The daytime battlefield was unusually calm.

After a night of fierce fighting, both sides of the enemy suffered heavy losses, and it was already a nerve-wracking injury. One-third of the army suffered casualties, and if it was an ordinary battle, the two sides would definitely not be able to fight.

But now, the Russian army and Chen Han are like swordsmen fighting in a duel in the ring of life and death, without the slightest retreat, their only purpose is to kill their opponents.

So, after a calm day, when night fell again on Turinsk, the battle was again raging on all the positions of the Wehrmacht.

The fighting on the left flank was the fiercest. Pan Chang's adjutant returned to the command post one after another to report the situation to him, while Jiang Kui's report only reflected the word 'ferocious' in the word 'ferocious'.

Pan Chang knows that the first moments of a war often determine the outcome of a war. The commander-in-chief of the army will anxiously wait for the first cannon sound and the first attack, and will be anxious to know whether he has correctly judged the enemy's intentions.

It's human nature.

Even Napoleon, who was confident to the point of being conceited, would have been.

And when the situation from all sides converged, the situation on the battlefield became clearer and clearer.

It was indeed the left wing that was the first to report the emergency, but it was the right wing of Puri Town that was really threatened, and when Tzelingdelek sent someone to Pan Chang to send an urgent report, Pan Chang was startled, and he miscalculated a little. The Russian army did not know when it gathered a large number of troops and launched a fierce attack on the town of Puri.

Tzelingdelek's men consisted of only two thousand, two thousand regiments, one of which was still the troops of the Turghat Khanate. And the Russian army on the offensive has at least five thousand people, and the pressure is very high.

The right flank of the Wehrmacht, close to the Volga, was threatened. This surprised Pan Chang, who was more focused on the central main position and the left flank, but there were only 2,000 people left in his reserve, and if he did not draw troops from the central position or the left flank, after distributing 1,000 men to the right flank, then there would only be 1,000 reserves left in his hands.

That's a dangerous number.

Pan Chang is now considering whether to shrink his position and concentrate his troops on the central main position?

Although the previous left flank position was attacked by the Russian army, Pan Chang was still very confident in Jiang Kui, but now that Tselingdelek asked for help, Pan Chang was out of content.

And he also needs to take into account the central main position, the Russian army has so many troops, and the hot air balloon has been hanging high over the city of Tulinsk in the past two days, and no Russian reinforcements have arrived during the day. It's not likely to come in tonight. So how many troops can the Russian army, which has invested heavily on the left and right flanks, be deployed in the central main battlefield?

In the end, Pan Chang still did not draw the troops of the central main battlefield, and at the same time, he did not send the troops of the central main battlefield to fight back, the dark night in front of him seemed to be a giant beast waiting with its mouth open, Pan Chang had a very bad consciousness in his heart.

Bagration stood right next to Dokhturov, quietly watching the central position, until the news of the blockage of the Russian offensive on the left flank came, and nothing changed directly ahead of him - the Chinese did not risk attacking.

He rushed with 10,000 Russian troops, and his first calculation to Tulinsk ended in failure.

Yes, Bagration has already arrived in Turinsk, and even in order to avoid the eye in the sky, Bagration has been living a diurnal life since yesterday, and today he hid his army in a village twenty miles away before the fog dissipated, and when the sun set and nightfall, this Russian army hurried to the battlefield.

These 10,000 people are the biggest reason for the Russian army's bold onslaught on the left and right flanks.

Although they had no artillery, and even rockets were limited, the artillery in Dokhturov's army had already overwhelmed Tulinsk.

The central main position reported that there was very little pressure on them. The Russians seemed to be bluffing, and the gunfire from the direction of Puri on the right flank was like a burst, while the artillery on the left flank also intensified, and soon converged into a non-stop rumbling roar. It seems that the Russian army has put a lot of troops into the left and right flanks.

The intentions of the Russian army are gradually revealed, and they seem to want to open gaps on both flanks, and then outflank them in a roundabout way, threatening the dock area of Turinsk. At the same time, it is also to completely compress the defenders in the city of Tulinsk, and then seek annihilation.

And Pan Chang is more and more able to conclude that the Russian army definitely has reinforcements. No general would let his face, his chest, be hollow after his intentions have been leaked, so that the enemy can stab them in the heart?

If the Russian army does not have reinforcements, this is seriously illogical. If the Russian commander on the opposite side really didn't have reinforcements in his hands, then he was completely betting that Pan Chang would not dare to attack head-on at night, and Pan Chang would be convinced of such a big gamble.

There are constant reports that the adjutants are bringing back the left and right flanks for Bagration and Dokhturov. Some of the news is anxiety-inducing, while others are rejoicing.

The Russian troops on both sides actually invested more than 15,000 troops, and Tulinsk had no woods and too undulating terrain, so they took advantage of the cover of night, under the illumination of flares, and braved the bombardment of the defenders' artillery rockets.

Major Sidorov led a battalion of the Russian army, bravely rushed straight to the defenders' right flank position, and was driven back to the position by the defenders' artillery + rockets, and Sidorov himself was wounded. Then, a Russian major general named Sidorov, personally led a regiment of Russian troops to charge again, this time they rushed to the position and routed the defenders of the outlying positions in Puri. But Zelingdelek, who was in the rear, personally led a battalion to counterattack and drove the Russian troops off their positions. Major General Sidorov of the Russian army was killed directly in battle, and even the 'good luck' of the last Sidorov was seriously wounded.

And Tzelingdelek's horse was killed, and he himself was shocked, but luckily only one arm was injured.

Bagration received a report that the attack had been repulsed, that Major General Sidorov had been killed, and that the three regiment commanders under his command had been killed and wounded, and were speechless for a long time. He ordered General Surkov to replace Major General Sidorov with an additional regiment to again launch a fierce attack on the defenders' positions on the right flank.

The Russian army on the right flank had already overtaken the left flank, the number of infantry reached 7,000 men, and two cavalry regiments pressed for them, he concentrated more and more troops, doubled the artillery, and was determined to break through the defender's right flank in one fell swoop with a fierce attack, and then attack the docks of Turinsk.

The town of Puri is one of the closest towns to Turinsk, and if it can be captured, Russian artillery can threaten Tulinsk, which is a big threat to the defenders.

Is it easy to withdraw in complete safety, or is it easier to withdraw in the face of shells? The gains and losses of Puri Town are related to this.

It's like a chicken rib, saying it's important but it's not really important, saying it's not important, and losing it to the enemy makes people hurt. That's it!

Bagration looked at the casualty report with a gloomy face, but his will did not waver in the slightest. As the iron-blooded soul of Russia, Bagration does not know what retreat is in his character.

In the Battle of Borodino, the left flank of the Russian army under his command fought a series of fierce battles with the French army, and in the most critical battle, the two armies fought for four hours. By the end of the campaign, the elite Russian 2nd Grenadier Division under Bagration's command was only one regiment in size, while the 2nd Mixed Grenadier Division and the 27th Infantry Division had largely ceased to exist. He himself was hit by a stray bullet and fainted due to excessive bleeding, if it weren't for the fact that the Russian army's medical skills had improved a lot compared to the original time and space, Bagration might not have died of his injuries.

The four or five thousand Russian troops who were the guard troops were continued to be thrown into the left flank [right flank of the defenders] on the battlefield, and Tzelingdelek saw a large number of enemy forces gathered on the defense line of Puri Town, and had a premonition that danger was imminent. He urgently asked Pan Chang for help, and then Pan Chang transferred the only 1,000 men in his hands to the right flank. At the same time, Pan Chang began to send people across the river to contact the receiving troops on the right bank of the Volga.

Bagration sent men to the rear quickly looking for the 4th Grenadier Division under Yermolov. Alexei Petrovich Yermolov, who is only thirty-five years old this year, is a well-known young man in the Russian army, he joined the Russian army at the age of seventeen and participated in the war against Poland. During the Russo-French War of 1812, Yermolov served as Chief of Staff of the 1st Western Army and played an important role in the battles of Valudina Gora, Borodino and Lower Yaroslavets. In the battle of Borodino, he took the initiative and boldly waved his army to carry out a counterattack on the French who occupied the Rajewski fort, and repulsed the communists. After the Battle of Borodino, he served as Chief of Staff of the Combined Command of the 1st and 2nd Western Armies, and was far-sighted and resolute in carrying out Kutuzov's orders to cut off the path of Napoleon's retreat to Lithuania. Near Petit Yaroslavets forced the French army to turn back to its original ruined path, which largely contributed to the sluggishness of the march of Napoleon's army.

Now Yermolov was the commander of Bagration's First Army.

The 4th Grenadier Division is also the elite of the Russian army, and although the casualties in the Battle of Borodino are not as heavy as those of the 2nd Grenadier Division, this does not mean that it is inferior to the 2nd Grenadier Division.

The reason why Bagration insisted on taking the town of Puri was because his reinforcements were coming soon.

Bagration wanted not only to win the battle of Tulinsk, but also to win beautifully - he wanted to annihilate as much of the enemy as possible. This can boost the morale of the Russian army and also give the Chinese a deterrent.

During the dispatch of the mobilization reserves, the Russian army, after the preparation of heavy artillery fire, launched a series of attacks on the town of Puri.

Once again, Zelingdelek was put to the test. However, in his report to Pan Chang, Tzelingdelek said that if the men were in position, at least the officers and soldiers on the right flank were not killed, and the Russians would never be able to occupy the town of Puri. And he himself would rather die on the battlefield than run away.

But Pan Chang is already thinking about abandoning Puri Town, the Russians are desperate, but he has already done the task of stopping the Russian army for three days. Then there is no need to leave everyone in Turinsk, Astrakhan is much better defended than here.

"Concentrate all the armies in the central main position!"
