It was getting dark. The hard day has finally come to an end.

Krasnov went to prepare for battle, and Leonidevich was able to be appointed commander of the cavalry unit by Rumyantsev after Ivan Ivanovich Saltkov, and his military capabilities were still there. This is a commander who can be trusted, not the kind of guy who relies on sycophants to win high positions.

"Colonel Krasnov. I hope that you will not be timid in this offensive, the Cossack is a symbol of bravery. Do not let this honor be tarnished in your hands. Leonidevich said in a haughty tone, clearly taking revenge on Krasnov for his disrespect to him in the previous days.

Leonidevich still had that cold face when he spoke, while Krasnov was angry and his nose was red.

At that time, Krasnov watched Leonidevich smack away and spat at the ground.

……

Under the cover of night, a large number of Wehrmacht infantry rushed to the positions of the Russian army, and the rockets destroyed the breastwork and bunkers in close proximity in a near-direct manner. At the same time, small-caliber artillery clusters in the rear again shelled the rear of the positions of the Russian troops.

In the flash of the explosion, it seemed that a figure was panicked to avoid the shelling, and it was indeed the figure of the Russian army. Although the night darkness makes white-knuckle combat more common, armies that are not very organized tend to scatter faster.

The Wehrmacht units are also going through the process of 'going from formation to stragglers', but the Russian army is in chaos earlier and faster than them.

Rumyantsev can only keep piling up troops forward, and at this time he is a god descending from heaven, and he can only do this. He pursed his dry lips and looked at the smoke in the distance and gave orders again and again: "Infantry, move forward." Beware of Chinese rockets. ”

War cannot be blindly defensive, it must be counterattacked. Even in the most disadvantaged situation, Rumyantsev will not forget to fight back.

The crowds of the Chinese began to surge, and the tide of the Russian army was also surging.

In the dark night, the two streams of people collided together like two troikas that had been accumulating for a long time, just thinking about a tragic traffic accident.

The Wehrmacht were valiant, they were well trained, resolute in character and determined to fight; And the nervous Russian peasants were brave in the face of blood. Maybe some of them were new recruits, or maybe their military training was not strict or standard, but that didn't stop them from fighting bravely.

This night was their last hope.

If they want to escape, they must defeat the enemy in front of them with their bayonets.

Everyone believed that the Cossacks and the entire cavalry outside would attack the enemy in this night, like wolves hunting in the Siberian wilderness, cunning and ferocious.

Therefore, even though the Russian soldiers had paid a lot of casualties in the previous day, at this moment, these lives have become insignificant. It's just a tool to win 'victory and glory', or a stepping stone for some to step into a higher seat of power." So, obviously, they had to seize this last chance in front of them.

Regardless of whether the Russian Empire in the future will bow its noble head to the Easterners, but at this moment, they only need to think about themselves.

These Russian soldiers are like cornered wounded beasts, and they have launched their strongest fight, the battle of trapped beasts, which cannot be underestimated.

In the sudden burst of 'Ula' sound on the position, the counter-charge speed of the Russian light infantry increased sharply.

Rumyantsev also held a cuirassier regiment in his hands, which also reacted from both flanks at this moment.

They had already taken aim at the offensive line long before the attack, with two lines, left and right, bypassing the Russian trenches and breastwork bunkers, bypassing the front that had been bombarded by rockets, and each of them crossed a graceful arc to cut into the rear of the Wehrmacht's attacking troops from the side.

It was a very bold attack.

The cavalry charge in the dark has too many unpredictable dangers. A small pothole can cause a galloping horse to stumble and take the life of a soldier/officer.

Even if the Russian army had already looked at the route before, and after the night came, a large number of people were dispatched to repair some of the explosion craters, remove some obstacles, and almost level the two avenues. But no one thinks that they will be able to rush to their target 'unscathed'.

Six or seven hundred cavalry spread out on the attack surface of three hundred meters wide on each flank, and the queue was quite open, like a pair of rapidly moving wings, the thunderous sound of hooves made the ground tremble slightly, and the snow-bright cavalry knives emitted a cold light.

- Russia, the cuirassiers, which are only equipped in the Guards Corps, showed their sharp edge at the last moment.

"Ula ......"

"For Russia's sake, charge—"

The knight's whistling came to Rumyantsev's face, and his face turned red with excitement, the tiredness of sleepless days and nights was swept away, and the reddened rosacea nose was even more red. The knuckles of the old marshal's fingers holding the command knife turned white, and his entire arm, no, his whole body trembled slightly.

Before the cuirassiers could charge, he heard the sound of fighting on the periphery. Cavalry, the answer is coming. And they came!

The value of a soldier is on the battlefield, that is, in the attacks planned by himself again and again, especially this passionate scene in front of him is also related to the dignity of his life, how can he not be excited?!

The fighting spirit of the Wehrmacht was extremely tenacious, like a huge stone rolling forward slowly and unswervingly, and the blue-gray crowd army went up in waves, all like waves crashing on the reef, scattered to pieces. But the cuirassiers proceeded very well, and they quickly routed the rear of the Wehrmacht, cut off the Wehrmacht offensive forces from the rear positions, and then turned back with all their might, despite the danger that the Wehrmacht might strike quickly from behind. Like two sharp knives, they were thrust into the vests of the Wehrmacht attacking troops.

Rumyantsev felt a touch of self-satisfaction, although the final fate is not yet known, but in the current counterattack, he is already fully sure of winning. If he doesn't plan to break through tonight, then he should be able to have a restful night with this victory.

Rumyantsev walked with the steps of a victor to a mound next to the headquarters, which was the earthwork accumulated from digging trenches, and piled up a mound in front of the bunker/headquarters, which would give Rumyantsev's command a lot of protection.

Rumyantsev was going to watch the results of the night with his own eyes.

- An army, in difficult times, when their morale and fighting spirit fade, their fatigue should also rise. But when they saw the open hands of the goddess of victory, they were refreshed and high-spirited.

This is called mental strength overwhelming physical fatigue and can stimulate the last bit of sharpness and spirit of the army.

But this momentum will not last long.

The continuous offensive and the casualties of a large number of soldiers will quickly wear down the spiritual strength of the army. And when this spirit is completely consumed, the sequelae are inevitable. This kind of mental slackness, frustration, frustration, and physical fatigue caused by the loss of fighting spirit are very serious. Why is it said that the victims in the desert are most afraid of seeing a mirage? That is, the disappointment and disillusionment of hope are too big and too heavy.

It's like a person running a long distance, running for dozens of miles, exhausted to death, and thinking about resting at this time. But when a pile of gold was placed a few miles away, the man must have mustered up the last of his physical strength to run, and when he ran to it, he found that the gold was his hallucination, and the subsequent seizure could paralyze people.

Sergei Leonidevich also finally made a move. The Cossack cavalry under his command smashed into the battlefield like a hot knife cutting into butter through the cracks in the Wehrmacht cavalry net.

This is a very inconspicuous loophole, and it is not in vain that the Cossacks have been wandering around the periphery of the front these days.

It didn't take long, only in the initial stage of the siege and the beginning of the final 'extermination battle' before them, they were aware of this gap.

Of course, Leonidevich also had doubts about whether it was a loophole deliberately made by the Chinese, but the 'before and after' ah, which largely dispelled his doubts. And they already have no choice.

Whether to run headfirst into the Chinese's defensive cavalry, or to insert it through a loophole that is unlikely to be a trap, does not require much time to consider.

Fighting in and out of chaos is the Cossack's specialty, even the hussars of the Russian army are not as sharp as the Cossacks.

In addition to a regiment of hussars, Leonidevich also had a regiment of dragoons.

The dragoons were not knights on earth-walking dragons, but horseback infantry, although they had a very awesome name.

Leonidvich with two regiments, closely following behind the Cossack cavalry, also rushed into the range of the Wehrmacht, but Leonidvich made up his mind to use his two regiments to the rear of the palace.

Jiang Xiaoxian was about to throw the kettle in his hand to Chen Baoguang, but unexpectedly felt the ground tremble slightly, as if a 'rumbling' thunder was rapidly approaching.

He knew that it was not God who was really 'thundering', but the Russian cavalry.

As the most elite main regiment in Wei Xiuzhi's hands, Jiang Xiaoxian is the highest-ranking officer in this regiment today, the deputy of the regiment was killed, the regiment chief and instructor were wounded, lying in the field hospital, and less than 1,000 people in the whole regiment can still fight, and all of them are concentrated in this position at this moment.

And this position is a hard-fought fate.

They had to withstand the onslaught of the Russian cavalry, like a strong dam, blocking more and more Cossacks from the other side of the dam. Then cooperate with the cavalry that arrived at the 'right time' to force the Russian cavalry group to the 'predetermined' location, and then the concentrated fire of the rockets will make the crowded old Maozi instantly float all over the ground.

And one of the prerequisites for this plan was that the remnants of the main regiment of which Jiang Xiaoxian was the acting head of the regiment - there were not many of them, and they could firmly keep the Cossack cavalry out of their positions.

Large-scale cavalry in the dark is not so easy to form combat effectiveness.

Gan Ning can lead a hundred cavalry to attack Cao's camp at night, without losing a single person, but he has to take two or three thousand cavalry, so he may not be in chaos in the night.

But if the enemy can really maintain a certain lethality in the dark night, such a cavalry charge will be very fatal to the infantry!

The artillery in front of the "boom boom boom ......" position spewed out gunsmoke, and after the shotguns were smashed down one after another, the rockets followed before the smoke cleared. Jiang Xiaoxian's troops also fought Zhao Mingde, and a large number of Cossack cavalry appeared in front of their positions!

The artillery bombarded them frantically, and at this moment all the artillery that could reach this position was aimed at this side. Rockets and platoon guns followed. Bonfires lit up on the Wehrmacht positions.

Krasnov let out a groan: "God, they are really well prepared. "These campfires are clearly prepared.

The Chinese are eager to pour all the rockets on them, and rockets are exploding every moment. But the Cossacks were still charging, and Krasnov's forehead was even more agitated.

Because they see hope.

As long as they pierce the position in front of them, they can rush directly into the battlefield.

The latter is not far ahead, with a large number of people, shouting and fighting.

The incessant rockets almost tore the ground apart, and the Cossack cavalrymen on horseback were blown to pieces, or the whole person was blown into the sky, and the corpses could not be put together when they fell.

Bloody rain and bloody wind, stumps and broken arms. These are all grinding the nerves of the Cossacks.

Everyone is suffering in silence, they can't do anything, and each of them may become countless parts like those who died in the next moment. They only move forward one by one, and they are indomitable!

The Cossack cavalry in front of them fell to the ground like wheat harvesting! In just a few minutes, the corpses of people and horses quickly piled up like a hill!

Some of the Cossack cavalry who charged behind couldn't stand such a violent psychological blow, so they turned their horses around and fled the way they came, but they were quickly executed by Krasnov, who supervised the battle!

Krasnov was lucky enough to survive until now, unscathed. He said "God bless" countless times in his heart, and decided that as long as he returned to the rear, whenever he touched the church, he would sincerely repent to God.

"Cossack warriors, come with me!" Krasnov's whole person became a '7', stood up straight on both legs, stood on the stirrups, the upper body of the whole body overturned the horse's neck, pulled the reins of the horse in one hand, brandished the saber in the other, shouted loudly, commanded his subordinates, and swept violently towards the Wehrmacht position!

It's just that Krasnov didn't look back at his follow-up forces, and just when he was fanatically trying to break through the Wehrmacht position, behind him, a large group of Cossack cavalry could no longer withstand the combined blows of artillery, muskets and rockets, and the threat of Wehrmacht cavalry sweeping from behind, so he chose to turn around and ran over from the right side of the position.

At this time, Leonidevich had already swallowed his last breath, and a deep knife mark was broken on his chest, and if it weren't for the button on his chest that played a certain blocking role, Leonidevich would have died on the spot. Instead of falling off the horse, he looked at the stars in the night sky with his eyes lost, thinking about his wife and children at home, and swallowed his last breath.

The Russian dragoons who dismounted to meet the battle were trampled to death by the galloping war horses, and were cut in two by the sabers that were raised one after another!

And a regiment of hussars, after stubbornly blocking the Wehrmacht cavalry for more than 20 minutes, was like ice cubes taken out of the refrigerator, leaking into the scorching sun and completely 'melting'.

Krasnov cried out in his heart: victory! You're going to win! The skull was then shattered by a lead bullet fired from a rifled gun.

The Cossack cavalry unit led by him, that is, the vanguard of the entire Cossack cavalry unit, a whole reinforced regiment, a Cossack regiment of eight hundreds, was completely annihilated.

The corpses of men and horses were literally piled up in front of the position into an undulating hill.

Jiang Xiaoxian felt that this battle was very easy, and it was not as difficult as expected. He was mentally prepared to fight with the Russian cavalry with bayonets, and as a result, so many Russian cavalry only 100 cavalry rushed to the front of the battle.

And then all of them were wiped out.

This battle can be said to be won!

The relaxed Wehrmacht soldiers smiled and said that everyone was blessed. There were so many dead horses, not only did the wounded have enough to eat, but they could also taste fresh meat.

At this time, Jiang Xiaoxian's heart was completely annihilated by surprise.

In this battle, I really made enough capital.

The previous blocking war, the current blocking war, and the road to becoming a general in the future has been completely paved.

Even the general's epaulettes seem to beckon him, honor beckons to him......

The chaotic Cossack cavalry was forced to turn to the right side of the position, and then because of the road conditions, the distance between the ranks was getting smaller and smaller, and the density was getting larger and larger, and some smart people sensed the troops and drilled directly into the woods on the left and right, then those woods were firing lead bullets from time to time, and there were Chinese scouts and chasseurs lying in ambush there. They also risked their lives to get in!

And then they all earned it.

Suddenly, the thunderous explosion of the "boom ......" rolled over like a muffled thunder and reached the ears of the Cossack soldiers, as well as the ears of Rumyantsev.

At this time, Rumyantsev's face was already stiff, because he saw the Cossack cavalry hitting their heads and bleeding in front of a narrow Chinese line, and was forced to change direction. The cavalry units of the Chinese have already surrounded them.

Now, countless pillars of gunpowder and smoke rose from the position where the Cossack cavalry had fled, and the loud noise was accompanied by a dazzling orange light, and the gray crowd and horses were torn to pieces in the fire and smoke!

"No—" Rumyantsev's head was bruised, his face was red with blood, he roared, and then he seemed to hear something ring, like a glass bottle shattering, and as soon as his eyes went black, the whole person fell backwards. All the longing in his heart disappeared in this burst of rockets, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

Rumyantsev was also beside the high-ranking generals of the Russian army, who could only have red eyes at the moment, yelling like crazy, and their eyes were like bull's eyes.

It's over, it's all over.

Not only the 20,000 Russian troops who were besieged were finished, but even the 4,000 cavalry outside were also finished.

Before dawn, the battle finally reached its final moments. The last point of the formed Russian army has shrunk to the periphery of the headquarters, and this time the Wehrmacht did not come to persuade him to surrender, it was the Russian army itself that wanted to surrender.

It's just that several high-ranking officers of the Russian army are still counting on the old marshal Rumyantsev to wake up and then resist this responsibility. Just as a group of people were shouting around Rumyantsev, the sound of rockets breaking through the air from far to near sounded in their ears.

Everyone instinctively fell to the ground, including the general who was still shouting softly for Rumyantsev. Now it was a sharp forward pounce on the ground, on all fours, hunched at the waist, not caring at all about their status as a general.

A series ......of more than a dozen violent explosions drowned out everyone outside the headquarters, including the soldiers of the guards and the staff officers nearby, all of whom were torn apart on the spot by the shock wave, or were smashed into blood gourds by shrapnel. By the time the rushing Wehrmacht took over the bunker's exterior, the life had left only a few pieces of charred flesh in or around the craters.
