Rumyantsev and the officer behind him couldn't help but look at each other. After they realized this, their first reaction was not to be angry and swear to fight the Wehrmacht to the end, but a tired expression appeared on their faces, deeply tired, and they looked at each other.

Since the rockets in the hands of the Russian army have been depleted, the morale of the entire army has dropped sharply in the past two days. The faces of the soldiers and the middle and lower rank officers showed a look of despair, which made Rumyantsev feel uncomfortable.

Rumyantsev is not an ordinary hairy guy, he has rich experience in war and leading troops, everything does not need to be said with his mouth, as long as he sees it with his eyes, he will understand.

Among the 20,000 Russian troops, there are still Russian soldiers who are willing to die for Rumyantsev, but on the whole, their fighting spirit has dropped a lot compared to when they were besieged.

All the Russian soldiers were in despair. Because they know very well how powerful the rockets are, and they know that if the Chinese attack them, they will have only a 'dead end'.

Without the support of rockets, they cannot withstand the bombardment of rockets + the attack of the Chinese.

"Do you want to surrender?" Rumyantsev asked himself with a wry smile. But he really doesn't want to surrender, Rumyantsev, who was born in a famous family, values honor very much.

So, will today's night be the last night he will see in his life?

In the command of the Wehrmacht.

Wei Xiuzhi asked people to send an ultimatum to the besieged Russian army at this time. Consideration deadline is 8 a.m. tomorrow!

"Tell them that if they don't surrender, we'll wipe them out cleanly!"

"The Kama River is not Omsk, there are waterways to go in Omsk. It's all land, pure land. ”

"Carrying thousands of prisoners and wounded soldiers on the road is a big problem. If they choose to resist to the end and fight again tomorrow, Lao Tzu will not leave any mercy under his hands. That is, as many Russians as you can kill, as many Russians as you can kill. It is two completely different treatments from voluntary surrender.

If you want to die or live, you will think about it at this night's time.

After saying this, Wei Xiuzhi went back to the room to rest. His headquarters was not a bunker like Rumyantsev, but twenty or thirty wooden rooms connected together, and Wei Xiuzhi lay under the bed and soon fell asleep. Yes, under the covers. At night in Siberia in May, if you want not to wake up from the cold, you have to cover yourself with a quilt.

I slept until the sky was slightly bright. I looked at my watch, and it was already halfway past six. Wei Xiuzhi got up and touched his face with cold water in the basin, his spirit was suddenly shocked, and he didn't hear the guards call him, which means that there was no special situation on the battlefield. Naturally, this also means that the Russians have not surrendered until now!

If the Russians do not surrender, the battle will surely begin. It is not a problem to eat 20,000 Russian troops.

But Wei Xiuzhi hoped that the Russian army would surrender. Because the Russian army surrendered, the Wehrmacht not only saved effort and effort, but also made it more convenient for him to act. Let the troops pretend to be Russian and continue to make the appearance of being surrounded, so as to lure the Russian cavalry floating outside to take the bait.

If the Russian army really surrenders, he will maintain the dignity that Rumyantsev, his opponent, and the marshal of the Russian army deserve, so that he will not use any bad means to humiliate this veteran. He will arrange people as soon as possible to send Rumyantsev and other generals who surrendered back to Zaisangpo for resettlement. Then the officers below the general are the second group, and finally the ordinary Russian soldiers.

But the Russian army has not yet surrendered. Wei Xiuzhi had a serious expression on his face, he didn't have much hope for persuasion before, and there were at least 20,000 Russians. And unlike the senior officers in Spain and the Netherlands, Lao Maozi's temperament is still very tough. Let's just say that Narepnin is still hiding in the ravine.

Wei Xiuzhi also has to take into account the Russian cavalry outside, the infantry is already a meal, and those cavalry can't go far.

But if you want to make the bureau decent, you have to spend money.

……

The Chinese cavalry control was shrinking, from thirty to fifty li, and overnight retreated to the thirty-li limit. Then the next day they retreated to the twenty-mile limit. For the Russian cavalry, this is a good thing. But for the whole battle, this is a big mistake.

At the same time that the Chinese cavalry began to retreat, there were faint roaring explosions and shouts of killing in the direction of the battlefield.

It is clear that the Wehrmacht is launching a fierce offensive against the Russian army. However, all the police circles of the Chinese cavalry units naturally have a much greater defensive density, and the Chinese still have hot air balloons in their hands.

It is really difficult for the Russian army to approach on a large scale without being detected by the Wehrmacht.

"General Sergei Leonidevich!"

Colonel Krasnov angrily ran to the top of the mound, stood in front of the cavalry commander Sergei Leonidvich, and said fiercely: "Why didn't you let the cavalry attack yet, why?" ”

"The Russian soldiers there are being ravaged by the Chinese hair, and we must be without the rockets, the weapons cursed by the devil. Their lives are being harvested by rockets fired by the Chinese. We cannot sit idly by. ”

"No team can attack without my orders. The Chinese have rockets in their hands, you know how powerful that thing is. That's the nemesis of the cavalry. An attack on the Chinese camp during the day was not a brave sacrifice, but a foolish death. Leonidevich waved his arms and said coldly.

He didn't want to wait here until it was dark, but during the day, when they attacked the Chinese, they were just sending them to death.

Did Krasnov think he didn't want the Russian tricolor to fly over Siberia forever?

"Coward! You're a coward! ......" Krasnov did not approve of Leonidevich's idea, he was a brave Cossack, and Leonidovich was a general from the regular cavalry of the Russian army, and his eyes looked at Leonidovich as if he would breathe fire. If it weren't for his lack of qualifications, he would very much like to take out his gun and kill the person in front of him.

In Krasnov's eyes, cavalry was meant to attack and sacrifice. Without sacrifice, then it is not cavalry.

So he never felt that sacrifice was a big deal.

His military ideology was to attack, to attack, to attack without stopping. Whether it is cavalry or army, whether it is an undefended field or a fortified castle, it is necessary to resolutely attack. The essence of war is to attack the enemy directly from the enemy's most vital parts, rather than to approach the enemy in an indirect and roundabout way. Only a brave attack can win!

And not just Krasnov, many cavalry officers from Cossack background, as well as Orthodox Russian officers, hold this idea. But it is clear that Leonidevich is not.

He is calmer and cold-blooded.

He was not a genius commander, he had never won a war to lose, he was not able to fight a brilliant victory like Rumyantsev with 27,000 remnants of soldiers who lacked medical treatment, and suddenly launched a counterattack to defeat the 150,000 Ottoman troops in front of him, but he never lost the battle he could win.

Leonidevich's calm brain allowed him to objectively analyze the enemy situation and avoid avoidable heavy casualties when he was at his most passionate.

In Leonidevich's eyes, the Chinese are very well guarded, and without the protection of night, it is difficult for them to pose a real threat to the Chinese, but they have leaked their traces.

Leonidevich insisted on an ambush with all his troops, waiting for darkness to come.

Although the possibility of them turning the tables in this battle is very small, at least some people must be brought out.

Leonidevich glanced at Krasnov expressionlessly, turned his head and continued to stare at the battlefield ahead, "Colonel Krasnov, you should go back and urge your subordinates now to rest well." Instead of coming here to point fingers! ”

As a regular cavalry major general of the Russian army, Leonidevich had his own pride. His judgment made him choose to stand still at that moment, then this was not something that a Cossack colonel could 'denigrate'. Even if Krasno did not represent himself, it was most likely the entire Cossack group.

A dragoon regiment, a hussar regiment, Leonidevich held in his hands a regular Russian cavalry of more than a thousand men, but the main force of this contingent of four thousand was three thousand Cossacks.

But so what? The command is in his hands.

Leonidevich's silently waited.

Krasnov was no longer reconciled, and he could only retreat silently.

A distant sound was like a small brush brushing his heart. Let him look at Leonidevich's eyes, it is very unkind.

Sometimes, cracks are just that easy to create.

……

"Woo Woo ......"

A barrage of rockets landed on Russian positions, a harbinger of another Wehrmacht offensive. Tilting artillery fire in the direction of the attack, rockets slipped down from the sky, "clanging" and exploding dense clouds of fire on the Russian positions.

The resistance of the Russian army was stubborn. Because this is a very important position for them, it has been taken by the Wehrmacht, and the Russian troops in the northwest corner, who are pinned down by the Wehrmacht and cannot retreat, are likely to be divided and surrounded by the Wehrmacht.

Rumyantsev will not shrink everyone to death, and the Wehrmacht will not launch a frantic offensive from all four directions. The battles on the positions of the Russian army were very purposeful.

The Wehrmacht is the cutter, to first cut the large Russian army into small pieces, then surround them, and then devour them.

The current position is the key area connecting the Russian army in the northwest corner with the central position, where the Russian army has placed a whole regiment. The resistance of the defenders was also extremely resolute and stubborn, but this resoluteness was only exchanged for more intense bombardment by the Wehrmacht.

Rockets shattered the breastwork and mounds of earth on the position, and all the Russian soldiers hid at the bottom of the trenches, waiting for the desperate moment to come.

Rumyantsev handed out the liquor in his hand.

For Russian soldiers, when they drink from their heads, it is the same as the Chinese warriors who are trapped in the battle, eating a good meal before going out into battle, and it is the last meal of life.

There is no need to tell what it is like to have no heart.

They were overwhelmed by the Wehrmacht's firepower, and the explosion of rockets, the explosion of flying thunder cannons, and the flying shrapnel flew sideways.

In the trenches, all the people, including the colonel, consciously squatted or lay on the ground. Let the bullets fly overhead.

War is merciless and just. It doesn't favor anyone for anything, and even the most powerful person can lose his life to an inconspicuous piece of shrapnel.

The Russian counterattack was fragile, relying on muskets and grenades in their hands. The accuracy of the flintlock pistol does not need much, and the coverage of the grenade is also known to everyone.

A bullet suddenly flew above Xiang Kexiang's head, and Xiang Kexiang, who was crawling on the battlefield like others, only felt dizzy in his head.

"Bullet, this is a deadly bullet flying over my head."

Xiang Kexiang suddenly felt a stiffness in his body, and a breathless feeling of suffocation surged into his heart, his heart beat as fast as a drum, and his crotch was faintly wet.

As an up-and-coming new painter, he was really not fit for the battlefield. Because the Wehrmacht had the advantage, he also wanted to experience the feeling of a war-torn battlefield, and he was looking for feelings/inspiration, but he almost lost his life just now.

Xiang Kexiang felt that he couldn't move all over, and he felt an unprecedented fear, he was afraid that the next moment, a bullet would suddenly take his life.

He regretted that he had come to experience the battlefield at this time, he was too ignorant, and he saw the war too simply. He should go to a safe hot air balloon, not a dangerous battlefield.

Xiang Kexiang couldn't wait to return to the safety of the bunker in the rear in the blink of an eye, he wanted to run away with his head in his hands, but he couldn't move.

Anyway, Xiang Kexiangren stiffened on the spot, his body lay on the ground and did not move, he had lost control of his limbs, he was nervous and wanted to shout, but he found that he couldn't even call, and he could only hug the ground tightly, trembling.

Like a timid little mouse.

Suddenly, a big hand grabbed his clothes, and Xiang Kexiang felt that he was being dragged backwards and moved like a dead dog at the moment.

At some point, Xiang Kexiang felt that he had regained control of his body, and he turned his head to see that the person who was holding him turned out to be the 'bodyguard' assigned to him by the headquarters.

After seeing the person clearly, Xiang Kexiang felt that his face was hot, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, it was too embarrassing. Thanks to the fact that he had always thought that he did not need a 'bodyguard' at all, the Wehrmacht had completely taken the advantage, and he did not need to charge into the front line, just follow behind to 'collect wind', and there was no danger at all. But who expected that he was so scared that he couldn't move just now.

In Xiang Kexiang's life of wealth and security, this incident was the most dangerous thing for him, and it was also the most humiliating thing for him.
