

Tsarist Russia still rushed towards Harbin under the cover of shells, nearly 1,000 people surged up like a 'tide', the Qing army was not jealous, Yang Mushi scattered two heavy machine gun companies on the city wall, within a range of three or four hundred meters below the city, organized a powerful firepower network, Makqin suddenly sounded, the ground atmosphere was a piece of dust, the Tsarist army only reduced its holdings in less than ten minutes within the 'firing' range, and the casualties were not small, it was difficult to advance an inch, so they had to retreat one after another and withdraw from the battle.

Kuropatkin saw that the firepower and morale of the Qing army were now high, and it was difficult to make any huge breakthrough for a while, so he once again ordered the artillery regiment to launch a new round of shelling, and the city walls of Harbin were also scarred, fortunately, Harbin is a large city with a concentration of two or three hundred thousand, and the city walls are strong, if not, I am afraid that under the heavy firepower of the Tsarist artillery, it would have collapsed long ago, even so, the losses of the Qing army are not small, and the Qing army has hundreds of casualties by the afternoon, Zhao Shixiao, Ma Xulun and others finally understood the horror of the Tsarist Russian army, and the combat effectiveness of these people should not be underestimated!

The artillery battle continued until the evening, when it gradually stopped, and the two sides temporarily stopped fighting. Yang Mushi stood in front of Zhao Shixiao and Ma Xulun and said: "Division commander, Xulun, Tsarist Russia's combat effectiveness is really powerful, and its combat power is still above the Japanese. Zhao Shixiao said with a smile: "You haven't seen the melee ability of Tsarist Russia, if you only talk about the single melee ability, in the world, I am afraid that only the German army can be compared with the Tsarist Russian army, it is too cruel!" ”
